Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated (Merrill or we) is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission

(SEC) as both a broker-dealer and an investment adviser, and is a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA)

and the Securities Investor Protection Corporation (www.sipc.org). Managed Account Advisors LLC (MAA), our subsidiary, is also

an SEC-registered investment advisor.

You can access free and simple tools to research firms and financial professionals at investor.gov/CRS, which provides educational

materials about broker-dealers, investment advisers and investing. Brokerage and investment advisory services and fees differ

and it is important for you to understand these differences. This Client Relationship Summary (Form CRS) provides a summary of

the types of services we provide and how you pay.

At Merrill, we offer both brokerage and investment advisory services. You choose how you want to work with us:

This Form CRS and the Summary of Programs and Services provides an overview of our primary programs.

What investment services and advice can you provide me?

BROKERAGE SERVICES

In a brokerage account (Account), you pa

y commissions and

other sales fees on a per transaction basis. We may recommend

investments to you, but you make the final decision to buy, sell or

hold them.

From time to time, we may voluntarily review the holdings in your

Account; however, for purposes of Regulation Best Interest, we

do not provide an ongoing monitoring service or monitor your

Account and Regulation Best Interest does not require us to do so.

The Cash Management Account (CMA) is our primary brokerage

Account for retail clients. Our brokerage services provide you:

• Investment recommendations and responses to your trade

instructions and other requests.

• Access to investments, research, financial tools, investment

guidance and market education.

• Trade execution for purchases and sales of securities and

custody of Account assets.

• Margin lending (borrowing against the securities in your

Account).

• Access to our Cash Sweep Program where uninvested cash

in your Account is “swept” into bank deposit accounts

affiliated with us or into money market mutual funds.

writing, debit cards, electronic funds transfer.

You can obtain certain brokerage services in a brokerage

Account serviced by FSAs and other of our registered

employees via a call center or in a bank or wealth management

center (Merrill Advisory Center (MAC)). Certain of our FSAs

and registered employees may only offer certain types of

investment products. You can obtain brokerage services on a

self-directed basis through MESD.

Our Best Interest Disclosure Statement provides material facts

about a brokerage Account, including material limitations we

place on our offerings.

INVESTMENT ADVISORY SERVICES

Merrill offers a variety of investment advisory programs

(IA Programs). Each IA Program is described in an IA Program

brochure available at ml.com/relationships and

merrilledqe.com.

When you enroll in one of our IA Programs, we act as your

investment adviser in providing you the services described in

that IA Program's client agreement and brochure. You pay an

asset-based fee and not on a per trade basis. These services

include advice and guidance, brokerage and custody services

and access to the Cash Sweep Program.

In certain IA Programs, you can choose to make investment

decisions yourself and/or to grant us or a third party the

authority to make investment and trading decisions for your

account on your behalf (discretion). This discretion is triggered

when you grant it to us and remains in effect until you revoke

it. We provide ongoing monitoring for an account enrolled in

an IA Program as described in its brochure.

MAA provides discretionary services in certain IA Programs.

It invests assets by implementing investment strategies of

third-party managers and/or of Merrill that has been selected

for your IA Program account, processes contributions and

withdrawals and provides other services.

Our IA Programs for retail investors are:

Merrill Lynch Investment Advisory Program (IAP). IAP provides

you with investment advice and guidance from an Advisor you

select and access to a wide range of investment strategies and

products. IAP makes available third-party and Merrill managed

investment strategies as well as individual funds, equities and

fixed income securities. For an IAP account, you may delegate

investment and trading discretion to your Advisor or to the

manager (us or a third-party manager) of an investment

strategy you select or retain investment discretion.

Strategic Portfolio Advisor Service (SPA). SPA provides you with

investment advice from an Advisor you select and the ability to

access investment strategies offered by third-party managers

under a separate contract.

Managed Account Service (MAS). MAS provides you with the

ability to select under a separate contract certain investment

strategies of third-party managers not offered in our other

IA Programs. As to this selection, we and your Advisor do not

provide advice or recommendations.

Merrill Guided Investing with Advisor (MGI with Advisor). This

IA Program offers you the ability to invest in certain investment

strategies managed by Merrill with advice and guidance

of a Merrill representative and through an online, guided

interactive website.

