This is a nondurable POA, meaning it will terminate when Schwab receives notice of the death or incapacity of the
Account Holder(s). If Schwab is notified that you become incapacitated and can no longer make your own decisions or
manage your own affairs, the authority granted to your Agent will end. If there is anything about this POA that you do
not understand, please consult with an attorney.

Brokerage Account and Associated Schwab Global Account form.
This is an important legal document that gives another person authority(ies) over your account.
Please review it carefully with a trusted legal professional before you sign it.

complete this form.
• Obtain all Agent and Account Holder signatures in Sections 6 and 7 and obtain notarization for the Account Holder
signature(s) in Section 8.

2 Choose Your Agent’s Type of Authority (Select A or B)
Please choose the type of
authority you wish to
grant your Agent:
Limited Power of
Attorney or Full Power of
Attorney.
Granting Power of Attorney gives your Agent a broad range of authority over your accounts, whether you grant your Agent
trading authority (Limited Power of Attorney, or LPOA) or trading and withdrawal authority (Full Power of Attorney, or FPOA).
Please select only ONE type of authority you wish to grant your Agent below.
A. Trading Authority
You can select only ONE
type of authority.
Trading Authority (LPOA) gives your Agent the authority to:
• Trade in your account in the same manner and extent that you are permitted to do.
• View your account online.
• Incur additional margin debt, if your account is approved for margin.
Please review the attached Power of Attorney Authorization and Agreement for more information about the powers, roles and
responsibilities of all parties. LPOA does not allow your Agent to make withdrawals, transfer funds or securities out of your
account, close your account, change the mailing address on your account or activate a Schwab One
®
Visa
®
Platinum Debit Card.
B. Trading and Withdrawal Authority
This grant of authority is
not available to
Investment Advisors.
Trading and Withdrawal Authority (FPOA) gives your Agent trading authority as described in A above, plus the authority to:
• Withdraw funds from your account, including requesting that a check, electronic funds transfer (EFT) or wire transfer be sent to
someone other than you, including a withdrawal made payable to the Agent.
• Request that assets in your account be transferred to another Schwab account in the name of a third party, including a transfer
to the Agent’s separate Schwab account.
• Execute or change a beneficiary designation on your behalf on your eligible Schwab accounts (your Agent may not execute a
beneficiary designation in favor of himself or herself).
Write checks on your account, including checks made payable to any third party and the Agent.
Please review the attached Power of Attorney Authorization and Agreement for more information about the powers, roles and
responsibilities of all parties. An FPOA does not allow your Agent to add margin or options trading features to your account. With
FPOA, your Agent cannot transfer securities out of your Schwab account to another brokerage firm unless the Agent also has a
separate Durable Power of Attorney. With FPOA, your Agent can change his or her own password to access your account but
cannot change your password, close your account or change the mailing address on your account.
For a trust account (other than a revocable living trust account, in which the Trustor[s], Trustee[s] and current beneficiary[ies] are
all the same individuals), before granting FPOA, Schwab will require photocopies of the following pages from the trust document:
Please remember to
include these materials
for a trust document.
• Title pages containing the name and date of the trust, Trustor(s) and Trustee(s)
• Signature page(s)
• Pages setting forth the Trustee(s)’ authority to delegate powers and appoint Agents

materials should be sent

investment advice from just one client. The POA should consult with legal counsel and/or publicly available resources at

account and are part of the Account
Agreement between each Account Holder and Schwab Bank, if applicable. The terms “I,” “me” and “my” refer to each
Schwab or Schwab Bank Account Holder.
• Please note that for the purposes of this Power of Attorney (POA), the term “brokerage account” refers to your account
with Charles Schwab & Co., Inc. (“Schwab”), a registered broker-dealer, and the term “Schwab Bank High Yield Investor

