This document was submitted to the FSA independently.

Before starting give-up trades, a give-up agreement needs to be entered into among a Customer, an Executing Member and a Carrying Member to specify the fees, payment terms, conditions for the rejection of take-up trades, etc, in accordance with Article 7-4 of the Brokering Terms. The form of International Uniform Brokerage Execution Service (Give-up) Agreement prepared by FIA (Futures Industry Association) is available for reference and can be used as the give-up agreement among a Customer, an Executing Member and a Carrying Member if the parties agree so.
