("▇▇▇▇") of one or more accounts of the undersigned ("Customer") (if more than one account is at any time opened or reopened with ▇▇▇▇, all are covered by this Agreement and are referred to individually and collectively as the "Account"), and ▇▇▇▇'▇ agreement to act as broker, directly or indirectly, or as dealer, for the execution, clearance and/or carrying of transactions for the purchase and sale of commodity interests, including commodities, spot and forward contracts, commodity futures contracts, options on commodity futures contracts, security futures product contracts, and transactions involving the exchange of futures for cash commodities or the exchange of futures in connection with cash commodity transactions, ▇▇▇▇ and Customer agree as follows:

1	APPLICABLE RULES AND REGULATIONS

The Account and each transaction therein shall be subject to the terms of this Agreement and to (a) all applicable laws and the regulations, rules and orders (collectively "regulations") of all regulatory and self-regulatory organizations having jurisdiction and (b) the constitution, by-laws, rules, regulations, orders, resolutions, interpretations and customs and usages (collectively "rules") of the market and any associated clearing organization or clearing house (each an "exchange") on or subject to the rules of which such transaction is executed and/or cleared. The reference in the preceding sentence to exchange rules is solely for ▇▇▇▇'▇ protection and ▇▇▇▇'▇ failure to comply therewith shall not constitute a breach of this Agreement or relieve Customer of any obligation or responsibility under this Agreement. ▇▇▇▇ shall not be liable to Customer as a result of any action or omission by ▇▇▇▇, its officers, directors, employees or agents to comply with any exchange rule.

2	PAYMENTS TO ▇▇▇▇

Customer agrees to pay to ▇▇▇▇ immediately on request (a) commissions, give-up charges, fees and service charges as are in effect from time to time for the Customer, together with all applicable regulatory and self-regulatory organization and exchange fees, charges, including all such fees, charges or costs assessed against ▇▇▇▇ with respect to any equity securities of Customer deposited for margin obligations, and taxes; (b) the amount of any debit balance or any other liability that may result from transactions executed for the Account; and (c) interest on such debit balance or liability at the prevailing rate charged by ▇▇▇▇ at the time such debit balance or liability arises and service charges on any such debit balance or liability together with any reasonable attorneys' fees and costs incurred in collecting any such debit balance or liability. Customer understands that most of the payment obligations enumerated in subsection (a) above are automatically charged against its Account after each transaction. Customer acknowledges that ▇▇▇▇ may charge commissions at other rates to other customers.

3	CUSTOMER'S DUTY TO MAINTAIN ADEQUATE MARGIN

Customer shall at all times maintain adequate margin (also known as "performance bond") in the Account so as continually to meet the original and maintenance margin requirements established by ▇▇▇▇ for Customer. ▇▇▇▇ may change such requirements from time to time at ▇▇▇▇'▇ discretion upon notice to Customer. Such margin requirements may exceed the margin requirements set. by any exchange or other regulatory authority and may vary from ▇▇▇▇'▇ requirements for other customers.

Customer agrees, when so requested, orally or by written notice, on the business day it is received, unless sooner required by ▇▇▇▇ for an intraday requirement, to wire transfer (by the Fed wire system to the account of ▇▇▇▇) margin funds, and to furnish ▇▇▇▇ with names of bank officers for immediate verification of such transfers. Customer acknowledges and agrees that ▇▇▇▇ may receive and retain as its own any interest, increment, profit, gain or benefit, directly or indirectly accruing from any of the funds ▇▇▇▇ receives from Customer.

