THE SERVICES WE WILL PROVIDE AND DEALINGS BETWEEN YOU AND US

(1) This Agreement sets out the basis on which we will enter into Transactions with you and governs each Transaction entered into or outstanding between you and us on or after the date that this Agreement comes into effect.

(2) We will act as principal (and market maker) and not as agent on your behalf. Under the terms of the Governing Legislation you will be classified as a retail client unless your Transactions are of a value that would bring you within the category of wholesale client. The Governing Legislation also contemplates that certain clients who satisfy various criteria may be categorised as wholesale clients (irrespective of the value of their Transactions) by applying to us to be so categorised. If you meet these criteria and apply to be categorised as a wholesale client we will notify you of our decision and of your classification in writing.

(3) You will open each Transaction with us as principal and not as agent for any undisclosed person. This means that unless we have otherwise agreed in writing, we will treat you as our client for all purposes and you will be responsible for performing your obligations under each Transaction entered into by you, whether you are dealing with us directly or through an agent. If you act in connection with or on behalf of someone else, whether or not you identify that person to us, we will not accept that person as an indirect client of ours and we will accept no obligation to them unless otherwise specifically agreed in writing.

(4) Dealings with you will be carried out by us on a non-advised basis (i.e., an ‘execution-only’ basis) and you agree that, unless otherwise provided in this Agreement, we are under no obligation:

(a) to satisfy ourselves as to the suitability of any Transaction for you; (b) to monitor or advise you on the status of any Transaction; (c) to make Margin calls; or

(d) (except in the case of Limited Risk Transactions or where the Applicable Regulations require) to close any Transaction that you have opened, notwithstanding that previously we may have taken such action in relation to that Transaction or any other.

(5) We are not providing you with any investment, financial, legal, regulatory or other form of advice. You may wish to seek independent advice in relation to any Transaction you propose to enter into under this Agreement. You are required to rely on your own judgement (with or without the assistance of an advisor) in entering into, or refraining from entering into, Transactions. You are not entitled to ask us to provide you with financial product advice relating to a Transaction or to make any statement of opinion to encourage you to open a particular Transaction.

(6) We may, at our absolute discretion, provide information:

(a) in relation to any Transaction about which you have enquired, particularly regarding procedures and risks attaching to that Transaction and ways of minimising risk; and

(b) by way of factual market information, however, we will be under no obligation to disclose such information to you and in the event of us supplying such information it will not constitute financial product advice. If, notwithstanding the fact that dealings between you and us are on a non-advised basis (i.e., an ‘execution-only’ basis), one of our employees nevertheless makes a statement of opinion (whether in response to your request or otherwise) regarding any Instrument or Transaction, you agree that it is not reasonable for you to, nor will you be entitled to, rely on such statement as, and that it will not constitute, financial product advice.

(7) If the information given to you pursuant to Term 2(6)(a) and/or 2(6)(b) above is deemed to be financial product advice, you acknowledge and agree that:

(a) this information constitutes general financial product advice only;

(b) this information will have been prepared without taking into account your personal objectives, financial situation or needs; and

(c) because of this, you should, before opening any Transactions, consider the appropriateness of the information, having regard to your personal objectives, financial situation and needs.

(8) You acknowledge that the Product Details that apply at the time when you open or close a Transaction will be those displayed on our website(s), which may be updated from time to time.

(9) In the event that any information contained in the Product Disclosure Statement becomes inaccurate or out of date or if there occurs a material change in any of the matters specified in the Product Disclosure Statement or if there occurs any significant event that affects the matters specified we will issue a Supplemental Product Disclosure Statement or a new Product Disclosure Statement in accordance with the Governing Legislation. You agree that, subject to the Governing Legislation, we may provide you with any such Supplemental Product Disclosure Statement or new Product Disclosure Statement by publishing it on our website(s) and that it is your responsibility to consult our website(s) prior to placing any Transaction with us. In addition we may, at our discretion, send any Supplemental Product Disclosure Statement or new Product Disclosure Statement to you by email or by post.

(10) We offer different types of accounts with different features (for example different Margining procedures, different Margin rates, different trading limits and different risk protection features). Depending on your knowledge and experience and the type of Transactions you generally place with us, some of these account types may not be available to you. We reserve the right to convert your account into a different account type if, acting reasonably, we determine that a different type of account is more appropriate for you, more appropriate in the market circumstances or our risk appetite changes in relation to offering that account type. We also reserve the right to change the features and eligibility criteria of our accounts at any time and we will provide prior notification of such changes on our website, by email or on one of our Electronic Trading Services.

(11) From time to time, we may make additional account features, products and services or specific types of Transactions available to you. You will be notified in writing if these account features, products or services are subject to additional terms. Any additional terms applying to a particular account feature, product or service will be effective and binding on you from the date that you first enter into a Transaction or use the service governed by those terms.

(12) If you receive other services from us under a different agreement, you must not assume that we use any information collected in relation to any other service for the purposes of the services we provide to you under this Agreement. Likewise, you must not assume that we use information we receive from you in relation to the services we provide under this Agreement when we provide any other service to you under a different agreement. Notwithstanding this, we may, in our absolute discretion, use such information.

CONFLICTS OF INTEREST

(1) You acknowledge that we and our Associated Companies provide a diverse range of financial services to a broad range of clients and counterparties and circumstances may arise in which we, our Associated Companies, or a Relevant Person may have a material interest in a Transaction with or for you or where a conflict of interest may arise between your interests and those of other clients or counterparties or of ourselves, our Associated Companies or a Relevant Person.

(2) We are required by law to take all appropriate steps to identify conflicts of interests between ourselves, our Associated Companies and Relevant Persons and our clients, or between one client and another, that arise in the course of providing our financial services. The following are examples of such material interests and conflicts of interests:

(a) we may effect or arrange for the effecting of a Transaction with you or on your behalf in connection with which we, our Associated Companies or a Relevant Person may have other direct or indirect material interests;

(b) we may execute hedging transactions prior to (i.e. in anticipation of) or following receipt from you of a request, or information concerning a contemplated request, to open or close a Transaction in order to manage our risk in relation to Transaction(s) you are entering into or contemplating, all of which may impact on the price you pay or receive in relation to such Transaction(s) and any profits generated by such hedging may be retained by us or an Associated Company without reference to you;

(d) subject to the Governing Legislation, we may pay to and accept from third parties (and not be liable to account to you) benefits, commissions or remunerations which are paid or received as a result of Transactions conducted by you;

(e) we or any of our Associated Companies may make a market in Transactions which you enter into under this Agreement;

(f) we or any of our Associated Companies may deal in the Underlying Market to which your Transactions relate as principal for our own account or that of someone else; and

(g) we or any of our Associated Companies may give general investment or financial product advice or provide other services to another client about or concerning the Underlying Market in relation to which you enter a Transaction.

(3) We have in place organisational and administrative controls to manage the conflicts of interests identified above such that we can be reasonably confident that risks of damage to clients as a result of any conflict will be prevented.

(4) We are not under any obligation to account to you for any profit, commission or remuneration made or received from or by reason of Transactions or circumstances in which we, our Associated Companies or a Relevant Person has a material interest or where in particular circumstances a conflict of interest may exist.

(5) You acknowledge that you are aware of the possibility that the conflicts disclosed in this Term will arise and consent to us acting notwithstanding such conflict.

PROVIDING A QUOTE

(1) You may request a quote to open a Transaction or to close all or any part of a Transaction at any time during our normal hours of trading for the Instrument in respect of which you wish to open or close the Transaction. Outside those hours, we will be under no obligation to but may, at our absolute discretion, provide a quote and accept and act on your offer to open or close a Transaction. We may notify you of certain Instruments in respect of which we will not quote, restrictions on the amount for which we will quote, or other conditions that may apply to our quote, but any such notification will not be binding on us.

(2) Upon your request, in accordance with Terms 4(1) and 4(4), we will quote a higher and lower figure for each Transaction (“our bid and offer prices”). These figures will be based on either the bid and offer prices in the Underlying Market (“Commission Transaction”) or our own bid and offer prices (“Spread Transaction”). Details may be found in the Product Details or may be obtained from one of our employees on request.

(3) You acknowledge that both our Spread Charge (being our charge to you) and Market Spread (where there is an Underlying Market) can widen significantly in some circumstances, that they may not be the same size as in the Product Details and that there is no limit on how large they may be. You acknowledge that when you close a Transaction, the Spread may be larger or smaller than the Spread when the Transaction was opened. For Transactions transacted when the Underlying Market is closed or in respect of Transactions where there is no Underlying Market, the figures that we quote will reflect what we believe the market price in an Instrument is at that time. You acknowledge that such figures will be set by us at our reasonable discretion.

(4) If we choose to provide a quote, we may provide a quote either orally by telephone or electronically via one of our Electronic Trading Services or by such other means as we may from time to time notify to you. Our provision of a quote to you does not constitute an offer to open or close a Transaction at those levels. A Transaction will be initiated by:

(a) you offering to open or close a Transaction in respect of a specified Instrument at the level quoted by us; or

(b) you placing an Order to open or close a Transaction in respect of a specified Instrument at a level specified by you in that Order and that Order being triggered in accordance with the terms of that order type.

(5) When you offer to open or close a Transaction in respect of a specified Instrument at the level quoted by us, we may, acting reasonably, accept or reject your offer at any time until the Transaction has been executed or we have acknowledged that your offer has been withdrawn.

(6) A Transaction will be opened or, as the case may be, closed only when your offer has been received and accepted by us. Our acceptance of an offer to open or close a Transaction, and thus the execution of the Transaction, will be evidenced by our confirmation of its terms to you.

(7) If we become aware that any of the factors set out in Term 4(8) are not satisfied at the time you offer to open or close a Transaction, we reserve the right to reject your offer. If we have, nevertheless, already opened or closed a Transaction prior to becoming aware that a factor set out in Term 4(8) has not been met we may, at our absolute discretion, treat such a Transaction as void from the outset, close it at our then prevailing price or allow it to remain open. You acknowledge that if we allow the Transaction to remain open this may result in you incurring losses. Notwithstanding the existence of a factor set out in Term 4(8), we may allow you to open or, as the case may be, close the Transaction in which case you will be bound by the opening or closing of such Transaction.

(8) The factors referred to in Term 4(7) include, but are not limited to, the following:

(a) the quote must be obtained from us as set out in Term 4(4);

(b) the quote must not be expressed as being given on an ‘indicative only’ or similar basis;

(d) your offer to open or close the Transaction, and our acceptance of your offer, must be given while the quote is still valid;

(e) the telephone conversation or Electronic Conversation in which you offer to open or close the Transaction must not be terminated before we have received and accepted your offer;

(f) when your offer to open or close a Transaction is not for a specified number of shares, contracts or other units that constitute the underlying Instrument;

(g) when you offer to open a Transaction, the number of shares, contracts or other units in respect of which the Transaction is to be opened is neither smaller than the Minimum Size nor larger than the Normal Market Size;

(h) when you offer to close part but not all of an open Transaction both the part of the Transaction that you offer to close and the part that would remain open if we accepted your offer is not smaller than the Minimum Size;

(i) when you offer to open or close any Transaction, the opening or closing of the Transaction does not result in your exceeding any credit or other limit placed on your dealings;

(j) when you offer to open a Transaction an Event of Default must not have occurred in respect of you, nor must you have acted in such a way as to trigger an Event of Default; or

(k) a Force Majeure event must not have occurred.

