Border Asset Management - Terms and Conditions
2 Appointment of Manager
The Agreement shall apply until varied in accordance with subsequent Terms and supercedes any previous Agreements in respect of this portfolio. You are asked to confirm your
acceptance of the various Terms and Conditions set out below by completing, signing and returning the relevant Sections of the Personal, Administrative and Financial Schedule. The
Manager’s appointment under this Agreement shall be effective from the date that we receive your signed instructions until such times as the Agreement is terminated. Where this
Agreement is not consistent with, or conflicts with any of our customer documentation relating to regulated activities which you have already entered into, these terms will prevail.
4 Termination of Agreement
The Client is entitled to terminate the Agreement at any time by written notice, such termination to be effective on receipt by the Manager of the notice or at such time as is specified
therein subject in either case to the completion of outstanding transactions. The Manager may also terminate this Agreement on one month's notice in writing or by immediate notice if
required to do so by any competent regulatory authority. Termination will not in any event affect accrued rights, existing commitments or any contractual provision intended to survive
termination and will be without penalty or other additional payment save that the Client will pay the Manager's fees pro rata to the date of termination; any additional expenses necessarily
incurred by the Manager in terminating the agreement; and any losses necessarily realised in settling or concluding outstanding obligations.
(a) On termination of the Manager's appointment (except, in the case of an individual or individuals, by reason of death or incapacity of such individual or, as the case may be, of the
last survivor) the Custodian will promptly account to the Client for all securities and cash held by it for the Fund's account and will direct its nominee company and any sub-
custodian to do likewise save that the Manager shall be entitled to direct any Custodian or, where the Client makes other arrangements for custodial services, such custodian as
the Client may appoint, to retain such securities and cash as may be required to settle transactions already initiated and to pay any outstanding liabilities of the Client.
(b) If, on termination, any money is or may become due as a result of a commitment entered into by the Manager on the Fund's account ("an outstanding amount") then the Manager
may at its discretion sell such of the Clients investments as it may in its discretion select in order to realise funds sufficient to cover any outstanding amount (but only to the extent
that insufficient funds are otherwise held on the Fund's account and available for the purpose) and/or cancel, close out, terminate or reverse any transaction or enter into another
transaction or do anything which has the effect of reducing or eliminating any outstanding amount or of reducing or eliminating liability under any contracts, positions or
commitments undertaken on the Fund's account.
5 Severability
Each clause of the Terms is severable and if any provision becomes invalid, void, voidable or unenforceable, or contravenes any applicable regulations, the remaining clauses will not be
affected. Accordingly, this Agreement shall have effect as if each paragraph, sub-paragraph or other provision containing any rights granted or obligations owed between the Client and
the Custodian were severed from the Agreement to the extent necessary for it to operate as an agreement between the Manager and the Client only and, in that event, no right or
obligations expressed to be granted to or, as the case may be, owed by the Custodian pursuant to the terms of this Agreement shall be deemed by reason of such severance to be granted
to or, as the case may be, owed by the Manager.

SECTION THREE
PLEASE INDICATE WHETHER YOU WISH US TO REINVEST DIVIDENDS
INTO THE PORTFOLIO FROM TIME TO TIME OR OTHERWISE PAY OUT
A REGULAR INCOME INSTEAD. PLEASE INDICATE ON THE NEXT
LINE THE AMOUNT AND THE INTERVAL BETWEEN PAYMENTS.
N.B. PLEASE NOTE; When we are requested to pay out a regular sum at a regular interval,
this will take precedence over the other objectives of your Fund. As a consequence, if there
are not sufficient accumulated dividends to cover the payment of a regular sum, it will be
paid as usual but funds will then be withdrawn from your capital investments to cover the
shortfall. If you would prefer us to pay out your specified amount ONLY if there are
sufficient accumulated dividends to cover this, please indicate this in Section Five ("Special
Provisions") on Page 11.
