ANY AMERITRADE CUSTOMER, IT IS NOW EASY TO PREVENT YOUR SHARES FROM BEING USED AS A LOAN FOR SHORT SELLERS.

ALL YOU NEED TO DO IS CALL THE NUMBER LISTED IN THE LETTER BELOW.

IT DOES NOT RESTRICT YOUR OWN RIGHT TO USE MARGIN FOR YOUR PURPOSES

===========================================================

To keep shares from being loaned to shorts at Ameritrade, here are some instructions:

Dear :

Thank you for contacting us today regarding limiting your securities from being short sold by Ameritrade.

Clients who have a debit balance in their margin accounts may have their stocks loaned to short sellers or external brokers. In order to prevent your securities from being used in this manner, you will need to either:

1) Bring your debit balance to 0 by selling securities or sending funds to pay the debit amount
2) Elect to have all securities in your account exempt from short sell loans

For Option 2, you may reply to this email with your request, contact a Client Services representative at 800-669-3900, or compose a Letter of Instruction (LOI) detailing your request not to have your securities loaned for short transactions. If calling from outside of the United States, you can call 402-970-5805. If you are sending a LOI, mail the completed LOI to the address below:

Ameritrade Clearing Attn: Security Lending
4211 S. 102nd Street
Omaha, NE 68127

Ameritrade must receive your request to opt out no later than 10 business days prior to the ex-dividend date to ensure your shares are not loaned on the ex-dividend date. The request will be for all positions in the account; a request cannot be made for a specific security.

If you have further concerns or inquiries, please reply to this message.

Sincerely,

Apex Client Services, Ameritrade
Division of Ameritrade, Inc.