(9) Each Transaction opened or closed by you will be valid and binding on you notwithstanding that the opening or closing of the Transaction may have exceeded any credit or other limit applicable to you or in respect of your dealings with us. A Transaction will be valid and binding on you regardless of it being opened or closed as a result of any inaccuracy or mistake by you.

(10) We reserve the right to refuse any offer to open or close a Transaction larger than the Normal Market Size. Our quotation for a Transaction equal to or greater than Normal Market Size is not guaranteed to be within any specific percentage of any Underlying Market or related market quotation and our acceptance of your offer may be subject to special conditions and requirements that we will advise to you at the time we accept your offer. We will inform you of the Normal Market Size for a particular Instrument on request.

(11) If, before your offer to open or close a Transaction is accepted by us, our quote moves to your advantage (for example, if the price goes down as you buy or the price goes up as you sell) you agree that we may (but do not have to) pass such price improvement on to you. The effect of such action being that the level at which you offer to open or close a Transaction will, upon acceptance by us, be altered to the more favourable price. You acknowledge that it is in your best interests for us to alter the level of your offer in the manner contemplated in this Term and you agree that any offer altered in accordance with this Term, once accepted by us, results in a fully binding agreement between us. It is at our absolute discretion as to when we will pass on a price improvement to you, but you should note that we will generally only pass on a price improvement when the market you are trading is volatile. You should also note that we will only pass on a price improvement within allowable limits, and we reserve our right set out in Term 4(5) to reject any offer by you to open or close a Transaction. For the avoidance of doubt, this Term does not permit us to alter your offer price if to do so would result in your opening or closing (as the case may be) a Transaction at a less favourable price than your offer.

(12) Where an Instrument trades on multiple Underlying Markets, one of which is the primary Underlying Market, you agree that we may but are not required to base our bid and offer prices on the aggregate bid and offer prices in the Underlying Markets.

(13) You agree that our bid and offer prices are provided to you solely for the purpose of you entering into Transactions with us and that you shall not use or rely on our bid and offer prices for any other purpose.

OPENING A TRANSACTION

(1) You will open a Transaction by ‘buying’ or ‘selling’. In this Agreement a Transaction that is opened by ’buying’ is referred to as a “Buy” and may also, in our dealings with you, be referred to as ‘long’ or ‘long position’; a Transaction that is opened by ‘selling’ is referred to as a “Sell” and may also, in our dealings with you, be referred to as ‘short’ or ‘short position’.

(2) Subject to Term 4(11), when you open a Buy, the Opening Level will be the higher figure quoted by us for the Transaction and when you open a Sell, the Opening Level will be the lower figure quoted by us for the Transaction. This will not be the case when:

(a) your opening level is improved in accordance with Term 4(11), where your opening level will be the more favourable price; and

(b) a Transaction is initiated pursuant to an Order, where your opening level will be in accordance with the parameters set out in that Order and the terms of that Order.

(3) Unless we agree otherwise, all sums payable by you pursuant to Term 8(2) upon opening are due immediately on entering into the Transaction and must be paid in accordance with Term 16 upon the Opening Level of your Transaction being determined by us.

UNDATED TRANSACTIONS

(1) Subject to this Agreement and any requirement we may specify in relation to Linked Transactions, you may close an open Undated Transaction or any part of such open Undated Transaction at any time.

(2) Subject to Term 4(11), when you close an Undated Transaction, the Closing Level will be, if you are closing an Undated Transaction that is a Buy, the lower figure then quoted by us and, if you are closing an Undated Transaction that is a Sell, the higher figure then quoted by us. This will not be the case when:

(a) your closing level is improved in accordance with Term 4(11), where your closing level will be the more favourable price; and

(b) a Transaction is initiated pursuant to an Order, where your closing level will be in accordance with the parameters set out in that Order and the terms of that Order.

EXPIRY TRANSACTIONS

(3) Subject to this Agreement and any requirement we may specify in relation to Linked Transactions, you may close an open Expiry Transaction or any part of such open Expiry Transaction at any time prior to the Last Dealing Time for that Instrument.

(4) Details of the applicable Last Dealing Time for each Instrument will normally be available in the Product Details and may be obtained from one of our employees on request. It is your responsibility to make yourself aware of the Last Dealing Time or, as the case may be, the expiry time for a particular product.

(5) Subject to Term 4(11), when you close an Expiry Transaction prior to the Last Dealing Time for the Instrument, the Closing Level will, if the Transaction is a Buy, be the lower figure then quoted by us and if the Transaction is a Sell, the higher figure then quoted by us.

GENERAL PROVISIONS

(11) Our additional rights to void and/or close one or more of your Transactions in specific circumstances are set out in other Terms

(12) We reserve the right to aggregate the instructions we receive from our clients to close Transactions. Aggregation means that we may combine your instruction with those of other clients of ours for execution as a single order. We may combine your instruction to close with those of other clients if we reasonably believe that this is in the overall best interests of our clients as a whole. However, on occasions, aggregation may result in you obtaining a less favourable price once your instruction to close has been executed. You acknowledge and agree that we shall not have any liability to you as a result of any such less favourable price being obtained.

(13) Upon closing a Transaction, and subject to any applicable adjustments for interest and dividends in accordance with this Agreement:

(a) you will pay us the difference between the Opening Level of the Transaction and Closing Level of the Transaction multiplied by the number of units of the Instrument that comprise the Transaction if the Transaction is:

(i) a Sell and the Closing Level of the Transaction is higher than the Opening Level of the Transaction; or

(ii) a Buy and the Closing Level of the Transaction is lower than the Opening Level of the Transaction; and

(b) we will pay you the difference between the Opening Level of the Transaction and the Closing Level of the Transaction multiplied by the number of units of the Instrument that comprise the Transaction if the Transaction is:

(i) a Sell and the Closing Level of the Transaction is lower than the Opening Level of the Transaction; or

(ii) a Buy and the Closing Level of the Transaction is higher than the Opening Level of the Transaction.

(14) Unless we agree otherwise, all sums payable by you pursuant to Term 7(13)(a) and Term 8(2) are due immediately on entering into the Transaction and must be paid in accordance with Term 16 upon the Closing Level of your Transaction being determined by us. Sums payable by us pursuant to Term 7(13)(b) will be settled in accordance with Term 16(5).

(15) We reserve the right to alter your Closing Level in accordance with Term 4(11).

(16) You acknowledge that when expressly and formally agreed in writing by you and us (by a director of ours):

(a) in respect of a Buy, at the end of the contract period (for Expiry Transactions that you have elected not to automatically roll over to the next contract period) or on the date you choose to close the Transaction (for Undated Transaction) you will take from us delivery of, and make to us payment for, the Instrument in respect of which you have opened the Buy;

(b) in respect of a Sell, at the end of the contract period (for Expiry Transactions that you have elected not to automatically roll over to the next contract period) or on the date you choose to close the Transaction (for Undated Transaction) you will deliver to us the Instrument in respect of which you have opened the Sell.

FEES AND CHARGES

Details of these charges may be found in the Product Details section of our website or may be obtained from one of our employees on request.

We will use reasonable endeavours to ensure an acceptable service but you accept that the price data displayed in any such Third Party Electronic Trading Services may be delayed and that we do not guarantee the accuracy or completeness of the data, either current or historical, and that we do not guarantee that the service will be uninterrupted. Furthermore you acknowledge and agree that in the event of any discrepancy between the data (pricing or otherwise) in the Third Party Electronic Trading Service and our other Electronic Trading Services, the data in our other Electronic Trading Services will prevail.

(23) You use any Third Party Electronic Trading Services at your own risk. In no event will we be held liable for any claim, damages or other liability, including loss of funds, indirect losses (such as loss of profits), data or service interruptions, whether in an action of contract, tort or otherwise, arising from, out of or in connection with the use, operation, performance and/or error or malfunction of any Third Party Electronic Trading Service and/or any services provided by any Third Party Electronic Trading Service provider other than as a result of our fraud, wilful default or negligence.

DEALING PROCEDURES AND REPORTING

INFRINGEMENT OF APPLICABLE REGULATIONS

(1) We will not be under any duty to open or close any Transaction or to remit any money on your account to you if we reasonably believe that to do so would infringe any Applicable Regulation or Term of this Agreement. In the event that we have opened a Transaction before coming to such a belief we may, at our absolute discretion, either close such a Transaction at the then prevailing bid price (in the case of Buy Transactions) or offer price (in the case of Sell Transactions) or treat that Transaction as having been void from the outset.

(2) You agree that we may take any action in relation to Transactions or money on your account that we consider, acting reasonably, appropriate after receiving instructions from a relevant regulatory authority or to comply with any Applicable Regulation or Term of this Agreement.

SITUATIONS NOT COVERED BY THIS AGREEMENT

(3) In the event that a situation arises that is not covered under this Agreement or the Product Details, we will resolve the matter on the basis of good faith and fairness and, where appropriate, by taking such action as is consistent with market practice and/or paying due regard to the treatment we receive from any hedging broker with which we have hedged our exposure to you arising from the Transaction in question.

REGULATORY REPORTING

(4) We may be obliged under Applicable Regulations to make public certain information regarding our Transactions with you. You acknowledge and agree that we are entitled to disclose such information and that such information held by us shall be our sole and exclusive property.

(5) You agree to provide us with all information that we may reasonably request for the purpose of complying with our obligations under Applicable Regulations and that you consent for us to provide to any third party such information about you and your relationship with us pursuant to this Agreement (including but not limited to your Transactions or money on your account) as we consider, acting reasonably, appropriate or as required to comply with any Applicable Regulation or Term of this Agreement.

(6) If you are a legal entity, our Transactions with you may need to be reported under Applicable Regulations. If they are required to be reported, you agree that we will generate the unique trade identifier in relation to each relevant Transaction. Please contact one of our employees for this information or visit our website.

GENERAL

(12) Additional dealing procedures are set out in the Product Disclosure Statement, as amended from time to time, and any other documents provided by us to you from time to time, none of which form part of this Agreement unless expressly stated otherwise.

MANIFEST ERROR

(1) We reserve the right to either void from the outset or amend the terms of any Transaction containing or based on any error that we reasonably believe to be obvious or palpable (a “Manifest Error” and any such Transaction a “Manifestly Erroneous Transaction”), without your consent. If, in our reasonable discretion, we choose to amend the terms of any such Manifestly Erroneous Transaction, the amended level will be such level as we reasonably believe would have been fair at the time the Transaction was entered into. In deciding whether an error is a Manifest Error we shall act reasonably and we may take into account any relevant information including, without limitation, the state of the Underlying Market at the time of the error or any error in, or lack of clarity of, any information source or pronouncement upon which we base our quoted prices. Any financial commitment that you have entered into or refrained from entering into in reliance on a Transaction with us will not be taken into account in deciding whether or not there has been a Manifest Error.

