在關於客戶的清盤或破產(視情況而定)開始後或發生類似事件後，由或聲稱由客戶、其一位或多位獲授權人或獲授權第三者所發出的任何指令將就恒明珠利益而言繼續生效及有效直至恒明珠指定的日期才會生效，但若恒明珠並無指定任何日期，則相關委任當在確實收到由客戶(若是上述撤銷事件)或若是上述清盤或破產事件，由清盤人、破產管理人或類似人員所發出之通知書(通知恒明珠發生有關事件)後計5日為止。

4.7 Any standing authority is given without prejudice to any other authority or right which Eternal Pearl and/or any member of the Group may have in relation to dealing with any money or securities deposited in any Account. In any event, any standing authority shall be valid for twelve (12) months from 1^st March of one calendar year to 28^th or 29^th February (whichever shall be appropriate) of the immediately following calendar year, and in case where this Agreement is executed after 1^st March of any calendar year, then the first standing authority shall last for less than one (1) full calendar year and expires on 28^th or 29^th February (whichever shall be appropriate) of the following calendar year.

該授權並不損害恒明珠可享有有關處理該等帳戶口內款項或證券的其他授權或權利。該授權的有效期為十二個月，由每年度之三月一日至翌年之二月二十八日/二十九日終止，並可以由客戶於任何時候以書面向恒明珠提出撤銷。然而在恒明珠收到撤銷的書面通知之前，該項撤銷均屬無效，並且按該授權所達成的任何交易也均不受該項撤銷所影響。恒明珠可在此授權終止不少於14日前或任何由恒明珠以書面形式通知之重新訂立之日期，恒明珠可向客戶發出書面通知提醒客戶關於有關終止日期，並指出假若客戶不提出書面反對，該授權則將被視作以同樣條款重新授權，有效期為十二個月至下一年度的三月一日。屆時恒明珠(香港)將以書面確認有關重新授權。

4.8 Any instruction given by Client’s Authorised Person(s) or Authorised Third Party(ies), as the case may be, shall be deemed to be given by the Client. Client hereby agrees to accept full responsibility and shall not later challenge the instructions given by Client’s Authorised Person(s) or Authorised Third Party(ies), as the case may be.

客戶之一位或多位獲授權人或獲授權第三者(視情況而定)所發出之任何指示應當視為客戶所發出。客戶藉此同意完全接受相關責任，其後不得質疑客戶之一位或多位獲授權人或獲授權第三者(視情況而定)所發出之指示。

Eternal Pearl shall be entitled to rely on and to act as it thinks fit in accordance with any instruction given or purportedly given by or on behalf of Client which Eternal Pearl believes in good faith to have been given by Client or its Authorised Person(s) or Authorised Third Party(ies). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Eternal Pearl shall have discretion to reject such instruction. Eternal Pearl shall be under no obligation either to act for the Client or upon any instruction, or execute any transaction for or on behalf of the Client if there are insufficient funds in the Account, or if Eternal Pearl believes that the acting or the execution might result in either Eternal Pearl, any member of the Group or the Client contravening any Laws or Regulations or for any other reason. If Eternal Pearl in its absolute discretion declines to act for the Client or act upon any instruction, or execute any transaction for or on behalf of the Client, Eternal Pearl shall in its own discretion notify the Client accordingly, but Eternal Pearl shall not in any circumstances whatsoever be liable in any way for any loss, damages, liability, cost, expense or whatsoever suffered or incurred by the Client arising in or in connection with the exercise of the above discretion by Eternal Pearl. In any event, Client shall not have any recourse against Eternal Pearl whatsoever.

恒明珠有權按其認為合適依照及執行任何由或代或聲稱由或代客戶發出之任何指令而恒明珠真誠地相信該指示乃由客戶或其一位或多位獲授權人或獲授權第三者所發出。儘管前文所述,恒明珠亦有酌情權拒絕該指令。倘帳戶內無足夠款項,或恒明珠相信,執行有關指令或交易可能導致恒明珠,任何集團成員,或客戶,觸犯任何法例或監管規則或由於其他原因,恒明珠,將無責任代表客戶行事或執行指令或為客戶或代表客戶進行任何交易。倘恒明珠按其絕對酌情決定權拒絕代表客戶行事或執行指令或為客戶或代表客戶進行任何交易,恒明珠可酌情通知客戶,惟恒明珠,在任何情況下,均不會負責任何損失、損害賠償、責任、費用、支出,或任何客戶因恒明珠運用以上酌情權而招致或產生之損失。無論如何，客戶絕不得向恒明珠索償。

6.1 Eternal Pearl may, in carrying out Client’s instructions, contract or otherwise deal with or through any broker for the purchase or sale of securities on any Exchange, or any person associated with Eternal Pearl in any manner, on such terms as Eternal Pearl may in its discretion determine.

在執行客戶的指令時，恒明珠可以合約形式或其他方式與或透過任何經紀於任何交易所買或賣證券或以任何形式與或透過任何與恒明珠有關聯之人士以執行客戶的指令，條款由恒明珠按其酌情權而決定。

在與或為帳戶促成一交易後，或在帳戶發生某些情況或某些調動時，恒明珠可及若法例要求應按有關通知的法例將有關通知書(可以是以電子格式)送往恒明珠紀錄中客戶之一個或多個地址(電郵地址或其他)及/或其他一個或多個聯絡號碼︰

7.1.1 Client agrees that it is its responsibility to ensure that it receives Advice in due time and to make enquiries with and obtain the same from Eternal Pearl immediately if not duly received;

客戶同意此乃其責任確保其在期限內收取通知書，如無恰當地收取通知書，應立即諮詢恒明珠並取回通知書；

7.1.2 any purported discrepancy between the contents of any Advice and Client’s instructions shall be notified to Eternal Pearl, orally or in writing in accordance with the notice provisions of this Agreement, within seven (7) days following the date of issue or re-issue of the Advice to Client; and

上述7日期限屆滿後，該通知書的內容將被視為其所列明之詳情之終論性確實證據而無須以任何其他證據以證明該通知書及/或有關交易或其他相關事宜乃是正確的 (但恒明珠可隨時及不時行使權利，修正帳戶上任何紀錄及/或該通知書內任何詳情若那些紀錄及/或詳情乃其不當或錯誤地作出的)，除非出現以下情況︰

7.1.3.1 any alleged errors notified by Client to Eternal Pearl in accordance with the notice provisions in this Agreement;

所聲稱之錯誤已由客戶根據本協議之通知條款，通知恒明珠；

7.1.3.3 any unauthorised transactions arising from forgery or fraud by any third party (including Client’s employee, agent or servant) in relation to which Eternal Pearl has failed to exercise reasonable care and skill;

因恒明珠未能採取合理謹慎及技術，而令任何第三者(包括客戶的員工、代理或受僱人)可偽造或欺詐手段造成之未獲授權交易；

7.1.3.4 any unauthorised transactions arising from forgery or fraud by any employee, agent or servant of Eternal Pearl; and/or

任何恒明珠員工、代理或受僱人以偽造或欺詐手段造成之未獲授權交易；及/或

Should Client fail to do so, Eternal Pearl is authorised:

客戶須向恒明珠支付買入證券所需並可自由提取使用的款項，或向恒明珠交付沽出證券所需之所有權證明或文件，或促使沽出證券所需的在中央結算系統中的證券之轉讓(視情況而定)，上述每一種情況均應在恒明珠於任何時間要求時作出(即使要求在交收日之前支付及/或交付亦然)，且客戶應採取所有必需的行動，以便根據法例就該買入和沽出作出適當的結算及/或交付。倘客戶未能遵照上述規定，則恒明珠有權︰

8.1.1 in the case of a purchase transaction, to transfer or sell any such purchased securities to satisfy Client’s obligations to Eternal Pearl; or

倘若是一宗買入交易，轉讓或沽出任何該等買入之證券，以償還客戶對恒明珠之責任；或

8.2 If Eternal Pearl has to obtain securities which Eternal Pearl has purchased on behalf of Client in the open market, following the failure of the selling broker to deliver on the settlement date, Client shall be responsible for any difference in prices and all incidental expenses in connection with such open market purchase.

倘若恒明珠因賣方經紀未能在交收日交付證券，導致恒明珠必須在公開市場代表客戶取得該證券，客戶應負責支付任何差價以及在公開市場上購買該證券所需之一切附帶開支。

Except for any security interest of Eternal Pearl or any member of the Group, securities provided by Client for selling or crediting into the Account(s) are fully paid with valid and good title and whose legal and beneficial titles are owned by the Client. Client confirms and undertakes that it will give Eternal Pearl information and/or assurances in relation to the ownership of the securities as Eternal Pearl may require before the selling order is placed. Client shall notify Eternal Pearl when a sale order relates to securities which the Client does not own i.e. where it involves short selling (including where the Client has borrowed stock for the purposes of the sale). Client acknowledges and agrees that no short selling orders will be accepted by Eternal Pearl unless Client provides Eternal Pearl with such confirmation, documentary evidence and assurance as Eternal Pearl in its opinion considers necessary to show the Client has a presently exercisable and unconditional right to vest such securities in the purchaser before placing any short selling order.

除恒明珠或任何集團成員之抵押權益外，客戶提供之所有用作沽出及存入帳戶(或多個帳戶)之證券，須已全數繳足款項並具有效力及妥善之所有權，而該證券之法定及實益所有權皆為客戶所有。客戶必須確認及承諾在沽出指令發出之前，按恒明珠之要求給予恒明珠有關證券持有權之資料及/或保證。客戶必須通知恒明珠當其沽出指令涉及客戶沒有擁有的證券即涉及賣空情況(包括客戶為沽售而借來之證券)。客戶確認及同意恒明珠不會接受任何賣空指示，除非客戶向恒明珠提供恒明珠認為必要的確認、文件證據及保證證實客戶在賣空指令發出前，持有即時可行使而不附有條件的權利將有關證券授與買入者。

10.1 Subject to the terms and conditions as set out in the First Schedule, Eternal Pearl may grant the Facility to the Client to conduct margin securities trading in respect of the Account.

按照附件一列明之條款，恒明珠可給予客戶財務安排以進行涉及帳戶之孖展證券交易。

10.2 Any option trading conducted through any Account shall be conducted in accordance with the terms and conditions as set out in the Third Schedule.

Where the Client requests Eternal Pearl to apply on Client’s behalf for securities in a new issue for listing on an Exchange, the Client hereby agrees to comply with the provisions contained in the Second Schedule.

客戶可以向恒明珠提出，要求代表客戶認購於交易所上市之新發行證券，並同意遵守附件二之條款。

12.1 In the event that Client directs Eternal Pearl to enter into any transaction on an Exchange or other market on which such transactions are effected in a foreign currency, then any loss or damage arising as a result of any fluctuation in exchange rate shall be borne by Client regardless of whether or not Client has heeded warning by Eternal Pearl to Client on the exchange rate risks involved.

倘若客戶指示恒明珠在交易所或其他市場訂立交易，而該交易以外幣進行，則不論客戶有否考慮恒明珠發出的匯率風險警告，所有因匯率波動而引起的損失及利益風險皆全數由客戶承擔。

12.2 All initial and subsequent deposits for margin purposes shall be made at such juncture, in such currency and in such amounts as Eternal Pearl may, in its absolute discretion, require from time to time.

恒明珠擁有絕對酌情權，可以不時要求客戶以恒明珠要求之貨幣及款額存入帳戶作為孖展證券交易的首次及其後之保證金款項。

12.3 When such a contract is liquidated, Eternal Pearl shall debit or credit the Account in such currency in which the Account is denominated, at a rate of exchange determined conclusively by Eternal Pearl on the basis of the then prevailing relevant inter-currencies exchange rate.

當有關合約被平倉結算，恒明珠應以帳戶指定之貨幣為單位，以當時貨幣市場就有關貨幣之兌換率作基準終論性地決定相關兌換率，並於相關之帳戶內記入欠賬或進帳。

12.4 In the event that Eternal Pearl exercises any of its rights under this Agreement, including without limitation the combination or consolidation of Accounts or the transfer of Client money and such combination, consolidation or transfer or exercise of any other right involves any conversion of one currency into another, such conversion shall be based solely on the spot rate of exchange (as conclusively determined by Eternal Pearl) prevailing in such foreign exchange market as determined by Eternal Pearl to be relevant on the date of such combination, consolidation, transfer or exercise of that right.

若恒明珠行使任何本協議權利，包括但不限於合併或綜合任何帳戶或轉移任何客戶款項，而當該合併、綜合、轉移或行使任何其他權利牽涉兌換貨幣時，該兌換應以該合併、綜合、轉移或行使該權利當日由恒明珠決定相關之外匯市場當時之現貨兌換率計算(該兌換率由恒明珠作最終決定)。

12.5 In the event that Client places an order for the sale or purchase of Renminbi-denominated securities, Client acknowledges and agrees that:

當客戶發出指示買賣以人民幣計值的證券時，客戶確認及同意︰

(a) Renminbi is subject to foreign exchange controls and is not freely convertible, and therefore transactions involving Renminbi-denominated securities may involve substantial exchange risks;

人民幣受外匯管制及不可自由兌換，因此涉及以人民幣計值的證券之交易可能涉及重大外匯風險；

(b) unless otherwise indicated by Eternal Pearl, transactions of Renminbi-denominated securities will be settled in Renminbi; and

除恒明珠另有表明外，以人民幣計值的證券之交易將以人民幣結算；及

(c) if Eternal Pearl is required to settle a transaction on behalf of Client by purchasing or selling Renminbi from or through the market, unless otherwise indicated by Eternal Pearl, the exchange rate shall be based on prevailing market rate or such rate as quoted by a licensed bank in Hong Kong.

如恒明珠為客戶進行交易結算而需於市場買賣人民幣，除恒明珠另有表明外，匯率將以現行市場匯率或於香港之持牌銀行所報價為根據。

13.1 Client specifically authorises Eternal Pearl, in respect of any of the securities (whether in Hong Kong or elsewhere) deposited by Client with Eternal Pearl or purchased or acquired by Eternal Pearl on behalf of Client, and held by Eternal Pearl for safe keeping, to register the same in the name of Eternal Pearl or any nominee appointed or agreed by Eternal Pearl (whether such nominee is a person in Hong Kong or elsewhere) or in Client’s name, or deposit in a segregated account which is designated as a trust account or client account and established and maintained in Hong Kong by Eternal Pearl with an authorised financial institution, an approved custodian or another intermediary licensed for dealing in securities (in this Clause 13 referred to as “Segregated Account for Securities”) or deposit with any overseas custodian or overseas clearing house subject to compliance with applicable Regulations.

