(REVERSE OF NOTE)

THE CHARLES SCHWAB CORPORATION

3.750% Senior Notes due 2024

1.    Interest.

The Charles Schwab Corporation (the “Issuer”) promises to pay interest on the principal amount of this Note at the rate per annum described above. Cash interest on the Notes will accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid; or, if no interest has been paid, from and including October 1, 2021. Interest on this Note will be paid to but excluding the relevant Interest Payment Date or on such earlier date as the principal amount shall become due in accordance with the provisions hereof. Interest will be payable to the Holder of record on the Regular Record Date, provided, however, interest payable on the Stated Maturity will be paid to the person to whom the principal will be payable. The Issuer will pay interest semi-annually in arrears on each Interest Payment Date, commencing April 1, 2022. If any Interest Payment Date, Redemption Date or the Stated Maturity of the Notes is not a Business Day, then the related payment of interest and/or principal payable, as applicable, on such date will be paid on the next succeeding Business Day with the same force and effect as if made on such Interest Payment Date, Redemption Date or Stated Maturity and no further interest will accrue as a result of such delay. Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months.

The Issuer shall pay interest on overdue principal from time to time on demand by the Trustee pursuant to Section 5.3 of the Base Indenture (defined below) at the rate borne by the Notes and on overdue installments of interest (without regard to any applicable grace periods) to the extent lawful.

2.    Paying Agent.

Initially, The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A. (the “Trustee”) will act as paying agent (the “Paying Agent”). The Issuer may change any paying agent without notice to the Holders.

3.    Indenture; Defined Terms.

This Note is one of the 3.750% Senior Notes due 2024 (the “Notes”) issued under the Senior Indenture dated as of June 5, 2009 (as amended, modified or supplemented from time to time in accordance therewith, the “Base Indenture” and, as amended, modified and supplemented by the Nineteenth Supplemental Indenture dated as of September 24, 2021, the “Indenture”) by and between the Issuer and the Trustee, as trustee. This Note is a “Global Security” and the Notes are “Global Securities” under the Indenture.

For purposes of this Note, unless otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms herein are used as defined in the Indenture. The terms of the Notes include those stated in the Indenture and those made part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939 (15 U.S.C. Sections 77aaa-77bbbb) (the “TIA”) as in effect on the date on which the Indenture was qualified under the TIA. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the

 

E-5


Notes are subject to all such terms, and Holders of Notes are referred to the Indenture and the TIA for a statement of them. To the extent the terms of the Indenture and this Note are inconsistent, the terms of the Indenture shall govern.

4.    Denominations; Transfer; Exchange.

The Notes are in registered form, without coupons, in denominations of $2,000 and multiples of $1,000 thereafter. A Holder shall register the transfer or exchange of Notes in accordance with the Indenture. The Issuer may require a Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents and to pay certain transfer taxes or similar governmental charges payable in connection therewith as permitted by the Indenture. The Issuer need not issue, authenticate, register the transfer of or exchange any Notes or portions thereof for a period of fifteen (15) days before the electronic delivery or mailing of a notice of redemption, nor need the Issuer register the transfer or exchange of any Note selected for redemption in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any Security being redeemed in part.

5.    Amendment; Modification; Waiver.

The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Issuer and the rights of the Holders of the Securities of all series affected under the Indenture at any time by the Issuer and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of all series at the time Outstanding affected thereby (voting together as a single class). The Indenture contains provisions permitting the Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of all series at the time Outstanding with respect to which an Event of Default under the Indenture shall have occurred and be continuing (voting together as a single class), on behalf of the Holders of all Securities of such affected series, to waive, with certain exceptions, such past default with respect to all such series and its consequences. The Indenture also permits the Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of each series at the time Outstanding affected thereby (voting together as a single class), on behalf of the Holders of all Securities of such affected series, to waive compliance by the Issuer with certain provisions of the Indenture. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Note shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Note and of any Security issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Note.

6.    Optional Redemption.

Beginning on or after March 24, 2022, the Issuer may redeem the Notes in whole or in part, at its option, at any time or from time to time prior to maturity on at least 10 days, but not more than 60 days, prior notice electronically delivered or mailed to each registered Holder of the Notes (the “Redemption Date”).

If any or all of the Notes are redeemed on or after March 24, 2022 and before March 2, 2024, the Redemption Price will be equal to the greater of: (i) 100% of the principal

 

E-6


amount of the Notes to be redeemed, or (ii) as determined by the Quotation Agent, the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of interest and principal thereon (exclusive of interest accrued and unpaid to, but not including, the Redemption Date), assuming that such Notes matured on March 2, 2024, discounted to the Redemption Date, on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months), at a rate equal to the sum of the Treasury Rate plus 15 basis points, plus, in either case, accrued interest thereon to, but not including, the Redemption Date; provided, however, if the Redemption Date is after a Regular Record Date and on or prior to a corresponding Interest Payment Date, such accrued and unpaid interest will be paid on the Redemption Date to the holder of record on the Regular Record Date.

