Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

INTRODUCTION

The Charles Schwab Corporation (CSC) is a savings and loan holding company engaged, through its subsidiaries (collectively referred to as “Schwab” or the “Company”), in wealth management, securities brokerage, banking, asset management, custody, and financial advisory services.

Significant business subsidiaries of CSC include the following:


•	Charles Schwab & Co., Inc. (CS&Co), a securities broker-dealer;


•	Charles Schwab Bank (CSB), a federal savings bank; and


•	Charles Schwab Investment Management, Inc. (CSIM), the investment advisor for Schwab’s proprietary mutual funds (Schwab Funds ^® ) and Schwab’s exchange-traded funds (Schwab ETFs™).

Unless otherwise indicated, the terms “Schwab,” “the Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our” mean CSC together with its consolidated subsidiaries.

Schwab 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, and retirement plan services, as well as other corporate brokerage services, to businesses and their employees. The Advisor Services segment provides custodial, trading, banking, and support services, as well as retirement business services, to independent registered investment advisors (RIAs), independent retirement advisors, and recordkeepers.

Schwab was founded on the belief that all Americans deserve access to a better investing experience. Although much has changed in the intervening years, our purpose remains clear – to champion every client’s goals with passion and integrity. Guided by this purpose and the aspiration of creating the most trusted leader in investment services, management has adopted a strategy described as “Through Clients’ Eyes.”

This strategy emphasizes placing clients’ perspectives, needs, and desires at the forefront. Because investing plays a fundamental role in building financial security, we strive to deliver a better investing experience for our clients – individual investors and the people and institutions who serve them – by disrupting longstanding industry practices on their behalf and providing superior service. We also aim to offer a broad range of products and solutions to meet client needs with a focus on transparency, value, and trust. In addition, management works to couple Schwab’s scale and resources with ongoing expense discipline to keep costs low and ensure that products and solutions are affordable as well as responsive to client needs. In combination, these are the key elements of our “no trade-offs” approach to serving investors. We believe that following this strategy is the best way to maximize our market valuation and stockholder returns over time.

Management estimates that investable wealth in the United States (consisting of assets in defined contribution, retail wealth management and brokerage, and registered investment advisor channels, along with bank deposits) currently exceeds $45 trillion, which means the Company’s $3.40 trillion in client assets leaves substantial opportunity for growth. Our strategy is based on the principle that developing trusted relationships will translate into more assets from both new and existing clients, ultimately driving more revenue, and along with expense discipline, will generate earnings growth and build long-term stockholder value.

This Management’s Discussion and Analysis should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017 ( 2017 Form 10-K).

On our website, www.aboutschwab.com , we post the following filings after they are electronically filed with or furnished to the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC): annual reports on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, current reports on Form 8-K, and any amendments to those reports filed or furnished pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange

Management focuses on several client activity and financial metrics in evaluating Schwab’s financial position and operating performance. Results for the second quarters and first six months of 2018 and 2017 are:



	Three Months Ended June 30,						Percent Change		Six Months Ended June 30,						Percent Change
	2018			2017			Percent Change		2018			2017			Percent Change
Client Metrics:
Net new client assets (in billions) ⁽¹⁾	$	43.9		$	64.5		(32	)%	$	25.1		$	103.4		(76	)%
Core net new client assets (in billions)	$	53.4		$	46.2		16	%	$	119.0		$	85.1		40	%
Client assets (in billions, at quarter end)	$	3,397.0		$	3,040.6		12	%

New brokerage accounts (in thousands)	384			357			8	%	827			719			15	%
Active brokerage accounts (in thousands, at quarter end)	11,202			10,487			7	%
Assets receiving ongoing advisory services (in billions, at quarter end)	$	1,768.7		$	1,539.8		15	%
Client cash as a percentage of client assets (at quarter end)	10.7		%	11.5		%
Company Financial Metrics:
Total net revenues	$	2,486		$	2,130		17	%	$	4,884		$	4,211		16	%
Total expenses excluding interest	1,355			1,221			11	%	2,751			2,459			12	%

Taxes on income	265			334			(21	)%	484			613			(21	)%
Net income	866			575			51	%	1,649			1,139			45	%

Consolidated Tier 1 Leverage Ratio (at quarter end)	7.6		%	7.4		%

⁽¹⁾ Includes outflows of $9.5 billion and $93.9 billion in the second quarter and first six months of 2018 , respectively, from certain mutual fund clearing services clients.

Net income grew 51% and 45% for the second quarter and first six months of 2018 , respectively, compared to the same periods in 2017 , driven primarily by sustained business momentum, higher interest rates, and lower corporate income taxes. Total net revenues rose 17% and 16% in the second quarter and first six months of 2018 , respectively, compared to the same periods in 2017 , primarily due to higher net interest revenue as a result of higher interest rates and larger client cash sweep balances. Total expenses excluding interest grew 11% and 12% during the second quarter and first six months of 2018 , respectively, compared to the same periods in 2017 , reflecting higher spending to support the expanding client base and ongoing investments to fuel growth. Altogether, we achieved a 570 basis point gap between revenue and expense growth, which resulted in a 45.5% and 43.7% pre-tax profit margin for the second quarter and first six months of 2018 , respectively, compared to the same periods in 2017 .

Taxes on income decreased 21% for both the second quarter and first six months of 2018 resulting in effective tax rates of 23.4% and 22.7% for the second quarter and first six months of 2018 , respectively. The reduction in taxes on income was due to the Tax Act of 2017, which lowered the federal corporate income tax rate from 35% to 21% effective January 1, 2018.

We delivered net income of $866 million and $1.6 billion for the second quarter and first six months of 2018 , respectively, up $291 million and $510 million from a year ago, lifting our return on equity to 19% for the second quarter and first six months of 2018 compared to 15% for the same periods in 2017 .

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

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

During the second quarter of 2018 , clients opened 384,000 new brokerage accounts, helping to bring active brokerage accounts to 11.2 million at June 30, 2018 . Excluding planned mutual funding clearing outflows of $9.5 billion , core net new assets gathered during the second quarter of 2018 were $53.4 billion , compared to $46.2 billion for the same period a year ago. Client engagement remained strong during the second quarter of 2018 , with daily average revenue trades rising 21% from the same period in 2017 .

Effective balance sheet management remains an essential element of our financial discipline. In the second quarter, we issued $1.95 billion of Senior Notes, which we used to redeem $275 million of maturing debt and maintain appropriate liquidity given the growth we’re achieving. We also transferred an additional $20 billion in the second quarter of 2018 from sweep money market funds to bank sweep deposits, bringing the total year-to-date transferred amount to $45 billion. As anticipated, we crossed the $250 billion asset threshold for heightened regulatory requirements during the second quarter of 2018, ending with $262 billion in total consolidated assets at June 30, 2018 .

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

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

Net interest revenue increased $ 354 million , or 34% , and $617 million , or 30% , in the second quarter and first six months of 2018 , respectively, compared to the same periods in 2017 , primarily due to higher interest rates and growth in interest-earning assets.

Our net interest margin improved to 2.30% and 2.21% during the second quarter and first six months of 2018 , respectively, up from 1.96% and 1.91% during the same periods in 2017, primarily as a result of the Federal Reserve System’s (Federal Reserve) 2017 and March and June 2018 interest rate hikes, partially offset by higher interest rates paid on bank deposits and other interest-bearing liabilities.

During the second quarter and the first six months of 2018 , average interest earning assets grew 13% and 11% , respectively, compared to the same periods in 2017. These increases reflect higher bank deposits due to transfers from sweep money market funds to bank sweep balances, as well as other client-related deposit inflows and higher borrowings, partially offset by client purchases of other assets.

