Employee Stock Option Exercise and Equity Award Agreement
1. When signed by me and returned to Charles
Schwab & Co., Inc. (“Schwab”), this form will
be my standing authorization for Schwab to
exercise stock options on my behalf and sell
the shares underlying the options upon my
instructions to Schwab. I acknowledge that
completion of this form, or any other Schwab
form, does not complete my stock option
exercise, and that I must call Charles Schwab
Stock Plan Services at 1-800-654-2593 (or if
I am calling from outside the U.S., I can call
Schwab toll-free by simply going to
www.schwab.com/nonusdial to receive
international toll-free dialing instructions)
and give verbal instructions, or I may sign on
to http://eac.schwab.com to exercise my
options. I will receive from Schwab a
conﬁrmation and statement concerning all
such transactions. Upon such instructions
from me to Schwab, my instructions shall be
irrevocable. I understand that Schwab may
verify the availability of my stock options with
the Issuing Company but is not obligated to
do so. I understand that it is my sole
responsibility to contact the Issuing
Company on or before the expiration date to
ensure that the exercise of the options has
been effected.
2. I hereby authorize Schwab to make payment
to the Issuing Company in an amount
sufﬁcient to pay for the exercise of stock
options which I have directed Schwab to
exercise on my behalf. I further authorize
Schwab to apply the proceeds of the sale of
shares acquired through the exercise of such
options against amounts advanced by
Schwab in payment of the exercise price of
such options, and to further apply such
proceeds against any tax withholding
obligations incurred as a result of the
transaction. I authorize Schwab, at its sole
discretion, to communicate with the Issuing
Company regarding the acquisition and
disposition of the shares, including, without
limitation, notiﬁcation of the sale of stock
acquired as the result of an exercise of a
stock option and matters relating to income
tax withholding. Funds will be paid to the
Issuing Company either prior to settlement
of sale and receipt of shares or upon
settlement of sale and receipt of shares,
depending on the Issuing Company’s
requirements.
3. Many Issuing Companies require their
employees to complete the Company’s own
Notice of Intent to Exercise form or other
internal form, separate and apart from this
Agreement and any other Schwab documents.
I understand and agree that it is my sole
responsibility to determine whether or not my
company requires (an) internal form(s) and to
complete and deliver the form(s) directly to
the company in a timely manner and to
comply with all other procedures established
4.

by the Issuing Company for the exercise of
employee stock options. I UNDERSTAND
THAT MY FAILURE TO TURN IN THE PROPER
INTERNAL FORM(S), OR TO PROPERLY
FOLLOW OTHER PROCEDURES ESTABLISHED
BY THE ISSUING COMPANY, MAY RENDER
MY STOCK OPTIONS WORTHLESS.
I understand and agree that it is my sole
responsibility to inform Schwab of the
correct expiration date of my options and to
immediately notify Schwab of any event,
such as resignation or termination from the
Issuing Company, that may affect the
expiration date. If I wish to initiate an
exercise of my options within 30 days of their
expiration, I agree to notify the Issuing
Company’s Stock Plan Administrator
immediately to ensure that my options will
be exercised.
I understand that if the exercised option(s) is
a non-qualiﬁed option, tax withholding may
be required by the Issuing Company. If so, a
separate tax payment will be sent to the
Issuing Company by Schwab, and the
amount thereof will be deducted from my
account.
If my account is a margin account, I
authorize Schwab to extend credit to me in
my margin account if the Issuing Company
requires remittance of funds prior to
settlement of sale and receipt of shares. I
understand that this extension of credit by
Schwab for an option exercise and payment
of any required withholding for taxes and
certiﬁcate issuance fees will result in a debit
balance in my margin account that must be
maintained in accordance with margin credit
regulations promulgated by the Board of
Governors of the Federal Reserve System. I
agree that Schwab will charge interest on all
credit extended to me. I further understand
that Schwab will not require the immediate
sale of the shares received from the exercise
of my options, provided that my margin
account contains enough collateral to
support Schwab’s extension of credit. If I
choose to retain my shares, I authorize and
direct Schwab to take delivery of the shares
and to deposit the shares in my Schwab
margin account.
I hereby represent that:
a. The options offered for the exercise were
granted to me as compensation arising
out of my status as an employee or
contractor of the Issuing Company;
b. I have read and understood the Issuing
Company’s prospectus or other documents regarding the policies and
procedures for the exercise of employee
stock options. If I have any questions
about these procedures, I will consult
with the Issuing Company’s Stock Plan
Administrator;

COM68779-06
c. I am aware that the exercise of the
options and/or the subsequent sale of
shares acquired thereby may involve
adverse tax consequences. I acknowledge that neither Schwab nor its ofﬁcers,
employees or agents are authorized to
give tax advice. I am relying solely on
other sources for advice with respect to
the tax effect of stock option transactions;
d. I understand that my eligibility to receive
dividends on stock acquired through the
exercise of stock options depends upon
factors beyond Schwab’s control, such as
the Issuing Company’s policy with respect
to record dates for dividend purposes
and the Issuing Company’s promptness
in registering stock in my name. I agree
not to hold Schwab liable for dividends
lost or owed as a result of the policies or
actions of the Issuing Company;
e. In the event that the sale date of my
stock is prior to its issuance date, I will
be responsible for any dividends or stock
splits which may take effect in the period
between the sale date and the issuance
date;
f. I understand that Schwab will rely upon
the above representations in conjunction
with stock option exercise transactions,
and that I may be held liable for any
losses which result from any representations which prove to be inaccurate.
8. I am aware that various federal and state
laws or regulations may be applicable to my
transactions, including insider trading laws,
and I shall conduct these transactions in
conformity with all applicable laws and
regulations. In particular, I will not conduct
any transactions in this account at any time
during which I am in possession of any
material nonpublic information concerning
the Issuing Company or any securities of the
Issuing Company.
9. If exercised option shares are sold prior to
their delivery to Schwab, I agree to be liable
for any losses that Schwab may incur as a
result of a failure to receive the option
shares in a timely manner. I further agree
not to hold Schwab liable for any losses,
damages, costs or expenses, including legal
fees, I incur as the result of my failure to
timely complete or deliver any internal
form(s) required by the Issuing Company or
to follow any other procedures established
by the Issuing Company with respect to the
issuance and exercise of stock options.
10. Additional Terms for Equity Awards: An Equity
Award Agreement is required in order to grant
access to view and sell equity awards via
Schwab Equity Award Center®

This agreement relates to your account and is part of the Account Agreement between each Account Holder and
Charles Schwab & Co., Inc. (“Schwab”). Please read and retain for your files.
Section 1: Scope of Agreement. Your agreement with Schwab consists of the terms set
forth in this Application Agreement and the
terms set forth in the Schwab One Account
Agreement, which incorporates the Charles
Schwab Pricing Guide and a number of other
important disclosures. The Schwab One Account
Agreement is provided with this Application or at
the opening of your Account. You agree to
contact Schwab if you do not receive the
Schwab One Account Agreement.
In addition, you may in the future receive from
Schwab supplemental terms or disclosures that
pertain to certain account types, service
features and beneﬁt packages. These supplemental terms and disclosures, this Application
Agreement and the Schwab One Account
Agreement are collectively referred to as the
“Agreement and Disclosures.” You agree to read
the Agreement and Disclosures carefully and
retain copies for your records.
Section 2: Acceptance of Agreements and
Disclosures. You agree that the Agreement and
Disclosures govern all aspects of your relationship with Schwab, including all transactions
between Schwab and you and all products and
services now or in the future offered through
Schwab. Schwab may rely on your use of
Schwab’s products and services as evidence of
your continued acceptance of the Agreement
and Disclosures.
Section 3: Your Representations and Warranties.
You represent and warrant that: (a) you are of
legal age in the state in which you live and you
are authorized to enter into this Agreement;
(b) you have supplied accurate information in
your Account Application; (c) no one except the
Account Holders listed on the Account Application (and if community property is held, the
Account Holders’ spouses) has an interest in
the Account; (d) no additional authorizations
from third parties are required for you to open
the Account and effect transactions therein; (e)
except as you have otherwise indicated on your
Account Application or in writing to us, (i) you
are not an employee of or afﬁliated with any
securities exchange or member ﬁrm of any
exchange, the Financial Industry Regulatory
Authority (FINRA) or any securities ﬁrm, bank,
trust company, or insurance company; and (ii)
you are not a director, 10% beneﬁcial shareholder, policy-making ofﬁcer, or otherwise an
“afﬁliate” (as deﬁned in Rule 144 under the
Securities Act of 1933) of a publicly traded
company; and (f) this Application Agreement, as
amended from time to time, is a legal, valid and
binding obligation, enforceable against you in
accordance with its terms.
Section 4: Account Handling. Schwab will
automatically hold all of your securities
purchased, sales proceeds, dividends and
interest. Schwab will also release your name,
address and securities positions to companies
in which we hold securities for your Account
upon request, unless you notify us otherwise in
writing. If you maintain more than one account
at Schwab, you authorize Schwab to transfer
assets between your accounts when no written
authorization is requested.
Section 5: Responsibility for Investment
Decisions. You agree that you and any agent
under a power of attorney or Investment Advisor
(if you have one) are solely responsible for
investment decisions in your Account, including
whether to buy or sell a particular security.
Unless required by law, or unless Schwab
provides advice to you that is clearly identiﬁed
as an individualized recommendation for you,
you understand that Schwab has no obligation
to determine whether a particular transaction,
strategy, or purchase or sale of a security is
suitable for you. Your obligation includes an
afﬁrmative duty to monitor and stay informed
about your Account and your investments and
respond to changes as you deem appropriate.
Unless Schwab otherwise agrees with you in
writing, Schwab does not have any discretionary
authority or obligation to review or make
recommendations for the investment of
securities or cash in your Account.
You acknowledge that Schwab does not provide
tax or legal advice.
Section 6: Payment of Indebtedness. You agree
to make payment of any indebtedness related to
your Account, including, but not limited to, any
such indebtedness that results from instructions provided to Schwab by you, your agent or
any attorney-in-fact under a power of attorney or
Investment Advisor authorized to make
transactions in your Account. We may elect
anytime, with or without notice, to make any
debit balance or other obligation related to your
Account immediately due and payable. We may
report any past-due account to a consumer and/
or securities credit reporting agency. We may
also refer your Account to a collection agency.
Section 7: Granting a Lien on Your Accounts.
As security for the repayment of all present or
future indebtedness owed to us by each Account
Holder, each Account Holder grants to us a ﬁrst,
perfected and prior lien on, a continuing security
interest in, and right of set-off with respect to,
all property that is, now or in the future, held,
carried or maintained for any purpose in or
through Schwab, and, to the extent of such
Account Holder’s interest in or through, any
present or future account with us or our
afﬁliates in which the Account Holder has an
interest. In the event of a breach or default by
you under this Agreement, Schwab will have the
rights and remedies available to a secured creditor under all applicable laws in addition to the
rights and remedies provided in this Agreement.
If you owe money to Schwab as the result of
activity in your Account and there are assets
available in any non-retirement brokerage
account that you hold at Schwab which could
fully or partially satisfy the debt, you agree that,
upon Schwab’s written demand, you will execute
all documents necessary to effect a transfer
from your non-retirement brokerage account and
agree to pay or cause such funds to be paid
immediately to Schwab in order to satisfy your

Section 8: Liquidations. Whenever it is
necessary for our protection or to satisfy a
margin deﬁciency, debit or other obligation owed
us, we may (but are not required to) sell, assign
and deliver all or any part of the property securing
your obligations, or close any or all transactions
in your Account. We may choose which property
to buy or sell, which transactions to close and
the sequence and timing of liquidation. We may
take such actions on whatever exchange or
market and in whatever manner (including public
auction or private sale) that we choose in the
exercise of our business judgment. You agree
not to hold us liable for the choice of which
property to buy or sell or of which transactions
to close or for timing or manner of liquidation or
any tax consequences from such actions.
In certain circumstances we may, at our sole
discretion, liquidate your entire margin loan
balance to satisfy a margin call. You agree not
to hold us liable for taking such action.
We may transfer property from any non-retirement
brokerage account in which you have an interest
to any other brokerage account in which you have
an interest, regardless of whether there are other
Account Holders on either account, if we determine
that your obligations are not adequately secured
or to satisfy a margin deﬁciency or other
obligation. You agree to pay on demand any
account deﬁciencies after liquidation, whether
liquidation is complete or partial.
All of the above may be done without demand
for margin or notice of purchase, sale, transfer
or cancellation to you. No demand for margin or
notice shall impose on Schwab any obligation to
make such demand or provide such notice to
you in the future. Any such notice or demand is
hereby expressly waived, and no speciﬁc
demand or notice shall invalidate this waiver.
Section 9: Interest on Debit Balances. We will
charge and compound interest on your debit
balances (whether in a Margin or Cash Account)
according to our Disclosure of Credit Terms and
Policies.
Section 10: Borrowing Money and Margin
Trading. All margin transactions are subject to
our Disclosure of Credit Terms and Policies and
our Margin Borrowing at Schwab: Overview and
Disclosure Statement. You agree not to enter an
order for a margin transaction until you have
read and understood the Disclosure of Credit
Terms and Policies and the Overview and
Disclosure Statement.
Section 11: Loan Consent. You agree that
property held in your Margin Account, now or in
the future, may be borrowed (either separately
or together with the property of others) by us
(acting as principal) or by others. You agree that
Schwab may receive and retain certain beneﬁts
(including, but not limited to, interest on
collateral posted for such loans) to which you
will not be entitled. You acknowledge that, in
certain circumstances, such borrowings could
limit your ability to exercise voting rights or
receive dividends, in whole or in part, with
respect to the property lent. You understand
that for property that is lent by Schwab, the
Page 2 of 3
Schwab One® Brokerage Account Application Agreement (Continued)
dividends paid on such property will go to the
borrower. No compensation or other reimbursements will be due to you in connection with such
borrowings. However, if you are allocated a
substitute payment in lieu of dividends, you
understand that such a payment may not be
entitled to the same tax treatment as may have
been applied to the receipt of a dividend. You
agree that Schwab is not required to compensate
you for any differential tax treatment between
dividends and payments in lieu of dividends.
Schwab may allocate payments in lieu of
dividends by any mechanism permitted by law,
including by using a lottery allocation system.
Section 12: Using the Check & Visa® Debit
Card Features. If you have requested check or
Visa debit card features through your Account,
you authorize checks and Visa debit cards to be
issued as indicated in your Account Application.
You agree that each Account Holder is
authorized to write checks and engage in Visa
debit card transactions, and you understand
that if the checking feature is terminated, your
Visa debit card will be automatically cancelled.
Section 13: Verification. You authorize Schwab
to inquire from any source, including a consumer
reporting agency, as to your identity (as required
by federal law), creditworthiness and ongoing
eligibility for the Account of the Account Holders,
any other person referred to on this Application,
or any person who Schwab is later notiﬁed is
associated with or has an interest in the
Account (as well as such persons’ spouses if
they live in a community-property jurisdiction) at
account opening, at any time throughout the life
of the Account, and thereafter for debt
collection or investigative purposes.
Section 14: Required Arbitration Disclosures.
Regulatory authorities require that any brokerage
agreement containing a predispute arbitration
agreement must disclose that this agreement
contains a predispute arbitration clause. This
Agreement contains a predispute arbitration
clause. By signing an arbitration agreement, the
parties agree as follows:
• All parties to this Agreement are giving up the
right to sue each other in court, including the
right to a trial by jury, except as provided by the
rules of the arbitration forum in which a claim
is filed.
• Arbitration awards are generally final and
binding; a party’s ability to have a court reverse
or modify an arbitration award is very limited.
• The ability of the parties to obtain documents,
witness statements and other discovery is
generally more limited in arbitration than in
court proceedings.
• The arbitrators do not have to explain the
reason(s) for their award unless, in an eligible
case, a joint request for an explained decision
has been submitted by all parties to the panel
at least 20 days prior to the first scheduled
hearing date.
• The panel of arbitrators will typically include
a minority of arbitrators who were or are
affiliated with the securities industry.
• The rules of some arbitration forums may
impose time limits for bringing a claim in
arbitration. In some cases, a claim that is
ineligible for arbitration may be brought
in court.
• The rules of the arbitration forum in which the
claim is filed, and any amendments thereto,
shall be incorporated into this Agreement.
No person shall bring a putative or certified
class action to arbitration, nor seek to enforce
any predispute arbitration agreement against
any person who has initiated in court a putative
class action; or who is a member of a putative
class who has not opted out of the class with
respect to any claims encompassed by the
putative class action until:
1. the class certification is denied;
2. the class is decertified; or
3. the customer is excluded from the class
by the court.
Such forbearance to enforce an agreement to
arbitrate shall not constitute a waiver of any
rights under this Agreement except to the extent
stated herein.
Section 15: Arbitration Agreement. Any
controversy or claim arising out of or relating to
(i) this Agreement, any other agreement with
Schwab, an instruction or authorization provided
to Schwab or the breach of any such agreements, instructions, or authorizations; (ii) the
Account, any other Schwab account or Services;
(iii) transactions in the Account or any other
Schwab account; (iv) or in any way arising from
the relationship with Schwab, its parent,
subsidiaries, affiliates, officers, directors,
employees, agents or service providers (“Related
Third Parties”), including any controversy over the
arbitrability of a dispute, will be settled by
arbitration.
This arbitration agreement will be binding upon
and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and
their respective representatives, attorneys-in-fact,
heirs, successors, assigns and any other persons
having or claiming to have a legal or beneficial
interest in the Account, including court-appointed
trustees and receivers. This arbitration agreement will also inure to the benefit of third-party
service providers that assist Schwab in providing
Services (“Third-Party Service Providers”) and
such Third-Party Service Providers are deemed
to be third-party beneficiaries of this arbitration
agreement.
The parties agree that this arbitration agreement
will apply even if the application to open the
Account is denied and will survive the closure of
your Account and/or the termination of services
rendered under this Agreement.
Such arbitration will be conducted by, and
according to the securities arbitration rules
and regulations then in effect of, the Financial
Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) or any
national securities exchange that provides a
forum for the arbitration of disputes, provided
that Schwab is a member of such national
securities exchange at the time the arbitration
is initiated. Any party may initiate arbitration by
filing a written claim with FINRA or such eligible
national securities exchange. If arbitration before
FINRA or an eligible national securities exchange
is unavailable or impossible for any reason,
then such arbitration will be conducted by, and
according to the rules and regulations then in
effect of, the American Arbitration Association
(AAA). If arbitration before the AAA is unavailable or impossible for any reason, the parties
agree to have a court of competent jurisdiction
appoint three (3) arbitrators to resolve any and
©2014 Charles Schwab & Co., Inc. All rights reserved. Member SIPC. CS22220-03 (0914-5957) APP27753-12 (09/14)
COM68779-06
all disputes or controversies between or among
the parties. Each party shall bear its own initial
arbitration costs, which are determined by the
rules and regulations of the arbitration forum.
In the event of financial hardship, the arbitration
forum may waive certain costs in accordance
with such rules. At the conclusion of the hearing,
the arbitrators will decide how to assess the
costs of the arbitration among the parties.
Any award the arbitrator makes shall be final
and binding, and judgment on it may be entered
in any court having jurisdiction. This arbitration
agreement shall be enforced and interpreted
exclusively in accordance with applicable federal
laws of the United States, including the Federal
Arbitration Act. Any costs, fees or taxes involved
in enforcing the award shall be fully assessed
against and paid by the party resisting enforcement of said award.
For FINRA arbitrations, FINRA will appoint a
single public arbitrator in customer cases
decided by one arbitrator. In customer cases
decided by three arbitrators, investors have the
option of choosing an arbitration panel with two
public arbitrators and one non-public arbitrator
(Majority-Public Panel Rule) or a panel of all
public arbitrators (Optional All-Public Panel Rule).
If the customer declines to elect a panel
selection method in writing by the applicable
deadline, the Majority-Public Panel Rule for
selecting arbitrators will apply.
All notices from one party to the other involving
arbitration shall be considered to have been
fully given when so served, mailed by first-class,
certified or registered mail, or otherwise given
by other commercially accepted medium of
written notification.
In addition to the above provisions, if a party
to this Agreement is or becomes a non-U.S.
resident at the time of any controversy subject
to this arbitration agreement, such party
acknowledges and agrees to the following
additional provisions:
(1) The rules of the organization administering
the arbitration specifically provide for the
formal designation of the place at which the
arbitration is to be held.
(2) Entering into this Agreement constitutes
consent to submit to the personal jurisdiction
of the courts of the state of California, U.S.A.,
to interpret or enforce any or all of these
arbitration provisions. Judgment on any
arbitration award may be entered in any
court having jurisdiction, or application may
be made to such court for judicial acceptance
of the award and an order of enforcement,
as the case may be.
