                            DAIN RAUSCHER CORPORATION
                        2000 EMPLOYEE STOCK PURCHASE PLAN

                             ARTICLE I. INTRODUCTION

                  Section 1.01 Purpose. The purpose of the Plan is to provide
employees of the Company and certain related corporations with an opportunity to
share in the ownership of the Company by providing them with a convenient means
for regular and systematic purchases of Common Stock and, thus, to develop a
stronger incentive to work for the continued success of the Company.

                  Section 1.02 Rules of Interpretation. It is intended that the
Plan be an "employee stock purchase plan" as defined in Section 423(b) of the
Code and Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder. Accordingly, the Plan
shall be interpreted and administered in a manner consistent therewith if so
approved. All Participants in the Plan will have the same rights and privileges
consistent with the provisions of the Plan.

                  Section 1.03 Definitions. For purposes of the Plan, the
following terms will have the meanings set forth below:

                          (a)   "Acceleration Date" means the earlier of the
date of stockholder approval or approval by the Company's Board of Directors of
(i) any consolidation or merger of the Company in which the Company is not the
continuing or surviving corporation or pursuant to which shares of Company
Common Stock would be converted into cash, securities or other property, other
than a merger of the Company in which stockholders of the Company immediately
prior to the merger have substantially the same proportionate ownership of stock
in the surviving corporation immediately after the merger; (ii) any sale,
exchange or other transfer (in one transaction or a series of related
transactions) of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company; or (iii)
any plan of liquidation or dissolution of the Company.

                          (b)   "Affiliate" means any subsidiary corporation of

                          (e)   "Common Stock" means the Company's Common Stock,

stock or the Company as contemplated by Article XI of the Plan.

contemplated by Section 11.02 of the Plan.

                          (g)   "Current Compensation" means all regular wage,
salary, bonus, and commission payments paid by the Company or by a Participating
Affiliate to a Participant in accordance with the terms of his or her
employment, including all other forms of special compensation.

                          (h)   "Fair Market Value" as of a given date means the
fair market value of the Common Stock determined by such methods or procedures
as shall be established from time to time by the Committee, but shall not be
less than, if the Common Stock is then quoted on the New York Stock Exchange,
Inc. ("NYSE"), the closing price as reported on the NYSE on such date or, if the
NYSE is not open for trading on such date, on the most recent preceding date
when it is open for trading. If on a given date the Common Stock is not traded
on an established securities market, the Committee shall make a good faith
attempt to satisfy the requirements of this Section 1.03(h) and in connection
therewith shall take such action as it deems necessary or advisable.

                          (i)   "Participant" means a Regular Employee who has

business day in March, June, September and December of each year; provided,

maintained on the books and records of the Company recording the amount received
from each Participant through payroll deductions made under the Plan.

                    ARTICLE II. ELIGIBILITY AND PARTICIPATION

                  Section 2.01 Eligible Employees. All Regular Employees shall
be eligible to participate in the Plan beginning on the first day of the first
Purchase Period to commence after such person becomes a Regular Employee.
Subject to the provisions of Article VI of the Plan, each such employee will
continue to be eligible to participate in the Plan so long as he or she remains
a Regular Employee.

                  Section 2.02 Election to Participate. An eligible Regular
Employee may elect to participate in the Plan for a given Purchase Period by
filing with the Company, in advance of that Purchase Period and in accordance
with such terms and conditions as the Committee in its sole discretion may
impose, a form provided by the Company for such purpose (which authorizes
regular payroll deductions from Current Compensation in that Purchase Period and
continuing until the employee withdraws from the Plan or ceases to be eligible
to participate in the Plan).

                  Section 2.03 Limits on Stock Purchase. No employee shall be
granted any right to purchase Common Stock hereunder if such employee,
immediately after such a right to purchase is granted, would own, directly or
indirectly, within the meaning of Section 423(b)(3) and Section 424(d) of the
Code, Common Stock possessing 5% or more of the total combined voting power or
value of all the classes of the capital stock of the Company or of all
Affiliates.

                  Section 2.04 Voluntary Participation. Participation in the
Plan on the part of a Participant is voluntary and such participation is not a
condition of employment nor does participation in the Plan entitle a Participant
to be retained as an employee of the Company or any Affiliate.

           ARTICLE III. PAYROLL DEDUCTIONS AND STOCK PURCHASE ACCOUNT

                  Section 3.01 Deduction from Pay. The form described in Section

less than $10 or more than $250 of such Participant's Current Compensation for
each month during such Purchase Period, subject to such other limitations as the
Committee in its sole discretion may impose. A Participant may cease making
payroll deductions at any time, subject to such limitations as the Committee in
its sole discretion may impose.