Merrill Edge Advisory Account (MEAA). MEAA is a program that

offers you the ability to invest with advice and guidance of a

MAC-based FSA in certain investment strategies managed by

Merrill.

Merrill Guided Investing (MGI). MGI provides you with the

ability to invest in a set of investment strategies managed by

Merrill through an online, self-guided interactive website.

Institutional Investment Consulting (IIC). IIC is a program

that provides specified investment portfolio services to the

investment portfolios of IIC-eligible clients.

All of these IA Programs have differing service and

relationship approaches and requirements. Certain of the

same managed investment strategies are available in several

of our IA Programs. You should evaluate which IA Program

is right for you considering your investment profile; your

preferences on working with an Advisor you select, working

with a MAC-based FSA or working on a self-guided basis; the

nature of the IA Program services; the types of IA Program

services you want; the investment solutions available; and

the IA Program fees. The IA Program brochures provide

material facts about the program, including fees and conflicts

of interest.

FOR BOTH BROKERAGE AND INVESTMENT ADVISORY

We offer a wide variety of investment products. These

products are available to you for investment based on factors

such as account limitations, client and Advisor/FSA eligibility

and our product approval process.

The investment options available to brokerage and IA

Program-enrolled accounts include products sponsored or

managed by product providers unrelated to us. There are a

limited number of products in which we or our affiliates have

an interest. For certain products, we require that the product

provider or sponsor enter into distribution agreements

with us and, in certain cases, agree to make payments to us

for compensation purposes, revenue sharing and for sub-

accounting services. These material limitations are further

described in the Best Interest Disclosure Statement.

Merrill utilizes its own broker-dealer capabilities and those

of Bank of America Securities, Inc. (BofAS) and affiliates to

provide you with certain investment products and services,

including trade execution, access to research and cash

management services.

For a CMA Account, there is a minimum funding of $20,000

in cash and/or securities (with a $2,000 minimum for a

subaccount). This does not apply to an MESD account or an

account enrolled in MGI, MGIA or MEAA. Certain investment

products and IA Programs are subject to minimum investment

amounts detailed in offering materials and IA Program

brochures. Not all account type options provide the services

described in this Form CRS.

Questions you can ask us about our services: • Given my

financial situation, should I choose an investment advisory

service? Should I choose a brokerage service or both types

of services? Why or why not? • How will you choose

investments to recommend? • What is your relevant

experience, including your licenses, education and other

qualifications and what do they mean?

What fees will I pay?

FEES IN A BROKERAGE ACCOUNT

You will pay a fee for each transaction in a brokerage account

(for e

xample, commissions, markups, markdowns or sales

charges). This can be a direct payment from you or, for certain

investment products, the product sponsor or the manager

will pay the fees and costs to us based on the value of your

investment.

Brokerage transaction fees vary from product to product.

An overview of brokerage fees and other Account charges

is included in the Best Interest Disclosure Statement and in

the materials listed on page 4 of this CRS. An overview of the

MESD brokerage fees and charges is available at merrilledge.

com/pricing. The trade confirmation you receive will provide

the amount of the fees charged for the transaction. The

offering materials available for certain types of investment

products provide information about the fees and costs of

those products.

The more trades that you make in your brokerage account, the

more we and/or your Advisor get paid, giving us a financial

incentive to encourage transactions in your account.

FEES IN AN IA PROGRAM-ENROLLED ACCOUNT

You pay us an IA Program fee that covers investment advisory

services, trade execution and custody at Merrill. The IA

Program fee is based on the value of the assets in your

account at the annualized fee rates listed below:

IAP: A customized rate agreed with your Advisor (max 2.00%)

and a strategy manager fee (if applicable) for Advisor-based

advice and guidance, access to a wide range of investment

solutions and managed strategies and IAP fiduciary services.

SPA: A customized rate agreed with your Advisor (max 1.50%)

and a SPA manager fee for SPA fiduciary services.

MAS: A customized rate agreed with your Advisor (max 1.80%)

and a MAS manager fee for certain agreed MAS services.

