Section 2.8. Effect on Capital Stock. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Acquisition Merger and without any action on the part of TD, Banknorth Delaware, Berlin Mergerco or the holders of any of the following securities:

(a) Subject to Section 2.9(g), each share of Banknorth Delaware Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time after giving effect to the Migratory Merger (other than any shares of Banknorth Delaware Common Stock to be canceled pursuant to Section 2.8(c)) shall be converted into the following (together, the “Merger Consideration”):

(i) the right to receive (x) 0.2351 (the “TD Exchange Ratio”) fully paid and nonassessable common shares, without par value, of TD (“TD Common Shares”) (the “TD Stock Consideration”) and (y) $12.24 in cash (the “Cash Consideration” and, together with the TD Stock Consideration, the “TD Consideration”); and

(ii) the right to receive 0.49 fully paid and non-assessable shares of Banknorth Delaware Common Stock (the “Banknorth Delaware Consideration”).

(b) All of the shares of common stock, par value $.01 per share, of Berlin Mergerco (the “Berlin Mergerco Common Stock”), collectively, issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into (i) the number of shares of Banknorth Delaware Common Stock equal to the product of (x) the number of shares of Banknorth Delaware Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior the Effective Time, after giving effect to the Migratory Merger, multiplied by (y) 0.51 and (ii) one share of Class B Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Company (the “Class B Common Stock”).

(c) Each share of Banknorth Delaware Common Stock owned by Banknorth Delaware or TD (other than, in each case, shares in trust accounts, managed accounts and the like for the benefit of customers or shares held in satisfaction of a debt previously contracted), in each case immediately prior to the Effective Time, shall be cancelled and retired and shall cease to exist, without payment of any consideration therefor, and no Merger Consideration or other consideration shall be delivered in exchange therefor.

- 4 -

(d) If at any time between the date of this Agreement and the Effective Time, TD shall pay a dividend in, subdivide, combine into a smaller number of shares or issue by reclassification of its shares, the TD Common Shares, the TD Exchange Ratio shall be multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of TD Common Shares outstanding immediately after, and the denominator of which shall be the number of such shares outstanding immediately before, the occurrence of such event, and the resulting product shall from and after the date of such event be the TD Exchange Ratio, subject to further adjustment in accordance with this sentence.

(e) The parties agree that promptly following the date hereof they will explore in good faith the possible alternative of allocating the Merger Consideration on a per shareholder basis rather than the per share basis currently set forth in Section 2.8(a).

Section 2.9. Surrender of Shares. (a) TD shall appoint an agent (the “Exchange Agent”) for the purpose of exchanging certificates that immediately prior to the Migratory Merger Effective Time represented shares of Banknorth Common Stock (“Certificates”) and delivering the Merger Consideration, as described below.

(b) At or prior to the Effective Time, (i) TD shall deposit, or shall cause to be deposited, with the Exchange Agent (A) an estimated amount of cash sufficient to pay the Cash Consideration and any cash that may be payable in lieu of any fractional shares pursuant to Section 2.9(g) and (B) certificates representing the TD Common Shares issuable in accordance with the terms of Section 2.8(a)(i) in exchange for shares of Banknorth Delaware Common Stock, and (ii) Banknorth Delaware shall deposit, or cause to be deposited, with the Exchange Agent certificates representing the Banknorth Delaware Consideration. The Exchange Agent shall invest such deposited cash as directed by TD; provided that such investments shall be in obligations of or guaranteed by the United States of America, in commercial paper obligations rated A-1 or P-1 or better by Xxxxx’x Investors Service, Inc. or Standard & Poor’s Corporation, respectively, or in certificates of deposit, bank repurchase agreements or banker’s acceptances of commercial banks with capital exceeding $500 million. Any net profit resulting from, or interest or income produced by, such investments will be payable to TD.

(c) As soon as reasonably practicable after the Effective Time, and in no event more than five Business Days thereafter, the Exchange Agent shall mail to each holder of record of Certificates a form of letter of transmittal (which shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Certificates shall pass, only upon delivery of the Certificates to the Exchange Agent and have such other provisions as TD and Banknorth shall reasonably specify) and instructions for use in effecting the surrender of the Certificates in exchange for payment of the Merger Consideration therefor. Upon proper surrender of a Certificate for exchange and cancellation to the Exchange Agent, together with a letter of transmittal, duly completed and validly executed in accordance with the instructions thereto, and such other documents as may be required pursuant to such instructions, the holder of such Certificate shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor the Merger Consideration for each share formerly represented by such Certificate and such Certificate so surrendered shall forthwith be cancelled; provided, however, that the holders of such Certificates shall be permitted to specifically identify on such letter of transmittal those shares of Banknorth Delaware Common Stock that are to be converted into the TD Consideration and those shares of Banknorth Delaware Common Stock

- 5 -

that are to be converted into the Banknorth Delaware Consideration. No interest will be paid or accrued for the benefit of holders of the Certificates on the Merger Consideration payable upon the surrender of the Certificates. Until so surrendered, each such Certificate, following the Effective Time, shall represent for all purposes only the right to receive the Merger Consideration.

(d) No dividends or other distributions with respect to Banknorth Delaware Common Stock or TD Common Shares with a record date after the Effective Time shall be paid to the holder of any unsurrendered Certificate with respect to shares of Banknorth Delaware Common Stock or TD Common Shares, as applicable, that such holder would be entitled to receive upon surrender of such Certificate and no cash payment in lieu of fractional shares shall be paid to any such holder pursuant to Section 2.9(g) until such holder shall surrender such Certificate in accordance with this Article II. After the surrender of a Certificate in accordance with this Article II, such holder thereof entitled to receive Banknorth Delaware Common Stock or TD Common Shares shall be entitled to receive any such dividends or other distributions, without any interest thereon, with a record date after the Effective Time and which theretofore had become payable with respect to whole shares of Banknorth Delaware Common Stock or TD Common Shares, as applicable, that such holder is entitled to receive pursuant to Section 2.8(a).

(e) If the payment of the Merger Consideration is to be made to a person other than the registered holder of the Certificate surrendered in exchange therefor, it shall be a condition of payment that the Certificate so surrendered shall be properly endorsed (or accompanied by an appropriate instrument of transfer) and otherwise in proper form for transfer, and that the person requesting such payment shall pay to the Exchange Agent in advance any applicable stock transfer or other Taxes or shall establish to the reasonable satisfaction of the Exchange Agent that such Taxes have been paid or are not payable.

(f) At and after the Migratory Merger Effective Time, no further transfers of shares of Banknorth Common Stock that were issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Migratory Merger Effective Time shall be recorded on the stock transfer books of Banknorth or Banknorth Delaware. If, after the Effective Time, Certificates are presented for transfer to the Exchange Agent, they shall be cancelled and exchanged for the Merger Consideration as provided in this Article II.

(g) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, neither certificates nor scrip for fractional Banknorth Delaware Common Stock or TD Common Shares shall be issued in the Acquisition Merger. Each holder of Banknorth Delaware Common Stock who otherwise would have been entitled to a fraction of a share of Banknorth Delaware Common Stock or a fraction of a TD Common Share, as the case may be, shall receive in lieu thereof cash (without interest) in an amount determined by multiplying the fractional share interest to which such holder would otherwise be entitled (after taking into account all shares of Banknorth Delaware Common Stock owned by such holder immediately prior to the Effective Time and converted into the Banknorth Delaware Consideration or the TD Consideration, as applicable) by (i) in the case of a fractional interest in a share of Banknorth Delaware Common Stock, the Banknorth Closing Average Price or (ii) in the case of a fractional interest in a TD Common Share, the TD Weighted Average Share Price. The “Banknorth Closing Average Share Price” shall mean the average of the closing sale prices for the Banknorth Delaware Common Stock on

- 6 -

the New York Stock Exchange, based on information reported in The Wall Street Journal, for the five trading days immediately following the Closing Date. The “TD Weighted Average Share Price” shall mean the average of the daily weighted average prices for the TD Common Shares on the Toronto Stock Exchange, based on the trading data reported in The Toronto Stock Exchange Daily Record, for the five trading days ending on the second trading day prior to the Closing Date (rounded to the nearest one-thousandth and converted into United States dollars using the spot exchange rate reported in The Wall Street Journal (or such other publication as may be mutually agreed to by TD and Banknorth) on the next Business Day (such conversion rate, the “Conversion Rate”)). No such holder shall be entitled to dividends, voting rights or any other rights in respect of any fractional share of Banknorth Delaware Common Stock or any fractional TD Common Share.

(h) At any time following the date which is twelve months after the Effective Time, TD shall be entitled to require the Exchange Agent to deliver to it any TD Common Shares or funds (including any interest received with respect thereto) which have been made available to the Exchange Agent and which have not been disbursed to holders of Certificates and thereafter such holders shall be entitled to look to TD and the Surviving Corporation (subject to abandoned property, escheat or other similar laws) only as general creditors thereof with respect to the applicable Merger Consideration (and any unpaid dividends or distributions with respect to TD Common Shares or Banknorth Delaware Common Stock, as the case may be) payable upon due surrender of their Certificates. TD and the Surviving Corporation shall share equally all charges and expenses, including those of the Exchange Agent, in connection with the exchange of shares of Banknorth Delaware Common Stock for the Merger Consideration.

(i) In the event any Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the person claiming such Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed and, if required by TD, the posting by such person of a bond in such amount as TD may determine is reasonably necessary as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it with respect to such Certificate, the Exchange Agent will issue in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate the Merger Consideration deliverable in respect thereof pursuant to this Agreement.

(j) TD or the Exchange Agent will be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement to any holder of Banknorth Delaware Common Stock such amounts as TD or the Exchange Agent are required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under the Code, or any applicable provision of any other U.S. federal, state, local or non-U.S. tax law. To the extent that such amounts are properly withheld by TD or the Exchange Agent, such withheld amounts will be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the holder of the Banknorth Delaware Common Stock in respect of whom such deduction and withholding were made by TD or the Exchange Agent.

(k) Upon the delivery of the certificates that immediately prior to the Acquisition Merger represented shares of Berlin Mergerco Common Stock, duly endorsed in blank or otherwise in form acceptable for transfer on the books of Banknorth Delaware, Banknorth Delaware shall deliver to TD in exchange therefor the number of shares of Banknorth Delaware

- 7 -

Common Stock and the share of Class B Common Stock to which TD is entitled pursuant to Section 2.8(b).

