6.1 If we carry out a Transaction on your request or pursuant to Clause 24 below:

(a) a corresponding Client Contract shall come into existence on the purchase or sale of a Contract or, as the case may be exercise and allocation of an option Contract in respect of which the underlying Asset is a futures Contract. The Client Contract will terminate when the Contract is closed out, settled or delivered; and

(b) you will have the obligations in relation to the Transaction and the Client Contract that are mentioned in this Agreement and the Customer Documents.

6.2 For each Client Contract, we will have made or placed an equivalent Contract on the floor of the relevant market (by open outcry on the floor of, or on an automated trading system administered by, a futures and options Exchange or the futures or options market of any other Exchange) or will have entered into an equivalent Contract with Broker pursuant to Clause 3 and we shall thus have an interest in the Transaction.

6.3 Any Contract which we acquire as a result of your instructions will, unless the position has been closed out, result in you becoming liable to us in relation to the corresponding Client Contract for actual delivery of its underlying Asset or payment of the relevant price, under and subject to Market Requirements.

7. Acceptance and execution of orders

7.1 Every order which we may take is accepted and executed, and every Client Contract shall be entered into, on the basis that we contract with you only as a principal and not as agent for you unless otherwise required by Market Requirements.

7.2 If we have to carry out a Transaction as agent on an Exchange where we would not deal as principal then, for that Transaction, you agree to be bound by all Market Requirements of that Exchange and you undertake to sign and deliver to us any further Customer Documents as we may require. Unless we otherwise require, Market Requirements of that Exchange will be incorporated herein.

8. Aggregation of orders

We may aggregate your orders with our own (in-house) orders and/or orders of our associates, connected customers and/or other customers. This aggregation may operate on some occasions to your advantage and on others to your disadvantage.

- 8 -

9. Research and recommendations

9.1 We are under no obligation to provide research reports and recommendations to you and, where provided, you may not receive them at the same time as our other customers.

9.2 Our employees, officers and directors may receive, know about, act upon or use such research reports and recommendations before they are received by our customers, We are under no obligation to take account of these reports or recommendations when we deal with or for you.

10. Client actions

10.1 You will take any action and give us in relation to the corresponding Client Contract any information that we ask for in relation to the delivery, settlement, and, if a purchased Option Contract, the exercise or allocation, of any Contract which has not been closed out.

10.2 Notwithstanding Clause 10.1 above and regardless of any right of equity, set-off or counterclaim which you may have or allege against us, any of our Associated Firms or any person connected with us, you will promptly take all action necessary (including the supply of information) to enable us to settle or deliver any Contract which you have instructed us to open and which has not been closed out at the time such Contract is to be performed.

11. Closing Out

11.1 Subject in particular to Clauses 3 to 8 and 33.3, Market Requirements and any further requirements we notify you of, you may at any time before the date for performance of a Client Contract request us to close out the matching Contract or, if a purchased option Contract, exercise that Contract in accordance with its terms. if the closing out or exercise results in a sum of money being due to us, the relevant Exchange, Clearing House and/or Broker, we shall notify you of that amount, which will be payable by you immediately.

11.2 Unless we in our absolute discretion determine otherwise or we accept instructions from you to do otherwise, equal and opposite Contracts and Client Contracts (closing out being determined on a “first in, first out” basis) will automatically fix the amount of profit or loss in relation thereto.

12. Allocation

If the relevant Clearing House and/or Broker does not allocate long Open Contracts at maturity directly to a specific account of ours or to short Client Contracts (or vice versa) we may allocate those Contracts at random or in a way which seems to us to be most equitable as between clients. If dealings on our own account are involved at the same time, allocation will be to all clients firs, and we will receive no allocation until all relevant Client Contracts have been satisfied.

13. Delivery to you

When we receive any amounts and/or Assets (including documents of title), pursuant to a Transaction, provided that you have fulfilled all your obligations under this Agreement and subject to Clause 15, 18.3, 22.2 and 24.2, we will deliver such amounts and/or Assets to you in respect of the corresponding Client Contract, after deduction of any Charges and Taxes.