(2) In the absence of our fraud, wilful default or negligence, we will not be liable to you for any loss, cost, claim, demand or expense following a Manifest Error (including where the Manifest Error is made by any information source, commentator or official on whom we reasonably rely) or in relation to a Manifestly Erroneous Transaction.

(3) If a Manifest Error has occurred and we choose to exercise any of our rights under Term 11(1), and if you have received any monies from us in connection with the Manifest Error, you agree that those monies are due and payable to us and you agree to return an equal sum to us without delay.

ORDERS

(1) We may, at our absolute discretion, accept an Order from you. An Order is an offer to open or close a Transaction if the instructions specified by you in an Order are satisfied (such as if our price moves to, or beyond a level specified by you). Examples of such Orders are:

(a) A Stop Order, which is an offer to deal if our quote becomes less favourable to you. A Stop Order is generally placed to provide some risk protection, for example in the event of your Transaction moving into loss, and can be used to either open or close a Transaction. Each Stop Order has a specific stop level, set by you. Your Stop Order will be triggered if our bid price (in the case of an Order to Sell) or our offer price (in the case of an Order to Buy) moves against you to a point that is at or beyond the level specified by you. The exception to this is Stop Orders placed in respect of Transactions on Order Book Shares, which are triggered only if and when a deal takes place on the Underlying Market for that Order Book Share at a price that is at or beyond your specified stop level. Once a Stop Order is triggered we will, in accordance with Term 12(3) and subject to Term 12(4), open or as the case may be close a Transaction at a level that is the same or worse than your stop level.

(b) A Trailing Stop, which is similar to a Stop Order, but it allows you to set a floating stop level that automatically moves when our quote moves in your favour. A Trailing Stop is triggered and executed in the same way as a Stop Order as set out in Term 12(3) and subject to Term 12(4). By using our Trailing Stop functionality, you acknowledge the following: (i) Trailing Stops are an automated tool that must be used with caution and must be supervised by you; and (ii) we do not guarantee to operate our Trailing Stop system on a continuous basis so there may be instances in which your stop level might not in fact move with our current quote for the relevant Instrument, for example: where our Trailing Stop functionality (i.e. the systems and technology that operate our Trailing Stops) is inactive; or where our current quote for the relevant Instrument is Manifestly Erroneous; or where there has been a large, short term price movement in our quote for the relevant Instrument that is unrepresentative of current Underlying Market conditions.

(c) A Limit Order, which is an instruction to deal if our quote becomes more favourable to you. A ‘take profit’ Order is an Attached Limit Order. A Limit Order can be used to either open or close a Transaction. Each Limit Order has a specified limit, set by you. Your Limit Order will be triggered if our bid price (in the case of an Order to Sell) or our offer price (in the case of an order to Buy) moves in your favour to a point that is at or beyond your specified limit. Once a Limit Order is triggered we will, in accordance with Term 12(3) and subject to Term 12(4), seek to open or close a Transaction at a level that is the same or better than your limit. If we cannot do so because at the time we seek to execute your Order, our bid and offer price has become less favourable to you, your Limit Order will remain operational, waiting for prices to move again in your favour such that it is triggered.

(d) A Market Order, which is an instruction to deal now in a specified size at the best available price for that size. Market Orders are useful when you wish to deal but may be unable to deal in your desired size at the quoted bid and offer price. You do not have any control over what price your Market Order will be filled at. When you place a Market Order with us you acknowledge that such Market Order allows us to execute your Transaction at a price that is worse than our quoted bid and offer price at the time you place the Market Order. A Market Order is triggered as soon as it is accepted by us.

(e) A Points through current Order, which is an instruction to deal now in a specified size up to a price set by you which is less favourable than our then current bid (in the case of an order to Sell) or offer (in the case of an order to Buy). Points through current Orders are useful when you wish to deal but may be unable to deal in your desired size at the quoted bid and offer price and you are not prepared to have your order filled at a price worse than the price set by you (unlike if you used a Market Order where you have no control over the price your order is filled at). When you place a Points through current Order with us you acknowledge that such Order authorises us to execute your Transaction at a price that is worse than our quoted bid and offer price at the time you place the Points through current Order but not at a price worse than the price set by you. A Points through current Order is triggered as soon as it is accepted by us.

(f) A Partial Order, which is an instruction to deal now at the size specified by you or, if there is not sufficient liquidity at that size, in the largest size possible. A Partial Order is useful if you want to increase the likelihood of at least part of your Order being filled. If your Order is filled, the size of your Order may be less than the size specified by you. Partial Orders can be used in conjunction with other Orders. When you place a Partial Order with us you acknowledge that such Partial Order allows us to execute your Transaction in a size that is smaller than the size specified by you. A Partial Order is triggered as soon as it is accepted by us.

(2) You may specify that an Order is to apply:

(a) until the next close of business for the relevant Underlying Market (a ‘day order’), which, for the avoidance of doubt, will include any overnight trading sessions on the Underlying Market. Please note that for Limit Orders placed on the phone, we will assume that you wish to place a ‘day order’ unless you specify some other duration; or

(b) until a date and time specified by you (but such an Order may only be an Unattached Order and may only be placed in respect of a daily or quarterly Transaction); or

(c) for an indefinite period (a “Good Till Cancelled Order” or “GTC Order”), which, for the avoidance of doubt, will include any overnight trading sessions on the Underlying Market.

We may, at our absolute discretion, accept standing Orders that will apply for some other specified duration. We may act on any such Order irrespective of the length of time for which the specified level in relation to that Order is reached or exceeded.

(3) If your Order is triggered (as set out in Term 12(1) above), we will seek to open or close the Transaction to which your Order relates. You acknowledge and agree that the time and level at which Orders are executed and the size of your Order will be determined by us, acting reasonably. In this regard:

(a) We will seek to execute your Order within a reasonable time of your Order being triggered. Because there may be a manual element to our processing of Orders and because it is possible for a single sudden event to trigger a large number of Orders, you acknowledge and agree that what constitutes

a ‘reasonable time’ may vary according to the size of your Order, the level of activity in the Underlying Market, and the number of Orders that have been triggered at the time your Order is triggered.

(b) At the time we are seeking to execute your Order, we will have regard to the price that could be achieved in the Underlying Market for a similar order (including as to size).

(4) By using our Orders, you expressly acknowledge and agree that:

(a) Details about how each of the Orders work are set out in the Product Disclosure Statement which it is your responsibility to read and understand in full. It is also your responsibility to understand how an Order operates before you place any such Order with us. You will not place an Order unless you fully understand the terms and conditions attached to such Order. Details about how Orders work are available in the Product Details or from one of our employees on request.

(b) Whether or not we accept an Order is at our absolute discretion. Not all Orders are available on all Transactions, nor on all Electronic Trading Services.

(d) Save for Stop Orders on Order Book Shares, the triggering of your Order is linked to our bid and offer prices, not the bid and offer prices on the Underlying Market. Our bid and offer prices may differ from the bid and offer prices in the Underlying Market. The effect of such is that your Order may be triggered even though: (i) our bid or offer, as the case may be, moved to or through the level of your Order for only a short period; and (ii) the Underlying Market never traded at the level of your Order.

(e) Notwithstanding Term 12(1)(a), if you have a Stop Order that relates to an exchange traded product that despite being an Order Book Share actually behaves more like a Market Maker Share (for example, an exchange traded fund or an exchange traded commodity), we reserve the right to trigger your Stop Order based on our bid and offer prices even if the Underlying Market has not traded at your specified Stop Order level. Further details of the relevant Instruments that may be impacted by this sub-Term are available from one of our employees upon request.

(f) For the purposes of determining whether an Order has been triggered, we will be entitled (but not obliged), at our absolute discretion, to disregard any prices quoted by us during any pre-market, post-market or intra-day auction periods in the relevant Underlying Market, during any intra-day or other period of suspension in the relevant Underlying Market, or during any other period that in our reasonable opinion may give rise to short-term price spikes or other distortions.

(g) Following your Order being triggered, we do not guarantee that a Transaction will be opened or closed, nor do we guarantee that if opened or closed it will be done so at your specified size, level or limit.

(h) We reserve the right both to work and to aggregate Orders. Working an Order may mean that your Order is executed in tranches at different prices, resulting in an aggregate opening or closing level for your Transaction that may differ both from your specified level and from the price that would have been attained if the Order had been executed in a single tranche. Aggregating an Order means that we combine your Order with the Orders of other clients of ours for execution as a single Order. We may do this only if we reasonably believe that this is in the overall best interests of clients as a whole. However, on occasions, aggregation may result in you obtaining a less favourable price in relation to any particular Order. You acknowledge and agree that we shall not, under any such circumstances, have any liability to you as a result of any such working or aggregation of your Orders.

(5) You may, with our prior consent (and such consent will not be unreasonably withheld), cancel or amend the level of an Order at any time before our quote reaches or goes beyond the relevant level. However, once the level has been reached, you may not cancel or amend the Order unless we expressly agree to permit you to do so.

(6) If you place an Attached Order then:

(a) if, when the Order is executed, it will be capable of closing or partly closing the Transaction to which the Attached Order relates, and you subsequently offer to close that Transaction prior to the level of the Attached Order being reached, we will treat that offer to close as a request to cancel the Attached Order. You acknowledge that it is your responsibility to inform us, when you close a Transaction, whether you wish any related un-triggered Attached Order(s) to remain valid, and that, unless otherwise agreed by us, any un-triggered Attached Order(s) will be cancelled; and

(b) if the Transaction to which the Attached Order relates is only partially closed by you then the Attached Order will be adjusted to the size of the Transaction that remains open and will remain in full force and effect.

(7) If we accept an Order and then an event takes place which means that it is no longer reasonable for us to act on that Order, we will be entitled to disregard or cancel your Order. If we disregard or cancel your Order then we shall not have any liability to you as a result of such action and we shall not re-enter that Order. Examples include but are not limited to:

(a) a change in the Applicable Regulations, so that the Order or the Transaction to which the Order relates is no longer in compliance with the Applicable Regulations;

(b) a stock to which the Order relates becomes un-borrowable so that we are no longer able to hedge our exposure, or part of our exposure, to you;

(c) for Orders relating to shares, an event takes place in respect of the company whose shares represent all or part of the subject matter of the Order, for example, a Corporate Event, dividend or the insolvency of the company; or

(d) if we cease to offer the type of Transaction to which your Order relates.

LIMITED RISK

(1) You may request us to open a Limited Risk Transaction and ask for a specific stop level to apply to such Limited Risk Transaction. Any such request must be agreed by us (including as to the stop level) acting in our absolute discretion.

(2) We guarantee that when your agreed stop level is triggered in accordance with Term 13(3), we will, subject to Term 4(11), close a Limited Risk Transaction at that agreed stop level.

