Common use of Interest Charges Clause in Contracts

Interest Charges. Apex Clearing will charge interest on a daily basis on the credit extended to you. The daily interest charges are calculated by multiplying your "daily adjusted debit balance" by the "daily margin interest rate." Generally speaking, your daily adjusted debit balance is the actual settled debit balance in your Margin and Short Account, increased by the value of securities held short and reduced by the amount of any settled credit balance carried in your Cash Account. Apex Clearing calculates your daily-adjusted debit balance each day by adjusting your previous day's balance by any debits and credits to your account and by changes in the value of short positions. If your daily-adjusted debit balance is reduced because you deposit a check or other item that is later returned to Apex Clearing unpaid, Apex Clearing may adjust your account to reflect interest charges you have incurred. Apex Clearing reserves the right to charge interest on debit balances in the Cash Account. Periodically, Apex Clearing will send you a comprehensive statement showing the activity in your account, including applicable interest charges, interest rates and adjusted daily debit balances. Daily Margin Interest Rate The "daily margin interest rate" is based on a 360-day year. It is calculated for each day by dividing the applicable margin interest rate shown in the table below by 360. Note that the use of a 360-day year results in a higher effective rate of interest than if a year of 365 days were used. Apex Clearing sets the Base Rate at its discretion with reference to commercially recognized interest rates, industry conditions relating to the extension of margin credit and general credit market conditions. Your margin interest rate will be adjusted automatically and without notice to reflect any change in the Base Rate. If your interest rate increases for any reason other than a change in the Base Rate, Apex Clearing will give you written notice at least 30 days prior to that change. Compounding Interest Charges Apex Clearing compounds interest on a daily basis. Interest charges will accrue to your account each day. Apex Clearing will include the charges in the next day's opening debit balance and charge interest accordingly. The interest rates described above do not reflect compounding of unpaid interest charges; the effective interest rate, taking into effect such compounding, will be higher. Initial Margin Requirements The Federal Reserve Board and various stock exchanges determine margin loan rules and regulations. When you purchase securities on margin, you agree to depos it the required initial equity by the settlement date and to maintain your equity at the required levels. The maximum amount Apex Clearing currently may loan for common stock (equity) securities is 50% of the value of marginable securities purchased in your Margin and Short Account; different requirements apply to nonequity securities, such as bonds or options. If the market value of stock held as collateral increases after you have met the initial margin requirements, your available credit may increase proportionately. Conversely, if the market value decreases, your available credit may proportionately decrease. Initial margin requirements may change without prior notice. Apex Clearing may impose anytime and without prior notice more stringent requirements on positions that in our sole discretion involve higher levels of risk; for example, higher limits may apply for thinly traded, speculative or volatile securities, or concentrated positions of securities. You may purchase only certain securities on margin or use them as collateral in your Margin and Short Account. Most stocks traded on national securities exchanges, and some over-the-counter (OTC) securities are marginable. At our discretion, Apex Clearing reserves the right not to extend credit on any security. Equity securities with a market value of less than $3 per share may not be purchased on margin or deposited as margin collateral. If the market value of a security drops below $3.00 per share, the security will not be assigned any value as collateral to secure your margin obligations. Margin Maintenance Requirements You must maintain a minimum amount of equity in your account to collateralize your outstanding loans and other obligations. Margin maintenance requirements are set: ▪ By the rules and regulations of the New York Stock Exchange, the American Stock Exchange, and other regulatory agencies to the jurisdiction of which Apex Clearing are subject; and ▪ According to our sole discretion and judgment You agree to maintain in your Margin and Short Account collateral of the type and amount required by: ▪ Applicable exchange rules and federal regulations ▪ Our Disclosure of Credit Terms and Policies; or ▪ As required by Apex Clearing, at Apex Clearing’s discretion Margin maintenance requirements may change without prior notice. Apex Clearing may issue a "margin call" (that is, a notification to deposit additional collateral) if your account equity falls below the margin maintenance requirement. This can happen for various reasons. The most common reasons are a decrease in the value of long securities held as collateral or an increase in the value of securities held short. As a general guideline and when it is practicable to do so, Apex Clearing may (but is not required to) issue a margin call when the equity in your Margin and Short Account falls below a predetermined percentage of the market value of assets at risk (that is, the sum of the market values of the long and short equity security positions) in your Margin and Short Account. The amount of additional collateral Apex Clearing requires usually is an amount sufficient to raise your equity to minimum standards. For information on the current equity requirements, please contact Apex. Apex Clearing retains absolute discretion to determine whether, when and in what amounts Apex Clearing will require additional collateral. In some situations, Apex Clearing may find it necessary to require a higher level of equity in your account. For example, Apex Clearing may require additional collateral if an account contains: ▪ Only one security or a large concentration of one or more securities; or ▪ Low-priced, thinly traded, or volatile securities; or if ▪ Some of your collateral is or becomes restricted or non-negotiable or non- marginable Apex Clearing also may consider market conditions and your financial resources.

By type of transaction, we mean Purchases, Cash Advances, Balance Transfers and any transaction subject to a promotional offer. If any portion of a Purchases balance received a Grace Period, that amount is not included in this calculation. • To get the average daily balance for each type of transaction, we take the beginning balance for that transaction-type, which will charge include any unpaid balance on those transactions and any unpaid interest on a daily basis on those transactions. • To the credit extended beginning balance, we add: * An amount equal to you.

The number of days in the billing period may vary. • To get the daily balance, we take the beginning balance for each feature every day (which may include unpaid interest charges from previous billing periods), add any new transactions, any new fees, and any interest charge on the previous day’s balance, subtract any credits or payments credited as of that day, and make other adjustments. A credit balance is treated as a balance of zero. • We add a new purchase to the appropriate purchase balance as of the Transaction date shown on your billing statement. • We add a new cash advance to the appropriate purchase or advance balance as of the Post date shown on your billing statement. The Post date is the date we receive your request for the cash advance. The Balance Subject to Interest Rate on the billing statement are the averages of the respective daily balances during the billing period. If you multiply this figure for each feature by the number of days in the billing period and by the applicable daily periodic rate, the result will be the periodic rate interest charges assessed for that feature, except for minor variations caused by rounding.

If your daily-adjusted debit balance is reduced because you deposit a check or other item that is later returned to Apex Clearing unpaid, Apex Clearing may adjust your account to reflect interest charges you have incurred. Apex Clearing reserves the right to charge interest on debit balances in the Cash Account. Periodically, Apex Clearing will send you a comprehensive statement showing the activity in your account, including applicable interest charges, interest rates and adjusted daily debit balances. Daily Margin Interest Rate The "daily margin interest rate" is based on a 360-day year. It is calculated for each day by dividing the applicable margin interest rate shown in the table below by 360. Note that the use of a 360-day year results in a higher effective rate of interest than if a year of 365 days were used.

Your margin interest rate will be adjusted automatically and without notice to reflect any change in the Base Rate.

When you purchase securities on margin, you agree to depos it the required initial equity by the settlement date and to maintain your equity at the required levels. The maximum amount Apex Clearing currently may loan for common stock (equity) securities is 50% of the value of marginable securities purchased in your Margin and Short Account; different requirements apply to nonequity securities, such as bonds or options. If the market value of stock held as collateral increases after you have met the initial margin requirements, your available credit may increase proportionately. Conversely, if the market value decreases, your available credit may proportionately decrease. Initial margin requirements may change without prior notice. Apex Clearing may impose anytime and without prior notice more stringent requirements on positions that in our sole discretion involve higher levels of risk; for example, higher limits may apply for thinly traded, speculative or volatile securities, or concentrated positions of securities. You may purchase only certain securities on margin or use them as collateral in your Margin and Short Account. Most stocks traded on national securities exchanges, and some over-the-counter (OTC) securities are marginable. At our discretion, Apex Clearing reserves the right not to extend credit on any security. Equity securities with a market value of less than $3 per share may not be purchased on margin or deposited as margin collateral. If the market value of a security drops below $3.00 per share, the security will not be assigned any value as collateral to secure your margin obligations. Margin Maintenance Requirements You must maintain a minimum amount of equity in your account to collateralize your outstanding loans and other obligations. Margin maintenance requirements are set: ▪ By the rules and regulations of the New York Stock Exchange, the American Stock Exchange, and other regulatory agencies to the jurisdiction of which Apex Clearing are subject; and ▪ According to our sole discretion and judgment You agree to maintain in your Margin and Short Account collateral of the type and amount required by: ▪ Applicable exchange rules and federal regulations ▪ Our Disclosure of Credit Terms and Policies; or ▪ As required by Apex Clearing, at Apex Clearing’s discretion Margin maintenance requirements may change without prior notice.

