Business Continuity Plan

In the event of a significant business disruption, either internal or external, Untapped and its affiliates, plan to respond in a timely fashion and resume business operations by safeguarding our employees and property, making a financial and operational assessment, protecting the firm’s books and records, and allowing our customers to transact business. In short, Untapped’s business continuity plan is designed to permit us to resume operations as quickly as possible, given the scope and severity of the significant business disruption. The Business Continuity Plan Addresses: data backup and recovery; all mission critical systems; financial and operational assessments; alternative communications with customers, employees, and regulators; alternate physical location of employees; critical supplier, contractor, bank and counterparty impact; regulatory reporting; and assuring our customers prompt access to their funds and securities if we are unable to continue our business.

Significant Business Disruptions

Untapped’s plan takes into account two kinds of Significant Business Disruptions, internal and external. Internal significant business disruptions affect only Untapped’s ability to communicate and do business, such as a fire or loss of electrical power in the office or building. External significant business disruptions prevent the operation of the securities markets or a number of firms, such as a terrorist attack, a natural disaster, or another event that causes a wide-scale, regional disruption in essential services.

Internal Significant Business Disruptions

In the event of a disruption in Untapped’s business operations due to an internal significant business disruption, Untapped will attempt to continue to conduct business as usual by utilizing alternative communication methods (if available), such as the Internet, cell phones, etc., or by moving its operations to an alternative location. If personnel or operations must be moved to an alternate location, Untapped anticipates that it will resume regular operations as soon as possible.

External Significant Business Disruptions

In the event of a disruption in Untapped’s business operations due to an external significant business disruption, Untapped will attempt to continue to conduct business as usual by moving its operations to an alternative location outside the affected area, if possible, or by providing customers with alternative communication arrangements, as indicated below, to conduct business. Untapped will attempt to resume business within twenty-four (24) hours and to keep everyone informed regarding relevant events to the best of its ability based on the circumstances. In all cases, Untapped will resume normal business operations as soon as it is able to do so based on the type and the extent of the disrupting event.
