with its main office in the State of Delaware (“TD Bank USA”), TD Bank, National Association, a national bank with
its main office in the State of Delaware (“TD Bank,” and together with TD Bank USA, the “Depository Institutions”)
and The Charles Schwab Corporation (“Schwab”). The Depository Institutions, Schwab and the Broker-Dealers (as defined

the Closing (as defined below) without any further action of any party hereto.

 

Recitals

 

WHEREAS,
Schwab is party to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of the date hereof (the “Merger Agreement”), by and
among Schwab, Americano Acquisition Corp. (“Merger Sub”) and TD Ameritrade Holding Corporation, pursuant to which,
at the closing and subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein, Merger Sub will merge with and into TD Ameritrade Holding
Corporation and TD Ameritrade Holding Corporation will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Schwab (the “Closing”);

 

WHEREAS,
TD Bank USA, TD Bank, The TD Bank (“TD Parent”), TD Ameritrade, Inc. (“TDA”), TD Ameritrade Clearing,
Inc. (“TDA Clearing”) and TD Ameritrade Trust Company (“TD Ameritrade Trust Company” and together with
TD Ameritrade Clearing, the “TDA Broker-Dealers”) are party to an Insured Deposit Account Agreement, effective as
of January 1, 2013 (the “2013 IDA”) and the parties hereto desire to enter into this Agreement in order to, effective
as of the Closing, amend and restate the 2013 IDA in its entirety;

 

WHEREAS,
the Depository Institutions have established or will establish one or more money market deposit accounts (as that term is defined
in 12 C.F.R. Section 204.2(d)(2)) (the “Master Accounts”) in the names of the Broker-Dealers (as defined below) as
agent and custodian for customers of the Broker-Dealers (“Customers”), including those Customers that are trust agents,
nominees, custodians or other representatives of others;

 

WHEREAS,
each Broker-Dealer will act as agent and recordkeeper with respect to certain books and records relating to each of its Customers’
individual beneficial interest in the Master Accounts (each, a “Customer Account”) and will maintain its deposit account
records to reflect at all times the existence of a relationship that serves as the basis for federal deposit insurance of such
Customer Accounts by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the “FDIC”), subject to the terms and conditions of
this Agreement;

 

WHEREAS,
the parties intend that the Customer Accounts will be eligible for federal deposit insurance by the FDIC for the maximum aggregate
amount of principal and interest available with respect to each Customer’s aggregate deposits maintained in a single recognized
legal capacity, as evidenced by the records of the Depository Institutions and the Broker-Dealers pursuant to applicable laws
and regulations;

 

     

    

    

WHEREAS,
for purposes of this Agreement, “Affiliate” shall mean, for any specified person, any other person who controls, is
controlled by or is under common control with, such specified person. For purposes of this definition, (a) “control”
(including, with its correlative meanings, the terms “controlling,” “controlled by” and “under common
control with”) as used with respect to any person, means the possession, directly or indirectly, of the power to direct
or cause the direction of the management and policies of such person, whether through the ownership of securities or other similar
interest, by contract or otherwise; (b) with respect to the Broker-Dealers, the term Affiliate shall not be deemed to include
TD Parent or any of its subsidiaries; and (c) with respect to the Depository Institutions and TD Parent, the term Affiliate shall
not be deemed to include Schwab or any of its subsidiaries, including the Broker-Dealers.

 

NOW, THEREFORE,
in consideration of the mutual covenants, representations, warranties, terms and conditions set forth herein, and intending to
be legally bound hereby, the parties agree as follows:

 

1.  
Roles. 

 

(a)  
Schwab will cause (i) its subsidiaries that are broker-dealers as of the Closing,
including Charles Schwab & Co., Inc. and the TDA Broker-Dealers and (ii) any other entity that becomes a broker-dealer subsidiary
of Schwab following the Closing (clauses (i) and (ii), collectively, the “Broker-Dealers ”) to make available to their
Customers the sweep program contemplated by this Agreement to the extent necessary for Schwab to satisfy its obligations hereunder
and will cause the Broker-Dealers to take all other actions required of them pursuant to this Agreement.

 

(b)  
The Broker-Dealers will act as the authorized agent, nominee, custodian and messenger
of their respective Customers, and not of the Depository Institutions, in establishing, maintaining, making deposits to and withdrawals
from, and effecting other transactions in the Master Accounts established and maintained by the Broker-Dealers at the Depository
Institutions. Except as set forth in Section ‎7, all deposits, withdrawals and other transactions in the Master Accounts
shall only be effected by the Broker-Dealers, as agent for the Customers, and not directly by the Customers.

 

(c)  
The Broker-Dealers will act as recordkeepers in maintaining the information set forth
in Section ‎8 with respect to the Customer Accounts.

 

2.  
Terms and Conditions of the Master and Customer Accounts.  Unless
otherwise required by law or regulation, the parties agree that the Master Accounts and Customer Accounts shall be governed by
the following terms and conditions: 

 

(a)  
no commitment shall be made to pay an interest rate or to employ a method of calculation
of an interest rate on the funds deposited in the Master Accounts other than as permitted by applicable law, regulation or rule;

 

(b)  
there shall be no maturity on the Master Accounts;

 

    2

    

    

(c)  
the Depository Institutions reserve the right to require seven (7) days’ prior
notice of any withdrawal of funds from the Master Accounts; provided, however, that if a Depository Institution elects to exercise
its right to require seven (7) days’ prior notice of any withdrawal of funds from a Master Account, it shall, subject to
applicable regulatory limitations, exercise such right as to all accounts established at such Depository Institution under 12
C.F.R. Section 204.2(d);

 

(d)  
there is no restriction on the number of additional deposits to the Customer Accounts;

 

(e)  
the Master Accounts shall not be transferable;

 

(f)  
withdrawals from the Master Accounts shall be permitted only in accordance with Section
‎6 hereof;

 

(g)  
the Master Accounts shall be subject to any and all terms and conditions as may from
time to time be imposed on any money market deposit account described in 12 C.F.R. Section 204.2(d)(2) by any applicable law,
regulation or rule or by any other determination of any governmental or regulatory authority;

 

(h)  
no checks shall be furnished by the Depository Institutions to the Customers for check
writing purposes directly against the Master Accounts or Customer Accounts; and

 

(i)  
no debit cards shall be furnished by the Depository Institutions to the Customers
for debit of funds directly against the Master Accounts or Customer Accounts.

 

3.  
Procedures for Establishment of, and Deposits to, the Master Accounts.

 

(a)  
The Master Accounts shall be established on behalf and for the benefit of the Customers
in the name of the Broker-Dealers in each case “for the Exclusive Benefit of Its Customers” at an office of each of
the Depository Institutions (as may be determined by the Depository Institutions in their sole discretion). The Master Accounts
will be maintained on the books and records of the Depository Institutions, evidenced by book entry on the account records of
the Depository Institutions in the name of the Broker-Dealers as agent for the Customers. As set forth in Section 8, and for the
purposes set forth therein, the Broker-Dealers shall maintain account information and deposit records with respect to the Customer
Accounts.

 

(b)  
The Broker-Dealers, as agents for their respective Customers, may on any Business
Day deposit federal or other immediately available funds from the Customer Accounts into the applicable Master Account by wire
transfer to the designated office, accompanied by appropriate instructions. If that wire transfer together with such instructions
is received by the applicable Depository Institution prior to 6:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on any Business Day, the funds deposited
by such wire transfer shall be credited to the applicable Master Account on that Business Day. For purposes of this Agreement,
“Business Day” shall mean a day on which the Broker-Dealers and the Depository Institutions are open for business,
but shall not include any Federal Reserve Bank holiday or any day on which the Fedwire Funds Service is not open for business.

 

    3

    

    

(c)  
If withdrawals from a Master Account cause the deposit balance therein to be reduced
to zero, the Depository Institution shall nevertheless continue to maintain such Master Account until the applicable Broker-Dealer
notifies the Depository Institution to close such Master Account.

 

4.  
Interest Rate on Deposits.

 

(a)  
The interest rate payable by the Depository Institutions on the Master Accounts for
credit to the Customer Accounts during any day shall be such rate(s) (calculated on the basis of the actual days elapsed of a
year of 365 days) as determined by the Broker-Dealers from time to time in their sole discretion. The interest rate to be paid
on funds in the Customer Accounts may vary depending on the value of the Customer’s assets, including funds on deposit in
such Customer’s Customer Account. The Depository Institutions shall have no responsibility for setting or for disclosing
or monitoring the interest rates accrued or paid in respect of Customer Accounts. The Broker-Dealers shall notify the Depository
Institutions of the interest rate(s) by e-mail not later than 11:00 a.m., Eastern Time, on each Business Day, or at such other
time or in such other manner as the parties may otherwise mutually agree in writing. If a Broker-Dealer does not provide such
notification to a Depository Institution, or if a day is not a Business Day, the applicable Master Account shall bear interest
at the interest rate last established for such Master Account pursuant to this Section ‎4.

 

(b)  
Interest shall be calculated daily and credited monthly to the principal for the Master
Accounts on the last Business Day of the calendar month, or on such other date as may be agreed to by the parties in writing.
Interest will begin to accrue on funds deposited to the Master Accounts on the day on which such funds are credited to the Master
Accounts in accordance with the provisions of Section ‎3(b) hereof, and will accrue to, but not including, the day
on which funds are withdrawn from the Master Accounts.

 

5.  
Fees; Deposit Balances .

 

(a)  
From and after the Closing until the earliest of (i) the first date any TDA Broker-Dealer
is merged into another Broker-Dealer that is not a TDA Broker-Dealer, (ii) June 30, 2021 and (iii) the date the Broker-Dealers
(other than the TDA Broker-Dealers) are operationally able to sweep funds to the Depository Institutions (such earliest date,
the “Initial Period End Date”), the TDA Broker-Dealers shall be obligated to make available to their Customers (including
any Customer Accounts opened following the Closing) the sweep program contemplated by this Agreement as the exclusive sweep option
for such Customers and neither the TDA Broker-Dealers nor Schwab will withdraw deposits from the Master Accounts except to the
extent of withdrawals by Customers from their Customer Accounts. Schwab will use its reasonable best efforts to enact such operational
changes as necessary to enable the Broker-Dealers to sweep funds to the Depository Institutions as promptly as practicable after
Closing. In addition, Schwab will not, directly or indirectly, encourage or solicit Customers of the TDA Broker-Dealers to withdraw
their funds from their Customer Accounts or otherwise have their funds not swept to the Depository Institutions. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, the TDA Broker-Dealers shall not sweep to the Depository Institutions any Customer funds if such Customer requests
in writing that such funds not be swept to the Depository Institutions.

 

    4

    

    

(b)  
If the Initial Period End Date is prior to June 30, 2021, from and after the Initial
Period End Date through June 30, 2021, Schwab will cause the Master Accounts for all Broker-Dealers to have an amount of aggregate
deposits equal to the amount of aggregate deposits in the Master Accounts as of the Initial Period End Date (such amount, the
“Initial Period Balance”).

 

(c)  
From and after July 1, 2021, in any 12 month period, the Broker-Dealers may reduce
the aggregate deposits in the Master Accounts by up to the Reduction Limit (as defined below) by written notice provided to the
Depository Institutions not less than ninety days prior to the commencement of the 12 month period during which such reduction
will occur; provided that, except during the Run-Off Period following the expiration or termination of this Agreement,
in no event shall the amount of aggregate deposits in the Master Accounts ever be less than $50 billion; provided further
that, except as set forth in Section 14(i), the Broker-Dealers shall have no right to terminate any Fixed Rate Obligation Amounts
prior to the applicable maturity date, and accordingly such reduction in aggregate deposits may only be accomplished by withdrawing
deposits that represent a Fixed Rate Obligation Amount following the maturity date for such Fixed Rate Obligation Amount or by
withdrawing deposits that are not Fixed Rate Obligation Amounts. From and after July 1, 2021, the amount of aggregate deposits
in the Master Accounts shall not be allowed by Schwab to increase above the amount that is in such Master Accounts as of the Initial
Period End Date, as reduced from time to time pursuant to this Section 5(c). For the avoidance of doubt, if there is any reduction
of such amount pursuant to this clause (c), then the amount of aggregate deposits may only decrease further in accordance with
this Section 5(c) but in no event will ever increase.

