<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt">Item&nbsp;6. <U>Indemnification of Directors and Officers</U>
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Under Section&nbsp;145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, the Registrant has broad powers to
indemnify its directors and officers against liabilities they may incur in such capacities,
including liabilities under the Securities Act. The Registrant&#146;s Amended and Restated Certificate
of Incorporation and Amended and Restated Bylaws require the Registrant to indemnify, to the full
extent permitted by law, any person who is or was a party, or is threatened to be made a party to
any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal,
administrative or investigative (including, without limitation, any action by or in the right of
the Registrant) by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a director or officer of the
Registrant against any liability or expense actually or reasonably incurred in respect thereof.
The Registrant&#146;s Amended and Restated Bylaws also require the Registrant to advance litigation
expenses (including in the case of stockholder derivative actions or other actions) against an
undertaking by the officer or director to repay such advances if it is ultimately determined that
the officer or director is not entitled to indemnification. The Amended and Restated Certificate
of Incorporation and Amended and Restated Bylaws further provide that rights conferred under such
Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and Amended and Restated Bylaws shall not be
deemed to be exclusive of any other right such persons may have or acquire under law or otherwise.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In addition, the Registrant&#146;s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation provides that,
to the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law, the Registrant&#146;s directors
shall have no personal liability to the Registrant or its stockholders for monetary damages for
breach of the directors&#146; fiduciary duty. Each director will continue to be subject to liability
for breach of the director&#146;s duty of loyalty to the Registrant, or acts or omissions not in good
faith or involving intentional misconduct, for knowing violations of law, for actions leading to
improper personal benefit to the director, and for payment of dividends or approval of stock
repurchases or redemptions that are unlawful under Delaware law. The provision also does not
affect a director&#146;s responsibilities under any other law, such as the federal securities laws or
state or federal environmental laws.
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Registrant currently has a policy providing directors and officers&#146; liability insurance
with insured directors and officers of the Registrant in certain circumstances.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;A.&nbsp;The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes: (1)&nbsp;to file, during any period in which
offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement (i)&nbsp;to
include any prospectus required by Section&nbsp;10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933 Act, as amended
(the &#147;1933 Act&#148;), (ii)&nbsp;to reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective
date of this Registration Statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which,
individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in
this Registration Statement and (iii)&nbsp;to include any material information with respect to the plan
of distribution not previously disclosed in this Registration Statement or any material change to
such information in this Registration Statement; provided, however, that clauses (1)(i) and (1)(ii)
shall not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those
clauses is contained in periodic reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the
Registrant pursuant to Section&nbsp;13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by
reference into this Registration Statement; (2)&nbsp;that for the purpose of determining any liability
under the 1933 Act each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration
statement relating to the securities offered therein and the offering of such securities at that
time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof; and (3)&nbsp;to remove from
registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which
remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;B.&nbsp;The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any
liability under the 1933 Act, each filing of the Registrant&#146;s annual report pursuant to Section
13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that is incorporated by reference into this Registration
Statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered
therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona
fide offering thereof.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;C.&nbsp;Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the 1933 Act may be permitted to
directors, officers, or controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the indemnification
provisions summarized in Item&nbsp;6 or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that, in the opinion
of the Commission, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the 1933 Act, and
is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such
liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director,
officer, or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit, or
proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer, or controlling person in connection with the
securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter
has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the
question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the 1933 Act
and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

The securities to be registered include options and other rights to acquire Common Stock ($.01 par value) issuable pursuant to the applicable plan. Pursuant to the
Agreement and Plan of Merger by and among TD AMERITRADE Holding Corporation, thinkorswim Group Inc. and certain other entities, the Registrant assumed all of the outstanding
options and other rights to acquire thinkorswim Group Inc. common stock and as a result of such assumption, such stock options and other rights now reflect the right to acquire
shares of Registrant's Common Stock, subject to appropriate adjustments to the number of shares and, if applicable, the exercise price of each such stock option.
(2)
Pursuant to Rule 416(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), this Registration Statement shall also cover any additional shares of the
Registrant's Common Stock that become issuable under the applicable plans by reason of any stock dividend, stock split, recapitalization or other similar transaction affected
without the receipt of consideration that increases the number of the Registrant's outstanding shares of Common Stock.
(3)
Estimated in accordance with Rules 457(c) and (h) under the Securities Act, solely for the purpose of computing the amount of the registration fee, based upon the
weighted average exercise price of the outstanding stock options as of June 16, 2009, the date such stock options were assumed by the Registrant.
(4)
Estimated in accordance with Rules 457(c) and (h) under the Securities Act, solely for the purpose of computing the amount of the registration fee, based upon the average
of the high and low sales price of a share of the Registrant's Common Stock as reported by the Nasdaq Global Select Stock Market on June 16, 2009.

of Incorporation and Amended and Restated Bylaws require the Registrant to indemnify, to the full
extent permitted by law, any person who is or was a party, or is threatened to be made a party to
any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal,
administrative or investigative (including, without limitation, any action by or in the right of
the Registrant) by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a director or officer of the
Registrant against any liability or expense actually or reasonably incurred in respect thereof.
The Registrant's Amended and Restated Bylaws also require the Registrant to advance litigation
expenses (including in the case of stockholder derivative actions or other actions) against an
undertaking by the officer or director to repay such advances if it is ultimately determined that
the officer or director is not entitled to indemnification. The Amended and Restated Certificate
of Incorporation and Amended and Restated Bylaws further provide that rights conferred under such
Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and Amended and Restated Bylaws shall not be
deemed to be exclusive of any other right such persons may have or acquire under law or otherwise.
In addition, the Registrant's Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation provides that,
to the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law, the Registrant's directors
shall have no personal liability to the Registrant or its stockholders for monetary damages for
breach of the directors' fiduciary duty. Each director will continue to be subject to liability
for breach of the director's duty of loyalty to the Registrant, or acts or omissions not in good
faith or involving intentional misconduct, for knowing violations of law, for actions leading to
improper personal benefit to the director, and for payment of dividends or approval of stock
repurchases or redemptions that are unlawful under Delaware law. The provision also does not
affect a director's responsibilities under any other law, such as the federal securities laws or
state or federal environmental laws.
The Registrant currently has a policy providing directors and officers' liability insurance
with insured directors and officers of the Registrant in certain circumstances.

Undertakings
.
A. The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes: (1) to file, during any period in which
offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement (i) to
include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933 Act, as amended
(the "1933 Act"), (ii) to reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective
date of this Registration Statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which,
individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in
this Registration Statement and (iii) to include any material information with respect to the plan
of distribution not previously disclosed in this Registration Statement or any material change to
such information in this Registration Statement; provided, however, that clauses (1)(i) and (1)(ii)
shall not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those
clauses is contained in periodic reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the
Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by
reference into this Registration Statement; (2) that for the purpose of determining any liability
under the 1933 Act each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration
statement relating to the securities offered therein and the offering of such securities at that
time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof; and (3) to remove from
registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which
remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
B. The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any
liability under the 1933 Act, each filing of the Registrant's annual report pursuant to Section
13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that is incorporated by reference into this Registration
Statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered
therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona
fide offering thereof.
C. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the 1933 Act may be permitted to
directors, officers, or controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the indemnification
provisions summarized in Item 6 or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that, in the opinion
of the Commission, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the 1933 Act, and
is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such
liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director,
officer, or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit, or
proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer, or controlling person in connection with the
securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter
has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the
question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the 1933 Act
and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