15. Alteration of Contracts

If the relevant Exchange, Clearing House or Broker requires any terms or conditions of any Contract matching a Client Contract (including the Assets subject to it) to be altered, we may take all actions as may, in our absolute discretion, be necessary, desirable or expedient to comply with such requirements or to avoid or mitigate loss resulting from any alteration. All actions taken by us will be binding on you, and any alteration will be deemed incorporated into the corresponding Client Contract. We shall notify you of any alteration (in advance, where reasonably practicable).

16. Charges

16.1 Our charges will either be a commission or a xxxx-up or xxxx-down on the fee payable by us to any Exchange, Clearing House and/or Broker for the relevant Transaction and/or such other amounts as may be agreed from time to time between you and us. Our charges vary according to the transaction and customer, so the charges you pay for any particular transaction may differ from those another customer may pay in a similar transaction.

16.2 We may share charges with our Associated Finns or other third parties or receive remuneration from them for transactions carried out with or for you. Details of any such arrangements will be made available to you on your written request.

16.3 You shall pay to us brokerage commissions (covering both the taking and liquidation of a position) equal to U.S.$10 per round-turn (except with respect to certain Japanese exchanges, as described below).

debit balances or deficiencies in the Account, at the overnight rate customarily charged by us, together with costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred in collecting any such debit balance or deficiency; and (v) any other amounts owed by you to us with respect to the Account or any transactions therein.

17.2 Interest will accrue on the amount that you have not paid us when due until payment (as well after as before judgement). Such interest will be calculated at the rate not to exceed 2 per cent per annum above the base rate or prime rate (or local equivalent thereof) of the bank (or if there is more than one bank, the one determined by us in our absolute discretion) at which we maintain our principal securities settlement or other relevant account in the relevant currency, if such rate cannot be ascertained for any reason or is insufficient in our sole judgement to compensate us for our loss or expense, such interest shall be calculated at the rate per annum conclusively determined by us to be equal to the loss of interest we suffer or, as applicable, our cost of funding at prevailing markets rates the amount you owe from such sources and for such periods as we may decide.

17.3 Caps on Brokerage and Interest. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the aggregate of (i) brokerage fees payable by you, and (ii) the net excess interest and compensating balance benefits to us and our affiliates (after Xxxx Xxxxxx Xxxxxxxx Inc (“DWR”) crediting you with interest and described in the DWR Customer Agreement) cannot exceed 14% annually of your average month-end Net Assets (as defined in the Private Placement Memorandum of Each Customer listed in Schedule A) during each calendar year; provided, however, that we will not be responsible for monitoring such limitation.

CHAPTER III - MARGIN

18. Margin Payment and Client Money

18.1 You will pay to us upon demand such sums as we may in our absolute discretion require from time to time as Margin in respect of all present, future or contemplated Contracts and Client Contracts.

18.2 As soon as practicable we will pay or credit all Client Money or other Margin to a Margin Account at an approved bank (which may be any of our Associated Firms) that we select. The currency of the Margin you pay to us shall be the currency of the relevant underlying Contract or, if agreed by us and you, another currency. Settlement of all transactions (including Margin payments thereon) will be made in the currency of the relevant underlying Contract and you bear all risk and cost in respect of any conversion of currency in a Margin Account. Any such conversion will be made by us at such reasonable market rate or rates as we will determine.

- 11 -

18.3 You agree that we will hold your interest under the trust declared under the Client Money Regulations and all other Client Money, which is in a Margin Account on trust in the following order of priority:

(a) for ourselves to the extent of all amounts which are or may become due to us or payable by us on your behalf under or pursuant to the Customer Documents; and, thereafter

(b) for you to the extent of any surplus which is due to you after the payment of all amounts due to or payable by us under paragraph (a) above.

18.4 We may withdraw Client Money and/or any other money held in a Margin Account to pay to any Broker, Clearing House, Exchange or other parties all margins, premiums and other sums on futures and options Contracts demanded or due from us in respect of our clients, and for any other purposes allowed under the Client Money Regulations.