(“Schwab Bank”), an Equal Housing Lender and Member FDIC.
Section 1: Account Holder’s Authorization of
Agent’s Powers
I authorize Schwab to take such actions as Schwab
deems necessary to carry out instructions Schwab
receives from me and/or Agent. I further authorize
Schwab, in its sole discretion and for whatever
reason, to request additional documentation from
me prior to executing any transaction requested
by my Agent. If I have appointed two or more
Agents, both Agents will have identical powers as
indicated in Section 2 of the Power of Attorney
form, and I hereby authorize them to act alone and
without the consent of the other Agent or Agents,
with respect to the powers granted. In addition, I
hereby authorize Schwab, in its sole discretion, to
restrict my Account from further activity in the
event the Agents enter conflicting or inconsistent
instructions.
I authorize Schwab to mail duplicate copies of
account statements and/or trade confirmations to
the Agent(s), if I have so indicated by checking the
boxes in Section 3. If Agent is associated with a
securities firm of the Financial Industry Regulatory
Authority (“FINRA”), Schwab is authorized to
deliver information concerning my Account,
including duplicate confirmations and account
statements, to such firm upon written request.
For both FPOA and LPOA, the Agent’s authority
will include, without limitation, the authority in the
same manner and to the same extent as any
Account Holder:
• to give instructions for transactions in securities
and financial instruments, including the buying
and selling of stocks, bonds, debentures, notes,
subscription warrants, stock purchase warrants,
options, mutual fund shares, evidences of
indebtedness, and any other securities,
instruments or contracts relating to securities;
and
• (where necessary to complete any transaction) to
transfer, convert, endorse, sell, assign, set over
and deliver any assets held in the Account (the
“Account Assets”) and to make, execute and
deliver any and all written instruments of
assignment and transfer; and
• to update certain account information, but not to
change the account mailing address.
At its discretion, Schwab may, but is not obligated
to, decline to accept certain updated account
information from the Agent. The Agent under an
LPOA is not authorized to withdraw or direct the
disbursement of Account Assets from the Account.
If my Account has a Margin and Short Account
feature approved by Schwab, Agent is authorized
to trade on margin, to sell short, to borrow
securities, to otherwise cause credit to be
extended through the Account, and to secure the
performance of obligations in the Account with
Account Assets. If my Account is authorized for
options trading, after an options trading
application is completed by the Agent and
approved by Schwab, Agent is authorized to place
options orders. Whenever this Power of Attorney is
attached to any instrument of assignment or
transfer, all persons shall be entitled, without
further inquiry or investigation and regardless of
the date of such Power of Attorney, to act in
reliance upon the assumption that the Account
Assets named in such instrument were duly and
properly transferred, endorsed, sold, assigned, set
over and delivered, and that with respect to such
Account Assets the authority conferred herein is
still in full force and effect. And, for FPOA only, the
authority in the same manner and to the same
extent as any Account Holder:
• to withdraw or direct the disbursement of money
held in the Account in or into the name of any
person or entity, including the Account Holder,
the Agent or upon Agent’s instructions (but not
to change or create joint or multiple-party
accounts); and
• on my behalf, to enter into further agreements
with Schwab regarding my Account, and
generally take all actions necessary in connection
with the Account, or which are considered
desirable by the Agent.
Notwithstanding the aforementioned, if this
trading authorization applies to an IRA, QRP,
403(b)(7) or Keogh account (“Retirement Account”)
for which Schwab or its affiliate and/or any
successor acts as trustee or custodian, this
authorization shall allow the Agent to provide
trading instructions to Schwab. However, such
instructions shall be limited to purchase, exchange
and sell orders in any investment permitted by the
terms of the Retirement Account and pursuant to
Schwab policy, and other incidental transactions
subject to the limitations described herein.
And, for FPOA on a Retirement Account only, the
authority in the same manner and to the same
extent as any Account Holder:
• to direct distributions from the Retirement
Account (other than to the Agent) and to make
any elections in connection therewith (including,
without limitation, elections relating to tax
withholding); and
• (if authorized) to execute any beneficiary
designation for any Retirement Account held for
my benefit at Schwab in favor of any party other
than the Agent himself or herself. And, for
Authorized Check User only, the Agent’s
authority will include, without limitation, the
authority in the same manner and to the same
extent as any Account Holder to write checks to
any person or entity. I agree that until this Power
of Attorney is revoked by written notice to
Schwab and all checks delivered to the Agent are
returned, Schwab may continue to honor all
checks written against the Account by the Agent.
Section 2: Account Holder’s Terms and
Conditions
All orders and transactions will be governed by the
terms and conditions of all account agreements as
applicable to my Account.
Role of Charles Schwab & Co., Inc. I acknowledge
and agree that:
• Schwab will merely effect trades as directed by
Agent (LPOA and FPOA only);
• Schwab will not give legal or tax advice;
• Agent and I are responsible for determining the
nature, potential value and suitability for me of
any particular investment strategy, transaction
(including futures transactions) or security
(including equities and options); I will not rely on
Schwab for this purpose and, unless (1) required
by applicable law, or (2) a Schwab representative
gives advice directly to me or Agent that is
clearly identified as a Schwab recommendation
for me to enter into a particular transaction or to
buy or sell a particular security, Schwab has no
responsibility for any such determination;
• Schwab is not acting as a fiduciary;
• I (and not Schwab) am responsible for
investigating and selecting Agent;
• Agent is not affiliated with or controlled or
employed by Schwab, and Schwab has not
approved, recommended or endorsed Agent;
• Agent, and not Schwab, is solely responsible for

Power of Attorney Authorization and Agreement - Client Copy Page 2 of 5
determining if Agent is required to be registered
as an Investment Advisor with a state agency or
the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
Registration rules vary by state. I agree that it is
Agent’s responsibility, and not Schwab’s, to
check his/her state’s applicable rules;
• Unless required by applicable law, Schwab has no
duty to review, supervise or monitor any
investment decision, trading activity or
transaction by Agent in my Account; and
• Schwab reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to
no longer honor instructions for Agent and will
notify me if it chooses to do so.
In addition, I have investigated the business
experience, qualifications and reputation of my
Agent and am satisfied with the experience,
qualifications and reputation of my Agent.
I understand that Schwab has not provided any
advice to me regarding this Power of Attorney,
and if there is anything about this Power of
Attorney that I do not understand, I should consult
with my attorney for an explanation.
Indemnification. I hereby ratify and confirm any
and all transactions, trades or dealings effected in
and for my Schwab Account by my Agent, and I
agree to indemnify and hold harmless Schwab, its
affiliates, and their directors, officers, employees
and agents from and against all claims, actions,
judgments, settlement amounts, costs and
liabilities, including attorneys’ fees, arising out of
or relating to:
• their reliance on this Power of Attorney;
• Schwab’s execution of Agent’s instructions; and
• Schwab’s execution of disbursement instructions
received from Agent (FPOA and Authorized
Check User only).
Furthermore, I agree to indemnify and hold
Schwab harmless from, and to pay Schwab
promptly upon demand for, any and all losses or
financial obligations which may arise from the acts
or omissions of the Agent with respect to my
Account. I also agree that since Schwab will not
review, supervise or monitor trading by the Agent
in my Account, Schwab will not be liable and I will
not attempt to hold Schwab liable for any trade or
decision made by the Agent whom I have selected,
regardless of whether or not any such trade or
decision was specifically authorized by me.
Termination of Authority. This Power of
Attorney, authorization and indemnification will
remain in effect until Schwab is notified in writing
of my death, mental disability, incompetence or
incapacity or until I have revoked it by written
notification, and such notification is received by
Schwab. Such revocation will not affect my
obligations resulting from transactions initiated
prior to Schwab’s receipt of notice of revocation.
Transfer Agent (LPOA and FPOA only). To
induce any transfer agent or other third party to
act hereunder, I hereby agree that any transfer
agent or other third party receiving a duly
executed copy or facsimile of this Power of
Attorney may act upon it, and that revocation or
termination hereof shall be ineffective as to such
transfer agent or other third party unless and until
actual notice or knowledge of such revocation or
termination shall have been received by such
transfer agent or other third party, and I, for myself
and for my heirs, executors, legal representatives
and assigns, hereby agree to indemnify and hold
harmless any such transfer agent or third party
from and against any and all claims that may arise
against such transfer agent or other third party by
reason of such transfer agent or third party having
relied on this instrument.
Assignment. This Power of Attorney supplements
and in no way limits or restricts rights which
Schwab may have under existing law or any other
agreement with me. This Power of Attorney will
bind my heirs, executors, administrators,
successors and assigns, and will benefit Schwab’s
successors, affiliates and assigns.
Governing Law. The laws of the state of California
(but not the choice of law doctrines), as applied to
agreements signed and performed in California,
shall apply and bind the parties in any and all
questions arising under this Power of Attorney,
including questions of validity, interpretation and
performance, except that the arbitration
agreement in Section 4 shall be governed by the
Federal Arbitration Act.
Arbitration. I agree to the arbitration provisions in
Section 4, which also includes required arbitration
disclosures.
Section 3: Agent’s Terms and Conditions
The undersigned Agent and Charles Schwab & Co.,
Inc. (“Schwab”) agree that the authority conferred
on the Agent by the Power of Attorney executed
by the Account Holder (“Customer”) shall be
exercised in accordance with the following terms
and conditions (“Agreement”):
Authorization to Make Transactions in the
Customer’s Account. Agent may give instructions
and take actions with respect to the Account
pursuant to the Power of Attorney. Customer may
revoke the Power of Attorney at any time by giving
written notice to Schwab. Customer will have
concurrent full authority at all times to take actions
and place orders for the Account. Agent agrees
not to take any actions that exceed the authority
under the Power of Attorney or any other
agreement between the Agent and the Customer.
Role of Charles Schwab & Co., Inc. Unless
required by applicable law, Schwab will not make
or review trading or investment decisions or offer
legal or tax advice and is not in any way
responsible for reviewing, supervising or
monitoring any investment decision or trading
activity in a Customer’s account. Customer and
Agent are responsible for determining the nature,
potential value and suitability for Customer of any
particular investment strategy, transaction
(including futures transactions) or security
(including equities and options); Agent will not
rely on Schwab for this purpose and, unless (1)
required by applicable law, or (2) a Schwab
representative gives advice directly to Agent that
is clearly identified as a Schwab recommendation
for Agent to enter into a particular transaction or
to buy or sell a particular security, Schwab has no
responsibility for any such determination.
Trade Confirmations and Account Statements.
Unless the Customer directs otherwise, Schwab
will not automatically send duplicate trade
confirmations and account statements to the
Agent.
Agent’s Relationship to Schwab. If appointed
FPOA or LPOA, Agent hereby represents that he/
she is familiar with and has reviewed the
investment goals, guidelines and objectives of the
Customer and will invest in a way that is consistent
with the Customer’s stated goals and objectives.
Such Agent will not represent to Customer that
Schwab and Agent are affiliated or have any
relationship other than that described in this
Agreement; that Schwab endorses or recommends
the Agent; that Schwab provides any advice other
than that described in this Agreement; that
Schwab participates in or reviews Agent’s trading
decisions; or that Schwab manages, supervises or
monitors trading in the Account.
Any Agent agrees to immediately notify Schwab of
the Customer’s death or any termination or
revocation of the Power of Attorney and/or
modification of the Power of Attorney; Agent also
agrees to notify Schwab of any incapacity,
incompetence or mental disability of the Customer
that would render the Power of Attorney void.
Compliance with Applicable Law. Agent will
comply with all applicable state and federal laws
(including the Investment Advisers Act of 1940
and comparable state laws), rules and regulations
as they may be amended from time to time,
including, without limitation, making such
disclosure as may be required by applicable law,
rule or regulation.
Agent further agrees that Agent, and not Schwab,
is solely responsible for determining if Agent is
required to be registered as an Investment Advisor
with a state agency or the Securities and Exchange
Commission (SEC).
Registration rules vary by state. Agent agrees to
check his/her state’s applicable rules.
Compliance with FINRA Rules of Fair Practice.
Agent represents and warrants that, unless the
Agent has given Schwab written notice to the
contrary, Agent is not “associated” with a member
of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority,
within the meaning of Article I(Q) of the FINRA
bylaws. Agent agrees to give Schwab prompt and
written notice if Agent later becomes so
associated in accordance with FINRA’s Conduct
Rule 3050 (formerly Section 28 of the Rules of Fair
Practice).
Information. Agent will provide promptly any
information reasonably requested by Schwab
concerning the management of the Account or
compliance with this Agreement. If questions arise
concerning compliance with any law, whether
federal or state, Agent will take any action believed
by Schwab to be necessary to ensure compliance
with applicable law. This provision shall not be
read to imply that Schwab has any duty to
supervise or monitor Agent’s management of
Customer’s accounts or compliance with
applicable law. Agent represents and warrants that
all information Agent provides to Schwab in this
Agreement, or otherwise at any time, is true,
accurate and complete. If any information Agent
furnishes to Schwab becomes materially

