CLIENT INSTRUCTIONS AND ACTIONS Sample Clauses
CLIENT INSTRUCTIONS AND ACTIONS. 3.1 At maturity delivery obligations will (or, in the case of an option, will if it is exercised) arise. Frequently those trading for investment purposes will not wish to make or receive delivery of the underlying Investment or asset but prefer to take any profit or loss in cash, which can be achieved by closing out the contract. Subject to the requirements of the Agreement, the Rules and any further requirements Morgan Stanley notifies to the Client, the Client may at any time before the time for performance of a Client Contract request Morgan Stanley to close out the corresponding Exchange Contract or, if a purchased option, to exercise that option. If the closing out of the Exchange Contract results in a sum of money being due to the Exchange, Clearing House or Broker by Morgan Stanley, Morgan Stanley will notify the Client of that amount which will be immediately payable by the Client to Morgan Stanley under the corresponding Client Contract.
3.2 To enable Morgan Stanley to settle, deliver or, in the case of options, exercise or allocate an Exchange Contract the Client will give Morgan Stanley such instructions and take such action as Morgan Stanley reasonably requires. So that Morgan Stanley can communicate such instructions to the relevant Exchange, Clearing House or Broker, or take any other action that is necessary to effect such instructions, the Client must give Morgan Stanley the Client’s instructions within any time limit Morgan Stanley notifies to the Client.
3.3 If the Client fails to give Morgan Stanley any instructions or to take any actions that Morgan Stanley has required pursuant to paragraph 3.2 of this Schedule, Morgan Stanley may: (i) close out any relevant open positions; (ii) make or receive delivery of any underlying Investment or asset: and (iii) take action to cover, reduce or eliminate any potential losses or liabilities in respect of the relevant Exchange Contract, on such terms and in such manner as Morgan Stanley, in a acting in a commercially reasonable manner, deems necessary or appropriate. For the avoidance of doubt Morgan Stanley shall not be under any obligation to exercise rights under this paragraph 3.3.
3.4 The Client must decide whether or not to exercise any option. Morgan Stanley will not be responsible to the Client for the consequences of failing to exercise an option if Morgan Stanley does not receive sufficiently clear and timely instructions from the Client in relation to the exercise of such option.
