subsidiaries and affiliates.
DEFINITION

property," as used herein shall include, but not be limited to money,
securities and commodities of every kind and nature and all contracts and
options relating thereto, whether for present or future delivery.
LIEN

carried or maintained by you in your possession and control for any purpose, in
or for, any of the accounts of the undersigned, now or hereafter opened,
including accounts in which the undersigned may have an interest, shall be
subject to a lien for the discharge of all the indebtedness and other
obligations of the undersigned to you, and are to be held by you as security
for the payment of any liability or indebtedness of the undersigned to you in

commodities and other property so held by you from or to any other of the
accounts of the undersigned whenever in your judgment you consider such a
transfer necessary for your protection. In enforcing your lien, you shall have
the discretion to determine which securities and property are to be sold and
which contracts are to be closed.
LIQUIDATION
4. You shall have the right, in accordance with your general policies
regarding your margin maintenance requirements, as such may be modified,
amended or supplemented from time to time, or if, in your discretion you
consider it necessary for your protection to require additional collateral at
an earlier or later point in time than called for by said general policies, or
in the event that a petition in bankruptcy, or for appointment of a receiver is
filed by or against the undersigned, or an attachment is levied against the
accounts of the undersigned, or in the event of the death of the undersigned,
to sell any or all securities, commodities and other property in the accounts
of the undersigned with you, whether carried individually or jointly with
others, to buy any or all securities, commodities and other property which may
be short in such accounts, to cancel any open orders and to close any or all
2
outstanding contracts, all without demand for margin or additional margin,
notice of sale or purchase or other notice or advertisement. Any such sales or
purchases may be made at your discretion on any exchange or other market where
such business is usually transacted, or at public auction or private sale, and
you may be the purchasers for your own account, it being understood that a
prior demand, or call, or prior notice of the time and place of such sale or
purchase shall not be considered a waiver of your right to sell or buy without
demand or notice as herein provided.
PAYMENT OF INDEBTEDNESS UPON DEMAND
5. The undersigned shall at all times be liable for the payment upon demand
of any debit balance or other obligations owing in any of the accounts of the
undersigned with you and, the undersigned shall be liable to you for any

thereof, in whole or in part, by you or by the undersigned; and, the

demand.

undersigned may be pledged and repledged by you from time to time, without
notice to the undersigned, either separately or in common with other such
securities, commodities and other property for any amount due in the accounts
of the undersigned, or for any greater amount, and you may do so without
retaining to your possession or control for delivery a like amount of similar
securities, commodities or other property.
MARGIN REQUIREMENTS, CREDIT CHARGES AND CREDIT INVESTIGATION

laws of the State of New York. It is understood that the interest charge made
to the undersigned's account at the close of a charge period will be added to
the opening balance for the next charge period unless paid.