In addition to issuing the Senior Notes, we utilized Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) advances during the first half of 2018 to provide temporary funding for additional investments ahead of deposit growth. The FHLB advances matured by June 30, 2018.

Asset management and administration fees decreased by $31 million , or 4% , and $3 million , or 0.2% , in the second quarter and first six months of 2018 , respectively, compared to the same periods in 2017 . The decreases were due to lower money market fund revenue as a result of transfers to bank sweep, client asset allocation choices, and our 2017 fee reductions. Part of the declines were offset by revenue from growing asset balances in advice solutions, equity and bond funds, and ETFs.

	2018		2017		Percent Change		2018		2017		Percent Change
Daily average revenue trades (DARTs) (in thousands)	376		311		21	%	418		314		33	%
Clients’ daily average trades (in thousands)	704		589		20	%	757		587		29	%

Trading revenue	$	180	$	157	15	%	$	381	$	349	9	%

DART volumes increased 21% and 33% in the second quarter and first six months of 2018 , respectively, compared to the prior year. This led to an increase in trading revenue of $23 million , or 15% , and $32 million , or 9% , in the second quarter and first six months of 2018 , respectively, compared to the same periods in 2017 , as the volume growth more than offset Schwab’s commission pricing reductions implemented in the first quarter of 2017. During that time, Schwab announced two trading price reductions which lowered standard equity, ETF, and option trade commissions from $8.95 to $4.95 and lowered the per contract option fee from $.75 to $.65.

Other Revenue

Other revenue includes order flow revenue, other service fees, software fees from our portfolio management solutions, exchange processing fees, and non-recurring gains. Order flow revenue was $33 million and $26 million during the second quarters of 2018 and 2017 , respectively, and $71 million and $53 million during the first six months of 2018 and 2017 , respectively. These increases were primarily due to higher rates on certain types of orders and higher volume of trades.

Total compensation and benefits increased in the second quarter and first six months of 2018 compared to the same periods in 2017 , primarily due to an increase in employee headcount to support our expanding client base.

Professional services expense increased in the second quarter and first six months of 2018 compared to the same periods in 2017 , primarily due to an increase in asset management and administration-related expenses resulting from growth in the Schwab Funds ^® and Schwab ETFs™ and higher spending on technology projects.

Occupancy and equipment expense increased in the second quarter and first six months of 2018 compared to the same periods in 2017 , primarily due to an increase in software maintenance expenses and additional licenses to support growth in the business.

Depreciation and amortization expenses grew in the second quarter and first six months of 2018 compared to the same periods in 2017 , primarily due to higher amortization of internally developed software associated with continued investments in software and technology enhancements.

Regulatory fees and assessments increased in the second quarter and first six months of 2018 compared to the same periods in 2017 , primarily due to an increase in Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) insurance assessments, which rose as a result of higher average assets.

Other expenses increased in the first six months of 2018 compared to the same period in 2017 , primarily due to a $15 million charge in the first quarter of 2018 associated with unsecured client margin losses in volatility-related products and other miscellaneous expense growth related to the expanding client base.

Capital expenditures were $126 million and $261 million in the second quarter and first six months of 2018 , respectively, compared with $86 million and $153 million in the second quarter and first six months of 2017 , respectively. The increases in the second quarter and year-to-date capital expenditures from the same periods in 2017 were due primarily to our office campus

expansion in the U.S. and investments in technology projects. As we continue to pursue our geographic strategy, we anticipate increasing capital expenditures for full-year 2018 from our typical range of 3-5% of total net revenues to approximately 6-7%.

Taxes on Income

Taxes on income were $265 million and $334 million for the second quarters of 2018 and 2017 , respectively, resulting in effective income tax rates on income before taxes of 23.4% and 36.7% , respectively. Taxes on income were $484 million and $613 million for the first six months of 2018 and 2017 , respectively, resulting in effective income tax rates on income before taxes of 22.7% and 35.0% , respectively. The decrease in the effective tax rate was primarily due to the Tax Act which was signed into law on December 22, 2017. Among other things, the Tax Act lowered the federal corporate income tax rate from 35% to 21%, effective for tax years including or commencing January 1, 2018.

Investor Services

Total net revenues rose by 18% in both the second quarter and first six months of 2018 compared to the same periods in 2017 , primarily due to an increase in net interest revenue. Net interest revenue increased due to higher net interest margins and higher interest-earning assets.

Expenses excluding interest increased by 11% in both the second quarter and first six months of 2018 compared to the same periods in 2017 , primarily due to higher compensation and benefits, technology project spend, and asset management and administration-related expenses to support our expanding client base.

Advisor Services

Total net revenues rose by 12% in both the second quarter and first six months of 2018 compared to the same periods in 2017 , primarily due to an increase in net interest revenue, partially offset by lower asset management and administration fees. Net interest revenue increased due to higher net interest margins and higher interest-earning assets. Asset management and administration fees decreased primarily due to lower money market fund revenue as a result of transfers to bank sweep, client asset allocation choices, and our 2017 fee reductions.

Expenses excluding interest increased by 12% and 13% in the second quarter and first six months of 2018 , respectively, compared to the same periods in 2017 , primarily due to higher compensation and benefits, technology project spend, and asset management and administration-related expenses to support our expanding client base.

RISK MANAGEMENT

Schwab’s business activities expose us to a variety of risks, including operational, credit, market, liquidity, and compliance risk. The Company has a comprehensive risk management program to identify and manage these risks and their associated potential for financial and reputational impact. For a discussion of our risk management programs, see Item 7 – Risk Management in the 2017 Form 10-K.

Net Interest Revenue Simulation

For Schwab’s net interest revenue sensitivity analysis, we use 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 simulations involve assumptions that are inherently uncertain and, as a result, cannot precisely estimate the impact of changes in interest rates on 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 our guidelines for net interest revenue sensitivity are breached, management must report the breach to the Financial Risk Oversight Committee and establish a plan to address the interest rate risk. There were no breaches of Schwab’s net interest revenue sensitivity risk limits during the six months ended June 30, 2018 , or year ended December 31, 2017 .

As represented by the simulations presented below, our 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.

The simulations in the following table assume that the asset and liability structure of the consolidated balance sheets would not be changed as a result of the simulated changes in interest rates. As we actively manage the consolidated balance sheets and interest rate exposure, in all likelihood we would take steps to manage additional interest rate exposure that could result from changes in the interest rate environment. The following table shows the simulated net interest revenue change over the next 12 months beginning June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 of a gradual 100 basis point increase or decrease in market interest rates relative to prevailing market rates at the end of each reporting period:



	June 30, 2018		December 31, 2017
Increase of 100 basis points	3.1	%	3.3	%
Decrease of 100 basis points	(4.8	)%	(6.2	)%

The change in net interest revenue sensitivities as of June 30, 2018 reflects the increase in interest rates across all maturities.

Liquidity Risk

Schwab’s primary source of funds is cash generated by client activity: bank deposits and cash balances in client brokerage accounts. These funds are used to purchase investment securities and extend loans to clients.

Other sources of funds may include cash flows from operations, maturities and sales of investment securities, repayments on loans, securities lending of assets held in client brokerage accounts, and cash provided by external debt or equity financing.

To meet daily funding needs, we maintain liquidity in the form of overnight cash deposits and short-term investments. For unanticipated liquidity needs, a buffer of highly liquid investments, currently comprised of U.S. Treasury notes, is also maintained.

In addition to internal sources of liquidity, Schwab has access to external funding. The following table describes external debt facilities available at June 30, 2018 :



Description	Borrower	Outstanding		Available
Committed, unsecured credit facility with various external banks	CSC	$	—	$	750
Uncommitted, unsecured lines of credit with various external banks	CSC, CS&Co	—		1,432
Federal Reserve Bank discount window ⁽¹⁾	CSB	—		2,455
Federal Home Loan Bank secured credit facility ⁽²⁾	CSB	—		30,323
Unsecured commercial paper ⁽³⁾	CSC	—		750

⁽¹⁾ Amounts available are dependent on the fair value of certain investment securities that are pledged as collateral.