SECTION FOUR
WE SEND OUT SIX MONTHLY VALUATIONS, STATEMENTS AND REVIEW LETTERS TO ALL OUR
CLIENTS. IN MAY/JUNE EACH YEAR WE ALSO SEND OUT A CONSOLIDATED TAX STATEMENT
SHOWING TOTAL DIVIDENDS, OTHER INCOME RECEIVED AND CAPITAL GAINS. IF REQUESTED,
WE CAN SEND A COPY OF THE VALUATIONS TO A PROFESSIONAL ADVISER AND IF YOU WISH,
WE CAN SEND THE TAX STATEMENT DIRECTLY TO YOUR ACCOUNTANT (OR OTHER ADVISER).
FINALLY, PLEASE INDICATE TOWARDS THE FOOT OF THE PAGE IF YOU WISH TO
SPECIFY THE POINT AT WHICH YOUR REGULAR REVIEWS ARE SENT OUT.

Border Asset Management - Terms and Conditions
11 Category of Account
The Manager hereby notifies the Client that the Account will be treated as a private customer. Whether the Client is Trust, Charity or Pension Account, the Manager will provide its
services as discretionary portfolio manager on that basis. If you are an authorised person or an overseas financial services institution (as defined in the Rules), we reserve the right to treat
you as an "intermediate customer" or a "market counter-party" and such clients should identify themselves as such in the Schedule. We will nevertheless provide you with all protections
afforded to private customers with the exception that you will not necessarily have the right of access to the Financial Ombudsman Service (as defined in the Rules); you will not necessarily
be eligible to apply for compensation from the Financial Services Compensation Scheme; you will have no recourse against us under sections 71 or 150 of the Financial Services and
Markets Act 2000, although your rights against for any breaches of obligations owed pursuant to this Agreement are not affected. (Other types of intermediate customers are local
authorities or public authorities; a body corporate with listed shares and with net assets of more than £5m; a partnership/unincorporated association with net assets of more than £5m;
a Trustee of a Trust with assets of at least £10m; a trustee of an occupational pension scheme with more than 50 members and assets in excess of £10m).
12 Instructions
(a) Without prejudice to paragraph 10, the Manager and, as the case may be, the Custodian, will act upon the Client's instructions unless the Client is advised that the Manager believes
such compliance may not be practicable or might involve either party in a contravention of any law, rule or regulation.
(b) The Manager and the Custodian are authorised to rely on, may act on and treat as fully authorised by the Client, any instruction communicated to us which purports to have been
given (and which is accepted by the Manager in good faith as having been given) by or on behalf of the Client.
(c) We will at our discretion accept instructions transmitted to us over the telephone, by facsimile or via Email. However unless we receive clear, legible instructions in writing over your
original signature, we will not accept any liability for losses arising from mistakes, or misunderstandings of your instructions.
(d) At our discretion, we may accept "limit order" instructions. We will generally hold such instructions for the day on which the order is placed but we stress that such instructions
are accepted on a best endeavours basis and we can never guarantee that a limit order will be executed. If a limit order is not reached by close of business on the day in question,
it will be discarded without further notice. In such cases, you should therefore renew the order on a subsequent day. If such an order is executed, we will endeavour to contact you
to inform you that this is the case.
(e) For the avoidance of doubt, we hereby state that we will never transact any order unless we have cleared funds available to complete the deal.
(f) At our absolute discretion, we may accept instructions from third parties who we believe to be acting on your behalf and with your authority in relation to any aspect of our services
including the transfer of cash and/or stock; a change of investment objective or risk profile or a change to the investment portfolio. In some circumstances however, we may require
certain documentation before accepting instructions from third parties.
(g) The Manager will not act upon instructions left verbally on a Telephone Answering Service or Device without additional written confirmation.
15 Research
The Manager is entitled to treat any advice and research supplied to it by reputable sources as reliable even if it carries a Disclaimer notice stating that the information contained within it is not
guaranteed as to accuracy or completeness. The information we receive and the decisions and recommendations we make as a result can therefore never be guaranteed as to correctness in the
long or short term and our recommendations may change without notice. We do not accept liability for any direct or consequential loss arising from the use of reputable third party research.
16 Investment Process
Our Portfolio Managers exercise discretion in respect to your portfolio which they deem to be appropriate to your requirements and their services are personal to each client. To provide this
personal service every Manager must maintain a degree of autonomy in decision making, subject to the monitoring and supervision carried out as part of our investment process. One of our
portfolio managers may therefore utilise an investment for one client which another portfolio manager might choose not to utilise for another client in outwardly similar circumstances. As a
result it is perfectly possible that the performance of one client’s Portfolio will differ from that of another client with a similar investment objective and risk profile. Furthermore, a client of
one of our portfolio managers might experience portfolio performance that differs noticeably from a client with a similar investment profile but with another portfolio manager.
