This is required for Minors
who are residents of states
governed by either the
Uniform Gifts to Minors Act or
the Uniform Transfers to
Minors Act (UGMA or UTMA).
Please indicate the age for termination of custodianship and the state law under which this Custodial account will be
governed.
Age of Termination
Governing State Law
The age of custodianship termination varies by state, although many states set the maximum age for termination at 21. If
you do not indicate a termination age, the account will be set up using the default age for termination in the Custodian’s
state of residence. If the termination age selected is different from the state’s default age, the Custodian agrees and
acknowledges that he or she is responsible under UGMA or UTMA for determining the proper termination age and that
Schwab is not responsible for doing so. If you have questions about the termination age, please consult your legal or tax
advisor. Schwab may restrict the Custodian’s access to the account and register the assets in the beneficiary’s name
upon the beneficiary reaching the age of termination.
You understand that by electing to extend custodianship to age 25, if applicable, you may lose your annual exclusion from
federal gift tax. You should consult with an attorney or tax advisor before making this election. (Note: Only certain states
allow the custodianship to be extended to the Minor’s 25th birthday. This election may be exercised only in those states
that specifically provide for it.)

Trusted Contact Designation
A Trusted Contact Person (“Trusted Contact”)* is a resource Schwab, and your advisor (if you have one), may contact on
your behalf, if necessary, to attempt to address concerns regarding potential financial exploitation, or in communicating
with you regarding issues related to your account(s). A Trusted Contact will not be able to view your account information,
execute transactions in your account(s), or inquire about account activity, unless that person has that authority through
another role on the account(s), such as a trustee or power of attorney. Providing Schwab with Trusted Contact
information is voluntary. We encourage you to provide two Trusted Contacts in the event that one is not reachable in the
future.
• Schwab suggests that your Trusted Contact(s) be someone other than your financial consultant or investment advisor.
• You may name up to two Trusted Contacts.
• The person(s) you name as Trusted Contact(s) will be the Trusted Contact(s) on all of your Schwab accounts, as
provided for in your account agreement.
• For multiple-party accounts, each party can name separate Trusted Contacts.
• The Trusted Contact(s) must be at least 18 years old.

your current contact information, health status (including physical or mental capacity), or the identity of any legal
guardian, executor, trustee, or holder of a power of attorney on your account(s); or as otherwise permitted by FINRA

Brokerage Features
Your Consent to Enroll in Schwab's Cash Features Program
The Cash Features Program is a service that offers the Bank Sweep feature (a “Cash Feature”) to permit your uninvested
cash (the “Free Credit Balance”) to earn income while you decide how those funds should be invested longer term.
You understand that additional information about the Cash Features Program and each Cash Feature is available in the
Cash Features Disclosure Statement.
By signing this Application, you consent to having the Free Credit Balance in your brokerage account included in the Cash
Features Program, as described in the Cash Features Disclosure Statement.
The Bank Sweep feature is designated as the Cash Feature for brokerage accounts of account holders residing in the U.S.
Through the Bank Sweep feature, Schwab automatically makes deposits to and withdrawals from deposit accounts at one
or more banks affiliated with Schwab (“Sweep Banks”). Your deposits at each Sweep Bank are insured by the Federal
Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) up to $250,000 (including principal and accrued interest) when aggregated with all
other deposits held by you in the same insurable capacity at that bank. Your funds may be placed in a Sweep Bank in
excess of the FDIC insurance limit. In certain limited circumstances, Schwab may place your funds in a sweep money
market fund. Please see the Cash Features Disclosure Statement for additional information.
You understand and agree that Schwab can (1) make changes to the terms and conditions of the Cash Features Program;
(2) make changes to the terms and conditions of any Cash Feature; (3) change, add, or discontinue any Cash Feature; (4)
change your investment from one Cash Feature to another if you become ineligible for your current Cash Feature or your
current Cash Feature is discontinued; and (5) make any other changes to the Cash Features Program or Cash Feature as
allowed by law. Schwab will notify you in writing of changes to the terms of the Cash Features, changes to the Cash
Features we make available, or changes to the Cash Features Program prior to the effective date of the proposed change.

capacity as well as any applicable representative or fiduciary capacity. The terms “we,” “us,” “our” and “Schwab” refer to

income; (3) I am a U.S. person (a U.S. citizen or U.S. resident alien); and (4) I am exempt from Foreign Account Tax
Compliance Act (FATCA) reporting. I understand that if I have been notified by the IRS that I am subject to backup
withholding as a result of dividend or interest underreporting and I have not received a notice from the IRS advising
me that backup withholding is terminated, I must cross out item 2 above.
The Internal Revenue Service does not require your
consent to any provision of this document other than
the certifications required to avoid backup withholding.

Account Application Agreement
Page 1 of 3
Client Copy - 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 the 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 the
Account Application; (c) you agree that all
assets in the Account belong to the beneficiary
and that you will only use the assets for the
beneficiary’s benefit; (d) you agree to transfer
and deliver to the beneficiary all securities and
other property held in this Account promptly
upon the beneficiary attaining the age specified
by the governing state law for termination of
the custodianship; (e) upon the termination of
the custodianship, you agree to provide
Schwab, upon request, with the beneficiary’s
address, phone number and any other
information that may assist Schwab in
contacting the beneficiary; (f) you instruct
Schwab, without further notice or instruction,
to register the Account into the beneficiary’s
name as soon as commercially practicable
after the termination of the custodianship; (g)
you acknowledge that Schwab may restrict
your access to the account upon termination of
the custodianship; (h) no additional
authorizations from third parties are required
for you to open the Account and effect
transactions therein; (i) except as you have
otherwise indicated on your Account
Application or in writing to us, (1) 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 (2) 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 (j) 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 the Account upon request, unless
you notify us otherwise in writing. If you
maintain more than one account at Schwab for
the Minor, you authorize Schwab to transfer
assets between the Minor’s 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 the 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 in
your best interest. Your obligation includes an
affirmative duty to monitor and stay informed
about the Account and your investments and
respond to changes as you deem appropriate.
Unless we otherwise agree with you in writing,
Schwab does not monitor your account(s) or
investments and has no obligation to update an
investment recommendation, financial advice,
or financial plan we may give you. Such
recommendation, financial advice, or financial
plan only applies at the point in time we
provide it to you.
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 the 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 the
Account. We may elect anytime, with or without
notice, to make any debit balance or other
obligation related to the 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 the
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 the 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 indebtedness
to Schwab.
Section 8: Liquidations.
Whenever it is necessary for our protection or
to satisfy a 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 the 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.
We may transfer property from any non-
retirement brokerage account in which you
have an interest to any other brokerage
accounts 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 debt 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 or notice of purchase,
sale, transfer or cancellation to you. No
demand 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 according to our Disclosure of
Credit Terms and Policies.
Section 10: Using the Check Feature.
If you have requested check features through
the Minor’s Account, you authorize checks to
be issued as indicated in the Account
Application. You understand that you are
authorized to write checks for the benefit of the
Minor.
Section 11: Verification.
You authorize Schwab to inquire from any
source, including a consumer reporting agency,
as to the 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 about whom Schwab is later notified as
associated with or having 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 12: 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 13: 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 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.
Section 14: Electronic Copies.
The electronically stored copy of your (or your
agent’s) signature, any written instructions or
authorizations, the Account Application and the
Agreement and Disclosures are considered to
be the true, complete, valid, authentic and
enforceable record, admissible in judicial,
administrative or arbitration proceedings to the
same extent as if the documents and records
were originally generated and maintained in
printed form. You agree to not contest the
admissibility or enforceability of Schwab’s
electronically stored copy of such documents in
any proceeding between you and Schwab.
Section 15: Unclaimed Property.
If no activity occurs in the Account within the
time period specified by applicable state law,
the Account may be transferred to the
appropriate state.
Section 16: Information About SIPC.
To obtain information about Securities Investor
Protection Corporation (SIPC), including an
explanatory SIPC brochure, please contact
SIPC at www.sipc.org or 1-202-371-8300.
Section 17: Impartial Lottery for Securities
Subject to Partial Call or Partial Redemption.
If Schwab holds securities for you in street
name, in Schwab’s name, or in bearer form that
are subject to partial call or partial redemption,
then in the case of a partial call or partial
redemption Schwab will use an impartial lottery
system to select the securities to be called or
redeemed from among accounts holding those
securities. For a description of Schwab’s lottery
system, please visit www.schwab.com/
PartialCalls. If you would like a printed
description of Schwab’s lottery system mailed
to you, please contact a Schwab representative

Losses could include the money in your account. If unauthorized activity
occurs, you agree to cooperate during the investigation and to complete
any report or affidavit we may request.
Also, if your statement shows transfers that you didn’t make or authorize,
tell us at once. If you do not tell us within 60 days after the statement was
mailed to you, you may not get back any money you lost after the 60 days
if we can prove that we could have stopped someone from taking the
money if you had told us in time. If a good reason kept you from telling us
(such as a long trip or hospital stay), we will extend the time periods.
Disclosure of Account Information.
We may disclose your name and/or information about your account or
your transactions to our agents and affiliates in order to facilitate your
transfer requests. We may also disclose such information to third parties

Periodic Statements.
Schwab will send you a monthly account statement for your Schwab One
brokerage account unless there are no transfers in a particular month. In
any case, you will get the statement at least quarterly.
All electronic funds transfers posted to your account during the month
are listed on your statement.
Our Liability for Failure to Make Transfers.
If we do not complete a transfer to or from your account on time or in the
correct amount according to our agreement with you, we will be liable for
your losses or damages. However, there are some exceptions. We are
not liable, for instance, if:
• Through no fault of ours, you do not have enough money in your
account to make the transfer.
• Your account is restricted (because of a court order or similar reason),
and we are not permitted to make the transaction.
• Circumstances beyond our control (such as fire or flood) prevent the
transfer, despite reasonable precautions that we have taken.
• Any Automated Clearing House network or other third-party
communication system from which we require information to complete
transactions was not working properly.
There may be other exceptions permitted by law.

statement on which the problem or error appeared.
We need the following information:
• Your name and account number,
• A description of the error or the transfer you are unsure about,
• A clear explanation of why you believe it is an error or why you need
more information, and
• The dollar amount of the suspected error.
If you tell us orally, we may require that you send us your complaint or
question in writing within 10 business days.
We will determine whether an error occurred within 10 business days
after we hear from you and will correct any error promptly. If we need
more time, however, we may take up to 45 days to investigate your
complaint or question. If we decide to do this, we will credit your account
within 10 business days for the amount you think is in error so that you
will have the use of the money during the time it takes us to complete our
investigation. If we ask you to put your complaint or question in writing
and we do not receive it within 10 business days, we may not credit your
account.
For errors involving new accounts, point-of-sale or foreign-initiated
transactions, we may take up to 90 days to investigate your complaint or
question. For new accounts, we may take up to 20 business days to
credit your account for the amount you think is in error.

Cash Features Program
General Terms and Conditions
Page 1 of 2
The automatic investment of your free credit balance, including the frequency and the amount of each sweep, is
governed by the terms and conditions set forth in the Cash Features Disclosure Statement and in the Account
Agreement applicable to your account. The material in this document is intended for informational purposes only. If
there is any conflict between the descriptions in this document and the terms of the Cash Features Disclosure
Statement, the Cash Features Disclosure Statement will control.
How the Cash
Features Program
Works
Schwab’s Cash Features Program is the service (described in the Cash Features Disclosure
Statement) that we provide to automatically invest, or “sweep,” the free credit balance in your
account into a liquid investment to earn interest. The program permits you to earn income
while you decide how those funds should be invested longer term.
Available Cash
Feature
The available cash features currently consist of:
• The free credit balance in your eligible account (the “Schwab One
®
Interest feature”), on
which Schwab pays interest;
• Interest-bearing deposit accounts at one or more of our affiliated banks (the “Bank Sweep
feature” for most accounts and the “Bank Sweep for Benefit Plans feature” for retirement
plan accounts); and
• For some accounts, one or more affiliated money market mutual funds (the “Money Fund
Sweep feature”).
Eligibility Eligibility for each cash feature is based on the registered ownership and the type of account.
Not all account registrations and account types will be eligible for all cash features. Some
account registrations and account types will be eligible for only one cash feature. Please see
your Account Application and the Cash Features Disclosure Statement for more complete
eligibility details.
Duty to Monitor
Eligibility for Cash
Features
It is your responsibility to monitor your eligibility for the cash features and determine the best
cash feature available to you. Schwab is not responsible for contacting you if you are, or later
become, eligible for other higher-yielding cash features.
Interest Rates and
Yields
The interest rates and yields for the different cash features vary over time. There is no
guarantee that the interest rate and yield on any particular cash feature will be or will remain
higher than the interest rate and yield on any other cash features over any period. Current
interest rates and yields can be obtained by contacting your independent investment advisor
or 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/sweep. If your account is an Advisor
Services account, please contact your advisor, visit www.schwab.com/SA_sweep, or call
Schwab Alliance at 1-800-515-2157.
• The interest rate on the Schwab One Interest feature is set by Schwab. We have the option
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 the overall free credit balance within
your account.
• The interest rate on the Bank Sweep feature is set by our affiliated bank(s), which also has
the option to pay as low a rate as possible consistent with their views of competitive
necessities. Retirement accounts will be paid a reasonable rate consistent with applicable
legal and regulatory requirements. With certain exceptions, the rate will be tiered based
upon your account type and the combined amount of your account’s Bank Sweep deposits at
our affiliated bank(s).

Interest Rates and
Yields
(Continued)
• The interest rate on the Bank Sweep for Benefit Plans feature is set by our affiliated bank(s),
which intend to pay interest consistent with reasonable rate provisions of applicable legal
and regulatory requirements. This can be lower than some competitors’ rates. Interest rates
do not vary by tiers and do not vary based on your cash balances.
• Money market mutual funds offered through the Money Fund Sweep feature seek to achieve
the highest yield (less fees and expenses) consistent with prudence and their investment
objectives.
Cash features are not intended to be long-term investments, and yields on any of our cash
features can be lower than those of similar investments or deposit accounts offered outside
the Cash Features Program. 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 or visit www.schwab.com/cash for 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. If your account is an
Advisor Services account, please contact your advisor, visit www.schwab.com/SA_cash, or
call Schwab Alliance at 1-800-515-2157.
Benefits to Schwab We charge fees and receive certain benefits under the different cash features. We share a
portion of these fees and benefits with our investment professionals. Because of these fees
and benefits, we have a financial incentive to select the particular cash features included in
the Cash Features 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 that 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). Free credit balances held at Schwab are not
insured or guaranteed by the FDIC.
• The Bank Sweep and Bank Sweep for Benefit Plans features are not subject to market risk
and value loss but are subject to the risk of the failure of one or more of our affiliated banks.
In the unlikely event that one or more of our affiliated banks fails, deposits at each 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, joint, and plan participant).
This limit includes any other deposits you may have at that bank outside of the Bank Sweep
and Bank Sweep for Benefit Plans features. You are responsible for monitoring your bank
balances in the Bank Sweep and Bank Sweep for Benefit Plans features and the balances
in any of your other bank accounts at each affiliated bank to determine if these, in total,
exceed FDIC insurance limits. Monies held in both features are not covered by SIPC.
• Money market mutual funds in the Money Fund Sweep feature invest in high-quality, short-
term 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. Shares held through the
Money Fund Sweep feature are not considered cash, but are treated as securities for SIPC
coverage.

Keeping Your Email Address Current and Actions Schwab or
Schwab Bank Will Take If There Is a Problem
Please note that after three consecutive months of unsuccessful electronic
delivery attempts of your tax forms, trade confirmations, or statements and
account documents, your account(s) will revert back to postal mail delivery.
This will cancel your enrollment in Paperless Documents and withdraw your
consent to receive Paperless Documents.
It is your responsibility to notify Schwab or Schwab Bank of any change in
your email address by logging in to the Schwab site and going to Service >
My Profile > Email Addresses or using the contact information above. In
addition to the unenrollment process outlined above, if we receive any
indication either that the email notification did not reach you successfully or

Security and Privacy Information
Unless expressly stated, email notifications for Paperless Documents are
not encrypted. For security and confidentiality, unencrypted emails will not
include your name, full account number, or any other personal identifier.
Be aware, however, that some email addresses may use part of your name
or your entire name. If you use a work email address, your employer or
other employees may have access to your email. To help you identify your
account, we may include some portion, but not all, of your account
number. Schwab or Schwab Bank may use a vendor to deliver Paperless
Documents.
Whether Schwab, Schwab Bank, or a vendor delivers the documents,
Schwab’s privacy policy applies.
Records and Disclosures Included in Schwab and Schwab Bank’s
Paperless Documents Program
Tax Forms (“eTax Documents”)
A tax document provides important information you need to complete your
tax returns. Much of the information we provide in tax documents is also
reported to the IRS. This includes any corrected tax documents and
accompanying notices. When a tax document is ready, we will send an
email notification with the subject line “IMPORTANT TAX RETURN
DOCUMENT AVAILABLE” and containing a web link to the document
available after you log in.
Trade Confirmations (“eConfirms”)
A trade confirmation is an official record of your securities transaction. It
includes the price, number of shares, and the commission we charge you,
as well as disclosures required under federal law. If you choose to receive
paperless trade confirmations, the terms and conditions of your
transaction will appear in the email and on a web page you can link to
from the email. Your consent to receive paperless trade confirmations also
includes paperless delivery of prospectuses or other regulatory
information we provide to you at the time of your trade. Your consent to
receive paperless trade confirmations also covers paperless delivery of
Trade Confirmation Reports (TCRs) if you elect this alternative as part of
your Managed Account enrollment.
Statements and Account Documents (“eStatements”)
An account statement provides important information about your account,
including the price and quantity of securities you hold, the
transactions conducted, other activity in your account, and terms and
conditions governing your account. Account statements are sent at the end
of each month in which you conducted activity in your account or at the end
of each calendar quarter, regardless of any account activity. With your
account statements, we often include accompanying account-related
notices and other regulatory information, including, but not limited to,
Schwab’s Statement of Financial Condition, pricing changes, changes to
payment features, privacy policy, annual notices, amendments to your
account agreements, and any other documents, notices, and disclosures
required by law or regulatory rules to be provided to you. At account
opening and from time to time thereafter, we also send you notifications
about your account. Collectively, we call these documents, notices, and
disclosures “account documents.” When you consent to paperless account
statements, you also consent to paperless account documents.
Investment Advisory Service Disclosures (A Sub-Category of Account
Documents)
Your consent to paperless Statements and Account Documents includes
investment advisory program disclosures, brochure supplements with
information about individual Schwab representatives, and related materials
such as periodic updates or annual summaries of any changes to those
documents (“Form ADV Disclosures”) as Schwab makes these available in
the future. The investment advisory programs may include Schwab Private
Client™, Schwab Managed Portfolios™, Schwab Managed Account
Services™, the Schwab Advisor Network
®
, Schwab Intelligent Portfolios
Solutions™, and other similar advisory services, and fee-based Financial
Planning Services. In addition to Schwab’s and its affiliates’ own Form ADV
Disclosures, your consent also covers ADV Disclosures from third-party
investment advisors whose services you select through Schwab. Paperless
Form ADV Disclosures may accompany your account statements or be sent
independently. If the third party does not make its Form ADV Disclosures
available electronically, you will instead receive the standard printed
materials by postal mail.
Shareholder Materials (“Electronic Delivery”)
Shareholder materials include regulatory information such as prospectuses;
prospectus supplements; quarterly, semi-annual, and annual reports; and
proxy materials. You will receive an email notification with a web link to
shareholder materials if you have a position in an equity or mutual fund as
of the record date for a particular shareholder distribution and the materials
are made available electronically by the issuer or third party. If the issuer or
third party does not make shareholder materials available electronically,
you will instead receive the standard printed materials by postal mail. By
providing your consent to receive electronic delivery of shareholder
material, you also consent to electronic householding. This means that if
you and someone else enroll in this paperless service using the same email
address, we may send one email announcement to this email address if
each account holds securities of the same issuer. This avoids duplicate
mailings of shareholder documents. If you no longer want electronic
householding of your shareholder materials, you must modify your
Paperless Documents enrollment as described above. Your shareholder
materials may include electronic proxies. You may elect to vote your proxy
online at proxyvote.com by entering the control number included in your
email announcement and the last four digits of your Social Security number
or Taxpayer Identification Number as your PIN.
Addendum for Schwab Bank Paperless Statements
(“eStatements”)
Schwab Bank Paperless Documents categories include statements and
account documents and tax forms. The above information regarding the
purpose and effect of your consent, including how to request paper
delivery, how to ask questions, how to withdraw consent for paperless
delivery, electronic notification of ready statements, keeping a current email
address, hardware and software requirements, and security and privacy
information, are all applicable to Schwab Bank accounts. Paperless
Documents include account statements and tax forms. In addition, account
statements for your Investor Checking account(s), Investor Savings
account(s), and Pledged Asset Line
®
account(s) provide important
information about your accounts, including the account balance; the
transactions conducted; other activity in your accounts; and other
information, terms, and conditions governing your accounts.
