of Special Voting Preferred Stock shall have a number of votes
equal to the number of exchangeable preference shares
(“Exchangeable Shares”) of TD Waterhouse Investor

vote of stockholders of the Corporation.

     
(B)  COMMON STOCK AND SPECIAL VOTING PREFERRED STOCK
IDENTICAL IN VOTING RIGHTS. Except as otherwise required by law
or the Certificate of Incorporation, in respect of all matters
concerning the voting of shares of capital stock of the
Corporation, the Common Stock (and any other class or series of

vote as a single class and such voting rights shall be identical
in all respects.

     
(C)  SPECIAL CLASS VOTE. Notwithstanding the foregoing or
any other provision of the Certificate of Incorporation, the
Corporation shall not, without the consent of the holder of the
Special Voting Preferred Stock, voting as a separate class,

rights of the Special Voting Preferred Stock, or
(ii) create or issue additional shares of Special Voting
Preferred Stock.

     
SECTION 3.  LIQUIDATION. In the event of any
liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, the

Corporation. For the purposes of this Section 3, neither
the sale, conveyance, exchange or transfer (for cash, shares of
stock, securities or other consideration) of all or
substantially all of the property or assets of the Corporation,
nor the consolidation or merger of the Corporation with or into
one or more other entities, shall be deemed to be a liquidation,
dissolution or winding-up of the Corporation.

     
SECTION 4.  DIVIDENDS. The holder of the Special
Voting Preferred Stock shall not be entitled to receive any
dividends, whether payable in cash, in property or in shares of
capital stock of the Corporation.

share for, shares of any other series or class of capital stock
of the Corporation or of any other person.

Preferred Stock shall not be subject to redemption, except that
at such time as no Exchangeable Shares (other than Exchangeable
Shares owned by the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries),
shall be outstanding, and there are no shares of stock, debt,
options or other agreements of TD Waterhouse Canada which could
give rise to the issuance of any Exchangeable Shares to any
person (other than to the Corporation or any of its
subsidiaries), the Special Voting Preferred Stock shall
automatically be redeemed by the Corporation without the payment
of any consideration by the Corporation and shall thereupon be
cancelled and retired in accordance with Section 1(B)
hereof.

ARTICLE 2

SERVICES AND COMPENSATION

2.1 Services Provided

	 	(a)	 	Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in
this Agreement, TD Group or Waterhouse Group, as the case may be,
will provide or cause to be provided to the members of the other’s
Group, as applicable, (the “Service Receiver”) the services
(collectively, the “Services” and individually, a “Service”) set
forth in Exhibits A through E (including any schedules to such
exhibits or other exhibits as may be added to this Agreement by
amendment from time to time) attached hereto and incorporated herein
by reference (collectively, the “Exhibits” and individually, an
“Exhibit”). The member of TD Group or Waterhouse Group providing a
Service is herein referred to as the “Service Provider”. Each
Service shall be subject to the terms identified in the Exhibit
related thereto. In the event any Service is terminated, this
master services agreement (the “Agreement”) shall remain in effect,
unless otherwise terminated as provided in Section 6.1 hereof. In
the event of any conflict between the terms of this Agreement and
any Exhibit, the terms of this Agreement shall govern, unless the
terms of such Exhibit are expressly stated to override the terms of
this Agreement.
	 
	 	(b)	 	In addition, a member of Waterhouse Group may request that a
member of TD Group expand, terminate or otherwise modify existing
Services provided by such member of TD Group or provide additional
services, and a member of TD Group may request that a member of
Waterhouse Group expand, terminate or otherwise modify existing
Services provided by such member of Waterhouse Group or provide
additional services. Subject to agreement on the appropriate
compensation, which will be based on the principles set out in
Section 2.3 hereof, a member of TD Group will agree to provide
expanded, modified or additional services to a member of Waterhouse
Group where such services were provided by such member of TD Group
to such member of Waterhouse Group (and vice-versa) within the year
immediately preceding the execution of this Agreement. With respect
to any other services, the parties will discuss, without obligation,
such expansion or modification of Services or provision of
additional services and an appropriate charge for such services.
Upon the request of a Service Receiver, a Service Provider shall
agree to terminate a Service on 90 days’ advance notice, subject to
agreement on an appropriate reduction in the compensation payable
hereunder. Any agreement to expand, modify or terminate a Service
or add an additional service shall be implemented by an amendment to
this Agreement or its Exhibits, as applicable, in accordance with
Section 7.10 hereof.

