THE CHARLES SCHWAB CORPORATION
[2013 STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN]
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 The Charles Schwab Corporation (“Schwab”).

	Vesting

	Subject to the provisions of this Restricted Stock Unit Agreement (“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 Grant.

(2)   Your death.

(3)   Your disability.

(4)   Your separation from service, if the separation qualifies as a retirement or a severance eligible termination (provided that vesting shall occur upon a severance eligible termination only to the extent provided in The Charles Schwab Severance Pay Plan (or any successor plan)).

(5)   A change in control.

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. For all purposes of this Agreement, “service” means continuous employment as a common-law employee of Schwab or a parent corporation or 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”).

	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.

1

	
		
	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 and due to which you have been determined to be eligible for benefits under Schwab’s long-term disability plan or if you are not covered by Schwab’s long-term disability plan, you are unable to engage in any substantial gainful activity by reason of any medically determinable physical or mental impairment which has lasted, or can be expected to last, for a continuous period of not less than 12 months or which can be expected to result in death as determined by Schwab in its sole discretion.

	Definition of
Retirement
	If you are an employee of Schwab and its subsidiaries, "retirement" means a separation from service for any reason other than death at any time after the earlier of when you attain age 55, but only if, at the time of your separation, you have been credited with at least 10 years of service or when you attain age 65, but only if, at the time of your termination, you have been credited with at least 5 years of service. 

The phrase "years of service" above has the same meaning given to it under The SchwabPlan Retirement Savings and Investment Plan (or any successor plan). 

	Definition of Severance
Eligible Termination
	For all purposes of this Agreement, "severance eligible termination" means a separation from service entitling you to severance benefits when you have signed your Severance Agreement under The Charles Schwab Severance Pay Plan (or any successor plan).

	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 Charles Schwab Corporation 2013 Stock Incentive Plan] (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 Schwab (“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

2

	
		
	 
	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 (either a retirement or a severance eligible termination) shall be distributed within 90 days of the separation from service. Generally, for severance eligible terminations, the distribution date shall be the "termination date" specified in the notice under The Charles Schwab Severance Pay Plan. 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. 

Schwab may, in its sole discretion, allow you to transfer these Restricted Stock Units under a domestic relations order in settlement of marital or domestic property rights.

In order to transfer these Restricted Stock Units, you and the transferee(s) must follow the procedures prescribed by Schwab, and the transferee(s) must follow the terms of this Agreement.

	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 with Schwab.  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. 

3

	
		
	Cancellation of Restricted Stock Units
	To the fullest extent permitted by applicable laws, these Restricted Stock Units will immediately be cancelled and will expire in the event that Schwab terminates your employment on account of conduct contrary to the best interests of Schwab, including, without limitation, conduct constituting a violation of law or Schwab policy, fraud, theft, conflict of interest, dishonesty or harassment. The determination whether your employment has been terminated on account of conduct inimical to the best interests of Schwab shall be made by Schwab in its sole discretion, and will be entitled to deference upon any review.

	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.

	Withholding Taxes

	Shares will not be distributed unless you have made acceptable arrangements to pay any applicable withholding taxes that may be due as a result of the vesting and or the distribution of the Shares.  These arrangements may include withholding Shares.  Schwab may withhold the number of whole Shares, valued at the fair market value on the applicable date, required to satisfy such applicable withholding taxes.  Schwab will round up to the next whole Share to cover the applicable withholding taxes, and any amounts in excess of the applicable withholding taxes resulting from rounding up to the next whole Share will be added to your federal income tax withholdings.  In the event you do not elect to pay applicable withholding taxes in cash, Schwab shall withhold Shares as noted above.

Applicable withholding taxes due on the distribution of Shares subject to this award following termination of employment will be withheld as noted above, unless you have made acceptable arrangements to pay any applicable withholding taxes in cash. If you elect to pay applicable withholding taxes due upon the distribution of Shares in cash, you are responsible for having sufficient funds in your Schwab brokerage account to cover the applicable withholding taxes at the time they are due.