Power of Attorney Authorization and Agreement - Client Copy Page 3 of 5
inaccurate, false, or otherwise misleading, Agent
agrees to notify Schwab promptly and take such
action as is necessary to revise such information.
Verification. Agent authorizes Schwab to inquire
from any source, including a consumer reporting
agency, as to Customer’s identity (as required by
federal law), creditworthiness and ongoing
eligibility for the Account (and that of Customer’s
spouse, if Customer lives in a community property
state) at account opening, at any time throughout
the life of the Account, and thereafter for debt
collection or investigative purposes.
Monitoring of Conversations. Agent agrees that
Schwab may, but is not obligated to, record
telephone calls to monitor the quality of service
Agent or Customer receives, to verify securities
transaction information or for any other valid
purpose. Agent acknowledges that Schwab may
not be able to locate a tape recording unless
Schwab is provided the date and time of the
conversation and the full name of the Schwab
representative involved in the conversation. Agent
agrees that Schwab has the sole right to determine
how long tape recordings will be retained.
Sale and Control of Restricted Securities (LPOA
and FPOA only). Before instructing Schwab to sell
securities that are:
• “restricted securities” or securities of an issuer of
which Agent or the Customer is an “affiliate” (as
those terms are defined in Rule 144 under the
Securities Act of 1933), or
• securities that are being sold in reliance on Rule
701 or Rule 145 under such Act, or
• securities of which the Customer or the Agent
and the issuer or its underwriter have entered
into an agreement restricting the transferability
of such securities,
Agent agrees to tell Schwab the status of such
securities and promptly furnish whatever
information and documents (including opinions of
legal counsel, if requested) that Schwab requests
in order to comply with its regulatory duties.
Agent agrees not to hold Schwab liable for delays
in the sale or settlement of such securities, or the
release of proceeds from such sale resulting from
the failure of the issuer’s counsel to issue in a
timely manner or to approve any necessary legal
opinion, or any other action or failure to act of any
person or entity other than Schwab.
Agent agrees not to tender any such securities as
collateral for an obligation the Customer owes
Schwab, unless Agent first obtains Schwab’s prior
written consent.
Indemnification. Agent agrees to indemnify and
hold harmless Schwab, its affiliates and their
directors, officers, employees and Agents from and
against all claims, actions, judgments, settlement
amounts, cost and liabilities, including attorneys’
fees, arising out of or relating to:
• any breach by Agent of any provision of this
Agreement;
• the performance or non-performance of the
Agent’s services; and
• any dispute involving Agent and Customer.
Entire Agreement. This Agreement contains all of
the agreements, representations and
understandings made between Agent and
Schwab. All modifications and amendments must
be in writing and signed by Schwab.
Schwab may amend the Agreement with advance
notice to Agent.
Assignment. Schwab may assign its rights and
obligations under this Agreement to any
subsidiary, affiliate or successor by merger or
consolidation without notice to the Agent, or to
any other entity after 30 days’ written notice to
Agent. Agent may not assign this Agreement
without Schwab’s prior written consent. This
Agreement is binding upon and will inure to the
benefit of each party’s successors, heirs, legal
representative and permitted assigns.
Waivers. The failure of either party at any time to
require performance by the other party of any
provision of this Agreement will not affect in any
way the right to require such performance at any
time thereafter. The waiver by either party of a
breach of any provision hereof will not be taken or
held to be a waiver of the provision itself.
Governing Law. The laws of the state of California
(but not the choice of law doctrines), as applied to
agreements signed and performed in California,
shall apply and bind the parties in any and all
questions arising under this Power of Attorney,
including questions of validity, interpretation and
performance, except that the arbitration
agreement in Section 4 below shall be governed
by the Federal Arbitration Act.
Arbitration. Agent agrees to the arbitration
provisions in Section 4, which also includes
required arbitration disclosures.
Section 4: Account Holder and Agent Agree to
Arbitration
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.
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
©2020 Charles Schwab & Co., Inc. All rights reserved. MemberSIPC. AFTIA (0620-0N2E) APP13049-26 (06/20)
Power of Attorney Authorization and Agreement - Client Copy Page 4 of 5
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 5: Schwab Bank Account Holder’s
Authorization of Agent’s Powers
I authorize Charles Schwab Bank, SSB (“Schwab
Bank”) to take such actions as Schwab Bank deems
necessary to carry out instructions Schwab Bank
receives from me and/or Agent. I further authorize
Schwab Bank, in its sole discretion and for
whatever reason, to request additional
documentation from me prior to executing any
transaction requested by my Agent. If I have
appointed two or more Agents, both Agents will
have identical powers as indicated in Section 2 of
the Power of Attorney form, and I hereby authorize
them to act alone and without the consent of the
other Agent or Agents with respect to the powers
granted. In addition, I hereby authorize Schwab
Bank, in its sole discretion, to restrict my Schwab
Bank High Yield Investor Checking
®
account from
further activity in the event the Agents enter
conflicting or inconsistent instructions.
For LPOA, my Agent’s authority consists of the
authority to view account information, balances
and transactions, but not to make withdrawals or
transfer funds. My Agent may also request copies
of specific account statements upon my request.
For FPOA, my Agent’s authority consists of
unlimited authority to view account information,
balances and transactions, transfer or withdraw
money from my Account, including into the name
of the Agent, to write checks against my Account,
obtain stop payments and generally take any
other actions with respect to my Account in the
same manner and to the same extent as I am
permitted to do. My Agent may also request
copies of specific account statements upon my
request. I understand that certain access devices
may not be made available to my Agent. My Agent
is authorized to update certain account
information, but not to change the High Yield
Investor Checking account mailing address nor to
change or create joint accounts. At its discretion,
Schwab Bank may, but is not obligated to, decline
to accept certain updated account information
from the Agent. My Agent is authorized on my
behalf to enter into further agreements with
Schwab Bank regarding my High Yield Investor
Checking account and generally to take all actions
necessary in connection with the Account, or
which are considered desirable by the Agent.
Whenever this Power of Attorney is attached to
any instrument of assignment or transfer, all
persons shall be entitled, without further inquiry or
investigation and regardless of the date of such
Power of Attorney, to act in reliance upon the
assumption that the Account Assets named in
such instrument were duly and properly
transferred, endorsed, sold, assigned, set over and
delivered, and that with respect to such Account
Assets the authority conferred herein is still in full
force and effect.
Section 6: Schwab Bank Account Holder’s
Terms and Conditions
All transactions will be governed by the terms and