客戶特此授權予恒明珠就客戶存於恒明珠之任何證券，或由恒明珠代表客戶買入或收購之任何證券，還有恒明珠代為安全保管而持有之任何證券，(不論該證券乃於香港或其他地方)，皆可以恒明珠、任何集團成員或恒明珠指定或同意的任何代名人 (不論該代名人是在香港還是在其他地方的人士) 或客戶名義登記該等證券，或將該等證券存入一個由恒明珠或任何集團成員開立及維持的獨立帳戶內而該獨立帳戶乃指定為信託帳戶或客戶帳戶並設於香港一認可財務機構、核准保管人或其他獲發牌提供證券交易之中介人 (於此第13條稱為「獨立證券帳戶」) 或將該等證券存於任何海外保管人或海外結算公司但須遵守適用的監管規則。

13.2 Client specifically authorises Eternal Pearl, in respect of any of the securities collateral (whether in Hong Kong or elsewhere) deposited with, or otherwise provided by or on behalf of Client to Eternal Pearl, to:

客戶特此授權予恒明珠就任何由或代客戶存放或提供之證券抵押品 (不論於香港或其他地方)︰

以代其收受證券抵押品的客戶、恒明珠或恒明珠指定或同意的任何代名人 (不論該代名人是在香港或是在其他地方的人士) 之名義登記;或

13.2.4 deposit with any overseas custodian or overseas clearing house subject to compliance with applicable Regulations.

存於任何海外保管人或海外結算公司但須遵守適用的監管規則。

13.3 Any securities and securities collateral (whether in Hong Kong or elsewhere) held by Eternal Pearl, any member of the Group, banker, institution, custodian, nominee, intermediary or any other person pursuant to this Clause 13 shall be at the sole risk of Client.

In the event that the odd lot of such securities is not eligible for any such dividends, distributions or benefits, the odd lot held on behalf of Client will not be taken into account in the apportionment. Subject to applicable Laws and Regulations, Eternal Pearl may retain, or otherwise dispose of, for its own account and benefit, any fractional shares entitlements to which Client may be entitled, and entitlements (in any form whatsoever) arising from any odd lot held on behalf of Client or from the aggregation of odd lots held on behalf of the clients of Eternal Pearl (including Client).

Nothing in this Agreement shall in any way impose on Eternal Pearl or any member of the Group any duty to inform Client or to take any action with regards the attendance of meetings and to vote at such meetings. Eternal Pearl or any member of the Group has no duty in respect of notices, communications, proxies and other documents, relating to the securities received by Eternal Pearl or any member of the Group or to send such documents or to give any notice of the receipt of such documents to Client. Eternal Pearl and/or any member of the Group has/have the right to charge Client for its/their respective services in taking or arranging custody of Client’s securities or any action pursuant to Client’s instruction.

所有客戶現時及/或將來實際及/或或有的拖欠恒明珠之債務或其他責任(不論以任何貨幣顯示,亦不論客戶以主要債務人或以擔保人的身份，也不論是單獨、各別或與其他人聯同引起的),包括(但不限於)從任何往來、貸款或其他帳戶(不論已存在或在本協議簽訂日後才開立之帳戶)中預支之所有款項,以及在貨幣和其他金融交易中引起之所有金錢上之責任；

除非文意另有所指，否則本協議內所定義之詞語在本附件一內意義相同。除非文意另有所指，本附件一中所提述的條款的是指本附件一所載的條款。

1.4 The terms of the Facility Letter and any authorisation letter given by Client with respect to the Facility shall form part of this First Schedule.

財務安排函件之條款及客戶就財務安排而作出之任何授權書構成本附件一之一部份。

2.1 In consideration of Eternal Pearl granting to Client the Facility, Client charges to Eternal Pearl, by way of first fixed charge as a continuing security for the payment and satisfaction on demand of the Liabilities, all of Client’s securities which are now or which shall at any time be deposited with, or come into the possession, custody or control of, Eternal Pearl or any member of the Group or any nominee or custodian appointed or agreed by Eternal Pearl, or with any person, to facilitate the provision of the Facility in respect of the Account, which shall include all dividends and other distributions made or payable in respect of such securities, and all securities (and the dividends and other distributions in respect thereof), rights, monies or property of whatever nature accruing to or offered at any time by way of redemption, b onus, preference, options, purchase consideration or otherwise in right or in respect of the aforesaid securities (the “Margin Securities”).

作為恒明珠向客戶提供財務安排之代價,客戶以第一固定押記之形式持續性地抵押予恒明珠,所有以下提述之證券作為支付及清償其被要求時須繳付之負債之擔保。該等證券乃客戶現在或在任何時候為了促成提供與帳戶相關之財務安排而存於恒明珠或任何集團成員或恒明珠指定或同意的任何代名人或保管人或任何人士,或由此等人士所擁有、託管或控制之所有客戶之證券,包括就該等證券而派發或支付之所有股息及其他分配,以及在任何時候以贖回、花紅、優先股、認購權、購買代價或任何形式所產生之權利或就上述證券而產生或被提供之所有證券(以及就其等分發之股息及其他分配)、權利、款項或任何性質的財產(「孖展證券」)。

2.2.1 at all times to maintain the level of margin specified in the Facility Letter or any other level of margin determined by Eternal Pearl from time to time (“Margin”), either by paying to Eternal Pearl sufficient monies or by depositing (or procuring the deposit of) sufficient securities with Eternal Pearl; and

通過向恒明珠支付足夠款項之方式,或通過在恒明珠存入(或促使存入)足夠證券之方式,以維持財務安排函件中規定的或恒明珠不時決定之孖展水平(「孖展」)；

2.2.2 forthwith upon demand to pay to Eternal Pearl such sum, in cleared funds, in cash and/or deliver to Eternal Pearl such additional securities as additional or substituted security for the Liabilities;

在恒明珠之要求下，立即向恒明珠並以可自由提取使用之現金支付有關之款項及/或向恒明珠交付相關之額外證券，作為負債之額外或替代抵押品；

and, for any avoidance of any doubt, any securities deposited with or delivered to Eternal Pearl under this clause shall form part of the Margin Securities.

為免存疑，按本條款下存放於或交付給恒明珠之任何證券將構成孖展證券之一部份。

2.3 Any monies received by Eternal Pearl from Client may be placed and kept to the credit of an interest bearing suspense account for so long as Eternal Pearl thinks fit without any obligation in the meantime to apply the same or any part thereof in or towards discharge of any Liabilities. Notwithstanding any such payment, in the event of any proceedings in or analogous to bankruptcy, winding-up, liquidation, composition or arrangement, Eternal Pearl may prove for and agree to accept any dividend or composition in respect of the whole or any part of such money and liabilities in the same manner as if this security had not been created.

恒明珠從客戶收取之任何款項,均可以在恒明珠認為合適之時間內存於一個生息之暫記帳戶內,但同時恒明珠沒有責任以該等款項或其任何部份以清償任何負債。儘管有任何該等款項,倘若發生破產、清盤、解散、債務重整協議或安排,恒明珠可就該等款項及負債之全數或任何部份以尤如本抵押不存在時會採用之同樣方式,提出債權證明和同意接收相關之攤還債款或債務重整協議。

2.4 Client shall pay to Eternal Pearl on a monthly basis, in respect of the Liabilities, interest at the Normal Interest Rate specified in the Facility Letter but if any Event of Default occurs, the aforesaid Normal Interest Rate may be replaced with the Default Interest Rate specified in the Facility Letter and such replacement shall immediately become effective on the date of the occurrence of such Event of Default unless otherwise agreed in writing by Eternal Pearl.

客戶應每月按照財務安排函件內指定之正常息率支付恒明珠負債相關之利息;然而,若發生任何違約事項,上述正常息率將被財務安排函件內指定之違約息率所替代,而該替代將於發生該違約事項當日即時生效,除非恒明珠另有書面協定。不管本協議之任何規定,恒明珠可隨時酌情決定向客戶發出書面通知,指定另一息率,該新指定之息率應自通知日當日或通知書所指明之較後日期當日起生效。

2.5 Notwithstanding any provisions of this Agreement, Eternal Pearl may from time to time at its discretion, by written notice to Client, stipulate another interest rate, and such other rate shall apply as from the date of the notice or such later date specified in the notice. If any interest rate mentioned in this clause 2.5 or clause 2.4 above in this First Schedule would exceed the maximum lawful rate under the Money Lenders Ordinance, then the maximum lawful interest rate under that Ordinance shall be applied instead. Client agrees that Eternal Pearl shall be entitled (but not be obliged), at any time and from time to time, without prior notice, to debit any Account with Eternal Pearl and/or any other account(s) of Client with other member(s) of the Group with any interest due and payable by Client in accordance with this clause 2. 5 or clause 2.4 above in this First Schedule and Client undertakes to, immediately upon demand by Eternal Pearl, do such act(s) and/or execute such document(s) as may be required by Eternal Pearl at any time and from time to time in order to give full effect to each such debit.

倘若2.5條款或本附件上2.4條款所述之任何息率高於放債人條例(香港法例第163章)之法定最高息率,該息率則為該條例下之法定最高息率。客戶同意,恒明珠有權(但無責任)可隨時及不時並無須事先通知從恒明珠處開立之任何帳戶或客戶在其他一個或多個集團成員處的任何一個或多個帳戶內扣除到期及客戶按2.5條款或本附件一以上2.4條款應付之任何利息及客戶承諾應恒明珠之要求立即作出及/或簽署恒明珠可能隨時及不時要求之行動及/或文件,以使每一項該等扣除全面生效.。

2.6.1 draw on the Facility or withdraw from any account maintained by Client with Eternal Pearl such sums of money in payment of the purchase price for the securities purchased or purportedly purchased for Client as evidenced by the bought note issued in Client’s name and at the same time deposit into any account maintained by Client with Eternal Pearl the securities so purchased or purportedly purchased with money withdrawn from any such account. In addition, Eternal Pearl may draw on the Facility or withdraw from any account maintained by Client with Eternal Pearl such sums of money in payment of brokerage, fees, disbursements, charges and any other sums owed by Client in connection with the Margin Securities; and

從財務安排中或從客戶在恒明珠所維持的任何帳戶中提取款項,用作支付為客戶買入或宣稱為客戶買入的證券之買價(以客戶名義發出的買單為證),同時將上述從客戶帳戶中提取的款項而買入或宣稱買入的證券存入客戶在恒明珠所維持的任何帳戶內。此外,恒明珠可以從財務安排中提取款項或從客戶於恒明珠所維持的任何帳戶中提取款項用作支付經紀費、費用、開支、收費以及客戶就孖展證券所拖欠的任何其他款項；以及

2.6.2 withdraw from any account maintained by Client with Eternal Pearl such securities sold or purportedly sold for Client as evidenced by the sole note issued in Client’s name and at the same time deposit into any account maintained by Client with Eternal Pearl the sums of money representing the net proceeds of sale of the securities so withdrawn and so sold or purportedly sold, or apply the same or any part thereof in or towards discharge of any Liabilities.

從客戶在恒明珠所維持的帳戶中提取為客戶沽出或宣稱沽出的證券(以客戶名義發出的沽單為證),同時將上述提取並沽出或宣稱沽出的證券的凈收益款項存入客戶在恒明珠所維持的任何帳戶內,或將該凈收益款項或其任何部份用於清償任何負債。

3.1 If Client shall pay to Eternal Pearl the whole of the amount of Liabilities without any deduction, Eternal Pearl shall at any time after such payment has been so made, upon Client’s request and cost, discharge the security created hereby provided always that upon discharge Eternal Pearl shall not be bound to return securities bearing serial numbers identical with those deposited with or transferred to Eternal Pearl so long as the securities returned are of the same class, denomination and nominal amount and rank pari passu with those originally deposited with or transferred to Eternal Pearl (subject always to taking account of such events like any capital reorganisation which may have occurred in the meantime).

倘若客戶毫無扣減地向恒明珠支付全部負債金額,恒明珠將在該等款項償付後任何時間,當客戶要求並支付費用後,解除於此產生之抵押。惟當解除抵押時,恒明珠退還之證券,只需與原本存入或轉讓予恒明珠之證券屬同等級別、面值、面額及享有同樣權益(惟須考慮可能在此期間出現任何如資本重組等情況),而毋須與原本存入或轉讓予恒明珠之證券之編號相同。

3.2 The security conferred on Eternal Pearl is a continuing security and shall not be discharged by any intermediate payment or satisfaction of the whole or any part of the Liabilities, or by the closing of any Client’s accounts with Eternal Pearl (whether subsequently reopened or not and either alone or jointly with others).

授予恒明珠之抵押乃持續抵押,不應因任何中期支付或清償全部或任何部份負債而解除,或因結束客戶在恒明珠處開立之任何帳戶而解除(不論是否日後重開及不論獨自或與他人聯同開立)。

3.3 The security hereby conferred on Eternal Pearl is in addition to and without prejudice to any collateral or other securities which Eternal Pearl may now or hereafter hold from or on account of Client nor shall such collateral or other security or any lien to which Eternal Pearl may be otherwise entitled (including any security, charge or lien prior hereto) or the liability of any person or persons not parties hereto for all or any part of the monies and liabilities hereby secured be in any way prejudiced or affected hereby. Eternal Pearl shall have full power at its discretion to deal with, exchange, release, modify or abstain from perfecting or enforcing any such securities or other guarantees or rights which it may now or hereafter have or to give time for payment or any indulgence to any other person or persons without discharging or in any way affecting Client’s liabilities or the security created hereunder. All monies received by Eternal Pearl from Client or any person or persons liable to pay the same may be applied by Eternal Pearl to any account or any transactions to which the same may be applicable.

在此授予恒明珠之抵押,乃添加於且不減損恒明珠現有或今後可能從客戶或為客戶而持有之任何抵押品或其他保證,且恒明珠可能因其他原因而享有的抵押品或其他保證或任何留置權(包括在本協議之前之任何抵押、押記或留置權),或並非本協議訂約方之任何人士就本協議下保證之全部或任何部份款項和負債而承擔之責任,均不會在任何方面因在此授予恒明珠之抵押而受到損害或影響。恒明珠擁有全權酌情處理、交換、免除、修改或放棄完成,或放棄強制執行任何該等保證或其也現在或嗣後可能享有之其他擔保或權利,或對任何其他一位或多位人士給予付款寬限時間或任何寬免,而不會解除或以任何方式影響客戶之負債或本協議下設立之抵押。恒明珠從客戶或有責任付款之任何一位或多位人士收取之所有款項,恒明珠可應用在任何適用之帳戶或交易。

3.4 Client shall, during the continuance of this security, pay all payments due in respect of any of the Margin Securities but Eternal Pearl may if Eternal Pearl thinks fit, make such payments on Client’s behalf. Any sums so paid by Eternal Pearl shall be repayable forthwith by Client and pending such repayment, shall both carry interest at the applicable rate and be a charge on the Margin Securities.

在本抵押持續期間,客戶須支付所有有關任何孖展證券應付之款項,惟恒明珠若認為恰當,可代客戶付款。恒明珠如此支付之任何款項,客戶須立即償還,及在還款前該款項按適用息率附加利息,並成為孖展證券上之押記。

3.5 In addition and without prejudice to any general liens, rights of set-off or other similar rights to which Eternal Pearl may be entitled under law or this Agreement, all securities, receivables, monies and other property of Client (held by Client either individually or jointly with others) held by or in the possession of Eternal Pearl at any time shall be subject to a general lien in favour of Eternal Pearl as continuing security to offset and discharge all of Client’s obligations, arising from the business of dealing in securities, to Eternal Pearl and any member of its Group.

在附加於及不影響恒明珠在法例或本協議下,其可享有之任何一般留置權、抵銷權或其他類同權利之情況下,所有恒明珠持有或擁有之證券、所有應收款項、款項及客戶之其他財產(客戶單獨或聯合持有),均受制於恒明珠之一般留置權下作為持續抵押,以抵銷及解除客戶在證券交易業務中對恒明珠或任何集團成員之所有責任。

Client acknowledges and accepts, for avoidance of any doubt, that Eternal Pearl and any Group company may exercise and enforce any of the rights conferred by this Agreement subject to law, in respect of Indebtedness and Liabilities owed by Client as defined under this Schedule.

客戶確認及接受,為免生疑問,恒明珠及任何集團公司可就有關本附件內定義的客戶拖欠的債務及負債,在法律的規限下行使及執行任何根據本協議賦予的權利。

5. REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND UNDERTAKINGS聲明、陳述、保證及承諾

Client represents, warrants and undertakes to Eternal Pearl that no other person has any interest in the Margin Securities and undertakes not to sell, grant an option over or otherwise deal in any way with or create or allow to subsist a charge, pledge or other encumbrance over the Margin Securities other than pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

凡客戶要求恒明珠代其認購在交易所上市之新發行證券(「申購」)，此附件二之條款即適用。

2.1.1 Client authorises Eternal Pearl to complete such application form as may be required, and represents and warrants to Eternal Pearl that all representations, warranties, confirmations and undertakings on the part of the applicant contained or incorporated in the application form are true and accurate in respect of Client.

客戶授權恒明珠填妥可能需要的申請表,並向恒明珠陳述、聲明及保證申購人必須作出在申購書上所載述或包含之一切有關客戶之陳述、聲明、保證、確認及承諾,均真實及準確。

2.1.2 Client agrees to be bound by the terms of the new issue and Client hereby:

2.1.2.1 warrants and undertakes that the Application shall be the only application made for Client’s benefit in respect of the same issue of securities and that Client shall make no other application in that issue;

保證及承諾該申購乃在同一次證券發行中為客戶利益而作出之唯一申購，及於該次證券發行，客戶不可同時進行其他申購；

2.1.2.2 authorises Eternal Pearl to represent and warrant to the Exchange that no other application shall be made or shall be intended to be made by Client or for Client’s benefit;

授權恒明珠向交易所陳述、聲明及保證客戶不會亦不擬作出其他申購，並且不會亦不擬為客戶的利益而作出其他申購；

2.1.2.4 acknowledges that Eternal Pearl accepts no responsibility to send Client the listing document which sets out the terms and conditions of the new issue of securities (“Prospectus”). By Client’s application for subscriptions, Client confirms that Client has obtained such Prospectus from elsewhere, have read and understood the terms and conditions, and Client’s application is not in breach of such terms and conditions. Client confirms that Client shall not request subscriptions for new issues of securities unless eligible to do so under the applicable securities legislation; and

確認恒明珠沒有任何責任把列明新發行證券之條款及條件之上市文件(「招股書」)交予客戶。對於客戶有關之申購,客戶確認已從其他地方取得招股書,並已細閱及明白其中之條款及條件,而客戶之申購亦不會違反該等條款及條件。客戶確認除非在適用之證券條例下其乃合乎資格,否則客戶不會認購新發行之證券；及

2.1.2.5 represents and warrants that he is not a connected person (as such term is defined in the Regulations) of the issuer of securities that are subject of the new issue.

陳述、聲明及保證並非有關新發行證券的證券發行者之關連人士(按監管規則下之定義)。

2.1.3.2 Upon acceptance of a request for a Loan, Eternal Pearl shall provide a term sheet or other document(s) (“Term Sheet”) to Client confirming the terms of the Loan as agreed between Client and Eternal Pearl, which shall be conclusive and binding on Client.

在恒明珠提供貸款之前，客戶應先向恒明珠提供按金，此按金乃組成申購款項之一部份，金額及提供時限在合約細則內列明。客戶授權恒明珠從其設於恒明珠的任何帳戶扣除一筆相當於按金的款項，但恒明珠可自行酌情要求客戶支付足夠款項給恒明珠作為按金；

2.1.3.4 Unless otherwise specified in the Term Sheet 除非合約細則內另有指明，否則︰

(1) the amount of the Loan shall be the total price of the securities applied for in the Application less the amount of deposit provided by Client pursuant to this clause 2.1.3;

貸款之金額應相等於申購證券之總價格，再減去客戶根據本2.1.3條付出之按金；

(2) Client shall have no right to repay the Loan, in part or in full, prior to the date of repayment specified in the Term Sheet.

客戶沒有權利在合約細則中訂明之償還日期前償還部份或全部貸款。

2.1.3.5 The rate of interest applicable to the Loan shall be specified in the Term Sheet

2.1.3.6 Where Eternal Pearl receives any refund in respect of an Application, Eternal Pearl shall have the right, at its discretion, to apply the same or any part thereof in or towards the discharge of the Loan including any interest accrued thereon or to return the same or any part thereof to Client, whether before or after the date of repayment specified in the Term Sheet.

凡恒明珠接獲有關申購之退款，不論是在合約細則內訂明的償還日期之前或之後，恒明珠均有酌情權決定將全部或部份退款用以清還貸款包括其已累積之利息，或退回上述退款或其任何部份予客戶。

2.1.3.7 In consideration of Eternal Pearl granting to Client the Loan, Client charges to Eternal Pearl, by way of fixed charge as a continuing security for the full repayment of the Loan and the accrued interest thereon, all the securities in or for the Account (“Interest in the Account”), which shall include, without limitation, all securities, all dividends and other distributions made or payable in respect of such securities, rights, monies or property of whatever nature accruing to or offered at any time by way of redemption, bonus, preference, options, purchase consideration or otherwise in right or in respect of the aforesaid securities and those securities acquired on behalf of Client by virtue of the Application in respect of which the Loan is provided. Subject to the Laws, Client authorises Eternal Pearl, for so long as the security created hereby continues, at its discretion and without notice to Client, to dispose of such Interest in the Account in settlement of Client’s liability to repay or discharge any financial accommodation provided by Eternal Pearl. Upon full repayment of the Loan and the accrued Interest thereon, Eternal Pearl shall discharge the security created hereby.

作為恒明珠向客戶發放貸款之代價,客戶以第一固定押記的形式持續性地抵押予恒明珠,所有以下提述之證券作為對貸款及其累計利息全部償還的保證.該等證券乃帳戶內或為帳戶的所有證券(「帳戶利益」)其中包括但不限於上述證券所衍生的所有證券、股息及其他分配,以及於任何時候以贖回、花紅、優先股、認購權、購買代價或任何其他形式所產生之權利或就上述證券而產生或被提供的權利、金錢或任何形式的財產,以及透過貸款代表客戶申購而購入的證券.在法例的規限下,客戶授權恒明珠在此抵押仍持續時,得以酌情及不須通知客戶,處置該等帳戶利益以支付客戶要清償或解除由恒明珠所提供的任何財務安排的責任.恒明珠於貸款及其累計利息全部清償後,將解除於此產生之抵押。

2.1.3.8 Eternal Pearl shall have the additional rights set out in the First Schedule as if the Loan is granted under a Facility.

申購之貸款，尤如在財務安排下發放之貸款一樣，因此，恒明珠將擁有列明於附件一內之權利。

12. For the purposes of this Fifth Schedule, if applicable, account data may include account general data (i.e. general particulars of the relevant account such as account opening date, repayment terms, whether Client as a borrower or guarantor, approved loan amount, repayment terms) and account repayment data (such as the amount repaid, outstanding balance of the loan, default data including the amount and number of days overdue).

13.

Notwithstanding this, Client may at any time request not to receive such direct marketing materials or messages from Eternal Pearl if Client so requests in writing to Eternal Pearl at this address: Compliance Department, 19/F, No. 88 Gloucester Road, Wanchai, Hong Kong or such other address as Eternal Pearl may subsequently notify from time to time. Unless and until Client has so requested in writing, Client shall be deemed to be willing to receive any such information.

11. Client acknowledges that the price quotation service (if any) available on any part of the Websites may be provided by a third party provider appointed by Eternal Pearl from time to time. Client acknowledges and agrees that Eternal Pearl shall not be responsible to Client or any other person for any losses, costs, expenses, damages, claims or liabilities of whatsoever nature which Client or such other person may suffer, directly or indirectly, as a result of or in connection with any aspect of such service including, without limitation, Client’s or such other person’s reliance on such service. Client shall use price quotation (if any) for its individual use only and shall not furnish such data to any other person or entity for any reason.

客戶確認，網址的任何部份所提供的報價服務(若有的話)，可由恒明珠不時指定的第三方提供者所提供。客戶確認及同意，直接或間接因或就該服務之任何方面(包括但不限於客戶或任何其他人士對該服務之依賴)而產生的任何損失、費用、支出、損害賠償、申索或責任(不論屬任何性質)，恒明珠概無須對客戶或該其他人士承擔責任。價格報價(若有的話)僅供客戶使用，客戶不得基於任何理由將該等數據提供予任何其他人士或實體。

12. Client understands that any part of the Websites may provide, for informational purpose only, data regarding Securities and/or other investments published by third parties. Owing to market volatility and possible delay in the data-transmission process, the data may not be real-time market quotes for the relevant Securities or investment. Client understands that whilst Eternal Pearl believes such data to be reliable, there is no independent basis for Eternal Pearl to verify or contradict the accuracy or completeness of such data. Client understands that no recommendation or endorsement from Eternal Pearl shall be inferred from such data.

客戶明白，網址的任何部份可能提供由第三方刊發有關證券及/或其他投資數據(僅作為資訊用途)。因市場波動及數據傳送過程的延誤，該等數據可能並非相關證券或投資的實時市場報價。客戶明白，雖然恒明珠相信該等數據可靠，但沒有獨立基準可供恒明珠核實或否定該等數據的準確性或完整性。客戶明白，不應從該等數據而推斷恒明珠作出任何推薦或認可。

13. Client acknowledges and agrees that Eternal Pearl does not guarantee the timeliness, sequence, accuracy, adequacy or completeness of any information provided by or via the E-Service or on or via the Websites (or any part thereof) and any such information is provided on an “as is”, “as available” basis. Eternal Pearl gives no express or implied warranties (including but not limited to warranties of merchantability or fitness for a particular use) with respect to such information. Further, Client acknowledges that Eternal Pearl gives no express or implied warranties, representations or undertakings with respect to the prices available from or via E-Service at which Client may make offers in respect of Securities (including, without limitation, any warranty, representation or undertaking that such prices are real-time market quotes or best available market prices).

客戶確認及同意，恒明珠並不保證任何由或經電子服務或於或透過網站(或其等任何部份)所提供或所載之資料其及時性、順序、準確性、足夠性或完整性，而任何該資料乃以”現況”、”現有”的基礎提供。恒明珠沒有就該等資料作出明示或默示保證(包括但不限於可商售性或就某一用途的適合性之保證)。再者，客戶確認，關於由或經電子服務可取得之價格(可作為客戶就證券而作出的要約價格)，恒明珠沒有作出明示或默示保證、陳述、聲明或承諾(包括但不限於任何保證、陳述、聲明或承諾該等價格乃實時市場報價或最佳可取得之市價)。

14. Client accepts the risks of receiving or gaining access to services and communication and conducting transactions via the E-Service or over the Internet or by other electronic means or facilities.

客戶接受經由電子服務或互聯網或其他電子方法或設施獲得或取得之服務及通訊以及經由電子服務或互聯網或其他電子方法或設施進行交易所帶來的風險。

15. Client shall, forthwith upon Eternal Pearl’s demand from time to time, pay to Eternal Pearl such applicable costs, charges, expenses, fees, taxes, levies, duties, brokerages, commissions and other applicable remuneration and payments in respect of any transaction via the E-Service and/or the provision to Client of the E-Service (or any part thereof) as notified in writing by Eternal Pearl to Client from time to time.

客戶須按恒明珠不時之要求，立即向恒明珠支付那些由恒明珠不時以書面通知客戶關於透過電子服務的任何交易及/或關於向客戶提供電子服務(或其任何部份)之適用成本、收費、開支、費用、稅項、徵費、稅款、經紀費、佣金及其他適用酬金及款項。

16. Client consents that any document (including, without limitation, any Advice), information, notice or communication may be given or presented to or exchanged with Client electronically on, via or over the Internet, the E-Service and/or any part of the Websites. Any document (including, without limitation, any Advice), information, notice or communication so given or presented to or exchanged with Client as aforesaid shall be deemed to have received by it immediately upon despatch. However, all notices and communications given or delivered to Eternal Pearl electronically on, via or over the Internet, the E-Service and/or any part of the Websites shall be deemed to have been given or delivered to Eternal Pearl on the day of actual receipt by it.

客戶同意,可以電子形式在或透過互聯網、電子服務及/或網站的任何部份,將任何文件(包括但不限於任何通知書)、資料、通知或通訊給予客戶或向客戶出示或跟客戶交換。任何如上述給予客戶或向客戶出示或跟客戶交換之文件(包括但不限於任何通知書)、資料、通知或通訊在發出之時將被視為已被客戶接獲。但所有以電子形式在或透過互聯網、電子服務及/或網站的任何部份向恒明珠發出或交付的通知及通訊均於恒明珠實際收訖當日才被視作已向其發出或交付。

17. Client agrees that should it experience any problems in accessing to and/or using the E-Service, it shall attempt to use the alternative method to communicate with Eternal Pearl (whether or not for the purpose of any transaction) and inform Eternal Pearl of the difficulty it is experiencing.

客戶同意,若客戶進入及/或使用電子服務遭受任何困難,客戶須嘗試使用其他方法與恒明珠溝通(不論是否為任何交易),並把所遇困難知會恒明珠。

18. Client understands that each association/entity asserts a proprietary interest in all of the market data it furnishes to the parties who disseminate such data. Client also understands that no party guarantees the timeliness, sequence, adequacy, accuracy or completeness of market data or any other market information. Client agrees that neither Eternal Pearl nor any disseminating party shall be liable in any way for any loss or damage arising from or caused by any inaccuracy, error or delay in or omission from any such data, information or related message, or the transmission or delivery of the same, or non-performance or interruption of any such data, message or information due to any negligent act of Eternal Pearl or any disseminating party, or to any force majeure event, or any other cause beyond Eternal Pearl’s control or the reasonable control of any disseminating party.

客戶明白，就第三方所發佈的市場數據，提供該等數據的各個機構/實體均主張擁有所有人權益。客戶亦明白到，任何一方均無擔保市場數據或任何其他市場資訊乃及時、有序、充分、準確、或完整。如果由於任何該等數據、資料或相關訊息有任何不準確、錯誤、延遲或遺漏或其等之傳送或交付或恒明珠或任何發佈資料一方之任何疏忽作為，或者任何不可抗力事件，或者恒明珠或任何發佈資料一方不能合理控制之任何其他原因，而造成任何該等數據、訊息或資料不能履行或遭受干擾，並引致任何損失或損害賠償，恒明珠或任何發佈數據一方均無須負責。

19. Client acknowledges and agrees that there are risks of misunderstanding or errors in any communication (including any communication or Instruction via the E-Service) and that such risks shall be absolutely and solely borne by Client.

客戶確認及同意，任何通訊(包括任何經電子服務之通訊或指示)均有誤解或錯誤的風險，而該等風險須絕對由客戶獨自承擔。

20. Client acknowledges and agrees that each Instruction once given cannot be revoked and if acted on by Eternal Pearl, such Instruction shall be binding on Client. For avoidance of any doubt, any Instruction in relation to any Securities given via E-Service shall constitute an irrevocable offer which, if accepted by Eternal Pearl, shall become a binding contract between Eternal Pearl and Client. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary which may be contained in this Agreement or any other document, Eternal Pearl may, at any time and from time to time, in its absolute discretion without notice and without giving any reason therefor, decline to accept any Instruction. Client acknowledges that without prejudice to the foregoing in this Clause 20, any trade confirmation issued from or via E-Service shall be merely an acknowledgement of the receipt of the relevant Instruction.

客戶確認及同意，每項指示一經發出，便不可撤銷；若恒明珠按其行事，該指示則會約束客戶。為免存疑，任何經電子服務發出關於證券的指示將構成一項不可撤銷的要約，而若被恒明珠接受，該要約將成為恒明珠與客戶間一份具約束力的合約。儘管本協議或任何其他文件中可能有任何相反規定，恒明珠可隨時及不時，按恒明珠絕對酌情權及無須通知並無須給予任何理由，拒絕接受任何指示。客戶確認，在無損害本第20條款之前文下，由或透過電子服務發出的任何交易確認僅為相關指示的收條。

21. Client understands that the order management engine used in processing Client’s Instructions is, generally speaking, handled on a “First-In-First Out” order and accordingly, Eternal Pearl does not guarantee that any of Client’s Instructions will be processed even though it may have been received.

客戶明白,用以處理客戶的指示的管理器通常是以”先進先出”方式處理指示,恒明珠並不保證任何客戶的指示一定會被成功處理,即使恒明珠可能已收到該指示。

22. If Client gives any Instruction to Eternal Pearl outside Hong Kong, Client agrees to ensure and represent that such Instruction will have been given in compliance with any applicable law of the relevant jurisdiction from which such Instruction is given, and Client further agrees that it shall, when in doubt, consult legal advisers and other professionals of the relevant jurisdiction. Client accepts that there may be taxes and/or charges payable to relevant authorities in respect of any Instruction given outside Hong Kong, and Client agrees to pay such taxes and/or charges as applicable.

若客戶在香港以外地方向恒明珠發出任何指示，客戶同意確保並聲明，該指示嚴格遵守該指示發出時所在相關司法管轄區的任何適用法律。同時，客戶進一步同意，客戶有疑問時，會諮詢相關司法管轄區的法律顧問及其他專業人士。客戶接受就在香港以外地區發出的指示，可能需向相關當局支付稅費及/或費用，及客戶同意支付該等適用稅費及/或費用。

23. Without limiting the generality of Clause 17.1 of this Agreement above, Client agrees that Eternal Pearl shall not be responsible for any loss, damage, cost, expenses, claim or liability of whatsoever nature, directly or indirectly, arising out of or in connection with:

在沒有限制以上本協議第17.1條所述的一般性之情況下，客戶同意，恒明珠無須就直接或間接因下列各項而產生或與下列各項有關的任何損失、損害賠償、開支、申索或責任(不論屬任何性質)負上任何責任︰

23.1 Client’s access to and/or use of the Internet or other electronic medium (including E-Service or any part of the Websites) notwithstanding that such access and/or use is for accessing any website operated by Eternal Pearl and/or on Eternal Pearl’s behalf and/or using any service provided by Eternal Pearl and/or on Eternal Pearl’s behalf;

客戶使用互聯網或其他電子媒介(包括電子服務或網站的任何部份)，儘管該使用是為了登入由及/或代恒明珠運作的任何網站及/或使用由及/或代恒明珠提供的任何服務；

23.2 any reliance on any information obtained via Client’s use of the Internet or other electronic medium (including E-Service or any part of the Websites) notwithstanding that such information is obtained from any website operated by Eternal Pearl and/or on Eternal Pearl’s behalf; and

依賴客戶透過使用互聯網或其他電子媒介(包括電子服務或網站的任何部份)而獲取的任何資料,儘管有關資料乃由及/或代恒明珠運作的任何網站所取得;及

23.3 any other cause beyond Eternal Pearl’s control or anticipation including, without limitation, any delay in the transmission, receipt or execution of any Instruction due to a breakdown or failure of transmission of communication facilities.

任何非恒明珠可控制或預期的其他原因，包括但不限於因通訊設施故障或傳送失敗而令傳送、收取或執行任何指示有所延誤。

24. Client agrees that notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other document, should there be any inconsistency between the information (including any document but not any Advice) available from or via the E-Service, the Websites, the Internet or other electronic medium (whether or not the same being available in accordance with this Agreement) and the information on Eternal Pearl’s records, the information on Eternal Pearl’s records shall prevail save for any manifest error and that Eternal Pearl shall accept no liability as a result of the unreliable nature of the Internet or other electronic medium (including E-Service or any part of the Websites) or other reason beyond the control of Eternal Pearl.

客戶同意，儘管本文或任何其他文件另有規定，若從或經電子服務、網站、互聯網或其他電子媒介可取得的資料(包括任何文件但並不包括任何通知書)(不論該資料是否根據本協議而可取得)與恒明珠記錄中的資料有任何不同之處，當以恒明珠記錄中的資料為準(重大錯誤者除外)，及對因互聯網或其他電子媒介(包括電子服務及網站任何部份)之不可靠性質或其他非恒明珠可控制之原因而產生之責任，恒明珠概不承責。

(a) The Internet or other electronic media (including without limitation, where applicable, electronic devices, services of third party telecom service providers such as mobile phones or other handheld trading devices) is/are an inherently unreliable form(s) of communication, and that such unreliability is beyond Eternal Pearl’s control.

互聯網或其他電子媒介(包括但不限於(若適用)電子儀器，由第三方電訊服務供應商所提供的服務，例如手提電話或其他手提交易儀器)本質上乃是不可靠的通訊形式，而此不可靠性乃非恒明珠所能控制的。

(b) Transactions over the Internet or through other electronic media (including without limitation, where applicable, electronic devices, services of third party telecom service providers such as mobile phones or other handheld trading devices) may be subject to interruption (including, without limitation, stoppage of price data feed), transmission blackout, delayed transmission due to data volume, incorrect data transmission due to the public nature of the Internet or other electronic media or loss of information or loss of confidentiality.

互聯網或其他電子媒介(包括但不限於(若適用)電子儀器，由第三方電訊服務供應商所提供的服務，例如手提電話或其他手提交易儀器)上的交易可能會遭到干擾(包括但不限於提供價格資料有所停頓)、輸送停頓、因大量數據而延誤傳送，或由於互聯網或其他電子媒介的公眾性質而導致不正確資料傳達或失去資料或失去保密性。

(c) As a result of such unreliability, there may be time-lags or delays in the transmission of data and receipt of Instructions and Client has to solely bear any loss resulting from any such time-lag or delay.

由於這些不可靠性,可能在傳達訊息和接受指示時會有時間上的差距或延誤,而客戶須獨自承担因任何該時間上的差距或延誤而產生的任何損失。

Trading on one electronic trading system may differ from trading on other electronic trading systems. If Client undertakes transactions on an electronic system, Client shall be exposed to risks associated with the system including the failure of hardware and software. The result of any system failure may be that in respect of Client’s Instructions, there may be transmission error, failure or delay.

透過一個電子交易系統進行買賣,可能會與透過其他電子交易系統進行買賣有所不同。如果客戶透過某個電子交易系統進行買賣,便須承受該系統帶來之風險,包括有關系統硬件或軟件可能會失靈的風險。系統失靈的結果可能會是:就客戶的指示而言,可能會有傳送錯誤、失敗或延遲。

Electronic trading facilities are supported by computer-based component systems. As with all facilities and systems, they are vulnerable to temporary disruption or failure. Client’s ability to recover certain losses may be subject to limits on liability imposed by the system provider, the market, the clearing house and/or participant firms. Such limits may vary: Client should ask the firm with which Client deals for details in this respect.

電子交易的設施是以電腦組成之系統所支持的。然而,所有設施及系統均有可能會暫時中斷或失靈,而客戶就此所能獲得的賠償或會受制於系統供應商、市場、結算公司及/或參與者商號就其所承擔的責任所施加的限制。由於這些責任限制可以各有不同,客戶應向為客戶進行交易的商號查詢這方面的詳情。

Client understands and acknowledges that the risks above disclosed do not purport to disclose or discuss all of the risks associated with using E-Service and that Client should consult Client’s own independent legal and other advisors prior to entering into any transaction via E-Service.

客戶明白及確認,以上所透露之風險並非意圖透露或討論所有使用電子服務之相關風險及在透過電子服務訂立任何交易前,客戶應諮詢客戶本身及獨立之法律及其他顧問之意見。

26. Client consents and authorises Eternal Pearl to deliver the Password to Client by email (“Authorisation”) to the email address specified in the Account Application and agrees to bear all risks associated with such email delivery, including but not limited to the risks of transmission error, delay, unauthorised disclosure and unauthorised use. Client agrees that the Password will be deemed to have been received by Client immediately upon despatch. Client acknowledges that once the Password is deemed to be received by Client, Client shall be the sole user of the Password and be solely responsible for the confidentiality, protection and use of the Password as well as all instructions/offers placed by using the Password. Eternal Pearl shall not have any liability to Client or any third party for any loss, damages, expense, cost, claim or liability of whatsoever nature, directly or indirectly, arising out of or in connection with any such instruction/offer and/or the handling, inaccurate or incomplete transmission, delay in transmission, loss or loss of confidentiality, or the same. Client agrees at all times on demand to indemnify and keep indemnified Eternal Pearl from and against all liabilities, costs and expenses of any nature whatsoever reasonably incurred by it arising from or in any way related to its reliance and/or acting on this Authorisation (including any email address provided by Client). Client acknowledges that this Authorisation will become effective on the date of Eternal Pearl’s approval of sending the Password in accordance with the terms hereof, which approval may or may not be given by Eternal Pearl in its absolute discretion.

客戶同意並授權恒明珠通過電子郵件(該電子郵件地址於帳戶申請中指定)的方式發送密碼(“授權”),並同意承擔與該電子郵件傳遞相關聯的所有風險,包括但不限於傳輸錯誤、延遲、未經授權的披露和未經授權的使用的風險。客戶同意,一經寄發,密碼將被視為已被客戶收取。客戶確認,一旦密碼被視為已被客戶收取,客戶應是密碼的唯一用戶,並獨立對保密、密碼的保護及使用及使用密碼而設的所有指令/指示負責。恒明珠將不會對客戶或任何第三方的損失、損害、支出、開支、索償或任何性質的責任(無論是直接或間接因任何該等指令/指示及或處理、不準確或不完整傳輸、傳輸延遲、損失或保密損失而引致或與其相關)或任何該等指令/指示及/或處理、不準確或不完整傳輸、傳輸延遲、損失或保密損失承擔任何責任。客戶同意任何時候一經要求即履行彌償，並就所有責任、支出及開支(無論任何性質並由恒明珠合理引致或與恒明珠依賴及/或依據該授權(包括任何客戶提供的電子郵件地址)行動所產生的支出及開支)對恒明珠保持彌償。客戶確認,該授權將於恒明珠批准發送密碼(根據本協議條款發送;視其絕對酌情,恒明珠可以或可以不批准密碼之發送)之日起生效。

27. Client acknowledges and agrees that the fees set forth in the Websites (or any part thereof) appropriately reflect the allocation of risks set forth in this Agreement. Accordingly, based on the foregoing, Client acknowledges as reasonable the exclusions of warranties and limitations on liability set forth in this Agreement. As such, Client acknowledges and agrees that if any of the exclusions or limitation of warranties or liabilities set forth in this Agreement should be deemed to be invalid, ineffective or unenforceable, or in the event Eternal Pearl is found liable for any claim arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or this Sixth Schedule, then, the entire collective liability of Eternal Pearl and/or any member of the Group shall in no circumstance exceed two (2) times the amount of fees paid by Client to Eternal Pearl in the month immediately preceding the act or omission or circumstance giving rise to a claim.

客戶確認並同意,列載於網站(或其等任何部份)的費用適當反映本協議列載的風險分配。因此，基於上述,客戶確認本協議列載之擔保排除及責任限制合理。就此,客戶確認並同意,倘本協議列載之任何擔保或責任的排除或限制被視為無效、失效或不具執行效力,或當恒明珠因或有關本協議或本附錄六而被認為對任何索償有責任,恒明珠及/或集團任何成員的全部集體責任在任何情況下將不超過客戶於引致索償產生的行為或遺漏或情形之日起的前一個日付予恒明珠的金額之兩(2)倍。

28. All or any part of the E-Service (or any option permitted under all or any part of the E-Service) may be provided at the sole and absolute discretion of Eternal Pearl either on an individual account basis or on the basis of all accounts maintained by Client with Eternal Pearl. Eternal Pearl shall have the right to send a notice by way of a letter, email or other electronic means to require Client to clarify or confirm its instructions relating to all or any part of the E-Service and/or any other service provided under the Agreement. Client shall have the duty to clarify or confirm its instruction as required by such notice. If Eternal Pearl does not subsequently receive any express instruction in writing from Client correcting Eternal Pearl’s understanding of Client’s instruction as stated in such notice by the response time limit stated in such notice, Client shall be deemed to have confirmed Eternal Pearl’s understanding of the relevant instruction of Client and/or the manner in which Eternal Pearl handles or will handle Client’s instruction as stated in such notice.

恒明珠有獨自及絕對酌情權以個別單一帳戶的形式或客戶在恒明珠持有的所有帳戶一拼的形式提供電子服務的全部或任何部分(或其下容許的任何選項)。恒明珠有權以信件,電郵或其他電子方式向客戶發出通知書要求客戶澄清或確認與電子服務或本協議下提供的其他服務的全部或任何部分有關的指示。客戶有責任按該通知書的要求澄清或確認其指示。倘若恒明珠其後在該通知書訂明的限期內沒有收到客戶作出的糾正該通知書中所述恒明珠對客戶指示的理解的明確書面指示,則客戶會被視作已確認恒明珠就該通知書中所述有關客戶指示的理解及/或恒明珠處理或將處理客戶指示的方式。

In this Seventh Schedule, unless the context otherwise requires, the following words and expressions have the meanings set out below:

除非上下文另有規定，本附件七中的詞彙與術語具有以下含義：

“Close-Out Amount” means, unless otherwise specifically provided for in the transaction documentation applicable to a particular transaction or group of transactions, with respect to each terminated transaction, the amount of the losses or costs of Eternal Pearl that are or would be incurred under then prevailing circumstances (expressed as a positive number) or gains of Eternal Pearl that are or would be realised under then prevailing circumstances (expressed as a negative number) in replacing, or in providing for Eternal Pearl the economic equivalent of the material terms of that terminated transaction. Any Close-out Amount will be determined by Eternal Pearl (or its agent), which will act in good faith and use commercially reasonable procedures in order to produce a commercially reasonable result. Unpaid Amounts in respect of a terminated transaction and legal fees and out-of-pocket expenses are to be excluded in all determinations of Close-out Amounts. In determining a Close-out Amount, Eternal Pearl may consider any relevant information, including, without limitation, quotations (either firm or indicative) for replacement transactions supplied by one or more third parties and market data in the relevant market. When it is commercially reasonable to do so, Eternal Pearl may in addition consider in calculating a Close-out Amount any loss or cost (or gain) incurred in connection with its terminating, liquidating or re-establishing any hedge related to a terminated transaction. Commercially reasonable procedures used in determining a Close-out Amount may include the application of pricing or other valuation models that are, at the time of the determination of the Close-out Amount, used by Eternal Pearl in the regular course of its business in pricing or valuing transactions.

「結算款項」指除非在適用於特定交易或特定交易組別的交易文件中另有特別規定外,就每筆被終止交易而言,結算款項是指恒明珠在替代該筆被終止交易,或在提供與其主要條款具有等同經濟效益時,在當時情況下遭受或將會遭受的損失或費用金額(以正數表示)或恒明珠在當時情況下實現或將會實現的收益金額(以負數表示)。任何結算款項將由恒明珠(或其代理)以真誠及商業上合理的程序釐定,以達致商業上合理的結果。在釐定結算款項過程中,結算款項均不包括有關某筆被終止交易的未付款項、法律費用及實付費用。在釐定結算款項時,恒明珠或會考慮任何相關資料,包括但不限於一個或多個第三方提供的有關替代交易的確定或參考報價,以及相關市場的市場數據。如在商業上合理的話,恒明珠或會在計算結算款項時額外考慮就其終止、清盤或重新設立與某一交易有關的任何對沖所產生的任何損失或費用(或收益)。釐定結算款項所用的商業合理程序可能包括應用恒明珠在釐定結算款項時,於日常業務過程中為交易定價或作估值時使用的定價或其他估值模型。

除非上下文意另有所指,本協議中已有定義的詞彙及術語在本附件七中具有相同含義。本附件七中提及的條款,均指附件七中的條款,但上下文另有規定的除外。

1.3 In the event of any inconsistency between the provisions of this Agreement and this Seventh Schedule, the provisions of this Seventh Schedule shall prevail; provided, however, that this Seventh Schedule in no way seeks to limit any of Eternal Pearl’s rights under this Agreement and should be interpreted accordingly.

當本協議的條文與本附件七存在不一致時，概以本附件七的條文為準；惟本附件七並非旨在限制恒明珠在本協議項下的權利，以及應當據此詮釋。

2.1 Client agrees that Eternal Pearl may disclose Relevant Information to any person or Government Authority, whether or not established under Hong Kong law, as required under any Foreign Law Requirement (including but not limited to FATCA) as determined by Eternal Pearl.

客戶同意，恒明珠可根據任何外國法要求 (包括但不限於 FATCA)，向任何人士或政府機關(不論是否根據香港法例成立) 披露恒明珠決定的有關資料。

2.2 Client undertakes to provide Eternal Pearl with information, documents and certifications as reasonably required by Eternal Pearl in order to meet Eternal Pearl’s obligations under any Foreign Law Requirement (including but not limited to FATCA). Client acknowledges and agrees that this may include Eternal Pearl – Client Agreement January 2017 Edition 26 information, documents or certifications in connection with Client, its authorized representatives, or the Ultimate Owner.

客戶承諾向恒明珠提供恒明珠為履行其於任何外國法要求 (包括但不限於 FATCA) 項下的義務而合理要求的資料、文件及證明書。客戶確認及同意，這可能包括與客戶、客戶的獲授權代表或最終擁有人有關的資料、文件及證明書。

2.3 Client will, promptly and from time to time, supply Eternal Pearl with identity information and personal data in connection with the establishment or continuation of any Account with Eternal Pearl or provision of services. Client further acknowledges that failure to supply Relevant Information may result in Eternal Pearl being unable to effect a transaction, provide the services under this Agreement or operate or maintain any Account with Eternal Pearl; or may result in Eternal Pearl terminating the Account. It may also result in Eternal Pearl having to withhold or deduct amounts as required under any Foreign Law Requirement (including but not limited to FATCA).

客戶將不時立即向恒明珠提供與於恒明珠開立或維持開立任何帳戶或提供服務有關的身份資料及個人資料。客戶進一步確認：如未能提供有關資料，則可能導致恒明珠不能進行交易，或不能向客戶提供本協議項下的服務，或不能操作或維持於恒明珠開立的任何帳戶，或導致恒明珠終止帳戶，且亦可能導致恒明珠須根據任何外國法要求 (包括但不限於 FATCA) 扣繳或扣減款項。

2.4 Client shall notify Eternal Pearl forthwith of any change to the Relevant Information. Eternal Pearl shall be entitled to rely fully on all such Relevant Information for all purposes until Eternal Pearl is notified to the contrary in writing and any such written notification shall be duly signed by Client. Client understands and accepts that notwithstanding anything to the contrary which may be contained in this Agreement including this Seventh Schedule, any change to any such information shall not take effect until such time as prescribed by Eternal Pearl at is sole and absolute discretion, and in case where no time limit is prescribed by Eternal Pearl, then the relevant appointment shall take effect five (5) days after the actual receipt by Eternal Pearl of the relevant written notification or until such shorter period of time as may be agreed by Eternal Pearl in writing.

若有關資料有任何改動，客戶須立即通知恒明珠。除非恒明珠接獲客戶以書面通知的任何變更，否則恒明珠有權完全依賴該等有關資料作一切用途及任何該等書面通知須由客戶恰當地簽署。客戶明白及接受：儘管本協議(包括本附件七)或另有相反規定，任何該等資料之任何變更，只會在恒明珠指定的日期才會生效，但若恒明珠並無指定任何日期，則相關委任當在確實收妥有關書面通知當日起計5日後或恒明珠可以書面同意之較短時間後才會生效。

2.5 For avoidance of any doubt, to the extent that applicable non-disclosure, confidentiality, bank secrecy, data privacy or other law imposes nondisclosure requirements on transaction and similar information required or permitted to be disclosed as contemplated herein but permits a party to waive such requirements by consent, the consent and acknowledgements provided herein shall be a consent by Client for purposes of such law.

為免存疑，倘若任何適用的禁止披露要求、保密要求、銀行業秘密要求、數據私隱要求或其他法律不允許對交易或本附件要求或允許進行披露的類似資料進行披露，但卻允許一方同意放棄上述禁止要求，則此處之同意及承諾即視為客戶為上述法律之目的作出的同意。

Without limiting any other indemnity provided by Client, Client will indemnify Eternal Pearl and its directors, employees and representatives against any liability, reasonable loss or expense (including tax or levy) arising from Client’s instructions, Account or the provision of a service to Client, including as a result of any failure by Client to comply with this Agreement, including this Seventh Schedule, Client or other agent of Client providing misleading or false information in respect of Client or any other person or matter in connection with this Agreement, unless Eternal Pearl is guilty of wilful misconduct. 在並無限制客戶提供的任何其他彌償的情況下，客戶將就因客戶的指示、帳戶或向客戶提供服務而產生的責任、合理損失或開支(包括稅費及其他徵費)，包括因為客戶未能遵守本協議(包括本附件七)、客戶及客戶的其他代理人就客戶或任何其他人士或與本協議有關聯的事宜提供具誤導成份或錯誤的資料而引致的任何責任、合理損失或開支(包括稅費或其他徵費)，向恒明珠、其董事、僱員及代表作出彌償，但恒明珠的故意不當行為罪行所造成者則另作別論。

4. CONSENT TO DEDUCT, WITHHOLD AND BLOCK同意扣減和扣繳款項及暫停交易

4.1 Client acknowledges and agrees that notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement:

(a) any payments by Eternal Pearl under this Agreement will be subject to taxes, levies, imposts, duties or other charges, withholding and/or deduction of a similar nature, at present or in the future, as required under any Foreign Law Requirement (including but not limited to FATCA), including but not limited to value added taxes, stamp duties, fines, penalties or interest payable in connection with any failure to pay or any delay in paying any of the above;

恒明珠根據本協議支付的任何款項，將須根據外國法要求(包括但不限於 FATCA)於目前或將來被征稅費、徵費、稅金、關稅或其他費用，或進行類似性質的扣繳及/或扣減，該等款項包括但不限於未能支付或遲延支付上述稅費而遭致的增值稅、印花稅、罰金、處罰或利息；

(b) any amount withheld under paragraph (a) above may be held in whatever Account or in whatever manner determined by Eternal Pearl; and

據上述第(a)段被扣繳的任何款項可於恒明珠決定的任何帳戶或按恒明珠決定的任何方式持有；並且

(c) Eternal Pearl is not liable for any gross up, loss or damage suffered as a result of the exercising of our rights under this Clause 4.1.

恒明珠毋須對因恒明珠行使其於本第4.1條的權利而蒙受的任何所扣稅項補足、損失或損害賠償承擔責任。

4.2 Client further acknowledges and agrees that客戶進一步確認及同意：

(a) Eternal Pearl has the right to refuse to carry out any instruction or perform any service under this Agreement if such instruction or service, in Eternal Pearl’s opinion, is in contradiction with or constitutes a breach of any Foreign Law Requirement (including but not limited to FATCA) and/or Eternal Pearl’s policies in relation thereof;

倘若恒明珠認為本協議項下的任何指示或服務將違反任何外國法要求(包括但不限於 FATCA)及/或恒明珠與之有關的政策，或者與之有所抵觸，恒明珠有權拒絕執行該等指示或提供該等服務；

(b) any transaction, payment or instruction under this Agreement may be delayed, blocked, transferred or terminated as required for Eternal Pearl to meet its obligations including those under any Foreign Law Requirement (including but not limited to FATCA) as determined by Eternal Pearl; and

如恒明珠為履行其義務(包括任何外國法要求(包括但不限於 FATCA)項下的義務)而有需要的話，恒明珠可延遲、暫停、轉讓或終止本協議項下的任何交易、付款或指示；以及

(c) Client waives any rights to claim for any loss, damage, cost or expenses suffered as a result Eternal Pearl exercising its rights under the Seventh Schedule.

倘若因恒明珠行使其於附件七中的權利而致使客戶遭受損失、損害、成本或開銷，客戶於此放棄向恒明珠進行索償的一切權利。

5.1 Eternal Pearl may take such action that it deems in its sole discretion as appropriate, in respect of the Account, including without limitation suspending or closing the Account if Client fails to comply with any requirement of this Seventh Schedule in respect of any Foreign Law Requirement (including but not limited to FATCA), including failing to provide information, documents and supporting materials as required by Eternal Pearl or closure is otherwise necessary or convenient for compliance with any Foreign Law Requirement (including but not limited to FATCA).

倘若客戶未能就外國法要求(包括但不限於 FATCA)遵守本附件七的任何要求,包括未能提供恒明珠要求的資料、文件及支持材料,或者終結帳戶對於遵守外國法要求(包括但不限於 FATCA)而言是必要或方便的,則恒明珠有自主酌情權可向帳戶採取所需行動包括但不限於暫停或終結帳戶。

5.2 If Eternal Pearl terminates the services under this Agreement and close the Account(s) of Client, then Eternal Pearl shall have the right, by termination notice to Client, to designate a day not earlier than the day such termination notice is effective as a close-out date (the “Close-Out Date”) and close out some or all of the outstanding transaction(s) in relation to the terminated Account(s) of Client at Eternal Pearl’s sole and absolute discretion. For avoidance of any doubt, when exercising its right to close out the transactions pursuant to this Clause 5, Eternal Pearl is not liable for any losses or damages arising therefrom.

