Where the funds available on the Account are denominated in a currency other than the loan currency, the funds shall be recognised as Collateral in the calculation of the Free Equity, but shall not be considered as funds available on the Account for the purposes of this clause.

   2. The precondition for granting a loan against Securities is the availability of sufficient Collateral. The Bank shall not issue the Customer a loan in an amount which would condition a drop in the Customer's Own Funds below the limit established in the Conditions.

   4. The Customer is obliged to repay the loan to the Bank by the last Banking Day of the month when the loan was granted. The Customer shall have the right to completely or partially repay the loan to the Bank prematurely, together with the unpaid interest accumulated, by submitting to the Bank the corresponding application and ensuring availability of sufficient funds on the Account, which can be debited by the Bank without the Customer's separate order.

   5. If the Customer fails to repay the loan by the established term, but the Customer's Net Equity Ratio exceeds the limit established with the Conditions and the Customer has appropriately performed all obligations arising from the Agreement, the term of repayment of the loan shall be automatically extended, pursuant to the terms and conditions valid at the moment of the extension, to the last Banking Day of the following calendar month, unless the Bank demands repayment of the loan.

   6. The Bank shall only disburse the loan in the currencies specified on the Website. Upon official replacement of the loan currency with another currency unit, the Bank shall have the right to unilaterally change the loan currency and convert the loan into the new currency at the expense of the Customer, based on the official exchange rate of the Bank. The Bank shall notify the Customer of the change in the loan currency via the Website.

4. Lending of securities

   1. The Bank shall lend Securities to the Customer for transaction purposes under these Conditions, by submitting a transaction order, on behalf and at the expense of the Customer, with regard to the Securities at the disposal of the Bank (i.e. short sale).

   2. The precondition for lending Securities is the availability of sufficient Collateral. The Bank shall not lend the Customer Securities in an amount which would condition a drop in the Customer's Own Funds below the limit established in the Conditions.

   3. The Customer is obliged to return the borrowed Securities to the Bank by the last Banking Day of the month when the Securities were borrowed. The Customer shall have the right to prematurely return the borrowed Securities to the Bank at any time, together with the unpaid interest accumulated. To return the borrowed Securities, the Customer shall transfer the Securities equivalent to the borrowed Securities (Securities with the same specific characteristics and in the same amount) to the Bank account designated by the Bank, or submit to the Bank an order for the acquisition, at the expense of the Customer, of Securities equivalent to the borrowed Securities in the amount within which the Securities borrowed by the Customer would be considered as returned to the Bank. The Customer is obliged to compensate to the Bank any expenses incurred by the Bank in connection with the acquisition of Securities.

   4. The Bank shall have the right, at any time and without providing a reason thereof, to demand from the Customer premature return of the borrowed Securities either on a temporary or permanent basis, at the discretion of the Bank. Even though the Bank is not obliged to give the Customer any advance notice of the premature returning of the Securities, the Bank shall do so, if possible, within a reasonable period of time before the term of return. The Customer shall bear any risks arising from or related to the premature return of the borrowed Securities. The Customer is obliged to compensate to the Bank any expenses and damage arising from or related to the premature return of the borrowed Securities.

   5. If the Customer fails to return the borrowed Securities by the established term, but the Customer's Net Equity Ratio exceeds the limit established with the Conditions and the Customer has appropriately performed all obligations arising from the Agreement, the term of return of the borrowed Securities shall be automatically extended, pursuant to the terms and conditions valid at the moment of the extension, to the last Banking Day of the following calendar month, unless the Bank demands return of the borrowed Securities.

   6. Should the Customer fail to return or redeem the borrowed Securities by the established term (including where the Bank demands premature return), the Bank shall have the right to purchase Securities equivalent to the borrowed Securities at the expense of the Customer, and the Customer is obliged to cover the expenses related to such a transaction, for the conclusion of which the Bank has the right to debit the Account.

   7. If, during the loan period of the Securities, a proposal for redemption of the Securities is made or other information is published which, in the Bank's opinion, is bound to significantly affect the price of the borrowed Security, the Bank shall have the right to give the Customer orders related to the lending of securities, including to demand return of the Securities pursuant to the procedure provided in clause 4.4 of the Conditions. The Customer is obliged to adhere to the Bank's orders, bear any risks related to the materialisation of circumstances which give rise to and serve as the basis for such orders and any risks related to such orders, and shall be held liable for any damage caused to the bank through failure to comply with such orders.

   8. If, during the loan period, a bonus issue is carried out with regard to the borrowed Securities or extra Securities are issued to the current securities-holders by other means, without making a monetary contribution, the Customer shall be obliged, by the established term at the latest, to return to the Bank both the borrowed Securities and the extra Securities acquired by way of a bonus issue or other issues. If the Securities consist of subscription rights or other transferable rights, which grant the right to acquire Securities against a monetary contribution or without a monetary contribution, the Customer shall be obliged to immediately allow the transfer of such additional rights to and/or the exercise of such additional rights by the Bank.