Any withholding taxes due prior to distribution of Shares (e.g., under section 3121(v)(2) of the Code upon retirement eligibility) shall be paid by accelerating the vesting of and withholding of Shares payable in connection with such

4

	
		
	 
	Restricted Stock Units for participants other than executive officers of Schwab (i.e., individuals holding the office of Executive Vice President or above), who shall pay such withholding taxes in cash upon Schwab’s request.  Prior to the distribution of Shares, the number of Shares accelerated and withheld for withholding taxes will be rounded down to the next whole Share, and any amounts of less than the fair market value of a Share will be deducted from your pay to cover the applicable withholding taxes due prior to distribution of Shares.  Participants may not make any election as to the payment of withholding taxes due prior to the distribution of Shares (e.g., under section 3121(v)(2) of the Code upon retirement eligibility).

	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 15 of the year following the year the actual dividend is paid.

	No Right to Remain
Employee

	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 section 280G of the Code or if there have been certain securities law violations, then your grant may be reduced or forfeited and you may be required to disgorge any profit that you have realized from your grant. 

If a disqualified individual receives a payment or transfer under the Plan that would constitute an excess parachute payment under section 280G of the Code, such payment will be reduced, as described below.  Generally, someone is a “disqualified individual” under section 280G 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,

5

	
		
	 
	the highest paid 250 employees of Schwab, or (c) a 1% stockholder of Schwab.  For purposes of this 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 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 (as defined below); provided, however, that the Compensation Committee (the “Compensation Committee”) of the Board of Directors may specify in writing that the grant 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 the Payments equals the Reduced Amount and is consistent with any mandatory eliminations or reductions that apply under other agreements or the Plan).  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 that should not have been made (an “Overpayment”)

6

	
		
	 
	or that additional Payments that 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 the Auditors, based upon the assertion of a deficiency by the Internal Revenue Service against you or Schwab that 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 that is subject to taxation under section 4999 of the Code.  In the event 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.

	 
	 

	Plan Administration

	The Plan administrator has discretionary authority to make all determinations related to this grant and to construe the terms of the Plan, the Notice of Restricted Stock Unit Grant and this Agreement. The Plan administrator’s determinations are conclusive and binding on all persons, and they are entitled to deference upon any review. 

	Adjustments

	In the event of a stock split, a stock dividend or a similar change in the Shares, 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 (including the Additional Terms and Conditions for Non-U.S. Recipients and the Country-Specific Provisions), the Notice of Restricted Stock Unit

7

	
		
	 
	Grant, and the Plan constitute the entire understanding between you and Schwab regarding this grant.  Any prior agreements, commitments or negotiations concerning this grant 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.

ADDITIONAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR NON-U.S. RECIPIENTS

The additional (or, if so indicated, different) terms and conditions set forth below are specifically incorporated into the Restricted Stock Unit Agreement (the “Agreement”) for awards granted outside the United States (“U.S.”). These terms and conditions govern the Restricted Stock Units granted under the Plan if you reside or work outside of the U.S. Due to the complexities of legal, regulatory and tax issues, you should seek appropriate professional advice as to how the relevant laws in the applicable country may apply to your individual situation.

Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Plan and/or the Agreement.

Withholding Taxes: the following provisions supplement the Withholding Taxes section of the Restricted Stock Unit Agreement: 

You acknowledge that, regardless of any action taken by Schwab or, if different, your employer (“Employer”), the ultimate liability for all income tax, social insurance, payroll tax, fringe benefits tax, payment on account or other tax-related items related to your participation in the Plan and legally applicable to you (“withholding taxes”), is and remains your responsibility and may exceed the amount, if any, actually withheld by Schwab or your Employer. You further acknowledge that Schwab and/or your Employer (1) make no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any withholding taxes in connection with any aspect of the Restricted Stock Units, including, but not limited to, the grant, vesting or settlement of the Restricted Stock Units, the subsequent sale of Shares acquired pursuant to such settlement and the receipt of any dividends and/or any dividend equivalents; and (2) do not commit to and are under no obligation to structure the terms of the grant or any aspect of the Restricted Stock Units to reduce or eliminate your liability for withholding taxes or achieve any particular tax result. Further, if you are subject to withholding taxes in more than one jurisdiction, you acknowledge that Schwab and/or your Employer (or former employer, as applicable) may be required to withhold or account for withholding taxes in more than one jurisdiction.

