OVERVIEW

Management of the Company focuses on several key client activity and financial metrics in evaluating the Company’s financial position and operating performance. Management believes that net revenue growth, pre-tax profit margin, earnings per common share (EPS), and return on average common stockholders’ equity provide broad indicators of the Company’s overall financial health, operating efficiency, and ability to generate acceptable returns. Expenses excluding interest as a percentage of average client assets is considered by management to be a measure of operating efficiency. Results for the second quarters and first halves of 2015 and 2014 are:

(1)	Net new client assets is defined as the total inflows of client cash and securities to the firm less client outflows. Management believes that this metric, along with core net new assets, depicts how well the Company’s products and services appeal to new and existing clients. Core net new assets were $ 37.0 billion and $ 71.2 billion during the second quarter and first half of 2015, respectively. See below for items excluded from core net new assets in 2015. There were no significant one-time flows during the second quarter and first half of 2014.
(2 )	Client assets represent the market value of all client assets custodied at the Company. Management considers client assets to be indicative of the Company’s appeal in the marketplace. Additionally, fluctuations in certain components of client assets (e.g., Mutual Fund OneSource ® funds) directly impact asset management and administration fees.
(3 )	Average client assets is defined as the daily average client asset balance for the period.
(4 )	New brokerage accounts include all brokerage accounts opened during the period, as well as any accounts added via acquisition. This metric measures the Company’s effectiveness in attracting new clients and building stronger relationships with existing clients.
(5 )	Active brokerage accounts include accounts with balances or activity within the preceding eight months. This metric is an indicator of the Company’s success in both attracting and retaining clients.

(6 )	Assets receiving ongoing advisory services include relationships under the guidance of independent advisors and assets enrolled in one of the Company’s retail or other advisory solutions. This metric depicts how well the Company’s advisory products and services appeal to new and existing clients.
(7 )	Client cash as a percentage of client assets includes Schwab One ® , certain cash equivalents, bank deposits and money market fund balances, as a percentage of client assets. This measure is an indicator of clients’ engagement in the fixed income and equity markets.
(8 )	Calculated as net income available to common stockholders divided by average common stockholders’ equity.

Core net new client assets is defined as net new client assets before significant one-time flows. Management considers this to be a useful metric when comparing period-to-period client asset flows. The following one-time flows were excluded from core net new assets.

An outflow of $11.6 billion relating to the Company’s planned resignation from an Advisor Services cash management relationship .

An inflow of $6.1 billion in the first half of 2015 to reflect the final impact of the consolidation of its retirement plan recordkeeping platforms as previously announced in the third quarter of 2013 .

The Company’s operating environment included variable equity market performance during the second quarter of 2015 ; however, the markets ended the quarter largely unchanged from March 31, 2015 . Compared to the second quarter of 2014, the Nasdaq Composite Index, Standard & Poor’s 500 Index, and Dow Jones Industrial Average improved 13 %, 5 %, and 5 % , respectively, at the end of the second quarter of 2015 . Meanwhile, short-term interest rates continued to be constrained as the federal funds target rate remained unchanged at a range of zero to 0.25% and the average 3-month Treasury Bill yield decreased by 1 basis point to 0.01 % compared to the second quarter of 2014 . In addition, long-term interest rates decreased in the second quarter of 2015 compared to the same period in 2014. The average 10-year yield during the second quarter of 2015 was 2.16% which was 45 basis points lower than the average yield during the second quarter of 2014 .

Strong client momentum continued as the Company’s innovative, full-service model continued to resonate with clients and drive growth during the second quarter of 2015. Core net new assets totaled $37.0 billion in the second quarter of 2015, which were up $14.3 billion compared to core net new client assets in the second quarter of 2014. Total client assets ended the second quarter of 2015 at $2.54 trillion, up 6% from the second quarter of 2014. The Company added 280,000 new brokerage accounts to its client base during the second quarter of 2015, up 16% compared to the second quarter of 2014. Active brokerage accounts ended the second quarter at 9 .6 million, also up 4 % on a year-over-year basis.

For the second quarter and first half of 2015, the Company’s net revenues increased 6% and 5% compared to the second quarter and first half of 2014, respectively, primarily due to increases in net interest revenue and asset management and administration fees, partially offset by a decrease in trading revenue. Net interest revenue increased primarily due to higher balances of interest-earning assets , including margin loans and the Company’s investment portfolio (securities available for sale and securities held to maturity), partially offset by the effect lower average interest rates had on the Company’s average net interest margin. Asset management and administration fees increased due to higher client asset balances in mutual fund services, advice solutions, and other asset management and administration services and improved rates earned on money market funds . Trading revenue decreased primarily due to a decrease in commission revenue as a result of lower daily average revenue trades. Other revenue increased primarily due to litigation proceeds of $17 million in the second quarter of 2015 relating to the Company’s non-agency residential mortgage-backed securities portfolio, offset by decreases in order flow revenue.

Expenses excluding interest increased 4% and 7% in the second quarter and first half of 2015 compared to the same periods in 2014, respectively, primarily due to increases in compensation and benefits, professional services, and other expense.

The combined effect of the environment, strong business growth, and the Company’s overall spending resulted in a pre-tax profit margin of 36.2 % and 34.0% in the second quarter and first half of 2015, respectively . Overall, net income increased by 9 % and 1% in the second quarter and first half of 2015, compared to the same periods in 2014, respectively. The return on average common stockholders’ equity was 12% and 11% in the second quarter and first half of 2015, respectively .

Subsequent Event

On August 3, 2015, the Company issued and sold 24 million depositary shares, each representing a 1/40 th ownership interest in a share of 6.00% non-cumulative perpetual preferred stock, Series C, $0.01 par value, with a liquidation preference of $1,000 per share (equivalent to $25 per depositary share) (Series C Preferred Stock). The Series C Preferred Stock has a fixed dividend rate of 6.00%. Net proceeds received from the sale were $581 million and are being used to support balance sheet growth, including the migration of certain client balances from sweep money market funds into Schwab Bank.

CURRENT MARKET AND REGULATORY ENVIRONMENT AND OTHER DEVELOPMENTS

To the extent short-term interest rates remain at current low levels, the Company’s net interest revenue will continue to be constrained, even as growth in average balances helps to increase such revenue. The low short-term interest rate environment also affects asset management and administration fees. The Company continues to waive a portion of its management fees, as the overall yields on certain Schwab-sponsored money market mutual funds have remained at levels at or below the management fees on those funds. These and certain other Schwab-sponsored money market mutual funds may not be able to replace maturing securities with securities of equal or higher yields. As a result, the yields on such funds may remain at or decline from their current levels and therefore, below the stated management fees on those funds. To the extent this occurs, asset management and administration fees may continue to be negatively affected.

In July 2013, the United States (U.S.) banking agencies issued regulatory capital rules that implemented BASEL III and relevant provisions of the “Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act” (the Dodd-Frank Act) (Final Regulatory Capital Rules), which are applicable to savings and loan holding companies, such as CSC, and federal savings banks, such as Schwab Bank. The implementation of the rules began on January 1, 2015.

The Final Regulatory Capital Rules, among other things:

subject savings and loan holding companies to consolidated capital requirements;

revise the required minimum risk-based and leverage capital requirements by (1) establishing a new minimum Common Equity Tier 1 Risk-Based Capital Ratio (common equity Tier 1 capital to total risk-weighted assets) of 4.5%; (2) raising the minimum Tier 1 Risk-Based Capital Ratio from 4.0% to 6.0%; (3) maintaining the minimum Total Risk-Based Capital Ratio of 8.0%; and (4) maintaining a minimum Tier 1 Leverage Ratio (Tier 1 capital to adjusted average consolidated assets) of 4.0%;

add a requirement to maintain a minimum capital conservation buffer, composed of common equity Tier 1 capital, of 2.5% of risk-weighted assets, which means that banking organizations, on a fully phased-in basis no later than January 1, 2019, must maintain a Common Equity Tier 1 Risk-Based Capital Ratio greater than 7.0%; a Tier 1 Risk-Based Capital Ratio greater than 8.5% and a Total Risk-Based Capital Ratio greater than 10.5%;

change the definition of capital categories for insured depository: to be considered “well-capitalized”, Schwab Bank must have a Common Equity Tier 1 Risk-Based Capital Ratio of at least 6.5%, a Tier 1 Risk-Based Capital Ratio of at least 8%, a Total Risk-Based Capital Ratio of at least 10% and a Tier 1 Leverage Ratio of at least 5%; and

change the calculation of risk-weighted assets, including investment securities and unused commitments.

The application of the revised risk-weighting of assets resulted in a decrease in the Company’s Common Equity Tier 1 Risk-Based Capital, Tier 1 Risk-Based Capital, and Total Risk-Based Capital ratios of approximately 3.5% in 2015. The required minimum capital conservation buffer will be phased in incrementally, starting at 0.625% on January 1, 2016 and increasing to 1.25% on January 1, 2017, 1.875% on January 1, 2018 and 2.5% on January 1, 2019.

The Final Regulatory Capital Rules provide that the failure to maintain the minimum capital conservation buffer will result in restrictions on capital distributions and discretionary cash bonus payments to executive officers.

In September 2014, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (Federal Reserve), in collaboration with the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, issued a rule implementing a quantitative liquidity requirement generally consistent with the LCR standard established by Basel III. The LCR applies to all internationally active banking organizations. The Federal Reserve also issued a modified LCR that applies to the Company. Under the modified LCR, a depository institution holding company is required to maintain high-quality liquid assets in an amount related to its total estimated net cash outflows over a prospective period. The modified LCR will be phased in beginning on January 1, 2016, with a minimum requirement of 90%, increasing to 100% at January 1, 2017. The Company expects to be compliant with the modified LCR by January 1, 2016 and does not expect a material impact to the Company’s business, financial condition, and results of operations.

In April 2015, the Department of Labor published notice of a rule proposal to significantly broaden the definition of “fiduciary” under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. If adopted, among other things, the new rule would subject broker-dealers who provide non-discretionary investment advice to retirement plans and accounts to a “best interest” standard, as well as other conditions and requirements. The comment period for the rule proposal ended on July 21, 2015 and the rule proposal is subject to further modification. The Company will continue to evaluate the impact of the proposed rule.

The Company is pursuing lawsuits in state court in San Francisco for rescission and damages against issuers, underwriters, and dealers of individual non-agency residential mortgage-backed securities on which the Company experienced losses. The lawsuits allege that offering documents for the securities contained material untrue and misleading statements about the securities and the underwriting standards and credit quality of the underlying loans. On January 27, 2012, and July 24, 2012, the court denied defendants’ motions to dismiss the claims and discovery is proceeding. As of June 30, 2015, the Company has realized $45 million in net settlement proceeds on such claims, and an initial trial relating to certain of the defendants who remain in the case is set for February 2016.

Asset Management and Administration Fees

Asset management and administration fees include mutual fund service fees and fees for other asset-based financial services provided to individual and institutional clients. The Company earns mutual fund service fees for shareholder services, administration, and investment management provided to its proprietary funds, and recordkeeping and shareholder services provided to third-party funds. These fees are based upon the daily balances of client assets invested in these funds. The Company also earns asset management fees for advice solutions, which include advisory and managed account services that are based on the daily balances of client assets subject to the specific fee for service. The fair values of client assets included in proprietary and third-party mutual funds are based on quoted market prices and other observable market data. Other asset management and administration fees include various asset-based fees, such as third-party mutual fund service fees, trust fees, 401(k) recordkeeping fees, and mutual fund clearing and other service fees. Asset management and administration fees vary with changes in the balances of client assets due to market fluctuations and client activity.

Asset management and administration fees increased by $38 million, or 6%, and $71 million, or 6% in the second quarter and first half of 2015 compared to the same periods in 2014, due to the following items.

Mutual fund service fees increased by $15 million, or 5%, and $22 million, or 4%, in the second quarter and first half of 2015 compared to the same periods in 2014, primarily due to growth in client assets invested in equity and bond funds and higher net yields on money market fund assets.

Advice solutions fees increased by $19 million, or 9%, and $40 million, or 10%, in the second quarter and first half of 2015 compared to the same periods in 2014, primarily due to growth in client assets enrolled in advisory offers, including Schwab Private Client ™ , ThomasPartners ® , and Schwab Managed Portfolios ™ , partially offset by a decrease in Windhaven ® assets.

Other asset management and administration service fees increased by $4 million, or 3%, and $9 million, or 4%, in the second quarter and first half of 2015 compared to the same periods in 2014, primarily due to third-party mutual fund service fees on higher client asset balances invested in other third-party mutual funds.

Net Interest Revenue

Net interest revenue is the difference between interest earned on interest-earning assets and interest paid on funding sources. Net interest revenue is affected by changes in the volume and mix of these assets and liabilities, as well as by fluctuations in interest rates and portfolio management strategies.

Schwab Bank maintains available for sale and held to maturity investment portfolios for liquidity as well as to earn interest by investing funds from deposits that are in excess of bank loans and liquidity requirements. Schwab Bank lends funds to banking clients primarily in the form of mortgage loans, home equity lines of credit (HELOCs), and personal loans secured by securities. These loans are largely funded by interest-bearing bank deposits.

In clearing their clients’ trades, Schwab and optionsXpress, Inc., a securities broker-dealer and wholly-owned subsidiary of optionsXpress Holdings, Inc. (optionsXpress), hold cash balances payable to clients. In most cases, Schwab and optionsXpress, Inc. pay their clients interest on cash balances awaiting investment, and in turn invest these funds and earn interest revenue. Receivables from brokerage clients consist primarily of margin loans to brokerage clients. Margin loans are loans made to clients on a secured basis to purchase securities. Pursuant to applicable regulations, client cash balances that are not used for margin lending are generally segregated into investment accounts that are maintained for the exclusive benefit of clients, which are recorded in cash and investments segregated on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets.

The Company’s interest-earning assets are primarily funded through brokerage client cash balances and bank deposits. These interest-bearing liabilities are primarily sensitive to short-term rates, and the Company establishes the rates paid on most of these liabilities. The Company expects that the rate paid on these liabilities will generally adjust at some fraction of the movement in short-term market rates. The rates on the majority of the firm’s investment securities and loans re-price or reset based on short-term market rates. A smaller portion is invested in fixed-rate loans and securities. As such, the Company expects that net interest revenue will increase as short-term market rates increase, and decline as rates fall from current levels. When interest rates fall, the Company may attempt to mitigate some of this negative impact by lowering rates paid to clients on interest-bearing liabilities. The current low interest rate environment limits the extent to which the Company can reduce interest expense on funding sources. The Company may also alter the amount and type of fixed-rate loans and securities that are added to the portfolio. Generally, increases in the percentage of fixed-rate assets relative to total interest-bearing liabilities will reduce the rate at which net interest revenue changes if rates move.

Non-interest-bearing funding sources include non-interest-bearing brokerage client cash balances, stockholders’ equity, and proceeds from stock-lending activities. Revenue from stock-lending activities is included in other interest revenue.

(1)	Interest revenue or expense was less than $500,000 in the period or periods presented.
(2)	Amounts have been calculated based on amortized cost.
(3 )	Includes the impact of capitalizing interest on building construction and software development.

Net interest revenue increased in the second quarter and first half of 2015 compared to the same periods in 2014, primarily due to higher balances of interest-earning assets, including the Company’s investment portfolio, partially offset by the effect lower average interest rates had on the Company’s average net interest margin. The growth in the average balances in bank deposits resulted from an increase in the excess cash held in certain brokerage client accounts swept to Schwab Bank. The growth in bank deposits contributed to the increase in interest-earning assets.

Trading Revenue

Trading revenue includes commission and principal transaction revenues. Commission revenue is affected by the number of revenue trades executed and the average revenue earned per revenue trade. Principal transaction revenue is primarily comprised of revenue from trading activity in client fixed income securities. To accommodate clients’ fixed income trading activity, the Company maintains positions in fixed income securities, including state and municipal debt obligations, U.S. Government, corporate debt, and other securities. The difference between the price at which the Company buys and sells securities to and from its clients and other broker-dealers is recognized as principal transaction revenue. Principal transaction revenue also includes adjustments to the fair value of these securities positions. Factors that influence principal transaction revenue include the volume of client trades and market price volatility.

Clients’ daily average trades is an indicator of client engagement with securities markets.

Trading revenue decreased by $9 million, or 4%, in the second quarter of 2015 compared to the second quarter of 2014, primarily due to a decrease in commission revenue as a result of lower commissions per revenue trade and lower daily average revenue trades. Trading revenue decreased by $29 million or 6% in the first half of 2015 compared to the first half of 2014 primarily due to a decrease in commission revenue as a result of lower daily average revenue trades and commissions per revenue trades. Daily average revenue trades decreased in the second quarter and first half of 2015 compared to the same periods in 2014, primarily due to a lower volume of equity and option trades, offset by a higher volume of mutual fund trades. Average revenue per revenue trade decreased 2% and 1%, respectively, in the second quarter and first half of 2015 compared to the same periods in 2014.

Other Revenue

Other revenue includes order flow revenue, nonrecurring gains, software fees from the Company’s portfolio management services, exchange processing fees, and other service fees.

Other revenue increased by $14 million, or 22%, and $9 million, or 7%, in the second quarter and first half of 2015 compared to the same periods in 2014, respectively, primarily due to litigation proceeds of $17 million in the second quarter of 2015 relating to the Company’s non-agency residential mortgage-backed securities portfolio, partially offset by a decrease in order flow revenue.

Order flow revenue was $25 million and $52 million during the second quarter and first half of 2015, respectively, compared to $27 million and $59 million during the second quarter and first half of 2014, respectively. The decrease in order flow revenue in both periods was primarily due to changes in the composition and volume of different types of orders and the fees and rebates for such orders.

Expenses Excluding Interest

As shown in the table below, expenses excluding interest increased in the second quarter and first half of 2015 compared to the same periods in 2014, primarily due to increases in compensation and benefits, depreciation and amortization, and other expense.

Compensation and Benefits

Compensation and benefits expense includes salaries and wages, incentive compensation, and related employee benefits and taxes. Incentive compensation includes variable compensation, discretionary bonuses, and stock-based compensation. Variable compensation includes payments to certain individuals based on their sales performance. Discretionary bonuses are based on the Company’s overall performance as measured by EPS, and therefore will fluctuate with this measure. Stock-based compensation primarily includes employee and board of director stock options and restricted stock.

The following table shows a comparison of certain compensation and benefits components and employee data:

(1)	Includes full-time, part-time and temporary employees, and persons employed on a contract basis, and excludes employees of outsourced service providers.

Salaries and wages increased in the second quarter and first half of 2015 compared to the same periods in 2014, primarily due to higher employee headcount and annual salary increases.

