BLOCK TRADE FACILITY. The Client represents and warrants to Morgan Stanley that the Client fully understand the Block Trading Facility and its implications, issued under cover of LIFFE General Notice 1384 and amended from time to time. On the basis of this representation and warranty and the information which Morgan Stanley have about the Client’s expertise and knowledge, Morgan Stanley hereby give the Client notice that Morgan Stanley shall treat the Client as a Wholesale Client (as defined in the Block Trade Trading Procedures) and that Morgan Stanley may conduct Block Trades on the Client’s behalf using LIFFE’s Block Trading Facility. The Block Trade Facility (the “Facility”) was introduced by LIFFE to enable LIFFE members and their clients to arrange business of significant size alongside the LIFFE CONNECTTM central order book, at a price consistent with fair market value for a transaction of that nature, and submit such business to the LIFFE Exchange via LIFFE CONNECT for authorisation during the normal trading hours of the contract concerned. LIFFE will designate those contracts eligible for execution as Block Trades from time to time and will prescribe minimum volume thresholds for each, which are subject to change from time to time by LIFFE General Notice. LIFFE members must ensure that any Block Trade price quoted satisfies fair market value principles. LIFFE will require justification of any trades negotiated at apparently abnormal levels and will reserve the right to refuse to register any such trades. LCH reserves the right to make an additional intra-day margin call in respect of any Block Trade submitted for registration. There are no restrictions upon members entering into Block Trades (provided that the member seeking to register the trade has the requisite trading right). However, only Wholesale Clients (i.e. those with sufficient knowledge, expertise and understanding of the implications of the Facility) will be able to participate. Before a non-member may participate, the member is required to satisfy himself that the client meets these criteria and to notify the client in writing, in advance, that he is to be treated as a Wholesale Client. Following authorisation, the Block Trade will be published on LIFFE CONNECTTM and via Quote Vendors.