4.	DELIVERY; OPTION EXERCISE, ASSIGNMENT AND EXPIRATION

Delivery. If Customer desires to make or take delivery under a commodity interest contract, Customer agrees to give ▇▇▇▇ timely notice of such intent, for open positions maturing in a current delivery month according to applicable rule and regulations of the exchange or clearing house and ▇▇▇▇'▇ instructions. Sufficient funds to take delivery or the necessary delivery documents must be delivered by Customer to ▇▇▇▇ according to ▇▇▇▇'▇ instructions. If funds, documents or Customer's intentions with respect to delivery are not received, ▇▇▇▇ may, without notice, either liquidate Customer's position or make or receive delivery on behalf of Customer upon such terms and by such methods as ▇▇▇▇ reasonably determines. Customer understands that ▇▇▇▇ may, upon prior notice to Customer, establish cut-off times for timely notification that may be earlier than the times established by the applicable rules and regulations of the exchanges or clearing houses to ensure that ▇▇▇▇ complies with such rules and regulations. If Customer desires to make or take delivery of a security futures product, Customer agrees to open a securities account pursuant to ▇▇▇▇'▇ Securities and Options Account Agreement to effect such delivery.

If, at any time, Customer fails to deliver to ▇▇▇▇ any property previously sold by ▇▇▇▇ on Customer's behalf in compliance with commodity interest contracts, or ▇▇▇▇ shall deem it necessary (whether by reason of the requirements of any exchange, clearing house or otherwise) to replace any securities, commodity interest contracts, financial instruments, or other property previously delivered by ▇▇▇▇ for the Account of Customer with other property of like or equivalent kind or amount, Customer hereby authorizes ▇▇▇▇ to borrow or to buy any property necessary to make delivery thereof, or to replace any such property previously delivered, or to deliver the same to such other party or to whom delivery is to be made. ▇▇▇▇ may subsequently repay any borrowing or purchase thereof with property purchased or otherwise acquired for the Account of Customer. Customer shall pay ▇▇▇▇ for any actual costs, losses and damages from the foregoing, including, but not limited to, consequential damages, penalties and fines that ▇▇▇▇ may incur or that ▇▇▇▇ may sustain from its inability to borrow or buy any such property.

Option Exercise, Assignment and Expiration. Customer agrees to give ▇▇▇▇ timely notice if Customer intends to exercise or abandon an option contract according to the rules and regulations of the exchanges or clearing houses. Customer understands that most exchanges and clearing houses have established cut-off times for the tender of exercise or abandonment instructions, and that an option will become worthless if instructions are not delivered before such expiration time. Customer also understands that certain exchanges and clearing houses will automatically exercise some "in-the-money" options unless instructed otherwise. Customer acknowledges full responsibility for taking action either to exercise or to prevent the exercise of an option contract, as the case may be, and ▇▇▇▇ is not required to take any action with respect, to an option contract, including without limitation any action to exercise an option prior to its expiration date, or to prevent the automatic exercise of an option, except upon Customer's express instructions. Customer further understands that ▇▇▇▇ may, upon prior notice to Customer, establish exercise instruction cut-off times that may be earlier than the times established by the applicable rules and regulations of the exchanges and clearing houses to ensure that ▇▇▇▇ complies with such rules and regulations.

Customer understands that (a) all short option positions are subject to assignment at any time, including positions established on the same day that exercises are assigned, and (b) exercised assignment notices are allocated in a manner that has been approved by the applicable exchanger clearing house from among all ▇▇▇▇ customers' short options positions that are subject to assignment.

5	FOREIGN CURRENCY

If ▇▇▇▇ enters into any transaction for Customer effected in a currency other than U.S. dollars: (a) any profit or loss caused by changes in the rate of exchange for such currency shall be for Customer's Account and risk and (b) unless another currency is designated in ▇▇▇▇'▇ confirmation of such transaction, all margin for such transaction and the profit or loss on the liquidation of such transaction shall be in U.S. dollars at a rate of exchange determined by ▇▇▇▇ on the basis of then prevailing market rates of exchange for such foreign currency.

