Version 04.24.17. (Std/Neg EntrepreneurShares Series Trust, DATE 2017)

4. SET UP OF ACCOUNTS.

4.1.

Accounts. The Client instructs the Custodian to establish and maintain a Custody Account and a Cash Account. The Client may give an Instruction to establish additional Custody Accounts or Cash Accounts from time to time. The Custodian shall promptly notify the Client if the Custodian does not accept any securities or cash in a Custody Account or Cash Account.

4.2.

Cash Account Purpose and Use. The Client agrees that it shall use any Cash Account only for deposits and funds transfers in connection with the Securities received, held or delivered for the Client by the Custodian or otherwise in connection with services provided by the Custodian under this Agreement.

4.3.

Cash Held as Banker. Cash held for the Client by the Custodian, or where applicable by a sub-custodian will be held as banker and not on trust or as trustee, unless the Custodian otherwise provides notice to the Client. As a result, Cash will not be held in accordance with client money rules or similar rules and, in the event of the Custodian’s insolvency (or analogous event), the Client may not be entitled to share in any distribution under those rules.

4.4.	Cash Held by a Sub-Custodian.

4.4.1.

In some circumstances applicable law and regulation may require the sub-custodian to establish and maintain the local cash account in the name of the Client rather than in the name of the Custodian. In any such case, the Client hereby authorizes the Custodian as agent of the Client, and agrees to confirm and ratify any steps taken by the Custodian, to open a cash account with the relevant sub-custodian in the name of the Client.

4.4.2.

Any cash held directly by a sub-custodian on behalf of the Client will be owed by that sub-custodian directly to the Client, and will not be subject to UK or other client money rules or held by the Custodian as banker for the Client. Such cash will be subject to the relevant laws or regulatory rules applicable to the sub-custodian, including the laws and rules of the jurisdiction in which the sub-custodian is located. Notwithstanding the previous sentence, or any other terms of this Agreement, the Custodian agrees that it shall have the same liability to the Client for the cash held with a sub-custodian as if such cash was held for the Client by the Custodian as banker in the relevant market.

4.4.3.

Unless otherwise specified in this Agreement, the terms of this Agreement in relation to Cash Accounts shall apply to a cash account held by the Client with a sub-custodian.

4.5.	Identification. The Custodian shall identify on its records each Custody Account and Cash Account in the name of the Client or such other name as the Client may reasonably designate.

4.6. Securities Segregation.

4.6.1.

The Custodian shall identify Securities on its records in a manner so that it is readily apparent the Securities held in a Custody Account (i) belong to the Client or its customers (as applicable), (ii) do not belong to the Custodian or any other clients of the Custodian, and (iii) are segregated on the books and records of the Custodian from the Custodian’s and its other clients’ assets. The Custodian intends that Securities will be held in such manner that they should not become available to the insolvency administrator or creditors of the Custodian.

4.6.2.

The Custodian may hold Securities with an Agent only where the Agent has been selected and appointed by the Custodian as a sub custodian. The Custodian shall hold Securities only in an account at the sub-custodian that holds exclusively assets held by the Custodian for its clients (omnibus or separated in the names of its clients) and that has been so identified on the books and records of the sub-custodian. The Custodian shall require the sub-custodian to identify on its records in a manner so that it is readily apparent that the Securities (i) do not belong to the Custodian and are held by the Custodian for and belong to clients of the Custodian, (ii) do not belong to the sub-custodian or other clients of the sub-custodian, and (iii) are segregated on the books and records of the sub-custodian from the sub-custodian’s and its other clients’ assets. The Custodian shall require each sub-custodian to agree that Securities will not be subject to any right, charge, security interest, lien or claim of any kind in favor of the sub-custodian. Any Securities held with any sub-custodian will be subject only to Instructions of the Custodian.

Version 04.24.17. (Std/Neg EntrepreneurShares Series Trust, DATE 2017)

4.6.3.

