FCA: Corporate Trading Agreement

CLIENT- IMPORTANT NOTICE TO ALL CUSTOMERS
In order to open an account with AM(UK), prospective Customers must qualify as a Counterparty or Professional Client and will be required to represent that they are acting for their own account and the prospective Customer is required to supply the appropriate proofs as laid out in the onboarding review and where applicable sign the Client Declaration provided in the Client Categorisation letter.This Customer Trading Agreement (the “Agreement”) is between Advanced Markets (UK) Ltd (“AM(UK)”), a company organized under the laws of England and Wales, with company registration number 10671764, its successors and assigns, and the party (or parties) executing this document. In consideration of AM(UK) agreeing to open and maintain one or more accounts of the undersigned (referred to hereinafter as “Customer”) and providing services to the Customer in connection with over the counter spot and forward foreign currency contracts and any similar instruments (collectively referred to as “OTC FX”), which may be purchased or sold by or through AM(UK) for the Customer’s accounts, the Customer agrees as follows:

1. ACCOUNT AUTHORISATION.

AM(UK) is authorised to open one or more accounts in Customer’s name at AM(UK) to carry Customer’s contracts in OTC FX (collectively, the “Account”). AM(UK) is further authorised to purchase and sell OTC FX for Customer’s account with a counterparty bank or sophisticated institutions or participants in accordance with Customer’s oral (proper identification required), written (signature required) or electronic (password required) instructions. Unless instructed by Customer to the contrary in writing, AM(UK) is authorised to execute all orders with such banking institutions, counterparties, banks, or sophisticated institutional participants as AM(UK) deems appropriate having regard to its Best Execution Policy which AM(UK) shall provide to the Customer. AM(UK) may, at its sole discretion, engage in OTC FX transactions with Customer where AM(UK) will act as the counterparty to the Customer in such transactions.

2. ANTI-MONEY LAUNDERING AND ANTI-TERRORISM LAWS.

Customer represents and covenants, that Customer: (a) is familiar with all applicable laws, regulations, orders in effect from time to time relating to anti-money laundering and counter terrorism (“Anti-Terrorism Laws”) of the United Kingdom, including the Terrorism Act 2000, the Proceeds of Crime Act 2002, the Serious Organized Crime and Police Act 2005 and the Money Laundering Regulation 2017, (b) acknowledges that Customer’s transactions are subject to applicable Anti-Terrorism Laws, (c) will comply in all material respects with all applicable Anti-Terrorism Laws’ (d) acknowledges that AM(UK)’s performance hereunder may also be subject to compliance with all applicable Anti-Terrorism Laws; (e) will not conduct business with an person named on the HM Treasury sanctions list, and none of its shareholders or Authorised Parties have or are on the HM Treasury sanctions list; and (f) will take such other action as AM(UK) may reasonably request in connection herewith.
Customer acknowledges that AM(UK) may require further information from Customer from time to time to comply with the Anti-Terrorism Laws. By entering into this Agreement, opening an account and transacting with AM(UK), Customer undertakes to provide AM(UK) with all additional information and assistance that we may reasonably require to comply with the Anti-Terrorism Laws. Customer also warrants that:

i) Customer is not aware and have no reason to suspect that:

a. the moneys held to fund Customer’s Transaction have been or will be derived from or related to any money laundering, terrorism financing or other illegal activities, whether prohibited under English law, international law or convention or by agreement; and
b. the proceeds of Customer’s investment will be used to finance any illegal activities; and

ii) neither Customer nor your directors, in the case of a company, are politically exposed persons as defined in the Anti-Terrorism Laws.

3. RISK DISCLOSURE.

AM(UK) requires that the Customer (in this section Customer is referred to as “you” or “your”) be aware of the risks involved in trading OTC FX. When deciding whether to trade in OTC FX you should take into account the following risks inherent in OTC FX trading. This disclosure statement is not all-inclusive but rather highlights some of the risk factors relating to OTC FX trading.
BY EXECUTING THIS AGREEMENT YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT TRADING OTC FX CONTRACTS IS A SPECULATIVE AND RISKY ACTIVITY AND THAT YOU UNDERSTAND THE RISKS CONTAINED IN THIS SECTION AND ALL OTHER RISKS INHERENT IN OTC FX TRADING. YOU FURTHER ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT DESPITE SUCH RISKS, YOU ARE WILLING AND ABLE TO ASSUME THE FINANCIAL RISKS AND OTHER HAZARDS OF TRADING IN OTC FX CONTRACTS.

