Section 2.1 Direction and Routing of Orders.

(a) Covered Orders and Company Services. Except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement or in Schedule A, Parent shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to,

7

route at least the Minimum Covered Orders to the Company for the Company Services and the Company shall, in its sole discretion, determine to execute such Covered Orders either as principal or by acting as riskless principal or agent, including, where applicable, determining the market center for execution of such Covered Orders, in any case in accordance with Section 2.3. The Company shall provide the Company Services for the Covered Orders that are routed to it in accordance with this Section 2.1(a). Nothing herein shall limit the ability of Parent to route Covered Orders in excess of the Minimum Covered Orders to the Company.

(b) Parent’s Alternate Connectivity. Parent may maintain alternate connectivity for routing of Covered Orders in NMS Stocks or Options to Exchanges, market centers or other Broker-Dealers, and Parent shall be permitted to route to such Exchanges, market centers or other Broker-Dealers the minimum number of Covered Orders needed to maintain such connectivity; provided, that Parent and its Affiliates route to the Company at least the Minimum Covered Orders in accordance with Section 2.1(a). The composition of Covered Orders in Options for such alternate routing shall be a neutral sample representative of the broad cross section of all Covered Orders in Options. Any Covered Orders in Options that are routed to any Exchange, market center or Broker-Dealer pursuant to this Section 2.1(b) shall count toward the two and one half percent (2.5%) of Covered Orders in Options that Parent is permitted to exclude from the Covered Orders in Options that Parent and its Affiliates are required to route to the Company and its Affiliates under this Agreement. Any Covered Orders in NMS Stocks that are routed to any Exchange, market center or Broker-Dealer pursuant to this Section 2.1(b) shall count toward the sixty percent (60%) of Covered Orders in NMS Stocks that Parent is permitted to exclude from the Covered Orders in NMS Stocks that Parent and its Affiliates are required to route to the Company and its Affiliates under this Agreement.

(c) Securities Exchange Act Compliance. The Company covenants and agrees to provide to Parent or any of its Affiliates such information as it requires to prepare and publish its disclosures required by Rule 606 of Regulation NMS of the Securities Exchange Act with respect to the routing of Covered Orders to the Company. Further, the Company and Parent shall cooperate to design their respective order routing and reporting processes such that the venues where Covered Orders (or portions thereof) are ultimately executed can be identified and reported on Parent’s or any of its Affiliate’s required disclosures pursuant to Rule 606 of Regulation NMS of the Securities Exchange Act consistent with Legal Requirements.

(d) Order Book. The Company shall maintain a good-til-cancelled order book for open Orders that remain in effect until executed or cancelled.

(e) NMS Stock Orders in Excess of Minimum Covered Orders. Parent shall not, and shall ensure that its Affiliates do not, directly or indirectly accept any “payment for order flow” (as defined in Rule 10b-10(d)(8) of the Securities Exchange Act) from any market maker, other than the Company, with respect to Covered Orders in

8

NMS Stocks. For the avoidance of doubt, Parent shall not, and shall cause its Affiliates not to, take any actions that are intended, designed or that would reasonably be expected to circumvent the terms or intention of this Section 2.1(e).

Section 2.2 Customer Complaints. The Company shall cooperate in good faith with Parent to attempt to resolve any complaints from Parent Customers or Registered Representatives.

Section 2.3 Execution Quality Service Levels.

(a) The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts, consistent with its duty of best execution, to obtain the most favorable terms reasonably available for Covered Orders to fulfill the Execution Quality Service Levels set forth in Schedule A to this Agreement as may be modified pursuant to this Section 2.3 or Schedule A to this Agreement.

(b) The Company and Parent and/or E*TRADE Securities may, from time to time, mutually agree in writing on changes to the Execution Quality Service Levels, including those changes contemplated by Schedule A to this Agreement.

(c) The Company and Parent shall establish a committee (the “Execution Quality Committee”) to provide a forum for discussion regarding routing and execution practices and resolution of disputes with respect to Covered Orders. In no event shall the Execution Quality Committee have the power to bind any Party (including the power to amend or otherwise alter the terms of this Agreement).

(d) Following the date of this Agreement, if the aggregate mix of Covered Order types or the aggregate mix of the types of securities, customers or commission levels underlying the Covered Orders routed to the Company shall materially change from the Existing Order Flow (such material change, an “Order Flow Change”), the Company and Parent and/or E*TRADE Securities shall discuss in good faith and reasonably agree in writing on changes to this Agreement, including the Execution Quality Service Levels, that would allow them to preserve, as equitably as possible, their respective commercial expectations in respect of this Agreement as of the date of this Agreement, notwithstanding such Order Flow Change. It is understood that the Parties, in agreeing to such changes to this Agreement, shall also reasonably agree in writing to modify the definition of Existing Order Flow to reflect the Order Flow Change.