Section 2.10. Treatment of Equity-Based Compensation. (a) At the Migratory Merger Effective Time, each option granted by Banknorth to purchase shares of Banknorth Common Stock (each, a “Banknorth Option”) which is outstanding and unexercised immediately prior thereto, whether vested or unvested, shall cease to represent a right to acquire shares of Banknorth Common Stock and shall be converted into an option to acquire, on the same terms and conditions as were applicable under the Banknorth Option, the number of shares of Banknorth Delaware Common Stock equal to the number of shares of Banknorth Common Stock subject to such Banknorth Option, at the per share exercise price specified in such Banknorth Option; provided, however, that in the case of any Banknorth Option to which Section 421 of the Code applies by reason of its qualification under Section 422 of the Code, the option price, the number of shares subject to such option and the terms and conditions of exercise of such option shall be determined in a manner consistent with the requirements of Section 424(a) of the Code.

(b) At the Migratory Merger Effective Time, each stock account under the Banknorth deferred compensation plan shall cease to represent shares of Banknorth Common Stock and shall represent the number of shares of Banknorth Delaware Common Stock equal to the number of shares of Banknorth Common Stock subject to such stock account.

ARTICLE III

Section 4.5. Public Documents; Other Reports.

(a) TD has filed all required reports, schedules, registration statements and other documents, together with amendments thereto, with the SEC and Canadian securities regulatory authorities since December 31, 2000 (the “TD Reports”). As of their respective dates of filing (or, if amended or superseded by a subsequent filing prior to the date hereof, as of the date of such subsequent filing), the TD Reports filed on or prior to the date of this Agreement complied, and each TD Report filed subsequent to the date hereof will comply, in all material respects with the applicable requirements of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, the Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Act, and applicable Canadian securities laws, as the case may be, and none of the TD Reports when filed contained or will contain, as the case may be, any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted or will omit, as the case may be, to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. Except as set forth in Section 4.5(a) of the TD Disclosure Schedule, there are no outstanding comments from or unresolved issues raised by the SEC or any Canadian securities regulatory authority, as the case may be, with respect to any of the TD Reports. None of TD’s Subsidiaries is required to file periodic reports with the SEC pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act. No executive officer of TD has failed in any respect to make the certifications required of him or her under Sections 302 or 906 of the Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Act and no enforcement action has been initiated against TD by the SEC relating to disclosures contained in any TD Report.

(b) TD and each of its Subsidiaries have timely filed all reports, registrations and statements, together with any amendments required to be made with respect thereto, that they were required to file since December 31, 2000 with any Governmental Entity (other than the SEC and Canadian securities regulatory authorities) and have paid all fees and assessments due and payable in connection therewith.

TD (A) has designed disclosure controls and procedures (within the meaning of Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act) to ensure that material information relating to TD and its Subsidiaries is made known to the management of TD by others within those entities as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure and to make the certifications required by the Exchange Act with respect to the TD Reports, and (B) has disclosed, based on its most recent evaluation prior to the date hereof, to TD’s auditors and the audit committee of TD’s Board of Directors (1) any significant deficiencies in the design or operation of internal controls which could adversely affect in any material respect TD’s ability to record, process, summarize and report financial data and have identified for TD’s auditors any material weaknesses in internal controls and (2) any fraud, whether or not material, that involves management or other employees who have a significant role in TD’s internal controls. TD has made available to Banknorth a summary of any such disclosure made by management to TD’s auditors and audit committee since January 1, 2002. TD has initiated its process of compliance with Section 404 of the Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Act and expects to be in full compliance therewith by the SEC mandated compliance date.

(a) Banknorth Delaware and TD shall promptly prepare and file with the SEC the Registration Statement (which shall contain therein the Proxy Statement/Prospectus). Each of TD, Banknorth and Banknorth Delaware shall use its reasonable best efforts to have the Registration Statement declared effective under the Securities Act as promptly as practicable after such filing, and thereafter Banknorth shall mail the Proxy Statement/Prospectus to its shareholders. If at any time prior to the Effective Time any information relating to any of the parties, or their respective affiliates, officers or directors, should be discovered by any party which should be set forth in an amendment or supplement to either the Registration Statement or the Proxy Statement/Prospectus so that such documents would not include any misstatement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, the party which discovers such information shall promptly notify the other parties hereto and, to the extent required by law, rules or regulations, an appropriate amendment or supplement describing such information shall be promptly filed with the SEC and disseminated to the shareholders of Banknorth.

(b) Subject to the other provisions of this Agreement, the parties hereto shall cooperate with each other and use their reasonable best efforts to promptly prepare and file all necessary documentation, to effect all applications, notices, petitions and filings, and to obtain as promptly as practicable all permits, consents, approvals and authorizations of all third parties and

- 42 -

Governmental Entities which are necessary or advisable to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (including the Mergers) and to comply with the terms and conditions of all such permits, consents, approvals and authorizations of all such third parties and Governmental Entities. The parties shall promptly inform each other of any material communication from, and shall give the other parties a reasonable opportunity to review in advance any material communication intended to be given by it to, any Governmental Entity regarding any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (other than any confidential portion thereof that relates solely to the party receiving such communication from or providing such communication to such Governmental Entity).

(c) TD and Banknorth shall, upon request, furnish each other with all information concerning themselves, their Subsidiaries, directors, officers and stockholders and such other matters as may be reasonably necessary or advisable in connection with the preparation of the Proxy Statement/Prospectus, the Registration Statement or any other statement, filing, notice or application made by or on behalf of TD, Banknorth or any of their respective Subsidiaries to any Governmental Entity in connection with the Mergers and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

Section 6.2. Access to Information.

(a) Upon reasonable notice and subject to applicable laws relating to the exchange of information, Banknorth shall, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to, afford to the officers, employees, accountants, counsel and other representatives of TD access, during normal business hours during the period prior to the Effective Time, to all its properties, books, contracts, commitments and records, and to its officers, employees, accountants, counsel and other representatives, in each case in a manner not unreasonably disruptive to the operation of the business of Banknorth and its Subsidiaries, and, during such period, Banknorth shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, make available to TD (i) a copy of each report, schedule, registration statement and other document filed or received by it during such period pursuant to the requirements of Federal securities laws or Federal or state banking, mortgage lending, real estate or consumer finance or protection laws (other than reports or documents which Banknorth is not permitted to disclose under applicable law) and (ii) all other information concerning its business, properties and personnel as TD may reasonably request. Neither Banknorth nor any of its Subsidiaries shall be required to provide access to or to disclose information where such access or disclosure would jeopardize the attorney-client privilege of the institution in possession or control of such information or contravene any law, rule or regulation applicable to the institution in possession or control of such information. The parties hereto will make appropriate substitute disclosure arrangements under circumstances in which the restrictions of the preceding sentence apply.

(b) TD agrees that upon reasonable notice and subject to applicable laws relating to the exchange of information, it shall afford Banknorth and its authorized Representatives such access to executive officers and such appropriate information relating to TD and its Subsidiaries as may be reasonably necessary to confirm the accuracy of the representations and warranties of TD herein as Banknorth may reasonably request.

- 43 -

(c) Each of TD and Banknorth shall hold all non-public information furnished by Banknorth or TD, as the case may be, pursuant to Section 6.2(a) or (b) or Section 6.9, or furnished by Banknorth or TD, as the case may be, prior to the date of this Agreement in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby (the “Confidential Information”) in confidence and shall not, without Banknorth’s or TD’s, as the case may be, prior written consent, disclose such Confidential Information to any person or entity, and shall not use such Confidential Information other than in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; provided, however, that TD or Banknorth, as the case may be, may disclose any of such Confidential Information to its affiliates, directors, executives, officers, employees, agents, or legal, financial, accounting or other advisors (collectively, “Representatives”) who need to know such Confidential Information in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and who are advised of the provisions of this Section 6.2(c). Each of TD and Banknorth, as the case may be, shall be responsible for any breach of its obligations under this Section 6.2(c) by its Representatives (it being understood that such responsibility shall be in addition to and not by way of limitation of any right or remedy Banknorth or TD, as the case may be, may have against such Representatives with respect to any such breach). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the term “Confidential Information” shall not include, and the provisions of this Section 6.2(c) shall not apply to, information that (i) is or becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section 6.2(c) by TD or its Representatives or Banknorth or its Representatives, as the case may be; (ii) was within the possession of TD or any of its Representatives or Banknorth or any of its Representatives, as the case may be, prior to its being furnished to TD by or on behalf of Banknorth, or to Banknorth by or on behalf of TD, as the case may be, provided that the source of such information was not known by TD or Banknorth, as the case may be, to be bound by a confidentiality agreement with, or other contractual or legal obligation of confidentiality to, Banknorth or TD, as the case may be, with respect to such information; or (iii) is or becomes available to TD or any of its Representatives or Banknorth or any of its Representatives, as the case may be, on a non-confidential basis from a source other than Banknorth or any of its Representatives, or TD or any of its Representatives, as the case may be; provided that such source was not known to TD or Banknorth, as the case may be, to be bound by a confidentiality agreement with, or other contractual or legal obligation of confidentiality to, Banknorth or TD, as the case may be, with respect to such information; or (iv) is independently developed by or on behalf of TD or Banknorth, as the case may be, without violating any of its respective obligations under this Section 6.2(c). In the event that TD or Banknorth, as the case may be, or anyone to whom it transmits the Confidential Information pursuant to this Section 6.2(c) is requested or required (by oral questions, interrogatories, requests for information or documents in any legal proceeding, subpoena, civil investigative demand or other similar process) to disclose any of the Confidential Information, TD will provide Banknorth or Banknorth will provide TD, as the case may be, with prompt written notice of such requirement (unless prohibited by law or court order from doing so). Each party further agrees that, (i) to the extent practicable, it will consult the other party so that the other party, at the other party’s own expense, may seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy and/or waive compliance with the provisions of this Section 6.2(c) and (ii) if it must disclose any of the Confidential Information pursuant to applicable law or legal process or pursuant to any rule, regulation or disclosure obligation of a securities exchange, securities market or self-regulatory agency on which such party’s securities are then listed or admitted for trading, a bank regulatory authority, the SEC or any applicable Canadian securities regulatory authority, and no injunction

- 44 -

has been granted restraining such disclosure, it may do so without violating this Section 6.2(c) provided that it furnishes only (a) that portion of the Confidential Information which it determines is legally required after consultation with counsel (which may be its internal counsel) and exercises its reasonable efforts (at the other party’s expense) to obtain reliable assurance that the Confidential Information will be treated as confidential or (b) such Confidential Information to which Banknorth or TD, as the case may be, agrees in writing. The provisions of this Section 6.2(c) shall survive any termination of this Agreement and shall survive the Effective Time.

