confidential; (iii)appropriately instruct employees and other authorized persons who may be accorded access to Client Confidential Information by PINE; and (iv) not use or process Client Confidential Information for any purpose other than in fulfillment of its obligations under this Agreement. PINE further represents, warrants and covenants that each of its officers, employees, directors, consultants and agents is aware of PINE’s obligations pursuant to this Section 5(a) and is subject to legal obligations of confidentiality and nondisclosure at least as restrictive as those set forth in this Section 5(a) with respect to the Client Confidential Information, including that such individuals shall not trade securities based on Client Confidential Information. PINE shall immediately notify Client of any actual or suspected misuse, unauthorized release or access of Client Confidential Information.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, PINE may disclose Client Confidential Information (A) to service providers of PINE who have a need to access such information in order to provide services to PINE and who have agreed to confidentiality and nondisclosure terms at least as restrictive as those set forth in this Section 5(a); provided that PINE shall remain liable to Client for any breaches of confidentiality by such service providers, and (B) in consultation with Client and to the extent permitted under law, if disclosure is in response to a subpoena or order issued pursuant to a valid legal process or is otherwise required by law. In the event that PINE receives any such subpoena or order or is otherwise required by law to disclose Client’s Confidential Information, such as by the production of documents or the provision of testimony, PINE shall, unless prohibited by law, promptly provide written notice thereof to Client so as to permit Client the opportunity to protect its privileges and interests at its own cost and expense. PINE shall take all steps reasonably necessary or appropriate under the circumstances to permit Client to assert all applicable rights and privileges with regard to the requested materials in the appropriate forums, and shall reasonably cooperate with Client in any proceeding relating to the disclosure sought. PINE shall be reimbursed by Client at PINE’s then-standard billing rates for PINE’s time and expenses incurred in connection with responding to such request. If PINE is nonetheless legally required by a court of competent jurisdiction to disclose Confidential Information, PINE may, without liability hereunder, disclose only that portion of the Confidential Information that is legally required to be disclosed, provided that PINE exercises its commercially reasonable efforts to preserve the confidentiality of such disclosed Confidential Information, including, without limitation, by cooperating with Client to obtain an appropriate protective order or other reliable assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded to such Confidential Information. Except to the extent required by applicable law, PINE may not disclose to any third party that a relationship exists between PINE and Client unless PINE receives prior written approval from Client. PINE will not utilize Client’s name in any of its publicity or marketing without prior written approval by Client.

(b) Client acknowledges that the advice, information and documentation provided or prepared by PINE in the performance of the Services may be proprietary to PINE.

Client shall notify PINE of any unauthorized release or access of PINE Confidential Information of which Client has actual knowledge. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Client may disclose PINE Confidential Information (A) to service providers and/or customers of Client who have a need to access such information and who have agreed to confidentiality terms similar to those set forth in this Section 5(b), (B) in consultation with PINE to the extent permitted under law, if required or requested to so by any regulatory authority having jurisdiction over Client or PINE or (C) to the extent required to do so by judicial or administrative process or by applicable law or regulation. For the avoidance of doubt and notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, PINE Confidential Information does not include any Work Product or other Client Confidential Information or information or materials derived therefrom.

(c) Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, PINE shall comply with all privacy and data protection laws and regulations that are or that may in the future be applicable to the Services hereunder. Without limiting the generality of the preceding sentence, PINE agrees that it shall not use or disclose to any third party any nonpublic personal information that it receives from a financial institution in connection with this Agreement, except in accordance with this Agreement. For purposes of this Section 5(c), the terms “nonpublic personal information” and “financial institution” have the meanings set forth in Section 509 of the Xxxxx-Xxxxx-Xxxxxx Act (P.L.106-102) (15 U.S.C. Section 6809) (the “GLB Act”). PINE represents and warrants that it is a nonaffiliated third party that is excepted from the Notice and Opt Out Requirements pursuant to the GLB Act.