investigating and selecting Agent;
• Agent is not affiliated with or controlled or
employed by Schwab Bank, and Schwab Bank
has not approved, recommended or endorsed
Agent;
• Unless required by applicable law, Schwab Bank
has no duty to review, supervise or monitor any
transaction by Agent in my High Yield Investor
Checking account; and
• Schwab Bank reserves the right, in its sole
discretion, to no longer honor instructions for
Agent and will notify me if it chooses to do so.
I understand that Schwab Bank has not provided
any advice to me regarding this Power of Attorney,
and if there is anything about this Power of
Attorney that I do not understand, I should consult
with my personal attorney for an explanation.
Indemnification. I hereby ratify and confirm any
and all transactions or dealings effected in and for
my High Yield Investor Checking account by my
Agent, and I agree to indemnify and hold harmless
Schwab Bank, its affiliates, and their directors,
officers, employees and agents from and against
all claims, actions, judgments, settlement
amounts, costs and liabilities, including attorneys’
fees, arising out of or relating to:
• their reliance on this Power of Attorney;
• Schwab Bank’s execution of Agent’s instructions;
and
• Schwab Bank’s execution of disbursement
instructions received from Agent (FPOA only).
Furthermore, I agree to indemnify and hold
Schwab Bank harmless from, and to pay Schwab
Bank promptly upon demand for, any and all
losses or financial obligations which may arise