(d) No investigation by TD or its representatives or Banknorth or its representatives, as the case may be, shall constitute a waiver of or otherwise affect the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements of Banknorth or TD, as the case may be, set forth herein.

Section 6.3. Shareholder Approval.

(a) Banknorth shall duly take all lawful action to call, give notice of, convene and hold a meeting of its shareholders as promptly as practicable following the date upon which the Registration Statement becomes effective (the “Banknorth Shareholders Meeting”) for the purpose of obtaining the Required Banknorth Vote and, subject to Section 6.3(b), shall take all lawful action to solicit the approval of this Agreement with respect to the Migratory Merger by such shareholders. The Board of Directors of Banknorth shall recommend approval of this Agreement by the shareholders of Banknorth (the “Banknorth Recommendation”) and shall not (x) withdraw, modify or qualify in any manner adverse to TD such recommendation or (y) take any other action or make any other public statement in connection with the Banknorth Shareholders Meeting inconsistent with such recommendation (collectively, a “Change in Banknorth Recommendation”), except as and to the extent expressly permitted by Section 6.3(b). Notwithstanding any Change in Banknorth Recommendation, this Agreement shall be submitted to the shareholders of Banknorth at the Banknorth Shareholders Meeting for the purpose of approving this Agreement with respect to the Migratory Merger and nothing contained in this Section 6.3 or Section 6.4 shall be deemed to relieve Banknorth of such obligation. In addition to the foregoing, Banknorth shall not submit to the vote of its shareholders any Acquisition Proposal other than the Mergers.

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, prior to obtaining the Required Banknorth Vote, Banknorth and its Board of Directors may effect a Change in Banknorth Recommendation if and only to the extent that:

(i) Banknorth has complied in all material respects with its obligations under Section 6.4,

(ii) its Board of Directors, after consultation with its outside counsel, determines in good faith that failure to take such action would result in a violation of its fiduciary duties under applicable law, and

(iii) it (A) has received an unsolicited bona fide written Acquisition Proposal from a third party which its Board of Directors concludes in good faith constitutes a Superior Proposal (as defined below) after giving effect to all of the

- 45 -

adjustments which may be offered by TD pursuant to clause (C) below, (B) has notified TD, at least five Business Days in advance, of its intention to effect a Change in Banknorth Recommendation, specifying the material terms and conditions of any such Superior Proposal and furnishing to TD a copy of the relevant proposed transaction agreements, if such exist, with the party making such Superior Proposal and (C) during the period of not less than five Business Days following Banknorth’s delivery of the notice referred to in clause (B) above and prior to effecting such a Change in Banknorth Recommendation, has negotiated, and has used reasonable best efforts to cause its financial and legal advisors to negotiate, with TD in good faith (to the extent that TD desires to negotiate) to make such adjustments in the terms and conditions of this Agreement so that such Acquisition Proposal ceases to constitute a Superior Proposal.

(c) As promptly as practicable after the execution of this Agreement, Banknorth, acting as the sole stockholder of Banknorth Delaware, shall, at a meeting of the sole stockholder of Banknorth Delaware which meeting Banknorth shall cause Banknorth Delaware to hold, (i) adopt this Agreement in respect of the Migratory Merger and the Acquisition Merger and (ii) irrevocably waive any right of appraisal with respect to the Acquisition Merger or the right to dissent from the Acquisition Merger that Banknorth may have.

Section 6.4. Acquisition Proposals. (a) Banknorth agrees that neither it nor any of its Subsidiaries nor any of the officers and directors of it or its Subsidiaries shall, and that it shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause its and its Subsidiaries’ employees, agents and representatives (including any investment banker, attorney or accountant retained by it or any of its Subsidiaries) not to, directly or indirectly, (i) initiate, solicit or knowingly encourage or facilitate any inquiries or the making of any proposal or offer with respect to, or a transaction to effect, a merger, reorganization, share exchange, consolidation, business combination, recapitalization, liquidation, dissolution or similar transaction involving it or any of its Significant Subsidiaries (as defined below), or any purchase or sale of 10% or more of the consolidated assets (including stock of its Subsidiaries) of it and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, or any purchase or sale of, or tender or exchange offer for, its voting securities that, if consummated, would result in any person (or the stockholders of such person) beneficially owning securities representing 10% or more of the total voting power of Banknorth (or of the surviving parent entity in such transaction) or any of its Significant Subsidiaries (any such proposal, offer or transaction (other than a proposal or offer made by TD or an affiliate thereof) being hereinafter referred as an “Acquisition Proposal”), (ii) have any discussions with or provide any confidential information or data to any person relating to an Acquisition Proposal, or engage in any negotiations concerning an Acquisition Proposal, or knowingly facilitate any effort or attempt to make or implement an Acquisition Proposal, (iii) approve or recommend, or propose to approve or recommend, any Acquisition Proposal or (iv) approve or recommend, or propose to approve or recommend, or execute or enter into, any letter of intent, agreement in principle, merger agreement, asset purchase or share exchange agreement, option agreement or other similar agreement related to any Acquisition Proposal or propose or agree to do any of the foregoing. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 6.4(a), in the event that, prior to obtaining the Required Banknorth Vote, Banknorth receives an unsolicited bona fide Acquisition Proposal and its board of directors concludes in good faith that such Acquisition Proposal constitutes or is reasonably likely to result in a Superior Proposal, Banknorth may, and may permit its Subsidiaries and its and their representatives to, furnish or cause to be furnished

- 46 -

confidential information or data to the person making such Acquisition Proposal and participate in negotiations or discussions with such person regarding such Acquisition Proposal to the extent that Banknorth’s Board of Directors concludes in good faith (after consultation with its outside counsel) that failure to take such actions would result in a violation of its fiduciary duties under applicable law; provided that prior to providing (or causing to be provided) any confidential information or data permitted to be provided pursuant to this sentence, Banknorth shall have entered into a confidentiality agreement with such third party on terms no less favorable to Banknorth than the confidentiality agreement previously entered into between TD and Banknorth; and provided further, that Banknorth shall also provide to TD a copy of any such confidential information or data that it is providing to any third party pursuant to this Section 6.4 to the extent not previously provided or made available to TD. The term “Significant Subsidiary” shall have the meaning ascribed thereto in Rule 1-02 of Regulation S-X.

(b) For purposes of this Agreement, “Superior Proposal” with respect to Banknorth means a bona fide written Acquisition Proposal which the Board of Directors of Banknorth concludes in good faith, after consultation with its financial advisors and legal advisors, taking into account all legal, financial, regulatory and other aspects of the proposal and the person making the proposal (including any break-up fees, expense reimbursement provisions and conditions to consummation), (i) is more favorable to the stockholders of Banknorth, from a financial point of view, than the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and (ii) is fully financed or reasonably capable of being fully financed and otherwise reasonably capable of being completed on the terms proposed; provided that, for purposes of this definition of “Superior Proposal,” the term Acquisition Proposal shall have the meaning assigned to such term in Section 6.4(a), except that the reference to “10% or more” in the definition of “Acquisition Proposal” shall be deemed to be a reference to “a majority” and “Acquisition Proposal” shall only be deemed to refer to a transaction involving voting securities of Banknorth or all or substantially all of the consolidated assets of Banknorth and its Subsidiaries.

(c) Banknorth will, and will cause its Subsidiaries and its and their employees, agents and representatives to, immediately cease and cause to be terminated any activities, discussions or negotiations conducted before the date of this Agreement with any persons other than TD with respect to any Acquisition Proposal and will use its reasonable best efforts to enforce (and will not release any third party from its obligations under) any standstill, confidentiality or similar agreement relating to an Acquisition Proposal, including by requiring the other parties thereto to promptly return or destroy any confidential information previously furnished by Banknorth thereunder and by using its reasonable best efforts to obtain injunctions or other equitable remedies to prevent or restrain any breaches of such agreements and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions thereof in a court of competent jurisdiction. Banknorth will promptly (within one Business Day) following receipt of any Acquisition Proposal advise TD of the substance thereof (including the identity of the person making such Acquisition Proposal), and will keep TD apprised of any related developments, discussions and negotiations (including the terms and conditions of the Acquisition Proposal) on a current basis (and, in any event, within 48 hours of the occurrence of such developments, discussions or negotiations).

(d) Nothing contained in this Agreement shall prevent Banknorth or its Board of Directors from complying with Rule 14d-9 and Rule 14e-2 under the Exchange Act with respect to an Acquisition Proposal, provided that such Rules will in no way eliminate or modify the

- 47 -

effect that any action pursuant to such Rules would otherwise have under this Agreement; and provided, further, that any such disclosure (other than a “stop, look and listen” or similar communication of the type contemplated by Rule 14-9(f) under the Exchange Act) shall be deemed to be a Change in Recommendation for purposes of Article VIII hereof unless the Banknorth Board of Directors expressly reaffirms the Banknorth Recommendation in such disclosure.

(e) Banknorth agrees that any violation of the restrictions set forth in this Section 6.4 by any director, officer, employee, agent or representative (including any investment banker, financial advisor, attorney, accountant or other retained representative) of Banknorth or its Subsidiaries, at the direction or with the consent or prior knowledge of Banknorth or its Subsidiaries, shall be deemed to be a breach of this Section 6.4 by Banknorth.

Section 6.5. Legal Conditions to Merger. (a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, each of TD and Banknorth shall, and shall cause their respective Subsidiaries to, use their reasonable best efforts (i) to take, or cause to be taken, all actions necessary, proper or advisable to comply promptly with all legal requirements which may be imposed on such party or its Subsidiaries with respect to the Migratory Merger or the Acquisition Merger, subject to the conditions set forth in Article VII hereof, to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and (ii) to obtain (and to cooperate with the other party to obtain) any consent, authorization, order or approval of, or any exemption by, any Governmental Entity and any other third party which is required to be obtained by Banknorth or TD or any of their respective Subsidiaries in connection with the Mergers and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement; provided, however, that no party shall be required to take any action pursuant to the foregoing sentence if the taking of such action or the obtaining of such consents, authorizations, orders, approvals or exemptions is reasonably likely to result in a condition or restriction having an effect of the type referred to in Section 7.2(c).

