3. Account Holder Authorization (Continued)


I understand that I may change or revoke this designation at any time by completing, signing and dating a new IRA Beneficiary Designation Form and returning it to Schwab. It will become effective when Schwab receives it. If I live in a state with community property statutes and do not designate my spouse as the sole primary beneficiary, I represent and warrant that my spouse has consented to such designation. I understand that if Schwab determines that my beneficiary designation is not clear with respect to the amount of the distribution, the date on which the distribution shall be made, or the identity of the party or parties who will receive the distribution, Schwab will have the right, in its sole discretion, to consult counsel and to institute legal proceedings to determine the proper distribution of the account, all at the expense of the account, before distributing or transferring the account.
