Part I – FINANCIAL INFORMATION

THE CHARLES SCHWAB CORPORATION
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
(Tabular Amounts in Millions, Except Ratios, or as Noted)



Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

INTRODUCTION

The Charles Schwab Corporation (CSC) is a savings and loan holding company engaged, through its subsidiaries (collectively referred to as the Company), in wealth management, securities brokerage, banking, asset management, custody, and financial advisory services.

Significant business subsidiaries of CSC include the following:

Charles Schwab & Co., Inc. (Schwab), a securities broker-dealer;
Charles Schwab Bank (Schwab Bank), a federal savings bank; and
Charles Schwab Investment Management, Inc. (CSIM), the investment advisor for Schwab’s proprietary mutual funds, which are referred to as the Schwab Funds ® , and for Schwab’s exchange-traded funds (ETFs), which are referred to as the Schwab ETFs™.

The Company provides financial services to individuals and institutional clients through two segments – Investor Services and Advisor Services. The Investor Services segment provides retail brokerage and banking services, retirement plan services, and other corporate brokerage services. The Advisor Services segment provides custodial, trading, banking, and support services as well as retirement business services.
Schwab was founded on the belief that average Americans deserve access to a better investing experience. Although much has changed in the intervening years, the Company’s purpose remains clear – to champion every client’s goals with passion and integrity. Guided by this purpose and the aspiration of creating the most trusted leader in investment services, management has adopted a strategy described as “Through Clients’ Eyes.”

Under this approach, the Company’s strategic goals are focused on putting clients’ perspectives, needs, and desires at the forefront. Because investing plays a fundamental role in building financial security, the Company strives to deliver a better investing experience for its clients – individual investors and the people and institutions who serve them – by disrupting longstanding industry practices on their behalf and providing superior service. The Company aims to offer a broad range of products and solutions to meet client needs with a focus on transparency and value. In addition, management works to couple the Company’s scale and resources with ongoing expense discipline to keep costs low and ensure that products and solutions are affordable as well as responsive to client needs. Finally, the Company aims to maximize its market valuation and stockholder returns over time.

Management estimates that investable wealth in the United States (U.S.) is currently well in excess of $30 trillion, which means the Company’s $3.18 trillion in client assets leaves substantial opportunity for growth. The Company’s strategy is based on the principle that developing trusted relationships will translate into more assets from both new and existing clients, ultimately driving more revenue and, along with expense discipline, generating earnings growth and building long-term stockholder value.

This Form 10-Q is intended to provide an update on the activity and results of operations for the third quarter and first nine months ended September 30, 2017 and should be read in conjunction with the 2016 Form 10-K. More information on the Company’s business operations, descriptions of revenue and expense categories, policies and procedures including the Company’s governance and monitoring programs is available in the 2016 Form 10-K. The Company’s recent annual reports on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, proxy statements, as well as other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), are available free of charge on the Company’s website, https://www.aboutschwab.com or by request via email (investor.relations@schwab.com), telephone (415-667-7000) or mail (Charles Schwab Investor Relations at 211 Main Street, San Francisco, CA 94105).

Management believes that the Company’s third quarter results demonstrate its financial model working as intended: driving robust business growth by winning with clients, generating strong revenue growth through multiple sources, and delivering outstanding financial results through sustained expense discipline.

Clients opened 336,000 new brokerage accounts during the quarter, bringing total brokerage accounts to 10.6 million at September 30, 2017 . At the same time, core net new assets gathered during the third quarter of 2017 were $51.6 billion compared to $30.0 billion for the same period a year ago. Total core net new assets for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 were $136.7 billion , contributing to total client assets reaching $3.18 trillion at quarter-end.

Strong client growth and an improved economic environment helped lift net interest revenue and asset management and administration fees. These increases supported overall net revenue growth of 13% and 16% , respectively, for the third quarter and first nine months of 2017 when compared to the same periods in the prior year.

By managing overall expense growth to 9% and 10% , respectively, for the third quarter and first nine months of 2017 when compared to the prior year, the Company was able to achieve pre-tax profit margins of 43.6% and 42.3% for the third quarter

and first nine months of 2017 – increases of 210 and 290 basis points, respectively, when compared to the same periods in the prior year. The Company delivered a 15% return on average common stockholders’ equity in both the third quarter and first nine months of 2017 .

Subsequent Event

On October 31, 2017, the Company issued and sold 500,000 depositary shares, each representing a 1/100 th ownership interest in a share of fixed-to-floating rate non-cumulative perpetual preferred stock, Series F, $0.01 par value, with a liquidation preference of $100,000 per share (equivalent to $1,000 per depositary share). The Series F Preferred Stock has a fixed dividend rate of 5.00% through November 30, 2027, payable semi-annually, and thereafter a floating rate of three-month LIBOR plus a fixed spread of 2.575%, payable quarterly. The net proceeds received from the sale were $492 million after deducting related expenses and fees.

Also on October 31, 2017, the Company announced that it will redeem on December 1, 2017, all of the outstanding shares of its 6.00% non-cumulative perpetual preferred stock, Series B, and the corresponding depositary shares. The redemption will be funded with the net proceeds from the Series F offering.

Beginning in the first quarter of 2017, a prospective methodology change was made to average client assets relating to 401(k) recordkeeping fees to provide improved insight into the associated fee driver, which resulted in an increase of approximately $25 billion. There was no impact to revenue or the average fee.

THE CHARLES SCHWAB CORPORATION
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
(Tabular Amounts in Millions, Except Ratios, or as Noted)


Net interest revenue increased $ 237 million , or 28% , and $720 million , or 30% , in the third quarter and first nine months of 2017 compared to the same periods in 2016 due to higher interest rates and growth in interest-earning assets driven by bank deposits. 
Higher short-term interest rates reflecting the Federal Reserve’s March and June 2017 and December 2016 interest rate hikes, coupled with growth in interest-earning assets, have resulted in a 28 and 21 basis point improvement in net interest margins to 2.00% and 1.94% during the third quarter and first nine months of 2017 , respectively, compared to the same periods in 2016 .
Compared to the prior year, the Company has grown bank deposits through a combination of:
Gathering additional assets from new and current clients; 
Transferring uninvested cash balances in certain client brokerage accounts to Schwab Bank; and
Establishing the Schwab Bank sweep feature as the default investment option for uninvested cash balances within all new brokerage accounts as of June 2016.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2017 , net interest revenue represented 49% of total net revenues, growing from 44% in the same period in the prior year.

In March 2017, the Company transferred $24.7 billion of debt securities from the available for sale (AFS) category to the held to maturity (HTM) category. The transfer had no effect on the overall net interest margin. For additional information on the transfer, see Item 1 – Note 3.

During the first quarter of 2017, the Company announced two trading price reductions which lowered standard equity, ETF, and option trade commissions from $8.95 to $4.95 and lowered the per contract option fee from $.75 to $.65. Trading revenue decreased by $ 39 million , or 21% , and $123 million , or 20% , in the third quarter and first nine months of 2017 , respectively, compared to the same periods in 2016 , primarily due to these pricing reductions. These reductions in commission rates reflect both the Company’s belief that pricing should never be an obstacle for choosing Schwab and the Company’s commitment to share the benefits of its scale with clients. With these changes, trading revenue represented 8% of total net revenues through the first nine months of 2017 compared to 11% for the same period in 2016 .

Other Revenue

Other revenue decreased by $5 million , or 7% , in the third quarter of 2017 compared to the third quarter of 2016 largely due to litigation proceeds of $14 million relating to non-agency mortgage backed securities recorded in the third quarter of 2016 which did not reoccur in 2017 .

Other revenue increased $3 million , or 1% , in the first nine months of 2017 compared to the same period in 2016 , primarily due to sublease income from office space in San Francisco, an increase in order flow revenue, and an increase in realized gains on sales of AFS securities, largely offset by the absence of litigation proceeds in 2017.

Order flow revenue was $29 million and $26 million during the third quarters of 2017 and 2016 and $82 million and $78 million during the first nine months of 2017 and 2016 , respectively.

Salaries and wages increased in the third quarter and first nine months of 2017 compared to the same periods in 2016 primarily due to an increase in employee headcount to support the growth in the business and annual salary increases.

Incentive compensation increased in the third quarter and first nine months of 2017 compared to the same periods in 2016 primarily due to higher incentive plan costs related to increased net client asset flows and increased employee headcount.
Employee benefits and other expenses increased in the third quarter and first nine months of 2017 compared to the same periods in 2016 primarily due to higher payroll taxes and employer 401(k) matching contributions, which resulted from increased salaries and wages and incentive compensation.

Professional services expense increased in the third quarter and first nine months of 2017 compared to the same periods in 2016 primarily due to higher spending on technology projects and an increase in asset management and administration related expenses resulting from growth in the Schwab Funds ® and Schwab ETFs™.
Depreciation and amortization expenses grew in the third quarter and first nine months of 2017 compared to the same periods in 2016 primarily due to higher amortization of internally developed software as projects were completed and placed into production.
Other expenses increased in the third quarter and first nine months of 2017 compared to the same periods in 2016 primarily due to an increase in the Company’s Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) assessments. The FDIC assessments rose as a result of higher bank deposits and the effect of the new surcharge that commenced in the third quarter of 2016.

Taxes on Income

Effective January 1, 2017, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2016-09, which prospectively changes the accounting treatment of a portion of the tax deductions relating to equity compensation. These deductions were previously reflected directly in additional paid-in capital, a component of stockholders’ equity, and are now included in tax expense, a

component of net income. As a result of this change, the Company’s tax expense was reduced by approximately $11 million and $47 million in the third quarter and first nine months of 2017 , respectively. Future effects will depend on the Company’s share price, restricted stock vesting, and the volume of equity incentive options exercised.

The Company’s effective income tax rate on income before taxes was 34.6% and 36.6% for the third quarters of 2017 and 2016 , respectively, and 34.9% and 37.0% for the first nine months of 2017 and 2016 , respectively, which reflects the equity compensation benefit in the first nine months of 2017 as discussed above and state-related tax benefits recognized during the third quarter of 2017 .

Net revenues rose by 13% in the third quarter and 15% for the first nine months of 2017 compared to the same periods in 2016 , primarily due to increases in net interest revenue and asset management and administration fees, partially offset by a decrease in trading revenue. Net interest revenue increased primarily due to higher net interest margins and higher balances of interest-earning assets. Asset management and administration fees increased primarily due to higher client assets enrolled in advisory solutions and mutual funds, and higher net fees on money market fund assets. Trading revenue decreased primarily due to the reductions in commissions rates announced earlier in the year.

Expenses excluding interest increased by 8% in the third quarter and 10% for the first nine months of 2017 compared to the same periods in 2016 , primarily due to higher compensation and benefits, technology project spend and asset management and administration related expenses.

Net revenues rose by 15% and 18% , in the third quarter and first nine months of 2017 compared to the same periods in 2016 , primarily due to increases in net interest revenue and asset management and administration fees, partially offset by a decrease in trading revenue. Net interest revenue increased primarily due to higher balances of interest-earning assets and higher net interest margins. This growth in interest-earning assets was aided by the migration of more uninvested client cash balances in the segment to Schwab Bank. Asset management and administration fees increased primarily due to higher net fees on money market fund assets and growth in client assets invested in equity and bond funds and ETFs. Trading revenue decreased primarily due to the reductions in commissions rates announced earlier in the year.

Expenses excluding interest increased by 11% and 12% , in the third quarter and first nine months of 2017 compared to the same periods in 2016 , primarily due to higher compensation and benefits, technology project spend, asset management and administration related expenses and FDIC regulatory assessments.


RISK MANAGEMENT

The Company’s business activities expose it to a variety of risks, including operational, credit, market, liquidity, and compliance risk. The Company has a comprehensive risk management program to identify and manage these risks and their associated potential for financial and reputational impact. For a discussion of the Company’s risk management programs, see Item 7 – Risk Management in the 2016 Form 10-K.

Credit Risk
Credit risk is the potential for loss due to a borrower, counterparty, or issuer failing to perform on its contractual obligations. The Company’s exposure to credit risk mainly results from margin lending and client option and futures activities, securities lending, mortgage lending, pledged asset lending, its role as a counterparty in financial contracts, and other investing activities. Client investing activities often include the use of leverage through margin, options, and futures positions. The Company manages collateral concentrations at the account level and across client portfolios.
The credit risk exposure related to the Company’s bank loans is actively managed based on established underwriting principles and guidelines and is monitored through individual loan and portfolio reviews. Management regularly reviews asset quality, including concentrations, delinquencies, nonaccrual loans, charge-offs, and recoveries. All are factors in the determination of an appropriate allowance for loan losses. For more information on the Company’s credit quality indicators relating to its bank loans, see Item 1 – Note 4.
The Company also has exposure to concentration risk when holding large positions in financial instruments collateralized by assets with similar economic characteristics or in securities of a single issuer or within a particular industry or geographical area. The fair value of the Company’s investments in corporate debt securities and commercial paper totaled $10.3 billion at September 30, 2017 , with 44% issued by institutions in the financial services industry. For more information on the Company’s investment portfolios, see Item 1 – Note 3.
Market Risk
Market risk is the potential for changes in earnings or the value of financial instruments held by the Company as a result of fluctuations in interest rates, equity prices, or market conditions.

The Company is exposed to interest rate risk primarily from changes in market interest rates on its interest-earning assets relative to changes in the costs of its funding sources that finance these assets. The majority of the Company’s interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities are sensitive to changes in short-term interest rates. A portion of the Company’s investment portfolio is sensitive to changes in long-term interest rates.

Net Interest Revenue Simulation

For the Company’s net interest revenue sensitivity analysis, the Company uses net interest revenue simulation modeling techniques to evaluate and manage the effect of changing interest rates. The simulation includes all interest-sensitive assets and liabilities. Key variables in the simulation include the repricing of financial instruments, prepayment, reinvestment, and product pricing assumptions. The Company uses constant balances and prevailing market rates in the simulation assumptions in order to minimize the number of variables and to better isolate risks. The simulations involve assumptions that are inherently uncertain and, as a result, cannot precisely estimate net interest revenue or predict the impact of changes in interest rates on net interest revenue. Actual results may differ from simulated results due to balance growth or decline and the timing, magnitude, and frequency of interest rate changes, as well as changes in market conditions and management strategies, including changes in asset and liability mix.

If the Company’s guidelines for its net interest revenue sensitivity are breached, management must report the breach to the Company’s Corporate Asset-Liability Management and Pricing Committee and establish a plan to address the interest rate risk. There were no breaches of the Company’s net interest revenue sensitivity risk limits during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 , or year ended December 31, 2016 .

As represented by the simulations presented below, the Company’s investment strategy is structured to produce an increase in net interest revenue when interest rates rise and, conversely, a decrease in net interest revenue when interest rates fall.
The simulations in the following table assume that the asset and liability structure of the consolidated balance sheet would not be changed as a result of the simulated changes in interest rates. As the Company actively manages its consolidated balance sheet and interest rate exposure, in all likelihood the Company would take steps to manage additional interest rate exposure that could result from changes in the interest rate environment. The following table displays the simulated net interest revenue change over the next 12 months beginning September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 of a gradual 100 basis point increase or decrease in market interest rates relative to prevailing market rates at the end of each reporting period:

5.2
 %
 
6.5
 %
Decrease of 100 basis points
 
(8.3
)%
 
(9.8
)%
The change in net interest revenue sensitivities as of September 30, 2017 reflects the increase in short-term interest rates. An increase in short-term interest rates positively impacts net interest revenue as yields on interest-earning assets rise faster than the cost of funding sources. A decline in interest rates could negatively impact the yield on the Company’s investment and loan portfolio to a greater degree than an offsetting reduction in interest expense from funding sources, compressing net interest margin.

Liquidity Risk

Liquidity risk is the potential that the Company will be unable to meet cash flow obligations when they come due without incurring unacceptable losses. The Company’s primary source of funds is cash generated by client activity: bank deposits and cash balances in client brokerage accounts. Other sources of funds may include cash flows from operations, maturities and sales of investment securities, repayments on loans, lending securities held in client brokerage accounts, and cash provided by external financing.
 
To meet daily funding needs, the Company maintains liquidity in the form of overnight cash deposits and short-term investments. For unanticipated liquidity needs, the Company maintains a buffer of highly liquid investments, currently comprised of U.S. Treasury notes.