If any or all of the Notes are redeemed on or after March 2, 2024, the Redemption Price (calculated by the Company) will be equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including, the Redemption Date for such Notes.

On and after the Redemption Date for the Notes, interest will cease to accrue on the Notes or any portion thereof called for redemption, unless the Issuer defaults in the payment of the Redemption Price and accrued interest, if any. On or before the Redemption Date for the Notes, the Issuer shall deposit with the Trustee or a Paying Agent, funds sufficient to pay the Redemption Price of the Notes to be redeemed on the Redemption Date, and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on such Notes. If less than all of the Notes are to be redeemed, the Notes to be redeemed shall be selected in accordance with the procedures of the Depositary; provided, however, that in no event, shall Notes of a principal amount of $2,000 or less be redeemed in part.

Notice of any redemption shall be electronically delivered or mailed at least 10 days but not more than 60 days before the Redemption Date to each Holder of the Notes to be redeemed; provided, however, that if the Trustee is asked to give such notice it shall be notified in writing of such request at least 5 days prior to the date of the giving of such notice (unless a shorter notice shall be satisfactory to the Trustee). Such notice shall state the Redemption Price (if known) or the formula pursuant to which the Redemption Price is to be determined if the Redemption Price cannot be determined at the time the notice is given. If the Redemption Price cannot be determined at the time such notice is to be given, the actual Redemption Price, calculated as described above, shall be set forth in an Officer’s Certificate of the Issuer delivered to the Trustee no later than two Business Days prior to the Redemption Date. Notice of redemption having been given as provided in the Indenture, the Notes called for redemption shall become due and payable on the Redemption Date and at the applicable Redemption Price, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the Redemption Date.

7.    Defaults and Remedies.

If an Event of Default with respect to Notes at the time Outstanding occurs and is continuing, then in every such case the Trustee or the Holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of all affected series then Outstanding (voting together as a single class) may declare the principal amount of all the Securities of the

 

E-7


affected series to be due and payable immediately, by a notice in writing to the Issuer (and to the Trustee if given by Holders), and upon any such declaration such principal amount (or specified amount) of and the accrued interest on all the Securities of such affected series shall become immediately due and payable.

The Indenture permits, subject to certain limitations therein provided, Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of all affected series (voting together as a single class) at the time Outstanding, to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee, with respect to the Securities of such series.

8.    Authentication.

This Note shall not be valid until the Trustee manually, electronically or by facsimile signs the certificate of authentication on this Note.

9.    Abbreviations and Defined Terms.

Customary abbreviations may be used in the name of a Holder of a Note or an assignee, such as: TEN COM (= tenants in common), TEN ENT (= tenants by the entireties), JT TEN (= joint tenants with right of survivorship and not as tenants in common), CUST (= Custodian), and U/G/M/A (= Uniform Gifts to Minors Act).

10.    CUSIP Numbers.

Pursuant to a recommendation promulgated by the Committee on Uniform Security Identification Procedures, the Issuer has caused CUSIP numbers to be printed on the Notes as a convenience to the Holders of the Notes. No representation is made as to the accuracy of such numbers as printed on the Notes and reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed hereon.

(REVERSE OF NOTE)

THE CHARLES SCHWAB CORPORATION

3.300% Senior Notes due 2027

1.    Interest.

The Charles Schwab Corporation (the “Issuer”) promises to pay interest on the principal amount of this Note at the rate per annum described above. Cash interest on the Notes will accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid; or, if no interest has been paid, from and including October 1, 2021. Interest on this Note will be paid to but excluding the relevant Interest Payment Date or on such earlier date as the principal amount shall become due in accordance with the provisions hereof. Interest will be payable to the Holder of record on the Regular Record Date, provided, however, interest payable on the Stated Maturity will be paid to the person to whom the principal will be payable. The Issuer will pay interest semi-annually in arrears on each Interest Payment Date, commencing April 1, 2022. If any Interest Payment Date, Redemption Date or the Stated Maturity of the Notes is not a Business Day, then the related payment of interest and/or principal payable, as applicable, on such date will be paid on the next succeeding Business Day with the same force and effect as if made on such Interest Payment Date, Redemption Date or Stated Maturity and no further interest will accrue as a result of such delay. Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months.

The Issuer shall pay interest on overdue principal from time to time on demand by the Trustee pursuant to Section 5.3 of the Base Indenture (defined below) at the rate borne by the Notes and on overdue installments of interest (without regard to any applicable grace periods) to the extent lawful.

2.    Paying Agent.

Initially, The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A. (the “Trustee”) will act as paying agent (the “Paying Agent”). The Issuer may change any paying agent without notice to the Holders.

3.    Indenture; Defined Terms.

This Note is one of the 3.300% Senior Notes due 2027 (the “Notes”) issued under the Senior Indenture dated as of June 5, 2009 (as amended, modified or supplemented from time to time in accordance therewith, the “Base Indenture” and, as amended, modified and supplemented by the Nineteenth Supplemental Indenture dated as of September 24, 2021, the “Indenture”) by and between the Issuer and the Trustee, as trustee. This Note is a “Global Security” and the Notes are “Global Securities” under the Indenture.

For purposes of this Note, unless otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms herein are used as defined in the Indenture. The terms of the Notes include those stated in the Indenture and those made part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939 (15 U.S.C. Sections 77aaa-77bbbb) (the “TIA”) as in effect on the date on which the Indenture was qualified under the TIA. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the

 

E-23


Notes are subject to all such terms, and Holders of Notes are referred to the Indenture and the TIA for a statement of them. To the extent the terms of the Indenture and this Note are inconsistent, the terms of the Indenture shall govern.

4.    Denominations; Transfer; Exchange.

The Notes are in registered form, without coupons, in denominations of $2,000 and multiples of $1,000 thereafter. A Holder shall register the transfer or exchange of Notes in accordance with the Indenture. The Issuer may require a Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents and to pay certain transfer taxes or similar governmental charges payable in connection therewith as permitted by the Indenture. The Issuer need not issue, authenticate, register the transfer of or exchange any Notes or portions thereof for a period of fifteen (15) days before the electronic delivery or mailing of a notice of redemption, nor need the Issuer register the transfer or exchange of any Note selected for redemption in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any Security being redeemed in part.

5.    Amendment; Modification; Waiver.

The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Issuer and the rights of the Holders of the Securities of all series affected under the Indenture at any time by the Issuer and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of all series at the time Outstanding affected thereby (voting together as a single class). The Indenture contains provisions permitting the Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of all series at the time Outstanding with respect to which an Event of Default under the Indenture shall have occurred and be continuing (voting together as a single class), on behalf of the Holders of all Securities of such affected series, to waive, with certain exceptions, such past default with respect to all such series and its consequences. The Indenture also permits the Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of each series at the time Outstanding affected thereby (voting together as a single class), on behalf of the Holders of all Securities of such affected series, to waive compliance by the Issuer with certain provisions of the Indenture. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Note shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Note and of any Security issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Note.

6.    Optional Redemption.

Beginning on or after March 24, 2022, the Issuer may redeem the Notes in whole or in part, at its option, at any time or from time to time prior to maturity on at least 10 days, but not more than 60 days, prior notice electronically delivered or mailed to each registered Holder of the Notes (the “Redemption Date”).

If any or all of the Notes are redeemed on or after March 24, 2022 and before January 1, 2027, the Redemption Price will be equal to the greater of: (i) 100% of the principal

 

E-24


amount of the Notes to be redeemed, or (ii) as determined by the Quotation Agent, the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of interest and principal thereon (exclusive of interest accrued and unpaid to, but not including, the Redemption Date), assuming that such Notes matured on January 1, 2027, discounted to the Redemption Date, on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months), at a rate equal to the sum of the Treasury Rate plus 20 basis points, plus, in either case, accrued interest thereon to, but not including, the Redemption Date; provided, however, if the Redemption Date is after a Regular Record Date and on or prior to a corresponding Interest Payment Date, such accrued and unpaid interest will be paid on the Redemption Date to the holder of record on the Regular Record Date.

If any or all of the Notes are redeemed on or after January 1, 2027, the Redemption Price (calculated by the Company) will be equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including, the Redemption Date for such Notes.

On and after the Redemption Date for the Notes, interest will cease to accrue on the Notes or any portion thereof called for redemption, unless the Issuer defaults in the payment of the Redemption Price and accrued interest, if any. On or before the Redemption Date for the Notes, the Issuer shall deposit with the Trustee or a Paying Agent, funds sufficient to pay the Redemption Price of the Notes to be redeemed on the Redemption Date, and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on such Notes. If less than all of the Notes are to be redeemed, the Notes to be redeemed shall be selected in accordance with the procedures of the Depositary; provided, however, that in no event, shall Notes of a principal amount of $2,000 or less be redeemed in part.