                  Section 3.02 Credit to Account. Payroll deductions will be
credited to the Participant's Stock Purchase Account on each payday.

                                       2

<PAGE>   3

                  Section 3.03 Interest. No interest will be paid on payroll
deductions or on any other amount credited to, or on deposit in, a Participant's
Stock Purchase Account.

                  Section 3.04 Nature of Account. The Stock Purchase Account is
established solely for accounting purposes, and all amounts credited to the
Stock Purchase Account will remain part of the general assets of the Company or
the Participating Affiliate (as the case may be).

                  Section 3.05 No Additional Contributions. A Participant may
not make any payment into the Stock Purchase Account other than the payroll
deductions made pursuant to the Plan.

                      ARTICLE IV. RIGHT TO PURCHASE SHARES

                  Section 4.01 Number of Shares. Each Participant will have the
right to purchase on the last business day of the Purchase Period all, but not
less than all, of the number of whole and fractional shares of Common Stock that
can be purchased at the price specified in Section 4.02 of the Plan with the
entire credit balance in the Participant's Stock Purchase Account, subject to
the limitations that (a) no more than 500 shares of Common Stock may be
purchased under the Plan by any one Participant for a given Purchase Period, and
(b) in accordance with Section 423(b)(8) of the Code, no more than $25,000 in
Fair Market Value (determined at the beginning of each Purchase Period) of
Common Stock and other stock may be purchased under the Plan and all other
employee stock purchase plans (if any) of the Company and the Affiliates by any
one Participant for any calendar year. If the purchases for all Participants for
any Purchase Period would otherwise cause the aggregate number of shares of
Common Stock to be sold under the Plan to exceed the number specified in Section
10.04 of the Plan, each Participant shall be allocated a pro rata portion of the
Common Stock to be sold for such Purchase Period.

                  Section 4.02 Purchase Price. The purchase price for any
Purchase Period shall be 85% of the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock on the
last business day of each Purchase Period, in each case rounded up to the next
higher full cent.

                          ARTICLE V. EXERCISE OF RIGHT

                  Section 5.01 Purchase of Stock. On the last business day of a
Purchase Period, the entire credit balance in each Participant's Stock Purchase
Account will be used to purchase the number of whole shares and fractional
shares of Common Stock purchasable with such amount (subject to the limitations
of Section 4.01 of the Plan), unless the Participant has filed with the Company,
in advance of that date and subject to such terms and conditions as the
Committee in its sole discretion may impose, a form provided by the Company
which requests the distribution of the entire credit balance in cash.

                  Section 5.02 Notice of Acceleration Date. The Company shall
use reasonable commercial efforts to notify each Participant in writing at least
ten days prior to any Acceleration Date that the then-current Purchase Period
will end on such Acceleration Date.

                 ARTICLE VI. WITHDRAWAL FROM PLAN; SALE OF STOCK

                  Section 6.01 Voluntary Withdrawal. A Participant may, in
accordance with such terms and conditions as the Committee in its sole
discretion may impose, withdraw from the Plan and cease making payroll
deductions by filing with the Company a form provided for this purpose. In such
event, the entire credit balance in the Participant's Stock Purchase Account
will be paid to the Participant in cash within 30 days. A Participant who
withdraws from the Plan will not be eligible to reenter the Plan until the
beginning of the next Purchase Period following the date of such withdrawal.

                  Section 6.02 Death. Subject to such terms and conditions as
the Committee in its sole discretion may impose, upon the death of a
Participant, no further amounts shall be credited to the Participant's Stock
Purchase Account. Thereafter, on the last business day of the Purchase Period
during which such Participant's death occurred and in accordance with Section
5.01 of the Plan, the entire credit balance in such Participant's Stock Purchase
Account will be used to purchase Common Stock, unless such Participant's estate
has filed with the Company, in

                                       3

<PAGE>   4

advance of that day and subject to such terms and conditions as the Committee in
its sole discretion may impose, a form provided by the Company by which such
Participant's estate elects to have the entire credit balance in such
Participant's Stock Account distributed in cash within 30 days after the end of
that Purchase Period or at such earlier time as the Committee in its sole
discretion may decide. Each Participant, however, may designate one or more
beneficiaries who, upon death, are to receive the Common Stock or the amount
that otherwise would have been distributed or paid to the Participant's estate
and may change or revoke any such designation from time to time; provided,
however, that in the event that a Participant fails for any reason to make such
a designation, the beneficiary designation used by such a Participant for the
Dain Rauscher Retirement and Savings Plan shall also apply for purposes of this
Section 6.02.. No such designation, change or revocation will be effective
unless made by the Participant in writing and filed with the Company during the
Participant's lifetime. Unless the Participant has otherwise specified the
beneficiary designation, the beneficiary or beneficiaries so designated will
become fixed as of the date of the death of the Participant so that, if a
beneficiary survives the Participant but dies before the receipt of the payment
due such beneficiary, the payment will be made to such beneficiary's estate.

                  Section 6.03 Termination of Employment. Subject to such terms
and conditions as the Committee in its sole discretion may impose, upon a
Participant's termination of employment with the Company or a Participating
Affiliate, no further amounts shall be credited to the Participant's Stock
Purchase Account. Thereafter, on the last business day of the Purchase Period
during which such Participant's termination of employment occurred and in
accordance with the Plan, the entire credit balance in such Participant's Stock
Purchase Account will be used to purchase Common Stock, unless such Participant
has filed with the Company, in advance of that day and subject to such terms and
conditions as the Committee in its sole discretion may impose, a form provided
by the Company by which the Participant elects to receive the entire credit
balance in such Participant's Stock Purchase Account in cash within 30 days
after the end of that Purchase Period, provided that such Participant shall have
no right to purchase Common Stock in the event that the last day of such a
Purchase Period occurs more than three months following the termination of such
Participant's employment with the Company or a Participating Affiliate. For
purposes of this Section 6.03, a transfer of employment to any Participating
Affiliate, or a leave of absence which has been approved by the Committee, will
not be deemed a termination of employment as a Regular Employee.

                         ARTICLE VII. NONTRANSFERABILITY

                  Section 7.01 Nontransferable Right to Purchase. The right to
purchase Common Stock hereunder may not be assigned, transferred, pledged or
hypothecated (whether by operation of law or otherwise), except as provided in
Section 6.02 of the Plan, and will not be subject to execution, attachment or
similar process. Any attempted assignment, transfer, pledge, hypothecation or
other disposition or levy of attachment or similar process upon the right to
purchase will be null and void and without effect.

                  Section 7.02 Nontransferable Account. Except as provided in
Section 6.02 of the Plan, the amounts credited to a Stock Purchase Account may
not be assigned, transferred, pledged or hypothecated in any way, and any
attempted assignment, transfer, pledge, hypothecation or other disposition of
such amounts will be null and void and without effect.

                  Section 7.03 Nontransferable Shares. Except as the Committee
shall otherwise permit, prior to the first anniversary of the beginning of any
Purchase Period, the Common Stock purchased at the end of such Purchase Period
by a Participant pursuant to Section 5.01 of the Plan may not be assigned,
transferred, pledged, hypothecated or otherwise disposed of in any way other
than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution, and any other attempted
assignment, transfer, pledge, hypothecation or other disposition of such share
or shares will be null and void and without effect.

          ARTICLE VIII. COMMON STOCK ISSUANCE AND DIVIDEND REINVESTMENT

                  Section 8.01 Issuance of Purchased Shares. Promptly after the
last day of each Purchase Period and subject to such terms and conditions as the
Committee in its sole discretion may impose, the Company will cause the Common
Stock then purchased pursuant to Section 5.01 of the Plan to be issued for the
benefit of the Participant and held in the Plan pursuant to Section 8.03 of the
Plan.

                                       4

<PAGE>   5

                  Section 8.02 Completion of Issuance. A Participant shall have
no interest in the Common Stock purchased pursuant to Section 5.01 of the Plan
until such Common Stock is issued for the benefit of the Participant pursuant to
Section 8.03 of the Plan.

                  Section 8.03 Form of Ownership. The Common Stock issued under
Section 8.01 of the Plan will be held in the Plan in the name of the Participant
or jointly in the name of the Participant and another person, as the Participant
may direct on a form provided by the Company, until such time as certificates
for such shares of Common Stock are delivered to or for the benefit of the
Participant pursuant to Section 8.05 of the Plan.