MGI with Advisor and MEAA: A fee rate of 0.85% for FSA-

based advice and guidance on the set of managed strategies

available through the program and related fiduciary services.

MGI: A fee rate of 0.45% for access on a self-guided basis to a

limited list of managed strategies.

IIC: A negotiated rate (max 0.45%) for IIC services.

Depending on the IA Program, the fee is paid monthly or

quarterly. The relevant IA Program brochure will provide more

detail about the applicable fee and the transactional costs you

may incur.

The more assets there are in your IA Program-enrolled

account, the more you will pay in fees, giving us a financial

incentive to encourage you to increase the assets in your

account.

ADDITIONAL FEE INFORMATION

We (or your Advisor or an FSA) may discount or waive certain

transaction fees and charges based on your circumstances,

any discount or waiver requirements and/or any reward and

rebate program rules.

Certain brokerage and IA Program services, as well as

investment products, may only be provided by Advisors and

FSAs who meet certain qualifications and training requirements.

Certain products have built-in fees and expenses described in

their offering materials that the product manager or sponsor

charges for services, portions of which may be paid to us.

You will pay fees and costs whether you make or lose

money on your investments. Fees and costs will reduce

any amount of money you make on your investments over

time. Please make sure you understand what fees and costs

you’re paying.

What are your legal obligations to me when providing

recommendations as my broker-dealer or when acting

as my investment adviser? How else does your firm

make money and what conflicts of interest do you

have?

STANDARD OF CONDUCT AND CONFLICTS OF INTEREST

When we provide you with a recommendation as your

broker-dealer or act as your investment adviser, we have to

act in your best interest and not put our interest ahead of

yours. At the same time, the ways we and our affiliates make

money create some conflicts with your interests. You should

understand and ask us about these conflicts because they

can affect the recommendations and investment advice we

provide you. Here are some examples to help you understand

what this means:

Affiliate benefits. Our affiliates receive compensation

and/or economic benefits in connection with certain of the

services provided and certain investment products that we

recommend or make available to you.

Third-party payments for services. We receive compensation

from certain product sponsors for sub-accounting and

shareholder services we provide them. We also have

agreements with certain product sponsors to pay us marketing

support and other revenue sharing payments under certain

circumstances. Product sponsors may share in the costs of

hosting certain educational meetings for clients and our

employees, including Advisors and FSAs.

Principal trading. Some of your securities transactions

will be executed with our affiliate BofAS. It receives dealer

compensation for its services. BofAS also receives underwriting

compensation from issuers for providing underwriting services

for offerings of securities and for the sale of these securities to

institutional and retail clients, including you.

and/or our IA Program brochures at ml.com/relationships and

merrilledge.com

Questions you can ask us about fees and conflicts:

• Help me understand how these fees and costs might

affect my investments. If I give you $10,000 to invest,

how much will go to fees and costs, and how much will be

invested for me? • How might your conflicts of interest

affect me and how will you address them?

How do your financial professionals make money?

BROKERAGE COMPENSATION

Your Advisor is primarily compensated based on the

commissions and other types of transaction fees and service

charges related to transactions in your Account. The level

of compensation is based on what we charge you for trade

execution or what we receive from product sponsors for the

sale of their products.

FSAs and certain Advisors and other registered employees

providing brokerage services are compensated through a

salary and certain bonus payments for asset gathering.

Advisors and FSAs may also share in fees charged for services

provided to you by us and companies related to us as referral

payments.

INVESTMENT ADVISORY COMPENSATION

In general, Advisors who are qualified to offer IAP, SPA and

MAS to eligible clients receive as compensation a portion

of the particular IA Program fee, subject to certain policy

requirements. Certain Advisors may only offer and provide

services for certain IAP strategy types. FSAs and certain types

of Advisors receive a salary and incentive compensation.

OTHER COMPENSATION INFORMATION

We determine Advisor and FSA compensation and eligibility

rules for the offering of brokerage services, IA Program services

and certain investment products. This determination is based

on the experience of the person, the time and complexity

required to meet a client’s needs, the products sold and product

sales commissions, and other factors such as client and asset

acquisition and the revenue we earn.