Prior to any relevant taxable or tax withholding event, as applicable, you agree to make adequate arrangements satisfactory to Schwab and/or the Employer to satisfy all withholding taxes.

In this regard, you authorize Schwab and/or the Employer, or their respective agents, at their discretion, to satisfy any applicable withholding obligations with regard to all withholding taxes by one or a combination of the following:  (a) withholding from your wages or other cash compensation paid to you by Schwab and/or the Employer; (b) withholding from funds in your Schwab brokerage account; (c) requiring you to make a cash payment in an amount equal to the withholding obligations for withholding taxes; (d) withholding from proceeds of the sale of Shares acquired upon settlement of the Restricted Stock Units either through a voluntary sale or through a mandatory sale arranged by Schwab (on your behalf pursuant to this authorization without further consent); (e) withholding in Shares to be issued upon settlement of the Restricted Stock Units; or (f) any other method of withholding determined by Schwab and permitted by applicable law.

Depending on the withholding method, Schwab may withhold or account for withholding taxes by considering applicable minimum statutory withholding rates or other applicable withholding 

9

rates, including maximum applicable rates in your jurisdiction(s), in which case you may receive a refund of any over-withheld amount in cash and will have no entitlement to the equivalent in Shares. If the obligation for withholding taxes is satisfied by withholding in Shares, for tax purposes, you are deemed to have been issued the full number of Shares subject to the vested Restricted Stock Units, notwithstanding that a number of the Shares are held back solely for the purpose of paying the withholding taxes.

Nature of Grant: In accepting the grant, you acknowledge, understand and agree that:

		
	(1)
	the Plan is established voluntarily by Schwab, it is discretionary in nature and it may be modified, amended, suspended or terminated by Schwab at any time, to the extent permitted by the Plan;

		
	(2)
	the grant of the Restricted Stock Units is exceptional, voluntary and occasional and does not create any contractual or other right to receive future grants of Restricted Stock Units, or benefits in lieu of Restricted Stock Units, even if Restricted Stock Units have been granted in the past; 

		
	(3)
	all decisions with respect to future Restricted Stock Units or other grants, if any, will be at the sole discretion of Schwab; 

		
	(4)
	you are voluntarily participating in the Plan; 

		
	(5)
	the Restricted Stock Units, the Shares subject to the Restricted Stock Units, and the income and value of same, are not intended to replace any pension rights or compensation;

		
	(6)
	the Restricted Stock Units and the Shares subject to the Restricted Stock Units, and the income and value of same, are not part of normal or expected compensation for any purpose, including calculating any severance, resignation, termination, redundancy, dismissal, end-of-service payments, bonuses, holiday pay, long-service awards, pension or retirement or welfare benefits or similar mandatory payments;  

		
	(7)
	unless otherwise agreed with Schwab, the Restricted Stock Units and the Shares subject to the Restricted Stock Units, and the income and value of same, are not granted as consideration for, or in connection with, the service you may provide as a director of a subsidiary of Schwab;

		
	(8)
	the future value of the underlying Shares is unknown, indeterminable and cannot be predicted with certainty; 

		
	(9)
	for purposes of the Restricted Stock Units, your service will be considered terminated as of the date you are no longer actively providing services to Schwab and its subsidiaries (regardless of the reason for such termination and whether or not later found to be invalid or in breach of employment laws in the jurisdiction where you are employed or the terms of your employment agreement, if any), and unless otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement or determined by Schwab, your right to vest in the Restricted Stock Units under the Plan, if any, will terminate as of such date and will not be extended by any 

