Anti-Money Laundering Compliance Programs Each Dealer’s acceptance of this Agreement constitutes a representation to the Managing Broker-Dealer that the Dealer has established and implemented an anti-money laundering (“AML”) compliance program (“AML Program”), in accordance with FINRA Rule 3310 and Section 352 of the Money Laundering Abatement Act, the Bank Secrecy Act, as amended, and Section 326 of the Patriot Act of 2001, which are reasonably expected to detect and cause reporting of suspicious transactions in connection with the sale of Shares. In addition, the Dealer represents that it has established and implemented a program (“OFAC Program”) for compliance with OFAC and will continue to maintain its OFAC Program during the term of this Agreement. Upon request by the Managing Broker-Dealer at any time, the Dealer hereby agrees to (i) furnish a copy of its AML Program and OFAC Program to the Managing Broker-Dealer for review and (ii) furnish a copy of the findings and any remedial actions taken in connection with the Dealer’s most recent independent testing of its AML Program and/or its OFAC Program. The parties acknowledge that for the purposes of the FINRA rules the Investors who purchase Shares through the Dealer are “Customers” of the Dealer and not the Managing Broker-Dealer. Nonetheless, to the extent that the Managing Broker-Dealer deems it prudent, the Dealer shall cooperate with the Managing Broker-Dealer’s auditing and monitoring of the Dealer’s AML Program and its OFAC Program by providing, upon request, information, records, data and exception reports, related to the Company’s investors introduced to, and serviced by, the Dealer (the “Customers”). Such documentation could include, among other things: (i) copies of Dealer’s AML Program and its OFAC Program; (ii) documents maintained pursuant to the Dealer’s AML Program and its OFAC Program related to the Customers; (iii) any suspicious activity reports filed related to the Customers; (iv) audits and any exception reports related to the Dealer’s AML activities; and (v) any other files maintained related to the Customers. In the event that such documents reflect, in the opinion of the Managing Broker-Dealer, a potential violation of the Managing Broker-Dealer’s obligations in respect of its AML or OFAC requirements, the Dealer will permit the Managing Broker-Dealer to further inspect relevant books and records related to the Customers (with respect to the Offering) and/or the Dealer’s compliance with AML or OFAC requirements. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Dealer shall not be required to provide to the Managing Broker-Dealer any documentation that, in the Dealer’s reasonable judgment, would cause the Dealer to lose the benefit of attorney-client privilege or other privilege which it may be entitled to assert relating to the discoverability of documents in any civil or criminal proceedings. The Dealer hereby represents that it is currently in compliance with all AML rules and all OFAC requirements, specifically including, but not limited to, the Customer Identification Program requirements under Section 326 of the USA PATRIOT Act. The Dealer hereby agrees, upon request by the Managing Broker-Dealer to (i) provide an annual certification to the Managing Broker-Dealer that, as of the date of such certification (A) its AML Program and its OFAC Program are consistent with the AML Rules and OFAC requirements, (B) it has continued to implement its AML Program and its OFAC Program and (C) it is currently in compliance with all AML Rules and OFAC requirements, specifically including, but not limited to, the Customer Identification Program requirements under Section 326 of the USA PATRIOT Act and (ii) perform and carry out, on behalf of both the Managing Broker-Dealer and the Company, the Customer Identification Program requirements in accordance with Section 326 of the USA PATRIOT Act and applicable SEC and Treasury Department Rules thereunder.
Compliance with Applicable Anti-Terrorism and Anti-Money Laundering Regulations In order to comply with laws, rules and regulations applicable to banking institutions, including those relating to the funding of terrorist activities and money laundering, the Indenture Trustee is required to obtain, verify and record certain information relating to individuals and entities which maintain a business relationship with the Indenture Trustee. Accordingly, each of the parties hereto agrees to provide to the Indenture Trustee upon its request from time to time such identifying information and documentation as may be available for such party in order to enable the Indenture Trustee to comply with applicable law.
Anti-Money Laundering Compliance A. Each of Distributor and Client acknowledges that it is a financial institution subject to the USA PATRIOT Act of 2001 and the Bank Secrecy Act (collectively, the “AML Acts”), which require, among other things, that financial institutions adopt compliance programs to guard against money laundering. Each represents and warrants to the other that it is in compliance with and will continue to comply with the AML Acts and applicable regulations in all relevant respects.
B. The Distributor shall include specific contractual provisions regarding anti-money laundering compliance obligations in agreements entered into by the Distributor with any broker-dealer or other financial intermediary that is authorized to effect transactions in Shares of the Funds.