倘若恒明珠終止本協議項下的服務並終結客戶的帳戶，則恒明珠有權以向客戶發出終止通知，其中指定某個不早於該終止通知生效日期的日子為結算日期(「結算日期」)，並依據恒明珠的唯一絕對酌情權終止並結算與客戶被終止帳戶有關的部分或全部未完成交易。為免存疑，在行使本第5條賦予的權利終止並結算交易時，恒明珠不對其中產生的任何損失或損害承擔責任。

5.3 Eternal Pearl shall calculate in good faith, with respect to such terminated transaction(s) as of the Close-Out Date or as soon thereafter as reasonably practicable, the early termination amount (the “Early Termination Amount”) as follows:

恒明珠應於結算日期或在合理切實可行情況下盡快按以下方式真誠計算有關該等被終止交易的提早終止款項(「提早終止款項」)：

(a) for each such terminated transaction or each group of such terminated transactions, calculate a Close-Out Amount;

就各項該等被終止交易或各組該等被終止交易計算結算款項；

(b) calculate the Early Termination Amount being an amount equal to (1) the sum of (A) the aggregate sum of the Close-Out Amount (whether positive or negative) for each terminated transaction, (B) the Unpaid Amounts owing to Eternal Pearl and (C) any legal cost and out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Eternal Pearl in good faith less (2) the Unpaid Amounts owing to Client; and

計算提早終止款項，該款項等於(1)(A)各筆被終止交易的結算款項之總額(不論正數或負數)，(B)欠負恒明珠的未付款項與(C) 恒明珠真誠招致之任何法律費用或實付費用之和，減去(2)欠負客戶的未付款項；及

(c) if the Early Termination Amount is a positive number, Client will pay it to Eternal Pearl; if the Early Termination Amount is a negative number, Eternal Pearl will pay the absolute value of the Early Termination Amount to Client.

若提早終止款項為正數，則客戶將向恒明珠支付有關款項；若提早終止款項為負數，則恒明珠將向客戶支付該提早終止款項的絕對值。

This risk disclosure statement does not purport to disclose or discuss all of the risks, or other significant aspects, of conducting transactions or of the transactions conducted. In light of the risks involved, you (i.e. Client) should undertake a transaction only if you understand its nature, the contractual relationship into which you are entering, and the nature and extent of your exposure to risk. You should also consider whether a transaction is appropriate for you in light of your experience, objectives, financial resources and other relevant circumstances. While Eternal Pearl proposes to give this general risk warning, it is not acting as your financial advisor and you shall not regard Eternal Pearl as so acting. You should consult your own independent legal, tax or financial advisors prior to entering into any transaction.

本風險披露聲明並非就作出交易或交易本身的全部風險及其他重要方面進行披露或討論。有鑒於所涉及的風險，客戶(即客戶)只應在客戶明白交易的性質，客戶將要訂立的合約關係和客戶所須承擔風險的性質和程度後才進行交易。客戶亦應按客戶的投資經驗、投資目標、財政資源和其他相關條件，去考慮交易是否適合自己。即使恒明珠作出此一般性的風險的警告，恒明珠並不是亦不能被視為客戶的財務顧問。客戶應在進行任何交易前諮詢客戶自己的獨立法律、稅務或財務顧問。

1. The prices of securities fluctuate, sometimes dramatically, and that the price of a security may move up or down, and may become valueless. It is as likely that losses will be incurred rather than profit made as a result of buying and selling securities.

證券價格有時可能會非常波動。同時，證券價格可升可跌，及甚至變成毫無價值。買賣證券未必一定能夠賺取利潤，反而可能會招致損失。

2. The price of securities, including without limitation, bonds, interests in unit trusts, mutual funds or other collective investment schemes fluctuates, sometimes dramatically, and may move up or down or even become valueless. It is as likely that losses will be incurred rather than profit made as a result of buying and selling securities.

證券(包括但不限於債券或於單位信託基金，共同基金或其他集合投資計畫所持有的利益)的價格有時可能會非常波動，及可升亦可跌，或甚至變成毫無價值。買賣證券未必一定能夠賺取利潤，反而可能會招致損失。

3. Any representation of past performance is not necessarily a guide to future performance.

任何關於以往業績的陳述，未必能夠作為日後業績的指引或參考。

4. Where investments involve exposure to foreign currencies, changes in rates of exchange may cause the value of the investments to fluctuate up or down.

倘若投資涉及外幣，匯率的波動或會導致投資的價值作出上下波動。

5. Investments in emerging markets need careful and independent assessment by you of each investment and the risks (including without limitation sovereign risk, issuer risk, price risk, liquidity risk, legal and tax risks). Further, you should be aware that, while such investments can yield high gains, they can also be highly risky as the markets are unpredictable and there may be inadequate regulations and safeguards available to investors.

在新興市場投資，客戶需要對每項投資以及風險(包括但不限於主權風險、發行人風險、價格風險、流動性風險、法律和稅務風險)作出謹慎和獨立的分析。而且客戶亦需注意，雖然這些投資可以產生很高的回報，他們亦同時存在高風險，因為市場是不可估計，而且市場未必有足夠的規條和措施去保障投資者。

6. Eternal Pearl is entitled to act upon your instructions and you cannot assume that Eternal Pearl will warn you if your instructions are ill-timed or inadvisable for any reason or if the instructions are likely to cause you loss.

恒明珠有權按客戶的交易指示行動。若客戶的交易指示因任何原因乃不合時宜或不應該進行或該等交易指示很可能會帶給客戶損失，客戶不可假設恒明珠會向客戶提出警告。

7. Before you make any investment, you should obtain a clear explanation of all commission, fees and other charges for which you will be liable. These charges will affect your net profit (if any) or increase your loss.

在客戶進行任何投資前，客戶應索取有關所有佣金、開支和其他客戶須繳付的費用的明確說明。這些費用會影響客戶的純利潤(如有的話)或增加客戶的損失。

RISK OF TRADING GROWTH ENTERPRISE MARKET STOCKS買賣創業板股份的風險

Growth Enterprise Market (“GEM”) stocks involve a high investment risk. In particular, companies may list on GEM with neither a track record of profitability nor any obligation to forecast further profitability. GEM stocks may be very volatile and illiquid.

創業板股份涉及很高的投資風險。尤其是該等公司可在無需具備盈利往績及無需預測未來盈利的情況下在創業板上市。創業板股份可能非常波動及流通性很低。

You should make the decision to invest only after due and careful consideration. The greater risk profile and other characteristics of GEM mean that it is a market more suited to professional and other sophisticated investors.

客戶只應在審慎及仔細考慮後，才作出有關的投資決定。創業板市場的較高風險性質及其他特點，意味著這個市場較適合專業及其他熟悉投資技巧的投資者。

Current information on GEM stocks may only be found on the internet website operated by the Stock Exchange. GEM companies are usually not required to issue paid announcements in gazetted newspapers.

現時有關創業板股份的資料只可以在香港聯合交易所有限公司(“聯交所”)所操作的互聯網網站上找到。創業板上市公司一般毋須在憲報指定的報章刊登付費公告。

You should seek independent professional advice if you are uncertain of or have not understood any aspect of this risk disclosure statement or the nature and risks involved in trading of GEM stocks.

RISKS OF TRADING RENMINBI SECURITIES OR INVESTING IN RENMINBI INVESTMENTS買賣人民幣證券或投資於人民幣投資的風險

1. Exchange risks and Daily Conversion Limit, etc.外匯風險及每日兌換限制等

Renminbi (RMB) is currently not freely convertible and there may at any given time be limited availability of RMB outside Mainland China. There is conversion risk in RMB denominated securities, and daily or other limits may apply to conversion amounts. If converting to or from RMB in Hong Kong, you may have to allow sufficient time to avoid exceeding such limits. In addition, there is a liquidity risk associated with RMB denominated securities, especially if such securities do not have an active secondary market and their prices have large bid/offer spreads. Investment in RMB denominated securities is subject to exchange rate risks. The value of the RMB against any other foreign currencies fluctuates and is affected by changes in Mainland China and international political and economic conditions and by many other factors. The value of RMB settlement amounts compared to other currencies will vary with the prevailing exchange rates in the market. For RMB products which are not denominated in RMB or with underlying investments which are not RMB-denominated, such products will be subject to multiple currency conversion costs involved in making investments and liquidating investments, as well as the RMB exchange rate fluctuations and bid/offer spreads when assets are sold to meet redemption requests and other capital requirements (e.g. settling operating expenses).

現時人民幣不可自由兌換及可能在任何特定時間在中國大陸以外只有有限的人民幣供應。以人民幣計值的證券存有兌換風險，並且就兌換金額可能有每日或其他限制。如在香港買賣人民幣，客戶可能需要容許足夠時間以避免超過該等限制。此外，以人民幣計值的證券帶有流動性風險，特別是如果該等證券沒有交投暢旺的第二市場及他們的價格有大額買賣差價。投資於以人民幣計值的證券須承受匯率風險。人民幣對任何其他外幣的匯價會波動並且受到中國大陸及國際政治及經濟狀況及多個其他因素影響。與其他貨幣相比人民幣結算金額的價值將因應現行市場匯率而變更。就人民幣產品但並非以人民幣計值或帶有並非以人民幣計值的相關投資而言，該等產品因作投資及出售投資而須承受多重貨幣兌換成本，還須承受為履行贖回要求及其他資本規定(例如結算營運開支)而賣出資產時出現的人民幣匯率波動及買賣差價。

2. Limited availability of underlying investments denominated in RMB以人民幣計值的相關投資的有限供應

For RMB products that do not have access to invest directly in Mainland China, their available choice of underlying investments denominated in RMB outside Mainland China may be limited. Such limitation may adversely affect the return and performance of the RMB products.

就沒有途徑於中國大陸直接投資的人民幣產品而言，他們在中國大陸以外又以人民幣計值的相關投資的可供選擇可能有限。該限制可能導致人民幣產品之回報及表現受到不利影響。

If the RMB investment product is attached with a statement of illustrative return which is (partly) not guaranteed, you should pay particular attention to any disclosure relating to the return (or the part of the return, as the case may be) which is not guaranteed and the assumptions on which the illustrations are based, including, e.g., any future bonus or dividend declaration.

如果人民幣投資產品附有闡釋性質的聲明說明回報而該回報(部份)並無保證，客戶應特別注意有關無保證回報(或回報之部份，視屬何情況而定)的任何披露及該等說明所依據的假設，例如包括任何未來花紅或股息分派。

4. Long term commitment to investment products對投資產品的長期承擔

For RMB products which involve a long period of investment, you should pay particular attention to the fact that if you redeem your investment before the maturity date or during the lock-up period (if applicable), you may incur a significant loss of principal where the proceeds may be substantially lower than their invested amount. You should beware of the early surrender/withdrawal fees and charges, if any, as well as the loss of bonuses (where applicable) as a result of redemption before the maturity date or during the lock-up period.

就涉及長時間投資的人民幣產品而言，客戶應特別注意如客戶於到期日前或禁售期(如適用)期間贖回客戶之投資，在贖回收益實質上低於投資額時客戶可能會招致重大本金損失。客戶應注意提早退保發還/退出計劃的費用及收費，如有，及因於到期日前或禁售期期間贖回而導致損失花紅( 如適用)。

You should pay particular attention to the credit risk of counterparties involved in the RMB products. To the extent that the RMB products may invest in RMB debt instruments not supported by any collateral, such products are fully exposed to the credit risk of the relevant counterparties. Where a RMB product may invest in derivative instruments, counterparty risk may also arise as the default by the derivative issuers may adversely affect the performance of the RMB product and result in substantial loss.

客戶應特別注意人民幣產品中涉及的交易對手之信貸風險。在人民幣產品可能投資於不受任何抵押品支持的人民幣債務工具的範圍內，該等產品須全面承受相關交易對手之信貸風險。當人民幣產品投資於衍生工具時，亦可能出現交易對手風險，因為衍生工具發行人違責行為可能導致人民幣產品之表現受到不利影響而引致重大損失。

For RMB products which are, or may invest in, RMB debt instruments, you should pay attention to the fact that such instruments may be susceptible to interest rate fluctuations, which may adversely affect the return and performance of the RMB products.

就屬於人民幣債務工具或可能投資於人民幣債務工具的人民幣產品而言，客戶應注意該等工具可能容易受利率波動的影響而導致人民幣產品之回報及表現受到不利影響。

You should pay attention to the liquidity risk associated with the RMB products, and where applicable, the possibility that the RMB products may suffer significant losses in liquidating the underlying investments, especially if such investments do not have an active secondary market and their prices have large bid/offer spreads.

客戶應注意與人民幣產品相關的流動性風險，及在適用情況下，注意在出售產品本身所投資的相關投資時，人民幣產品可能蒙受重大損失的可能性，特別是如果該等投資沒有交投暢旺的第二市場及他們的價格有大額買賣差價。

8. Possibility of not receiving RMB upon redemption贖回時並非收取人民幣的可能性

For RMB products with a significant portion of non-RMB denominated underlying investments, you should pay attention to the possibility of not receiving the full amount in RMB upon redemption. This may be the case if the issuer is not able to obtain sufficient amount of RMB in a timely manner due to the exchange controls and restrictions applicable to the currency.

就人民幣產品中有相當部份為以非人民幣計值的相關投資而言，客戶應注意贖回時並非全數收取人民幣的可能性。當人民幣的外匯管制及限制導致發行人不能及時取得足夠的人民幣款額，這種情況便可能出現。

9. Additional risks associated with leveraged trading與槓桿交易相關的附加風險

Prior to conducting leveraged trading of RMB products, you should make sure that you understand and accept the risks and the terms and conditions of the borrowing arrangement. Leveraging heightens the investment risk by magnifying prospective losses. You should pay attention to the circumstances under which you will be required to place additional margin deposits at short notice and that your collateral may be liquidated without your consent. You should beware of the risk that market conditions may make it impossible to execute contingent orders, such as “stop-loss” orders. In addition, you should be mindful of your exposure to interest rate risk, and in particular, your cost of borrowing may increase due to interest rate movements.”