10

notice period (e.g., your period of service would not include any contractual notice period or any period of “garden leave” or similar period mandated under employment laws in the jurisdiction where you are employed or the terms of your employment agreement, if any); the Plan administrator shall have the exclusive discretion to determine when you are no longer actively providing services for purposes of your Restricted Stock Unit grant (including whether you may still be considered to be providing services while on a leave of absence);

		
	(10)
	unless otherwise provided in the Plan or by Schwab in its discretion, the Restricted Stock Units and the benefits evidenced by this Agreement do not create any entitlement to have the Restricted Stock Units or any such benefits transferred to, or assumed by, another company nor to be exchanged, cashed out or substituted for, in connection with any corporate transaction affecting the Shares; and 

		
	(11)
	neither Schwab, its subsidiaries nor your Employer shall be liable for any foreign exchange rate fluctuation between your local currency and the United States Dollar that may affect the value of the Restricted Stock Units or of any amounts due to you pursuant to the settlement of the Restricted Stock Units or the subsequent sale of any Shares acquired upon settlement.

No Advice Regarding Grant: Schwab is not providing any tax, legal or financial advice, nor is Schwab making any recommendations regarding your participation in the Plan, or your acquisition or sale of the underlying Shares. You should consult with your own personal tax, legal and financial advisors regarding your participation in the Plan before taking any action related to the Plan.

Compliance with Law: Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan or this Agreement, unless there is an available exemption from any registration, qualification or other legal requirement applicable to the Shares, Schwab shall not be required to deliver any Shares issuable upon settlement of the Restricted Stock Units prior to the completion of any registration or qualification of the Shares under any local, state, federal or foreign securities or exchange control law or under rulings or regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) or of any other governmental regulatory body, or prior to obtaining any approval or other clearance from any local, state, federal or foreign governmental agency, which registration, qualification or approval Schwab shall, in its absolute discretion, deem necessary or advisable. You understand that Schwab is under no obligation to register or qualify the Shares with the SEC or any state or foreign securities commission or to seek approval or clearance from any governmental authority for the issuance or sale of the Shares. Further, you agree that Schwab shall have unilateral authority to amend the Agreement without your consent to the extent necessary to comply with securities or other laws applicable to issuance of Shares.

Insider Trading/Market Abuse Laws:  You acknowledge that you may be subject to insider trading restrictions and/or market abuse laws based on the exchange on which the Shares are listed and in applicable jurisdictions including the United States and your country or your broker’s country, if different, which may affect your ability to accept, acquire, sell or otherwise dispose of Shares, rights to Shares (e.g., Restricted Stock Units) or rights linked to the value of Shares (e.g., dividend equivalents) during such times you are considered to have “inside information” regarding Schwab (as defined in the laws or regulations in applicable jurisdictions).

11

Any restrictions under these laws or regulations are separate from and in addition to any restrictions that may be imposed under any applicable Schwab insider trading policy. You acknowledge that it is your responsibility to comply with any applicable restrictions and are advised to speak to your personal advisor on this matter.

Foreign Asset/Account Reporting: Please be aware that your country may have certain foreign asset and/or account reporting requirements which may affect your ability to acquire or hold Shares under the Plan or cash received from participating in the Plan (including from any dividends or dividend equivalents received or sale proceeds arising from the sale of Shares) in a brokerage or bank account outside your country. You may be required to report such accounts, assets or transactions to the tax or other authorities in your country. You acknowledge that it is your responsibility to be compliant with such regulations, and you should speak to your personal advisor on this matter.

Data Privacy: You hereby explicitly and unambiguously consent to the collection, use and transfer, in electronic or other form, of your personal data as described in this Agreement and any other Restricted Stock Unit grant materials (“Data”) by and among, as applicable, your Employer, Schwab and its subsidiaries for the exclusive purpose of implementing, administering and managing your participation in the Plan.

You understand that Schwab and your Employer may hold certain personal information about you, including, but not limited to, your name, home address and telephone number, email address, date of birth, social insurance, passport or other identification number, salary, nationality, job title, any Shares or directorships held in Schwab, details of all Restricted Stock Units or any other entitlement to Shares awarded, canceled, exercised, vested, unvested or outstanding in your favor, for the exclusive purpose of implementing, administering and managing the Plan.