respect to my High Yield Investor Checking
account. I also agree that Schwab Bank will not be
liable and I will not attempt to hold Schwab Bank
liable for any transaction or decision made by the
Agent whom I have selected, regardless of
whether or not any such transaction or decision
was specifically authorized by me.
Termination of Authority. This Power of
Attorney, authorization and indemnification will
remain in effect until Schwab Bank or Schwab is
notified in writing of my death, mental disability,
incompetence or incapacity or until I have revoked
it by written notification, and such notification is
received by Schwab Bank or Schwab. Such
revocation will not affect my obligations resulting
from transactions initiated prior to Schwab Bank’s
or Schwab’s receipt of notice of revocation.
Assignment. This Power of Attorney supplements
and in no way limits or restricts rights which
Schwab Bank may have under existing law or any
other agreement with me. This Power of Attorney
will bind my heirs, executors, administrators,
successors and assigns, and will benefit Schwab
Bank’s successors, affiliates and assigns.
Governing Law. The laws of the state of Nevada
(but not the choice of law doctrines), as applied to
Schwab Bank agreements signed and/or
performed by Schwab Bank, shall apply and bind

questions arising under Sections 5 through 7 of
this Power of Attorney Authorization and
Agreement, including questions of validity,
interpretation and performance. All other
questions arising out of any other section of this
Power of Attorney Application and Agreement
shall be governed by California law.
Arbitration. The arbitration provision in the
Schwab Bank Deposit Account Agreement applies
to this Power of Attorney with respect to the
Account Holder’s agreement with Schwab Bank.

