Worked example:

If Average AUM for the month of January 2017 is $10 million, the Fees for January 2017 will be $3000 divided by twelve months which equals $250 plus any of the fees and charges referred to below

The Client shall also pay to the Custodian each month (which shall be added to the Fees):

(a)

all bank charges and fees paid or payable in respect of the operation and maintenance of the Bank Account;

(b)

(c)

all other out pf pocket fees, expenses or disbursements incurred or paid by the Custodian in providing the services set out in this agreement.

Schedule 2 - Event Notifications

The Custodian shall monitor and notify the Client of any material change in following risks associated with maintaining assets with the Bermuda Securities Depository:

Book Entry Securities– Securities which are deposited with the Bermuda Securities Depository (“BSD System”) are treated as fungible and can thus be transferred or pledged by electronic book-keeping entry without any requirement for physical delivery of any instrument of title to the same securities. Securities in the BSD system can be transferred from account to account by book entry movement. Such transfers may arise from trades on the BSX, voluntary conveyances or changes in the relationship between an investor and the participant. In addition, securities can be ‘frozen’ as a result of a pledge instruction. In this case the securities will not be released until the BSD receives a release request from the pledgee. Securities within the system can also be borrowed and returned by an automated book entry transfer procedure.

The Custodian shall monitor and promptly notify the Client of any changes in case the securities the Client holds with the Custodian will no longer be able to be considered fungible therefore they will not be able to be transferred or pledged by bookkeeping entry without physical delivery of the securities.

Central handling system of securities or equivalent book-entries– the Bermuda Securities depository is legally capable and regularly licensed to act as a custodian and foreign securities depository, with the full capacity to offer such services to US Investors as it is recognized by the SEC as a “Designated offshore securities market” , as defined herein by the SEC: ▇▇▇▇▇://▇▇▇.▇▇▇.▇▇▇/▇▇▇▇▇/▇▇▇▇▇/▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇.

The Bermuda Securities depository keeps shareholder registers and operates a book-entry transfer system for the Bermuda Stock Exchange listed securities and other admitted securities. The securities can be classified under any of the following broad categories:- 1- Share/Equity securities 2-Government Treasury Issued Bonds 3-Corporate Bonds 4-Units in collective schemes 5- Structured Debt instruments 6-Money market instruments 7-Insurance Linked Securities 8- Other Instruments.

The Custodian shall monitor and promptly notify the Client of any changes in case the securities the Client presently holds with the Custodian will no longer be able to be considered to be cleared and settled under a Central handling system of securities or equivalent book-entries.

Foreign Financial Regulatory and Periodic examination by regulatory authority or independent Accountants– The Bermuda Securities Depository (“BSD”) operates as a facility of the BSX. The operation and rules of the BSD are therefore regulated by the Bermuda Monitory Authority (“BMA”) in the same way as all other BSX activities. The BMA has approved the BSD rules and associated changes to the BSX rules and it is recognized by the SEC as a “Designated offshore securities market”, as defined herein by the SEC: ▇▇▇▇▇://▇▇▇.▇▇▇.▇▇▇/▇▇▇▇▇/▇▇▇▇▇/▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇.

The Custodian shall monitor and promptly notify the Client of any changes to the BSX Rules in case the securities the Client presently holds with the Custodian will no longer be able to be regulated by the Bermuda Monitory Authority (“BMA”) and an Independent Auditor.

Safekeeping conditions for the Client are no less favorable than the conditions that apply to other participants– The Bermuda Securities Depository (“BSD”) Safekeeping conditions the Client are no less favorable than the conditions that apply to other participants.

The Custodian shall monitor and promptly notify the Client of any changes in case the securities the Client presently holds with the Custodian will be under less favorable Safekeeping conditions than the conditions that apply to other participants.

Periodic reports to its participants with respect to its safekeeping of assets, including notices of transfers to or from any participant's account– The Bermuda Securities Depository (“BSD”) system provides a wide variety of reports from which a participant can choose to display participant and account activities, balances, inventory and other data. The Custodian shall monitor and promptly notify the Client of any changes in case the securities the Client presently holds with the Custodian will no longer be able to provide periodic reports to the Client with respect to its safekeeping of assets, including notices of transfers to or from any participant's account.

Maintains records that identify the assets of each participant and segregate the system's own assets from the assets of participants - Investors hold their securities in BSD through a participant. Participants may open as many accounts as they wish. This enables participants to operate an exclusive account for an individual person or institution. Alternatively, participants may operate omnibus accounts on behalf of a wide range of investors. However, participants must segregate securities held on their own behalf from securities held for their customers and must also separate securities held for Bermudian investors from those held for non- Bermudians.

The Custodian shall monitor and promptly notify the Client of any changes in case the securities the Client presently holds with the Custodian will not be able to be maintained under records that identify the assets of the Client and segregate the system's and Participant’s own assets from the assets of the Client.
