II. Account Configuration

Choose a Base Currency for the Account: United States Dollar USD Australian Dollar AUD British Pound GBP Canadian Dollar CAD Euro EUR Hong Kong Dollar HKD Japanese Yen JPY Mexican Peso MXN Swedish Krona SEK New Zealand Dollar NZD Swiss Frank CHF Choose Cash or Margin Account Cash Must have enough cash in the account to cover the cost of the transaction plus commissions. No shorting of stock or futures day trading benefits (50% of regular margin requirement during the day on certain exchanges). Limited purchase and sale of options and trading is only allowed for products denominated in the base currency of the account. Cash from the sale of stocks, options and futures becomes available when the transaction settles (e.g. US stock - 3 days, German stocks- 2 days, US options- 1 day). Portfolio Margin Same as a Reg T margin account (see below) except that margin requirements generally will be lower in a portfolio margin account because margin requirements will be calculated based on a risk based calculation methodology. Customers must maintain account equity of $100,000 in order to utilize a portfolio margin account. Otherwise Reg T margin requirements will apply. Reg T Margin Borrowing to support equities trading, shorting of equities, full options trading, full futures/futures options trading, currency conversions, and securities/commodities trading in multiple currency denominations available. Margin requirements are computed real-time under a rules-based calculation methodology, with immediate position liquidation if the minimum maintenance margin requirement is not met.

III.a ADVISOR FEE ARRANGEMENT Choose o n e of the following advisor fee billing methods:
No Fee No fees are charged by your advisor for managing your account. Direct Billing You advisor bills you directly for fees and you pay your advisor directly (IB does not deduct the fees from your account). Automatic Billing Interactive Brokers calculates Advisor Fees and deducts these fees from your client account automatically and sends them to your advisor as specified. Check all that apply and fill-in the required amounts: Annualized Percentage of Net Liquidation Value applied on a daily basis (enter annual percentage) %
Annualized Flat Fee applied on a daily basis, apportioned by 252 days (enter annual amount)
Percentage of Annual Positive P&L applied as of 12/31(enter annual percentage)
Percentage of Quarterly Positive P&L applied as of March, June, Sept., Dec. (enter quarterly percentage) Per-Trade Unit Advisory Fee. If this method is chosen, you must complete the fee schedule below. Monthly/Quarterly Invoicing Your advisor calculates the Advisor Wrap Fees and removes the fees from your account up to a limit of
per month/
or
per quarter.
III.b FEE PER TRADE UNIT

Please acknowledge the change in fees charged by your advisor and send back to IB at the address above. Any asset class/currency for which a fee per trade unit is not specified will use the IB standard commission schedule as its default, in which case the advisor will not make any fee over and above the fee IB charges the advisor's client to execute and clear trades. A fee per trade unit may be entered as an absolute markup over and above IB's standard commission, as a % of IB's standard commission, or as an absolute amount (IB's standard commission will be subtracted from this amount). Absolute markup is entered in the currency of the asset class. The unit column indicates if the absolute markup gets applied to shares, contracts, or % of notional value and up to three decimal places may be entered. As an example, when you enter "1" Absolute Markup on the USD option line, and if one IB Smart option contract were executed, the client would be charged $2 ($1 is the standard IB commission, and $1 is specified as an absolute markup). The % markup is entered as a percentage without the decimal point. As an example, if you enter "100" percent markup on the EUR stock line, if IB charges 10 EUR for a trade the client will be charged a total of 20 EUR for the trade (10 EUR for IB with a 100% match). The absolute amount requires the input of a minimum for the trade, and then 1 to 3 fees (Fee#1, Fee#2, Fee#3) that are specified by volume breaks (Vol#1, Vol#2). The unit column indicates if the absolute markup gets applied to shares, contracts, or % of notional value and up to three decimal places may be entered. As an example, if you wanted to charge .4% for up to 500 shares, .3% for up to 1,000 shares, and .2% above 1,000 shares with a minimum of 10 GBP (minimums are always entered amounts) for GBP stocks, you would enter: Minimum 10 Fee #1 0.1 Vol #1 500 Fee #2 0.3 Vol #2 1,000 Fee #3 0.2
IB standard UK fees of .1%, and stamp tax of .5% would be subtracted from the absolute fee specified above. Only 1 fee type (i.e. absolute markup, % markup, or absolute amount) may be entered for each asset class/currency. It should be noted that in no case may you enter more than 7 times IB's standard commission. Advisor Fee Cap IB caps the amount of advisor fees earned in any 360 day period to 25% of the client's average equity over this period, with additional cap limits at 30 day increments in-between (i.e. 7.2% over the last 30 days, 17.7% over the last 180 days). When any fee cap is exceeded for a client, the advisor will not receive any client fees until the fee cap is no longer exceeded. IB will continue to charge its standard commissions when the fee cap limit is exceeded. Please be aware that advisors are solely responsible for ensuring that the fees they charge are reasonable and in accordance with regulatory requirements.

