Under Rule 15c3-3 of the Exchange Act (“Rule 15c3-3”), Pershing is required to obtain and, thereafter, to maintain possession or control of Client fully-paid securities and excess margin securities, as such terms are defined in that rule. If Pershing determines that it does not have received notice thereofsufficient securities under its possession or control as required (such a condition is referred to as a segregation deficiency), it is required by Rule 15c3-3 to take certain steps to obtain possession or control within that certain period of time set forth in the rule, including, without limitation, by recalling securities from loans. To the extent that Pershing has a segregation deficiency in shares over a record date for a vote, dividend or other corporate action or distribution, Pershing will allocate such deficiency to either (a) the customer(s) to whom such a deficiency is attributed (if any); or (b) if the deficiency cannot practically be attributed to any particular customer, Pershing will allocate such deficiency to its customers using a random impartial lottery. Client understands and agrees that Pershing may change its allocation method at any time. The Clients to whom such deficiency is allocated will be unable to vote or give consent in respect of such corporate action.