A. OTC FX Trading on Margin Is Very Risky.
OTC FX trading is highly speculative and is suitable only for those who (i) understand and are willing to assume the economic, legal and other risks involved, and (ii) are financially able to assume losses significantly in excess of margin or deposits. Foreign currency prices are highly volatile. Price movements of foreign currencies are influenced by, among other things, interest rates, changes in balance of payments and trade, domestic and international rates of inflation, international trade restrictions and currency devaluations and revaluations. For example, there can be serious market disruptions if economic or political events locally or overseas affect the market. It is not possible to foresee all risks in advance. You represent, warrant and agree that you understand these risks; that you are willing and able, financially and otherwise, to assume the risks of OTC FX trading and that loss of your entire Account balance will not change your life style. You recognise that guarantees of profit or freedom from loss are impossible in performance of OTC FX trading. You acknowledge that you have received no such guarantees from AM(UK) or from any of its representatives or any introducing agent or other entity with whom you are conducting your AM(UK) account and have not entered into this Agreement in consideration of or in reliance upon any such guarantees or similar representations.

B. Low Margin and High Leverage Can Result in Rapid and Total Losses in a Volatile Market.
The high leverage and low margin associated with OTC FX trading can result in significant losses due to price changes in OTC FX. A relatively small market movement will have a proportionately larger impact on the funds that you have deposited or will have to deposit; this may work against you as well as for you. You may sustain a total loss of initial Margin funds and any additional funds deposited with AM(UK) to maintain your positions. If the market moves against your position or margin levels are increased, you may be called upon to pay substantial additional funds on short notice to maintain your positions. If you fail to comply with a request for additional funds within the time prescribed, your positions may be liquidated at a loss and you will be liable for any resulting deficit.

C. TRADING OTC FX WITH AM(UK).
When you trade OTC FX contracts with AM(UK), AM(UK) will act as principal in a privately negotiated contract with you. AM(UK) may, in turn, enter into “back-to-back” transactions with others which may include its affiliates. A mark-up is included by AM(UK) in the price it quotes to you. The OTC FX contract Transactions are not executed on an exchange and are not cleared by a central clearing organisation. Therefore, any contract with AM(UK) will be an obligation of AM(UK) and not an obligation of a clearing house. For this reason you will not be afforded the regulatory and financial protections afforded to contracts traded on an exchange. Both you and AM(UK) are obligated to perform their respective responsibilities and obligations under each Transaction in accordance with its terms. The terms of each contract are set out in: (i) this Agreement which applies to every Transaction you enter into with AM(UK), and (ii) confirmation which will apply to that particular Transaction. Your obligations under the Transaction are not transferable to another person because each foreign currency contract is a transaction between you and AM(UK). These obligations may only be transferred to another person with AM(UK)’s express consent. In addition, AM(UK) is under no obligation to terminate or close out the Transaction prior to the expiration date for that Transaction. AM(UK) may, but is not obligated to quote you a price for an early close out of a Contract on request.

D. CONTRACTING AS PRINCIPAL.
AM(UK) acts solely in the capacity of an arm’s length contractual counterparty to you in connection with the OTC FX contract Transaction and not in the capacity of your financial advisor or fiduciary. You should not regard any Transaction proposal, suggested hedging strategies or other written materials or oral communications from AM(UK) as investment recommendations or advice or as expressing AM(UK)’s view as to whether a particular Transaction is suitable for you or meets your financial objectives. In addition,
any market or quote that AM(UK) makes for you may be based solely on markets or quotes that are made or quoted to AM(UK) by the counterparties with which it does business. Such quotes or markets may not represent the best quotes or markets available to you or AM(UK) from other sources and AM(UK) undertakes no obligation to obtain competitive quotes or markets from other counterparties. AM(UK) and its affiliates may from time to time have substantial positions in, and may make a market in or otherwise buy or sell instruments similar or economically related to, OTC FX Transactions entered into with you. AM(UK) and its affiliates may also carry out proprietary trading activities, including hedging transactions related to the initiation or termination of an OTC FX Transaction with you that may adversely affect the market price or other factors underlying the OTC FX Transaction entered into with you and consequently, the value of such Transaction. AM(UK), its personnel and affiliates and various other parties may execute orders at the same or better prices at the same time or subsequent to a Customer Transaction.