⁽²⁾ Amounts available are dependent on the amount of first lien residential real estate mortgage loans (First Mortgages), home equity lines of credit (HELOCs), and the fair value of certain investment securities that are pledged as collateral.

⁽³⁾ CSC has authorization from its Board of Directors to issue Commercial Paper Notes to not exceed $1.5 billion. Management has set a current limit not to exceed the amount of the committed, unsecured credit facility.

CSC’s ratings for Commercial Paper Notes are P1 by Moody’s Investor Service (Moody’s), A1 by Standard & Poor’s Rating Group (Standard & Poor’s), and F1 by Fitch Ratings, Ltd (Fitch).

Borrowings

The following are details of the Senior Notes and short-term borrowings:

⁽¹⁾ Amounts include $600 million Senior Notes with a quarterly variable interest rate equal to the three-month LIBOR plus 0.32%.

N/A Not applicable.

New Debt Issuances

All debt issuances in 2018 were senior unsecured obligations with interest payable quarterly or semi-annually. Additional details are as follows:



Issuance Date	Issuance Amount		Maturity Date	Interest Rate	Interest Payable
May 22, 2018	$	600	5/21/2021	Three-month LIBOR + 0.32%	Quarterly

Schwab is subject to, and was in compliance with, the modified liquidity coverage ratio (LCR) rule at June 30, 2018 . Schwab expects consolidated balance sheet assets to remain above $250 billion in 2018, and as a result, would become subject to the full LCR rule in 2019.

CAPITAL MANAGEMENT

Schwab seeks to manage capital to a level and composition sufficient to support execution of our business strategy, including anticipated balance sheet growth, providing financial support to our subsidiaries, and sustained access to the capital markets, while at the same time meeting our regulatory capital requirements, and serving as a source of financial strength to our banking subsidiaries. Schwab’s primary sources of capital are funds generated by the operations of subsidiaries and securities issuances by CSC in the capital markets. To ensure that Schwab has sufficient capital to absorb unanticipated losses or declines in asset values, we have adopted a policy to remain well capitalized even in stressed scenarios.

Regulatory Capital Requirements

CSC and CSB are subject to various capital requirements set by regulatory agencies as discussed in further detail in the 2017 Form 10-K and in Item 1 – Note 16. As of June 30, 2018 , CSC and CSB are considered well capitalized.

The following table details CSC’s consolidated and CSB’s capital ratios as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 :

⁽¹⁾ CSC and CSB have elected to opt out of the requirement to include most components of accumulated other comprehensive income (AOCI) in Common Equity Tier 1 Capital. Schwab expects consolidated balance sheet assets to remain above $250 billion in 2018, and as a result, would no longer exclude AOCI from regulatory capital beginning in 2019.

CSB is also subject to regulatory requirements that restrict and govern the terms of affiliate transactions. In addition, CSB is required to provide notice to, and may be required to obtain approval from, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency and the Federal Reserve to declare dividends to CSC.

Schwab’s primary broker-dealer subsidiary, CS&Co, is subject to regulatory requirements of the Uniform Net Capital Rule. At June 30, 2018 , CS&Co exceeded its net capital requirements.

In addition to the capital requirements above, Schwab’s subsidiaries are subject to other regulatory requirements intended to ensure financial soundness and liquidity. See Item 1 – Note 16 for additional information on the components of stockholders’ equity and information on the capital requirements of significant subsidiaries.

Foreign Holdings

At June 30, 2018 , Schwab had exposure to non-sovereign financial and non-financial institutions in foreign countries, as well as agencies of foreign governments. At June 30, 2018 , the fair value of these holdings totaled $7.2 billion , with the top three exposures being to issuers and counterparties domiciled in Sweden at $2.0 billion , France at $1.5 billion , and Canada at $1.0 billion . Our holdings of securities issued by agencies of foreign governments are explicitly guaranteed by the governments of the issuing agencies.

In addition to the direct holdings in foreign companies and securities issued by foreign government agencies, Schwab has indirect exposure to foreign countries through its investments in CSIM money market funds (collectively, the Funds) resulting from brokerage clearing activities. At June 30, 2018 , Schwab had $42 million in investments in these Funds. Certain of the Funds’ positions include certificates of deposit, time deposits, commercial paper, and corporate debt securities issued by counterparties in foreign countries. Additionally, at June 30, 2018 , Schwab had outstanding margin loans to foreign residents of $532 million .

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

Schwab 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.

1. Introduction and Basis of Presentation

The Charles Schwab Corporation (CSC) is a savings and loan holding company engaged, through its subsidiaries, in wealth management, securities brokerage, banking, asset management, custody, and financial advisory services.

Significant business subsidiaries of CSC include the following:


•	Charles Schwab & Co., Inc. (CS&Co), a securities broker-dealer;


•	Charles Schwab Bank (CSB), a federal savings bank; and


•	Charles Schwab Investment Management, Inc. (CSIM), the investment advisor for Schwab’s proprietary mutual funds (Schwab Funds ^® ) and Schwab’s exchange-traded funds (Schwab ETFs™).

Unless otherwise indicated, the terms “Schwab,” “the Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our” mean CSC together with its consolidated subsidiaries.

These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the U.S. (GAAP), which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the accompanying financial statements, and in the related disclosures. These estimates are based on information available as of the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements. While management makes its best judgment, actual amounts or results could differ from these estimates. In the opinion of management, all normal, recurring adjustments have been included for a fair statement of this interim financial information.

These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto, included in Schwab’s 2017 Form 10-K.

The significant accounting policies are included in Note 2 in the 2017 Form 10-K. There have been no significant changes to these accounting policies during the first six months of 2018 , except as described in Note 2 below.

Principles of Consolidation

Schwab evaluates all entities in which it has financial interests for consolidation, except for money market funds, which are specifically excluded from consolidation guidance. When an entity is evaluated for consolidation, Schwab determines whether its interest in the entity constitutes a controlling financial interest under either the variable interest entity (VIE) model or a voting interest entity (VOE) model. In evaluating whether Schwab’s interest in a VIE is a controlling financial interest, we consider whether our involvement, in the context of the design, purpose, and risks of the VIE, as well as any involvement of related parties, provides us with (i) the power to direct the most significant activities of the VIE, and (ii) the obligation to absorb losses or receive benefits that are significant to the VIE. If both of these conditions exist, then Schwab would be the primary beneficiary of that VIE, and consolidate it. Based upon the assessments for all of our interests in VIEs, there are no cases where Schwab is the primary beneficiary; therefore, we are not required to consolidate any VIEs. Schwab consolidates all VOEs in which it has majority-voting interests.

