Custody Agreement Professional Clients

Client Categorisation

Based on the information available to it, GS has categorised You as a Professional Client.

You have the right to request in writing a different client categorisation where permitted by Applicable Law.

If You request to be categorised as an Eligible Counterparty and GS agrees, You will lose the protection afforded by certain Applicable Law, including (a) the requirement for GS to act in accordance with your best interests; (b) the restrictions on the payment or receipt by GS of any inducements; (c) the obligation on GS to achieve Best Execution in respect of your orders; (d) the requirement to implement arrangements which provide for the prompt, fair and expeditious execution of your orders; and (e) the requirement to assess the appropriateness of products and services proposed or provided to you.

If You request to be categorised as a Retail Client, thereby requiring additional protections under Applicable Law, GS will not be able to provide Services to you through its ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ FICC and Equities or Global Investment Research business units.

You agree and acknowledge that you are responsible for keeping GS informed about any change that could affect your categorisation as a Professional Client.

Where You are an investment manager, investment adviser or otherwise act as agent on behalf of Underlying Clients, and GS agrees to deal with You in this capacity, GS shall treat You alone (and not Your Underlying Client(s)) as its client for the purpose of GS’ client-facing duties and obligations under Applicable Law. All contractual rights and obligations arising under the Agreement and any Transactions concluded under the Agreement shall be rights and obligations arising between GS and the Underlying Client (and not you), except where explicitly stated otherwise and in relation to those rights and obligations arising specifically out of GS’ client-facing duties under Applicable Law.

As You are categorised as a Professional Client, GS is (a) not required to assess appropriateness for non-complex Financial Instruments, as defined under MiFID II, or Services provided at Your initiative; and (b) entitled to assume that the Services provided to and/or Transactions executed under the Agreement are appropriate (c) not required to comply with costs and charges disclosure requirements (except with regard to the services of investment advice and portfolio management, and (d) not required to provide you with certain mandatory service reports (including transaction reports, periodic reports for portfolio management services and client asset statements). In such cases, you acknowledge that You will not benefit from certain conduct of business obligations You may otherwise benefit from.

Scope of Services

Except where expressly agreed in writing, you shall not rely upon GS for the provision of tax, accounting or legal advice, and GS shall not provide you with any personal recommendations (as that term is defined in MiFID II) under the Agreement.

Nothing shall give rise to any fiduciary or equitable duties on GS’ part which would oblige GS (or any of its Affiliates and Connected Persons) to accept responsibilities more extensive than set out in the Agreement or which would prevent or hinder GS (or any of its Affiliates and Connected Persons) in carrying out any of the activities under the Agreement.

GS may provide Services with or through its Affiliates. All rights conferred on GS under the Agreement shall also apply severally to (a) Affiliates of GS, the partners, directors, officers, employees and agents of GS, in each case whether present or future; (b) the partners, directors, officers, employees and agents of any Affiliate of GS, in each case whether present or future; (c) any person controlled by or controlling GS, in each case whether present or future; and (d) any applicable third party providing GS with any services and Clause 18 of this Part A (General Conditions) shall apply accordingly. You (and Your Underlying Client, where applicable) also authorise GS to use the services of third parties in its provision of Services without your further consent and on such terms as GS may determine and without a diminution of GS’ rights. In respect of Transactions with or through such third parties, you may be subject to the business terms and conditions of those third parties.

GS may refer you to the services of (and may introduce you to) any person (which may include Affiliates of GS or other persons connected with GS), some of which may not be regulated and are therefore not subject to Applicable Law for the protection of investors.

Capacity

Except where You have identified that you are acting as agent on behalf of an Underlying Client, GS will assume that You are contracting with GS as principal in relation to the Agreement and the Transactions to which the Agreement applies unless You notify GS to the contrary. Where You are acting under the Agreement as agent on behalf of an Underlying Client, Your Underlying Client, and not You, will be the principal to any Transactions arising.

If You wish to contract as agent in relation to certain Transactions and as principal in relation to others, then You must enter into a separate agreement in relation to each capacity and establish separate Accounts. You must not allocate Transactions in relation to which You are acting in different capacities to the same Account.

Instructions and Other Communications

You (or Your Underlying Client, where applicable) authorise GS and its Affiliates to rely on any instructions given to GS by persons who GS reasonably believes to be acting with authority on your behalf. It is solely Your responsibility to ensure that any of Your employees and/or representatives that provide instructions to GS have the authority to do so. GS shall be under no obligation to monitor whether a particular employee or representative is duly authorised, and shall be under no obligation to either accept or refer to any lists of persons authorised to provide instructions on your behalf which You may purport to deliver to GS. GS shall be under no duty to make any investigation or inquiry as to any statement contained in any instruction from or document signed by any person who GS reasonably believes to be acting with authority on Your behalf, and may accept the same as conclusive evidence of the truth and accuracy of the statements therein contained.

Instructions given by You or on your behalf to GS shall be given in the form as GS and You shall from time to time agree. You agree that GS may designate the manner in which You must send different types of communications (including trading instructions and changes to Your contact information) to GS and the addresses to be used for that purpose. GS need not act upon any communications that are transmitted in a manner that is inconsistent with these designations. The language of communication between GS and You shall be English and You will continue to receive documents and other information from GS in English, except in such circumstances as may be notified to You by GS.