E. OFF-EXCHANGE TRANSACTION AND LIMITED LIQUIDITY.
Due to the circumstances addressed in parts 3.C and 3.D your OTC FX Transactions with AM(UK) will not occur on a regulated exchange and it may be difficult or impossible to liquidate an existing position, to assess the value, to determine a fair price or to assess the exposure to risk. For these reasons, these Transactions may involve increased risks. Off exchange Transactions may be less regulated or subject to a separate regulatory regime. Before you undertake such Transactions, you should familiarise yourself with applicable rules and attendant risks. Transactions on markets in other jurisdictions, including markets formally linked to a domestic market, may also expose you to additional risk. Such markets may be subject to regulation, which may offer different or diminished investor protection. Before you trade, you should inquire about any rules relevant to particular Transactions. The local regulatory authority will be unable to compel the enforcement of the rules of regulatory authorities or markets in other jurisdictions where your Transactions have been effected.

F. YOUR OBLIGATIONS AND RISKS IN OTC FX TRANSACTIONS.
From time to time you will be responsible to meet the obligations, in accordance with the terms of the Contract, arising under a foreign currency spot or forward transaction. These transactions may be used to establish long or short positions in the market. A spot contract is a cash market transaction to buy or sell a specific quantity of currency immediately, physical settlement will be required in no more than two (2) days. A forward contract is a contract to buy or sell a specific quantity of currency on a specific date in the future at a specific price. The price terms and characteristics of spot or forward transactions, unlike exchange futures contracts, are privately negotiated, accordingly, there is no centralised price source and the transactions are not cleared through a clearinghouse. In general, the OTC FX market is (i) unregulated, (ii) there are no limitations on daily price movements (unless imposed by a government or central bank authority), (iii) no rules to regulate valuation or settlement procedures, and (iv) no minimum financial requirements for market participants. On the defined settlement dates for spot and forward contracts you may be obligated to pay AM(UK) or receive payment through either the physical delivery of currency or cash settlement. The means of settlement are governed by the terms of the specified contract. The size of the cash settlement payment or deficit is dependent on the type of position you have and the direction of the market movement in the time since the position was established. You will be exposed to the movement in the price of the market unless you have an underlying currency position that the forward contract is hedging.

G. ELECTRONIC TRADING.
OTC FX Transactions are generally completed through AM(UK)’s web based electronic trading system. If you undertake transactions on an electronic trading system, you will be exposed to risks associated with the system including the failure of hardware and software. AM(UK)’s automated order entry system is designed to provide immediate transmission of Customer’s order once Customer enters the notional amount and clicks “Buy/Sell.” There is no “second look” before transmission, and market Orders cannot be cancelled. The result of any system failure may be that your Order is either not executed according to your instructions or is not executed at all.

H. COMMISSION AND OTHER CHARGES.
Before you begin to trade, you should ensure you understand all commission, fees and other charges for which you will be liable. These charges will affect your net profit (if any) or increase your loss.

