CLIENT AGREEMENT
In consideration of your opening one or more accounts for me ("we", "us"
and "our" are each substituted for "I, "me" and "my", respectively, in the
case of multiple account holders, corporations and other entities), and
your agreeing to act as broker/dealer for me for the extension of credit
and in the purchase or sale of securities, commodities, options and other
property. It is agreed in respect to any and all accounts, whether upon
margin or otherwise, which I now have or may at any future time have with
Xxxxxxx Xxxxx Xxxxxx Inc. or its direct or indirect subsidiaries and
affiliates or their successors or assigns (hereinafter referred to as "you"
or "your" or "SSB"), that:
1. All transactions entered into under this Agreement shall be subject to
any applicable constitution, rules, regulations, customs and usages of the
exchange or market and its clearinghouse, if any, where such transactions
are executed by SSB or its agents and to all applicable laws, rules and
regulations of governmental authorities and self-regulatory agencies. Such
reference to the "constitution, rules, regulations, customs and usages of
the exchange" shall in no way be construed to create a cause of action
arising from any violation of such constitution, rules, regulations,
customs and usages. If any provision is enacted that would be inconsistent
with any of the provisions of this Agreement, the provision so affected
shall be deemed modified or superseded by the enactment, but the remaining
provisions of this Agreement shall remain in effect. Except as herein
provided, no provision of this Agreement may be waived, altered, modified
or amended unless the same is in writing and signed by the authorized
official of SSB.
2. I agree that all property which I own or in which I have an ownership
interest, whether owned individually, jointly or in the name of another
person or entity, which at any time may be in your possession or control
for any purpose, including safekeeping, shall be subject to a continuing
security interest, lien and right of set-off for the discharge and
satisfaction of any debts or obligations however arising that I may owe to
SSB at any time and for any reason. SSB may at its discretion hold such
property until my debts or obligations to SSB are fully satisfied or SSB
may apply such property and the proceeds of the liquidation of such
property toward the satisfaction of my debts and obligations and I will
remain liable to SSB for any deficiency. In enforcing your security
interest, you shall have the discretion to determine which property is to
be sold and the order in which it is to be sold and shall have all the
rights and remedies available to a secured party under the New York Uniform
Commercial Code. Without your prior written consent, I will not cause or
allow any of the collateral held in my account(s), whether now owned or
hereafter acquired, to be or become subject to any liens, security
interests, mortgages or encumbrances of any nature other than your security
interest.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, I hereby authorize SSB to
automatically liquidate any money market fund shares or withdraw any
savings deposit balances available in my account(s) from time to time to
cover any of my indebtedness or obligations to SSB including non-trade
related debts. You are further authorized to liquidate any other property
held in my account(s) to satisfy any such indebtedness or obligations
whenever in your discretion you consider it necessary for your protection.
You are authorized without further direction from me to invest any eligible
free credit balances in any of my accounts in the money market fund that I
have chosen. If I fail to choose a money market fund, you are authorized to
make this choice on my behalf. All such investments commonly called
"sweeps" shall be governed by SSB's prevailing terms and conditions as they
may exist from time to time.
If I have elected the Insured Deposit Account ("XXX") feature as my sweep,
you are authorized without further direction from me to invest eligible
free credit balances in my accounts in savings deposits at the depository
institutions in the order set forth on the list furnished to me from time
to time. I understand that you may amend the list of depository
institutions and that I may eliminate depository institutions from the list
at any time. If my funds invested through the XXX feature reach the maximum
amount that I have authorized you to so invest or that may be so invested,
you are authorized to invest excess eligible free credit balances in the
money market fund I have chosen or you have chosen pursuant to my
authorization. I have read the XXX Disclosure Document and agree to be
bound by its terms and conditions.
"Property" as used anywhere in this Agreement shall include, but not be
limited to, investment property, securities and commodities accounts,
securities of all kinds, money, saving deposits, certificates of deposit,
bankers' acceptances, commercial paper, options, commodities, and contracts
for the future delivery of commodities or relating to commodities or
securities, and the distributions, proceeds, products and accessions of any
of the above. All property held in a securities account shall be treated as
a financial asset under Article 8 of the New York Uniform Commercial Code.
3. In case of the sale of any security, commodity, or other property at my
direction and the inability of SSB to deliver the same to the purchaser by
reason of my failure to supply them to SSB, I authorize SSB to borrow any
security, commodity, or other property necessary to make delivery thereof,
and I hereby agree to be responsible for any loss which SSB may sustain
thereby and any premiums, interest or other costs which SSB may be required
to pay as a result of such borrowing, and for any loss or cost which SSB
may sustain by reason of its inability to borrow the security, commodity,
or other property sold.
I agree that if I utilize your services to receive or issue funds by wire
(wire transfers), I am responsible for the issuance of accurate and
complete instructions in relation to said wire transfers and I will hold
you harmless from all liabilities if I fail to fulfill this responsibility.
I further agree that should I incur a loss in connection with a wire
transfer as a result of negligence or other activities on your part, your
liability will be limited to the actual amount of the misdirected or
misapplied funds and no other damages of any other nature including
consequential damages will be recoverable.
You may charge my account(s) with such usual and customary charges as you
may determine to cover your services and facilities, including, but not
limited to, custody and transaction fees. I will promptly pay SSB any
deficiency that might arise in my account(s). I understand and agree that a
finance charge may be charged on any debt balance in any cash account I
have with SSB in accordance with the terms described in the SSB literature
previously provided to me and any subsequent modifications thereto which
will be provided to me. You may transfer excess funds between any of my
accounts (including commodity accounts) for any reason not in conflict with
the Commodity Exchange Act or any other applicable law. If any transactions
are effected on an exchange in which a foreign currency is used, any profit
or loss as a result of the fluctuation in the exchange rate will be charged
or credited to my account(s).
4. Communications may be sent to the mailing address on file with you, or
at such other address as I may hereafter give in writing, and all
communications so sent, whether by mail, telegraph, messenger or otherwise,
shall be deemed given to me personally, whether actually received or not. I
acknowledge that the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission
require that certain communications be sent to me rather than an agent
acting on my behalf, I warrant that the address currently on file with you
is an address where I personally receive communications unless it is the
address of a qualified custodian as defined by the Securities and Exchange
Commission. Transactions entered into for my account(s) shall be confirmed
in writing to me where required by applicable law or regulation. In
addition, SSB shall provide me with periodic statements reflecting activity
in such account(s). I agree that transactions reflected on such
confirmations and statements shall be conclusively deemed accurate as
stated unless I notify SSB in writing within three (3) days and ten (10)
days of receipt, respectively, that the information contained in such
confirmation or statement is inaccurate. Such notice must be sent by me to
SSB by telegram or letter directed to the attention of the Branch Office
Manager of the office servicing the account. Failure to so notify SSB shall
also preclude me from asserting at any later date that such transaction was
unauthorized.
I authorize you at your discretion to obtain reports and to provide
information to others concerning my credit standing and my business
conduct. You may ask credit reporting agencies for consumer reports of my
credit history. Upon my request you will inform me whether you have
obtained any such consumer reports and if you have, you will inform me of
the name and address of the consumer reporting agency that furnished the
reports to you.
5. I hereby represent that I am of the age of majority. Unless I advise you
to the contrary, in writing, and provide you with a letter of approval from
my employer, where required, I represent that I am not an employee of any
exchange, or of any corporation of which any exchange owns a majority of
the capital stock, or of a member of any exchange, or of a member firm or
member corporation registered on any exchange, or of any corporation, firm
or individual engaged in the business of dealing, either as a broker or as
principal, in securities, bills of exchange acceptances or other forms of
commercial paper. I further represent that no one except those signing this
agreement has an interest in my account.
If my account has been introduced to you and is carried by you only as a
clearing broker, I agree that you are not responsible for the conduct of
the introducing broker and your only responsibilities to me relate to the
execution, clearing and bookkeeping of transactions in my accounts.

ADDITIONAL TERMS FOR MULTIPLE PARTY ACCOUNTS
PARAGRAPHS 12 THROUGH 14 APPLY ONLY TO MULTIPLE PARTY ACCOUNTS.
12. If this is a multiple party account, in consideration of you and your
successors carrying a multiple party account on margin or otherwise for the
undersigned, each of us agrees to be jointly and severally liable for said
account and to pay on demand any debit balance or losses at any time due in
this account. Any of us has full power and authority to make purchases and
sales, including short sales, to withdraw monies and securities from ,or to
do anything else with reference to our account, either individually or in
our joint names, and you and your successors are authorized and directed to
act upon instructions received from any of us and to accept payment and
securities from any of us for the credit of this account. Notwithstanding
the ability of each of us to control the account individually, we
understand and agree that you may, at your sole option, require written
instructions signed by all account owners when payments or transfers are
requested. Any and all notices, communications, or any demands for margin
sent to any of us shall be binding upon all, and may be given by mail or
other means of communication. We hereby declare this account to be joint
tenancy with rights of survivorship unless we instruct you to establish
another form of multiple ownership by executing a tenancy in common
agreement, community property agreement, partnership agreement or other
applicable agreement evidencing the desired form of ownership.
13. Each of us agrees to hold SSB harmless from and indemnify SSB against
any losses, causes of action, damages and expenses arising from or as the
result of SSB following the instructions of either or any of us. SSB, in
its sole discretion, may at any time suspend all activity in the multiple
party account pending instructions from a court of competent jurisdiction
or require that instructions pertaining to the multiple party account or
the property therein be in writing signed by both or all of us. SSB shall
be entitled to recover from the account or from any of us prior to
distribution of the funds or property therein such costs as it may incur,
including reasonable attorney's fees, as the result of any dispute between
or among us relating to or arising from the account.
14. Each of us agrees that, in the event of the death of either or any of
us, the survivor or survivors shall immediately give you written notice
thereof, and you may, before or after receiving such notice, take such
actions, require such papers, inheritance or estate tax waivers, retain
such portion of the account and restrict transactions in the account as you
may deem advisable to protect you against any tax, liability, penalty or
loss under any present or future laws or otherwise. The estate of either or
any of us who shall have died shall be liable and each survivor shall
continue liable, jointly and severally, to you for any net debit balance or
loss in said account in any way resulting from the completion of
transactions initiated prior to the receipt by you of the written notice of
the death of the decedent, or incurred in the liquidation of the account or
the adjustment of the interest of the respective parties.
If this account contains rights of survivorship, in the event of the death
of either or any of us, all assets in the account shall pass to and be
vested in the survivor or survivors on the same terms and conditions as
previously held, without in any manner releasing the decedent's estate from
the liabilities provided for herein. The estate of the decedent(s) and the
survivors hereby jointly and severally agree to fully indemnify and hold
harmless SSB from all liability for any taxes which may be owed in
connection therewith or any claims by third parties.
MARGIN AGREEMENT
PARAGRAPHS 15 THROUGH 17 APPLY ONLY TO MARGIN ACCOUNTS
15. You are hereby authorized, without notice to me, and without regard as
to whether or not you have in your possession or under your control at the
time thereof other property of the same kind and amount to pledge,
repledge, hypothecate or rehypothecate my property or any part thereof,
either separately or together with other property of other clients, either
for the amount due you from me or for a greater sum.
16. I agree to pay ON DEMAND any balance owing with respect to any of my
accounts, including interest and commissions and any costs of collection
(including attorney's fees, if incurred by you). I understand that you may
demand full payment of the balance due in my account plus any interest
charges accrued thereon, at your sole option, at any time without cause and
whether or not such demand is made for your protection. I understand that
all loans made are not for any specific term or duration but are due and
payable at your discretion upon a demand for payment made to me. I agree
that all payments received for my account(s) including interest, dividends,
premiums, principal or other payments may be applied by you to any balances
due in my account(s). If I maintain both a cash and a margin account with
you, you are authorized in your discretion to utilize the equity in either
type of account in satisfaction of any maintenance margin requirement
without the actual transference of funds or securities between such
accounts.
Whenever you deem it necessary or appropriate for your protection, you are
authorized, in your sole discretion, to sell, assign, transfer and deliver
all or any part of my property which may be in your possession or control
in any manner you deem appropriate, make any necessary purchases to cover
short sales and/or any open commodity contract positions and/or to cancel
any outstanding orders in order to close out the account. Without limiting
the generality of the foregoing, such sale, purchase or cancellation may be
made, in your sole discretion, on the exchange or other market where such
business is then usually transacted, at public auction or at private sale
without advertising the same. All of the above may be done without demand
for margin or notice of purchase, sale or cancellation to me. No demand
margin, or notice given to me of intent to purchase or sell property or to
cancel orders in my account, shall impose on you any obligation to make
such demand or provide such notice to me. Any such notice or demand is
hereby expressly waived, and no specific demand or notice shall invalidate
this waiver. After deducting all costs and expenses of the purchase and/or
sale and deliveries, including, but not limited to, commissions and
transfer and stamp taxes, you shall apply the residue of the proceeds to
the payment of any and all of my liabilities to you, and I shall remain
liable for any deficiency. Upon any such sale, you may purchase the whole
or any part thereof free from any right of redemption. In the event of my
death or incompetency the authority given by this Paragraph shall continue
effective and shall be binding upon by personal representatives and heirs.
17. I will at all times maintain such margin for my account maintained by
SSB, as SSB may require from time to time, and any debit balances arising
in such account shall be charged interest in accordance with the terms
described in the SSB literature previously provided me and any subsequent
modifications thereto which will be provided to me. I am aware that
interest charges, if not paid will be added to the debit balance in my
account for the next interest period. I am aware and agree that you may
impose, for my account(s), margin requirements more stringent than those
required by law or exchange regulations. I further understand and agree
that such margin requirements may be changed and modified by you from time
to time without prior notice to me. I further agree that any waiver by you
or failure to promptly enforce, as to my account or that of others, such
margin requirements shall not in any way prevent you from subsequently
enforcing said margin requirements with regard to my account.