17 Benchmarking
You will specify a suitable benchmark for your portfolio in Section 2 of the Schedule. The purpose of a benchmark is to provide clients with a reference point for the performance of
their portfolio and it is not a guarantee that your portfolio will perform in line with the chosen benchmark or necessarily follow its distribution or constitution. Your portfolio will not
therefore necessarily be based upon the investments that make up the indices in the benchmark or necessarily follow their asset allocation or performance.
18 Investment Objective
In Section 2 of the Schedule, you are asked to specify which of the following you regard as the most important aspect of your investment returns; Capital Growth; Income or a Balance
between income and growth. If no such objective is specified, you should be aware that we will assume that your objective is to achieve a balance between income and growth until we
receive further notification from you. At the same time, we also require you to specify in Section Five of the Schedule any limits and restrictions that you wish us to apply to your portfolio.
Any limits or restrictions you specify may relate to the geography, industry sector or financial basis of a particular investment. Unless any restriction is stated by you however, we will
assume that you wish no such limits to apply.
20 Joint Accounts
If the Client is more than one person the Client's obligations under this Agreement shall be joint and several and any reference in this Agreement to the Client shall be construed where
appropriate as a reference to any one or more of such persons. Accordingly, any warning or other notice which shall be given to one of the persons constituting the Client shall thereby
be deemed as given to all persons constituting the Client. On the death of any of the persons constituting the Client (being survived by any other such person), the Agreement shall not
terminate and the interest of the deceased in the Fund will automatically enure to the benefit of the survivor(s) unless otherwise specified. Instructions which we receive from a holder
of a Joint Account will be accepted by us on the understanding that the person giving us the instruction is acting on behalf of all the holders of the Joint Account.

PART 2 – Investment Management Services (Continued)
21 Investment Trusts
Investment Trusts may use or have the ability to use gearing as an investment strategy or invest or propose to invest in other companies that may use or propose to use gearing in their
own investment strategy. Movements in the price of the securities may be more volatile than the movements in the price of underlying investments. The investment may be subject to
sudden and large falls in value and you may get back nothing at all if the fall in value is sufficiently large. Securities that are (1) listed in the UK under Chapter 21 of the Listing Rules or
are (2) issued by an Investment Trust and listed in an EEA state other than the UK may sometimes propose to use gearing. Where gearing is used or proposed to be used as an investment
strategy, or the Manager or Issuer invests, or proposes to invest, in securities that satisfy (1) and (2) above, the securities may be subject to fluctuations in value that are significant compared
with the likely fluctuations in value of the underlying investments.
22 Shareholder Concessions
By agreeing to your investments being held by one of the Custodian’s Nominee companies, you accept that you will no longer be entitled to receive shareholder reports, accounts and
other material from time to time issued by the entity in which you are invested. You may also forego right to any company privileges (shareholder "perks") to which you may have otherwise
have been entitled as the registered owner of an investment.
23 Bank Accounts
Subject to the terms of the Schedule an Income Account, to which all income will be credited, and a Capital Account, to which all capital transactions will be debited or credited, may be
opened in the name of the Fund (or in such other name as the Client may in writing instruct) in such currency, or currencies, as the Manager may consider appropriate with the Custodian.
The Manager shall be empowered to give instructions to the Custodian regarding such accounts on behalf of the Fund and the Client grants any mandates necessary to give effect to this
provision. All such accounts shall be interest bearing.
24 General Restrictions
The Manager may not, without the prior consent of the Client, commit the Client to supplement the assets in the Fund by borrowing on the Client's behalf. The Manager will not invest
in Penny Shares, Options, Futures or Contracts for Differences. The Manager may not directly utilise any broker outside the United Kingdom or otherwise not regulated to carry out
business in the United Kingdom. The Manager may:
(a) acquire partly paid securities as set out in Section 2 of the Schedule unless expressly prohibited by the Client in Section 5;
(b) overdraw any appropriate account from time to time to match bargain settlement dates, whereupon interest will be debited to the Fund quarterly at a rate specified by the
Custodian.