(d) PINE shall implement and maintain technical, organizational and physical measures in accordance with generally accepted information security standards for businesses of similar size to Pine and tailored to the type of Client Confidential Information to be protected, to protect Client Confidential Information (including any nonpublic personal information relating to an identifiable natural person contained therein) against threats and hazards to such information, including without limitation accidental or unauthorized disclosure, access, damage, destruction, alteration or loss, and other forms of unlawful processing. Such measures shall be effective to comply with all laws and regulations applicable to Client. PINE further represents, warrants and covenants that it has implemented and will maintain a written information security plan consistent with applicable privacy and data security laws, including 201 C.M.R. 17.00, that specifies measures to mitigate reasonably foreseeable internal and external risks to Client’s Confidential Information.

Upon request of Client, PINE will cooperate with Client to investigate the nature and scope of any Incident and to take all appropriate actions to mitigate, remediate and otherwise respond to such Incident or associated risks. Without limiting the foregoing, Client shall make the final decision on whether and how to notify any relevant clients, customers, investors, prospective investors, employees, consumers, the general public and/or other affected persons of any such Incidents, subject to applicable law.

Ownership of Client Intellectual Property; Work Product.

To the extent that the rights to any such Work Product or Deliverables cannot as a matter of law be assigned to Client, PINE hereby grants Client an exclusive, royalty-free, fully paid-up, fully transferable, fully sublicensable, irrevocable, perpetual, worldwide license to reproduce, copy, distribute, make derivative works based on, use and otherwise exploit such Work Product and Deliverables.

(c) All Work Product and Deliverables that are copyrightable will be considered “works made for hire” under the applicable copyright laws. To the extent that any information or materials that are not Work Product or Deliverables (collectively, “Incorporated Materials”) are contained or incorporated in any Work Product or Deliverable, PINE grants to Client a worldwide, fully paid-up, royalty-free, perpetual, irrevocable, fully sublicensable, fully transferable, non-exclusive license to use and exploit such Incorporated Materials in connection with the Work Product and Deliverables.

Client or to any person, including Client Accounts or investors in Client Accounts, and shall have no duties or liability to the current or future shareholders of Client or its affiliates, any Client Account or any current or future investor in any Client Account or any other third party in connection with its engagement hereunder, all of which are hereby expressly waived.

10.

Nature of Services.

(a) With respect to the Services provided under this Agreement,

(i) Client acknowledges that the Services provided by PINE hereunder do not include any investment management or advisory services or regarding the advisability of purchasing or selling any securities for any Client Account. No provision of this Agreement shall be considered as creating, nor shall any provision create, any obligation on the part of PINE, and PINE is not hereby agreeing, to (i) provide investment advisory, sub-advisory or management services to any Client Account, (ii) furnish any advice or make any recommendations regarding the purchase or sale of securities or other instruments or (iii) render any opinions or recommendations of any kind with respect to purchasing or selling securities or other instruments or to perform any such similar services in connection with providing the Services hereunder.

(ii) The Services provided by PINE hereunder shall consist of advice and consulting services. All non-ministerial actions taken by Client pursuant to the advice provided by PINE shall be subject to the overall discretion, direction, and control of Client and, subject to Section 9(a)(vii) and except for PINE’s obligations and liability arising under or associated with Sections 11(b) and 12, all responsibility for such actions shall remain vested in Client at all times.

(iii) Client acknowledges that PINE is not a public accounting or auditing firm, is not a fiduciary of a public accounting or auditing firm, and does not provide, and the Services provided by PINE hereunder do not include, any public accounting or auditing services or advice. Client acknowledges that PINE is not providing any tax advice and Client shall make all of its own tax decisions.

(iv) Client acknowledges that PINE is not a law firm and is not engaged in rendering, and the Services provided by PINE hereunder do not include, any legal services or legal advice. Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to appoint PINE and its officers, directors and employees as Client’s attorneys, form attorney-client relationships or require the provision of legal advice. Client acknowledges that any attorneys of PINE exclusively represent PINE and Client may not rely on PINE attorneys. Because no attorney-client relationship exists between in-house PINE attorneys and Client, any information provided to PINE or its attorneys may not be protected by attorney-client privilege and may be subject to compulsory disclosure under certain circumstances in which case PINE shall provide Client prior notice of any such disclosure and cooperate fully with Client, should Client desire to defend against such disclosure.