(3) Your agreed stop level will be triggered when our bid price (in the case of an order to Sell) or our offer price (in the case of an order to Buy) moves against you to a point that is at or beyond the agreed stop level. The exception to this is a Limited Risk Transaction on Order Book Shares, which only triggers your specified stop level if and when a deal takes place on the Underlying Market for those Order Book Shares at a price that is at or beyond your specified stop level. For the purposes of determining whether a Stop Order for a Limited Risk Transaction has been triggered, we will be entitled (but not obliged) to disregard any prices quoted by us during any pre-market, post-market or intra-day auction periods in the relevant Underlying Market, during any intra-day or other period of suspension in the relevant Underlying Market, or during any other period that in our reasonable opinion may give rise to short-term price spikes or other distortions.

(4) Once you have opened a Limited Risk Transaction, you may only remove or change the level at which the Transaction will be automatically closed with our consent (which we may, at our absolute discretion, withhold) and upon payment of any additional Limited Risk Premium that may be required. You may request us to convert an open Transaction to a Limited Risk Transaction and ask for a specific stop level to apply to such Limited Risk Transaction. Any such request must be agreed by us (including as to the stop level) acting in our absolute discretion.

(5) Where you open a Limited Risk Transaction in respect of a particular Instrument that is (i) a Buy and you subsequently offer to Sell (which is also a Limited Risk Transaction) in respect of the same Instrument; or (ii) a Sell and you subsequently offer to Buy (which is also a Limited Risk Transaction) in respect of the same Instrument, we will treat the offer to Sell or, as the case may be, Buy, as an offer to close all or any part of the Limited Risk Transaction.

(6) Where you open a Limited Risk Transaction, in addition to the usual opening Spread or Commission that you pay us under Terms 8(1) and 8(2), you also agree to pay us a Limited Risk Premium. If we, at our absolute discretion, agree to convert a non-Limited Risk Transaction to a Limited Risk Transaction for you, you will pay us a Limited Risk Premium. The Limited Risk Premium will be as set out in the Product Details or as otherwise notified to you. Unless we agree otherwise, any Limited Risk Premium shall be due and must be paid when your stop level is triggered and your Limited Risk Transaction is closed. Any due Limited Risk Premium shall be paid in accordance with Term 16.

(7) Where you open a Limited Risk Transaction, and while that Limited Risk Transaction is open, we make a dividend adjustment in accordance with Term 24(8) and we reserve the right to amend the guaranteed stop level that applies to your Limited Risk Transaction by the size of the dividend adjustment.

COMMUNICATIONS

(1) An offer to open or close a Transaction (or an Order) must be made by you, or on your behalf: orally, by telephone; via one of our Electronic Trading Services; or in such other manner as we may specify from time to time. If your usual mode of communicating with us is unavailable for any reason, you should attempt to use one of the other modes of acceptable communication specified above. For example, if you usually open and close Transactions via one of our Electronic Trading Services, but for some reason our Electronic Trading Services are not in operation, you should contact us via the telephone to open or close Transactions. Written offers to open or close a Transaction, including offers sent by email (including a secure email sent via one of our Electronic Trading Services) or text message, will not be accepted or be effective for the purposes of this Agreement. Any communication that is not an offer to open or close a Transaction must be made by you, or on your behalf: orally, by telephone or in person; in writing, by email, post; or in such other manner as we may specify from time to time. If sent to us by post, a communication must be sent to our head office and, if sent to us by email, it must be sent to an email address currently designated by us for that particular purpose. Any such communication will only be deemed to have been received by us upon our actual receipt thereof.

(2) We will generally not accept an offer to open or close a Transaction received other than in accordance with Term 14(1), but if we choose to do so we will not be responsible for any loss, damage or cost that you suffer or incur arising out of any error, delay or omission in us acting on such offer, or failing to act upon such offer.

(3) If at any time you are unable, for whatever reason, to communicate with us, we do not receive any communication sent by you, or you do not receive any communication sent by us under this Agreement, we will not:

(a) be responsible for any loss, damage or cost suffered by you as a result of any act, error, delay or omission resulting therefrom where such loss, damage or cost is a result of your inability to open a Transaction; and

(b) except where your inability to communicate with us results from our fraud, wilful default or negligence, be responsible for any loss, damage or cost suffered by you as a result of any act, error, omission or delay resulting from such inability to communicate including without limitation, where such loss, damage or cost is a result of your inability to close a Transaction.

(4) You acknowledge and agree that any communication transmitted by you or on your behalf is made at your risk and you authorise us to rely and act on, and treat as fully authorised and binding on you, any communication (whether or not in writing) that we reasonably believe to have been transmitted by you or on your behalf by any agent or intermediary who we reasonably believe to have been duly authorised by you. You acknowledge and agree that we will rely on your account number and/or password and/ or Security Details to identify you and you agree that you will not disclose these details to any person not duly authorised by you. If you suspect that your account number and/ or password and/or Security Details has been learnt or may be used by any other person then you must notify us immediately.

(5) You agree that we may record any communications, electronic, by telephone, in person or otherwise, that we have with you in relation to this Agreement and that any recordings that we keep will be our sole property and you accept that they will constitute evidence of the communications between us. You agree that telephone conversations may be recorded without the use of a warning tone or any other further notice.

(6) In accordance with the Applicable Regulations, we will provide information about each Transaction that we open or, as the case may be, close for you by providing you with a Statement. Statements will be posted on one of our Electronic Trading Services (and you specifically consent to our providing you with Statements in this manner) and, if so requested by you also emailed or posted to you, on or before the business day following the day on which the Transaction is opened or, as the case may be, closed. If you elect to receive your Statements by post, we reserve the right to levy an administration charge.

(7) You will be deemed to have acknowledged and agreed with the content of any Statement and the details of each Transaction set out in any Statement that we make available to you unless you notify us to the contrary in writing within two business days of the date on which you are deemed to have received it in accordance with Term 14(10) below.

(8) Our failure to provide you with a Statement does not invalidate nor make voidable a Transaction that you and we have agreed and we have confirmed in accordance with Term 4(6), provided however that in the event that you believe you have opened or closed a Transaction but we have not provided you with a Statement in respect of that Transaction, any query in relation to the purported Transaction will not be entertained unless: (i) you notify us that you have not received such Statement within two business days of the date on which you ought to have received a Statement for the purported Transaction, and (ii) you can provide accurate details of the time and date of the purported Transaction and supporting evidence, to our reasonable satisfaction, of the purported Transaction.

(9) We may communicate with you by telephone, letter, email or text message or by posting a message on one of our Electronic Trading Services and you consent to us telephoning you at any time whatsoever. We will use the address, phone or email address specified on your account opening form or such other address, phone or email address as you may subsequently notify to us or any email address allocated to you within our Electronic Trading Services. Unless you expressly specify otherwise, you specifically agree that we may send the following notices to you by email and/or by posting them on an Electronic Trading Service:

(a) statements;

(b) notice of an amendment to the way in which we provide our service to you, for example changes in the features of our Transactions or your account, changes to any Electronic Trading Service, changes to the Margin rates that apply to our Transactions, changes to the credit arrangements in relation to your account and changes to Commission, Spread, Charges or Taxes that apply to our Transactions or your account;

We will not send you a paper copy of a Message sent to you by email or posted to one of our Electronic Trading Services. Sending a Message to you by email or by posting it to one of our Electronic Trading Services in a durable medium fully complies with all our obligations under the Agreement and the Applicable Regulations.

(10) Any correspondence, documents, written notices, legal notices, confirmations,

Messages or Statements will be deemed to have been properly given:

(a) if sent by post to the address last notified by you to us, on the next business day after being deposited in the post;

(b) if delivered to the address last notified by you to us, immediately on being deposited at such address;

(c) if sent by text message, as soon as we have transmitted it to any of the mobile telephone numbers last notified by you to us;

(c) if we leave a voicemail, as soon as the message is completed and left on any of the mobile telephone numbers last notified by you to us;

(e) if sent by email, one hour after we have transmitted it to the email address last notified by you to us; and

(f) if posted on one of our Electronic Trading Services, as soon as it has been posted.

(11) It is your responsibility to ensure, at all times, that we have been notified of your current and correct address and contact details. Any change to your address or contact details must be notified to us immediately in writing, unless we agree to another form of communication.

(12) It is your responsibility to make sure that you read all notices posted on our website and on one of our Electronic Trading Services from time to time in a timely manner.

(13) Although email, the internet, Electronic Trading Services and other forms of electronic communication are often a reliable way to communicate, no electronic communication is entirely reliable or always available. You acknowledge and accept that a failure or delay by you to receive any communication from us sent by email, text message or otherwise whether due to mechanical, software, computer, telecommunications or other electronic systems failure, does not in any way invalidate or otherwise prejudice that communication or any transaction to which it relates. We will not be liable to you for any loss or damage, howsoever caused, arising directly or indirectly out of a failure or delay by you or us to receive an email or other electronic communication. Further, you understand and accept that emails, text messages and other electronic communications we send to you may not be encrypted and therefore may not be secure.

(14) You acknowledge the inherent risk that communications by electronic means may not reach their intended destination or may do so later than intended for reasons outside our control. You accept this risk and agree that a failure or delay by us to receive any offer or communication from you sent electronically, whether due to mechanical, software, computer, telecommunications or other electronic systems failure, does not in any way invalidate or otherwise prejudice that offer or communication or any transaction to which it relates. If, for any reason, we are unable to accept your offer electronically, we may, without obligation, provide you with further information advising you that your offer can be made by telephone as an alternative and we may endeavour to inform you of this.

(15) In the event that you are granted access to our mobile dealing platform, then all use of such service will be subject both to this Agreement and to any supplemental mobile dealing terms posted on our website and amended from time to time.

MARGIN

(1) Upon opening a Transaction, you will be required to pay us the Margin for that Transaction, as calculated by us (“Initial Margin”). Note that the Initial Margin for certain Transactions, will be based on a percentage of the Contract Value of the Transaction and therefore the Initial Margin due for such Transactions will fluctuate in accordance with the Contract Value. Initial Margin is due and payable to us immediately upon opening the Transaction (and for Transactions that have a fluctuating Initial Margin based on a percentage of the Contract Value, immediately on opening the Transaction and thereafter immediately on any increase in Contract Value taking place) unless:

(a) we have expressly told you that you have an account type that allows for longer payment periods for Margin, in which case you must pay Margin in accordance with the payment periods that we have advised to you, provided always that any credit or other limits placed on your dealings with us are not exceeded;

(b) we have expressly agreed to reduce or waive all or part of the Margin that we would otherwise require you to pay us in respect of a Transaction. The period of such waiver or reduction may be temporary or may be in place until further notified. Any such waiver or reduction must be agreed in writing (including by email) by a director, an authorised signatory or relationship manager of ours or a member of our credit or risk departments (each an “Authorised Employee”) in order to be effective. Any such agreement does not limit, fetter or restrict our rights to seek further Margin from you in respect of the Transaction at any time thereafter; or

(c) we agree otherwise (any such agreement must be made in writing (including by email), by an Authorised Employee in order to be effective), in which case you will be required to comply with such terms as are stated in such written agreement.