This can happen for various reasons. The most common reasons are a decrease in the value of long securities held as collateral or an increase in the value of securities held short. As a general guideline and when it is practicable to do so, Apex Clearing may (but is not required to) issue a margin call when the equity in your Margin and Short Account falls below a predetermined percentage of the market value of assets at risk (that is, the sum of the market values of the long and short equity security positions) in your Margin and Short Account.

For information on the current equity requirements, please contact Apex.

The Customer hereby agrees as follows with respect to the Account, which the Customer has established with the Introducing Broker for the purchase, sale or carrying of securities or contracts relating thereto and/or the borrowing of funds, which transactions are cleared through you. To help the government fight the funding of terrorism and money laundering, Federal law requires all financial institutions to obtain, verify, and record information that identifies each person who opens an account. In order to open be eligible for a grace period and to avoid paying additional interest charges on purchases, you must pay the total New Balance listed on the last billing statement by the payment due date on that statement. We will calculate interest charges as follows • We figure a portion of the interest charge on your account by multiplying the daily balance on each feature (e.g., standard purchases and standard advances) by the applicable daily periodic rate and separately adding together any such interest charges for each feature for each day in the billing period. • For interest charge calculation purposes, the billing period begins on the day after the Statement/Closing Date of the previous billing period and includes the Statement/Closing Date of the current billing period. The number of days in the billing period may vary. • To get the daily balance, we take the beginning balance for each feature every day (which may include unpaid interest charges from previous billing periods), add any new transactions, any new fees, and any interest charge on the previous day’s balance, subtract any credits or payments credited as of that day, and make other adjustments. A credit balance is treated as a balance of zero. • We add a new purchase to the appropriate purchase balance as of the Transaction date shown on your billing statement. • We add a new cash advance to the appropriate purchase or advance balance as of the Post date shown on your billing statement. The Post date is the date we receive your request for the cash advance. The Balance Subject to Interest Rate on the billing statement are the averages of the respective daily balances during the billing period. If you multiply this figure for each feature by the number of days in the billing period and by the applicable daily periodic rate, the result will be the periodic rate interest charges assessed for that feature, except for minor variations caused by rounding. This method of calculating the balance subject to interest charge and the periodic rate interest charges results in daily compounding of interest charges. Transaction Fee for Club Cash® Advances You have obtained a cash advance for which we assess a cash advance transaction fee if you obtain funds from an automated teller machine (ATM), through home banking, or through a financial institution; make a wire transfer; acquire a money order, traveler’s check, lottery ticket, betting or casino chip, or similar item; or engage in another similar transaction. For each cash advance, we add an additional charge of 4.0% of the advance, Minimum Interest Charge If interest charges based on periodic rates are being added to your account, but the Customer will provide information total of such interest charges for purchases and cash advances is less than $.50, we assess a minimum INTEREST CHARGE, of $.50. We add the amount to the feature that will allow you is being assessed an interest charge. If more than one feature is assessed an interest charge, we may add the minimum interest charge to identify the Customer including, but not limited to, the Customer’s name, address, date of birth, and the Customer’s driver’s license or other identifying documentsany such feature at our discretion.
