Participating Broker Dealer’s acceptance of this Agreement constitutes a representation and warranty to the Company and the Dealer Manager that Participating Broker-Dealer has established and implemented an anti-money laundering compliance program (“AML Program”) in accordance with applicable law, including applicable FINRA Rules, rules promulgated by the SEC and the Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act (USA PATRIOT Act) of 2001, as amended by the USA Patriot Improvement and Reauthorization Act of 2005 (the “USA PATRIOT Act”), specifically including, but not limited to, Section 352 of the International Money Laundering Abatement and Anti-Terrorist Financing Act of 2001 (the “Money Laundering Abatement Act” and together with the USA PATRIOT Act, the “AML Rules”), reasonably expected to detect and cause the reporting of suspicious transactions in connection with the sale of Primary Shares.

Selling Broker Dealer -- A person registered as a broker-dealer and licensed as a life insurance agent or affiliated with a person so licensed, and authorized to distribute the Contracts pursuant to a sales agreement as provided for in Section 4 of this Agreement.
The Broker Dealer understands and agrees that in performing the services covered by this Agreement, it is acting in the capacity of an independent contractor and not as an agent or employee of PEPCO, and that it is not authorized to act for, or make any representation on behalf of, PEPCO or the Insurer except as specified herein. Broker-Dealer understands and agrees that PEPCO shall execute telephone transfer orders only in accordance with the terms and conditions of the then current prospectus applicable to the contracts and/or policies and agrees that, in consideration for the Broker-Dealer's right to exercise the telephone transfer privilege, neither PEPCO nor the Insurer will be liable for any loss, injury or damage incurred as a result of acting upon, nor will they be held responsible for the authenticity of, any telephone instructions containing unauthorized, incorrect or incomplete information. Broker-Dealer agrees to indemnify and hold harmless PEPCO and the Insurer against any loss, injury or damage resulting from any telephone exchange instruction containing unauthorized, incorrect or incomplete information received from Broker-Dealer or any of its registered representatives.

No Broker Neither Seller nor any Affiliate of Seller has dealt with any broker, investment banker, agent or other Person, except for Buyer or an Affiliate of Buyer, who may be entitled to any commission or compensation in connection with any Transaction.

INTRODUCING BROKERS 18.1 The Client may have been referred to Tickmill Ltd by an Introducing Broker. If so, Tickmill Ltd shall not be responsible for any agreement made between the Client and the Client's Introducing Broker. The Client acknowledges that any such Introducing Broker will either be acting as an independent intermediary or an Agent for the Client and that no such Introducing Broker shall be authorised to make any representations concerning Tickmill Ltd or Tickmill Ltd’s Services.
18.2 The Client is specifically made aware that the Client's agreement with its Introducing Broker may result in additional costs as Tickmill Ltd may pay fees or commission to such person.
18.3 The Client is also specifically made aware that the Client's agreement with its Introducing Broker may result in additional costs for the client because the Introducing Broker can deduct commissions and fees as well as price or interest/financing rate adjustments for any trade conducted on or allocated to the Clients account either by the Introducing Broker or the Client.
18.4 If the Introducing Broker undertakes any deductions from the Client's Trading Account according to any agreement between the Client and the Introducing Broker, Tickmill Ltd has no responsibility as to the existence or validity of such an agreement.
18.5 Tickmill Ltd shall have no responsibility or liability to the Client in following the instructions given by the Introducing Broker. Tickmill Ltd is under no obligation to supervise or otherwise know or review the payment instructions or any other acts, including but not limited to the trading, of the Introducing Broker.
18.6 The client acknowledges and accepts that frequent transactions may result in a sum total of commissions, fees, price or interest/financing rate adjustments for trades conducted that may be substantial and not necessarily be offset by the net profits, if any, achieved from the relevant trades. The responsibility for correctly assessing whether the size of the total commissions, fees, price or interest/financing rate adjustments for trades conducted paid from the Client's account makes trading commercially viable, is the combined responsibility of the Client and the Introducing Broker. Tickmill Ltd only acts as the custodian and principal broker, and therefore is not responsible for the size of the commissions and fees as well as price or interest rate paid by the Client.
18.7 Any commissions, fees, price or interest/financing rate adjustments for trades conducted may be shared between the Introducing Broker, Tickmill Ltd and third parties according to the Introducing Broker's written instructions and/or at Tickmill Ltd’s discretion.
Selection of Brokers and Dealers To the extent permitted by the policy guidelines set out in each Fund’s current Prospectus or SAI, in connection with the selection of brokers and dealers to execute portfolio transactions, in seeking the best overall terms available, the Adviser is authorized to consider not only the available prices and rates of brokerage commissions, but also other relevant factors, which may include, without limitation: the execution capabilities of the brokers and dealers; the research, custody, and other services provided by the brokers and dealers that the Adviser believes will enhance its general portfolio management capabilities; the size of the transaction; the difficulty of execution; the operational facilities of these brokers and dealers; the risk to a broker or dealer of positioning a block of securities; and the overall quality of brokerage and research services provided by the brokers and dealers. In connection with the foregoing, the Adviser is specifically authorized to pay those brokers and dealers who provide brokerage and research services to the Trust a higher commission than that charged by other brokers and dealers if the Adviser determines in good faith that the amount of the commission is reasonable in relation to the value of the brokerage and research services provided. The Trust acknowledges that any such research may be useful in connection with other accounts managed by the Adviser. The execution of such transactions will not be considered to represent an unlawful breach of any duty created by this Agreement or otherwise.
Affiliated Brokers The Adviser or any of its affiliates may act as broker in connection with the purchase or sale of securities or other investments for a Fund, subject to: (i) the requirement that the Adviser seek to obtain best execution and price within the policy guidelines determined by the Board and set forth in the Fund’s current prospectus and SAI; (ii) the provisions of the 1940 Act; (iii) the provisions of the Advisers Act; (iv) the provisions of the 1934 Act; and (v) other provisions of applicable law. These brokerage services are not within the scope of the duties of the Adviser under this Agreement. Subject to the requirements of applicable law and any procedures adopted by the Board, the Adviser or its affiliates may receive brokerage commissions, fees or other remuneration from a Fund for these services in addition to the Adviser’s fees for services under this Agreement.
Placement Agent It will purchase the Subordinated Note(s) directly from the Company and not from the Placement Agent and understands that neither the Placement Agent nor any other broker or dealer has any obligation to make a market in the Subordinated Notes.