18.5 Subject to the terms of the Client Money Regulations, any loss incurred on default by any Exchange, Clearing House or Broker in respect of Margin paid by us shall be borne by all of our clients at the date of such loss pari passu, in proportion to their respective entitlement to monies in the relevant Margin Account at that time.

18.6 Where you agree to effect transactions, or if you give instructions to us to effect transactions in a jurisdiction outside the United Kingdom, then we may need to appoint an intermediate broker, settlement agent or custodian to undertake those transactions. In order to meet the margin and settlement obligations to the relevant Exchange or Clearing House, we may need to pass your money and/or assets to an intermediate broker, settlement agent or custodian in that jurisdiction. In that event you should note that there may be different settlement and legal and regulatory requirements in these overseas jurisdictions together with different practices for the separate identification of your investments and your money might not be protected as effectively when held by such an intermediate broker as if it were held in a client bank account in the United Kingdom. You should note that in the event of a shortfall arising on the money available to meet the claims of segregated clients, your claim will be restricted to the money held in our client bank accounts in respect of transactions carried on through that intermediate broker and to any money received from the intermediate broker relating to those transactions.

18.7 The approved bank at which your money is held may be located outside the United Kingdom. You should note that the legal and regulatory regime applying to such banks may be different from that of the United Kingdom and in the event of a default of the approved bank, your money may be treated differently from the position that would apply if the money was held by an approved bank in the United Kingdom.

19. Margin Securities

19.1 Amounts you owe to us by way of Margin under Clause 18 may, in our absolute discretion, be satisfied by way of deposit or transfer of Charged Securities as security. We may, in our discretion, permit you to deliver by way of Margin, Charged Securities other than those accepted by the relevant Exchange or Clearing House as Margin. Our charges for providing this facility to you will be separately agreed with you, This Clause 19 will apply to all Securities delivered by way of Margin, Charged Securities will not (unless we agree otherwise) be registered in your name.

- 12 -

19.2 As continuing security for all your liabilities and obligations under the Customer Documents, you acting in due capacity (and with the intent that the security so constituted shall be a security in our favour extending to all beneficial interests in the assets hereby charged and to any proceeds of sale or other realisation thereof, including any redemption monies paid or payable in respect thereof) hereby assign, charge and pledge to us, free of all adverse interests whatsoever by way of first fixed charge, all Charged Securities. Each Approved Custodian will hold to our order all Charged Securities held by it for its account.

19.3 You will forthwith execute on request all transfers, assignments, mortgages, charges and other documents, give notices and directions and do any other acts and things as we may specify, to enable us or our nominee to be registered as the owner of or otherwise obtain legal title to any Charged Securities, to perfect our rights with respect to the security referred to in this Clause 19, to secure further your liabilities and obligations, to facilitate the exercise of our rights hereunder, or to satisfy any Market Requirements.

19.4 You will not, without our prior written consent, at any time during the term of this Agreement, grant or agree to grant any option over, sell, assign or transfer, or agree to attempt to sell, assign or transfer, or create, agree or attempt to create, or allow to exist any charge, lien, or other encumbrance on or over any or all of the Charged Securities, except for the charge set out above.

19.5 We will hold all Charged Securities for the purposes of satisfying any and all of your obligations and liabilities under the Customer Documents. We may, without prior notice, free of any interest therein of yours, any client of yours or any other person for whom you are trustee or agent:

(a) deposit, charge, pledge or otherwise create security over the Charged Securities with, to the order of or in favour of any Exchange, Clearing House or Broker

(i) on such terms as such Exchange or Clearing House may prescribe, and

(ii) on terms that, subject to the Rules, the Broker may deal with the Charged Securities in accordance with Market Requirements and any agreement made with us;

The relevant Exchange, Clearing House or Broker may enforce and retain such deposit, charge, pledge or other security to satisfy any obligations of yours or ours to the Exchange, Clearing House or Broker; and

(b) register, sell, realise, charge or otherwise deal with the Charged Securities on such terms (including as to the consideration received therefore) as we may in our absolute discretion think fit (with prior reference to you where practicable, but in any case with subsequent notice to you, and without being responsible for any loss or diminution in price). Any consideration received will be credited to the Margin Account.

