Exhibit 10.1 
  
 E*TRADE FINANCIAL
SWEEP DEPOSIT ACCOUNT 
 BROKERAGE AND SERVICING AGREEMENT 
  
 E*TRADE FINANCIAL SWEEP DEPOSIT ACCOUNT BROKERAGE AND SERVICING AGREEMENT, dated as of September 12, 2003
(“Agreement”), between E*TRADE Bank, a federal savings bank organized under the laws of the United States (the “Depository Institution”) and E*TRADE Clearing LLC, a clearing broker-dealer organized under the laws of Delaware
(“Broker”). 
  
 WHEREAS, the Depository Institution
desires to establish from time to time deposit accounts (including interest-bearing transaction accounts as permitted under 12 C.F.R. § 204.2(b)(3) for those persons eligible to own NOW accounts (“NOW Accounts”), and money market
deposit accounts or “MMDAs” as that term is defined in 12 C.F.R. § 204.2(d)(2)) (and at some future date, non-interest bearing transaction accounts (“Business Transaction Accounts”) for those persons that are not eligible to
own NOW Accounts) as authorized by applicable regulations and on the terms and conditions hereinafter provided (each such account individually an “Account” and all such accounts collectively the “Accounts”); 
  
 WHEREAS, Broker is willing to act as agent for (i) its customers and (ii)
customers of broker-dealers (“Approved Brokers”) whose accounts Broker carries on a fully disclosed basis (all such customers being referred to herein as “Customers”); 
  
 WHEREAS, Depository Institution and Broker desire to establish the NOW accounts through one omnibus account, and MMDAs
through a second omnibus account (and at some future date, Business Transaction Accounts through a third omnibus account,) (each, an “Omnibus Account”), with portions of the subaccounting regarding the individual Customer NOW accounts and
MMDAs to be performed on the Depository Institution’s behalf by Broker as agent; and 
  
 WHEREAS, Broker will add MMDA and NOW Accounts as cash sweep vehicles for its Customer brokerage accounts and sweep available customer uninvested cash balances and proceeds from the sales of securities (including, but
not limited to, sales, redemptions, and dividends) (“Funds”) in Customer brokerage accounts into Customer Accounts (a NOW Account paired with an MMDA Account and linked to a brokerage account is referred to herein as a “Sweep Deposit
Account”) maintained at Depository Institution on a daily basis, depending on the amount of the Funds and according to a periodic sweep schedule mutually agreed upon by Broker and Depository Institution; 
  
 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants
herein contained, the Depository Institution and Broker agree as follows: 
  
 1. Role of Broker. The Depository Institution hereby acknowledges that Broker will bring the availability of the Accounts to the attention of Customers either directly or through an Approved Broker. Unless
expressly provided to the contrary 
  

 herein, in all actions taken by Broker hereunder with respect to the Accounts it is understood that Broker shall be
acting as agent for Customers. 
  
 2. Establishment of
Accounts. (a) During the term of this Agreement, the Depository Institution agrees to accept deposits from, and establish Accounts for, Customers in the amounts remitted to the Depository Institution by Broker, as agent for Customers; provided
that no Sweep Deposit Account shall be established at the Depository Institution if after giving effect to the deposit the aggregate amount of funds on deposit in all Sweep Deposit Accounts established for that category of Account with the
Depository Institution hereunder would exceed the amount specified from time to time by Depository Institution by written notice to Broker (it being understood that once a Customer establishes a Sweep Deposit Account with the Depository Institution,
the Depository Institution will accept all additional funds remitted to the Depository Institution by Broker, as agent for the Customer, for deposit to such Account). Each of the customer NOW Accounts will be linked to an MMDA in the name of the
same customer, and the linked deposit accounts operated together as subaccounts that comprise a single Sweep Deposit Account made available to Broker’s eligible customers as a cash sweep option for holding available cash balances in the
customer’s brokerage account. 
  
 (b) Broker, as agent for
the Customer, will remit to the Depository Institution (i) the amount of a Customer’s initial deposit to its Account and (ii) the amount of any subsequent deposits by such Customer to its Account. Broker may notify the Depository Institution of
any initial deposits and subsequent deposits to Accounts in the form of a Notice of Net Withdrawal or Net Deposit (“Notice of Net W/D”) for the Sweep Deposit Accounts. By the Depository Institution’s acceptance of such notice, the
Depository Institution shall be deemed to have made the representations contained thereon. Each Business Day, the Depository Institution shall transfer to Broker the net amount of all withdrawals less new deposits specified in the Notice of Net
Withdrawal for Sweep Deposit Accounts, and Broker shall transfer to Depository Institution the net amount of all deposits less withdrawals specified in the Notice of Net Deposit for Sweep Deposit Accounts with actual wire transfer of funds (or such
other method of transfer as may be mutually agreed upon by the parties). The Depository Institution shall debit or credit, as appropriate, the Omnibus Accounts with the amounts thereto as of the date of receipt by the Depository Institution from
Broker of the funds in respect of such deposit. 
  
