CUSTOMER ACCOUNT
AGREEMENT
This Customer Account Agreement (the “Agreement”) sets forth the respective rights and obligations of Apex Clearing Corporation (“you” or “your” or
“Apex”) and the Customer’s (as defined below) brokerage firm (the “Introducing Broker”), and the customer(s) identified on the New Account Application
(the “Customer”) in connection with the Customer’s brokerage account with the Introducing Broker (“the Account”). 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 an account, the Customer will provide information that will allow you 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 documents.

1. Applicable Rules and Regulations. All transactions for the Account shall be subject to the constitution, rules, regulations, customs and usages of the
exchange or market and its clearing house, if any, upon which such transactions are executed, except as otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement.

2. Definitions. "Obligations" means all indebtedness, debit balances, liabilities or other obligations of any kind of the Customer to you, whether now
existing or hereafter arising. "Securities and other property" shall include, but shall not be limited to, money, securities, commodities or other property of
every kind and nature and all contracts and options relating thereto, whether for present or future delivery.

2A. Investment Objective Definitions. “Capital Preservation” - a conservative investment strategy characterized by a desire to avoid risk of loss;
“Income” - strategy focused on current income rather than capital appreciation; “Growth” - investing in stocks with strong earnings and/or revenue
growth or potential; “Speculation” - taking larger risks, usually by frequent trading, with hope of higher than-average gain. All strategies involve various
types and levels of risk, the most common of which are market, credit, inflation, business and interest rate.

3. Breach; Security Interest. Whenever in your discretion you consider it necessary for your protection, or for the protection of the Customer’s
Introducing Broker or in the event of, but not limited to; (i) any breach by the Customer of this or any other agreement with you or (ii) the Customer's failure
to pay for securities and other property purchased or to deliver securities and other property sold, you may sell any or all securities and other property
held in any of the Customer's accounts (either individually or jointly with others), cancel or complete any open orders for the purchase or sale of any
securities and other property, and/or borrow or buy-in any securities and other property required to make delivery against any sale, including a short sale,
effected for the Customer, all without notice or demand for deposit of collateral, other notice of sale or purchase, or other notice or advertisement, each of
which is expressly waived by the Customer, and/or you may require the Customer to deposit cash or adequate collateral to the Customer's account
prior to any settlement date in order to assure the performance or payment of any open contractual commitments and/or unsettled transactions. You have
the right to refuse to execute securities transactions for the Customer at any time and for any reason. Any and all securities and other property belonging to
the Customer or in which the Customer may have an interest held by you or carried in any of the Customer's accounts with you (either individually or jointly
with others) shall be subject to a first and prior security interest and lien for the discharge of the Customer's obligations to you, wherever or however arising
and without regard to whether or not you have made advances with respect to such securities and other property, and you are hereby authorized
to sell and/or purchase any and all securities and other property in any of the Customer's accounts, and/or to transfer any such securities and other
property among any of the Customer's accounts to the fullest extent of the law and without notice where allowed. The losses, costs and expenses,
including but not limited to reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses, incurred and payable or paid by you in the (i) collection of a debit balance and/or any
unpaid deficiency in the accounts of the Customer with you or (ii) defense of any matter arising out of the Customer’s securities transactions, shall be
payable to you by the Customer. The Customer understands that because of circumstances beyond broker-dealers control, its customers’ voting rights
may be impaired. For example, if the stock of a company that another customer has purchased has not yet been received from the seller(s), then other
customers’ abilities to vote that company’s stock could be impaired until those shares are received. In addition, if the stock of a company that the
Customer has purchased has not yet been received from the seller(s), then payments received by the Customer from the Introducing Broker, in lieu of the
dividends on that stock not yet received, may receive tax treatment less favorable than that accorded to dividends.

4. Cancellation. You are authorized, in your discretion, should you for any reason whatsoever deem it necessary for your protection, without notice, to
cancel any outstanding order, to close out the accounts of the Customer, in whole or in part, or to close out any commitment made on behalf of the
Customer.

5. Payment of Indebtedness Upon Demand. The Customer shall at all times be liable for the payment upon demand of any obligations owing from the
Customer to you, and the Customer shall be liable to you for any deficiency remaining in any such accounts in the event of the liquidation thereof (as
contemplated in Paragraph 3 of this Agreement or otherwise), in whole or in part, by you or by the Customer; and the Customer shall make payment of
such obligations upon demand.

