“Change in Control” means the occurrence of any of the following events:


(i)    A change in the ownership of the Company.

(ii)    A change in the effective control of the Company.  A change in the effective control of the Company shall occur on the date that: (1) the Board determines, in its sole and absolute discretion, that any one person, or more than one person acting as a group, acquires (or has acquired during the 12-month period ending on the date of the most recent acquisition by such person or persons) ownership of the Stock of the Company possessing up to fifty percent (50%) or more of the total voting power of the Stock of the Company, in each case whether such acquisition is by means of a tender offer, exchange offer, merger, business combination or otherwise; or (2) a majority of members of the Board of Directors is replaced during any 12-month period by directors whose appointment or election is not endorsed by a majority of the members of the Board of Directors prior to the date of the appointment or election.  For purposes of this subsection (ii), if any one person, or more than one person acting as a group, is considered to effectively control the Company, the acquisition of additional control of the Company by the same person or persons shall not be considered a Change of Control; or


(iii)    A change in the ownership of a substantial portion of the Company’s assets.  A change in the ownership of a substantial portion of the Company’s assets shall occur on the date that any one person, or more than one person acting as a group, acquires (or has acquired during the 12-month period ending on the date of the most recent acquisition by such person or persons) assets from the Company that have a total gross fair market value equal to or more than fifty percent (50%) of the total fair market value of all of the assets of the Company immediately prior to such acquisition or acquisitions; provided, however, that for purposes of this subsection (iii), the following shall not constitute a change in the ownership of a substantial portion of the Company’s assets: (1) a transfer to an entity that is controlled by the Company’s stockholders immediately after the transfer; or (2) a transfer of assets by the Company to: (A) a stockholder of the Company (immediately before the asset transfer) in exchange for or with respect to the Company’s Stock; (B) an entity, fifty percent (50%) or more of the total value or voting power of which is owned, directly or indirectly, by the Company; (C) a person, or more than one person acting as a group, that owns, directly or indirectly, fifty percent (50%) or more of the total value or voting power of all the outstanding Stock of the Company; or (D) an entity, at least fifty percent (50%) of the total value or voting power of which is owned, directly or indirectly.

A “Change of Control” shall not be deemed to have occurred if the Company’s outstanding Shares or substantially all of the Company’s assets are purchased by TD Bank Group.


“Code” mean the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. 


“Company” means TD Ameritrade Holding Corp. or any of its wholly-owned subsidiaries.