 (c) No minimum
initial deposit will be required to establish an Account. If withdrawals from a Customer’s Account cause the deposit balance therein to be reduced to zero, the Depository Institution shall nevertheless continue to maintain the Account unless
Broker notifies the Depository Institution that the Customer has instructed Broker to close the Account. 
  
 (d) Depository Institution will monitor each Customer’s MMDA for conformity with the monthly transaction limits applicable to MMDA Accounts under
Regulation D (12 C.F.R. § 204), use a commercially available computer algorithm for determining a portion of the Customer balance to keep in the NOW Account and periodically rebalance this amount to optimize the balances in the two linked
customer Deposit Accounts, and transfer the balances in those Customer MMDA Accounts 
  

 2 

 exceeding transaction limits to the associated customer NOW Accounts for the relevant month in a manner consistent with
interpretations of the Federal Reserve Board (and transfer back to the associated MMDA account for the commencement of the next month), and notify the Broker of the aggregate balances of the Accounts that are in NOW Accounts and the aggregate
balances of Accounts that are in MMDA Accounts, and the Depository Institution shall calculate, report and maintain required reserves. For purposes of this Section 2, “month” or “monthly” may mean a calendar month or a monthly
statement cycle (which might not correspond to a calendar month) as appropriate to conform to Regulation D requirements. 
  
 The term “Business Day” shall mean a day on which Broker and the Depository Institution are open for business, except with respect to the
determination of the LIBOR Rate, in which case a Business Day shall mean a day on which banks in The City of London are open for business. 
  
 (e) Depository Institution shall administer Customer Accounts in accordance with the following procedures: For most purposes, a Customer Account will be
considered as one account having one account number. For internal Depository Institution accounting purposes, however, a Customer Account will be treated as one Account consisting of two separate sub-accounts. One will be a transaction account
designated as “NOW Sub-Account,” and the other will be a savings account designated as “MMDA Sub-Account.” (In the future, for Customers that are not eligible under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act to own a NOW Account, the
transactions contemplated herein between a NOW Account and an MMDA Account will instead be conducted through a Business Transaction Account and an MMDA Account established in the Customer’s name). 
  
 For regulatory purposes, the NOW Sub-Account will be classified as an account from which an
unlimited number of transfers of funds may be made. The MMDA Sub-Account, however, will be classified as a “time” deposit in which the number of transfers from the account is limited to six (6) per statement cycle. The regulatory
limitation on transfers from the MMDA Sub-Account during a statement cycle will be the determining factor for the procedure for transfers between the sub-accounts described below. 
  
 Funds on deposit in the MMDA Sub-Account will be optimized during each monthly statement cycle by automatic transfers between the NOW
Sub-Account and the MMDA Sub-Account. In order to accomplish this goal, Depository Institution will use a commercially available computer algorithm for determining a portion of the Customer balance to keep in the NOW Account and periodically
rebalance this amount to optimize the balances in the two linked customer Deposit Accounts, and until such time in each monthly statement cycle that a total of six (6) withdrawals or transfers have been made from the MMDA Sub-Account back to the NOW
Sub-Account to cover withdrawals made from the NOW Sub-Account. Upon the sixth withdrawal or transfer from a Customer’s MMDA Sub-Account to the NOW Sub-Account (excluding those transactions that are not subject under Regulation D to the
six-transaction limit) the balance in the Customer’s MMDA Sub-Account will be transferred by Depository Institution to the Customer’s NOW Sub-Account and no further such withdrawals or 
  

 3 

 transfers will be made from the Customer’s MMDA Sub-Account until the beginning of the next monthly statement cycle.

  
 The Target Balance will be the designated balance (to be identified using
commercial available software selected by Depository Institution for this purpose) that will be maintained in the NOW Sub-Account when possible by automatic transfer of funds from the MMDA Sub-Account. The Target Balance may change from time to time
without notice to the customer. All transfers of funds between the sub-accounts will be made automatically by Depository Institution. The Customer will notice no change in the Account as a result of these transfers. The structure of the Account will
have no impact on FDIC insurance. 
  
