Reports of Account. Wahed may, but is not obligated to, issue separate written reports regarding the Accounts to Client. These reports may include a list of current holdings, performance data, statement of gains and losses, or a financial markets summary. Clients are urged to compare any reports received from Wahed to the statements received from Custodian. Clients will receive transaction confirmations from Custodian shortly after executing purchases and sales. Additionally, Custodian will send statements to Client at least quarterly.

ERISA Representations. This Section applies if Client is an “employee benefit plan” within the meaning of Section 3(3) of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”) (the “Benefit Plan”). If Client has engaged Wahed with respect to a Benefit Plan covered by this Agreement, Client appoints Wahed, and Wahed accepts its appointment, as an “investment manager” for purposes of ERISA and the Code, and Wahed acknowledges that it is a “fiduciary” within the meaning of Section 3(21) of ERISA and Section 4957(e) (3) of the Code (but only with respect to the provision of services described in Section 1 of this Agreement).
If requested by Wahed, Client agrees to provide Wahed with true and complete copies of all documents establishing and governing the Benefit Plans and evidencing Client’s authority to retain Wahed.
Client represents that:

a.

Its retention of Wahed is authorized under the terms of the Benefit Plan.

b.

It has independently determined that the retention of Wahed by Client satisfies all applicable requirements of ERISA Section 404(a)(1), including the “prudent man” standards of ERISA Section 404(a)(1)(B) and the “diversification” standard of ERISA Section 404(a)(1)(C), and will not be prohibited under applicable provisions of ERISA Section 406 or Section 4975(c)(1) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Accounts contain assets that represent only a portion of the plan’s assets, Client understands that Wahed will have no responsibility for the diversification of all the plan’s assets, and that Wahed will have no duty, responsibility or liability for plan assets that are not invested in the Account.

c.

It has requested and received all information from Wahed that Client, after due inquiry, considered relevant to the foregoing determinations.

d.

It shall notify Wahed promptly in writing of any change in circumstance that could reasonably be anticipated to affect Client’s authority under any Benefit Plan.

e.

It has made all required determinations under the Benefit Plan documents that the investment strategy followed by Wahed is consistent with any restrictions or limitations established in the Benefit Plan documents including those, if any, relating to asset allocation, diversification and restricted securities. Wahed is not responsible and will not be held liable for the notification of Wahed’s investment strategy to Benefit Plan participants as defined by ERISA which responsibility shall be borne by the Benefit Plan sponsor or representative, or any agent other than Wahed, that the Benefit Plan sponsor so designates.

f.

A fidelity bond meeting the requirements Section 412 of ERISA and the regulations issued thereunder is currently maintained and that Wahed will be added as a fiduciary covered by such fidelity bond. Client agrees to provide satisfactory evidence of such coverage if requested by Wahed.

g.

It agrees to immediately notify Wahed of any amendments to the Benefit Plan or to the investment strategy or guidelines applicable to the Benefit Plan that may affect Wahed’s duties and responsibilities hereunder.

g.

It acknowledges and agrees that the information contained in this Agreement satisfies the notice and disclosure requirements of Section 408(b)(2) of ERISA and regulations issued thereunder.

Client further acknowledges the representations set forth in Exhibit A, which is incorporated herein by reference.
In the event that Client constitutes a Benefit Plan, Wahed represents and agrees (i) that it is duly registered as an investment adviser with the Securities and Exchange Commission, (ii) that it will maintain this registration status at all times during the term of this Agreement, and (iii) that it acknowledges its role as a “fiduciary”, as defined in Section 3(21)(A)(ii) of ERISA, with respect to Client and it will provide services under this Agreement with that degree of prudence, care, diligence and skill which a prudent person rending similar services as an investment adviser would exercise under similar circumstances. The provisions of this Agreement shall not be construed to imply any other obligation on the part of Wahed to observe any other standard of care. Except as required by ERISA, Wahed shall not be liable for the acts or omission of any other person, including but not limited to any acts or omissions of Client’s Benefit Plan sponsor or any other fiduciary of Client.

Proxies, Legal Proceedings, and Class Action Lawsuits. Wahed, unless and until otherwise directed by the Client and in a manner consistent with, and subject to, the policies and procedures set forth on Exhibit B hereto (the “Proxy Guidelines”), will exercise all rights of security holders with respect to securities held in the Accounts, including, but not limited to: voting proxies, converting, tendering, exchanging or redeeming securities; participating as a claimant in class action litigation (including litigation with respect to securities previously held) when provided notice of such litigation, and exercising rights in the context of a bankruptcy or other reorganizations.

