Exhibit 1 - Terms and Conditions of the Insured Bank Deposit and Free Credit Sweep Program Every account with us is eligible for and participates in the Insured Bank Deposit and Free Credit Sweep Program (“Program”). This document contains important information about and a description of the Program. Capitalized terms that are not defined herein shall have the meaning set forth in the Agreement. The Program. Opening a brokerage account with us automatically enrolls your account in the Program. Continued maintenance of your account with us constitutes your acknowledgement of and agreement to the terms and conditions provided herein as they may be modified by us from time to time. We may in our sole discretion, for any reason we deem appropriate and without prior notice, refuse any deposit of cash into your account, restrict participation of your account in the Program, decline to permit your account from participating in the Program at any time on a going forward basis and close any account. For purposes of administering the Program, you appoint us as your authorized agent and custodian pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Agreement, including this Exhibit and acknowledge and agree that we may engage third parties (including affiliates) to act on our behalf or on your behalf with respect to the Program. Currently no bank will accept any instructions concerning your cash on deposit with a Program Bank (as defined below), unless such instructions are transmitted by us. Our Program currently provides for an automatic deposit of your un-invested cash into one or more bank accounts insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) and/or maintenance of free credit balances held by us and insured by the Securities Investor Protection Corporation (“SIPC”) – referred to herein as “Sweep” – and, if certain criteria are met, an option for you or an Authorized person to instruct us to hold a specified amount of cash (separate from Sweep) in your account in one or more FDIC-insured bank accounts of our choosing as XXXX.XXXX and/or XXXX.XXXX which are the currently available, “Client Directed Investment Choices” under the Program. With prior notice to you and, if then required by applicable law or regulation, with your consent, we can change the features or products that are included in the Program to include any legally permissible deposit account or instrument or we can terminate any or all of the products in the Program and hold some or all of your cash only as free credits (note that under the Program some or all of your cash may already be held as free credits although FDIC-insured Client Directed Investment Choice products are also available under the Program). When and if we make a money market fund available under the Program either as a sweep vehicle or as a Directed Investment Choice you will be provided access on our website to any applicable prospectus for such fund. To use a Client Directed Investment Choice alternative then available under the Program, you or an Authorized person must instruct us to move specified cash amounts into and out of any such Client Directed Investment Choice each time you wish to move cash — we generally will not automatically move cash into or out of a Client Directed Investment Choice for you. By doing the work involved with maintaining a cash balance in the Client Directed Investment Choice alternative under the Program, you may earn higher yields than on cash in Sweep. Cash then invested in a Client Directed Investment Choice alternative is generally not subject to automatic deduction to satisfy withdrawals or to make investments in, for example, another folio in your account managed by you or another Authorized person. Generally, there is no cash minimum for the Program either for participation in Sweep or in any Client Directed Investment Choice. However, interest may not be payable on cash maintained in a Client Directed Investment Choice until a cash balance threshold for any particular Client Directed Investment Choice is met (see the Schedule to this Exhibit for the specific levels). Cash deposited into the Program begins earning interest, to the extent eligible, from the day it is received by the Program Banks or received by us and maintained, under the Program, as a free credit. All withdrawals of cash from your account deposited in Sweep will be made by us as your agent in the following manner. Cash necessary to satisfy debit entries in your account will, generally, first be automatically withdrawn from free credit balances held by us that are not deemed held as part of the Program, if any – e.g., cash settling that day from securities sales or cash wired into your account that day, but there are other circumstances which can create a balance that is not yet in the Program. If a debit remains, we then will automatically withdraw cash from your Sweep cash maintained as part of the Program either as free credits held by us or as cash deposited in Program Banks. Cash invested by you or an Authorized person into a Client Directed Investment Choice will generally not automatically be withdrawn to satisfy a debit entry in your account; you must instruct us to withdraw a specified amount of cash from a Client Directed Investment Choice, after which we will credit your account with the amount noted in your instruction. Once credited to your account, it will be available for us to automatically satisfy your debit. If there is no debit entry once credited, it will be placed into Sweep. If you have a debit in your account and you fail or chose not to direct us to make a withdrawal from a Client Directed Investment Choice, you may have a positive cash balance in the Program and a debit balance in your account. Under such circumstances, we have the right to charge you interest on a debit amount. If this occurs, the interest we charge you on the debit in your account will be greater than the interest you will earn on the same amount of cash in your Client Directed Investment Choice. A debit is created when you purchase securities, when we receive a cash withdrawal request for your account using an electronic funds transfer, a check written by you and presented for payment, when we issue a check or wire at your request, or when you incur a fee or other charge in your account. Checks we provide you for use with your account are not drawn directly against any cash deposited for you at any of the Banks.