A "qualified forum" is an organization whose procedures for conducting arbitration comply with the requirements of CFTC Rules; (3) In any other type of dispute, the arbitration schemes of: (a) The American Arbitration Association; (b) any exchange of which IB UK is a member; or (c) a securities or futures association, as applicable; or (4) In all cases, the FSA's Consumer Arbitration Scheme or any other arbitration forum that IB UK may suggest. Customer may obtain information regarding the FSA's Consumer Arbitration Scheme by requesting such information via an e-mail addressed to the IB Customer Service Department at help@interactivebrokers.com, specifying "Attn: IB UK Compliance Director" in the subject heading.
Futures Trading Arbitration Agreement for Disputes Between Customer and Interactive Brokers LLC
If you trade stocks or stock options in your IB account, you will be covered by a mandatory arbitration agreement, which states that any disputes regarding your account will be resolved through arbitration. The following optional arbitration agreement covers trading in futures or options on futures, in the event that you and your advisor choose to trade these investment products in your account. You are not required to sign the Futures Trading Arbitration Agreement below, but if you do not sign it your account will be restricted to a one contract trading limit. Futures Trading Arbitration Agreement: Any controversy or claim between Interactive Brokers LLC ("IB") and the undersigned ("Customer") arising out of or relating to Customer's Account with IB, to transactions between IB and Customer, to the Customer Agreement with IB or any other agreement between IB and Customer, or to the breach of any such transaction or agreement shall, except as provided below, be resolved by arbitration before a forum chosen in accordance with the procedure set out below. If, by reason of any applicable statute, regulation, exchange rule or otherwise, Customer's advance agreement to submit a controversy to arbitration would not be enforceable by IB, this provision shall not permit Customer to enforce IB's advance agreement to submit to arbitration. Any award rendered in any arbitration conducted pursuant to this agreement shall be final, binding and enforceable in accordance with the laws of the State of Connecticut and judgment may be entered on any such award by any court having jurisdiction thereof. At such time as Customer notifies IB that Customer intends to submit a claim to arbitration, or at such time as IB notifies Customer that IB intends to submit a claim to arbitration, Customer will have the opportunity to choose a forum from a list of three or more qualified forums provided by IB. A "qualified forum" is an organization whose procedures for conducting arbitrations comply with the requirements of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission ("CFTC") Rule 166.5. As required by CFTC Rule 166.5, IB will pay any incremental fees which may be assessed by a qualified forum for provision of a mixed arbitration panel, unless the arbitrators hearing the controversy determine that Customer has acted in bad faith in initiating or conducting the arbitration. A "mixed arbitration panel" is an arbitration panel composed of one or more persons, a majority of whom are not members or associated with a member of a contract market or employee thereof, and who are not otherwise associated with a contract market. In connection with this Arbitration Agreement, IB is required to furnish to you the following statement, pursuant to Rule 166.5 of the CFTC: THREE FORUMS EXIST FOR THE RESOLUTION OF COMMODITY DISPUTES: CIVIL COURT LITIGATION, REPARATIONS AT THE COMMODITY FUTURES TRADING COMMISSION ("CFTC"), AND ARBITRATION CONDUCTED BY A SELF-REGULATORY OR OTHER PRIVATE ORGANIZATION. THE CFTC RECOGNIZES THAT THE OPPORTUNITY TO SETTLE DISPUTES BY ARBITRATION MAY IN SOME CASES PROVIDE MANY BENEFITS TO CUSTOMERS, INCLUDING THE ABILITY TO OBTAIN AN EXPEDITIOUS AND FINAL RESOLUTION OF DISPUTES WITHOUT INCURRING SUBSTANTIAL COSTS. THE CFTC REQUIRES, HOWEVER, THAT EACH CUSTOMER INDIVIDUALLY EXAMINE THE RELATIVE MERITS OF ARBITRATION AND THAT YOUR CONSENT TO THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT BE VOLUNTARY. BY SIGNING THIS AGREEMENT, YOU: (1) MAY BE WAIVING YOUR RIGHT TO SUE IN A COURT OF LAW; AND (2) ARE AGREEING TO BE BOUND BY ARBITRATION OF ANY CLAIMS OR COUNTERCLAIMS WHICH YOU OR IB MAY SUBMIT TO ARBITRATION UNDER THIS AGREEMENT. YOU ARE NOT, HOWEVER, WAIVING YOUR RIGHT TO ELECT INSTEAD TO PETITION THE CFTC TO INSTITUTE REPARATIONS PROCEEDINGS UNDER SECTION 14 OF THE COMMODITY EXCHANGE ACT WITH RESPECT TO ANY DISPUTE WHICH MAY BE ARBITRATED PURSUANT TO THIS AGREEMENT. IN THE EVENT A DISPUTE ARISES, YOU WILL BE NOTIFIED IF IB INTENDS TO SUBMIT THE DISPUTE TO ARBITRATION. IF YOU
Page 23 / 43
BELIEVE A VIOLATION OF THE COMMODITY EXCHANGE ACT IS INVOLVED AND IF YOU PREFER TO REQUEST A SECTION 14 "REPARATIONS" PROCEEDING BEFORE THE CFTC, YOU WILL HAVE 45 DAYS FROM THE DATE OF SUCH NOTICE IN WHICH TO MAKE THAT ELECTION. YOU NEED NOT SIGN THIS AGREEMENT TO OPEN OR MAINTAIN AN ACCOUNT WITH IB. SEE 17 CFR 166.5.

Discretionary Trading Authorization/Power of Attorney for Financial Advisor and Request to Send Trade Confirmations and Account Statements to Advisor
You are appointing a financial advisor ("Advisor"), chosen by you, to manage your Interactive Brokers account. The designated Advisor will be able to execute trades, deposit and withdraw money to and from your account (all withdrawals must be in your name), request information, receive account statements and confirmations, change certain of your customer information, and generally manage your Interactive Brokers account as specified below: General: The terms and conditions of this Authorization are in addition to the provisions of all other agreements between Interactive Brokers LLC, Interactive Brokers (U.K.) Ltd. and Customer or Advisor. The agreements applicable to Customer's account(s) will govern all orders and transactions, and Advisor is bound by all terms of those agreements. Request to Deduct Advisory Fees if Applicable: Customer requests and authorizes IB to deduct from Customer's IB account Advisory Fees and to disburse those Fees directly to the Advisor, based on the fee arrangement that Customer has agreed upon with the Advisor ("Fees") and specified to IB. If the Advisor bills Customer directly for Fees, or if Advisor does not charge Customer a Fee for Advisory services, Customer will specify that to IB. Request to Send Confirmations and Statements to Advisor: Customer requests that IB send all trade confirmations and account statements directly to Advisor and not to Customer directly. If Customer changes this instruction and decides that confirmations and account statements should be sent directly to Customer, Customer agrees to contact IB Customer Service at help@interactivebrokers.com or by calling the toll free Customer Service number listed on IB's website at www.interactivebrokers.com or www.interactivebrokers.co.uk or www.interactivebrokers.ca. Upon Customer's request, IB will provide Customer with a username and password so that Customer may view account statements online at the IB website. Advisor's Authority: This agreement authorizes Interactive Brokers to accept the instructions of the Advisor on behalf of the Customer. This authorization will be applicable to all assets Customer holds in all Interactive Brokers accounts for which Advisor has been designated. Customer hereby authorizes Advisor to inquire in, trade, buy, sell (including short sales), exchange, convert, tender, trade, or otherwise acquire or dispose of stocks, bonds, options securities, futures, security futures, foreign exchange and any other investments, on margin or otherwise, for and at the risk of the Customer. Customer understands that a commission will be charged to the account each time a trade is effected. The Advisor is also permitted to arrange for the deposit of funds and assets to the Customer's account(s) and to redeem or withdraw funds or assets from the Customer's account (including the delivery of securities from the account), for the benefit of the Customer, regardless of the tax consequences. The Advisor may initiate transfers (including inter-broker transfers), rollovers, Roth IRA conversions, IRA recharacterizations or other transfers of assets between and among Customer accounts. Customer authorizes Interactive Brokers, acting on Advisor's instructions, to aggregate transaction orders for Customer's account(s) with orders for one or more other accounts over which Advisor has trading authority. The Advisor is authorized to receive all information regarding the account(s) and to receive account statements, confirmations and tax information. The Advisor is authorized to add, delete or change Customer or account information. Interactive Brokers is authorized, but not required to, conduct further inquiry or seek authorization from the Customer or further clarification from Advisor or Customer regarding any instruction from Advisor for Customer's account(s). Interactive Brokers reserves the right, in it sole discretion, to refuse to honor particular instructions from Advisor, or to no longer honor instructions from Advisor. Customer and Advisor acknowledge that all information provided by either of them on this form, or otherwise provided to Interactive Brokers in the application process, is subject to verification, and Customer and Advisor authorize Interactive Brokers to verify all information through the use of credit agencies or any other customary or