Solicitation. Wahed may, from time to time, provide economic benefits, such as a reduction or waiver of Wahed investment management fees to clients for their referral of family and friends who become clients of Wahed. If Client engages in any referral activities and/or receives any economic benefits from Wahed for such referral activities, Client covenants, represents and warrants: (i) it is not subject to any disciplinary actions as those stated in Rule 206(4)-3(A)(1)(ii) under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 and/or any applicable state law, and (ii) it will abide by such reasonable instructions or directions that Wahed may provide from time to time. If Client were referred by a friend, family member or any other person engaging in referral activities for Wahed, Client hereby acknowledges that it has received a document detailing the disclosure required under Rule 206(4)-3 under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 and hereby further acknowledges that any such referral does not constitute an endorsement of Wahed for any purpose.

Communications. Client updates or changes to financial circumstances with respect to Accounts may be communicated to Wahed via the Site and, where deemed necessary, may be confirmed via Client Account Profile exclusively in writing as soon as practicable thereafter.

Client Data. Except as provided herein or in Wahed’s Privacy Policy, as amended from time to time (which is hereby incorporated by reference), or otherwise agreed to in writing by Client or as required by law, Wahed will not share information regarding Client’s personal and financial affairs (“Client Data”) with any third party, and Wahed will use commercially reasonable measures designed to protect Client Data from unauthorized access or disclosure.
Client authorizes and empowers Wahed to give a copy of this Agreement to any Custodian or other party to transactions for the Accounts as evidence of Wahed’s authority to issue instructions, request information about the Accounts from Custodian and to act for Client. Client also authorizes Wahed to disclose any personal or financial information to service providers including without limitation custodians or other broker- dealers and their affiliates, third party managers and their affiliates, account display, performance, or aggregation service providers, and parties maintaining or servicing customer relationship management software or websites. Client acknowledges that it has received and reviewed Wahed’s Privacy Policy and consents to the collection, use and disclosure of Client Data as set forth herein and in the Privacy Policy.

Tax Risks. Nothing in this Agreement or any other document received from Wahed shall be construed as providing any legal, accounting, estate, actuary, or tax advice. Client agrees to review publicly available information regarding the securities and the brokerage statements, transaction confirmations and tax reporting forms provided by the Custodian for tax-related information. Each Client must rely upon its own representatives, including its own legal counsel and accountant, as to legal, tax and related matters concerning any assets in the Account or any Account transactions and for preparation of any legal, accounting or tax documents.
The taxation of securities transactions is extremely complex and no attempt is made herein to fully describe the various tax rules that apply to such transactions or to explain in complete detail the rules which are mentioned. However, some general points may be noted. Any sales, exchanges or dispositions of securities may have U.S. federal, state, local and non-U.S. income tax consequences for Client and may result in Client having to pay additional income taxes. An ETF may take many forms for U.S. federal income tax purposes, including a grantor trust, regulated investment company, or real estate investment trust, each of which has special tax considerations for U.S. taxable, tax- exempt and non-U.S. investors. An investment in a non-U.S. security, such a non-U.S. ETF, may have adverse tax consequences for certain U.S. Clients. For example, a non-U.S. ETF may constitute a “passive foreign investment company” and there is no assurance that Clients would be able to make a “qualified electing fund” election. Non- U.S. Clients may be subject to withholding tax on certain U.S. source payments received with respect to securities held in their Account. Clients may have a variety of tax reporting obligations with respect to certain securities, including the filing of a FinCEN Form 114 and/or Internal Revenue Service Form 8621, among other filing and reporting obligations. It is possible that in certain circumstances Client may incur taxable income on their investments without a cash distribution to pay the tax due. Each Client should confer with their personal tax advisor regarding the tax consequences of investing with Wahed based on their particular circumstances. Client and Client’s tax advisors are responsible for how the transactions in Client’s Account are reported to the Internal Revenue Service or any other taxing authority. Wahed assumes no responsibility to Client for the tax consequences of any transaction.

Non-Exclusive Contract. Client acknowledges that Wahed provides advisory services to more than one client, and may give advice, and take action, with respect to any of its other clients which may differ from the advice given, or the timing or nature of action taken, with respect to Client’s Accounts, so long as it is Wahed’s policy, to the extent practicable, to allocate investment opportunities to Client’s Accounts over a period of time and on an equitable basis relative to other clients. Wahed has no obligation to disclose to Client the purchase or sale of any security which Wahed, its principals, affiliates, or employees may purchase or sell for its (their) own account or for the accounts of other clients. Client acknowledges that the Wrap Fee charged to Client may be higher or lower than that which Wahed charges other clients for the same or similar services, and that lower fees for similar services may be available from other sources.

Term and Termination. This Agreement shall commence on the date of acceptance by Wahed as shown below and shall continue until terminated in accordance with the provisions of this Section or any other provision of this Agreement. This Agreement may be terminated by either party with or without cause by notice to the other party, which notice shall be provided by Client to Wahed through the Site and by Wahed to Client through the primary e-mail address in Client’s Account Application as Client shall update from time to time. Client’s withdrawal of all of the Accounts under this Agreement will terminate this Agreement. Upon receipt of termination request, Wrap Fees will be calculated to the date of termination and assessed in accordance with the agreed upon rate. Unearned portions of prepaid fees will be refunded and any earned, unpaid fees will be assessed prior to the final disbursement of refunds, if any. Refund disbursements or fee invoices will be mailed to Client within thirty (30) business days of receipt of termination notice. Client understands that Wahed will not provide services in the event uncollected accounts-receivable from Client exceeds thirty (30) days. In addition, all custodial termination and transfer fees, if any, assessed by Custodian will be the responsibility of Client. Termination of this Agreement will not affect (a) the validity of any action previously taken by Wahed under this Agreement; (b) liabilities or obligations of the parties from transactions initiated before termination of this Agreement; or (c) Client’s obligation to pay advisory fees (pro-rated through the date of termination). Upon termination of this Agreement, Wahed shall perform no functions whatsoever with respect to the managing of the Accounts, and further management of those accounts shall be the sole responsibility of Client.

Mediation/Arbitration. This Agreement contains a mediation and arbitration clause. Excepting matters for injunctive relief, it is agreed that all controversies or disputes which may arise between Client and Wahed (and/or the Custodian, sub-advisors, or representatives), concerning any transaction or order, the construction, performance, or breach of Agreement or any other Agreement between Client and Wahed, whether entered into prior to, on, or subsequent to the date of this Agreement, including any controversy concerning whether an issue is an arbitration claim, shall be settled either by mediation instituted at the request of either party, or if not resolved by mediation, by arbitration, unless unenforceable under applicable state or federal law. Any mediation or arbitration will be held in New York, New York unless otherwise agreed to by both parties. Any arbitration shall be conducted in accordance with the applicable rules of Complex Commercial Disputes of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) and the Laws of the State of New York. Judgment on any arbitration award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction over the subject matter of the controversy.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, this binding arbitration clause in no way limits or affects Client’s rights under the Investment Adviser’s Act or related state securities laws. With respect to controversies or disputes which may arise between Client and Wahed concerning matters involving alleged violations of applicable federal and state securities laws, breach of common law or statutory duty, this mediation and arbitration process does not constitute a waiver of any legal rights provided under the aforementioned laws, including the right to choose a forum, whether by arbitration or adjudication, in which to seek the resolution of disputes.

Risk Acknowledgement. Wahed will use its best judgment and good faith efforts in rendering services to Client. Wahed’s investment selections on behalf of Client shall not constitute legal or tax advice, analysis or opinion. Wahed does not guarantee future performance or any specific performance, success of any investment decision or strategy that Wahed may use, or success of Wahed’s overall management of the Accounts. Client understands that investment decisions by Wahed are subject to various markets, currency, economic, political, and business risks, and investment decisions will not always be profitable. Wahed will provide advice only with respect to the securities, cash, and other investments held in the Accounts and, in making recommendations for Accounts, Wahed will not consider any other securities, cash or other investments owned by Client.

Liability of Wahed. Except as otherwise provided by applicable law, Wahed will not be liable to Client for (a) any loss that Client may suffer by reason of any investment decisions made or other action taken or omitted in good faith by Wahed with a degree of care, skill, prudence, and diligence under the circumstances that a prudent person acting in a fiduciary capacity would use; (b) any loss arising from Wahed’s adherence to Client’s written or oral instructions or restrictions; (c) any act or failure to act by Custodian to which Wahed directs transactions for Accounts, or by any other third party; (d) the loss or failure or delay in performance of any obligation under this Agreement arising out of or caused, directly or indirectly, by circumstances beyond Wahed’s reasonable control, including, without limitation, acts of God, earthquakes, fires, floods, wars, terrorism, civil or military disturbances, sabotage, epidemics, riots, interruptions, loss or malfunctions of utility, telecommunications, computer software or hardware,transportation or communication service, accidents, labor disputes, acts of civil or military authority, governmental, regulatory authority or securities exchanges actions, the inability to obtain labor, material, equipment, or transportation and a custodian refusing to act on Wahed’s instructions; or (e) any indirect, special, incidental, or consequential damages. Client (and in addition, for entity accounts, Client Representative) shall indemnify and defend Wahed and Wahed’s directors, officers, shareholders, employees and affiliates and hold them harmless from and against any and all claims, losses, damages, liabilities and expenses, as they are incurred, by reason of any act or omission of Client or broker or any custodian, broker, agent or other third party selected by Wahed in a commercially reasonable manner or selected by Client. Under certain circumstances, federal and state securities statutes impose liabilities on persons who act in good faith, and therefore, nothing in this Agreement will waive or limit any rights that Client may have under those statutes.

Legal Proceedings. Client agrees that Wahed will not advise or act for Client in any legal proceedings, including bankruptcies or class actions, involving securities held or previously held by Client in the Accounts or by issuers of securities.

Wahed’s Registration Status. Wahed is registered as an investment adviser with the Securities and Exchange Commission and may also, from time to time, become registered in other jurisdictions as required by law. Registration does not imply a certain level of skill or training.

Independent Contractor. Wahed is and will hereafter act as an independent contractor and not as an employee of Client, and nothing in this Agreement may be interpreted or construed to create any employment, partnership, joint venture or other relationship between Wahed and Client.

Client acknowledges and agrees that electronic communication from Wahed will include, among other things, email delivery, and/or the electronic communication of Account Communications pertaining to Client via Wahed’s website and Client acknowledges and agrees that such email delivery and electronic provision shall be deemed delivery. Client acknowledges and agrees that is Client’s affirmative obligation to notify Wahed in writing of any changes to Client’s email address. With respect to e-mail delivery of Account Communication, Client understands that e-mail messages may sometimes fail to transmit properly, including being delivered to SPAM folders.

Regardless of whether or not Client receives an e-mail notification, Client agrees to check Wahed’s website on a regular basis for current information and to avoid missing any information that is time- sensitive.

b.

Wahed shall not be liable for any interception by any third party of Account Communications. Client acknowledges and agrees that, although Wahed will not charge additional amounts for electronic delivery, Client may incur charges from its internet service provider or other third parties in connection with the delivery and receipt of Account Communications delivered electronically. In addition, Client understands that there are risks associated with electronic delivery of Account Communications, including the risk of system outages or interruptions, which risks may, among other things, inhibit or delay Client’s receipt of Account Communications.

Through Wahed’s website, Client will have access to an archive of all documents received via electronic delivery for a period of three (3) years.

Subject to the terms of this Agreement, Client may revoke or restrict consent to electronic delivery of Account Communication at any time by notifying Wahed in writing of Client’s intention to do so.

Client understands that if it revokes or restricts consent to electronic delivery of Account Communications or requests paper delivery of the same, Wahed, in its sole discretion, may: (i) charge Client a reasonable service fee for the delivery of any Account Communications that would otherwise be delivered to Client electronically, and/or (ii) restrict or close the Account. Client understands that neither the revocation or restriction of consent, request for paper delivery, nor Wahed’s delivery of paper copies of Account Communications will affect the legal effectiveness or validity of any electronic communication provided while Client’s consent is in effect.

e.

Client’s consent to receive electronic delivery of Account Communications will be effective immediately and will remain in effect unless and until either Client or Wahed revokes consent per Section 33(d) above.

In all other aspects, Agreement will continue and remain in full force and effect. No term or provision of Agreement may be waived or changed except in writing signed by the party against whom such waiver or change is sought to be enforced. Wahed’s failure to insist at any time on strict compliance with this Agreement or with any terms of this Agreement or any continued course of such conduct on its part will not constitute or be considered a waiver by Wahed of any of its rights or privileges. This Agreement contains the entire understanding between Client and Wahed concerning the subject matter of this Agreement.

Electronic Signature. Client consents and agrees that his or her use of a keypad, mouse, or other device to select an item, button, icon, or similar act/action while accessing or making any transactions regarding any agreement, acknowledgment, consent, terms, disclosures, or conditions constitutes Client’s electronic signature, acceptance, and agreement under the federal E-SIGN legislation and that such electronic signature will meet the requirements of an original signature as if actually signed by Client in writing. Further, Client agrees that no certification authority or other third-party verification is necessary to the enforceability of his or her signature or any resulting contract between Client and Wahed. At the request of Wahed, any electronically signed document must be promptly re-executed in original form by Client who executed the electronically signed document.
