Such a committee may be appointed by designating another committee, such as the Compensation Committee of A.G. Edwards & Sons, Inc., to serve as Administrator.

A particular committee to whom a specific duty is so allocated shall have the sole responsibility and authority for carrying out such duty. A committee shall continue to serve in its appointed role until its role is terminated or changed by the Board of Directors.

(b) Duties.

5. Award.

Determination of Awards. The award ("Award"), if any, of Options and Restricted Shares (as hereinafter defined) or both to which an Eligible Employee is entitled for any specific fiscal year of the Company shall be determined by the Administrator. The Award hereunder to an Eligible Employee is for services rendered by the Eligible Employee during the fiscal year of the Company on which such Award is based. No Eligible Employee shall be entitled to an Award absent a determination by the Administrator which shall be made at the discretion of the Administrator.

The Administrator in its discretion, shall establish how the Award, if any, shall be allocated between Options or Restricted Shares or both.

6. Stock Options.

(a) Grant and Time of Award. Subject to Section 5, awards of options ("Options") to purchase shares of Common Stock from the Company shall be granted to Eligible Employees as determined by the Administrator. Options shall be in the form of "Nonqualified Stock Options," which are not intended to qualify as incentive stock options within the meaning of Section 422 of the Code. Awards of Options ("Option Awards") shall be made for each fiscal year of the Company during the term of the Plan as of the last day of each such fiscal year (an "Option Award Date"). The amount of the Option Awards, if any, on a specific Option Award Date shall be determined as soon as administratively practical after the end of each such fiscal year (an "Option Determination Date").

(b) Exercise. Options shall entitle a Participant to purchase shares of Common Stock at a price (an "Exercise Price") per share equal to the Market Value of the Common Stock on the applicable Option Determination Date. Options shall become exercisable three (3) years after the applicable Option Award Date (a "Vesting Period"), and must be exercised no later than ten (10) years, unless extended, after the applicable Option Award Date. Any Vesting Period shall be extended by the length of any leave of absence, except a leave of absence for medical reasons approved in writing by the Administrator. Options that are not exercised within ten (10) years (unless extended) after the applicable Option Award Date will lapse. A Participant may exercise all of his vested Options in any order and at one time or at different times for less than the total amount until all of his vested Options have been exercised. A Participant may exercise his Options only by giving the Administrator written notice of his intent to exercise his Options. The written notice must be in a form acceptable by the Administrator. When a Participant exercises an Option, the applicable Exercise Price is payable to the Company in full in cash; provided, the Administrator (or a Disinterested Administrator in the case of a Reporting Person) may permit a Participant to pay for all or any part of the Common Stock purchased on exercise of an Option with shares of Common Stock (valued at their Market Value on the date of the exercise) already owned by the Participant or acquired pursuant to the exercise of his Options.

(c) Restrictions.

(1) Assignment. During a Participant's lifetime, Options shall be exercisable only by the Participant. A Participant cannot transfer or assign his Options awarded under the Plan other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution.

(2) Forfeiture. A Participant will forfeit his unvested Options if his employment with the Employer is terminated for any reason other than death or Disability on or before the end of any applicable Vesting Period. A Termination of Employment shall not be deemed to occur if a Participant merely transfers from the Companyto a Subsidiary, from one Subsidiary to another Subsidiary or from a Subsidiary to the Company.

If a Participant is reemployed by the Company within one year after a termination of employment, Options forfeited on account of such a termination of employment shall be restored. The three-year vesting period for such Options shall be extended by the length of absence from employment; but the original expiration date of such Option shall not be extended.

(3) Termination of Restrictions.

(A) If a Participant's employment is terminated before the end of any applicable Vesting Period because of death or Disability, his unvested Options may be exercised by him (or his beneficiary, personal representative or distributee, as applicable) during a seven-year exercise period beginning as of the date of such Termination of Employment, but in no event later than the expiration of the applicable original exercise period.

(B) Any Vesting Period shall end and all unvested Options shall become exercisable immediately upon a Change in Control.

(4) No Rights as a Stockholder. No person entitled to exercise any Option granted under the Plan shall have any of the rights or privileges of a stockholder of the Company with respect to shares issuable upon exercise of such Option until certificates representing such shares shall have been issued and delivered to such person.