Advisors and FSAs may receive bonus compensation based

on their asset gathering efforts during the year. Advisors who

join Merrill from other firms are eligible to receive additional

payments based on the revenues generated from accounts

they manage at particular points in time.

Certain products have higher transaction fees and service

charges than other products. An Advisor will receive more

compensation for selling certain products over other products.

The nature of compensation payments that Advisors receive

presents a conflict of interest. For brokerage services, the

conflict arises based on the type and frequency of transactions

in your Account. For IA Programs, the conflict arises based on

the compensation we make due to your enrollment in a fee-

based program and the fee that you agree to.

Do you or your financial professionals have legal or

disciplinary history?

Yes. Please visit Investor.gov for a free and simple tool to

search us and our financial professionals.

Code 1960 (Rev. 03/21)

Merrill Account Terms and Conditions

The following terms and conditions shall govern my AwardChoice® Limited Individual Investor Account (“Account”) with Merrill, Pierce, Fenner &

Smith Incorporated (“Merrill”). This Account has certain limited purposes as described in more detail below.

The fo

llowing transactions may be effected through the Account: (1) the exercise of employee stock options to acquire company stock (“Stock”)

and an accompanying order to sell the shares of Stock acquired through such exercise; (2) the sale of any Stock held in the Account, including

publicly traded securities of any company spun off from the issuer of the Stock held in the Account as a result of such spin-off transaction; and

(3) the purchase of shares of the Merrill money market funds designated for the Account and subsequent sales of those shares. No other

securities transactions are permitted. Limits may be placed on your ability to buy, sell, transfer and hold certain securities, like low-priced

securities, as identified by Merrill.

2. I warrant that I have attained the age of majority in the state/country in which I reside.

l transactions are subject to the constitution, rules, regulations, usages, rulings and interpretations of the exchange or market and its

clearinghouse, if any, where the transactions are executed, and if not executed on any exchange, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority.

livery Instructions. I have established an Account with Merrill in order to settle my Stock. I hereby authorize my employer or its stock agent(s)

to register the Stock issued in connection with my equity awards in the name of Merrill (the agent and nominee for my Account) or in the name

of Merrill’s designated nominee or in my name. I also authorize and instruct my employer to deliver the Stock issued pursuant to my equity

awards to Merrill by the required settlement date of the transaction. I understand that the Stock will only be issued if full payment is made with

respect to all of the costs associated with my equity awards. This authorization is irrevocable, and will continue in full force and effect and will

apply to each equity award under my employer’s plan, using the services of Merrill

5. I agree that commissions, fees (including but not limited to account, service and processing fees), taxes and other charges on any transaction in

my Account, or any service for my Account, will be in accordance with the commissions, fees, rates and charges in effect at Merrill at the time

of the transaction or the provision of service (collectively, the “Fees”). I agree to pay the Fees and agree the Fees will be charged to my Account.

I agree that at all times I am liable for the payment of, and agree to pay on demand, any Fees, debit balance(s), including a debit balance for

Fees, indebtedness or other obligations owing in, or in connection with a transaction in, my Account (collectively, the “Indebtedness”). I agree

that I am liable for any deficiency remaining on such Indebtedness in the event of the liquidation of securities and other property in my Account,

in whole or in part, by Merrill or by me. I agree that to the extent permitted by the laws of the State of New York, Merrill shall collect from me

reasonable costs and expenses of collection of any Indebtedness, including any unpaid deficiency remaining on such Indebtedness, including

but not limited to attorneys’ fees that Merrill incurs or pays in connection with such efforts (collectively, the “Costs”). I agree that Merrill may

satisfy any amounts I owe to Merrill, including Fees, Indebtedness and Costs, by deducting such amounts from my Account, including deduction

from available free credit balances and other assets in my Account, or by deducting from the proceeds of the sale of Stock in my Account, if

applicable. If necessary, I authorize and instruct Merrill to sell assets in my Account to pay those amounts due.

