AGREEMENT
APPOINTING SECURITIES TRANSFER CORPORATION
AS TRANSFER AGENT AND REGISTRAR
This Agreement is made this 24th day of June, 2014, between Securities Transfer Corporation, a Texas Corporation, and Foxby Corp., a Maryland corporation (the "Company").
1. Appointment. Securities Transfer Corporation is hereby appointed transfer agent and registrar of the following shares of the Company's stock:
| Class | Par Value Per Share | Number of Shares Authorized | Number of Shares Covered by This Appointment |
| Common | $0.01 | 500,000,000 | 500,000,000 |
| Preferred |
By resolution adopted by the Company's Board of Directors, Securities Transfer Corporation may from time to time be appointed to act in the capacity of dividend disbursing agent, warrant agent, exchange agent, redemption agent, escrow agent or any other similar capacity as may be agreed upon by Securities Transfer Corporation and the Company.
2. Originally Issued Shares. Should the Company elect to issue certificates, Securities Transfer Corporation is hereby authorized originally to issue, register and countersign certificates (that is, certificates not issued upon transfer and cancellation of existing certificates then outstanding) of the Company's stock covered by this appointment upon being furnished with an appropriate written request signed by an officer of the Company, a certified copy of a resolution of the Board of Directors authorizing such original issue and, if specifically requested by Securities Transfer Corporation, an opinion of counsel as described in Paragraph 15 (g)(i),(ii) and (iii), below.
3. Transfer of Outstanding Shares. Securities Transfer Corporation is hereby authorized to accept for transfer any outstanding certificates or uncertificated shares representing the Company's stock covered by this appointment, and, should the Company elect to issue certificates, to issue and countersign new certificates in place thereof, except that Securities Transfer Corporation may refuse to transfer such certificate if it in good faith believes that the certificate, when surrendered for transfer, is not validly or genuinely endorsed or is otherwise not in compliance with law. Securities Transfer Corporation reserves the right to refuse to transfer shares until it is satisfied that the requested transfer is legally authorized and it shall incur no liability for the refusal in good faith to make transfers which it, in its judgment, believes may be improper, unauthorized or for any reason not permitted by law. Securities Transfer Corporation may, in effecting transfers, rely upon Simplification Acts or the Uniform Commercial Code, which it believes, may protect Securities Transfer Corporation and the Company in not requiring complete documentation. In cases in which Securities Transfer Corporation is not directed or otherwise required to maintain the consolidated records of stockholders' accounts, Securities Transfer Corporation shall not be liable for any loss, which may arise by reason of not having such records where it has exercised ordinary diligence. Securities Transfer Corporation shall be under no duty to use a greater degree of diligence by reason of not having such records.
4. Transfer or Cancellation of Treasury Shares. Securities Transfer Corporation is hereby authorized to transfer or cancel certificates or uncertificated shares of the Company's stock covered by this appointment in the name of or belonging to the Treasury of the Company, upon receipt of the certificate(s) endorsed by an officer of the Company, a certified copy of a resolution of the Board of Directors authorizing such endorsement and such transfer or cancellation, and, in the case of a transfer only, an opinion of counsel as described in Paragraph 15(g)(iii), below.
5. Lost or Destroyed Certificates. Securities Transfer Corporation shall be authorized to issue replacement uncertificated shares in book entry form or, should the Company elect to issue certificates, Securities Transfer Corporation may issue new certificates in place of certificates represented to have been lost, stolen or destroyed in accordance with the Board of Directors' resolution described in Paragraph 15 (h), below, upon receiving a bond or other indemnity satisfactory to Securities Transfer Corporation. Securities Transfer Corporation is further authorized in its discretion to issue replacement uncertificated shares in book entry form or, should the Company elect to issue certificates, a new certificate in exchange for, and upon surrender of, an identifiable mutilated certificate.
1
6. Delivery of Certificates by Mail. Securities Transfer Corporation is hereby authorized to forward stock certificates, Scripps and warrants of the Company by mail in accordance with the terms of a blanket bond or other satisfactory indemnity covering non-receipt of such mailed instruments. Said bond shall name, directly or indirectly, the Company and Securities Transfer Corporation as obligees.
In the event of the non-receipt of such certificates mailed by Securities Transfer Corporation, the Company hereby authorizes the issuance of new certificates for a like amount in place thereof upon receipt of a properly executed affidavit and proof of loss provided for under said blanket bond and the issuance by the surety company of an assumption of the loss under said blanket bond, all without further action or approval of the Board of Directors or the officers of the Company.