reasonable means. Advisor will provide promptly any information reasonably requested by Interactive Brokers concerning the management of the account(s) or compliance with this Authorization. This provision shall not be read to imply that Interactive Brokers has any duty to supervise or monitor Advisor's management of Customer's account(s) or compliance with applicable law. Not a Substitute for Advisory Agreement: Customer and Advisor acknowledge that this Authorization merely authorizes Advisor to conduct certain activities with respect to Customer's account and is not a substitute for an Advisory Agreement and is not designed to satisfy any regulatory obligations applicable to Advisor to enter such agreement. Role of Interactive Brokers - Disclaimer and Waiver of Liability: ADVISOR WAS SELECTED SOLELY BY CUSTOMER AND HAS NOT BEEN RECOMMENDED OR ENDORSED BY IB. ADVISOR IS NOT EMPLOYED BY OR REGISTERED OR ASSOCIATED WITH IB. IB WILL NOT INVESTIGATE OR JUDGE THE COMPETENCE OR INTEGRITY OF THE ADVISOR OR MONITOR THE ACTIONS OF THE ADVISOR. IB WILL NOT REVIEW THE ADVISOR'S RECOMMENDATIONS OR JUDGE THE SUITABILITY OF ANY TRADING OR INVESTMENT RECOMMENDATION OR DECISION OF ADVISOR OR CUSTOMER. IB DOES NOT PROVIDE ADVISORY SERVICES TO IB CUSTOMERS AND WILL NOT PROVIDE INVESTMENT OR TRADING OR TAX ADVICE REGARDING THE ACCOUNT.
Page 24 / 43
Advisor's Compliance with State, Federal or Non-U.S. Law: Advisor will comply with all applicable state and federal securities laws and regulations, including the Investment Advisors Act of 1940, the Commodity Exchange Act and comparable state laws, and will comply with any applicable laws of Non-U.S. jurisdictions (hereinafter "Applicable Laws and Regulations"). Interactive Brokers assumes no responsibility for determining if Advisor is complying with Applicable Laws and Regulations regarding its provision of advisory services. CUSTOMER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IB IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR DETERMINING WHETHER ADVISOR IS REQUIRED TO BE REGISTERED OR LICENSED OR WHETHER ADVISOR IS EXEMPT FROM REGISTRATION OR LICENSING. THIS IS SOLELY THE RESPONSIBILITY OF ADVISOR. IF CUSTOMER HAS QUESTIONS ABOUT THIS, CUSTOMER MUST CONTACT ADVISOR FOR FURTHER INFORMATION. Termination: Customer and/or Advisor agree(s) to notify Interactive Brokers immediately, in writing, if Customer or Advisor terminates, modifies or revokes this Authorization. Advisor agrees to notify Interactive Brokers immediately, in writing, if Customer dies or becomes incapacitated such that this Authorization would be rendered void. This Authorization shall remain in effect until Interactive Brokers receives written notice of its termination and has had sufficient time to process such notice and terminate Advisor's authority. Indemnification of Interactive Brokers by Customer: Customer agrees to indemnify and hold Interactive Brokers, and its affiliates, and its and their successors and assigns, and its and their directors, officers, employees and Advisors harmless from and against all claims, actions, costs and liabilities, including attorney's fees, arising out of or relating to their reliance on this Authorization or their execution of any of Advisor's instructions. Customer agrees that since Interactive Brokers will not supervise or monitor Advisor's trading decisions or other activities, Customer will not attempt to hold Interactive Brokers liable for any trade or decision or action of Advisor. Interactive Brokers'srights under this paragraph are in addition to any other rights it has under other agreements with Customer and/or Advisor. Indemnification of Interactive Brokers by Advisor: Advisor agrees to indemnify and hold Interactive Brokers, and its affiliates, and its and their successors and assigns, and its and their directors, officers, employees and Advisors harmless from and against all claims, actions, costs and liabilities, including attorney's fees, arising out of or relating to any breach by Advisor of any provision of this Agreement or other Agreements with Interactive Brokers and/or Customer; the performance or non-performance of the Advisor's services; any trade or action of Advisor in Customer's account(s); and any dispute involving Advisor and Customer. Interactive Brokers's rights under this paragraph are in addition to any other rights it has under other agreements with Customer and/or Advisor. Customer's Representations and Acknowledgments: A.