 

(d)  
The “Reduction Limit” means, in any 12 month period, $10 billion, subject
to the adjustments provided below:

 

(i)  
if the Initial Period Balance is less than the amount of aggregate deposits under
the 2013 IDA as of immediately prior to the Closing (the “Closing Balance”), the Reduction Limit will be reduced by
the difference between the Closing Balance and the Initial Period Balance, beginning with the Reduction Limit in the first 12
month period from and after July 1, 2021, with the remainder of any such reduction carrying over into any subsequent 12 month
periods from and after July 1, 2022 (for example, if such difference is $20 billion, the Reduction Limit will be reduced to $0
until July 1, 2023);

 

(ii)  
if the Initial Period Balance is greater than the Closing Balance, the Reduction Limit
for the 12 month period from and after July 1, 2021 (and subject to carryover only to the extent permitted by clause (iii) below)
will be increased by the difference between the Initial Period Balance and the Closing Balance; and

 

(iii)  
if, in any 12 month period, the amount of the Fixed Rate Obligation Amounts maturing
in such 12 month period (the “Available Maturity Amount”) is less than $10 billion (as adjusted in the same manner
as the Reduction Limit is adjusted in Section 5(d)(i) and Section 5(d)(ii)) for such 12 month period, then the Reduction Limit
in the subsequent 12 month period will be increased by the difference between $10 billion (as adjusted in the same manner as the
Reduction Limit is adjusted in Section 5(d)(i) and Section 5(d)(ii)) for such initial 12 month period and the greater of (x) the
Available Maturity Amount and (y) the

 

    5

    

    

actual amount
of the Reduction Limit utilized by Schwab in such 12 month period (for example, assuming no adjustments from 5(d)(i) and 5(d)(ii),
(i) if the Available Maturity Amount for the applicable 12 month period is $6 billion, and $7 billion of the Reduction Limit is
utilized for such 12 month period (as a result of Schwab using $1 billion from funds not deployed into Fixed Rate Obligation Amounts),
$3 billion would be carried forward and added to the Reduction Limit for the next 12 month period, and (ii) if the Available Maturity
Amount for the applicable 12 month period is $6 billion, and $6 billion or less of the Reduction Limit is utilized, $4 billion
would be carried forward and added to the Reduction Limit for the next 12 month rolling period). Notwithstanding anything herein
to the contrary, during the Exempt Period, the Reduction Limit will be fixed at $10 billion and, for the avoidance of doubt, in
no event during the Exempt Period shall the amount of aggregate deposits in the Master Accounts ever be less than $50 billion.

 

(e)  
In consideration of the services to be provided by Schwab and the Broker-Dealers hereunder,
the Depository Institutions agree to pay to (or as directed by) Schwab an aggregate fee (the “Sweep Arrangement Fee”),
on a monthly basis in arrears, not later than 15 calendar days after the end of each calendar month, in an amount equal to:

 

(i)  
the amount computed in accordance with Exhibit A with respect to the aggregate
balances in the Master Accounts during such preceding calendar month; less

 

(ii)  the actual interest paid by the Depository Institutions during such preceding calendar
month on the Master Accounts pursuant to Section ‎4(a); less

 

(iii)  
an annual servicing fee (“Service Fee”) of 15 basis points on the aggregate
average daily balance in the Master Accounts; less

 

(iv)  
an amount equal to the product of (x)  [***] multiplied
by (y) the sum of (I) the total amount of FDIC deposit insurance premium assessments payable (including, if applicable, any
special FDIC deposit insurance premium assessments paid; provided, however, that if and to the extent such special assessment
represents a prepayment of assessments for future periods, the Depository Institutions and Schwab shall enter into good faith
negotiations regarding a payment schedule for the Broker-Dealers to pay their requisite share of such assessment) by the Depository
Institutions each year in respect of or resulting from the deposits in the Master Accounts plus (II)  [***]% of the incremental cost
incurred by the Depository Institutions due to any   [***] to the total base
assessment rate applicable to the Depository Institutions in respect of all other liabilities held at the Depository Institutions,
pursuant to the methodology set forth in Exhibit B.

 

(f)  
For purposes of this Section ‎5, the amounts determined pursuant to the
foregoing clauses (e)(iii) and (iv) shall be based on the actual number of days elapsed in such prior calendar month divided by
365. 

 

    6

    

    

   [***].
With respect to the amounts determined pursuant to clause (e)(iv) above, if at the time of any such payments the actual FDIC
assessment for a relevant period has not been determined, such payments shall be based on good faith estimates provided by
the Depository Institutions, subject to retroactive adjustment based on final FDIC determination and FDIC assessment payments
paid by the Depository Institutions for the relevant period. In connection with the foregoing, the Depository Institutions
shall provide the Broker-Dealers, within a reasonable period of time following the end of each calendar quarter, with
statements showing the calculation of FDIC assessments used by the Depository Institutions to determine the amounts
under clause (e)(iv) above during the immediately preceding calendar quarter. The parties agree that promptly following the
end of each calendar quarter, they will jointly review the amounts paid to the FDIC and determine the amounts under clause
(e)(iv) for the preceding periods for which final assessment information is available and, if necessary, adjust between the
parties any identified over or under payments.

 

(g)  
The mechanics of the payment of the Sweep Arrangement Fee may vary from time to time
as agreed to in writing by the parties. The parties hereto agree that no portion of the Sweep Arrangement Fee shall compensate
the Broker-Dealers, or reimburse the Broker-Dealers for expenses incurred, in connection with acting as messenger for their respective
Customers. The Sweep Arrangement Fee shall be allocated between the Depository Institutions as may be determined by the Depository
Institutions in their sole discretion. In the event that the computation of the Sweep Arrangement Fee in any given month results
in a negative amount, the Broker-Dealers collectively will pay to the Depository Institutions such amount. For avoidance of any
doubt, the Sweep Arrangement Fee reflects the elements of the various services and interests paid and does not constitute a derivative
contract.

 

(h)  
In any calendar week, the Broker-Dealers shall be permitted to designate in the aggregate
up to $1 billion of the amounts on deposit in the Master Accounts as “Fixed Rate Obligation Amounts”, on the following
terms and conditions:

 

(i)  
If a Broker-Dealer elects to designate an amount as a “Fixed Rate Obligation
Amount”, an Authorized Person (as defined below) of such Broker-Dealer shall inform an Authorized Person of the Depository
Institutions prior to 11 a.m., Eastern time, on a Business Day to provide the Depository Institutions notice of the amount and
maturity date of such new Fixed Rate Obligation Amount. When the Authorized Person of the Depository Institutions is determining
the Yield in accordance with Exhibit A, an Authorized Person of such Broker-Dealer shall be entitled to participate electronically
with such Authorized Person of the Depository Institution in connection with such determination (including by allowing the Authorized
Person of such Broker-Dealer to view or share the computer screen of the Authorized Person of the Depository Institution).

 

(ii)  
By 4 p.m., Eastern time on such Business Day, the Depository Institutions shall provide
such Broker-Dealer with an electronic written confirmation setting forth the amount, maturity date and Yield (determined in accordance
with Note 1 to Exhibit A) of such Fixed Rate Obligation Amount.

 

(iii)   No
Fixed Rate Obligation Amount may have a maturity date of    [***] from the investment date (and the Broker-

 

    7

    

    

Dealers shall
have no right to withdraw or reinvest such Fixed Rate Obligation Amount prior to such maturity date); provided that Exempt Fixed
Rate Obligation Amounts may have a maturity of    [***].

 

(iv)  
No more than    [***]% of the aggregate Fixed Rate Obligation Amounts in the Master Accounts
at any time shall mature in any 12 month period, except to the extent resulting from the establishment of Exempt Fixed Rate Obligation
Amounts.

 

(v)  
The Broker-Dealers shall take all necessary steps to ensure that at all times at least
80% of the aggregate amount of the deposits in the Master Accounts are designated as Fixed Rate Obligation Amounts, except, at
the Broker-Dealers’ option, during the Exempt Period.

 

(vi)  
For clarity, any reference to a “Fixed Rate Obligation Amount” means the
actual dollar amount of such Fixed Rate Obligation Amount and the amount deposited as such Fixed Rate Obligation Amount.

 

(i)  
For purposes of this Section 5, an “Authorized Person” of each of the
Broker-Dealers and the Depository Institutions consists of those persons that may be specified in writing by each such party to
the other from time to time. “Fixed Rate Obligation Amounts” are deposits that have the terms and conditions specified
by Section 5(h) and Exhibit A.

 

(j)  
From and after the Initial Period End Date, the Broker-Dealers will not sweep (and
may not be required by any Depository Institution to sweep) to the Depository Institutions any Customer funds to the extent such
funds would exceed the Depository Institutions’ aggregate FDIC deposit insurance limits with respect to any given Customer.
From and after the Closing until the Initial Period End Date, the amount of uninsured Customer funds swept by the Broker-Dealers
to the Depository Institutions will remain consistent with the amount of uninsured Customer funds swept to the Depository Institutions
under the 2013 IDA as of the Closing, except to the extent caused by withdrawals of such Customer funds by Customers from their
Customer Accounts. Except as provided by the immediately preceding sentence, the Depository Institutions will allocate Customer
funds among themselves to ensure that, with respect to any Customer, each Depository Institution has an amount of funds from such
Customer that is less than or equal to the applicable FDIC insurance limit with respect to such Customer.

 

(k)  
In the event any change in applicable laws, rules or regulations or any guidance,
substantive recommendations, requirements, directives, options and interpretations, policies and guidelines by applicable regulatory
authorities results in an increase to the cost to the Depository Institutions or the Broker Dealers of implementing, managing
and/or overseeing the sweep program contemplated by this Agreement (including the cost of complying with provisions of this Agreement),
then, to the extent such increase in such costs is greater than (x) 1 basis point of the aggregate deposits in the Master Accounts
(the “Cost Sharing Threshold”) as of the most recently completed calendar month, but less than (y)10 basis points
of the aggregate deposits in the Master Accounts as of the most recently completed calendar month (the “Cost Sharing Cap”),
then the Depository Institutions, on the one hand, and the Broker Dealers, on the other hand, will equally share such increase
in costs above the Cost Sharing Threshold, with the

 

    8

    

    

party not otherwise
responsible for such costs reimbursing the party bearing such costs for 50% of the increase in such costs above the Cost Sharing
Threshold. If the increase in costs is greater than the Cost Sharing Cap, the party that is not otherwise responsible for such
costs has 30 days to elect to pay for 100% of the costs above the Cost Sharing Cap. If such party does not elect to pay for all
of such costs, then the other party (i.e., the party that is bearing such costs) can terminate the Agreement any time, with the
Run-Off Period to begin immediately upon such termination, and with the parties to continue to share the increase in costs above
the Cost Sharing Threshold and below the Cost Sharing Cap until the end of the Run-Off Period. If such other party does not elect
to terminate the Agreement, the parties will continue to share equally in the increase in costs above the Cost Sharing Threshold
and below the Cost Sharing Cap. The parties agree to discuss in good faith any ways to minimize or mitigate such increase (or
potential increase) in costs. Such discussions may occur before the change (or proposed change) that is expected to result in
such increase cost is implemented or effective. For the avoidance of doubt, no party shall be required to disclose to the other
party confidential supervisory information which by law may not be disclosed.

 

(l)  
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section ‎5,
each “Permitted Notional Investment” (as defined in the 2013 IDA) outstanding as of the Closing shall remain in effect
in accordance with its terms, including with respect to the yield, maturity date and principal amount, and such “Permitted
Notional Investments” shall otherwise be deemed to be Fixed Rate Obligation Amounts hereunder.

 

6.  
Withdrawals from and Closure of a Master Account.
Subject to Section 5, withdrawals from a Master Account may be made prior to 2:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on any Business Day only
by the applicable Broker-Dealer, as agent for its Customers. All withdrawals shall be made no more than once a day on any Business
Day pursuant to instructions delivered by such Broker-Dealer, or its respective messenger and are in all cases subject to the
requirements of Section 5. Such Broker-Dealer or messenger, as applicable, shall receive evidence of the Depository Institution’s
receipt of the withdrawal and transfer instructions for same day funds representing the total of such withdrawals to be made to
such Broker-Dealer as agent for its Customers. If directed by such Broker-Dealer or its respective messenger, as applicable, the
Depository Institution will transfer funds to accounts at another depository institution. Each Broker-Dealer agrees that upon
its receipt of such payment for withdrawals, the Depository Institution shall have no further obligation and shall be discharged
as to the Broker-Dealer, and any Customers on whose behalf such payment was made, and that the Depository Institution shall have
no further obligation with respect to the funds represented by such withdrawal other than the obligation to pay any accrued and
unpaid interest relating to those funds. Any Master Account may only be closed by the Broker-Dealers, as agent for the Customers,
in each case subject to the requirements of Section 5.

 

7.  
Registration at the Depository Institutions.

 

(a) Pursuant
to instructions received from a Customer, if a Broker-Dealer so advises a Depository Institution, such Depository Institution
shall record a money market deposit account on behalf of such Customer on the books and records of the Depository Institution
in the name of such Customer if such Customer terminates its agency relationship with respect to the applicable
Master Account at the Depository Institution. Upon request, such Broker-Dealer will provide the Depository Institution with
confirmation of such Customer’s instructions. To facilitate such recordation in the name of

 

    9

    

    

such Customer,
and upon direction by such Customer, the Broker-Dealer shall reasonably cooperate with the Depository Institution in establishing
the identity of such Customer, including, without limitation, the name, address and taxpayer identification number of such Customer
and such other information as the Depository Institution may request in order to comply with applicable law. Upon recordation
of a money market deposit account in the name of a Customer, the provisions of this Agreement shall no longer govern the terms
of such account and such Broker-Dealer shall have no further obligation with respect to servicing such Customer’s Customer
Account.