(d) Awards for Senior Participants. The terms of this Section 6(d) shall apply to any unvested Options held by a Participant age 55 or older (a "Senior Participant"). Shares subject to any unvested Option held by a Senior Participant shall not be forfeited (but shall remain subject to any applicable Vesting Period) merely because such Senior Participant's employment with the Employer is terminated (other than a Termination for Aggravated Cause).

Upon a Termination for Aggravated Cause, a Senior Participant shall forfeit all unvested Options. A Senior Participant who engages in Competition with the Employer within any Vesting Period shall forfeit his unvested Options at the time such Competition with the Employer commences. All of the Options of a Senior Participant shall become fully vested immediately upon a Change in Control. Any restrictions, terms or conditions in this Section 6 applicable to Options generally shall apply to a Senior Participant's Options to the extent they are not inconsistent with the provisions of this Section 6(d).

7. Restricted Shares.

(a) Time of Award. "Restricted Shares" are shares of Common Stock that are subject to certain restrictions on their disposition and to the rights of the Company to reacquire such shares upon the occurrence of certain events, all on the terms specified in the Plan. Subject to Section 5), Restricted Shares shall be awarded to Eligible Employees as determined by the Administrator. Awards of Restricted Shares ("Restricted Share Awards") shall be made for each fiscal year of the Company during the term of the Plan as of the last day of each such fiscal year (a "Restricted Share Award Date"). The amounts of the Restricted Share Awards, if any, shall be determined as soon as administratively practical after the end of each such fiscal year (a "Restricted Share Determination Date").

(b) Restrictions.

(1) Restricted Period. Restricted Shares shall be subject to the restrictions described herein for three (3) years from their applicable Restricted Share Award Date (a "Restricted Period"). Any Restricted Period shall be extended by the length of any leave of absence, except a leave of absence for medical reasons approved in writing by the Administrator. During any Restricted Period, a Participant will have the entire beneficial ownership and the right to vote his Restricted Shares and receive any dividends thereon; provided, however, a Participant may not sell, transfer, pledge or otherwise dispose of or encumber his Restricted Shares (other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution) during any applicable Restricted Period. A Participant shall not be entitled to delivery of a certificate representing shares of Common Stock until the expiration of the Restricted Period applicable to such shares as Restricted Shares.

(2) Forfeiture. A Participant will forfeit his Restricted Shares if his employment with the Employer is terminated for any reason other than death or Disability within any Restricted Period. A termination of employment shall not be deemed to occur if a Participant merely transfers from the Company to a Subsidiary, from one Subsidiary to another Subsidiary or from a Subsidiary to the Company.

If a Participant is reemployed by the Company within one year after a termination of employment, Restricted Shares forfeited on account of such a termination of employment shall be returned to the Participant. The restricted period for such Restricted Shares shall be extended by the length of absence from employment. The Participant shall not be entitled to any dividends, the record date of which ocurred during such absence.

(3) Termination of Restrictions.

(A) If a Participant's employment with the Employer is terminated during any Restricted Period because of death or Disability, the restrictions on his Restricted Shares will end and he (or his beneficiary, personal representative or distributee, as applicable) will be entitled to receive and retain his Restricted Shares.

(B) A Restricted Period shall end, and Participants shall have a nonforfeitable right to their Restricted Shares, immediately upon a Change in Control.

(c) Awards for Senior Participants. The terms of this Section 7(c) shall apply to any Restricted Shares held by a Senior Participant, except as may be provided in Section 7(d). Restricted Shares held by a Senior Participant shall not be forfeited (but shall remain subject to their restrictions during any applicable Restricted Period) merely because such Senior Participant's employment with the Employer is terminated (other than a Termination for Aggravated Cause). Upon a Termination for Aggravated Cause, a Senior Participant shall forfeit all of his Restricted Shares still subject to a Restricted Period at the time of termination. A Senior Participant who engages in Competition with the Employer during any Restricted Period shall forfeit all of his Restricted Shares subject to a Restricted Period at the time such Competition with the Employer commences. A Restricted Period applicable to a Senior Participant's Restricted Shares shall end upon a Change in Control. Any restrictions, terms or conditions in this Section 7 applicable to Restricted Shares generally shall apply to a Senior Participant's Restricted Shares to the extent they are not inconsistent with the provisions of this Section 7(c).