(b) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement (including the proviso in Section 6.5(a)), each of TD and Banknorth agrees to use reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions, and to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper or advisable to consummate and make effective, as soon as practicable after the date of this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby, including using reasonable best efforts to (i) modify or amend any contracts, plans or arrangements to which TD or Banknorth is a party (to the extent permitted by the terms thereof) if necessary in order to satisfy the conditions to closing set forth in Article VII hereof, (ii) lift or rescind any injunction or restraining order or other order adversely affecting the ability of the parties to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby, and (iii) defend any litigation seeking to enjoin, prevent or delay the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or seeking material damages in connection therewith (in which litigation Banknorth shall provide TD the reasonable opportunity to participate).

Section 6.6. Affiliates. Banknorth shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause each director, executive officer and other person who is an “affiliate” (for purposes of Rule 145 under the Securities Act) of Banknorth to deliver to TD, as soon as practicable after the date of this Agreement, and in any event prior to the date of the Banknorth Shareholders Meeting, a written agreement, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit G, relating to required transfer

- 48 -

(c) Banknorth Delaware shall maintain in effect for six years from the Effective Time policies of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance containing terms and conditions which are not less advantageous than any such policies currently maintained by Banknorth, with respect to matters occurring prior to the Effective Time; provided that (i) TD may substitute therefor policies of at least the same coverage containing terms and conditions which are not materially less advantageous to any beneficiary thereof and (ii) such policies may in TD’s sole discretion be one or more “tail” policies for all or any portion of the full six year period.

(b) by either TD or Banknorth if (i) any Governmental Entity which must grant a Requisite Regulatory Approval has denied approval of the Merger and such denial has become final and nonappealable, or (ii) any Governmental Entity of competent jurisdiction shall have issued a final nonappealable order enjoining or otherwise prohibiting the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement;

(c) by either TD or Banknorth if the Effective Time shall not have occurred on or before June 30, 2005, unless the failure of the Effective Time to occur by such date shall be due to the failure of the party seeking to terminate this Agreement to perform or observe the covenants and agreements of such party set forth herein;

(d) by either TD or Banknorth (provided that the terminating party is not then in material breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or other agreement contained herein), if the other party shall have breached (i) any of the covenants or agreements made by such other party herein or (ii) any of the representations or warranties made by

- 56 -

such other party herein, and in either case, such breach (x) is not cured within 30 days following written notice to the party committing such breach, or which breach, by its nature, cannot be cured prior to the Closing and (y) would entitle the non-breaching party not to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby under Article VII hereof;

In the event that the common shares of any such company ceases to be publicly traded or any such announcement is made with respect to any such company, such company will be removed from the Index Group, and the weights (which have been determined based on the number of outstanding common shares) redistributed proportionately for purposes of determining the Initial Index Price and Final Index Price.

This Agreement may be executed by facsimile and in counterparts, all of which shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when counterparts have been signed by each of the parties and delivered to the other parties, it being understood that all parties need not sign the same counterpart.

Section 9.6. Entire Agreement. This Agreement (including the Exhibits and the Disclosure Schedules hereto and the other documents and instruments referred to herein) constitutes the entire agreement and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof.

Section 9.7. Governing Law; Jurisdiction. (a) This Agreement shall be governed and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware (except to the extent that mandatory provisions of federal law or the MBCA are applicable). Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally consents to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware or any court of the United States located in the State of Delaware, for any action, proceeding or investigation in any court or before any governmental authority (“Litigation”) arising out of or relating to this Agreement and

- 62 -

the transactions contemplated hereby. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, and agrees not to assert, by way of motion, as a defense, counterclaim or otherwise, in any such Litigation, the defense of sovereign immunity, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of the aforesaid courts for any reason other than the failure to serve process in accordance with this Section 9.7, that it or its property is exempt or immune from jurisdiction of any such court or from any legal process commenced in such courts (whether through service of notice, attachment prior to judgment, attachment in aid of execution of judgment, execution of judgment or otherwise), and to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, that the Litigation in any such court is brought in an inconvenient forum, that the venue of such Litigation is improper, or that this Agreement, or the subject matter hereof, may not be enforced in or by such courts and further irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the benefit of any defense that would hinder, xxxxxx or delay the levy, execution or collection of any amount to which the party is entitled pursuant to the final judgment of any court having jurisdiction. Each of the parties irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any and all rights to trial by jury in connection with any Litigation arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.

(b) TD hereby irrevocably designates its New York Branch, located 00 Xxxx 00xx Xxxxxx, Xxx Xxxx, XX 00000 (in such capacity, the “TD Process Agent”) its designee, appointee and agent to receive, for and on its behalf, service of process in such jurisdiction in any Litigation arising out of or relating to this Agreement and such service shall be deemed complete upon delivery thereof to the Process Agent; provided that in the case of any such service upon the TD Process Agent, the party effecting such service shall also deliver a copy thereof to TD in the manner provided in Section 9.3. Each of the parties further irrevocably consents to the service of process out of any of the aforementioned courts in any such Litigation by the mailing of copies thereof by registered mail, postage prepaid, to such party at its address set forth in this Agreement, such service of process to be effective upon acknowledgment of receipt of such registered mail.

(c) Each of the parties expressly acknowledges that the foregoing waiver is intended to be irrevocable under the laws of the State of Delaware and of the United States of America; provided that consent by TD and Banknorth to jurisdiction and service contained in this Section 9.7 is solely for the purpose referred to in this Section 9.7 and shall not be deemed to be a general submission to said courts or in the State of Delaware other than for such purpose. If the TD Process Agent shall cease to act as such or to exist, TD covenants that it shall appoint without delay another such agent reasonably satisfactory to Banknorth.

Section 9.8. Severability. Any term or provision of this Agreement which is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to that jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity or unenforceability without rendering invalid or unenforceable the remaining terms and provisions of this Agreement or affecting the validity or enforceability of any of the terms or provisions of this Agreement in any other jurisdiction, and if any provision of this Agreement is determined to be so broad as to be unenforceable, the provision shall be interpreted to be only so broad as is enforceable, in all cases so long as neither the economic nor legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is affected in any manner materially adverse to any party or its shareholders or

- 63 -

stockholders. Upon any such determination, the parties shall negotiate in good faith in an effort to agree upon a suitable and equitable substitute provision to effect the original intent of the parties.

Section 9.9. Publicity. TD and Banknorth shall consult with each other before issuing any press release with respect to the Mergers, this Agreement or the Stockholders Agreement and shall not issue any such press release or make any such public statement without the prior consent of the other party, which shall not be unreasonably withheld; provided, however, that a party may, without the prior consent of the other party (but after prior consultation, to the extent practicable in the circumstances) issue such press release or make such public statement as may upon the advice of outside counsel be required by law or the rules and regulations of the New York Stock Exchange or the Toronto Stock Exchange, as applicable. Without limiting the reach of the preceding sentence, TD and Banknorth shall (a) cooperate to develop all public announcement materials and (b) make appropriate management available at presentations related to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement as reasonably requested by the other party. In addition, Banknorth and its Subsidiaries shall (i) consult with TD regarding communications with customers, shareholders, prospective investors and employees related to the transactions contemplated hereby, (ii) provide TD with shareholder lists of Banknorth and (iii) use reasonable best efforts, at TD’s expense, to facilitate TD contact with shareholders of Banknorth and other prospective investors.

Section 9.10. Assignment; Third Party Beneficiaries. Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations of any party hereunder shall be assigned by any of the parties hereto (whether by operation of law or otherwise) without the prior written consent of the other party. Subject to the preceding sentence, this Agreement will be binding upon, inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns. This Agreement (including the documents and instruments referred to herein) is not intended to confer upon any person other than the parties hereto any rights or remedies hereunder other than with respect to the provisions of Section 6.7 and 6.13(d) and (e), which shall inure to the benefit of the directors and officers of Banknorth referred to therein and their respective heirs and personal representatives, who are intended to be third-party beneficiaries thereof.

SECTION 1.1. If required by applicable law, the annual meeting of the stockholders of Berlin Delaware Inc. (the “Corporation”) for the purpose of electing directors and for the transaction of such other business as may properly be brought before the meeting shall be held at such place within or without the State of the Delaware and at such time and date as shall be designated from time to time by the Board of Directors or by the Chairman of the Board of Directors.

SECTION 1.2. Special meetings of the stockholders may be called by the President for any purpose and shall be called by the President or Secretary if directed by the Board of Directors or requested in writing by the holders of at least a majority of the then-outstanding share of capital stock of the Corporation. Each such stockholder request shall state the purpose of the proposed meeting.

SECTION 1.3. Unless otherwise required by applicable law, notice of the time, place and, in the case of a special meeting, the purpose or purposes of every annual and every special meeting of the stockholders shall be delivered personally or given at least ten days (but not more than sixty days) prior to the date of such meeting to each stockholder of record entitled to vote at such meeting.

SECTION 1.4. At any meeting of stockholders, the holders of record, present in person or by proxy, of a majority of the Corporation’s issued and outstanding capital stock shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business, except as otherwise provided by law.

SECTION 1.5. Unless determined otherwise by the Board of Directors, the Chairman of the Board, or in the Chairman’s absence or at the Chairman’s direction, the President, shall call all meetings of the stockholders to order and shall act as Chairman of such meeting and the Secretary of the Corporation shall act as secretary of the meeting. Unless otherwise determined by the Board of Directors prior to the meeting, the Chairman of the meeting shall determine the order of business and shall have the authority in his or her discretion to regulate the conduct of any such meeting, including, without limitation, by imposing (i) restrictions on the persons (other than stockholders of the Corporation or their duly appointed proxies) who may attend any such meeting, whether any stockholder or stockholders’ proxy may be excluded from any meeting of stockholders based upon any determination by the Chairman, in his or her sole discretion, that any such person has unduly disrupted or is likely to disrupt the

proceedings thereat, (ii) rules and procedures for maintaining order at the meeting and the safety of those present, (iii) restrictions on entry to the meeting after the time fixed for the commencement thereof, (iv) rules and procedures with respect to the circumstances in which any person may make a statement or ask questions and (v) limitations on time allotted to questions or comments by participants.

