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


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Section&nbsp;102(b)(7) of the Delaware General Corporation Law (&#147;DGCL&#148;) enables a corporation in
its original certificates of incorporation or an amendment thereto to eliminate or limit the
personal liability of a director for violations of the director&#146;s fiduciary duty, except (i)&nbsp;for
any breach of the director&#146;s duty of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders, (ii)&nbsp;for acts
or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of
law, (iii)&nbsp;for liability of directors for unlawful payment of dividends or unlawful stock purchase
or redemptions pursuant to Section&nbsp;174 of the DGCL or (iv)&nbsp;for any transaction from which a
director derived an improper personal benefit. The Registrant&#146;s certificate of incorporation
includes a provision that eliminates the personal liability of directors for monetary damages for
actions taken as a director to the fullest extent authorized by the DGCL.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Section&nbsp;145(a) of the DGCL provides in relevant part that a corporation may indemnify any
person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or
completed action, suit or proceeding (other than an action by or in the right of the corporation)
by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director or officer of the corporation, or is or
was serving at the request of the corporation as a director or officer of another entity, against
expenses (including attorneys&#146; fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and
reasonably incurred by such person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if such
person acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed
to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding,
had no reasonable cause to believe such person&#146;s conduct was unlawful. The termination of any
action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction or upon a plea of <I>nolo
contendere </I>or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a presumption that such person did not
act in good faith and in a manner which such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to
the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had
reasonable cause to believe that such person&#146;s conduct was lawful.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Section&nbsp;145(b) of the DGCL provides in relevant part that a corporation may indemnify any
person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or
completed action or suit by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor
by reason of the fact that the person is or was a director or officer of the corporation, or is or
was serving at the request of the corporation as a director or officer of another entity, against
expenses (including attorneys&#146; fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection
with the defense or settlement of such action or suit if the person acted in good faith and in a
manner the person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the
corporation and except that no indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or
matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the corporation unless and
only to the extent that the Court of Chancery or the court in which such action or suit was brought
shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the
circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such
expenses which the Court of Chancery or such other court shall deem proper.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Registrant&#146;s certificate of incorporation generally provides that Registrant will
indemnify its directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by law. Registrant&#146;s
certificate of incorporation also provides that the indemnification and advancement of expenses
provided by, or granted pursuant to the certificate of incorporation are not exclusive of any other
rights to which those seeking indemnification or advancement of expenses may be entitled under any
bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders or otherwise. Section 145(f) of the DGCL further provides
that a right to indemnification or to advancement of expenses arising under a provision of the
certificate of incorporation shall not be eliminated or impaired by an amendment to such provision
after the occurrence of the act or omission which is the subject of the civil, criminal,
administrative or investigation action, suit or proceeding for which indemnification or advancement
of expenses is sought.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Registrant has also entered into indemnification agreements with certain of its directors
and officers. Such agreements generally provide for indemnification by reason of being a director
or officer of Registrant, as the case may be. These agreements are in addition to the
indemnification provided by Registrant&#146;s charters and bylaws.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Registrant has also obtained officers&#146; and directors&#146; liability insurance which insures
against liabilities that officers and directors of the Registrant may, in such capacities, incur.
Section 145(g) of the DGCL provides that a corporation shall have power to purchase and maintain
insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director or officer of the corporation, or is or
was serving at the request of the corporation as a director or officer of another entity, against
any liability asserted against such person and incurred by such person in any such capacity, or
arising out of such person&#146;s status as such, whether or not the corporation would have the power to
indemnify such person against such liability under that section.

    <TD>Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may
be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant
to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the
opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the
Securities 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 Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.</TD>

