‡ Required for minors who are residents of states governed by the Uniform Transfers to Minors Act or by the Uniform Gifts to Minors Act. The age of
custodianship termination varies by state, although many states set the maximum age for termination at 21. If you do not indicate an age or governing
state law here, the account will be set up using the custodian’s state of residence and that state’s default age of custodianship termination (either 18
or 21). If neither the minor nor the custodian is a U.S. resident, the custodian must indicate the governing state law in the Governing State Law field above.
I understand that electing to extend custodianship to age 25, if applicable, may cause me to lose my annual exclusion from federal gift tax and that I
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.)

4._ Choose Your Cash Feature
Please select below one eligible Cash Feature that may allow you to earn income on the free credit balances in your brokerage account (each, a “Cash
Feature”). Eligibility for each Cash Feature is indicated below. For additional information on the eligibility rules for, and important disclosures about, the
various alternatives to earn income on your cash, please see the Cash Features Disclosure Statement for Schwab Institutional®. If you do not select a
Cash Feature, select more than one Cash Feature, or select a Cash Feature for which you are not eligible, you instruct Schwab to use the following rules
to designate a Cash Feature on your account: If your account is eligible, Schwab will designate the Bank Sweep feature as the Cash Feature for your
account; if your account is not eligible for the Bank Sweep feature, Schwab will designate the Schwab One®Interest feature as the Cash Feature for your
account. Schwab may make these designations without providing any advance notice to you.
Select only one of the following: Available to:
Individuals Only†
Bank Sweep feature* All Clients
Schwab One Interest‡ All Clients
Schwab Municipal Money Fund–Sweep Shares™ (SWXXX) All Clients
Schwab AMT Tax-Free Money Fund™–Sweep Shares (SWFXX) All Clients

* The Bank Sweep feature automatically makes deposits to and withdrawals from deposit accounts held at Charles Schwab Bank, an FDIC-insured deposi-
tory institution affiliated with Schwab. Please see Schwab’s cash feature disclosure statement for more information about FDIC insurance. We recom-
mend that you assume that coverage of deposit accounts established under the Bank Sweep feature will be limited to FDIC insurance and that you not
expect coverage from SIPC.
† The Bank Sweep feature is available only to individuals. Trusts are not eligible.
‡ The Schwab One Interest feature allows you to receive interest from Schwab on the free credit balances in your brokerage account. Credit balances
held at Schwab ARE NOT FDIC-INSURED AND ARE NOT BANK-GUARANTEED. The Schwab One Interest feature is currently not available for a brokerage
account linked to a Schwab Bank High Yield Investor Checking™ account.
§ Your Household Balance includes all of your accounts at Schwab that have been linked in accordance with Schwab’s householding guidelines.
If you select a Sweep Money Fund, your selection is considered a request for a prospectus. It is an indication of interest only, and you are not obligated
to buy any shares. Please read the prospectus carefully. Although money funds seek to preserve the value of your investments at $1 per share, it is
possible to lose money. Money funds ARE NOT FDIC-INSURED, MAY LOSE VALUE AND ARE NOT BANK-GUARANTEED.
Municipal money funds are designed for taxpayers who are seeking income that is exempt from federal income tax. Each of the state-specific funds
generally provides income that is exempt from that respective state’s personal income tax as well. With the exception of the Schwab AMT Tax-Free
Money Fund, a portion of each of these funds’ income may be subject to the federal alternative minimum tax (AMT). These funds are not appropriate for
inclusion in an IRA or other retirement account, or for any investor with tax-exempt status.
