     (10) DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES. If an Event of Default with respect to the Securities of this series shall occur and be continuing, the principal of the Securities of this series may be declared due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture.
     (11) TRUSTEE DEALINGS WITH COMPANY. The Trustee, in its individual or any other capacity, may make loans to, accept deposits from, and perform services for the Company or its Affiliates, and may otherwise deal with the Company or its Affiliates, as if it were not the Trustee.
     (12) NO RECOURSE AGAINST OTHERS.

     Capitalized terms used herein have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture referred to below unless otherwise indicated.
     (1) INTEREST. TD AMERITRADE Holding Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), promises to pay interest on the principal amount of this Security at 5.600% per annum from November 25, 2009 until maturity. The Company will pay interest semiannually in arrears on June 1 and December 1 of each year, or if any such day is not a Business Day, on the next succeeding Business Day (each, an “Interest Payment Date”). Interest on the Securities will accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or, if no interest has been paid, from the Original Issue Date; provided that the first Interest Payment Date shall be June 1, 2010. The Company will pay interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue principal and premium, if any, from time to time on demand at a rate that is 1% per annum in excess of 5.600% to the extent lawful; it will pay interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue instalments of interest (without regard to any applicable grace periods) from time to time on demand at a rate that is 1% per annum in excess of 5.600% to the extent lawful. Interest accrued on the Securities from the last Interest Payment Date before the 2019 Maturity Date shall be payable on the 2019 Maturity Date. Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months.
     (2) METHOD OF PAYMENT. The Company will pay interest on the Securities (except defaulted interest) to the Persons who are registered Holders of Securities at the close of business on the May 15 or November 15 next preceding the Interest Payment Date, even if such Securities are cancelled after such record date and on or before such Interest Payment Date, except as provided in Section 2.13 of the Indenture with respect to defaulted interest; provided that interest payable on the 2019 Maturity Date or upon redemption will be paid to the Person to whom principal is payable. The Securities will be payable as to principal, premium, if any, and interest at the office or agency of the Company maintained for such purpose within or without the City and State of New York, or, at the option of the Company, payment of interest may be made by check mailed to the Holders at their addresses set forth in the register of Holders; provided that payment by wire transfer of immediately available funds will be required with respect to principal of and interest and premium, if any, on, all Securities the Holders of which will have provided wire transfer instructions to the Company or the Paying Agent; provided further, that while the Securities are represented by one or more Registered Global Securities registered in the name of the Depositary, or its nominee, the Company will cause payments of principal and interest on such Registered Global Securities to be made to the Depositary or its nominee, as the case may be, by wire transfer to the extent, in the funds and in the manner required by agreements with, or regulations or procedures prescribed from time to time by the Depositary or its nominee, and otherwise in accordance with such agreements, regulations or procedures. Such payment will be in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts.

The Company may change any Paying Agent or Registrar without notice to any Holder. The Company or any of its Subsidiaries may act in any such capacity.
     (4) INDENTURE. The Company issued the Securities under an Indenture dated as of November 19, 2009 (as supplemented by the First Supplemental Indenture dated as of November 25, 2009, the “Indenture”) among the Company, the Subsidiary Guarantor and the Trustee. The terms of the Securities include those stated in the Indenture and those made part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act (the “TIA”). The Securities are subject to all such terms, and Holders are referred to the Indenture and the TIA for a statement of such terms. To the extent any provision of this Security conflicts with the express provisions of the Indenture, the provisions of the Indenture shall govern and be controlling. The Securities are unsecured obligations of the Company. The Indenture does not limit the aggregate principal amount of Securities that may be issued thereunder.
     (5) OPTIONAL REDEMPTION.
          (a) The Company may redeem all or a part of the Securities at a redemption price equal to the greater of (i) 100% of the principal amount of the Securities to be redeemed and (ii) as determined by the Quotation Agent, the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest on the Securities to be redeemed (excluding any portion of such payments of interest accrued and unpaid as of the date of redemption), discounted to the date of redemption on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year, consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Treasury Rate plus 35 basis points, plus, in each case, accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the date of redemption.
          (b) Unless the Company defaults in payment of the redemption price, on and after the date of redemption, interest will cease to accrue on the Securities or portions thereof called for redemption.
          (c) Any redemption pursuant to Article 3 of the Indenture shall be made pursuant to the provisions of Article 5 of the Supplemental Indenture and Sections 3.01 through 3.05 of the Indenture.
     (6) NOTICE OF REDEMPTION. Notice of redemption will be mailed at least 30 days but not more than 60 days before the redemption date to each Holder whose Securities are to be redeemed at its registered address, except that redemption notices may be mailed more than 60 days prior to a date fixed for redemption if the notice is issued in connection with a defeasance of the Securities or a satisfaction and discharge of the Indenture. Securities in denominations larger than $2,000 may be redeemed in part but only in whole multiples of $1,000, unless all of the Securities held by a Holder are to be redeemed.
     (7) DENOMINATIONS, TRANSFER, EXCHANGE. The Securities are in registered form without coupons in denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess of $2,000. The transfer of Securities may be registered and Securities may be exchanged as provided in the Indenture. The Registrar and the Trustee may require a Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents and the Company may require a Holder to pay any taxes and fees required by law or permitted by the Indenture. The Company need not exchange or register the transfer of any Security or portion of a Security selected for redemption, except for the unredeemed portion of any Security being redeemed in part. Also, the Company need not exchange or register the transfer of any Securities for a period of 15 days before a selection of Securities to be redeemed or during the period between a record date and the corresponding Interest Payment Date.