The fact that a new issue or a related security is being stabilised should not be taken as any indication of the level of interest from investors, nor of the price at which they are prepared
to buy back the securities.
27 Warrants
A warrant is a time-limited right to subscribe for shares, debentures, loan stock or government securities and is exercisable against the original issuer of the underlying securities. A
relatively small movement in the price of the underlying security results in a disproportionately large movement, unfavourable or favourable in the price of the warrant. The price of the
warrants can therefore be volatile. It is essential for anyone who is considering purchasing warrants to understand that the right to subscribe which a warrant confers is invariably limited
in time with the consequence that if the investor fails to exercise this right within the predetermined time-scale then the investment becomes worthless. You should not buy a Warrant
unless you are prepared to sustain a total loss of the money you have invested plus any commission or other transaction charges. We ask you to specifically inform us that you are content
for us to buy warrants for you in Section 2 of the Schedule and unless you do so, we will not buy these for you.

31 Custodial Services
(a) The Custodian shall arrange for the Fund's UK securities other than bearer securities (for which the Custodian shall arrange safekeeping) to be registered in the name of Adam &
Company International (Nominees) Limited, PO Box 402, Royal Bank Chambers, 1 Glategny Esplanade, St Peter Port, Guernsey, GY1 3GB ("the Nominee") who shall hold such
UK securities as Bare Trustee for the Client. The Client shall at all times remain beneficially entitled to such securities.
(b) The Nominee shall hold such securities to the order of the Custodian.
(c) The Custodian accepts responsibility for the acts and omissions of the Nominee.
(d) The certificates and other documents from time to time representing or evidencing the Fund will be held either:
i) By the Custodian in its own custody at PO Box 402, Royal Bank Chambers, 1 Glategny Esplanade, St Peter Port,Guernsey, GY1 3GB or at such place or places within the
UK as it may at its discretion select;
ii) By the Custodian in dematerialised form within the electronic clearing system operated by CRESTCo Limited, 33 Cannon Street, London, EC4M 5SB ("CREST"). The
Client’s agreement hereto constitutes the Client’s authority to the Custodian that, as a result of this provision, securities may be held by the Custodian in fungible clearing
accounts and that, consequently, the securities of one client may be used to satisfy the bargain of another. Where title to any securities held by the Custodian is recorded
electronically those securities shall be identified on the Custodian’s records as held solely by the Custodian for the account of the Client
iii) Subject to the terms of paragraph "e" below to the order of the Custodian by a sub-custodian.
(e) The Custodian shall act upon the instructions of the Manager with respect to the delivery and receipt of all securities entrusted to it under this Agreement and the Client grants
any mandates necessary to give effect to this provision.
(f) The Custodian undertakes to exercise all reasonable care and diligence in its choice of sub-custodians. In the event that any sub-custodian should fail to account to the Custodian
for any transaction or securities for whatever reason the Custodian will endeavour to pursue on behalf of the Client all appropriate legal remedies against such sub-custodian to
recover such securities or any sums due or compensation in lieu thereof but, subject thereto, will not accept any liability for any such failure to account. The costs and expenses
properly incurred by the Custodian in connection with the pursuit of such remedies shall be debited to the Client.
(g) Distribution of entitlement to shares and any other benefits arising from corporate events shall be allocated on a pro-rata basis among those clients entitled to it and the Client may
not receive exactly the same amount as would be the case if the holding were registered in the Client's name. Entitlements to fractions of investments or rights which cannot be
fully apportioned will not be allocated to the Client but will be sold and the proceeds donated to a charity of the Custodian's choice.
(h) Client investments held by the Custodian shall be registered collectively into the Nominee name consequently clients' entitlements may not be identifiable by separate certificates
or other physical documents of title. In the event of default by the Custodian any shortfall in clients' investments may be shared pro-rata among all the clients whose investments
are so registered.
(i) Where securities are held by a Sub-custodian outside the United Kingdom the Client is warned that different settlement, legal and regulatory requirements and different practices
relating to the segregation of those securities may apply.