You understand that Data will be transferred to Schwab, or such other stock plan service provider as may be selected by Schwab in the future, which is assisting Schwab with the implementation, administration and management of the Plan. You understand that the recipients of the Data may be located in the United States or elsewhere, and that the recipients’ country (e.g., the United States) may have different data privacy laws and protections than your country. You understand that if you reside outside the United States, you may request a list with the names and addresses of any potential recipients of the Data by contacting your local human resources representative. You authorize Schwab and any other possible recipients which may assist Schwab (presently or in the future) with implementing, administering and managing the Plan to receive, possess, use, retain and transfer the Data, in electronic or other form, for the sole purpose of implementing, administering and managing your participation in the Plan. You understand that Data will be held only as long as is necessary to implement, administer and manage your participation in the Plan. You understand that if you reside outside the United States, you may, at any time, view Data, request additional information about the storage and processing of Data, require any necessary amendments to Data or refuse or withdraw the consents herein, in any case without cost, by contacting in writing your local human resources representative. Further, you understand that you are providing the consents herein on a purely voluntary basis. If you do not consent, or if you later seek to revoke your consent, your employment status or service with your Employer will not be affected; the only consequence of refusing or withdrawing your 

12

consent is that Schwab would not be able to grant you Restricted Stock Units or other equity awards or administer or maintain such awards. Therefore, you understand that refusing or withdrawing your consent may affect your ability to participate in the Plan. For more information on the consequences of your refusal to consent or withdrawal of consent, you understand that you may contact your local human resources representative.

Without limitation to the “Withholding Taxes” section of the Agreement, you agree that you are liable for all withholding taxes and hereby covenant to pay all such withholding taxes as and when requested by Schwab or your Employer or by Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs (“HMRC”) (or any other tax authority or any other relevant authority).

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SECTION 1.     PURPOSE OF THE PLAN

     The Charles Schwab Corporation Corporate Executive Bonus Plan (the "Plan") is established to promote the interests of The Charles Schwab Corporation (the “Corporation”) and its Subsidiaries (as defined in Section 3.(b) below and, collectively with the Corporation, the "Company"), by creating an incentive program to (a) attract and retain employees with outstanding competencies who will strive for excellence; (b) motivate those individuals to exert their best efforts on behalf of the Company by providing them with compensation in addition to their base salaries; and (c) further link the interests of such employees with those of the Corporation's stockholders through a strong performance-based reward system.

1

SECTION 2.     ADMINISTRATION OF THE PLAN

     The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Corporation (the "Committee") shall administer the Plan. The Committee shall be composed solely of two or more "outside directors" within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.162-27 (or any successor regulation) and shall be appointed pursuant to the Bylaws of the Corporation.  The members of the Committee shall be ineligible for awards under this Plan for services performed while serving on the Committee. The Committee shall have discretionary authority to interpret the Plan, establish rules and regulations to implement the Plan, and make all determinations deemed necessary or advisable for the administration of the Plan, in its sole discretion. Decisions of the Committee shall be final and binding on all parties who have an interest in the Plan.

SECTION 3.     ELIGIBILITY FOR AWARDS

(a)       Eligibility Requirements. Awards under the Plan may be granted by the Committee to those Employees holding Executive Vice President or comparable or higher executive-level positions with the Company (each an “eligible Employee”). 

(b)       Definition of Employee.  For purposes of the Plan, an individual shall be considered an "Employee" if he or she is employed by the Corporation or other business entity in which the Corporation shall directly or indirectly own, at the time of determination, stock possessing 50% or more of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock or other ownership interest (each a "Subsidiary").  No award may be granted to a member of the Corporation’s Board of Directors except for services performed as an employee of the Company.

SECTION 4.     BONUS AWARDS

(a)       Form of Awards.  Bonus awards under this Plan shall be paid, less applicable withholdings and deductions, in (i) cash and/or (ii) stock and/or stock-based awards granted under The Charles Schwab Corporation 2013 Stock Incentive Plan.