hereby grant a security interest to Merrill in all securities, including Stock, and other property held in my Account from time to time in which I

have an interest for the payment of all my Indebtedness and Costs, which security interest will not terminate even if a security or other property

is delivered to me. I agree that all securities, including Stock, and other property held in my Account from time to time in which I have an interest

shall be subject to a valid and enforceable lien in favor of Merrill for the discharge of all Indebtedness and Costs that I may owe to Merrill,

including any Indebtedness to Merrill in connection with the settlement of my equity awards. In enforcing Merrill’s security interest or lien, I

agree Merrill shall have the discretion to determine which securities and property are to be sold and which contracts are to be closed. All

securities and other property will be treated as financial assets under Article 8 of the State of New York Uniform Commercial Code. For the

avoidance of doubt, all Stock held or carried in the Account shall be subject to a lien for the discharge of any funds advanced for the payment

of the stock option exercise price, applicable taxes, interest, and any fees or commission, including account fees. I understand that these charges

shall be deducted from the proceeds of the sale of the Stock, and that I shall be liable to Merrill for any deficiency remaining in the Account after

the sale of the Stock and that I shall make payment of this deficiency to Merrill

7. Go

verning Law. This Agreement, including these Merrill Account Terms and Conditions, shall be governed by and construed in accordance with

the laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to its choice of law or conflict of law principles.

Code 1960 (Rev. 03/21)

8. Agreement to Arbitrate Controversies. 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.

•

Arb

itration 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 may 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.

I a

gree that all controversies that may arise between Merrill and me, including, but not limited to, those involving any transaction or the

construction, performance or breach of this or any other agreement between Merrill and me, whether entered into prior to, on,

or subsequent to the date hereof, shall be determined by arbitration.

Any arbitration pursuant to this provision shall be conducted only before the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. (FINRA) or an

arbitration facility provided by any other exchange on which Merrill is a member, and in accordance with the respective arbitration rules

then in effect of FINRA or such other exchange. I may elect in the first instance whether arbitration shall be conducted before FINRA or

another exchange of which Merrill is a member, but if I fail to make such election by registered letter addressed to Merrill at the office

where I maintain my account, or such other address that Merrill may advise me of from time to time, before the expiration of five days

after receipt of a written request from Merrill to make such election, then Merrill may make such election. Judgment upon the award of

the arbitrators may be entered in any court, state or federal, having jurisdiction.

No person shall bring a putative or certified class action to arbitration, nor seek to enforce any pre-dispute 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: (I) the class certification is denied; or (II) the class is decertified;

or (III) 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.

9. Merrill may combine my order to sell the Stock with all other such orders received on a daily basis from other Merrill clients. In some cases,

orders may be executed over a period of time and the average price of the shares shall be the price per share allowable to me.

10. Cash dividends, if any, on shares held for my Account on the record date for dividends will be credited to my Account on payment date. My pro-

rata share of any Stock dividends and Stock splits will be credited to my Account. Information on dividends paid on the Stock held in my Account

will be sent to the Internal Revenue Service and to me as required by law. However, dividends may become payable to the purchaser of the

shares. If I am selling all or some of the shares of Stock, I understand and agree that I am responsible for any and all dividends, rights or payments

of any kind that are or may become payable to the purchaser of such Stock prior to the registration of such Stock in the name of Merrill. I agree

to pay or deliver to Merrill upon demand, any and all funds, securities, dividends or distributions due Merrill in the event that for any reason,

the Stock to be issued pursuant to the settlement of my equity awards is not promptly delivered to Merrill.

11. On receipt by you or your legal representative of notice of my legal incapacity or death, the options and Stock in my Account, or the proceeds

of the sale of the Stock shall be held pending receipt of proper authorization and instructions.

12. Transactions shall be limited to those described in these Terms and Conditions or which Merrill may from time to time announce. I acknowledge

and agree that my employer may request that Merrill follow my employer’s instructions with respect to the acceptance or execution of my

orders to transact in this Account. I authorize Merrill to follow my employer’s instructions, including, but not limited to, instructions to not

accept my orders to transact in company stock in this Account. As a result, I acknowledge and agree that any acceptance or execution of

my orders to transact in this Account may be delayed or never occur. I agree to hold Merrill harmless from any liability in connection with

this authorization.

Code 1960 (Rev. 03/21)

13. A statement of all activity in my Account will be sent as required by law or regulations.

14.