(2) You also have a continuing Margin obligation to us to ensure that at all times during which you have open Transactions you ensure that your account balance, taking into account all realised and/or unrealised profits and losses (“P&L”) on your account, is equal to at least the Initial Margin that we require you to have paid to us for all of your open Transactions. If there is any shortfall between your account balance (taking into account P&L) and your total Initial Margin requirement, you will be required to deposit additional funds into your account. These funds will be due and payable to us for our own account, immediately on your account balance (taking into account P&L) falling below your Initial Margin requirement unless:

(b) we have expressly agreed to reduce or waive all or part of the Margin that we would otherwise require you to pay us in respect of your Transaction(s). The period of such waiver or reduction may be temporary or may be in place until further notice. Any such waiver or reduction must be agreed by an Authorised Employee in writing (including by email) in order to be effective. Any such agreement does not limit, fetter or restrict our rights to seek further Margin from you in respect of the Transaction at any time thereafter;

(c) we agree, by an Authorised Employee, otherwise in writing (including by email), in which case you will be required to comply with such terms as are stated in the written agreement; or

(d) we have expressly extended you a credit limit, and you have sufficient credit to cover your Margin requirements and are in compliance with any other conditions that we have imposed on you. Importantly however, if at any time your credit facility is not sufficient to cover the Margin requirement on your open Transactions, you must immediately place additional funds on your account in order to fully cover the Margin required. Any credit limits extended to you will not act to restrict your losses and no limit should be deemed as the maximum amount you could lose.

(3) Details of Margin amounts paid and owing by you are available by logging on to our Electronic Trading Services or by telephoning one of our employees. You acknowledge: (a) that it is your responsibility to be aware of, and further that you agree to pay, the Margin required at all times for all Transactions that you open with us; (b) that your obligation to pay Margin will exist whether or not we contact you regarding an outstanding Margin obligation; and (c) that your failure to pay any Margin required in relation to your Transactions will be regarded as an Event of Default for the purposes of Term 17.

(4) Margin payments must be made in the form of cleared funds (on your account with us) unless, by separate written agreement, we accept other assets from you as collateral for payment of Margin. In the event that any applicable debit card authority or other paying agent declines to transfer funds to us for any reason whatsoever then we may, at our absolute discretion, treat any Transaction entered into by us in reliance on receipt of those funds as void from the outset or close

it at our then prevailing price, and recover any losses arising from the voidance or closure of the Transaction from you. We may reserve the right to stipulate the method of payment to be used by you for the payment of Margin.

(5) In making any calculation of the Margin payments that we require from you under this Term 15, we may, at our absolute discretion, have regard to your overall position with us and/or an Associated Company of ours including any of your net unrealised losses (i.e. losses on open positions).

(6) We are not under any obligation to keep you informed of your account balance and Margin required (i.e. to make a ‘Margin call’) however if we do so the Margin call may be made by telephone call, post, email, text message or through an Electronic Trading Service. The Margin call will be deemed to have been made as soon as you are deemed to have received such notice in accordance with Term 14(10). We will also be deemed to have made a demand on you if: (a) we have left a message requesting you to contact us and you have not done so within a reasonable time after we have left such a message; or (b) if we are unable to leave such a message and have used reasonable endeavours to attempt to contact you by telephone (at the telephone number last notified to us by you) but have been unable to contact you at such number. Any message that we leave for you requesting you to contact us should be regarded by you as extremely urgent unless we specify to the contrary when we leave the message. You acknowledge and accept that what constitutes a reasonable time in the context of this Term may be influenced by the state of the Underlying Market and that, according to the circumstances, could be a matter of minutes or even immediately. It is your responsibility to notify us immediately of any change in your contact details and to provide us with alternative contact details and ensure that our calls for Margin will be met if you will be uncontactable at the contact address or telephone number notified to us (for example because you are travelling or are on holiday, or you are prevented from being in contact because of a religious holiday). We will not be liable for any losses, costs, expenses or damages incurred or suffered by you as a consequence of your failure to do so.

(7) We will be entitled, at any time, to increase or decrease the Margin required from you on open Transactions or to change the credit arrangements for your account. You agree that, regardless of the normal way in which you and we communicate, we will be entitled to notify you of a change to Margin levels or the credit arrangements for your account by any of the following means: telephone, post, email, text message, via one of our Electronic Trading Services or by posting notice of the change on our website. Any increase in Margin levels will be due and payable immediately on our demand, including our deemed demand in accordance with Term 15(6). Any change in the credit arrangements for your account will be effective at the time notified to you, which may include immediately. We will only increase Margin requirements or change the credit arrangements for your account where we reasonably consider it necessary, for example but without limitation, in response to or in anticipation of any of the following:

(a) a change in the volatility and/or liquidity in the Underlying Market or in the financial markets more generally;

(b) economic news;

(c) a company whose Instruments represent all or part of your Transaction becoming or being rumoured to be going insolvent, being suspended from trading or undertaking a Corporate Event;

(d) you changing your dealing pattern with us and/or an Associated Company of ours;

(e) your credit circumstances changing or our assessment of your credit risk to us changing;

(f) your exposure to us and/or an Associated Company of ours being concentrated in a particular Underlying Market or a sector (being a selection of stocks in a market normally associated with a specific industry group);

(g) our and/or an Associated Company of ours exposure is concentrated in a particular Underlying Market or a sector (being a selection of stocks in a market normally associated with a specific industry group) as a result of your Transactions with us in aggregation with transactions of other clients of ours and/or an Associated Company of ours;

(h) a change in the margin charged by our hedging counterparties or the margin rules set by the relevant Underlying Market; or

(i) any change to the Applicable Regulations.

PAYMENT, CURRENCY CONVERSION AND SET-OFF

(1) All payments to be made under this Agreement, other than payments of Commission, Limited Risk Premium and Margin which are due and payable in accordance with Terms 5, 13 and 15 respectively, are due immediately upon our demand, which may be oral or in writing. Once demanded, such payments must be paid by you, and must be received by us in full in cleared funds on your account.

(2) You must comply with the following when making payments to us:

(a) Payments due (including Margin payments) will, unless otherwise agreed or specified by us, be required in pounds, euros, US dollars, Australian dollars, Singapore dollars, Canadian dollars, New Zealand dollars, Hong Kong dollars, Japanese yen, South African rand, Swedish kronor and Swiss francs.

(b) You may make any payment due to us (including any payment for Margin) by direct bank transfer for value within 24 hours (e.g. by BPAY® payment), by card (for example credit card or debit card) or, if available, by alternative payment methods (e.g. PayPal). Note that we reserve the right to levy a reasonable administration charge for processing your payments which will generally reflect the cost to us in providing these payment solutions to you and shall be due and payable at the time of the payment.

(c) At our reasonable discretion, we may accept payments from you made by cheque, subject to any terms we advise to you at the time we notify you of our acceptance. Cheques should be crossed and made payable to TOP1 FOREX or such other payee as we may notify you of and your account number should be marked clearly on the reverse of the cheque. We reserve the right to levy a reasonable administration charge where we allow you to pay by cheque.

(d) In determining whether to accept payments from you under this Term, we will have utmost regard to our duties under law regarding the prevention of fraud, countering terrorist financing, insolvency, money laundering and/or tax offences. To this end, we may at our absolute discretion having regard to the law, reject payments from you or a third party and return funds to source. In particular, we may not accept payments from a bank account if it is not evident to us that the bank account is in your name.

BASE CURRENCY AND CURRENCY CONVERSION

(3) You should be aware of the following when you open a Transaction or deposit money into your account in a Currency other than your Base Currency:

(a) It is your responsibility to make yourself aware of the Currency that is designated as your Base Currency. Details of your Base Currency are available on one of our Electronic Trading Service or by phoning one of our employees.

(b) Some Transactions will result in profit/loss being accrued in a Currency other than your Base Currency. The Product Details specify the Currencies in which various Transactions are denominated, or alternatively such information is available from one of our employees on request.

(c) From time to time (for example in your Statements), we may provide information to you which presents your multicurrency balances in the equivalent value of your Base Currency, using the rates prevailing at the time the information is produced. However you should note that the balances have not been physically converted and that the presentation of the information in your Base Currency is for information only.

(d) Unless we have agreed with you otherwise, your account will, by default, be set to immediate conversion of non-Base Currency balances standing on your account to your Base Currency. This means that following a non-Base Currency Transaction being closed, rolled over or expiring, the profits or losses from that Transaction will be automatically converted to your Base Currency and posted to your account in that Base Currency. We will also by default automatically convert any non-Base Currency adjustments or charges (for example funding charges or dividend adjustments) to your Base Currency, before such adjustments or charges are booked on your account and we will automatically convert any money received from you in a non-Base Currency into your Base Currency.

(e) Other than for Limited Risk Transactions, we may agree that instead of automatically converting non-Base Currency amounts before we post them to your account (as set out in Term 16(3)(d) above), we may post such amounts on your account in the relevant non-Base Currency and we will conduct recurring balance sweeps (for example on a daily, weekly or monthly basis) that will convert all non-Base Currency balances standing on your account to your Base Currency. Depending on your account type, some of these sweep frequencies might not be available to you.

(f) If you have an account type that allows you to do so (and subject to our agreement), you may elect to opt out of both immediate conversion (as set out in Term 16(3)(d)) and recurring balance sweeps (as set out in Term 16(3)(e)). When we consider it reasonably necessary, or when requested by you, we may convert balances (including negative balances) and/or money standing to your credit in a non-Base Currency into your Base Currency.

(g) All conversions made in accordance with this Term will be made at an exchange rate not more than +/-0.5% of the prevailing market rate at the time of the conversion.

(h) Where you maintain Transactions in a Currency other than your Base Currency and/or where you elect to opt out of immediate conversion pursuant to 16(3)(e) or 16(3)(f), as applicable, you are exposing yourself to cross-currency risk. You acknowledge and agree that it is your responsibility to manage this risk and we are not liable for any losses that you suffer as a result.

(i) We reserve the right to change the way in which we manage and/or convert your non-Base Currency balances at any time in the future by providing you with 10 business days prior notice. By way of example only, we may notify you that all non-Base Currency amounts on your account will be immediately converted as set out in Term 16(3)(d), or we may notify you that the frequency for your recurring balance sweep is changing to become more or less frequent.

INTEREST

(4) You will pay interest to us on any sums due in respect of any Transaction and any other general account charges (for example, market data fees) and Taxes, as applicable, that you fail to pay on the relevant due date. Interest will accrue on a daily basis from the due date until the date on which payment is received in full on your account in cleared funds, at a rate not exceeding 4% above our applicable reference rate from time to time (details available on request) and will be payable on demand.

REMITTING MONEY

(5) We will be under no obligation to remit any money to you if that would reduce your account balance (taking into account running profits and losses) to less than the Margin payments required on your open Transactions. Subject thereto, money standing to the credit of your account will be remitted to you if requested by you. Where you do not make such a request, we will be under no obligation to, but may, at our absolute discretion, remit such monies to you. All bank charges howsoever arising will, unless otherwise agreed, be for your account. The manner in which we remit monies to you will be at our absolute discretion, having utmost regard to our duties under law regarding the prevention of fraud, countering terrorist financing, insolvency, money laundering and/or tax offences. We will normally remit money in the same method and to the same place from which it was received. However, in exceptional circumstances we may, at our absolute discretion, consider a suitable alternative.