(j) Upon the request of the Manager or the Custodian, the Client shall promptly execute or produce any documents (or where relevant shall procure the execution or production of
such documents) necessary to carry out the transactions effected in accordance with the terms of this Agreement by the Manager or the Custodian. Where the Client contemplates
a delay or failure in delivering such documents the Client shall notify the Manager forthwith.
32 Settlement
The Custodian will attend to the settlement of all transactions undertaken at the direction of the Manager and may use such settlement and other systems as it may select on the terms
of business of the operators of such systems. The Custodian’s obligation to settle transactions is conditional upon its holding or receiving all necessary documents or funds (as the case
may be). In addition, delivery or payment (as the case may be) by the other party to any such transaction shall be at the Client’s risk and the Custodian’s obligation to account to the
Client for any investment or the proceeds of sale of any investment shall be conditional upon receipt by the Custodian of the relevant documents or sale proceeds (as the case may be)
from the other party to the transaction.
33 Realisation
On the instructions of the Manager, the Custodian may realise any securities held by it under the terms of this Agreement for the purposes of meeting any liability of the Client for which
such securities are held as collateral or to meet any liability incurred by the Client with respect to the Agreement. The Custodian may retain or make deductions from amounts the
Custodian owes to the Client in order to settle any outstanding obligations arising from this Agreement.
34 Voting
The Manager or the Custodian may procure the exercise of any voting rights attaching to the investments of the Fund with the agreement or on the specific instructions of the Client.
35 Stock Lending
The Custodian shall not, and shall procure that any Sub-custodian shall not, arrange for any securities held by it under the terms of this Agreement to be lent to or deposited by way of
collateral with any third party.
Please note that in some circumstances, we may be requested by a product provider, regulatory body or other party to forward to them copies of any verification of identity and address
documents that we have obtained from you. You confirm that we have your permission to forward these documents to such parties if so requested at our discretion.

PART 4 – General Regulatory Notices and Statutory Statements (Continued)
40 Taxation
The Client and any professional tax adviser of the Client are solely responsible for the management of any of the Client's affairs to the best advantage for tax purposes. The Client may
from time to time request data from the Manager in relation to specific tax matters but the Manager shall not be responsible for any tax liabilities arising from errors or misunderstandings
arising from this information and accepts no liability for any tax arising from anything done within the scope of its authority. If the Client is in doubt about its tax position or if the Client
does not have tax expertise, it is strongly recommended to consult a professional tax adviser, as the Manager cannot be considered a professional tax adviser and has no qualifications as
such.
41 Liability
(a) You agree to indemnify us against all claims, demands, liabilities, losses, expenses of any kind and costs (together with third party costs) including (but not limited to) commissions,
transfer and registration charges, taxes and all other financial liabilities relating to your investments or our services, which we may incur or have made against us as a direct or
indirect result of our acting properly under this Agreement. We are also indemnified against any costs or losses arising from a consequence of any breach by you of this Agreement.
All transactions are entered into entirely at your risk. All securities in your portfolio are free of lien, pledge, charge or encumbrance.
(b) The Manager will deal in good faith and with due diligence but shall not be liable in respect of the negligence, wilful default or fraud of any person, firm or company through
whom transactions are effected for the Client's account.
(c) No warranty is given by the Manager as to the performance or profitability of any investments forming part of, or constituting the Fund.
(d) The Manager will not be liable for any loss arising from errors of facts or judgement or any action taken (or omitted to be taken) by it howsoever arising except to the extent that
any such error or action (or the omission thereof) is due to the Manager's fraud, wilful default or negligence, or that of its employees or results in the Manager being in breach of
its obligations under the FSA Rules, in either of which cases the liability of the Manager will remain.
(e) The Manager will not be responsible for breaching an investment guideline specified in Sections 2 or 5 of the Schedule if the breach was brought about solely due to market
movements provided that the original investment was within specified guidelines at the moment of investment.
(f) The Manager will be responsible for entrusting to the safe custody of the Custodian securities and document of title relating thereto that come into the Manager's possession, but
the Manager shall not be liable in relation to any negligence, wilful default or fraud by the Custodian.