                  Section 8.04 Automatic Dividend Reinvestment. Prior to the
delivery of certificates to or for the benefit of the Participant under Section
8.05 of the Plan, any and all cash dividends paid on full and fractional shares
of Common Stock issued under either Section 8.01 of the Plan or this Section
8.04 shall be reinvested to acquire either new issue Common Stock or shares of
Common Stock purchased on the open market, as determined by the Committee in its
sole discretion. Purchases of Common Stock under this Section 8.04 will be (a)
with respect to shares newly issued by the Company, invested on the dividend
payment date, or, if that date is not a trading day, the immediately preceding
trading day, or (b) with respect to shares purchased on the open market,
normally purchased on the open market within ten business days of the dividend
payment date, depending upon market conditions. The price per share of the
Common Stock issued under this Section 8.04 shall be (x) with respect to shares
newly issued by the Company, the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock on the
applicable investment date, or (y) with respect to shares purchased on the open
market, the weighted average price per share at which the Common Stock is
actually purchased on the open market for the relevant period on behalf of all
participants in the Plan. All shares of Common Stock acquired under this Section
8.04 will be held in the Plan in the same name as the Common Stock upon which
the cash dividends were paid.

                  Section 8.05 Delivery. At any time following the conclusion of
the nontransferability period set forth in Section 7.03 of the Plan and subject
to such terms and conditions as the Committee in its sole discretion may impose,
by filing with the Company a form provided by the Company for such purpose, the
Participant may elect to have the Company cause to be delivered to or for the
benefit of the Participant a certificate for the number of whole shares, and
cash for the number of fractional shares, representing the Common Stock
purchased pursuant to Section 5.01 of the Plan, together with any additional
Common Stock acquired pursuant to Section 8.04 of the Plan upon the reinvestment
of dividends. The election notice will be processed as soon as practicable after
receipt. A certificate for whole shares normally will be mailed to the
Participant within five business days after receipt of the election notice;
provided, however, that if the notice is received between a dividend record date
and a dividend payment date, a certificate will generally not be sent out until
the declared dividends have been reinvested pursuant to Section 8.04 of the
Plan. Any fractional shares normally will be sold on the first trading day of
each month and a check for the fractional shares sent to the Participant
promptly thereafter.

                    ARTICLE IX. EFFECTIVE DATE, AMENDMENT AND
                               TERMINATION OF PLAN

Plan, however, shall be made without stockholder approval that requires
stockholder approval under any rules or regulations of the Securities and
Exchange Commission, the NYSE or any other securities exchange that are then
applicable to the Company.

                  Section 9.04 Automatic Termination. The Plan shall
automatically terminate when all of the shares of Common Stock provided for in
Section 10.04 of the Plan have been sold, provided that such termination shall
in no way affect the terms of the Plan pertaining to any Common Stock then held
under the Plan.

and complete authority to determine whether all or any part of the Common Stock
acquired pursuant to the Plan shall be subject to restrictions on the
transferability thereof or any other restrictions affecting in any manner a
Participant's rights with respect thereto, but any such restrictions shall be
contained in the form by which a Participant elects to participate in the Plan
pursuant to Section 2.02 of the Plan. Decisions of the Committee will be final
and binding on all parties who have an interest in the Plan.

                  Section 10.03 Power and Authority of the Board of Directors.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Board of

the Committee, exercise the powers and duties of the Committee under the Plan.

                  Section 10.04 Stock to be Sold. The Common Stock to be issued
and sold under the Plan may be authorized but unissued shares or shares acquired

                                  CAPITAL STOCK

shall be divided into two classes as follows:

<PAGE>   2

         A. Five Hundred Million (500,000,000) shares of Common Stock, the par
value of each of which shares is One Cent ($0.01), amounting in the aggregate to
Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000); and

         B. Five Million (5,000,000) shares of Preferred Stock, the par value of
each of which shares is One Cent ($0.01), amounting in the aggregate to Fifty
Thousand Dollars ($50,000). The corporation's board of directors is hereby
expressly authorized to provide by resolution or resolutions from time to time
for the issue of the Preferred Stock in one or more series, the shares of each
of which series may have such voting powers, full or limited, or no voting
powers, and such designations, preferences and relative, participating, optional
or other special rights, and qualifications, limitations or restrictions
thereof, as shall be permitted under the General Corporation Law of the State of
Delaware and as shall be stated in the resolution or resolutions providing for
the issue of such stock adopted by the board of directors pursuant to the
authority expressly vested in the board of directors hereby.