   9. If, during the loan period, a takeover bid is made with regard to the borrowed Securities, or a bankruptcy, liquidation, reorganisation or other insolvency proceedings are initiated against the issuer of the Security, the term of return of the borrowed Securities shall be considered as fallen due, with the Bank having the right to demand immediate return of the borrowed Securities in accordance with clause 4.4 of the Conditions, as well as payment of the unpaid interest accumulated.

   10. If, during the loan period, the terms and conditions of the borrowed Securities are changed, or other corporate actions are taken, as a result of which the nominal value of the Security is reduced (e.g. split), the Customer shall be obliged to return to the Bank, at the latest by the established term, Securities in the amount which corresponds to the changes triggered by the above corporate events. If disbursements are made to securities-holders in connection with a corporate event (including interests, dividends or other profit allocations, disbursements associated with the reduction of the nominal value of the Security), the Customer shall be obliged to transfer the corresponding amounts to the Bank without delay. In the event of an increase in the nominal value of the Securities, the Customer's obligations to the Bank shall be restated accordingly.

   11. In case of other operations similar to the corporate events referred to in clause 4.10, the Bank shall recalculate the positions in the respective Securities.

5. Derivative transactions

   1. The Bank shall allow the Customer, under these Conditions, to conclude with the Bank the Derivative Transactions designated by the Bank, or to conclude transactions with Derivative instruments which are traded on regulated markets or trading systems designated by the Bank, and the list of which has been provided in the Price List. Customers have the option of entering into Derivative Transactions on the corresponding regulated markets or trading systems within the scope allowed to the Bank and/or by the Bank to the Customer.

   2. The Bank shall have the right, before entering into a Derivative Transaction, to demand from the Customer availability of sufficient Collateral. The Bank shall not allow the Customer to enter into Derivative Transactions, if this would trigger a drop in the Customer's Net Equity Ratio below the limit established in the Conditions.

   3. The Bank shall allow the Customer to realise Derivative Instruments in money only, unless a separate agreement has been concluded between the Parties or unless the Bank allows execution via actual delivery or receipt of the underlying assets. As a general rule, the Bank does, indeed, allow for the realisation of options via the actual delivery and/or receipt of the underlying assets.

   4. In order to prevent realisation via actual delivery or receipt of the underlying assets (except if allowed by the Bank), the Customer shall be obliged to close his/her position in the corresponding Derivative Instrument in a timely manner, before incurring the obligation of actual delivery or receipt. If the Customer fails to close the position in the Derivative Instrument in a timely manner, the Bank shall have the right to do so itself, so as to prevent incurring the obligation of actual delivery or receipt The Customer shall bear the risk of closure of the position in the Derivative Instrument by the Bank, and shall hence waive any related claims against the Bank or the management or staff members of the Bank.

   5. The Bank shall not allow realisation of Derivative Instrument, if there are insufficient Free Equity on the Account. In such a case, the Bank shall have the right, but not the obligation, to dispose of the Derivative Instrument without the Customer's separate order. If the Bank does not exercise the above right, the Derivative Instrument may become worthless (e.g. option lapse). The Customer shall be aware of such circumstances, bear the risks arising from and related to such circumstances, and hence waive any related claims against the Bank or the management or staff members of the Bank.

   6. The Customer undertakes to compensate to the Bank any damage and expenses arising from or related to the exercise, by the Bank, of the rights established in clause 5 of the Conditions – above all, closure of the position in the Derivative Instrument or disposal of the Derivative Instrument on the initiative of the Bank.

   7. It is forbidden for the Customer to enter into unsecured Derivative Transactions via the Bank. The Customer is obliged to compensate to the Bank any damage (including indirect damage) and expenses arising from or related to the conclusion of such forbidden transactions.

   8. The Customer shall hereby grant the Bank the authorisation required for fulfilling, on behalf of the Customer, the regulatory notification obligations established by the EMIR and carrying out other operations arising from the Derivative Transactions entered into with the Bank, if so required by the EMIR. The Bank shall fulfil, on behalf of the Customer, the relevant notification obligations and carry out other operations only if the Customer has completed the preliminary operations required thereof (including issue of the LEI code and submission to the Bank of any information required for classification of the Customer and fulfilment of the obligations). The Customer shall bear any risk arising from the fulfilment of the regulatory notification obligation related to the Derivative Transactions, and the operations stemming from the EMIR, and shall hence waive any claims against the Bank or the management or staff members of the Bank. If the Customer wishes to fulfil the regulatory notification obligation related to the Derivative Transaction entered into with the Bank, or to carry out other operations required by the EMIR himself/herself or via a third party, the Customer shall submit to the Bank the corresponding application during the conclusion of the Derivative Transaction at the latest.