CSC has a universal automatic shelf registration statement on file with the SEC, which enables it to issue debt, equity, and other securities.
On March 2, 2017, CSC issued $650 million aggregate principal amount of Senior Notes that mature in 2027 . The Senior Notes have a fixed interest rate of 3.200% with interest payable semi-annually. CSC used the net proceeds from the sale of the Senior Notes for general corporate purposes.
In September 2017, CSC’s $250 million, 6.375% Medium-Term Notes, Series A (Medium-Term Notes), matured.
CSC’s ratings for commercial paper notes are P1 by Moody’s, A1 by Standard & Poor’s, and F1 by Fitch. CSC’s Senior Notes are rated A2 by Moody’s, A by Standard & Poor’s, and A by Fitch. CSC’s preferred stock is rated Baa2 by Moody’s, BBB by Standard & Poor’s, and BB+ by Fitch. For further discussion of CSC’s debt and equity, see Item 1 – Note 7 and Note 11.
Beginning on January 1, 2016, the Company became subject to the modified liquidity coverage ratio (LCR) rule which was fully phased in on January 1, 2017 and requires CSC to hold High Quality Liquid Assets equal to at least 70% of projected net cash outflows over a 30-day period, as defined by the rule. At September 30, 2017 , the Company was in compliance with the fully phased-in modified LCR rule. For additional information on the LCR rule, see Item 1 – Business – Regulation in the 2016 Form 10‑K.


CAPITAL MANAGEMENT

The Company seeks to manage capital to a level and composition sufficient to support execution of its business strategy, including anticipated balance sheet growth, providing financial support to its subsidiaries, and sustained access to the capital markets, while at the same time meeting its regulatory capital requirements and serving as a source of financial strength to Schwab Bank.

The Company’s primary sources of capital are funds generated by the operations of its subsidiaries and securities issuances by CSC in the capital markets. To ensure that it has a sufficient amount of capital to absorb unanticipated losses or declines in asset values, the Company has adopted a policy to remain well capitalized even in stressed scenarios. For a description of the Company’s internal guidelines, monitoring and governance processes, see Item 7 – Capital Management in the 2016 Form 10‑K.

(1) CSC and Schwab Bank have elected to opt-out of the requirement to include most components of accumulated other comprehensive income (AOCI) in regulatory capital, including Common Equity Tier 1 (CET1) Capital. The year after the Company surpasses $250 billion in consolidated assets, it can no longer exclude AOCI from regulatory capital.

Schwab Bank is also subject to regulatory requirements that restrict and govern the terms of affiliate transactions. In addition, Schwab Bank is required to provide notice to, and may be required to obtain approval from, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency and the Federal Reserve to declare dividends to CSC.
The Company’s broker-dealer subsidiaries (Schwab and optionsXpress, Inc. (optionsXpress)) are subject to regulatory requirements of the Uniform Net Capital Rule. At September 30, 2017 , Schwab and optionsXpress exceeded their net capital requirements.
In addition to the capital requirements above, the Company’s subsidiaries are subject to various regulatory requirements that are intended to ensure financial soundness and liquidity. See Item 1 – Note 14 for additional information on the components of stockholders’ equity and information on the capital requirements of each of the subsidiaries.

OTHER

Foreign Holdings
At September 30, 2017 , the Company had exposure to non-sovereign financial and non-financial institutions in foreign countries of $6.8 billion , with the fair value of the top three exposures being to issuers and counterparties domiciled in Sweden at $1.9 billion , France at $1.8 billion , and Canada at $0.8 billion .
Additionally, at September 30, 2017 , the Company held AFS and HTM securities with a total fair value of $100 million issued by agencies of foreign governments. These securities are explicitly guaranteed by governments of the issuing agencies.
The Company does not have unfunded commitments to counterparties in foreign countries, nor does it have exposure as a result of credit default protection purchased or sold separately as of September 30, 2017
In addition to the direct holdings in foreign companies and securities issued by foreign government agencies, the Company has indirect exposure to foreign countries through its investments in CSIM money market funds (collectively, the Funds) resulting from brokerage clearing activities. At September 30, 2017 , the Company had $67 million in investments in these Funds. Certain of the Funds’ positions include certificates of deposits, time deposits, commercial paper, and corporate debt securities issued by counterparties in foreign countries. Additionally, at September 30, 2017 , the Company had outstanding margin loans to foreign residents of $546 million .

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
The Company enters into various off-balance sheet arrangements in the ordinary course of business, primarily to meet the needs of its clients. These arrangements include firm commitments to extend credit. Additionally, the Company enters into guarantees and other similar arrangements in the ordinary course of business. For information on each of these arrangements, see Item 1 – Note 4, Note 5, Note 7, and Note 8 , and Item 8 – Note 15 in the 2016 Form 10-K.


CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES

Certain of the Company’s accounting policies that involve a higher degree of judgment and complexity are discussed in Part II – Item 7 – Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Critical Accounting Estimates in the  2016  Form 10-K. With the exception of adding Income Taxes, there have been no other changes to critical accounting estimates during the first nine months  of 2017 .

Income Taxes

The Company estimates income tax expense based on amounts expected to be owed to the various tax jurisdictions in which it operates, including federal, state and local domestic jurisdictions, and immaterial amounts owed to several foreign jurisdictions. The estimated income tax expense is reported in the consolidated statements of income. Accrued taxes are reported in other assets or other liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets and represent the net estimated amount due to or to be received from taxing jurisdictions either currently or deferred to future periods. Deferred taxes arise from differences between assets and liabilities measured for financial reporting purposes versus income tax reporting purposes. Deferred tax assets are recognized if, in management’s judgment, their realizability is determined to be more likely than not. Uncertain tax positions that meet the more likely than not recognition threshold are measured to determine the amount of benefit to recognize. An uncertain tax position is measured at the largest amount of benefit management believes is more likely than not to be realized upon settlement. In estimating accrued taxes, the Company assesses the relative merits and risks of the appropriate tax treatment considering statutory, judicial and regulatory guidance in the context of the tax position. Because of the complexity of tax laws and regulations, interpretation can be difficult and subject to legal judgment given specific facts and circumstances.  

Changes in the estimate of accrued taxes occur periodically due to changes in tax rates, interpretations of tax laws, the status of examinations being conducted by various taxing authorities, and newly enacted statutory, judicial and regulatory guidance that impacts the relative merits and risks of tax positions. These changes, when they occur, affect accrued taxes and can be significant to the operating results of the Company.

THE CHARLES SCHWAB CORPORATION
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(Tabular Amounts in Millions, Except Per Share Data, Ratios, or as Noted)
(Unaudited)


1.    Introduction and Basis of Presentation
CSC is a savings and loan holding company engaged, through its subsidiaries, in wealth management, securities brokerage, banking, asset management, custody, and financial advisory services. Schwab is a securities broker-dealer with over 345 domestic branch offices in 46 states, as well as a branch in the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico. In addition, Schwab serves clients in London, England and Hong Kong through one of CSC’s subsidiaries. Other subsidiaries include Schwab Bank, a federal savings bank, and CSIM, the investment advisor for Schwab Funds ® and Schwab ETFs™.
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include CSC and its majority-owned subsidiaries (collectively, referred to as the Company). Intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. These condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the U.S. (GAAP), which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the accompanying financial statements. Certain estimates relate to other-than-temporary impairment (OTTI) of investment securities, valuation of goodwill, allowance for loan losses, legal and regulatory reserves, and income taxes. Actual results may differ from those estimates.
These condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the periods presented. These adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. The Company’s results for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year or any other interim period. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the 2016 Form 10-K.
The Company’s significant accounting policies are included in Note 2 in the 2016 Form 10-K. There have been no significant changes to these accounting policies during the first nine months of 2017 except as described in Note 2 below.
Principles of Consolidation
The Company evaluates for consolidation all entities in which it has financial interests, except for money market funds which are specifically excluded from consolidation guidance. For an entity subject to consolidation, the Company evaluates whether the Company’s interest in the entity constitutes a controlling financial interest under either the variable interest entity (VIE) model or a voting interest entity (VOE) model. Based upon the Company’s assessments, the Company is not deemed to have a controlling financial interest in and, therefore, is not required to consolidate any VIEs. See Note 5 for further information about VIEs. The Company consolidates all VOEs in which it has majority-voting interests.
For investments in entities in which the Company does not have a controlling financial interest, the Company accounts for those investments under the equity method of accounting when the Company has the ability to exercise significant influence over operating and financing decisions of the entity. Investments in entities for which the Company does not have the ability to exercise significant influence are generally carried at cost. Both equity method and cost method investments are included in other assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

2.    New Accounting Standards

Adoption of New Accounting Standards

The Company adopted ASU 2016-09, “Stock Compensation – Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting (Topic 718),” on a prospective basis as of January 1, 2017. This guidance requires entities to recognize the income tax effects for the difference between GAAP and federal income tax treatment (i.e., excess tax benefit or deficiency) of share-based awards in the income statement when the awards vest or are settled, rather than recording such effects in additional paid-in capital. As a result, the Company’s tax expense was reduced by approximately $11 million and $ 47 million in the third quarter and first nine months of 2017 , respectively. Future effects will depend on the Company’s share price, restricted stock vesting, and the volume of equity incentive options exercised. ASU 2016-09 also provides entities with an accounting policy election to account for the impact of forfeitures of awards on compensation expense as they occur or continue with the current practice of estimating forfeitures at the grant date to determine the number of awards expected to vest and adjusting that estimate as necessary. The Company has elected to continue to follow the current practice of estimating forfeitures.

