Each Customer ID and Password assigned to the Customer is for use only by the Customer. The Customer shall establish and maintain reasonable security and control over all such Customer Ids and Passwords. Transfer Agent shall maintain reasonable security and control over each Customer ID. After Transfer Agent assigns the Customer a Password, the Customer shall change the Password. The Customer recognizes that Transfer Agent does not have knowledge of the Password, which is selected by the Customer and is within the Customer’s exclusive control after the necessary change. The Customer may change any Password thereafter at any time. Customer agrees to notify Transfer Agent immediately if any employee of Customer granted access to the Data Access Service leaves the employ of the Customer, in order to enable Transfer Agent to terminate such employee’s access.

14.4 Proprietary Information.

The Customer acknowledges that the databases, computer programs, screen formats, report formats, interactive design techniques, and documentation manuals furnished to the Customer by the Transfer Agent as part of the Data Access Service to access Shareholder Data maintained by the Transfer Agent on databases under the control and ownership of the Transfer Agent or other third party constitute copyrighted, trade secret, or other proprietary information (collectively, “Proprietary Information”) of substantial value to the Transfer Agent or other third party. In no event shall Proprietary Information be deemed Shareholder Data. The Customer agrees to treat all Proprietary Information as proprietary to the Transfer Agent and further agrees that it shall not divulge any Proprietary Information to any person or organization except as may be

provided hereunder. Without limiting the foregoing, the Customer agrees for itself and its employees and agents:

(a)

to refrain from copying or duplicating in any way the Proprietary Information, other than to print out pages reflecting Shareholder Data to provide to shareholders or for Customer’s internal use;

(b)

to refrain from obtaining unauthorized access to any portion of the Proprietary Information, and if such access is inadvertently obtained, to inform Transfer Agent in a timely manner of such fact and dispose of such information in accordance with Transfer Agent’s instructions;

(c)

to refrain from causing or allowing the Proprietary Information from being retransmitted to any other computer facility or other location, except with the prior written consent of Transfer Agent;

(d)

that the Customer shall have access only to those authorized transactions agreed upon by the parties; and

(e)

to honor all reasonable written requests made by Transfer Agent to protect at Transfer Agent’s expense the rights of Transfer Agent Proprietary Information at common law, under federal copyright law and under other federal or state law.

Each party shall take reasonable efforts to advise its employees of their obligations pursuant to this Section 14.

14.5 Content. If the Customer notifies the Transfer Agent that any part of the Data Access Service does not operate in material compliance with the user documentation provided by the Transfer Agent for such service, the Transfer Agent shall endeavor in a timely manner to correct such failure. Organizations from which the Transfer Agent may obtain certain data included in the Services are solely responsible for the contents of such data and the Customer agrees to make no claim against the Transfer Agent arising out of the contents of such third party data, including, but not limited to, the accuracy thereof.

14.6 Transactions. If the transactions available to the Customer include the ability to originate electronic instructions to the Transfer Agent in order to (i) effect the transfer or movement of Shares or direct EQI to transfer cash or (ii) transmit Shareholder information or other information, then in such event the Transfer Agent shall be entitled to rely on the validity and authenticity of such instructions without undertaking any further inquiry as long as such instructions are undertaken in conformity with security procedures established by the Transfer Agent from time to time.

15.	Confidentiality.

15.1 Covenant. The Transfer Agent and the Customer agree that they will not, at any time during the term of this Agreement or after its termination, reveal, divulge, or make known to any person, firm, corporation or other business organization, any customers’ lists, trade secrets, cost figures and projections, profit figures and projections, or any other secret or confidential information whatsoever, whether of the Transfer Agent or of the Customer, used or gained by the Transfer Agent or the Customer during performance under this Agreement. The Customer and the Transfer Agent further covenant and agree to retain all such knowledge and information acquired during and after the term of this Agreement respecting such lists, trade secrets, or any secret or confidential information whatsoever in trust for the sole benefit of the Transfer Agent or the Customer and their successors and assigns. The above prohibition of disclosure shall not apply to the extent that the Transfer Agent must disclose such data to its sub-contractor or agent for purposes of providing services under this Agreement.

15.2 Request for Records. In the event that any requests or demands are made for the inspection of the Shareholder records of the Customer, other than request for records of Shareholders pursuant to standard subpoenas from state or federal government authorities (e.g., in divorce and criminal actions), the Transfer Agent will endeavor to notify the Customer and to secure instructions from an authorized officer of the Customer as to such inspection. The Transfer Agent expressly reserves the right, however, to exhibit the Shareholder records to any person whenever it is advised by counsel that it may be held liable for the failure to exhibit the Shareholder records to such person or if required by law or court order.

In connection with the foregoing, should Services be converted to a successor service provider, or if the Customer is liquidated or its assets merged or purchased or the like with another entity which does not utilize the

services of the Transfer Agent, Transfer Agent shall be entitled to receive all reasonable and demonstrable out-of-pocket expenses or costs associated with the conversion of the Services. Section 16.2 shall not apply if the Transfer Agent is terminated for cause under Sectarian 16.4(a) of this Agreement.

16.3 Expiration of Term.