Custodian shall and shall require any sub-custodian to hold Securities in a Clearance System only in an account that holds assets exclusively belonging to its clients and that has been so identified on the books and records of the Clearance System or that is identified at the Clearance System in the name of a nominee of the Custodian or sub-custodian used exclusively to hold Securities for clients. In certain markets, the Custodian or its sub-custodian may open an account at a Clearance System in the name of the Client or its customer, as required by the rules of the Clearance System.

4.6.4.

The Custodian shall and shall require any sub-custodian to record book-entry Securities or uncertificated Securities settled outside a Clearance System on the books and records of the applicable transfer agent or registrar (or the issuer if none) in a way that identifies that the Securities are being held by the Custodian or its sub-custodian as custodian for clients and are not assets belonging to the Custodian or the sub-custodian, if applicable.

4.6.5.

The Custodian shall and shall require any sub-custodian to hold certificated Securities in registered or bearer form in its vault segregated from certificates held for itself and/or any other clients. If the registered certificates are not registered in the Custodian’s or its sub-custodian’s name (or its nominee name) the Custodian will not be responsible for asset services as provided in Clause 8 under this Agreement.

4.6.6.

The Custodian may hold Securities in the name of a nominee of the Custodian or its sub-custodian or a nominee of the Clearance System as may be required by that Clearance System.

4.6.7.

The Custodian shall require that any actions with respect to Securities held for the Client under this Agreement in a Clearance System or in the name of the Custodian, a sub-custodian or any nominee on the books and records of any transfer agent or registrar will be subject only to the instructions of the Custodian or its sub-custodian, if applicable.

4.6.8.

The Custodian shall not, and shall require that its sub-custodians do not, lend, pledge, hypothecate or rehypothecate any Securities without the Client’s consent. The Client acknowledges that Securities may be subject to rights or claims of a Clearance System or its agents or participants pursuant to applicable law or regulation or as a requirement for effecting transactions within the Clearance System.

5.	SECURITIES AND CASH PROCEDURES.

5.1. Account Procedures—Credits and Debits.

5.1.1.

The Client shall ensure that it has sufficient Securities or sufficient immediately available Cash in the required currency credited with the Custodian as necessary to effect any Instruction or other delivery or payment required under this Agreement.

5.1.2.

The Custodian may, but is not obligated to, credit cash to the Cash Account before a corresponding and final receipt in cleared funds. The Client agrees that the Custodian may at any time before final receipt, or if a Clearance System at any time reverses an applicable credit to the Custodian, reverse all or any part of a credit of cash to the Client and make an appropriate entry to its records including restatement of the Cash Account and reversing any interest paid.

5.1.3.

The Custodian will credit Securities to the Custody Account upon receipt of the Securities by final settlement determined in accordance with the practices of the relevant market. Final settlement depends on the market confirmation of settlement to the Custodian and may include real time movement with finality, real time movement without finality, or confirmation of settlement but with movement of securities at end of the day. If any Clearance System reverses any credit of Securities (or the Custodian is otherwise obligated to return Securities as a result of a settlement reversed in accordance with market requirements), the Client agrees that the Custodian may reverse all or any part of the credit of the Securities to the Custody Account and make an appropriate entry to its records including restatement of the Custody Account. In the event of any reversal of Securities, the

Version 04.24.17. (Std/Neg EntrepreneurShares Series Trust, DATE 2017)

Client agrees that the Custodian may reverse any credit of cash provided to the Client with respect to the Securities, such as distributions or the proceeds of any transaction.

5.1.4.

The Custodian shall provide the Client with prompt notice of a reversal of cash or Securities.

5.1.5.

Where notice of a reversal of Cash or Securities has been given and there is insufficient Cash or Securities to satisfy the reversal, the Client shall promptly repay in the applicable currency the amount required to satisfy the deficit in the Cash Account and/or return any Securities to the Custody Account.

5.1.6.