進行人民幣產品的槓桿交易之前，客戶應確保已經明白及接受借貸安排之風險和條款及條件。槓桿放大可能遭受的虧損，因而提高投資風險。客戶應注意在哪些情況下客戶可能被要求在短時間內存入額外的保證金及客戶之抵押品可能在未經客戶的同意下被出售。客戶應小心市場情況可能使備用交易指示，例如”止蝕”指示，無法執行的風險。另外，客戶應留意客戶須承受利率風險，特別是客戶之借貸成本可能因利率變動而增加。

RISK OF TRADING NASDAQ-AMEX SECURITIES AT THE STOCK EXCHANGE在聯交所買賣納斯達克－美國證券交易所證券的風險

The securities under the NASDAQ-Amex Pilot Program (“PP”) are aimed at sophisticated investors. You should consult Eternal Pearl and become familiarised with the PP before trading in the PP securities. You should be aware that the PP securities are not regulated as a primary or secondary listing on the Main Board or the Growth Enterprise Market of the Stock Exchange. You should only consider participating in the PP if you have sufficient means and resources to acquire and understand the relevant product and market information regarding the PP which is published on or distributed via the internet in English.

按照納斯達克－美國證券交易所試驗計劃(“試驗計劃”)掛牌買賣的證券是為熟悉投資技巧的投資者而設的。客戶在買賣該項試驗計劃的證券之前，應先諮詢恒明珠的意見和熟悉該項試驗計劃。客戶應知悉，按照該項試驗計劃掛牌買賣的證券並非以聯交所的主板或創業板作第一或第二上市的證券類別加以監管。客戶應當僅在有足夠的辦法和資源獲得並理解通過互聯網以英文刊登和分派的關於試驗計劃的相關產品和市場資料的情況下，方考慮參加試驗計劃。

RISK OF TRADING IN DERIVATIVES AND STRUCTURED PRODUCTS GENERALLY買賣衍生和結構性產品的一般風險

Derivative transactions (“Derivative Transactions”) can involve a range of products (including some more generally known as structured notes and also including products known as structured deposits). Such products can either be apparently simple (such as forwards or options) or highly (and perhaps individually) structured. These products can have substantial benefits for users but they carry with them substantial risks which shall be clearly understood by their users. Considering the possible risks, you should ensure that you have all necessary information you require to assess a Derivative Transaction before deciding on its appropriateness for you. You should consider what you intend to achieve from the Derivative Transaction, including your financial and operational resources, and any tax and accounting considerations. You should be aware of any general framework for Derivative Transactions established by any governing body. There may also be significant regulatory or other legal considerations to be taken into account.

衍生產品的交易(“衍生交易”)可包括一系列的產品(包括通常被稱為結構性票據的產品並包括被稱為結構性存款的產品)。這些產品可以是明顯地簡單(例如期貨或期權)或複雜(或獨立的)結構。這些產品可以為用戶帶來重大利益，亦同時可以為用戶帶來重大風險，而用戶必須清楚明白這些風險。考慮到潛在風險，客戶必須確保客戶在獲得所有用以衡量一項衍生交易的必要資料後，才去決定該交易對客戶是否恰當。客戶應考慮客戶打算在衍生交易中獲取什麼，當中包括客戶有關財政資源及營運資源，和任何稅務及會計上的考慮。客戶應注意任何監管機構對衍生交易所訂立的一般架構。客戶亦可能要對一些相關的重要法規或其他法律因素作出考慮。

For the sake of simplicity, Derivative Transactions can be divided into four basic forms, although the forms can be overlapping and one deal can be a combination of those four forms. The basic forms are swaps, options, forwards and hybrid instruments (which are asset, liability, equity or debt obligations with an embedded transaction from one of the other three categories). Derivative Transactions can be settled in cash, by delivery of property against other property or cash, or by normal hold to maturity with no cash settlements. No matter what form is involved, a common feature of all derivatives is that the obligations of one or both of the parties are based on price movements in an underlying financial asset from which the transaction is derived. This financial asset may be, for example, securities (including shares and bonds), interest rates, indices, currencies or the creditworthiness of a reference entity.

簡單而言，衍生交易可歸納為四個基本形式，雖然這些形式可能有重疊的地方，而同一交易可以是這四個形式的混合體。這些基本形式分別為掉期、期權、期貨和混合性投資工具(即資產、債務、股本或債務責任並包含其他三個基本形式中的其中一項之交易)。衍生交易可以現金交收，可通過交付充抵其他財產或現金的財產交收，或不以現金交收而正常持有至到期為止。無論涉及任何形式，所有衍生工具的一個共同特徵，是一方或雙方的責任乃基於相關金財務安排產(交易乃由此衍生)的價格浮動，金財務安排產可以是，例如證券(包括股票及債券)、利率、指數、貨幣或一個參考機構的信用。

You should not enter into a Derivative Transaction unless you fully understand:客戶不應進行衍生交易，除非客戶完全明白︰

• the nature and fundamentals of a derivative and the financial asset underlying such derivative;

衍生工具的性質及其基本原素和該衍生工具的相關金財務安排產；

• the extent of the economic risk to which you are exposed as a result of entering into such Derivative Transaction (and you have determined that such risk is suitable for you in light of your specific experience in relation to such Derivative Transaction and/or the relevant derivative and your financial objectives, circumstances and resources);

客戶進行該衍生交易所需承擔的經濟風險的程度(而客戶已基於客戶對該衍生交易及/或相關衍生工具的相關投資經驗，客戶的財務目標，財政狀況及財政資源，決定此風險對客戶恰當)；

• the tax treatment of such derivative (which can be complex and/or uncertain); and

GENERIC RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH OVER-THE-COUNTER (“OTC”) DERIVATIVE TRANSACTIONS與場外衍生工具交易有關的一般風險

OTC derivative transactions, like other financial transactions, involve a variety of significant risks. The specific risks presented by a particular OTC derivative transaction necessarily depend upon the terms of the transaction and your circumstances. In general, however, all OTC derivative transactions involve some combination of market risk, credit risk, funding risk and operational risk.

正如其他金融交易一樣，場外衍生工具交易涉及一系列重大風險。與特定場外衍生工具交易相關的具體風險必然取決於交易條件以及客戶所處情況。不過整體而言，所有的場外衍生工具交易都或多或少涉及市場風險、信貸風險、財務安排風險以及操作風險。

1. Market risk is the risk that the value of a transaction will be adversely affected by fluctuations in the level or volatility of or correlation or relationship between one or more market prices, rates or indices or other market factors or by illiquidity in the market for the relevant transaction or in a related market.

市場風險是指由於一個或多個市場價格、利率或指數或者其他市場因素之波動或其等間的關聯性或關係，或者由於相關交易市場或關聯市場流通性不足，從而導致相關交易價值受到不利影響的風險。

2. Credit risk is the risk that a counterparty will fail to perform its obligations to you when due.

信貸風險是指相關交易對手無法按時向客戶履行責任的風險。

3. Funding risk is the risk that, as a result of mismatches or delays in the timing of cash flows due from or to your counterparties in OTC derivative transactions or related hedging, trading, collateral or other transactions, you or your counterparty will not have adequate cash available to fund current obligations.

財務安排風險是指在場外衍生工具交易或相關對沖、貿易、抵押或者其他交易當中，由於客戶的交易對手的資金流動時機出現錯配或延誤，從而導致客戶或者客戶的交易對手沒有足夠的現金履行責任的風險。

4. Operational risk is the risk of loss to you arising from inadequacies in or failures of your internal systems and controls for monitoring and quantifying the risks and contractual obligations associated with OTC derivative transactions, for recording and valuing OTC derivative and related transactions, or for detecting human error, systems failure or management failure.

操作風險是指由於客戶用作監控及量度與場外衍生工具交易相關風險及合約責任、用作記錄及評估場外衍生工具及相關交易，或者用作監察人為錯誤、系統故障或管理不善的內部系統及控制措施存在缺陷或者出現故障，從而導致客戶蒙受損失的風險。

There may be other significant risks that you should consider based on the terms of a specific transaction. Highly customised OTC derivative transactions in particular may increase liquidity risk and introduce other significant risk factors of a complex character. Highly leveraged transactions may experience substantial gains or losses in value as a result of relatively small changes in the value or level of an underlying or related market factor.

因應相關交易條款，客戶可能仍需考慮其他重大風險。其中，高度地按客戶意思而訂立的場外衍生工具交易可能會增加流通風險並帶來其他較為複雜的重大風險因素。就高槓桿效應交易而言，其指定或相關市場因素若有輕微波幅，則可能會導致相關高槓桿效應之交易出現重大的價值損益。

Because the price and other terms on which you may enter into or terminate an OTC derivative transaction are individually negotiated, these may not represent the best price or terms available to you from other sources.

由於客戶訂立或終止場外衍生工具交易的價格及其他條件是個別議定，其等可能不是客戶可於其他途徑可獲得之最佳價格或條件。

In evaluating the risks and contractual obligations associated with a particular OTC derivative transaction, you should also consider that an OTC derivative transaction may be modified or terminated only by mutual consent of the original parties and subject to agreement on individually negotiated terms. Accordingly, it may not be possible for you to modify, terminate or offset your obligations or your exposure to the risks associated with a transaction prior to its scheduled termination date.

在評估個別場外衍生工具交易有關的風險及其合約責任時，客戶亦須考慮到，該場外衍生工具交易可能須得到原先合約雙方一致同意之後方能修訂或終止，同時該場外衍生工具交易亦必須受到相關合約條款之約束。因此，客戶在預定終止日期之前可能無法修改、終止或抵消客戶就相關交易所承擔之責任或者所面對之風險。

Similarly, while market makers and dealers generally quote prices or terms for entering into or terminating OTC derivative transactions and provide indicative or mid-market quotations with respect to outstanding OTC derivative transactions, they are generally not contractually obligated to do so. In addition, it may not be possible to obtain indicative or mid-market quotations for an OTC derivative transaction from a market maker or dealer that is not a counterparty to the transaction. Consequently, it may also be difficult for you to establish an independent value for an outstanding OTC derivative transaction. You should not regard your counterparty’s provision of a valuation or indicative price at your request as an offer to enter into or terminate the relevant transaction at that value or price, unless the value or price is identified by the counterparty as firm or binding.

同樣地，雖然市場作價者及交易商一般會提供訂立或終止場外衍生工具交易的價格或條件，以及會就未完成的場外衍生工具交易提供指示性或中期市場報價，但一般來說，他們並沒有合約性責任約束其等必須提供上述價格、條件或報價。此外，如果某一市場作價者或交易商並非相關交易對手，就可能無法向其取得場外衍生工具交易的指示性或中期市場報價。因此，客戶可能難以確立未完成場外衍生工具交易的獨立價值。客戶不應將交易對手因應客戶要求而提供的估價或指示性價格視為以該價值或價格訂立或取消相關交易之要約，除非有關價值或價格經已由交易對手確認並承認其具有約束力。

The above does not purport to disclose all of the risks and other material considerations associated with OTC derivative transactions. You should not construe this generic disclosure statement as business, legal, tax or accounting advice or as modifying applicable law. You should consult your own business, legal, tax and accounting advisers with respect to proposed OTC derivative transactions and you should refrain from entering into any OTC derivative transaction unless you have fully understood the terms and risks of the transaction, including the extent of your potential risk of loss.

以上所述並非旨在披露與場外衍生工具交易有關的所有風險及其他考慮因素。客戶不應將此一般披露聲明視為商業、法律、稅務或會計建議或者視為對相關法例之修訂。客戶應當就擬定進行的場外衍生工具交易自行咨詢商業、法律、稅務及會計顧問之意見；除非客戶經已完全明白相關交易的條件及風險，包括客戶可能蒙受損失之風險水平，否則客戶不應參與任何場外衍生工具交易。

RISKS OF TRADING IN EXCHANGE-TRADED STRUCTURED PRODUCTS (“STRUCTURED PRODUCTS”) E.G. DERIVATIVE WARRANTS (“WARRANTS”), CALLABLE BULL/BEAR CONTRACTS (“CBBC”)買賣交易所買賣之結構性產品(結構性產品)(例如︰衍生權證(權證)，牛熊證)的一些相關風險

In the event that a Structured Product issuer becomes insolvent and defaults on their listed securities, investors will be considered as unsecured creditors and will have no preferential claims to any assets held by the issuer. Investors should therefore pay close attention to the financial strength and credit worthiness of structured product issuers.

倘若結構性產品發行商破產而未能履行其對所發行證券的責任，投資者只被視為無抵押債權人，對發行商任何資產均無優先索償權。因此，投資者須特別留意結構性產品發行商的財力及信用。

Note: “Issuers Credit Rating” showing the credit ratings of individual issuers is now available under the Issuer and Liquidity Provider Information sub- section under Derivative Warrants and under CBBCs section on the Hong Kong Ex corporate website.

注意︰香港結算公司網站的”衍生權證”及”牛熊證”內的”發行商與流通量提供者資料”均載列”發行商之信貸評級”，顯示個別發行商的信貸評級。

Uncollateralised Structured Products are not asset backed. In the event of issuer bankruptcy, investors can lose their entire investment. Investors should read the listing documents to determine if a product is uncollateralised.

非抵押結構性產品並沒有資產擔保。倘若發行商破產，投資者可以損失其全數投資。要確定產品是否非抵押，投資者須細閱上市文件。

Structured Products such as Warrants and CBBCs are leveraged and can change in value rapidly according to the gearing ratio relative to the underlying assets. Investors should be aware that the value of a Structured Product may fall to zero resulting in a total loss of the initial investment.

結構性產品如權證及牛熊證均是槓桿產品，其價值可按相對相關資產的槓桿比率而快速改變。投資者須留意，結構性產品的價值可以跌至零，屆時當初投資的資金將會盡失。

Structured Products have an expiry date after which the issue may become worthless. Investors should be aware of the expiry time horizon and choose a product with an appropriate lifespan for their trading strategy.

結構性產品設有到期日，到期後的產品即一文不值。投資者須留意產品的到期時間，確保所選產品尚餘的有效期能配合其交易策略。

The price of a Structured Product may not match its theoretical price due to outside influences such as market supply and demand factors. As a result, actual traded prices can be higher or lower than the theoretical price.

結構性產品的價格或會因為外來因素(如市場供求)而有別於其理論價，因此實際成交價可以高過亦可以低過理論價。

Investors trading Structured Products with underlying assets not denominated in Hong Kong dollars are also exposed to exchange rate risk. Currency rate fluctuations can adversely affect the underlying asset value, also affecting the Structured Product price.

若投資者所買賣結構性產品的相關資產並非以港幣為單位,其尚要面對外匯風險。貨幣兌換率的波動可對相關資產的價值造成負面影響,連帶影響結構性產品的價格。

The Exchange requires all Structured Product issuers to appoint a liquidity provider for each individual issue. The role of liquidity providers is to provide two way quotes to facilitate trading of their products. In the event that a liquidity provider defaults or ceases to fulfill its role, investors may not be able to buy or sell the product until a new liquidity provider has been assigned. There is no guarantee that investors will be able to buy or sell their Structured Products at their target price any time they wish.

