THE CHARLES SCHWAB CORPORATION 2004 STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN

Vesting Date

If your service terminates on account of your retirement and your retirement occurs at least two years after the Grant Date indicated in the Notice of Restricted Stock Award, you will be treated as in service in good standing for purposes of determining further vesting of the award.

If you are entitled to severance benefits under The Charles Schwab Severance Pay Plan (or any successor plan), then you may be treated as in service in good standing during your Severance Period for purposes of determining further vesting of the award under the terms of that plan.

If you are an employee of Schwab and its subsidiaries, “retirement” means termination of service for any reason other than death at any time after you attain age 55, 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).

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.

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 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.