 The balance in the NOW
Omnibus Account shall be determined by the Depository Institution as the sum of the balances in the NOW Sub-Accounts. The balance in the MMDA Omnibus Account shall be determined by the Depository Institution as the sum of the balances in the MMDA
Sub-Accounts. 
  
 3. Fee to Broker. In consideration of
Broker’s services hereunder, the Depository Institution agrees to pay Broker fees that shall be agreed upon by Broker and the Depository Institution from time to time. Such fees shall not be due or payable until such time as the board of
directors of the Depository Institution has approved the fee structure under this agreement in conformity with the requirements of the affiliate transaction policies and procedures of the Depository Institution. Such fees shall be payable monthly on
such day as Depository Institution shall designate in respect of the average daily balance of all MMDA Accounts and in respect of the average daily balance of all NOW Accounts for such month. Broker may, in its sole discretion, pay all or any
portion of its fee with respect to any Customer’s Account to any Approved Broker. Any fees paid by the Depository Institution to Broker pursuant to this provision shall comply in all respects with Section 23B of the Federal Reserve Act, 12
U.S.C. § 371c-1, Regulation W as promulgated by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, 12 C.F.R. Part 223, and 12 C.F.R. § 563.42 and shall be subject to periodic review and revision by mutual agreement of the Depository
Institution and Broker to ensure such compliance. 
  
 4.
Interest Rate. The Depository Institution shall pay interest to the Customers’ respective Accounts on the amount on deposit in a NOW Account and in an MMDA Account at a rate per annum determined from time to time by the Depository
Institution, calculated according to the methods established in the form of depositary agreement and truth-in-savings disclosure in use at the Depository Institution. 
  
 5. Book-Entry. (a) Customer Accounts established at the Depository Institution pursuant to this Agreement shall be
established in book-entry form only. Each Customer Account established at the Depository Institution shall (i) have a separate account number on the account records of the Depository Institution maintained by the Broker and Depository Institution
and (ii) be included in an Omnibus Account registered on the books and records of the Depository Institution as follows: “E*TRADE Clearing LLC, as agent and nominee for others, including trusts, pension and retirement plans and 
  

 4 

 accounts, custodians, fiduciaries, or agents and nominees for other persons.” There shall be two such Omnibus
Accounts, one for NOW Accounts, and the other for MMDA Accounts. Broker, acting as agent and record-keeper of the Depository Institution, shall be responsible for assigning a separate Account number for each Customer Account, and maintaining all
books and records in respect of the Account (other than Sub-Account information, which shall be maintained by the Depository Institution), including the Account title, address, ownership, signatory power, social security number or other tax
identification number, and the crediting of interest from the Omnibus Account to each Account, and all deposits, withdrawals and other transactions, in each Account. Broker shall maintain such Account records on Depository Institution’s behalf
at a location or locations mutually agreed on from time to time by the parties hereto, and shall make such records available upon request to the Depository Institution, the Office of Thrift Supervision, the FDIC and the examiners of other state and
federal banking agencies that have supervisory jurisdiction over the Depository Institution. 
  
 (b) Promptly upon establishment of an Account, the Depository Institution and Broker will communicate (electronically or otherwise) information regarding the establishment of the Account and the registration of such
Account on the books and records of the Depository Institution as set forth in Section 5(a) above. 
  
 (c) If a Customer terminates its brokerage account relationship with Broker but instructs Broker that it wishes to maintain the deposit account with
Depository Institution, and Broker shall so advise the Depository Institution, the Depository Institution shall register the Customer’s Account on the books and records of the Depository Institution in the name of the Customer provided that
Broker shall have furnished the Depository Institution with confirmation of the Customer’s instructions. To facilitate such registration in the name of the Customer, Broker shall reasonably cooperate with the Depository Institution in
establishing the identity of any Customer that terminates its brokerage account relationship with Broker, including without limitation, the name, address and taxpayer identification number of such Customer. Upon registration of an Account in the
name of a Customer, the provisions of this Agreement shall no longer govern the terms of such Account and the Depository Institution shall deal with the Customer directly with respect to such Account. 
  
 (d) So long as an Account is registered in the name of Broker as agent for a
Customer, Broker will, as the Depository Institution’s record keeper, maintain the following account details for such Account. Broker shall maintain records on behalf of the Depository Institution reflecting (i) an account number for each
Customer that established an Account at the Depository Institution, (ii) the dollar amount of each Account established at the Depository Institution on each day during the preceding calendar month, and (iii) the aggregate amount of deposits and
withdrawals from the Accounts at the Depository Institution on each day during the preceding calendar month. Subject to compliance with Section 18 hereof, Broker shall promptly make such records available upon request to the Depository Institution,
the FDIC or Office of Thrift Supervision. 
  