Incentive compensation decreased in the second quarter of 2015 compared to the second quarter of 2014, due to lower discretionary bonuses , partially offset by increases in equity-based incentives. Incentive compensation increased in the first half of 2015 compared to the first half of 2014, primarily due to the earlier recognition of certain equity-based incentives due to plan changes and higher field incentive plan costs relating to increased net client asset flows.

(Tabular Amounts in Millions, Except Ratios, or as Noted)

Employee benefits and other expense increased in the second quarter and first half of 2015 compared to the same periods in 2014, due to increases in payroll taxes as a result of higher employee headcount. The increase in employee benefits in the first half of 2015 was also due to the Company matching 401(k) contributions by pay period in 2015 instead of annually and more employees choosing to fund their 401(k) contributions from annual bonuses.

Expenses Excluding Compensation and Benefits

Professional services expense was flat in the second quarter of 2015 compared to the second quarter of 2014. Professional services increased in the first half of 2015 compared to the first half of 2014, primarily due to an increase in fees paid to outsourced service providers and consultants.

Occupancy and equipment expense increased in the second quarter and first half of 2015 compared to the same periods in 2014, primarily due to an increase in software maintenance expense relating to the Company’s information technology systems.

Depreciation and amortization expense increased in the second quarter and first half of 2015 compared to the same periods in 2014, primarily due to increased amortization of internally-developed software.

Other expense increased in the second quarter of 2015 compared to the second quarter of 2014, primarily due to increases in regulatory assessments, reserves for margin loss estimates, and travel costs.

Taxes on Income

The Company’s effective income tax rate on income before taxes was 37.7% and 37.8% for the second quarters of 2015 and 2014, respectively. The Company’s effective income tax rate on income before taxes was 37.7% for both first halves of 2015 and 2014, respectively.

Segment Information

The Company provides financial services to individuals and institutional clients through two segments – Investor Services and Advisor Services. The Investor Services segment provides retail brokerage and banking services to individual investors, retirement plan services, and corporate brokerage services. The Advisor Services segment provides custodial, trading, and support services to independent investment advisors, and retirement business services to independent retirement plan advisors and recordkeepers whose plan assets are held at Schwab Bank. Banking revenues and expenses are allocated to the Company’s two segments based on which segment services the client. The Company evaluates the performance of its segments on a pre-tax basis, excluding items such as significant nonrecurring gains, impairment charges on non-financial assets, discontinued operations, extraordinary items, and significant restructuring and other charges. Segment assets and liabilities are not used for evaluating segment performance or in deciding how to allocate resources to segments.

Investor Services

Net revenues increased by $50 million, or 4%, and $70 million, or 3%, in the second quarter and first half of 2015 compared to the same periods in 2014 primarily due to increases in asset management and administration fees, net interest revenue, and other revenue, partially offset by a decrease in trading revenue. Asset management and administration fees increased primarily due to fees from advice solutions. Advice solutions fees increased primarily due to growth in client assets enrolled in advisory offers. Net interest revenue increased primarily due to higher balances of interest-earning assets, including the Company’s investment portfolio, partially offset by the effect lower average interest rates had on the Company’s average net interest margin. Other revenue increased primarily due to litigation proceeds relating to the Company’s non-agency residential mortgage-backed securities portfolio, partially offset by a decrease in order flow revenue. Trading revenue decreased primarily due to a decrease in commission revenue as a result of lower commissions per revenue trades and lower daily average revenue trades.

Expenses excluding interest increased by $36 million, or 5%, and $92 million, or 6%, in the second quarter and first half of 2015 compared to the same periods in 2014, primarily due to increases in compensation and benefits, occupancy and equipment, and depreciation and amortization expense.

Advisor Services

Net revenues increased by $38 million, or 11%, and $66 million, or 10%, in the second quarter and first half of 2015 compared to the same periods in 2014 primarily due to increases in net interest revenue and asset management and administration fees. Net interest revenue increased primarily due to higher balances of interest-earning assets, including the Company’s investment portfolio, partially offset by the effect lower average interest rates had on the Company’s average net interest margin. Asset management and administration fees increased due to fees from mutual fund services and other asset management and administration services. Mutual fund service fees increased primarily due to growth in client assets invested in equity and bond funds. Other asset management and administration service fees increased primarily due to third-party mutual fund service fees on higher client asset balances invested in other third-party mutual funds.

Expenses excluding interest increased by $6 million, or 3%, and $36 million, or 8%, in the second quarter and first half of 2015 compared to the same periods in 2014 , primarily due to increases in compensation and benefits and other expense.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company’s cash position (reported as cash and cash equivalents on its condensed consolidated balance sheets) and cash flows are affected by changes in brokerage client cash balances and the associated amounts required to be segregated under regulatory guidelines. Timing differences between cash and investments actually segregated on a given date and the amount required to be segregated for that date may arise in the ordinary course of business, and are addressed by the Company in accordance with applicable regulations. Other factors which affect the Company’s cash position and cash flows include investment activity in security portfolios, levels of capital expenditures, acquisition and divestiture activity, banking client deposit activity, brokerage and banking client loan activity, financing activity in long-term debt, payments of dividends, and repurchases and issuances of CSC’s preferred and common stock. The combination of these factors can cause significant fluctuations in the cash position during specific time periods .

The Company monitors both the relative composition and absolute level of its capital structure. Management is focused on optimizing the Company’s use of capital and currently targets a long-term debt to total financial capital ratio not to exceed 30%. The Company’s total financial capital (long-term debt plus stockholders’ equity) at June 30, 2015 was $ 15.3 billion, up $ 1.6 billion , or 12 %, from December 31 , 2014.

CSC conducts substantially all of its business through its wholly-owned subsidiaries. The Company’s capital structure is designed to provide each subsidiary with capital and liquidity to meet its operational needs and regulatory requirements.

CSC is a savings and loan holding company and Schwab Bank, CSC’s depository institution, is a federal savings bank. CSC is subject to supervision and regulation by the Federal Reserve and Schwab Bank is subject to supervision and regulation by the OCC.

CSC

CSC’s liquidity needs arise from funding its subsidiaries’ operations, including margin and mortgage lending, and transaction settlement, in addition to funding cash dividends, acquisitions, investments, short- and long-term debt, and managing statutory capital requirements.

CSC’s liquidity needs are generally met through cash generated by its subsidiaries, as well as cash provided by external financing. CSC has a universal shelf registration statement on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission ( SEC ) which enables CSC to issue debt, equity and other securities. CSC maintains excess liquidity in the form of overnight cash deposits , short-term investments to cover daily funding needs and to support growth in the Company’s business , and long-term investments to support contingent funding needs . Generally, CSC does not hold liquidity at its subsidiaries in excess of amounts deemed sufficient to support the subsidiaries’ operations, including any regulatory capital requirements. Schwab, Schwab Bank, and optionsXpress, Inc. are subject to regulatory requirements that may restrict them from certain transactions with CSC, as further discussed below.

On March 10, 2015, CSC issued $625 million aggregate principal amount of Senior Notes that mature in 2018 and $375 million aggregate principal amount of Senior Notes that mature in 2025 under its universal shelf registration statement on file with the SEC. The Senior Notes due 2018 have a fixed interest rate of 1.50% with interest payable semi-annually. The Senior Notes due 2025 have a fixed interest rate of 3.00% with interest payable semi-annually.

In connection with the above Senior Note issuances, CSC purchased $575 million of 3-year Treasury securities and $225 million of 10-year Treasury securities that are held at CSC to augment its liquidity position.

CSC has authorization from its Board of Directors to issue unsecured commercial paper notes (Commercial Paper Notes) not to exceed $1.5 billion. Management has set a current limit for the commercial paper program of $800 million. The maturities of the Commercial Paper Notes may vary, but are not to exceed 270 days from the date of issue. The commercial paper is not redeemable prior to maturity and cannot be voluntarily prepaid. The proceeds of the commercial paper program are to be used for general corporate purposes. There were no borrowings of Commercial Paper Notes outstanding at June 30, 2015. CSC’s ratings for these short-term borrowings are P1 by Moody’s, A1 by Standard & Poor’s, and F1 by Fitch.

CSC maintains a $750 million committed, unsecured credit facility with a group of 11 banks, which is scheduled to expire in June 2016. This facility replaced a similar facility that expired in June 2015 and both facilities were unused during the first half of 2015. The funds under this facility are available for general corporate purposes. The financial covenants under this facility require Schwab to maintain a minimum net capital ratio, as defined, Schwab Bank to be well capitalized, as defined, and CSC to maintain a minimum level of stockholders’ equity, excluding accumulated other comprehensive income. At June 30, 2015, the minimum level of stockholders’ equity required under this facility was $8.5 billion (CSC’s stockholders’ equity, excluding accumulated other comprehensive income, at June 30, 2015 was $12.2 billion). Management believes that these restrictions will not have a material effect on CSC’s ability to meet foreseeable dividend or funding requirements.

CSC also has direct access to certain of the uncommitted, unsecured bank credit lines discussed below, that are primarily utilized by Schwab to manage short-term liquidity. These lines were not used by CSC during the first half of 2015 .

CSC is required to serve as a source of strength for Schwab Bank and must have the ability to provide financial assistance if Schwab Bank experiences financial distress. To manage capital adequacy, the Company currently utilizes a target Tier 1 Leverage Ratio for CSC , as currently defined by the Federal Reserve, of at least 6%. Beginning on January 1, 2015, CSC became subject to new capital requirements set by the Federal Reserve. Based on its regulatory capital ratios at June 30, 2015, CSC exceeded minimum capital requirements. S ee “Item 1 – Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) – Notes – 11. Regulatory Requirements” for CSC ’s regulatory capital and ratios .

Schwab

Schwab’s l iquidity needs relating to client trading and margin borrowing activities are met primarily through cash balances in brokerage client accounts, which were $ 29.2 billion and $ 32.0 billion at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 , respectively. Management believes that brokerage client cash balances and operating earnings will continue to be the primary sources of liquidity for Schwab.

Most of Schwab’s assets are readily convertible to cash, consisting primarily of short-term investment-grade, interest-earning investments (the majority of which are segregated for the exclusive benefit of clients pursuant to regulatory requirements), receivables from brokerage clients, and receivables from brokers, dealers, and clearing organizations. Client margin loans are demand loan obligations secured by readily marketable securities. Receivables from and payables to brokers, dealers, and clearing organizations primarily represent current open transactions, which usually settle, or can be closed out, within a few business days.

Schwab has a finance lease obligation related to an offi ce building and land under a 20- year lease. The remaining finance lease obligation of $ 79 million at June 30, 2015 is being reduced by a portion of the lease payments over the remaining lease term of nine years.

To manage short-term liquidity, Schwab maintains uncommitted, unsecured bank credit lines with a group of banks. The need for short-term borrowings arises primarily from timing differences between cash flow requirements, scheduled liquidation of interest-earning investments, and movements of cash to meet regulatory brokerage client cash segregation

requirements. Schwab used such borrowings for six days during the first half of 2015, with average daily amounts borrowed of $137 million. There were no borrowings outstanding under these lines at June 30, 2015.

To partially satisfy the margin requirement of client option transactions with the Options Clearing Corporation, Schwab has unsecured standby letter of credit agreements (LOCs) with five banks in favor of the Options Clearing Corporation aggregating $225 million at June 30, 2015. There were no funds drawn under any of these LOCs during the first half of 2015 . In connection with its securities lending activities, Schwab is required to provide collateral to certain brokerage clients. Schwab satisfies the collateral requirements by providing cash as collateral.

Schwab is subject to regulatory requirements of Rule 15c3-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the Uniform Net Capital Rule) that are intended to ensure the general financial soundness and liquidity of broker-dealers. These regulations prohibit Schwab from repaying subordinated borrowings from CSC, paying cash dividends, or making unsecured advances or loans to its parent company or employees if such payment would result in a net capital amount of less than 5% of aggregate debit balances or less than 120% of its minimum dollar requirement of $ 250,000 . At June 30, 2015 , Schwab’s net capital was $ 1.7 billion ( 9 % of aggregate debit balances), which was $ 1.3 billion in excess of its minimum required net capital and $ 767 million in excess of 5% of aggregate debit balances.

Schwab is also subject to Rule 15c3-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and other applicable regulations that require it to maintain cash or qualified securities in a segregated reserve account for the exclusive benefit of clients. These funds are included in cash and investments segregated and on deposit for regulatory purposes in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets and are not available as a general source of liquidity.

To manage Schwab’s regulatory capital requirement, CSC provides Schwab with a $ 1.4 billion subordinated revolving credit facility, which is scheduled to expire in March 2016 . The amount outstanding under this facility at June 30, 2015 was $ 465 million. Borrowings under this subordinated lending arrangement qualify as regulatory capital for Schwab.

In addition, CSC provides Schwab with a $2.5 billion credit facility, which is scheduled to expire in December 2017 . Borrowings under this facility do not qualify as regulatory capital for Schwab. There were no funds drawn under this facility at June 30, 2015 .

Schwab Bank

Schwab Bank’s liquidity needs are met through bank deposits and equity capital.

Bank deposits at June 30, 2015 were $112.9 billion, which includes the excess cash held in certain Schwab and optionsXpress, Inc. brokerage client accounts that is swept into deposit accounts at Schwab Bank. At June 30, 2015 , these balances totaled $ 92.2 billion.

Schwab Bank has access to traditional funding sources such as deposits, federal funds purchased, and repurchase agreements. Additionally, Schwab Bank has access to short-term funding through the Federal Reserve Bank (FRB) discount window. Amounts available under the FRB discount window are dependent on the fair value of certain of Schwab Bank’s securities available for sale and/or securities held to maturity that are pledged as collateral to the FRB . Schwab Bank maintains policies and procedures necessary to access this funding and tests discount window borrowing procedures annually. At June 30, 2015 , $ 2.2 billion was available under this arrangement. There were no funds drawn under this arrangement during the first half of 2015 .

Schwab Bank maintains a credit facility with the Federal Home Loan Bank System. Amounts available under this facility are dependent on the amount of Schwab Bank’s residential real estate mortgages and HELOCs that are pledged as collateral. Schwab Bank maintains policies and procedures necessary to access this funding and tests borrowing procedures annually. At June 30 , 2015 , $ 9.2 billion was available under this facility. There were no funds drawn under this facility during the first half of 2015 .

Schwab Bank is subject to regulatory requirements that restrict and govern the terms of affiliate transactions, such as extensions of credit and repayment of loans between Schwab Bank and CSC or CSC’s other subsidiaries. In addition, Schwab

Bank is required to provide notice to and may be required to obtain approval of the OCC and the Federal Reserve to declare dividends to CSC.

Schwab Bank is required to maintain capital levels as specified in federal banking laws and regulations. Failure to meet the minimum levels could result in certain mandatory and possibly additional discretionary actions by the regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on Schwab Bank. The Company currently utilizes a target Tier 1 Leverage Ratio for Schwab Bank of at least 6.25%. Beginning on January 1, 2015, Schwab Bank is subject to new capital requirements set by the OCC. Based on its regulatory capital ratios at June 30, 2015 , Schwab Bank is considered well capitalized. S ee “Item 1 – Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) – Notes – 11. Regulatory Requirements” for Schwab Bank’s regulatory capital and ratios .

optionsXpress , Inc.

optionsXpress, Inc.’s l iquidity needs relating to client trading and margin borrowing activities are met primarily through cash balances in brokerage client accounts, which were $ 1.1 billion and $942 million at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively. Management believes that brokerage client cash balances and operating earnings will continue to be the primary sources of liquidity for optionsXpress , Inc.

optionsXpress, Inc. is subject to regulatory requirements of the Uniform Net Capital Rule that are intended to ensure the general financial soundness and liquidity of broker-dealers. These regulations prohibit optionsXpress, Inc. from paying cash dividends or making unsecured advances or loans to its parent company or employees if such payment would result in a net capital amount of less than 5% of aggregate debit balances or less than 120% of its minimum dollar requirement of $250,000. At June 30, 2015 , optionsXpress, Inc.’s net capital was $ 131 million ( 31 % of aggregate debit balances), which was $ 123 million in excess of its minimum required net capital and $ 110 million in excess of 5% of aggregate debit balances.

optionsXpress, Inc. is also subject to Commodity Future s Trading Commission Regulation 1.17 (Reg. 1.17) under the Commodity Exchange Act, which also requires the maintenance of minimum net capital. optionsXpress, Inc. as a futures commission merchant, is required to maintain minimum net capital equal to the greater of its net capital requirement under Reg. 1.17 ($1 million), or the sum of 8% of the total risk margin requirements for all positions carried in customer accounts and 8% of the total risk margin requirements for all positions carried in non-custom er accounts (as defined in Reg. 1.17). At June 30, 2015, optionsXpress, Inc. met the requirements of Reg. 1.17.

Additionally, options Xpress, Inc. is subject to Rule 15c3-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and other applicable regulations that require it to maintain cash or qualified securities in a segregated reserve account for the exclusive benefit of clients.

To partially satisfy the margin requirement of client option transactions with the Options Clearing Corporation, optionsXpress, Inc. has an unsecured standby LOC with one bank in favor of the Options Clearing Corporation in the amount of $15 million at June 30, 2015. There were no funds drawn under this LOC during the first half of 2015.

CSC provides optionsXpress, Inc. with a $ 200 million credit facility, which is scheduled to expire in December 2016 . Borrowings under this facility do not qualify as regulatory capital for optionsXpress, Inc. There was $20 million of borrowings outstanding under this facility at June 30, 2015.

optionsXpress has a term loan with CSC, of which $ 3 million was outstanding at June 30, 2015, and it matures in December 2017 .

Long-term Debt

At June 30, 2015 , the Company had long-term debt of $ 2.9 billion, or 19 % of total financial capital , that bears interest at a weighted-average rate of 3.07%.

Capital Expenditures

The Company’s capital expenditures were $ 139 million and $ 168 million in the first halves of 2015 and 2014 , respectively. The Company’s capital expenditures include $14 million and $3 million of accrued but unpaid capital expenditures at June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. Capital expenditures in the first half of 2015 were primarily for developing internal-use software, buildings, and software and equipment relating to the Company’s information technology systems. Capital expenditures for the first half of 2014 were primarily for buildings, developing internal-use software, and software and equipment relating to the Company’s information technology systems. Capitalized costs for developing internal-use software were $ 49 million and $ 36 million in the first halves of 2015 and 2014 , respectively.

As discussed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014, management anticipated that the 2015 capital expenditures would be approximately 15% lower than 2014. However, management has revised the Company’s estimated full year 2015 capital expenditures to be approximately 5% less than 2014 levels primarily due to capitalized costs for developing internal-use software, and equipment relating to the Company’s information technology systems.

Dividends

CSC paid common stock cash dividends of $ 159 million ($ 0.12 per share) and $157 million ($0.12 per share) in the first halves of 2015 and 2014, respectively .