(v) Client acknowledges that PINE is not rendering and will not render, and the Services provided by PINE hereunder do not and will not include, any tax advice. Client will rely solely on the tax advice of its own tax advisors. Any discussion by PINE of any tax matters in the course of, or in connection with, the provision of the Services is not intended to be used, and cannot be used, by any person for the purpose of (i) avoiding tax-related penalties under the Internal Revenue Code or applicable state or local tax law provisions or (ii) promoting, marketing or recommending to another party any tax-related matters.

(vi) Upon approval and appointment by the Board, PINE shall serve as Client’s Chief Compliance Officer and provide those Services as outlined in Appendix A. In doing so, PINE shall ensure applicable state and SEC regulatory requirements are met. PINE shall also provide any advice and

recommendations to Client as is necessary to comply with those requirements, but all decisions in connection with the implementation of PINE’s advice and recommendations shall be and remain the responsibility of the Client; provided that (1) PINE acknowledges that Client intends to rely on the Services, advice and recommendations (as applicable) provided by PINE in furtherance of Client’s satisfaction of its compliance obligations, and (2) PINE shall be responsible for any failure to comply with such requirements that arise out of (x) the fraud, bad faith, Recklessness, Gross Negligence, Willful Misconduct (as such terms are defined below), in each case, with respect to the Services, advice or recommendations provided by PINE, or (y) a material breach of this Agreement by PINE. If the Board of the Client determines that PINE has failed to provide a Chief Compliance Officer that is satisfactory, the Board may, at any time and without penalty or additional fees, terminate the provided Chief Compliance Officer. If such termination occurs, the Client and PINE will amend the Agreement accordingly to reflect a change of Services.

11.

Liabilities.

(a) PINE shall at all times exercise reasonable care and diligence and act in good faith in the performance of its duties hereunder, provided, however, that PINE shall assume no responsibility and shall be without liability for any loss, liability, claim or expense suffered or incurred by Client (including attorney’s fees, disbursements, consequential, indirect, punitive, exemplary or special damages) except to the extent caused by fraud, bad faith, Recklessness, Gross Negligence, Willful Misconduct breach of this Agreement, or other actionable violation of law by PINE. PINE shall be responsible for the performance of only such duties as are set forth in this Agreement or as may be imposed by law and (except as set forth in Section 12) shall have no responsibility for the actions or activities of any other party.

(b) The liability of Client to PINE for any and all claims relating to this Agreement or Services provided by PINE hereunder, whether a claim be in tort, contract, or any other theory of law, and whether by statute or otherwise, shall not, in the aggregate, exceed the total professional fees paid by Client to PINE under this Agreement, except to the extent that it is determined, pursuant to an order of a court of competent jurisdiction that is not subject to a timely filed appeal, that the claim resulted from the fraud, bad faith, Recklessness, Gross Negligence, Willful Misconduct of Client.

(c) Without in any way limiting the generality of the foregoing, neither party shall in any event be liable for, nor shall it be considered a breach by such party of this Agreement with respect to, any loss or damage arising from causes beyond its control, including, without limitation, delay or cessation of Services or other obligations hereunder or any damages to the other party resulting therefrom as a result of any power or other mechanical failure, computer virus, computer hacking, natural disaster, change in law or regulation or other governmental action, Internet outage or outage of other networked environment), act of terrorism, fire, public health crisis, or other cause, whether similar or dissimilar to any of the foregoing, in the case of each of the foregoing, which was not within such party’s control (“Force Majeure Events”).

LIMITATION, RELATED ATTORNEYS’ FEES), WHETHER SUCH LIABILITY IS ASSERTED ON THE BASIS OF CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE, WHETHER OR NOT FORESEEABLE, EVEN IF SUCH PARTY, ITS MEMBERS, OR ITS EMPLOYEES HAVE BEEN ADVISED OR WERE AWARE OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

(e) PINE is authorized and instructed to rely upon the information it receives from Client or its affiliates or any third party agent authorized by Client to provide such information to PINE. Client, its affiliates and any third party agents from which PINE shall receive or obtain certain records, reports and other data related to the Services provided hereunder, are solely responsible for the contents of such information, including, without limitation, the accuracy thereof. PINE has no responsibility to review, confirm or otherwise assume any duty with respect to the accuracy or completeness of any such information and shall be without liability for any loss or damage suffered by Client as a result of PINE’s reasonable reliance on and utilization of such information. PINE shall have no responsibility and shall be without liability for any loss or damage caused by the failure of Client, its affiliates or any third party agent to provide it with the information reasonably requested by PINE pursuant to and in accordance with Section 2(a) above.