Investments in entities in which Schwab does not have a controlling financial interest are accounted for under the equity method of accounting when we have the ability to exercise significant influence over operating and financing decisions of the entity. Investments in entities for which Schwab does not have the ability to exercise significant influence are generally carried at cost and adjusted for impairment and observable price changes of the identical or similar investments of the same issuer (adjusted cost method), except for certain investments in qualified affordable housing projects which are accounted for under the proportional amortization method. All equity method, adjusted cost method, and proportional amortization method investments are included in other assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

2. New Accounting Standards

Adoption of New Accounting Standards



Standard	Description	Date of Adoption	Effects on the Financial Statements or Other Significant Matters
Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)” and related ASUs	Clarifies that revenue from contracts with clients 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. Adoption allows either full or modified retrospective transition. Full retrospective transition required a cumulative effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the earliest comparative period presented. Modified retrospective transition required a cumulative effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the reporting period in which the entity first applies the new guidance.	January 1, 2018	The guidance does not apply to revenue earned from the Company’s loans and securities. Accordingly, net interest revenue was not impacted. The primary impact for the Company was the capitalization on the consolidated balance sheets of sales commissions paid to employees for obtaining new contracts with clients. These capitalized costs resulted in an asset of $219 million and a related deferred tax liability of $52 million upon adoption. The asset is being amortized to expense over time as the related revenues are recognized. The Company adopted the revenue recognition guidance using the modified retrospective method for all contracts that were not completed as of January 1, 2018. Further details of the impact of adoption are included below in this Note as well as in Note 3.
ASU 2016-01, “Financial Instruments – Overall (Subtopic 825-10)” and ASU 2018-03, “Technical Corrections and Improvements to Financial Instruments – Overall (Subtopic 825-10)”	Requires: (i) equity investments to be measured at fair value, with changes in fair value recognized in net income, unless the equity method is applied or the equity investments do not have readily determinable fair values in which case a practical alternative may be elected; (ii) use of an exit price when measuring the fair value of financial instruments for disclosures; (iii) separate presentation of financial assets and liabilities by measurement category and form of instrument on the balance sheet or in the accompanying notes. Adoption requires a cumulative effect adjustment to the balance sheet as of the beginning of the year of initial application, except for certain changes that require prospective adoption.	January 1, 2018	The Company adopted this guidance on a prospective basis for its equity securities that do not have readily determinable fair values. No other significant changes resulted from adoption. Therefore, there was no material impact on the Company’s financial statements. The Company elected to use the alternative to fair value measurement for its equity securities that do not have readily determinable fair values. These equity securities will be adjusted for impairment and observable price changes of the identical or similar investments of the same issuer, as applicable. Schwab refers to this approach as the adjusted cost method. This method was applied to an immaterial amount of Community Reinvestment Act (CRA) investments included in other assets on the consolidated balance sheets.

Standard	Description	Date of Adoption	Effects on the Financial Statements or Other Significant Matters
ASU 2016-18, “Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230) – Restricted Cash a Consensus of the Emerging Issues Task Force”	Requires that the statement of cash flows explain the change during the period in the total cash and cash equivalents, including restricted cash and cash equivalents. Adoption requires retrospective presentation of the statement of cash flows to include restricted cash and cash equivalents in the beginning and ending amounts.	January 1, 2018	The Company adopted this guidance on a retrospective basis. The Company has significant amounts of restricted cash and cash equivalents due to its business as a broker-dealer. As a result of the adoption, changes in restricted cash and cash equivalents included within cash and investments segregated and on deposit for regulatory purposes in the consolidated balance sheets are now presented with changes in cash and cash equivalents throughout the consolidated statements of cash flows. The amount of restricted cash and cash equivalents is included in a separate table in the consolidated statements of cash flows.
ASU 2018-02, “Income Statement – Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income”	Permits reclassification of the impacts on certain tax affected items included in AOCI that were adjusted through income from continuing operations rather than AOCI upon the effective date of the Tax Act. Adoption provides for retrospective adoption to all periods presented and impacted by the Tax Act or as of the beginning of the period of adoption.	January 1, 2018	The Company early adopted this guidance as of the beginning of the quarter. The Company elected to reclassify the income tax effects of the Tax Act from items in AOCI into retained earnings. Adoption resulted in a reduction in AOCI and a corresponding increase in retained earnings of $33 million.

New Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted



Standard	Description	Required Date of Adoption	Effects on the Financial Statements or Other Significant Matters
ASU 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842)”	Amends the accounting for leases by lessees and lessors. The primary change from the new guidance is the recognition of right-of-use assets and lease liabilities by lessees for those leases classified as operating leases. Additional changes include accounting for lease origination and executory costs, required lessee reassessments during the lease term due to changes in circumstances, and expanded lease disclosures. Adoption requires modified retrospective transition as of the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements in which the entity first applies the new standard. Certain transition relief is permitted if elected by the entity.	January 1, 2019	The Company does not expect this guidance will have a material impact on its earnings per common share (EPS), but it will result in a gross up of the consolidated balance sheets due to recognition of right-of-use assets and lease liabilities based on the present value of remaining operating lease payments (see Note 13 in the 2017 10-K for the undiscounted rental commitments for operating leases). The Company is evaluating its adoption method due to a recently proposed ASU that provides an alternative adoption method. The Company is refining its methodology to estimate the right of use assets and lease liabilities and working on system updates to apply the lease accounting changes. The full population of contracts that may be subject to balance sheet recognition is still being evaluated, and is nearly complete. The Company has further work to perform related to disclosures.

Standard	Description	Required Date of Adoption	Effects on the Financial Statements or Other Significant Matters
ASU 2016-13, “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments”	Provides guidance for recognizing impairment of most debt instruments measured at amortized cost, including loans and held to maturity (HTM) debt securities. Requires estimating current expected credit losses (CECL) over the remaining life of an instrument or a portfolio of instruments with similar risk characteristics based on relevant information about past events, current conditions, and reasonable forecasts. The initial estimate of, and the subsequent changes in, CECL will be recognized as credit loss expense through current earnings and will be reflected as an allowance for credit losses offsetting the carrying value of the financial instrument(s) on the balance sheet. Amends the OTTI model for available for sale (AFS) debt securities by requiring the use of an allowance, rather than directly reducing the carrying value of the security, and eliminating consideration of the length of time such security has been in an unrealized loss position as a factor in concluding whether a credit loss exists. Adoption requires a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the first reporting period in which the entity applies the new guidance except that a prospective transition is required for AFS debt securities for which an OTTI has been recognized prior to the effective date.	January 1, 2020 (early adoption permitted)	The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance on its financial statements, including EPS. Initial implementation work performed to date has focused on evaluating the Company’s impacted assets, including loans and investment securities. The Company has also been evaluating its current data and system capabilities and considering additional data sources and system enhancements. Additional work to be completed includes an in-depth analysis for each impacted asset type, selection of methods, and changes to policies and procedures.
ASU 2017-08, “Receivables – Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs (Subtopic 310-20): Premium Amortization on Purchased Callable Debt Securities”	Shortens the amortization period for the premium on certain callable debt securities to the earliest call date. The amendments are applicable to any purchased individual debt security with an explicit and noncontingent call feature with a fixed price on a preset date. ASU 2017-08 does not impact the accounting for callable debt securities held at a discount. Adoption requires modified retrospective transition as of the beginning of the period of adoption through a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings.	January 1, 2019 (early adoption permitted)	While still under evaluation, the Company does not expect this guidance will have a material impact on its financial statements, including EPS.

For a summary of revenue provided by our reportable segments, see Note 17. The recognition of revenue is not impacted by the operating segment in which revenue is generated.

Net interest revenue

Net interest revenue, which is generated from financial instruments covered by various other areas of GAAP, is not within the scope of Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 606, Revenue From Contracts With Customers (ASC 606), and is included in the table above in order to reconcile to total net revenues per the condensed consolidated statement of income. Net interest revenue is the difference between interest generated on interest earning assets and interest paid on funding sources. Our primary interest earning assets include cash and cash equivalents; segregated cash and investments; margin loans, which constitute the majority of receivables from brokerage clients; investment securities; and bank loans. Revenue on interest earning assets is affected by various factors, such as the composition of assets, prevailing interest rates at the time of origination or purchase, changes in interest rates on floating rate securities, and changes in prepayment levels for mortgage related securities and loans. Fees earned on securities borrowing and lending activities, which are conducted by CS&Co on assets held in client brokerage accounts, are included in other interest revenue and expense.

