Margin Statement

Securities purchased on margin are First Clearing's collateral for the loan to you. If the securities in your account decline in value, so does the value of the collateral supporting your loan, and as a result, the firm can take action, such as issue a margin call and/or sell securities or other assets in any of your accounts held with Allen & Company at First Clearing Corporation, in order to maintain the required equity in the account. It is important that you fully understand the risks involved in trading securities on margin. These risks include the following:

• You can lose more funds than you deposit in the margin account.
• The firm can force the sale of securities or other assets in your account(s).
• The firm can sell your securities or other assets without contacting you.
• You are not entitled to choose which securities or other assets in your account(s) are liquidated or sold to meet a margin call.
• The firm can increase its "house" maintenance margin requirement at any time and is not required to provide you advance written notice.
• You are not entitled to an extension of time on a margin call.
