Aquitaine shall be at liberty to provide support and services of an identical or similar nature to the Services and any other services to any other person, firm, company or other body without being under any obligation to account for any profit arising thereby or inform the Client or Entity that Aquitaine is providing such services. 3.3 Aquitaine may at any time in its sole discretion act or omit to act in relation to the Services (upon so advising the Client) and Aquitaine shall not be liable to any person or entity for such exercise of its discretion. 3.4 Aquitaine may in its discretion accept from the Client either directly or indirectly (or from any person nominated in writing by the Client) advice, recommendations and requests for action which it believes to be genuine, whether received orally or in written form (including electronically or by facsimile).

Details of Services 4.1 Where the Services include the provision of the majority of the directors to a company (which may or may not be the Entity), Aquitaine shall arrange the day-to-day administration of the affairs of that company, and shall be granted control over all the assets of that company. In the absence of any specific agreement with the Client or that company, Aquitaine will maintain such books of account and arrange for the preparation of such financial statements in connection with the affairs of that company as required by Law. Aquitaine shall ensure compliance by that company with its Memorandum and Articles of Incorporation or equivalent document. 4.2 Where the Services include the provision of a company secretary to a company (which may or may not be the Entity), Aquitaine shall: 4.2.1 conduct day-to-day administration on behalf of that company in accordance with the overall instructions of its directors; 4.2.2 maintain appropriately according to the appropriate Law the corporate records and the statutory administration of that company in order to keep that company in good legal standing at the appropriate company registry (provided

The Client further acknowledges that short form accounts may not give sufficient detail to enable a full appreciation of all financial transactions occurring in the reporting period. 4.9 4.9.1 Except where Aquitaine has provided or procured members of the board of directors of an Entity Aquitaine shall not be bound or required to interfere in the management or conduct of the business of any such Entity. In addition, so long as Aquitaine has no actual notice of any act of dishonesty or misappropriation of monies or property on the part of the directors of the Entity, Aquitaine may leave the conduct of its business (including the payment or non-payment of dividends or distributions) wholly to the directors. 4.9.2 The Client acknowledges that Aquitaine is subject to statutory customer due diligence obligations and the Client therefore undertakes to make all documents available to Aquitaine at any time that pertain to the Entity s business. This applies in particular for documents that Aquitaine requires in order to fulfil its obligations under the applicable due diligence Laws. 4.9.3 This clause shall apply not only to the Entity and to all other entities owned or controlled (whether partly or wholly, directly or indirectly) by such Entity. 4.10 Subject to the terms of any trust instrument Aquitaine need not diversify the investment of the trust assets, nor shall Aquitaine be liable for the consequences of investing, or keeping the trust assets invested, in the shares or obligations of a single business, company, firm or Entity, or in one asset or one type of asset.

5 Information 5.1 For the purpose of providing the Services Aquitaine may keep a record of: 5.1.1 the Client, the beneficial owners of the Entity, any settlor (if not the Client) and the beneficiaries provided to Aquitaine prior to and in connection with this Agreement including sensitive personal data ; and 5.1.2 any other information provided in relation to the Entity, (information set out in clauses 5.1.1 and 5.1.2 being the Data ). 5.2 The Client, in its capacity as settlor and otherwise, consents to Aquitaine processing the Data in accordance with applicable data protection Law and to transfer the Data: 5.2.1 to any banking or other institutions with whom Aquitaine conducts business in connection with the Entity or the provision of the Services; 5.2.2 to accountants, auditors, legal and other advisers, directors or agents who render any service in connection with the Services to be provided under this Agreement; 5.2.3 as is required for the proper provision of the Services; 5.2.4 as is required for the proper trusteeship or protectorship of the Trust; 5.2.5 as is required in order to provide third party financial institutions or other service providers with which relationships are initiated or maintained with due diligence information in connection with their client verification or other procedures; or 5.2.6 as is required by applicable Law. 5.3 The permission given in clause 5.2 shall remain in effect notwithstanding the death of the Client, unless and until revoked in writing by the Client s personal representative (executor or administrator). Aquitaine is also entitled to transfer the Data to recipients as described above in countries that do not have regulations, confidentiality and data protection Laws comparable to the data protection laws of Guernsey. 