 THE CHARLES SCHWAB CORPORATION 
 2004 STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN 
 RESTRICTED STOCK AGREEMENT 
  

			
	 Payment for
 Shares
	  	No payment is required for the shares that you are receiving.
		
	Vesting	  	Subject to the provisions of this Agreement, this award becomes vested as provided in the Notice of Restricted Stock Award, of which this Restricted Stock Agreement is a part. Unvested shares
will be considered “Restricted Shares.” If your service terminates for any reason, then your shares 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 Shares will immediately revert to Schwab. You will receive no payment for Restricted Shares 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”).
		
	 Accelerated
 Vesting
	  	This award will become fully vested if your service terminates on account of your death or disability. This award also will become fully vested if your service terminates on account of your
retirement provided that your retirement occurs at least two years after the Grant Date indicated in the Notice of Restricted Stock Award. If, prior to the date your service terminates, Schwab is subject to a “change in
control” (as defined in the Plan document), this award will become fully vested as of the date that the change in control occurs. If you are entitled to severance benefits under The Charles Schwab Severance Pay Plan (or any successor
plan), then all or a portion of your award may be eligible for accelerated vesting under the terms of that plan.
		
	 Definition of
 Disability
	  	For all purposes of this Agreement, “disability” means that you have a disability such that you have been determined to be eligible for benefits under Schwab’s
long-term disability plan.
		
	Definition of Retirement	  	If you are an employee of Schwab and its subsidiaries (other than U.S. Trust Corporation and its subsidiaries (“U.S. Trust”)),”retirement” means
termination of service for any reason other than death at any time after you attain age 50, but only if, at the time of your termination, you have been credited with at least 7 years of service. If you are an employee of U.S. Trust,

			
		  	“retirement “ means any termination of service for any reason other than death at any time after (1) you attain age 65, or (2) the sum of your age and credited
years of service, at the time of your termination, is equal to or greater than 80, or (3) you attain age 60, but only if, at the time of your termination, you have been credited with at least 10 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).
		
		  	If your employment is transferred to U.S. Trust and if you met the requirements for retirement at the time of transfer, then you will be deemed to have met the requirements of retirement at all
times thereafter.
		
	 Section 83(b)
 Election
	  	You may make an election pursuant to Section 83(b) of the Code within 30 days of the Grant Date to be taxed on the Restricted Shares prior to vesting.
		
	 Shares
 Restricted
	  	You may not sell, transfer, pledge or otherwise dispose of any Restricted Shares without Schwab’s written consent until they are vested. Restricted Shares will be issued in your name but
held by the Schwab Corporate Secretary as escrow agent. Schwab may instruct the transfer agent for its stock to place a legend on the certificates representing the Restricted Shares or may note in its records the applicable restrictions. The escrow
agent will deliver Restricted Shares to you only after they become vested and after all other terms and conditions in this Agreement have been satisfied.
		
		  	You may make a gift of Restricted Shares to your spouse, children or grandchildren or to a trust established by you for the benefit of yourself or your spouse, children or grandchildren.
However, a transferee of Restricted Shares must agree in writing on a form prescribed by Schwab to be bound by all provisions of this Agreement as a condition for the transfer prior to the Restricted Shares becoming vested.
		
	 Committee
 Discretion
	  	In its sole discretion, Schwab’s Compensation Committee (or its delegate) (the “Compensation Committee”) may lift the transfer restrictions or accelerate the
vesting of Restricted Shares at any time.
		
	 Delivery of
 Shares After
 Death
	  	In the event of your death prior to the date your service terminates, your shares will be delivered to your estate. The Compensation Committee, in its sole discretion, will determine the form
and time of the distribution of shares to your estate.

			
		
	 Restrictions
 on Resale
	  	You agree not to sell any shares at a time when applicable laws, Schwab’s policies or an agreement between Schwab and its underwriters prohibit a sale. This restriction will apply as long
as your service continues and for such period of time after the termination of your service as Schwab may specify.
		
	 Withholding
 Taxes
	  	The Restricted Shares will not be released to you unless you have made acceptable arrangements to pay any applicable withholding of income and employment taxes that may be due as a result of
this award or the vesting of the shares. With Schwab’s consent, these arrangements may include without limitation withholding shares of Schwab stock that otherwise would be issued to you when they vest.
		
	 Stockholder
 Rights
	  	As a holder of Restricted Shares, you have the same voting, dividend and other rights as Schwab’s stockholders.
		
	 Contribution
 of Par Value
	  	On your behalf Schwab will contribute to its capital an amount equal to the par value of the Restricted Shares issued to you.
		
	 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 280G of the Code or if there have been certain securities law violations, then your award may be reduced or
forfeited and you may be required to disgorge any profit that you have realized from your award.
		
		  	If a disqualified individual receives a payment or transfer under the Plan that would constitute an excess parachute payment under 280G of the Code, such payment will be reduced, as described
below. Generally, someone is a “disqualified individual” if he or she is (a) an officer of Schwab, (b) a member of the group consisting of the highest paid 1% of the employees of Schwab or, if less, the highest paid
250 employees of Schwab, or (c) a 1% stockholder of Schwab. For purposes of the section on “Limitation on Payments,” the term “Schwab “ will include affiliated corporations to the extent determined by the
Auditors in accordance with section 280G(d)(5) of the Code.
		
		  	In the event that the independent auditors most recently selected by the Schwab Board of Directors (the “Auditors”) determine that any payment or transfer in the nature
of compensation to or for your benefit, whether paid or payable (or transferred or transferable) pursuant to the terms of the Plan or

			
		
	  	  	otherwise (a “Payment “), would be nondeductible for federal income tax purposes because of the
provisions concerning “excess parachute payments” in
section 280G of the Code, then the aggregate
present value of all Payments will be reduced (but not below zero) to the Reduced Amount; provided,
however, that the Compensation Committee may specify in writing that the award will not be so
reduced
and will not be subject to reduction under this section.
		
		  	For this purpose, the “Reduced Amount “ will be the amount, expressed as a present value, which maximizes the aggregate present value of the Payments without causing any
Payment to be nondeductible by Schwab because of section 280G of the Code.
		
		  	If the Auditors determine that any Payment would be nondeductible because of section 280G of the Code, then Schwab will promptly give you notice to that effect and a copy of the detailed
calculation and of the Reduced Amount. You may then elect, in your discretion, which and how much of the Payments will be eliminated or reduced (as long as after such election, the aggregate present value of the Payments equals the Reduced Amount).
You will advise Schwab in writing of your election within 10 days of receipt of the notice. If you do not make such an election within the 10-day period, then Schwab may elect which and how much of the Payments will be eliminated or reduced (as long
as after such election the aggregate present value of the Payments equals the Reduced Amount). Schwab will notify you promptly of its election. 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 promptly as practicable following these determination and elections, Schwab will pay or transfer to or for your benefit such amounts as are then due to you under the Plan, and will promptly
pay or transfer to or for your benefit in the future such amounts as become due to you under the Plan.
		
		  	As a result of uncertainty in the application of section 280G of the Code at the time of an initial determination by the Auditors, it is possible that Payments will have been made by Schwab
which should not have been made (an “Overpayment”) or that additional Payments which will not have been made by Schwab could have been made (an “Underpayment”), consistent in each case with the
calculation of the Reduced Amount. In the event that the Auditors, based upon the assertion of a deficiency by the Internal Revenue Service against you or Schwab which the Auditors believe has a high probability of success, determine that an
Overpayment has been made, such Overpayment will be

			
		
		  	treated for all purposes as a loan to you which you will repay to Schwab on demand, together with interest at the applicable federal rate provided in section 7872(f)(2) of the Code. However,
no amount will be payable by you to Schwab if and to the extent that such payment would not reduce the amount which is subject to taxation under section 4999 of the Code. In the event that the Auditors determine that an Underpayment has occurred,
such Underpayment will promptly be paid or transferred by Schwab to or for your benefit, together with interest at the applicable federal rate provided in section 7872(f)(2) of the Code.
		
