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”).

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.