If Charged Securities are denominated in a different currency from that in which any relevant cost, damage, loss, liability, or expense is denominated, we may convert any amount realised at such rate as we determine at the time.

- 13 -

19.6 Where we deposit, pledge or charge Charged Securities under Clause 19.59(a) the part of the proceeds of any sale of those securities exceeds: main requirements to us will be subject, in the event of our default, to the pooling rules under die Client Money Regulations. This means that money held in our Client Money bank accounts is pooled and distributed pari passu to meet the claims of all customers who are entitled to protection under the Client Money Regulations. If there is a shortfall in an overseas Client Money bank account, a separate pool may be formed for all customers whose money was held in that account.

19.7 When we are satisfied that all costs, damages, losses, liabilities and expenses incurred under the Customer Documents have been satisfied, discharged or otherwise released, we may re-transfer or, re-deliver any certificates or documents of title relating to you upon request.

19.8 You agree that if we re-transfer or re-deliver fungible Securities (whether Charged Securities or otherwise) to you, these need not be the identical Securities originally deposited, charged, or transferred to us, and you will accept Securities of the same class and denomination or other Securities which then represent the same.

19.9 Pending the re-transfer or re-delivery we will credit any income received in respect of Charged Securities, net of any Taxes payable by us (whether by withholding or otherwise) on the income, to the Margin Account. You may direct us as to the exercise of any voting or other rights attached to or conferred on any Charged Securities.

19.10 Unless the context otherwise requires, references in this Clause 19 to “we” or “us” includes references to any person holding any of the Securities or in whose name any of them may be registered.

20. Custodian activities and documents of title

20.1 We may (subject to the Rules) act, or may appoint any of our Associated Firms which are eligible custodians or any other eligible custodian (as defined by the SFA) to act, as custodians of your documents of title or certificates evidencing title to your assets (including Charged Securities, except where absolute title passes to us).

20.2 If we consider it appropriate to register your registrable assets in a name other than your own, then we may arrange such registration in the name of a nominee company, which is controlled by:

(a) ourselves;

(b) an Associated Firm;

(c) a recognised or designated investment exchange; or

(d) an eligible custodian (as defined by the Rules) which may be an Associated Firm.

Such assets will be held by such nominee on trust for you, except that, in the case of assets held by a custodian which is not an affiliate of ours, the nominee shall hold its rights against such custodian on trust for you.

- 14 -

20.3 Where, due to the nature of the law or market practice of an overseas jurisdiction, it is in your best interests, or it is not feasible to do otherwise we shall register your assets in the name of an eligible custodian or ourselves. If your assets are registered in our name you should note that your assets may not be segregated from the assets of our firm and in the event of our default you may not be as well protected.

20.4 Assets will only be held/registered outside the normal SFA requirements upon your specific written instructions. You should note that the consequences of doing so are entirely at your own risk.

20.5 Where assets are held on your behalf overseas, you should note that there may be different settlement, legal and regulatory requirements in those jurisdictions from those applying in the UK, together with different practices for the separate identification of your investments.

20.6 Your assets may be pooled with those of one or more customers. This means that individual customer entitlements may not be identifiable by separate certificates, other physical documents of title or equivalent electronic record and in the event of an unreconcilable shortfall after the default of a custodian, customers may share in that shortfall pro-rata.

20.7 We will collect any dividends, interest, or other entitlements, in cash or in kind, to which you may be entitled and of which we are notified and will remit to you such dividends or interest as soon as possible after deduction of any Taxes payable or credit them to such account of yours as we may consider appropriate.

20.8 in respect of any investments held on your behalf by us or a third party appointed by us under or pursuant to the Customer Documents, if we are notified of any voting and/or any other rights or privileges (including without limitation conversion and subscription rights and rights or privileges arising in connection with takeovers, other offers or capital reorganistions) attaching to those investments may be exercised, we will notify you as soon as reasonably practicable of such rights and/or privileges.

If you unambiguously inform us in writing within 14 days of such notice (or such shorter period as may be specified or appropriate) that you wish us to exercise the rights and/or privileges and we have sufficient cleared funds, we will do so but only on such terms as you advise in writing and which are reasonably acceptable to us.