-5-

2.2 Performance of Services

	 	(a)	 	A Service Provider shall perform Services with the same degree of care,
skill and prudence customarily exercised by it for its own operations. In
the event a Service Provider changes the degree of care, skill and
prudence customarily exercised for its own operations, the Services
performed by it hereunder may be modified by such Service Provider to meet
its revised internal performance standards for the Services it provides
hereunder.
	 
	 	(b)	 	Each party acknowledges that the Services will be provided with respect
to the business of a Service Receiver and all other members of its Group
as such business exists as of the time of closing of the initial offering
to the public of common shares in the capital stock of the Company or as
otherwise mutually agreed by the parties. Each Service Receiver agrees to
use the Services in accordance with all applicable federal, provincial,
state and local laws, regulations and tariffs and in accordance with
reasonable conditions, rules, regulations and specifications which are or
may be set forth in any manuals, materials, documents or instructions of
the Service Provider. Each Service Provider reserves the right to take
all actions in order to assure the Services provided by it are provided in
accordance with any applicable laws, regulations and tariffs.
	 
	 	(c)	 	Any input or information reasonably required by a Service Provider to
perform Services pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement shall be
provided by the Service Receiver in a manner consistent with the practices
employed by the parties during the year prior to the execution of this
Agreement. Should the failure to provide such input or information render
the performance of the Services impossible or unreasonably difficult, the
Service Provider may, upon written notice to the Service Receiver, refuse
to provide such Services until such input or information is provided. To
the extent reasonably required for the Service Provider’s personnel to
perform the Services, the Service Receiver shall provide the Service
Provider’s personnel with access to its equipment, office space and any
other areas and equipment necessary for the provision of Services;
provided that such access shall not unreasonably interfere with the
Service Receiver’s conduct of its business.
	 
	 	(d)	 	In providing Services, a Service Provider may, as it in its sole
discretion deems necessary or appropriate, (i) use its personnel or that
of other members of its Group, and (ii) employ the services of third
parties to the extent such third party services are routinely utilized to
provide similar services to other Service Provider businesses or are
reasonably necessary for the efficient performance of any Services.
	 
	 	(e)	 	Nothing in this Agreement shall require a Service Provider to favour a
Service Receiver over a business of the Service Provider or those of any
member of its Group.

-6-

2.3 Compensation

      Each Service Provider shall be compensated for the Services rendered by it
under this Agreement as set forth in the applicable Exhibits hereto. Payments
shall be made by the Service Receiver the thirtieth (30th) day of the month
following the month in which such Services are performed either by cheque, wire
transfer, intracompany netting or at such other times or by such other
method(s) agreed to by the parties. The fees and charges to be set out in the
Exhibits will be determined as follows:

	 	(i)	 	charges for Services performed by a third party shall be
based upon the incremental costs charged by such third party to the
applicable Service Provider to perform those Services for the
applicable Service Receiver;
	 
	 	(ii)	 	fees for Services provided by a Service Provider shall be
based upon the estimated or actual costs of providing such Services
to the applicable Service Receiver, which shall include a reasonable
allocation of Service Provider’s direct and indirect overhead costs
(including, without limitation, employee salaries, benefits and
other costs) which Service Provider estimates will be incurred or
which are incurred in connection therewith, plus (unless otherwise
agreed to by the Service Provider), a reasonable margin for profit.
The determination of whether a margin for profit is reasonable shall
be, to the extent practicable, based on the price an unaffiliated
third party service provider would charge for the Services; and such
other charges, fees, or commissions for Services provided shall be
based on the methodology as set forth in the Exhibit or Exhibits for
such Services.

action to prevent the disclosure as it deems reasonable,
appropriate or necessary; or
	 
	 	(iv)	 	the parties have mutually agreed may be
disclosed.
	 

	 	(d)	 	This Section 3.1 shall survive any termination of this
