2.      DEALS

In order to complete a Deal using EquityFX, you will have to accept the Trade by clicking the Book Deal button in the EquityFX online site or confirming over the phone. Once you click the Book Deal button or confirmed over the phone, you will have accepted the Deal and the Deal will have been entered into and will be your binding obligation.

You will be responsible for each Deal that is entered into, whether or not it was entered into with your authorization, including any Deal that is entered into by any person who uses a Password without your proper authorization, and any Deal that is entered into by any unauthorized person through a computer which EquityFX Online has been accessed is left unattended. However, you will not be responsible for any unauthorized Deal that is entered into after you have given EquityFX written notice by mail, courier or fax (in the manner described below) to terminate use of Password that was used to enter into the Deal in question.

If for any reason you wish to cancel a Deal that has been entered into, you must notify EquityFX immediately by calling the Customer Support Number. In certain circumstances, EquityFX may have the ability to cancel the Deal, and EquityFX will use its reasonable best efforts to cancel the Deal. However, you understand that once the Deal has been entered into, the Deal is your binding obligation and that the cancellation of any such Deal will be entirely within the sole and absolute discretion of EquityFX. In addition, for any Deal that is cancelled by EquityFX, you must reimburse EquityFX for any breakage costs and other expenses that may have been incurred by EquityFX to cancel the Deal.

The terms of each Deal will be set out in the Deal confirmation presented to you on the Deal Confirmation Screen following your acceptance of the Deal. The Deal confirmation is evidence of the terms of a completed Deal. The Deal will not be invalidated if for any reason the Deal confirmation is not presented to you by EquityFX , including as a result of any computer malfunction. If for any reason the Deal confirmation is not presented to you, the records of EquityFX with respect to that Deal will constitute conclusive evidence of the terms of the Deal. If a Deal confirmation is not presented to you for any reason, you should notify EquityFX immediately by calling the Customer Support Number, and EquityFX will provide you with a confirmation setting out the terms of the Deal.

The terms of each Deal set out in the related Deal confirmation are incorporated into this Agreement and form a part of this Agreement. This Agreement and the terms of each Deal together form the agreement between you and EquityFX and together constitute a single agreement between you and EquityFX. If there is any inconsistency between this Agreement and a Deal confirmation, the Deal confirmation will govern.

Once a Deal has been entered into, you must make each payment or delivery required to be made by you under the terms of the Deal in the Currency, in the amount, on the date and in accordance with the settlement instructions for the Deal, as set out in the related Deal confirmation. You must ensure that any account from which your payment obligations under a Deal are to be made contain sufficient cleared funds to settle the Deal on the value date for the Deal. If the account does not contain sufficient cleared funds to settle the Deal, you will be liable for any resulting fees payable with respect to the account in accordance with the terms under which you hold such account. In addition, if you fail to settle the Deal on the value date for the Deal, EquityFX may, without limiting any other remedies that it may have, in its absolute discretion cancel the Deal, in which case you will have to reimburse EquityFX for any breakage costs and other expenses incurred by EquityFX to cancel the Deal.

If you select a value date for the settlement of a Deal and that date is not a Business Day in the province or state in which any of the accounts from which you will be making or receiving payment for a Deal resides (that is, if the account is maintained at a branch in that province or state), the value date for the Deal will be the first day following the value date that you selected that is a Business Day in each of the provinces in which such accounts reside, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Deal confirmation.

EquityFX will use its reasonable best efforts to process your transactions on the same day they are submitted through EquityFX. EquityFX cannot control nor be responsible for the time it takes Financial Institutions to settle accounts. In the event that a transaction is processed on the next business day for whatever reason, EquityFX shall not, in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct, be responsible for failure, delays or errors in the completion of the transaction and EquityFX shall have no liability for consequential or special damages.

3.      AUTHORITY TO DEAL

You provided EquityFX with a list of one or more employees who have authority to enter into a Deal on your behalf and/or who have authority to provide EquityFX with settlement and delivery instructions for completed Deals. You represent that each such employee has authority to enter into Deals on your behalf and/or to provide EquityFX with settlement and delivery instructions for completed Deals and that any such Deal will be enforceable against you. Any restrictions on an employee's authority to deal with EquityFX previously communicated by you to EquityFX are deemed to be superseded by your representation in this Agreement as to that employee's authority to enter into Deals, unless you specifically advise EquityFX that those restrictions are also applicable to that employee's authority to enter into Deals.

You represent that you have full discretionary authority to purchase and sell Currencies on behalf of each of those Principals and that each Deal entered into on behalf of a Principal will be enforceable by EquityFX against the Principal in accordance with its terms.

These representations are deemed to be repeated on each date on which you enter into a Deal. You will indemnify and hold harmless EquityFX from and against all claims, costs, losses and expenses incurred by EquityFX arising out of, or in respect of, any claim that an employee was not authorized to enter into a Deal on your behalf and/or provide EquityFX with settlement and delivery instructions for completed Deals, or that you were not authorized to enter into or perform a Deal for a Principal or that a Deal for a Principal is otherwise not enforceable against the Principal by EquityFX. This indemnity will survive the completion of any Deal or the termination of this Agreement.