Otherwise we will not exercise any such rights and/or privileges. Notwithstanding the absence of satisfactory instructions or sufficient funds, in the event that we are notified that subscription rights attach to any investments that we or such third party hold on your behalf we may, in our or its absolute discretion, dispose of such rights on your behalf in such manner as we think, or it thinks, fit.

20.9 If we are notified by any third party appointed by us under or pursuant to the Customer Documents, or by any company in which we or such third party hold investments on your behalf that such company intends to make calls upon those investments in respect of any monies whatsoever unpaid on them, we will notify you as soon as practicable of such calls. If you provide us with the relevant funds in sufficient time for us to do so, we will satisfy such calls on your behalf and on such terms as you advise in writing and which are reasonably practicable to us. Otherwise we shall take no action on your behalf and

- 15 -

will have no liability whatsoever in respect of the consequences of a failure to satisfy the calls made. However, where the custodian is legally liable to meet such calls it may do so and you will reimburse us forthwith upon demand.

20.10 Subject to Clauses 19, 20.11 and 24 and the Rules we are not authorised to:

(a) borrow money on your behalf against the security of your Securities; or

(b) lend any documents of title or certificates evidencing title to any third party; or

(c) otherwise use your documents of title or other documents evidencing title to investments belonging to you for our own account or for the account of another of our customers.

In each case, unless we have first entered into a written agreement with you giving us such authorisation.

20.11 (a) Without prejudice to Clause 19.5, you hereby authorise MSIL at any time or times to borrow, lend or otherwise use for its own purposes any Charged Securities without giving notice of such borrowing, lending or other use to you. MSIL may retain for its own account all fees, profits and other benefits received in connection with any such borrowing, loan or use. Upon such borrowing, lending or other use, such Charged Securities will become the absolute property of MSIL (or that of such transferee) free from the security created hereunder and from any equity, right, title or interest of yours and you will thereupon have a right against MSIL for the delivery of Securities of the same issuer, forming part of the same issue and of an identical type, nominal value, description and amount as such Charged Securities (provided that where there has been any corporate action or other events in relation to any such Charged Securities, we may determine what assets (which may consist of and include money or other property) are to be treated as equivalent for this purpose) (“Equivalent Securities”).

20.11 (b) MSIL may deliver, or procure the delivery of, Equivalent Securities to you under Clause 20,11(a) by causing such Equivalent Securities to be transferred, appropriated or designated to your account(s) charged to it from which such Securities were held prior to such use or, if not possible to do so, to such other of your accounts charged to MSIL as MSIL shall determine. Such Securities shall upon such transfer, appropriation or designation become subject to all the provisions of the Customer Documents, including, without limitation, those of Clause 19 and this Clause 20.11.

20.11 (c) Our obligation to return Equivalent Securities under this paragraph may, if we so elect, be included in any set-off of obligations of ours to you against any obligation of yours to us (whether under Clauses 24 or 28 below or otherwise), on the basis that there is for that purpose due from us to you an amount equal to the Default Market Value of such Equivalent Securities, and our obligation to return Equivalent Securities shall, if and to the extent so included, be extinguished accordingly. For this purpose -

(i) the Default Market Value of Equivalent Securities means:

(A) if during the Default Valuation Period (as defined below) we have sold Securities forming art of the same issue and being of an identical type and description to those Securities and in substantially the same amount

- 16 -

as those Securities, the net proceeds of sale (after deducting ail reasonable costs, fees and expenses incurred in connection therewith) and

(B) failing such sale during the Default Valuation Period, the market value of such Securities at the Default Valuation Time as determined by us in good faith;

(ii) the Default Valuation Period means:

(A) if the relevant set-off occurs on a day that is a dealing day in the most appropriate market for Securities of the relevant description (as determined by us), a period commencing on the opening of business on that day and ending at the close of business on the following dealing day; and

(B) in any other case, the close of business on the second dealing day in that market after the day on which the set-off occurs.