 

8.  
Books and Records Concerning the Customer and Master Accounts.

 

(a)  
As agent and custodian for the Customers, each Broker-Dealer will maintain, in good
faith and in the regular course of business, and in accordance with applicable published requirements of the FDIC (including,
without limitation, FDIC requirements for pass-through deposit insurance coverage), books and records setting forth the daily
balance and accrued interest in the Customer Accounts and identifying with respect to such Customer Accounts the names, addresses
and social security or tax identification numbers of the Customers and any representative capacity in which the Customers may
be acting. It is understood that the names, addresses and social security or tax identification numbers of the Customers, and
any representative capacity in which they may be acting, will be maintained on each Broker-Dealers’ books and records in
its capacity as agent and custodian for the Customers and will not be disclosed to the Depository Institutions except as otherwise
required by law or this Agreement.

over the Depository Institutions reasonable access from time to time upon request to the books and records of such Broker-Dealer,
and each Broker-Dealer shall cooperate with such independent auditors and agencies to the extent necessary to enable the Depository
Institutions to comply with their obligations under Regulation D and other regulatory guidelines with regard to such requests
for access.

 

(c)  
Each Broker-Dealer shall at all times maintain, or cause to be maintained, an emergency
system to ensure that the books and records concerning the Customer Accounts and Master Accounts will be retrievable within a
reasonable period of time in the event of a computer failure or malfunction.

Each Broker-Dealer may delegate to a third party service provider its respective duties
under this Section ‎8; provided, that (i) the third party service provider will at all times maintain, or cause to
be maintained, an emergency system to ensure that the books and records concerning the Customer Accounts and Master Accounts will
be retrievable within a reasonable period of time in the event of a computer failure or malfunction and (ii) each such Broker-Dealer
will remain liable to the Depository Institutions for such delegated services to the same extent as if such Broker-Dealer had

thereof; and

 

(v)  
such other information as the Depository Institution may reasonably request to facilitate
or demonstrate its compliance with Regulation D (or any successor regulation).

 

(f)  
Not later than 15 days following the end of each calendar quarter, the Broker-Dealers
shall furnish to the Depository Institutions such information, and in such format, as the Depository Institutions may from time
to time specify in connection with the preparation of their quarterly Consolidated Reports of Condition and Income (Call Reports)
or comparable report to be filed with the OCC, the FDIC or any other member of the Federal Financial Institutions Examination
Council.

 

(g)  
Each Broker-Dealer shall at all times comply, and ensure that any third party service

applicable requirements of OCC Bulletin 2005-13 (12 C.F.R. Part 30, Appendix B) and OCC Bulletin 2013-29, and each Broker-Dealer

(c)  
Neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the consummation of the transactions

(a)  
Schwab and the Broker-Dealers shall provide each Customer with Customer Disclosures
setting forth a description of the terms and conditions of the Customer Accounts, including applicable interest rates, and Master

to the Customer Disclosures to the Depository Institutions for their review and approval prior to providing the amended Customer
Disclosures to Customers.

 

(b)  
The Broker-Dealers agree to periodically provide each Customer with a statement on

13.  
Indemnification.

 

(a)  
Each Depository Institution agrees, severally and not jointly, to indemnify and hold
harmless Schwab and the Broker-Dealers and their Affiliates, and their respective officers, directors, employees, agents and contractors,
from and against any liability, claim, cost or expense (including court costs and attorneys’ fees) arising out of such Depository
Institution’s

 

    16

    

    

material breach
of any of its representations, warranties, covenants or other agreements set forth in this Agreement.

 

(b)  
Schwab agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Depository Institutions and their
Affiliates, and their respective officers, directors, employees, agents and contractors, from and against any liability, claim,
cost or expense (including court costs and attorneys’ fees) arising out of a material breach of any of representations,
warranties, covenants or other agreements of Schwab or a Broker-Dealer set forth in this Agreement.

 

(c)  
For purposes of this Section ‎13, the party obligated to provide the indemnity
described in Sections ‎13(a) and ‎13(b) will be referred to as the “Indemnitor” and the party
receiving the benefit of such indemnity will be referred to as the “Indemnitee.” The Indemnitee shall give the Indemnitor
prompt notice of any claim for indemnification; provided, that the Indemnitee’s failure to give such prompt notice
shall not relieve the Indemnitor of its indemnification obligation except to the extent that the Indemnitor was materially prejudiced
by such failure. The Indemnitor shall have no obligation pursuant to Section ‎13(a) or ‎13(b), as applicable,
unless the Indemnitee permits the Indemnitor to assume and control the defense of the related claim, suit, action or proceeding,
with counsel chosen by the Indemnitor (who must be reasonably acceptable to the Indemnitee). The Indemnitor shall not enter into
any settlement or compromise of any such claim, suit, action or proceeding without the Indemnitee’s prior written approval,
which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld.

 

(d)  
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indemnitee may, at its own option and expense,
employ counsel to monitor any claim for which it is entitled to indemnification under this Section ‎13, and counsel
for the Indemnitor shall provide cooperation and assistance to such counsel for the purpose of apprising the Indemnitee of the
status of such proceeding, including the status of settlement negotiations, if any. Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed
to limit or eliminate the right of a party at any time to waive indemnification to which it is otherwise entitled pursuant to
this Section ‎13 by independently defending or settling any claim on its own behalf; provided, that the party
exercising this right will provide the other party with prompt written notice of its intent to do so, and such party agrees that
it will not be entitled to seek any other remedy against the other with respect to the subject matter of the claim for which it
has waived indemnification.

 

(e)  
Notwithstanding any other provision herein, neither party will be liable to the other
for:

 

(i)  
special, indirect, consequential, punitive, exemplary or incidental damages of the
other party of any kind, including but not limited to lost profits, lost savings, and loss of use of facility or equipment, regardless
of whether arising from breach of contract, warranty, tort, strict liability or otherwise, even if advised of the possibility
of such losses or damages or if such losses or damages could have been reasonably foreseen, except in any such case for amounts
awarded by a final judicial determination or settlement to third parties; or

 

(ii)  
any delay or failure to perform its obligations under this Agreement to the extent
that such delays or failures result from causes or circumstances beyond its reasonable control, including, but not limited to,
failure of electronic or mechanical

 

    17

    

    

equipment,
strikes, failure of common carrier or utility systems, severe weather, market disruptions, or other causes commonly known as “acts
of God”; in any such event, in order to be so excused from such delay or failure to perform, the party so affected must
give notice of the cause of such delay or failure to the other party as promptly as practicable and use reasonable efforts to
remedy the cause of such delay or failure if practicable and take all reasonable actions as may be appropriate to continue performance
under this Agreement.

 

14.  
Term; Termination; Related Procedures.

 

(a)  
The initial term of this Agreement shall expire on July 1, 2031 (the “Initial
Expiration Date”) and will automatically renew for a term that is five (5) years from such Initial Expiration Date (for
purpose of clarity, such initial renewal term would expire on July 1, 2036) and from each subsequent fifth anniversary of the
prior expiration date unless, in the case of any such renewal term, Schwab, on the one hand, or the Depository Institutions, on
the other hand, have given the other written notice of non-renewal at least two (2) years prior to (x) the Initial Expiration
Date (for purposes of clarity, such date of notice being July 1, 2029), or (y) prior to the expiration date of any subsequent
renewal term of this Agreement. If none of the parties gives written notice of non-renewal at least two (2) years prior to the
end of a five-year renewal term, this Agreement shall automatically renew for a successive five-year term at the end of such renewal
term.

 

(b)  
The Depository Institutions shall have the right to terminate this Agreement by written
notice to Schwab (i) in order to comply with any order or directive received by the Depository Institutions or TD Parent from
any applicable regulatory agency, including, without limitation, OSFI, the Federal Reserve, the OCC and the FDIC, to terminate
this Agreement or (ii) pursuant to Section 5(k) above.

 

(c)  
Schwab shall have the right to terminate this Agreement by written notice to the Depository
Institutions (i) in order to comply with any order or directive received by Schwab or the Broker-Dealers from any applicable
regulatory agency, including, without limitation, the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority
or the Federal Reserve, to terminate this Agreement or (ii) pursuant to Section 5(k) above.

 

(d)  
Schwab and the Depository Institutions shall each have the right to terminate this
Agreement by written notice to the other if TD Parent no longer owns, directly or indirectly, a majority of the issued and outstanding
shares of common stock of either or both of the Depository Institutions; provided, that Schwab shall not have a right of
termination pursuant to this Section ‎14(d) as long as TD Parent, directly or indirectly, is able to provide the Broker-Dealers
through an Affiliate of TD Parent, without material interruption to their Customers, with sweep deposit accounts on terms, including
product terms, economics (including, but not limited to, pricing) and FDIC deposit insurance coverage, at least as favorable in
all material respects as offered to the Broker-Dealers hereunder immediately prior to the date on which the termination event
provided for in this Section ‎14(d) first occurred.

 

(e)  
Schwab and the Depository Institutions shall each have the right to terminate this
Agreement by written notice to the other if both Depository Institutions are

 

    18

    

    

deemed (x)
“adequately capitalized,” as defined in 12 C.F.R. Section 337.6, and has failed to obtain the waiver referenced in
12 C.F.R. Section 337.6(c) within 180 days of such Depository Institutions being deemed adequately capitalized, or (y) “undercapitalized,”
as defined in 12 C.F.R. Section 337.6 or any lower category set forth therein; provided, that Schwab shall not have a right
of termination pursuant to this Section ‎14(e) as long as TD Parent, directly or indirectly, is able to provide the
Broker-Dealers, through an Affiliate of TD Parent without material interruption to their Customers, with sweep deposit accounts
on terms, including product terms, economics (including, but not limited to, pricing) and FDIC deposit insurance coverage, at
least as favorable in all material respects as offered to the Broker-Dealers hereunder immediately prior to the date on which
the termination event provided for in this Section ‎14(e) first occurred, provided further that if at any time
the Depository Institutions are either (a) deemed to be “adequately capitalized” as defined in 12 C.F.R. Section 337.6
and have not received and continue to benefit from an effective waiver referenced in 12 C.F.R. 337.6(c) within the 180 day period
referenced in clause (x) above, or (b) deemed to be “undercapitalized” as defined in 12 C.F.R. Section 337.6 or any
other lower category set forth therein, then Schwab and the Broker Dealers shall have the right to sweep new or rollover funds
(but, for the avoidance of doubt, not the right to terminate any Fixed Rate Obligation Amounts prior to the applicable maturity
date) to one or more other depository institution of their choice (which may, for the avoidance of doubt, include one or more
depository institution controlled by Schwab), but only for such period of time until the Depository Institutions no longer are
viewed as falling within conditions (a) or (b) above.

 

(f)  
In the event that Schwab or any Broker-Dealer, on the one hand, or the Depository
Institutions, on the other hand, materially breaches any of their respective covenants set forth in this Agreement, as applicable,
and fails to cure such breach within 90 days of receipt of written notice of such breach from the non-breaching parties if any
regulatory action is required to cure such breach (or, if no regulatory action is required to cure such breach, within 45 days
of receipt of written notice of such breach), the non-breaching parties shall have the right to terminate this Agreement upon
written notice to the breaching parties.

 

(g)  
Each of the parties agree that it will not exercise its right to terminate this Agreement
(unless in the case of a termination pursuant to Section ‎14‎(b) or Section ‎14‎(c)
an immediate termination of this Agreement is required to comply with any applicable law, regulation, order or directive) until
the CEO of Schwab and the CEO of TD Parent have had a reasonable opportunity to discuss the circumstances that give rise to the
right of termination and are unable to resolve the matter within ninety (90) days after the referral of the matter to them.

 

(h)  
Any termination of this Agreement pursuant to Sections ‎14(b)-14(f) shall
become effective in accordance with the term thereof, in which case the Agreement shall immediately enter the Run-Off Period (as
defined below) (unless and to the extent, in the case of a termination pursuant to Section ‎14‎(b) or Section
‎14‎(c), such Run-off Period is not permitted by applicable laws, regulations, orders or directives, in
which case such run-off shall be conducted in compliance with such applicable laws, regulations, orders or directives). In the
case of an expiration of this Agreement pursuant to Section 14(a), upon such expiration, this Agreement then shall enter the Run-Off
Period. The “Run-Off Period” is the period in which (a) the amount of aggregate deposits in the Master Accounts shall
not be allowed by Schwab to increase above

 

    19

    

    

the amount
that is then in such Master Accounts; and (b) the Broker-Dealers shall reduce the aggregate deposits in the Master Accounts without
regard to the Reduction Limit or the $50 billion floor set forth in Section 5; provided that, except as set forth in Section
14(i), the Broker-Dealers shall have no right to terminate any Fixed Rate Obligation Amounts prior to the applicable maturity
date and upon the applicable maturity date shall withdraw all deposits subject to such Fixed Rate Obligation Amounts.

