The parties acknowledge that for the purposes of the FINRA rules the Investors who purchase Securities through the Dealer are “Customers” of the Dealer and not the Managing Broker Dealer. Nonetheless, to the extent that the Managing Broker Dealer deems it prudent, the Dealer shall cooperate with the Managing Broker Dealer’s auditing and monitoring of the Dealer’s AML Program and its OFAC Program by providing, upon request, information, records, data and exception reports, related to the Company’s bond holders introduced to, and serviced by, the Dealer (the “Customers”). Such documentation could include, among other things: (i) copies of Dealer’s AML Program and its OFAC Program; (ii) documents maintained pursuant to the Dealer’s AML Program and its OFAC Program related to the Customers; (iii) any suspicious activity reports filed related to the Customers; (iv) audits and any exception reports related to the Dealer’s AML activities; and (v) any other files maintained related to the Customers. In the event that such documents reflect, in the opinion of the Managing Broker Dealer, a potential violation of the Managing Broker Dealer’s obligations in respect of its AML or OFAC requirements, the Dealer will permit the Managing Broker Dealer to further inspect relevant books and records related to the Customers (with respect to the Offering) and/or the Dealer’s compliance with AML or OFAC requirements. Notwithstanding the foregoing, when so directed by his or her legal counsel, the Dealer shall not be required to provide to the Managing Broker Dealer any documentation that could potentially cause the Dealer to lose the benefit of an attorney-client privilege or other privilege which it may be entitled to assert relating to the discoverability of documents in any civil or criminal proceedings. The Dealer hereby represents that it is currently in compliance with all AML rules and all OFAC requirements, specifically including, but not limited to, the Customer Identification Program requirements under Section 326 of the USA PATRIOT Act.