6	▇▇▇▇ MAY LIMIT POSITIONS HELD

Customer agrees that ▇▇▇▇, upon notice to Customer, may limit the number of open positions (net or gross) that Customer may execute, clear and/or carry with or acquire through it. Customer agrees (a) not to make any trade that would have the effect of exceeding such limits, (b) that ▇▇▇▇ may require Customer to reduce open positions carried with ▇▇▇▇ and (c) that ▇▇▇▇ may refuse to accept orders to establish new positions. ▇▇▇▇ may impose and enforce such limits, reduction or refusal whether or not they are required by applicable law, regulations or rules. Customer shall comply with all position limits established by any regulatory or self-regulatory organization or any exchange. In addition, Customer agrees to notify ▇▇▇▇ promptly if Customer is required to file position reports with any regulatory or self-regulatory organization or with any exchange.

7	NO WARRANTY AS TO INFORMATION OR RECOMMENDATION

To make such election, Customer must sign the Arbitration Agreement set forth in Section 26. Notwithstanding such election, any question relating to whether Customer or ▇▇▇▇ has commenced an arbitration proceeding in a timely manner, whether a dispute is within the scope of the Arbitration Agreement or whether a party (other than Customer or ▇▇▇▇) has consented to arbitration and all proceedings to compel arbitration shall be determined by a court as specified in Section 25(a)(ii).

26	ARBITRATION AGREEMENT (OPTIONAL)

Every dispute between Customer and ▇▇▇▇ arising out of or relating to the making or performance of this Agreement or any transaction pursuant to this Agreement, shall be settled by arbitration in accordance with the rules, then in effect, of the National Futures Association, the contract market upon which the transaction giving rise to the claim was executed, or the National Association of Securities Dealers as Customer may elect. If Customer does not make such election by registered mail addressed to ▇▇▇▇ at ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, Attention: Legal Department, within 45 days after demand by ▇▇▇▇ that the Customer make such election, then ▇▇▇▇ may make such election. ▇▇▇▇ agrees to pay any incremental fees which may be assessed by a qualified forum for making available a "mixed panel" of arbitrators, unless the arbitrators determine that Customer has acted in bad faith in initiating or conducting the proceedings. Judgment upon any award rendered by the arbitrators may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof.

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 ▇▇▇ IN A COURT OF LAW AND (2) ARE AGREEING TO BE BOUND BY ARBITRATION OF ANY CLAIMS OR COUNTERCLAIMS WHICH YOU OR ▇▇▇▇ MAY SUBMIT TO ARBITRATION UNDERTHIS 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 ▇▇▇▇ INTENDS TO SUBMIT THE DISPUTE TO ARBITRATION. IF YOU BELIEVE A VIOLATION OF THE COMMODITY EXCHANGE ACT IS INVOLVED AND IF YOU PREFER TO REQUEST A SECTION 14 "REPARATIONS" PROCEEDINGS BEFORE THE CFTC, YOU WILL HAVE 45 DAYS FROM THE DATE OF SUCH NOTICE IN WHICH TO MAKE THAT ELECTION.

YOU NEED NOT AGREE TO THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT TO OPEN AN ACCOUNT WITH ▇▇▇▇.

See 17 CFR 166.5.

Acceptance of this arbitration agreement requires a separate signature on page 14.

27	CONSENT TO TAKE THE OTHER SIDE OF ORDERS (OPTIONAL)

28	AUTHORIZATION TO TRANSFER FUNDS (OPTIONAL)

Without limiting other provisions herein, ▇▇▇▇ is authorized to transfer from any segregated account subject to the Commodity Exchange Act carried by ▇▇▇▇ for the Customer to any other account carried by ▇▇▇▇ for the Customer such amount of excess funds as in ▇▇▇▇'▇ judgment may be necessary at any time to avoid a margin call or to reduce a debit balance in said account. It is understood that ▇▇▇▇ will confirm in writing each such transfer of funds made pursuant to this authorization within a reasonable time after such transfer.

29	ELECTRONIC TRANSMISSION OF STATEMENTS (OPTIONAL)

Customer elects and consents to receive statements of transactions and statements of account solely by electronic means, including without limitation, by electronic mail or facsimile. Customer shall not incur any costs or fees in connection with the receipt of such statements by electronic transmission.