If the Custodian has received Instructions (or is authorized under this Agreement to make any delivery or payment without an Instruction) that would result in the delivery of a Security or payment of Cash in any currency exceeding credits to the Client for that Security or Cash, the Custodian may in its discretion, subject to acting consistently with the standard of care in this Agreement, (i) effect any cash payment or other funds transfer and create or increase an extension of credit to the Client including any overdraft, (ii) make partial deliveries or payments consistent with market practice, (iii) fulfill subsequently received Instruction to the extent of then available Securities or Cash held for the Client, or (iv) suspend or delay acting on any Instruction until it receives required Securities or Cash . The Custodian shall notify the Client if the Custodian does not act on any Instruction because the Client has insufficient Securities or Cash.

5.1.7.

Notwithstanding any Instruction or termination of this Agreement, at any time the Custodian may retain sufficient Securities or Cash to close out or complete any Instruction or transaction that the Custodian will be required to settle on the Client’s behalf or to cover any obligation of the Client.

5.1.8.

The Client shall not enforce any payment obligation of the Custodian at or against another branch or affiliate of the Custodian. The Custodian is obligated to pay Cash only in the currency in which the applicable payment obligation is denominated and only in the country in which such Cash is used in connection with Securities received, held or delivered or other services under this Agreement are provided in that country, regardless of whether that currency’s transferability, convertibility or availability has been affected by any law, regulation, decree rule or other governmental or regulatory action. The Client agrees that it may not require the Custodian or any member of the Citi Organization to substitute a currency for any other currency.

5.2.	Extensions of Credit; Reimbursement.

5.2.1.

The Client agrees that any extension of credit to the Client under this Agreement will be unadvised, uncommitted and at the sole discretion of the Custodian, and the Client agrees that it shall repay any extension of credit upon demand. The Custodian may charge interest on any overdraft at the rate notified to the Client from time to time. The Custodian may at any time cancel or refuse any extension of credit. No prior action or course of dealing by the Custodian with respect to extending credit to effect any settlement of any transactions or any Instructions will obligate the Custodian to extend any credit in regard to any subsequent settlement of any transaction or Instruction.

5.2.2.

The Client agrees that “extension of credit” as used in this Agreement includes any daylight and overnight overdraft or similar advances, any reimbursement obligation as provided in this Agreement, and uncommitted overdraft lines or similar uncommitted lines provided by the Custodian to the Client in connection with the Cash Account or services under this Agreement.

5.2.3.

At any time the Custodian may demand that the Client reimburse the Custodian in respect of any irrevocable commitment incurred in carrying out Instructions to clear and/or settle transactions for the Client under this Agreement (including fail costs payable by the Custodian if the Client were to fail to deliver any required Securities). Irrevocable commitments are incurred on the date the Custodian becomes irrevocably obligated to a Clearance System or other person for the delivery of Securities or payment of Cash, even if the Custody Account or the Cash Account has insufficient Securities or Cash in the required currency on the applicable settlement date. The Client agrees that its reimbursement obligation arises when the irrevocable commitment is incurred by the Custodian despite the actual settlement or maturity date. The Client agrees that after the Custodian

Version 04.24.17. (Std/Neg EntrepreneurShares Series Trust, DATE 2017)

has made a demand for reimbursement by the Client, the Client shall pay cash equal to that demand and the Custodian may debit the Client for the amount the Custodian will be obligated to pay in regard to the irrevocable commitment, whether or not that debit creates or increases any overdraft by the Client.

5.3. Foreign Exchange.

5.3.1.

The Client agrees that it assumes the risks associated with holding or effecting transactions in Cash denominated in any currency including any events or laws that delay or adversely affect transferability, convertibility or availability of any currency, appropriation or seizure, any devaluation or redenomination of any currency or fluctuations or changes in foreign exchange rates.

5.3.2.