Instructions given by You or on Your behalf to GS shall be effective only on actual receipt by GS. GS shall be under no obligation to communicate its acknowledgement of receipt to You.

From time to time, GS may be required under Applicable Law to provide You with certain information in a “durable medium” and may wish to do so in a durable medium other than on paper. Where your consent to such arrangements is required by Applicable Law, you agree that GS may provide this information to You by means of a durable medium that is not paper including, without limitation, via a client portal accessible through a secure login (the details of which GS may notify to You from time to time), PDF document or email that is personally addressed to You.

GS may also provide certain information required under Applicable Law that is not personally addressed to You by means of a website. Where your consent to such arrangements is required by Applicable Law, You specifically consent to GS providing this information by posting it on GS’ website at ▇▇▇▇://▇▇▇.▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇/▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇/▇▇▇▇▇ (or any other website as GS may from time to time notify to you).

general information about GS and our services;

information about the nature and risks of certain Financial Instruments;

information concerning the safeguarding of Financial Instruments and holding of Client Money by GS;

information on costs and associated charges; and

information about GS’ Execution Policy.

Material Interests/Connected Persons

You (and Your Underlying Client, where applicable) acknowledge that GS and persons connected with GS provide diversified financial services to a broad range of clients and counterparties and circumstances may arise in which GS, its Affiliates or a Connected Person may have a material interest in a transaction with or for you, or where a conflict of interest may arise between your interests and those of other clients or counterparties or of GS. GS will take reasonable steps to ensure that you are treated fairly in circumstances where it has a material interest or conflict of interests. GS may also decline to act in such circumstances. GS has established a conflicts of interest policy (a summary of which is available on GS’ website at ▇▇▇▇://▇▇▇.▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇/▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇/▇▇▇▇▇) and implemented procedures and arrangements to identify and manage such conflicts.

GS is under no obligation to disclose that GS, its Affiliates or a Connected Person has a material interest in a particular transaction with or for you and/or that a conflict of interest or duty may exist, where GS has managed such conflicts to ensure, with reasonable confidence, that risks of damage to your interests will be prevented. Subject to any of GS’ regulatory obligations, GS is under no obligation to account to you for any profit, commission or remuneration made or received from or by reason of transactions or circumstances in which GS, any of its Affiliates or a Connected Person has a material interest or where in particular circumstances a conflict of interest or duty may exist.

If this is the case, please contact Your usual GS representative.

You agree that GS may receive from, or pay to, third parties (including Affiliates) fees, commissions or other non-monetary benefits and may share charges in respect of the Services provided to you with third parties (including Affiliates) when it is satisfied that the payment or benefit is designed to enhance the quality of the Services and it does not impair the compliance of GS with its duty to act honestly, fairly and professionally in accordance with Your best interest. In particular, from time to time GS may receive from or provide to third parties, the services and benefits set out in Clause 7.1 above, as well as other services and benefits that can be considered minor non-monetary benefits under Applicable Law from time to time. The Services provided under these Terms do not include independent investment advice or portfolio management in accordance with Applicable Law.

any Event of Default in relation to You shall constitute an Event of Default in relation to each of Your Underlying Clients (each, for the purposes of this Clause 13, a “Relevant Underlying Client”), except where that Underlying Client:

Set-Off

On the occurrence of an Event of Default or an event of default, termination event or other similar event under any other agreement between you and GS or its Affiliates (including any OTC derivative documentation), then, GS or its Affiliates shall be entitled to set off any obligation (whether matured or unmatured (in which case such obligation may in good faith be estimated, subject to a proper accounting when the obligation is ascertained), whether or not contingent and regardless of the currency, place of payment or booking office of the obligation) owed by you to GS or its Affiliates under the Agreement or any other agreement between you and GS or its Affiliates against their obligations to you, and GS or its Affiliates will be entitled to exercise any lien, charge or power of sale pursuant to any agreement between you and GS or its Affiliates against such obligations. For the purposes of cross-currency set-off, GS may convert an obligation in one currency to another currency at a market rate reasonably determined by it.

In relation to the effective declaration of any termination event or other similar event in accordance with any agreement between you and GS or its Affiliates, any grace periods contained in such other agreement shall not apply. On the occurrence of an Event of Default under the Agreement or an event of default, termination event or other similar event under any other agreement between you and GS or its Affiliates, you shall only be entitled to receive or require the return of Equivalent Collateral or receive any net payment under this Clause 14.3 with the prior consent of GS or in circumstances where the Agreement has been terminated where all Liabilities have been satisfied in full.    

Severability

Waiver and Modification/Amendment

You agree that GS may materially change the terms of the Agreement (including the nature, basis or amount of any of the fees or charges you pay) by giving you notice of the new terms. Except as otherwise required by Applicable Law, GS will give you at least ten (10) Business Days’ notice of any change before conducting investment business with or for you on the amended terms unless it is impracticable in the circumstances to do so.

Except as specifically permitted in the Agreement, no provision of the Agreement shall be deemed waived, altered, modified or amended unless agreed to in writing by GS. The failure of GS to insist on strict compliance with the Agreement or any other course of conduct on the part of GS will not be deemed a waiver of the rights of GS under the Agreement.

The Agreement may not be amended or modified in any manner except by written agreement of the parties subject to Clause 16.1 above.

Successors and Assigns

The parties agree that the Agreement shall extend to and be binding upon the parties to the Agreement, and their respective successors and assigns.

