The Trust shall have the right, from time to time, to vote and give consents with respect to the Securities for all purposes not inconsistent with the provisions of this Agreement, the Custody Agreement or any Control Agreement. Notwithstanding anything else set forth in this Agreement, in the event of a conflict between this Agreement, the Custody Agreement and the Control Agreement, the provisions of this Agreement and the Control Agreement shall control and in the event of a conflict between this Agreement and the Control Agreement, the Control Agreement shall control.

(g) The Custody Agreement is terminated except upon the simultaneous execution by the Bank and the Trust of a substantially identical custody agreement in replacement thereof, in form and substance satisfactory to the Bank.

Remedies.

(a) If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, then or at any time thereafter, and in addition to the rights and remedies of Bank pursuant to the terms and provisions of the Loan Agreement and the Note, the Bank (itself or through an agent) is hereby authorized and empowered at its election, to sell in one or more public or private sales after seven days' notice (which notice the Trust agrees is commercially reasonable) but without any previous notice or advertisement, the whole or any part of the Securities. Any sale may be either for cash or upon credit or for future delivery, and the Bank may be the purchaser of the whole or any part of the Securities so sold and hold the same thereafter in its own right free from any claim of the Trust or any right of redemption. The Bank reserves the right to reject any and all bids at such sale which, in its sole discretion, it shall deem inadequate. Demands of performance, except as otherwise herein specifically provided for, notices of sale, advertisements and the presence of property at sale are hereby waived and any sale hereunder may be conducted by any officer or agent of the Bank.

(b) If, at the original time or times appointed for the sale of the whole or any part of the Securities, the then current market price is inadequate to discharge in full all the Obligations, or if the Securities be offered for sale in lots, if at any of such sales, the highest bid for the lot offered for sale would indicate to the Bank, in its discretion, the unlikelihood of the proceeds of the sales of all of the Securities being sufficient to discharge all the Obligations, the Bank may, on one or more occasions, postpone any of said sales by public announcement at the time of sale or the time of previous postponement of sale, and no other notice of such postponement or postponements of sale need be given, any other notice being hereby waived; provided, however, that any sale or sales made after such postponement shall be after seven days' notice to the Trust.

(c) In the event of any sale(s) hereunder the Bank shall, after deducting all costs or expenses of every kind (including, to the full extent permitted by law, attorney's fees and disbursements) for care, safekeeping, collection, sale, delivery or otherwise, apply the residue of the proceeds of the sale(s) to the payment or reduction, either in whole or in part, of the Obligations returning the surplus, if any, to the Trust.

(d) If, at any time when the Bank shall determine to exercise its right to sell the whole or any part of the Securities hereunder, such Securities or the part thereof to be sold shall not be effectively registered, for any reason whatsoever, under the Securities Act of 1933, as then in effect (or any similar statute then in effect) (the "Securities Act"), the Bank may, in its discretion (subject only to applicable Requirements of Law), sell such Securities or part thereof by private sale in such manner and under such circumstances as the Bank may deem necessary or advisable, but subject to the other requirements of this Section 9, and shall not be required to effect such registration or to cause the same to be effected. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in any such event the Bank in its discretion (i) may proceed to make such private sale notwithstanding that a registration statement for the purpose of registering such Securities or part thereof could be or shall have been filed under said Securities Act (or similar statute), (ii) may approach and negotiate with a single possible purchaser to effect such sale, and (iii) may restrict such sale to a purchaser who will represent and agree that such purchaser is purchasing for its own account, for investment and not with a view to the distribution or sale of such Securities or part thereof. In addition to a private sale as provided above in this Section 9, if any of the Securities shall not be freely distributable to the public without registration under the Securities Act (or similar statute) at the time of any proposed sale pursuant to this Section 9, then the Bank shall not be required to effect such registration or cause the same to be effected but, in its discretion (subject only to applicable Requirements of Law), may require that any sale hereunder (including a sale at auction) be conducted subject to restrictions (i) as to the financial sophistication and ability of any Person permitted to bid or purchase at sale, (ii) as to the content of legends to be placed upon any certificates representing the Securities sold in such sale, including restrictions on future transfer thereof, (iii) as to the representations required to be made by each Person bidding or purchasing at such sale relating to that Person's access to financial information about the Trust and such Person's intentions as to the holding of the Securities so sold for investment, for its own account, and not with a view to the distribution thereof, and (iv) as to such other matters as the Bank may, in its discretion, deem necessary or appropriate in order that such sale (notwithstanding any failure so to register) may be effected in compliance with laws affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights and the Securities Act and all applicable state or other jurisdictions' securities laws.

(e) The Trust acknowledges that any sale under the circumstances described in this Section 9 shall be deemed to have been held in a manner which is commercially reasonable. In the event of any such sale under the circumstances described in this Section 9, the Bank shall incur no responsibility or liability for selling all or any part of the Securities at a price which the Bank may deem reasonable under the circumstances, notwithstanding the possibility that a substantially higher price might be realized if the sales were deferred until after registration as aforesaid.

(f) The Trust agrees that it will not at any time plead, claim or take the benefit of any appraisal, valuation, stay, extension, moratorium or redemption law now or hereafter in force in order to prevent or delay the enforcement of this Agreement, or the absolute sale of the whole or any part of the Securities or the possession thereof by any purchaser at any sale hereunder, and the Trust waives the benefit of all such laws to the extent it lawfully may do so. The Trust agrees that it will not interfere with any right, power and remedy of the Bank provided for in this Agreement or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute or otherwise, or the exercise or beginning of the exercise by the Bank of any one or more of such rights, powers or remedies. No failure or delay on the part of the Bank to exercise any such right, power or remedy and no notice or demand which may be given to or made upon the Trust by the Bank with respect to any such remedies shall operate as a waiver hereof, or limit or impair the Bank's right to take any action or to exercise any power or remedy hereunder, without notice or demand, or prejudice its rights as against the Trust in any respect.

10.

Waiver.

(a) The Trust waives any right to require Bank to: (i) proceed against or exhaust any security held for the Obligations, or (ii) pursue any other remedy in Bank's power whatsoever. The Trust hereby waives notice of acceptance of this Agreement, and also presentment, demand, protest and notice of dishonor of any and all of the Obligations, and promptness in commencing suit against any party thereto or liable thereon, and in giving notice to or of making any claim or demand hereunder upon the Trust.

(b) No delay on the Bank's part in exercising any power of sale, lien, option or other right hereunder, and no notice or demand which may be given to or made upon the Trust by the Bank with respect to any power of sale, lien, option or other right hereunder, shall constitute a waiver thereof, or limit or impair the Bank's right to take any action or to exercise any power of sale, lien, option, or any other right hereunder, without notice or demand, or prejudice the Bank's rights as against the Trust in any respect. No act or omission of any kind on Bank's part shall in any event affect or impair this Agreement.

11. Indemnification. The Trust agrees to indemnify and hold the Bank harmless from and against any taxes, liabilities, claims and damages, including reasonable attorney's fees and disbursements, and other expenses incurred or arising by reason of the taking or the failure to take action by the Bank, in good faith and without gross negligence or willful misconduct, under this Agreement and in respect of any transactions effected in connection with this Agreement, including, without limitation, any taxes payable in connection with the delivery or registration of any of the Securities as provided herein. The obligations of the Trust under this Section shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

12.	Miscellaneous.

(a) The Trust agrees to promptly reimburse Bank for actual out-of-pocket expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable counsel fees, incurred by the Bank in connection with the administration and enforcement of this Agreement and/or the Note and/or the Loan Agreement; provided, however, that this Section 12(a) shall not be construed as granting the Bank a security interest in any Securities for the purpose of paying such counsel fees.

(b) This Agreement shall be binding upon the Trust and the Trust's assigns, and shall inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by, the Bank and its successors, transferees and assigns. None of the terms or provisions of this Agreement may be waived, altered, modified or amended except in writing duly signed for and on behalf of the Bank and the Trust.

TO PLEDGE AND SECURITY AGREEMENT

BETWEEN

MIDAS SERIES TRUST

AND

THE HUNTINGTON NATIONAL BANK

CONTROL AGREEMENT

This Control Agreement (this "Agreement"), dated June 18, 2018, is by and among MIDAS SERIES TRUST, a Delaware statutory trust (the "Trust") executing this Agreement on behalf and for the benefit of those investment series set forth in Exhibit A, severally and not jointly (the "Funds" and each, a "Fund"), THE HUNTINGTON NATIONAL BANK, a national bank ("Bank"), and THE HUNTINGTON NATIONAL BANK, a national bank (the "Custodian").

WHEREAS, the Trust and the Custodian are parties to a certain Custody Agreement(s) whereunder Custodian holds custody of various assets of Borrower, which include the Collateral Account(s), as defined and listed below; and

WHEREAS, the Trust and Bank have entered into the Pledge Agreement dated as of June 18, 2018; and

WHEREAS, Bank, the Trust and the Custodian are entering into this Agreement to provide for Bank's control of the Collateral Account(s) and the financial assets and other property held in the Collateral Account(s).

NOW THEREFORE, for valuable consideration, the parties hereto agree as follows:

1. Establishment of Collateral Account(s). The Custodian hereby confirms and agrees that:

1.1 Custodian has established the following account(s) (the "Collateral Account(s)"), in the name of the Trust.

Fund	Collateral Account Numbers
Midas Fund	1041016880
Midas Magic	1041016889

1.2 The Custodian is, and at all times hereafter will be, acting in the capacity of "Securities Intermediary" (as such term is defined in Article 8 of the Uniform Commercial Code as adopted by the State of Ohio (the "UCC")) in respect of all Securities or other property credited to the Collateral Account(s).