(d) Phantom Stock Credits. An Eligible Employee who is 60 years of age or older (an "Over 60 Participant") on any Restricted Share Award Date, and who is awarded Restricted Shares as all or part of his Award, shall not be awarded Restricted Shares on that date. Instead, such an Over 60 Participant shall be awarded "Phantom Stock Credits" which will serve as the basis for an award of Restricted Shares two years after such a Restricted Share Award Date (a "Deferred Award Date"), with each Phantom Stock Credit representing the right to receive one share of Restricted Stock. An account shall be established for each Over 60 Participant to show the number of Phantom Stock Credits allocated to him. The award of Phantom Stock Credits allocated to such an account for any specific fiscal year of the Company shall be in an amount that will entitle such Over 60 Participant to the number of Restricted Shares to which such Over 60 Participant would have been Awarded if such Over 60 Participant had been younger than 60 years of age on the applicable Restricted Share Award Date.

The number of Phantom Stock Credits in an Over 60 Participant's account shall be adjusted to reflect dividends on the Common Stock on each dividend record date after the applicable Restricted Share Determination Date. The number of additional Phantom Stock Credits allocated to an Over 60 Participant's account for a cash dividend shall equal the total amount of each such dividend imputed to such Over 60 Participant (the per share dividend multiplied by the number of Phantom Stock Credits in such Over 60 Participant's account before such increase) divided by the Market Value of the Common Stock on the record date of the dividend. The number of additional Phantom Stock Credits allocated to an Over 60 Participant's account for a stock dividend shall equal the number of additional shares of Common Stock to which such Over 60 Participant would have been entitled if he had been the holder of a number of shares of Common Stock equal in number to the number of Phantom Stock Credits allocated to his account as of that dividend record date before such increase. The number of Phantom Stock Credits allocated to an Over 60 Participant's account instead of dividends will be added to the total number of such Over 60 Participant's Phantom Stock Credits for calculating future amounts to be allocated in lieu of dividends.

Over 60 Participants cannot transfer or assign their Phantom Stock Credits awarded under the Plan other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution. If an Over 60 Participant's employment is terminated (other than a Termination for Aggravated Cause), he shall not forfeit the right to an award of Restricted Shares on any Deferred Award Date, nor shall he forfeit Restricted Shares awarded on any Deferred Award Date, merely because of such a termination. If an Over 60 Participant's employment is terminated before any Deferred Award Date because of death or Disability, such Over 60 Participant (or his beneficiary, personal representative or distributee, as applicable) shall be entitled to receive at the time of such termination a stock certificate for the whole number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of Phantom Stock Credits then credited to his account (rounded down to the nearest whole number of shares). Any Deferred Award Date shall occur and any applicable Restricted Period for Restricted Shares awarded shall end immediately upon a Change in Control.

If an Over 60 Participant's termination is a Termination for Aggravated Cause, he shall forfeit the right to an award of Restricted Shares based on any Phantom Stock Credits attributable to his account and shall forfeit all shares of Restricted Shares still subject to a Restricted Period at the time of his Termination for Aggravated Cause. An Over 60 Participant who engages in Competition with the Employer before any Deferred Award Date or the end of any Restricted Period shall forfeit his Phantom Stock Credits and Restricted Shares.

As of any specific Deferred Award Date, each Over 60 Participant shall be awarded that number of shares of Restricted Shares equal to the number of Phantom Stock Credits (rounded down to the nearest whole share) then credited to his account for the applicable award year. Restricted Shares awarded as of any Deferred Award Date shall be subject to all of the previously described terms and restrictions applicable to Restricted Shares, to the extent they are not inconsistent with the provisions of this Section 7(d), except that any applicable Restricted Period shall be for only nine months unless extended during a leave of absence. Over 60 Participants have no rights as stockholders with respect to their Phantom Stock Credits until their Restricted Shares are awarded.

8. Employee Stock Purchase Plan.

Solely for purposes of the Code, this Section 8 shall be treated as a separate plan and referred to as the A.G. Edwards, Inc. Employee Stock Purchase Plan ("Employee Stock Purchase Plan"). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plan, the following provisions shall apply to any options ("Section 423 Options") to purchase Common Stock awarded Participants ("Offering") in accordance with this Section 8:

(a) Eligibility. Section 423 Options awarded in accordance with the Employee Stock Purchase Plan shall be granted only to Employees. To be eligible for an award of Section 423 Options in any specific Offering, an Employee (a "Stock Purchase Plan Eligible Employee") must be a full-time or part-time Employee (temporary Employees are not eligible) on the Date of Grant (as hereinafter defined) for such Offering and on the first business day in October of the next year after such date.

