Nothing contained in this Section 4.3 shall prevent a Stockholder or any Representative of a Stockholder who is a member of the board of directors of Ameritrade from discharging his or her fiduciary duties solely in his or her capacity as a director of Ameritrade, nor shall anything contained in this Section 4.3 prevent a Stockholder or its Representatives from negotiating the terms of a stockholders agreement or similar agreement, or otherwise participating in negotiations together with Ameritrade, in connection with an Acquisition Proposal as to which Ameritrade’s board of directors has made the determination contemplated by the final sentence of Section 5.4(a) of the Share Purchase Agreement and is then pursuing negotiations or discussions with the Person making such Acquisition Proposal.

     4.4.   Notice of Acquisitions, Proposals Regarding Prohibited Transactions. Each Stockholder hereby agrees to notify TD promptly in writing of (i) the number of any additional shares of Common Stock or other securities of Ameritrade of which such Stockholder acquires Beneficial Ownership on or after the date hereof, and (ii) any Permitted Transfers of such Stockholder’s Covered Shares or any interest therein. Each Stockholder will comply with the provisions of the second sentence of Section 5.4(c) of the Share Purchase Agreement as if it were Ameritrade.

     4.5.   Waiver of Conflicts, Rights Under Existing Stockholders Agreement; Termination of Existing Stockholders Agreement. To the extent that any provision of this Agreement, the Share Purchase Agreement or the other Transaction Agreements (as defined in the Share Purchase Agreement) could be deemed to conflict or be inconsistent with the Existing Stockholders Agreement, Ameritrade and each Stockholder hereby waive any such conflict and any claim for breach resulting therefrom and consent to the entering into of this Agreement by each other party to this Agreement who is a party to the Existing Stockholders Agreement. