	•		all of the shares it holds in TDDH representing 100% of the outstanding limited liability company interests of TDDH (the “TDDH Shares”);
	•		all of the shares it holds in TDD Hedge representing 100% of the outstanding limited liability company interests of TDD Hedge (the “TDD Hedge Shares”);

the TDDA Shares, the TDDH Shares and the TDD Hedge Shares are referred to hereafter as the “Contributed Shares”.

E. The Subscriber agrees to subscribe for the share capital of the Issuer by contributing the Contributed Shares under the terms and conditions contained in this agreement (the “Contribution and Subscription Agreement”).

IT IS AGREED as follows:

1. CONTRIBUTION

The Subscriber hereby agrees, under the terms and conditions set forth herein, to transfer and convey to the Issuer all of its rights, title and interest in and to the Contributed Shares.

3

2.		TRANSFER OF CONTRIBUTED ASSETS
		The transfer of full ownership of the Contributed Shares is subject to, and shall take place on, completion of the incorporation of the Issuer (the “Incorporation”) to be decided before a Luxembourg notary on July 28, 2010 (the “Effective Date”). Any rights attached to the Contributed Shares shall accrue to the Issuer as of the Effective Date.
3.		CONSIDERATION
		The Parties agree that the value of the Contributed Shares is set at USD 4,230,216,259 (four billion two hundred and thirty million two hundred and sixteen thousand two hundred and fifty-nine US Dollars) (the “Contribution Value”).
		The Subscriber and the Issuer confirm that the Contribution Value is intended to be the fair market value of the Contributed Shares at the close of business in New York on the day prior to the Effective Date. For greater certainty, calculation of the fair market value will include the fair market value of the shares of TD AMERITRADE Holding Corporation based on the closing price of such shares as quoted on the NASDAQ on the last trading day in New York before the Effective Date. If any taxing authority having jurisdiction asserts, by assessment or reassessment, proposed assessment or reassessment or otherwise, that the fair market value of the Contributed Shares differs from the Contribution Value, including an assessment or reassessment of tax on the basis that any gift, benefit or advantage is or has been conferred on any person by reason of the contribution of the Contributed Shares provided for herein, then the Contribution Value will be increased or decreased, as the case may be, to an amount equal to the fair market value of the Contributed Shares that:

	(a)		is agreed upon by such taxing authority, the Subscriber and the Issuer in settlement of such proceeding;
	(b)		serves as the basis for such proceeding against which no defence or appeal is taken; or

4

(c) is established by a court or tribunal of competent jurisdiction on the defence of or appeal from such proceeding after all rights of appeal have been exhausted or after all times for appeal have expired without appeals having been taken by any of the parties hereto or such taxing authority.

		The Contribution Value as so adjusted will be deemed to be and always to have been the amount so determined.
		The consideration for the contribution of the Contributed Shares by the Subscriber will consist of and be satisfied by the issuance of 1,000,000 shares without nominal value in the capital of the Issuer, subject to the payment of a global share premium of an amount of 4,230,192,259, fully subscribed by, and issued by the Issuer to, the Subscriber upon the Incorporation.