CSC paid Series A Preferred Stock cash dividends of $14 million ($35.00 per share) in both the first halves of 2015 and 2014. CSC paid Series B Preferred Stock cash dividends of $15 million ($30.00 per share) in both the first halves of 2015 and 2014, respectively .

Share Repurchases

There were no repurchases of CSC’s common stock in the first halves of 2015 and 2014 . As of June 30, 2015 , CSC had remaining authority from the Board of Directors to repurchase up to $596 million of its common stock, which is no t subject to expiration.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

The Company enters into various off-balance sheet arrangements in the ordinary course of business, primarily to meet the needs of its clients. These arrangements include firm commitments to extend credit. Additionally, the Company enters into guarantees and other similar arrangements as part of transactions in the ordinary course of business. For discussion on the Company’s off-balance sheet arrangements, see “Part II – Item 7 – Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Liquidity and Capital Resources – Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements ” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10 - K for the year ended December 31, 2014, and “Item 1 – Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) – Notes – 6 . Commitments and Contingencies.”

Risk Management

The Company’s business activities expose it to a variety of risks, including operational, credit, market, liquidity, compliance and legal risk. The Company has a comprehensive risk management program to identify and manage these risks and their associated potential for financial and reputational impact. Despite the Company’s efforts to identify areas of risk and implement risk management policies and procedures, there can be no assurance that the Company will not suffer unexpected losses due to these risks .

(Tabular Amounts in Millions, Except Ratios, or as Noted)

For a discussion on risks that the Company faces and the Company’s process of risk identification and assessment, risk measurement, risk monitoring and reporting and risk mitigation , see “Item 7 – Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Risk Management” in the Com pany’s Annual Report on Form 10- K for the year ended December 31, 2014 . For updated information on the Company’s credit risk and concentration risk exposures, see below. See “Item 3 – Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk” for additional information relating to market risk.

Credit Risk Exposures

The Company’s credit risk exposure related to bank loans is actively managed through individual and portfolio reviews performed by management. Management regularly reviews asset quality, including concentrations, delinquencies, nonaccrual loans, charge-offs, and recoveries. All are factors in the determination of an appropriate allowance for loan losses. The Company’s mortgage loan portfolios primarily include first lien residential real estate mortgage loans ( First Mortgages ) of $ 8.2 billion and HELOCs of $ 2.8 billion at June 30, 2015 .

The Company’s underwriting guidelines include maximum loan-to-value (LTV) ratios, cash out limits, and minimum Fair Isaac Corporation (FICO) credit scores. The specific guidelines are dependent on the individual characteristics of a loan (for example, whether the property is a primary or secondary residence, whether the loan is for investment property, whether the loan is for an initial purchase of a home or refinance of an existing home, and whether the loan is conforming or jumbo). These credit underwriting standards have limited the exposure to the types of loans that experienced high foreclosures and loss rates elsewhere in the industry in recent years. In January 2014, the Company revised its First Mortgage underwriting criteria in conformance with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau’s new guidance on Qualified Mortgage lending and a borrower’s ability to repay. Revisions were made to requirements affecting debt to income ratio, LTV ratio, and liquid asset holdings. These revised underwriting criteria have not and are not expected to have a material impact on the credit quality of the Company’s First Mortgage or HELOC portfolios. The Company does not purchase loans that allow for negative amortization and does not purchase subprime loans (generally defined as extensions of credit to borrowers with a FICO score of less than 620 at origination), unless the borrower has compensating credit factors. At June 30, 2015 , approximately 1 % of both the First Mortgage and HELOC portfolios consisted of loans to borrowers with updated FICO scores of less than 620.

At June 30, 2015 , the weighted-average originated LTV ratio was 59 % for both the First Mortgage and HELOC portfolios. The computation of the origination LTV ratio for a HELOC includes any first lien mortgage outstanding on the same property at the time of origination. At June 30, 2015 , 21 % of HELOCs ($ 609 million of the HELOC portfolio) were in a first lien position. The weighted-average originated FICO score was 770 and 769 for the First Mortgage and HELOC portfolios , respectively .

The Company monitors the estimated current LTV ratios of its First Mortgage and HELOC portfolios on an ongoing basis. At June 30, 2015 , the weighted-average estimated current LTV ratios were 48 % and 52 % for the First Mortgage and HELOC portfolios, respectively. The computation of the estimated current LTV ratio for a HELOC includes any first lien mortgage outstanding on the same property at the time of the HELOC’s origination. The Company estimates the current LTV ratio for each loan by reference to a home price appreciation index. The Company also monitors updated borrower FICO scores, delinquency trends, and verified liquid assets held by individual borrowers. At June 30, 2015 , the weighted-average updated FICO scores were 773 and 770 for the First Mortgage and HELOC portfolios, respectively.

The majority of the Company’s HELOC portfolio is secured by second liens on the associated properties. Second lien mortgage loans possess a higher degree of credit risk given the subordination to the first lien holder in the event of default. At June 30, 2015 , $ 2.2 billion, or 79 %, of the HELOC portfolio was in a second lien position. In addition to the credit monitoring activities described above, the Company also monitors credit risk on second lien HELOC loans by reviewing the delinquency status of the first lien loan on the associated property. Additionally, at June 30, 2015 , approximately 30 % of the HELOC borrowers that had a balance only paid the minimum amount due.

For more information on the Company’s credit quality indicators relating to its First Mortgage and HELOC portfolios, including delinquency characteristics, borrower FICO scores at origination, updated borrower FICO scores, LTV ratios at origination, and estimated current LTV ratios, see “Item 1 – Condensed Consolidated Financial Stat ements (Unaudited) – Notes – 4. Bank Loans and Related Allowance for Loan Losses.”

The following table presents certain of the Company’s loan quality metrics as a percentage of total outstanding loans:


	June 30,			December 31,
	2015			2014
Loan delinquencies (1)		0.20	%		0.27	%
Nonaccrual loans		0.22	%		0.26	%
Allowance for loan losses		0.26	%		0.31	%


(1)	Loan delinquencies include loans that are 30 days or more past due and other nonaccrual loans .

The Company has exposure to credit risk associated with its securities available for sale and securities held to maturity portfolios, whose fair values totaled $ 63.4 billion and $ 38.0 billion at June 30, 2015 , respectively. These portfolios include U.S. agency and non-agency mortgage-backed securities, asset-backed securities, corporate debt securities, U.S. agency notes, treasury securities, and certificates of deposit . U.S. agency mortgage-backed securities do not have explicit credit ratings ; however, management considers these to be of the highest credit quality and rating given the guarantee of principal and interest by the U.S. government-sponsored enterprises.

At June 30, 2015 , with the exception of certain non-agency residential mortgage-backed securities, all securities in the available for sale and held to maturity portfolios were rated investment grade (defined as a rating equivalent to a Moody’s rating of “Baa” or higher, or a Standard & Poor’s rating of “BBB-” or higher).

Concentration Risk Exposures

The Company has exposure to concentration risk when holding large positions in financial instruments collateralized by assets with similar economic characteristics or in securities of a single issuer or within a particular industry.

The fair value of the Company’s investments in mortgage-backed securities totaled $ 58.9 billion at June 30, 2015 . Of these, $ 57.6 billion were issued by U.S. agencies and $ 1.3 billion were issued by private entities (non-agency securities). These U.S. agency and non-agency securities are included in securities available for sale and securities held to maturity.

The fair value of the Company’s investments in asset-backed securities totaled $21.7 billion at June 30, 2015. Of these, $12.5 billion were securities backed by student loans, the majority of which are guaranteed by the U.S. federal government. These asset-backed securities are included in securities available for sale.

The fair value of the Company’s investments in corporate debt securities and commercial paper totaled $ 10.0 billion at June 30, 2015 , with the majority issued by institutions in the financial services industry. These securities are included in securities available for sale, cash and cash equivalents, and other securities owned in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets. Issuer, geographic, and sector concentrations are controlled by established credit policy limits to each concentration type.

The Company’s bank loans include $ 7.4 billion of adjustable rate First Mortgage loans at June 30, 2015 . The Company’s adjustable rate mortgages have initial fixed interest rates for three to ten years and interest rates that adjust annually thereafter. Approximately 40 % of these mortgages consisted of loans with interest-only payment terms. The interest rates on approximately 55 % of the se interest-only loans are not scheduled to reset for three or more years. The Company’s mortgage loans do not include interest terms described as temporary introductory rates below current market rates.

As of June 30, 2015, 48% of the Company’s HELOC and First Mortgage portfolio was concentrated in California. These loans have performed in a manner consistent with the portfolio as a whole.

The Company’s HELOC product has a 30-year loan term with an initial draw period of ten years from the date of origination. After the initial draw period, the balance outstanding at such time is converted to a 20-year amortizing loan. The interest rate during the initial draw period and the 20-year amortizing period is a floating rate based on the prime rate plus a margin. HELOCs that convert to an amortizing loan may experience higher delinquencies and higher loss rates than those in the initial draw period. The Company’s allowance for loan loss methodology takes this increased inherent risk into consideration. The following table presents when current outstanding HELOCs will convert to amortizing loans:


June 30, 2015	Balance
Converted to amortizing loan by period end	$	393
Within 1 year		229
> 1 year – 3 years		592
> 3 years – 5 years		797
> 5 years		832
Total	$	2,843

The Company also has exposure to concentration risk from its margin and securities le nding and client option and futures activities collateralized by or referencing securities o f a single issuer, an index, or within a single industry. This concentration risk is mitigated by collateral arrangements that require the fair value of such collateral exceed the amounts loaned.

The Company has indirect exposure to U.S. Government and agency securities held as collateral to secure its resale agreements. The Company’s primary credit exposure on these resale transactions is with its counterparty. The Company would have exposure to the U.S. Government and agency securities only in the event of the counterparty’s default on the resale agreements. The fair value of U.S. Government and agency securities held as collateral for resale agreements totaled $ 8.6 billion at June 30, 2015 .

European Holdings

The Company has exposure to non-sovereign financial and non-financial institutions in Europe. The following table shows the balances of this exposure by each country in Europe in which the issuer or counterparty is domiciled. The Company has no direct exposure to sovereign governments in Europe. The Company does not have unfunded commitments to counterparties in Europe, nor does it have exposure as a result of credit default protection purchased or sold separately as of June 30, 2015 .

In addition to the direct holdings of European companies listed above, the Company also has indirect exposure to Europe through its investments in Schwab sponsored money market funds (collectively, the Funds) resu lting from clearing activities. At June 30, 2015 , the Company had $ 248 million in investments in these Funds. Certain of the Funds’ positions include certificates of deposits, time deposits, commercial paper and corporate debt securities issued by counterparties in Europe.

Item 3. Quan titative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Market risk is the potential for changes in earnings or the value of financial instruments held by the Company as a result of fluctuations in interest rates, equity prices or market conditions.

The Company is exposed to interest rate risk primarily from changes in market interest rates on its interest-earning assets relative to changes in the costs of its funding sources that finance these assets. The majority of the Company’s interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities are sensitive to changes in short-term interest rates. To a lesser degree, the Company is sensitive to changes in long-term interest rates through some of its investment portfolios. To manage the Company’s market risk related to interest rates, management utilizes simulation models, which include the net interest revenue sensitivity analysis described below.

Net interest revenue is affected by various factors, such as the distribution and composition of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, the spread between yields earned on interest-earning assets and rates paid on interest-bearing liabilities, which may reprice at different times or by different amounts, and the spread between short and long-term interest rates. Interest-earning assets include residential real estate loans and mortgage-backed securities. These assets are sensitive to changes in interest rates and to changes to prepayment levels that tend to increase in a declining rate environment and decrease in a rising rate environment. Because the Company establishes the rates paid on certain brokerage client cash balances and bank deposits and the rates charged on margin loans and bank loans, and controls the composition of its investment securities, it has some ability to manage its net interest spread, depending on competitive factors and market conditions.

To mitigate the risk of loss, the Company has established policies and procedures which include setting guidelines on the amount of net interest revenue at risk, and monitoring the net interest margin and average maturity of its interest-earning assets and funding sources. To remain within these guidelines, the Company manages the maturity, repricing, and cash flow characteristics of the investment portfolios.

The Company is also subject to market risk as a result of fluctuations in option and equity prices. The Company’s direct holdings of option and equity securities and its associated exposure to option and equity prices are not material. The Company is indirectly exposed to option, futures, and equity market fluctuations in connection with client option and futures accounts, securities collateralizing margin loans to brokerage customers, and customer securities loaned out as part of the Company’s securities lending activities. Equity market valuations may also affect the level of brokerage client trading activity, margin borrowing, and overall client engagement with the Company. Additionally, the Company earns mutual fund service fees and asset management fees based upon daily balances of certain client assets. Fluctuations in these client asset balances caused by changes in equity valuations directly impact the amount of fee revenue earned by the Company.

Financial instruments held by the Company are also subject to liquidity risk – that is, the risk that valuations will be negatively affected by changes in demand and the underlying market for a financial instrument. Current conditions in the credit markets have significantly reduced market liquidity in a wide range of financial instruments, including the types of instruments held by the Company, and fair value can differ significantly from the value implied by the credit quality and actual performance of the instrument’s underlying cash flows.

For discussion of the impact of current market conditions on asset management and administration fees and net interest revenue, see “Item 2 – Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Current Market and Regulatory Environment and Other Developments.”

The Company’s market risk related to financial instruments held for trading is not material.

Net Interest Revenue Simulation

For the Company’s net interest revenue sensitivity analysis, the Company uses net interest revenue simulation modeling techniques to evaluate and manage the effect of changing interest rates. The simulation includes all interest-sensitive assets and liabilities. Key variables in the simulation include the repricing of financial instruments, prepayment, reinvestment, and product pricing assumptions. The Company uses constant balances and market rates in the simulation assumptions in order to minimize the number of variables and to better isolate risks. The simulations involve assumptions that are inherently uncertain and, as a result, cannot precisely estimate net interest revenue or predict the impact of changes in interest rates on

- 27 -

THE CHARLES SCHWAB CORPORATION

net interest revenue. Actual results may differ from simulated results due to balance growth or decline and the timing, magnitude, and frequency of interest rate changes, as well as changes in market conditions and management strategies, including changes in asset and liability mix.

If the Company’s guidelines for its net interest revenue sensitivity are breached, management must report the breach to the Company’s Corporate Asset-Liability Management and Pricing Committee (Corporate ALCO) and establish a plan to address the interest rate risk. This plan could include, but is not limited to, rebalancing certain investment portfolios or using derivative instruments to mitigate the interest rate risk. Depending on the severity and expected duration of the breach, as well as the then current interest rate environment, the plan could also be to take no action. Any plan that recommends taking action is required to be approved by the Company’s Corporate ALCO. There were no breaches of the Company’s net interest revenue sensitivity guidelines during the first half of 2015 or year ended December 31, 2014.

As represented by the simulations presented below, the Company’s investment strategy is structured to produce an increase in net interest revenue when interest rates rise and, conversely, a decrease in net interest revenue when interest rates fall.

T he simulations in the following table assume that the asset and liability structure of the consolidated balance sheet would not be changed as a result of the simulated changes in interest rates. As the Company actively manages its consolidated balance sheet and interest rate exposure, in all likelihood the Company would take steps to manage any additional interest rate exposure that could result from changes in the interest rate environment. The following table shows the results of a gradual 100 basis point increase or decrease in market interest rates relative to the Company’s current market rates forecast on simulated net interest revenue over the next 12 months beginning June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014.


	June 30,		December 31,
	2015		2014
Increase of 100 basis points	10.6	%	11.8	%
Decrease of 100 basis points	(5.9)	%	(4.9)	%

The sensitivities shown in the simulation reflect the fact that short-term interest rates in the first half of 2015 remained at low levels, including the federal funds target rate, which was unchanged at a range of zero to 0.25%. The current low interest rate environment limits the extent to which the Company can reduce interest expense paid on funding sources. A decline in interest rates could negatively impact the yield on the Company’s investment portfolio to a greater degree than any offsetting reduction in interest expense, further compressing net interest margin. Any increases in short-term interest rates result in a greater impact as yields on interest-earning assets are expected to rise faster than the cost of funding sources.

1. Introduction and Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include CSC and its majority-owned subsidiaries (collectively referred to as the Company). Intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. These condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (U.S.), which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the accompanying financial statements. Certain estimates relate to valuation of goodwill, allowance for loan losses, legal and regulatory reserves, and other-than-temporary impairment (OTTI) of securities available for sale and securities held to maturity. Actual results may differ from those estimates. These condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the periods presented. These adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. The Company’s results for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year or any other interim period. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014.

The Company’s significant accounting policies are included in note “2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014. There have been no significant changes to these accounting policies during the first half of 2015.

Principles of Consolidation

The Company accounts for investments in entities for which it owns a voting interest and for which it has the ability to exercise significant influence over operating and financing decisions using the equity method of accounting. Investments in entities for which the Company does not have the ability to exercise significant influence are generally carried at cost. Both equity method and cost method investments are included in other assets.

The Company evaluates its initial and continuing involvement with certain entities to determine if the Company is required to consolidate the entities under the variable interest entity (VIE) model. For interests in entities other than the Company’s sponsored funds, the evaluation is based on a qualitative assessment of whether the Company is the primary beneficiary of the VIE. The primary beneficiary of a VIE has the power to direct the activities of a VIE that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance and the obligation to absorb losses of the VIE that potentially could be significant to the VIE or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that potentially could be significant to the VIE.

The primary beneficiary determination for the Company’s sponsored funds is based on a quantitative assessment of whether the Company would absorb a majority of the VIE’s expected losses, receive a majority of the VIE’s expected residual returns, or both. Based upon the Company’s assessments, we have determined we are not the primary beneficiary of and, therefore, are not required to consolidate any VIEs.

2. New Accounting Standards

Adoption of New Accounting Standard

In January 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued new guidance for creditors of consumer mortgage loans, which was effective January 1, 2015. The guidance clarifies when physical possession of a property underlying a consumer mortgage loan transfers to the creditor, and therefore when a loan receivable should be derecognized and the real estate property underlying the loan should be recognized. The adoption of this new guidance in the first quarter of 2015 did not have an impact on the Company’s financial statements or earnings per common share (EPS) as the Company’s practice for recognizing foreclosed real estate was already consistent with the guidance .

New Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted

In May 2014, the FASB issued new guidance on revenue recognit ion, which will become effective January 1, 2018 . The guidance clarifies that revenue from contracts with customers should be recognized in a manner that depicts the timing of the related transfer of goods or performance of services at an amount that reflects the expected consideration . The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this new guidance on its financial statements and EPS.

In February 2015, the FASB issued new guidance that amends the analysis a reporting entity must perform to determine whether it should consolidate certain types of legal entities. The new guidance will become effective January 1, 2016, and is applicable to all entities but provides an exception for reporting entities with interests in legal entities that are required to comply with or operate in accordance with requirements that are similar to those in Rule 2a-7 of the Investment Company Act of 1940 for registered money market funds. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this new guidance on its financial statements and EPS.