THE CHARLES SCHWAB CORPORATION

(Tabular Amounts in Millions, Except Per Share Data, Ratios, or as Noted)
(Unaudited)

New Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted
ASU 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606),” provides new guidance on revenue recognition. The guidance clarifies that revenue from contracts with customers should be recognized in a manner that depicts the timing of the related transfer of goods or performance of services at an amount that reflects the expected consideration. The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) has subsequently issued several amendments to the standard, including deferral of the effective date until January 1, 2018, clarification of principal versus agent considerations, narrow scope improvements, and other technical corrections. Entities may elect either full or modified retrospective transition. Full retrospective transition will require a cumulative effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the earliest comparative period presented. Modified retrospective transition will require a cumulative effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the reporting period in which the entity first applies the new guidance.

The Company plans to adopt the revenue recognition guidance in the first quarter of 2018 using the modified retrospective method. The guidance does not apply to the Company’s loans and securities. Accordingly, the Company does not expect an impact to net interest revenue. The Company believes the primary areas of potential impact for the Company are (i) the capitalization of costs to obtain a contract and (ii) gross versus net presentation of certain revenue streams in the income statement. The Company believes adoption of this guidance will likely alter the timing of recognition for costs to obtain a contract in the income statement. The next phase of the Company’s implementation work is to evaluate the disclosure provisions. The Company does not expect this guidance will have a material impact on its financial statements and EPS.

ASU 2016-01, “Financial Instruments – Overall (Subtopic 825-10),” will be effective January 1, 2018 and requires a cumulative effect adjustment to the balance sheet as of the beginning of the year of initial application, except for certain changes that require prospective adoption. The main provisions of the guidance require: (i) equity investments to be measured at fair value, with changes in fair value recognized in net income, unless the equity method is applied or the equity investments do not have readily determinable fair values in which case a practical alternative may be elected; (ii) use of an exit price when measuring the fair value of financial instruments for disclosures; and (iii) separate presentation of financial assets and liabilities by measurement category and form of instrument on the balance sheet or in the accompanying notes. The Company does not expect this guidance will have a material impact on its financial statements and EPS.

ASU 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842),” amends the accounting for leases by lessees and lessors. The primary change from the new guidance is the recognition of right-of-use assets and lease liabilities by lessees for those leases classified as operating leases. Additional changes include accounting for lease origination and executory costs, required lessee reassessments during the lease term due to changes in circumstances, and expanded lease disclosures. ASU 2016-02 will become effective January 1, 2019, with early adoption permitted, and requires entities to apply the new guidance using a modified retrospective transition. Modified retrospective transition requires entities to apply the new guidance as of the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements in which the entity first applies the new standard. Certain transition relief is permitted if elected by the entity. The adoption of ASU 2016-02 will result in the Company recognizing a right-of-use asset and lease liability on the consolidated balance sheet based on the present value of remaining operating lease payments (see Note 14 of the Company’s 2016 Form 10-K for the undiscounted future annual minimum rental commitments for operating leases). The Company does not expect this guidance will have a material impact on its EPS.

ASU 2016-13, “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments,” provides new guidance for recognizing impairment of most debt instruments measured at amortized cost, including loans and held to maturity (HTM) debt securities. The new guidance will require estimating current expected credit losses (CECL) over the remaining life of an instrument or a portfolio of instruments with similar risk characteristics based on relevant information about past events, current conditions, and reasonable forecasts. The initial estimate of, and the subsequent changes in, CECL will be recognized as credit loss expense through current earnings and will be reflected as an allowance for credit losses offsetting the carrying value of the financial instrument(s) on the balance sheet. The new guidance also amends the OTTI model for AFS debt securities by requiring the use of an allowance, rather than directly reducing the carrying value of the security, and eliminating consideration of the length of time such security has been in an unrealized loss position as a factor in concluding whether a credit loss exists. ASU 2016-13 will become effective January 1, 2020, with early adoption permitted as of January 1, 2019. The new guidance will be applied through a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the first reporting period in which the entity applies the new guidance except that a prospective transition is required for AFS debt securities for which an OTTI had been recognized before the effective date. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance on its financial statements and EPS.

ASU 2017-08, “Receivables – Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs (Subtopic 310-20): Premium Amortization on Purchased Callable Debt Securities,” shortens the amortization period for the premium on certain callable debt securities to the earliest call date. The amendments are applicable to any purchased individual debt security with an explicit and noncontingent call feature that is callable at a fixed price on a preset date. The amendments do not impact the accounting for callable debt securities held at a discount. ASU 2017-08 will become effective on January 1, 2019, with early adoption permitted including in an interim period. The amendments will be applied on a modified retrospective basis through a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the period of adoption. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this guidance on its financial statements and EPS.

The increase in the HTM portfolio at September 30, 2017 compared to December 31, 2016 was primarily attributable to the transfer of $24.7 billion of investment securities from the AFS category to the HTM category during the first quarter of 2017 . These securities had a total net unrealized loss of $227 million before income tax in AOCI on the date of transfer. The transfer was made to mitigate the potential volatility in regulatory capital from changes in market values in the AFS securities portfolio

and the related impact to AOCI once the Company crosses $250 billion in consolidated assets. The year after the Company surpasses $250 billion in consolidated assets, it can no longer exclude AOCI from regulatory capital. The transfer included U.S. agency mortgage-backed securities, asset-backed securities, corporate debt securities, and U.S. state and municipal securities. The unrealized holding gains and losses on the date of transfer are reported as a separate component of AOCI and as an adjustment to the purchase premium and discount on the securities transferred. The separate component of AOCI will be amortized or accreted into interest income over the remaining life of the securities transferred, offsetting the revised premium or discount amortization or accretion on the transferred assets .

Schwab Bank pledges securities issued by federal agencies to secure certain trust deposits. The fair value of these pledged securities was $936 million at  September 30, 2017 .

(1) The number of investment positions with unrealized losses totaled  212 for AFS securities and 698 for HTM securities.
(2) The number of investment positions with unrealized losses totaled 627 for AFS securities and 612 for HTM securities.

At September 30, 2017 , substantially all securities in the investment portfolios were rated investment grade. U.S. agency mortgage-backed securities do not have explicit credit ratings; however, management considers these to be of the highest credit quality and rating given the guarantee of principal and interest by the U.S. government-sponsored enterprises.

Substantially all of the bank loans were collectively evaluated for impairment at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 . There were no loans accruing interest that were contractually 90 days or more past due at September 30, 2017 or December 31, 2016 . Nonperforming assets, which include nonaccrual loans and other real estate owned, totaled $29 million and $31 million at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 , respectively. Impaired assets, which include nonaccrual loans, other real estate owned and troubled debt restructurings, totaled $38 million and $45 million at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 , respectively. Troubled debt restructurings were not material at September 30, 2017 or December 31, 2016 .
In addition to monitoring delinquency, the Company monitors the credit quality of First Mortgages and HELOCs by stratifying the portfolios by the following:
Year of origination;
Borrower FICO scores at origination (Origination FICO);
Updated borrower FICO scores (Updated FICO);
Loan-to-value ratios at origination (Origination LTV); and
Estimated current LTV ratios (Estimated Current LTV).
Borrowers’ FICO scores are provided by an independent third-party credit reporting service and were last updated in September 2017. The Origination LTV and Estimated Current LTV for a HELOC include any first lien mortgage outstanding on the same property at the time of the HELOC’s origination. The Estimated Current LTV for each loan is estimated by reference to a home price appreciation index.
As of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 , 47% and 48% of the Company’s HELOC and First Mortgage portfolio was concentrated in California. These loans have performed in a manner consistent with the portfolio as a whole.

The Company’s bank loans include $8.8 billion of adjustable rate First Mortgage loans at September 30, 2017 . The Company’s adjustable rate mortgages have initial fixed interest rates for three to ten years and interest rates that adjust annually thereafter. Approximately 34% of these mortgages consisted of loans with interest-only payment terms. The interest rates on

(Unaudited)

approximately 56% of these interest-only loans are not scheduled to reset for three or more years. The Company’s mortgage loans do not include interest terms described as temporary introductory rates below current market rates.
The Company’s HELOC product has a 30 -year loan term with an initial draw period of ten  years from the date of origination. After the initial draw period, the balance outstanding at such time is converted to a 20 -year amortizing loan. The interest rate during the initial draw period and the 20 -year amortizing period is a floating rate based on the prime rate plus a margin. HELOCs that convert to an amortizing loan may experience higher delinquencies and higher loss rates than those in the initial draw period. The Company’s allowance for loan loss methodology takes this increased inherent risk into consideration. 
The following table presents when current outstanding HELOCs will convert to amortizing loans:

At September 30, 2017 , $1.6 billion of the HELOC portfolio was secured by second liens on the associated properties. Second lien mortgage loans typically possess a higher degree of credit risk given the subordination to the first lien holder in the event of default. In addition to the credit monitoring activities described previously, the Company also monitors credit risk by reviewing the delinquency status of the first lien loan on the associated property. At  September 30, 2017 , approximately 39% of the HELOC borrowers that had a balance only paid the minimum amount of interest due.

5.    Variable Interest Entities
A VIE requires consolidation by the entity’s primary beneficiary. The Company evaluates all entities in which it has a financial interest to determine if the entity is a VIE and if so, whether the Company is the primary beneficiary. See Principles of Consolidation in Note 1 for discussion of the Company’s evaluations of VIEs and whether it is deemed to be the primary beneficiary of any VIEs in which it holds an interest. The Company was not the primary beneficiary of, and therefore not required to consolidate any VIEs at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 .
As of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 , the majority of the Company’s VIEs related to Schwab Bank’s Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) investments. Schwab Bank’s LIHTC investments are accounted for using the proportional amortization method. Amortization, tax credits, and other tax benefits recognized in relation to LIHTC investments are included in taxes on income in the condensed consolidated statements of income. For further information on the Community Reinvestment Act (CRA) and Schwab Bank’s LIHTC investments, see Note 2 and Note 10 in the 2016 Form 10-K.

Aggregate assets, liabilities, and maximum exposure to loss
The aggregate assets, liabilities, and maximum exposure to loss from those VIEs in which the Company holds a variable interest, but as to which the Company has concluded it is not the primary beneficiary, are summarized in the table below:

(2) Other CRA investments are recorded using either the cost method or the equity method. Aggregate assets are included in either other assets or bank loans – net on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

The Company’s maximum exposure to loss would result from the loss of the investments, including any committed amounts. During the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 , the Company did not provide or intend to provide financial or other support to the VIEs that it was not contractually required to provide. Schwab Bank’s funding of these remaining commitments is dependent upon the occurrence of certain conditions and Schwab Bank expects to pay substantially all of these commitments between 2017 and 2020 .

Short-term borrowings: Schwab Bank maintains a secured credit facility with the Federal Home Loan Bank of San Francisco (FHLB). Amounts available under this facility are dependent on the value of Schwab Bank’s First Mortgages, HELOCs, and investment securities that are pledged as collateral. As of September 30, 2017 , the collateral pledged by Schwab Bank provided a total borrowing capacity of $19.9 billion including the $5.0 billion outstanding. The Company could increase its borrowing capacity by pledging additional securities. At December 31, 2016 , there were no amounts outstanding under this facility.
As a condition of the FHLB borrowings, Schwab Bank is required to hold FHLB stock, with the investment recorded in other assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The investment in FHLB was $135 million at September 30, 2017 and $81 million at December 31, 2016 .
CSC has authorization from its Board of Directors to issue Commercial Paper Notes not to exceed $1.5 billion . Management has set a current limit for the commercial paper program not to exceed the amount of the committed, unsecured credit facility, which was $750 million at September 30, 2017 . CSC had no Commercial Paper Notes outstanding at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 .

CSC and Schwab also have access to uncommitted, unsecured bank credit lines with several banks. Schwab had no borrowings outstanding under these lines at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 .

8.    Commitments and Contingencies

Guarantees and indemnifications: The Company has clients that sell (i.e., write) listed option contracts that are cleared by the Options Clearing Corporation – a clearing house that establishes margin requirements on these transactions. The Company partially satisfies the margin requirements by arranging unsecured standby letter of credit agreements (LOCs), in favor of the Options Clearing Corporation, which are issued by several banks. At September 30, 2017 , the aggregate face amount of these LOCs totaled $295 million . There were no funds drawn under any of these LOCs at September 30, 2017 . In connection with its securities lending activities, the Company is required to provide collateral to certain brokerage clients. The Company satisfies the collateral requirements by providing cash as collateral.
The Company also provides guarantees to securities clearing houses and exchanges under standard membership agreements, which require members to guarantee the performance of other members. Under the agreements, if another member becomes unable to satisfy its obligations to the clearing houses and exchanges, other members would be required to meet shortfalls. The Company’s liability under these arrangements is not quantifiable and may exceed the cash and securities it has posted as collateral. The potential requirement for the Company to make payments under these arrangements is remote. Accordingly, no liability has been recognized for these guarantees.

Legal contingencies: The Company is subject to claims and lawsuits in the ordinary course of business, including arbitrations, class actions and other litigation, some of which include claims for substantial or unspecified damages. The Company is also the subject of inquiries, investigations, and proceedings by regulatory and other governmental agencies.

The Company believes it has strong defenses in all significant matters currently pending and is contesting liability and any damages claimed. Nevertheless, some of these matters may result in adverse judgments or awards, including penalties, injunctions or other relief, and the Company may also determine to settle a matter because of the uncertainty and risks of litigation. Described below are certain matters in which there is a reasonable possibility that a material loss could be incurred or where the matter may otherwise be of significant interest to stockholders. Unless otherwise noted, the Company is unable to provide a reasonable estimate of any potential liability given the stage of proceedings in the matter.

With respect to all other pending matters, based on current information and consultation with counsel, it does not appear reasonably possible that the outcome of any such matter would be material to the financial condition, operating results or cash flows of the Company. Predicting the outcome of a litigation or regulatory matter is inherently difficult, requiring significant judgment and evaluation of various factors, including the procedural status of the matter and any recent developments; prior experience and the experience of others in similar cases; available defenses, including potential opportunities to dispose of a case on the merits or procedural grounds before trial (e.g., motions to dismiss or for summary judgment); the progress of fact discovery; the opinions of counsel and experts regarding potential damages; potential opportunities for settlement and the status of any settlement discussions; and potential insurance coverage and indemnification. It may not be possible to reasonably estimate potential liability, if any, or a range of potential liability until the matter is closer to resolution – pending, for example, further proceedings, the outcome of key motions or appeals, or discussions among the parties. Numerous issues may have to be developed, such as discovery of important factual matters and determination of threshold legal issues, which may include novel or unsettled questions of law. Reserves are established or adjusted or further disclosure and estimates of potential loss are provided as the matter progresses and more information becomes available.

Total Bond Market Fund Litigation : On August 28, 2008, a class action lawsuit was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California on behalf of investors in the Schwab Total Bond Market Fund . The lawsuit, which alleged violations of state law and federal securities law in connection with the fund’s investment policy, named CSIM, Schwab Investments (registrant and issuer of the fund’s shares) and certain current and former fund trustees as defendants. Allegations include that the fund improperly deviated from its stated investment objectives by investing in collateralized mortgage obligations (CMOs) and investing more than 25% of fund assets in CMOs and mortgage-backed securities without obtaining a fundholder vote. Plaintiff seeks unspecified compensatory and rescission damages, unspecified equitable and injunctive relief, costs and attorneys’ fees. Plaintiff’s federal securities law claim and certain of plaintiff’s state law claims were dismissed. On August 8, 2011, the court dismissed plaintiff’s remaining claims with prejudice. Plaintiff appealed to the Ninth Circuit, which issued a ruling on March 9, 2015 reversing the district court’s dismissal of the case and remanding the case for further proceedings. Plaintiff filed a fourth amended complaint on June 25, 2015, and in decisions issued October 6, 2015 and February 23, 2016, the court dismissed all claims with prejudice. Plaintiff has appealed to the Ninth Circuit, where the case is again pending.

