The Client Agreement continues for the benefit of Macquarie Equities in respect of any rights and obligations accruing before the Effective Date and, to the extent that any law or provision of any agreement makes the novation not binding or effective on the Effective Date, then the Client Agreement will continue for the benefit of Macquarie Equities until such time as the novation is effective, and Macquarie Equities will hold the benefit of the Client Agreement on trust for the new Participant. Nothing in this clause 19 will prevent the completion and registration of option contracts by Macquarie Equities where the obligation to complete those transactions arises before the Effective Date and the Client Agreement will continue to apply to the completion of those contracts, notwithstanding the novation of the Client Agreement to the new Participant under this clause

15 First schedule Risk Disclosure Statement for derivatives traded on ASX markets This Risk Disclosure Statement must be signed by all investors who are specified as Retail Clients by Macquarie Equities. ASX operates a market in Exchange Traded Options (ETOs). In this Risk Disclosure Statement, these products are referred to as ASX Derivative Products. This document does not disclose all aspects of risk associated with the trading of ASX Derivative Products. Trading in derivatives is not suitable for some retail investors. In light of the risks associated with trading ASX Derivative Products, you should invest in them only if you understand the nature of the products (specifically your rights and obligations) and the extent of your exposure to risk. Before you invest, you should carefully assess your experience, investment objectives, financial resources and all other relevant considerations and discuss these with your broker. You should not rely on this Risk Disclosure Statement as a complete explanation of the risks of investing in ASX Derivative Products. Macquarie Equities also recommends that you carefully read the Significant Risks section of the Product Disclosure Statement issued by them entitled Exchange Traded Options for additional information regarding risks associated with these products. Effect of leverage or gearing Transactions in all ASX Derivative Products carry a degree of risk. The initial outlay of capital may be small relative to the total contract value so that transactions are leveraged or geared. A relatively small market movement may have a proportionately larger impact on the value of the contract. This may work against you as well as for you. You may sustain a total loss of margin funds deposited with your broker in relation to our 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 position, or upon settlement of contracts. If you fail to comply with a request from your broker for additional funds within the time prescribed, your broker may close out your position and you will be liable to your broker for any loss that might result. Specifi c product risks Exchange Traded Options (ETOs) (Options) Exchange Traded Options (ETOs) are Options over underlying securities or an underlying index. Purchasers of options (also known as takers ) and sellers of options (also known as writers ) should be familiar with the mechanics of the two different types of options, call and put options, and the nature and extent of the risks, the rights and obligations associated with each. The value of an Option will depend on a range of factors, such as the exercise price, the price of the underlying shares or the level of the underlying index, the volatility of the underlying shares or the underlying index the time remaining to the expiry date, interest rates, dividends and other factors and general risks applicable to markets. The purchaser of an Option, whether it is a call option or a put option, has a known and limited potential loss. If a purchased option expires worthless, the purchaser will lose the total value paid for the option (known as the premium), plus transaction costs. Selling ( writing ) options may entail considerably greater risk than purchasing Options. The premium received by the seller of an Option is fixed and limited, however, the seller may incur losses greater than that amount. For more information on Options, you should talk with your adviser and read the ASX publication, Understanding Options Trading available from your adviser. 13

16 Risks relevant to all derivative products Risk-Reducing Orders or Strategies The placing of certain orders (for example stop-loss orders) which are intended to limit losses to certain amounts may not be effective because market conditions may make it impossible to execute such orders. Strategies using combinations of positions, such as spread and straddle positions may be as risky as taking simple long or short positions. Terms and Conditions of Contracts You should ask your adviser about the terms and conditions of all ASX Derivative Products contracts in which you are considering investing. Under certain circumstances the specifications of outstanding contracts may be modified by ASX or by Australian Clearing House (ACH). Suspension or Restriction of Trading and Pricing Relationships Market conditions (for example, illiquidity) or actions by ASX or ACH (for example, the suspension of trading in an ASX Derivative Product) may increase the risk of loss by making it difficult or impossible to effect transactions or close out existing positions. Normal pricing relationships may not exist in certain circumstances, for example, in periods of high buying or selling pressure, high market volatility or illiquidity in the market for a particular ASX Derivative Product. ASX and ACH have broad powers under the Rules to take action in the interests of maintaining fair and orderly markets and, in some circumstances, this may affect your positions. Margins, Cash and Property Your adviser may be required to pay margins or provide property as collateral to ACH in connection with their dealings in ASX Derivatives Products for you. Under your client agreement with your adviser, your adviser will require you to provide them with money or some form of security to enable them to manage the risks associated with their dealings in ASX Derivatives Products for you. You should familiarise yourself with the protections for money or other property you deposit for transactions, particularly in the event of a adviser s insolvency or bankruptcy. The extent to which you may recover money or property which you provide to your adviser is governed by the Corporations Act and other legislation and rules. In certain circumstances you may have a claim against the National Guarantee Fund. Commission and Other Charges Before you give instructions to your adviser to deal in any ASX Derivative Product, you should obtain a clear explanation of all commissions, fees and other charges for which you may be liable. Trading Facilities As with all trading facilities and systems, the systems used in the market are vulnerable to temporary disruption or failure which may result in your order not being executed according to your instructions or not executed at all. Your ability to recover certain losses may be subject to limits on liability imposed by the system provider, ASX, ACH or your adviser. 14

17 Second schedule Warrant statement The Client has received and read a copy of the Explanatory Booklet issued by the Australian Securities Exchange Limited (ASX) in respect of Warrants. The Client understands that neither ASX nor Australian Clearing House Pty Limited have an involvement whatsoever with Warrants. The Client is aware that a Warrant has a limited life and cannot be traded after its expiry date. The Client is aware that Warrants do not have standardised Terms of Issue and acknowledge that it is the Client s responsibility to become aware of the Terms of Issue of any Warrant in which it chooses to invest. The Client is aware that Warrants may be subject to adjustments after their initial issue. The Client acknowledges that it is the Client s responsibility to become aware of any adjustments which may have been made to any warrant in which it chooses to invest. The Client is aware that admission to Trading Status of a Warrant does not imply that ASX or the Securities Exchanges Guarantee Corporation Limited gives any guarantee or warranty as to the viability of the Warrant Issuer or Guarantor. The Client acknowledges that failure of the Warrant Issuer or the Guarantor (if applicable) to fulfill their obligations does not give rise to a claim against ASX, handling Market Participants or the Securities Exchanges Guarantee Corporation Limited. 15