Irrespective of any other provision of the Plan or the Employee Stock Purchase Plan, no Section 423 Option may be granted to an Employee who owns stock possessing 5% or more of the total combined voting power or value of all classes of stock of the Company or a Subsidiary as determined in accordance with Section 423(b)(3) of the Code; and no Section 423 Option may be granted to any Employee if such option permits the Employee's rights to purchase stock under all employee stock purchase plans (as defined in Section 423 of the Code) of the Company or any Subsidiary to accrue at a rate that exceeds Twenty-Five Thousand Dollars ($25,000.00) of Market Value of such stock (determined at the time the Section 423 Option is granted) for each calendar year in which such option is outstanding at any time.

(b) Timing of Offerings. An Offering shall be made for each fiscal year of the Company during the term of the Plan as of the first Business Day in October of each such fiscal year. The total number of shares offered ("Offered Shares") to all Stock Purchase Plan Eligible Employees in any specific Offering shall be determined by the Administrator. Subject to a Stock Purchase Plan Eligible Employee's election to participate in an Offering pursuant to Section 8(e), Section 423 Options shall be granted to each individual who is a Stock Purchase Plan Eligible Employee on the Date of Grant of any Offering. For purposes of this Section 8, "Date of Grant" shall have the same meaning as set forth in Treasury Regulation 1.421-7(c).

(c) Amount of Shares Purchasable. Section 423 Options granted to a Participant in connection with any specific Offering shall entitle such Participant to purchase individually at the end of the applicable Offering Period (as hereinafter defined) his proportionate share of the Offered Shares for such Offering, based on the percentage that his individual contributions represent of the total contributions of all Stock Purchase Plan Eligible Employees with respect to such Offering; provided, however, a Stock Purchase Plan Eligible Employee may not purchase more than $25,000 worth of Common Stock as provided in Section 7(a).

Only full shares of Common Stock may be purchased, and no fractional shares will be issued; provided, any amounts not used to purchase Common Stock shall be refunded on terms established by the Administrator. If any Offering is oversubscribed, any amount received from any Participant that is not used to purchase Common Stock shall be refunded on terms established by the Administrator. No Section 423 Option awarded in accordance with the terms of the Employee Stock Purchase Plan shall be transferable otherwise than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution, and shall be exercisable only by the Participant to whom it is granted or by a transferee as permitted herein.

(d) Purchase Price. The price ("Purchase Price") per share at which Participants can purchase Common Stock pursuant to their Section 423 Options granted with respect to any specific Offering shall be the lesser of the following two amounts: (1) the greater of (A) 85% of the Market Value of the Common Stock on the applicable Date of Grant, or (B) 85% of the average of the Market Values of the Common Stock on the first Business Day of each month in the Offering Period (as hereinafter defined), including the month of the applicable Date of Grant; and (2) 85% of the Market Value on the earlier of (i) Change in Control or (ii) the first Business Day in October of the next year after the applicable Date of Grant.

(e) Participation and Contributions. To participate in any specific Offering, a Stock Purchase Plan Eligible Employee must elect to contribute between 1% and 10% of his total cash compensation (based on salary, commission, bonus and overtime) paid during the period from the applicable Date of Grant until the earlier of (i) Change in Control or (ii) the first Business Day in October of the next year after such date (an "Offering Period").

During any Offering Period, a Participant may not increase or decrease his contributions; provided, he may stop future contributions for the remainder of such Offering Period and either use amounts contributed up to that date to purchase Common Stock at the end of the Offering Period, or request a refund of the total amount contributed during such Offering Period. A Participant may request a refund of all, but not less than all, of his contributions prior to the end of any specific Offering Period, in which case he would cease to be a Participant in that Offering. If a Participant's employment is terminated prior to the end of a specific Offering Period, he will not be able to continue participation in that Offering, and contributions with respect to that Offering will be automatically refunded.

The Administrator may establish and adopt uniform rules and forms relating to how and when elections, contributions, withdrawals and refunds may be made by or paid to Participants. All employees granted Section 423 Options under the Employee Stock Purchase Plan shall have the same rights and privileges as required by Section 423(b)(5) of the Code.

(f) Purchase of Stock. Common Stock shall be purchased automatically for Participants using their accumulated contributions to the maximum possible extent at the end of any specific Offering Period. A Participant must be a Stock Purchase Plan Eligible Employee at the end of a specific Offering Period to purchase Common Stock in the Offering.