9.     Offsetting Assets and Liabilities

Resale and repurchase agreements: Schwab enters into collateralized resale agreements principally with other broker-dealers, which could result in losses in the event the counterparty fails to purchase the securities held as collateral for the cash advanced and the fair value of the securities declines. To mitigate this risk, Schwab requires that the counterparty deliver securities to a custodian, to be held as collateral, with a fair value at or in excess of the resale price. Schwab also sets standards for the credit quality of the counterparty, monitors the fair value of the underlying securities as compared to the related receivable, including accrued interest, and requires additional collateral where deemed appropriate. Schwab utilizes the collateral provided under these resale agreements to meet obligations under broker-dealer client protection rules, which place limitations on its ability to access such segregated securities. For Schwab to repledge or sell this collateral, it would be required to deposit cash and/or securities of an equal amount into its segregated reserve bank accounts in order to meet its segregated cash and investment requirement. The Company’s resale agreements are not subject to master netting arrangements.

Securities lending: The Company loans brokerage client securities temporarily to other brokers and clearing houses in connection with its securities lending activities and receives cash as collateral for the securities loaned. Increases in security

(Unaudited)

prices may cause the fair value of the securities loaned to exceed the amount of cash received as collateral. In the event the counterparty to these transactions does not return the loaned securities or provide additional cash collateral, the Company may be exposed to the risk of acquiring the securities at prevailing market prices in order to satisfy its client obligations. The Company mitigates this risk by requiring credit approvals for counterparties, monitoring the fair value of securities loaned, and requiring additional cash as collateral when necessary. The Company borrows securities from other broker-dealers to fulfill short sales by brokerage clients and delivers cash to the lender in exchange for the securities. The fair value of these borrowed securities was $336 million at September 30, 2017 and $213 million at December 31, 2016 . All of the Company’s securities lending transactions are subject to enforceable master netting arrangements with other broker-dealers; however, the Company does not net securities lending transactions. Therefore, the Company’s securities loaned and securities borrowed are presented gross in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.
The following table presents information about the Company’s resale agreements and securities lending activity to enable the users of the Company’s financial statements to evaluate the potential effect of rights of setoff between these recognized assets and recognized liabilities at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 .

10.    Fair Values of Assets and Liabilities
Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis
The Company’s assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis include certain cash equivalents, certain investments segregated and on deposit for regulatory purposes, other securities owned, and AFS securities. The Company uses the market approach to determine the fair value of assets and liabilities. When available, the Company uses quoted prices in active markets to measure the fair value of assets and liabilities. When utilizing market data and bid-ask spread, the Company uses the price within the bid-ask spread that best represents fair value. When quoted prices do not exist, the Company uses prices obtained from independent third-party pricing services to measure the fair value of investment assets. The Company generally obtains prices from at least three independent pricing sources for assets recorded at fair value.
The Company’s primary independent pricing service provides prices based on observable trades and discounted cash flows that incorporate observable information such as yields for similar types of securities (a benchmark interest rate plus observable spreads) and weighted-average maturity for the same or similar “to-be-issued” securities. The Company compares the prices obtained from its primary independent pricing service to the prices obtained from the additional independent pricing services to determine if the price obtained from the primary independent pricing service is reasonable. The Company does not adjust the prices received from independent third-party pricing services unless such prices are inconsistent with the definition of fair value and result in a material difference in the recorded amounts.
Fair value of other financial instruments
Descriptions of the valuation methodologies and assumptions used to estimate the fair value of other financial instruments are described below. The Company’s financial instruments not recorded at fair value but for which fair value can be approximated and disclosed include:
Cash and cash equivalents are short-term in nature and accordingly are recorded at amounts that approximate fair value.
Cash and investments segregated and on deposit for regulatory purposes include cash and securities purchased under resale agreements. Securities purchased under resale agreements are short-term in nature and are backed by collateral that both exceeds the carrying value of the resale agreement and is highly liquid in nature. Accordingly, the carrying values of these financial instruments approximate their fair values.

Receivables from/payables to brokerage clients net are short-term in nature, recorded at contractual amounts and historically have been settled at those values. Accordingly, the carrying values of these financial instruments approximate their fair values.
HTM securities – The fair values of HTM securities are obtained using an independent third-party pricing service similar to investment assets recorded at fair value as discussed above.
Bank loans – The fair values of the Company’s First Mortgages and HELOCs are estimated based on prices of mortgage-backed securities collateralized by similar types of loans. PALs are non-purpose revolving lines of credit secured by eligible assets; accordingly, the carrying values of these loans approximate their fair values.
Financial instruments included in other assets primarily consist of LIHTC investments, cost method investments, and FHLB stock, whose carrying values approximate their fair values. FHLB stock is recorded at par, which approximates its fair value.
Bank deposits have no stated maturity and are recorded at the amount payable on demand as of the balance sheet date. The carrying values of these deposits approximate their fair values.
Financial instruments included in accrued expenses and other liabilities consist of drafts payable and certain amounts due under contractual obligations, including unfunded LIHTC commitments. The carrying values of these instruments approximate their fair values.
Short-term borrowings consist of commercial paper, borrowings on Schwab’s uncommitted, unsecured bank credit lines, and funds drawn on Schwab Bank’s secured credit facility with the Federal Home Loan Bank of San Francisco. Due to the short-term nature of these borrowings, carrying value approximates fair value.
Long-term debt – Except for the finance lease obligation, the fair values of long-term debt are estimated using indicative, non-binding quotes from independent brokers. The Company validates indicative prices for its debt through comparison to other independent non-binding quotes. The finance lease obligation is recorded at carrying value, which approximates fair value.
Firm commitments to extend credit – The Company extends credit to banking clients through HELOCs and PALs. The Company considers the fair value of these unused commitments to not be material because the interest rates earned on these balances are based on floating interest rates that reset monthly.
For a description of the fair value hierarchy, see Note 2 in the 2016 Form 10-K. There were no significant changes in these policies and methodologies during the first nine months of 2017 . The Company did not transfer any assets or liabilities between Level 1, Level 2, or Level 3 during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 , or the year ended December 31, 2016 . In addition, the Company did not adjust prices received from the primary independent third-party pricing service at September 30, 2017 or December 31, 2016 .

You have been granted Restricted Stock Units.

<award_date>
Performance Period(s):

Number of Target Restricted Stock Units on Vesting Date:
<vesting_schedule>
    
The Target Restricted Stock Units shall vest only if Schwab’s Compensation Committee certifies that as of the Vesting Date above, Schwab has satisfied the Performance Goal for the applicable performance period ending prior to such Vesting Date.

The number of Shares payable pursuant to the Target Restricted Stock Units granted herein will be determined based on a formula established by the Compensation Committee not later than the 90th day of the applicable Performance Period (or, in the event that a Performance Period is expected to be less than 12 months, not later than the date when 25% of the Performance Period has elapsed).

Except as otherwise provided in the Restricted Stock Unit Agreement, if the Performance Goal is not met, any unvested portion of the grant will be forfeited automatically and permanently on the date established by the Compensation Committee.

THE CHARLES SCHWAB CORPORATION
[2013 STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN]
RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AGREEMENT
(PERFORMANCE-BASED VESTING)
 
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 as described in the Notice of Restricted Stock Unit Grant based on the achievement of the Performance Goal established by the Compensation Committee (the “Compensation Committee”) of the Board of Directors of Schwab (the “ Board ”), of which this Restricted Stock Unit Agreement is a part.
Unvested units will be considered “ Restricted Stock Units .” If your service terminates for any reason, then your Restricted Stock Units will automatically and permanently be forfeited to the extent that they have not vested before the termination date and will not vest as a result of the termination, unless otherwise noted below. 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 company 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 grant, to the extent not already forfeited, will become fully vested and payable at target upon your death or disability. If, prior to the date your service terminates, Schwab is subject to a “ change in control ”, as defined in [The Charles Schwab Corporation 2013 Stock Incentive Plan] (the “ Plan ”), this grant, to the extent not already forfeited, will become fully vested and payable at target as of the date that the change in control occurs.
Continued Vesting

If your service terminates on account of your retirement as defined below, you will be treated as in service in good standing for purposes of determining further vesting of the

1


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

The Target Restricted Stock Units in the Notice of Restricted Stock Unit Grant will be used to determine the shares of common stock of The Charles Schwab Corporation (“ Shares ”) payable based on the Performance Goal and formula established by the Compensation Committee not later than the 90th day of the applicable Performance Period (or, in the event that a Performance Period is expected to be less than 12 months, not later than the date when 25% of the Performance Period has elapsed). The Shares payable are calculated following the end of the Performance Period based on the Performance Goal achieved and any adjustments provided for under the Plan and this Agreement.    The Shares shall be paid as soon as administratively possible following vesting, but in
 