Mer

rill’s liability shall be limited to the liability of a broker-dealer acting as an agent or principal with respect to the exercise of options,

the purchase or sale of a client’s securities, and Merrill shall not be liable for the acts or omissions of any other person.

15. Merrill will aim to reduce the occurrence of circumstances that lead to its clients receiving substitute interest or dividend payments for their

securities in lieu of payments from the issuer of the securities. For municipal securities, we may do so by informing clients when such

circumstances arise in a transaction, and giving clients the opportunity to instruct us to either: (i) cancel and correct the transaction in question

if a cancellation and correction can reasonably be executed or (ii) purchase a comparable security if a comparable security is available for

purchase. There may be circumstances where a transaction cannot reasonably be cancelled or corrected or a comparable security is not available

for purchase, which may lead to clients receiving substitute payments for their securities in lieu of payments from the issuer of the securities.

Clients may receive substitute payments for their securities under a number of circumstances in normal business activities that may create a

temporary shortfall that results in Merrill holding an insufficient amount of the securities at the Depository Trust Company to enable all of our

clients to receive the actual payment from the issuer of the securities. Under such circumstances, we will use an internal lottery system to

determine on a random basis which clients to allocate substitute payments to. Clients who receive a substitute payment will see the payment

indicated as such in their account statements. Merrill is committed to ensuring that its clients are not adversely impacted by their receipt of

substitute payments. Therefore, to the extent substitute payments are made to our clients, Merrill will “gross up” substitute payments after the

close of the year the payments are made to compensate you for any federal tax liabilities that might be incurred, including an amount equal to

the tax liability on the gross up itself, in accordance with our policies, copies of which will be provided upon request.

16. This Agreement shall be binding on my heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns; and this agreement shall inure to the benefit

of the successors of Merrill by merger, consolidation, or otherwise, and its assigns, and Merrill is authorized to transfer to any such successors

and assigns.

17. Merrill shall have the right to amend these Terms and Conditions by modifying or rescinding any of its existing provisions or by adding a new

provision. Any such amendment shall be effective as of a date to be established by Merrill. Merrill may terminate my Account at any time.

18. Recognition of the U.S. Special Resolution Regimes Applicable to a Non-U.S. Domiciled Client.

(a) In the event that the Merrill entity (or entities) that is the counterparty to this Agreement (the “Covered Entity”) becomes subject to a

proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the Non-U.S. Domiciled Client hereby agrees that the transfer from the Covered Entity

of this Agreement,

and any interest and obligation in or under, and any property securing, this Agreement, will be effective to the same

extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if this Agreement, and any interest and obligation in or

under, and any property securing, this Agreement were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States.

(b) In the event that the Covered Entity or a Covered Affiliate becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, any

Default Rights under the Agreement that may be exercised against the Covered Entity by a Non-U.S. Domiciled Client are permitted to be

exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Agreement were

governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States.

(c)

The

following terms as used in this section entitled “Recognition of the U.S. Special Resolutions Regimes Applicable to a Non-U.S. Domiciled

Client” will have the following meanings only in this provision:

“Agreement” means this Agreement and all transactions entered into under or pursuant to this Agreement, together with any related

credit enhancements between the parties or provided by one to the other.

“Covered Affiliate” means a BHC Affiliate of the Covered Entity. The term “BHC Affiliate” has the same meaning as the term “affiliate”

of a bank holding company as defined in, and shall be interpreted in accordance with, Section 2(k) of the Bank Holding Company Act,

(12 U.S.C. 1841(k)).

“Default Right” means the right of any party to terminate, cancel, or rescind the agreement or transactions thereunder and other

rights as defined in, and shall be interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. §§ 252.81, 47.2 or 382.1, as applicable.

“Non-U.S. Domiciled Client” means any client that is a party to this Agreement (as applicable) that is does not meet any of these

definitions: (i) an individual that is domiciled in the United States or any of its states, commonwealths, territories or possessions,

including the District of Columbia (each a “State”); (ii) a company that is incorporated in or organized under the laws of the United

States or any State; (iii) a company, the principal place of business of which is located in the United States, including any State, or (iv)

a U.S. branch or agency of a foreign bank.