(iii) the Default Valuation Time means the end of the Default Valuation Period.

Where the amount of any Securities sold as mentioned in (i)(A) above is not identical to that of the Securities to be valued for the purposes of this definition, the Default Market Value of those Securities shall be ascertained by dividing the net proceeds of sale by the amount of the Securities sold so as to obtain a net unit price and multiplying that net unit price by the amount of the Securities to be valued.

CHAPTER IV - MATERIAL INTERESTS

24. Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx’x xxxxxx

24.1 If we have determined, in our absolute discretion, that you have not performed (or may not be able or willing in the future to perform) any of your obligations to us under or pursuant to the Customer Documents, we may (with prior notice only if reasonably practicable) take such steps as we consider necessary or desirable to comply with, perform, cancel or satisfy any of our obligations to the relevant Exchange, Clearing House or Broker in respect of any Contract or Contracts acquired on your instructions, or otherwise to protect our position, including closing out and/or performing any or all such Open Contracts.

(iii) the Non-Defaulting Party shall treat each cost or loss to it, determined as above, as a positive amount and each gain by it, so determined, as a negative amount and aggregate all of such amounts to produce a single, net positive or negative amount, denominated in the Non-Defaulting Party’s Base Currency (the “Liquidation Amount”).

Where a better price (an improvement) can be obtained, we will seek to secure and offer that improvement to you, However, you should note that where, in response to your order, we have bought or sold in accordance with the instruction in your order to buy or, as the case may be, to sell but have traded the wrong delivery/expiry month or wrong exercise price of the relevant contract, then we may in accordance with LIFFE’s Rules offset any loss arising from that trade against any improvement achieved for you in the course of correctly satisfying your order, thus offering you only the net improvements, if any.

3.2 Governing Law

This agreement and all contracts in the terms of LIFFE Contracts made under this agreement shall be subject to and construed in accordance with English Law.

3.3 Margin and Client Money/Assets

Following the transfer of a contract in the terms of a Linked LIFFE Contract and the creation of a contract in the terms of a Participating Exchange Contract or prior to the transfer of a contract in the terms of a Linked Participating Exchange Contract and the creation of a contract in the terms of a LIFFE Contract (as the case may be), margin requirements will be determined in accordance with the rules of the Participating Exchange rather than LIFFE Rules. Any money or assets held in any country other than the UK may be subject to the applicable law of that country rather than UK client money and other assets rules, and you should satisfy yourself that this is acceptable to you before instructing us to transact any such business.

3.7 Impossibility of Transfer

If it is not possible for whatever reason for details of contracts in the terms of the Linked LIFFE Contract to be transmitted by LCH, or for the relevant Participating Exchange to receive or acknowledge receipt of all such details, so that transfer of such contracts cannot occur on any particular day, and any circumstances preventing such transfer continues so that the Link is suspended or terminated, any such contract made between us during any such period shall remain as an undischarged contract in the terms of a Linked LIFFE Contract, subject to the Rules of LIFFE and the Regulations of LCH as from time to time in force, and shall be performed in accordance with its terms or may be closed out or otherwise discharged, in accordance with the Rules and any agreement reached between us.

PART THREE

SCHEDULE 3

ELECTRONIC TRADING AND ORDER ROUTING SYSTEMS

FIA DISCLOSURE STATEMENT

Electronic trading and order routing systems differ from traditional open outcry pit trading and manual order routing methods. Transactions using an electronic system are subject to the rules and regulations of the exchange(s) offering the system and/or listing the contract. Before you engage in transactions using an electronic system, you should carefully review the rules and regulations of the excham.e(s) offering the system and,or listing contracts you intend to trade.

DIFFERENCES AMONG ELECTRONIC TRADING SYSTEMS

Trading or routing orders through electronic systems varies widely among the different electronic systems. You should consult the rules and regulations of the exchange offering the electronic system and/or listing the contract traded or order routed to understand, among other things, in the case of trading systems, the system’s order matching procedure, opening and closing procedures and prices, error trade policies, and trading limitations or requirements; and in the case of all systems, qualifications for access and grounds for termination and limitations on the types of orders that may be entered into the system. Each of these matters may present different risk factors with respect to trading on or using a particular system. Each system may also present risks related to system access, varying response times, and security. in the case of internet-based systems, there may be additional types of risks related to system access, varying response times and security, as well as risks related to service providers and the receipt and monitoring of electronic mail.

RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH SYSTEM FAILURE

Trading through an electronic trading or order routing system exposes you to risks associated with system or component failure. In the event of system or component failure, it is possible that, for a certain time period, you may not be able to enter new orders, execute existing orders, or modify or cancel orders that were previously entered. System or component failure may also result in loss of orders or order priority.

SIMULTANEOUS OPEN OUTCRY PIT AND ELECTRONIC TRADING

Some contracts offered on an electronic trading system may be traded electronically and through open outcry during the same trading hours. You should review the rules and regulations of the exchange offering the system and/or listing the contract to determine how orders that do not designate a particular process will be executed.

LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

Exchanges offering an electronic trading or order routing system and/or listing the contract may have adopted rules to limit their liability, the liability of FCMs, and software and communication system vendors and the amount of damages you may collect for system failure and delays. These limitations of liability provisions vary among the exchanges. You should consult the rules and regulations of the relevant exchange(s) in order to understand these liability

RISK DISCLOSURE STATEMENT FOR FUTURES AND

OPTIONS

This brief statement does not disclose all of the risks and other significant aspects of trading in futures and options. In light of the risks, you should undertake such transactions only if you understand the nature of the contracts (and contractual relationships) into which you are entering and the extent of your exposure to risk. Trading in futures and options is not suitable for many members of the public. You should carefully consider whether trading is appropriate for you in light of your experience, objectives, financial resources and other relevant circumstances.

Futures

1. Effect of ‘Leverage’ or ‘Gearing’

Transactions in futures carry a high degree of risk. The amount of initial margin is small relative to the value of the futures contract so that transactions are ‘leveraged’ or ‘geared’, A relatively small market movement will have a proportionately larger impact on the funds you have deposited or will have to deposit: this may work against you as well as for you. You may sustain a total loss of initial margin funds and any additional funds deposited with the firm to maintain your position. If the market moves against your position or margin levels are increased, you may be called upon to pay substantial additional funds on short notice to maintain your position. If you fail to comply with a request for additional funds within the time prescribed, your position may be liquidated at a loss and you will be liable for any resulting deficit.

2. Risk-reducing orders or strategies

The placing of certain orders (e.g. `stop-loss’ orders, where permitted under local law, or ‘stop-limit’ orders) which are intended to limit losses to certain amounts may not be effective because market conditions may make it impossible to execute such orders. Strategies using combinations of positions, such as ‘spread’ and ‘straddle’ positions may be as risky as taking simple `long’ or ‘short’ positions.

Options

3. Variable degree of risk

Transactions in options carry a high degree of risk. Purchasers and sellers of options should familiarise themselves with the type of option (i.e., put or call) which they contemplate trading and the associated risks. You should calculate the extent to which the value of the options must increase for your position to become profitable, taking into account the premium and all transaction costs.

The purchaser of options may offset or exercise the options or allow the options to expire. The exercise of an option results either in a cash settlement or in the purchaser acquiring or delivering the underlying interest. If the option is on a future, the purchaser will acquire a futures position with associated liabilities for margin (see the section on Futures above). If the purchased options expire worthless, you will suffer a total loss of your investment which will consist of the option premium plus transaction costs. If you are contemplating purchasing deep-out-of-the money options, you should be aware that the chance of such options becoming profitable ordinarily is remote.

Selling (“writing’ granting”) an option generally entails considerably greater risk than purchasing options. Although the premium received by the seller is fixed, the seller may sustain a loss well in excess U that 41110C1v11- The seller will be liable for additional margin to maintain the position if the market moves unfavourably. The seller will also be exposed to the risk of the purchaser exercising the option and the seller will be obligated to either settle the option in cash or to acquire or deliver the underlying interest. If the option is on a future, the seller will acquire a position in a future with associated liabilities for margin (see the section on Futures above). If the option is ‘covered’ by the seller holding a corresponding position in the underlying interest or a future or another option, the risk may be reduced. If the option is not covered, the risk of loss can be unlimited.