 

2


 
no event beyond March 15 th  of the year following the year of vesting.
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 must follow the terms of this Agreement.
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 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. The Compensation Committee, in its sole discretion, will determine the form and time of the distribution of Shares. In no event will the payment be made beyond March 15 th  of the year following the year of death.
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.
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
 
 

3


 
 upon any review.
Withholding Taxes

The Restricted Stock Units will not be paid in Shares 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 grant. 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.
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 on 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.
No Stockholder Rights
Your Restricted Stock Units carry no voting or other stockholder rights. You have no rights as a Schwab stockholder until your 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, each Restricted Stock Unit will accrue a dividend equivalent equal to the cash dividend paid per Share, subject to the same vesting and forfeiture provisions as the associated Restricted Stock Units, to be paid in cash without interest at the time the associated Restricted Stock Units vest and Shares are released. In no event will the accumulated dividend equivalent be paid beyond March 15 th  of the year following the year in which the associated Restricted Stock Units vest.
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
If a payment from the Plan would constitute an excess

4


Payments

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, 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 (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 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. 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, and your election is consistent with any mandatory eliminations or reductions that apply under other agreements or the Plan). 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 determinations 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 that should not have been made (an “ Overpayment ”) 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.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event will a payment be made under this Section beyond March 15 th  of the year following the year in which the amount ceases to be subject to


6


 
a substantial risk of forfeiture.
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 shall 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, the Notice of Restricted Stock Unit 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.

THE CHARLES SCHWAB CORPORATION
[2013 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 Nonqualified Stock Option Agreement (“ Agreement ”), this option becomes vested in installments as described in the Notice of Nonqualified Stock Option Grant.
Accelerated Vesting
This option will become fully exercisable if your service with The Charles Schwab Corporation (“ Schwab ”) and its subsidiaries terminates on account of your death or disability.

If, prior to the date your service terminates, Schwab is subject to a “ change in control ” (as defined in [The Charles Schwab Corporation 2013 Stock Incentive Plan] (the “ Plan ”)), this option will become fully exercisable immediately preceding the change in control. If the Compensation Committee (or its delegate) (the “ Compensation Committee ”) of the Board of Directors of Schwab (the “ Board ”) 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.
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 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
For all purposes of this Agreement, “ retirement ” will mean any termination of employment with Schwab and its subsidiaries 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.

1



 
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 proof satisfactory to Schwab of your representative’s right to exercise this option. After completing the prescribed procedures, Schwab will cause to be issued the shares of common stock of Schwab (“ Shares ”) purchased, which will be registered in the name of the person exercising this option.
Forms of Payment
When you submit your notice of exercise, you must pay the option exercise price for the Shares you are purchasing. Payment may be made in one of the following forms:
•     Cash in your Schwab brokerage account in an amount sufficient to cover the option exercise price of the Shares and the required tax withholding. (This exercise method is sometimes referred to as “Exercise and Hold”).
•     Shares surrendered to Schwab. These Shares will be valued at their fair market value on the date when the new Shares are purchased. (This exercise method is sometimes referred to as a “Stock Swap.”)
•     By delivery (in a manner prescribed by Schwab) of an irrevocable direction to Charles Schwab & Co., Inc. to sell Shares (including Shares to be issued upon exercise of this option) and to deliver all or part of the sale proceeds to Schwab in payment of all or part of the exercise price. (This exercise method is sometimes referred to as “Exercise and Sell” or “Sell to Cover.”)
Term
This option expires no later than the Expiration Date specified in the Notice of Nonqualified Stock Option Grant but may expire earlier upon your termination of service, as described below.
Termination of Service
This option will expire on the date three months following the date of your termination of employment with Schwab and its subsidiaries for any reason other than on account of death, disability or retirement. The terms “disability” and “retirement” are defined above.
If you cease to be an employee of Schwab and its subsidiaries by reason of your disability or death, then this option will expire on the first anniversary of the date of your death or disability.
If you cease to be an employee of Schwab and its subsidiaries by reason of your retirement and have been credited with at least 10 years of service, then this option will expire on the earlier of the fifth

2



 
anniversary of the date of your termination or the Expiration Date specified in the Notice of Nonqualified Stock Option Grant. If you cease to be an employee of Schwab and its subsidiaries by reason of your retirement and have been credited with at least 15 years of service, then this option will expire on the Expiration Date specified in the Notice of Nonqualified Stock Option Grant.
Effect of Entitlement to Severance
If you are entitled to severance benefits under The Charles Schwab Severance Pay Plan (or any successor plan) and have signed your Severance Agreement, 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 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.
Withholding Taxes and Stock Withholding
You will not be allowed to exercise this option unless you make arrangements acceptable to Schwab to pay any applicable withholding of income and employment taxes that may be due as a result of the option exercise. These arrangements may include without limitation withholding Shares that otherwise would be issued to you when you exercise this option.
Restrictions on Exercise and Issuance or Transfer of Shares
You cannot exercise this option and no Shares 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.
No 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
In general, only you may exercise this option prior to your death. You
 
 

3



Option
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 dispose of this option in your will or in a beneficiary designation. 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 options will be exercisable by your estate.
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 follow the procedures prescribed by Schwab, and the transferee(s) must follow the terms of 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 grant may be reduced or cancelled 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 the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (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, 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 Auditors (as defined below) in accordance with section 280G(d)(5) of the Code.
In the event that the independent auditors most recently selected by the Board (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

4



 
Reduced Amount (as defined below); provided, however, that the Compensation Committee 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 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, and your election is consistent with any mandatory eliminations or reductions that apply under other agreements or the Plan). 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 determinations 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 that should not have been made (an “ Overpayment ”) 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, such Overpayment will be treated for all purposes as a loan to you that you will repay to Schwab on

5



 
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.
Plan Administration
The Plan administrator has discretionary authority to make all determinations related to this option and to construe the terms of the Plan, the Notice of Nonqualified Stock Option 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 Shares, the Compensation Committee, in its discretion, may adjust the number of Shares covered by this option and the exercise price per Share.
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 Nonqualified Stock Option Grant, and the Plan constitute the entire understanding between you and Schwab regarding this option. Any prior agreements, commitments or negotiations concerning this option are superseded. This Agreement may be amended only by another written agreement approved by the Compensation Committee and signed by both parties. If there is any inconsistency or conflict between any provision of this Agreement and the Plan, the terms of the Plan will control. Nothing in this Agreement gives you the ability to negotiate or change the key terms and conditions described above, in the Notice of Nonqualified Stock Option Grant and in the Plan.

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 Nonqualified Stock Option Agreement (the “ Agreement ”) for awards granted outside the United States (“ U.S. ”). These terms and conditions govern this option 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 and Stock Withholding: The following provisions supplement the Withholding Taxes and Stock Withholding section of the 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 this option, including, but not limited to, the grant, vesting or exercise of this option, the subsequent sale of Shares acquired pursuant to such exercise and the receipt of any dividends; and (2) do not commit to and are under no obligation to structure the terms of the grant or any aspect of this option 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 exercise of this option 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 exercise of this option; or (f) any other method of withholding determined by Schwab and permitted by applicable law.


7



Depending on the withholding method, Schwab may withhold or account for withholding taxes by considering applicable minimum statutory withholding amounts or other applicable withholding 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 exercised option, notwithstanding that a number of the Shares are held back solely for the purpose of paying the withholding taxes.

Nature of Grant: In accepting this option, 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 this option is exceptional, voluntary and occasional and does not create any contractual or other right to receive future grants of options, or benefits in lieu of options, even if options have been granted in the past;

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

(4)
you are voluntarily participating in the Plan;

(5)
this option, any Shares acquired under this option, and the income and value of same, are not intended to replace any pension rights or compensation;

(6)
this option and any Shares acquired under this option, 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, this option and the Shares acquired under this option, 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)
if the underlying Shares do not increase in value, this option will have no value;

(10)
if you exercise this option and acquire Shares, the value of such Shares may increase or decrease in value, even below the exercise price;


8




(11)
for purposes of this option, your employment or service relationship 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, (i) your right to vest in this option under the Plan, if any, will terminate as of such date and will not be extended by any 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); and (ii) the period (if any) during which you may exercise this option after such termination of your employment or service relationship will commence on the date you cease to actively provide services and will not be extended by any notice period mandated under employment laws in the jurisdiction where you are employed or 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 this option grant (including whether you may still be considered to be providing services while on a leave of absence);

(12)
unless otherwise provided in the Plan or by Schwab in its discretion, this option and the benefits evidenced by this Agreement do not create any entitlement to have this option 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

(13)
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 this option or of any amounts due to you pursuant to the exercise of this option or the subsequent sale of any Shares acquired upon exercise.