(b)       Target Award Amounts.  Target award amounts shall be based on a percentage of each eligible Employee’s annual base salary or expressed as a dollar amount for each performance period as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion at the time specified in Section 4.(c)(1) below.

(c)       Bonus Formula and Award Amounts.  

(1)    The bonus awards for each eligible Employee shall be determined according to a formula and/or a matrix or matrices that shall be adopted by the Committee not later than 90 days after the commencement of the performance period, i.e., the period of service to which the performance goal relates, and at a time when the outcome of the performance goal is substantially uncertain.  Notwithstanding the 90-day 

2

deadline specified in the prior sentence, in the event that a performance period is less than 12 months, the Committee shall establish the performance formula and/or performance matrix or matrices on or before the date when 25 percent of the performance period (as scheduled in good faith at the time the performance goal is established) has elapsed.  

(2)    The formula or matrix or matrices may be different for each eligible Employee and shall be based on one or more objective performance criteria to be selected by the Committee from among the following performance criteria measured on a pre- tax, post-tax, operating, reported, consolidated, Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”), adjusted GAAP, and/or non-GAAP basis: income; profit; profit margin; revenue; revenue growth; cash flow; stockholder return; net income; client net new assets; levels of client assets or sales (of products, offers or services); earnings per share; return on stockholders’ equity; return on stockholders’ common equity; return on investment; earnings; earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT); earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA); earnings; net earnings; operating cash flow; free cash flow; free cash flow per share; cash flow return; economic value added; market value added; total stockholder return; stockholder value; debt/capital ratio; return on total capital; market share of assets; return on assets; return on net assets; return on capital employed; cost control; Corporation common stock price; capital expenditures; price/earnings growth ratio; sales; sales volume; book value per share; cost of capital; cost of equity; and changes between years or periods that are determined with respect to any of the above-listed performance criteria. Performance criteria may be measured solely on a corporate, subsidiary, enterprise or business unit basis, or a combination thereof. Further, performance criteria may reflect absolute entity performance or a relative comparison of entity performance to the performance of a peer group of entities or other external measure of the selected performance criteria.  

(3)    In determining whether any performance goals have been satisfied, the Committee may exclude any or all extraordinary items (as determined under GAAP, unless otherwise specified by the Committee), and any other unusual or non-recurring items, including but not limited to, (i) charges, costs, benefits, gains or income  associated with reorganizations or restructurings of the Company, discontinued operations, goodwill, other intangible assets, long-lived assets (non-cash), real estate (e.g., costs related to lease terminations or facility closure obligations), litigation or the resolution of litigation (e.g., attorneys’ fees, settlement amounts or judgments), or currency/commodity fluctuations; and (ii) the effects of changes in applicable laws, regulations or accounting principles.  In addition, the Committee may adjust any performance goal for a year as it deems equitable to recognize unusual or non-recurring events affecting the Company, changes in tax law or accounting procedures, mergers, acquisitions and divestitures, or any other factors as the Committee may determine.  To the extent that a performance goal is based on the Corporation’s common stock, then in the event of any stock dividend, stock split, spin-off, split-off, spin-out, recapitalization or other change in the capital structure of the Corporation, merger, consolidation, reorganization, combination of shares, partial or complete liquidation or other distribution of assets (other than a normal cash dividend), issuance of rights or warrants to purchase securities or any other corporate transaction having an effect similar to any of the 

3

foregoing, the Committee shall make or provide for such adjustments in performance goals as the Committee in its sole discretion may in good faith determine to be equitably required in order to prevent dilution or enlargement of the rights of eligible Employees.  The Committee shall also adjust the terms and conditions of, and the criteria included in, awards in recognition of unusual or nonrecurring events affecting the Company or the financial statements of the Company or of changes in applicable laws, regulations, or accounting principles, whenever the Committee determines that such adjustments are needed to prevent unintended dilution or enlargement of the benefits or potential benefits intended to be made available under the Plan. The Committee shall only make  exclusions and adjustments described in this paragraph when (i) the Committee specifies in writing (not later than the time the performance goals are required to be established) which exclusions and adjustments the Committee will apply to determine whether a performance goal has been satisfied, as well as an objective manner for applying them, and (ii) the Committee determines that such exclusions and adjustments may apply without causing the award to fail to qualify as performance-based compensation under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, (the “Code”).

