$10,000,000 and above Base Rate minus 0.750%

Unpaid cash account balances Base Rate plus 3.625%

The Base Rate is set at the discretion of Wells Fargo Advisors with reference to
commercially-recognized interest rates, industry conditions relating to the extension of
margin credit and general credit market conditions. The Base Rate, in combination with
a variable rate based on debit balance, is the rate Wells Fargo Advisors charges
investors to extend credit.
• Interest is computed daily.
• Payments for purchases in cash accounts should be received on or before the
settlement date of the trade. If your payment is received after that date, interest may
be charged to your account at the Base Rate plus 3.625%. Disbursement for a sale in
a cash account is not required to be made prior to the settlement date of the trade.
Occasionally, we may honor your request to receive payment of the sale proceeds
prior to settlement date. If so, an interest charge may be posted to your account,
calculated at the prevailing margin interest rate and subject to a minimum dollar amount.
• Margin borrowing adds risk to your investments and is not suitable for all investors.
Market conditions can magnify any potential for loss. If the market value of the
eligible securities in your margin account declines, you may be required to deposit
more money or securities in order to meet minimum equity requirements. In
accordance with the terms and conditions of your margin agreement, we may be
forced to sell securities held in your account, without notice to you, whether or not a
call has been issued. The agreement also stipulates that margin lending policies
may be changed at any time.

Account minimums
Minimum account opening balance is $1,000. Systematic Mutual Fund Purchase or
Withdrawal Plan investment minimum is $100 (buy or sell) or fund company minimum
if greater. Investment in a systematic purchase or withdrawal plan does not assure a
profit and does not protect against loss in a declining market.
