Appendix 3 U.S. BROKER-DEALER, U.S. FUTURES COMMISSION MERCHANT, or U.S. BANK: This Appendix describes the Re-use Risks and Consequences that may arise under Collateral Arrangements with a bank chartered under U.S. federal or state law, a U.S. branch or agency office of a non-U.S. bank (any such bank, branch, or agency office, a "U.S. banking organization"), a U.S. entity that is registered as a broker-dealer with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("broker- dealer), or a U.S. entity that is registered as a futures commission merchant with the Commodity Futures Trading Commission ("FCM'). A single U.S. entity can operate, and be regulated, as both a broker-dealer and an FCM, but it remains subject to separate regulatory requirements with respect to its separate activities. U.S. law draws a distinction between financial instruments delivered to a broker-dealer or FCM and treated as customer assets ("Customer Assets"), financial instruments held by a U.S. banking organization in a trust or custodial capacity ("Custodial Assets"), and financial instruments delivered or pledged to a U.S. banking organization, broker-dealer, or FCM in a principal (non-customer) capacity ("Non-Customer Assets"). Customer Assets held by a broker-dealer or FCM are subject to mandatory segregation requirements under the rules of the SEC and CFTC, respectively, and special-purpose insolvency regimes under which segregated assets, i.e., Customer Assets and cash required to be held in segregated accounts, are distributed to customers. Custodial Assets held by a U.S. banking organization are generally segregated on an account- or customer-specific basis, while in some circumstances broker-dealers and FCMs are permitted to segregate Customer Assets on an omnibus basis for all customers. Financial instruments held in a securities account at a broker-dealer or delivered to an FCM as margin (or "performance bond") for a cleared derivative generally constitute Customer Assets. On the other hand, securities delivered to us under a repurchase or securities lending agreement generally do not constitute Customer Assets. If, with respect to Customer Assets received by us as a broker-dealer, you separately agree to lend financial instruments to us under a securities lending agreement, or agree to sell financial instruments to us under a repurchase agreement, then the financial instruments are removed from your account and are no longer eligible for customer protection. Any financial instruments delivered to us under such transactions are Non-Customer Assets. If you are uncertain whether a financial instrument pledged or delivered to us is a Customer Asset, please obtain legal advice. With respect to Customer Assets received by us as an FCM in connection with your CFTC-regulated transactions, we generally cannot use such Customer Assets other than to margin, guarantee or secure those transactions. That is, we may transfer such assets to segregated or secured accounts established by us with banks, clearing houses and clearing brokers, which acknowledge, via rules or written agreements, that such Customer Assets are the property of the FCM's customers and can be utilized solely to margin, guarantee or secure customer transactions. In addition, an FCM may, pursuant to repurchase agreements, substitute such segregated Customer Assets, subject to very strict CFTC regulations, including the requirement that such substitution is made on a "delivery versus delivery" basis, and the market value of the substituted securities is at least equal to that of the Customer Assets being substituted. To the extent segregated assets were found to be insufficient to satisfy customer claims in full, customers would continue to have a claim against the proprietary assets of the FCM. With respect to Customer Assets received by us as a broker-dealer in connection with your SEC- regulated transactions, we generally can use such Customer Assets only with your consent and subject to regulatory usage limits that are imposed both at the account level (by reference to the amount of your obligations to us) and across all customers (by reference to the amount of all customer obligations to us). The SEC requires that broker-dealers perform a daily valuation of Customer Assets (including related customer obligations) and maintain in segregation either Customer Assets or cash or other high-grade assets such that the value of segregated assets will at all times exceed the value of all Customer Assets net of customer obligations to the broker-dealer. Further, to the extent segregated assets were to be Copyright © 2016 by the International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc.. the Association for Financial Markets in Europe. the Futures Industry Association.