	 Claims
 Procedure
	  	You may file a claim for benefits under the Plan by following the procedures prescribed by Schwab. If your claim is denied, generally you will receive written or electronic notification of
the denial within 90 days of the date on which you filed the claim. If special circumstances require more time to make a decision about your claim, you will receive notification of when you may expect a decision. You may appeal the denial by
submitting to the Plan Administrator a written request for review within 30 days of receiving notification of the denial. Your request should include all facts upon which your appeal is based. Generally, the Plan Administrator will provide you with
written or electronic notification of its decision within 90 days after receiving the review request. If special circumstances require more time to make a decision about your request, you will receive notification of when you may expect a decision.

		
	 Plan
 Administration
	  	The Plan Administrator has discretionary authority to make all determinations related to this award and to construe the terms of the Plan, the Notice of Restricted Stock Award and this
Agreement. The Plan Administrator’s determinations are conclusive and binding on all persons.
		
	Adjustments	  	In the event of a stock split, a stock dividend or a similar change in Schwab stock, the number of Restricted Shares 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 California (without regard to their choice-of-law provisions), as such laws are applied to contracts entered
into and performed in California.

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

 THE CHARLES SCHWAB CORPORATION 
 2004 STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN 
 NONQUALIFIED STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT 

 

			
	Tax Treatment	 	This option is a nonqualified stock option and is not intended to qualify as an incentive stock option under federal tax laws.
		
	Vesting	 	Subject to the provisions of this Agreement, this option becomes vested in installments as described in the Notice of Stock Option Grant.
		
	 Accelerated
 Vesting
	 	This option will become fully exercisable if your service with Schwab and its subsidiaries terminates on account of your death or disability.

its subsidiaries terminates on account of your retirement provided that your retirement occurs at least two years after the Grant Date indicated in the Notice of Stock Option Grant.
		
		 	If, prior to the date your service terminates, Schwab is subject to a “change in control” (as defined in the Plan document), this option will become fully exercisable
immediately preceding the change in control. If Schwab’s Compensation Committee (or its delegate) (the “Compensation Committee”) determines that a change in control is likely to occur, Schwab will advise you and this
option will become fully exercisable as of the date 10 days prior to the anticipated date of the change in control.

 Disability
	 	For all purposes of this Agreement, “disability” means that you have a disability such that you have been determined to be eligible for benefits under Schwab’s

		 	 •     any termination of employment with Schwab and its subsidiaries with the exception of U.S. Trust

death at any time after (1) you attain age 65, (2) the sum of your age and credited years of service, at the time of your termination, is equal to or greater than 80, or (3) you attain age 60, but only if, at the time of your termination, you have
been credited with at least 10 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).
		
	 Exercise
 Procedures
	 	You or your representative may exercise this option by following the procedures prescribed by Schwab. If this option is being exercised by your representative, your representative must furnish

forms:

or retirement. The terms “disability” and “retirement” are defined above.

disability.
		
		 	If you cease to be an employee of Schwab and its subsidiaries by reason of your retirement, then this option will expire on the second anniversary of the date of your
retirement.
		
	 Effect of
 Entitlement to
 Severance
	 	If you are entitled to severance benefits under The Charles Schwab Severance Pay Plan (or any successor plan), then vesting of this option shall be determined under the terms of that
plan.