6. Net equity ratio

   1. The Net Equity Ratio shall, at any moment, be a minimum of 0.5 - i.e. 50% (the limit for the Net Equity Ratio). This means that the Value of Collateral shall at least equal to the Customer's weighed contractual obligations at any given moment in time.

   2. The Customer shall ensure that entry into a transaction would not trigger a drop in the Net Equity Ratio below the limit established in the Conditions. Adherence to the above obligations is the precondition for entry into or mediation of a Transaction by the Bank. In case of failure to fulfil the obligation, the Bank shall have the right to exercise the rights stipulated in clauses 6.3 – 6.5 of the Agreement, and to dispose of the Collateral.

   3. A drop in the Customer's Net Equity Ratio below the limit established in the Conditions shall be deemed a fundamental breach of the Agreement, with the Bank having the right to unilaterally terminate the Agreement and demand immediate performance of the contractual obligations, or to apply other legal remedies.

   4. Without prejudice to the Bank's rights stipulated in clause 6.5, the Bank shall have the right, if the Customer's Net Equity Ratio changes and drops below the limit established in the Conditions, to demand from the Customer immediate enhancement of the Net Equity Ratio within the scope demanded by the Bank, or immediate return of the loan received from the Bank against Collateral, or Securities borrowed from the Bank, or partial or full closure of the open risk positions in Derivative Instruments with the aim of ensuring compliance of the Net Equity Ratio with the limit established in the Conditions.

   5. Where the Net Equity Ratio of the Customer has dropped below the limit established in the Conditions, the Bank shall have the right, without the Customer's transaction order and consent, to realise the Collateral with the aim of either (at the Bank's own discretion) enhancing the Net Equity Ratio or returning the borrowed Securities or the loan received from the Bank against Securities, or to partially or completely close the risk positions arising from Derivative Instruments.

   6. When entering into the transactions referred to in clause 6.5, the Bank shall be governed by the market value of the Securities on the regulated market or trading system. Should the Collateral available on the Account prove insufficient for satisfying the Bank's claims, the Bank shall have the right, without the Customer's transaction order and consent, to realise the assets available on the Customer's other accounts opened in or managed by the Bank, or to debit these accounts.

   7. The Customer confirms being aware of and consenting to that the Bank is not obliged to previously notify the Customer of the exercise of the rights arising from clauses 6.5 or 6.6, or to allow the Customer to enhance the Net Equity Ratio, as the market price of the Securities is liable to change quickly and thus cause further damage and incur further expenses for both the Bank and the Customer. The Customer shall bear the risks arising from and related to the decrease in the Net Equity Ratio and the associated operations, and hence waive any related claims against the Bank or the management or staff members of the Bank. The Customer is obliged to compensate to the Bank any damage caused to and expenses (including indirect expenses) incurred by the Bank in connection with the exercise of the rights established in clauses 6.5 and 6.6 of the Conditions.

   2. The Bank shall have the right to unilaterally change the rate of collateral established on particular Securities, funds or other rights serving as Collateral, by publishing the corresponding information on the Website. In establishing and changing the rate of collateral for the Collateral, the Bank shall be governed by the relevant changes in the financial markets, including changes or expected changes in the market price and/or liquidity of the Collateral, the rate of inflation and the general outlook for economic growth. Considering the importance of the availability of sufficient Collateral, and given the volatility and efficiency of the financial markets and their quick response to any information and changes related to market conditions, financial instruments and/or issuers, the change of the rate of collateral for the Collateral is essentially associated with the ratio between the object and price of the contract, and the value delivered. The unilateral right to change the rate of collateral for the Collateral is the Bank’s precondition for entry into the Agreement.

   3. In order to guarantee fulfilment of the obligations arising from the Agreement or Transactions conducted or to be conducted by the Customer under these Conditions, the Customer shall encumber, with the right of pledge, the Collateral which is available on or which is to be transferred to the Account, together with all of the related rights, for the benefit of the Bank.

   13. The encumbering pledge on the Collateral shall expire when the Customer has appropriately fulfilled all obligations arising from the Agreement and Transaction, and terminates the Agreement. The Bank shall issue the order for deletion of the pledge in the Estonian Central Register of Securities.

   14. By signing the Agreement, the Pledgor shall grant the Bank the irrevocable right and authorisation to:

       1. use and dispose the funds on the Account for the purpose of fulfilling the obligations arising from the Agreement or Transactions.
       2. to submit, on behalf of, in the name of and on account of the Pledgor the order for disposal of the Security covered by the Collateral (including to give instructions and submit orders to the Estonian Central Register of Securities, including for transsfer of the Security to the account indicated by the Bank) and to perform other tasks related to the Collateral

   15. The Pledgor’s obligation shall be considered as fulfilled in the amount of the proceeds from the sale/disposal of the Collateral, less any costs related to the safeguarding and/or disposal of the Collateral. The remaining funds shall be returned to the Pledgor upon compensation of the above costs and satisfaction of the claim arising from the Secured Agreement.