Asset management and administration fees

The majority of asset management and administration fees are generated through our proprietary and third-party mutual fund and ETF offerings, as well as fee-based advisory solutions. Mutual fund and ETF service fees are charged for investment management, shareholder, and administration services provided to Schwab Funds ^® and Schwab ETFs™, as well as recordkeeping, shareholder, and administration services provided to third-party funds. Advice solutions fees are charged for brokerage and asset management services provided to advice solutions clients. Both mutual fund and ETF service fees and advice solutions fees are earned and recognized over time. Fees are generally based on a percentage of the daily value of assets under management and are collected on a monthly or quarterly basis.

Trading revenue

Substantially all trading revenue is generated through commissions earned for executing trades for clients in individual equities, options, fixed income securities, and certain third-party mutual funds and ETFs. This revenue is earned and collected when the trades are executed.

Other revenue

Other revenue includes order flow revenue, other service fees, software fees from our portfolio management solutions, exchange processing fees, and nonrecurring gains. Generally, the most significant portion of other revenue is order flow revenue, which are payments received from execution venues to which CS&Co sends equity and option orders. Order flow revenue is recognized at the point-in-time that the trades are executed.

Capitalized contract costs

Deferred contract costs relate to sales commissions paid to employees for obtaining contracts with clients and are included in other assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. These costs are amortized to expense on a straight-line basis over a period that is consistent with how the related revenue is recognized. At June 30, 2018 and January 1, 2018, we had $239 million and $219 million of deferred contract costs, respectively. Amortization expense related to deferred contract costs was $11 million and $22 million for the second quarter and first six months of 2018 , respectively, which was recorded in compensation and benefits expense on the condensed consolidated statements of income.

Contract balances

Receivables from contracts with customers within the scope of ASC 606 were $353 million at January 1, 2018 and $352 million at June 30, 2018 and were recorded in other assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Schwab does not have any other significant contract assets or contract liability balances as of June 30, 2018 and January 1, 2018.

Unsatisfied performance obligations

We do not have any unsatisfied performance obligations other than those that are subject to an elective practical expedient under ASC 606. The practical expedient applies to and is elected for contracts where we recognize revenue at the amount to which we have the right to invoice for services performed.

At June 30, 2018 , substantially all securities in the investment portfolios were rated investment grade. 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 or U.S. government-sponsored enterprises.

Management evaluates whether investment securities are other-than-temporarily impaired (OTTI) on a quarterly basis as described in Note 2 in the 2017 Form 10-K. No amounts were recognized as OTTI in earnings or other comprehensive income in 2018 or 2017. As of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 , Schwab did not hold any securities on which OTTI was previously recognized.

Credit Quality

In addition to monitoring delinquency, Schwab monitors the credit quality of First Mortgages and HELOCs by stratifying the portfolios by the following:


•	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).

Borrowers’ FICO scores are provided by an independent third-party credit reporting service and were last updated in June 2018. The Origination LTV and Estimated Current LTV 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.

At June 30, 2018 , First Mortgage loans of $9.2 billion had adjustable interest rates. These mortgages have initial fixed interest rates for three to ten years and interest rates that adjust annually thereafter. Approximately 32% of the balance of these mortgages consisted of loans with interest-only payment terms. The interest rates on approximately 63% of the balance of these interest-only loans are not scheduled to reset for three or more years. Schwab’s mortgage loans do not include interest terms described as temporary introductory rates below current market rates.

The 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 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, 2018	Balance
Converted to an amortizing loan by period end	$	537
Within 1 year	342
> 1 year – 3 years	152
> 3 years – 5 years	155
> 5 years	512
Total	$	1,698

At June 30, 2018 , $1.4 billion of the HELOC portfolio was secured by second liens on the associated properties. Second lien mortgage loans typically possess a higher degree of credit risk given the subordination to the first lien holder in the event of default. In addition to the credit monitoring activities described previously, Schwab also monitors credit risk by reviewing the delinquency status of the first lien loan on the associated property. At June 30, 2018 , the borrowers on approximately 49% of HELOC loan balances outstanding only paid the minimum amount due.

6. Variable Interest Entities

As of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 , all of Schwab’s involvement with variable interest entities (VIEs) is through CSB’s Community Reinvestment Act-related investments and most of those related to Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) investments. As part of CSB’s community reinvestment initiatives, CSB invests with other institutional investors in funds that make equity investments in multifamily affordable housing properties. CSB receives tax credits and other tax benefits for these investments. CSB’s LIHTC investments are accounted for using the proportional amortization method, which amortizes the cost of the investment over the period in which the investor expects to receive tax credits and other tax benefits, and the resulting amortization is included in taxes on income on the consolidated statements of income.

Aggregate assets, liabilities, and maximum exposure to loss

The aggregate assets, liabilities, and maximum exposure to loss from those VIEs in which Schwab holds a variable interest, but as to which we have concluded it is not the primary beneficiary, are summarized in the table below:



	June 30, 2018						December 31, 2017
	Aggregate assets		Aggregate liabilities		Maximum exposure to loss		Aggregate assets		Aggregate liabilities		Maximum exposure to loss
LIHTC investments ⁽¹⁾	$	339	$	208	$	339	$	304	$	203	$	304
Other CRA investments ⁽²⁾	68		—		119		69		—		125
Total	$	407	$	208	$	458	$	373	$	203	$	429

⁽¹⁾ Aggregate assets and aggregate liabilities are included in other assets and accrued expenses and other liabilities, respectively, on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

⁽²⁾ Other CRA investments are recorded using either the adjusted cost method, equity method, or as HTM securities. Aggregate assets are included in other assets, HTM securities, or bank loans – net on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Schwab’s maximum exposure to loss would result from the loss of the investments, including any committed amounts. During the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 , Schwab did not provide or intend to provide financial or other support to the VIEs that it was not contractually required to provide. CSB’s funding of these remaining commitments is dependent upon the occurrence of certain conditions, and CSB expects to pay substantially all of these commitments between 2018 and 2021 .

Short-term borrowings: CSB maintains a secured credit facility with the FHLB. Amounts available under this facility are dependent on the value of CSB’s First Mortgages, HELOCs, and the fair value of certain of CSB’s investment securities that are pledged as collateral. As of June 30, 2018 , the collateral pledged by CSB provided a total borrowing capacity of $30.3 billion of which no amounts were outstanding. As of December 31, 2017 , the collateral pledged by CSB provided a total borrowing capacity of $32.3 billion , of which $15.0 billion , was outstanding.

As a condition of the FHLB borrowings, CSB is required to hold FHLB stock, which was recorded in other assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The investment in FHLB was $17 million at June 30, 2018 and $405 million at December 31, 2017 .

9. Commitments and Contingencies

Loan Portfolio: CSB provides a co-branded loan origination program for CSB clients (the Program) with Quicken Loans, Inc. (Quicken Loans ^® ). Pursuant to the Program, Quicken Loans originates and services First Mortgages and HELOCs for CSB clients. Under the Program, CSB purchases certain First Mortgages and HELOCs that are originated by Quicken Loans. CSB purchased First Mortgages of $594 million and $683 million during the second quarters of 2018 and 2017 , respectively, and $1.1 billion and $1.3 billion during the first six months of 2018 and 2017, respectively. Schwab purchased HELOCs with commitments of $100 million and $111 million during the second quarters of 2018 and 2017 , respectively, and $207 million and $229 million during the first six months of 2018 and 2017, respectively.

