Employee Stock Ownership Plan Highland International offers the following advisory services to our clients: INVESTMENT ADVISORY SERVICES Highland International provides investment advisory services. We provide continuous advice to clients regarding investments based on the individual needs of each client. Through discussions in which goals and objectives based on each client's particular circumstances are established, we assist the client in developing an investment policy and base our services on that policy. During our data-gathering process, we help determine each client’s individual objectives, time horizons, risk tolerance, and liquidity needs. As appropriate, we also review and discuss a client's prior investment history. Highland International provides services to clients on a non-discretionary basis. This means that the firm had no discretion over the specific investments held in client portfolios. Account supervision is guided by the client's stated objectives (i.e., maximum capital appreciation, growth, income, or growth and income), as well as tax considerations. Clients may place restrictions on investments related to certain securities, types of securities, or industry sectors. Our investment recommendations are generally limited to mutual funds, ETFs, hedge funds, private equity funds, venture capital funds, private placements and other money managers. Highland International may use other securities as well to help diversify a portfolio when applicable and may include advice regarding

the types of investments held by the various products mentioned. Because some types of investments involve certain additional degrees of risk, they will only be implemented/recommended when consistent with the client's stated investment objectives, tolerance for risk, liquidity and suitability. As part of the process, we will assist the client in reviewing and monitoring fees associated with investments as well as other related costs (e.g. custody).

The primary clients for these services will be the plan sponsors of defined benefit and defined contribution plans, however, we may also offer these services, where appropriate, to other entities.

Institutional Retirement Plan Consulting Services are comprised of three distinct services. Clients may choose to use any or all of these services. Investment Policy Preparation: We will meet with the client to determine an appropriate investment strategy that reflects the plan sponsor's stated investment objectives for management of the overall plan. Our firm then assists with the preparation of a written investment policy detailing those objectives, constraints, etc., including an encompassing policy under which these goals are to be achieved. The investment policy also lists the criteria for selection of investment vehicles as well as the procedures and timing interval for monitoring of investment performance. Selection of Investments: We will assist the client, where appropriate, in developing an asset allocation or asset allocation model. We will also review various investment managers and available investment vehicles to determine which investments are appropriate to implement the client's investment policy. The number of investments to be recommended will be determined by the client, based on the investment policy. Monitoring of Investments: We monitor client investments continually, based on the procedures and timing intervals delineated in the investment policy. We monitor the client's portfolio, including individual managers, and will make recommendations as market factors and the client's needs dictate. As part of the process, we will assist the client in reviewing and monitoring fees associated with investments as well as other related costs (e.g. recordkeeping, custody, etc.).
