encourage persons seeking to acquire control of us to first negotiate with the
Board, which we believe may result in an improvement of the terms of any such
acquisition in favor of our stockholders. However, they also give the Board the
power to discourage acquisitions that some stockholders or holders of bonus
credits may favor.</font></p>

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.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Our certificate of incorporation and bylaws generally provide that we
will indemnify our directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by
law. We and our subsidiary LPL Holdings,&nbsp;Inc. have also entered into
indemnification agreements with certain of our directors and officers. Such
agreements generally provide for indemnification by reason of being our
director or officer, as the case may be. These agreements are in addition to
the indemnification provided by our and LPL Holdings,&nbsp;Inc. charters and
bylaws.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">We 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&nbsp;145(g)&nbsp;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, officer, employee or agent of the
corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a
director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint
venture, trust or other enterprise 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.</font></p>

persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise,
the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Commission 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.</font></p>

Item 4.   Description of Securities.
General
Under
our charter, we currently have authority to
issue up to 200,000,000 shares of capital stock, of which all shares shall be
shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share.  As of  June 1, 2008, we had 86,475,343.90 shares of
common stock outstanding, held by 71 holders. 
Additionally, as of June 1, 2008 we have granted options to acquire 22,907,750
shares of common stock to approximately 257 of our employees and bonus credits
in respect of another 7,449,030 shares of our common stock to approximately 1,072
registered representatives.
Holders of our common stock are entitled to
one vote for each share held on all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders
and do not have cumulative voting rights. 
An election of directors by our stockholders shall be determined by a
plurality of the votes cast by the stockholders entitled to vote on the
election. Holders of common stock are entitled to receive proportionately any
dividends as may be declared by our board of directors (the "Board"), subject
to any preferential dividend rights of any series of preferred stock that is
outstanding at the time of the dividend.
In the event of
our liquidation or dissolution, the holders of
common stock are entitled to receive proportionately our net assets available
for distribution to stockholders after payment of all debts and other
liabilities
2
and
subject to the prior rights of any outstanding preferred stock.
All shares of common stock will, when issued,
be duly authorized, fully paid and nonassessable. The rights, preferences and
privileges of holders of common stock are subject to the rights of the holders
of shares of any series of preferred stock that the Company may designate and
issue in the future.
Stockholders' Agreement
On December 28,
2005, we, the investment funds affiliated with TPG Partners IV, L.P., and
Hellman & Friedman Capital Partners V, L.P. (the "Majority Holders"),
the founders and those executives who entered into employment agreements
entered into a stockholders' agreement that contains the following provisions
among others:
·
a right to designate a certain number of
directors to the Board and the board of directors of our subsidiaries. Of the
current eight members of each of the boards, the Majority Holders initially had
the right to designate four of the directors. The Majority Holders also have
the right to designate one independent director after consultation with our
chief executive officer, if the selection is reasonably acceptable to the
Founders. The other four members of the boards are our chief executive officer,
James Putnam, James Riepe and Jeffrey Stiefler;
·
certain limitations on transfers of
common stock by the founders and those executives entering into employment
agreements. prior to the earlier to occur of (i) subject to a customary
right of first refusal, December 28, 2009 and (ii) the occurrence of
an initial public offering;
·
the ability of the founders and our
executives who enter into employment agreements to "tag-along" their shares of
common stock to sales by the Majority Holders on a pro-rata basis (the founders'
"tag-along" right provides for the ability to "tag-along" a number of shares
equal to two times their pro-rata share of the shares being sold);
·
the ability of the Majority Holders to "drag-along"
common stock held by the founders and our executives who enter into employment
agreements under certain circumstances;
·
customary demand registration rights for
the founders and piggyback registration rights for the founders and those
executives entering into employment agreements (the founders' piggyback
registration right provides for the ability to register a number of shares
equal to two times their pro-rata share of all of the shares being registered);
·
the restriction on our company to, prior
to an initial public offering, enter into any transaction with, or for the
benefit of, any of its affiliates involving an aggregate consideration in
excess of $2 million, unless approved by a majority of the independent members
of the Board;
·
restrictions on dividends, redemptions
and repurchases with respect to common stock prior to an initial public
offering subject to certain exceptions; and
·
a preemptive right of the founders and
those executives who enter into employment agreements to purchase a pro-rata
portion of any new securities we offer.
Anti-takeover
Effects of the Delaware General Corporation Law and our Certificate of
Incorporation and Bylaws
Our certificate of
incorporation and our bylaws contain provisions that may delay, defer or
discourage another party from acquiring control of us. We expect that these
provisions, which are summarized below, will discourage coercive takeover
practices or inadequate takeover bids. These provisions are also designed to
encourage persons seeking to acquire control of us to first negotiate with the
Board, which we believe may result in an improvement of the terms of any such
acquisition in favor of our stockholders. However, they also give the Board the
power to discourage acquisitions that some stockholders or holders of bonus
credits may favor.
3
Board of Directors
Our bylaws provide that
the number of directors will be fixed from time to time solely pursuant to a
resolution adopted by the whole Board. The Board currently has eight members.
Requirements for Stockholder
Meetings and Interim Election of Directors
Our bylaws provide that
special meetings of the stockholders may be called only upon the request of the
chairman of the Board or by the Board pursuant to a resolution adopted by a
majority of the "whole board" (as defined in our bylaws). Our bylaws prohibit
the conduct of any business at a special meeting other than as specified in the
notice for such meeting.
Vacancies and newly
created directorships may be filled only by a vote of a majority of the
directors then in office, even though less than a quorum, and not by the
stockholders. Our bylaws allow the presiding officer at a meeting of the
stockholders to adopt rules and regulations for the conduct of meetings
which may have the effect of precluding the conduct of certain business at a
meeting if the rules and regulations are not followed.
These provisions may have
the effect of deferring, delaying or discouraging hostile takeovers, or changes
in control or management of our company.
Business Combinations under
Delaware Law
Section 203 of the
Delaware General Corporation Law ("DGCL") does not apply to our company because
we do not have a class of stock that is listed on a national securities
exchange, authorized for quotation on The NASDAQ Stock Market or held of record
by more than 2,000 stockholders. Section 203 of the DGCL prohibits a
publicly held Delaware corporation from engaging in a "business combination"
with an "interested stockholder" for a period of three years after the time the
stockholder became an interested stockholder, subject to certain exceptions,
including if, prior to such time, the Board approved the business combination
or the transaction which resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested
stockholder. "Business combinations" include mergers, asset sales and other
transactions resulting in a financial benefit to the "interested stockholder."
Subject to various exceptions, an "interested stockholder" is a person who,
together with his or her affiliates and associates, owns, or within three years
did own, 15% or more of the corporation's outstanding voting stock.
Item 5.
Interests of Named Experts and
Counsel.
Not applicable.
Item 6.
Indemnification of Directors and Officers
Section 102(b)(7) of
the 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. Our 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 officer
or director 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.
4
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, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving
at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of
another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise
against expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred
by the 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.
Our certificate of incorporation and bylaws generally provide that we
will indemnify our directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by
law. We and our subsidiary LPL Holdings, Inc. have also entered into
indemnification agreements with certain of our directors and officers. Such
agreements generally provide for indemnification by reason of being our
director or officer, as the case may be. These agreements are in addition to
the indemnification provided by our and LPL Holdings, Inc. charters and
bylaws.
We 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

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
Commission 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 (15
U.S.C. 78m or 78o(d)) 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
6
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) 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 Commission 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.
