5. 1 have received from )PMS the options disclosure document entitled, 'Characteristics and Risks of Standardized Options,'
dated February 1994, and I understand the information contained therein and affirm specifically the following:
a. That both the purchase and the writing of uncovered options contract Involve a high degree of risk, are not suitable for
many investors and, accordingly, should be entered into only by investors who understand the nature and extent of their
rights and obligations, and who are fully aware of the inherent risks Involved.
b. That I should not purchase any option unless I am able to sustain a total loss of the premium and transaction costs, and
(I) I should not write a call option unless I either own the underlying security (or a security convertible, exchangeable or
exercisable into such underlying security) or am able to sustain substantial financial losses;, and (ii) I should not write a
put option unless I am able to sustain the loss resulting from purchasing my security at the exercise price, which may be
substantially above the market price at the time of assignment of the put option to rne.
c
That the exchanges or other regulatory bodies may restrict transactions in particular options or the exercise of options
contracts in their discretion from time to time.
d. That I have noted particularly those sections of the options disclosure document which summarize the risk factors Involved
In options trading, and I have determined that, in view of my financial situation and investment objedives, options trading
is not unsuitable for me.
6. 1 have read and I understand the section of the options disdosure document entitled, 'Exercise and Assignment.' I am aware
that any equity or index option I may hold with an 'In-the-money' value of one cent ($0.01) or more at expiration will
automatically be exercised by the Options Clearing Corporation If I fall to give Instructions to the contrary by expiration date. I
am also aware that 1 may not receive actual notice of an exercise or assignment until the week followIng the expiration date.
7. 1 understand that JPMS shall have no responsibility to notify me when an option in my account Is nearing expiration, and I will
have no claim for damage or loss arising out of the fact that an option In my account was not exercised, unless I have Instructed
)PMS to exercise such option at or before the time estabilshed by )PMS.
8. I understand that margin requirements exist in connection with certain options, and I agree to meet all margin calls as made by
)PMS. Further, 1 understand that certain options accounts are considered to be margin accounts, and I represent that I am duly
authorized to open and carry such margin account(s).
9. Where I am a seller of an option, I understand that IPPIS is authorized, In 3PMS's sole discretion and without notification to me, to
take any and all steps necessary to protect JPMS from loss or damage arising out of any put option, call option or other option
transaction made for my account In the event that I do not meet JPMS's margin calls promptly. These steps include, but are not
limited to, buying or selling short (or short exempt) for my account, and at my risk, any or all of the shares represented by
options endorsed by JPMS and for my account, or buying for my account, and at my risk, any put option, call option or other
option as $145 may deem necessary to protect IPMS fully from loss or damage.
10. I warrant that options are suitable for my account after considering the potential financial obligations, and also that I understand
the trading of options and the functioning of the options markets. I realize and understand that any form of options trading has a
number of Inherent risks connected therewith, and I am fully prepared financially to undertake such risks and to withstand any
losses created thereby. I acknowledge that I have received a copy of the 3.P. Morgan Account Derivatives for New Account and

the accuracy of that Information and agree to inform )PMS promptly of any material change In the Information.