(3) The exclusive language to be used by the
parties and the arbitrators in the arbitration
proceedings shall be English. Any party
wishing an interpreter shall make all
arrangements directly with the interpreter
and shall assume all costs of the service.
(4) If a party is a foreign government or state,
state-owned or state-operated enterprise or
other instrumentality of a foreign government
or state, such party waives all rights of
sovereign immunity and neither the Federal
Act of State doctrine nor the doctrine of
sovereign immunity shall apply insofar as any
enforcement in courts located in the U.S.A.
is concerned.

checking accounts. For checking account transfer, please write a check and send it to Charles Schwab & Co., Inc. or take it to your local branch.)
Transfer only cash. Choose one:

Liquidate CD at maturity and transfer cash. Specify maturity date: __________________ (Submit two to three weeks before maturity date.)
Liquidate entire CD or annuity* immediately and transfer cash. I am aware of and acknowledge any penalty I will incur from an early withdrawal.
Liquidate a portion of annuity* immediately: $__________________. I am aware of and acknowledge any penalty I will incur in excess of the
penalty-free amount.
*Important Annuity Information: To transfer your annuity assets, a surrender or liquidation of your annuity contract assets must generally occur. This
may result in the following consequences: surrender charges, loss of vested living or death beneﬁts, taxable earnings and possible tax penalties. For
annuities not held in an IRA account, Section 1035 of the Internal Revenue Code allows you to make a tax-free exchange of one annuity contract for
another annuity contract. Some annuities require the submission of the original policy to complete a transfer; please consult with your Insurance Company and submit the original policy if needed.
I have read and I understand the important annuity information above, and it is my decision to proceed with the annuity transfer request.
3. Authorization to Transfer (All Schwab account holders/trustees are required to sign.)
Be sure to attach a complete copy of the most recent statement (dated within 90 days) for each account you are transferring to Schwab.
To Delivering Firm: Unless otherwise indicated in
the instruction in Section 2 on the previous page,
please transfer all assets in my account to
Charles Schwab & Co., Inc. (“Schwab”). I
understand that to the extent any assets in my
account are not readily transferable, with or
without penalties, such assets may not be
transferred within the time frames required by
New York Stock Exchange Rule 412 or similar
rule of the National Association of Securities
Dealers or other designated examining authority.
Unless otherwise indicated in the instruction in
Section 2, I authorize you to liquidate any
nontransferable proprietary money market fund
assets that are part of my account, and transfer
the resulting credit balance to the successor
custodian. I understand that you will contact me
with respect to the disposition of any other
assets in my securities account that are
nontransferable. I authorize you to deduct any
outstanding fees due you from the credit balance
in my account. If my account does not contain a
credit balance, or if the credit balance in the
account is insufﬁcient to satisfy any outstanding
fees due you, I authorize you to liquidate the
assets in my account to the extent necessary to
satisfy that obligation. If certiﬁcates or other
instruments in my account are in your physical
possession, I instruct you to transfer them in
good deliverable form, including afﬁxing any
necessary tax waivers, to enable the successor
custodian to transfer them in their name for the
purpose of sale, when and as directed by me. I

transfer instruction, you will cancel all open
orders for my account on your books. I afﬁrm that
I have destroyed or returned to you credit/debit
cards and/or unused checks issued to me in
connection with my securities account.
For Retirement Accounts: If this transfer of
account is for a qualiﬁed retirement account, I
have amended the applicable plan so that it
names Schwab as successor custodian. If this
transfer of account is for an IRA, I hereby adopt
or reafﬁrm my adoption of the Charles Schwab &
Co., Inc. Individual Retirement Plan. If I am
transferring an IRA and the IRA type indicated on
my statement is different from the IRA I currently
maintain at Schwab (e.g., Traditional IRA vs.
Rollover IRA), I hereby authorize Schwab to
commingle my IRA assets.
Fees: If the assets I am transferring are
considered nonstandard assets at Schwab (such
as limited partnerships), I understand that I will
be charged set-up and maintenance fees.
I understand that fractional shares of stock are
nontransferable, and I agree that any fractional
shares will be liquidated by the delivering ﬁrm
upon the transfer of the whole shares. The
delivering ﬁrm may or may not charge a fee for
this liquidation.
I understand that the delivering ﬁrm may or may
not assess account fees for the transfer and/or
termination of my account with them.
Mutual Fund Dividends and Capital Gains
(Account Transfers via ACAT Only):
I understand that my delivering broker may
provide Schwab with mutual fund dividends and
capital gains distribution instructions for each
mutual fund position, so that Schwab may
implement these instructions. In the event that
the instructions are not provided by the delivering
broker or the dividend and/or capital gains
distribution option requested is not available at
Schwab, the instructions will default to reinvest
(unless reinvestment isn’t available, in which case
dividends and capital gains will be paid in cash).
Liquidations: I understand that buying and selling
securities during the account transfer process
may complicate and delay my transfer. Some ﬁrms
may even “freeze” an account that is in the
process of being transferred, meaning that no
trades will be permitted until the transfer is
complete. As a result, I should avoid trading
during the transfer process. If I am concerned
about not being able to sell my stock during the
transfer process, I should consider selling and
waiting until I have received the proceeds before
entering the transfer request.