(g) The Custodian accepts responsibility for the negligence, wilful default and fraud of any nominee company which it selects, otherwise than at the direction of the Client, pursuant
to paragraph 32(a) above but, subject thereto, shall not be liable for the negligence, wilful default or fraud of any sub-custodian or other person or entity which holds money on
behalf of the Fund or is the registered holder of registered investment of the Fund or is the sub-custodian of documents or other evidence of title.
(h) We shall not have any responsibility for money being paid to you once the money has left you account with us. Any correspondence and/or documents of title that are despatched
to you by post or courier to the latest address as notified to us by you are sent at your sole risk. We shall have no responsibility for any failure in delivery to you on the part of the
postal system or any courier company.
42 Force Majeure
In the event of any failure, interruption or delay in the performance of the Manager's or the Custodian's obligations resulting from acts, events or circumstances not reasonably within
their respective control, including, but not limited to, industrial disputes, acts or regulations of any governmental or supranational bodies or authorities and breakdown, failure or
malfunction of any telecommunications or computer service or systems, the Manager or, as the case may be, the Custodian shall not be liable or have any responsibility of any kind for
any loss or damage thereby incurred or suffered by the Client.
43 Confidentiality
(a) The Manager is not obliged to disclose any information to the Client if the Manager believes that such disclosure would constitute a breach of duty or confidence to any other
Client or person.
(b) The Manager is not obliged to take into consideration any matter which comes to the notice of an employee of the Manager but properly does not come to the actual notice of
the individual managing the Fund.
(c) The parties to this Agreement shall not disclose information of a confidential nature acquired in consequence of it, except for information which they may be entitled or bound to
disclose by law or when requested by regulatory authorities or which is disclosed to their advisors where reasonably necessary for the performance of their professional services.
45 Assignment
This Agreement is personal to the Client and shall not be capable of assignment by the Client or of being transferred by it. The Manager may appoint any appropriate Associate as Manager
in its place and shall be entitled to assign to such Appointee all the benefits of this Agreement subject to the Appointee agreeing to be bound by all the duties and obligations of the
Manager.
46 Market Abuse
You should be aware that if you are a director or an employee with access to confidential information about a listed company or if you are in possession of such information through a
connection with such persons, you must comply with the Model Code requirements applying in respect of that listed company.
47 Overseas Residents
Our services will not be available in countries where they are prohibited by local law. If in doubt, you should contact your usual legal adviser. We will not be responsible for the use of
our services by persons in countries where our services are prohibited and whenever BAM believes that undertaking work for a client might bring ourselves into conflict with foreign
laws, we reserve the right to decline to do so.
48 Unsolicited Calls
In the interest of the proper administration of the Fund and for related investment purposes the Manager, its representatives or employees, may call upon the Client by telephone, visit
or otherwise communicate orally with the Client without express invitation. The Client's attention is drawn to the fact that the Client will forfeit any right conferred by law to treat as
unenforceable any investment agreement entered into in the course of or in consequence of such a call. Clients will not be treated as requesting a call, visit or dialogue because they have

Border Asset Management - Terms and Conditions
PART 4 – General Regulatory Notices and Statutory Statements (Continued)
40 Taxation
The Client and any professional tax adviser of the Client are solely responsible for the management of any of the Client's affairs to the best advantage for tax purposes. The Client may
from time to time request data from the Manager in relation to specific tax matters but the Manager shall not be responsible for any tax liabilities arising from errors or misunderstandings
arising from this information and accepts no liability for any tax arising from anything done within the scope of its authority. If the Client is in doubt about its tax position or if the Client
does not have tax expertise, it is strongly recommended to consult a professional tax adviser, as the Manager cannot be considered a professional tax adviser and has no qualifications as
such.
41 Liability
(a) You agree to indemnify us against all claims, demands, liabilities, losses, expenses of any kind and costs (together with third party costs) including (but not limited to) commissions,
transfer and registration charges, taxes and all other financial liabilities relating to your investments or our services, which we may incur or have made against us as a direct or
indirect result of our acting properly under this Agreement. We are also indemnified against any costs or losses arising from a consequence of any breach by you of this Agreement.
All transactions are entered into entirely at your risk. All securities in your portfolio are free of lien, pledge, charge or encumbrance.
