Annex D

Risk disclosure statement

Consideration of AMarkets agreeing to enter into contracts for difference on instruments such as currencies, equities, debt securities, indicies and commodities (“CFDs”) with the Customer, Customer acknowledges, understands­ and agrees that:

1. Trading Is Very Speculative and Risky CFDs is highly speculative and is suitable only for those customers who (a) understand and are willing to assume the economic, legal and other risks in­volved, and (b) are financially able to assume losses significantly in excess of Margin or deposits. CFDs is not an appropriate investment for retirement funds. Customer represents, warrants and agrees that Customer understands these risks; that Customer­ is willing and able, financially and otherwise, to assume the risks of CFDs and that loss of Customer’s entire Account Balance will not change Customer’s­ life style.

2. High Leverage And Low Margin Can Lead To Quick Losses The high leverage and low Margin associated with CFDs. Customers must maintain the Minimum Margin Requirement on their Open Positions at all times. It is the Customer’s responsibility to monitor his/her Account Balance.

AMarkets has the right to liquidate any or all Open Positions whenever the Minimum Margin Re­ quirement is not maintained. Increasing leverage increases risk.

3. Prices, Margin And Valuations Are Set By AMarkets And May Be Different From Prices Reported Elsewhere AMarkets will provide prices to be used in trading, valuation of Customer positions and determination of Margin requirements. Although AMarkets expects that these prices will be reasonably related­ to prices available in the interbank market, prices reported by AMarkets may vary from prices available to banks and other participants in what is known as the interbank market. AMarkets will exercise considerable discretion in setting and collecting Margin. AMarkets is authorized to convert funds in Customer’s Account for Margin into and from such Foreign Currency at a rate of exchange determined by AMarkets in its sole discretion on the basis of then prevailing money market rates.

4. Telephone Orders And Immediate Execution Market Orders executed through the AMarkets Trading Desk are completed when AMarkets says “deal” or “done.” At that point Customer has bought or sold and cannot cancel the Market Order. By placing Market Orders through the AMarkets Trading Desk, Customer agrees to such immediate execution and accepts the risk of this immediate execution feature.

5. Market Recommendations Are Informational, Customer Makes Independent Decisions, And AMarkets Is Not An Adviser Or A Fiduciary To Customer The market recommendations provided by AMarkets do not constitute an offer to buy or sell, or the solicitation of an offer to buy or sell, any CFDs. Each decision by Customer to enter into a CFD or other transaction with AMarkets and each decision whether a CFD or other transaction is appropriate­ or proper for Customer is an independent decision by Customer. AMarkets is not acting as an advisor or serving as a fiduciary to Customer. Customer agrees that AMarkets has no fiduciary duty to Customer and no liability in connection with and is not responsible for any liabilities, claims, damages,­ costs and expenses, including attorneys’ fees, incurred in connection with Customer following AMarkets trading recommendations or taking or not taking any action based upon any recommenda­tion or information provided by AMarkets.

6. Recommendations Are Based On Personal Judgments And Are Not Guaranteed The market recommendations of AMarkets are based solely on the judgment of AMarkets per­ sonnel. These market recommendations may or may not be consistent with the market positions or intentions of AMarkets, its affiliates and employees. The market recommendations of AMarkets are based upon information believed to be reliable, but AMarkets cannot and does not guarantee the accuracy or completeness thereof or represent that following such recommendations will reduce or eliminate the risk inherent in CFDs.

7. There is no Central Market or Clearinghouse Guarantee of Payment Each CFD is a contract directly between AMarkets and the Customer. There is no clearing house and no guarantee by any other party of AMarkets payment obligations to the Customer. Customer­ must look only to AMarkets for performance on all CFD in Customer’s Account and for return of any Margin or Collateral.

8. No Guarantees of Profit There are no guarantees of profit or freedom from loss in CFDs. Customer has received no such guarantees from AMarkets or from any of its representatives­. Customer is aware of the risks inherent in CFDs and is financially able to bear such risks and withstand any losses incurred.

9. Customer May Not Be Able To Close Open Positions Due to market conditions or other circumstances AMarkets may be unable to close out Customer’s position at the level specified by Customer, and Customer agrees AMarkets will bear no liability for failure to do so.

AMarkets normally provides access for CFDs on the website from 21:00 GMT on Sunday to 21:00 GMT on Friday, but AMarkets reserves the right to suspend or modify its trading hours at any time and on such an event will inform clients in advance on a best efforts basis of any changes in its operating hours. OTC CFDs operate 24 hours a day. Following submission of an Order to trade, it is the sole responsibility­ of Customer to remain available for Order and Fill confirmations, and other communications regarding Customer’s AMarkets Account until all open Orders are completed. Thereafter, Customer must monitor Customer’s Account frequently when Customer has Open Positions in the Account.

You will be notified via online account management system once your funds have been received by AMarkets and are available for trading.

4. Margin requirements
Customer shall provide and maintain with AMarkets margin in such amounts and in such form that AMarkets, in it is sole discretion may require. AMarkets does not require Customers to pay the full price of CFDs Customer may buy and sell. Instead, Customer is required to post a small percentage of the full amount which Customer is obligated to pay to AMarkets under the CFD, to secure Customer’s obligations to AMarkets Margin includes Required Margin for Open Positions, which is based on (i) the Opening Margin Requirement; (ii) the Minimum Margin Requirement; (iii) the market value of Open Positions; and (iv) any additional amount as AMarkets, in its sole discretion, believes is prudent to require. Customer must maintain the Minimum Margin Requirement on their Open Positions at all times. AMarkets has the right to liquidate any or all Open Positions when­ ever the Minimum Margin Requirement is not maintained, according to paragraph 5 hereof. Margin requirements are subject to change at any time in AMarket’s sole discretion and without prior notice. No previous margin requirement shall preclude AMarkets from increasing that requirement without prior notice. AMarkets may, in its sole discretion, elect to impose on a disclosed on undis­ closed basis limitations on the maximum number of Open Positions allowed at any time.

5. Liquidation level
Subject to all additional rights of AMarkets under the Customer Agreement, in the event that, in the sole opinion of AMarkets and in accordance with AMarkets’s reasonable best estimate of then prevailing obtainable market Spot Rates, and regardless of whether or not prior Margin Calls have been issued or met, if the Margin Balance should at any time equal or fall below the Minimum Margin Requirement for Customer’s Account in the aggregate, AMarkets will have the right but not the obligation to liquidate any part of or all Open Positions in Customer’s Account. Customers are responsible for placing their own Stop Loss Orders to minimize losses. Any failure by AMarkets to enforce its rights hereunder shall not be deemed a future waiver of such rights by AMarkets.

6. Margin calls
AMarkets does not make margin calls in the ordinary course of business. AMarkets maintains the right to liquidate customer positions as described above. However, AMarkets may from time to time and in its sole discretion, call Customer and request that Customer deposit additional Collateral to secure Customer’s obligations to AMarkets, over and above the balance in Customer’s Account. Any call for additional margin without exercising the rights to liquidate Customer positions shall not be deemed precedent for future calls nor future waiver of such liquidation rights by AMarkets.

7. Withdrawals
To make a withdrawal from a Customer account, it is necessary to submit a withdrawal request through the AMarkets website. The Customer must provide all the required withdrawal information. Upon receipt of the withdrawal request, AMarkets will notify the Customer. Withdrawal requests may take up to two (2) business days to process once received.

The Company reserves the right to increase the withdrawal processing time in case of temporary unavailability of the payment method for technical, legal, operational, force majeure, or other reasons. In such circumstances, the Customer has the right to cancel the withdrawal through the selected payment method and choose an alternative one from the payment options available in the Personal area.

8. Minimum balance requirement
In the event the remaining balance on the trading account falls below $0.01, it will be written off the account.