The Company’s commitments to extend credit on bank lines of credit and to purchase First Mortgages are as follows:



	June 30, 2018		December 31, 2017
Commitments to extend credit related to unused HELOCs, PALs, and other lines of credit	$	10,726	$	10,060
Commitments to purchase First Mortgage loans	309		308
Total	$	11,035	$	10,368

Guarantees and indemnifications: Schwab 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. We partially satisfy the margin requirements by arranging unsecured standby letter of credit agreements (LOCs), in favor of the Options Clearing Corporation, which are issued by several banks. At June 30, 2018 , the aggregate face amount of these LOCs totaled $225 million . There were no funds drawn under any of these LOCs at June 30, 2018 . In connection with its securities lending activities, Schwab is required to provide collateral to certain brokerage clients. The Company satisfies the collateral requirements by providing cash as collateral.

Schwab 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. Schwab’s

(Unaudited)

liability under these arrangements is not quantifiable and may exceed the cash and securities it has posted as collateral. The potential requirement for the Company to make payments under these arrangements is remote. Accordingly, no liability has been recognized for these guarantees.

Legal contingencies: Schwab 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.

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 reasonably possible to estimate 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.

Schwab 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.

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 alleged violations of state law and federal securities law in connection with the fund’s investment policy, named CSIM, Schwab Investments (registrant and issuer of the fund’s shares), and certain current and former fund trustees 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 fundholder vote. Plaintiff seeks unspecified compensatory and rescission damages, unspecified equitable and injunctive relief, costs, and attorneys’ fees on behalf of a putative class of investors who held shares as of August 31, 2007, and a putative class of investors who purchased the shares between September 1, 2017 and February 27, 2009. Plaintiff’s federal securities law claim and certain of plaintiff’s state law claims were dismissed. On August 8, 2011, the court dismissed plaintiff’s remaining claims with prejudice. Plaintiff 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. Plaintiff filed a fourth amended complaint on June 25, 2015, and in decisions issued October 6, 2015 and February 23, 2016, the court dismissed all claims with prejudice. Plaintiff has appealed to the Ninth Circuit, where the case remains pending.

Crago Order Routing Litigation : On July 13, 2016, a securities class action lawsuit was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California on behalf of a putative class of customers executing equity orders through CS&Co. The lawsuit names CS&Co and CSC as defendants and alleges that an agreement under which CS&Co routed orders to UBS Securities LLC between July 13, 2011 and December 31, 2014 violated CS&Co’s duty to seek best execution. Plaintiffs seek unspecified damages, interest, injunctive and equitable relief, and attorneys’ fees and costs. After a first amended complaint was dismissed with leave to amend, plaintiffs filed a second amended complaint on August 14, 2017. Defendants again moved to dismiss, and in a decision issued December 5, 2017, the court denied the motion. Defendants have answered the complaint to deny all allegations, and intend to vigorously contest the lawsuit.

10. Financial Instruments Subject to Off-Balance Sheet Credit Risk

Resale 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 at or 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 collateral provided under these resale agreements is utilized to meet obligations under broker-dealer client protection rules, which place limitations on our 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. Schwab’s resale agreements are not subject to master netting arrangements.

Securities lending: Schwab loans brokerage client securities temporarily to other brokers and clearing houses 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, we may be exposed to the risk of acquiring the securities at prevailing market prices in order to satisfy our client obligations. Schwab mitigates this risk by requiring credit approvals for counterparties, monitoring the fair value of securities loaned, and requiring additional cash as collateral when necessary. We also borrow securities from other broker-dealers to fulfill short sales by brokerage clients and deliver cash to the lender in exchange for the securities. The fair value of these borrowed securities was $472 million and $215 million at June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 , respectively. All of our securities lending transactions are through a program with a clearing organization, which guarantees the return of cash to us and is subject to enforceable master netting arrangements with other broker-dealers; however, we do not net securities lending transactions. Therefore, the securities loaned and securities borrowed are presented gross in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

11. Fair Values of Assets and Liabilities

Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis

Schwab’s assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis include certain cash equivalents, certain investments segregated and on deposit for regulatory purposes, other securities owned, and AFS securities. The Company uses the market approach 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. We generally obtain prices from at least three independent pricing sources for assets recorded at fair value.

Our 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. We compare the prices obtained from the primary independent pricing service to the prices obtained from the additional independent pricing sources to determine if the price obtained from the primary independent pricing service is reasonable. Schwab 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.

For a description of the fair value hierarchy and Schwab’s fair value methodologies, including the use of independent third-party pricing services, see Note 2 in the 2017 Form 10-K. We did not transfer any assets or liabilities between Level 1, Level 2, or Level 3 during the six months ended June 30, 2018 , or the year ended December 31, 2017 . In addition, the Company did not adjust prices received from the primary independent third-party pricing service at June 30, 2018 or December 31, 2017 .

14. Taxes on Income

On December 22, 2017, the Tax Act was signed into law. Among other things, the Tax Act lowered the federal corporate income tax rate from 35% to 21%, effective for tax years including or commencing January 1, 2018. Schwab’s effective tax rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 was 23.4% and 22.7% , respectively, compared to 36.7% and 35.0% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 , respectively, resulting from the impact of the Tax Act of 2017.

Also as a result of the Tax Act, Schwab recognized a $46 million one-time non-cash charge to taxes on income in the fourth quarter of 2017 associated with the remeasurement of net deferred tax assets and other tax adjustments related to the Tax Act. While we were able to make a reasonable estimate of the impact of the reduction in the corporate tax rate in the fourth quarter of 2017, our accounting for various elements of the Tax Act may be affected by clarifications of the Tax Act and other related analysis.

During the second quarter of 2018, Schwab concluded its analysis of the effect of bonus depreciation that allows for immediate expensing of qualified property related to the Tax Act. The impact of the true-up adjustment from this analysis was determined to be immaterial. We are continuing to gather additional information to complete the accounting for the remaining estimated items, including the state tax effect of adjustments made to federal temporary differences, and expect to complete the accounting within the prescribed measurement period. As such, the impact of the Tax Act is an estimate pending further information and the analysis noted.

As of January 1, 2018, Schwab adopted new accounting guidance that decreased AOCI and increased retained earnings by $33 million for the reclassification of certain impacts of the Tax Act as described in Note 2.

At June 30, 2018 , CSB is considered well capitalized (the highest category) under its regulatory capital rules. At June 30, 2018 , both CSC’s and CSB’s capital levels exceeded the fully implemented capital conservation buffer requirement. Certain events, such as growth in bank deposits and regulatory discretion, could adversely affect our ability to meet future capital requirements.

In late 2017, Schwab acquired a federal savings bank charter and changed the name to Charles Schwab Signature Bank (CSSB). At June 30, 2018 , CSSB’s balance sheet consisted primarily of investment securities with total assets of $9.6 billion . CSSB is subject to similar regulatory guidelines and requirements, and seeks to maintain a Tier 1 Leverage Ratio similar to CSB.

Net capital and net capital requirements for CS&Co are as follows:



	June 30, 2018		December 31, 2017
Net Capital	$	2,323	$	2,118
Minimum net capital required	0.250		0.250
2% of aggregate debit balances	475		435
Net Capital in excess of required net capital	$	1,848	$	1,683

In accordance with the SEC Customer Protection Rule, CS&Co had portions of its cash and investments segregated for the exclusive benefit of clients at June 30, 2018 . The SEC Customer Protection Rule requires broker-dealers to segregate client fully paid securities and cash balances not collateralizing margin positions and not swept to money market funds or bank

deposit accounts. Amounts included in cash and investments segregated and on deposit for regulatory purposes represent actual balances on deposit. Cash and cash equivalents included in cash and investments segregated and on deposit for regulatory purposes are presented as part of Schwab’s cash balances in the consolidated statements of cash flows.

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 in Dollars 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 May 31, 2019, 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 May 31, 2019, 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 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 May 31, 2019, 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 Loans made by each Lender shall be evidenced by one or more accounts or records maintained by such Lender and by the Agent in the ordinary course of business. The accounts or records maintained by the Agent and each Lender shall be conclusive absent manifest error of the amount of the Loans made by the Lenders to the Borrower and the interest and payments thereon. Any failure to so record or any error in doing so shall not, however, limit or otherwise affect the obligation of the Borrower hereunder to pay any amount owing with respect to the Loans. In the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by any Lender and the accounts and records of the Agent in respect of such matters, the accounts and records of the Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error. Upon the request of any Lender, within ten Business Days after such

Lender becomes a party to this Agreement, made through the Agent, the Borrower shall execute and deliver to such Lender (through the Agent) promissory notes of the Borrower (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 such Lender in the principal amount of its Commitment, bearing interest as hereinafter specified, which shall evidence such Lender’s Revolving Loans and Term Loans, respectively, in addition to such accounts or records. Each Revolving Note and Term Note requested at least five Business Days prior to the date hereof shall be dated the date hereof and shall be delivered in accordance with Section 4.1(a ). Each other Revolving Note and Term Note shall be dated, and shall be delivered to each requesting Lender, not later than ten Business Days after the request therefor is delivered to the Borrower; provided that any failure to timely deliver any Note shall not constitute a Default hereunder and shall not excuse any Lender from the performance of its funding obligations hereunder. 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 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:

(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 May 31, 2019, 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 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 :

(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:

(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 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 May 29. 2020.

(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 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.

(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 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 1, 2018.

(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, 2018 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 May 31, 2019, 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 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 May 31, 2019. 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 May 31, 2019 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 “May 31, 2019”, and “May 29, 2020” (and any prior extension thereof pursuant to this Section 2.11 ) also shall automatically be correspondingly extended for 364 days.

(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 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 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 . Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Section 8 or otherwise) shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Agent as follows: first , to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Agent hereunder; second , as the Borrower may request (so long as no Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Agent; third , if so determined by the Agent and the Borrower, to be held in a deposit account and released pro rata in order to satisfy such Defaulting Lender’s potential future funding obligations with respect to Loans under this Agreement; fourth , to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; fifth , so long as no Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrower against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and sixth , to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share, and (y) such Loans were made at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 4.2 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of all Non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of such Defaulting Lender until such time as all Loans are held by the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the Commitments. Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.

(iii) Certain Fees. No Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive any Commitment Fee for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender

(and the Borrower shall not be required to pay any such fee that otherwise would have been required to have been paid to that Defaulting Lender).

(b) Defaulting Lender Cure . If the Borrower and the Agent agree in writing that a Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, the Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein, that Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase at par that portion of outstanding Loans of the other Lenders or take such other actions as the Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Loans to be held pro rata by the Lenders in accordance with the Commitments, whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrower while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided , further , that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.

3. PAYMENT .

3.1 Repayment .

(a) The Term Credit . The Borrower shall repay to the Agent for the account of the Lenders the aggregate principal amount of the Term Loans outstanding on each Term Loan Maturity Date, as applicable.

(b) The Revolving Credit . The Borrower shall repay to the Agent, for the account of the Lenders, on the Revolving Termination Date the aggregate principal amount of Revolving Loans outstanding on such date.

3.3 Optional Prepayment . Subject to Section 3.7 , the Borrower shall be entitled at any time or from time to time, upon not less than one (1) Business Day irrevocable notice to the Agent, to ratably prepay Loans in whole or in part in minimum amounts of $10,000,000 without premium or penalty. Each notice of payment shall specify the date and aggregate principal amount of any such prepayment and the Type(s) of Loans to be repaid.

If such Notice is given by the Borrower, the Borrower shall make such prepayment and the payment amount, specified in such Notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein, together with all accrued interest to each such date on the amount prepaid, and any amounts required in accordance with Section 3.7 hereof as a result of such prepayment.

3.4 Taxes/Net Payments . All payments by Borrower hereunder and under any Revolving Note and Term Note to the Agent or any Lender shall be made without set-off or counterclaim and in such amounts as may be necessary in order that all such payments, after deduction or withholding for or on account of any present or future taxes, levies, imposts, duties or other charges of whatsoever nature imposed by any Governmental Authority or taxing authority thereof (collectively, “ Taxes ”), shall not be less than the amounts otherwise specified to be paid under this Agreement. The Borrower shall pay all Taxes when due and shall promptly send to the Lender original tax receipts or copies thereof certified by the relevant taxing authority together with such other documentary evidence with respect to such payments as may be required from time to time by the Agent. If the Borrower fails to pay any Taxes to the appropriate taxing authorities when due or fails to remit to the Agent or Lender any such original tax receipts or certified copies thereof as aforesaid or other required documentary evidence, the Borrower shall indemnify the Agent or Lender within thirty (30) days of demand by the Lender or Agent for any taxes, interest or penalties that may become payable by the Agent or Lender as a result of such failure.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) the Borrower shall not be liable for the payment of any tax on or measured by the net income of any Lender pursuant to the laws of the jurisdiction where an office of such Lender making any loan hereunder is located or does business, and (ii) the foregoing obligation to gross up the payments to any Lender so as not to deduct or offset any withholding taxes or Taxes paid or payable by the Borrower with respect to any payments to such Lender shall not apply (x) to any payment to any Lender which is a “foreign corporation, partnership or trust” within the meaning of the Code if such Lender is not, on the date hereof (or on the date it becomes a Lender under this Agreement pursuant to the assignment terms of this Agreement), or on any date hereafter that it is a Lender under this Agreement, entitled to submit either a Form W-8BEN or any successor form thereto (relating to such Lender and entitling it to a complete exemption from withholding on all interest to be received by it hereunder in respect of the Loans) or Form W-8ECI or any successor form thereto (relating to all interest to be received by such Lender hereunder in respect of the Loans) of the U.S. Department of Treasury, (y) to any item referred to in the preceding sentence that would not have been imposed but for the failure by such Lender to comply with any applicable certification, information, documentation or other reporting requirements concerning the nationality, residence, identity or connections of such Lender with the United States if such compliance is required by statute or regulation of the United States as a precondition to relief or exemption from such item or (z) to any taxes imposed pursuant to FATCA.

3.5 Illegality .

(a) If any Lender determines that the introduction of any Requirement of Law, or any change in any Requirement of Law, or in the interpretation or administration of any Requirement of Law, has made it unlawful, or that any central bank or other Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its applicable Lending Office to make Eurodollar Rate Loans, then, on notice thereof by the Lender to the Borrower through the Agent, any obligation of that Lender to make Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be suspended until the

Lender notifies the Agent and the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist.

(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. If the Borrower is required to so prepay any Eurodollar Rate Loan, then concurrently with such prepayment, the Borrower shall borrow from the affected Lender, in the amount of such repayment, a Base Rate Loan.

(c) If the obligation of any Lender to make or maintain Eurodollar Rate Loans has been so terminated or suspended, the Borrower may elect, by giving notice to the Lender through the Agent that all Loans which would otherwise be made by the Lender as Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be instead Base Rate Loans.

(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.

3.6 Increased Costs and Reduction of Return .

(a) If any Lender determines that, due to either (i) the introduction of or any change (other than any change by way of imposition of or increase in reserve requirements included in the calculation of the Eurodollar Rate) in or in the interpretation of any law or regulation, or (ii) the compliance by that Lender with any guideline or request from any central bank or other Governmental Authority (whether or not having the force of law), there shall be any increase in the cost to such Lender of agreeing to make or making, funding or maintaining any Eurodollar Rate Loan, then the Borrower shall be liable for, and shall from time to time, upon demand (with a copy of such demand to be sent to the Agent), pay to the Agent for the account of such Lender, additional amounts as are sufficient to compensate such Lender for such increased costs.

(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 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.

3.7 Funding Losses . The Borrower shall reimburse each Lender and hold each Lender harmless from any loss or expense which the Lender may sustain or incur as a consequence of:

(a) the failure of the Borrower to make on a timely basis any payment of principal of any Eurodollar Rate Loan;

(b) the failure of the Borrower to borrow, continue or convert a Loan after the Borrower has given (or is deemed to have given) a Notice of Borrowing or a Notice of Conversion/Continuation;

(d) the prepayment or other payment (including after acceleration thereof) of any Eurodollar Rate Loan on a day that is not the last day of the relevant Interest Period; or

(e) the automatic conversion under Section 2.5 of any Eurodollar Rate Loan to a Base Rate Loan on a day that is not the last day of the relevant Interest Period,

including any such loss or expense arising from the liquidation or reemployment of funds obtained by it to maintain its Eurodollar Rate Loans or from fees payable to terminate the deposits from which such funds were obtained. 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.

3.9 Substitution of Lenders . Upon the receipt by the Borrower from any Lender (an “Affected Lender”) of a claim for compensation under Section 3.6 , or if any Lender is a Defaulting Lender (an Affected Lender or a Defaulting Lender is a “Replaceable Lender”), the Borrower may: (i) request the Replaceable Lender to use its best efforts to obtain a replacement bank or financial institution satisfactory to the Borrower to acquire and assume all or a ratable part of all of such Replaceable Lender’s Loans and Commitment (a “Replacement Lender”); (ii) request one or more of the other Lenders to acquire and assume all or part of such Replaceable

Lender’s Loans and Commitment (but no other Lender shall be required to do so); or (iii) designate a Replacement Lender. Any such designation of a Replacement Lender under clause (ii) or (iii) shall be subject to the prior written consent of the Agent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld).

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.

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.

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:

(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.

(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.

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.

10.2 Notices .

(a) All notices, requests and other communications shall be either (i) in writing (including, unless the context expressly otherwise provides, by facsimile transmission, provided that any matter transmitted by the Borrower by facsimile shall be immediately confirmed by a telephone call to the recipient at the number specified on Schedule 10.2 ) or (ii) as and to the extent set forth in clause (d) below, by electronic mail.

(b) All such notices, requests and communications shall, when transmitted by overnight delivery, faxed or e-mailed, be effective when delivered for overnight (next-day) delivery, transmitted in legible form by facsimile machine (provided that the sender has retained its facsimile machine-generated confirmation of the receipt of such fax by the recipient’s facsimile machine) or transmitted by e-mail (provided that the e-mail was sent to the e-mail address provided by the recipient and that the e-mail was not returned to the sender as undeliverable), respectively, or if mailed, upon the third Business Day after the date deposited into the U.S. mail, or if delivered, upon delivery; except that notices pursuant to Section 2 or 9 shall not be effective until actually received by the Agent.

(c) The agreement of the Agent and the Lenders herein to receive certain notices by telephone, facsimile or e-mail is solely for the convenience of the Borrower, the Agent and the Lenders. The Agent and the Lenders shall be entitled to rely on the authority of any Person purporting to be a Person who is named in the then-current certificate delivered pursuant to subsection 4.1(e) hereof as authorized to execute Borrowing Advices (each an “ Authorized Person ”) and the Lenders shall not have any liability to the Borrower or other Person on account of any action taken or not taken by the Agent or the Lenders in reliance upon such telephonic, facsimile or e-mail notice, provided the Agent and the Lenders reasonably believe such Person to be an Authorized Person. The obligation of the Borrower to repay the Loans shall not be affected in any way to any extent by any failure by the Agent and the Lenders to receive written confirmation of any telephonic, facsimile or e-mail notice or the receipt by the

Agent and the Lenders of a confirmation which is at variance with the terms understood by the Agent and the Lenders to be contained in the telephonic, facsimile or e-mail notice.

(d) The compliance certificate described in Section 6.2 shall be delivered to the Agent by the Borrower by mail or overnight delivery. Except for the compliance certificate described in Section 6.2 , materials required to be delivered pursuant to Section 6.2 shall be delivered to the Agent in an electronic medium format reasonably acceptable to the Agent by e-mail at oploanswebadmin@citi.com. The Borrower agrees that the Agent may make such materials (collectively, the “Communications”) available to the Lenders by posting such materials on Debt Domain or a substantially similar electronic transmission system (collectively, the “ Platform ”). 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, if any, 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). The Borrower and each of the Lenders acknowledges that (i) the distribution of material through an electronic medium is not necessarily secure and that there are confidentiality and other risks associated with such distribution, (ii) the Platform is provided “as is” and “as available” and (iii) neither the Agent nor any of its Affiliates warrants the accuracy, adequacy or completeness of the Communications or the Platform and each expressly disclaims liability for errors or omissions in the Communications or the Platform (provided, as to such disclaimer, that the Agent and its Affiliates have not been grossly negligent or engaged in any willful misconduct in respect of the Platform). No warranty of any kind, express, implied or statutory, including, without limitation, any warranty of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement of third party rights or freedom from viruses or other code defects, is made by the Agent or any of its Affiliates in connection with the Platform.

(e) Each Lender agrees that notice to it (as provided in the next sentence) (a “ Notice ”) specifying that any Communications have been posted to the Platform shall constitute effective delivery of such information, documents or other materials to such Lender for purposes of this Agreement. 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 .

10.3 No Waiver-Cumulative Remedies . 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.

10.4 Costs and Expenses . The Borrower shall:

(a) whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, pay or reimburse Citibank including in its capacity as Agent and Lender within five Business Days after demand, subject to subsection 4.1(g) for all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Citibank including in its capacity as Agent and Lender in connection with the development, preparation, delivery, administration and execution of, and any amendment, supplement, waiver or modification to (in each case, whether or not consummated), this Agreement, any Loan Document and any other documents prepared in connection herewith or therewith, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, including reasonable Attorney Costs incurred by Citibank (including in its capacity as Agent and Lender with respect thereto); and

(b) pay or reimburse the Agent, the Arrangers and each Lender within five Business Days after demand (subject to subsection 4.1(g) ) for all reasonable costs and expenses (including reasonable Attorney Costs) incurred by them in connection with the enforcement, attempted enforcement, or preservation of any rights or remedies under this Agreement or any other Loan Document during the existence of an Event of Default or after acceleration of the Loans (including in connection with any “workout” or restructuring regarding the Loans, and including in any Insolvency Proceeding or appellate proceeding). 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.

10.8 Assignments, Participations Etc .

(a) (i) Any Lender may, with the written consent of the Agent and the Borrower, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed (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.

(c) If requested by the Assignee and/or the Assignor, 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, any 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 .

The Agent, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices in New Castle, Delaware a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance permitted by subparagraph (a) of this Section 10.8 and delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts (and stated interest) of the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “ Assignment Register ”). The entries in the Assignment Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Agent and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Assignment Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The Assignment Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(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 any 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 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 Loans and/or the Term Loans, 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 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. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement by telecopier, email or other electronic transmission shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.

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 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 Arrangers, 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.

10.15 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 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 law, 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.

BORROWER’S OPINION OF COUNSEL

[Arnold & Porter Kaye Scholer LLP Letterhead]

[Date]

Citibank, N.A., as Agent

___________________________


Re:	Credit Agreement (364-Day Commitment), dated June 1, 2018, 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 1, 2018 (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 1, 2018 (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.

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) the 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;

(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

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.

Very truly yours,

⁽¹⁾ The ratios of earnings to fixed charges and earnings to fixed charges and preferred stock dividends and other 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 property, equipment and software 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 and other, 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 and other amounts represent the pre-tax earnings that would be required to pay the dividends on outstanding preferred stock and undistributed earnings and dividends allocated to non-vested restricted stock units.