Cost Basis: I understand that Schwab will update
my account with the cost basis information
provided on a transfer statement by a delivering
ﬁrm. Because the accuracy of cost basis data
depends upon these third-party statements,
Schwab is not able to guarantee the availability,
accuracy or completeness of such cost basis
data. It is my obligation to conﬁrm the accuracy of
the information Schwab receives from the
delivering ﬁrm by visiting Schwab.com or calling
Schwab.

Transfer Your Account
Checklist for a Successful Transfer
Attach a complete copy of your most recent statement for
each account you are transferring (dated within 90 days).
Use a separate form for each account you are transferring.
Photocopies are acceptable.
Transfers should occur between “like” accounts; e.g., a joint
registered account should transfer to a joint account at
Schwab, an IRA to an IRA. (Otherwise, see Section 4 for
instructions.)
Complete all information and have all account holders sign.
Mail your completed form to: Charles Schwab & Co., Inc.,
P.O. Box 52114, Phoenix, AZ 85072-2114.
Additional Information
• Visit www.schwab.com for a status update on your transfer or
to initiate your transfer online.
• To transfer funds from one Schwab account to another, go to
the Transfer and Payments tab on www.schwab.com or use
the Letter of Authorization (LOA) Transfer Assets Between
Schwab Accounts form.
• To obtain additional forms, visit www.schwab.com or call
1-800-435-4000.
Types of Transfers
Brokerage, Trust Company or Dividend Reinvestment Plan
Account Transfers
• If you want dividend reinvestment on your stocks, you will
need to call 1-800-435-4000 after your transfer is complete.
Mutual Fund Company Transfers
• If dividend reinvestment is not available for your shares,
Schwab will automatically pay all future dividends and capital
gains distributions in cash.
• Requests to sell mutual fund positions are dependent upon
the delivering ﬁrm receiving and processing the request and
may take several weeks to complete.
• If your fund is not transferable as shares, you may consider
initiating a redemption at the fund company and request that
they deliver cash to your Schwab account for a faster transfer.
Bank or Credit Union Transfers
• If you are transferring a maturing certiﬁcate of deposit,
submit the transfer request no more than two or three weeks
before the maturity date. Otherwise, you may incur early
withdrawal penalties.
• If a phone number for your bank is not on your account
statement, please write one in to prevent any delays.
• Your bank may charge a wire fee to transfer funds to Schwab.
Insurance Company Annuity Transfers/Exchanges
We recommend that you contact your existing insurer to verify
the status of any charges or beneﬁts before you proceed with
your transfer/exchange request. Please also note that, in
order to process your request, additional documentation and
information may be required by Schwab or the current insurer.
Rollovers from Company Retirement Plans
Please consult with your plan administrator before initiating
a transfer request. Then, to roll over your 401(k) or another
employer-sponsored retirement plan, call a Schwab Rollover
Consultant at 1-877-412-6116. From ﬁlling out paperwork to
answering your questions and helping you work with your plan
administrator, a dedicated Rollover Consultant will personally
manage the process for you from start to ﬁnish, making it easy
to roll over to a new IRA.
Contingent Orders
Schwab will not accept or honor any oral or written instructions
from you to purchase or sell securities with the proceeds of the
cash and/or transferred securities before we have actual receipt
of your assets and the transfer process is complete.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long will it take?
How do I sell assets prior to transfer?
Depending on the type of securities, a typical transfer will take
approximately three weeks. However, some may take up to six
weeks or even longer.
Please remember that while we make every effort to ensure a
swift transfer, the actual transfer time depends on how quickly
securities are liquidated and released or transferred by the
ﬁnancial institution currently holding your investments.
If there are assets that need to be sold before being transferred
to Schwab, please instruct the delivering ﬁrm to sell assets in
your brokerage or trust company account and cancel dividend
reinvestment prior to sending this form to Schwab. This helps
ensure that liquidations proceed efﬁciently, because many
brokerage or trust companies will not accept instructions from
Schwab to sell assets.
On a mutual fund transfer where the fund is held directly with the
mutual fund company, you may utilize Section 2B of the Transfer
Your Account form to facilitate the liquidation (sell).
Will I be charged a fee?
An exit fee may be charged by your previous ﬁnancial institution
upon receiving your transfer request.
Are my funds transferable?
Schwab can transfer over 6,000 different mutual funds. Some
ﬁnancial ﬁrms issue their own (proprietary) mutual funds, and
these funds typically cannot be transferred to any ﬁrm. Also, there
are some mutual fund companies with whom Schwab has not
established an agreement with the fund issuer to hold a particular
mutual fund. If the mutual fund cannot be transferred, then you
may be notiﬁed by mail.
Questions? Call 1-800-435-4000.

C. Required Arbitration Disclosures. Regulatory
authorities require that any brokerage agreement containing a predispute arbitration
agreement must disclose that this agreement
contains a predispute arbitration clause. This
Agreement contains a predispute arbitration
clause. By signing an arbitration agreement, the
parties agree as follows:
• All parties to this Agreement are giving up the
right to sue each other in court, including the
right to a trial by jury, except as provided by the
rules of the arbitration forum in which a claim
is filed.
• Arbitration awards are generally final and
binding; a party’s ability to have a court reverse
or modify an arbitration award is very limited.
• The ability of the parties to obtain documents,
witness statements and other discovery is
generally more limited in arbitration than in
court proceedings.