SECTION 1.6. Each stockholder shall have one vote for each share of stock entitled to vote held of record by such stockholder and a proportionate vote for each fractional share so held, unless otherwise provided in the Certificate of Incorporation.

No such proxy shall be voted or acted upon after three years from the date of its execution, unless the proxy expressly provides for a longer period.

SECTION 1.7. In all matters, when a quorum is present at any meeting, the vote of the holders of a majority in voting power of the stock present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote on the matter shall decide any question brought before such meeting, unless the question is one upon which by express provision of statute, of applicable stock exchange rule or of the Certificate of Incorporation or these By-Laws, a different vote is required, in which case such express provision shall govern and control the decision of such question. Except as otherwise provided in the Certificate of Incorporation, any election of directors shall be determined by a plurality of the votes cast by the stockholders entitled to vote in such election.

SECTION 1.8. The officer who has charge of the stock ledger of the Corporation shall prepare and make at least ten days before every meeting of stockholders, a complete list of the stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting, arranged in alphabetical order, and showing the address of each stockholder and the number of shares registered in the name of each stockholder.

SECTION 1.9. The Board of Directors, in advance of all meetings of the stockholders, shall appoint one or more judges of stockholder votes, who may be stockholders or their proxies, but not directors of the Corporation or candidates for office. In the event that the Board of Directors fails to so appoint judges of stockholder votes or, in the event that one or more judges of stockholder votes previously designated by the Board of Directors fails to appear or act at the meeting of stockholders, the Chairman of the meeting may appoint one or more judges of stockholder votes to fill such vacancy or vacancies. Judges of stockholder votes appointed to act at any meeting of the stockholders, before entering upon the discharge of their duties, shall be sworn faithfully to execute the duties of judge of stockholder votes with strict impartiality and according to the best of their ability and the oath so taken shall be subscribed by them.

stock of the Corporation represented at the meeting and such judges’ count of all votes and ballots. Such certification and report shall specify such other information as may be required by law. In determining the validity and counting of proxies and ballots cast at any meeting of stockholders of the Corporation, the judges of stockholder votes may consider such information as is permitted by applicable law.

SECTION 1.10. (a) Annual Meetings of Stockholders. Nominations of persons for election to the Board of Directors of the Corporation and the proposal of business to be considered by the stockholders may be made at an annual meeting of stockholders (A) pursuant to the Corporation’s notice of meeting delivered pursuant to Section 1.3 of these By-Laws, (B) otherwise properly brought before the meeting by or at the direction of the Board of Directors or (C) by any stockholder of the Corporation who is entitled to vote at the meeting in such election or on such matter (as the case may be), who complied with the notice procedures set forth in subparagraphs (2) and (3) of this paragraph (a) of this By-Law and who was a stockholder of record at the time such notice is delivered to the Secretary of the Corporation.

(2) At any annual meeting of stockholders only such business shall be conducted as shall have been properly brought before the meeting. For nominations or other business to be properly brought before an annual meeting by a stockholder pursuant to clause (C) of paragraph (a)(1) of this By-Law, the stockholder must have given timely notice thereof in writing to the Secretary of the Corporation, and, in the case of business other than nominations, such other business must be a proper matter for stockholder action. To be timely, a stockholder’s notice shall be delivered to or mailed the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the Corporation not less than 90 days nor more than 120 days prior to the first anniversary of the preceding year’s annual meeting (which first anniversary for the 2005 annual meeting of stockholders of the Corporation shall be deemed to be April 27, 2005); provided, however, that in the event that the date of the annual meeting is advanced by more than 20 days, or delayed by more than 70 days, from such anniversary date, notice by the stockholder to be timely must be so delivered or mailed not earlier than the 120th day prior to such annual meeting and not later than the close of business on the later of the 90th day prior to such annual meeting or the tenth day following the day on which public announcement of the date of such meeting is first made. Such stockholder’s notice shall set forth (A) as to each person whom the stockholder proposes to nominate for election or re-election as a Director (i) the name, age, business address and residence address of the person, (ii) the principal occupation or employment of the person, (iii) the class and number of shares of capital stock of the Corporation which are beneficially owned by the person (iv) a description of all arrangements or understandings between the stockholder and such nominee and any other person or persons (including the names of such person or persons) pursuant to which such nomination is being made, and (v) all information relating to such person that is required to be disclosed in solicitations of proxies for election of directors, or is otherwise required, in each case pursuant to Regulation 14A under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), including such person’s written consent to being named in the proxy statement as a nominee and to serving as a director if elected; (B) as to any other business that the

stockholder proposes to bring before the meeting, a brief description of the business desired to be brought before the meeting, the text of the proposal or business (including the text of any resolutions proposed for consideration and in the event that such business includes a proposal to amend the By-Laws of the Corporation, the language of the proposed amendment), the reasons for conducting such business at the meeting and any material interest in such business of such stockholder and the beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf the proposal is made; and (C) as to the stockholder giving the notice and the beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf the nomination or proposal is made (i) the name and address of such stockholder, as they appear on the Corporation’s books, and of such beneficial owner, (ii) the class and number of shares of the Corporation which are owned beneficially and of record by such stockholder and such beneficial owner, (iii) a representation that such stockholder is a holder of record of capital stock of the Corporation entitled to vote at such meeting and intends to appear in person or by proxy at the meeting to nominate the person or persons or propose the business specified in the notice, (iv) whether the stockholder intends or is part of a group which intends to solicit proxies from other stockholders in support of such nomination and (v) any other information that is required to be provided by the stockholder pursuant to Regulation 14A under the Exchange Act in his or her capacity as a proponent to a stockholder proposal. The Corporation may require any proposed nominee to furnish such other information as may reasonably be required by the Corporation to determine the eligibility of such proposed nominee to serve as a director of the Corporation. No person shall be eligible for election as a Director of the Corporation at a meeting of stockholders unless such person has been nominated in accordance with the procedures set forth herein. If the facts warrant, the Chairman of the meeting shall determine and declare to the meeting that a nomination or business does not satisfy the requirements set forth in the preceding sentences and the defective nomination shall be disregarded or such business shall not be transacted, as the case may be. The foregoing notice requirements of this Section 1.10(a)(2) shall be deemed satisfied by a stockholder if the stockholder has notified the Corporation of his or her intention to present a proposal or nomination at an annual meeting in compliance with applicable rules and regulations promulgated under the Exchange Act and such stockholder’s proposal or nomination has been included in a proxy statement that has been prepared by the Corporation to solicit proxies for such annual meeting.

(3) Notwithstanding anything in paragraph (a)(2) of this By-Law to the contrary, in the event that the number of directors to be elected to the Board of Directors of the Corporation is increased to add Directors and there is no public announcement naming all of the director nominees or specifying the size of the increased Board of Directors made by the Corporation at least 100 days prior to the first anniversary of the preceding year’s annual meeting, a stockholder’s notice, to the extent required by this By-Law, shall also be considered timely, but only with respect to nominees for any new Director positions created by such increase, if it shall be delivered to the Secretary at the principal executive offices

of the Corporation not later than the close of business on the tenth day following the day on which such public announcement is first made by the Corporation.

(b) Special Meetings of Stockholders. Only such business shall be conducted at a special meeting of stockholders as shall have been brought before the meeting pursuant to the Corporation’s notice of meeting pursuant to Section 1.3 of these By-Laws. Nominations of persons for election to the Board of Directors may be made at a special meeting of stockholders at which directors are to be elected pursuant to the Corporation’s notice of meeting (A) by or at the direction of the Board of Directors or (B) provided that the Board of Directors has determined that Directors shall be elected at such meeting, by any stockholder of the Corporation who is entitled to vote at the meeting in such election, who complies with the notice procedures set forth in this Section 1.10 and who is a stockholder of record at the time such notice is delivered to the Secretary of the Corporation. Nominations of stockholders of persons for election to the Board of Directors may be made at such a special meeting of stockholders if the stockholder’s notice as required by paragraph (a)(2) of this Section 1.10 shall be delivered to the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the Corporation not earlier than the 120th day prior to such special meeting and not later than the close of business on the later of the 90th day prior to such special meeting or the tenth day following the day on which public announcement is first made of the date of the special meeting and of the nominees proposed by the Board of Directors to be elected at such meeting.

(c) General. Only persons who are nominated in accordance with the procedures set forth in this By-Law shall be eligible to serve as Directors and only such business shall be conducted at a meeting of stockholders as shall have been brought before the meeting in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 1.10. Except as otherwise provided by law, the Certificate of Incorporation or these By-laws, the Chairman of the meeting shall have the power and duty to determine whether a nomination or any business proposed to be brought before the meeting was made in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 1.10 and, if any proposed nomination or business is not in compliance with this Section 1.10, to declare that such defective nomination shall be disregarded or that such proposed business shall not be transacted. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 1.10, unless otherwise required by law, if the stockholder (or a qualified representative of the stockholder) does not appear at the annual or special meeting of stockholders of the Corporation to present a nomination or proposed business, such nomination shall be disregarded and such proposed business shall not be transacted, notwithstanding that proxies in respect of such vote may have been received by the Corporation. For purposes of this Section 1.10, to be considered a qualified representative of the stockholder, a person must be authorized by a writing executed by such stockholder or an electronic transmission delivered by such stockholder to act for such stockholder as proxy at the meeting of stockholders and such person must produce such writing or electronic transmission, or a reliable reproduction of the writing or electronic transmission, at the meeting of stockholders.

(2) For purposes of this Section 1.10, “public announcement” shall mean disclosure in a press release reported by the Dow Xxxxx News Service, Associated Press or comparable national news service or in a document publicly filed by the Corporation with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Section 13, 14 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act.

(3) For purposes of this Section 1.10, no adjournment nor notice of adjournment of any meeting shall be deemed to constitute a new notice of such meeting for purposes of this Section 1.10, and in order for any notification required to be delivered by a stockholder pursuant to this Section 1.10 to be timely, such notification must be delivered within the periods set forth above with respect to the originally scheduled meeting.

(4) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 1.10, a stockholder shall also comply with all applicable requirements of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder with respect to the matters set forth in this Section 1.10. Nothing in this Section 1.10 shall be deemed to affect any rights (a) of stockholders to request inclusion of proposals in the Corporation’s proxy statement pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act or (b) of the holders of any series of Preferred Stock to elect directors pursuant to any applicable provisions of the Certificate of Incorporation.