(g) Reporting Person Restrictions and Limitations. Notwithstanding any provision contained in this Section 8 to the contrary, if a Reporting Person who is a Participant in the Employee Stock Purchase Plan elects to cease participation in the Employee Stock Purchase Plan, (including by means of an election to request a refund pursuant to Section 8(e)) such Participant may not elect to participate again for at least six (6) months from the date of the prior election.

9. Other Benefits.

A Disinterested Administrator may award Common Stock or the right to acquire Common Stock to any Employee upon such terms and conditions as such Disinterested Administrator in its discretion shall determine. Such awards may consist of any single Benefit, or a combination of the Benefits, described in the preceding sections (in addition to the award of any such Benefits pursuant to the terms, conditions and formulae contained in such preceding sections), or any other right to acquire Common Stock (including, without limitation, options granted in the form of "Incentive Stock Options" which are intended to qualify as incentive stock options within the meaning of Section 422 of the Code or stock appreciation rights), and may be subject to any conditions such Disinterested Administrator may prescribe, such as a right of first refusal by the Company to repurchase the shares; provided, however, that any Benefit awarded in accordance with the provisions of the Plan which grants the right to purchase shares of Common Stock, except any Benefit which is subject to restrictions that in the aggregate would amount to a substantial risk of forfeiture for purposes of Section 83 of the Code, shall require that the price at which the Participant may purchase such shares shall be at least 85% of the Market Value of such shares as determined by such Disinterested Administrator at the time such benefit is awarded.

The Administrator may make any type of awards that can be made by a Disinterested Administrator; provided, unless the Plan is amended as provided below, such awards are made only to Employees who are not Reporting Persons. The Board of Directors may amend the Plan, from time to time as provided or limited herein, (i) to change any terms, conditions or formulae pursuant to which an award of Benefits as described in the preceding sections may be awarded (either increasing or decreasing the amount of such awards); provided, such changes comply with Rule 16b-3 and/or (ii) to provide terms, conditions and a formula (complying with Rule 16b-3) pursuant to which any right to acquire Common Stock (including, without limitation, Incentive Stock Options and stock appreciation rights) may be awarded, in addition to the Benefits described in the preceding sections. If any such amendments are made, the awards of Benefits authorized by such amendments may be administered by the Administrator.

10. Shares Subject to Plan.

Such shares may be unissued shares or treasury shares.

If there is a lapse, expiration, termination or cancellation of any Benefit without the issuance of shares, or if shares are issued in connection with any Benefit and later are reacquired by the Company pursuant to rights reserved on issuance, the shares subject to or reserved for such Benefit may again be used in connection with the grant of any of the Benefits described in this Plan; provided, that in no event may the number of shares of Common Stock issued under this Plan exceed fifty-four million four hundred ninety-two thousand one hundred eighty-eight (54,492,188), subject to adjustment as described in Section 11.

Any increase in the shares, or the right to acquire shares, as the result of such an adjustment shall be subject to the same terms and conditions that apply to the Benefit for which such increase was received. No fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issued under the Plan on account of any such adjustment, and rights to shares always shall be limited after such an adjustment to the lower full share.

12. Amendment of the Plan.

Except as provided below, the Board of Directors of the Company may at any time amend the Plan (including the provisions of the Employee Stock Purchase Plan); provided, the Board may not, without approval (within twelve months before or after the date of such change) of such number of the stockholders as may be required by either federal income tax or securities law for any particular amendment: (a) increase the maximum number of shares of Common Stock in the aggregate which may be issued under the Plan, except as may be permitted under the adjustment provisions of Section 11, or (b) adopt any other amendment for which shareholder approval is required by federal income tax or securities laws. The Board of Directors may not alter or impair any Benefit previously granted under the Plan without the consent of the person to whom the Benefit was granted.

If required to qualify the Plan under Rule l6b-3, no amendment to the Plan shall be made more than once every six months that would change the amount, price or timing of any Benefits awarded by the terms of any formula contained in the Plan, other than to comport with changes in the Code, the Employment Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (as amended), or the rules thereunder.

13. Termination of the Plan.

The Plan shall continue in force until it is terminated by the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors may terminate or suspend the Plan (including the Employee Stock Purchase Plan) at any time. No Benefit shall be awarded after termination of the Plan.