4. RISK OF LOSS; LIMITATION OF LIABILITY.

1. All Transactions effected for Customer’s Account and all fluctuations in the market prices of the OTC FX contracts carried in Customer’s Account are solely at Customer’s risk, and Customer shall be solely liable therefore under all circumstances. Customer represents and warrants that Customer is willing and financially able to sustain such losses, and that the trading of foreign currency contracts is suitable for Customer. AM(UK) is not responsible for the performance or non- performance by any third party (including other dealers or banks) to AM(UK) of its obligations in respect of any OTC FX Contract or other property of Customer; or for delays in the transmission, delivery or execution of Customer’s Orders due to malfunctions of communications facilities or systems or other causes beyond AM(UK)’s reasonable control or anticipation. AM(UK) shall not be responsible for the actions or non-actions of agents selected by AM(UK) in good faith or appointed at the request of Customer, whether such action and/or non-action amounts to negligence or inability on the part of the relevant agent.
2. Customer consents to AM(UK)’s use of Automated Systems or service bureaus in conjunction with Customer’s Account, including, but not limited to, automated order entry, order routing and/or order execution systems; record keeping, reporting and Account reconciliation systems; and risk management systems (collectively, “Automated Systems”). In addition, Customer will be allowed access to certain Automated Systems in order to place orders for Transactions in OTC FX and to access other account services and products provided by AM(UK). Customer understands that the use of Automated Systems entails risks, including, but not limited to, interruption of service, system or communications failure, delays in service, and errors in the design or functioning of such Automated Systems (collectively, a “System Failure”) that could cause substantial damage, expense or liability to the Customer.
   AM(UK) MAKES NO REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, WITH RESPECT TO THE SELECTION, DESIGN, FUNCTIONALITY, OPERATION, TITLE OR NON- INFRINGEMENT OF ANY AUTOMATED SYSTEM, AND MAKES NO EXP RESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE AND/OR NON- INFRINGEMENT, AND SPECIFICALLY DISCLAIMS ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY WITH RESPECT THERETO. WITHOUT LIMITING THE FOREGOING, AM(UK) EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ANY REPRESENTATION THAT ANY AUTOMATED SYSTEM WILL OPERATE UNINTERRUPTED OR BE ERROR-FREE.
3. In addition to the limitation of liability set forth in Section 4.A above, AM(UK) will have no liability whatsoever for any claim of loss, cost, expense, damage or liability of Customer or any third person arising out of or relating to any System Failure, regardless of whether such claim is based on contract, tort, strict liability or any other theory. AM(UK) will not have any liability for the actual or alleged insufficient exercise of care in selecting any sub-agents or in selecting, monitoring
4. or operating any Automated System, for any failure or delay in informing Customer of any System Failure or in taking action to prevent or correct any such System Failure. In no event will AM(UK) have any liability for any incidental, special or consequential damages, including, but not limited to, loss of profits or loss of use, even if AM(UK) was aware of the likelihood of such damages. AM(UK) has no responsibility to inform Customer of (i) any decision to use, not use or cease using any Automated System, (ii) the characteristics, functions, design or purpose of any Automated System, or (iii) any specific risks inherent in any Automated System.

5. MARKET VOLATILITY

There is considerable exposure to risk in any OTC FX Transaction. Any transaction involving OTC FX is exposed to risks including, but not limited to, the potential for   changing political and/or economic conditions that may substantially affect the price or liquidity of a currency. Therefore, OTC FX trading means that any market movement   will have an equally proportional effect on your deposited funds. This may work against you as well as for you. Consider the possibility of software and hardware failure. There are also risks associated with utilising an internet-based deal execution software application including, but not limited, to the failure of hardware and software. AM(UK) attempts to minimise the impact of system failure by making phone trading always available. Since AM(UK) does not control signal power, its reception or routing via internet, configuration of Customer’s equipment or reliability of its connection, AM(UK) shall not be responsible for communication failures, distortions, or delays when trading on-line (via internet).

6. PRICING INFORMATION; QUOTING ERRORS

A. Customer acknowledges:

i) any information communicated to Customer by AM(UK) or by any person does not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any OTC FX Contract;

ii) such information, although based upon information obtained from sources believed by AM(UK) to be reliable, may be incomplete and may be unverified; and

iii) AM(UK) makes no representation, warranty or guarantee as to, and shall not be responsible for, the accuracy or completeness of any information furnished to Customer.

iv) In the event Customer submits a request, in accordance with the terms of this agreement, to AM(UK) seeking to confirm the details of a transaction that has been previously executed through the Automated System, AM(UK) will within a reasonable time review the request and make representation that the details of the specific transaction are accurate and complete.

B. Customer acknowledges that AM(UK) and/or its officers, directors, affiliates, associates, members or representatives may have a position in or may intend to buy or sell OTC FX, which are the subject of market information furnished to Customer. Customer acknowledges that AM(UK) makes no representations concerning the tax implications or treatment of Contracts.