(4)    Awards shall be determined by applying the bonus formula to the target award amount of each eligible Employee. Except in the case of the Chief Executive Officer, payouts described in this subsection shall be calculated and paid on the basis of a quarterly or annual performance period, or a combination thereof, as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion.  In the case of the Chief Executive Officer, payouts described in this subsection shall be made on an annual basis, based on the Company’s results for the full year.  Unless otherwise provided by the Committee, awards that become payable shall be paid not later than 21⁄2 months after the end of the applicable performance period.

(d)       Maximum Award Amounts.  The maximum award that may be paid to any eligible Employee (other than the Chief Executive Officer) under this Plan for any calendar year shall not exceed $8 million as calculated by the Committee at the end of the performance period.  The maximum award that may be paid to the Chief Executive Officer under this Plan for any calendar year shall not exceed $15 million as calculated by the Committee at the end of the performance period.  An eligible Employee may only receive one award under this Plan for any calendar year.

(e)       Power to Reduce Bonus Amounts.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Plan, the Committee shall have the power, in its sole discretion, to reduce, but not increase, the amount payable to any eligible Employee including the Chief Executive Officer (or to determine that no amount shall be payable to such eligible Employee) with respect to any award prior to the time the amount otherwise would have become payable hereunder. It is expressly permissible to reduce the amount otherwise payable to zero.  Such reductions may be based upon the recommendations of the Chief Executive Officer.  In the event of such a reduction, the amount of such reduction shall not increase the amounts payable to other eligible Employees under the Plan.

  

4

(f)       Entitlement to Bonus. No eligible Employee shall earn any portion of a bonus award under the Plan until the last day of the relevant performance period and only if the Committee has approved the bonus award and, to the extent required by section 162(m) of the Code, has certified that the applicable performance criteria have been satisfied.

(g)       Termination of Employment and Leaves of Absence.  Except in the event of retirement, death, or disability, if an Employee ceases to be employed by the Company for any reason on or before the date when a bonus is earned, then he or she shall not earn or receive payment of such bonus under the Plan.  If an eligible Employee is on an unpaid leave of absence for a portion of the relevant performance period, the Committee may award a bonus at the end of the performance period based on the achievement of the performance criteria, and such bonus shall be prorated to reflect only the time when he or she was actively employed and not any period when he or she was on leave, except to the extent the Committee determines in its sole discretion that it will not prorate such bonus. In the event of retirement, death, or disability before the last day of the relevant performance period, the Committee shall have the sole discretion to waive the requirement of being employed on the last day of the relevant performance period and award a bonus at the end of the performance period based on the achievement of the performance criteria.  For all purposes of the Plan, “retirement” will mean any termination of employment with the Company for any reason other than death at any time after the Employee has attained (i) age 55, but only if, at the time of termination, the Employee has been credited with at least ten (10) Years of Service under the Schwab Plan Retirement Savings and Investment Plan (“Years of Service”) or (ii) age 65, but only if, at the time of termination, the Employee has been credited with at least five (5) Years of Service.

(h)       Change in Control.  The Committee may, in its sole discretion, provide that an eligible Employee shall be eligible for a full or prorated award in the event of a change in control of the Corporation.  In the Committee’s sole discretion, any such full or prorated award may be paid under the provisions of this Section 4.(h) prior to when the applicable performance target is certified (or without regard to whether it is certified).

SECTION 5.     PAYMENT OF BONUS AWARDS

     Bonus awards that are earned and payable shall be paid to each eligible Employee on or after January 1st and on or before March 15th of the calendar year immediately following the end of the Corporation’s fiscal year on which the award is based, regardless of whether the individual has remained in Employee status through the date of payment.