SET-OFF

(6) If any losses incurred, monies owed or debit balances to us (each a “Loss” and together, “Losses”) in relation to an account under this Agreement in which you may have an interest exceeds all amounts held by us in relation to that account, you must forthwith pay such excess to us whether demanded or not. If any Losses to us and any Associated Company in relation to accounts in which you may have an interest exceed all amounts held by us and any Associated Company in relation to all accounts in which you may have an interest, you must forthwith pay such excess to us whether demanded or not.

(7) Without prejudice to our right to require payment from you, we will at any time have the right to set off:

(a) any Losses in respect of any account held by you with us, under this Agreement or otherwise, against any sums, Instruments or other assets (each a “Sum” and together, “Sums”) held by us, under this Agreement or otherwise, for or to your credit;

(b) any Losses in respect of any account held by you with an Associated Company against any Sums held by us or an Associated Company, under this Agreement or otherwise, for or to your credit;

(c) any Losses in respect of any account held by you with us, under this Agreement or otherwise, against any Sums held by an Associated Company for or to your credit; and

(8) We may, at any time and without notice to you, sell Instruments or other assets of which we or any Associated Company have custody or control on your behalf, in order to discharge any or all of your obligations to us and any Associated Company. If we have to sell Instruments held on your behalf to meet your obligations, we will charge you all applicable Charges and Taxes in doing so including a reasonable administration charge. You will continue to be responsible to us for any outstanding balance due after Instruments have been sold and the difference in value will be payable to us immediately.

(9) As long as there are outstanding Losses in respect of any account in which you may have an interest under this or any other agreement with us or an Associated Company, in each case whether as a joint account or otherwise, we may retain possession of any Instruments or other assets held by us or an Associated Company or to your credit with us or an Associated Company in relation to any account in which you may have an interest (this right is known as a lien).

WAIVER

(10) Our failure on one or more occasions to enforce or exercise our right to insist on timely payment (including our right to insist on immediate payment of Margin) will not amount to a waiver or bar to enforcement of that right.

CLIENT MONEY

(1) Certain monies received from you are required to be deposited and held by us on trust in a separate trust account in accordance with the Governing Legislation. In our sole discretion, we may also deposit and hold other monies received from you or referable to you in such a trust account.

(2) You acknowledge that we will be under no obligation to pay interest on balances on your account (and any fees we may take from such interest) and that you are therefore waiving and foregoing any entitlement to interest (and fees if any) under the Governing Legislation or otherwise. You hereby acknowledge that we will not pay you any interest on your account and that any interest will accrue to us and (insofar as you are able and/or required to do so) you assign and convey to us the beneficial entitlement to such interest.

(3) In the event that we incur interest charges to hold client money on your behalf with third party banking institutions in accordance with the Governing Legislation, you agree that we may charge you for holding such client money on your behalf in accordance with our Client Money Interest Policy. You agree that we may cease to treat any money deducted in accordance with our Client Money Interest Policy as client money and that ownership of that money will be irrevocably transferred from you to us. Details of the Client Money Interest Policy are available in the Product Details or from one of our employees.

(5) You agree that:

(a) we may, in our sole discretion, invest monies held on trust under Term 17(1) in term deposit investments;

(b) earnings on such term deposit investments will be retained by us; and (c) upon realisation of a term deposit investment:

(i) the monies invested will either be deposited back into the trust account or invested into other term deposit investments; and

(ii) all other proceeds of term deposit investments will be retained by us.

You acknowledge that we will not charge you any fee for such term deposit investments. You further acknowledge that the placing of monies received from you in term deposit investments by us does not in itself affect your ability to deal with or withdraw funds from your account with us. However, such amounts may not be immediately available upon request by you.

(6) You agree that we will not be liable for the solvency, acts or omissions of any bank holding money under Term 18(1) or under Term 18(5) in respect to term deposit investments.

(7) In accordance with Term 27(3), you agree that we may transfer client money to a third party as part of a transfer of all or part of our business.

INDEMNITY AND LIABILITY

(1) Subject always to Term 1(7), you are responsible for all liabilities, losses or costs of any kind or nature whatsoever that may be incurred by us as a result of any failure by you to perform any of your obligations under this Agreement, in relation to any Transaction or in relation to any false information or declaration made either to us or to any third party, in particular to any Exchange. You acknowledge that this responsibility extends to our legal and administrative costs and expenses incurred in respect of taking any legal or investigatory action against you, or instructing any debt collection agency, to recover monies owed by you to us.

(2) You agree that you will not hold us liable for any losses, liabilities, judgements, suits, actions, proceedings, claims, damages and/or costs suffered by you resulting from or arising out of any act or omission by any person obtaining access to your account by using your designated account number and/or password and/or Security Details, whether or not you authorised such access.

(3) We shall not be liable for any default, omissions, errors or mistakes by any third party or Associated Company other than as a result of our own negligence, fraud or wilful default in relation to the appointment of that third party.

(4) Certain information in relation to our services is provided by third parties and we are not liable for any inaccuracy, errors or omissions in the information they provide us except where such inaccuracy, error or omission is caused by our own negligence, fraud or wilful default in relation to the appointment of that third party.

(5) Without prejudice to any other Terms of this Agreement, we will have no liability to you in relation to any loss, costs or expenses that you suffer as a result of:

(a) any delay or defect in or failure of the whole or any part of our Electronic Trading Services’ software or any systems or network links or any other means of communication; or

(b) any computer viruses, worms, software bombs or similar items introduced into your computer hardware or software via our Electronic Trading Services, except where such loss, cost or expense is a result of our own negligence, fraud or wilful default.

(6) Without prejudice to any other Terms of this Agreement, we will have no liability to you in relation to any loss, costs or expenses that you suffer as a result of:

(a) any inability by you to open or close a Transaction; or

(b) any cause beyond our reasonable control and the effect of which is beyond our reasonable control to avoid.

(7) Without prejudice to any other Terms of this Agreement, we will have no liability to you in relation to any loss which is a side effect of the main loss or damage and which is not a foreseeable consequence of a breach of this Agreement including, without limitation, loss of business, loss of profits, failure to avoid a loss, loss of data, loss or corruption of data, loss of goodwill or reputation, caused by any act or omission of ours under this Agreement.

(8) Nothing in this Agreement shall limit our liability for personal injury or death.

(j) you will use the services offered by us pursuant to this Agreement in good faith and, to this end, you will not use any electronic device, software, algorithm, any trading strategy or any arbitrage practices (such as but not limited to latency abuse, price manipulation or time manipulation) that aims to manipulate or take unfair advantage of the way in which we construct, provide or convey our bid or offer prices. In addition, you agree that using any device, software, algorithm, strategy or practice in your dealings with us whereby you are not subject to any downside market risk will be evidence that you are taking unfair advantage of us;

(2) This Agreement contains the entire understanding between the parties in relation to the dealing services we offer.

(3) In the absence of our fraud, wilful default or negligence, we give no warranty regarding the performance of our website(s), our Electronic Trading Services or other software or their suitability for any equipment used by you for any particular purpose.

(4) Save for all non-excludable terms implied by relevant legislation, all implied terms as to fitness for purpose or otherwise which are capable of being excluded by agreement are hereby excluded from this Agreement.

(5) Any breach by you of a warranty given under this Agreement, including but not limited to the warranties given in Terms 9(1), 9(18), 20(1) or 21(2), renders any Transaction voidable from the outset or capable of being closed by us at our then prevailing prices, at our absolute discretion.

(6) If we have reasonable grounds for suspecting that you have breached a warranty given under this Agreement, including but not limited to the warranties given in Terms 9(1), 9(18), 20(1) or 21(2), we may render any Transaction voidable from the outset or capable of being closed by us at our then prevailing prices, at our absolute discretion, unless and until you produce evidence that satisfies us that you have not, in fact, committed the breach of warranty the suspicion of which was the ground for us taking action under this Term. For the avoidance of doubt, if you do not produce such evidence within the period of three months from the date on which action is taken by us under this Term, all such Transactions will be finally null and void as between you and us.

MARKET ABUSE

(1) We may hedge our liability to you by opening analogous positions with other institutions or in the Underlying Market. The result of our doing this is that when you open or close a Transaction relating to a share or other Instrument with us, your Transactions can, through our hedging, exert a distorting influence on the Underlying Market for that Instrument, in addition to the impact that it may have on our own prices. This creates a possibility of market abuse and the function of this Term is to prevent such abuse.

(2) You represent and warrant to us now, and agree that each such representation and warranty is deemed repeated each time you open or close a Transaction, that:

(a) you will not open and have not opened a Transaction or Transactions with us relating to a particular share price if to do so would result in you, or others with whom you are acting in concert together, having an exposure to the share price that is equal to or exceeds the amount of a declarable interest in the relevant company. For this purpose the level of a declarable interest will be the prevailing level at the material time, as determined by Applicable Regulations or by the Exchange(s) on which the underlying share is listed;

(b) you will not open and have not opened a Transaction with us in connection with:

(i) a placing, issue, distribution or other analogous event;

(ii) an offer, take-over, merger or other analogous event; or

(iii) any other corporate finance style activity, in which you are involved or otherwise interested; and

(c) you will not open or close a Transaction and you will not place an Order that contravenes the Governing Legislation or any other law against insider dealing or market manipulation.

(3) In the event that (a) you open or close any Transaction or place an Order in breach of the representations and warranties given in Terms 9(1), 9(18), 20(1) or 21(2), or (b) we have reasonable grounds for suspecting that you have done so, we may, at our absolute discretion and without being under any obligation to inform you of our reason for doing so, close that Transaction and any other Transactions that you may have open at the time, if applicable, and also, at our absolute discretion:

(a) enforce the Transaction or Transactions against you if it is a Transaction or Transactions under which you have incurred a loss;

(b) treat all your Transactions that meet the circumstances set out in this Term as void if they are Transactions under which you have secured a profit, unless and until you produce evidence that satisfies us that you have not, in fact, committed the breach of warranty and/or misrepresentation the suspicion of which was the ground for us taking action under this Term. For the avoidance of doubt, if you do not produce such evidence within the period of three months from the date on which action is taken by us under this Term, all such Transactions will be finally null and void as between you and us; or

(4) You acknowledge that the Transactions in which you deal with us are speculative instruments and you agree that you will not open any Transactions with us in connection with any corporate finance style activity.

(5) You acknowledge that it would be improper for you to deal in the Underlying Market if the sole purpose of such a transaction was to impact on our bid or offer prices, and you agree not to conduct any such transactions.