There are minimum computer hardware and software requirements necessary to enable the Customer to receive and view electronic documents, and the Customer will maintain those requirements or will notify ▇▇▇▇ promptly of the inability to view electronic documents. The Customer has, and will maintain, a valid and current e-mail address. The Customer will promptly notify ▇▇▇▇ of any change in the e-mail address.

30.	SUBORDINATION AGREEMENT

(Applies only to Accounts with funds held in foreign currencies)

Funds of customers trading on United States contract markets may be held in accounts denominated in a foreign currency with depositories located outside or inside the United States or its territories if the customer is domiciled in a foreign country or if the funds are held in connection with contracts priced and settled in a foreign currency. Such accounts are subject to the risk that events could occur which hinder or prevent the availability of these funds for distribution to customers. Such accounts also may be subject to foreign currency exchange rate risks.

If authorized below, Customer authorizes the deposit of funds into such depositories. For customers domiciled in the United States, this authorization permits the holding of funds in regulated accounts only if such funds are used to margin, guarantee, or secure positions in such contracts or accrue as a result of such positions. In order to avoid the possible dilution of other customer funds, a customer agrees by accepting this subordination agreement that his claims based on such funds will be subordinated as described below in the unlikely event both of the following conditions are met: (1) ▇▇▇▇ is placed in receivership or bankruptcy, and (2) there are insufficient funds available for distribution denominated in the foreign currency as to which the customer has a claim to satisfy all claims against those funds.

By initialing the Subordination Agreement below, Customer agrees that if both of the conditions listed above occur, its claim against ▇▇▇▇'▇ assets attributable to funds held overseas in a particular foreign currency may be satisfied out of segregated customer funds held in accounts denominated in dollars or other foreign currencies only after each customer whose funds are held in dollars or in such other foreign currencies receives its pro-rata portion of such funds. It is further agreed that in no event may a customer whose funds are so held receive more than its pro-rata share of the aggregate pool consisting of funds held in dollars, funds held in the particular foreign currency, and non-segregated assets of ▇▇▇▇.

OPTIONAL ELECTIONS/ACKNOWLEDGMENT

The following provisions, which are set forth in this Agreement, need not be entered into to open the Account. Customer agrees that its optional elections are as follows:

LIFFE ANNEX

SECURITY FUTURES PRODUCT REGULATORY PROTECTIONS AND ACCOUNT ELECTIONS

This disclosure document is furnished to a customer that desires to engage in the trading of securities futures products pursuant to §41.41(b) of the Commodity Exchange Act and §240.15c3-3(o) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

Set forth below are descriptions of protections provided by the requirements set forth (i) under the Securities Exchange Act Rule 15c3-3 and the Securities Investor Protection Act of 1970 applicable to a securities account and (ii) under Section 4d of the Commodity Exchange Act applicable to a futures account.

A. Protections for Securities Accounts. Positions in security futures products carried in a securities account are covered by SEC rules governing the safeguarding of customer funds and securities, which are Section 15(c)(3) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 1 5c3-3 thereunder. ▇▇▇▇ Futures Inc. ("▇▇▇▇ Futures") is required to follow these rules as a broker/dealer. These rules prohibit a broker/dealer from using customer funds and securities to finance its business. As a result, the broker/dealer is required to set aside funds equal to the net of all its excess payables to customers over receivables from customers. The rules also require a broker/dealer to segregate all customer fully paid and excess margin securities carried by the broker/dealer for customers.

The Securities Investor Protection Corporation ("SIPC") also covers positions held in securities accounts. SIPC was created in 1970 as a non-profit, non-government, membership corporation, funded by member broker/dealers. Its primary role is to return funds and securities to customers if the broker/dealer holding these assets becomes insolvent. SIPC coverage applies to customers of current (and in some cases former) SIPC members. Most broker/dealers registered with the SEC are SIPC members; those few that are not must disclose this fact to their customers. SIPC members must display an official sign showing their membership. ▇▇▇▇ Futures is a member of SIPC.

