Req uired Disclosure for Transactiit? Which the Seller 1
Retains Custody of the Purchased Securities
Seller is not. permitted to substitute other secut:ities for those sulject to this Agreement and therefore must keep Buyer's securities segregated at all ti mes, unless in this Agreement Buyer grants Seller the right to substitute other securities. If Buyer grants the right to substitute, this means that Buyer's securities will likely be commingled with Seller's own securities during the trading day. Buyer is advised that, during any trading clay that Buyer's securities are commingled with Seller's securities, they [will]* [may]** be subject to hens granted by Seller to [its clearing bank]* [third parties]** and rnay be used by Seller for deliveries on other securities transactions . Whenever the securities are commingled, Seller's ability to resegregate substitu te securi ties for Buyer will be subject to Seller's ability to satisfy [the clear ing]* [anyJ * ' lien or to obtai n substitute securities.