(e) Following the date of this Agreement, if the transaction product types offered or otherwise made available by Parent or any of its Affiliates shall materially change from the Existing Products (such material change, a “Products Change”) the Company and Parent and/or E*TRADE Securities shall discuss in good faith and reasonably agree in writing on changes to this Agreement, including the Execution Quality Service Levels, that would allow them to preserve, as equitably as possible, their respective commercial expectations in respect of this Agreement as of the date of this Agreement, notwithstanding such Products Change. It is understood that the Parties, in agreeing to such changes to this Agreement, shall also reasonably agree in writing to modify the definition of Existing Products to reflect the Products Change.

9

(f) Following the date of this Agreement, if there shall occur a Material Legal Shift that materially affects the commercial expectations of the parties hereto in respect of this Agreement, including the Execution Quality Service Levels, the Company and Parent and/or E*TRADE Securities shall discuss in good faith and reasonably agree in writing on changes to this Agreement, including the Execution Quality Service Levels, that would allow them to preserve, as equitably as possible, their respective commercial expectations in respect of this Agreement as of the date of this Agreement, notwithstanding such Material Legal Shift. For the avoidance of doubt, a Material Legal Shift may include an increase in the number of Option classes that are generally quoted in penny increments, or material changes to the pricing methodologies of Exchanges.

(g) In the event that, following good faith discussions pursuant to any of Section 2.3(d), Section 2.3(e) and Section 2.3(f), the Company and Parent and/or E*TRADE Securities are unable to reasonably agree on the appropriate changes to this Agreement or any part hereof, any Party hereto shall be entitled to terminate this Agreement by providing written notice of such termination to the other Parties; provided, that upon any such termination, Parent shall pay to the Company, and the Company shall be entitled to receive, the Liquidated Damages Amount pursuant to Section 5.7.

(h) Parent and Company shall assess Company Services in accordance with the methodology set forth in Schedule A to this Agreement in conformance with their respective duties of best execution.

Section 2.4 Customer Disclosure, Segregation and Responsibility.

(a) The Parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts not to publish or make any communication or take any other action that would reasonably lead a Parent Customer to conclude that such Parent Customer is a customer of the Company or any of its Affiliates.

(b) As between Parent and the Company, when Parent or any of its Affiliates routes a Covered Order to the Company,

(i) the Covered Order shall be originated by, and for the account of, a Parent Customer or other account holder of Parent;

(ii) for purposes of all Legal Requirements (except as otherwise expressly provided therein), the accounts for which Covered Orders are routed are “customers” of Parent or an Affiliate thereof and not of the Company; and

(iii) Parent shall be solely responsible for all obligations relating to the opening and maintenance of customer accounts, including without limitation compliance with “know your customer,” confirmation and account statement delivery, and anti-money laundering requirements.

10

Section 2.5 Order Transmission Procedures and Requirements.

(a) Parent shall transmit Covered Orders to the Company using existing data formats, transmission protocols and methods, except as otherwise mutually agreed upon in writing by Parent and the Company.

(b) Parent shall be solely responsible for all acts and omissions of persons transmitting Covered Orders on its behalf and shall be bound by the terms of all Covered Orders transmitted to the Company.

(c) Parent acknowledges that it is its responsibility to ensure that any Covered Order transmitted to the Company complies with all Legal Requirements (including short sale rules under the Securities Exchange Act and applicable SRO rules) and policies or interpretations thereof. Parent shall be responsible for properly designating any short sale as “short” and for obtaining a “locate” or affirmative determination of securities for delivery prior to transmitting any Covered Order.

(d) Parent shall be solely responsible for the cost of hardware, software communications equipment and communications lines, including any data lines or internet access necessary to maintain connectivity to the Company’s systems for receipt of Covered Orders. The Company shall be solely responsible for the cost of hardware, software, communications equipment and communications lines, including any data lines or internet access necessary to operate the routing and executions system for Covered Orders received by the Company and to maintain connectivity to Exchanges and other market centers.

(e) Parent shall ensure that all Covered Orders in Options are transmitted to the Company in a random manner, such that the composition of Covered Orders in Options received by the Company is representative of a broad cross section of Covered Orders in Options handled by Parent or any of its Affiliates.

(a) Unless the Company consents in writing, Parent shall not provide the Company with any information that would reveal the identity of the underlying Parent Customer except to the extent required to resolve a trade dispute or in connection with a Legal Proceeding; provided, however, that Parent shall provide for each Covered Order (i) a unique descriptor code (that may be a coded or scrambled account number) allowing recognition of the Parent Customer placing such Covered Order in a manner that does not reveal any information relating to the identity of such Parent Customer and (ii) a category descriptor that allows the Company to determine what class of account and account range is assigned to such Parent Customer; provided, however, to the extent that Parent does not, as of the date of the Investment Agreement, provide the information specified in clause (ii) to the Company, Parent shall, to the extent reasonably practicable, use its commercially reasonable efforts to provide such information specified in clause (ii) to the Company following the date hereof.

(b) If the Company receives any Customer Information of Parent, or Parent receives any Customer Information of the Company, it shall not use such Customer Information to target or solicit customers of the other (including investment advisors with accounts custodied at Parent), as such, on behalf of itself or any third party. Neither the Company, on the one hand, nor Parent, on the other hand, shall sell, distribute, share, rent or otherwise transfer any Customer Information of the other except for distribution, sharing or transferring to its Affiliates, employees, agents, advisers, representatives, consultants or counsel thereof who have a need to know such Customer Information as it relates to the purpose or subject matter of this Agreement. Nothing contained herein shall preclude either the Company or Parent or any of their respective Affiliates from providing services to any Person who independently contacts the Company or Parent or any of their respective Affiliates, as the case may be, or who is responding to a general solicitation not targeted at any specific Person, or who is contacted by the Company or Parent or any of their respective Affiliates based on information independently derived by such Person and/or its Affiliates without the use of any Customer Information.

(a) Upon the consummation of a Change of Control of Parent, Parent (or the Successor Entity) or the Company may within 10 calendar days thereafter (the “Termination Election Period”), by written notice to the other Party, terminate this Agreement and Parent shall pay to the Company within thirty calendar days an amount in cash equal to the sum of the Liquidated Damages Amount. If neither Parent (or the Successor Entity) nor the Company terminates this Agreement pursuant to this Section 5.5(a) within the Termination Election Period, then this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect and Parent (or the Successor Entity) shall confirm such continuation in writing.

(b) In the event that Parent (or the Successor Entity) does not terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 5.5(a), upon the consummation of a Change of Control of Parent, Parent (or the Successor Entity) and the Company shall negotiate in good faith to amend the terms of this Agreement to include any additional order flow resulting from such Change of Control of Parent within the scope of this Agreement upon terms to be mutually agreed by the Company and Parent (or the Successor Entity). If the Parties are unable reasonably to agree on such amendment, Parent (or the Successor Entity) shall continue to comply with the provisions of this Agreement with respect to Parent’s order flow as if such Change of Control of Parent had not occurred and without regard to any additional order flow resulting from the Change of Control of Parent.

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of Section 5.5(a) and Section 5.5(b), following a Change of Control of Parent, Parent (or the Successor Entity) may elect to keep the order flow business of Parent separate from any additional order flow resulting from such Change of Control of Parent and if Parent (or the Successor Entity) so elect, Parent (or the Successor Entity) shall continue to comply with the provisions of this Agreement with respect to Parent’s order flow as if such Change of Control of Parent had not occurred and without regard to any additional order flow resulting from the Change of Control of Parent.

Section 5.6 Material Transactions.

(a) Upon the consummation of a Material Transaction and subject to the terms of any agreements or other arrangements binding on the counterparty in such Material Transaction, if Parent (or the Successor Entity) wishes to route any Orders that are not within the scope of this Agreement to the Company, Parent (or the Successor Entity) shall provide the Company with written notice of such proposed routing of order flow and the material terms on which Parent (or the Successor Entity) intends to route such order flow to the Company. Following the receipt of such notice, Parent (or the Successor Entity) and the Company shall negotiate in good faith to amend the terms of this Agreement to include such order flow within the scope of this Agreement upon terms to be mutually agreed by the Parties. If the Parties are unable reasonably to agree on such amendment, Parent (or the Successor Entity) shall continue to comply with the provisions of this Agreement with respect to Parent’s order flow as if such Material Transaction had not occurred and without regard to any additional order flow resulting from the Material Transaction.

16

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of Section 5.6(a), following the consummation of a Material Transaction, to the extent reasonably practicable, Parent (or the Successor Entity) may elect to keep the order flow business of Parent separate from any additional order flow resulting from such Material Transaction and if Parent (or the Successor Entity) so elect, Parent (or the Successor Entity) shall continue to comply with the provisions of this Agreement with respect to Parent’s order flow as if such Material Transaction had not occurred and without regard to any additional order flow resulting from the Material Transaction.

Section 5.7 Liquidated Damages.

(a) If this Agreement is terminated (i) by Parent for any reason other than as provided for in Section 8.2(a), 8.2(c), or 8.2(m), or (ii) by Company for any reason other than as provided for in Section 8.2(k) or 8.2(l), then Parent shall pay to the Company an amount to be calculated in accordance with the following (the “Liquidated Damages Amount”):

If terminated prior to December 31, 2008	$	75 million
If terminated between January 1, 2009 and December 31, 2009	$	50 million
If terminated between January 1, 2010 and December 31, 2010	$	25 million

For the avoidance of doubt, (i) Parent shall not be obligated to pay the Liquidated Damages Amount as a result of a Partial Termination, but (ii) Parent shall be obligated to pay the Liquidated Damages Amount to the extent required by this Section 5.7(a) if there is a termination subsequent to a Partial Termination.

(b) The Parties agree that the Company’s actual damages in the event of the occurrence of any of the types of situations set forth in Section 5.7(a) (and the other provisions of this Agreement referenced therein) would be extremely difficult or impracticable to determine. After negotiation, the Parties have agreed that, considering all the circumstances existing on the date of this Agreement, the amounts of the payments set forth in Section 5.7(a) represent a reasonable estimation of the damages that the Company would incur if any such events were to occur. None of the payments set forth in Section 5.7(a) are intended as a penalty. Each of the Parties agrees to the accuracy of the statements made in this paragraph, the reasonableness of the amount of liquidated damages agreed upon, and the fact that each Party was represented by counsel who explained, at the time this Agreement was made, the consequences of the foregoing provisions.

17

(c) All payments required under Section 5.5(a) shall be made within thirty calendar days of this Agreement being terminated and the payment shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by the Company.

Section 6.2 Parent Indemnification. Parent hereby agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Company and its Affiliates, directors, officers, general partners, managers, members, employees and other agents and representatives (the “Company Indemnified Parties” and together with the Parent Indemnified Parties, the “Indemnified Parties”) from and against any and all claims for Losses incurred or suffered by any such person or entity arising from, by reason of or in connection with (i) any dishonest, fraudulent, grossly negligent or criminal act or omission on the part of Parent or any of its Affiliates or any of their respective officers, directors, partners, employees or agents, (ii) all investigations, claims and damages arising out of the acts and trading activities of Parent Customers or any Legal Proceeding brought against the Company or any of its Affiliates by a Parent Customer, other than as a result of a dishonest, fraudulent, grossly negligent or criminal act or omission on the part of the Company’s officers, directors, employees or agents or (iii) any breach of the representations and warranties set forth in Section 5.1 or of any covenant made by Parent pursuant to this Agreement.

Section 6.3 Procedures Relating to Third Party Claims. An Indemnified Party shall give reasonably prompt notice to the Party from whom such

18

indemnification is sought (the “Indemnifying Party”) of the assertion of any claim or assessment, or the commencement of any action, suit or proceeding, by a third party in respect of which indemnity may be sought hereunder (a “Third Party Claim”) and shall give the Indemnifying Party such information with respect thereto as the Indemnifying Party may reasonably request, but no failure to give such notice shall relieve the Indemnifying Party of any liability hereunder (except to the extent the Indemnifying Party has been actually prejudiced thereby). The Indemnifying Party shall have the right, exercisable by written notice (the “Indemnification Notice”) to the Indemnified Party within 30 days of receipt of notice from the Indemnified Party of commencement of or assertion of any Third Party Claim, to assume the defense of such Third Party Claim using counsel of its choice, and the Indemnified Party may participate in such defense at the Indemnified Party’s expense, which shall include counsel of its own choice. If the Indemnifying Party elects not to defend the Indemnified Party against such Third Party Claim, whether by failure of the Indemnifying Party to provide the Indemnification Notice or otherwise, or the Indemnified Party has received advice from its external legal counsel that under applicable standards of professional responsibility a conflict will arise in the event both the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party are represented by the same counsel with respect to the Third Party Claim, then the Indemnified Party, without waiving any rights against the Indemnifying Party, may employ counsel of its own choice and at the expense of the Indemnifying Party. The Indemnifying Party may not settle any matter (in whole or in part) without the consent in writing of the Indemnified Party (which shall not be unreasonably withheld), unless such settlement does not involve any relief other than the payment of monetary damages, includes a complete and unconditional release of the Indemnified Party, does not admit liability on the part of or attribute fault to any Party or its Affiliates, and contains a provision requiring confidentiality with respect to the facts and circumstances of the dispute and of the existence and amount of the settlement. The Indemnified Party shall make its employees available and furnish such information regarding itself or the claim in question as the Indemnifying Party may reasonably request in writing and as shall be reasonably required in connection with the defense of such claim and Legal Proceeding resulting therefrom.

The Party prevented from performing its obligations or duties because of Force Majeure shall promptly notify the other Parties hereto (the “Other Parties”) of the occurrence and particulars of such Force Majeure and shall provide the Other Parties, from time to time, with its best estimate of the duration of such Force Majeure and with notice of the termination thereof. The Party so affected shall use commercially reasonable efforts to avoid or remove such causes of nonperformance. Upon termination of Force Majeure, the performance of any suspended obligation or duty shall promptly recommence. If a Force Majeure event occurs that materially interferes with the Company’s ability to route Covered Orders for execution, Parent may elect to route any Covered Orders that would otherwise be required to be routed to the Company pursuant to Section 2.1 to a Broker-Dealer or execution venue other than the Company during the term of the Force Majeure event.

No waiver by any Party of any term or condition of this Agreement, in any one or more instances, shall be deemed to be or construed as a waiver of the same or any other term or condition of this Agreement on any future occasion. All remedies, either under this Agreement or by law or otherwise afforded, will be cumulative and not alternative.

Section 9.14 Relationship of the Parties. Nothing in this Agreement shall constitute the Company as an employee, or general representative of Parent.

Schedule A

Execution Quality Service Levels

I. General.

A. This Schedule A specifies the execution quality requirements applicable to the execution services to be provided by the Company (the “Execution Quality Service Levels”). For purposes of the Agreement and this Schedule A, execution quality shall be assessed based on the standards of E*TRADE Securities and comparable industry practices for achieving best execution and performance during the term of this Agreement.

B. All capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein are defined as set forth in the Agreement.

II. Execution Standards for Covered Orders.

A. In accordance with Legal Requirements, including Regulation NMS to the extent applicable, the Company will exercise commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the most favorable terms for Covered Orders reasonably available under the circumstances.

B. In the event that a customer of E*TRADE Securities directs an Order to be executed on or by a specified Exchange, market center or Broker-Dealer (other than the Company), E*TRADE Securities shall route such Order to the Company and communicate its customer’s directions to the Company and the Company shall follow such directions.

C. With respect to each calendar month, commencing with the first trading day of the month and ending on the last trading day of the month (each a “Performance Period”), the Company’s execution performance on the aggregate Covered Orders in NMS Stocks and Options, respectively, shall be assessed based on the following Evaluation Criterion (as defined below) against agreed upon Execution Performance Standards (as defined below).

a. Execution Performance Standard for NMS Stocks. Except as otherwise specified herein, the “Execution Performance Standard for NMS Stocks” for each particular Evaluation Criterion shall mean performance at or better than the volume-weighted aggregated Execution Score of the comparable market comprised of the Comparable Market Centers (“Comparable Market Standard”). Due to the one month delay in availability of public Regulation NMS Rule 605 order execution data, the Comparable Market Standard for each Performance Period will be based on the volume-weighted results of the three consecutive months prior to the Performance Period. For

A-1

example, the Comparable Market Standard for September 2007 would be based upon the volume-weighted aggregated Execution Score of the Comparable Market Centers for June, July, and August 2007. The Execution Scores for the Comparable Market Centers shall be determined by data provided to the SEC pursuant to Regulation NMS and as defined by a common transaction analysis vendor mutually agreed upon by the Parties, such as Transaction Auditing Group (TAG), Thomson Transaction Analytics (TTA), or Quantum 5 Analytics.

b. Execution Performance Standard for Options. The “Execution Performance Standard for Options” shall mean that the Company shall exercise reasonable diligence to obtain the best market available under the circumstances consistent with industry practice.

c. In this Schedule A, “Evaluation Criterion” shall mean:

i. Effective/Quoted Spread (%) Ratio — The ratio of the share-weighted average between the execution price and the midpoint of the National Best Bid or Offer (“NBBO”) (“Effective Spread”) to the difference between the national best bid and the national best offer (“Quoted Spread”) at the time of order receipt (lower is better).

ii. Average Order Execution Speed — The average elapsed time between market order receipt and execution (lower is better).

iii. At or Better — The percentage of market order trades executed at or inside the NBBO (higher is better).

iv. Price Improvement — The percentage of trades executed at a price better than the prevailing NBBO (higher is better).

d. In this Schedule A, “Execution Scores” shall mean the volume-weighted performance statistics for the Comparable Market Centers in respect of each Evaluation Criterion.

e. In this Schedule A, “Comparable Market Centers” shall mean all market centers that trade NMS Stocks and are required to publish execution quality statistics pursuant to Rule 605 of the Securities Exchange Act.

f. In this Schedule A, “Evaluation Period” shall mean the Evaluation Period for each Performance Period representing that calendar month plus the prior two months. For example, the Evaluation Period for the Performance Period of September 2007 will include the Company’s

A-2

execution performance on the aggregate Covered Orders with respect to each Evaluation Criterion during the months of July, August, and September 2007.

III. Execution Data Requirements.

A. Delivery of Execution Performance Data.

1. The Company shall provide to E*TRADE Securities such execution quality data and/or statistics regarding NMS Stocks (“Execution Performance Data”) as the Company and E*TRADE Securities agree and are reasonable in light of current industry standards and information provided by the Company to its other clients. For the avoidance of doubt, evaluation of the Company’s execution performance, including the performance of Comparable Market Centers, shall be conducted with transaction level information provided by the Company. The Company agrees to utilize a common transaction analysis vendor mutually agreed upon by the Parties, such as Transaction Auditing Group (TAG), Thompson Transaction Group (TTA), or Quantum 5 Analytics.

2. If E*TRADE Securities reasonably believes that additional data collection or analysis of the Company’s execution performance with respect to Covered Orders and the quality of competing markets should be conducted to satisfy its best execution obligations or industry best practice, then E*TRADE Securities may propose such additional review or analysis to be conducted by the Company, and E*TRADE Securities and the Company shall discuss in good faith whether such review or analysis should be conducted.