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 exercise of this option 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


9



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. , this option) or rights linked to the value of Shares during such times you are considered to have “inside information” regarding Schwab (as defined in the laws or regulations in applicable jurisdictions). 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 option 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 options 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


10



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 consent is that Schwab would not be able to grant you options 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.

Terms and Conditions

Withholding Taxes and Stock Withholding: This section supplements the “Withholding Taxes and Stock Withholding” section of the Agreement:

Without limitation to the “Withholding Taxes and Stock Withholding” 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).

In the event that you are an executive officer or director and income tax due is not collected from or paid by you within 90 days after the end of the United Kingdom tax year in which the event giving rise to the income tax occurs, the amount of any income tax due may constitute a benefit to you on which additional income tax and national insurance contributions may be payable. You will be responsible for reporting and paying any income tax due on this additional benefit directly to HMRC under the self-assessment regime and for paying Schwab or your Employer (as appropriate) for the value of any employee national insurance contributions due on this additional benefit, which Schwab or your Employer may recover from you by any means referred to in this Agreement.

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

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 you attain age 55, but only if, at the time of your separation, 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).

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 ”).

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 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 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.

Cancellation of Restricted Stock Units
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable laws, these Restricted Stock Units will immediately be cancelled and will
 
 

3


 
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.

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 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

 
 

4


 
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, 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

5


 
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 ”) 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

6


 
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 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
 
 

7


 
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;

(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.

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 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 Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (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, 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 Auditors (as defined below) in accordance with section 280G(d)(5) of the Code.
 
In the event that the independent auditors most recently selected by the Board (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 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.

4



 
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. 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, and your election is consistent with any mandatory eliminations or reductions that apply under other agreements or the Plan). 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 determinations 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 that should not have been made (an Overpayment ”)  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, such Overpayment will be treated for all purposes as a loan to you that 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 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.
Plan Administration
The Plan administrator has discretionary authority to make all determinations related to this grant and to construe the terms of the Plan and this Agreement. The Plan administrator’s determinations are conclusive and binding on all persons, and they are entitled to deference upon any review.
 
 

5



Adjustments
In the event of a stock split, a stock dividend or a similar change in Shares, the Compensation Committee shall adjust the number of Shares covered by this option and the exercise price per Share.
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 and the Plan constitute the entire understanding between you and Schwab regarding this option. Any prior agreements, commitments or negotiations concerning this option are superseded. This Agreement may be amended only by another written agreement, signed by both parties. If there is any inconsistency or conflict between any provision of this Agreement and the Plan, the terms of the Plan will control.

BY ACCEPTING THIS OPTION GRANT,
YOU AGREE TO ALL OF THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS
DESCRIBED ABOVE AND IN THE PLAN.

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). Schwab will notify you promptly of the Auditor's determination. Present value will be determined in accordance with section 280G(d)(4) of the


4




 
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 ”) 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.

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.

THE CHARLES SCHWAB CORPORATION
2013 STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN
NON-EMPLOYEE DIRECTOR
DEFERRED COMPENSATION STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT

Tax Treatment
This option is a non-qualified stock option and is not intended to qualify as an incentive stock option under federal tax laws.
Vesting
This option has been issued under The Charles Schwab Corporation 2013 Stock Incentive Plan (the Plan ) pursuant to your deferral election under The Charles Schwab Corporation Directors’ Deferred Compensation Plan II (the "Deferred Compensation Plan") and is fully vested and non-forfeitable at all times.
Exercise Procedures
You or your representative may exercise this option by following the procedures prescribed by The Charles Schwab Corporation (“ Schwab ). If this option is being exercised by your representative, your representative must furnish proof satisfactory to Schwab of your representative's right to exercise this option. After completing the prescribed procedures, Schwab will cause to be issued the shares of common stock of Schwab (“Shares”) purchased, which will be registered in the name of the person exercising this option.
Forms of Payment
When you submit your notice of exercise, you must pay the option exercise price for the Shares you are purchasing. Payment may be made in one of the following forms:
 
     Cash in your Schwab brokerage account in an amount sufficient to cover the option exercise price of the Shares and the required tax withholding (this exercise method is sometimes referred to as “Exercise and Hold”).

     Shares are surrendered to Schwab. These shares will be valued at their fair market value on the date when the new Shares are purchased. (This exercise method is sometimes referred to as a “Stock Swap.”)

     By delivery (in a manner prescribed by Schwab) of an irrevocable direction to Charles Schwab & Co., Inc. to sell Shares (including Shares to be issued upon exercise of this option) and to deliver all or part of the sale proceeds to Schwab in payment of all or part of the exercise price. (This exercise method is sometimes referred to as “Exercise and Sell” or “Sell to Cover.”)
Term
This option expires no later than the 10th anniversary of the Grant Date but may expire earlier upon your termination of service, as described below.

1



Termination of Service as a Non‑Employee Director
This option will expire on the date three months following the date of your termination of service as a non-employee director if such service terminates for any reason other than on account of becoming a common‑law employee of Schwab or its subsidiaries, death, disability or retirement. The terms “disability” and “retirement” are defined below.
If you become an employee of Schwab or its subsidiaries, this option will expire on the date three months following the date you cease to be an employee of Schwab and its subsidiaries (other than by reason of disability, death or retirement). If you cease to be a non-employee director or an employee of Schwab and its subsidiaries by reason of your disability or death, then this option will expire on the first anniversary of the date of your death or disability.
If you cease to be a non‑employee director by reason of your retirement, then this option will expire on the 10th anniversary of the Grant Date.
Definition of Disability
For all purposes of this Agreement, " disability "  means that 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
For all purposes of this Agreement, " retirement "  means your resignation or removal from the Board of Directors of Schwab (“ Board ”) or the board of a subsidiary of Schwab at any time after you have attained age 70 or completed 5 continuous years of service as a non‑employee director on the Board and/or the board of a subsidiary of Schwab. Serving simultaneously for a year on the Board and the board of a subsidiary of Schwab is counted as one year total for purposes of determining years of service. If you serve on the Board and the board of a subsidiary of Schwab, you must leave both boards to qualify for retirement.
Restrictions on Exercise and Issuance or Transfer of Shares
You cannot exercise this option and no Shares 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.
 
 

2



No 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 the Company 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 Remain Director or Employee
Nothing in this Agreement will be construed as giving you the right to be retained as a director or an employee of Schwab and its subsidiaries.
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 dispose of this option in your will or in a beneficiary designation. 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 options will be exercisable by your estate.

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 follow the procedures prescribed by Schwab, and the transferee(s) must follow the terms of this Agreement.

Plan Administration
The Plan administrator has discretionary authority to make all determinations related to this grant and to construe the terms of the Plan 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 Compensation Committee of the Board shall adjust the number of Shares covered by this option and the exercise price per Share.

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.

DESCRIBED ABOVE AND IN THE PLANS.

Your units will be settled in accordance with the terms of the Deferred Compensation Plan. At the time of settlement, you will receive one Share for each unit.

(1) The ratios of earnings to fixed charges and earnings to fixed charges and preferred stock dividends and other are calculated in accordance with SEC requirements. For such purposes, “earnings” consist of earnings before taxes on earnings and fixed charges. “Fixed charges” consist of interest expense as listed above, and one-third of property, equipment and software rental expense, which is estimated to be representative of the interest factor.

(2) Because interest expense incurred in connection with both bank deposits and payables to brokerage clients is completely offset by interest revenue on related investments and loans, the Company considers such interest to be an operating expense. Accordingly, the ratio of earnings to fixed charges, excluding bank deposits and payables to brokerage clients interest expense, and the ratio of earnings to fixed charges and preferred stock dividends and other, excluding bank deposits and payables to brokerage clients interest expense, reflect the elimination of such interest expense as a fixed charge.

(3) The preferred stock dividend and other amounts represent the pre-tax earnings that would be required to pay the dividends on outstanding preferred stock and undistributed earnings and dividends allocated to non-vested restricted stock units.
