 THE CHARLES SCHWAB
CORPORATION 
 2004 STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN 
 NON-EMPLOYEE DIRECTOR RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AGREEMENT 
  

					
	Payment for Units	  	 No payment is required for the Restricted Stock Units that you are receiving. Restricted Stock Units are an unfunded and unsecured obligation of
Schwab.

		
	Vesting	  	 Subject to the provisions of this Agreement, a Restricted Stock Unit becomes vested and distributable as of the earliest of the
following:

			
		  	 (1)
	  	 The applicable Vesting Date for the Restricted Stock Unit indicated in the Notice of Restricted Stock Unit Award.

			
		  	 (2)
	  	 Your death.

			
		  	 (3)
	  	 Your disability.

			
		  	 (4)
	  	 Your separation from service, if the separation qualifies as a retirement.

			
		  	 (5)
	  	 A change in control.

		
		  	 If you become a common-law employee of Schwab or a subsidiary of Schwab (and “subsidiary” means a subsidiary corporation
as defined in section 424(f) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”)), then the Restricted Stock Units will continue to vest as described in the Notice of Restricted Stock Unit Award so long as you
continue as either a non-employee director or an employee of Schwab or its subsidiaries.

		
		  	 Unvested units will be considered “Restricted Stock Units.” If your service terminates for any reason, then your
Restricted Stock Units will be forfeited to the extent that they have not vested before the termination date and do not vest as a result of the termination. This means that the Restricted Stock Units will immediately revert to Schwab. You will
receive no payment for Restricted Stock Units that are forfeited. Schwab determines when your service terminates for this purpose.

		
	 Definition of Fair
 Market Value
	  	 Fair market value means the average of the high and low price of a Share (as defined below) as reported
on the New York Stock Exchange on the applicable determination date.









  

					
	Definition of Disability	  	 For all purposes of this Agreement, “disability” means that you have a
disability that qualifies as such under section 409A of the Code.

		
	Definition of Retirement	  	 For all purposes of this Agreement, “retirement” means your resignation or
removal from the Board at any time after you have attained age 70 or completed 5 years of service as a non-employee director.

		
	 Definition of Change in

Control
	  	 For all purposes of this Agreement, “change in control” means an event
that qualifies as a change in control event under section 409A of the Code and as a change in control as defined in the Plan.

		
	Definition of Separation From Service	  	 For all purposes of this Agreement, “separation from service” means a
separation from service as defined under section 409A of the Code.

		
	 Payment of

Shares
	  	 Any vested Restricted Stock Units will be paid in shares of common stock of The Charles Schwab Corporation
(“Shares”) as provided herein. Shares that have become vested and distributable under this Agreement shall be distributed as follows:

			
		  	 (1)
	  	 Shares that vest and become distributable on a Vesting Date shall be distributed within 30 days of the Vesting Date.

			
		  	 (2)
	  	 Shares that vest and become distributable on death, disability or a change in control shall be distributable within 90 days of such event.

			
		  	 (3)
	  	 Shares that vest and become distributable on a separation from service that qualifies as a retirement shall be distributed within 90 days of the separation from
service. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if at the time of your separation from service, you are a “specified employee”, you will receive your Shares six months after your separation from service. “Specified Employee” means a
“specified employee” within the meaning of section 409A of the Code and any regulatory guidance promulgated thereunder, provided that in determining the compensation of individuals for this purpose, the definition of compensation in Treas.
Reg. § 1.415(c)-2(d)(2) shall be used.

	Restrictions on Restricted Stock Units	  	 You may not sell, transfer, pledge or otherwise dispose of any Restricted Stock Units without Schwab’s written
consent. Schwab will deliver Shares to you only after the Restricted Stock Units vest and after all other terms and conditions in this Agreement have been satisfied.

 
 You may make a gift of Restricted Stock Units to your
spouse, children or grandchildren or to a trust established by you for the benefit of yourself or your spouse, children or grandchildren. However, a transferee of Restricted Stock Units must agree in writing on a form prescribed by Schwab to be
bound by all provisions of this Agreement as a condition for the transfer prior to the Restricted Stock Units becoming vested.

		
	Delivery of Shares After Death	  	 In the event that Shares are distributable upon your death, the Shares will be delivered to your beneficiary or beneficiaries. You may designate one or more
beneficiaries by filing a beneficiary designation form. You may change your beneficiary designation by filing a new form with Schwab at any time prior to your death. If you do not designate a beneficiary or if your designated beneficiary predeceases
you, then your Shares will be delivered to your estate.

		
	Restrictions on Resale	  	 You agree not to sell any Shares at a time when applicable laws, Schwab’s policies or an agreement between Schwab and its underwriters prohibit a sale.
This restriction will apply as long as your service continues and for such period of time after the termination of your service as Schwab may specify.

		
	No Stockholder Rights	  	 Your Restricted Stock Units carry no voting or other stockholder rights. You have no rights as a Schwab stockholder until your Restricted Stock Units are
settled by issuing Shares.

		
	 Contribution of Par
 Value
	  	 On your behalf, Schwab will contribute to its capital an amount equal to the par value of the Shares issued to you.

		
	Dividend Equivalent Rights	  	 If Schwab pays cash dividends on Shares, you will receive cash equal to the dividend per Share multiplied by the number of unvested Restricted Stock Units.
Each such payment shall be made as soon as practicable following the payment of the actual dividend, but in no event beyond March 15th of the year following the year the actual dividend is paid.

	No Right to Remain Employee or Director	  	 Nothing in this Agreement will be construed as giving you the right to be retained as an employee, contingent worker or director of Schwab and its
subsidiaries for any specific duration or at all.