IV. Remedies for Unsatisfactory Execution Performance.

1. If the Company’s execution performance has not met the Execution Performance Standard for NMS Stocks during a Performance Period or E*TRADE reasonably believes that performance has been unsatisfactory for Options, then E*TRADE Securities shall send to the Company a Failure Notice. After communication of a Failure Notice, E*TRADE and the Company shall in good faith discuss the concerns of E*TRADE Securities in an effort to address and resolve those concerns. Any concerns set forth in a Failure Notice with respect to NMS Stocks shall be assessed by E*TRADE and the Company independent of the Company’s execution performance with respect to Options. Similarly, any concerns set forth in a Failure Notice with respect to Options shall be assessed by E*TRADE and the Company independent of the Company’s execution performance with respect to NMS Stocks. For avoidance of doubt, execution quality performance will be judged over time periods and in security groupings determined in good faith by the Parties based on industry standards and execution quality data provided by the Company to its other clients.

A-3

2. If the Company agrees that its execution performance in one or more areas has been unsatisfactory, it shall make bona fide commercially reasonable efforts to improve its execution performance.

3. If E*TRADE Securities and the Company mutually determine, that the Company’s execution performance and/or the efforts undertaken by the Company to improve execution performance are satisfactory, then E*TRADE Securities shall immediately withdraw its Failure Notice by sending a written withdrawal notice to the Company.

4. If a Failure Notice is outstanding for an uninterrupted period of two (2) months, then E*TRADE Securities shall be entitled to route away a number of Covered Orders representing up to twenty-five percent (25%) of the Minimum Covered Orders in Options and up to twelve and one half percent (12.5%) of the Minimum Covered Orders in NMS Stocks, as the case may be, until E*TRADE Securities withdraws the Failure Notice; provided, that any Orders that E*TRADE Securities routes away shall consist of a representative cross-section of all Covered Orders.

5. If a Failure Notice is outstanding for an uninterrupted period of three (3) months, then E*TRADE Securities shall be entitled to route away a number of Covered Orders representing up to fifty percent (50%) of the Minimum Covered Orders in Options and up to twenty five percent (25%) of the Minimum Covered Orders in NMS Stocks, as the case may be, until E*TRADE Securities withdraws the Failure Notice; provided, that any Orders that E*TRADE Securities routes away shall consist of a representative cross-section of all Covered Orders.

6. If a Failure Notice is outstanding for an uninterrupted period of four (4) months, then E*TRADE Securities shall be entitled to route away a number of Covered Orders representing up to seventy five percent (75%) of the Minimum Covered Orders in Options and up to seventy five percent (75%) of the Minimum Covered Orders in NMS Stocks, as the case may be, until E*TRADE Securities withdraws the Failure Notice; provided, that any Orders that E*TRADE Securities routes away shall consist of a representative cross-section of all Covered Orders.

7. If a Failure Notice is outstanding for an uninterrupted period of five (5) months, then Parent may terminate this Agreement immediately upon written notice to the Company.

8. Any Covered Orders that are routed away to any Exchange, market maker or Broker-dealer pursuant to this Schedule A shall count toward the two and one-half percent (2.5%) of Covered Orders in Options or sixty percent (60%) in NMS Stocks that Parent is permitted to exclude from the Minimum Covered Orders that Parent and its Affiliates are required to route to the Company and its Affiliates under this Agreement.

A-4

IV. Execution Speed Guarantee.

A. Standard.

1. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to (a) execute all Eligible Orders (as defined below) within the specified time limit (measured from time that E*TRADE Securities receives an Eligible Order to the time that E*TRADE Securities is notified of the execution by the Company) under E*TRADE Securities’ order execution guarantee as in effect at the time of signing of the Investment Agreement and set forth on Attachment 1 to this Schedule A (the “Execution Guarantee”), which may be amended from time-to-time as mutually agreed upon by the Parties, and (b) provide the necessary mechanisms to allow E*TRADE Securities’ customers to track the execution speed of Covered Orders subject to the Execution Guarantee.

2. “Eligible Orders” shall mean Covered Orders that are market Orders in Equity Securities included within the S&P Index or any exchange-traded fund, available through E*TRADE Securities to buy, sell or buy-to-cover from 100 to 500 shares, received between 9:45 a.m. (Eastern Time) and 3:59 p.m. (Eastern Time) (subject to adjustment if the applicable market opens late or closes early).

3. “Ineligible Orders” shall mean (a) all Covered Orders that are not Eligible Orders and (b) all Eligible Orders that are also short sales, canceled or changed Orders, Orders entered within 20 seconds on the same security on the same side of the market, sell Orders which the account has a short option position, extended-hours Orders, Directed Orders, the stock leg of complex option Orders, buy Orders for under $1 and broker-assisted Orders.