Neither the Agreement nor any rights, powers, liabilities or obligations under or pursuant to the Agreement may be transferred or assigned by you or GS without the prior consent of the other party, which consent may not be arbitrarily withheld or delayed. GS may, upon the despatch of written notice to you or publication in the Financial Times or other newspaper of general circulation of a notice recording the same, transfer to an Affiliate any or all of its rights, powers, liabilities and obligations under or pursuant to the Agreement. Upon the despatch of such notice, such Affiliate shall acquire the transferred rights and liabilities as it would have acquired and assumed them had it been an original party to the Agreement in substitution for GS. You and GS shall be released from further obligations towards one another in relation to the transferred rights and liabilities. You and the Affiliate shall assume obligations towards one another and/or acquire rights against one another which differ from those discharged only insofar as you and the Affiliate have assumed and/or acquired the same in your and GS’ place. The Affiliate shall have the right to appoint third party service providers for performance of the Agreement subject to Clause 9.3 above. The provisions of this Clause 17 shall override any contrary provisions in the Agreement, express or implied.

Rights of Third Parties

Any Third Party Beneficiary may enforce and rely on any term of the Agreement conferring a benefit on it to the same extent as if it were a party to the Agreement.

In any proceedings brought by any Third Party Beneficiary in connection with the Agreement you may rely on any defence, right of set-off or counterclaim arising from or in connection with the Agreement or which would have applied if such a Third Party Beneficiary had been a party to the Agreement.

Even though the Agreement confers benefits on Third Party Beneficiaries, the parties shall remain free to terminate or vary any of its terms without the consent of any Third Party Beneficiary.

Any rights in connection with the Agreement arising

Save as aforesaid, a person who is not a party to the Agreement or a permitted assignee of rights under it may not enforce any of its terms or rely on any exclusion of limitation contained in it whether under the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 or otherwise.

This means that certain types of claimants, such as large companies and partnerships, certain types of authorised firms, collective investment schemes, certain pension and retirement funds, supranational institutions, governments, and central administrative authorities, provincial, regional, local and municipal authorities, alternative investment funds (and managers or depositaries of such funds) and large mutual associations (among others), will not be eligible.    

Payments to eligible claimants under the Financial Services Compensation Scheme will vary depending on the type of protected claim the claimants hold with respect to the relevant institution. Payments under the Financial Services Compensation Scheme in respect of designated investments business (as defined in the FCA Handbook) are subject to a maximum payment to any eligible investor of GBP 50,000 per institution. Further details of the Financial Services Compensation Scheme are available on request or at the Financial Services Compensation Scheme’s official website at ▇▇▇.▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇.▇▇.

Termination

GS or you may terminate the Agreement at any time upon thirty (30) days receipt of written notice unless expressly agreed with you to the contrary in respect of specific instructions, provided that you shall

GS has the right to terminate (temporarily or permanently, with or without cause or prior notice) all or any part of any Service, or your access to such Service, or to change the nature, composition or availability of any Service. You have the right to terminate all or any part of any Service at any time upon giving written notice to GS effective thirty (30) days from receipt of such notice by GS. The provision of Services may also be terminated by either party immediately if there is a breach or threatened breach of the Agreement by the other party. You acknowledge that termination of all or any part of any Service will not affect accrued rights, existing commitments or any contractual provisions in respect of such Service intended to survive termination and the terms of the Agreement will remain in effect with respect to all Transactions executed pursuant to the Agreement.

Where You are acting as agent on behalf of more than one Underlying Client, the Agreement may be terminated in relation to any Underlying Client pursuant to this Clause 21 without affecting the continuation of the Agreement in relation to You and any other Underlying Client on whose behalf You act.

The Agreement, including, without limitation, the existence and validity of its terms, its formal validity and any non-contractual or other obligations arising out of or in connection with it, shall be governed by, and, as appropriate, construed in accordance with, English law. Except where an election to arbitrate is made pursuant to Clause 22.5 below, You (and Your Underlying Client, where applicable) and GS irrevocably submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the English courts, including in relation to any suit, action, proceeding, controversy or dispute arising out of, or in connection with, the Agreement, regarding its existence, validity or termination (including this Clause 22) or relating to any non-contractual or other obligation arising out of, or in connection with it, or the consequences of its nullity (“Proceedings”). You (and Your Underlying Client, where applicable) and GS agree in respect of all Accounts maintained by GS that the law applicable to all the issues specified in Article 2(1) of the Hague Convention on the “Law Applicable to Certain Rights in Respect of Securities Held with an Intermediary” is English law.

You (and Your Underlying Client, where applicable) and GS agree that the courts of England are the most appropriate and convenient courts to settle any Proceedings.

You (and Your Underlying Client, where applicable) will irrevocably appoint a person or entity in England as your agent for service of process and will promptly notify GS in writing of such appointment. If such person or entity is not, or ceases to be, effectively so appointed you shall, on the written demand of GS, appoint a further person or entity in England to accept service of process on your behalf and, failing such appointment within 14 days, GS

If GS is required to serve process on you in connection with any Proceedings, you agree to (a) cooperate with GS, its agents or employees, in the service of such process; and (b) indemnify in full and hold GS harmless from any and all costs and expenses (including any losses, costs and expenses incurred by GS, its agents or employees by reason of any delay in the service of process) as a result, whether directly or indirectly, of your failure to appoint an agent for service of process hereunder. This Clause 22.4 applies to Proceedings in England and elsewhere.