SECTION 6.     GENERAL PROVISIONS

(a)       Plan Amendments.  The Board of Directors of the Corporation or the Committee may at any time amend, suspend or terminate the Plan, provided that it must do so in a written resolution and such action shall not adversely affect rights and interests of eligible Employees to individual bonus awards granted to such amendment, suspension or termination. Stockholder approval shall be obtained for any amendment to the extent 

5

necessary and desirable to qualify the awards hereunder as performance-based compensation under section 162(m) of the Code and to comply with applicable laws, regulations or rules.

(b)       Benefits Unfunded.  No amounts awarded or accrued under this Plan shall be funded, set aside or otherwise segregated prior to payment.  The obligation to pay the bonuses awarded hereunder shall at all times be an unfunded and unsecured obligation of the Company.  Eligible Employees shall have the status of general creditors and shall look solely to the general assets of the Company for the payment of their bonus awards.

(c)    Benefits Nontransferable.  No eligible Employee shall have the right to alienate, pledge or encumber his or her interest in this Plan, and such interest shall not (to the extent permitted by law) be subject in any way to the claims of the Employee's creditors or to attachment, execution or other process of law.  In the event of the death of an eligible Employee, the payment, if any, shall be made to the persons identified in the applicable beneficiary designation form.  In the event there is no applicable beneficiary designation form, the payment, if any, shall be made to the executor or administrator of the estate of the deceased eligible Employee.

(d)       No Employment Rights.  No action of the Company in establishing the Plan, no action taken under the Plan by the Committee and no provision of the Plan itself shall be construed to grant any person the right to remain in the employ of the Company for any period of specific duration.  Rather, each Employee will be employed "at will," which means that either such Employee or the Company may terminate the employment relationship at any time and for any reason, with or without cause or notice.  Only the Chief Executive Officer has the authority to enter into an agreement on any other terms, and he or she can only do so in a writing signed by him or her.  No Employee shall have the right to any future award under the Plan.

(e)       Exclusive Agreement.  This Plan document is the full and complete agreement between the eligible Employees and the Company on the terms described herein.

(f)       Governing Law.  The Plan and any actions taken in connection herewith shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the state of Delaware (without regard to applicable Delaware principles of conflict of laws).

(g)       Section 162(m) of the Code.  The Plan will be interpreted and administered in a manner that will qualify bonus awards as performance-based compensation under section 162(m) of the Code, except when the Committee determines such compliance is not necessary or desirable.  In the event that changes are made to section 162(m) of the Code that permit greater flexibility with respect to bonus awards made under the Plan, the Committee may make related adjustments that it deems appropriate.

(h)     Section 409A of the Code.    Payments under the Plan are intended to qualify as short-term deferrals exempt from the requirements of section 409A of the Code.  To the extent that any payment under this Plan does not qualify for exemption from section 

6

409A of the Code, the Company intends for such payment to comply with the requirements of section 409A and the Department of Treasury rulings and regulations thereunder (collectively, “Section 409A”). Accordingly, to the extent applicable, this Plan shall at all times be interpreted and operated in accordance with the requirements of Section 409A. The Company shall take action, or refrain from taking any action, with respect to the payments and benefits under this Plan that is reasonably necessary to comply with Section 409A. In the event that any payment under the Plan shall be deemed not to comply with Section 409A, then neither the Company, the Board of Directors of the Corporation, the Committee nor their designees, agents, affiliates, assigns or successors (each a “protected party”) shall be liable to any eligible Employee or other person for actions, inactions, decisions, indecisions or any other role in relation to the Plan by a protected party if made or undertaken in good faith or in reliance on the advice of counsel (who may be counsel for the Company), or made or undertaken by someone other than a protected party.

(i)     Recoupment Policy.  Notwithstanding other provisions of the Plan, awards under the Plan are subject to the Corporation’s recoupment policy as in effect from time to time and, in accordance with such policy, may be subject to the requirement that the Awards be repaid to the Company after they have been distributed to the eligible Employee.
