1. Interest rates paid on balances in the MMDA and TD AMERITRADE Cash are based on tiers. The previous day's closing balance determines eligibility for a particular tier each day. Simple interest is accrued daily based on the interest rate tier applicable to each day's balance, and is credited to your account on the last business day of the month. In accordance with the Terms and Conditions, TD AMERITRADE may change the tiers and rates at its discretion and without notice and is not obligated to pay different rates between tiers. Rate changes may vary by program, location or arrangement.

TD AMERITRADE receives a fee from the Bank for marketing and related services in connection with the MMDA. TD AMERITRADE has the right to waive all or part of this fee. The fee is derived using a formula which results in the fee varying from month to month depending on the interest rate environment and the profitability of the Bank with respect to such deposits. As required by Federal Regulations, the fee the Bank pays TD AMERITRADE does not exceed the amount that the Bank would offer in good faith to non-affiliated entities. The rate of the fee that TD AMERITRADE receives may exceed the interest rate or effective yield that you receive in your MMDA. Other than the applicable fees we charge on brokerage accounts, there will be no charges, fees or commissions imposed on your account for this cash sweep feature.

2. All service fees are subject to change. Pass-through fees charged to TD AMERITRADE will be passed on to the client's account.

3. Certificate requests requiring extraordinary processing, including certificates for foreign securities and requests to break certificates into multiple denominations, may incur additional charges which will be passed through to your account.

4. Some accounts, such as option-approved accounts, are required to receive monthly statements either electronically (free) or via U.S. mail (fee waived).

5. Transfer and termination fees may be charged by the firm you are transferring the account from.