At the option of either you or GS (such option to be exercised before submitting to the English courts’ jurisdiction either by commencing an arbitration or by sending a written notice to the other party), any Proceedings shall be referred to and finally resolved by arbitration in London, England (such that both the seat and legal place of the arbitration shall be London, England) and conducted in English by three arbitrators pursuant to the LCIA Arbitration Rules (the “LCIA Rules”) (which are incorporated by reference into this Clause 22.5) save that, unless the parties agree otherwise:

the Claimant and Respondent (both as defined in the LCIA Rules) will each nominate one arbitrator. The third arbitrator, who shall act as chairman of the tribunal, shall be nominated by the other two arbitrators. If the third arbitrator is not so nominated within thirty (30) days of the date of nomination of the later of the two party-nominated arbitrators, the third arbitrator shall be appointed by the LCIA Court. The parties may nominate and the LCIA Court may appoint arbitrators from among the nationals of any country, whether or not a party is a national of that country; and

neither party shall be required to give general discovery of documents, but may be required only to produce specific, identified documents, which are relevant to the dispute.

ERISA

U.S. QFC Stay Rules

Recognition of the U.S. Special Resolution Regimes

In the event that GS becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer from GS of the Agreement, and any interest and obligation in or under, and any property securing, the Agreement, will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Agreement, and any interest and obligation in or under, and any property securing, the Agreement were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States.

In the event that GS or a Covered Affiliate becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, any Default Rights under the Agreement that may be exercised against GS are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Agreement were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States.

Limitation on Exercise of Certain Default Rights Related to a BHC Affiliate’s Entry Into Insolvency Proceedings

You (and Your Underlying Client, where applicable) shall not be permitted to exercise any Default Right with respect to the Agreement that is related, directly or indirectly, to a Covered Affiliate of GS becoming subject to an Insolvency Proceeding, except to the extent that the exercise of such Default Right would be permitted under the creditor protection provisions of 12 C.F.R. 252.84, 12 C.F.R. 47.5 or 12 C.F.R. 382.4, as applicable; and

Nothing in the Agreement shall prohibit the transfer of any Covered Affiliate Credit Enhancement, any interest or obligation in or under such Covered Affiliate Credit Enhancement, or any property securing such Covered Affiliate Credit Enhancement to a transferee upon or following a Covered Affiliate of GS becoming subject to an Insolvency Proceeding, unless the transfer would result in you being the beneficiary of such Covered Affiliate Credit Enhancement in violation of any law applicable to you.

ISDA U.S. Protocol or Bilateral Agreement

If you have previously adhered to the ISDA U.S. Protocol, the terms of the ISDA U.S. Protocol shall be incorporated into and form a part of the Agreement and shall replace the terms of Clauses 24.1 and 24.2. For the purpose of incorporating the ISDA U.S. Protocol, GS shall be deemed to be a Regulated Entity, you shall be deemed to be an Adhering Party, and the Agreement shall be deemed to be a Protocol Covered Agreement. If you have previously executed a bilateral agreement the effect of which is to amend one or more QFCs between us in a manner consistent with the QFC Stay Rules (the “Bilateral Agreement”), the terms of the Bilateral Agreement shall be incorporated into and form a part of the Agreement and shall replace the terms of Clauses 24.1 and 24.2. For the purpose of incorporating the Bilateral Agreement, each party shall be deemed to have the status of “Covered Entity” or “Counterparty Entity” (or other similar term) as applicable to it under the Bilateral Agreement, and the Agreement shall be deemed to be a Covered Agreement.

If you adhere to the ISDA U.S. Protocol after the date of this amendment the terms of the ISDA U.S. Protocol will supersede and replace the terms of Clauses 24.1 and 24.2.

If agreed between you and GS, GS shall act as Custodian for Custody Assets which GS may receive from you or receive or hold for your account. Subject to the following provisions of this Part B (Custody Services) and the Agreement generally, GS shall comply with any of your instructions to deliver Custody Assets to you or a third party.

All Custody Assets which GS receives from you shall be held subject to the FCA Rules and any equivalent rules implemented in accordance with MiFID II and in accordance with this Part B (Custody Services), unless:

pursuant to the terms of the Agreement or any other agreement, GS has exercised its rights to at any time to borrow, lend, pledge, charge, rehypothecate, dispose of or otherwise use for its own purposes any such Custody Assets and in exercising such rights full ownership of such Custody Assets has transferred to GS; or

GS has agreed with you under the Agreement or any other agreement that ownership of Custody Assets (including Margin) passes to GS (including under a financial collateral arrangement) for the purposes of securing or otherwise covering present, future, actual or contingent or prospective obligations.

In circumstances where the rights or agreements described in Clauses 2.1 and 2.2 above are applicable, Custody Assets that GS receives from you or holds for you or on your behalf will not be held as Custody Assets in accordance with this Part B (Custody Services) and consequently shall not be subject to the protections of the FCA Rules and any equivalent rules implemented in accordance with MiFID II. An effect of this is that such assets will not be segregated from the assets of GS and will be used by GS in the course of its business and you will rank as a general creditor of GS with respect to any obligations to return such Custody Assets.