 5 

 (e) Broker shall maintain on its records the name, address and taxpayer identification number of each
Customer that has established an Account at the Depository Institution. 
  
 6. Restrictions on Account Transfers and Withdrawals. (a) Broker will handle the process of arranging for issuance of checks for brokerage accounts linked to Sweep Deposit Accounts, which checks may be cleared through a third-party
bank or the Depository Institution as agreed from time-to-time between Broker and Depository Institution. No checks shall be furnished by the Depository Institution to the Customers for check writing purposes without the prior written approval of
Broker on an Account-by-Account basis. 
  
 (b) All withdrawals
from an Account of a Customer shall be effected by Broker, as agent and messenger for the Customer. Broker, as agent for a Customer, may make an unlimited number of withdrawals from such Customer’s Account to satisfy obligations of the Customer
in connection with the Customer’s brokerage account. 
  
 7.
Disclosure. (a) The Depository Institution shall provide Broker with all disclosure information that the Depository Institution is required by federal or applicable state banking law to provide to depositors establishing Accounts directly
with the Depository Institution and shall advise Broker from time to time concerning such disclosure information. In making the Accounts available, Broker shall directly or through an Approved Broker supply to Customers materials that shall contain
information with respect to Accounts, including the Account agreement and terms in a form and format approved by Depository Institution and any information furnished to Broker by the Depository Institution that the Depository Institution informs
Broker is required by law to be disclosed. Broker shall not have any responsibility for an omission on the part of the Depository Institution to notify Broker, or for any delay by the Depository Institution in notifying Broker, unless such delay is
caused by Broker’s negligent act or negligent omission to act, of any disclosure that the Depository Institution advises Broker is required by applicable law or regulation. 
  
 (b) Broker shall provide the Customer with information regarding the date of the initial deposit to the Account, the name of
the Depository Institution, and the fact that Broker, or Broker and the Approved Broker, may receive from the Depository Institution a fee for providing the services contemplated by this Agreement. The information may be furnished by Broker in the
form of a trade confirmation, a monthly customer transaction statement, or other reasonable means; provided, however, that quarterly statements may be provided if there are no transactions in the Customer’s Account during the first two months
of a particular quarter. 
  
 (c) Broker shall provide each
Customer with a monthly transaction statement in a form and format acceptable to the Depository Institution that shall reflect all activity in such Customer’s Account during the previous interest period, the closing balance of the Account at
the end of the previous interest period, and the amount of interest earned on funds in the Account during the previous interest period; provided, 
  

 6 

 however, that quarterly statements may be provided if there are no transactions in the Customer’s Account during the
first two months of a particular quarter. 
  
 8. Reservation of
Notice Before Withdrawal or Transfer. The Depository Institution reserves the right to require seven days’ prior notice before allowing a withdrawal or transfer from a NOW or MMDA Account established pursuant to this Agreement. 

 
 9. Representations and Warranties and Covenants of Broker. Broker

Agreement, and (ii) any and all loss, cost, damage or expense (including court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements) to Broker, or any Approved Broker resulting from the breach by the Depository Institution of any of its
representations, covenants, obligations or warranties contained in this Agreement. 
  
 (b) Broker agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Depository Institution for and against (i) any and all liability and costs to Customers who have established Accounts caused by the fault or negligence of Broker,
its employees or authorized representatives or Approved Brokers, arising out of the performance or nonperformance of the covenants and obligations of Broker under this Agreement, and (ii) any and all loss, costs, damage or expenses (including court
costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements) to the Depository Institution resulting from the breach by Broker of any of its representations, warranties, covenants or obligations contained in this Agreement and any and all loss,
costs, damage or expenses (including court costs and attorneys’ fees and disbursements) to the Depository Institution resulting from the negligent acts or negligent omissions of any Approved Brokers related to Accounts. 
  
 In any case where a party shall seek indemnification under this Agreement
(the “Indemnified Party”), for a third party claim, suit or proceeding (“Third Party Claim”), such indemnification shall be conditioned on such Indemnified Party’s compliance with the following procedures: 
  
 (i) the Indemnified Party will give prompt written notice to the party from
whom such indemnification is sought (the “Indemnifying Party”) of each claim for indemnification under this Agreement, specifying the amount and nature of the 
  

 10 

 claim (a “Notice”). Provided that such Notice is given (unless the failure to provide such Notice does not
prejudice the interests of the Indemnifying Party), and the Indemnifying Party has not contested in writing the Indemnified Party’s right to indemnification as set forth below, the Indemnifying Party, at its own expense and using counsel of its
own choosing, shall promptly defend, contest and otherwise protect against any such claim, suit or proceeding. If within a reasonable time period following the receipt of a Notice, the Indemnifying Party contests in writing the Indemnified
Party’s right to indemnification with respect to the Third Party Claim described in the Notice, the Indemnified Party shall defend against and contest such Third Party Claim. 
  
 (ii) If the Indemnifying Party is defending against the Third party Claim, the Indemnified Party may, but will not be
obligated to, participate in the defense of any such Third Party Claim, suit or proceeding, at its own expense and using counsel of its own choosing, but the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to control the defense thereof unless the Indemnified
Party has relieved the Indemnifying Party from liability with respect to the particular matter. The Indemnified Party shall cooperate and provide such assistance as the Indemnifying Party reasonably may request in connection with the Indemnifying
Party’s defense and shall be entitled to recover from the Indemnifying Party the reasonable costs of providing such assistance. The Indemnifying Party shall inform the Indemnified Party on a regular basis of the status of such claim, suit or
proceeding and the Indemnifying Party’s defense thereof. 
  
 (iii) In any Third Party Claim the defense of which is controlled by the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnifying Party shall not, without the Indemnified Party’s prior written consent, compromise or settle such claim, suit or proceeding
if: (a) such compromise or settlement would impose an injunction or other equitable relief upon the Indemnified Party; or (b) such compromise or settlement does not include the third party’s release of the Indemnified Party from all liability
relating to such claim, suit or proceeding for which the Indemnified Party is entitled to be indemnified. 
  
 (iv) If the Indemnifying Party fails to timely defend, contest or otherwise protect against any such claim, suit or proceeding, and fails to contest in
writing the Indemnified Party’s right to indemnification, the Indemnified Party may, but will not be obligated to, defend, contest or otherwise protect against the same, and make any compromise or settlement thereof and recover the entire costs
thereof from the Indemnifying Party, including reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel and all amounts paid as a result of such claim, suit or proceeding and the compromise or settlement thereof. 
  
 (v) The obligation to indemnify a party’s officers, directors,
employees and agents in accordance with this Section 11 may be enforced exclusively by such party and nothing herein shall be construed to grant such officers, directors, employees and agents any individual rights, remedies, obligations or
liabilities with respect to the parties to this Agreement. The parties to this Agreement may amend or modify this Agreement in any respect without the consent of such officers, directors, employees and agents. 
  

 11 

 12. Litigation. (a) Broker will promptly advise the Depository Institution of any legal or
administrative action of which Broker obtains knowledge by any state or federal court, agency or authority taken or threatened to be taken that would preclude, limit or otherwise restrict the offering of the Accounts as contemplated by the
Agreement. 
  
 (b) The Depository Institution will promptly advise
Broker of any legal or administrative action of which the Depository Institution obtains knowledge by any state or federal court, agency or authority, taken or threatened to be taken that would preclude or limit or otherwise restrict the offering of
the Accounts as contemplated by this Agreement. 
  
 13.
Duration of Agreement. (a) This Agreement shall expire on the date that is one year from the date of this Agreement; provided that unless the Depository Institution or Broker shall give the other written notice at least six (6) months
prior to the initial expiration date or prior to any date to which the term of this Agreement shall have been extended, this Agreement shall continue to be extended one additional year. 
  
 (b) This Agreement may be terminated by either party at any other time by giving six (6) months prior written notice to the
other party. Upon the Agreement’s termination, the Depository Institution shall follow the instructions of Broker, as agent for Customers, as to the disposition of the funds then on deposit in the Accounts. 
  
 (c) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Depository
Institution may terminate this Agreement upon the issuance or effective date of any statute, regulation, administrative or regulatory action or judicial decision that, in the reasonable opinion of the Depository Institution, renders the operation of
the program illegal. 
  
 (d) Notwithstanding any termination or
expiration of this Agreement, the provisions of Sections 7, 8-13, and 18-27 hereof shall survive any such termination. 
  
 (e) Upon the expiration date of this Agreement, the Depository Institution shall follow the instructions of Broker, as agent for Customers, as to
disposition of the funds then on deposit in the Accounts. 
  
 14.
Expenses. Each party hereto shall pay any costs or expenses incurred by it in connection with the preparation, execution and performance of this Agreement, except as otherwise provided in Sections 11 and 12 hereof. 
  
 15. Nonexclusive Operation. The Depository Institution recognizes that