6. Accounts Carried as Clearing Broker. The Customer understands that you are carrying the accounts of the Customer as clearing broker by
arrangement with the Customer's Introducing Broker through whose courtesy the account of the Customer has been introduced to you. Until receipt from
the Customer of written notice to the contrary, you may accept from and rely upon the Customer’s Introducing Broker for (a) orders for the purchase or sale
in said account of securities and other property, and (b) any other instructions concerning the Customer's accounts. The Customer represents that the
Customer understands that you act only to clear trades introduced by the Customer's Introducing Broker and to effect other back office functions for the
Customer's introducing broker. The Customer confirms to you that the Customer is relying for any advice concerning the Customer's accounts solely on
the Customer's Introducing Broker. The Customer understands that all representatives, employees and other agents with whom the Customer
communicates concerning the Customer's account are agents of the Introducing Broker, and not your representatives, employees or other agents and the

69054P-NEWF 02/06/2018 Page 3 of 6


Customer will in no way hold you liable for any trading losses that the Customer may incur. The Customer understands that you are not a principal of or
partner with, and do not control in any way, the Introducing Broker or its representatives, employees or other agents. The Customer understands that you
will not review the Customer's accounts and will have no responsibility for trades made in the Customer's accounts. You shall not be responsible or liable
for any acts or omissions of the Introducing Broker or its representatives, employees or other agents. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the
Customer initiates a claim against you in your capacity as clearing broker and does not prevail, the Customer shall be responsible for the costs and
expenses associated with your defense of such claim. The Customer understands you shall be entitled to exercise and enforce directly against the
Customer all rights granted to the Introducing Broker.

6A. Accounts Carried as Custodian. In some cases the Customer’s account is being carried by arrangement with the Customer’s Investment Advisor or
Investment Manager, who uses you as their Broker-Dealer custodian. The Customer acknowledges that your role as custodian is to hold or custody
account assets, distribute or collect funds on behalf of the Customer’s account, execute and clear trades under instruction of the Customer’s Investment
Advisor or Investment Manager, generate account statements and provide other custodial services as may be mandated by various regulatory standards
and requirements. The Customer understands that in the capacity as custodian, you will not offer investment advice, review the Customer’s accounts,
and will have no responsibility for trades made in the Customer’s accounts. Additionally, in your capacity as custodian, you will not verify the accuracy of
management fees that the Customer pays to Investment Advisors or Investment Managers pursuant to the terms of the Investment Management
Agreement executed between the Customer and the Investment Advisor or Investment Manager. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the
Customer initiates a claim against you in your capacity as custodial broker and does not prevail, the Customer shall be responsible for the costs and
expenses associated with your defense of such claim.

7. Communications. You may send communications to the Customer at the Customer's address on the New Account Application or at such other
address as the Customer may hereafter give you in writing, and all communications so sent, whether by mail, telegraph, or otherwise, shall be deemed
given to the Customer personally, whether actually received or not. Reports of execution of orders and statements of accounts of the Customer shall be
conclusive if not objected to in writing to you, the former within five (5) days and the latter within ten (10) days, after forwarding by you by mail or
otherwise. In consideration of your sending any mail to me in care of a Post Office Box Address or a third party, I hereby agree that “all correspondence
of any nature whatsoever” sent to me in such address will have the same force and effect as if it had been delivered to me personally.

by the putative class action until: (i) the class certification is denied; or (ii) the class is de-certified; or (iii) the customer is excluded from the class by the court.
Such forbearance to enforce an agreement to arbitrate shall not constitute a waiver of any rights under this agreement except to the extent stated herein.

of any exchange, or of any corporation of which any exchange owns a majority of the capital stock, or of a member of any exchange, or of a member firm or

Customer has obtained and will provide to you additional documentation which may include information required under FINRA Rule 407 from its employer

routed to market centers (i.e., broker-dealers, primary exchanges or electronic communication networks) for execution. Routing decisions are based on a
number of factors including the size of the order, the opportunity for price improvement and the quality of order executions, and decisions are regularly
reviewed to ensure the duty of best execution is met. You or the Introducing Broker may receive compensation or other consideration for the placing of
orders with market centers for execution. The amount of the compensation depends on the agreement reached with each venue. The source and nature of
compensation relating to the Customer's transactions will be furnished upon written request.