In clearing and settling Transactions for the Account, Custody Assets shall likely be pooled with GS’ own investments and those of other clients. As a result certain Custody Assets may be used by GS for GS’ own account, or for the accounts of other clients, without prejudice to GS’ obligation to you in Clauses 1 and 2 of Section 1 of this Part B (Custody Services) above. You (or Your Underlying Client, where applicable) consent to the use of your Custody Assets in this way.

GS may hold Custody Assets for any or all of GS’ clients (including you) with third parties including Sub-Custodians, nominees and settlement systems,

In the event of an insolvency, or other analogous proceeding in relation to a third party including any Sub-Custodian, nominee or settlement system with whom GS holds Custody Assets, you will be exposed to the risk that you and any other GS clients for whom GS holds Custody Assets with such third party, including any Sub-Custodian, nominee or settlement system, will share pro rata in any shortfall (as defined in clause 10 of Section 1 of Part B (Custody Services) below) of Custody Assets. Save where expressly agreed in the Agreement or where otherwise required under the FCA Rules or any equivalent rules implemented in accordance with MiFID II, GS has no responsibility for any insolvency, acts or omissions of any third party with whom GS may hold Custody Assets. In some jurisdictions it may not be possible to identify separately Custody Assets which a third party holds for GS’ clients from those which that third party holds for itself or for GS, and there is a risk that Custody Assets could be withdrawn or used to meet the obligations of the third party, or lost altogether if the third party becomes insolvent.

In the event of the insolvency, or any other analogous proceedings, in relation to a third party with whom GS holds Custody Assets for you, except as expressly agreed in the Agreement or where otherwise required under the FCA Rules or any equivalent rules implemented in accordance with MiFID II, GS will have no liability for such third party

Where any of your Custody Assets are held with a third party (including a depository), such third party (or any person to whom the holding of your Custody Assets is delegated) may have a security interest, lien, right of set-off, or similar rights over your Custody Assets, to the extent permitted by FCA Rules and any equivalent rules implemented in accordance with MiFID II. Where your Custody Assets are held by a third party (or any person to whom the holding of your Custody Assets is delegated), and such third party or other person has a security interest, lien, right of set-off, or similar rights over your Custody Assets, you are exposed to the risk that such third party or other person may exercise such rights over your Custody Assets and reduce the amount of your Custody Assets even where you have not breached any of your obligations under this Agreement. You (or Your Underlying Client, where applicable) agree to such persons having such a security interest, lien or right of set-off over your Custody Assets.

If at any time the amount of Custody Assets held by GS (including with Sub-Custodians) for any or all of its clients (including you) is, for whatever reason, less than the aggregate amount of such Custody Assets identified in the books and records of GS as being held for its clients (including the amount of such assets identified in the books and records of GS as Custody Assets held for you) (a “shortfall”) GS will, until such shortfall is resolved:

hold its own assets or money (or a combination thereof) for your benefit under the FCA Rules which, in aggregate, cover the value of the shortfall; and

to the extent that any assets or money (or a combination thereof) are held in respect of a shortfall, prior to the resolution of such shortfall you shall (in the event that GS is liable to you in respect of the shortfall, and the insolvency of, or analogous event affecting, GS occurs before GS meets such liability) have a corresponding proportionate claim to such assets or money GS holds in respect of such liability, notwithstanding and without prejudice to the election you have made in respect of Client Money in connection with this Agreement.

If such shortfall is reconciled or otherwise eliminated, or GS determines that it is not liable for such shortfall in accordance with this Agreement, GS may cease to hold such assets or money (or a combination thereof) for your benefit.

GS may arrange for your Custody Assets to be held outside the UK or EEA (including at your written request, or when the nature of Custody Assets or of the other services provided to you connected with those Custody Assets requires them to be so held, with a third party located in a jurisdiction outside of the UK or EEA, and where such jurisdiction does not regulate the holding and safekeeping of financial instruments for the account of another person). In

Registration of Custody Assets

Realisation of Assets

Dividends, Interest and other Entitlements

GS is authorised to withdraw Custody Assets sold or otherwise disposed of, and to credit the Account with the proceeds thereof, or make such other disposition thereof as you may direct. GS is authorised to receive all income and other payments which may become due on your Custody Assets, to surrender for payment maturing obligations and those called for redemption and to exchange certificates in temporary form for like certificates in definitive form, or, if the par value of any shares is changed, to effect the exchange for new certificates. When GS holds on your behalf bonds or preferred stocks which are callable in part by the issuer, such Custody Assets shall be subject to (at GS’ sole and absolute discretion) either a pro rata allocation or GS’ impartial lottery allocation system in which the probability of your Custody Assets being selected as called is proportional to the holdings of all clients of investments of the same type held in bulk by or for GS. GS shall withdraw such Custody Assets from any depository prior to the first date on which such Custody Assets may be called unless such depository has adopted an impartial lottery system which is applicable to all participants. You (or Your Underlying Client, where applicable) may withdraw uncalled Custody Assets prior to a partial call subject to compliance with applicable margin requirements and the terms of any agreements between GS and you.

GS agrees that when income is paid by or on behalf of an issuer in relation to any investments which constitute Collateral or Margin or which GS has used pursuant to Section 3 of this Part B (Custody Services), GS shall, on the date of payment of such income, pay and deliver a sum of money or property Equivalent to such income to the Account, irrespective of whether such income was received by GS.

