MARGIN DISCLOSURE
IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ THIS MARGIN DISCLOSURE PRIOR 10 OPENING A MARGIN ACCOUNT AND
RETAIN A COPY FOR YOUR RECORDS
Deutsche Bank Securities Inc. (DBSI) is furnishing this document to you, the Client, to provide some basic facts about
purchasing securities on margin, and to alert you to the risks involved with trading securities in a margin account. Before
trading in securities in a margin account, please review this Margin Disclosure carefully (which is to be read in
conjunction with the entire Account Agreement). Please call your Client Advisor with any questions or concerns
regarding the use of margin.
When you purchase securities, you may pay for the securities in full or you may borrow part of the purchase price from
DBSI (via a margin loan offered by Pershing). You may also borrow for purposes other than the purchase of securities
based on the value of fully paid securities held in the Account. It you choose to borrow funds from DBSI, you must open
a margin account and sign the attached Margin Agreement along with the Account Agreement. If the securities in your
account decline in value, so does the value of the collateral supporting your loan, and, as a result DBSI can take action,
such as issuing a margin call and/or selling securities or other assets in any of your accounts (as provided in the Margin
Agreement) in order to maintain the required equity in the account.
It is important to fully understand the risks involved in trading securities on margin. These risks include the following:
1.
You can lose more funds than you deposit in the Margin Account. A decline in the value of securities that are
purchased on margin may require you to provide additional funds to DBSI to avoid the forced sale of those
securities or other securities or assets in your account(s).
2. DBSI can force the sate of securities or other assets in your account(s). If the equity in your account falls below
the maintenance margin requirements, or DBSI's higher "house" requirements, DBSI can sell the securities or other
assets in any of your accounts held at DBSI to cover the margin deficiency. You also will be responsible for any
shortfall in the account after such a sale, including costs and interest accrued.
3. DBSI can sell your securities or other assets without contacting you. Some Investors mistakenly believe that a
firm must contact them for a margin call to be valid, and that the firm cannot liquidate securities or other assets in
their accounts to meet the call unless the firm has contacted them first. This is not the case. Generally, DBSI does
attempt to notify its Clients of margin calls, but it is not required to do so. However, even if ()BSI has contacted a
Client and provided a specific date by which the Client can meet a margin call, DBSI can still take necessary steps to
protect its financial interests, including Immediately selling the securities without notice to the Client.
4.
You are not entitled to choose which securities or other assets in your account(s) are liquidated or sold to meet a
margin call. Because the securities are collateral for the margin loan. DBSI has the right to decide which security to
sell in order to protect its interests.
5. DBSI can Increase its "house maintenance margin requirements at any time and is not required to provide you
advance written notice. These changes In firm policy often take effect immediately and may result in the issuance
of a maintenance margin call. Your failure to satisfy the call may cause DBSI to liquidate or sell securities in
your account(s).
6.
You are not entitled to an extension of time on a margin call. While an extension of time to meet margin
requirements may be available to clients under certain conditions, a client does not have a right to the extension.
7.
Short Sales are margin transactions and Involve the risks described above. A short sale means any sale of
securities that you do not own or which are borrowed for your account ("Short Sales"). Because short sales are
margin transactions, such transactions are subject to the same risks and terms and conditions of margin transactions.
8. DBSI and/or Pershing may loan any securities which collateralize your margin loan. Securities held in a margin
account may be lent, to DBSI, to Pershing or to others, and may be pledged, repledged, hypothecated or
rehypothecated by DBSI and/or Pershing, without notice to you. DBSI and/or Pershing may do so without retaining
in its possession or control for delivery a like amount of similar Securities and Other Property and in doing so, are
authorized to retain certain benefits, including interest on your collateral posted for such loans. While your securities
are loaned out you will lose voting rights attendant to such securities. Pershing and/or DBSI may receive
compensation in connection with these transactions. For additional information on rehypothecation, please refer to
the Margin Addendum.

diminish the right of DBSI or Pershing to shorten the time period in which Client must satisfy the call, including an
outstanding call or to demand that a call be satisfied immediately. Client further understands that liquidations may
involve sales of positions in Client's Account(s) that are as great as the full indebtedness owed by Client.
8. Reg T Extensions. Client authorizes DBSI, at its discretion, to request and obtain extensions) of Client's time to
make payment for securities Client purchases, as provided for by Federal Reserve Bank Regulation T.
9.