• The arbitrators do not have to explain the
reason(s) for their award unless, in an eligible
case, a joint request for an explained decision
has been submitted by all parties to the panel
at least 20 days prior to the first scheduled
hearing date.
• The panel of arbitrators will typically include
a minority of arbitrators who were or are
affiliated with the securities industry.
• The rules of some arbitration forums may
impose time limits for bringing a claim in
arbitration. In some cases, a claim that is
ineligible for arbitration may be brought
in court.
• The rules of the arbitration forum in which the
claim is filed, and any amendments thereto,
shall be incorporated into this Agreement.
No person shall bring a putative or certified
class action to arbitration, nor seek to enforce
any predispute arbitration agreement against
any person who has initiated in court a putative
class action; or who is a member of a putative
COM68779-06
class who has not opted out of the class with
respect to any claims encompassed by the
putative class action until:
1. the class certification is denied;
2. the class is decertified; or
3. the customer is excluded from the class
by the court.
Such forbearance to enforce an agreement to
arbitrate shall not constitute a waiver of any
rights under this Agreement except to the extent
stated herein.
Arbitration Agreement. Any controversy or claim
arising out of or relating to (i) this Agreement,
any other agreement with Schwab, an instruction
or authorization provided to Schwab or the
breach of any such agreements, instructions,
or authorizations; (ii) the Account, any other
Schwab account or Services; (iii) transactions
in the Account or any other Schwab account;
(iv) or in any way arising from the relationship
with Schwab, its parent, subsidiaries, affiliates,
officers, directors, employees, agents or service
providers (“Related Third Parties”), including any
controversy over the arbitrability of a dispute, will
be settled by arbitration.
This arbitration agreement will be binding upon
and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and
their respective representatives, attorneys-in-fact,
heirs, successors, assigns and any other persons
having or claiming to have a legal or beneficial
interest in the Account, including court-appointed
trustees and receivers. This arbitration agreement will also inure to the benefit of third-party
service providers that assist Schwab in providing
Services (“Third-Party Service Providers”) and
such Third-Party Service Providers are deemed
to be third-party beneficiaries of this arbitration
agreement.
The parties agree that this arbitration agreement
will apply even if the application to open the
Account is denied and will survive the closure of
your Account and/or the termination of services
rendered under this Agreement.
Such arbitration will be conducted by, and
according to the securities arbitration rules
and regulations then in effect of, the Financial
Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) or any
national securities exchange that provides a
forum for the arbitration of disputes, provided
that Schwab is a member of such national
securities exchange at the time the arbitration
is initiated. Any party may initiate arbitration by
filing a written claim with FINRA or such eligible
national securities exchange. If arbitration before
FINRA or an eligible national securities exchange
is unavailable or impossible for any reason,
then such arbitration will be conducted by, and
according to the rules and regulations then in
effect of, the American Arbitration Association
(AAA). If arbitration before the AAA is unavailable or impossible for any reason, the parties
agree to have a court of competent jurisdiction
appoint three (3) arbitrators to resolve any and
all disputes or controversies between or among
the parties. Each party shall bear its own initial
arbitration costs, which are determined by the
rules and regulations of the arbitration forum.
In the event of financial hardship, the arbitration
forum may waive certain costs in accordance
with such rules. At the conclusion of the hearing,
the arbitrators will decide how to assess the
costs of the arbitration among the parties.
Any award the arbitrator makes shall be final
and binding, and judgment on it may be entered
in any court having jurisdiction. This arbitration
agreement shall be enforced and interpreted
exclusively in accordance with applicable federal
laws of the United States, including the Federal
Arbitration Act. Any costs, fees or taxes involved
in enforcing the award shall be fully assessed
against and paid by the party resisting enforcement of said award.
For FINRA arbitrations, FINRA will appoint a
single public arbitrator in customer cases
decided by one arbitrator. In customer cases
decided by three arbitrators, investors have the
option of choosing an arbitration panel with two
Page 3 of 3
public arbitrators and one non-public arbitrator
(Majority-Public Panel Rule) or a panel of all
public arbitrators (Optional All-Public Panel Rule).
If the customer declines to elect a panel
selection method in writing by the applicable
deadline, the Majority-Public Panel Rule for
selecting arbitrators will apply.
All notices from one party to the other involving
arbitration shall be considered to have been
fully given when so served, mailed by first-class,
certified or registered mail, or otherwise given
by other commercially accepted medium of
written notification.
In addition to the above provisions, if a party
to this Agreement is or becomes a non-U.S.
resident at the time of any controversy subject
to this arbitration agreement, such party
acknowledges and agrees to the following
additional provisions:
(1) The rules of the organization administering
the arbitration specifically provide for the
formal designation of the place at which the
arbitration is to be held.
2) Entering into this Agreement constitutes
consent to submit to the personal jurisdiction
of the courts of the state of California, U.S.A.,
to interpret or enforce any or all of these
arbitration provisions. Judgment on any
arbitration award may be entered in any
court having jurisdiction, or application may
be made to such court for judicial acceptance
of the award and an order of enforcement,
as the case may be.
Schwab One® Brokerage Account Application Agreement
In addition to the above provisions, if you are
or become a non-U.S. resident at the time of
any controversy subject to this arbitration
agreement, you are governed by additional
provisions contained in the Schwab One Account
Agreement.