Currently no bank will accept any instructions concerning your cash on deposit with a Program Bank (as defined below), unless such instructions are transmitted by us. Our Program currently provides for an automatic deposit of your un-invested cash into one or more bank accounts insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) and/or maintenance of free credit balances held by us and insured by the Securities Investor Protection Corporation (“SIPC”) – referred to herein as “Sweep” – and, if certain criteria are met, an option for you or an Authorized person to instruct us to hold a specified amount of cash (separate from Sweep) in your account in one or more FDIC-insured bank accounts of our choosing as XXXX.XXXX and/or XXXX.XXXX FDIC. PLUS which are the currently available, “Client Directed Investment Choices” under the Program.

We can change the features or products that are included in the Program to include any legally permissible deposit account or instrument or we can terminate any or all of the products in the Program and hold some or all of your cash only as free credits (note that under the Program some or all of your cash may already be held as free credits although FDIC-insured Client Directed Investment Choice products are also available under the Programcredits). When If any such change then requires, under applicable law or regulation, prior notice to you and/or your consent we will provide such notice and/or seek such consent, to the extent so required. When, and if if, we make a money market fund available under the Program either as a sweep vehicle or as a Directed Investment Choice Choice, you will be provided access on our website websites to any applicable prospectus for such fund. To use a Client Directed Investment Choice alternative then available under the Program, you or an Authorized person must instruct us to move specified cash amounts into and out of any such Client Directed Investment Choice each time you wish to move cash — we generally will not automatically move cash into or out of a Client Directed Investment Choice for you. By doing the work involved with maintaining a cash balance in the Client Directed Investment Choice alternative under the Program, you may earn higher yields than on cash in Sweep. Cash then invested in a Client Directed Investment Choice alternative is generally not subject to automatic deduction to satisfy withdrawals or to make investments in, for example, another folio in your account managed by you or another Authorized personperson and thus a margin debit will be created if a purchase is executed in another folio that is in a margin account that does not have sufficient cash to pay for the trade. Generally, there is no cash minimum for the Program either for participation in Sweep or in any Client Directed Investment Choice. However, interest may not be payable on cash maintained in a Client Directed Investment Choice until a cash balance threshold for any particular Client Directed Investment Choice is met (see the Schedule to this Exhibit for the specific levels). Cash deposited into the Program begins earning interest, to the extent eligible, from the day it is received by the Program Banks or received by us and maintained, under the Program, as a free credit. All withdrawals of cash from your account deposited in Sweep will be made by us as your agent in the following manner. Cash necessary to satisfy debit entries in your account will, generally, first be automatically withdrawn from free credit balances held by us that are not deemed held as part of the Program, if any – e.g., cash settling that day from securities sales or cash wired into your account that day, but there are other circumstances which can create a balance that is not yet in the Program. If a debit remains, we then will automatically withdraw cash from your Sweep cash maintained as part of the Program either as free credits held by us or as cash deposited in Program Banks. Cash invested by you or an Authorized person into a Client Directed Investment Choice will generally not automatically be withdrawn to satisfy a debit entry in your account; you must instruct us to withdraw a specified amount of cash from a Client Directed Investment Choice, after which we will credit your account with the amount noted in your instruction. Once credited to your account, it will be available for us to automatically satisfy your debit. If there is no debit entry once credited, it will be placed into Sweep. If you have a debit in your account and you fail or chose not to direct us to make a withdrawal from a Client Directed Investment Choice, you may have a positive cash balance in the Program and a debit balance in your account. Under such circumstances, we have the right to charge you interest on a debit amount. If this occurs, the interest we charge you on the debit in your account will be greater than the interest you will earn on the same amount of cash in your Client Directed Investment Choice. A debit is created when you purchase securities, when we receive a cash withdrawal request for your account using an electronic funds transfer, a check written by you and presented for payment, when we issue a check or wire at your request, or when you incur a fee or other charge in your account. Checks we provide you for use with your account are not drawn directly against any cash deposited for you at any of the Banks.