                                    ARTICLE V
                                    DIRECTORS

          A. The business and affairs of the corporation shall be managed by or
under the direction of a board of directors consisting of such total number of
authorized directors as shall be fixed by, or in the manner provided in, the
bylaws. The board of directors shall be divided into three classes, designated
Class I, Class II and Class III. Each class shall consist, as nearly as may be
possible, of one-third of the total number of authorized directors. Class I
directors shall serve for a term ending upon the annual meeting of stockholders
held in 2000, Class II directors shall serve for a term ending upon the annual
meeting of stockholders held in 2001 and Class III directors shall serve for a
term ending upon the annual meeting of stockholders held in 2002. At each
succeeding annual meeting of stockholders beginning with the annual meeting of
stockholders held in 2000, successors to the class of directors whose term
expires at such annual meeting shall be elected for a three-year term. If the
number of directors is changed, any increase or decrease shall be apportioned
among the classes so as to maintain the number of directors in each class as
nearly equal as possible, and any additional director of any class elected to
fill a vacancy resulting from an increase in such class shall hold office for a
term that shall coincide with the remaining term of that class, but in no case
will a decrease in the number of directors shorten the term of any incumbent
directors. A director shall hold office until the annual meeting for the year in
which his or her term expires and until his or her successor shall be elected
and shall qualify, subject, however, to prior death, resignation, incapacitation
or removal from office, and except as otherwise required by law.

         B. Except as otherwise required by law, vacancies and newly created
directorships resulting from any increase in the total number of authorized
directors may be filled by a majority of the directors then in office, although
less than a quorum, or by a sole remaining director. Any director elected to
fill a vacancy not resulting from an increase in the number of directors shall
have the same remaining term as that of his or her predecessor. A director may
be removed by the stockholders only for cause.

          C. Notwithstanding the foregoing, whenever the holders of any one or
more classes or series of stock issued by the corporation shall have the right,
voting separately by class or series, to elect directors at an annual or special
meeting of stockholders, the election, term of office, filling of vacancies and
other features of such directorships shall be governed by the term of this
certificate of incorporation applicable thereto and such directors so elected
shall not be divided into classes pursuant to this Article V, in each case
unless expressly provided by such terms.

                                   ARTICLE VI
                                     BYLAWS

         In furtherance and not in limitation of the powers conferred by the
laws of the State of Delaware:

         A. The board of directors of the corporation is expressly authorized to
adopt, amend or repeal the bylaws of the corporation.

         B. Elections of directors need not be by written ballot unless the
bylaws of the corporation shall so provide.

         C. The books of the corporation may be kept at such place within or
without the State of Delaware as the bylaws of the corporation may provide or as
may be designated from time to time by the board of directors of the
corporation.

                                   ARTICLE VII
                             LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

         No director shall be personally liable to the corporation or the
holders of shares of capital stock for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary
duty as a director, except (i) for any breach of the duty of loyalty of such
director to the corporation or such holders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in
good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of
law, (iii) under Section 174 of the General Corporation Law of Delaware, or (iv)
for any transaction from which such director derives an improper personal
benefit. No amendment to or repeal of this Article VII shall apply to or have
any effect on the liability or alleged liability of any director for or with
respect to any acts or omissions of such director occurring prior to such
amendment or repeal. If the laws of the State of Delaware are hereafter amended
to authorize corporate action further eliminating or limiting the personal
liability of directors, then the liability of a director of the corporation
shall be eliminated or limited to the fullest extent then permitted. No repeal
or modification of this Article VII shall adversely affect any right of or
protection afforded to a director of the corporation existing immediately prior
to such repeal or modification.

                                  ARTICLE VIII
                                 INDEMNIFICATION

          The corporation shall indemnify and may advance expenses to its
officers and directors to the fullest extent permitted by law from time to time
in effect. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the bylaws of the
corporation may provide for indemnification and advancement of expenses to the
corporation's officers, directors, employees and agents on such terms and
conditions as the board of directors may from time to time deem appropriate or
advisable.

                                   ARTICLE IX
                             ACTION BY STOCKHOLDERS

          Effective immediately upon the corporation becoming subject to the
periodic reporting requirements of Section 13 of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, as amended, with respect to any class of its capital stock:

         A. No action required to be taken or which may be taken at any annual
or special meeting of stockholders of the corporation may be taken without a
meeting; and

                                       3
<PAGE>   4

         B. The power of the stockholders to consent in writing, without a
meeting, to the taking of any action is specifically denied.

         C. Special meetings of the stockholders of the corporation may be
called only by the board of directors pursuant to a resolution adopted by a
majority of the total number of authorized directors (whether or not there exist
any vacancies in previously authorized directorships at the time any such
resolution is presented to the Board of Directors for adoption), the chairman of
the board of directors, or the chief executive officer.

                                    ARTICLE X
                                   AMENDMENTS

         Except as provided herein, from time to time any of the provisions of
this Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation may be amended, altered
or repealed, and other provisions authorized by the laws of the State of
Delaware at the time in force may be added or inserted in the manner and at the
time prescribed by said laws, and all rights at any time conferred upon the
stockholders of the corporation by this Amended and Restated Certificate of
Incorporation are granted subject to the provisions of this Article X.