You (and Your Underlying Client, where applicable) acknowledge and agree that GS does not guarantee the performance by issuers or any other third parties of their obligations with respect to any asset servicing or corporate action events related to the Assets. Accordingly, although GS may in its sole and absolute discretion, provisionally credit or debit the Account as a consequence of or in anticipation of the successful completion of an asset servicing or corporate action event related to the Assets, any credit or debit is conditional and may, in GS’ sole and absolute discretion, be: (i) revised to correct for any adjustment, delays, miscalculations and other errors GS becomes aware of; or (ii) reversed if any asset servicing or corporate action fails to complete for any reason.

Voting and Other Rights

You (or Your Underlying Client, where applicable) are responsible for providing instructions to GS for the exercise of rights and/or performance of all actions which may be exercisable in relation to any Custody Assets held or that were held in the Account, including without limitation the right to vote, tender, exchange, endorse, transfer, or deliver any investments in the Account to participate in or consent to any class action, distribution, plan of reorganisation, creditors committee, merger, combination, consolidation, liquidation, underwriting, or similar plan with reference to such investments. In the absence of instructions from you, GS will refrain from exercising such rights or performing such actions.

Where corporate events (such as partial redemptions) affect some but not all of the investments (including Custody Assets) held in a pooled account for clients of GS, GS shall allocate the consequences of such events to particular clients in such fair and equitable manner as GS considers appropriate (including without limitation a pro rata allocation or an impartial lottery).

GS shall on receipt of any notice or documentation relating to Custody Assets, use its reasonable efforts to forward the same to you or deal with the same in accordance with the directions given by you from time to time.

Liability for Custody Services

Without prejudice to Clause 10 of Part A, and in accordance with Clauses 7 and 8 of Section 1 of Part B (Custody Services), in acting as Custodian or nominee, GS will only be liable for Losses suffered by you as a direct result of GS’ negligence, fraud or wilful default in the appointment and monitoring of any Unaffiliated Custodian, Unaffiliated Sub-Custodian or nominee. GS accepts the same level of responsibility for companies controlled by GS (or by any Affiliate) whose business consists solely of acting as a nominee holder of investments or other property in respect of any requirements of Applicable Law, as it does for itself.

In the case of any action or omission which you consider to involve the negligence, fraud or wilful

GS may at any time hold Client Money for you or on your behalf where required under the FCA Rules and any equivalent rules implemented in accordance with MiFID II.

All money that GS receives from you or holds for or on your behalf is Client Money and shall be held as Client Money subject to the client money rules contained in the FCA Rules and any equivalent rules implemented in accordance with MiFID II and in accordance with this Part B (Custody Services), unless:

pursuant to the terms of the Agreement or any other agreement, GS has exercised its rights to at any time borrow, lend, pledge, charge, rehypothecate, dispose of or otherwise use for its own purposes any such money and in exercising such rights full ownership of such money has transferred to GS; or

GS has agreed with you under the Agreement or under any other agreement that ownership of money (including Collateral) passes to GS (including under a financial collateral arrangement) for the purposes of securing or otherwise covering present, future, actual or contingent or prospective obligations.

You agree (or, Your Underlying Client, where applicable agrees that any Client Money shall be subject to the Security Interest.

Your Client Money (or the Client Money of Your Underlying Client, where applicable) may be held by GS with: (i) a central bank, a credit institution

You (or, where applicable, Your Underlying Client) agree and expressly consent that GS may at any time borrow, lend, pledge, charge, rehypothecate, dispose of or otherwise, on such terms as GS shall notify to you from time to time, use for its own purposes any Assets which are for the time being subject to the Security Interest without giving notice of such borrowing, lending, pledge, charge, rehypothecation, disposal or other use to you. GS may retain for its own account all fees, profits and other benefits received in connection with any such borrowing, loan or use. Upon: (i) a borrowing, lending or similar use, such Assets will become the absolute property of GS (or that of its transferee) free from the Security Interest and from any equity, right or title of yours; and (ii) a charge, pledge or rehypothecation of any Assets, such Assets, including your interest in those Assets, will be subject to the charge or other security interest created by such charge, pledge or rehypothecation. Subject to Clause 1.9 of Section 4 of this Part B (Custody Services), upon any such use by GS, you will have a right against GS for the delivery of Equivalent assets, in accordance with this Agreement or any separate terms agreed between you and GS. GS may deliver, in accordance with this Agreement or any separate terms agreed between you and GS, Equivalent assets to you by causing such Equivalent assets to be transferred, appropriated or designated to the relevant Account. Such Equivalent assets, will upon such transfer, appropriation or designation by GS, become Assets, subject to the provisions of this Agreement, including the Security Interest set out in Clause 1 of Section 4 of Part B (Custody Services) below.

If GS is required to settle a delivery of Custody Assets on your behalf but on the relevant settlement date there are, or GS considers that there will be, insufficient Custody Assets available, GS may:

if it is reasonably practicable to do so, delay settlement until sufficient Custody Assets are available for delivery; or

arrange for a loan (by GS or a third party) to you of appropriate securities to enable such settlement to occur. Any loan of securities shall be documented on market standard documentation, and shall involve the transfer of collateral on your behalf to the lender, which you authorise GS to negotiate and execute on your behalf.