C. Should a quoting error occur due to a mistype of a quote or misquote given by telephone (including responses to Customer requests), AM(UK) is not liable for any resulting errors in account balances and reserves the right to make necessary corrections or adjustments on the Account involved. Any dispute arising from such quoting errors will be resolved on the basis of the fair market value, as determined by AM(UK) in its sole discretion, of the relevant currency at the time such an error occurred. Customer must review and report errors within a reasonable time on confirmations and statements. Failure to notify AM(UK) within a reasonable time of any error or omission will bind Customer to the terms of such confirmation or statement, as the case may be.

7. PRICE AVAILABILITY

AM(UK) will make available, by posting on the internet or providing an authorised AM(UK) representative for Customer to telephone, bid prices and ask prices (having regard to its Best Execution Policy) at which they are prepared to enter OTC FX Contracts or cross currency contracts with Customer. Each price shall be for a Contract with a specified value date and shall specify each currency pair involved. AM(UK) expects that these prices will be reasonably related to the bid prices and ask prices available in the market at that time for similar transactions, but a number of factors, including communication system delays, high volume or volatility can result in deviations between quoted prices and other sources. AM(UK) makes no warranty, express or implied, that prices represent prevailing bid prices and ask prices. Also, any third party introducing agent or advisor may impose additional pips to the bid or ask price that may result in an increase of the dealable spread available for the Customer’s Account.

8. ELECTRONIC TRADING AND EXECUTION

AM(UK) will make available to Customer, by posting on the Automated Systems or through the AM(UK) trading desk, bid prices and ask prices at which AM(UK) is prepared to enter into OTC FX Contracts with Customer. AM(UK) makes no warranty, express or implied, that bid prices and ask prices represent bid prices and ask prices then prevailing in the market. Customer agrees that by using AM(UK)’s order-entry system, Customer agrees to the one-click system and accepts the risk of this immediate transmission feature.

9. ORDERS OVER THE TELEPHONE AND EXECUTION

Trading Orders executed via a telephone call to an authorised AM(UK) representative are completed when the respective AM(UK) representative states “agreed” or “done.” At that point Customer has bought or sold and cannot cancel the Transaction. By placing trades through the AM(UK) trading desk, Customer agrees to such immediate execution and accepts the risk of this immediate execution feature. AM(UK) is not responsible for disruption, failure or malfunction of telephone lines.

10. TRADING LIMITATIONS

AM(UK) will attempt to execute all Orders that it may, in its sole discretion, accept from Customer in accordance with Customer’s instructions received through the Automated Systems or via telephone to the trading desk. Customer agrees that AM(UK) may, in its sole and absolute discretion, refuse to accept any Order from or enter into any contract with a Customer, including but not limited to, in the event AM(UK) believes that the acceptance of Customer’s Order, or the entering into of such contract with Customer, would be in contravention of any rule or law. In addition, AM(UK) may at any time, in its sole and absolute discretion, limit the number or types of positions that Customer may maintain or acquire with AM(UK), and Customer agrees not to exceed such limits. AM(UK) is under no obligation to affect any Transaction for Customer’s Account that would create positions in those accounts in excess of the limit AM(UK) has set. If Customer exceeds Position Limits imposed by AM(UK), AM(UK) shall have the right to close out positions in excess of the applicable Position Limit.

11. MARGINS

Customer will at all times maintain such Margins for Customer’s Account as required from time to time by AM(UK). Customer shall make deposits of Margin as AM(UK) requests within a reasonable time after such request. IN THE ABSENCE OF UNUSUAL CIRCUMSTANCES, ONE (1) HOUR SHALL BE DEEMED TO BE A REASONABLE TIME; HOWEVER, AM(UK) RESERVES THE RIGHT TO REQUEST DEPOSITS ON SHORTER NOTICE IN ITS SOLE AND ABSOLUTE DISCRETION. Margin deposits shall be made by electronic funds transfer (or other methods, if permitted by AM(UK) in its sole and absolute discretion) of immediately available funds and shall be deemed made when received by AM(UK). AM(UK)’s failure at any time to call for a deposit of Margin shall not constitute a waiver of AM(UK)’s rights to do so at any time thereafter, nor shall it create any liability of AM(UK) to Customer. AM(UK) will open or maintain the Account and grant a margin facility to the Customer provided that AM(UK) may, without notice, at any time and from time to time: (i) reduce or cancel any margin facility made available to the Customer or refuse to grant any additional margin facility to the Customer; or (ii) require the Customer to provide Margin in addition to the Margin requirements of any regulatory authorities. As long as the undersigned shall be indebted to AM(UK), all funds, securities, and other property carried for the Customer’s Account shall be and are hereby pledged and shall constitute a continuing security to insure payment of the indebtedness.