Certain exchanges in some jurisdictions permit deferred payment of the option premium, exposing the purchaser to liability for margin payments not exceeding the amount of the premium. The purchaser is still subject to the risk of losing the premium and transaction costs. When the option is exercised or expires, the purchaser is responsible for any unpaid premium outstanding at that time.

Additional risks common to futures and options

4. Terms and conditions of contracts

You should ask the firm with which you deal about the terms and conditions of the specific futures or options which you are trading and associated obligations (e.g. the circumstances under which you may become obligated to make or take delivery of the underlying interest of a futures contract and, in respect of options, expiration dates and restrictions on the time for exercise). Under certain circumstances the specifications of outstanding contracts (including the exercise price of an option) may be modified by the exchange or clearing house to reflect changes in the underlying interest.

5. Suspension or restriction of trading and pricing relationships

Market conditions (e.g. illiquidity) and/or the operation of the rules of certain markets (e.g. the suspension of trading in any contract or contract month because of the price limits or ‘circuit breakers’) may increase the risk of loss by making it difficult or impossible to effect transactions or liquidate/offset positions. If you have sold options, this may increase the risk of loss.

Further, normal pricing relationships between the underlying interest and the future, and the underlying interest and the option may not exist. This can occur when, for example, the futures contract underlying the option is subject to price limits while the option is not, The absence of an underlying reference price may make it difficult to judge lair’ value.

6. Deposited cash and property

You should familiarise yourself with the protections accorded money or other property you deposit for domestic and foreign transactions, particularly in the event of a firm insolvency or bankruptcy. The extent to which you may recover your money or property may be governed by specified legislation or local rules. In some jurisdictions, property which had been specifically identifiable as your own will be pro-rated in the same manner as cash for purposes of distribution in the event of a shortfall.

7. Commission and other charges

Before you begin to trade, you should obtain a clear explanation of all commission, fees and other charges for which you will be liable. These charges will affect your net profit (if any) or increase your loss.

8. Transactions in other jurisdictions

Transactions on markets in other jurisdictions, including markets formally linked to a domestic market, may expose you to additional risk. Such markets may be subject to regulation which may offer different or diminished investor protection. Before you trade, you should enquire about any rules relevant to your particular transactions. Your local regulatory will be unable to compel the enforcement of the rules of regulatory authorities or markets in other jurisdictions where your transactions have been effected. You should ask the firm with which you deal for details about the types of redress available in both your home jurisdiction and other relevant jurisdictions before you start to trade.

9. Currency Risks

The profit or loss in transactions in foreign currency-denominated contracts (whether they are traded in you own or another jurisdiction) will be affected by fluctuations in currency rates where there is a need to convert from the currency denomination of the contract to another currency.

10. Trading facilities

Most open-outcry and electronic trading facilities are supported by computer-based component systems for the order-routing, execution, matching, registration or clearing of trades. As with all facilities and systems, they are vulnerable to temporary disruption or failure. Your ability to recover certain losses may be subject to limits on liability imposed by the system provider, the market, the clearing house and/or member firms. Such limits may vary; you should ask the firm with which you deal for details in this respect.

11. Electronic trading

Trading on an electronic trading system may differ not only from trading in an open-outcry market but also from trading on other electronic trading systems. If you undertake transactions on an electronic trading system, you will be exposed to risk associated with the system including the failure of hardware and software. The result of any system failure may be that your order is either not executed according to your instructions or is not executed at all,

12. Off-exchange transactions

In some jurisdictions, and only then in restricted circumstances, firms are permitted to effect off-exchange transactions. The firm with which you deal may be acting as your counterparty to the transaction. It may be difficult or impossible to liquidate an existing position, to assess the value, to determine a fair price or to assess the exposure to risk. For these reasons, these transactions may involve increased risks. Off-exchange transactions may be less regulated or subject to a separate regulatory regime. Before you undertake such transactions, you should familiarise yourself with applicable rules and attendant risks.