ARTICLE II

DIRECTORS

SECTION 2.1. A meeting of the Board of Directors shall be held following the annual meeting of the stockholders at the place of such annual meeting and as soon as practicable thereafter, and no notice thereof shall be necessary. Regular meetings of the Board of Directors shall be held on such days and at such hours as shall from time to time be fixed by standing resolution of the Board of Directors, and the meeting following the annual meeting of the stockholders shall constitute a regular meeting. In the event that the day fixed for any regular meeting of the Board of Directors shall fall on a legal holiday, then such regular meeting shall be held at the same hour upon such day as the Board of Directors may previously designate by resolution, and if no such day be designated, then said meeting shall be held on the next succeeding day that is not a holiday. Notice need not be given of regular meetings of the Board of Directors held at times fixed by resolution of the Board. Special meetings of the Board of Directors shall be called by the Secretary when requested by act of the Board of Directors, or by the Chairman of the Board of Directors, a Vice Chairman of the Board of Directors, or the President. Notice of the time and place of each meeting (other than regular meetings) and each special meeting of the Board of Directors or any committee thereof shall be sent to each Director or member of such committee, as the case may be, by the Secretary, by facsimile transmission or by electronic mail (if previously requested by such Director, in accordance with the instructions provided by such Director), with a copy delivered by mail or by recognized courier service, at least five days prior to the date fixed for such meeting unless such notice requirement is waived by a majority of the Board of Directors or such committee, including, in each case, a majority of the Class B Directors, in which case such notice shall be sent by facsimile transmission or by electronic mail (if previously requested by such Director, in accordance with the instructions provided by such Director) or telephonically at least twenty-four hours prior to the date and time fixed for such meeting. Each meeting of the Board of Directors shall be held at the principal office of the Corporation unless the Board of Directors, by standing resolution or otherwise, shall designate some other place where such meeting shall be held. Notice of any meeting need not be given to any director who shall attend such meeting in person (except when the director attends a

meeting for the express purpose of objecting at the beginning of the meeting, to the transaction of any business because the meeting is not lawfully called or convened), or who shall waive notice thereof, before or after such meeting, in writing or by electronic transmission.

SECTION 2.2. The business and affairs of the Corporation shall be managed by or under the direction of the Board of Directors except as may otherwise be provided by the DGCL or the Certificate of Incorporation.

SECTION 2.3. If at any meeting for the election of directors, the Corporation has outstanding more than one class of stock, and one or more such classes or series thereof are entitled to vote separately as a class, and there shall be a quorum of only one such class or series of stock, that class or series of stock shall be entitled to elect its quota of directors notwithstanding absence of a quorum of the other class or series of stock.

SECTION 2.4. (a) The Board of Directors may designate one or more committees, each committee to consist of one or more of the directors of the Corporation.

(b) All decisions of such committees shall require the affirmative vote of a majority of the directors on such committee.

For purposes of this Certificate of Incorporation, the term Transfer shall include the sale of an Affiliate of TD or TD’s interest in an Affiliate which Beneficially Owns Voting Securities unless such Transfer is in connection with a merger, amalgamation, plan of arrangement or consolidation or similar business combination transaction referred to in the first proviso of the previous sentence.

ELEVENTH. A. In recognition of the fact that the Corporation and TD currently engage in, and may in the future engage in, the same or similar activities or lines of business and have an interest in the same areas and types of corporate opportunities (subject, in each case, to the provisions of Section 4.10 of the Stockholders Agreement), and in recognition of the benefits to be derived by the Corporation through its continued contractual, corporate and business relations with TD (including possible service of officers and directors of TD as officers and directors of the Corporation), the provisions of this Article ELEVENTH are set forth to regulate and define the conduct of certain affairs of the Corporation as they may involve TD and its officers and

directors, and the powers, rights, duties and liabilities of the Corporation and its officers, directors and stockholders in connection therewith. In furtherance of the foregoing (but without limiting the provisions of Section 4.10 of the Stockholders Agreement), the Corporation renounces any interest or expectancy in, or in being offered the opportunity to participate in, any corporate opportunity not allocated to it pursuant to this Article ELEVENTH to the fullest extent permitted by Section 122(17) of the DGCL (or any successor provision), and TD renounces any interest or expectancy in, or in being offered the opportunity to participate in, any corporate opportunity presented to a director or officer of TD and allocated to the Corporation pursuant to Article ELEVENTH to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.

B. TD shall have no duty to refrain from engaging in the same or similar activities or lines of business as the Corporation (except as may otherwise be expressly provided in Section 4.10 of the Stockholders Agreement), and neither TD nor any officer or director thereof shall be liable to the Corporation or its stockholders for breach of any fiduciary duty by reason of any such activities of TD. In the event that TD acquires knowledge of a potential transaction or matter which may be a corporate opportunity for both TD and the Corporation, TD shall have no duty to communicate or offer such corporate opportunity to the Corporation and shall not be liable to the Corporation or its stockholders for breach of any fiduciary duty as a stockholder of the Corporation by reason of the fact that TD pursues or acquires such corporate opportunity for itself, directs such corporate opportunity to another Person, or does not communicate information regarding such corporate opportunity to the Corporation, and the Corporation hereby renounces any interest or expectancy in such corporate opportunity.

C. In the event that a director or officer of the Corporation who is also a director or officer of TD acquires knowledge of a potential transaction or matter which may be a corporate opportunity for both the Corporation and TD, such director or officer of the Corporation shall have fully satisfied and fulfilled the fiduciary duty of such director or officer to the Corporation and its stockholders with respect to such corporate opportunity if such director or officer acts in a manner consistent with the following policy:

(1)		A corporate opportunity offered to any Person who is an officer of the Corporation, and who is also a director but not an officer of TD, shall belong to the Corporation;

(2)		A corporate opportunity offered to any Person who is a director but not an officer of the Corporation, and who is also a director or officer of TD, shall belong to the Corporation if such opportunity is expressly offered to such Person in writing solely in his or her capacity as a director of the Corporation, and otherwise shall belong to TD; and

(3)		A corporate opportunity offered to any Person who is an officer of both the Corporation and TD (other than the Chief Executive Officer of the Corporation if at the relevant time he is also an officer of TD, with respect to whom opportunities shall be subject to paragraph C(1) above except if such opportunity is expressly offered to such individual in writing solely in his or her capacity as an officer of TD) shall belong to the Corporation if such opportunity is expressly

Certificate of Incorporation

offered to such Person in writing solely in his or her capacity as an officer of the Corporation, and otherwise shall belong to TD.

D. For purposes of this Article ELEVENTH only:

(1)		A director of the Corporation who is Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Corporation or of a committee thereof shall not be deemed to be an officer of the Corporation by reason of holding such position (without regard to whether such position is deemed an office of the Corporation under the By-Laws of the Corporation), unless such Person is a full-time employee of the Corporation; and

(2)		(A) The term “Corporation” shall mean the Corporation and its Subsidiaries, and (B) the term “TD” shall mean TD and its Subsidiaries (other than the Corporation and its Subsidiaries).

E. Notwithstanding anything in this Certificate of Incorporation to the contrary, the foregoing provisions of this Article ELEVENTH shall expire on the first date on which TD and its Affiliates Beneficially Own Voting Securities representing less than 15% of the Total Voting Power. Neither the alteration, amendment or repeal of this Article ELEVENTH nor the adoption of any provision of this Certificate of Incorporation inconsistent with this Article ELEVENTH shall eliminate or reduce the effect of this Article ELEVENTH in respect of any matter occurring, or any cause of action, suit or claim that, but for this Article ELEVENTH, would accrue or arise, prior to such alteration, amendment, repeal or adoption.

TWELFTH. The Corporation elects not to be governed by Section 203 of the DGCL.

THIRTEENTH. Prior to the occurrence of a Termination Event, the Corporation shall not adopt a stockholders’ rights plan or other similar antitakeover measure unless such plan or measure expressly excludes TD and its Affiliates from its operation in all respects, and does not impair in any respect the rights of TD or any of its Affiliates under the Stockholders Agreement, including their rights under Section 3.2 thereof.

(the “Corporation”) for the purpose of electing directors and for the transaction of such other business as may properly be brought before the meeting shall be held at such place within or without the State of the Delaware and at such time and date as shall be designated from time to time by the Board of Directors or by the Chairman of the Board of Directors.

SECTION 1.2.

SECTION 1.4. (a) If at any meeting for the election of directors, the Corporation has outstanding more than one class of stock, and one or more such classes or series thereof are entitled to vote separately as a class, and there shall be a quorum of only one such class or series of stock, that class or series of stock shall be entitled to elect its quota of directors notwithstanding the absence of a quorum of the other class or series of stock. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, at any meeting held for the purpose of electing directors, (i) the presence in person or by proxy of the holder of the outstanding share of Class B Common Stock shall be required and be sufficient to constitute a quorum of such class for the election of “Class B Directors” (as defined in the Certificate of Incorporation) by such class and (ii) the presence in person or by proxy of the holders of at least a majority in voting power of the outstanding shares of capital stock of the Corporation entitled to vote in the election of Class A Directors (as hereinafter defined) at such meeting shall be required and be sufficient to constitute a quorum for the election of directors other than Class B Directors (the “Class A Directors”). At any such meeting or adjournment thereof the absence of a quorum of the holders of Class B Common

Stock shall not prevent the election of the Class A Directors, and the absence of a quorum of the holders of voting shares other than Class B Common Stock shall not prevent the election of Class B Directors.

(b) Except as otherwise provided by law, the Certificate of Incorporation or these By-laws, at any meeting held for any purpose other than the election of directors, the holders of a majority in voting power of the shares of capital stock of the Corporation issued and outstanding and entitled to vote at the meeting, present in person or represented by proxy, shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business.

SECTION 1.7. In all matters other than the election of directors, when a quorum is present at any meeting, the vote of the holders of a majority in voting power of the stock present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote on the matter shall decide any question brought before such meeting, unless the question is one upon which by express provision of statute, of applicable stock exchange rule or of the Certificate of Incorporation or these By-Laws, a different vote is required, in which case such express provision shall govern and control the decision of such question. Except as otherwise provided in the Certificate of Incorporation, any election of directors shall be determined by a plurality of the votes cast by the stockholders entitled to vote in such election.

SECTION 1.8. The officer who has charge of the stock ledger of the Corporation shall prepare and make at least ten days before every meeting of stockholders, a complete list of

the stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting, arranged in alphabetical order, and showing the address of each stockholder and the number of shares registered in the name of each stockholder. The list shall be kept open to examination by any stockholder as required by applicable law. The list also shall be open to examination at the meeting as required by applicable law.