The Client may instruct the Custodian to execute a foreign exchange as part of the services under this Agreement. Instructions may be given on a case by case basis or as a standing Instruction. The Custodian will debit the Client’s Cash Account to process foreign exchange and credit the Client’s Cash Account with the new currency in accordance with the Instruction(s). The Custodian may net or set off transactions when effecting foreign exchange. The Custodian may be compensated in part from the spread taken on foreign exchange, and the Custodian or an affiliate may act as principal in any foreign exchange. The Client will be notified of the exchange rate of all executed foreign exchange in its reporting from the Custodian or, if not included, upon Client’s request. The Client acknowledges that the foreign exchange rate applied will depend on a number of factors, including the size of the transaction, the liquidity in the relevant currencies, the time of day and other market factors. The Client may not receive published spot rates in the relevant currencies. Unless otherwise provided in applicable law, the Client agrees that neither the Custodian nor any applicable affiliate assumes any fiduciary or other duty by virtue of effecting foreign exchange, nor are they acting as trustee.

6. AGENCY SERVICES: PORTFOLIO COMPOSITION.

6.1.

Determination of Creation Deposit. Subject to and in accordance with directions and information provided by the Client’s sponsor (“Sponsor”) and the Fund’s accountant (“Fund Accountant”), in each case as identified by the Client, the Client’s policies, as adopted from time to time by the Board of Trustees of the Client (“Board”), and procedures set forth in the Prospectus, the Custodian will determine for each Fund after the end of each trading day on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) the following information required for the issuance or redemption, as the case may be, of Shares in Creation Unit aggregations of a Fund on such date:

(i)

The identity and weighting of the Portfolio Components of a Creation Unit of such Fund for purposes of purchases in-kind and redemptions in-kind for standard and custom Creation Units. Identity and weighting of Portfolio Components for non-standard and negotiated Creation Units will be provided by the Sponsor by agreed upon deadlines.

(ii)

Determine Cash Values as instructed.

The Custodian will provide (or cause to be provided) the Portfolio Components as instructed according to the policies established by the Board, and as required will provide such information to the NSCC for dissemination prior to the opening of trading on the NYSE on each day that the NYSE is open.

6.2.

Movements of Portfolio Components. In connection with purchases of Creation Units, the Custodian will monitor the receipt of the underlying Portfolio Components or the receipt of Cash as collateral in lieu of Securities pursuant to Instructions in accordance with Section 7 below, and will cause the delivery of Shares only upon confirmation that such Securities and/or Cash have settled in the applicable Custody Account or Cash Account. The settlement of Shares shall be aligned with the settlement of the underlying Portfolio Components.

In connection with redemptions of Creation Units, the Custodian will monitor the receipt of Shares or collateral in lieu of Shares, and will release to the applicable Authorized Participant the underlying

Version 04.24.17. (Std/Neg EntrepreneurShares Series Trust, DATE 2017)

Portfolio Components pursuant to Instructions received in accordance with Section 7 of this Agreement.

7. AGENCY SERVICES: CREATION UNITS, SALES AND REDEMPTIONS.

7.1.

Sale of Shares. The Custodian will deposit into the Custody Account or Cash Account of the appropriate Fund, such payments (consisting of Securities and Cash, including Cash collateral) as are received from each Authorized Participant for purchase of Shares in Creation Units thereof issued or sold from time to time by a Fund. The Client’s distributor (“Distributor”) shall be the Client’s Authorized Person for (i) advising the Custodian each day as to the Creation Units purchased by an Authorized Participant and (ii) identifying to the Custodian the Authorized Participants. The Custodian will provide timely notification to the Sponsor on behalf of each such Fund of any receipt by it of Portfolio Components as payments for Shares and instruct the Client’s transfer agent (“Transfer Agent”) as to the issuance of new Shares in Creation Units in connection with such payments; and the Custodian will effect the transfer of the Shares to the Authorized Participant through the NSCC or as otherwise required.

7.2.

Repurchases or Redemptions of Shares. From Securities and Cash held for a Fund as may be available for the purpose, the Custodian will deliver Portfolio Components, as required, for payment to Authorized Participants who have delivered to the Distributor proper instructions for the redemption or repurchase of Shares in Creation Unit aggregations, which will have been accepted by the Distributor. The Distributor shall advise the Custodian each day as to the repurchase of Shares in Creation Units. The Custodian will transfer the applicable Portfolio Components to the Authorized Participant and instruct the Transfer Agent as to the cancellation of the corresponding Shares in Creation Units of the applicable Fund. Any cash redemption payment (less any applicable redemption transaction fee) due to the Authorized Participant on redemption will be effected through the NSCC, the DTC or through wire transfer (in the case of redemptions effected outside of the NSCC or the DTC).