Short Sales of Securities. Client understands that before executing a Short Sale, ()BSI or Pershing is generally
required to make an affirmative determination as to whether DBSI or Pershing will receive delivery of the securities
from the Client or that the securities can be borrowed by the settlement date. This process is commonly referred to
as "obtaining a locate." If a sufficient quantity of securities is not available from inventory, DBSI or Pershing may,
among other things, contact third-party lenders to ascertain whether they have securities available for lending. If a
sufficient quantity of securities appears borrowable, DBSI or Pershing may proceed to execute the short sale on
Client's behalf. A locate is simply an indication that as of the time the locate is obtained, it appears that securities
will be available for borrowing on the settlement date. A locate is not a guarantee that securities will actually be
available for lending and delivery on the settlement date or that the lender will not thereafter require the return of
the borrowed securities. If the securities are not available for borrowing for any reason by the settlement date, Client
(as the seller) will "fail to deliver" to the purchaser. In that circumstance, a buy-in of the securities that were not
timely delivered will occur on the morning of the third business day after normal settlement date and Client will be
responsible for all losses and costs of the buy-in. See "Mandatory Close-Out of Short Sales- below. Client is
ultimately responsible for the delivery of securities on the settlement date and for the consequences of a failure to
deliver and the timely return of securities borrowed on Client's behalf including any losses incurred by DBSI or
Pershing relating to such short sales. Short positions will be "marked to the market' weekly. If the aggregate value
of all securities sold by Client appreciates, an amount equal to such appreciation will be transferred from Client's
Margin Account to Client's short Account resulting in a debit entry In the Margin Account. If the aggregate value of
all the securities sold short depreciates, an amount equal to such decline will be transferred from the cash account
to the Margin Account resulting in a credit entry in the Margin Account The closing price from the previous
business day is used to determine any appreciation or depreciation in the market value of any security sold short.
Please note, from time to time, DBSI or Pershing may be prohibited from effecting a short sale in accordance with
Applicable Law whether or not a "locate' is obtained.
10. Mandatory Close-Out of Short Sales. Applicable Law generally requires that short sales of equity securities be
closed by no later than the beginning of regular trading hours on the first business day following the settlement date
if delivery of the securities has not occurred. The close-out Is effected by DBSI or Pershing purchasing the securities
for cash or guaranteed delivery of like kind and quantity. The requirement generally applies to undelivered equity
securities that, on the date of the short sate, appeared on the 'restricted list" of FINRA or a national securities
exchange of which O651 or Pershing is a member (i.e. those securities that have a clearing short position of 10,000
shares or more and that are equal to at least 1/2 of 1% of the issue's total shares outstanding) ('Threshold
Securities"). DBSI or Pershing will be required to effect a close-out mandated by Applicable Law whether or not a
"locate' was obtained and whether or not a buy-in notice was issued by a purchaser or securities lender.
11. Tax Treatment of Earnings on Pledged Municipal Securities. Client will consult with a tax adviser prior to
depositing municipal securities to satisfy margin requirements as there may be tax consequences of doing so.
12. Rehypothecation and Tax Treatment of Payments In Lieu of Dividends. The Internal Revenue Code generally
provides that, subject to certain requirements, dividends paid to a U.S. individual shareholder from domestic
corporations and certain foreign corporations are subject to tax at the reduced rates applicable to long-term capital
gains. Payments in lieu of dividends are not eligible for the reduced rate of tax for dividends and are taxed at
ordinary income tax rates. DBSI and Pershing have the right to rehypothecate margined shares in Client's Margin
Account. Accordingly, Client hereby agrees that Client's Account may receive payments in lieu of dividends, which
unlike actual dividends are taxed at ordinary income tax rates. Client further agrees that neither DBSI nor Pershing
shall be responsible to Client for any additional taxes or other costs Client incurs for receipt of such payments in lieu
of dividends. Client also agrees to consult with Client's tax adviser if Client has any questions relating to payments
in lieu of dividends.
13. Additional Risks. The use of margin may enable Client to increase the size of the trades and/or volume of trading in
the account which may result in an increase in the amount of commissions being paid to DBSI or Pershing by Client.
14. Restricted Securities. Client will not post Restricted Securities as collateral for margin transactions without the prior
approval of DBSI.
15. Collection Remedies. DBSI reserves the right to assert any other remedies available under Applicable Law to collect
any and ell amount(s) due to DBSI or Pershing.
16. Receipt of Margin Disclosure. Client hereby acknowledges receipt of the Margin Disclosure and Client
acknowledges Client's understanding of and agreement to the contents thereof.