 

(i)  
Upon expiration of the Agreement pursuant to Section 14(a) (and, for the avoidance
of doubt, not in connection with a termination of this Agreement pursuant to Sections ‎14(b)-14(f)), the Broker-Dealers
may, upon at least two years’ prior written notice prior to the expiration date (the “Non-Renewal Notice”),
in the Run-Off Period (but, for the avoidance of doubt, not until the Run-Off Period has commenced), withdraw deposits from Fixed
Rate Obligation Amounts prior to the maturity date of such Fixed Rate Obligation Amounts, subject to paying the Depository Institutions
the Economic Replacement Value (as defined below) with respect to such Fixed Rate Obligation Amounts. Such Non-Renewal Notice
must set forth the schedule for deposits (including the Fixed Rate Obligations) to be withdrawn (the “Withdrawal Schedule”)
during the Run-Off Period (for clarity, such withdrawal will not begin earlier than the commencement of the Run-Off Period) and
the Depository Institutions can select the actual date of termination of such Fixed Rate Obligation Amounts, provided such date
shall be no earlier than 60 days before the scheduled withdrawal date in the Withdrawal Schedule and no later than the scheduled
withdrawal date in the Withdrawal Schedule. Upon delivery of written notice (“Exemption Notice”) to the Depository
Institutions at least two years prior to the beginning of the Exempt Period (as defined below), the Broker-Dealers may during
the five year period prior to the expiration of the term of this Agreement as determined pursuant to Section 14(a) (such five
year period, the “Exempt Period”) establish new Fixed Rate Obligation Amounts (the “Exempt Fixed Rate Obligation
Amounts”) that comply with the requirements set forth in Section 5. In a Non-Renewal Notice, the Broker-Dealers may also
establish Exempt Fixed Rate Obligation Amounts that have maturity dates consistent with the Withdrawal Schedule and comply with
the requirements set forth in Section 5.

 

(j)  
For purposes of this Agreement, “Economic Replacement Value” has the meaning
given to it in Exhibit C.

 

(k)  
Any right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Sections ‎14(b)-14(f)
shall not be deemed to be the exclusive remedy for breach of this Agreement but shall be in addition to all other remedies under
this Agreement or available at law or in equity.

 

15.  
Survival. Following expiration
or termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section ‎14 hereof, Sections ‎13, 14, ‎15, ‎16, ‎19, ‎20,
‎21, ‎24, ‎25 and ‎27 shall survive any such expiration or termination. All other sections of this Agreement shall
survive until the Master Accounts established at the Depository Institutions are closed.

 

16.  
Confidentiality.

 

(a)  
Schwab and the Depository Institutions mutually acknowledge that, in the course of
their dealings with each other in connection with this Agreement, each may learn Confidential Information of or concerning the
other party or third persons to whom the other

 

    20

    

    

party has an
obligation of confidentiality. For the purposes of this Agreement, “Confidential Information” shall mean, with respect
to any person, any confidential, business, trade secret, proprietary or other like information that is provided, produced or disclosed
by such person in connection with performance of this Agreement, whether in written, electronic or oral form, whether tangible
or intangible, and whether or not labeled or designated as “confidential.” Confidential Information also includes
any information regarding the contents of this Agreement.

 

(b)  
Each party shall treat all Confidential Information received from the other party
as proprietary, and shall not disclose such Confidential Information orally or in writing to any third party without the prior
written consent of the other applicable party, and shall not appropriate any of such Confidential Information for its own use
or for the use of any other person. Without limiting the foregoing, each party agrees to take at least such precautions to protect
the other party’s Confidential Information as it takes to protect its own Confidential Information, but in no event shall
such precautions be less than reasonable or as required by applicable law.

 

(c)  
Upon the request of another party following the termination of the Agreement and the
closing of the Master Accounts, each party shall (a) return to such other party all tangible items containing any of such other
party’s Confidential Information, including all copies, abstractions and compilations thereof, and (b) remove from its computer
systems any record in electronic form that contains any of such other party’s Confidential Information, including all copies,
abstractions and compilations thereof, without retaining any copies of the items required to be returned. Any party may further
require that the other parties certify in writing that they have fulfilled their obligations under this Section ‎16(c).

 

(d)  
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, each party may keep records of the
other parties’ Confidential Information for recordkeeping as required by applicable law; provided, that the confidentiality
of all such Confidential Information is maintained in a manner consistent with the requirements of this Agreement. The obligations
of this Section ‎16 extend to the employees, agents, service providers and subcontractors of each party and their respective
Affiliates, and each party shall inform such persons of their obligations under this Section ‎16.

 

(e)  
Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to restrict disclosure or use of any
information otherwise constituting Confidential Information that: (a) was in the possession of or rightfully known by the recipient,
without an obligation to maintain its confidentiality, prior to receipt from the other party; (b) is or becomes generally known
to the public without violation of this Agreement; (c) is obtained by the recipient in good faith from a third person having the
right to disclose it without an obligation of confidentiality; or (d) is independently developed by the receiving party without
the participation of any persons who have had access to the other party’s Confidential Information.

 

(f)  
Each party shall, upon learning of any unauthorized disclosure or use of another party’s
Confidential Information, notify such other party promptly and cooperate fully with such party in protecting its Confidential
Information.

 

    21

    

    

(g)  If
any party believes it is required, by applicable law or by a subpoena or order of a court, regulatory agency or self-regulatory
organization having appropriate jurisdiction, to disclose any of another party’s Confidential Information, subject to applicable
law that may prohibit the rendering of such notification, it shall promptly notify the applicable party prior to any disclosure
and shall make all reasonable efforts to allow such other party an opportunity to seek a protective order or other judicial relief.
Despite any contrary provision in this Agreement, if the party seeking to prevent disclosure of such Confidential Information
does not obtain a protective order or other judicial relief within a reasonable period of time, the party required to disclose
the Confidential Information may disclose such information only to the extent required and will continue to treat the Confidential
Information in accordance with this Agreement for all other purposes. Notwithstanding the foregoing and in connection with the
Depository Institutions’ compliance with Regulation D, if a Depository Institution receives a request for information regarding
a Customer Account at such Depository Institution from a federal bank regulatory agency with jurisdiction over such Depository
Institution, the Depository Institution will inform Schwab, of the request and Schwab, will provide (or cause the Broker-Dealers
to provide) the information sought as soon as possible, but in any event within ten (10) days. Notwithstanding anything in this
Agreement to the contrary, nothing in this Agreement will prevent a party from disclosing any Confidential Information to any
regulatory authority having jurisdiction over it or its subsidiaries in connection with ordinary course reporting/discussions
between it or its subsidiaries and such authorities, or as may otherwise be required by law or regulation and, accordingly, the
prohibitions of disclosure, obligations of notice and related provisions in this Agreement do not apply to any such disclosure
to any such regulatory authority.

 

(h)  
Each party, with reasonable notice to the other parties and during normal business
hours, shall have the right to inspect the other parties’ books and records relating to this Agreement in order to monitor
the other parties’ compliance with applicable privacy policies, laws and regulations. The party requesting the inspection
shall bear all costs in connection with such inspection. Each party agrees that it shall not interfere with the ordinary and normal
course of the other parties’ business in conducting the inspection.

 

(i)  
The parties acknowledge that disclosure of any Confidential Information by the party
receiving it will cause irreparable injury to the disclosing party, its customers and other persons, and is inadequately compensable
in monetary damages. Accordingly, a party may seek injunctive relief in any court of competent jurisdiction for the breach or
threatened breach of this Section ‎16, in addition to any other remedies in law or equity, and no party will raise
the defense of an adequate remedy at law in opposition to any such petition for injunctive relief. This Section ‎16(i)
shall not apply to disclosures required by applicable law, as provided in, and under the conditions of Section ‎16(g)
hereof.

Schwab to any Broker Dealer; provided no such assignment shall relieve Schwab of any of its obligations hereunder. Any other attempted

and permitted assigns of each party, irrespective of any change with regard to the name of or the personnel of any party.

23.  
Invalidity. If any provision

26.

reference to a statute, rule or regulation in this Agreement is deemed also to refer to any amendment or successor provision to

27.  
Gramm-Leach-Bliley Compliance and Related Matters.

 

(a)  
The Depository Institutions and Schwab hereby acknowledge that they are subject to
the privacy regulations under Title V of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, 15 U.S.C. Section 6801 et seq., pursuant to which regulation
the Broker-Dealers are required to obtain certain undertakings from the Depository Institutions, and the Depository Institutions
are required to obtain certain undertakings from the Broker-Dealers, with regard to the privacy, use and protection of nonpublic
personal financial information of their respective Customers or prospective customers. Therefore, notwithstanding anything to
the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Depository Institutions and Schwab (on behalf of the Broker-Dealers) agree that
(i) they shall not disclose or use any Customer Data except to the extent necessary to carry out obligations under this Agreement
and for no other purpose; (ii) they shall not disclose Customer Data to any third party, including, without limitation, third
party service providers without the prior consent of each other and an agreement in writing from the third party to use or disclose
such Customer Data only to the extent necessary to carry out the Depository Institutions’ obligations or the Broker-Dealers’
obligations under this Agreement, and for no other purposes; (iii) they shall maintain, and shall require all third parties approved
under clause (ii) to maintain, effective information security measures to protect Customer Data from unauthorized disclosure or
use; and (iv) they shall provide each other with information regarding such security measures upon reasonable request and promptly
provide information regarding any failure of such security measures or any security breach related to Customer Data. The Broker-Dealers
shall provide all Customers with copies of the Broker-Dealers’ privacy policies as in effect from time to time, and comply
with the provisions of such policies. In furtherance of the foregoing, the Broker-Dealers shall take appropriate remedial actions
upon the occurrence of any breach of such privacy policies or any federal or state privacy, customer information security or similar
laws, regulations or guidelines. The obligations set forth in this Section ‎27 shall survive termination of this Agreement.

 

(b)  
For purposes of this Agreement, “Customer Data” means the nonpublic personal
information (as defined in 15 U.S.C. Section 6809(4)) of Customers or prospective customers (and/or each Broker-Dealer’s
Affiliates) received by a Depository Institution, or of a Depository Institution’s customers or prospective customers received
by a Broker-Dealer, in connection with the performance of obligations under this Agreement, including, but not limited to (i)
an individual’s name, address, e-mail address, IP address, telephone number and/or social security number; (ii) the fact
that an individual has a relationship with such Depository Institution or a Broker-Dealer and/or its respective Affiliates; or
(iii) an individual’s account information.

 

    25

    

    

(c)  
The Broker-Dealers and the Depository Institutions may disclose Customer Data (i)
pursuant to a request by any governmental or regulatory agency or individual body having authority or jurisdiction over the Broker-Dealers
or the Depository Institutions, as the case may be, pursuant to a request or order under applicable laws or regulations, and (ii)
to regulatory examiners, their Affiliates, auditors, and counsel in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby. In the
event a subpoena or other legal process concerning Customer Data disclosed by a Depository Institution to the Broker-Dealers,
or the Broker-Dealers to the Depository Institution, is served upon a Broker-Dealers or a Depository Institution, as the case
may be, such Broker-Dealer or such Depository Institution, as the case may be, agrees that it will notify the other promptly upon
receipt of such subpoena or other legal process and will reasonably cooperate with the other in any lawful effort by the other
to contest the legal validity of such subpoena or other legal process.

 

28.  
Litigation. 

 

(a)  
Schwab and each Broker-Dealer will promptly advise the Depository Institution of any
legal or administrative action of which Schwab or such Broker-Dealer 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 Money Market Deposit
Accounts as contemplated by this Agreement.

 

(b)  
Each Depository Institution will promptly advise Schwab 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 Money Market Deposit Accounts as contemplated
by this Agreement.

 

29.  
No Recourse to the Broker-Dealers.
It is understood and agreed that
none of the Broker-Dealers is a guarantor of, and shall in no way be liable to perform, the obligations of the Depository Institutions
under the Master Accounts. 

 

30.  
Business Continuity Plan. Each
of the Depository Institutions and Schwab warrants that it has and will maintain throughout the term of this Agreement a written
business continuity plan (“BCP”) to enable it to recover and resume the services provided by it to the other party
or parties under this Agreement within one Business Day in the event of any disruptive event. Each of the Depository Institutions
and Schwab further represents and warrants that it has tested its BCP and will continue to conduct sufficient ongoing verification
testing for the recovery and resumption of services provided to the other party or parties under this Agreement and will update
its BCP at least annually. Each party will notify the other party or parties within 30 days of any material alterations to its
BCP that would impair its ability to recover and resume any interrupted services it provides to the other party or parties. Upon
request by the other party or parties, each party will provide to the other party or parties a description of its BCP procedures
as they relate to the recovery and resumption of the services provided to the other party or parties accompanied by a written
certification that the BCP has undergone review and testing to account for any changes to such services. Each party will promptly
notify the other party or parties of any actual, threatened, or anticipated event that does or may disrupt or impact the services
provided by it to the other party or parties pursuant to this

 

    26

    

    

Agreement and
will cooperate fully with the other party or parties to minimize any such disruption and promptly restore and recover the services.

 

31.  
Amendments. The terms of this
Agreement may not be modified, supplemented or rescinded by a party to this Agreement except in writing signed by each party to
be bound by such modification, supplement or rescission.

 

32.  
Benefit of the Parties. This
Agreement is entered into for the sole and exclusive benefit of the parties hereto. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed
to grant any person other than the parties hereto, and their respective successors and permitted assigns, any right, remedy or
claim under or with respect to this Agreement or any provision hereof.

 

33.  
No Agency. Each party represents
and warrants that it is an independent contractor with no authority to contract for the other party or in any way to bind or to
commit the other party to any agreement of any kind or to assume any liabilities of any nature in the name or on behalf of the
other party. Under no circumstances will either party, or any of its employees, hold itself out as or be considered an agent,
employee, partner or joint venturer of the other party.

 

34.  
No Waiver. The failure of any
party to require performance by another party of any provision of this Agreement shall in no way affect the full right to require
such performance at any time thereafter. All rights or remedies of a party specified in this Agreement and all other rights or
remedies that either party may have at law, in equity or otherwise shall be distinct, separate and cumulative rights or remedies,
and no one of them, whether exercised by the party seeking enforcement or not, shall be deemed to be in exclusion of any other
right or remedy of such party.

 

35.  
Amendment and Restatement of the 2013 IDA. Each
of the parties hereto hereby agrees that this Agreement amends, restates and supersedes the 2013 IDA (and upon the Closing, Schwab
will cause TDA and the TDA-Broker Dealers to consent and agree to such amendment and restatement), which is superseded and of
no further force or effect effective as of the Closing.

 

36.  
Authorized Representative of the Broker-Dealers.
Whenever any provision of this Agreement requires the Depository Institutions to give any notice or instructions to or receive
notice or instructions from the Broker-Dealers, the Depository Institutions may give such notice or instructions or rely on such
notice or instructions from Schwab, acting on behalf of the Broker-Dealers.

Exhibit
A

 

The amount to be paid to the
Broker-Dealers in accordance with Section 5(e)(i) of the Agreement in respect of a calendar month shall be equal to:

 

		a)	The Monthly Fixed Rate Crediting
                                         Amount (as defined in Note 1) for such calendar month; plus

 

		b)	The Float Crediting Amount (as
                                         defined in Note 2) for such calendar month.

 

Note 1.

 

Fixed Rate.

 

"Monthly Fixed Rate Crediting
Amount", for a calendar month, will be equal to the sum of all Monthly Individual Fixed Rate Crediting Amounts.

 

"Monthly Individual Fixed
Rate Crediting Amount", in respect of each Fixed Rate Obligation Amount, will be equal to the total dollar amount accrued
on such Fixed Rate Obligation Amount during the applicable calendar month calculated as follows: (Yield on such Fixed Rate Obligation
Amount) multiplied by (the amount of such Fixed Rate Obligation Amount) multiplied by (a fraction
the numerator of which is the actual number of days in such calendar month for which such Fixed Rate Obligation Amount is in place
and the denominator of which is 365).

 

The yield on each Fixed Rate
Obligation Amount (the “Yield”) shall be equal to the mid-market fixed coupon rate quoted on Bloomberg Swap Manager
(Bloomberg page SWPM or any successor page) for a USD, monthly pay (both fixed and floating leg) swap versus one month LIBOR (subject
to Exhibit D), with effective and maturity dates corresponding to those of the applicable Fixed Rate Obligation Amount (for illustration
purposes only, such rate is shown as equal to 1.382763% per annum as illustrated below in a screen shot of Bloomberg page SWPM
in Exhibit A1). The swap quote shall be based on a day count convention for the fixed leg of the swap of 30I/360 and a day count
convention for the floating leg of the swap of Actual/365. The Yield will be calculated as a percentage to 6 decimal places.

 

Set forth below (Exhibit A2)
is an illustration of the Bloomberg Swap Manager settings to be used for the establishment of the fixed rate for each Fixed Rate
Obligation Amount. If Bloomberg Swap Manager is not available for any reason, the parties will use an alternative source, agreed
upon by the parties, each acting reasonably, to determine the Yield.

 

For clarity, the Monthly Individual
Fixed Rate Crediting Amount will include Yield accruing on the effective date but not the maturity date of each Fixed Rate Obligation
Amount.

 

    

    

    

Note 2.

 

Floating Rate.

 

“Floating Rate Obligations”,
on any given day, will be the amount equal to the total amount of deposits in the Master Accounts less the sum of all Fixed Rate
Obligation Amounts as of 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time on such day.

 

“Float Crediting Amount”
for a calendar month will be equal to the sum of all Daily Float Credit Amounts for such month.

 

"Daily Float Credit Amount"
for any day will be equal to the amount accrued on the Floating Rate Obligations for such day based on the Federal Funds Rate
for such day (or, if such day is not a Business Day, the Federal Funds Rate for the immediately preceding Business Day).

 

“Federal Funds Rate”
means the rate per annum (rounded upwards, if necessary, to the next higher 1/100th of 1%) representing the daily effective
federal funds rate, as published in Federal Reserve Statistical Release H.15 (http://www.federalreserve.gov/releases/h15/data.htm)
or any successor or substitute publication selected by the Depository Institutions. If, for any reason, such rate is unavailable,
then “Federal Funds Rate” shall mean a daily rate that is determined, in the opinion of the Depository Institutions,
to be the rate at which federal funds are being offered for sale in the national federal funds market at 9:00 a.m. (New York City
time).

 

    

    

    

Exhibit A1: 

 

    

    

    

Exhibit A2: 

 

    

    

    

Exhibit
B

Methodology for Calculating Applicable FDIC Deposit Insurance Premium Assessments

 

To determine the total base assessment
for the Depository Institutions for any period divide the FDIC deposit insurance premium assessments for the Depository Institutions
for such period by the average total deposits of the Depository Institutions for such period and multiply by average sweep deposits
of the Depository Institutions in the Master Accounts for such period (the “Base Assessment”).

 

The Base Assessment shall be
recalculated by    [***]

 

The Depository Institutions are
invoiced the FDIC deposit insurance premium assessments on a quarterly basis. The Depository Institutions will apply the most
recent quarterly assessment received to the monthly fee statements and reconcile quarterly upon receipt of the actual invoice
from the FDIC for the periods covered by such monthly fee statements according to the following:

 

	 	Fee
    Statement Month

Exhibit
D - LIBOR Fallback Language

 

The parties acknowledge that
the UK's Financial Conduct Authority has announced that, at the end of 2021, it will no longer persuade or compel panel banks
to submit rates required to calculate the London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR"). Accordingly, the parties agree that
using a USD fixed rate swap rate versus one-month LIBOR to establish the Yield on Fixed Rate Obligation Amounts (or other calculations
as otherwise required under this Agreement) may not be possible or desirable over the full term of this Agreement.

 

The Alternative Reference Rates
Committee ("ARRC") was convened by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York ("FRBNY") and in June 2017 the ARRC
selected the Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR") as the alternative reference rate for USD LIBOR. The FRBNY began
publishing SOFR daily in April 2018.

 

The International Swaps and Derivatives
Association is working to update its definitions and establish an IBOR Fallbacks Protocol ("ISDA Protocol"). Derivative
counterparties who both agree to adhere to this protocol will automatically have their legacy derivative agreements updated to
incorporate the new fallback language set out in the ISDA Protocol.

 

The ISDA Protocol will specify
a trigger for when the provisions of the ISDA Protocol will be effective for USD fixed rate swaps versus LIBOR ("ISDA Effective
Date"). Pursuant to the ISDA Protocol, legacy USD fixed rate swaps will have a revised rate setting mechanism for the floating
(LIBOR) leg for periods following the ISDA Effective Date whereby the floating rate will be SOFR plus a spread specific to the
LIBOR tenor being revised, specified in the ISDA Protocol ("Spread").

 

While the Fixed Rate Obligation
Amounts are not derivatives, the parties have agreed to reference the ISDA Protocol for purposes of calculations under this Agreement
through and following the LIBOR transition.

 

The LIBOR transition will not
give rise to a need to adjust the Yield on any Fixed Rate Obligation Amounts established prior to the ISDA Effective Date. However,
the parties agree to use a revised process for establishing the Yield on new Fixed Rate Obligation Amounts established following
the ISDA Effective Date as set out below.

 

From and after the ISDA Effective
Date, the Yield on new Fixed Rate Obligation Amounts shall be equal to the mid-market fixed coupon rate quoted on Bloomberg Swap
Manager (Bloomberg page SWPM, Fixed vs. SOFR (OTC) or any successor page) for a USD, monthly pay (both fixed and floating leg)
swap versus (i) SOFR, plus (ii) the Spread for one month LIBOR, with an effective and maturity date corresponding to those of
the applicable Fixed Rate Obligation Amount (for illustration purposes only, such rate is shown as equal to 1.384941% per annum
as illustrated below in a screen shot of Bloomberg page SWPM in Exhibit D1). The swap quote shall be based on a day count
convention of Actual/365. Set forth below (Exhibit D2) is an illustration of the Bloomberg Swap Manager settings to be used for
the establishment of the fixed rate for each Fixed Rate Obligation Amount. If Bloomberg Swap Manager is not available

 

    

    

    

for any reason, the parties will
use an alternative source, agreed upon by the parties, each acting reasonably, to determine the Yield.

 

From and after the ISDA Effective
Date, the calculations in Exhibits A and C that reference LIBOR will be adjusted in a manner similar to the preceding paragraph.

The closing of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (the “Closing”) shall occur on the Closing Date by means of the exchange by email of .pdf documents, but shall be deemed for all purposes to have occurred at the offices of Hansen Black Anderson Ashcraft PLLC in Lehi, Utah.

The “Purchase Price”, therefore, shall be $1,100,000.00, computed as follows: $1,257,000.00 initial principal balance, less the OID, less the Transaction Expense Amount.

4.    Company Covenants. Until all of Company’s obligations under the Note are paid and performed in full, or within the timeframes otherwise specifically set forth below, Company will at all times 

3

comply with the following covenants: (%4) Company will timely file on the applicable deadline all reports required to be filed with the SEC pursuant to Sections 13 or 15(d) of the 1934 Act, and will take all reasonable action under its control to ensure that adequate current public information with respect to Company, as required in accordance with Rule 144 of the 1933 Act, is publicly available, and will not terminate its status as an issuer required to file reports under the 1934 Act even if the 1934 Act or the rules and regulations thereunder would permit such termination; (%4) the Common Stock shall be listed or quoted for trading on any of (a) NYSE, (b) NASDAQ, (c) OTCQX, or (d) OTCQB; (%4) trading in Company’s Common Stock will not be suspended, halted, chilled, frozen, reach zero bid or otherwise cease trading on Company’s principal trading market; (%4) until such time that the Note has been repaid in full, Company agrees to pay to Investor 10% of the gross proceeds it receives from the sale of any of its Common Stock or other equity of Company, which payments will be applied towards and shall reduce the outstanding balance of the Note; (%4) Company will not enter into any financing transaction with John Kirkland or any entity owned by or affiliated with John Kirkland; and (%4) except as permitted by Section 7 of the Note, Company will not make any Restricted Issuance (as defined below) after the Closing Date without Investor’s prior written consent, which consent may granted or withheld in Investor’s sole and absolute discretion. For purposes hereof, the term “Restricted Issuance” means any issuance or incurrence of any debt other than trade payables in the ordinary course of business or any Company securities, that (A) have or may have conversion rights of any kind, contingent, conditional or otherwise, in which the number of shares that may be issued pursuant to such conversion right varies with the market price of the Common Stock, or (B) are or may become convertible into Common Stock (including without limitation convertible debt, warrants or convertible preferred stock), with a conversion price that varies with the market price of the Common Stock, even if such security only becomes convertible following an event of default, the passage of time, or another trigger event or condition. For avoidance of doubt, the issuance of shares of Common Stock under, pursuant to, in exchange for or in connection with any contract or instrument, whether convertible or not, is deemed a Restricted Issuance for purposes hereof if the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued is based upon or related in any way to the market price of the Common Stock, including, but not limited to, Common Stock issued in connection with a Section 3(a)(9) exchange, a Section 3(a)(10) settlement, or any other similar settlement or exchange. 
5.    Conditions to Company’s Obligation to Sell. The obligation of Company hereunder to issue and sell the Note to Investor at the Closing is subject to the satisfaction, on or before the Closing Date, of each of the following conditions:
5.1.    Investor shall have executed this Agreement and delivered the same to Company.
5.2.    Investor shall have delivered the Purchase Price to Company in accordance with Section 1.2 above.
6.    Conditions to Investor’s Obligation to Purchase. The obligation of Investor hereunder to purchase the Note at the Closing is subject to the satisfaction, on or before the Closing Date, of each of the following conditions, provided that these conditions are for Investor’s sole benefit and may be waived by Investor at any time in its sole discretion:
6.1.    Company shall have executed this Agreement and the Note and delivered the same to Investor.
6.2.    Company shall have delivered to Investor a fully executed Secretary’s Certificate substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B evidencing Company’s approval of the Transaction Documents.

4

6.3.    Company shall have delivered to Investor fully executed copies of all other Transaction Documents required to be executed by Company herein or therein. 
7.    Miscellaneous. The provisions set forth in this Section 7 shall apply to this Agreement, as well as all other Transaction Documents as if these terms were fully set forth therein; provided, however, that in the event there is a conflict between any provision set forth in this Section 8 and any provision in any other Transaction Document, the provision in such other Transaction Document shall govern.
7.1.    Arbitration of Claims. The parties shall submit all Claims (as defined in Exhibit C) arising under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document or any other agreement between the parties and their affiliates or any Claim relating to the relationship of the parties to binding arbitration pursuant to the arbitration provisions set forth in Exhibit C attached hereto (the “Arbitration Provisions”). For the avoidance of doubt, the parties agree that the injunction described in Section 7.3 below may be pursued in an arbitration that is separate and apart from any other arbitration regarding all other Claims arising under the Transaction Documents. The parties hereby acknowledge and agree that the Arbitration Provisions are unconditionally binding on the parties hereto and are severable from all other provisions of this Agreement. By executing this Agreement, Company represents, warrants and covenants that Company has reviewed the Arbitration Provisions carefully, consulted with legal counsel about such provisions (or waived its right to do so), understands that the Arbitration Provisions are intended to allow for the expeditious and efficient resolution of any dispute hereunder, agrees to the terms and limitations set forth in the Arbitration Provisions, and that Company will not take a position contrary to the foregoing representations. Company acknowledges and agrees that Investor may rely upon the foregoing representations and covenants of Company regarding the Arbitration Provisions.
7.2.    Governing Law; Venue. This Agreement shall be construed and enforced in accordance with, and all questions concerning the construction, validity, interpretation and performance of this Agreement shall be governed by, the internal laws of the State of Utah, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of Utah or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Utah. Each party consents to and expressly agrees that the exclusive venue for arbitration of any dispute arising out of or relating to any Transaction Document or the relationship of the parties or their affiliates shall be in Salt Lake County, Utah. Without modifying the parties’ obligations to resolve disputes hereunder pursuant to the Arbitration Provisions, for any litigation arising in connection with any of the Transaction Documents, each party hereto hereby (i) consents to and expressly submits to the exclusive personal jurisdiction of any state or federal court sitting in Salt Lake County, Utah, (ii) expressly submits to the exclusive venue of any such court for the purposes hereof, and (iii) waives any claim of improper venue and any claim or objection that such courts are an inconvenient forum or any other claim, defense or objection to the bringing of any such proceeding in such jurisdiction or to any claim that such venue of the suit, action or proceeding is improper. Company acknowledges that the governing law and venue provisions set forth in this Section 8.2 are material terms to induce Investor to enter into the Transaction Documents and that but for Company’s agreements set forth in this Section 8.2 Investor would not have entered into the Transaction Documents. 
7.3.    Specific Performance. Company acknowledges and agrees that Investor may suffer irreparable harm in the event that Company fails to perform any material provision of this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents in accordance with its specific terms. It is accordingly agreed that Investor shall be entitled to one or more injunctions to prevent or cure breaches of the provisions of this Agreement or such other Transaction Document and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof or thereof, this being in addition to any other remedy to which Investor may be entitled under the Transaction Documents, at law or in equity. For the avoidance of doubt, in the event Investor seeks to obtain an injunction from a 

5

court or an arbitrator against Company or specific performance of any provision of any Transaction Document, such action shall not be a waiver of any right of Investor under any Transaction Document, at law, or in equity, including without limitation its rights to arbitrate any Claim pursuant to the terms of the Transaction Documents, nor shall Investor’s pursuit of an injunction prevent Investor, under the doctrines of claim preclusion, issues preclusion, res judicata or other similar legal doctrines, from pursuing other Claims in the future in a separate arbitration.
7.4.    Counterparts. Each Transaction Document may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one instrument. The parties hereto confirm that any electronic copy of another party’s executed counterpart of a Transaction Document (or such party’s signature page thereof) will be deemed to be an executed original thereof.
7.5.    Document Imaging. Investor shall be entitled, in its sole discretion, to image or make copies of all or any selection of the agreements, instruments, documents, and items and records governing, arising from or relating to any of Company’s loans, including, without limitation, this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, and Investor may destroy or archive the paper originals. The parties hereto (i) waive any right to insist or require that Investor produce paper originals, (ii) agree that such images shall be accorded the same force and effect as the paper originals, (iii) agree that Investor is entitled to use such images in lieu of destroyed or archived originals for any purpose, including as admissible evidence in any demand, presentment or other proceedings, and (iv) further agree that any executed facsimile (faxed), scanned, emailed, or other imaged copy of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document shall be deemed to be of the same force and effect as the original manually executed document.
7.6.    Headings. The headings of this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and shall not form part of, or affect the interpretation of, this Agreement.
7.7.    Severability. In the event that any provision of this Agreement is invalid or unenforceable under any applicable statute or rule of law, then such provision shall be deemed inoperative to the extent that it may conflict therewith and shall be deemed modified to conform to such statute or rule of law. Any provision hereof which may prove invalid or unenforceable under any law shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision hereof.
7.8.    Entire Agreement. This Agreement, together with the other Transaction Documents, contains the entire understanding of the parties with respect to the matters covered herein and therein and, except as specifically set forth herein or therein, neither Company nor Investor makes any representation, warranty, covenant or undertaking with respect to such matters. For the avoidance of doubt, all prior term sheets or other documents between Company and Investor, or any affiliate thereof, related to the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents (collectively, “Prior Agreements”), that may have been entered into between Company and Investor, or any affiliate thereof, are hereby null and void and deemed to be replaced in their entirety by the Transaction Documents. To the extent there is a conflict between any term set forth in any Prior Agreement and the term(s) of the Transaction Documents, the Transaction Documents shall govern.
7.9.    No Reliance. Company acknowledges and agrees that neither Investor nor any of its officers, directors, members, managers, representatives or agents has made any representations or warranties to Company or any of its officers, directors, representatives, agents or employees except as expressly set forth in the Transaction Documents and, in making its decision to enter into the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents, Company is not relying on any representation, warranty, covenant or promise of 

6

Investor or its officers, directors, members, managers, agents or representatives other than as set forth in the Transaction Documents.
7.10.    Amendments. No provision of this Agreement may be waived or amended other than by an instrument in writing signed by both parties hereto.
7.11.    Notices. Any notice required or permitted hereunder shall be given in writing (unless otherwise specified herein) and shall be deemed effectively given on the earliest of: (i) the date delivered, if delivered by personal delivery as against written receipt therefor or by email to an executive officer, or by facsimile (with successful transmission confirmation), (ii) the earlier of the date delivered or the third business day after deposit, postage prepaid, in the United States Postal Service by certified mail, or (iii) the earlier of the date delivered or the third business day after mailing by express courier, with delivery costs and fees prepaid, in each case, addressed to each of the other parties thereunto entitled at the following addresses (or at such other addresses as such party may designate by five (5) calendar days’ advance written notice similarly given to each of the other parties hereto):

This Agreement or any of the severable rights and obligations inuring to the benefit of or to be performed by Investor hereunder may be assigned by Investor to a third party, including its affiliates, which acquires the Note from Investor, without the need to obtain Company’s consent thereto. Company may not assign its rights or obligations under this Agreement or delegate its duties hereunder without the prior written consent of Investor.
7.13.    Survival. The representations and warranties of Company and the agreements and covenants set forth in this Agreement shall survive the Closing hereunder notwithstanding any due diligence investigation conducted by or on behalf of Investor. Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Investor and all its officers, directors, employees, attorneys, and agents for loss or damage arising as a result of or 

7

related to any breach or alleged breach by Company of any of its representations, warranties and covenants set forth in this Agreement or any of its covenants and obligations under this Agreement, including advancement of expenses as they are incurred.
7.14.    Further Assurances.

7.15.    Investor’s Rights and Remedies Cumulative. All rights, remedies, and powers conferred in this Agreement and the Transaction Documents are cumulative and not exclusive of any other rights or remedies, and shall be in addition to every other right, power, and remedy that Investor may have, whether specifically granted in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, or existing at law, in equity, or by statute, and any and all such rights and remedies may be exercised from time to time and as often and in such order as Investor may deem expedient.
7.16.    Attorneys’ Fees and Cost of Collection. In the event of any arbitration or action at law or in equity to enforce or interpret the terms of this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents, the prevailing party for all purposes and shall therefore be entitled to an additional award of the full amount of the attorneys’ fees, deposition costs, and expenses paid by such prevailing party in connection with arbitration or litigation without reduction or apportionment based upon the individual claims or defenses giving rise to the fees and expenses.

If (i) the Note is placed in the hands of an attorney for collection or enforcement prior to commencing arbitration or legal proceedings, or is collected or enforced through any arbitration or legal proceeding, or Investor otherwise takes action to collect amounts due under the Note or to enforce the provisions of the Note, or (ii) there occurs any bankruptcy, reorganization, receivership of Company or other proceedings affecting Company’s creditors’ rights and involving a claim under the Note; then Company shall pay the costs incurred by Investor for such collection, enforcement or action or in connection with such bankruptcy, reorganization, receivership or other proceeding, including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees, expenses, deposition costs, and disbursements.
7.17.    Waiver. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement shall be effective unless it is in the form of a writing signed by the party granting the waiver.

No waiver or consent shall constitute a continuing waiver or consent or commit a party to provide a waiver or consent in the future except to the extent specifically set forth in writing.
7.18.    Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHTS SUCH PARTY MAY HAVE TO DEMAND THAT ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT, ANY OTHER TRANSACTION DOCUMENT, OR THE RELATIONSHIPS OF THE PARTIES HERETO BE TRIED BY JURY. THIS WAIVER EXTENDS TO ANY AND ALL RIGHTS TO DEMAND A TRIAL BY JURY ARISING UNDER COMMON LAW OR ANY APPLICABLE STATUTE, LAW, RULE OR REGULATION. FURTHER, EACH PARTY HERETO ACKNOWLEDGES THAT SUCH PARTY IS KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY WAIVING SUCH PARTY’S RIGHT TO DEMAND TRIAL BY JURY.

7.21.    Special Termination Right. In the event that the Company prepays the Note pursuant to Section 1.2(b) thereof, it shall have the right to terminate this Agreement upon written notice to Investor without further liability.

For purposes of this Exhibit C, the term “Claims” means any disputes, claims, demands, causes of action, requests for injunctive relief, requests for specific performance, liabilities, damages, losses, or controversies whatsoever arising from, related to, or connected with the transactions contemplated in the Transaction Documents and any communications between the parties related thereto, including without limitation any claims of mutual mistake, mistake, fraud, misrepresentation, failure of formation, failure of consideration, promissory estoppel, unconscionability, failure of condition precedent, rescission, and any statutory claims, tort claims, contract claims, or claims to void, invalidate or terminate the Agreement (or these Arbitration Provisions (defined below)) or any of the other Transaction Documents. The parties to this Agreement (the “parties”) hereby agree that the Claims may be arbitrated in one or more Arbitrations pursuant to these Arbitration Provisions (one for an injunction or injunctions and a separate one for all other Claims). The parties hereby agree that the arbitration provisions set forth in this Exhibit C (“Arbitration Provisions”) are binding on each of them. As a result, any attempt to rescind the Agreement (or these Arbitration Provisions) or declare the Agreement (or these Arbitration Provisions) or any other Transaction Document invalid or unenforceable for any reason is subject to these Arbitration Provisions. These Arbitration Provisions shall also survive any termination or expiration of the Agreement. Any capitalized term not defined in these Arbitration Provisions shall have the meaning set forth in the Agreement.
2.    Arbitration. Except as otherwise provided herein, all Claims must be submitted to arbitration (“Arbitration”) to be conducted exclusively in Salt Lake County, Utah and pursuant to the terms set forth in these Arbitration Provisions. Subject to the arbitration appeal right provided for in Paragraph 5 below (the “Appeal Right”), the parties agree that the award of the arbitrator rendered pursuant to Paragraph 4 below (the “Arbitration Award”) shall be (a) final and binding upon the parties, (b) the sole and exclusive remedy between them regarding any Claims, counterclaims, issues, or accountings presented or pleaded to the arbitrator, and (c) promptly payable in United States dollars free of any tax, deduction or offset (with respect to monetary awards). Subject to the Appeal Right, any costs or fees, including without limitation attorneys’ fees, incurred in connection with or incident to enforcing the Arbitration Award shall, to the maximum extent permitted by law, be charged against the party resisting such enforcement. The Arbitration Award shall include default interest (as defined or otherwise provided for in the Note, “Default Interest”) (with respect to monetary awards) at the rate specified in the Note for Default Interest both before and after the Arbitration Award. Judgment upon the Arbitration Award will be entered and enforced by any state or federal court sitting in Salt Lake County, Utah. 
3.    The Arbitration Act. The parties hereby incorporate herein the provisions and procedures set forth in the Utah Uniform Arbitration Act, U.C.A. § 78B-11-101 et seq. (as amended or superseded from time to time, the “Arbitration Act”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, pursuant to, and to the maximum extent permitted by, Section 105 of the Arbitration Act, in the event of conflict or variation between the terms of these Arbitration Provisions and the provisions of the Arbitration Act, the terms of these Arbitration Provisions shall control and the parties hereby waive or otherwise agree to vary the effect of all requirements of the Arbitration Act that may conflict with or vary from these Arbitration Provisions.
4.    Arbitration Proceedings. Arbitration between the parties will be subject to the following:
4.1    Initiation of Arbitration. Pursuant to Section 110 of the Arbitration Act, the parties agree that a party may initiate Arbitration by giving written notice to the other party (“Arbitration Notice”) in the same manner that notice is permitted under Section 8.11 of the Agreement; provided, however, that the Arbitration Notice may not be given by email or fax. Arbitration will be deemed initiated as of the date that the Arbitration Notice is deemed delivered to such other party under Section 8.11 of the Agreement (the “Service Date”). After the Service Date, information may be delivered, and notices may be given, by email or fax pursuant to Section 8.11 of the Agreement or any other method permitted thereunder. The Arbitration Notice must describe the nature of the controversy, the remedies sought, and the election to commence Arbitration proceedings. All Claims in the Arbitration Notice must be pleaded consistent with the Utah Rules of Civil Procedure.
4.2    Selection and Payment of Arbitrator.
(a) Within ten (10) calendar days after the Service Date, Investor shall select and submit to Company the names of three (3) arbitrators that are designated as “neutrals” or qualified arbitrators by Utah ADR Services (http://www.utahadrservices.com) (such three (3) designated persons hereunder are referred to herein as the “Proposed Arbitrators”). For the avoidance of doubt, each Proposed Arbitrator must be qualified as a “neutral” with Utah ADR Services. Within five (5) calendar days after Investor has submitted to Company the names of the Proposed Arbitrators, Company must select, by written notice to Investor, one (1) of the Proposed Arbitrators to act as the arbitrator for the 

Arbitration Provisions, Page 1

parties under these Arbitration Provisions. If Company fails to select one of the Proposed Arbitrators in writing within such 5-day period, then Investor may select the arbitrator from the Proposed Arbitrators by providing written notice of such selection to Company. 
(b) If Investor fails to submit to Company the Proposed Arbitrators within ten (10) calendar days after the Service Date pursuant to subparagraph (a) above, then Company may at any time prior to Investor so designating the Proposed Arbitrators, identify the names of three (3) arbitrators that are designated as “neutrals” or qualified arbitrators by Utah ADR Service by written notice to Investor. Investor may then, within five (5) calendar days after Company has submitted notice of its Proposed Arbitrators to Investor, select, by written notice to Company, one (1) of the Proposed Arbitrators to act as the arbitrator for the parties under these Arbitration Provisions. If Investor fails to select in writing and within such 5-day period one (1) of the three (3) Proposed Arbitrators selected by Company, then Company may select the arbitrator from its three (3) previously selected Proposed Arbitrators by providing written notice of such selection to Investor. 
(c) If a Proposed Arbitrator chosen to serve as arbitrator declines or is otherwise unable to serve as arbitrator, then the party that selected such Proposed Arbitrator may select one (1) of the other three (3) Proposed Arbitrators within three (3) calendar days of the date the chosen Proposed Arbitrator declines or notifies the parties he or she is unable to serve as arbitrator. If all three (3) Proposed Arbitrators decline or are otherwise unable to serve as arbitrator, then the arbitrator selection process shall begin again in accordance with this Paragraph 4.2.
(d) The date that the Proposed Arbitrator selected pursuant to this Paragraph 4.2 agrees in writing (including via email) delivered to both parties to serve as the arbitrator hereunder is referred to herein as the “Arbitration Commencement Date”.  If an arbitrator resigns or is unable to act during the Arbitration, a replacement arbitrator shall be chosen in accordance with this Paragraph 4.2 to continue the Arbitration.  If Utah ADR Services ceases to exist or to provide a list of neutrals and there is no successor thereto, then the arbitrator shall be selected under the then prevailing rules of the American Arbitration Association.
(e) Subject to Paragraph 4.10 below, the cost of the arbitrator must be paid equally by both parties. Subject to Paragraph 4.10 below, if one party refuses or fails to pay its portion of the arbitrator fee, then the other party can advance such unpaid amount (subject to the accrual of Default Interest thereupon), with such amount being added to or subtracted from, as applicable, the Arbitration Award.
4.3    Applicability of Certain Utah Rules. The parties agree that the Arbitration shall be conducted generally in accordance with the Utah Rules of Civil Procedure and the Utah Rules of Evidence. More specifically, the Utah Rules of Civil Procedure shall apply, without limitation, to the filing of any pleadings, motions or memoranda, the conducting of discovery, and the taking of any depositions. The Utah Rules of Evidence shall apply to any hearings, whether telephonic or in person, held by the arbitrator. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is the parties’ intent that the incorporation of such rules will in no event supersede these Arbitration Provisions. In the event of any conflict between the Utah Rules of Civil Procedure or the Utah Rules of Evidence and these Arbitration Provisions, these Arbitration Provisions shall control.
4.4    Answer and Default. An answer and any counterclaims to the Arbitration Notice shall be required to be delivered to the party initiating the Arbitration within twenty (20) calendar days after the Arbitration Commencement Date. If an answer is not delivered by the required deadline, the arbitrator must provide written notice to the defaulting party stating that the arbitrator will enter a default award against such party if such party does not file an answer within five (5) calendar days of receipt of such notice. If an answer is not filed within the five (5) day extension period, the arbitrator must render a default award, consistent with the relief requested in the Arbitration Notice, against a party that fails to submit an answer within such time period.
4.5    Related Litigation. The party that delivers the Arbitration Notice to the other party shall have the option to also commence concurrent legal proceedings with any state or federal court sitting in Salt Lake County, Utah (“Litigation Proceedings”), subject to the following: (a) the complaint in the Litigation Proceedings is to be substantially similar to the claims set forth in the Arbitration Notice, provided that an additional cause of action to compel arbitration will also be included therein, (b) so long as the other party files an answer to the complaint in the Litigation Proceedings and an answer to the Arbitration Notice, the Litigation Proceedings will be stayed pending an Arbitration Award (or Appeal Panel Award (defined below), as applicable) hereunder, (c) if the other party fails to file an answer in the Litigation Proceedings or an answer in the Arbitration proceedings, then the party initiating Arbitration shall be entitled to a default judgment consistent with the relief requested, to be entered in the Litigation Proceedings, and (d) any legal or procedural issue arising under the Arbitration Act that requires a decision of a court of competent jurisdiction may 

Arbitration Provisions, Page 2

be determined in the Litigation Proceedings. Any award of the arbitrator (or of the Appeal Panel (defined below)) may be entered in such Litigation Proceedings pursuant to the Arbitration Act.
4.6    Discovery. Pursuant to Section 118(8) of the Arbitration Act, the parties agree that discovery shall be conducted as follows:
(a) Written discovery will only be allowed if the likely benefits of the proposed written discovery outweigh the burden or expense thereof, and the written discovery sought is likely to reveal information that will satisfy a specific element of a claim or defense already pleaded in the Arbitration. The party seeking written discovery shall always have the burden of showing that all of the standards and limitations set forth in these Arbitration Provisions are satisfied. The scope of discovery in the Arbitration proceedings shall also be limited as follows: 
(i)    To facts directly connected with the transactions contemplated by the Agreement.
(ii)    To facts and information that cannot be obtained from another source or in another manner that is more convenient, less burdensome or less expensive than in the manner requested.
(b) No party shall be allowed (i) more than fifteen (15) interrogatories (including discrete subparts), (ii) more than fifteen (15) requests for admission (including discrete subparts), (iii) more than ten (10) document requests (including discrete subparts), or (iv) more than three (3) depositions (excluding expert depositions) for a maximum of seven (7) hours per deposition. The costs associated with depositions will be borne by the party taking the deposition. The party defending the deposition will submit a notice to the party taking the deposition of the estimated attorneys’ fees that such party expects to incur in connection with defending the deposition. If the party defending the deposition fails to submit an estimate of attorneys’ fees within five (5) calendar days of its receipt of a deposition notice, then such party shall be deemed to have waived its right to the estimated attorneys’ fees.  The party taking the deposition must pay the party defending the deposition the estimated attorneys’ fees prior to taking the deposition, unless such obligation is deemed to be waived as set forth in the immediately preceding sentence. If the party taking the deposition believes that the estimated attorneys’ fees are unreasonable, such party may submit the issue to the arbitrator for a decision.  All depositions will be taken in Utah. 
(c) All discovery requests (including document production requests included in deposition notices) must be submitted in writing to the arbitrator and the other party. The party submitting the written discovery requests must include with such discovery requests a detailed explanation of how the proposed discovery requests satisfy the requirements of these Arbitration Provisions and the Utah Rules of Civil Procedure. The receiving party will then be allowed, within five (5) calendar days of receiving the proposed discovery requests, to submit to the arbitrator an estimate of the attorneys’ fees and costs associated with responding to such written discovery requests and a written challenge to each applicable discovery request. After receipt of an estimate of attorneys’ fees and costs and/or challenge(s) to one or more discovery requests, consistent with subparagraph (c) above, the arbitrator will within three (3) calendar days make a finding as to the likely attorneys’ fees and costs associated with responding to the discovery requests and issue an order that (i) requires the requesting party to prepay the attorneys’ fees and costs associated with responding to the discovery requests, and (ii) requires the responding party to respond to the discovery requests as limited by the arbitrator within twenty-five (25) calendar days of the arbitrator’s finding with respect to such discovery requests. If a party entitled to submit an estimate of attorneys’ fees and costs and/or a challenge to discovery requests fails to do so within such 5-day period, the arbitrator will make a finding that (A) there are no attorneys’ fees or costs associated with responding to such discovery requests, and (B) the responding party must respond to such discovery requests (as may be limited by the arbitrator) within twenty-five (25) calendar days of the arbitrator’s finding with respect to such discovery requests. Any party submitting any written discovery requests, including without limitation interrogatories, requests for production subpoenas to a party or a third party, or requests for admissions, must prepay the estimated attorneys’ fees and costs, before the responding party has any obligation to produce or respond to the same, unless such obligation is deemed waived as set forth above.
(d) In order to allow a written discovery request, the arbitrator must find that the discovery request satisfies the standards set forth in these Arbitration Provisions and the Utah Rules of Civil Procedure. The arbitrator must strictly enforce these standards. If a discovery request does not satisfy any of the standards set forth in these Arbitration Provisions or the Utah Rules of Civil Procedure, the arbitrator may modify such discovery request to satisfy the applicable standards, or strike such discovery request in whole or in part. 
(e) Each party may submit expert reports (and rebuttals thereto), provided that such reports must be submitted within sixty (60) days of the Arbitration Commencement Date. Each party will be allowed a maximum of two (2) experts. Expert reports must contain the following: (i) a complete statement of all opinions the expert will offer at trial 

Arbitration Provisions, Page 3

and the basis and reasons for them; (ii) the expert’s name and qualifications, including a list of all the expert’s publications within the preceding ten (10) years, and a list of any other cases in which the expert has testified at trial or in a deposition or prepared a report within the preceding ten (10) years; and (iii) the compensation to be paid for the expert’s report and testimony. The parties are entitled to depose any other party’s expert witness one (1) time for no more than four (4) hours. An expert may not testify in a party’s case-in-chief concerning any matter not fairly disclosed in the expert report.
4.6    Dispositive Motions.  Each party shall have the right to submit dispositive motions pursuant Rule 12 or Rule 56 of the Utah Rules of Civil Procedure (a “Dispositive Motion”). The party submitting the Dispositive Motion may, but is not required to, deliver to the arbitrator and to the other party a memorandum in support (the “Memorandum in Support”) of the Dispositive Motion. Within seven (7) calendar days of delivery of the Memorandum in Support, the other party shall deliver to the arbitrator and to the other party a memorandum in opposition to the Memorandum in Support (the “Memorandum in Opposition”). Within seven (7) calendar days of delivery of the Memorandum in Opposition, as applicable, the party that submitted the Memorandum in Support shall deliver to the arbitrator and to the other party a reply memorandum to the Memorandum in Opposition (“Reply Memorandum”). If the applicable party shall fail to deliver the Memorandum in Opposition as required above, or if the other party fails to deliver the Reply Memorandum as required above, then the applicable party shall lose its right to so deliver the same, and the Dispositive Motion shall proceed regardless.
4.7    Confidentiality. All information disclosed by either party (or such party’s agents) during the Arbitration process (including without limitation information disclosed during the discovery process or any Appeal (defined below)) shall be considered confidential in nature. Each party agrees not to disclose any confidential information received from the other party (or its agents) during the Arbitration process (including without limitation during the discovery process or any Appeal) unless (a) prior to or after the time of disclosure such information becomes public knowledge or part of the public domain, not as a result of any inaction or action of the receiving party or its agents, (b) such information is required by a court order, subpoena or similar legal duress to be disclosed if such receiving party has notified the other party thereof in writing and given it a reasonable opportunity to obtain a protective order from a court of competent jurisdiction prior to disclosure, or (c) such information is disclosed to the receiving party’s agents, representatives and legal counsel on a need to know basis who each agree in writing not to disclose such information to any third party. Pursuant to Section 118(5) of the Arbitration Act, the arbitrator is hereby authorized and directed to issue a protective order to prevent the disclosure of privileged information and confidential information upon the written request of either party.
4.8    Authorization; Timing; Scheduling Order. Subject to all other portions of these Arbitration Provisions, the parties hereby authorize and direct the arbitrator to take such actions and make such rulings as may be necessary to carry out the parties’ intent for the Arbitration proceedings to be efficient and expeditious. Pursuant to Section 120 of the Arbitration Act, the parties hereby agree that an Arbitration Award must be made within one hundred twenty (120) calendar days after the Arbitration Commencement Date. The arbitrator is hereby authorized and directed to hold a scheduling conference within ten (10) calendar days after the Arbitration Commencement Date in order to establish a scheduling order with various binding deadlines for discovery, expert testimony, and the submission of documents by the parties to enable the arbitrator to render a decision prior to the end of such 120-day period.
4.9    Relief. The arbitrator shall have the right to award or include in the Arbitration Award (or in a preliminary ruling) any relief which the arbitrator deems proper under the circumstances, including, without limitation, specific performance and injunctive relief, provided that the arbitrator may not award exemplary or punitive damages.
4.10    Fees and Costs. As part of the Arbitration Award, the arbitrator is hereby directed to require the losing party (the party being awarded the least amount of money by the arbitrator, which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall be determined without regard to any statutory fines, penalties, fees, or other charges awarded to any party) to (a) pay the full amount of any unpaid costs and fees of the Arbitration, and (b) reimburse the prevailing party for all reasonable attorneys’ fees, arbitrator costs and fees, deposition costs, other discovery costs, and other expenses, costs or fees paid or otherwise incurred by the prevailing party in connection with the Arbitration.
5.    Arbitration Appeal. 
5.1    Initiation of Appeal.  Following the entry of the Arbitration Award, either party (the “Appellant”) shall have a period of thirty (30) calendar days in which to notify the other party (the “Appellee”), in writing, that the Appellant elects to appeal (the “Appeal”) the Arbitration Award (such notice, an “Appeal Notice”) to a panel of arbitrators as provided in Paragraph 5.2 below.  The date the Appellant delivers an Appeal Notice to the Appellee is referred to herein 

Arbitration Provisions, Page 4

as the “Appeal Date”. The Appeal Notice must be delivered to the Appellee in accordance with the provisions of Paragraph 4.1 above with respect to delivery of an Arbitration Notice.  In addition, together with delivery of the Appeal Notice to the Appellee, the Appellant must also pay for (and provide proof of such payment to the Appellee together with delivery of the Appeal Notice) a bond in the amount of 110% of the sum the Appellant owes to the Appellee as a result of the Arbitration Award the Appellant is appealing.  In the event an Appellant delivers an Appeal Notice to the Appellee (together with proof of payment of the applicable bond) in compliance with the provisions of this Paragraph 5.1, the Appeal will occur as a matter of right and, except as specifically set forth herein, will not be further conditioned.  In the event a party does not deliver an Appeal Notice (along with proof of payment of the applicable bond) to the other party within the deadline prescribed in this Paragraph 5.1, such party shall lose its right to appeal the Arbitration Award.  If no party delivers an Appeal Notice (along with proof of payment of the applicable bond) to the other party within the deadline described in this Paragraph 5.1, the Arbitration Award shall be final.  The parties acknowledge and agree that any Appeal shall be deemed part of the parties’ agreement to arbitrate for purposes of these Arbitration Provisions and the Arbitration Act.
5.2    Selection and Payment of Appeal Panel.  In the event an Appellant delivers an Appeal Notice to the Appellee (together with proof of payment of the applicable bond) in compliance with the provisions of Paragraph 5.1 above, the Appeal will be heard by a three (3) person arbitration panel (the “Appeal Panel”). 
(a)     Within ten (10) calendar days after the Appeal Date, the Appellee shall select and submit to the Appellant the names of five (5) arbitrators that are designated as “neutrals” or qualified arbitrators by Utah ADR Services (http://www.utahadrservices.com) (such five (5) designated persons hereunder are referred to herein as the “Proposed Appeal Arbitrators”). For the avoidance of doubt, each Proposed Appeal Arbitrator must be qualified as a “neutral” with Utah ADR Services, and shall not be the arbitrator who rendered the Arbitration Award being appealed (the “Original Arbitrator”). Within five (5) calendar days after the Appellee has submitted to the Appellant the names of the Proposed Appeal Arbitrators, the Appellant must select, by written notice to the Appellee, three (3) of the Proposed Appeal Arbitrators to act as the members of the Appeal Panel. If the Appellant fails to select three (3) of the Proposed Appeal Arbitrators in writing within such 5-day period, then the Appellee may select such three (3) arbitrators from the Proposed Appeal Arbitrators by providing written notice of such selection to the Appellant. 
(b)     If the Appellee fails to submit to the Appellant the names of the Proposed Appeal Arbitrators within ten (10) calendar days after the Appeal Date pursuant to subparagraph (a) above, then the Appellant may at any time prior to the Appellee so designating the Proposed Appeal Arbitrators, identify the names of five (5) arbitrators that are designated as “neutrals” or qualified arbitrators by Utah ADR Service (none of whom may be the Original Arbitrator) by written notice to the Appellee.  The Appellee may then, within five (5) calendar days after the Appellant has submitted notice of its selected arbitrators to the Appellee, select, by written notice to the Appellant, three (3) of such selected arbitrators to serve on the Appeal Panel. If the Appellee fails to select in writing within such 5-day period three (3) of the arbitrators selected by the Appellant to serve as the members of the Appeal Panel, then the Appellant may select the three (3) members of the Appeal Panel from the Appellant’s list of five (5) arbitrators by providing written notice of such selection to the Appellee. 
(c)     If a selected Proposed Appeal Arbitrator declines or is otherwise unable to serve, then the party that selected such Proposed Appeal Arbitrator may select one (1) of the other five (5) designated Proposed Appeal Arbitrators within three (3) calendar days of the date a chosen Proposed Appeal Arbitrator declines or notifies the parties he or she is unable to serve as an arbitrator. If at least three (3) of the five (5) designated Proposed Appeal Arbitrators decline or are otherwise unable to serve, then the Proposed Appeal Arbitrator selection process shall begin again in accordance with this Paragraph 5.2; provided, however, that any Proposed Appeal Arbitrators who have already agreed to serve shall remain on the Appeal Panel. 
(d)    The date that all three (3) Proposed Appeal Arbitrators selected pursuant to this Paragraph 5.2 agree in writing (including via email) delivered to both the Appellant and the Appellee to serve as members of the Appeal Panel hereunder is referred to herein as the “Appeal Commencement Date”.  No later than five (5) calendar days after the Appeal Commencement Date, the Appellee shall designate in writing (including via email) to the Appellant and the Appeal Panel the name of one (1) of the three (3) members of the Appeal Panel to serve as the lead arbitrator in the Appeal proceedings. Each member of the Appeal Panel shall be deemed an arbitrator for purposes of these Arbitration Provisions and the Arbitration Act, provided that, in conducting the Appeal, the Appeal Panel may only act or make determinations upon the approval or vote of no less than the majority vote of its members, as announced or communicated by the lead arbitrator on the Appeal Panel.  If an arbitrator on the Appeal Panel ceases or is unable to act during the Appeal proceedings, a replacement arbitrator shall be chosen in accordance with Paragraph 5.2 above to continue the 

Arbitration Provisions, Page 5

Appeal as a member of the Appeal Panel.  If Utah ADR Services ceases to exist or to provide a list of neutrals, then the arbitrators for the Appeal Panel shall be selected under the then prevailing rules of the American Arbitration Association. 
(d)     Subject to Paragraph 5.7 below, the cost of the Appeal Panel must be paid entirely by the Appellant.
5.3    Appeal Procedure.  The Appeal will be deemed an appeal of the entire Arbitration Award. In conducting the Appeal, the Appeal Panel shall conduct a de novo review of all Claims described or otherwise set forth in the Arbitration Notice.  Subject to the foregoing and all other provisions of this Paragraph 5, the Appeal Panel shall conduct the Appeal in a manner the Appeal Panel considers appropriate for a fair and expeditious disposition of the Appeal, may hold one or more hearings and permit oral argument, and may review all previous evidence and discovery, together with all briefs, pleadings and other documents filed with the Original Arbitrator (as well as any documents filed with the Appeal Panel pursuant to Paragraph 5.4(a) below).  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in connection with the Appeal, the Appeal Panel shall not permit the parties to conduct any additional discovery or raise any new Claims to be arbitrated, shall not permit new witnesses or affidavits, and shall not base any of its findings or determinations on the Original Arbitrator’s findings or the Arbitration Award.  
5.4    Timing.  
 (a)    Within seven (7) calendar days of the Appeal Commencement Date, the Appellant (i) shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Appeal Panel copies of the Appeal Notice, all discovery conducted in connection with the Arbitration, and all briefs, pleadings and other documents filed with the Original Arbitrator (which material Appellee shall have the right to review and supplement if necessary), and (ii) may, but is not required to, deliver to the Appeal Panel and to the Appellee a Memorandum in Support of the Appellant’s arguments concerning or position with respect to all Claims, counterclaims, issues, or accountings presented or pleaded in the Arbitration. Within seven (7) calendar days of the Appellant’s delivery of the Memorandum in Support, as applicable, the Appellee shall deliver to the Appeal Panel and to the Appellant a Memorandum in Opposition to the Memorandum in Support. Within seven (7) calendar days of the Appellee’s delivery of the Memorandum in Opposition, as applicable, the Appellant shall deliver to the Appeal Panel and to the Appellee a Reply Memorandum to the Memorandum in Opposition. If the Appellant shall fail to substantially comply with the requirements of clause (i) of this subparagraph (a), the Appellant shall lose its right to appeal the Arbitration Award, and the Arbitration Award shall be final.  If the Appellee shall fail to deliver the Memorandum in Opposition as required above, or if the Appellant shall fail to deliver the Reply Memorandum as required above, then the Appellee or the Appellant, as the case may be, shall lose its right to so deliver the same, and the Appeal shall proceed regardless.
(b)     Subject to subparagraph (a) above, the parties hereby agree that the Appeal must be heard by the Appeal Panel within thirty (30) calendar days of the Appeal Commencement Date, and that the Appeal Panel must render its decision within thirty (30) calendar days after the Appeal is heard (and in no event later than sixty (60) calendar days after the Appeal Commencement Date).
5.5    Appeal Panel Award.  The Appeal Panel shall issue its decision (the “Appeal Panel Award”) through the lead arbitrator on the Appeal Panel.  Notwithstanding any other provision contained herein, the Appeal Panel Award shall (a) supersede in its entirety and make of no further force or effect the Arbitration Award (provided that any protective orders issued by the Original Arbitrator shall remain in full force and effect), (b) be final and binding upon the parties, with no further rights of appeal, (c) be the sole and exclusive remedy between the parties regarding any Claims, counterclaims, issues, or accountings presented or pleaded in the Arbitration, and (d) be promptly payable in United States dollars free of any tax, deduction or offset (with respect to monetary awards).  Any costs or fees, including without limitation attorneys’ fees, incurred in connection with or incident to enforcing the Appeal Panel Award shall, to the maximum extent permitted by law, be charged against the party resisting such enforcement. The Appeal Panel Award shall include Default Interest (with respect to monetary awards) at the rate specified in the Note for Default Interest both before and after the Arbitration Award. Judgment upon the Appeal Panel Award will be entered and enforced by a state or federal court sitting in Salt Lake County, Utah. 
5.6    Relief.  The Appeal Panel shall have the right to award or include in the Appeal Panel Award any relief which the Appeal Panel deems proper under the circumstances, including, without limitation, specific performance and injunctive relief, provided that the Appeal Panel may not award exemplary or punitive damages. 
5.7    Fees and Costs.  As part of the Appeal Panel Award, the Appeal Panel is hereby directed to require the losing party (the party being awarded the least amount of money by the arbitrator, which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall be determined without regard to any statutory fines, penalties, fees, or other charges awarded to any party) to (a) pay the 

Arbitration Provisions, Page 6

full amount of any unpaid costs and fees of the Arbitration and the Appeal Panel, and (b) reimburse the prevailing party (the party being awarded the most amount of money by the Appeal Panel,  which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall be determined without regard to any statutory fines, penalties, fees, or other charges awarded to any part) the reasonable attorneys’ fees, arbitrator and Appeal Panel costs and fees, deposition costs, other discovery costs, and other expenses, costs or fees paid or otherwise incurred by the prevailing party in connection with the Arbitration (including without limitation in connection with the Appeal).
6.     Miscellaneous.  
6.1    Severability. If any part of these Arbitration Provisions is found to violate or be illegal under applicable law, then such provision shall be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make such provision enforceable under applicable law, and the remainder of the Arbitration Provisions shall remain unaffected and in full force and effect.
6.2    Governing Law.  These Arbitration Provisions shall be governed by the laws of the State of Utah without regard to the conflict of laws principles therein.    
6.3    Interpretation.  The headings of these Arbitration Provisions are for convenience of reference only and shall not form part of, or affect the interpretation of, these Arbitration Provisions.
6.4    Waiver. No waiver of any provision of these Arbitration Provisions shall be effective unless it is in the form of a writing signed by the party granting the waiver.
6.5    Time is of the Essence. Time is expressly made of the essence with respect to each and every provision of these Arbitration Provisions.