1.3 All securities or other property underlying any financial assets credited to the Collateral Account(s) shall be registered in the name of the Custodian, indorsed to the Custodian or in blank and in no case, will any financial asset credited to a Collateral Account be registered in the name of the Borrower, payable to the order of the Borrower or specially indorsed to the Trust except to the extent the foregoing have been specially indorsed to the Custodian or in blank.

2. Collateral Account Control.

2.1 Bank Security Interest. The Trust has granted Bank a security interest in the Collateral and Collateral Account(s).

2.2 Control. Custodian will comply with the entitlement order(s) (as defined in the UCC) or other instruction(s) received from the Trust until Custodian receives a written notice from Bank instructing Custodian that Bank is exercising its right to exclusive control over the Collateral Account(s). Such notice, which shall be substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B, is referred to herein as a "Notice of Exclusive Control". After Custodian receives a Notice of Exclusive Control and Custodian has a reasonable time to act thereon, Custodian shall thereafter comply only with the entitlement order(s) (as defined in the UCC) or other instruction(s) received from Bank with respect to the Collateral and the Collateral Account(s) without further consent of Trust or any other Person. If the Custodian receives conflicting entitlement orders or instructions from the Trust and the Bank, the Custodian shall follow the instructions or entitlement orders originated by the Bank.

3. Limited Responsibility of Custodian.

3.1 The Custodian shall have no responsibility or liability to Bank for complying with entitlement orders or other instructions originated by the Trust concerning the Collateral Account(s) or any Collateral, prior to Custodian receiving a Notice of Exclusive Control and Custodian having had a reasonable time to act thereon.

3.2 The Custodian shall have no responsibility or liability to the Trust, for complying with a Notice of Exclusive Control or complying with entitlement orders or other instructions originated by Bank concerning the Collateral Accounts or any Collateral. The Custodian shall have no duty to investigate or make any determination as to whether any entitlement order or Notice of Exclusive Control is appropriate whether or not the Trust may allege that such entitlement order or Notice of Control is inappropriate. Upon Bank issuing a Notice of Exclusive Control, the Trust agrees not to issue any request or instructions to Custodian to make trades of securities held in the Collateral Account(s) or to transfer or withdraw any financial assets, cash or other property from the Collateral Account(s) without the prior written consent of Bank.

3.3 Notwithstanding any provision contained herein or in any other document or instrument to the contrary, Custodian shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken at the instruction of Bank or the Trust, as applicable, or any action taken or omitted to be taken under or in connection with this Agreement, except for Custodian's own gross negligence or willful misconduct in carrying out such instructions.

4. Distributions; Tax Reporting. Custodian shall credit to the Trust's custodial account(s) all interest, dividends and other income received by Custodian on the Collateral, unless Custodian has received a Notice of Exclusive Control and has had a reasonable time to act thereon. All items of income, gain, expense and loss recognized in the Collateral Account(s) shall be reported to the Internal Revenue Service and all state and local taxing authorities under the name and taxpayer identification number of Trust.

5. Duties and Services of Custodian.

5.1 The Custodian shall have no duties, obligations, responsibilities or liabilities with respect to the Collateral or the Collateral Account(s) except as and to the extent expressly set forth in this Agreement (and as between the Trust and Custodian the Custody Agreement), and no implied duties of any kind shall be read into this Agreement against Custodian including, without limitation, the duty to preserve, exercise or enforce rights in the Collateral and Collateral Account(s).

5.2 Instructions under this Agreement from the Trust's authorized representative given in accordance with the terms of the Custody Agreement shall also constitute proper instructions under the Custody Agreement.

5.3 Bank agrees to provide to Custodian, on Exhibit C attached hereto, the names and signatures of authorized parties who may give written notices, instructions or entitlement orders concerning the Collateral Account(s).

5.4 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Bank and the Trust hereby further acknowledge and agree that any Collateral issued outside the United States ("Foreign Security System Assets") which may be held by Custodian, a sub-custodian within Custodian's network of sub-custodians (each a "Sub-Custodian") or a depository or book-entry system for the central handling of securities and other financial assets in which Custodian or the Sub-Custodian are participants may not permit the Trust to have a security entitlement under the UCC with respect to such Foreign Security System Assets (and such property shall be deemed for purposes of this Agreement not to be a financial asset held within the Collateral Account(s)). The parties hereby further acknowledge that Custodian gives no assurance that a security entitlement is created under the UCC with respect to any assets held in Euroclear or Cedelbank or their successors.