B. Customer Reimbursement.

If E*TRADE Securities is notified by any of its customers that the execution of such customer’s Eligible Order failed to meet the Execution Guarantee, E*TRADE Securities shall investigate such claim with the Company. If E*TRADE Securities and the Company mutually determine in good faith that (a) such customer’s complaint is valid, (b) the failure to meet the Execution Guarantee is proximately caused by a delay of the Company and (c) E*TRADE Securities is obligated, under the terms of the Execution Guarantee, to provide the customer with one or more commission-free trades, E*TRADE Securities may provide such commission-free trades, and the Company shall reimburse E*TRADE Securities for the amount of those commission credits. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in no event shall the Company be obligated to reimburse E*TRADE Securities for any refund if the applicable Covered Order is an Ineligible Order or if:

1. there were interruptions to communications or other systems that impacted execution,

A-5

2. the relevant Covered Order was stopped for price improvement,

3. the relevant Covered Order was subject to locked, crossed or halted market conditions,

4. the relevant Covered Order, if executed, would have constituted a new intraday high or low, or

5. the relevant Covered Order was made during fast market conditions.

C. Reporting Plan.

E*TRADE Securities and the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to create an effective reporting plan to monitor and audit the Company’s performance in connection with the Execution Guarantee.

V. Miscellaneous.

A. Customer Complaints/Requests. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Parent shall be entitled to route away all Covered Orders for a particular customer to another market center in the event that Parent is notified by the customer that the customer wants Parent to route to a market center other than the Company; provided, however, that any Covered Orders that are routed away pursuant to this Section V.A. of Schedule A shall count toward the two and one-half percent (2.5%) of Covered Orders in Options or sixty percent (60%) in NMS Stocks that Parent is permitted to exclude from the Minimum Covered Orders that Parent and its Affiliates are required to route to the Company and its Affiliates under this Agreement.

B. Odd Lots and Blocks. In routing and executing Covered Orders of odd lots (less than 100 shares) and oversized trades (10,000 shares or more) in NMS Stocks, the Company shall exercise reasonable diligence to obtain the best available market under the circumstances consistent with good market practice. The Company shall provide to Parent within thirty (30) calendar days following the end of each calendar month such data and/or statistics for each calendar month as the Company and Parent agree and are generally available concerning the execution quality for such Covered Orders.

A-7

Note:

There are certain conditions that make an order ineligible for the guarantee.

Know which stocks and ETFs are eligible

Our 2-Second Execution Guarantee is available for stocks in the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index (SPX) and the ETFs available through E*TRADE Securities. If you have questions about which stocks comprise the S&P 500, you can view our current S&P 500 list.

Any market order for these securities that also meets the other qualifications will be guaranteed an execution in 2 seconds or less.

Note:

The securities comprising the S&P 500 Index and the ETFs available through E*TRADE Securities change from time to time.

Learn where I can place orders

The 2-Second Execution Guarantee is applicable to qualifying orders placed through any of the following gateways:

• The E*TRADE Web site (us.etrade.com)

• Power E*TRADE MarketTrader

• Power E*TRADE Pro (auto-routing only)

• Power E*TRADE Trading Desk

• Wireless devices

• Voice browser

However, if you place your order through Power E*TRADE Pro, a wireless device, or the voice browser, you’ll need to go to the E*TRADE Web site to check the status of the order – either by viewing your Smart Alerts or by going to the Execution Guarantee section of the View Orders screen.

Know which orders are ineligible

The following orders are not eligible for the guarantee:

• Sell orders for stocks or ETFs in which the account has a short option position (such as a covered call)

• Orders entered as short sells

• Orders routed directly to a specific ECN

• Extended Hours trades

• Buy orders for stocks or ETFs trading under $1

• Orders you later try to change or cancel

• The stock leg of complex options orders

• Orders placed through a live broker

• Orders for stocks in which the market is halted, locked, or crossed

• Orders stopped for price improvement

• Orders for stocks trading in a fast market

• Orders entered within 20 seconds on the same security, on the same side of the market

• Some orders for listed stocks or ETFs making a new intraday high or low

• Orders live during communications or other system interruptions

Understand how short options positions affect the guarantee

If you’re holding short options positions in your account (you have written covered call or put contracts), any order you place for the underlying security will not qualify for the execution guarantee. This also applies to orders for shares where you’ve entered options orders that have not yet executed.

A-8

For example, if you’re holding 500 shares of XYZ, and have either written two covered calls or have an order to write some covered calls, no order you placed for any of the shares is eligible for the guarantee.

Note:

If an order you place involves a short option position, we’ll send a message to your account before market open on the next trading day.

Understand how halted, locked, or crossed markets affect the guarantee

Your order will be disqualified for the 2-Second Execution Guarantee if there is a:

• Trading halt: The security is not currently being traded by the exchange.