Where GS (i) exercises its rights to borrow, lend, pledge, charge, rehypothecate, dispose of or otherwise use for its own purposes any Assets subject to the terms of the Agreement and in exercising such rights full ownership of such Assets transfers to GS; or (ii) takes full title or ownership of money and other assets (including under a financial collateral arrangement) for the purposes of securing or otherwise covering present, future, actual or contingent or prospective, it shall do so subject to the applicable requirements of FCA Rules and any equivalent rules implemented in accordance with MiFID II, including any requirement to consider the appropriateness of such arrangement.

From time to time, where GS determines, pursuant to FCA Rules and any equivalent rules implemented in accordance with MiFID II, that it is no longer appropriate for GS to continue to hold or receive all or part of any cash or non-cash assets pursuant to a title transfer collateral arrangement under the terms

The risks involved with and the effect of GS having received any Title Transfer Collateral are highlighted in information posted on GS’ website pursuant to Clause 5.5 of Part A (General Conditions).

Security Interest

As continuing security for the payment and discharge of all obligations and Liabilities, you hereby charge, by way of first fixed charge in favour of GS and its Affiliates, with full title guarantee and free from any adverse interest, all right, title to and interest in Assets held by GS on your behalf, and all of your rights, title or interest in, to or under any contract with GS or any of its Affiliates (subject to the netting, set-off and recoupment rights thereunder or under this Agreement) whether arising prior to the date of this Agreement or thereafter and whether liquidated, unliquidated, fixed, contingent, matured, unmatured, disputed, undisputed, legal, equitable, financial, physical, secured or unsecured. To the extent that you continue to have any rights or interest in Collateral or Margin that has been taken by GS, then the Security Interest shall extend to those rights and that interest. Where You are acting under the Agreement as agent on behalf of an Underlying Client, the Security Interest granted by You on behalf of such Underlying Client or granted by the Underlying Client itself by executing a copy of the Agreement shall act as continuing security only for the payment and discharge of all Liabilities of such Underlying Client. The covenants implied by the Law of Property (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 1994 in the charges contained in or created pursuant to the Agreement are construed with the omission of:

the words “other than any charges, encumbrances or rights which that person does not and could not reasonably be expected to know about” in section 3(1) of that Act; and

section 6(2) of that Act.

Where You are acting as agent on behalf of an Underlying Client, You represent, undertake and warrant on the date of these Terms and on a continuing basis that You hold and will at all times hold all requisite authorities from the Underlying

The Security Interest shall remain in full force and effect by way of continuing security and shall not be affected in any way by any settlement of account (whether or not any Indebtedness remains outstanding thereafter) or other matter and shall be in addition to any other security, guarantee or indemnity held by GS or its Affiliates or any other person in respect of your Indebtedness.

You (or Your Underlying Client, where applicable) irrevocably authorise GS at any time after the occurrence of an Event of Default or an event of default, termination event or other similar event under any other agreement between you and GS or its Affiliates (including any OTC derivative documentation) in relation to you, if any amount due to GS or its Affiliates from you has not been paid when due (or on demand, if so payable), at any time after demand is made on you, to:

sell or otherwise realise all or any of the Custody Assets as GS in its sole and absolute discretion thinks fit;

to apply the proceeds of sale or any Client Money held by GS on your behalf in or towards discharge of the Liabilities; or

apply or set off any credit balance and claim (whether or not then due or payable) to which you are at any time entitled, in or towards payment or against all or any Liabilities.

Following an Event of Default under these Terms or an event of default, termination event or other similar event under any other agreement between you and GS or its Affiliates (including any OTC derivative documentation) in relation to you, GS shall have the right to appropriate all or part of the Assets in or towards discharge of all Liabilities. For this purpose, the parties agree that the value of the appropriated Assets shall be (as applicable):

the market value of the Assets determined by GS by reference to a public index or by such other process as GS may select, including independent valuation; or

the amount of the Assets constituting cash, together with any accrued by unposted interest that is paid in relation to such cash, at the time the right of appropriation is exercised.

Where GS so exercises the power of sale as contained in Clause 1.4 of Section 4 of Part B (Custody Services) above, the price obtained by GS shall be no less than the best price that would have been reasonably obtainable had GS sold Custody Assets to an independent buyer dealing with GS at arm’s length. GS shall on request provide you with evidence showing compliance with this Clause 1.6;

GS may give up, deal with, vary, exchange or abstain from perfecting or enforcing any other security at any time and discharge any party thereto, and realise the same as GS thinks fit without in any way affecting or prejudicing the Security Interest.

For the purpose of perfecting or enforcing the Security Interest: (i) if GS so requests at any time or times, you shall promptly execute and sign all such transfers, assignments, powers of attorney, further assurances or other documents and do all such other acts and things as may reasonably be required to vest or to realise the Security Interest or any of it in GS or to the order of GS or to a purchaser or transferee to perfect or preserve the rights and interests of GS in respect of the Security Interest (including, without limitation, the institution and conduct of legal proceedings) or for the exercise by GS of all or any of the powers, authorities and discretions conferred on GS by the Agreement; and (ii) you hereby irrevocably authorise GS on its behalf and in its name or otherwise to take the actions specified in (i). In respect of any obligations owed to an Affiliate of GS where GS is Custodian or Sub-Custodian of the Assets in the Account, GS holds the benefit of the Security Interest as trustee for such Affiliate. In enforcing its rights hereunder, GS may act in its discretion and without regard to any tax or other consequences that you may face as a result of such actions.