SECTION 1.10. (a) Annual Meetings of Stockholders. (1) Nominations of persons for election to the Board of Directors of the Corporation (other than for election as a Class B Director) and the proposal of business to be considered by the stockholders may be made at an annual meeting of stockholders (A) pursuant to the Corporation’s notice of meeting delivered pursuant to Section 1.3 of these By-Laws, (B) otherwise properly brought before the meeting by or at the direction of the Board of Directors or (C) by any stockholder of the Corporation who is entitled to vote at the meeting in such election or on such matter (as the case may be), who complied with the notice procedures set forth in subparagraphs (2) and (3) of this paragraph (a) of this By-Law and who was a stockholder of record at the time such notice is delivered to the Secretary of the Corporation.

prior to the first anniversary of the preceding year’s annual meeting (which first anniversary for the 2005 annual meeting of stockholders of the Corporation shall be deemed to be April 27, 2005); provided, however, that in the event that the date of the annual meeting is advanced by more than 20 days, or delayed by more than 70 days, from such anniversary date, notice by the stockholder to be timely must be so delivered or mailed not earlier than the 120th day prior to such annual meeting and not later than the close of business on the later of the 90th day prior to such annual meeting or the tenth day following the day on which public announcement of the date of such meeting is first made. Such stockholder’s notice shall set forth (A) as to each person whom the stockholder proposes to nominate for election or re-election as a Class A Director (i) the name, age, business address and residence address of the person, (ii) the principal occupation or employment of the person, (iii) the class and number of shares of capital stock of the Corporation which are beneficially owned by the person (iv) a description of all arrangements or understandings between the stockholder and such nominee and any other person or persons (including the names of such person or persons) pursuant to which such nomination is being made, and (v) all information relating to such person that is required to be disclosed in solicitations of proxies for election of directors, or is otherwise required, in each case pursuant to Regulation 14A under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), including such person’s written consent to being named in the proxy statement as a nominee and to serving as a director if elected; (B) as to any other business that the stockholder proposes to bring before the meeting, a brief description of the business desired to be brought before the meeting, the text of the proposal or business (including the text of any resolutions proposed for consideration and in the event that such business includes a proposal to amend the By-Laws of the Corporation, the language of the proposed amendment), the reasons for conducting such business at the meeting and any material interest in such business of such stockholder and the beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf the proposal is made; and (C) as to the stockholder giving the notice and the beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf the nomination or proposal is made (i) the name and address of such stockholder, as they appear on the Corporation’s books, and of such beneficial owner, (ii) the class and number of shares of the Corporation which are owned beneficially and of record by such stockholder and such beneficial owner, (iii) a representation that such stockholder is a holder of record of capital stock of the Corporation entitled to vote at such meeting and intends to appear in person or by proxy at the meeting to nominate the person or persons or propose the business specified in the notice, (iv) whether the stockholder intends or is part of a group which intends to solicit proxies from other stockholders in support of such nomination and (v) any other information that is required to be provided by the stockholder pursuant to Regulation 14A under the Exchange Act in his or her capacity as a proponent to a stockholder proposal. The Corporation may require any proposed nominee to furnish such other information as may reasonably be required by the Corporation to determine the eligibility of such proposed nominee to serve as a director of the Corporation. No person shall be eligible for election as a Class A Director of the Corporation at

a meeting of stockholders unless such person has been nominated in accordance with the procedures set forth herein. If the facts warrant, the Chairman of the meeting shall determine and declare to the meeting that a nomination or business does not satisfy the requirements set forth in the preceding sentences and the defective nomination shall be disregarded or such business shall not be transacted, as the case may be. The foregoing notice requirements of this Section 1.10(a)(2) shall be deemed satisfied by a stockholder if the stockholder has notified the Corporation of his or her intention to present a proposal or nomination at an annual meeting in compliance with applicable rules and regulations promulgated under the Exchange Act and such stockholder’s proposal or nomination has been included in a proxy statement that has been prepared by the Corporation to solicit proxies for such annual meeting.

(3) Notwithstanding anything in paragraph (a)(2) of this By-Law to the contrary, in the event that the number of directors to be elected to the Board of Directors of the Corporation is increased to add Class A Directors and there is no public announcement naming all of the Class A Director nominees for director or specifying the size of the increased Board of Directors made by the Corporation at least 100 days prior to the first anniversary of the preceding year’s annual meeting, a stockholder’s notice, to the extent required by this By-Law, shall also be considered timely, but only with respect to nominees for any new Class A Director positions created by such increase, if it shall be delivered to the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the Corporation not later than the close of business on the tenth day following the day on which such public announcement is first made by the Corporation.

(b) Special Meetings of Stockholders. Only such business shall be conducted at a special meeting of stockholders as shall have been brought before the meeting pursuant to the Corporation’s notice of meeting pursuant to Section 1.3 of these By-Laws. Nominations of persons for election to the Board of Directors (other than for election as a Class B Director) may be made at a special meeting of stockholders at which directors are to be elected pursuant to the Corporation’s notice of meeting (A) by or at the direction of the Board of Directors or (B) by any stockholder of the Corporation who is entitled to vote at the meeting in such election, who complies with the notice procedures set forth in this Section 1.10 and who is a stockholder of record at the time such notice is delivered to the Secretary of the Corporation. Nominations by stockholders of persons for election to the Board of Directors may be made at such a special meeting of stockholders if the stockholder’s notice as required by paragraph (a)(2) of this Section 1.10 shall be delivered to the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the Corporation not earlier than the 120th day prior to such special meeting and not later than the close of business on the later of the 90th day prior to such special meeting or the tenth day following the day on which public announcement is first made of the date of the special meeting and, if applicable, of the nominees proposed by the Board of Directors to be elected at such meeting.

(c) General. (1) Only persons who are nominated in accordance with the procedures set forth in this By-Law shall be eligible to serve as Class A Directors and only such business shall be conducted at a meeting of stockholders as shall have been brought before the meeting in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 1.10. Except as otherwise

provided by law, the Certificate of Incorporation or these By-laws, the Chairman of the meeting shall have the power and duty to determine whether a nomination or any business proposed to be brought before the meeting was made in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 1.10 and, if any proposed nomination or business is not in compliance with this Section 1.10, to declare that such defective nomination shall be disregarded or that such proposed business shall not be transacted. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 1.10, unless otherwise required by law, if the stockholder (or a qualified representative of the stockholder) does not appear at the annual or special meeting of stockholders of the Corporation to present a nomination or proposed business, such nomination shall be disregarded and such proposed business shall not be transacted, notwithstanding that proxies in respect of such vote may have been received by the Corporation. For purposes of this Section 1.10, to be considered a qualified representative of the stockholder, a person must be authorized by a writing executed by such stockholder or an electronic transmission delivered by such stockholder to act for such stockholder as proxy at the meeting of stockholders and such person must produce such writing or electronic transmission, or a reliable reproduction of the writing or electronic transmission, at the meeting of stockholders.

(5) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 1.10, the advance notice procedures for director nominations and stockholder proposals will not be applicable to The Toronto-Dominion Bank, a Canadian chartered bank, and its Affiliates (“TD”) for so long as the Class B Common Stock remains outstanding.

DIRECTORS

SECTION 2.1. A meeting of the Board of Directors shall be held following the annual meeting of the stockholders at the place of such annual meeting and as soon as practicable thereafter, and no notice thereof shall be necessary. Regular meetings of the Board of Directors shall be held on such days and at such hours as shall from time to time be fixed by standing resolution of the Board of Directors, and the meeting following the annual meeting of the stockholders shall constitute a regular meeting. In the event that the day fixed for any regular meeting of the Board of Directors shall fall on a legal holiday, then such regular meeting shall be held at the same hour upon such day as the Board of Directors may previously designate by resolution, and if no such day be designated, then said meeting shall be held on the next succeeding day that is not a holiday. Notice need not be given of regular meetings of the Board of Directors held at times fixed by resolution of the Board. Special meetings of the Board of Directors shall be called by the Secretary when requested by directors representing a majority of the Board of Directors, or by the Chairman of the Board of Directors, a Vice Chairman of the Board of Directors, or the President. Notice of the time and place of each meeting (other than regular meetings) and each special meeting of the Board of Directors or any committee thereof shall be sent to each Director or member of such committee, as the case may be, by the Secretary, by facsimile transmission or by electronic mail (if previously requested by such Director, in accordance with the instructions provided by such Director), with a copy delivered by mail or by recognized courier service, at least five days prior to the date fixed for such meeting unless such notice requirement is waived by a majority of the Board of Directors or such committee, including, in each case, a majority of the Class B Directors, in which case such notice shall be sent by facsimile transmission or by electronic mail (if previously requested by such Director, in accordance with the instructions provided by such Director) or telephonically at least twenty-four hours prior to the date and time fixed for such meeting. Each meeting of the Board of Directors shall be held at the principal office of the Corporation unless the Board of Directors, by standing resolution or otherwise, shall designate some other place where such meeting shall be held. Notice of any meeting need not be given to any director who shall attend such meeting in person (except when the director attends a meeting for the express purpose of objecting at the beginning of the meeting, to the transaction of any business because the meeting is not lawfully called or convened), or who shall waive notice thereof, before or after such meeting, in writing or by electronic transmission.

SECTION 2.3. If at any meeting for the election of directors, the Corporation has outstanding more than one class of stock, and one or more such classes or series thereof are entitled to vote separately as a class, and there shall be a quorum of only one such class or series of stock, that class or series of stock shall be entitled to elect its quota of directors notwithstanding the absence of a quorum of the other class or series of stock.

SECTION 2.4. (a) The Board of Directors shall designate an Executive Committee, which shall include such number of Class B Directors as is required by Article SEVENTH of the Certificate of Incorporation. Regular meetings of the Executive Committee shall be held at such times and on such notice and at such places as it may from time to time determine. The Executive Committee shall act, advise with and aid the officers of the Corporation in all matters concerning its interest and the management of its business, and shall generally perform such duties and exercise such powers as may from time to time be delegated to it by the Board of Directors, and shall have authority to exercise all the powers of the Board of Directors, so far as may be permitted by law, in the management of the business and the affairs of the Corporation whenever the Board of Directors is not in session or whenever a quorum of the Board of Directors fails to attend any regular or special meeting of such Board. The committee shall have power to authorize the seal of the Corporation to be affixed to all papers which are required by the DGCL to have the seal affixed thereto. The fact that the Executive Committee has acted shall be conclusive evidence that the Board of Directors was not in session at such time or that a quorum of the Board of Directors had failed to attend the regular or special meeting thereof.

