A party's ability to have a court reverse or modify an arbitration award is very limited; (iii) The ability of the parties to obtain documents, witness statements and other discovery is generally limited in arbitration as compared to court proceedings; (hr) The arbitrators do not have to explain the reason(s) for their award, unless, in an eligible case, a joint request for an explained decision has been submitted by all parties to the panel at least twenty (20) days prior to the first hearing date; (v) The panel of arbitrators will typically include a minority of arbitrators who were or are affiliated with the securities industry; (vi) The rules of some arbitration forums may impose time limits for bringing a claim in arbitration.

If Client's election Is not received by DBSI within ten (10) calendar days of receipt of a written request from DBSI that Client make an election, then DBSI may elect the forum before which the arbitration shall be held. - Neither DBSI nor Client waive any right to seek equitable relief pending arbitration. No person shall bring a putative or certified class action to arbitration, nor seek to enforce any pre-dispute ai-bitration agreement against any person who has Initiated In court a putative class action; or who Is a member of a putative class who has not opted out of the class with respect to any claims encompassed by the putative class action until (i) the class certification is denied; or (ii) the class is decertified; or (lii) the customer is excluded from the class by the court. Such forbearance to enforce an agreement to arbitrate shall not constitute a waiver of any rights under this agreement except to the extent stated herein. important Disclosures for Your Records Deutsche Bank Securities Inc. "DBSI" is furnishing this document to you to alert you to Important matters regarding your account. Securities Investor Protection Corporation ("SIPC") Securities held by our clearing broker, Pershing LLC, for your account are protected up to the total net equity held in the account. Of this total, SIPC provides $500,000 of coverage, including $100,000 for claims fdr cash awaiting reinvestment. The remaining coverage Is provided by Pershing through a commercial insurer. SIPC protection applies when the SIPC member firm through which you hold your investments fails financially and is unable to meet its obligations to securities clients, but SIPC protection does not protect against losses attributable to the rise and fall In the market value of investments. A small number of client accounts are not carried on Pershing's books due to specific account factors. These accounts are covered under DBSI's SIPC membership. DBSI does not provide coverage in excess of SIPC coverage. Certain investments, such as commodity futures contracts and currency, are ineligible for SIPC protection. For additional information on SIPC, see www.SIPC.org or call the SIPC public information number, (202) 371-8300. Payment for Order Flow DBAB receives payment when Its routes for execution certain orders in certain securities. The determination as to where to route orders is based on several factors, consistent with DBSI's obligation to provide best execution for all client orders. Because several factors are considered with respect to such determinations, DBSI could potentially secure price improvements on such orders by routing them in a different manner and all such orders EFTA01444865 potentially could be executed at prices superior to the best bid or best offer. Payment is received by DBSI in the form of rebates, or credits against exchange fees, and specialist fees. Details will be furnished upon written request. 09-PWM-0186 Corp Acct Auth & T&C (02/12) CORP 006420-022212 EFTA01444866 ARTICLES OFE^C0aP0fMTIGN .S§ -4 — WC) the undersigned, for the piuposcs of associating to establish a cQrporE&&>n for the transaction of the Jiusiness and the promotion aiid conduct of the objects aiid purposes hereinaflei' stated, uttder tfie provisioiis andsubject to the.requirements ofthe laws of the Vlrgiu Islands of the United States (hereinafter caiied the Virgin Islands), and particularly die Generai Corporation Law of the Virgin Islands (Chapter 1, Title 13, Virgin Islands Code), as the same may- be amended from lime to time, do make and fik these Articles of incoiporation in writing and do certify; the Aame isMe cojpifitioii (hei0^^ to as the "cdiporation") is JEEPERS, INC.

Jeffrey Epstein Source of Re: Jeffrey Epsteir Classification: For internal use only Jeffrey Epstein began his financial career in 1976 as an options trader at Bear Stearns. He specialized in mathematical models such as the Black-Scholes option-pricing model and later worked in the special products division, advising high net worth clients on tax strategies. In 1980, Epstein became a partner at Bear Stearns. In 1982, Epstein founded his own financial management firm, J. Epstein & Co., managing the assets of clients with more than a billion in net worth. In 1987, Leslie Wexner, founder and chairman of the Columbus, Ohio-based Limited chain of women's-clothing stores became a well-known client.'ln 1996, Epstein changed the name of his firm to The Financial Trust Company and based it on the island of St. Thomas in the US Virgin Islands. In 2003, Epstein publicly bid for New York Magazine, along with advertising executive, Donny Deutsch, investor Nelson Peltz, publishing mogul and owner of The Daily News, Mortimer Zuckerman and film producer Harvey Weinstein. They were ultimately out bid by longtime wall street investor Bruce Wasserstein for $55 million. In 2004, Epstein and Mortimer Zuckerman, committed to finance up to $25 million to back Radar, a celebrity and pop culture magazine and Maer Roshan, its editor in chief and founder. Epstein and Zuckerman were equal partners in the venture, and Mr. Roshan retained a small ownership stake Since all but one of his financial clients are anonymous, it has been speculated that much of Epstein's lavish lifestyle was once financed by Wexner. In September 2002 he flew Bill Clinton, Kevin Spacey and EFTA01444885 Chris Tucker to Africa in his private Boeing 727, to promote the former president's anti-AIDS efforts.He was also friends with Prince Andrew, Duke of York, whom he hosted in his New York mansion in December 2010. In addition to his private island called Little St. James Island off of St. Thomas in the U.S. Virgin Islands, Epstein owns a 50,000-square-foot (4,600 m2) townhouse in Manhattan that was formerly owned by Les Wexner. The townhouse is reported to be the largest private residence in Manhattan. He also owns a villa in Palm Beach, Florida, an apartment in Paris, France and a 10,000-acre ranch including a 26,700-square-foot hilltop mansion in Stanley, New Mexico, south of Santa Fe.