The Client understands and agrees that, in accordance with generally accepted settlement practices and customs in certain jurisdictions or markets in which Securities may be held, the Custodian may deliver Securities prior to the receipt of Shares of a Fund the redemption for which such Securities were being delivered. Any loss resulting from such “free” delivery of Securities will be at the risk of the Client without regard to whether any Instructions were for other delivery or receipt.

7.3.

Acceptance of Collateral in Lieu of Portfolio Components or Shares. The Custodian shall accept Cash collateral in lieu of (i) any Securities required to be delivered by an Authorized Participant in connection with a sale of Shares pursuant to Section 7.1 of this Agreement or (ii) Shares in Creation Units required to be delivered by an Authorized Participant in connection with a repurchase or redemption of any such Creation Unit pursuant to Section 7.2 of this Agreement. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that if a Fund participates in the Continuous Net Settlement System of the NSCC (“CNS”) then the Custodian shall have no responsibility for (i) calculating the amount of Cash collateral required to be delivered by any Authorized Participant or (ii) contacting such Authorized Participant to request the posting of any Cash collateral; and to the extent Cash as collateral is required, such collateral shall be delivered by the Authorized Participant to the Custodian as a CNS money movement.

If any requisite Cash as collateral has not been received by the Custodian prior to 2:00 p.m. (Eastern Time) on the Settlement Date for the Shares being purchased (or Redemption Date for the Shares being redeemed), the Custodian will not be required to release the newly created Shares (or Portfolio Components underlying newly redeemed Shares); provided, however, that the Custodian shall make a good faith effort to release Shares or Portfolio Components where collateral is received after such time.

7.4.	Calculation of Collateral Amount. If a Fund participates in CNS (a “CNS Fund”), then the amount of Cash collateral, if any, required to be posted by each Authorized Participant with respect to such

Version 04.24.17. (Std/Neg EntrepreneurShares Series Trust, DATE 2017)

Fund (the “Required Collateral Amount”) shall be determined solely by NSCC. For each Fund that does not participate in CNS (each a “Non-CNS Fund”), on a daily basis, the Custodian will (i) calculate the amount of Cash as collateral, if any, required to be delivered by each Authorized Participant and (ii) contact each Authorized Participant, as applicable, and request the Authorized Participant post collateral equal to the Required Collateral Amount (defined below). All fund transfers shall be made by Fed wire. The Required Collateral Amount varies based on the portion of Securities or Shares delivered to an Account by the Authorized Participant in connection with its purchase or redemption of Shares, as applicable, as of the relevant calculation date. The shortfall between the value of Securities delivered to the applicable Account and the value of the Securities Component of a Creation Unit (“Total Basket Value”) is referred to as the “Deficiency Amount”.

In connection with the purchase of Shares in any Non-CNS Fund by an Authorized Participant, the Required Collateral Amount shall be equal to the Deficiency Amount plus a markup amount as directed by the Fund. In connection with the redemption of Shares by an authorized Participant, the Required Collateral Amount shall be equal to the value of the total number of Shares underlying the applicable redemption order for each Creation Unit based on the trade date NAV of such Shares, plus a markup amount as directed by the Fund.

7.5	Collateral Calls; Return of Collateral; Buy-Ins.

7.5.1.

Collateral Calls for CNS Funds. NSCC shall contact the applicable Authorized Participant and request the Authorized Participant to post additional collateral on any business day when the collateral posted is less than the Required Collateral Amount. Any call for additional collateral by NSCC shall be in NSCC’s sole discretion. The Custodian will not be required to call for additional collateral. The Authorize Participant must post 100% of such additional collateral to the relevant Account by CNS money movement. The Custodian will verify that the correct amount of additional collateral was timely received.

7.5.2.

ffeef

1.	INTRODUCTION

These Conditions form part of the Global Custodial and Agency Services Agreement (the “Agreement”) that applies between the Client and the Custodian in relation to the provision of Accounts (i.e. each Cash Account and Custody Account) and services to the Client pursuant to the Agreement. The purpose of these Conditions is to set out each party’s obligations in relation to Confidential Information and Personal Data received from the other party in connection with the provision of Accounts and services under the Agreement. Some provisions of these Conditions are region-specific and will only apply in respect of the regions or countries specified. In some countries, further country-specific terms are required, and these will be included in the local conditions for that country provided in writing to the Client.

2.	PROTECTION OF CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION

The Receiving Party will keep the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information confidential on the terms hereof and exercise at least the same degree of care with respect to the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information that the Receiving Party exercises to protect its own Confidential Information of a similar nature, and in any event, no less than reasonable care.

3.	USE AND DISCLOSURE OF CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION

The Disclosing Party hereby grants the Receiving Party the right to use and disclose the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information to the extent necessary to accomplish the relevant Permitted Purposes. The Receiving Party will only use and disclose the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information to the extent permitted in these Conditions.

4.	EXCEPTIONS TO CONFIDENTIALITY

Notwithstanding anything in these Conditions to the contrary, the restrictions on the use and disclosure of Confidential Information in these Conditions do not apply to: information that (i) is in or enters the public domain other than as a result of the wrongful act or omission of the Receiving Party or its Affiliates, or their respective Representatives in breach of these Conditions, (ii) is lawfully obtained by the Receiving Party from a third party or already known by the Receiving Party in each case without notice of any obligation to maintain it as confidential, (iii) was independently developed by the Receiving Party without reference to the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information, (iv) an authorized officer of the Disclosing Party has agreed in writing that the Receiving Party may disclose on a non-confidential basis, or (v) constitutes Anonymized and/or Aggregated Data.

5.	AUTHORISED DISCLOSURES

5.1

Affiliates and Representatives. The Receiving Party may disclose the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information to Receiving Party’s Affiliates and to those of the Receiving Party’s and its Affiliates’ respective Representatives who have a “need to know” such Confidential Information, although only to the extent necessary to fulfil the relevant Permitted Purposes. The Receiving Party shall ensure that any of its Affiliates and Representatives to whom the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information is disclosed pursuant to this Condition 5.1 shall be bound to keep such Confidential Information confidential and to use it for only the relevant Permitted Purposes.

5.2

Other disclosures. Custodian Recipients may: (i) disclose the Client‘s Confidential Information to such parties as may be designated by the Client (for example, the Client’s shared service centre) and to Client Affiliates; (ii) disclose the Client’s Confidential Information to Payment Infrastructure Providers on a confidential basis to the extent necessary for the operation of the Account and the provision of the services under the Agreement; and (iii) use and disclose to other Custodian Recipients the Client’s Confidential Information received from the Client for the purpose of

Version 04.24.17. (Std/Neg EntrepreneurShares Series Trust, DATE 2017)

5.3

Payment reconciliation. When the Client instructs the Custodian to make a payment from an Account to a third party’s account, in order to enable the third party to perform payment reconciliations, the Custodian may disclose to the third party the Client’s name, address and account number (and such other Client Confidential Information as may be reasonably required by the third party to perform payment reconciliations).

5.4

Legal and regulatory disclosure. The Receiving Party (and, where the Custodian is the Receiving Party, Custodian Recipients and Payment Infrastructure Providers) may disclose the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information pursuant to legal process, or pursuant to any other foreign or domestic legal and/or regulatory obligation or request, or agreement entered into by any of them and any governmental authority, domestic or foreign, or between or among any two or more domestic or foreign governmental authorities, including disclosure to courts, tribunals, and/or legal, regulatory, tax and government authorities.

6.	RETENTION AND DELETION

On closure of Accounts or termination of the provision of the services under the Agreement, each of the Client and Custodian Recipients shall be entitled to retain and use the other party’s Confidential Information, subject to the confidentiality and security obligations herein, for legal, regulatory, audit and internal compliance purposes and in accordance with their internal records management policies to the extent that this is permissible under applicable laws and regulations, but shall otherwise securely destroy or delete such Confidential Information.