12. COMMISSION, CHARGES AND OTHER COSTS

Customer shall pay such brokerage, commission and all other charges (including, without limitation, mark-ups and markdowns, statement charges, idle account charges, order cancellation charges, account transfer charges or other charges), fees (including without limitation, fees imposed by any interbank agency, bank, contract markets or other regulatory or self-regulatory organisations) arising out of AM(UK) providing services hereunder. AM(UK) may change its commission, charges, and/or fees without notice.
Customer agrees to be liable to AM(UK) for interest on amounts due from Customer to AM(UK) at an interest rate equal to three (3) percentage points above the then prevailing prime rate at AM(UK)’s principal bank or the maximum interest rate allowed by law, whichever is lower. Customer shall pay all such charges as they are incurred, or as AM(UK) in its sole and absolute discretion may determine, and Customer hereby authorises AM(UK) to withdraw the amount of any such charges from Customer’s Account. Customer agrees to pay a transfer fee, to be designated by AM(UK) in the event Customer instructs AM(UK) to transfer open positions, moneys, and/or property of Customer’s account to another institution. AM(UK) confirms all prices quoted to Customer are inclusive of mark-ups and markdowns.

13. FINANCIAL CONDUCT AUTHORITY (‘FCA’) CUSTOMER MONEY RULES

A. CUSTOMER FUNDS
All Customer funds received by AM(UK) are handled in accordance with Principle 10 of the FCA’s Principles for Business (PRIN) and the FCA’s Client Associates Sourcebook (CASS) (“FCA Customer Money Rules”). Moneys paid by you to AM(UK) for Contracts are initially deposited into an AM(UK) Customer Moneys Account.
The moneys paid by Customer into the AM(UK) Customer Money Account are in practice held for Customer and are segregated from AM(UK)’s own funds. Customer agrees and acknowledges however, that individual Accounts of AM(UK)’s customers are not separated from each other within the AM(UK) Customer Moneys Account. Customer further agrees and acknowledges (by signing this Customer Trading Agreement) that the Customer’s moneys will not be subjected to the protections conferred by the FCA Customer Money Rules and consequently such Customer funds will not be segregated from the moneys of AM(UK) in accordance with the FCA Customer Money Rules and may be used by AM(UK) in the course of its own business and the Customer will rank only as a general creditor of the firm.

B. INVESTMENT OF CUSTOMER MONEY
AM(UK) may invest any of Customer’s money held in the AM(UK) Customer Moneys Account as permitted by the FCA Customer Money Rules and Customer irrevocably and unconditionally authorize us to undertake any such investment. Such investments may include:

iv) the acquisition of cash management trust interests;

v) investment in a security issued or guaranteed by the United Kingdom; and/or

ii) upon realisation of an investment of Customer’s moneys, the initial capital invested must either be invested in another investment permitted by the FCA Customer Money Rules or deposited by us into the AM(UK) Customer Moneys Account, operated in accordance with the FCA Customer Money Rules;

iii) in the event that the amount received upon realisation of an investment of Customer’s moneys is less than the initial capital invested, AM(UK) must pay an amount equal to the difference into the AM(UK) Customer Moneys Account for the benefit of Customer, except where any such difference is the result of amounts paid out of the investment to AM(UK) and/or any Associate of AM(UK) in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement; and

iv) AM(UK) will not charge a fee for investing Customer’s moneys.

C. HEDGING COUNTERPARTIES
AM(UK) may use Customer money from the AM(UK) Customer Moneys Account for the purpose of meeting obligations incurred by AM(UK) in connection with margining, guaranteeing, securing, transferring, adjusting or settling dealings in derivatives by us (including dealings with our Hedging Counterparties), including dealings on behalf of other customers. In the case of amounts withdrawn under this clause, the amounts are held in one or more accounts in a Hedging Counterparty’s name in accordance with the FCA Customer Money Rules.

