II. Firm Policy

Our firm’s policy is to respond to a Significant Business Disruption (SBD) by safeguarding employees’ lives and firm property, making a financial and operational assessment, quickly recovering and resuming operations, protecting all of the firm’s books and records, and allowing our customers to transact business. In the event that we determine we are unable to continue our business, our customers will be directed to Pershing LLC (Pershing), JonesTrading’s clearing firm for instructions on access to the customers funds and securities.

A. Significant Business Disruptions (SBDs)

Our plan anticipates two kinds of SBDs, internal and external. Internal SBDs affect only our firm’s ability to communicate and do business, such as a fire in our building. External SBDs prevent the operation of the securities markets or a number of firms, such as a terrorist attack, a city flood, or a wide-scale, regional disruption. Our

response to an external SBD relies more heavily on other organizations and systems, especially on the capabilities of our clearing firm. Our policy is to provide uninterrupted service to our customers and uninterrupted access to

customer’s funds or securities. JonesTrading does not maintain custody of customer’s funds or securities. JTIS and JTIL clear all transactions through Pershing LLC (“Pershing”). JTC clears all transactions through Penson Financial Services Canada Inc. (“Penson”) The Contacts for Pershing are listed in Appendix 4, and the contacts for Penson are listed in Appendix 5.

VIII. Financial and Operational Assessments

A. Operational Risk

In the event of an SBD, we will immediately identify what means will permit us to communicate with our customers, employees, critical business constituents, critical banks, critical counter-parties, and regulators. Although the effects of an SBD will determine the means of alternative communication, the communications options we will employ will include our public website located at www.jonestrading.com, an alternate website at www.jonestradingbcp.com, telephone, and secure email. In addition, we will retrieve our key activity records as described in the section above, Data Back-Up and Recovery (Hard Copy and Electronic).

(9)

B. Financial and Credit Risk

In the event of an SBD, Management will determine the value and liquidity of our investments and other assets to evaluate our ability to continue to fund our operations and remain in capital compliance. We will contact our clearing firms, critical banks, and investors to apprise them of our financial status. If we determine that we may be unable to meet our obligations to those counter-parties or otherwise continue to fund our operations, we will request additional financing from our bank or other credit sources to fulfill our obligations to our customers and clients. If we cannot remedy a capital deficiency, we will file appropriate notices with our regulators and immediately take appropriate steps, including informing customers that we will no longer accept orders and referring customers to Pershing for information regarding access to funds as well as order and trade processing.

IX. Mission Critical Systems

Our firm’s “mission critical systems” are those that ensure prompt and accurate processing of securities transactions, including order taking, entry, execution, comparison, allocation, clearance and settlement of securities transactions, the maintenance of customer accounts, access to customer accounts, and the delivery of funds and securities. We have the primary responsibility for establishing and maintaining our business relationships with our customers and have sole responsibility for our mission critical functions of order taking, entry, and execution. Our clearing firms provide, through contract, clearance and settlement of securities transactions, the maintenance of customer accounts, access to customer accounts, and the delivery of funds and securities.

Our clearing firms maintain a business continuity plan and the capacity to execute that plan. Our clearing firms represent that they will advise us of any material changes to its plan that might affect our ability to maintain our business and have presented us with an executive summary of its plan, which is attached to this BCP as an Appendix. In the event our clearing firms execute their plan, they represent that they will notify us of such execution and provide us equal access to services as its other customers. If we reasonably determine that our clearing firms have not or cannot put its plan in place quickly enough to meet our needs, or is otherwise unable to provide access to such services, our clearing firms represent that they will assist us in seeking services from an alternative source.

Our clearing firms represent that they back up our records at an out of region site. Our clearing firms represents that they operates a back-up operating facility in a geographically separate area with the capability to conduct the same volume of business as its primary site. Our clearing firms have also confirmed the effectiveness of its back-up arrangements to recover from a wide scale disruption by testing and have confirmed that theytest back-up arrangements annually.

Recovery-time objectives provide concrete goals to plan for and test against. They are not, however, hard and fast deadlines that must be met in every emergency situation, and various external factors surrounding a disruption, such as time of day, scope of disruption, and status of critical infrastructure — particularly telecommunications — can affect actual recovery times. Recovery refers to the restoration of clearing and settlement activities after a wide-scale disruption; resumption refers to the capacity to accept and process new transactions and payments after a wide-scale disruption. Our clearing firms have the following SBD recovery time and resumption objectives: recovery time period of 24 hours and resumption time defined as soon as possible depending on the scope and magnitude of the SBD.