(f) PINE shall have no liability for non-compliance by Client with all applicable requirements of any laws, rules and regulations of governmental authorities having jurisdiction over Client, including, for the avoidance of doubt, U.S. securities and/or international tax laws and regulations, as applicable; provided that PINE shall be liable to Client for any such non-compliance that arises out of the fraud, bad faith, Recklessness, Gross Negligence, Willful Misconduct, a breach of this Agreement, or other actionable violation of law by PINE.

For purposes of this Agreement, “Recklessness” means that PINE actually knew its actions would likely result in substantial harm to the Client; “Gross Negligence” means an act or failure to act which materially deviates from a reasonable course of conduct and which evinces a serious or substantial disregard of, or indifference to, the harmful consequences thereof; and “Willful Misconduct” means a wrongful, intentional act or failure to act with intentional disregard of the harm that could result thereof.

Client agrees to indemnify and hold harmless PINE, its officers, directors, contractors, agents and employees (collectively “Consultant”) against all damages, liabilities and costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, to the extent caused by fraud, bad faith, Recklessness, Gross Negligence, Willful Misconduct or a material breach of this Agreement by Client. Neither Client nor Consultant shall be obligated to indemnify the other party in any manner whatsoever for the other party’s own negligence.

The indemnification obligations of this Section 12 shall survive termination of this Agreement.

(b) During the term of this Agreement, and for a period of twelve (12) months after the expiration or termination hereof, PINE and its affiliates shall not, directly or indirectly, either for itself or on behalf of any other firm, person or entity, solicit to employ, employ or retain as a consultant or independent contractor, any person who during the preceding twelve (12) month period was known by PINE or its affiliates to be in the employment of Client or its affiliates.

(c) PINE and Client acknowledge and agree that, due to the uniqueness of the Services to be provided by, and access of, their respective employees, and the confidential nature of the information such employees will possess, the covenants set forth herein are reasonable and necessary for the protection of their business and goodwill. PINE and Client expressly acknowledge the importance to each of them of the covenants set forth in this Section 13 and recognize that each of them would not enter into this Agreement and/or would not permit the access to its services, records or confidential information without the other’s consent hereto.

(d)

The obligations of this Section 13 shall survive termination of this Agreement.

The terms, fees and services provided under this Agreement are subject to review every twelve months by PINE and the Client and can be mutually amended at that time, including the Term can be extended beyond twelve (12) month periods as agreed to by PINE and Client.

(b) For the avoidance of doubt, Client understands and agrees that to the extent, subsequent to the execution of this Agreement, Client hires either internal or external resources to provide services duplicative of those listed in Appendix A hereto, such activity will in no way (i) excuse any payment obligation of Client for fees due under this Agreement as detailed in Appendix B hereto, or (ii) affect in any way the term of this Agreement unless otherwise terminated in accordance herewith.

training as is deemed reasonably necessary and appropriate) and (ii) promptly return to Client any Confidential Information, including, without limitation, the books and records of Client in accordance with Section 1(f).

18.

GOVERNING LAW.

PINE AND CLIENT HEREBY AGREE THAT THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE DEEMED TO HAVE BEEN MADE UNDER AND SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA AND THE STATE OF COLORADO. PINE AND CLIENT FURTHER AGREE THAT SUBJECT TO SECTION 18 HEREOF, ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING WITH RESPECT TO THIS AGREEMENT MAY BE BROUGHT IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE DISTRICT OF COLORADO OR IN THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF COLORADO, AS PINE AND CLIENT, AS THE CASE MAY BE, MAY ELECT, AND, BY THE EXECUTION AND DELIVERY OF THIS AGREEMENT, EACH OF PINE AND CLIENT HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY ACCEPTS WITH REGARD TO ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING THE JURISDICTION OF THE AFORESAID COURTS.

19.

Dispute Resolution.