• Locked market: The bid and ask for the security are the same.

• Crossed market: The ask and bid prices are reversed (i.e. the bid price is higher than the ask price).

Note:

If an order you place is disqualified because one of these conditions occurs, we’ll send a message to your account before market open of the next trading day.

Learn how orders stopped for price improvement affect the guarantee

If a qualifying order you place is stopped for price improvement, it won’t be eligible for the guarantee. Price improvement occurs when your order is held briefly because a better price than that which is currently quoted may be available elsewhere.

Note:

If an order you place should be stopped for price improvement, we’ll send a message to your account before market open of the next trading day.

Learn how fast markets can affect the guarantee

If you place an order for a security considered to be in a fast market when the order is live, it will not be eligible for the 2-Second Execution Guarantee.

Should this happen, we’ll send a message to your account before market open of the next trading day.

Fast markets are characterized by heavy trading and highly volatile prices for a particular stock. These usually occur as a result of an imbalance in trade orders. In addition, fast market conditions can occur across entire markets. This occurs only rarely, but if fast conditions occur market-wide, you will see a notice to this effect on your Order Preview and Confirmation screens.

Note:

Determining whether a security is trading in a fast market, or whether fast conditions exist market-wide, is at the sole discretion of E*TRADE Securities.

Learn how multiple, like orders affect the guarantee

If you place orders on the same stock and the same side of the market within 20 seconds, only the first order will be eligible for the execution guarantee.

For example, if you place a buy order for a given stock, and place another buy order for the same stock within the next 20 seconds, the second order will not be eligible for the execution guarantee. The same situation would apply to two sell orders placed for the same security within 20 seconds.

Note:

Should this apply to your order, we’ll send a message to your account before market open of the next trading day.

A-9

Understand how regional exchanges affect the guarantee

Some regional exchanges require a manual review of any order for a listed stock that would represent a new intraday high or low. These orders are not eligible for the guarantee.

Note:

Should this happen to your order, we’ll send a message to your account before market open of the next trading day.

Know how system interruptions affect the guarantee

Should a communications, network, or other system interruption temporarily disrupt the receipt, execution, or transmission of orders, the orders that are live during that time period will not be eligible for the 2-Second Execution Guarantee.

Note:

Should this happen to your order, we’ll send a message to your account before market open of the next trading day.

Know why an order is “under review”

When you place a qualified order that does not execute within 2 seconds, we’ll review it after market close and determine if it’s eligible for a commission credit.

When one of your orders is reviewed, we will always let you know. Here are a few things to keep in mind:

• You’ll receive a Smart Alert before market open the next trading day to let you know that an order was reviewed and whether or not a commission credit was granted (if it wasn’t, we’ll tell you why).

• If a commission credit was granted, it will post to your account and be available to use immediately (to view your credits, visit the Execution Guarantee section of the View Orders screen).

Learn how E*TRADE Securities determines execution time for the guarantee

The length of trade execution is determined from the time we receive your order (not when it is transmitted to us) and the time the executing market center notifies us of the final fill.

Please keep in mind:

• Any eligible orders you place will have their actual execution times displayed. You’ll be able to view execution times in execution Smart Alerts, in the Execution Guarantee section of the View Orders screen, and in the Order Details tables (click the order number at View Orders to get details for a particular order).

• If your order’s execution time is greater than 2 seconds, the order will be reviewed after market close.

• Unless the order is disqualified, you’ll be granted a commission credit before the open of the next market day. Your credit will be applied automatically to the next qualified order you place.

Know if I get a commission credit for a guaranteed execution order

We make it easy for you to find out whether or not you get a commission credit for a particular order.

• You’ll receive a Smart Alert message before market open of the next trading day if you’ve earned a commission credit for a qualified order.

A-10

• You can review individual qualifying orders, check execution times, and see which orders have earned commission credits by going to the Execution Guarantee section of the View Orders screen.

Note:

Any qualified order that does not execute within 2 seconds is reviewed after market close. If there is no qualifying condition that makes the order ineligible, your account will receive a commission credit.

Find out how many commission credits I have

The number of commission credits you have will be displayed in the Execution Guarantee section of the View Orders screen.

Commission credits are available for one calendar year. They cannot be converted to cash. Customers may accumulate up to 100 commission-free trades per account.

Use my commission credits

There’s nothing you need to do to apply your 2-Second Execution Guarantee commission credits to orders you place – we’ll handle it for you, automatically.

Some things to know:

• After a commission credit is issued to your account, it will be applied automatically to the next order qualifying for the guarantee.

• When you preview an order that will use a commission credit, you’ll see a notation on the order screen that your credit is being applied.

• After your order is executed, you’ll be able to see in the order details table (click the order number at View Orders to get details for a particular order) that a commission credit was applied to the order.

Note:

The credit for a given order waives the commission charge. The credit does not cover any applicable order-handling fee, or additional fees or charges that may apply.