(b) The Manager will deal in good faith and with due diligence but shall not be liable in respect of the negligence, wilful default or fraud of any person, firm or company through
whom transactions are effected for the Client's account.
(c) No warranty is given by the Manager as to the performance or profitability of any investments forming part of, or constituting the Fund.
(d) The Manager will not be liable for any loss arising from errors of facts or judgement or any action taken (or omitted to be taken) by it howsoever arising except to the extent that
any such error or action (or the omission thereof) is due to the Manager's fraud, wilful default or negligence, or that of its employees or results in the Manager being in breach of
its obligations under the FSA Rules, in either of which cases the liability of the Manager will remain.
(e) The Manager will not be responsible for breaching an investment guideline specified in Sections 2 or 5 of the Schedule if the breach was brought about solely due to market
movements provided that the original investment was within specified guidelines at the moment of investment.
(f) The Manager will be responsible for entrusting to the safe custody of the Custodian securities and document of title relating thereto that come into the Manager's possession, but
the Manager shall not be liable in relation to any negligence, wilful default or fraud by the Custodian.
(g) The Custodian accepts responsibility for the negligence, wilful default and fraud of any nominee company which it selects, otherwise than at the direction of the Client, pursuant
to paragraph 32(a) above but, subject thereto, shall not be liable for the negligence, wilful default or fraud of any sub-custodian or other person or entity which holds money on
behalf of the Fund or is the registered holder of registered investment of the Fund or is the sub-custodian of documents or other evidence of title.
(h) We shall not have any responsibility for money being paid to you once the money has left you account with us. Any correspondence and/or documents of title that are despatched
to you by post or courier to the latest address as notified to us by you are sent at your sole risk. We shall have no responsibility for any failure in delivery to you on the part of the
postal system or any courier company.
42 Force Majeure
In the event of any failure, interruption or delay in the performance of the Manager's or the Custodian's obligations resulting from acts, events or circumstances not reasonably within
their respective control, including, but not limited to, industrial disputes, acts or regulations of any governmental or supranational bodies or authorities and breakdown, failure or
malfunction of any telecommunications or computer service or systems, the Manager or, as the case may be, the Custodian shall not be liable or have any responsibility of any kind for
any loss or damage thereby incurred or suffered by the Client.
43 Confidentiality
(a) The Manager is not obliged to disclose any information to the Client if the Manager believes that such disclosure would constitute a breach of duty or confidence to any other
Client or person.
(b) The Manager is not obliged to take into consideration any matter which comes to the notice of an employee of the Manager but properly does not come to the actual notice of
the individual managing the Fund.
(c) The parties to this Agreement shall not disclose information of a confidential nature acquired in consequence of it, except for information which they may be entitled or bound to
disclose by law or when requested by regulatory authorities or which is disclosed to their advisors where reasonably necessary for the performance of their professional services.
45 Assignment
This Agreement is personal to the Client and shall not be capable of assignment by the Client or of being transferred by it. The Manager may appoint any appropriate Associate as Manager
in its place and shall be entitled to assign to such Appointee all the benefits of this Agreement subject to the Appointee agreeing to be bound by all the duties and obligations of the
Manager.
46 Market Abuse
You should be aware that if you are a director or an employee with access to confidential information about a listed company or if you are in possession of such information through a
connection with such persons, you must comply with the Model Code requirements applying in respect of that listed company.
47 Overseas Residents
Our services will not be available in countries where they are prohibited by local law. If in doubt, you should contact your usual legal adviser. We will not be responsible for the use of
our services by persons in countries where our services are prohibited and whenever BAM believes that undertaking work for a client might bring ourselves into conflict with foreign
laws, we reserve the right to decline to do so.
48 Unsolicited Calls
In the interest of the proper administration of the Fund and for related investment purposes the Manager, its representatives or employees, may call upon the Client by telephone, visit
or otherwise communicate orally with the Client without express invitation. The Client's attention is drawn to the fact that the Client will forfeit any right conferred by law to treat as
unenforceable any investment agreement entered into in the course of or in consequence of such a call. Clients will not be treated as requesting a call, visit or dialogue because they have
omitted to indicate that they do not wish to receive such communication.
49 Governing Law
This Agreement will be governed and construed under the laws of England and Wales. Each party submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the English courts
