General Equipment Leasing Policies Fund s Lease Rate and Return on Investment Objectives will Vary Based on: Type of Equipment Terms of the Lease Credit Quality of the Lessee Prevailing Lease and Financial Market Conditions Types of Equipment The Fund intends to acquire and lease a diversified portfolio of equipment. The Fund intends to invest primarily in what the Manager deems to be relatively low technology, low obsolescence types of equipment. These types of equipment would include a variety of items that are not dependent on high technology design or applications for their usefulness to lessees, and are expected to be less subject to rapid obsolescence than types that are so dependent. However, a limited portion of the portfolio may include more technology-dependent equipment such as certain types of communications equipment, medical equipment and office equipment. 23

Sharia a Compliance Leasing Structures Lease Fund: An investment company that invests the shareholders' money in lease obligations. A lease fund is very similar to a bond fund except that the maturities of its investments are shorter. Ijara: An Ijara fund will usually be established for the purpose of purchasing assets (machinery, etc) and then leasing those assets to third parties in return for rental income. Legal ownership of the assets remains with the fund as does responsibility for the management of such assets. A management fee will normally be paid to the manager. It is important that with an Ijara fund, the assets that are leased out must be used in a halal manner. Furthermore, the leasing arrangement put in place between the fund and the lessees must comply with Sharia a Prohibitions Transactions in unethical goods and services Earning returns from a loan contract (Riba/Interest) Compensation based restructuring of debts Excessive uncertainty in contracts (Gharar) Gambling and chance based games (Qimar) Trading in debt contracts at a premium or discount Fund Sharia a Advisor: Guidance Financial Group Ltd Guidance Financial Group Ltd. ( Guidance ) will serve as the Sharia a compliance advisor to the Manager and the Fund. Guidance Financial Group is an international financial services provider dedicated to Sharia a-compliant investments and finance with presence in North America, Europe, Middle East and Asia.

Major Risks and Mitigations Major Risks Mitigations Technological and economic obsolescence Focused on investing in a high quality, diversified portfolio of low obsolescence, business critical equipment to investment grade corporate lessees primarily in the U.S. Lessee defaults on the payments Lower risk is achieved through the quality of the assets leased coupled with the high credit ratings of the lessee. Further risk diversification is achieved through the Fund assets themselves given the broad spectrum of industries the Manager leases into and the kind of assets leased. Changes in economic conditions, including fluctuations in demand for equipment, lease rates, interest rates and inflation rates, Given the current economic conditions interest rates and inflation rates are low. We expect this to rise in over next few years. This should result in higher cost of purchasing new equipment in future. Hence expected residual value will be higher. 28

Guarantees and Liquidity Is there a Guarantee? This is not capital guaranteed product. The Fund does not guarantee its distributions or the return of investors capital. Accordingly, investors must rely on the performance of the Fund s equipment leasing portfolio investments to generate distributions in return of capital and a return on their invested capital. Legal Protection The equipment purchase and sale transactions and corresponding lease agreements are subject to US law and the US judicial system which provides a transparent and tested system for leasing arrangements. All leases will be held in the name for the Fund. Liquidity EIIB/Rasmala may be able to provide limited liquidity on a case by case basis. 29