parties and the arbitrators in the arbitration
proceedings shall be English. Any party
wishing an interpreter shall make all

Cash Features Program
General Terms and Conditions
Page 1 of 2
For detailed information, please see the Account Agreement and the
Cash Features Disclosure Statement applicable to your account.
How the Cash
Features Program
Works
Our Cash Features Program allows you to earn a return on the uninvested cash balances
in your account by automatically placing (“sweeping”) cash balances into a sweep vehicle
until such balances are invested by you or otherwise needed to satisfy obligations arising in
connection with your account or by paying interest on the eligible free credit balances in your
eligible account.
Available Cash
Feature Products
The available cash feature products currently consist of (1) interest payments by Schwab on the
eligible free credit balances in your eligible account (the “Schwab One® Interest” feature); (2) one
or more afﬁliated money market mutual funds (the “Money Fund Sweep” feature); or (3) interestbearing Deposit Accounts at our afﬁliated bank, Schwab Bank (the “Bank Sweep” feature).
Eligibility
Eligibility for these cash features is based on the registered ownership of the account
(for example, individual accounts are eligible for some cash features that IRA and retirement
accounts are not). Some cash features also require a minimum Household Balance as determined
by the value of eligible assets in your accounts and the accounts of other members of your
household. A description of how we determine the Household Balance is contained in your
account’s pricing guide. For details on eligibility, please see the Cash Features Disclosure
Statement applicable to your account.
Rate of Return
The rates of return for the different cash feature products vary over time. Current rates can be
obtained by contacting your Financial Consultant or by calling us at 1-800-435-4000. If you
already have an account, you can visit our website at www.schwab.com/cash.
• The rate of return on the Schwab One Interest feature is set by us. We may seek to pay as
low a rate as possible consistent with our views of competitive necessities. With certain
exceptions, the rate will be tiered based upon account type and the overall household value
of your account(s) with Schwab.
• Money market mutual funds in the Money Fund Sweep feature seek to achieve the highest
rate of return (less fees and expenses) consistent with prudence and their investment objectives.
• The rate of return on the Bank Sweep feature is set by Schwab Bank, which may seek to pay
as low a rate as possible consistent with its views of competitive necessities. With certain
exceptions, the rate will be tiered based upon account type and the overall household value
of your account(s) with Schwab and Schwab Bank.
• There is no guarantee that the yield on any particular cash feature will remain higher than
others over any given period. The rate of return on any cash feature may be lower than that of
similar investments offered outside of the Cash Features Program.
Please note: The automatic investment of your free credit balances, including the frequency and the amount of each sweep,
is governed by the terms and conditions set forth in the Account Agreement applicable to your account. The material in this

Rate of Return
(Continued)
Duty to Monitor
The Cash Features Program should not be viewed as a long-term investment option. If you
desire to maintain cash balances for other than a short-term period and/or are seeking the
highest yields currently available in the market, please contact your Schwab representative to
discuss investment options that may be available outside of the Cash Features Program to help
maximize your return potential consistent with your investment objectives and risk tolerance.
• You must monitor and determine the best option for your cash.
• For purposes of FDIC insurance of deposits held under the Bank Sweep feature: You are
responsible for monitoring the total amount of deposits that you hold with Schwab Bank,
directly or through an intermediary, in order for you to determine the extent of deposit
insurance coverage available to you on your deposits, including the Deposit Accounts.
Schwab is not responsible for any insured or uninsured portion of the Deposit Accounts or
any other deposits.
Beneﬁts to Schwab
We may charge fees and receive certain beneﬁts under the different cash features. A portion
of these fees and beneﬁts may be shared with your investment professional. Because of
these fees and beneﬁts, we have a ﬁnancial incentive to select the particular sweep vehicles
included in our program.
Differing Risks and
Account Protection
The different cash features are subject to different risks and account protection:
• The Schwab One® Interest feature is not subject to market risk and value loss but is subject
to the risk of Schwab’s failure. In the unlikely event Schwab fails, cash is eligible for SIPC
coverage up to a limit of $250,000 (including principal and interest) per client in each
insurable capacity (e.g., individual or joint).
• Money market mutual funds in the Money Fund Sweep feature invest in high-quality, shortterm securities and seek to maintain a stable value but are subject to market risks and
potential value loss. They are not bank accounts and are not subject to FDIC insurance
protection. They are instead covered by SIPC, which protects against the custodial risk (and
not a decline in market value) when a brokerage ﬁrm fails by replacing missing securities and
cash up to a limit of $500,000, of which $250,000 may be cash.
• The Bank Sweep feature is not subject to market risk and value loss but is subject to the
risk of Schwab Bank’s failure. In the unlikely event Schwab Bank fails, deposits at Schwab
Bank are eligible for FDIC insurance protection up to a limit of $250,000 (including principal
and interest) per depositor in each insurable capacity (e.g., individual or joint). This limit
includes any other deposits you may have at Schwab Bank outside of this program. You are
responsible for monitoring your bank balances in this program and the balances in any
of your other bank accounts at Schwab Bank to determine if these, in total, exceed FDIC
insurance limits. Monies held in the Bank Sweep feature are not covered by SIPC.
Changes and
Amendments to the
Cash Features

investment options available or eligibility rules for cash feature products, upon 30 days’
advance written notice.
• Schwab may move your balances to an eligible cash features product in the event you
become ineligible for an existing cash feature upon 30 days’ advance written notice.