At your request, GS may, in its sole and absolute discretion, permit you to dispose of or otherwise deal with any of the Assets. You (or Your Underlying Client, where applicable) shall not otherwise be entitled to dispose of or otherwise deal with any of the Assets. If at any time GS consents to such disposition or dealing, that consent shall in no way constitute a waiver of GS’ right to refuse to give its consent to any other request.

In circumstances where GS holds Custody Assets for you, and (a) in the twelve years preceding the divestment of those Custody Assets we have not received instructions relating to any Custody Assets from you or on your behalf; and (b) we have been unable to contact you having taken reasonable steps in accordance with the FCA Rules to trace you and return Custody Assets, we shall cease to treat such assets as Custody Assets, and you consent to GS in its sole discretion, deciding to (i) liquidate any unclaimed Custody Asset at market value, and pay the proceeds, or (ii) transfer any such unclaimed Custody Assets, in either case to a registered charity of GS’ choice. In such circumstances, GS (or an Affiliate of GS) unconditionally undertakes to pay you a sum equal to the value of the Custody Assets at the time they were liquidated or transferred to charity in the event that you seek to claim the Custody Assets in future.

where there has been no movement on such balances for a period of six years (disregarding any payments or receipts of charges, interest or similar items) and GS has been unable to contact you, having taken reasonable steps to trace you and return the Client Money, in which case GS shall not be obliged to treat such balances as Client Money. GS (or an Affiliate of GS)

if the aggregate balance of the Client Money GS holds for you is GBP 100 or less, in which case such money shall cease to be Client Money, where (a) there has been no movement on such balance for six years (disregarding any payments or receipts of charges, interest or similar items); and (b) GS has made at least one attempt to contact you to return the balance to you using the most up-to-date contact details GS has for you, and you have not responded to such communication within 28 days of such communication having been made.

Except in respect of de minimis sums, you agree that GS may in connection with the transfer of all or part of the business of GS transfer Client Money balances, provided that (a) the sums transferred will be held for you by the person to whom they are transferred in accordance with the FCA Rules and any equivalent rules implemented in accordance with MiFID II; or (b) if not held in accordance with (a), GS will exercise all due skill, care and diligence in assessing whether the person to whom the Client Money is transferred will apply adequate measures to protect these sums. For the purposes of this clause, de minimis sums shall mean GBP 100 or less.

Where the Agreement is terminated for any reason, you agree and acknowledge that on or prior to the relevant termination date specified in any written notice to you at your last known address, you shall give instructions to GS as to the payment of Client Money and delivery of Custody Assets, and whether the Client Money should be paid to you and Custody Assets delivered to you or a third party on your behalf. You (or Your Underlying Client, where applicable) agree to pay all fees and charges that may be incurred in respect of the transfer of Custody Assets and Client Money and that upon such disposal by GS such assets shall cease to be Custody Assets and Client Money. You (or Your Underlying Client, where applicable) also agree that in the event that you fail to provide GS with any such instructions within 30 Business Days of the relevant termination date, GS shall have the right to realise Custody Assets and to return the proceeds of sale (net of any fees and charges incurred in respect of such realisation) to you. Where GS exercises such power of sale by executing transactions or transmitting orders to other entities for execution, GS shall comply with its Execution Policy. GS shall not be obliged to provide you with any reminder as to its rights under this clause in the event of any termination of the Agreement.

Unless otherwise agreed and in accordance with Applicable Law, where GS holds Assets for you, GS shall provide you with periodic statements in respect of your Assets. These statements shall be provided as often as is required on a periodic basis by the FCA Rules and any equivalent rules implemented in accordance with MiFID II, but at least on a quarterly

In computing the Market Value of the Account, each Custody Asset which is an investment listed, quoted or regularly dealt in, on an exchange shall be valued on the basis of reported transactions on such exchange (or if more than one, such exchange as GS may determine to be the principal such exchange). Custody Assets which are listed investments not regularly traded, or unlisted positions, or any positions for which an exchange valuation would not provide a fair and accurate valuation in the opinion of GS, shall be valued in such manner as determined in good faith by GS to reflect their fair Market Value. Prevailing exchange rates shall be applied in valuing holdings in foreign currency. Values quoted are indicative and not guaranteed as realisable.

Subject always to the obligations of GS under Applicable Law, you and GS may from time to time agree to the specific form, content and process for the provision of account statements and reports to you.

If you request GS to reflect positions that you hold at another broker-dealer or at a bank or other custodian on your GS Account statement, GS may report these positions to you as a courtesy based upon information provided by you and/or your Custodian. You (or Your Underlying Client, where applicable) agree, however, that where GS provides this Service in its discretion, GS makes no representation whatsoever to you concerning the accuracy of this information, and, in particular, the accuracy of the

Statements of the Account shall be conclusive (save in the case of manifest error) if not objected to in writing within ten (10) Business Days after you are deemed to have received those statements either by mail or otherwise. Communications mailed, electronically transmitted or otherwise sent to you at the address specified in GS’ records shall be deemed to have been received by you when sent to the relevant address and you waive all claims resulting from failure to receive such communications. For this purpose, GS shall have ten (10) business days to update its records after GS has received notice in writing of a different address.