Notice of any redemption shall be electronically delivered or mailed at least 10 days but not more than 60 days before the Redemption Date to each Holder of the Notes to be redeemed; provided, however, that if the Trustee is asked to give such notice it shall be notified in writing of such request at least 5 days prior to the date of the giving of such notice (unless a shorter notice shall be satisfactory to the Trustee). Such notice shall state the Redemption Price (if known) or the formula pursuant to which the Redemption Price is to be determined if the Redemption Price cannot be determined at the time the notice is given. If the Redemption Price cannot be determined at the time such notice is to be given, the actual Redemption Price, calculated as described above, shall be set forth in an Officer’s Certificate of the Issuer delivered to the Trustee no later than two Business Days prior to the Redemption Date. Notice of redemption having been given as provided in the Indenture, the Notes called for redemption shall become due and payable on the Redemption Date and at the applicable Redemption Price, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the Redemption Date.

7.    Defaults and Remedies.

If an Event of Default with respect to Notes at the time Outstanding occurs and is continuing, then in every such case the Trustee or the Holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of all affected series then Outstanding (voting together as a single class) may declare the principal amount of all the Securities of the

 

E-25


affected series to be due and payable immediately, by a notice in writing to the Issuer (and to the Trustee if given by Holders), and upon any such declaration such principal amount (or specified amount) of and the accrued interest on all the Securities of such affected series shall become immediately due and payable.

The Indenture permits, subject to certain limitations therein provided, Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of all affected series (voting together as a single class) at the time Outstanding, to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee, with respect to the Securities of such series.

Pursuant to Section 9.02 of the Base Indenture, the Company and the Trustee (in the case of the Trustee, acting in reliance upon the evidence of the Requisite Consent the Company has received from the Holders of the outstanding Securities, as certified by Global Bondholder Services Corporation) hereby agree to amend or supplement certain provisions of the Base Indenture as follows:

(a) At such time the Other Remaining Notes are no longer outstanding and the Notes are the only outstanding series of Securities under the Base Indenture (“Termination of the Other Remaining Notes”), the following amendments shall enter into effect:

 

  (i)

Section 4.07 of the Base Indenture is to be amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

Section 4.07. Reports by Company.

The Company shall comply with the provisions of Section 314(a) of the Trust Indenture Act to the extent applicable.”

 

  (ii)

Section 4.09 is to be amended and restated in its entirety to delete Section 4.09 and all references and definitions to the extent solely relating thereto in their entirety and replacing such Section 4.09 with “[Reserved]”.

Section 5.01. Consolidation, Merger by the Company. The Company shall not consolidate with or merge into any other Person and the Company shall not permit any Person to consolidate with or merge into the Company, unless:

  (ii)

the Person formed by or surviving any such consolidation or merger (if other than the Company) is a corporation or limited liability company organized or existing under the laws of the United States, any state of the United States or the District of Columbia; and

 

  (b)

Upon any consolidation or merger, in a transaction that is subject to, and that complies with the provisions of, Section 5.01 hereof, the successor Person formed by such consolidation or into or with which the Company is merged shall succeed to, and be substituted for (so that from and after the date of such consolidation or merger, the provisions of this Indenture referring to the “Company” shall refer instead to the successor Person and not to the Company), and may exercise every right and power of the Company under this Indenture with the same effect as if such successor Person had been named as the Company herein.

Such successor Person may cause to be signed, and may issue either in its own name or in the name of the Company prior to such succession, any or all of the Securities issuable hereunder which theretofore shall not have been signed by the Company and delivered to the Trustee; and, upon the order of such successor Person instead of the Company and subject to all the terms, conditions and limitations in this Indenture prescribed, the Trustee shall authenticate and shall deliver any Securities which previously shall have been signed and delivered by the officers of the Company to the Trustee for authentication pursuant to such provisions and any Securities which such successor Person thereafter shall cause to be signed and delivered to the Trustee on its behalf for that purpose pursuant to such provisions. All of the Securities so issued shall in all respects have the same legal rank and benefit under this Indenture as the Securities theretofore or thereafter issued in accordance with the terms of this Indenture as though all of such Securities had been issued at the date of the execution hereof.

In case of any such consolidation, merger, such changes in phraseology and form may be made in the Securities thereafter to be issued as may be appropriate.

(b) When a Lien securing indebtedness for borrowed money that gave rise to the requirement under Section 4.01(a) that the Floating Rate Notes be secured equally and ratably thereby is released or terminated, as the case may be, by the holder or holders thereof, then the corresponding Lien that secures the Floating Rate Notes shall be deemed automatically released or terminated, as the case may be, without further act or deed on the part of any Person. At the request of the Company, the Trustee shall execute and deliver an appropriate instrument evidencing such release or termination.”