In April 2015, the FASB issued new guidance that changes the presentation of debt issuance costs. The new guidance will require debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability to be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. Currently, debt issuance costs are presented as a separate asset. The new guidance , which will become effective January 1, 2016, will not impact the Company’s financial results or EPS as the change only affects the balance sheet presentation of debt issuance costs; recognition and measurement of debt issuance costs will not be affected.

In April 2015, the FASB issued new guidance that clarifies customer’s accounting for fees paid in a cloud computing arrangement. Under the new guidance, if a cloud computing arrangement includes a software license, the customer shall account for the software license element of the arrangement consistent with the acquisition of other software licenses. If the cloud computing arrangement does not include a software license, the customer shall account for the arrangement as a service contract. The guidance will become effective January 1, 2016. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this new guidance on its financial statements and EPS.

There were no loans accruing interest that were contractually 90 days or more past due at June 30, 2015 or December 31, 2014. Nonperforming assets, which include nonaccrual loans and other real estate owned, totaled $39 million and $44 million at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively. Troubled debt restructurings were not material at June 30, 2015 or December 31, 2014.

In addition to monitoring delinquency, the Company monitors the credit quality of residential real estate mortgages and HELOCs by stratifying the portfolios by the year of origination, borrower FICO scores at origination (Origination FICO), updated borrower FICO scores (Updated FICO), loan-to-value (LTV) ratios at origination (Origination LTV), and estimated current LTV ratios (Estimated Current LTV), as presented in the following tables. Borrowers’ FICO scores are provided by an independent third-party credit reporting service and were last updated in June 2015. The Origination LTV and Estimated Current LTV ratios for a HELOC include any first lien mortgage outstanding on the same property at the time of the HELOC’s origination. The Estimated Current LTV for each loan is estimated by reference to a home price appreciation index.

As of June 30, 2015, 48% of the Company’s HELOC and First Mortgage portfolio were concentrated in California. These loans have performed in a manner consistent with the portfolio as a whole.

6 . Commitments and Contingencies

The Company has clients that sell (i.e., write) listed option contracts that are cleared by the Options Clearing Corporation – a clearing house that establishes margin requirements on these transactions. The Company partially satisfies the margin requirements by arranging unsecured standby letter of credit agreements (LOCs), in favor of the Options Clearing Corporation, which are issued by multiple banks. At June 30, 2015 , the aggregate face amount of these LOCs totaled $240 million. There were no funds drawn under any of these LOCs at June 30, 2015. In connection with its securities lending activities, the Company is required to provide collateral to certain brokerage clients. The Company satisfies the collateral requirements by providing cash as collateral .

The Company also provides guarantees to securities clearing houses and exchanges under standard membership agreements, which require members to guarantee the performance of other members. Under the agreements, if another member becomes unable to satisfy its obligations to the clearing houses and exchanges, other members would be required to meet shortfalls. The Company’s liability under these arrangements is not quantifiable and may exceed the cash and securities it has posted as collateral. However, the potential requirement for the Company to make payments under these arrangements is remote. Accordingly, no liability has been recognized for these guarantees.

The Company has recorded a liability of $46 million for unfunded commitments related to investments in qualified affordable housing projects at June 30, 2015, which is included in accrued expenses and other liabilities on the balance sheet. These commitments are expected to be paid during the years from 2015 to 2020 . The Company also recorded a corresponding asset for the funded and unfunded investments in qualified affordable housing projects of $56 million at June 30, 2015, which is included in other assets on the balance sheet.

Legal contingencies: The Company is subject to claims and lawsuits in the ordinary course of business, including arbitrations, class actions and other litigation, some of which include claims for substantial or unspecified damages. The Company is also the subject of inquiries, investigations, and proceedings by regulatory and other governmental agencies.

The Company believes it has strong defenses in all significant matters currently pending and is contesting liability and any damages claimed. Nevertheless, some of these matters may result in adverse judgments or awards, including penalties, injunctions or other relief, and the Company may also determine to settle a matter because of the uncertainty and risks of litigation. Described below are certain matters in which there is a reasonable possibility that a material loss could be incurred or where the matter may otherwise be of significant interest to stockholders. Unless otherwise noted, the Company is unable to provide a reasonable estimate of any potential liability given the stage of proceedings in the matter.

With respect to all other pending matters, based on current information and consultation with counsel, it does not appear reasonably possible that the outcome of any such matter would be material to the financial condition, operating results or cash flows of the Company. However, predicting the outcome of a litigation or regulatory matter is inherently difficult, requiring significant judgment and evaluation of various factors, including the procedural status of the matter and any recent developments; prior experience and the experience of others in similar cases; available defenses, including potential opportunities to dispose of a case on the merits or procedural grounds before trial (e.g., motions to dismiss or for summary judgment); the progress of fact discovery; the opinions of counsel and experts regarding potential damages; potential opportunities for settlement and the status of any settlement discussions; and potential insurance coverage and indemnification. It may not be possible to reasonably estimate potential liability, if any, or a range of potential liability until the matter is closer to resolution – pending, for example, further proceedings, the outcome of key motions or appeals, or

discussions among the parties. Numerous issues may have to be developed, such as discovery of important factual matters and determination of threshold legal issues, which may include novel or unsettled questions of law. Reserves are established or adjusted or further disclosure and estimates of potential loss are provided as the matter progresses and more information becomes available.

Total Bond Market Fund Litigation : On August 28, 2008, a class action lawsuit was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California on behalf of investors in the Schwab Total Bond Market Fund™. The lawsuit, which alleges violations of state law and federal securities law in connection with the fund’s investment policy, names Schwab Investments (registrant and issuer of the fund’s shares) and CSIM as defendants. Allegations include that the fund improperly deviated from its stated investment objectives by investing in collateralized mortgage obligations (CMOs) and investing more than 25 % of fund assets in CMOs and mortgage-backed securities without obtaining a shareholder vote. Plaintiffs seek unspecified compensatory and rescission damages, unspecified equitable and injunctive relief, costs and attorneys’ fees. Plaintiffs’ federal securities law claim and certain of plaintiffs’ state law claims were dismissed. On August 8, 2011, the court dismissed plaintiffs’ remaining claims with prejudice. Plaintiffs appealed to the Ninth Circuit, which issued a ruling on March 9, 2015 reversing the district court’s dismissal of the case and remanding the case for further proceedings . Defendants petitioned for Supreme Court review of the Ninth Circuit decision on July 27, 2015. Concurrently, the case is proceeding in trial court, with plaintiff having filed a fourth amended complaint on June 25, 2015, and defendants filing a motion to dismiss on July 24, 2015.

Other Regulatory Matters : On April 16, 2012, optionsXpress, Inc. was charged by the SEC in an administrative proceeding alleging violations of the firm’s close-out obligations under Regulation SHO (short sale delivery rules) in connection with certain customer trading activity. Following trial, in a decision issued June 7, 2013, the judge held that the firm had violated Regulation SHO and aided and abetted fraudulent trading activity by its customer, and ordered the firm and the customer to pay disgorgement and penalties in an amount which would not be material. The Company continues to dispute the allegations and is appealing the decision .

7. Offsetting Assets and Liabilities

Resale and repurchase agreements: Schwab enters into collateralized resale agreements principally with other broker-dealers, which could result in losses in the event the counterparty fails to purchase the securities held as collateral for the cash advanced and the fair value of the securities declines. To mitigate this risk, Schwab requires that the counterparty deliver securities to a custodian, to be held as collateral, with a fair value in excess of the resale price. Schwab also sets standards for the credit quality of the counterparty, monitors the fair value of the underlying securities as compared to the related receivable, including accrued interest, and requires additional collateral where deemed appropriate. The fair value of collateral received in connection with resale agreements that are available to be repledged or sold was $8.6 billion at June 30, 2015 and $10.4 billion at December 31, 2014. Schwab utilizes the collateral provided under these resale agreements to meet obligations under broker-dealer client protection rules, which place limitations on its ability to access such segregated securities. For Schwab to repledge or sell this collateral, it would be required to deposit cash and/or securities of an equal amount into its segregated reserve bank accounts in order to meet its segregated cash and investment requirement. The Company’s resale agreements are not subject to master netting arrangements.

Securities lending: The Company loans client securities temporarily to other brokers in connection with its securities lending activities and receives cash as collateral for the securities loaned. Increases in security prices may cause the fair value of the securities loaned to exceed the amount of cash received as collateral. In the event the counterparty to these transactions does not return the loaned securities or provide additional cash collateral, the Company may be exposed to the risk of acquiring the securities at prevailing market prices in order to satisfy its client obligations. The Company mitigates this risk by requiring credit approvals for counterparties, monitoring the fair value of securities loaned, and requiring additional cash as collateral when necessary. The fair value of client securities pledged in securities lending transactions to other broker-dealers was $1.6 billion at June 30, 2015 an d $1.3 billion at December 31, 2014. The Company has also pledged a portion of its securities owned in connection with securities lending transactions to other broker-dealers. Additionally, the Company borrows securities from other broker-dealers to fulfill short sales by clients and delivers cash to the lender in exchange for the securities. The fair value of these borrowed securities was $399 million at June 30, 2015 an d $88 million at December 31, 2014. All of the Company’s securities lending transactions are subject to enforceable master netting arrangements with other broker-dealers. However, the Company does not net securities lending transactions and therefore, the Company’s securities loaned and securities borrowed are presented gross in the consolidated balance sheets.

8. Fair Values of Assets and Liabilities

Assets and liabilities recorded at fair value

The Company uses the market and income approaches to determine the fair value of assets and liabilities. When available, the Company uses quoted prices in active markets to measure the fair value of assets and liabilities. When utilizing market data and bid-ask spread, the Company uses the price within the bid-ask spread that best represents fair value. When quoted prices do not exist, the Company uses prices obtained from independent third-party pricing services to measure the fair value of investment assets. The Company generally obtains prices from at least three independent pricing sources for assets recorded at fair value and may obtain up to five prices on assets with higher risk of limited observable information, such as non-agency residential mortgage-backed securities. The Company’s primary independent pricing service provides prices based on observable trades and discounted cash flows that incorporate observable information such as yields for similar types of securities (a benchmark interest rate plus observable spreads) and weighted-average maturity for the same or similar “to-be-issued” securities. The Company compares the prices obtained from its primary independent pricing service to the prices obtained from the additional independent pricing services to determine if the price obtained from the primary independent pricing service is reasonable. The Company does not adjust the prices received from independent third-party pricing services unless such prices are inconsistent with the definition of fair value and result in a material difference in the recorded amounts.

Financial instruments not recorded at fair value

Descriptions of the valuation methodologies and assumptions used to estimate the fair value of financial instruments not recorded at fair value are described below. The Company’s financial instruments not recorded at fair value but for which fair value can be approximated and disclosed include:

Cash and cash equivalents are short-term in nature and accordingly are recorded at amounts that approximate fair value.

Cash and investments segregated and on deposit for regulatory purposes include cash and securities purchased under resale agreements. Securities purchased under resale agreements are short-term in nature and are backed by collateral that both exceeds the carrying value of the resale agreement and is highly liquid in nature. Accordingly, the carrying value approximates fair value.

Receivables from/payables to brokers, dealers, and clearing organizations are recorded at contractual amounts and historically have been settled at those values and are short-term in nature, and therefore approximate fair value.

Receivables from/payables to brokerage clients — net are recorded at contractual amounts and historically have been settled at those values and are short-term in nature, and therefore approximate fair value.

Securities held to maturity – The fair values of securities held to maturity are obtained using an independent third-party pricing service similar to investment assets recorded at fair value as discussed above.

Bank loans – The fair values of the Company’s residential real estate mortgages and HELOCs are estimated based on prices of mortgage-backed securities collateralized by similar types of loans. Personal loans secured by securities are short-term, variable interest rate loans; accordingly, the carrying values of these loans approximate their fair values.

Financial instruments included in other assets primarily consist of cost method investments and Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) stock, whose carrying values approximate their fair values. FHLB stock is recorded at par, which approximates fair value.

Bank deposits have no stated maturity and are recorded at the amount payable on demand as of the balance sheet date. The Company considers the carrying value of these deposits to approximate their fair values.

Financial instruments included in accrued expenses and other liabilities consist of commercial paper, drafts payable and certain amounts due under contractual obligations which are short-term in nature and accordingly are recorded at amounts that approximate fair value.

Long-term debt – Except for the finance lease obligation, the fair values of long-term debt are estimated using indicative, non-binding quotes from independent brokers. The Company validates indicative prices for its debt through comparison to other independent non-binding quotes. The finance lease obligation is recorded at carrying value, which approximates fair value.

For a description of the fair value hierarchy, see “Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014. There were no significant changes in these policies and methodologies during the first half of 2015. The Company did not transfer any assets or liabilities between Level 1 , Level 2 , or Level 3 during the six months ended June 30, 2015 , or the year ended December 31, 2014 . In addition, the Company did not adjust prices received from the primary independent third-party pricing service at June 30, 2015 or December 31, 2014 .

10. Earnings Per Common Share

Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. The computation of diluted EPS is similar to the computation of basic EPS except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if dilutive potential common shares had been issued. Dilutive potential common shares include , if dilutive, the effect of outstanding stock options and unvested restricted stock awards and units. EPS under the basic and diluted computations is as follows:


	Three Months Ended				Six Months Ended
	June 30,				June 30,
	2015		2014		2015		2014

11 . Regulatory Requirements

CSC is a savings and loan holding company and Schwab Bank, CSC’s depository institution subsidiary, is a federal savings bank. CSC is subject to supervision and regulation by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the Federal Reserve). Schwab Bank is subject to supervision and regulation by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (the OCC), as its primary regulator, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, as its deposit insurer, and the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. CSC is required to serve as a source of strength for Schwab Bank. Prior to January 1, 2015, CSC, as a savings and loan holding company, was not subject to certain statutory capital requirements. Beginning on January 1, 2015, CSC became subject to new capital requirements set by the Federal Reserve .

Schwab Bank is subject to regulation and supervision and to various requirements and restrictions under federal and state laws, including regulatory capital guidelines. Among other things, these requirements also restrict and govern the terms of affiliate transactions, such as extensions of credit and repayment of loans between Schwab Bank and CSC or CSC’s other subsidiaries. In addition, Schwab Bank is required to provide notice to and may be required to obtain approval of the OCC and the Federal Reserve to declare dividends to CSC. The federal banking agencies have broad powers to enforce these regulations, including the power to terminate deposit insurance, impose substantial fines and other civil and criminal penalties, and appoint a conservator or receiver. Under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act, Schwab Bank could be subject to restrictive actions if it were to fall within one of the lowest three of five capital categories. CSC and Schwab Bank are required to maintain minimum capital levels as specified in federal banking laws and regulations. Failure to meet the minimum levels could result in certain mandatory and possibly additional discretionary actions by the regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on CSC and Schwab Bank. At June 30, 2015 , CSC and Schwab Bank met the capital level requirements.

The regulatory capital and ratios for CSC and Schwab Bank at June 30, 2015 are as follows:

The Charles Schwab Corporation

Corporate Executive Bonus Plan

(As Amended and Restated as of February 23, 2005)

(Approved by Stockholders on May 19, 2005)

(Amended and Restated December 12, 2007)

(Amended and Restated October 23, 2008)

(Amended and Restated December 9 , 200 9 )

(Approved by Stockholders on May 13 , 20 10 )

(Amended and Restated January 29 , 20 15 )

(Approv ed by Stockholders on May 13 , 20 15 )

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SECTION 1. PURPOSE OF THE PLAN

The Charles Schwab Corporation Corporate Executive Bonus Plan (the "Plan") is established to promote the interests of The Charles Schwab Corporation (the “Corporation”) and its Subsidiaries ( as defined in Section 3 . (b) below and, collectively with the Corporation, the "Company"), by creating an incentive program to (a) attract and retain employees with outstanding competencies who will strive for excellence ; (b) motivate those individuals to exert their best efforts on behalf of the Company by providing them with compensation in addition to their base salaries; and (c) further link the interests of such employees with those of the C orporation 's stockholders through a strong performance-based reward system.

SECTION 2. ADMINISTRATION OF THE PLAN

The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the C orporation (the "Committee") shall administer the Plan. The Committee shall be composed solely of two or more "outside directors" within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.162-27 (or any successor regulation) and shall be appointe d pursuant to the Bylaws of the

C orporation . The members of the Committee shall be ineligible for awards under this Plan for services performed while serving on the Committee. The Committee shall have discretionary authority to interpret the Plan, establish rules and regulations to implement the Plan, and make all determinations deemed necessary or advisable for the administration of the Plan, in its sole discretion. Decisions of the Committee shall be final and binding on all parties who have an interest in the Plan.

SECTION 3. ELIGIBILITY FOR AWARDS

(a) Eligibility Requirements. Awards under the Plan may be granted by the Committee to those Employees holding Executive Vice President or comparable or higher executive-level positions with the Company (each an “eligible Employee”) .

(b) Definition of Employee. For purposes of the Plan, an individual shall be considered an "Employee" if he or she is employed by the Co rporation or other business entity in which the Co rporation shall directly or indirectly own, at the time of determination, stock possessing 50% or more of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock or other ownership interest (each a "Subsidiary"). No award may be granted to a member of the Co rporation ’s Board of Directors except for services performed as an employee of the Company.

SECTION 4. BONUS AWARDS

(a) Form of Awards. Bonus awards under this Plan shall be paid, less applicable withholdings and deductions, in (i) cash and/or (ii) stock and/or stock-based awards granted under The Charles Schwab Corporation 2013 Stock Incentive Plan.

(b) Target Award Amounts. Target award amounts shall be based on a percentage of each eligible Employee’s annual base salary or expressed as a dollar amount for each performance period as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion at the time specified in Section 4.( c)( 1 ) below .

(1) The bonus awards for each eligible Employee shall be determined according to a formula and/or a matrix or matrices that shall be adopted by the Committee not later than 90 days after the commencement of the performance period, i.e., the period of service to which the performance goal relates, and at a time when the outcome of the performance goal is substantially uncertain . Notwithstanding the 90-day deadline specified in the prior sentence, in the event that a performance p eriod is less than 12 months, the Committee shall establish the performance formula an d/or performance matrix or matrices on or before the date when 25 percent of the performance period (as scheduled in good faith at the time the performance goal is established) has elapsed.

(2) The formula or matrix or matrices may be different for each eligible Employee and shall be based on one or more objective performance criteria to be selected by the Committee from among the following performance criteria measured on a pre- tax, post-tax, operating , reported , consolidated , Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”), adjusted GAAP, and/or non-GAAP basis : income; profit; profit margin; revenue; revenue growth; cash flow; stockholder return; net income; client net new assets; levels of client assets or sales (of products, offers or services); earnings per share; return on stockholders’ equity; return on stockholders’ common equity ; return on investment; earnings; earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT); earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA); earnings; net earnings; operating cash flow; free cash flow; free cash flow per share; cash flow return; economic value added; market value added; total stockholder return; stockholder value ; debt/capital ratio; return on total capital; market share of assets; return on assets; return on net assets; return on capital employed; cost control; Corporation common stock price; capital expenditures; price/earnings growth ratio; sales; sales volume; book value per share; cost of capital; cost of equity; and changes between years or periods that are determined with respect to any of the above-listed performance criteria . Performance criteria may be measured solely on a corporate, subsidiary, enterprise or business unit basis, or a combination thereof. Further, performance criteria may reflect absolute entity performance or a relative comparison of entity performance to the performance of a peer group of entities or other external measure of the selected performance criteria.

(3) In determining whether any performance goals have been satisfied, the Committee may exclude any or all extraordinary items (as determined under GAAP, unless otherwise specified by the Committee ), and any other unusual or non-recurring items, including but not limited to, (i) charges , costs , benefits, gains or income associated with reorganizations or restructurings of the Company, discontinued operations , goodwill, other intangible assets, long-lived assets (non-cash), real estate (e.g., costs related to lease terminations or facility closure obligations), litigation or the resolution of litigation (e.g., attorneys’ fees, settlement amounts or judgments), or currency/commodity fluctuations; and (ii) the effec ts of changes in applicable laws, regulations or accounting principles . In addition, the Committee may adjust any performance goal for a year as it deems equitable to recognize unusual or non-recurring events affecting the Company, changes in tax law or accounting procedures, mergers , acquisitions and divestiture s, or any other factors as the Committee may determine. To the extent that a performance goal is based on the Corporation’s common stock, then in the event of any stock dividend, stock split, spin-off, split-off, spin-out, recapitalization or other change in the capital structure of the Co rporation , merger, consolidation, reorganization, combination of shares, partial or complete liquid ation or other distribution of assets (other than a normal cash dividend), issuance of rights or warrants to purchase securities or any other corporate transaction having an effect similar to any of the foregoing, the Committee shall make or provide for such adjustments in performance goals as the Committee in its sole discretion may in good faith determine to be equitably required in order to prevent dilution or enlargement of the rights of eligible Employees . The Committee shall also adjust the terms and conditions of, and the criteria included in, awards in recognition of unusual or nonrecurring events affecting the Company or the

financial statements of the Company or of changes in applicable laws, regulations, or accounting principles, whenever the Committee determines that such adjustments are needed to prevent unintended dilution or enlargement of the benefits or potential benefits intended to be made available under the Plan. The Committee shall only make exclusions and adjustments described in this paragraph when (i) the Committee specifies in writing (not later than the time the perform ance goals are required to be established) which exclusions and adjustment s the Committee will apply to determine whether a performance goal has been satisfied, as well as an objective manner for applying them, and (ii) the Committee determine s that such exclusions and adjustment s may apply without causing the award to fail to qualify as performance-based compensation under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, (the “Code”).

( 4 ) Awards shall be determined by applying the bonus formula to the target award amount of each eligible Employee. Except in the case of the Chief Executive Officer, payouts described in this subsection shall be calculated and paid on the basis of a quarterly or annual performance period, or a combination thereof, as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion. In the case of the Chief Executive Officer, payouts described in this subsection shall be made on an annual basis, based on the Company’s results for the full year. Unless otherwise provided by the Committee, awards that become payable shall be paid not later than 2½ months after the end of the applicable performance period.

(d) Maximum Award Amounts. The maximum award that may be paid to any eligible Employee (other than the Chief Executive Officer) under this Plan for any calendar year shall not exceed $8 million as calculated by the Committee at the end of the performance period. The maximum award that may be paid to the Chief Executive Officer under this Plan for any calendar year shall not exceed $15 million as calculated by the Committee at the end of the performance period. An eligible Employee may only receive one award under this Plan for any calendar year.

(e) Power to Reduce Bonus Amounts. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Plan, the Committee shall have the power, in its sole discretion, to reduce , but not increase , the amount payable to any eligible Employee including the Chief Executive Officer (or to determine that no amount shall be payable to such eligible Employee) with respect to any award prior to the time the amount otherwise would have become payable hereunder. It is expressly permissible to reduce the amount otherwise payable to zero. Such reductions may be based upon the recommendations of the Chief Executive Officer. In the event of such a reduction, the amount of such reduction shall not increase the amounts payable to other eligible Employees under the Plan.

(f) Entitlement to Bonus. No eligible Employee shall earn any portion of a bonus award under the Plan until the last day of the relevant performance period and only if the Committee has approved the bonus award and, to the extent required by section 162(m) of the Code , has certified that the applicable performance criteria have been satisfied.

(g) Termination of Employment and Leaves of Absence. Except in the event of retirement, death, or disability, if an Employee ceases to be employed by the Company for any reason on or before the date when a bonus is earned, then he or she shall not earn or receive payment of such bonus under the Plan. If an eligible Employee is on an unpaid leave of absence for a portion of the relevant performance period, the Committee may award a bonus at the end of the performance period based on the achievement of the performance criteria, and such bonus shall be prorated to reflect only the time when he or she was actively employed and not any period when he or she was on leave , except to the extent the Committee determines in its sole discretion that it will not prorate such bonus . In the event of retirement , death , or disability before the last day of the relevant performance period, the Committee shall have the sole discretion to waive the requirement of being employed on the last day of the relevant performance period and award a bonus at the end of the performance period based on the achievement of the performance criteria. For all purposes of the Plan, “ retirement ” will mean any termination of employment with the Company for any reason other than death at any time after the Employee has attained age 55, but only if, at the time of termination, the Employee has been credited with at least ten (10) Years of Service under the Schwab Plan Retirement Savings and Investment Plan.

( h) Change in Control. T he Committee may, in its sole discretion, provide that a n eligible Employee shall be eligible for a full or prorated a ward in the event of a change in control of the Co rporation. In the Committee’s sole discretion, any such full or prorated a ward may be paid under the provisions of this Section 4 . ( h ) prior to when the applicable performance t arget is certified (or without regard to whether it is certified).

SECTION 5. PAYMENT OF BONUS AWARDS

Bonus awards that are earned and payable shall be paid to each eligible Employee on or after January 1 st and on or before March 15 th of the calendar year immediately following the end of the Corporation’s fiscal year on which the award is based, regardless of whether the individual has remained in Employee status through the date of payment.

SECTION 6. GENERAL PROVISIONS

(a) Plan Amendments. The Board of Directors of the C orporation or the Committee may at any time amend, suspend or terminate the Plan, provided that it must do so in a written resolution and such action shall not adversely affect rights and interests of eligible Employees to individual bonus awards granted to such amendment, suspension or termination. Stockholder approval shall be obtained for any amendment to the extent necessary and desirable to qualify the awards hereunder as performance-based compensation under section 162(m) of the Code and to comply with applicable laws, regulations or rules.

(b) Benefits Unfunded. No amounts awarded or accrued under this Plan shall be funded, set aside or otherwise segregated prior to payment. The obligation to pay the bonuses awarded hereunder shall at all times be an unfunded and unsecured obligation of

the Company. Eligible Employees shall have the status of general creditors and shall look solely to the general assets of the Company for the payment of their bonus awards.

(c) Benefits Nontransferable. No eligible Employee shall have the right to alienate, pledge or encumber his or her interest in this Plan, and such interest shall not (to the extent permitted by law) be subject in any way to the claims of the Employee's creditors or to attachment, execution or other process of law. In the event of the death of a n eligible Employee, the payment , if any, shall be made to the persons identified in the applicable beneficiary designation form. In the event there is no applicable beneficiary designation form, the payment , if any, shall be made to the executor or administrator of the estate of the deceased eligible Employee .

(d) No Employment Rights. No action of the Company in establishing the Plan, no action taken under the Plan by the Committee and no provision of the Plan itself shall be construed to grant any person the right to remain in the employ of the Company for any period of specific duration. Rather, each Employee will be employed "at will," which means that either such Employee or the Company may terminate the employment relationship at any time and for any reason, with or without cause or notice. Only the Chief Executive Officer has the authority to enter into an agreement on any other terms, and he or she can only do so in a writing signed by him or her. No Employee shall have the right to any future award under the Plan.

(e) Exclusive Agreement. This Plan document is the full and complete agreement between the eligible Employees and the Company on the terms described herein.

(f) Governing Law. The Plan and any actions taken in connection herewith shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the state of Delaware (without regard to applicable Delaware principles of conflict of laws).

( g ) Section 162(m) of the Code. The Plan will be interpreted and administered in a manner that will qualify bonus a wards as performance-based compensation under section 162(m) of the Code , except when the Committee determines such compliance is not necessary or desirable. In the event that changes are made to s ection 162(m) of the Code that permit greater flexibility with respect to bonus a wards made und er the Plan, the Committee may mak e related adjustment s that it deems appropriate.

( h ) S ection 409A of the Code. Payments under the Plan are intended to qualify as short-term deferrals exempt from the requirements of s ection 409A of the Code. T o the extent that any payment under this Plan does not qualify for exemption from s ection 409A of the Code , the Co mpany intends for such payment to comply with the requirements of s ection 409A and the Department of Treasury rulings and regulations thereunder (collectively, “Section 409A”) . Accordingly, to the extent applicable, this Plan shall at all times be interpreted and operated in accordance with the requirements of Section 409A.

2. THE CREDIT FACILITY .

2.1 The Revolving Credit Facility Each Lender severally agrees, on the terms and conditions set forth herein, to make loans to the Borrower (each such loan, a " Revolving Loan ") from time to time on any Business Day during the period from the Closing Date to the Revolving Termination Date, in an aggregate amount not to exceed at any time outstanding, together with the principal amount of Term Loans outstanding in favor of such Lender at such time, the amount set forth next to such Lender's name on Schedule 1 (such amount together with the Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Term Commitment, as the same may be reduced under Section 2.10 or as a result of one or more assignments under Section 10.8 , the Lender’s " Commitment "); provided , however , that, after giving effect to any Borrowing of Revolving Loans, the Effective Amount of all outstanding Revolving Loans shall not at any time exceed the combined Commitments; and provided further that the Effective Amount of the Revolving Loans, together with all Term Loans outstanding at such time, of any Lender shall not at any time exceed such Lender’s Commitment. Within the limits of each Lender’s Commitment, and subject to the other terms and conditions hereof, the Borrower may borrow under this Section 2.1 , prepay under Section 3.3 and reborrow under this Section 2.1 .

2.2 Term Loan Facility . Each Lender severally agrees, on the terms and conditions set forth herein, to make Loans to the Borrower during the period from the Closing Date to June 3, 2016, in an aggregate amount not to exceed such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Term Commitment. The Borrower from time to time may borrow under the Term Loan Facility (and may reborrow any amount theretofore prepaid) until close of business on June 3, 2016, for a term not to exceed 364 days from the date of the Borrowing. Each such loan under the Term Loan Facility (a " Term Loan ") shall be in the minimum amount of $10,000,000 and shall become due and payable on the last day of the term selected by the Borrower for such Term Loan (the " Term Loan Maturity Date "), which shall in no event be later than 364 days from the date of such Term Loan. The maximum availability under the Term Loan Facility shall be the amount of the Credit


NYDOCS01/1613908	13

minus the aggregate outstanding principal amount of Revolving Loans and Term Loans made by the Lenders; provided , however , that to the extent the proceeds of a Term Loan are used to repay an outstanding Revolving Loan (or a portion thereof), such Revolving Loan (or portion thereof) shall not be considered part of the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Revolving Loans made by the Lenders for purposes of this sentence (such maximum availability hereafter being referred to as the " Term Loan Availability "). Under no circumstances shall the aggregate outstanding principal amount of Term Loans and Revolving Loans made by the Lenders exceed the Credit, and under no circumstances shall any Lender be obligated (i) to make any Term Loan (nor may the Borrower reborrow any amount heretofore prepaid) after June 3, 2016, or (ii) to make any Term Loan in excess of the Term Loan Availability. Each Term Loan made hereunder shall fully and finally mature and be due and payable in full on the Term Loan Maturity Date specified in the Borrowing Advice for such Term Loan; provided , however , that to the extent the Borrowing Advice for any Term Loan selects an Interest Period that expires before the Term Loan Maturity Date specified in such Borrowing Advice, the Borrower may from time to time select additional interest rate options and Interest Periods (none of which shall extend beyond the Term Loan Maturity Date for such Term Loan) by delivering a Borrowing Advice or Notice of Conversion/Continuation, as applicable.

2.3 Evidence of Borrowing/Promissory Notes . The obligation of the Borrower to repay the aggregate unpaid principal amount of the Revolving Loans and Term Loans shall be evidenced by promissory notes of the Borrower (respectively the " Revolving Note and the Term Note ") in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibits A-1 and A-2, with the blanks appropriately completed, payable to the order of each Lender in the principal amount of its Commitment, bearing interest as hereinafter specified. Each Revolving Note and Term Note shall be dated, and shall be delivered to each Lender, on the date of the execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Borrower. Each Lender shall, and is hereby authorized by the Borrower to, endorse on the schedule contained on the Revolving Note and Term Note, or on a continuation of such schedule attached thereto and made a part thereof, appropriate notations regarding the Revolving Loans and Term Loans evidenced by such Note as specifically provided therein and such Lender’s record shall be conclusive absent manifest error; provided , however , that the failure to make, or error in making, any such notation shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligations of the Borrower hereunder or under the Revolving Note and Term Note. The Agent, by notice to the Borrower (to be given not later than two Business Days prior to the initial Borrowing or Term Loan hereunder) may request that Revolving Loans or Term Loans made hereunder for which the interest calculation is to be based on the Eurodollar Rate be evidenced by separate Revolving Notes (in the case of Revolving Loans) and Term Notes (in the case of Term Loans), substantially in the form of Exhibit A-1 hereto (in the case of Revolving Loans) and Exhibit A-2 hereto (in the case of Term Loans), payable to the order of each Lender for the account of its office, branch or affiliate it may designate as its Lending Office.

2.4 Making of Revolving Loans and Term Loans, Borrowings; Interest Periods; Notice .

(a) Each Borrowing of Revolving Loans or Term Loans shall be made upon Borrower’s irrevocable written notice delivered to the Agent in the form of a Borrowing Advice (which notice must be received by the Agent prior to 10:00 a.m. San Francisco time for a Eurodollar Rate Loan, and prior to 11:00 a.m. San Francisco time for a Base Rate Loan) (i) the


NYDOCS01/1613908	14

same Business Day as the requested Borrowing Date in the case of Base Rate Loans to be made on such Business Day, or (ii) three Business Days prior to the requested Borrowing Date in the case of Eurodollar Rate Loans, with each Borrowing Advice setting forth the following information:

(A) the requested Borrowing Date, which shall be a Business Day, on which such Revolving Loan or Term Loan is to be made;

(B) for a Eurodollar Rate Loan, the duration of the Interest Period selected in accordance with Section 2.6 hereof (if the Borrowing Advice fails to specify the duration of the Interest Period for any Borrowing comprised of a Eurodollar Rate Loan, such Interest Period shall be three months);

(C) the Type of Loans comprising the Borrowing and the interest rate option selected in accordance with Section 2.7 hereof; and

(D) the aggregate principal amount of the Revolving Loan or Term Loan (which shall be in an aggregate minimum amount of $10,000,000) to which such Interest Period and interest rate shall apply.

(b) The Agent will promptly notify each Lender of its receipt of any Borrowing Advice and of the amount of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of that Borrowing.

(c) Each Lender will make the amount of its Pro Rata Share of each Borrowing available to the Agent for the account of the Borrower at the Agent’s Payment Office by 1:00 p.m. San Francisco time on the Borrowing Date requested by the Borrower in funds immediately available to the Agent. Each Loan to the Borrower under this Agreement shall be made by 1:30 p.m. (San Francisco time) on the date of the Requested Borrowing Date, and shall be in immediately available funds (in the aggregate amount made available to the Agent by the Lenders) wired to the Borrower’s account at Citibank, N.A. or such other account as may be designated by the Borrower in writing.

(d) After giving effect to any Borrowing, there may not be more than ten (10) different Interest Periods in effect.

With respect to any Borrowing having an Interest Period ending on or before June 3, 2016, if prior to the last day of the Interest Period for such Borrowing the Borrower fails timely to provide a Notice of Conversion/Continuation in accordance with Section 2.5 , such Borrowing shall, on the last day of the then-existing Interest Period for such Borrowing, automatically convert into a Base Rate Loan. In the event of any such automatic conversion, the Borrower on the date of such conversion shall be deemed to make a representation and warranty to the Lenders that, to the best of the Borrower’s knowledge, (i) neither the Borrower nor any Bank Subsidiary is in violation of the capital requirements as described in Section 6.6 , (ii) the Broker Subsidiary is not in violation of minimum net capital requirements as described in Section 7.1 , (iii) the Borrower’s Consolidated Stockholders' Equity is not below the Minimum Stockholders' Equity as described in Section 7.2 , and (iv) no amount owing with respect to any Commitment


NYDOCS01/1613908	15

Fee, any outstanding Borrowing, or any interest thereon, or any other amount hereunder, is due and unpaid. If prior to the last day of the Interest Period applicable to any Term Loan the Borrower fails timely to provide a Notice of Conversion/Continuation in accordance with Section 2.5 , such Term Loan shall, on the last day of the then-existing Interest Period for such Term Loan, automatically convert into a Base Rate Loan.

2.5 Conversion and Continuation Elections .

(a) The Borrower may, upon irrevocable written notice to the Agent in accordance with this Section 2.5 :

(i) elect, as of any Business Day, in the case of Base Rate Loans, or as of the last day of the applicable Interest Period, in the case of any other Type of Loan, to convert any such Loan (or any part thereof in an amount not less than $10,000,000), into Loans of any other Type; or

(ii) elect as of the last day of the applicable Interest Period, to continue any Loans having Interest Periods expiring on such day (or any part thereof in an amount not less than $10,000,000);

provided , that if at any time the aggregate amount of Eurodollar Rate Loans in respect of any Borrowing is reduced, by payment, prepayment, or conversion of part thereof to be less than $10,000,000, such Eurodollar Rate Loans shall automatically convert into Base Rate Loans.

(b) The Borrower shall deliver a Notice of Conversion/Continuation to be received by the Agent not later than 10:00 a.m. San Francisco time for a Eurodollar Rate Loan, and not later than 11:00 a.m. San Francisco time for a Base Rate Loan, at least (i) three Business Days in advance of the Conversion/Continuation Date, as to any Loan that is to be converted into or continued as a Eurodollar Rate Loan; and (ii) the same Business Day as the Conversion/Continuation Date, as to any Loan that is to be converted into a Base Rate Loan, specifying:

(A) the proposed Conversion/Continuation Date;

(B) the aggregate amount of the Loan or Loans to be converted or renewed;

(D) other than in the case of conversions into Base Rate Loans, the duration of the requested Interest Period.

(c) If upon the expiration of any Interest Period applicable to Eurodollar Rate Loans, the Borrower has failed to select timely a new Interest Period to be applicable to such Eurodollar Rate Loans, or if any Default or Event of Default then exists, the


NYDOCS01/1613908	16

Borrower shall be deemed to have elected to convert such Eurodollar Rate Loans into Base Rate Loans effective as of the expiration date of such Interest Period.

(d) The Agent will promptly notify each Lender of its receipt of a Notice of Conversion/Continuation, or, if no timely notice is provided by the Borrower, the Agent will promptly notify each Lender of the details of any automatic conversion. All conversions and continuations shall be made ratably according to the respective outstanding principal amounts of the Loans with respect to which the notice was given as held by each Lender.

(e) Unless the Required Lenders otherwise agree, during the existence of a Default or Event of Default, the Borrower may not elect to have a Loan converted into or continued as a Eurodollar Rate Loan.

(f) After giving effect to any conversion or continuation of Loans, there may not be more than ten (10) different Interest Periods in effect.

2.6 Interest Periods . The Borrower may select for any Eurodollar Rate Loan the Interest Period (as defined in the next sentence) for each Borrowing, it being understood that the Borrower may request multiple Borrowings on the same day and may select a different Interest Period for each such Borrowing. An Interest Period shall be each period, as selected by the Borrower in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, beginning on the Borrowing Date of any Eurodollar Rate Loan, or on the Conversion/Continuation Date on which any Loan is converted into or continued as a Eurodollar Rate Loan, and ending on the date specified by the Borrower that is one, two, three or six months thereafter; provided that whenever the first day of any Interest Period occurs on a day of an initial calendar month for which there is no numerically corresponding day in the calendar month that succeeds such initial calendar month by the number of months equal to the number of months in such Interest Period, such Interest Period shall end on the last Business Day of such succeeding calendar month; and provided further that if the last day of an Interest Period would be a day that is not a Business Day, such Interest Period shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, unless such next succeeding Business Day is in a different calendar month, in which case such interest period shall end on the next preceding Business Day; but provided , however , that (i) no Interest Period applicable to any Revolving Loan shall extend beyond the Revolving Termination Date; and (ii) no Interest Period applicable to any Term Loan shall extend beyond the Term Loan Maturity Date specified in the Borrowing Advice for such Term Loan, which in no event shall be later than June 2, 2017 .

2.7 Interest Rates .

(a) (i) Each Revolving Loan, while outstanding, shall bear interest from the applicable Borrowing Date at a rate per annum equal to the Eurodollar Rate or the Base Rate, as the case may be, (and subject to the Borrower’s right to convert to other Types of Loans under Section 2.5 ) plus the Applicable Margin.

(ii) Each Term Loan, while outstanding, shall bear interest from the applicable Borrowing Date at a rate per annum equal to the Eurodollar Rate or the Base


NYDOCS01/1613908	17

Rate, as the case may be, (and subject to the Borrower’s right to convert to other Types of Loans under Section 2.5 ) plus the Applicable Margin.

(b) Interest on each Revolving Loan and Term Loan shall be paid in arrears on each Interest Payment Date. Interest shall also be paid on the date of any prepayment of Loans under Section 3.3 for the portion of the Loan so prepaid and upon payment (including prepayment) in full thereof, and, during the existence of any Event of Default interest shall be paid on demand of the Agent at the request or with the consent of the Required Lenders.

(c) After the principal amount of any Revolving Loan or Term Loan, accrued interest upon such Loan, the commitment fee, or any other amount hereunder shall have become due and payable by acceleration, or otherwise, it shall thereafter (until paid) bear interest, payable on demand, (i) until the end of the Interest Period with respect to such Loan at a rate per annum equal to 2% per annum in excess of the rate or rates in effect with respect to such Loan, and (ii) thereafter, at a rate per annum equal to 2% per annum in excess of the Base Rate.

2.8 Substitute Rates . If upon receipt by the Agent of a Borrowing Advice relating to any Borrowing or of a Notice of Conversion/Continuation:

(a) the Agent shall determine that by reason of changes affecting the London interbank market, adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the applicable Eurodollar Rate with respect to any Interest Period; or

(b) the Agent shall determine that by reason of any change since the date hereof in any applicable law or governmental regulation (other than any such change in the regulations described in the definition of Eurodollar Rate Reserve Percentage in Section 1 hereof), guideline or order (or any interpretation thereof), the adoption or enactment of any new law or governmental regulation or order or any other circumstance affecting the Lenders or the London interbank market, the Eurodollar Rate shall no longer represent the effective cost to the Lenders of U.S. dollar deposits in the relevant amount and for the relevant period; or

(c) Agent shall determine that, as a result of any change since the date hereof in any applicable law or governmental regulation or as a result of the adoption of any new applicable law or governmental regulation, the applicable Eurodollar Rate would be unlawful; or

(d) the applicable Reuters screen (or any successor page of such service, or any successor or substitute for such service, as provided in the definition herein for Eurodollar Base Rate) is unavailable and fewer than two Reference Banks furnish timely information to the Agent for determining the Eurodollar Base Rate for any Eurodollar Rate Loans, after the Agent has requested such information;

then, the Agent will promptly so notify the Borrower and each Lender, whereupon, the obligation of the Lenders to make or maintain Eurodollar Rate Loans hereunder shall be suspended until the Agent upon the instruction of the Required Lenders revokes such notice in writing. Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrower may revoke any Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion/Continuation then submitted by it and, at its election, submit a Borrowing Advice or Notice of Conversion/Continuation selecting another Type of Loan. If the Borrower


NYDOCS01/1613908	18

does not revoke such Notice or give a Notice as provided herein, the Lenders shall make, convert or continue the Loans, as proposed by the Borrower in the amount specified in the applicable notice submitted by the Borrower, but such Loans shall be made, converted or continued as Base Rate Loans instead of Eurodollar Rate Loans.

2.9 Fees .

(a) Arrangement, Agency Fees . The Borrower shall pay an arrangement fee to the Arrangers for their respective accounts, and shall pay an agency fee to the Agent for the Agent’s account, as required by the separate letter agreements (" Fee Letters ") between the Borrower and each of the Arrangers and between the Borrower and the Agent, each dated May 4, 2015.

(b) Commitment Fee . The Borrower shall pay to the Agent for the account of each Lender a commitment fee (the " Commitment Fee ") on the actual daily unused portion of such Lender’s Commitment computed on a quarterly basis in arrears on the last Business Day of each quarter based upon the daily utilization for that quarter as calculated by the Agent, equal to seven one hundredths of one percent (0.07%) per annum. For purposes of calculating utilization under this subsection, the Commitments shall be deemed used to the extent of the Effective Amount of Revolving Loans and Term Loans then outstanding. Such Commitment Fee shall accrue from the Closing Date to the Revolving Termination Date and shall be due and payable quarterly in arrears on the last Business Day of each quarter commencing on the quarter ending June 30, 2015 through the Revolving Termination Date, with the final payment to be made on the Revolving Termination Date; provided that, in connection with any reduction or termination of Commitments under Section 2.10 , the accrued commitment fee calculated for the period ending on such date shall also be paid on the date of such reduction or termination, with the following quarterly payment being calculated on the basis of the period from such reduction or termination date to such quarterly payment date.

(c) Term Loan Fee . The Borrower shall pay to the Agent for the account of each Lender a term loan fee (the " Term Out Fee ") equal to one percent (1.00%) of the aggregate principal amount of all Term Loans outstanding on June 3, 2016, payable on such date.

2.10 Reduction of Credit . The Borrower, from time to time, upon at least three (3) Business Days’ written notice to the Agent, may terminate the commitments, or permanently reduce the Commitments by an aggregate minimum amount of $10,000,000, without penalty or premium; unless after giving effect thereto and to any prepayments of Loans made on the effective date thereof, the Effective Amount of all Revolving Loans and Term Loans together would exceed the amount of the combined Commitments then in effect. Once reduced in accordance with this Section, the Commitments may not be increased. Any reduction of the Commitments shall be applied to each Lender’s Commitment according to its Pro Rata Share. All accrued Commitment Fees to, but not including, the effective date of any reduction or termination of Commitments, shall be paid on the effective date of such reduction or termination. During the continuation of the Credit, the computation of the Commitment Fee and the Lenders’ obligations to make Revolving Loans or Term Loans shall be based upon such reduced Commitments. In the event the Credit shall be reduced to zero pursuant to this Section, the


NYDOCS01/1613908	19

Credit shall be deemed terminated, and any Commitment Fee or any other amount payable hereunder then accrued shall become immediately payable. Such termination of the Credit shall terminate the Borrower’s obligations with respect to the Commitment Fee to the extent not theretofore accrued and shall terminate the Lenders’ obligations to make any further Revolving Loans or Term Loans under this Agreement.

2.11 Termination Date; Extensions . The termination date of each Lender’s Commitment with respect to the Credit (the " Termination Date "), including both the Revolving Credit Facility under Section 2.1 hereof and the Term Loan Facility under Section 2.2 hereof, is initially June 3, 2016. At any time no earlier than forty-five (45) days and no later than thirty (30) days prior to the Termination Date then in effect (whether the initial Termination Date of June 3, 2016 or any later Termination Date as extended under this Section 2.11 ), the Borrower may, by written notice to the Agent in the form attached as Exhibit D hereto, request that the Termination Date be extended for a period of 364 calendar days. Such request shall be irrevocable and binding upon the Borrower. In no event will any Lender agree to approve any extension more than thirty (30) days before the Termination Date then in effect. Failure of any Lender to respond shall mean that such Lender has not approved such extension. If each Lender (in its sole discretion) agrees to so extend its Commitment and the Termination Date (which agreement may be given or withheld in such Lender's sole and absolute discretion), the Agent shall evidence such agreement by executing and returning to the Borrower a copy of the Borrower’s written request no later than fifteen (15) days after the Agent’s receipt of the Borrower’s written request. If the Agent fails to so respond to and accept the Borrower’s request for extension of the Termination Date then in effect, the Lenders’ Commitments shall be terminated on the Termination Date then in effect. If, on the other hand, the Agent so responds to and accepts the Borrower’s request for extension of the Termination Date, then upon receipt by the Borrower of a copy of the Borrower’s written request countersigned by the Agent, (i) the Lenders’ Commitments then in effect and the Termination Date then in effect shall automatically be extended for the 364-day period specified in such written request, and (ii) each reference in this Agreement to "June 3, 2016", and "June 2, 2017" (and any prior extension thereof pursuant to this Section 2.11 ) also shall automatically be correspondingly extended for 364 days.

2.12 Payments by the Lenders to the Agent .

(a) Unless the Agent receives notice from a Lender on or prior to the Closing Date or, with respect to any Borrowing after the Closing Date, at least one Business Day before the date of such Borrowing in the case of a Eurodollar Rate Loan, or, in the case of a Base Rate Loan, prior to noon (12:00) San Francisco time on the date of such Borrowing, that such Lender will not make available as and when required hereunder to the Agent for the account of the Company the amount of that Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Borrowing, the Agent may assume that each Lender has made such amount available to the Agent in immediately available funds on the Borrowing Date and the Agent may (but shall not be so required), in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower on such date a corresponding amount. If and to the extent any Lender shall not have made its full amount available to the Agent in immediately available funds and the Agent in such circumstances has made a corresponding amount available to the Borrower such Lender shall on the Business Day following such Borrowing Date make such amount available to the Agent, together with interest at the Federal


NYDOCS01/1613908	20

Funds Rate for each day during such period. A notice of the Agent submitted to any Lender with respect to amounts owing under this subsection (a) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error. If such amount is so made available, such payment to the Agent shall constitute such Lender’s Loan on the date of Borrowing for all purposes of this Agreement. If such amount is not made available to the Agent on the Business Day following the Borrowing Date, the Agent will notify the Borrower of such failure to fund and, upon demand by the Agent, the Borrower shall pay such amount to the Agent for the Agent’s account, together with interest thereon for each day elapsed since the date of such Borrowing, at a rate per annum equal to the interest rate applicable at the time to the Loans comprising such Borrowing.

(b) The failure of any Lender to make any Loan on any Borrowing Date shall not relieve any other Lender of any obligation hereunder to make a Loan on such Borrowing Date, but no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make the Loan to be made by such other Lender on any Borrowing Date.

2.13 Sharing of Payments, Etc. . If, other than as expressly provided elsewhere herein, any Lender shall obtain on account of the Loans made by it any payment (whether voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of any right of set-off, or otherwise) in excess of its Pro Rata Share, such Lender shall immediately (a) notify the Agent of such fact, and (b) purchase from the other Lenders such participation in the Loans made by them as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Lender to share the excess payment pro rata with each of them; provided , however , (a) that if all or any portion of such excess payment is thereafter recovered from the purchasing Lender, such purchase shall to that extent be rescinded and each other Lender shall repay to the purchasing Lender the purchase price paid therefor, together with an amount equal to such paying Lender’s ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such paying Lender’s required repayment to (ii) the total amount so recovered from the purchasing Lender) of any interest or other amount paid or payable by the purchasing Lender in respect of the total amount so recovered and (b) the provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed to apply to (x) any payment made by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement (including the application of funds arising from the existence of a Defaulting Lender), or (y) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans to any assignee or participant, other than to the Borrower or any Subsidiary thereof (as to which the provisions of this paragraph shall apply). The Borrower agrees that any Lender so purchasing a participation from another Lender may, to the fullest extent permitted by law, exercise all its rights of payment (including the right of set-off, but subject to Section 10.5) with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were the direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation. The Agent will keep records (which shall be conclusive and binding in the absence of manifest error) of participation purchased under this Section and will in each case notify the Lenders following any such purchase or repayment.

2.14 Computation of Fees and Interest .

(a) All computations of interest for Base Rate Loans when the Base Rate is determined by Citibank N.A.'s "Base Rate" shall be made on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and actual days elapsed. All other computations of interest, and all


NYDOCS01/1613908	21

computation of fees under subsection 2.9(b) and (c) shall be made on the basis of a 360-day year and actual days elapsed. Interest and such fees shall accrue during each period during which interest or such fees are computed from and including the first day thereof to and excluding the last day thereof.

(b) Each Reference Bank may, if requested by the Agent, furnish to the Agent timely information for the purpose of determining each Eurodollar Base Rate. If any one or more of the Reference Banks shall not furnish such timely information to the Agent for the purpose of determining any such interest rate, the Agent shall determine such interest rate on the basis of timely information furnished by the remaining Reference Banks , subject to the provisions of Section 2.8. The Agent shall give prompt notice to the Borrower and the Lenders of the applicable interest rate determined by the Agent for purposes of Section 2.7(a) (it being understood that the Agent shall not be required to disclose to any party hereto (other than the Borrower) any information regarding any Reference Bank or any rate provided by such Reference Bank in accordance with this subsection, including, without limitation, whether a Reference Bank has provided a rate or the rate provided by any individual Reference Bank ).

2.15 Defaulting Lenders .

(a) Defaulting Lender Adjustments . Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, until such time as such Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, to the extent permitted by applicable law:

(i) Waivers and Amendments . Such Defaulting Lender’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in the definition of Required Lenders.

(ii) Defaulting Lender Waterfall .

(b) If a Lender determines that it is unlawful to maintain any Eurodollar Rate Loan, the Borrower shall, upon its receipt of notice of such fact and demand from such Lender (with a copy to the Agent), prepay in full such Eurodollar Rate Loans of that Lender then outstanding, together with interest accrued thereon and amounts required under Section 3.7 , either on the last day of the Interest Period thereof, if the Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such Eurodollar Rate Loans to such day, or immediately, if the Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such Eurodollar Rate Loan.

(d) Before giving any notice to the Agent under this Section, the affected Lender shall designate a different Lending Office with respect to its Eurodollar Rate Loans if such designation will avoid the need for giving such notice or making such demand and will not, in the judgment of the Lender, be illegal or otherwise disadvantageous to the Lender.

(b) If any Lender shall have determined that (i) the introduction of any Capital Adequacy Regulation, (ii) any change in any Capital Adequacy Regulation, (iii) any change in the interpretation or administration of any Capital Adequacy Regulation by any central


NYDOCS01/1613908	25

bank or other Governmental Authority charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or (iv) compliance by the Lender (or its Lending Office) or any corporation controlling the Lender with any Capital Adequacy Regulation, affects or would affect the amount of capital or liquidity required or expected to be maintained by the Lender or any corporation controlling the Lender and determines that the amount of such capital or liquidity is increased as a consequence of its Commitment, Loans, credits or obligations under this Agreement then, upon demand of such Lender to the Borrower through the Agent, the Borrower shall pay to the Lender, from time to time as specified by the Lender, additional amounts sufficient to compensate the Lender for the cost of such increase.

For purposes of calculating amounts payable by the Borrower to the Lenders under this Section and under subsection 3.6(a) , each Eurodollar Rate Loan made by a Lender and each related reserve, special deposit or similar requirement shall be conclusively deemed to have been funded at the LIBO-based rate used in determining the Eurodollar Rate for such Eurodollar Rate Loan by a matching deposit or other borrowing in the interbank eurodollar market for a comparable amount and for a comparable period, whether or not such Eurodollar Rate Loan is in fact so funded .

3.8 Certificates of Lenders . Any Lender claiming reimbursement or compensation under this Section 3 shall deliver to the Borrower (with a copy to the Agent) a certificate setting forth in reasonable detail the amount payable to the Lender hereunder and such certificate shall be conclusive and binding on the Borrower in the absence of manifest error.

9.5 Notice of Default . The Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default, except with respect to defaults in the payment of principal, interest and fees required to be paid to the Agent for the account of the Lenders, unless the Agent shall have received written notice from a Lender or the Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a "notice of default". The Agent will notify the Lenders of its receipt of any such notice. The Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as may be requested by the Required Lenders in accordance with Section 8 ; provided , however , that unless and until the Agent has received any such request, the Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default or Event of Default as it shall deem advisable or in the best interest of the Lenders.

9.6 Credit Decision . Each Lender acknowledges that none of the Agent-Related Persons has made any representation or warranty to it and that no act by the Agent hereinafter taken, including any review of the affairs of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by any Agent-Related Person to any Lender. Each Lender represents to the Agent that it has, independently and without reliance upon any Agent-Related Person and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of, and investigation into, the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, and all applicable bank regulatory laws relating to the transactions contemplated hereby, and made its own decision to enter into this Agreement and to extend credit to the Borrower hereunder. Each Lender also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon any Agent-Related Person and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and to make such investigations as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Borrower. Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly herein required to be furnished to the Lenders by the Agent, the Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition or creditworthiness of the Borrower which may come into the possession of any of the Agent-Related Persons.

9.7 Indemnification of Agent . Whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, the Lenders shall indemnify upon demand the Agent-Related Persons (to the extent not reimbursed by or on behalf of the Borrower and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so), pro rata, from and against any and all Indemnified Liabilities; provided , however , that no Lender shall be liable for the payment to the Agent-Related Persons of any portion of such Indemnified Liabilities resulting solely from any such Person's gross negligence or willful misconduct. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender shall reimburse the Agent upon demand for its ratable share, of any costs or out-of-pocket expenses (including Attorney Costs) incurred by the Agent in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery,


NYDOCS01/1613908	38

administration, modification, amendment or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of rights or responsibilities under, this Agreement, any other Loan Document, or any document contemplated by or referred to herein to the extent that the Agent is not reimbursed for such expenses by or on behalf of the Borrower. The undertaking in this Section shall survive the payment of all Obligations hereunder and the resignation or replacement of the Agent.

9.8 Agent in Individual Capacity . Citibank and its Affiliates may make loans to, issue letters of credit for the account of, accept deposits from, acquire equity interests in and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust, financial advisory, underwriting or other business with the Borrower and its Subsidiaries and Affiliates as though Citibank were not the Agent hereunder and without notice to or consent of the Lenders. The Lenders acknowledge that, pursuant to such activities, Citibank or its Affiliates may receive information regarding the Borrower or its Affiliates (including information that may be subject to confidentiality obligations in favor of the Borrower or such Subsidiary) and acknowledge that the Agent shall be under no obligation to provide such information to them. With respect to its Loans, Citibank shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Agent.

9.9 Successor Agent . The Agent may, and at the request of the Required Lenders shall, resign as Agent upon 30 days' notice to the Lenders and Borrower. If the Agent resigns under this Agreement, the Required Lenders, with the consent of the Borrower, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, shall appoint from among the Lenders a successor agent for the Lenders which successor agent shall be approved by the Borrower. If no successor agent is appointed prior to the effective date of the resignation of the Agent, the Agent with the consent of the Borrower, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, may appoint, after consulting with the Lenders and the Borrower, a successor agent from among the Lenders. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as successor agent hereunder, such successor agent shall succeed to all the rights, powers and duties of the retiring Agent and the term "Agent" shall mean such successor agent and the retiring Agent's appointment, powers and duties as Agent shall be terminated. After any retiring Agent's resignation hereunder as Agent, the provisions of this Section 9 and Sections 10.4 and 10.5 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Agent under this Agreement. If no successor agent has accepted appointment as Agent by the date which is 30 days following a retiring Agent's notice of resignation, the retiring Agent's resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective and the Lenders shall perform all of the duties of the Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor agent as provided for above. The retiring Agent shall refund to Borrower that portion of any agency fee paid to such Agent as is not earned due to such Agent’s resignation, prorated to the date of such Agent’s resignation.

9.10 Withholding Tax .

(a) If any Lender is a "foreign corporation, partnership or trust" within the meaning of the Code and such Lender claims exemption from, or a reduction of, U.S. withholding tax under Section 1441 or 1442 of the Code, such Lender agrees with and in favor of the Agent, to deliver to the Agent:


NYDOCS01/1613908	39

(i) if such Lender claims an exemption from, or a reduction of, withholding tax under a United States tax treaty, properly completed IRS Form W-8BEN before the payment of any interest in the first calendar year and before the payment of any interest in any subsequent calendar year during which the Form W-8BEN (or any successor thereto) then in effect expires;

(ii) if such Lender claims that interest paid under this Agreement is exempt from United States withholding tax because it is effectively connected with a United States trade or business of such Lender, two properly completed copies of IRS Form W-8ECI or any successor form thereto before the payment of any interest is due in the first taxable year of such Lender and before the payment of any interest in any subsequent calendar year during which the Form W-8ECI (or any successor thereto) then in effect expires; and

(iii) such other form or forms as may be required under the Code or other laws of the United States as a condition to exemption from, or reduction of, United States withholding tax.

Such Lender agrees to promptly notify the Agent of any change in circumstances which would render invalid any claimed exemption or reduction.

(b) If any Lender claims exemption from, or reduction of, withholding tax under a United States tax treaty by providing IRS Form W-8BEN and such Lender sells, assigns, grants a participation in, or otherwise transfers all or part of the Obligations of the Company to such Lender, such Lender agrees to notify the Agent of the percentage amount in which it is no longer the beneficial owner of Obligations of the Company to such Lender. To the extent of such percentage amount, the Agent will treat such Lender's IRS Form W-8BEN or any successor form thereto as no longer valid.

(c) If any Lender claiming exemption from United States withholding tax by filing IRS Form W-8ECI or any successor form thereto with the Agent sells, assigns, grants a participation in, or otherwise transfers all or part of the Obligations of the Company to such Lender, such Lender agrees to undertake sole responsibility for complying with the withholding tax requirements imposed by Sections 1441 and 1442 of the Code.

(d) If any Lender is entitled to a reduction in the applicable withholding tax, the Agent may withhold from any interest payment to such Lender an amount equivalent to the applicable withholding tax after taking into account such reduction. If the forms or other documentation required by subsection (a) of this Section are not delivered to the Agent or if any Lender which is a "foreign corporation, partnership or trust" within the meaning of the Code is not entitled to claim exemption from or a reduction of U.S. withholding tax under Section 1441 or 1442 of the Code, then the Agent shall withhold from any interest payment to such Lender not providing such forms or other documentation an amount equivalent to the applicable withholding tax.


NYDOCS01/1613908	40

(e) If the IRS or any other Governmental Authority of the United States or other jurisdiction asserts a claim that the Agent did not properly withhold tax from amounts paid to or for the account of any Lender (because the appropriate form was not delivered, was not properly executed, or because such Lender failed to notify the Agent of a change in circumstances which rendered the exemption from, or reduction of, withholding tax ineffective, or for any other reason other than the Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct) such Lender shall indemnify the Agent fully for all amounts paid, directly or indirectly, by the Agent as tax or otherwise, including penalties and interest, and including any taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on the amounts payable to the Agent under this Section, together with all costs and expenses (including Attorney Costs). The obligation of the Lenders under this subsection shall survive the payment of all Obligations and the resignation or replacement of the Agent.

9.11 Co-Agents . None of the Lenders identified on the facing page or signature pages of this Agreement as a "co-agent", "managing agent", "syndication agent" or "documentation agent" shall have any right, power, obligation, liability, responsibility or duty under this Agreement other than those applicable to all Lenders as such. Without limiting the foregoing, none of the Lenders so identified as a "co-agent", "syndication agent" or "documentation agent" shall have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any Lender. Each Lender acknowledges that it has not relied, and will not rely, on any of the Lenders so identified in deciding to enter into this Agreement or in taking or not taking action hereunder.

In addition, to the extent the Borrower in its sole discretion so elects and confirms in writing or by e-mail to the Agent, any other written information, documents, instruments or other material relating to the Borrower, any of its Subsidiaries or any other materials or matters relating to this Agreement, the Notes or any of the transactions contemplated hereby and supplied by the Borrower to the Agent (other than any such communication that (i) relates to a request for a new, or a conversion of an existing, Borrowing (including any election of an interest rate or Interest Period relating thereto), (ii) relates to the payment of any principal or other amount due hereunder prior to the scheduled date therefor, (iii) provides notice of any Default or Event of Default or (iv) is required to be delivered to satisfy any condition precedent set forth in Section 4.1 or Section 4.2 ), shall, to the extent of such election and confirmation by the Borrower, constitute materials that are "Communications" for purposes of this subparagraph (d).

Each Lender agrees (i) to notify the Agent in writing of such Lender's e-mail address to which a Notice may be sent by electronic transmission (including by electronic communication) on or before the date such Lender becomes a party to this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter to ensure that the Agent has on record an effective e-mail address for such Lender) and (ii) that any Notice may be sent to such e-mail address.

(f) The Agent agrees to give to each Lender prompt notice of all materials delivered by the Borrower pursuant to Section 6.2 .

No failure to exercise and no delay in exercising, on the part of the Agent or any Lender, any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder, shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege.


NYDOCS01/1613908	43

In connection with any claim, demand, action or cause of action relating to the enforcement, preservation or exercise of any rights or remedies covered by this Section 10.4 against the Borrower, all Lenders shall be represented by the same legal counsel selected by such Lenders; provided , that if such legal counsel determines in good faith that representing all such Lenders would or could result in a conflict of interest under laws or ethical principles applicable to such legal counsel or that a claim is available to a Lender that is not available to all such Lenders, then to the extent reasonably necessary to avoid such a conflict of interest or to permit an unqualified assertion of such a claim, each Lender shall be entitled to separate representation by legal counsel selected by that Lender, with all such legal counsel using reasonable efforts to avoid unnecessary duplication of effort by counsel for all Lenders.

10.5 Borrower Indemnification . Whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, the Borrower shall indemnify and hold the Agent-Related Persons, and each Lender and each of its respective officers, directors, employees, counsel, agents and attorneys-in-fact (each, an " Indemnified Person ") harmless from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, charges, expenses and disbursements (including Attorney Costs) of any kind or nature whatsoever which may at any time (including at any time following repayment of the Loans and the termination, resignation or replacement of the Agent or replacement of any Lender) be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against any such Person in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any document contemplated by or referred to herein, or the transactions contemplated hereby, or any action taken or omitted by any such Person under or in connection with any of the foregoing, including with respect to any investigation, litigation or proceeding (including any Insolvency Proceeding or appellate proceeding) related to or arising out of this Agreement or the Loans or the use of the proceeds thereof, whether or not any Indemnified Person is a party thereto (all the foregoing,

collectively, the " Indemnified Liabilities "); provided , that the Borrower shall have no obligation hereunder to any Indemnified Person with respect to Indemnified Liabilities resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnified Person. If any claim, demand, action or cause of action is asserted against any Indemnified Person, such Indemnified Person shall promptly notify Borrower, but the failure to so promptly notify Borrower shall not affect Borrower’s obligations under this Section unless such failure materially prejudices Borrower’s right to participate in the contest of such claim, demand, action or cause of action, as hereinafter provided. If requested by Borrower in writing, such Indemnified Person shall in good faith contest the validity, applicability and amount of such claim, demand, action or cause of action and shall permit Borrower to participate in such contest. Any Indemnified Person that proposes to settle or compromise any claim or proceeding for which Borrower may be liable for payment of indemnity hereunder shall give Borrower written notice of the terms of such proposed settlement or compromise reasonably in advance of settling or compromising such claim or proceeding and shall obtain Borrower’s prior consent. In connection with any claim, demand, action or cause of action covered by this Section 10.5 against more than one Indemnified Person, all such Indemnified Persons shall be represented by the same legal counsel selected by the Indemnified Persons and reasonably acceptable to Borrower; provided , that if such legal counsel determines in good faith that representing all such Indemnified Persons would or could result in a conflict of interest under laws or ethical principles applicable to such legal counsel or that a defense or counterclaim is available to an Indemnified Person that is not available to all such Indemnified Persons, then to the extent reasonably necessary to avoid such a conflict of interest or to permit unqualified assertion of such a defense or counterclaim, each Indemnified Person shall be entitled to separate representation by legal counsel selected by that Indemnified Person and reasonably acceptable to Borrower, with all such legal counsel using reasonable efforts to avoid unnecessary duplication of effort by counsel for all Indemnified Persons. The agreements in this Section shall survive payment of all other Obligations.

10.6 Payments Set Aside . To the extent that the Borrower makes a payment to the Agent or the Lenders, or the Agent or the Lenders exercise any right of set-off, and such payment or the proceeds of such set-off or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Agent or such Lender in its discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, in connection with any Insolvency Proceeding or otherwise, then (a) to the extent of such recovery the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such set-off had not occurred, and (b) each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Agent upon demand its pro rata share of any amount so recovered from or repaid by the Agent.

10.7 Successors and Assigns . The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns, except that the Borrower may not assign or transfer any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the Agent and each Lender.

NYDOCS01/1613908	45

(a) (i) Any Lender may, with the written consent of the Agent and the Borrower, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld (except Borrower’s consent shall not be required if a Default or an Event of Default exists and is continuing), at any time assign and delegate to one or more Eligible Assignees ( provided that no written consent of the Agent shall be required in connection with any assignment and delegation by a Lender to an Eligible Assignee that is an Affiliate of such Lender) (each an " Assignee ") all, or any ratable part of all, of the Loans, the Commitments, and the other rights and obligations of such Lender hereunder, in a minimum amount of $10,000,000; provided , however , that (x) the Borrower and, the Agent may continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with the interest so assigned to an Assignee until (A) written notice of such assignment, together with payment instructions, addresses and related information with respect to the Assignee, shall have been given to the Borrower and the Agent by such Lender and the Assignee; (B) such Lender and its Assignee shall have delivered to the Borrower and the Agent an Assignment and Acceptance in the form of Exhibit F (" Assignment and Acceptance ") together with any Note or Notes subject to such assignment; and (C) the assignor Lender or Assignee has paid to the Agent a processing fee in the amount of $3,500 and (y) no such assignment shall be made to any Defaulting Lender or any of its Subsidiaries, or any Person who, upon becoming a Lender hereunder, would constitute a Defaulting Lender.

(ii) Certain Additional Payments. In connection with any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder, no such assignment shall be effective unless and until, in addition to the other conditions thereto set forth herein, the parties to the assignment shall make such additional payments to the Agent in an aggregate amount sufficient, upon distribution thereof as appropriate (which may be outright payment, purchases by the assignee of participations, or other compensating actions, including funding, with the consent of the Borrower and the Agent, the applicable pro rata share of Loans previously requested but not funded by the Defaulting Lender, to each of which the applicable assignee and assignor hereby irrevocably consent), to (x) pay and satisfy in full all payment liabilities then owed by such Defaulting Lender to the Agent, and each other Lender hereunder (and interest accrued thereon), and (y) acquire (and fund as appropriate) its full Pro Rata Share of all Loans in accordance with its Pro Rata Share. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder shall become effective under applicable law without compliance with the provisions of this paragraph, then the assignee of such interest shall be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender for all purposes of this Agreement until such compliance occurs.

(b) From and after the date that the Agent notifies the assignor Lender and the Borrower that it has received (and the Borrower and the Agent have provided their consent with respect to) an executed Assignment and Acceptance and payment of the above-referenced processing fee, (i) the Assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned to it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, shall have the rights and obligations of a Lender under the Loan Documents, and (ii) the assignor Lender shall, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents have been assigned by it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, relinquish its rights and be released from its obligations under the Loan Documents.


NYDOCS01/1613908	46

(c) Within five Business Days after its receipt of notice by the Agent that it has received an executed Assignment and Acceptance and payment of the processing fee (and provided that it consents to such assignment in accordance with subsection 10.8(a) ), the Borrower shall execute and deliver to the Agent, new Notes evidencing such Assignee's assigned Loans and Commitment and, if the assignor Lender has retained a portion of its Loans and its Commitment, replacement Notes in the principal amount of the Commitment retained by the assignor Lender (such Notes to be in exchange for, but not in payment of, the Notes held by such Lender). Immediately upon each Assignee's making its processing fee payment under the Assignment and Acceptance, this Agreement shall be deemed to be amended to the extent, but only to the extent, necessary to reflect the addition of the Assignee and the resulting adjustment of the Commitments arising therefrom. The Commitment allocated to each Assignee shall reduce such Commitments of the assignor Lender pro tanto .

(d) Any Lender may at any time sell to one or more commercial banks or other Persons not Affiliates of the Borrower (a " Participant ") participating interests in any Loans, the Commitment of that Lender and the other interests of that Lender (the " originating Lender ") hereunder and under the other Loan Documents; provided , however , that (i) the originating Lender's obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) the originating Lender shall remain solely responsible for the performance of such obligations, (iii) the Borrower, and the Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with the originating Lender in connection with the originating Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and (iv) no Lender shall transfer or grant any participating interest under which the Participant has rights to approve any amendment to, or any consent or waiver with respect to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document. Any Lender that sells a participation to any Person that is a "foreign corporation, partnership or trust" within the meaning of the Code shall include in its participation agreement with such Person a covenant by such Person that such Person will comply with the provisions of Section 9.10 as if such Person were a Lender and provide that the Agent and the Borrower shall be third party beneficiaries of such covenant.

(e) Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, any Lender may at any time create a security interest in, or pledge, all or any portion of its rights under and interest in this Agreement and the Note held by it in favor of any Federal Reserve Bank in accordance with Regulation A of the FRB or U.S. Treasury Regulation 31 CFR §203.14, and such Federal Reserve Bank may enforce such pledge or security interest in any manner permitted under applicable law.

(f) Any Lender (a " Granting Lender ") may, with notice to the Agent, grant to a special purpose funding vehicle (an " SPC ") the option to fund all or any part of any Loan that such Granting Lender would otherwise be obligated to fund pursuant to this Agreement. The funding of a Loan by an SPC hereunder shall utilize the Revolving Credit Commitment of the Granting Lender to the same extent, and as if, such Loan were funded by such Granting Lender. Each party hereto hereby agrees that no SPC shall be liable for any indemnity or payment under this Agreement for which a Lender would otherwise be liable for so long as, and to the extent, the Granting Lender provides such indemnity or makes such payment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the foregoing or anywhere else in this


NYDOCS01/1613908	47

Agreement, (i) nothing herein shall constitute a commitment by any SPC to fund any Loan, (ii) if an SPC elects not to exercise such option or otherwise fails to fund all or any part of such Loan, the Granting Lender shall be obligated to fund such Loan pursuant to the terms hereof, and (iii) the Borrower and Agent shall continue to deal exclusively with the Granting Lender and any funding by an SPC hereunder shall not constitute an assignment, assumption or participation of any rights or obligations of the Granting Lender. Any SPC may disclose on a confidential basis any non-public information relating to its funding of Loans to any rating agency, commercial paper dealer or provider of any surety or guarantee to such SPC, provided , as a condition precedent to such disclosure, (A) such agency, dealer or provider has delivered to such Granting Lender for the benefit of Borrower a written confidentiality agreement substantially similar to Section 10.9 , and (B) simultaneous with or prior to such disclosure, such Granting Lender has given written notice to Borrower of the agency, dealer or provider to which such disclosure is being made and the contents of such disclosure. This Section may not be amended without the prior written consent of each Granting Lender, all or any part of whose Loan is being funded by an SPC at the time of such amendment.

10.9 Confidentiality . Each Lender agrees to hold any confidential information that it may receive from Borrower or from the Agent on such Borrower’s behalf, pursuant to this Agreement in confidence, except for disclosure: (a) to legal counsel and accountants for Borrower or any Lender; (b) to other professional advisors to Borrower or any Lender, provided that the recipient has delivered to such Lender a written confidentiality agreement substantially similar to this Section 10.9 ; (c) to regulatory officials having jurisdiction over any Lender; (d) as required by applicable law or legal process or in connection with any legal proceeding in which any Lender and Borrower are adverse parties; (e) to Affiliates or agents of such Lender to the extent the Affiliate or agent is involved in the administration of the credit facilities extended to Borrower and its Subsidiaries hereunder, provided, however, that (i) as to any such Affiliate, such Affiliate has delivered to such Lender a written confidentiality agreement substantially similar to this Section 10.9 , and (ii) as to any such agent, such agent has been informed by such Lender of the confidential nature of such confidential information and has been instructed by such Lender to maintain the confidentiality of such confidential information; and (f) to another financial institution in connection with a disposition or proposed disposition to that financial institution of all or part of any Lender’s interests hereunder or a participation interest in the Revolving Note and/or the Term Note, each in accordance with Section 10.8 hereof, provided that the recipient has delivered to such Lender a written confidentiality agreement substantially similar to this Section 10.9 . Each Lender further agrees that it will not use such confidential information in any activity or for any purpose other than the administration of credit facilities extended to Borrower and its Subsidiaries and, without limitation, will take such steps as are reasonably appropriate to preclude access to any such confidential information to be obtained by any Person employed by any Lender, or by an affiliate of any Lender, who is not involved in the administration of credit facilities extended to Borrower and its Subsidiaries. For purposes of the foregoing, "confidential information" shall mean any information respecting Borrower or its Subsidiaries reasonably specified by Borrower as confidential, other than (i) information filed with any governmental agency and available to the public, and (ii) information disclosed by Borrower to any Person not associated with Borrower without a written confidentiality agreement substantially similar to this Section 10.9 . Certain of the confidential information pursuant to this Agreement is or may be valuable proprietary information that constitutes a trade


NYDOCS01/1613908	48

secret of Borrower or its Subsidiaries; neither the provision of such confidential information to any Lender or the limited disclosures thereof permitted by this Section 10.9 shall affect the status of any such confidential information as a trade secret of Borrower and its Subsidiaries. Each Lender, and each other Person who agrees to be bound by this Section 10.9 , acknowledges that any breach of the agreements contained in this Section 10.9 would result in losses that could not be reasonably or adequately compensated by money damages. Accordingly, if any Lender or any other person breaches its obligations hereunder, such Lender or such other Person recognizes and consents to the right of Borrower, Intermediate Parent, and/or Broker Subsidiary to seek injunctive relief to compel such Lender or other Person to abide by the terms of this Section 10.9 .

The Agent agrees to provide to the Borrower, upon the Borrower’s request, each interest rate that is furnished by any Reference Bank to the Agent pursuant to Section 2.14(b) (each, a “Reference Bank Rate”), which information is to be treated by the Borrower as confidential except (i) the Borrower may disclose any actual interest rate payable under this Agreement, and (ii) the Borrower may disclose any Reference Bank Rate (a) to legal counsel and accountants for Borrower; (b) to other professional advisors to Borrower, provided that the recipient has delivered to the Borrower a written confidentiality agreement substantially similar to this Section 10.9 ; (c) to regulatory officials having jurisdiction over the Borrower; (d) as required by applicable law, legal process, the New York Stock Exchange or any similar self-regulatory exchange of which Borrower is a member, or in connection with any legal proceeding in which any Lender and Borrower are adverse parties; (e) to Affiliates or agents of the Borrower to the extent the Affiliate or agent is involved in the administration of the credit facilities extended to the Borrower and its Subsidiaries hereunder, provided, however, that (i) as to any such Affiliate, such Affiliate has delivered to the Borrower a written confidentiality agreement substantially similar to this Section 10.9 , and (ii) as to any such agent, such agent has been informed by the Borrower of the confidential nature of such confidential information and has been instructed by the Borrower to maintain the confidentiality of such Reference Bank Rate . The Borrower further agrees that it will not use such confidential information in any activity or for any purpose other than the administration of this Agreement and, without limitation, will take such steps as are reasonably appropriate to preclude access to any such confidential information to be obtained by any Person employed by the Borrower, or by an affiliate of the Borrower, who is not involved in the administration of this Agreement .

10.10 Notification of Addresses, Lending Offices, Etc . Each Lender shall notify the Agent in writing of any changes in the address to which notices to the Lender should be directed, of addresses of any Lending Office, of payment instructions in respect of all payments to be made to it hereunder and of such other administrative information as the Agent shall reasonably request.

10.11 Counterparts . This Agreement may be executed in any number of separate counterparts, each of which, when so executed, shall be deemed an original, and all of said counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute but one and the same instrument.

10.12 Severability . The illegality or unenforceability of any provision of this Agreement or any instrument or agreement required hereunder shall not in any way affect or


NYDOCS01/1613908	49

impair the legality or enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement or any instrument or agreement required hereunder.

10.13 No Third Parties Benefited . This Agreement is made and entered into for the sole protection and legal benefit of the Borrower, the Lenders, the Agent and the Arranger, and their permitted successors and assigns, and no other Person shall be a direct or indirect legal beneficiary of, or have any direct or indirect cause of action or claim in connection with, this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents.

10.14 Governing Law and Jurisdiction .

(a) THIS AGREEMENT AND THE NOTES SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA; PROVIDED THAT THE AGENT AND THE LENDERS SHALL RETAIN ALL RIGHTS ARISING UNDER FEDERAL LAW.

(b) EACH PARTY HERETO IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY AGREES THAT IT WILL NOT COMMENCE ANY ACTION, LITIGATION OR PROCEEDING OF ANY KIND OR DESCRIPTION, WHETHER IN LAW OR EQUITY, WHETHER IN CONTRACT OR IN TORT OR OTHERWISE, AGAINST ANY OTHER PARTY HERETO OR ANY AGENT-RELATED PARTY IN ANY WAY RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS RELATING HERETO OR THERETO, IN ANY FORUM OTHER THAN THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK SITTING IN NEW YORK COUNTY, AND OF THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT OF THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA OR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK, AND ANY APPELLATE COURT FROM ANY THEREOF, AND EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY SUBMITS TO THE JURISDICTION OF SUCH COURTS AND AGREES THAT ALL CLAIMS IN RESPECT OF ANY SUCH ACTION, LITIGATION OR PROCEEDING MAY BE HEARD AND DETERMINED IN SUCH CALIFORNIA OR NEW YORK STATE COURT OR, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN SUCH FEDERAL COURT. EACH OF THE BORROWER, THE AGENT AND THE LENDERS IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY OBJECTION, INCLUDING ANY OBJECTION TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OR BASED ON THE GROUNDS OF FORUM NON CONVENIENS , WHICH IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE BRINGING OF ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN SUCH JURISDICTION IN RESPECT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY DOCUMENT RELATED HERETO.

10.15 Waiver of Jury Trial .

(a) TO THE FULL EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE BORROWER, THE LENDERS AND THE AGENT EACH WAIVE THEIR RESPECTIVE RIGHTS TO A TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION BASED UPON OR ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, OR THE TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY, IN


NYDOCS01/1613908	50

ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR OTHER LITIGATION OF ANY TYPE BROUGHT BY ANY OF THE PARTIES AGAINST ANY OTHER PARTY OR ANY AGENT-RELATED PERSON, PARTICIPANT OR ASSIGNEE, WHETHER WITH RESPECT TO CONTRACT CLAIMS, TORT CLAIMS, OR OTHERWISE. TO THE FULL EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE BORROWER, THE LENDERS AND THE AGENT EACH AGREE THAT ANY SUCH CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION SHALL BE TRIED BY A COURT TRIAL WITHOUT A JURY. WITHOUT LIMITING THE FOREGOING, THE PARTIES FURTHER AGREE THAT THEIR RESPECTIVE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IS WAIVED BY OPERATION OF THIS SECTION AS TO ANY ACTION, COUNTERCLAIM OR OTHER PROCEEDING WHICH SEEKS, IN WHOLE OR IN PART, TO CHALLENGE THE VALIDITY OR ENFORCEABILITY OF THIS AGREEMENT OR THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS OR ANY PROVISION HEREOF OR THEREOF. THIS WAIVER SHALL APPLY TO ANY SUBSEQUENT AMENDMENTS, RENEWALS, SUPPLEMENTS OR MODIFICATIONS TO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS.

(b) WITHOUT INTENDING IN ANY WAY TO LIMIT THE PARTIES’ AGREEMENT IMMEDIATELY ABOVE TO WAIVE THEIR RESPECTIVE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY, if such waiver of the right to a trial by jury is not enforceable, the parties hereto agree that any and all disputes or controversies of any nature between the Borrower, on the one hand, and any one or more of the other parties to this Agreement, on the other, arising out of this Agreement at any time shall be decided by a reference to a private judge, mutually selected by the parties to such dispute (or, if they cannot agree, by the Presiding Judge of the California Superior Court in and for the County of San Francisco) appointed in accordance with California Code of Civil Procedure Section 638 (or pursuant to comparable provisions of federal law if the dispute falls within the exclusive jurisdiction of the federal courts), sitting without a jury, in San Francisco County, California; and the parties hereby submit to the jurisdiction of such court. The reference proceedings shall be conducted pursuant to and in accordance with the provisions of California Code of Civil Procedure §§ 638 through 645.1, inclusive. The private judge shall have the power, among others, to grant provisional relief, including without limitation, entering temporary restraining orders, issuing preliminary and permanent injunctions and appointing receivers. All such proceedings shall be closed to the public and confidential, and all records relating thereto shall be permanently sealed. If during the course of any dispute, a party desires to seek provisional relief, but a judge has not been appointed at that point pursuant to the judicial reference procedures, then such party may apply to the California Superior Court in and for the County of San Francisco for such relief. The proceeding before the private judge shall be conducted in the same manner as it would be before a court under the rules of evidence applicable to judicial proceedings. The parties shall be entitled to discovery which shall be conducted in the same manner as it would be before a court under the rules of discovery applicable to judicial proceedings. The private judge shall oversee discovery and may enforce all discovery rules and orders applicable to judicial proceedings in the same manner as a trial court judge. The parties agree that the selected or appointed private judge shall have the power to decide all issues in the action or proceeding, whether of fact or of la w, and shall report a statement of decision thereon pursuant to the California Code of Civil Procedure § 644(a). Nothing in this paragraph shall limit the right of any party at any time to exercise self-help remedies, foreclose against collateral (if any), or obtain provisional remedies.


NYDOCS01/1613908	51

The private judge shall also determine all issues relating to the applicability, interpretation, and enforceability of this paragraph.

BORROWER’S OPINION OF COUNSEL

[Arnold & Porter LLP Letterhead]

[Date]

Citibank, N.A., as Agent

___________________________


	Re:	Credit Agreement (364-Day Commitment), dated June 5, 2015, among
		The Charles Schwab Corporation, Citibank, N.A., as Agent
		and the Lenders party thereto

Ladies and Gentlemen:

This opinion is delivered at the request of The Charles Schwab Corporation to you in your capacity as Agent, on behalf of the Lenders, under the Credit Agreement (364-Day Commitment) dated as of June 5, 2015 (the " Credit Agreement ") among The Charles Schwab Corporation, a Delaware corporation (" Borrower "), Citibank, N.A., as the Administrative Agent and the Lenders signatories thereto (each a " Lender " and collectively, the " Lenders "). This opinion letter speaks as of close of business on June 5, 2015 (hereafter the " operative date ").

We have acted as special counsel to Borrower in connection with the Credit Agreement. In such capacity we have examined originals, or copies represented to us by Borrower to be true copies, of the Credit Agreement; and we have obtained such certificates of such responsible officials of Borrower and of public officials as we have deemed necessary for purposes of this opinion. We have assumed without investigation the genuineness of all signatures on original documents, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, the conformity to original documents of all documents submitted to us as photostatic copies of originals, and the accuracy and completeness of all corporate records certified to us by the Borrower to be accurate and complete. We have further assumed that the Credit Agreement is binding upon and enforceable against the Agent and the Lenders. As to factual matters, we have relied upon the representations and warranties contained in and made pursuant to the Credit Agreement.

Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein have the meanings given for such terms in the Credit Agreement. For the purpose of this opinion, " Loan Documents " as used herein means the Credit Agreement and the Notes.

Based upon the foregoing and in reliance thereon, and subject to the exceptions and qualifications set forth herein, we are of the opinion that:

1. Borrower is a corporation duly formed, validly existing, and in good standing under the laws of Delaware.


NYDOCS01/1613908

2. Borrower has all requisite corporate power and authority to execute, deliver and perform all of its obligations under the Loan Documents.

3. Each Loan Document has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by Borrower. Each Loan Document constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of Borrower, enforceable against Borrower in accordance with its terms, except as such validity, binding nature or enforceability may be limited by:

(a) the effect of applicable federal or state bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, moratorium or other similar laws and court decisions relating to or affecting creditors’ rights generally;

(b) the effect of legal and equitable principles upon the availability of creditors’ remedies, regardless of whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law;

(c) the effect of California judicial decisions involving statutes or principles of equity which have held that certain covenants or other provisions of agreements, including without limitation those providing for the acceleration of indebtedness due under debt instruments upon the occurrence of events therein described, are unenforceable under circumstances where it cannot be demonstrated that the enforcement of such provisions is reasonably necessary for the protection of the lender, has been undertaken in good faith under the circumstances then existing, and is commercially reasonable;

(d) the effect of Section 1670.5 of the California Civil Code, which provides that a court may refuse to enforce a contract or may limit the application thereof or any clause thereof which the court finds as a matter of law to have been unconscionable at the time it was made;

(e) the unenforceability, under certain circumstances, of provisions purporting to require the award of attorneys’ fees, expenses, or costs, where such provisions do not satisfy the requirements of California Civil Code Section 1717 et seq ., or in any action where the lender is not the prevailing party;

(f) the unenforceability, under certain circumstances, of provisions waiving stated rights or unknown future rights and waiving defenses to obligations, where such waivers are contrary to applicable law or against public policy;

(g) the unenforceability, under certain circumstances, of provisions which provide for penalties, late charges, additional interest in the event of a default by the borrower or fees or costs related to such charges;

(h) he unenforceability, under certain circumstances, of provisions to the effect that rights or remedies are not exclusive, that every right or remedy is cumulative and may be exercised in addition to or with any other right or remedy, or that the election of some particular remedy or remedies does not preclude recourse to one or another remedy;

(i) the unenforceability of provisions prohibiting waivers of provisions of either of the Loan Documents otherwise than in writing to the extent that Section 1698 of the California Civil Code permits oral modifications that have been executed;


NYDOCS01/1613908	2

(j) limitations on the enforceability of release, contribution, exculpatory, or nonliability provisions, under federal or state securities laws, Sections 1542 and 1543 of the California Civil Code, and any other applicable statute or court decisions;

(k) limitations on the enforceability of any indemnity obligations imposed upon or undertaken by the borrower to the extent that such obligations do not satisfy the requirements of Sections 2772 et seq . of the California Civil Code and any judicial decisions thereunder; provided that the limitations and qualifications set forth in the immediately preceding sub-paragraphs (b) through (k) do not, in our opinion, render the remedies available to the Lenders under the Loan Documents inadequate for the practical realization of the primary rights and benefits reasonably expected by an institutional lender in a comparable unsecured credit facility transaction governed by California law; and

(l) the effect of Grafton Partners L.P. v. Superior Court, 36 Cal. 4th 944, 2005 WL 1831995 (Cal. 2005), in which the California Supreme Court held that predispute contractual waivers of trial by jury are invalid, as well as the effect of Section 631(d) of the California Code of Civil Procedure, which provides that a court may, in its discretion upon just terms, allow a trial by jury although there may have been a waiver of trial by jury.

The foregoing opinions are subject to the following exceptions and qualifications:

a. We have not been requested to verify and have not verified the validity, accuracy, or reasonableness of any of the factual representations contained in either or both of the Loan Documents, and we express no opinion with respect to any of such matters.

b. We are members of the bar of the State of California. We are opining herein only concerning matters governed by the Federal laws of the United States of America, the substantive laws of the State of California, and the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, and only with respect to Borrower. We express no opinion concerning the applicability to either or both of the Loan Documents, or the effect thereon, of the laws of any other jurisdiction. Furthermore, we express no opinion with respect to choice of law or conflicts of law, and none of the opinions stated herein shall be deemed to include or refer to choice of law or conflict of law.

c. We express no opinion on any Federal or state securities laws as they may relate to either or both of the Loan Documents.

d. We express no opinion as to compliance with the usury laws of any jurisdiction.

The opinions set forth herein are given as of the operative date. We disclaim any obligation to notify you or any other person or entity after the operative date if any change in fact and/or law should change our opinion with respect to any matters set forth herein. This opinion letter is rendered to you in your capacity as the Agent on behalf of the Lenders under the Credit Agreement and may not be relied upon, circulated or quoted, in whole or in part, by any other person or entity (other than the Lenders and a person or entity who becomes an assignee or successor in interest of any Lender or acquires a participation from any Lender consistent with the terms of the Loan Documents) and shall not be referred to in any report or document furnished to any other person or entity without our prior written consent; provided , however , that the foregoing shall not preclude any Lender from describing or otherwise disclosing the


NYDOCS01/1613908	3

existence or contents of this letter to (i) any bank regulatory authority having jurisdiction over such Lender, as required by such authority, (ii) a person or entity who, in good-faith discussions between such Lender and such person or entity, is proposed to become an assignee or successor in interest of such Lender or to acquire a participation from the Bank consistent with the terms of the Loan Documents, and (iii) counsel to the Agent and the Lenders.

Ratio of earnings to fixed charges and preferred stock dividends, excluding
bank deposits and payables to brokerage clients interest expense (2)		7.4		7.8		8.2		9.3

(1)	The ratios of earnings to fixed charges and earnings to fixed charges and preferred stock dividends are calculated in accordance with SEC requirements. For such purposes, “earnings” consist of earnings before taxes on earnings and fixed charges. “Fixed charges” consist of interest expense as listed above, and one-third of rental expense, which is estimated to be representative of the interest factor.
( 2 )	Because interest expense incurred in connection with both bank deposits and payables to brokerage clients is completely offset by interest revenue on related investments and loans, the Company considers such interest to be an operating expense. Accordingly, the ratio of earnings to fixed charges, excluding bank deposits and payables to brokerage clients interest expense, and the ratio of earnings to fixed charges and preferred stock dividends, excluding bank deposits and payables to brokerage clients interest expense, reflect the elimination of such interest expense as a fixed charge.
( 3 )	The preferred stock dividend amounts represent the pre-tax earnings that would be required to pay the dividends on outstanding preferred stock.
