LIMITED WAIVER
SECTION 1.1. Limited Waiver of Section 2.1(c). The parties agree that,
notwithstanding the requirement in Section 2.1(c), until March 31, 2010 or earlier as provided in
Section 1.2 below, so long as the Ownership Percentage of TD (rounded to the nearest one hundredth
of one percent) does not exceed (a) the Current TD Ownership Percentage or (b) at any time
following the date hereof, in the event the Company commences a stock buy-back plan prior to March
31, 2010, which is the sole cause of an increase in the Ownership Percentage of TD, 45.4% of the
Total Voting Power (the “Company Buy-back TD Ownership Percentage”), TD shall not be
required to reduce the number of Voting Securities Beneficially Owned by TD. All other provisions
of Section 2.1(c) remain in full force and effect, including, without limitation, the provision
whereby TD shall not, and shall not cause any of its Affiliates to, exercise any voting rights in
respect of any Voting Securities Beneficially Owned by such Person to the extent such Voting
Securities exceed the TD Ownership Limitation Percentage (including, for the avoidance of doubt,
any Voting Securities that are the subject of this Limited Waiver), or alternatively, upon the
request of the Company, shall cause such shares in excess of the TD
Ownership Limitation Percentage to be voted, on any matter submitted to the holders of the Common
Stock for a vote, in the same proportions as the votes cast by all holders of Common Stock other
than TD, the R Parties and their respective Affiliates, and nothing in this Limited Waiver shall in
any way increase the TD Ownership Limitation Percentage.
SECTION 1.2. Termination. This Limited Waiver shall terminate without any further
action by any of the parties hereto and shall have no further force and effect immediately on the
first to occur of (a) at any time prior to March 31, 2010 the Ownership Percentage of TD (rounded
to the tenth of one percent) exceeds either (i) the Current TD Ownership Percentage or (ii) the
Company Buy-Back TD Ownership Percentage, as applicable and (b) March 31, 2010. Upon such
termination, TD shall be required to comply with the sell-down provisions of Section 2.1(c).