5.4 Where Aquitaine processes the data of a data subject other than the Client and the applicable data protection Law requires the consent of that data subject to such processing then the Client and Aquitaine shall use reasonable endeavours to obtain the consent of that data subject to such processing. 5.5 Aquitaine shall, on the request of the Client, forward to the Client or its duly authorised representatives and/or advisers such information on the Entity and its affairs as the Client or its duly authorised representatives is entitled to receive under the relevant Law. 6. Client Warranties 6.1 The Client agrees and expressly warrants to the best of his knowledge: 6.1.1 that any instructions or requests given to Aquitaine, if complied with, will not cause Aquitaine to infringe any applicable Law or the rules or regulations of any applicable regulatory or governmental authority; 6.1.2 that all information supplied by or on behalf of or with the knowledge of the Client to Aquitaine in connection with the Entity and the Services before the date hereof and afterwards is and will be accurate and disclose a fair and true picture of the facts to which it relates (to an appropriate extent); 6.1.3 that neither the Entity s assets nor any assets to be settled in to the Trust (as applicable) represent the proceeds of any crime; 6.1.4 not to sell, exchange or pledge or in any other way dispose of his interest in the Entity without first giving Aquitaine thirty (30) days prior written notice; 6.1.5 that the Entity is able to meet its outgoings and expenses to third parties as they fall due, is solvent at the date hereof and is able to meet its liabilities to existing, actual and contingent personal creditors; 6.1.6 that the Client is able meet its outgoings and expenses to third parties as they fall due, is solvent at the date hereof and, notwithstanding the establishment of the Entity, is able to meet its liabilities to existing, actual and contingent personal creditors; 6.1.7 that all assets transferred to the Entity are unencumbered property unless otherwise disclosed to Aquitaine; and 6.1.8 that it shall advise Aquitaine in a timely manner of all changes in residence, citizenship, profession or business activity of the Client and any beneficiaries of a trust or of any other changes of which Aquitaine should be aware to enable Aquitaine to comply with any applicable law.

7. Indemnities 7.1 Where Aquitaine provides Corporate Services the Client shall be liable to Aquitaine not only as guarantor but also as principal for: 7.1.1 the fees charged by Aquitaine for the Services; and 7.1.2 all disbursements and out of pocket expenses reasonably incurred by Aquitaine in performing the Services, including but not limited to all statutory, filing, tax, agency, ancillary and other fees incurred by the Entity. 7.2 Where Aquitaine provides Trust Services, the Client shall be liable not only as guarantor but also as principal for the fees charged by Aquitaine for the Services and shall indemnify Aquitaine for the fees in the event that such fees cannot be met from the assets of the Trust and agrees that in addition to any lien or right of security conferred by applicable Law Aquitaine shall have a lien over all assets, records and papers of the Trust or related to the Trust and in the possession of Aquitaine and Aquitaine s agents whilst any amount due (from fees or otherwise) remain unpaid to Aquitaine. 7.3 Aquitaine shall not be obliged to incur any expense due to any third party or commence any legal action on behalf of the Entity or the Client unless fully indemnified in a form and amount satisfactory to Aquitaine for such expenses and other costs and liabilities. 7.4 The Client hereby covenants with Aquitaine and as a separate covenant with the trustee of the Trust and the Indemnified Parties, at all times fully and effectually that it will indemnify and hold harmless: 7.4.1 each corporate entity which forms part of Aquitaine; and 7.4.2 each of the Indemnified Parties; against any and all Liabilities whatsoever for or in respect of which Aquitaine or the Indemnified Party may be or become liable: 7.4.3 in connection with the performance of the Services; 7.4.4 in connection with any loss of profit or other adverse consequence sustained by the Entity, the assets of the Entity or the Client arising in the situations contemplated in clause 7.5 below; and 7.4.5 howsoever arising as a result, whether directly or indirectly, of Aquitaine accepting instructions or requests given by letter, telephone, telex, facsimile, e-mail or any other means of communication with or without authentication, save that such indemnity shall not extend to acts or omissions amounting to fraud, wilful misconduct or gross negligence on the part of Aquitaine or the Indemnified Party: 7.5 Subject to the terms of any trust instrument Aquitaine shall not be liable for loss or loss of profit or other adverse consequences sustained by the Entity, the assets of the Entity or the Client arising out of: 7.5.1 the holding or sale of any investment by the Entity; 7.5.2 the holding or sale of any investment which forms or formed an asset of the Entity; or 7.5.3 failure to act, and error of judgement or oversight or mistake in Law on the part of Aquitaine or any duly appointed advisor or agent of Aquitaine providing the Services in good faith save where such loss or adverse consequence arises as a result of fraud, wilful misconduct or gross negligence on the part of Aquitaine. 