聯交所規定所有結構性產品發行商要為每一隻個別產品委任一名流通量提供者。流通量提供者的職責在為產品提供兩邊開盤方便買賣。若有流通量提供者失責或停止履行職責，有關產品的投資者或就不能進行買賣，直至有新的流通量提供者委任出來止。並無保證投資者可隨時以其目標價買賣結構性產品。

SOME ADDITIONAL RISKS INVOLVED IN TRADING WARRANTS買賣權證的一些額外風險

All things being equal, the value of a Warrant will decay over time as it approaches its expiry date. Warrants should therefore not be viewed as long term investments.

假若其他情況不變，權證愈接近到期日，價值會愈低，因此不能視為長線投資。

Prices of Warrants can increase or decrease in line with the implied volatility of underlying asset price. Investors should be aware of the underlying asset volatility.

權證的價格可隨相關資產價格的引申波幅而升跌，投資者須注意相關資產的波幅。

Other than basic factors that determine the theoretical price of a Warrant, Warrant price are also affected by all prevailing market forces including the demand for and supply of the Warrants. The market forces will be greatest when a Warrant issue is almost sold out and when issuers make further issues of an existing Warrant issue. High turnover should not be regarded as an indication the price of a Warrant will go up. The price of a Warrant is affected by a number of factors in addition to market forces, such as the price of the underlying assets and its volatility, the time remaining to expiry, interest rates and the expected dividend on the underlying assets.

除了決定權證理論價格的基本因素外，權證價格亦會受權證本身在市場上的供求影響，尤其權證在市場上快將售罄又或發行商增發權證時。權證成交額高不應認作為其價值會上升，除了市場力量外，權證的價值還受其他因素影響，包括相關資產價格及波幅、剩餘到期時間、利率及預期股息。

SOME ADDITIONAL RISKS INVOLVED IN TRADING CBBCS買賣牛熊證的一些額外風險

Investors trading CBBCs should be aware of their intraday “knockout” or mandatory call feature. A CBBC will cease trading when the underlying asset value equals the mandatory call price/level as stated in the listing documents. Investors will only be entitled to the residual value of the terminated CBBC as calculated by the product issuer in accordance with the listing documents. Investors should also note that the residual value can be zero.

投資者買賣牛熊證，須留意牛熊證可以即日”取消”或強制收回的特色。若牛熊證的相關資產值等同上市文件所述的強制收回價/水平，牛熊證即停止買賣。屆時，投資者只能收回已停止買賣的牛熊證由產品發行商按上市文件所述計算出來的剩餘價值(注意︰剩餘價值可以是零)。

The issue price of a CBBC includes funding costs. Funding costs are gradually reduced over time as the CBBC moves towards expiry. The longer the duration of the CBBC, the higher the total funding costs. In the event that a CBBC is called, investors will lose the funding costs for the entire lifespan of the CBBC. The formula for calculating the funding costs are stated in the listing documents.

牛熊證的發行價已包括財務安排成本。財務安排成本會隨牛熊證接近到期日而逐漸減少。牛熊證的年期愈長，總財務安排成本愈高。若一天牛熊證被收回，投資者即損失牛熊證整個有效期的財務安排成本。財務安排成本的計算程式載於牛熊證的上市文件。

When the underlying asset is trading close to the call price, the price of a CBBC may be more volatile with wider spreads and uncertain liquidity. CBBC may be called at any time and trading will terminate as a result. However, the trade inputted by the investor may still be executed and confirmed by the Exchange participants after the Mandatory Call Event (“MCE”) since there may be some time lapse between the MCE time and suspension of the CBBC trading. Any trades executed after the MCE will not be recognised and cancelled. Therefore, investors should be aware of the risk and ought to apply special caution when the CBBC is trading close to the call price.

相關資產價格接近收回價時，牛熊證的價格可能會變得更加波動，買賣差價可能會轉闊，流通量亦可能減低。牛熊證隨時會被收回而交易終止。由於強制收事件發生的時間與牛熊證實際停止買賣之間可能會有一些時差。有一些交易或會在強制收回事件發生後才達成及被交易所參與者確認，但任何在強制收回事件後始執行的交易將不被承認並會被取消。因此投資者買賣接近收回價的牛熊證時需額外小心。

RISKS OF TRADING IN SYNTHETIC EXCHANGE TRADED FUNDS (“ETFs”)買賣合成交易所買賣基金( ETFs )的風險

Unlike traditional Exchange traded Funds (“ETFs”), Synthetic ETFs do not buy the assets in their benchmark. Instead, they typically invest in financial derivative instruments to replicate the benchmark’s performance. Investment in Synthetic ETFs involves high risk and is not suitable for every investor. Investors should understand and consider the following risks before trading Synthetic ETFs.

有別於傳統型交易所買賣基金，合成 ETFs 並𣎴買相關基準的成分資產，一般都是透過金融衍生工具去複製相關基準的表現。投資合成 ETFs 涉及高風險，並非人皆適合，投資者買賣合成 ETFs 前必須請楚明白及考慮以下的風險。

ETFs are typically designed to track the performance of certain indices, market sectors, or group of assets such as stocks, bonds, or commodities. Investors are exposed to the political, economic, currency and other risks related to the ETF’s underlying index/assets it is tracking. Investment shall be prepared to bear the risk of loss and volatility associated with the underlying index/asset.

交易所買賣基金主要為追蹤某些指數、行業/領域又或資產組別(如股票、債券或商品)的表現。投資者會承受 ETFs 相關指數/資產有關的政治、經濟、貨幣及其他風險。投資者必須要有因為相關指數/資產的波動而受損失的準備。

Where a Synthetic ETF invests in derivatives to replicate the index performance, investors are exposed to the credit risk of the counterparties who issued the derivatives, in addition to the risks relating to the index, Further, potential contagion and concentration risks of the derivatives issuers should be taken into account (e.g. since derivative issuers are predominantly international financial institutions, the failure of one derivative counterparty of Synthetic ETF may have a “knock-on” effect on other derivative counterparties of the Synthetic ETFs). Some Synthetic ETFs have collateral to reduce the counterparty risk, but there may be a risk that the market value of the collateral has fallen substantially when the Synthetic ETF seeks to realise the collateral.

若合成ETFs投資於衍生工具以追踪指數表現,投資者除了會承受與指數有關的風險外,亦會承受發行有關衍生工具的交易對手的信貸風險。此外,投資者亦應考慮有關衍生工具發行人的潛在連鎖影響及集中風險(例如由於衍生工具發行人主要是國際金融機構,固此若合成ETFs的其中一個衍生工具交易對手倒閉,便可能對該合成ETFs的其他生工具交易對手產生”連鎖”影響)。有些合成ETFs備有抵押品以減低交易對手風險,但仍要面對當合成ETFs的抵押品被變現時,抵押品的市值可能已大幅下跌的風險。

There is no assurance that a liquid market exists for an ETF. A higher liquidity risk is involved if a Synthetic ETF involves derivatives which do not have an active secondary market. Wider bid-offer spreads in the price of derivatives may result in losses. Therefore, they can be more difficult costly to unwind early, when the instruments provide access to a restricted market where liquidity is limited.

交易所買賣基金雖然在相關交易所上市買賣，但這並不保證該基金必定有流通的市場。若合成ETFs涉及的衍生工具沒有活躍的第二市場，流動性風險會更高。較大的衍生工具的買賣差價亦會引致虧損。而要提早解除這些工具的合約比較困難、成本也較高，尤其若市場設有買賣限制、流通量也有限，解除合約便更加困難。

There may be disparity between the performance of the ETFs and the performance of the underlying index due to, for instance, failure of the tracking strategy, currency differences, fees and expenses.

ETFs 及相關指數的表現可能不一致。原因，舉例來說，可能是模擬策略失效、匯率、收費及支出等因素。

Where the index/ market that the ETF tracks is subject to restricted access, the efficiency in unit creation or redemption to keep the price of the ETFs in line with its net asset value (NAV) may be disrupted, causing the ETF to trade at a higher premium or discount to is NAV. Investors who buy an ETF at a premium may not be able to recover the premium in the event of termination.

若 ETFs 所追踪的指數/市場就投資者的參與設有限制，則為使 ETFs 的價格與其資產淨值一致的增設或贖回單位機制的效能可能會受到影響，令ETF的價格相對其資產淨值出現溢價或折讓。投資者若以溢價買入 ETF，在基金終止時可能無法收回溢價。

Investors trading ETFs with underlying assets not denominated in Hong Kong dollars are also exposed to exchange rate risk. Currency rate fluctuations can adversely affect the underlying asset value, also affecting the ETFs price.

若投資者所買賣的交易所買賣基金的相關資產並非以港幣為單位,其尚要面對外匯風險。貨幣兌換率的波動可對相開資產的價值造成負面影響,連帶影響交易所買賣基金的價格。

RISKS OF TRADING IN LEVERAGED AND INVERSE PRODUCTS (“L&I PRODUCTS”)買賣槓桿產品或反向產品的一些相關風險

L&I Products are issued in the form of Exchange traded Funds (“ETFs”) as a type of collective investment schemes but they are in fact derivative products.

槓桿產品或反向產品是指以交易所買賣基金( ETF )形式發行的一種集體投資計劃，但事實上它們是一種衍生工具產品。

Leveraged Products typically aim to deliver a daily return equivalent to a multiple of the underlying index return that they track. Inverse Products typically aim to deliver the opposite of the daily return of the underlying index that they track. In overseas markets, they are commonly known as Leveraged and/ or Inverse ETFs.

槓桿產品的目標一般在提供實現相當於所追蹤相關指數回報若干倍的單日回報。反向產品的目標一般在提供與產品所追蹤相關指數的單日回報相反的收益。海外市場普遍稱相關產品為槓桿及/或反向交易所買賣基金。

To produce the specified leveraged or inverse return, L&I Products have to rebalance their portfolios, typically on a daily basis. As such, they do not share the buy-to-hold characteristics of conventional ETFs. Investors should understand how the performance of L&I Products is likely to be affected when they are held for more than one trading day and its compounding effect. They should be aware that any small variation in the underlying index return may have a large effect on the value of the product you hold.

為產生特定的槓桿或反向回報，該等產品須經常(一般為每日)調整其投資組合。正因如此，它們不具有傳統交易所買賣基金的“購買而持有”的特點。投資者應了解該等產品的回報在持有超過一天之後的影響和其複式效應，亦應知道其相關指數回報的細小變化可以對該產品的價值產生重大影響。

Investors should note the following salient features about L&I Products:客戶須注意以下關於槓桿產品或反向產品的重點：

- It is not advisable to hold L&I Products for longer than the rebalancing interval, typically one day;

不建議持有槓桿產品或反向產品超過其調整周期(一般為一天);

- L&I Products are designed as a trading tool for short-term market timing or hedging purposes, and are not intended for long term investment;

槓桿產品或反向產品是為作為針對短期市場時機或對沖目的而設的交易工具，並不適宜作為長期持有的投資;

- L&I Products are only suitable for sophisticated trading-oriented investors who constantly monitor the performance of their holdings on a daily basis; and

槓桿產品或反向產品只適合富有資深經驗及交易導向型的投資者，並且他們經常及每日可以檢視其組合的表現;及

- the performance of L&I Products, when held overnight, may deviate from the underlying indices.

如隔夜持有槓桿產品或反向產品，其表現可與其相關的指數有所偏離。

The risk of loss in trading in L&I Products is substantial. In particular, they are not suitable for investors who are unfamiliar with the features and risks of L&I Products, as they are designed for daily investment results, and/or investors who are looking for a long-term investment and cannot actively monitor their holdings.

槓桿產品或反向產品交易具有很高的投資損失風險,尤其不適合不熟識槓桿產品或反向產品的特點和風險的投資者，因為該等產品是為即日投資結果而設計的，亦不適合在追求長遠回報的投資者或不能積極檢視其投資組合的投資者。

Therefore, L&I Products are normally not suitable for many members of the public who wish to invest in collective investment schemes or ETFs as a low risk exchange-listed product in order to diversify their investment risks. The regulatory authorities have, taking into account their special risk profile, prohibited and/ or discouraged the use of margin finance for investment in L&I Products. Investors shall carefully consider whether trading is appropriate for you in light of your experience, objectives, financial resources and other relevant circumstances.

因此，對許多欲藉投資集體投資計劃或作為低風險交易所上市產品的交易所買賣基金從而作為分散其投資風險的公眾人士而言，槓桿產品或反向產品一般不適合。監管機構考慮到槓桿產品或反向產品的特殊風險取向，已禁止及/或不鼓勵槓桿產品或反向產品的保證金財務安排交易。在作出有關的投資決定前，客戶須審慎考慮其經驗、目標、財務狀況及其他相關情況。

Whilst they are listed, there is no assurance that a liquid market always exists for the L&I Products concerned. A higher liquidity risk is involved if the product involves derivatives which do not have an active secondary market. Wider bid-offer spreads in the price of the products may result in losses. Therefore, they can be more difficult and costly to unwind early, when the instruments provide access to a restricted market where liquidity is limited.

雖槓桿產品或反向產品在交易所上市，但並不能保證其市場流通性。若有關產品涉及衍生工具而其沒有二級市場，則相關的流通性風險就更高。買賣差價較大，可導致交易損失。因此，倘若相關投資工具為受限制而流通量少的市場提供投資機會，那麽提早折解相關投資工具將會較困難和昂貴。

There may be disparity between the performance of the L&I Product concerned and the performance of the underlying indices due to, for instance, failure of the tracking strategy, currency differences, fees and expenses.

由於跟蹤策略的失效、貨幣差價、以及費用及支出的原因，槓桿產品或反向產品的表現可以與其相關的指數存有差異。

L&I Products may currently be traded, cleared and settled in Hong Kong dollars, Renminbi and/or US dollars. Investors trading with underlying assets not denominated in Hong Kong dollars are also exposed to exchange rate risk. Currency rate fluctuations can adversely affect the underlying asset value, also affecting the product price.

槓桿產品或反向產品目前可用港元，人民幣或美元交易。投資於以非港元作為計價貨幣的相關資產亦會承受滙率風險。貨幣滙率的變化可以對相關資產的價值有不利影響，從而影響產品的價格。

Like ETFs, the risk of L&I Products can include counterparty risk, market risk, tracking errors, trading at discount or