7.	DATA PRIVACY

7.1	Compliance with law. The Receiving Party will comply with applicable local data protection law in Processing Disclosing Party Personal Data in connection with the provision or receipt of Accounts and services under the Agreement.

7.2

Confidentiality and security. The Custodian will, and will use reasonable endeavours to ensure that Custodian Affiliates and Third Party Service Providers will, implement reasonable and appropriate technical and organisational security measures to protect Client Personal Data that is within its or their custody or control against unauthorised or unlawful Processing and accidental destruction or loss.

7.3

Purpose limitation. The Client hereby authorises and instructs the Custodian to Process Client Personal Data in accordance with these Conditions and to the extent reasonably required for the relevant Permitted Purposes for the period of time reasonably necessary for the relevant Permitted Purposes. The Custodian shall not Process Client Personal Data for any other purpose unless expressly authorised or instructed by the Client.

7.4

International transfer. The Client acknowledges that in the course of the disclosures described in Condition 5 (Authorised disclosures) above, Disclosing Party Personal Data may be disclosed to recipients located in countries which do not offer a level of protection for those data as high as the level of protection in the country in which the Custodian is established or the Client is located.

7.5

Consent and warranty. To the extent that the Client is the Data Subject of Client Personal Data Processed by the Custodian, then the Client consents to the Custodian’s Processing of all of such Client Personal Data as described in Conditions 3 to 7. To the extent that the Custodian Processes Client Personal Data about other Data Subjects (for example, the Client’s personnel or Related Parties), the Client warrants that to the extent required by applicable law or regulation, it has provided notice to and obtained consent from such Data Subjects in relation to the Custodian’s Processing of their Personal Data as described in those Conditions (and will provide such notice or obtain such consent in advance of providing similar information in future). The Client further

Version 04.24.17. (Std/Neg EntrepreneurShares Series Trust, DATE 2017)

warrants that any such consent has been granted by these Data Subjects for the period reasonably required for the realisation of the relevant Permitted Purposes. The parties acknowledge and agree that the above consent may not be required if the Processing is necessary for the performance of obligations resulting from a contract with the Data Subject or imposed by law, or for the purposes of legitimate interests pursued by the Custodian or a person to whom the Client Personal Data are disclosed which are not outweighed by prejudice to the rights, freedoms or legitimate interests of the Data Subjects or (other than where the Custodian is established in Austria, the Czech Republic and/or Slovakia) for the Processing of information relating to persons other than living individuals.

7.6

Employee reliability and training. The Custodian will take reasonable steps to ensure the reliability of its employees who will have access to Client Personal Data and will ensure that those of its employees who are involved in the Processing of Client Personal Data have undergone appropriate training in the care, protection and handling of Personal Data.

7.7

Audit. The Custodian shall provide the Client with such information as is reasonably requested by the Client to enable the Client to satisfy itself of the Custodian’s compliance with its obligations under Condition 7.2 (Confidentiality and security). Nothing in this Condition 7.7 shall have the effect of requiring the Custodian to provide information that may cause it to breach its confidentiality obligations to third parties.

8.	SECURITY INCIDENTS

If the Custodian becomes aware of a Security Incident, the Custodian will investigate and remediate the effects of the Security Incident in accordance with its internal policies and procedures and the requirements of applicable law and regulation. The Custodian will notify the Client of any Security Incident as soon as reasonably practicable after the Custodian becomes aware of a Security Incident, unless the Custodian is subject to a legal or regulatory constraint, or if it would compromise the Custodian’s investigation. The parties agree that where the Custodian has no direct contractual relationship with Data Subjects whose data have been compromised in a Security Incident, the Client will be responsible for making any notifications to regulators and individuals that are required under applicable data protection law or regulation. The Custodian will provide reasonable information and assistance to the Client to help the Client to meet its obligations to Data Subjects and regulators. Neither the Custodian nor the Client will issue press or media statements or comments in connection with the Security Incident that name the other party unless it has obtained the other party’s prior written consent.