SIPC coverage is limited to $500,000 per customer, including up to $100,000 for cash. For example, if a customer has 1,000 shares of XYZ stock valued at $200,000 and $10,000 cash in the account, both the security and the cash balance would be protected. However, if the customer has shares of stock valued at $500,000 and $100,000 in cash, only a total of $500,000 of those assets will be protected.

For purposes of SIPC coverage, customers are persons who have securities or cash on deposit with a SIPC member for the purpose of, or as a result of, securities transactions. SIPC does not protect customer funds placed with a broker/dealer just to earn interest. Insiders of the broker/dealer, such as its owners, officers, and partners, are not customers for purposes of SIPC coverage.

B. Protections for Futures Accounts. Protections for Futures Accounts. If positions in security futures products are carried in a futures account, they must, be segregated from a futures commission merchants' ("FCMs") or brokerage firm's own funds and cannot, be borrowed or otherwise used for the firm's own purposes according to Section 4d of the Commodity Exchange Act and the rules thereunder. ▇▇▇▇ Futures is a registered FCM and is required to follow these rules. If the funds are deposited with another entity (e.g., a bank, clearing broker, or clearing organization), that entity must acknowledge that the funds belong to customers and cannot, be used to satisfy the FCM's debts. Moreover, although a brokerage firm may carry funds belonging to different customers in the same bank or clearing account, it may not use the funds of one customer to margin or guarantee the transactions of another customer. As a result, the brokerage firm must add its own funds to its customers' segregated funds to cover customer debits and deficits. Brokerage firms must calculate their segregation requirements daily.

A customer may not be able to recover the full amount of any funds in its account if, in the unlikely event, ▇▇▇▇ Futures becomes insolvent and has insufficient funds to cover its obligations to all of its customers. However, customers with funds in segregation receive priority in bankruptcy proceedings. Furthermore, all customers whose funds are required to be segregated have the same priority in bankruptcy, and there is no ceiling on the amount of funds that must be segregated for or can be recovered by a particular customer.

Please be aware that a futures account, including any contracts that may be defined as security futures products that are maintained in that account, is not provided with any protections under the Securities Investor Protection Act of 1 970.

▇▇▇▇ Futures is also required to separately maintain funds invested in security futures contracts traded on a foreign exchange (foreign security futures contract). However, these funds may not receive the same protections once they are transferred to a foreign entity (e.g., a foreign broker, exchange or clearing organization) to satisfy margin requirements for those products.

2	Customer may choose or elect, to hold its positions in and margin for security futures products ("SFPs") in either a securities account or futures account established and maintained by ▇▇▇▇ Futures.

3	Customer's election of account type for positions in and related margin for SFPs shall be made by completing the Account Election Form attached and returning it to ▇▇▇▇ Futures.

4	Customer may not change an election of account type after trading has commenced in SFPs.

The regulatory protections afforded a customer in connection with trading in security futures products differ depending on whether the positions are carried in a securities account or a futures account. If positions are carried in a securities account, Customer will not receive the protections available for futures accounts. Similarly, if positions are carried in a futures account, Customer will not receive the protections available for securities accounts.

Futures Account Election

r	Customer elects to hold positions in and related margin for securities futures products in a futures account established by ▇▇▇▇ Futures pursuant to ▇▇▇▇ Futures' Futures Account Agreement.

(Please note if you elect to trade security futures products in a futures account, you must also complete account paperwork to open a securities account in the event that you take delivery on a security futures product.)

Securities Account Election

r	Customer elects to hold positions in and related margin for securities futures products in a securities account established by ▇▇▇▇ Futures pursuant to ▇▇▇▇ Futures' Securities & Options Account Agreement.

(Please note if you elect to trade security futures products in a securities account, you must also complete account paperwork to open a securities account)