®
Account Holder (“Customer”)
shall be exercised in accordance with the following
terms and conditions:

Customer’s Account. Agent may give instructions
and take actions with respect to the Account
pursuant to the Power of Attorney. Customer may
revoke the Power of Attorney at any time by giving

authority under the Power of Attorney or any
other agreement between the Agent and the
Customer.
Role of Schwab Bank. Unless required by
applicable law, Schwab Bank will not make or
review transactions or investment decisions or
offer legal or tax advice and is not in any way
responsible for reviewing, supervising or
monitoring any transactions in a Customer’s
account.
Account Statements. Unless the Customer makes
a specific request, Schwab Bank will not send
duplicate account statements to the Agent.
Agent’s Relationship to Schwab Bank. Such
Agent will not represent to Customer that Schwab
Bank and Agent are affiliated or have any
relationship other than that described in this
Power of Attorney; that Schwab Bank endorses or
recommends the Agent; that Schwab Bank
provides any advice other than that described in
this Power of Attorney; that Schwab Bank
participates in or reviews Agent’s decisions; or that
Schwab Bank manages, supervises or monitors
transactions in the Account.
Any Agent agrees to immediately notify Schwab
Bank of the Customer’s death or any termination
or revocation of the Power of Attorney and/or
modification of the Power of Attorney; Agent also
agrees to notify Schwab Bank of any incapacity,
incompetence or mental disability of the Customer
that would render the Power of Attorney void.
Compliance with Applicable Laws. Agent will
comply with all applicable state and federal laws,
rules and regulations as they may be amended
from time to time, including, without limitation,
making such disclosure as may be required by
applicable law, rule or regulation.
Information. Agent will provide promptly any
information reasonably requested by Schwab Bank
concerning the management of the Account or
compliance with this Power of Attorney. If
questions arise concerning compliance with any
law, whether federal or state, Agent will take any
action believed by Schwab Bank to be necessary to
ensure compliance with applicable law. This
provision shall not be read to imply that Schwab
Bank has any duty to supervise or monitor Agent’s
management of Customer’s accounts or
compliance with applicable law.
Agent represents and warrants that all information
Agent provides to Schwab Bank in this Power of
Attorney, or otherwise at any time, is true, accurate
and complete. If any information Agent furnishes
to Schwab Bank becomes materially inaccurate,
false, or otherwise misleading, Agent agrees to
notify Schwab Bank promptly and take such action
as is necessary to revise such information.
Verification. Agent authorizes Schwab Bank to
inquire from any source, including a consumer
reporting agency, as to Agent’s identity (as
required by federal law), creditworthiness and
ongoing eligibility for the High Yield Investor
Checking account at account opening, at any time
throughout the life of the Account, and thereafter
for debt collection or investigative purposes.
Recording and Monitoring Telephone Calls.
Schwab Bank may record or monitor telephone
calls between Agent and Schwab Bank. Schwab
Bank need not remind Agent of such recording or
monitoring before each call unless required to do
so by law.
Indemnification. Agent agrees to indemnify and
hold harmless Schwab Bank, its affiliates and their
directors, officers, employees and Agent from and
against all claims, actions, judgments, settlement

any subsidiary, affiliate or successor by merger or
consolidation without notice to the Agent, or to

Agent.
Agent may not assign this Power of Attorney
without Schwab Bank’s prior written consent. This
Power of Attorney is binding upon and will inure
to the benefit of each party’s successors, heirs,
legal representative and permitted assigns.
Waivers. The failure of either party at any time to
require performance by the other party of any
provision of this Power of Attorney will not affect
in any way the right to require such performance
at any time thereafter. The waiver by either party
of a breach of any provision hereof will not be
taken or held to be a waiver of the provision itself.
Governing Law. The laws of the state of Nevada
(but not the choice of law doctrines), as applied to
Schwab Bank agreements signed and/or
performed by Schwab Bank, shall apply and bind
the Customer(s) and Agent(s) in any and all
questions arising under Sections 5 through 7 of