(b) Prior to the occurrence of a Termination Event, the Board of Directors shall maintain a committee of the Board of Directors comprised solely of all of the Designated Independent Directors (as defined in the Certificate of Incorporation) and which shall be authorized to exercise the authority otherwise solely vested in the Designated Independent Directors pursuant to paragraph A(3)(a)(ii) of Article SEVENTH of the Certificate of Incorporation and the Stockholders Agreement.

(c) The Board of Directors may designate one or more additional committees, each committee to consist of one or more of the directors of the Corporation. Each committee shall also include such number of Class B Directors as is required by Article SEVENTH of the Certificate of Incorporation.

(d) Unless otherwise provided in Article SEVENTH of the Certificate of Incorporation, all decisions of such committees shall require the affirmative vote of a majority of the directors on such committee. Subject to Article SEVENTH of the Certificate of Incorporation, the Board of Directors may designate one or more directors as alternate members of any committee, who may replace any absent or disqualified member at any meeting of the committee. Subject to Article SEVENTH of the Certificate of Incorporation, in the absence or disqualification of a member of a committee, the member or members of the committee present at any meeting and not disqualified from voting, whether or not he or they constitute a quorum, may unanimously appoint another member of the Board of Directors to act at the meeting in the place of any such absent or disqualified member. Any such committee, to the extent provided in the resolution of the Board of Directors and subject to the provisions of the DGCL, shall have and may exercise all the powers and authority of the Board of Directors in the management of the business and affairs of the corporation and may authorize the seal of the corporation to be affixed to all papers which may require it. Each such committee shall keep minutes and make such reports as the Board of Directors may from time to time request. Except as the Board of Directors may otherwise determine, any committee may make rules for the conduct of its business, but unless otherwise provided by the directors or in such rules, its business shall be

conducted as nearly as possible in the same manner as is provided in these By-laws for the Board of Directors.

(e) Members of a committee of the Board of Directors shall be entitled to receive such compensation for service thereon as may be determined by the Board of Directors and for the payment or reimbursement of any or all expenses incurred by them in connection with such service.

SECTION 2.5. Unless otherwise restricted by the Certificate of Incorporation or these By-Laws, any action required or permitted to be taken at any meeting of the Board of Directors or of any committee thereof may be taken without a meeting if all members of the Board or committee, as the case may be, consent thereto in writing or by electronic transmission, and the writing or writings or a copy of the electronic transmission are filed with the minutes of proceedings of the Board of Directors.

SECTION 4.7. The duties of the Corporation to indemnify and to advance expenses to any person provided in this Article IV shall be in the nature of a contract between the Corporation and each such person, and no amendment or repeal of any provision of this Article IV shall alter, to the detriment of such person, the right of such person to the advancement of expenses or indemnification related to a claim based on an act or omission, or alleged act or omission, which took place prior to such amendment or repeal.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

I have been advised that as of the date hereof I may be deemed to be an “affiliate” of Banknorth Group, Inc., a Maine corporation (“Banknorth”), as the term “affiliate” is defined for purposes of paragraphs (c) and (d) of Rule 145 of the Rules and Regulations (the “Rules and Regulations”) of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). I have been further advised that pursuant to the terms of the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of August 25, 2004 (the “Merger Agreement”), among The Toledo-Dominion Bank, a Canadian chartered bank (“TD”), Berlin Merger Co., a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of TD (“Berlin Mergerco”), Banknorth and Berlin Delaware Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Banknorth (“Banknorth Delaware”), Banknorth will effect a migratory merger by merging with and into Banknorth Delaware (the “Migratory Merger”) and immediately thereafter Berlin Mergerco will merge with and into Banknorth Delaware (the “Acquisition Merger” and, together with the Migratory Merger, the “Mergers”). In connection with the Acquisition Merger, each share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of Banknorth (the “Banknorth Common Stock”) shall be converted into the right to receive (i) 0.2351 of a share of common stock, without par value, of TD (the “TD Common Shares”), (ii) $12.24 in cash and (iii) 0.49 of a share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of Banknorth Delaware (the “Banknorth Delaware Common Stock”), plus cash in lieu of any fractional share interests. All terms used in this letter but not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Merger Agreement.

I represent, warrant and covenant to TD and Banknorth Delaware that in the event I receive any TD Common Shares or Banknorth Delaware Common Stock as a result of the Mergers:

(a) I shall not make any sale, transfer or other disposition of TD Common Shares or Banknorth Delaware Common Stock in violation of the Securities Act or the Rules and Regulations.

(b) I have carefully read this letter and the Merger Agreement and discussed its requirements and other applicable limitations upon my ability to sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of TD Common Shares or Banknorth Delaware Common Stock to the extent I believed necessary with my counsel or counsel for Banknorth.

(c) I have been advised that the issuance of TD Common Shares and shares of Banknorth Delaware Common Stock to me pursuant to the Mergers will be registered with the SEC under the Securities Act on a combined Registration Statement on Form F-4 and S-4. However, I have also been advised that, since at the time the Mergers will be submitted for a vote of the stockholders of Banknorth I may be deemed to have been an affiliate of Banknorth and the distribution by me of TD Common Shares or shares of Banknorth Delaware Common Stock has not been registered under the Securities Act, I may not sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of TD Common Shares or shares of Banknorth Delaware Common Stock issued to me in the Mergers unless (i) such sale, transfer or other disposition has been registered under the Securities Act, (ii) such sale, transfer or other disposition is made in conformity with the volume and other limitations of Rule 145 promulgated by the SEC under the Securities Act, or (iii) in the opinion of counsel reasonably acceptable to TD in the case of a transfer of TD Common Shares and in the opinion of counsel reasonably acceptable to Banknorth Delaware in the case of a transfer of shares of Banknorth Delaware Common Stock, such sale, transfer or other disposition is otherwise exempt from registration under the Securities Act.

(d) I understand that neither TD nor Banknorth Delaware is under any obligation to register the sale, transfer or other disposition of TD Common Shares or shares of Banknorth Delaware Common Stock by me or on my behalf under the Securities Act or to take any other action necessary in order to make compliance with an exemption from such registration available. In the event of a sale, transfer or other disposition pursuant to Rule 145, I will supply TD and Banknorth Delaware with a letter in the form of Annex A hereto evidencing my compliance with such Rule. I understand that each of TD and Banknorth Delaware may instruct its transfer agent to withhold the transfer of any of my TD Common Shares or any of my shares of Banknorth Delaware Common Stock, but that upon receipt of such letter the transfer agent shall effectuate the transfer of such shares indicated as sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of in the letter.

(e) I also understand that stop transfer instructions will be given to TD’s transfer agent with respect to TD Common Shares and to Banknorth Delaware’s transfer agent with respect to the shares of Banknorth Delaware Common Stock and that there will be placed on the stock certificates issued to me, or any substitutions therefor, a legend stating in substance:

“The securities represented by this certificate have been issued in a transaction to which Rule 145 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933 applies and may only be sold or otherwise transferred in compliance with the requirements of Rule 145 or pursuant to a registration statement under said act or an exemption from such registration.”

(f) I also understand that unless the transfer by me of my TD Common Shares or shares of Banknorth Delaware Common Stock has been registered under the Securities Act or is a sale

made in conformity with the provisions of Rule 145, TD and Banknorth Delaware reserve the right to put the following legend on the certificates issued to my transferee:

“The shares represented by this certificate have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933 and were acquired from a person who received such shares in a transaction to which Rule 145 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933 applies. The shares have been acquired by the holder not with a view to, or for resale in connection with, any distribution thereof within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933 and may not be sold, pledged or otherwise transferred except in accordance with an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933.”

It is understood and agreed that the legends set forth above shall be removed by delivery of substitute certificates without such legend, and/or the issuance of a letter to TD’s and Banknorth Delaware’s respective transfer agent removing such stop transfer instructions, and the above restrictions on sale will cease to apply, if (A) one year (or such other period as may be required by Rule 145(d)(2) under the Securities Act or any successor thereto) shall have elapsed from the Closing Date and the provisions of such Rule are then available to me; or (B) if two years (or such other period as may be required by Rule 145(d)(3) under the Securities Act or any successor thereto) shall have elapsed from the Effective Date and the provisions of such Rule are then available to me; or (C) I shall have delivered to TD or Banknorth Delaware, as applicable (i) a copy of a “no-action” or interpretive letter obtained by me from the staff of the SEC, or an opinion of counsel in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to TD or Banknorth Delaware, as applicable, or other evidence reasonably satisfactory to TD or Banknorth Delaware, as applicable, to the effect that such legend and/or stop transfer instructions are not required for purposes of the Securities Act or (ii) reasonably satisfactory evidence or representations that the securities represented by such certificates are being or have been transferred in a transaction made in conformity with the provisions of Rule 145 under the Securities Act or pursuant to an effective registration under the Securities Act.

I recognize and agree that the foregoing provisions also apply to (i) my spouse, (ii) any relative of mine or my spouse occupying my home, (iii) any trust or estate in which I, my spouse or any such relative owns at least 10% beneficial interest or of which any of us serves as trustee, executor or in any similar capacity and (iv) any corporate or other organization in which I, my spouse or any such relative owns at least 10% of any class of equity securities or of the equity interest.

It is understood and agreed that this Letter Agreement shall terminate and be of no further force and effect if the Merger Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms.

Execution of this letter should not be construed as an admission on my part that I am an “affiliate” of Banknorth as described in the first paragraph of this letter or as a waiver of any rights I may have to object to any claim that I am such an affiliate on or after the date of this letter.

On __________________, I sold the [shares of common stock, par value $0.01, of TD Banknorth Inc., a Delaware corporation (“TD Banknorth”)] [common shares, without par value, of The Toronto-Dominion Bank, a Canadian chartered bank (“TD”)] (the “Securities”), described below in the space provided for that purpose. The Securities were received by me in connection with the merger of Berlin Delaware Inc.

Based upon the most recent report or statement filed by [TD Banknorth][TD] with the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Securities were sold in conformity with Rule 145 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”).


		Very truly yours,