(a) If any dispute arises under this Agreement, including any dispute as to the enforceability, or not, of this Section 18(a), the parties will make a good faith effort to resolve the dispute before commencing any action, suit, or other proceeding. The parties will meet to discuss the dispute no later than 30 days after either party gives written notice to the other party that such a dispute exists. At such meeting, a partner of PINE and an officer of Client who have authority to resolve the dispute, will be in attendance. No action, suit, or other proceeding may be commenced before the parties have met pursuant to this Section 18(a) to resolve the issue at hand. Both parties recognize that more than one meeting may be required to find a resolution.

(b) The parties hereby agree that if any matter arising under this Agreement, including any matter involving the enforceability, or not, of this Section 18(a), is not settled by meeting pursuant to Section 18(a), such matter shall be resolved by confidential arbitration in the State of Colorado, County of Denver by a single arbitrator experienced in dispute resolution regarding the securities industry in accordance with the Commercial Rules of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”), as amended from time to time. To the extent the parties are unable to agree on a single arbitrator, or in the event that one party does not agree to participate in arbitration, the parties will, within three (3) days of either party’s written demand, each nominate one arbitrator. In the event that both parties comply with the requirement to each nominate one arbitrator, the parties may then mutually agree to use either such arbitrator, but if no agreement is reached within three (3) days of the latter nomination, the two nominated arbitrators will meet and select a third arbitrator, who will arbitrate the dispute. In the event that only one party complies with the requirement of nominating an arbitrator (in the event of a disagreement over the selection of an arbitrator), or if only one party agrees to participate in arbitration in the first instance, then the arbitrator selected by that party shall preside. The arbitrator’s award shall be final and binding upon the parties that are party to the dispute, and judgment upon the award may be entered in any state or federal court of competent jurisdiction in the State of Colorado, or application may be made to such court for a judicial acceptance of the award and an enforcement as the law of such jurisdiction may require or allow. The parties mutually agree that the arbitrator shall have no authority to award punitive, consequential or similar damages to the prevailing party and shall only have authority to award

actual, out-of-pocket losses. The prevailing party shall be entitled to the recovery of its attorneys’ fees and costs incurred in such arbitration. Unless and until a prevailing party is determined by the arbitrator, each party shall bear their own costs of arbitration during the course of the proceedings. Each party retains the right to seek judicial assistance: (i) to compel arbitration; (ii) to obtain interim measures of protection prior to or pending arbitration; (iii) to seek injunctive relief in the courts of any competent jurisdiction as may be necessary or appropriate; and (iv) to enforce any decision of the arbitrator, including the final award. The arbitration proceedings and arbitration award shall be maintained by the parties as strictly confidential, except as is otherwise required by court order or as is necessary to confirm, vacate or enforce the award and for disclosure in confidence to the parties’ respective attorneys, tax advisors and senior management and to family members of a party who is an individual. The parties hereto understand that each party’s right to appeal or to seek modification of rulings in an arbitration is severely limited. The forbearance to enforce an agreement to arbitrate shall not constitute a waiver of any rights under this Agreement except to the extent stated in this Agreement.

20.

Waiver of Jury Trial.

THE PARTIES HEREBY AGREE TO WAIVE THEIR RESPECTIVE RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL OF ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION RELATED TO OR ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT. THE PARTIES EACH ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THE FOREGOING WAIVER IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT FOR EACH PARTY TO ENTER INTO A BUSINESS RELATIONSHIP, THAT EACH PARTY HAS ALREADY RELIED ON THE WAIVER IN ENTERING INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THAT EACH WILL CONTINUE TO RELY ON THE WAIVER IN THEIR RELATED FUTURE DEALINGS. EACH PARTY FURTHER WARRANTS AND REPRESENTS THAT EACH HAS HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO HAVE LEGAL COUNSEL REVIEW THE WAIVER. THE WAIVER IS IRREVOCABLE, MEANING THAT IT MAY NOT BE MODIFIED EITHER ORALLY OR IN WRITING, AND THE WAIVER WILL APPLY TO ANY SUBSEQUENT AMENDMENTS, RENEWALS, SUPPLEMENTS OR MODIFICATIONS TO THIS AGREEMENT.

21.

Amendment; Waiver.

This Agreement shall not be amended except by a writing signed by the parties hereto. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement shall be implied from any course of dealing between the parties or from any failure by either party to assert its or his rights hereunder on any occasion or series of occasions.
