specified below; (ii) complete Schedule A; and (iii) submit two copies
of a balance sheet, certified by an independent public accountant, for

1. A registrant who is an individual is not required to disclose his or her
Social Security number.

Person: Any individual, corporation, partnership, association, joint

Purpose credit: Credit extended for the purpose of purchasing or

security designated for trading in the National Market System,
(2) debt securities (bonds) that are convertible into margin stock,
and (3) shares of most mutual funds.
Indirectly secured: In general, credit is indirectly secured by margin
stock if there is any understanding between the borrower and the
lender (1) which is designated to make the margin stock more
available to the lender in case of default than to the borrower's other
creditors, or (2) which limits the borrower from exercising full
dominion over the margin stock to sell, pledge, or donate them, or
determining where they shall be placed physically.
