We are entitled to convert any sum received by us (whether for credit into your Broker Account or in payment of any sum due to us) to the currency of the Broker Account or the currency in which payment is to be made, as the case may be, at a rate of exchange determined by us at the relevant time.

2. We may, at any time at a rate determined by us in our sole and absolute discretion, convert any amount in any Broker Account or standing to your credit to any other currency for the purpose of carrying out your instructions or exercising our rights under the Agreement.