			
	 Cancellation of
 Options
	 	To the fullest extent permitted by applicable laws, this option will immediately be cancelled and expire in the event that Schwab terminates your employment on account of conduct contrary to the

	 Restrictions on
 Exercise and
 Issuance or
 Transfer of
 Shares
	 	You cannot exercise this option and no shares of Schwab stock may be issued under this option if the issuance of shares at that time would violate any applicable law, regulation or rule. Schwab
may impose restrictions upon the sale, pledge or other transfer of shares (including the placement of appropriate legends on stock certificates) if, in the judgment of Schwab and its counsel, such restrictions are necessary or desirable to comply
with applicable law, regulations or rules.
		
	 Stockholder
 Rights
	 	You, or your estate or heirs, have no rights as a stockholder of Schwab until you have exercised this option by giving the required notice to Schwab and paying the exercise price. No adjustments
are made for dividends or other rights if the applicable record date occurs before you exercise this option, except as described in the Plan.
		
	 No Right to
 Employment
	 	Nothing in this Agreement will be construed as giving you the right to be retained as an employee, consultant or director of Schwab and its subsidiaries for any specific duration or at
all.
		
	 Transfer of
 Option
	 	In general, only you may exercise this option prior to your death. You may not transfer or assign this option, except as provided below. For instance, you may not sell this option or use it as
security for a loan. If you attempt to do any of these things, this option will immediately become invalid. You may, however, dispose of this option in your will or in a beneficiary designation.
		
		 	You may transfer this option as a gift to one or more family members. For this purpose, “family member” means a child, stepchild, grandchild, parent, stepparent,
grandparent, spouse, former spouse, sibling, niece, nephew, mother-in-law, father-in-law, son-in-law, daughter-in-law, brother-in-law or sister-in-law (including adoptive relationships), any individual sharing your household, e.g., a domestic
partner, other than a tenant or employee, a trust in which one or more of these individuals have more than 50% of the beneficial interest, a foundation in which you or one or more of these persons control the management of assets, and any entity in
which you or one or more of these persons own more than 50% of the voting interest.

			
		 	Schwab may, in its sole discretion, allow you to transfer this option under a domestic relations order in settlement of marital or domestic property rights.
		
		 	In order to transfer this option, you and the transferee(s) must execute the forms prescribed by Schwab, which include the consent of the transferee(s) to be bound by this
Agreement.
		
	 Limitation on
 Payments
	 	If a payment from the Plan would constitute an excess parachute payment or if there have been certain securities law violations, then your award may be reduced or cancelled and you may be
required to disgorge any profit that you have realized from your award.
		
		 	If a disqualified individual receives a payment or transfer under the Plan that would constitute an excess parachute payment under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the
“Code”), such payment will be reduced, as described below. Generally, someone is a “disqualified individual” if he or she is (a) an officer of Schwab, (b) a member of the group consisting of the
highest paid 1% of the employees of Schwab or, if less, the highest paid 250 employees of Schwab, or (c) a 1% stockholder of Schwab. For purposes of the section on “Limitation on Payments,” the term “Schwab” will
include affiliated corporations to the extent determined by the Auditors in accordance with section 280G(d)(5) of the Code.
		
		 	In the event that the independent auditors most recently selected by the Schwab Board of Directors (the “Auditors”) determine that any payment or transfer in the
nature of compensation to or for your benefit, whether paid or payable (or transferred or transferable) pursuant to the terms of the Plan or otherwise (a “Payment”), would be nondeductible for federal income tax purposes
because of the provisions concerning “excess parachute payments” in section 280G of the Code, then the aggregate present value of all Payments will be reduced (but not below zero) to the Reduced Amount; provided, however, that the

		 	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

		 	may elect which and how much of the Payments will be eliminated or reduced (as long as after such election the aggregate present value of the Payments equals the Reduced Amount). Schwab will
notify you promptly of its election. 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 promptly as practicable following these determination and elections, Schwab will pay or transfer to or for your benefit such amounts as are then due to you under the Plan, and will promptly
pay or transfer to or for your benefit in the future such amounts as become due to you under the Plan.
		
		 	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