7. Unclaimed or Undelivered Stock Certificates. Where a stock certificate, for any reason, is in the possession of Securities Transfer Corporation and has not been claimed by the registered holder or cannot be delivered to the registered holder through usual channels, Securities Transfer Corporation may, after the expiration of two years from the date said certificate was issued, return said certificate to the Company to be held by the Company for the registered holder or transferred in accordance with applicable laws or create a book entry account for such holder for such stock and cancel the certificate.
8. Books and Records. Securities Transfer Corporation is hereby authorized to establish and maintain such books of the Company as may be required in the performance of its agency, and to establish and maintain stock ledgers for the Company and to make entries therein of all uncertificated shares and certificates issued, canceled and transferred. In case of any request or demand for the inspection of such stock books, Securities Transfer Corporation will obtain prior approval from the Company and secure instructions as to permitting or refusing such inspection. Securities Transfer Corporation reserves the right however, to exhibit the stock books to any person if it is advised by its counsel that it may be held liable for the failure to exhibit the stock books to such person.
9. Instructions, Opinions of Counsel and Signatures. At any time, Securities Transfer Corporation may apply to an officer of the Company for instructions or information, and may consult counsel for the Company or its own counsel, in respect to any matter arising in connection with the agency, and it shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted by it in good faith in accordance with such instructions, information or the advice or opinion of such counsel. Securities Transfer Corporation shall be protected in acting upon any paper or document reasonably believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed by the proper person or persons and shall not be held to have notice of any change of authority of any person, until receipt of written notice thereof from the Company. It shall also be protected in recognizing stock certificates, which it reasonably believes, bear the proper manual or facsimile signatures of the officers of the Company and the proper counter-signature of a transfer agent or registrar, or of a co-transfer agent or co-registrar. Securities Transfer Corporation may rely conclusively, for any and all purposes, upon any advice of transfers given by the Company or its counsel made in the course of transfer or representing original issuance’s, retirements or cancellation of shares; upon advice of stop transfer orders placed, released or in effect against outstanding certificates; and upon any certification or notification as to the number of shares issued, the certificates representing such shares and other information which Securities Transfer Corporation may receive from time to time. It shall be protected in relying upon all information contained in Exhibit A hereto or otherwise supplied to Securities Transfer Corporation by the Company in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.
10. Indemnification. Each of Securities Transfer Corporation and the Company shall not be liable for any act or omission in connection with this agreement except for its own negligence or willful misconduct. Each of the Company and Securities Transfer Corporation assumes full responsibility and will indemnify each other and save each other harmless from and against any and all actions or suits, whether groundless or otherwise, and from and against any and all losses, damages, costs, charges, counsel fees, payments, expenses and liabilities arising out of the agency relationship, where the other party has acted without negligence and without willful misconduct. Neither Securities Transfer Corporation nor the Company shall be under any obligation to prosecute any action or suit in respect of any agency relationship, which, in its sole judgment, may involve it in expense or liability. In any action or suit each of the Company and Securities Transfer Corporation shall, as often as requested, furnish the other party with satisfactory indemnity against any expense or liability growing out of such action or suit by or against such party.
11. Previous Transfer Agent. Securities Transfer Corporation shall not be responsible for any discrepancies in its records or between its records and those of the Company if it is a successor transfer agent or successor registrar unless no discrepancy existed in the records of the Company and any predecessor transfer agent or predecessor registrar.
Securities Transfer Corporation agrees to exercise reasonable diligence in converting the records and information of any such previous stock transfer agent to Securities Transfer Corporations' system, and in researching the records of any such previous stock transfer agent to identify and resolve errors and discrepancies contained therein.
2
12. Compliance with Law. Securities Transfer Corporation may, without liability to the Company, refuse to perform any act in connection with this agreement where in good faith reliance upon the opinion of its counsel, it believes in good faith that such act may subject it or its officers or employees to criminal liability under any law of any state or of the United States and, in particular, under the Securities Act of 1933.
13. Stock Certificates and Signatures. Should the Company elect to issue stock certificates, the Company shall furnish Securities Transfer Corporation with a sufficient supply of blank stock certificates and from time to time will renew such supply upon the request of Securities Transfer. Such blank stock certificates shall be properly signed by officers of the Company authorized by law or by the Company's bylaws to sign stock certificates and, if required, shall bear the corporate seal or facsimile thereof.
The Company shall file promptly with Securities Transfer Corporation written notice of any change in the officers authorized to sign stock certificates, written instructions or requests, together with specimen signature of each newly authorized officer. In case any officer of the Company who shall have properly signed blank stock certificates shall die, resign or be removed prior to the issuance of such certificates, Securities Transfer Corporation as transfer agent and/or as registrar may issue or register such stock certificates as the stock certificates of the Company notwithstanding such death, resignation, or removal; and the Company shall file promptly with Securities Transfer Corporation such approval, adoption or ratification as may be required by law.