C. Each of Distributor and Client agrees that it will take such further steps, and cooperate with the other as may be reasonably necessary, to facilitate compliance with the AML Acts, including but not limited to the provision of copies of its written procedures, policies and controls related thereto (“AML Operations”). Distributor undertakes that it will grant to the Client, the Client’s anti-money laundering compliance officer and appropriate regulatory agencies, reasonable access to copies of Distributor’s AML Operations, and related books and records to the extent they pertain to the Distributor’s services hereunder. It is expressly understood and agreed that the Client and the Client’s compliance officer shall have no access to any of Distributor’s AML Operations, books or records pertaining to other clients or services of Distributor.
Anti-Money Laundering and Red Flag Identity Theft Prevention Programs The Trust acknowledges that it has had an opportunity to review, consider and comment upon the written procedures provided by USBFS describing various tools used by USBFS which are designed to promote the detection and reporting of potential money laundering activity and identity theft by monitoring certain aspects of shareholder activity as well as written procedures for verifying a customer’s identity (collectively, the “Procedures”). Further, the Trust and USBFS have each determined that the Procedures, as part of the Trust’s overall Anti-Money Laundering Program and Red Flag Identity Theft Prevention Program, are reasonably designed to: (i) prevent each Fund from being used for money laundering or the financing of terrorist activities; (ii) prevent identity theft; and (iii) achieve compliance with the applicable provisions of the Bank Secrecy Act, Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act of 2003 and the USA Patriot Act of 2001 and the implementing regulations thereunder. Based on this determination, the Trust hereby instructs and directs USBFS to implement the Procedures on the Trust’s behalf, as such may be amended or revised from time to time. It is contemplated that these Procedures will be amended from time to time by the parties as additional regulations are adopted and/or regulatory guidance is provided relating to the Trust’s anti-money laundering and identity theft responsibilities. USBFS agrees to provide to the Trust:
(a) Prompt written notification of any transaction or combination of transactions that USBFS believes, based on the Procedures, evidence money laundering or identity theft activities in connection with the Trust or any Fund shareholder;
(b) Prompt written notification of any customer(s) that USBFS reasonably believes, based upon the Procedures, to be engaged in money laundering or identity theft activities, provided that the Trust agrees not to communicate this information to the customer;
(c) Any reports received by USBFS from any government agency or applicable industry self-regulatory organization pertaining to USBFS’ Anti-Money Laundering Program or the Red Flag Identity Theft Prevention Program on behalf of the Trust;
(d) Prompt written notification of any action taken in response to anti-money laundering violations or identity theft activity as described in (a), (b) or (c) immediately above; and
(e) Certified annual and quarterly reports of its monitoring and customer identification activities pursuant to the Procedures on behalf of the Trust. The Trust hereby directs, and USBFS acknowledges, that USBFS shall (i) permit federal regulators access to such information and records maintained by USBFS and relating to USBFS’ implementation of the Procedures, on behalf of the Trust, as they may request, and (ii) permit such federal regulators to inspect USBFS’ implementation of the Procedures on behalf of the Trust.
Compliance with Money Laundering Legislation The Rights Agent shall retain the right not to act and shall not be liable for refusing to act if, due to a lack of information or for any other reason whatsoever, the Rights Agent reasonably determines that such an act might cause it to be in non-compliance with any applicable anti-money laundering or anti-terrorist legislation, regulation or guideline. Further, should the Rights Agent reasonably determine at any time that its acting under this Agreement has resulted in it being in non-compliance with any applicable anti-money laundering or anti-terrorist legislation, regulation or guideline, then it shall have the right to resign on 10 days' written notice to the Corporation, provided: (i) that the Rights Agent's written notice shall describe the circumstances of such non-compliance; and (ii) that if such circumstances are rectified to the Rights Agent's satisfaction within such 10-day period, then such resignation shall not be effective.
Delegated Anti-Money Laundering Duties Terms in quotation marks in this Section shall have the meaning such terms are assigned in the Bank Secrecy Act, as amended, and its implementing regulations (collectively, the “BSA”). In general, the term “Delegated Anti-Money Laundering Duties” encompasses the functions necessary to fulfill obligations that are imposed upon the Trust and its Fund by the BSA and that relate to information maintained or transactions processed by the Transfer Agent (collectively, the “BSA Obligations”). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or elsewhere, the Delegated Anti-Money Laundering Duties shall not include any anti-money laundering function related to an obligation of the Trust that is performed by any entity that is neither directly nor indirectly owned by FMR LLC (an “Unaffiliated Intermediary”) pursuant to a provision of a Selling Dealer Agreement, Bank Agency Agreement, or any other agreement between Fidelity Distributors Company LLC or any other entity directly or indirectly owned by FMR LLC and the Unaffiliated Intermediary. The Trust has appointed FIIOC to implement its written AML Program, which is reasonably designed to comply with BSA. The AML Program includes the Delegated Anti-Money Laundering Duties and reflects the Fund’s practices for detecting, preventing and reporting money laundering, terrorist financing, and certain other criminal activity. The Fund shall exercise oversight of FIIOC’s AML activities through the Fund’s Program Officer (as that is defined in the AML Program) or his/her delegates.