PART II
INFORMATION REQUIRED IN THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT
Item 3. Incorporation of Documents by Reference.
We incorporate by reference herein the following documents filed by LPL Investment Holdings
Inc. (the "Registrant") with the SEC:
(a)
the Registrant's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the
fiscal year ended December 31, 2010, filed with the SEC on March 9,
2011;
(b)
the Registrant's Current Reports on Form 8-K, filed with
the SEC on February 7, 2011 and March 14, 2011; and
(c)
the description of the Registrant's Common Stock, $0.001 par value per share,
which is contained in the Registrant's registration statement on Form 8-A filed by the
Registrant with the SEC under Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended (the "Exchange Act"), on November 12, 2010, including any amendments or reports
filed for the purpose of updating such description.
All documents subsequently filed by the Registrant pursuant to Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14 and
15(d) of the Exchange Act, prior to the filing of a post-effective amendment to this Registration
Statement that indicates that all securities offered have been sold or which deregisters all
securities then remaining unsold, shall be deemed to be incorporated herein by reference from the
date of filing of such documents. Any statement contained herein or in a document incorporated or
deemed to be incorporated by reference herein shall be deemed to be modified or superseded for
purposes of this Registration Statement to the extent that a statement contained herein or in any
subsequently filed document which also is incorporated or is deemed to be incorporated by reference
herein modifies or supersedes such earlier statement. Any statement so modified or superseded
shall not be deemed, except as so modified or superseded, to constitute part of this Registration
Statement.
Item 4. Description of Securities.
Not applicable.
Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.
Not applicable.
Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
Section 102(b)(7) of the Delaware General Corporation Law ("DGCL") enables a corporation in
its original certificates of incorporation or an amendment thereto to eliminate or limit the
personal liability of a director for violations of the director's fiduciary duty, except (i) for
any breach of the director's duty of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders, (ii) for acts
or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of
law, (iii) for liability of directors for unlawful payment of dividends or unlawful stock purchase
or redemptions pursuant to Section 174 of the DGCL or (iv) for any transaction from which a
director derived an improper personal benefit. The Registrant's certificate of incorporation
includes a provision that eliminates the personal liability of directors for monetary damages for
actions taken as a director to the fullest extent authorized by the DGCL.
Section 145(a) of the DGCL provides in relevant part that a corporation may indemnify any
person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or
completed action, suit or proceeding (other than an action by or in the right of the corporation)
by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director or officer of the corporation, or is or
was serving at the request of the corporation as a director or officer of another entity, against
expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and
reasonably incurred by such person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if such
person acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed
to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding,
had no reasonable cause to believe such person's conduct was unlawful. The termination of any
action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction or upon a plea of
nolo
contendere
or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a presumption that such person did not
act in good faith and in a manner which such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to
the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had
reasonable cause to believe that such person's conduct was lawful.
Section 145(b) of the DGCL provides in relevant part that a corporation may indemnify any
person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or
completed action or suit by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor
by reason of the fact that the person is or was a director or officer of the corporation, or is or
was serving at the request of the corporation as a director or officer of another entity, against
expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection
with the defense or settlement of such action or suit if the person acted in good faith and in a
manner the person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the
corporation and except that no indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or
matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the corporation unless and
only to the extent that the Court of Chancery or the court in which such action or suit was brought
shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the
circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such
expenses which the Court of Chancery or such other court shall deem proper.
Registrant's certificate of incorporation generally provides that Registrant will
indemnify its directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by law. Registrant's
certificate of incorporation also provides that the indemnification and advancement of expenses
provided by, or granted pursuant to the certificate of incorporation are not exclusive of any other
rights to which those seeking indemnification or advancement of expenses may be entitled under any
bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders or otherwise. Section 145(f) of the DGCL further provides
that a right to indemnification or to advancement of expenses arising under a provision of the
certificate of incorporation shall not be eliminated or impaired by an amendment to such provision
after the occurrence of the act or omission which is the subject of the civil, criminal,
administrative or investigation action, suit or proceeding for which indemnification or advancement
of expenses is sought.
-2-
Registrant has also entered into indemnification agreements with certain of its directors
and officers. Such agreements generally provide for indemnification by reason of being a director
or officer of Registrant, as the case may be. These agreements are in addition to the
indemnification provided by Registrant's charters and bylaws.
Registrant has also obtained officers' and directors' liability insurance which insures
against liabilities that officers and directors of the Registrant may, in such capacities, incur.
Section 145(g) of the DGCL provides that a corporation shall have power to purchase and maintain
insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director or officer of the corporation, or is or
was serving at the request of the corporation as a director or officer of another entity, against
any liability asserted against such person and incurred by such person in any such capacity, or
arising out of such person's status as such, whether or not the corporation would have the power to
indemnify such person against such liability under that section.

Item 9. 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;
(ii)
To reflect in the prospectus any facts or
events arising after the effective date of the 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 the Registration Statement. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered
(if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that
which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the
estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of a
prospectus filed with the SEC pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the
aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20
percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the
"Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective Registration
Statement;
(iii)
To include any material information with
respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the
Registration Statement or any material change to such information in
the Registration Statement;
provided, however
, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) above
shall not apply if the information required to be included in a
post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports
filed with or furnished to the Commission by the Registrant pursuant
to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by
reference in the Registration Statement.
(2)
That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the
Securities 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.
(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 Securities Act, each filing of the Registrant's annual report
pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d)
-4-
of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each
filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the
Exchange Act) that is incorporated by reference in the 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 Securities Act may
be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant
to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the
opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the
Securities 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 Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