Cash necessary to satisfy debit entries in your account will, generally, first be automatically withdrawn from free credit balances held by us that are not deemed held as part of the Program, if any – e.g., cash settling that day from securities sales or cash wired into your account that day, but there are other circumstances which can create a balance that is not yet in the Program. If a debit remains, we then will automatically withdraw cash from your Sweep cash maintained as part of the Program either as free credits held by us or as cash deposited in Program Banks. Cash invested by you or an Authorized person into a Client Directed Investment Choice will generally not automatically be withdrawn to satisfy a debit entry in your account; you must instruct us to withdraw a specified amount of cash from a Client Directed Investment Choice, after which we will credit your account with the amount noted in your instruction. Once credited to your account, it will be available for us to automatically satisfy your debit. If there is no debit entry once credited, it will be placed into Sweep. If you have a debit in your account and you fail or chose not to direct us to make a withdrawal from a Client Directed Investment Choice, you may have a positive cash balance in the Program and a debit balance in your account. Under such circumstances, we have the right to charge you interest on a debit amount. If this occurs, the interest we charge you on the debit in your account will be greater than the interest you will earn on the same amount of cash in your Client Directed Investment Choice. A debit is created when you purchase securities, when we receive a cash withdrawal request for your account using an electronic funds transfer, a check written by you and presented for payment, when we issue a check or wire at your request, or when you incur a fee or other charge in your account. Checks we provide you for use with your account are not drawn directly against any cash deposited for you at any of the Banksagreement.

Our Program currently provides for an automatic deposit of your un-invested uninvested cash into one or more bank accounts insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) and/or maintenance of free credit balances held by us and insured by the Securities Investor Protection Corporation (“SIPC”) – referred to herein as “Sweep” – and, if certain criteria are met, an option for you or an Authorized person Person to instruct us to hold a specified amount of cash (separate from Sweep) in your account in one or more FDIC-insured bank accounts of our choosing as XXXX.XXXX and/or XXXX.XXXX FDIC.

To use a Client Directed Investment Choice alternative then available under the Program, you or an Authorized person Person must instruct us to move specified cash amounts into and out of any such Client Directed Investment Choice each time you wish to move cash — we generally will not automatically move cash into or out of a Client Directed Investment Choice for you. By doing the work involved with maintaining a cash balance in the Client Directed Investment Choice alternative under the Program, you may earn higher yields than on cash in Sweep. Cash then invested in a Client Directed Investment Choice alternative is generally not subject to automatic deduction to satisfy withdrawals or to make investments in, for example, another folio in your account managed by you or another Authorized personPerson and thus a margin debit will be created if a purchase is executed in another folio that is in a margin account that does not have sufficient cash to pay for the trade. Generally, there is no cash minimum for the Program either for participation in Sweep or in any Client Directed Investment Choice. However, interest may not be payable on cash maintained in a Client Directed Investment Choice until a cash balance threshold for any particular Client Directed Investment Choice is met (see the Schedule to this Exhibit for the specific levels).

If a debit remains, we then will automatically withdraw cash from your Sweep cash maintained as part of the Program either as free credits held by us or as cash deposited in Program Banks. Cash Xxxx invested by you or an Authorized person Person into a Client Directed Investment Choice will generally not automatically be withdrawn to satisfy a debit entry in your account; you must instruct us to withdraw a specified amount of cash from a Client Directed Investment Choice, after which we will credit your account with the amount noted in your instruction. Once credited to your account, it will be available for us to automatically satisfy your debit. If there is no debit entry once credited, it will be placed into Sweep.

Under such circumstances, we have the right to charge you interest on a debit amount. If this occurs, the interest we charge you on the debit in your account will be greater than the interest you will earn on the same amount of cash in your Client Directed Investment Choice. A debit is created when you purchase securities, when we receive a cash withdrawal request for your account using an electronic funds transfer, a check written by you and presented for payment, when we issue a check or wire at your request, or when you incur a fee or other charge in your account.