FORCE MAJEURE EVENTS

(1) We may, in our reasonable opinion, determine that an emergency or an exceptional market condition exists (a “Force Majeure Event”), in which case we will, in due course, take reasonable steps to inform you. A Force Majeure Event will include, but is not limited to, the following:

(a) any act, event or occurrence (including without limitation any strike, riot or civil commotion, act of terrorism, war, industrial action, acts and regulations of any governmental or supra national bodies or authorities) that, in our opinion, prevents us from maintaining an orderly market in one or more of the Instruments in respect of which we ordinarily deal in Transactions;

(b) the suspension or closure of any market or the abandonment or failure of any event on which we base, or to which we in any way relate, our quote, or the imposition of limits or special or unusual terms on the trading in any such market or on any such event;

(c) the occurrence of an excessive movement in the level of any Transaction and/or the Underlying Market or our anticipation (acting reasonably) of the occurrence of such a movement;

(d) any breakdown or failure of transmission, communication or computer facilities, interruption of power supply, or electronic or communications equipment failure; or

(e) failure of any relevant supplier, intermediate broker, agent or principal of ours, custodian, sub-custodian, dealer, exchange, clearing house or regulatory or self-regulatory organisation, for any reason, to perform its obligations.

(2) If we determine that a Force Majeure Event exists, we may, at our absolute discretion, without notice and at any time, take one or more of the following steps:

(a) increase your Margin requirements;

(b) close all or any of your open Transactions at such Closing Level as we reasonably believe to be appropriate;

(c) suspend or modify the application of all or any of the Terms of this Agreement to the extent that the Force Majeure Event makes it impossible or impracticable for us to comply with the Term or Terms in question; or

(d) alter the Last Dealing Time for a particular Transaction.

CORPORATE VOTING RIGHTS, INTEREST AND DIVIDENDS

All of our stock products are products, you do not own the underlying assets and related rights,such as dividends or voting rights

INTEREST

(1)e will value open Transactions on a daily basis and calculate the amount of interest, on a basis notified to you in writing (including electronically), that would apply to the sum of money necessary to take out a position in the underlying Instrument with the same value. A different rate of interest will normally apply to long and short positions. While your Transaction remains open, the amount of interest will be calculated and will accrue on a daily basis as follows:

if you sell or buy interest will be either credited or debited to your account (depending on the interest rate);

QUERIES, COMPLAINTS AND DISPUTES

(1) If you have a complaint against us, your complaint will be dealt with in accordance with our internal disputes resolution process.

(2) In the event you have a complaint under or in connection with this Agreement or any Transaction, you should, in the first instance, refer the complaint to our trading services department. If they are unable to resolve the dispute to your satisfaction it should be referred to our compliance department. The compliance department will investigate your complaint and advise you of the outcome.

(3) If our compliance department is unable to resolve the matter and you are a retail client in respect of the Transaction that is the subject matter of the complaint you may then refer the matter for external dispute resolution to the relevant external dispute resolution scheme in accordance with the rules of such scheme. Further details relating to the external dispute resolution process can be found in the Product Disclosure Statement.

(4) If under the Governing Legislation you are a wholesale client (whether deemed or otherwise) in respect of the Transaction that is the subject matter of the complaint you may only refer your complaint to the external dispute resolution scheme if we first agree in writing that we submit to that process. Please note that we may refuse to submit for any reason or no reason at our sole discretion.

(5) Submission of your complaint to an external dispute resolution scheme will not abrogate your duty to mitigate your losses. Our agreement to submit to this independent external dispute resolution scheme (if applicable) will not constitute a waiver of any default by you that may form the subject matter of, or be incidental to, such complaint or dispute.

(6) In the event that you elect to refer your complaint to an external dispute resolution scheme, you hereby authorise us to disclose such personal information about

you (as defined by the Privacy Act 1988) including, without limitation, records of telephone conversations between you and us as we, at our absolute discretion, deem appropriate or necessary to enable us to prosecute our case in the arbitral process of the external dispute resolution scheme.

(7) Without prejudice to any of our other rights to close a Transaction under this Agreement, in any case where we are in dispute with you in respect of a Transaction or alleged Transaction or any communication relating to a Transaction, we may, at our absolute discretion and without notice, close any such Transaction or alleged Transaction, where we reasonably believe such action to be desirable for the purpose of limiting the maximum amount involved in the dispute, and we will not be under any obligation to you in connection with any subsequent movement in the level of the Transaction concerned. If we close one or more of your Transactions under this Term, such action will be without prejudice to our right to contend in relation to any dispute that such Transaction had already been closed by us or was never opened by you. We will take reasonable steps to inform you that we have taken such action as soon as practicable after doing so. Where we close a Transaction or alleged Transaction in accordance with this Term, the closing will be without prejudice to your rights:

(a) to seek redress or compensation for any loss or damage suffered in connection with the disputed or alleged Transaction or communication, prior to the closing; and

(b) to open a new Transaction at any time thereafter, provided that such Transaction is opened in accordance with this Agreement, which will be applied, for the purposes only of calculating any relevant limits or money required from you, on the basis that our view of the disputed events or communication is correct.

MISCELLANEOUS

(1) We reserve the right to Suspend any or all accounts you hold with us at any time. If we Suspend your account(s), it means that: you will generally not be permitted to open any new Transactions or increase your exposure under your existing Transactions, but you will be permitted to close, part close or reduce your exposure to us under your existing Transactions; you will no longer be permitted to trade with us via our Electronic Trading Services, rather you will be required to trade with us via the phone. We also reserve the right to Suspend a specific Transaction that you have open with us. If we Suspend a Transaction, it means that you will generally not be permitted to increase your exposure to us under the Suspended Transaction but, subject to Term 25, you will be permitted to close, part close or reduce your exposure to us under the Suspended Transaction; in relation to the Suspended Transaction, you will no longer be permitted to deal with us via our Electronic Trading Services, rather you will be required to deal with us via the phone.

(2) Our rights and remedies under this Agreement will be cumulative, and our exercise or waiver of any right or remedy will not preclude or inhibit the exercise of any additional right or remedy. Our failure to enforce or exercise any right under this Agreement will not amount to a waiver or bar to enforcement of that right.

(3) You consent to our assigning the benefit of this Agreement to a third party and you consent also to our entitlement at any time and without further reference to you to novate this Agreement, subject to any required approvals under Applicable Regulations. Any assignment by us of the benefit of this Agreement or any novation of this Agreement will be effective 10 business days following the day you are deemed to receive notice of such assignment or novation in accordance with Term 14(10). It is acknowledged and agreed that you are prohibited from assigning the benefit of this Agreement or novating this Agreement to any other party without our prior written consent.

(4) You acknowledge and agree that the copyrights, trademarks, database and other property or rights in any information distributed to or received by you from us, together with the contents of our website(s), brochures and other material connected with our dealing service and in any database that contains or constitutes such information, will remain the sole and exclusive property of ours or any third party identified as being the owner of such rights.

(5) If any Term (or any part of any Term) is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable for any reason then such Term will, to that extent, be deemed severable and not form part of this Agreement, but the enforceability of the remainder of this Agreement will not be affected.

(6) We cannot advise you on tax and, if in any doubt, you should seek your own independent advice. The tax treatment of Transactions and Charges may differ according to your personal circumstances and applicable tax legislation. Tax legislation and the interpretation of such legislation is subject to change. You may also be liable for other taxes and charges that are not imposed or withheld by us. You should seek independent advice if you are in any doubt as to what further taxes and charges may apply to you as a result of your trading activities.

(7) You will be responsible at all times for the payment of all taxes due and for providing any relevant tax authority with any information relating to your dealings with us. Where we are required by law to provide information to a tax authority this provision of information will be governed by our Privacy Notice. You agree that if we provide you with any information or express any opinion in relation to the tax treatment of your dealings with us it will not be reasonable for you to rely upon any such statement and it will not constitute tax advice.

(8) Should any change in the basis or scope of taxation occur at any time which results in us having to withhold amounts on account of Taxes owed or payable by you in respect of any Applicable Regulations in respect of your Transactions or your account with us, we reserve the right to deduct the amount of any such payment(s) from your account(s) or otherwise require you to pay or reimburse us for such payment(s).

(9) Our records, unless shown to be wrong, will be evidence of your dealings with us in connection with our services. You will not object to the admission of our records as evidence in any legal or regulatory proceedings because such records are not originals, are not in writing or are documents produced by a computer. You will not rely on us to comply with your record keeping obligations, although records may be made available to you on request at our absolute discretion.

(10) Wherever in this Agreement we are conferred with a discretion or an entitlement to make an election or adopt a course of action which affects you or your interests, we agree to exercise such discretion or make an election or adopt such a course of action in good faith according to what we reasonably believe to be fair in the circumstances.

(11) Unless a term of this Agreement provides otherwise, a person who is not a party to this Agreement will have no rights to enforce any of its terms.

(12) Following termination of this Agreement, Terms 1(1), 10(8), 10(9), 14(1), 14(10), 14(11), 16(6) - 16(9), 17, 18, 19, 20, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31 and 32 shall continue to apply.

TWO-WAY MASTER NETTING AGREEMENT FOR EXCHANGE TRADED AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS INCLUDING ALL TRANSACTIONS UNDER THE MARGIN TRADING CUSTOMER AGREEMENT

THIS MASTER NETTING AGREEMENT between you and us is entered into as part of and on the same date as your Agreement to the Margin Trading Customer Agreement, or, if this Schedule did not form part of the Margin Trading Customer Agreement at the time of your agreement to the same, ten business days following the date you are advised that this Schedule forms part of the Margin Trading Customer Agreement.

NOW IT IS HEREBY AGREED as follows:

1. SCOPE OF THIS AGREEMENT

1.1 Unless otherwise agreed in writing by the Parties in Schedule 1 or otherwise and subject to the next sentence, these terms and the particular terms agreed by the Parties govern each Transaction entered into or outstanding between any two Designated Offices of the Parties on or after the date of execution of these terms. In the case of Transactions within paragraph (i), (ii), (iii) or (iv) of the definition of “Transaction”, these terms govern only those Transactions where the exchange mentioned in such definition is a Specified Exchange.

1.2 These terms, the particular terms of, and applicable to, each and every Transaction governed by these terms, the Schedules to these terms and all amendments to any of such items shall together constitute a single agreement between the Parties. The Parties acknowledge that all Transactions governed by these terms which are entered into on or after the date of execution of these terms are entered into in reliance upon the fact that all such items constitute a single agreement between the Parties.

1.3 If there is any conflict or inconsistency between the provisions of the Margin Trading Customer Agreement and these terms, the provisions of these terms shall prevail.

2. SETTLEMENT AND EXCHANGE OR CLEARING

2.1 Unless a Liquidation Date has occurred or has been effectively set, a Party shall not be obliged to make any payment or delivery scheduled to be made by that Party under a Transaction governed by these terms for so long as an Event of Default or Potential Event of Default with respect to the other Party has occurred and is continuing.

2.2 Unless otherwise agreed in writing by the Parties, if the Parties enter into any Transaction governed by these terms to close out any existing Transaction between the Parties then their obligations under such Transactions shall automatically and immediately be terminated upon entering into the second Transaction, except for any settlement payment due from one Party to the other in respect of such closed-out Transactions.

2.3 These terms shall not be applicable to any Transaction to the extent that action which conflicts with or overrides the provisions of this agreement has been started in relation to that Transaction by a relevant exchange or clearing organisation under applicable rules or laws and is continuing.

3. REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND COVENANTS

3.1 Each Party represents and warrants to the other Party as of the date of execution of these terms and, in the case of the representation and warranty in

(v) of this Clause 3.1 relating to the entering into of Transactions, as of the date of entering into each Transaction governed by these terms that: (i) it has authority to enter into this agreement; (ii) the persons entering into the agreement on its behalf have been duly authorised to do so; (iii) this agreement and the obligations created under this agreement are binding upon it and enforceable against it in accordance with their terms (subject to applicable principles of equity) and do not and will not violate the terms of any agreements to which such Party is bound; (iv) no Event of Default or Potential Event of Default has occurred and is continuing with respect to it; and (v) it acts as principal and sole beneficial owner (and not as trustee) in entering into these terms and each and every Transaction governed by these terms.

3.2 Each Party covenants to the other Party that: (i) it will at all times obtain and comply with the terms of and do all that is necessary to maintain in full force and effect all authorisations, approvals, licences and consents required to enable it lawfully to perform its obligations under this agreement; and (ii) it will promptly notify the other Party of the occurrence of any Event of Default or Potential Event of Default with respect to itself or any Credit Support Provider in relation to it.

4. TERMINATION AND LIQUIDATION

(i) a Party fails to make any payment when due under or to make or take delivery of any property when due under, or to observe or perform any other provision of, this agreement (including any Transaction governed by these terms) and such failure continues for two business days after notice of non-performance has been given by the other Party to the defaulting Party;

(ii) a Party commences a voluntary case or other procedure seeking or proposing liquidation, reorganisation, an arrangement or composition, a freeze or moratorium, or other similar relief with respect to itself or to its debts under any bankruptcy, insolvency, regulatory, supervisory or similar law (including any corporate or other law with potential application to an insolvent Party), or seeking the appointment of a trustee, receiver, liquidator, conservator, administrator, custodian, examiner or other similar official (each a “Custodian”) of it or any part of its assets; or takes any corporate action to authorise any of the foregoing; and, in the case of a reorganisation, arrangement or composition, the other Party does not consent to the proposals;

(iii) an involuntary case or other procedure is commenced against a Party seeking or proposing liquidation, reorganisation, an arrangement or composition, a freeze or moratorium, or other similar relief with respect to it or its debts under any bankruptcy, insolvency, regulatory, supervisory or similar law (including any corporate or other law with potential application to an insolvent Party) or seeking the appointment of a Custodian of it or any part of its assets and such involuntary case or other procedure either (a) has not been dismissed within five days of its institution or presentation or (b) has been dismissed within such period but solely on the grounds of an insufficiency of assets to cover the costs of such case or other procedure;

(iv) a Party dies, becomes of unsound mind, is unable to pay its debts as they fall due or is bankrupt or insolvent, as defined under any bankruptcy or insolvency law applicable to such Party; or any indebtedness of a Party is not paid on the due date therefore or becomes, or becomes capable at any time of being declared, due and payable under agreements or instruments evidencing such indebtedness before it would otherwise have been due and payable, or any suit, action or proceeding relating to this agreement is commenced for any execution, any attachment or garnishment, or any distress against, or an encumbrancer takes possession of, the whole or any part of the property, undertaking or assets (tangible and intangible) of a Party;

(v) a Party or any Credit Support Provider in relation to a Party (or any Custodian acting on behalf of a Party or any Credit Support Provider in relation to a Party) disaffirms, disclaims or repudiates any obligation under this agreement (including any Transaction governed by these terms) or any Credit Support Document;

(vi) any representation or warranty made or deemed made by a Party pursuant to this agreement or pursuant to any Credit Support Document proves to have been false or misleading in any material respect as at the time it was made or given;

(b) any Credit Support Document relating to a Party expires or ceases to be in full force and effect prior to the satisfaction of all obligations of such Party under this agreement (including any Transaction governed by these terms), unless the other Party has agreed in writing that this shall not be an Event of Default; (c) any representation or warranty made or deemed made by any Credit Support Provider in relation to a Party pursuant to any Credit Support Document proves to have been false or misleading in any material respect as at the time it was made or given or deemed made or given; or (d) any event referred to in (ii) to (iv) or (viii) of this Clause 4.1 occurs in respect of any Credit Support Provider in relation to a Party;

(viii) a Party is dissolved, or in respect of a Party whose existence is dependent upon a formal registration, such registration is removed or ends, or any procedure is commenced seeking or proposing a Party’s dissolution or the removal or ending of such a registration of a Party; or

(ix) any event of default (however described) occurs under any terms of business in place between the Parties or any other event specified for these purposes in Schedule 1 or otherwise occurs, then the other Party (the “Non-Defaulting Party”) may exercise its rights under Clause 4.2, except that, if so agreed in writing by the Parties (whether by specifying as such in Schedule 1 hereto or otherwise), in the case of the occurrence of any Event of Default specified in paragraph (ii) or (iii) above the provisions of Clause 4.3 shall apply.

4.2 Subject to Clause 4.3, at any time following the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Non-Defaulting Party may, by notice to the Defaulting Party, specify a Liquidation Date for the termination and liquidation of Transactions in accordance with the provisions of Clause 4.4.

4.3 If the Parties have so agreed, the date of the occurrence of any Event of Default specified in paragraph (ii) or (iii) of Clause 4.1 shall automatically constitute a Liquidation Date, without the need for any notice by either Party and to the intent that the provisions of Clause 4.4 shall then apply.

4.4 Upon the occurrence of a Liquidation Date:

(i) neither Party shall be obliged to make any further payments or deliveries under any Transactions governed by these terms which would, but for this Clause, have fallen due for performance on or after the Liquidation Date and such obligations shall be satisfied by settlement (whether by payment, set-off or otherwise) of the Liquidation Amount;

(ii) the Non-Defaulting Party shall (on, or as soon as reasonably practicable after, the Liquidation Date) determine (discounting if appropriate), in respect of each Transaction governed by these terms, its total cost, loss or, as the case may be, gain, in each case expressed in the Non-Defaulting Party’s Base Currency (and, if appropriate, including any loss of bargain, cost of funding or, without duplication, cost, loss or, as the case may be, gain as a result of the termination, liquidation, obtaining, performing or re-establishing of any hedge or related trading position), as a result of the termination, pursuant to this agreement, of each payment or delivery which would otherwise have been required to be made under such Transaction (assuming satisfaction of each applicable condition precedent and having due regard to, if appropriate, such market quotations published on, or official settlement prices set by, a relevant exchange or clearing organisation as may be available on, or immediately preceding, the date of calculation); and

(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”).

4.5 If the Liquidation Amount determined pursuant to Clause 4.4 is a positive amount, the Defaulting Party shall pay it to the Non-Defaulting Party and if it is a negative amount, the Non-Defaulting Party shall pay it to the Defaulting Party. The Non-Defaulting Party shall notify the Defaulting Party of the Liquidation Amount, and by which Party it is payable, immediately after the calculation of such amount.

4.6 Unless the Parties specify otherwise in Schedule 1 or otherwise, where termination and liquidation occurs in accordance with Clause 4.4, the Non-Defaulting Party shall also be entitled, at its discretion, to apply the provisions of Clause 4.4 to any other Transactions entered into between the Parties which are then outstanding, as if each such Transaction were a Transaction governed by these terms.

4.7 The amount payable by one Party to the other Party pursuant to the provisions of Clause 4.5, or any applicable laws or regulations, shall be paid in the Non-Defaulting Party’s Base Currency by the close of business on the business day following the completion of the termination and liquidation under Clause 4.4, or any laws or regulations having a similar effect, (converted as required by applicable law into any other currency, any costs of such conversion to be borne by, and (if applicable) deducted from any payment to, the Defaulting Party). Any such amount which is not paid on the due date therefor shall bear interest, at the average rate at which overnight deposits

in the currency of such payment are offered by major banks in the London interbank market as of 11.00 a.m. (London time) (or, if no such rate is available, at such reasonable rate as the Non-Defaulting Party may select) plus 1% per annum, for each day for which such amount remains unpaid.

4.8 For the purposes of any calculation hereunder, the Non-Defaulting Party may convert amounts denominated in any other currency into the Non-Defaulting Party’s Base Currency at such rate prevailing at the time of the calculation as it shall reasonably select.

4.9 The Non-Defaulting Party’s rights under this Clause 4 shall be in addition to, and not in limitation or exclusion of, any other rights which the Non-Defaulting Party may have (whether by agreement, operation of law or otherwise).

5. SET-OFF

Without prejudice to any other right or remedy which it may have, either Party may, on or after the occurrence of a Liquidation Date and the determination of the Liquidation Amount, set off any amount owing by it (whether actual or contingent, present or future and including, if applicable and without limitation, the Liquidation Amount and any amount due and payable on or before the Liquidation Date but remaining unpaid)

to the other Party against any amount owing by such other Party (whether actual or contingent, present or future and including, if applicable and without limitation, the Liquidation Amount and any amount due and payable before the Liquidation Date but remaining unpaid) to the first Party.

6. CURRENCY INDEMNITY

If a Party (the first Party) receives or recovers any amount in respect of an obligation of the other Party (the second Party) in a currency other than that in which such amount was payable, whether pursuant to a judgment of any court or otherwise, the second Party shall indemnify and hold harmless the first Party from and against any cost (including costs of conversion) and loss suffered by the first Party as a result of receiving such amount in a currency other than the currency in which it was due.

7. ASSIGNMENTS AND TRANSFERS

Neither Party may assign, charge or otherwise transfer or purport to assign, charge or otherwise transfer its rights or obligations under this agreement (including the Transactions governed by these terms) or any interest therein without the prior written consent of the other Party, and any purported assignment, charge or transfer in violation of this Clause shall be void.

8. NOTICES

Unless otherwise agreed, all notices, instructions and other communications to be given to a Party under this agreement shall be given to the address and to the individual specified in Schedule 1, or by notice in writing by such Party. Unless otherwise specified, any notice, instruction or other communication given in accordance with this Clause shall be effective in accordance with Term 14(10) of the Margin Trading Customer Agreement.

9. TERMINATION, WAIVER AND PARTIAL INVALIDITY

9.1 Either of the Parties hereto may terminate this agreement at any time by seven days’ prior notice to the other Party and termination shall be effective at the end of such seventh day; provided, however, that any such termination shall not affect any then outstanding Transactions governed by these terms, and the provisions of this agreement shall continue to apply until all the obligations of each Party to the other under this agreement (including the Transactions governed by these terms) have been fully performed.

9.2 A Party may waive any right, power or privilege under this agreement only by (and to the extent of) an express statement in writing.

9.3 If, at any time, any provision of these terms is or becomes illegal, invalid or unenforceable in any respect under the law of any jurisdiction, neither the legality, validity or enforceability of the remaining provisions of these terms nor the legality, validity or enforceability of such provision under the law of any other jurisdiction shall in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

10. TIME OF ESSENCE

Time shall be of the essence in this agreement.

11. PAYMENTS

Every payment to be made by a Party under these terms shall be made in same day (or immediately available) and freely transferable funds to the bank account designated by the other Party for such purpose.
