interest in one Global Note to a beneficial interest in another Global Note, the Securities Registrar shall reflect on its books and records the date and an increase in the principal amount of the Global Note to which such beneficial interest is

 (b)      Any Global Note that is transferable to the beneficial owners thereof pursuant to this Section 3.08 shall be surrendered by the Depositary to the Trustee, to be

(a)      The provisions of Article XI of the Base Indenture, as supplemented by the provisions of this
Supplemental Indenture, shall apply to the Notes. 
 (b)      At any time and from time to time,
the Notes shall be redeemable, as a whole or in part, at the Company’s option, on at least 30 days, but not more than 60 days, prior notice mailed to the registered address of each Holder of the Notes to be redeemed, at a Redemption Price equal
to the greater of (i) 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed, or (ii) as determined by the Quotation Agent, the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of interest and principal thereon (exclusive of
interest accrued and unpaid to, but not including, the Redemption Date) discounted to the Redemption Date on a semiannual basis, assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months, at the Treasury Rate plus 25 basis points, plus, in either
case, accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including, the Redemption Date for such Notes; provided, however, if the Redemption Date is after a Regular Record Date and on or prior to a corresponding Interest Payment Date, such accrued and
unpaid interest will be paid on the Redemption Date to the holder of record on the Regular Record Date. 

(c)      On and after the Redemption Date for such Notes, interest will cease to accrue on such Notes or
any portion thereof called for redemption, unless the Company defaults in the payment of the Redemption Price and accrued interest, if any. On or before the Redemption Date for the Notes, the Company shall deposit with the Trustee or a Paying Agent,
funds sufficient to pay the Redemption Price of the Notes to be redeemed on the Redemption Date, and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on such Notes. If less than all of the Notes are to be redeemed, the Notes to be redeemed shall be selected by
the Trustee by such method as the Trustee and the Depositary deems appropriate; provided, however, that in no event, shall Notes of a principal amount of $1,000 or less be redeemed in part. 

  
 13 








 (d)      Notice of any redemption shall be mailed at least 30
days but not more than 60 days before the Redemption Date to each Holder of the Notes to be redeemed; provided, however, that if the Trustee is asked to give such notice it shall be notified in writing of such request at least 15 days
prior to the date of the giving of such notice (unless a shorter notice shall be satisfactory to the Trustee). Such notice shall state the Redemption Price (if known) or the formula pursuant to which the Redemption Price is to be determined if the
Redemption Price cannot be determined at the time the notice is given. If the Redemption Price cannot be determined at the time such notice is to be given, the actual Redemption Price, calculated as described above in clause (b), shall be set forth
in an Officer’s Certificate of the Company delivered to the Trustee no later than two Business Days prior to the Redemption Date. Notice of redemption having been given as provided in the Indenture, the Notes called for redemption shall become
due and payable on the Redemption Date and at the applicable Redemption Price, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the Redemption Date.

 (REVERSE OF NOTE) 
 THE CHARLES SCHWAB CORPORATION 
 3.225% Senior Notes due 2022 

1.        Interest. 
 The Charles Schwab Corporation (the “Issuer”) promises to pay interest on the principal amount of this Note at the rate per annum described above. Cash interest on the Notes will accrue
from the most recent date to which interest has been paid; or, if no interest has been paid, from and including August 27, 2012. Interest on this Note will be paid to but excluding the relevant Interest Payment Date or on such earlier date as
the principal amount shall become due in accordance with the provisions hereof. Interest will be payable to the Holder of record on the Regular Record Date, provided, however, interest payable on the Stated Maturity will be paid to the person to
whom the principal will be payable. The Issuer will pay interest semi-annually in arrears on each Interest Payment Date, commencing March 1, 2013. If any Interest Payment Date or the Stated Maturity of the Notes is not a Business Day, then the
related payment of interest or principal payable, as applicable, on such date will be paid on the next succeeding Business Day with the same force and effect as if made on such Interest Payment Date or Stated Maturity and no further interest will
accrue as a result of such delay. Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months. 

The holder of this Note is entitled to the benefits of a Exchange and Registration Rights Agreement, dated as of August 27, 2012,
among the Company and the Dealer Managers named therein (the “Registration Rights Agreement”). Capitalized terms used in this paragraph (b) but not defined herein have the meanings assigned to them in the Registration Rights
Agreement. In the event that a Registration Default has occurred and is continuing pursuant to the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement, the Company shall be obligated to pay Special Interest from and including the date on which the first
such Registration Default shall occur to but excluding the date on which the Registration Default has been cured, at a rate of 0.25% per annum on the applicable principal amount of Registrable Securities held by such Holder for the first 90-day
period immediately following the occurrence of a Registration Default, and such rate will increase by an additional 0.25% with respect to each subsequent 90-day period until all Registration Defaults have been cured, provided that the maximum
aggregate increase in the interest rate may in no event exceed 0.50% per annum. 
 The Issuer shall pay interest on overdue
principal from time to time on demand by the Trustee pursuant to Section 5.3 of the Base Indenture (defined below) at the rate borne by the Notes and on overdue installments of interest (without regard to any applicable grace periods) to the
extent lawful. 
 2.        Paying Agent. 

Initially, The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A. (the “Trustee”) will act as paying agent. The Issuer may
change any paying agent without notice to the Holders.

 3.        Indenture; Defined Terms. 

This Note is one of the 3.225% Senior Notes due 2022 (the “Notes”) issued under the Senior Indenture dated as of
June 5, 2009 (as amended, modified or supplemented from time to time in accordance therewith, the “Base Indenture” and, as amended, modified and supplemented by the Third Supplemental Indenture dated as of August 27, 2012,
the “Indenture”) by and between the Issuer and the Trustee, as trustee. This Note is a “Global Security” and the Notes are “Global Securities” under the Indenture. 

For purposes of this Note, unless otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms herein are used as defined in the Indenture. The terms of
the Notes include those stated in the Indenture and those made part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939 (15 U.S.C. Sections 77aaa-77bbbb) (the “TIA”) as in effect on the date on which the Indenture was
qualified under the TIA. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Notes are subject to all such terms, and holders of Notes are referred to the Indenture and the TIA for a statement of them. To the extent the terms of the Indenture and
this Note are inconsistent, the terms of the Indenture shall govern. 

4.        Denominations; Transfer; Exchange. 

The Notes are in registered form, without coupons, in denominations of $1,000 and multiples of $1,000 thereafter. A Holder shall register
the transfer or exchange of Notes in accordance with the Indenture. The Issuer may require a Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents and to pay certain transfer taxes or similar governmental charges
payable in connection therewith as permitted by the Indenture. The Issuer need not issue, authenticate, register the transfer of or exchange any Notes or portions thereof for a period of fifteen (15) days before the mailing of a notice of
redemption, nor need the Issuer register the transfer or exchange of any Note selected for redemption in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any Security being redeemed in part. 

5.        Amendment; Modification; Waiver. 

The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and
obligations of the Issuer and the rights of the Holders of the Securities of all series affected under the Indenture at any time by the Issuer and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount
of the Securities of all series at the time Outstanding affected thereby (voting together as a single class). The Indenture contains provisions permitting the Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of all
series at the time Outstanding with respect to which an Event of Default under the Indenture shall have occurred and be continuing (voting together as a single class), on behalf of the Holders of all Securities of such affected series, to waive,
with certain exceptions, such past default with respect to all such series and its consequences. The Indenture also permits the Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of each series at the time
Outstanding affected thereby (voting together as a single class), on behalf of the Holders of all Securities of such affected series, to waive compliance by the Issuer with certain provisions of the Indenture. Any such consent or waiver by the
Holder of this Note shall be 

  
 A-9








 
conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Note and of any Security issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu hereof,
whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Note. 

6.        Optional Redemption. 

The Issuer may redeem the Notes in whole or in part, at its option, at any time or from time to time prior to maturity on at least 30
days, but not more than 60 days, prior notice mailed to the registered address of each Holder of the Notes (the “Redemption Date”). The redemption price will be equal to the greater of: 

(i)      100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed; or 

(ii)     as determined by the Quotation Agent, the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments
of interest and principal thereon (exclusive of interest accrued and unpaid to, but not including, the Redemption Date) discounted to the Redemption Date, on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months), at a rate
equal to the sum of the Treasury Rate plus 25 basis points, 
 plus, in either case, accrued interest thereon to, but not including, the
Redemption Date; provided, however, if the Redemption Date is after a Regular Record Date and on or prior to a corresponding Interest Payment Date, such accrued and unpaid interest will be paid on the Redemption Date to the holder of record
on the Regular Record Date. 
 On and after the Redemption Date for the Notes, interest will cease to accrue on the Notes or any
portion thereof called for redemption, unless the Issuer defaults in the payment of the Redemption Price and accrued interest, if any. On or before the Redemption Date for the Notes, the Issuer shall deposit with the Trustee or a Paying Agent, funds
sufficient to pay the Redemption Price of the Notes to be redeemed on the Redemption Date, and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on such Notes. If less than all of the Notes are to be redeemed, the Notes to be redeemed shall be selected by the
Trustee by such method as the Trustee deems fair and appropriate; provided, however, that in no event, shall Notes of a principal amount of $1,000 or less be redeemed in part. 

Notice of any redemption shall be mailed at least 30 days but not more than 60 days before the Redemption Date to each Holder of the
Notes to be redeemed; provided, however, that if the Trustee is asked to give such notice it shall be notified in writing of such request at least 15 days prior to the date of the giving of such notice (unless a shorter notice shall be
satisfactory to the Trustee). Such notice shall state the Redemption Price (if known) or the formula pursuant to which the Redemption Price is to be determined if the Redemption Price cannot be determined at the time the notice is given. If the
Redemption Price cannot be determined at the time such notice is to be given, the actual Redemption Price, calculated as described above, shall be set forth in an Officer’s Certificate of the Issuer delivered to the Trustee no later than two
Business Days prior to the Redemption Date. Notice of redemption having been given as provided in the Indenture, the Notes called for redemption shall become due and payable on the Redemption Date and at the applicable Redemption Price, plus accrued
and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the Redemption Date. 

  
 A-10