9.	DATA PROTECTION: EEA, ISRAEL, JERSEY, MACAU, MOROCCO AND AUSTRALIA - SPECIFIC PROVISIONS

Conditions 9.1- 9.5 apply only where the Custodian is established in the European Economic Area, Israel, Jersey, Macau or Morocco. Condition 9.7 applies only where the Client is located in Australia.

9.1

Withdrawal of consent. Consent to the Processing of Personal Data is voluntary and Data Subjects may withdraw their consent to this Processing. However, if consent is withdrawn and unless the Custodian is entitled to continue the relevant processing without consent, this may prevent the Custodian from providing Accounts and services under the Agreement. Data Subjects may have recourse to the courts in the event that their rights have been infringed.

9.2

Data subject rights. Data Subjects may object, by request and free of charge, to the Processing of Disclosing Party Personal Data relating to them for certain purposes, including direct marketing, and may access and rectify, or request deletion in compliance with local law and the terms herein, of Disclosing Party Personal Data relating to them, and may request not to be subject to an automated decision. More information about the Custodian’s Processing of Client Personal Data, the relevant data protection authority and data processing registrar, if applicable, may be obtained by contacting the Client’s account manager.

Version 04.24.17. (Std/Neg EntrepreneurShares Series Trust, DATE 2017)

9.3

Data processor. If and to the extent that the Custodian’s Processing activities in relation to Client Personal Data cause it to be regarded as a data processor for the Client, the Custodian will act only on the Client’s instructions in relation to such data. Client's instructions are as specified in Condition 7.3.

9.4

Information and assistance. Each party shall provide such information and assistance to the other party as the other party may reasonably require in order to enable the other party to comply with the rights of Data Subjects or with information or enforcement notices served by any data protection authority.

Clients of Custodian establishments in Bulgaria, the Czech Republic, Greece, Hungary, Italy, Luxembourg, Poland, Slovakia and Spain may obtain further information about Custodian Affiliates, the Custodian’s Third Party Service Providers and Payment Infrastructure Providers to whom their Personal Data has been disclosed on request from the Client’s account manager.

9.6	Amendments. The Custodian may amend these Conditions by adding further countries to the lists of countries in Conditions 9 and 9.5. Any such amendments shall take effect within 30 days of the date on which the amended version of these Conditions are made available to the Client.

9.7	Australia. If Client is located in Australia, the Client represents, warrants and covenants that it is a wholesale client within the meaning of sections 761G or 761GA of the Australian Corporation Act.

10.	PROVISION OF DATA FROM VENDORS AND EXCHANGES

The Custodian may provide the Client with pricing and other data licensed from Data Suppliers. The Custodian is licensed to provide such data only upon the following conditions: (i) it may not be used for any purpose independent of the service relationship established under the Agreement, and shall be used only internally (including in custodial holdings reports for actual investments sent to the investments’ beneficial owners and to intermediaries between the Client and the beneficial owners); (ii) the Data Suppliers and their applicable affiliates shall be third-party beneficiaries of this Condition 10; (iii) the Data Suppliers and their applicable affiliates have no liability or responsibility to the Client relating to the Client’s receipt or use of the data; (iv) the Client shall comply with any terms or conditions relating to the use of the data from time to time provided to it by a Data Supplier. In addition to the foregoing, a Data Supplier may specify other terms or limitations applicable to the Client’s use of its data and the Client shall comply with such terms and limitations. A Data Supplier may, in its discretion, (x) direct Custodian to terminate the Client’s receipt of the Data Supplier’s data for any or no reason with or without notice; and (y) require the Client to enter into an agreement with it directly as a condition of receipt of its data.

If a Client which is an investment manager engages a subadvisor to help manage certain of its funds, then, upon consent of the Custodian, such Client may distribute the Data Suppliers’ data to such subadvisor; provided, however, that the use of such data by the subadvisor shall be subject to the provisions set forth in clauses (i)-(iv) of the immediately preceding paragraph.