D. PROPERTY HELD ON TRUST
If property, other than money, is given to AM(UK) by Customer or a person acting on Customer’s behalf, or for Customer’s benefit, it must be held by AM(UK) on trust in accordance with the FCA Customer Money Rules.

E. WITHDRAWAL AUTHORITY
Customer acknowledge that AM(UK) is entitled to, and Customer authorises AM(UK) to:

i) withdraw, deduct or apply amounts owing by Customer to AM(UK), its affiliates under this Agreement from AM(UK) Customer Moneys Account or invested by AM(UK) including, without limitation, payment for or in connection with paying initial Margins, adjusting or settling of Transactions entered into by Customer or the payment of interest or finance charges to us, as Customer acknowledges that such amounts belong to AM(UK) under this Agreement and may be used by AM(UK) in our business from time to time, including for payment of amounts to our counterparties; and

ii) pay, withdraw, deduct or apply Customer Money held in AM(UK) Customer Moneys Account or invested by AM(UK) as permitted under the, as Customer acknowledge that such amounts belong to AM(UK) under this Agreement and may be used by AM(UK) in our business from time to time, including for payment of amounts to AM(UK)’s counterparties.
Customer acceptance of this Agreement and payment to the AM(UK) Customer Moneys Account serves as confirmation of Customer’s direction to AM(UK) to withdraw all of Customer’s funds.

F. RECONCILIATION
AM(UK) shall undertake an internal reconciliation of Customer funds on each business day as regards the amount of client funds held as reconciling to the amount of client funds held within its internal records and accounts of the client in the client bank transaction accounts.

G. INFORMATION TO CUSTOMERS
AM(UK) shall provide information to Customers in accordance with the FCA Customer Money Rules as regards to how AM(UK) holds such trades and any specific risks associated hereto.

A. IF AN EVENT OF DEFAULT OCCURS, AM(UK) IN ITS SOLE DISCRETION MAY TAKE ONE OR MORE, OR ANY PORTION OF, THE FOLLOWING ACTIONS:

i) close out any or all of OTC FX Contracts without awaiting the appointment of a representative for Customer and without demand upon or  notice to any such personal representative;

ii) satisfy any obligation Customer may have to AM(UK), either directly or by way of guaranty of suretyship, out of any of Customer’s funds or property in its custody or control;

iii) sell any or purchase any or all OTC FX Contracts, securities held or carried for Customer; and

B. ANY SALES OR PURCHASES OF COLLATERAL HEREUNDER MAY BE MADE ACCORDING TO AM(UK)’S JUDGMENT AND AT ITS DISCRETION WITH ANY INTERBANK OR OTHER EXCHANGE MARKET WHERE SUCH BUSINESS IS THEN USUALLY TRANSACTED OR AT ANY PUBLIC OR PRIVATE SALE, AT AM(UK)’S OPTION, WITHOUT ADVERTISEMENT. IN LIQUIDATION OF CUSTOMER’S LONG OR SHORT POSITIONS,

AM(UK) may bid and become a purchaser at any such sale, and upon any such sale AM(UK) shall collect, receive, and hold and apply the proceeds as provided herein.

AM(UK)’s failure to act in the above circumstances shall not constitute a waiver of AM(UK)’s right to do so at any time thereafter, nor shall such failure to act impose any liability on AM(UK) nor shall it constitute a defense for Customer to any liability to AM(UK).

18. SETTLEMENT DATE AND ROLLOVERS

With respect to purchases or sales of OTC FX in an Account, Customer agrees to instruct AM(UK) as to the delivery of any un-netted (un-offset) positions.

In the absence of timely instructions from Customer, AM(UK) is authorised, at AM(UK)’s absolute discretion, to deliver, rollover or offset all or any portion of the currency positions for Customer’s Account and at Customer’s risk. Customer’s Account shall be charged, upon the delivery, rollover or offset of a currency position, rollover charges in such amounts as published in AM(UK)’s fee schedule as published from time to time on the AM(UK)’s Website or in such other forms as AM(UK), in its sole discretion, determines.

If instructions, funds or documents are not received, AM(UK) may without notice, either offset Customer’s position or extinguish or novate Customer’s positions into the next settlement time period or make or receive delivery on behalf of Customer upon such terms and by such methods deemed reasonable by AM(UK) in its sole discretion.