6. Indemnification of the Custodian.

6.1 The Trust and Bank hereby agree that Custodian is released from any and all liabilities to the Trust and Bank arising from the terms of this Agreement and the compliance of Custodian with the terms hereof, except to the extent that such liabilities arise from Custodian's gross negligence or willful misconduct. In no event shall Custodian be liable under this Agreement to the Trust or Bank or any Person claiming by through or under the Trust or Bank for consequential or special damages, even if Custodian has been advised of the possibility or likelihood of such damages. This provision shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

6.2 As between the Trust and Custodian, Custodian shall be and remains entitled to all of the rights, indemnities, powers, and protections in its favor under the Custody Agreement, which shall apply fully to Custodian's actions and omissions hereunder. This provision shall survive the termination of this Agreement. In addition to such the rights, indemnities, powers, and protections set forth in the Custody Agreement, Trust hereby agrees to hold harmless, indemnify, and defend Custodian, and its affiliates, successors, assigns, officers, directors, employees, and agents, against all losses, liabilities, claims, litigation, demands, suits, costs (including reasonable attorneys' fees), disbursements, or expenses incurred as a result of the assertion of any claim by any person or entity arising out of or otherwise arising from or in connection with or related to this Agreement, including any that may be incurred in performing its duties or responsibilities pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, except to the extent the losses, liabilities, claims, litigation, demands, suits, costs, disbursements, or expenses are a direct result of Custodian's gross negligence or willful misconduct.

6.3 As between Custodian and Bank, Bank will hold harmless, indemnify, and defend Custodian, and its affiliates, successors, assigns, officers, directors, employees, and agents, against all losses, liabilities, claims, litigation, demands, suits, costs, disbursements, or expenses arising out of entitlement orders and any other instructions given by Bank to Custodian under this Agreement or actions taken by Custodian in compliance with entitlement orders originated by Bank, or otherwise following instructions of Bank hereunder, including reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements, except to the extent the losses, liabilities, claims, litigation, demands, suits, costs, disbursements, or expenses are a direct result of Custodian's gross negligence or willful misconduct. This provision shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

7. Custodian Representations. The Custodian agrees and confirms, as of the date hereof, and at all times until the termination of this Agreement that it has not entered into, and until the termination of this Agreement will not enter into, any agreement (other than the Custody Agreement) with any other person or entity relating to the Collateral or the Collateral Account(s) under which it has agreed to comply with entitlement orders (as defined in Section 8-102 of the UCC) of such other person or entity.

8. Access To Reports. The Custodian will provide to Bank a copy of a statement of the Collateral Account(s) on each business day; provided, however, that Custodian's failure to forward a copy of such statement to Bank shall not give rise to any liability hereunder.

9. Fees and Expenses of Custodian. In addition to the terms of the Custody Agreement, the Trust hereby agrees to pay and reimburse Custodian for any advances, costs, expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorney's fees and costs) and disbursements that may be paid or incurred by Custodian in connection with this Agreement or the arrangement contemplated hereby, including any that may be incurred in performing its duties or responsibilities pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. This provision shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

10. Liens; Advances; Right of Offset. Any fees, expenses or other amounts that may be owing to Custodian from time to time pursuant to the terms hereof or of the Custody Agreement shall be secured by any lien, encumbrance and other rights that Custodian may have under the Custody Agreement or applicable law; and Custodian shall be entitled to exercise such rights and interests against the Collateral and Collateral Account(s) in accordance with the terms of the Custody Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Bank furthermore agrees that (a) if Custodian, at its option without any liability or obligation to do so, advances cash or investments to the Collateral Account(s) for any purpose (including but not limited to securities settlements, foreign exchange contracts, assumed settlement or account overdraft) for the benefit of the Trust, any property at any time held pursuant to this Agreement shall be security therefor and, should Trust fail to repay Custodian promptly, Custodian shall be entitled to utilize available cash and/or to liquidate assets in the Collateral Account(s) to the extent necessary to obtain reimbursement; and (b) Custodian shall be entitled to utilize available cash and/or to liquidate assets in the Collateral Account(s) for the payment of fees, cost and expenses owing to Custodian with respect to the Collateral Account(s), and all costs and expenses that may be paid or incurred by Custodian in connection with this Agreement, including, without limitation, any that may be incurred in performing Custodian's duties under this Agreement pertaining to instructions or entitlement orders or a Notice of Exclusive Control issued by Bank.

11. Notices. Any notice, instruction or other instrument required to be given hereunder requests and demands to or upon the respective parties hereto shall be in writing and may be sent by hand, or by facsimile transmission, telex, or delivery by any recognized delivery service, prepaid or, by certified or registered mail, postage prepaid, and addressed as follows, or to such other address as any party may hereafter notify the other respective parties hereto in writing:
