Power of Attorney Authorization and Agreement
(including equities and options); I will not rely
on Schwab for this purpose and, unless (1)
required by applicable law, or (2) a Schwab
representative gives advice directly to me or
Agent that is clearly identified as a Schwab
recommendation for me to enter into a
particular transaction or to buy or sell a
particular security, Schwab has no
responsibility for any such determination;
• Schwab is not acting as a fiduciary;
• I (and not Schwab) am responsible for
investigating and selecting Agent;
• Agent is not affiliated with or controlled or
employed by Schwab, and Schwab has not
approved, recommended or endorsed Agent;
• Agent, and not Schwab, is solely responsible
for determining if Agent is required to be
registered as an Investment Advisor with a
state agency or the Securities and Exchange
Commission (SEC). Registration rules vary by
state. I agree that it is Agent's responsibility,
and not Schwab's, to check his/her state's
applicable rules;
• Unless required by applicable law, Schwab has
no duty to review, supervise or monitor any
investment decision, trading activity or
transaction by Agent in my Account; and
• Schwab reserves the right, in its sole
discretion, to no longer honor instructions for
Agent and will notify me if it chooses to do so.
In addition, I have investigated the business
experience, qualifications and reputation of my
Agent and am satisfied with the experience,
qualifications and reputation of my Agent.
I understand that Schwab has not provided any
advice to me regarding this Power of Attorney,
and if there is anything about this Power of
Attorney that I do not understand, I should
consult with my attorney for an explanation.
Indemnification. I hereby ratify and confirm any
and all transactions, trades or dealings effected
in and for my Schwab account by my Agent, and
I agree to indemnify and hold harmless Schwab,
its affiliates, and their directors, officers,
employees and agents from and against all
claims, actions, judgments, settlement amounts,
costs and liabilities, including attorneys' fees,
arising out of or relating to:
• their reliance on this Power of Attorney;
• Schwab's execution of Agent's instructions; and
• Schwab's execution of disbursement
instructions received from Agent (FPOA and
Authorized Check User only).
Furthermore, I agree to indemnify and hold
Schwab harmless from, and to pay Schwab
promptly upon demand for, any and all losses or
financial obligations which may arise from the
acts or omissions of the Agent with respect to
my Account. I also agree that since Schwab will
not review, supervise or monitor trading by the
Agent in my Account, Schwab will not be liable
and I will not attempt to hold Schwab liable for
any trade or decision made by the Agent whom I
have selected, regardless of whether or not any
such trade or decision was specifically
authorized by me.
Termination of Authority. This Power of Attorney,
authorization and indemnification will remain in
effect until Schwab is notified in writing of my
death, mental disability, incompetence or
incapacity; until I have revoked it by written
notification; or until my agent has resigned by
written notification and such notification is
received by Schwab. Such revocation will not
affect my obligations resulting from transactions
initiated prior to Schwab's receipt of notice of
revocation.
Transfer Agent (LPOA and FPOA only). To induce
any transfer agent or other third party to act
hereunder, I hereby agree that any transfer agent
or other third party receiving a duly executed
copy or facsimile of this Power of Attorney may
act upon it, and that revocation or termination
hereof shall be ineffective as to such transfer
agent or other third party unless and until actual
notice or knowledge of such revocation or
termination shall have been received by such
transfer agent or other third party, and I, for
myself and for my heirs, executors, legal
representatives and assigns, hereby agree to
indemnify and hold harmless any such transfer
agent or third party from and against any and all
claims that may arise against such transfer
agent or other third party by reason of such
transfer agent or third party having relied on this
instrument.
Assignment. This Power of Attorney
supplements and in no way limits or restricts
rights which Schwab may have under existing
law or any other agreement with me. This Power
of Attorney will bind my heirs, executors,
administrators, successors and assigns, and will
benefit Schwab's successors, affiliates and
assigns.
Governing Law. The laws of the state of
California (but not the choice of law doctrines),
as applied to agreements signed and performed
in California, shall apply and bind the parties in
any and all questions arising under this Power of
Attorney, including questions of validity,
interpretation and performance, except that the
arbitration agreement in Section 4 shall be
governed by the Federal Arbitration Act.
Arbitration. I agree to the arbitration provisions
in Section 4, which also includes required
arbitration disclosures.
Section 3. Agent's Terms and Conditions
The undersigned Agent and Charles Schwab &
Co., Inc. ("Schwab") agree that the authority
conferred on the Agent by the Power of Attorney
executed by the Account Holder ("Customer")
shall be exercised in accordance with the
following terms and conditions ("Agreement"):
Authorization to Make Transactions in the
Customer's Account. Agent may give instructions
and take actions with respect to the Account
pursuant to the Power of Attorney. Customer may
revoke the Power of Attorney at any time by giving
written notice to Schwab. Customer will have
concurrent full authority at all times to take
actions and place orders for the Account. Agent
agrees not to take any actions that exceed the
authority under the Power of Attorney or any other
agreement between the Agent and the Customer.

monitoring any investment decision or trading
activity in a Customer's account. Customer and
Agent are responsible for determining the
nature, potential value and suitability for
Customer of any particular investment strategy,
transaction (including futures transactions) or
security (including equities and options); Agent
will not rely on Schwab for this purpose and,
unless (1) required by applicable law, or (2) a
Schwab representative gives advice directly to
Agent that is clearly identified as a Schwab
recommendation for Agent to enter into a
particular transaction or to buy or sell a
particular security, Schwab has no responsibility
for any such determination.
Trade Confirmations and Account Statements.
Unless the Customer directs otherwise, Schwab
will not automatically send duplicate trade
confirmations and account statements to the
Agent.
Agent's Relationship to Schwab. If appointed
FPOA or LPOA, Agent hereby represents that
he/she is familiar with and has reviewed the
investment goals, guidelines and objectives of
the Customer and will invest in a way that is
consistent with the Customer's stated goals and
objectives. Such Agent will not represent to
Customer that Schwab and Agent are affiliated
or have any relationship other than that
described in this Agreement; that Schwab
endorses or recommends the Agent; that
Schwab provides any advice other than that
described in this Agreement; that Schwab
participates in or reviews Agent's trading
decisions; or that Schwab manages, supervises
or monitors trading in the Account.
Any Agent agrees to immediately notify Schwab
of the Customer's death or any termination or
revocation of the Power of Attorney and/or
modification of the Power of Attorney; Agent also
agrees to notify Schwab of any incapacity,
