You further authorize AWX Capital SG to, in its sole discretion, gift or transfer any Units to others clients provided that we may do so for the purpose of making whole any shortfall in other clients’ holdings of the same Funds resulting from rounding issues that have caused other clients to receive a lesser quantity of such Units than they otherwise would have had if such rounding had not occurred.