7.6 With regard to telephone, telex, facsimile, e-mail or other instructions or requests subsequently confirmed in writing, should there be a conflict between Aquitaine s interpretation of the telephone, telex, facsimile, e-mail or other instructions or requests and the written instructions or requests later received then Aquitaine shall be entitled to rely on the telephone, telex, facsimile, e-mail or other instructions or requests it first believed that it had received without any liability for mistake or error. 7.7 The Client shall, through the Entity or otherwise, bear any loss or damage which results from the reliance by Aquitaine upon any false, contradictory, forged or otherwise legally deficient advice, recommendation or request for action apparently from the Client or apparently from any person nominated by the Client as referred to above. 7.8 The indemnities in this clause 7 are in addition but subject to and shall not override the indemnities contained (where the Entity is a Trust) within the Trust Documentation or (in the case of an Entity other than a Trust) in the memorandum and articles of incorporation, limited partnership agreement or other constitutional documents or (in all cases) given by a third party (including but not limited to the beneficiaries, beneficial owners, shareholders or directors of the Entity). 7.9 Where Aquitaine reasonably considers that the indemnities given in this Agreement are insufficient and requests further indemnities or security from: 7.9.1 the Client, then the Client shall negotiate with Aquitaine in good faith with the intent that Aquitaine shall either be provided with such indemnities or other security as Aquitaine requires or that Aquitaine be satisfied that such additional indemnity or security is not required; or

7.9.2 any other person (including, for the avoidance of doubt but not limited to, a corporate person) then the Client will use its reasonable endeavours to obtain such indemnities or security as Aquitaine reasonably requires from such third party. Until such further indemnities are given, security provided or Aquitaine is satisfied that such further indemnities or security is not needed Aquitaine shall not be required to perform any of the Services if, in its absolute discretion, it considers such performance exposes it to Liabilities against which it is not sufficiently indemnified. 7.10 Where Aquitaine accepts a proposal from the Client and a third party jointly to administer an Entity or agrees with the Client and a third party to provide the Services, the Client acknowledges that the liability of the Client to Aquitaine will be joint and several with such third party and that in the event either the Client or the third party defaults in their obligations to Aquitaine, the other of them will be liable to Aquitaine to the full extent of their joint liability, and in the event either the Client or such third party dies, the survivor of them will be liable to Aquitaine to the full extent of their joint liability. 7.11 The provisions of this clause 7 shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding the termination of this Agreement and shall continue in full force and effect for the benefit of an Indemnified Party notwithstanding that the Indemnified Party is no longer an officer, employee of or person appointed by Aquitaine. 8. Limit of Liability Except in the case of fraudulent acts the total collective liability of Aquitaine, its agents and delegates, the directors, officers or employees of Aquitaine and the personal representatives of such directors, other officers and employees under these Standard Terms in contract, tort (including negligence) or otherwise for any losses, damages, costs and expenses whatsoever and howsoever caused (including interest) shall be limited in the aggregate to the greater of two times the remuneration payable under clause 9 hereof and 5,000,000. 9. Remuneration 9.1 The Client shall pay Aquitaine for the Services in accordance with a Fee Schedule agreed between the Parties and forming part of the Agreement or in the absence of a Fee Schedule in accordance with Aquitaine s published scale of fees with Aquitaine having the power to vary its charges in accordance with any new scale of fees in force from time to time. 9.2 The Client shall ensure that Aquitaine is reimbursed for all disbursements and out of pocket expenses incurred by Aquitaine on behalf of the Entity, the Client or in performing the Services. 9.3 Where Aquitaine is providing Trust Services Aquitaine shall, to the extent permitted by the Trust Documentation and applicable Law, be remunerated or reimbursed out of the assets of the Trust without the prior consent of the Client. 9.4 It is intended that Aquitaine s remuneration and the reimbursement under this clause 9 shall be paid by or on behalf of the Entity or from the assets of the Entity (subject to the limitation noted in clause 9.3 above). If this is not possible, not forthcoming or if there is a shortfall then the Client shall pay such outstanding amount of remuneration and reimbursement not only as guarantor but as principal in accordance with clauses 7.1, 7.2 and 9.2 above. 9.5 The Client waives any and all rights it may have under the droit de division and the droit de discussion (being customary Guernsey law rights) in respect of payments due under this Agreement. 9.6 If any invoice rendered by Aquitaine is not paid within one month of issue then Aquitaine shall have the right to charge interest upon the monies outstanding at a rate of one and a half per centum per calendar month. Such interest shall be simple interest and shall not be compounded. 9.7 Subject to the terms of any Trust Documentation and/or the terms of any Company Administration Agreement Aquitaine shall be entitled to be paid by the Entity or the Client in connection with transactions other than the provision of the Services. Aquitaine is entitled to retain any brokerage or commission received in respect of any transaction: 9.7.1 to which the Company is a party; or 9.7.2 to be entered into on behalf of the Entity. Furthermore Aquitaine shall be entitled to its normal fee in respect of any services or transactions, which do not form part of the Services, carried out for the Entity or the Client. 9.8 If any amounts (fees, duties, charges or otherwise) payable under this Agreement are not paid within two months of becoming due then Aquitaine shall not be under any further obligation to provide the Services or to keep the Entity in good standing. 9.9 In the absence of manifest error the amounts set out in Aquitaine s invoice as being due to Aquitaine under this Agreement shall be conclusive. 9.10 If work which Aquitaine has undertaken for the Client or the Entity does not proceed to a conclusion or if the Client or the Entity withdraws its instructions, Aquitaine will charge for all work done up to the point the matter becomes abortive together with all reasonable costs, disbursements and expenses paid on the Client s or the Entity s behalf. In such circumstances Aquitaine will also charge for work done and all costs, disbursements and expenses associated with the orderly termination or the transfer of such work to another service provider, if applicable.

10. Legal and Taxation Matters 10.1 The Client acknowledges that it has been advised by Aquitaine to take independent legal and taxation advice: 10.1.1 prior to entering into this Agreement; and 10.1.2 in relation to the Entity and any larger structure generally; and has taken such advice or has declined to do so but has carefully read and considered the terms of this Agreement (and any documentation of the Entity including, if applicable, any Trust Documentation whether in draft or executed form) including in particular the terms of the indemnities contained in this Agreement and, if applicable, any Trust Documentation (whether in draft or executed form). The Client shall continue to acquaint itself with any legal or tax obligations it may continue to have during the time that the Services are provided under this Agreement. 10.2 The Client confirms that it has not been provided with any legal or taxation advice in relation to the Entity by Aquitaine or its agents. 10.3 Aquitaine does not offer legal or tax advice and at all times the Client and the Entity (and beneficiaries, beneficial owners or officers thereof) must obtain its own legal and tax advice. 10.4 If Aquitaine draws to the attention of the Client or the Entity (or the beneficiaries, beneficial owners or officers thereof) that a course of action or refraining from a course of action may or may not have tax or legal implications then such communication by Aquitaine shall not be considered tax or legal advice and shall not be relied upon by the recipient of such communication. The recipient shall obtain such other tax advice as it considers necessary. 10.5 Aquitaine accepts no liability whatsoever for the tax consequences of actions it takes in respect of the Entity and the provision of the Services. 10.6 Upon: 10.6.1 a change in circumstances of the Client or the beneficiaries, beneficial owners or officers of the Entity; 10.6.2 distributions from the Trust being effected; 10.6.3 other activities being undertaken with resulting tax or adverse legal implications; then the Client shall (if Client deems it necessary) instruct Aquitaine on making any necessary reporting and undertaking all other actions in order to comply with the requirements of any applicable Law or any relevant tax, regulatory or governmental authorities.