		
	Limitation on Payments	  	 If a payment from the Plan would constitute an excess parachute payment under 280G of the Code or if there have been
certain securities law violations, then your award may be reduced or forfeited and you may be required to disgorge any profit that you have realized from your award.

 
 If a disqualified individual receives a payment or
transfer under the Plan that would constitute an excess parachute payment under 280G of the Code, such payment will be reduced, as described below. Generally, someone is a “disqualified individual” if he or she
is (a) an officer of Schwab, (b) a member of the group consisting of the highest paid 1% of the employees of Schwab or, if less, the highest paid 250 employees of Schwab, or (c) a 1% stockholder of Schwab. For purposes of the section on
“Limitation on Payments,” the term “Schwab” will include affiliated corporations to the extent determined by the independent auditors most recently selected by the Schwab Board of Directors (the
“Auditors”) in accordance with section 280G(d)(5) of the Code.
  

In the event that the Auditors determine that any payment or transfer in the nature of compensation to or for your benefit, whether paid
or payable (or transferred or transferable) pursuant to the terms of the Plan or otherwise (a “Payment”), would be nondeductible for federal income tax purposes because of the provisions concerning “excess
parachute payments” in section 280G of the Code, then the aggregate present value of all Payments will be reduced (but not below zero) to the Reduced Amount; provided, however, that the Compensation Committee may specify in writing that the
award will not be so reduced and will not be subject to reduction under this section.
  
 For this purpose, the “Reduced Amount” will be the amount, expressed as a present value, which maximizes the aggregate present value of the Payments without causing
any Payment to be nondeductible by Schwab because of section 280G of the Code.
  
 If the Auditors determine that any Payment would be nondeductible because of section 280G of the Code, then Schwab will promptly give you notice to that effect and a copy of the detailed calculation of
the Reduced Amount. The Auditors will determine which and how much of the Payments will be eliminated or reduced (such that the aggregate present value of



  
 4 









					
		  	 the Payments equals the Reduced Amount). Schwab will notify you promptly of the Auditor’s
determination. Present value will be determined in accordance with section 280G(d)(4) of the Code. The Auditors’ determinations will be binding upon you and Schwab and will be made within 60 days of the date when a Payment becomes payable or
transferable.
  
 As a result of uncertainty in
the application of section 280G of the Code at the time of an initial determination by the Auditors, it is possible that Payments will have been made by Schwab which should not have been made (an “Overpayment”) or that
additional Payments which will not have been made by Schwab could have been made (an “Underpayment”), consistent in each case with the calculation of the Reduced Amount. In the event that the Auditors, based upon the
assertion of a deficiency by the Internal Revenue Service against you or Schwab which the Auditors believe has a high probability of success, determine that an Overpayment has been made, the amount of such Overpayment will be paid by you to Schwab
on demand, together with interest at the applicable federal rate provided in section 7872(f)(2) of the Code. However, no amount will be payable by you to Schwab if and to the extent that such payment would not reduce the amount which is subject to
taxation under section 4999 of the Code. In the event that the Auditors determine that an Underpayment has occurred, such Underpayment will promptly be paid or transferred by Schwab to or for your benefit, together with interest at the applicable
federal rate provided in section 7872(f)(2) of the Code, provided that no such Underpayment related to Shares distributable under this Agreement shall be paid beyond the deadline for making such payments under section 409A of the
Code.

		
	Claims Procedure	  	 You may file a claim for benefits under the Plan by following the procedures prescribed by Schwab. If your claim is denied, generally you will
receive written or electronic notification of the denial within 90 days of the date on which you filed the claim. If special circumstances require more time to make a decision about your claim, you will receive notification of when you may expect a
decision. You may appeal the denial by submitting to the Plan Administrator a written request for review within 30 days of receiving notification of the denial. Your request should include all facts upon which your appeal is based. Generally, the
Plan Administrator will provide you with written or electronic notification of its decision within 90 days after receiving the review request. If special circumstances require more time to make a decision about your request, you will receive
notification



  
 5 









			
		  	 of when you may expect a decision.

		
	Plan Administration	  	 The Plan Administrator has discretionary authority to make all determinations related to this award and to construe the terms of the Plan, the Notice of
Restricted Stock Unit Award and this Agreement. The Plan Administrator’s determinations are conclusive and binding on all persons.

		
	Adjustments	  	 In the event of a stock split, a stock dividend or a similar change in Schwab stock, the number of Restricted Stock Units that remain subject to forfeiture
will be adjusted accordingly.

		
	Severability	  	 In the event that any provision of this Agreement is held invalid or unenforceable, the provision will be severable from, and such invalidity or
unenforceability will not be construed to have any effect on, the remaining provisions of this Agreement.

		
	Applicable Law	  	 This Agreement will be interpreted and enforced under the laws of the State of Delaware (without regard to their choice-of-law provisions), as such laws are
applied to contracts entered into and performed in Delaware.

		
	The Plan and Other Agreements	  	 The text of the Plan is incorporated in this Agreement by reference. This Agreement, the Notice of Restricted Stock Unit Award and the Plan constitute the
entire understanding between you and Schwab regarding this award. Any prior agreements, commitments or negotiations concerning this award are superseded. This Agreement may be amended only by another written agreement, signed by both parties and
approved by the Compensation Committee. If there is any inconsistency or conflict between any provision of this Agreement and the Plan, the terms of the Plan will control.



BY ACCEPTING THIS AWARD, YOU AGREE TO ALL OF THE TERMS AND 
 CONDITIONS DESCRIBED ABOVE AND IN THE PLAN.
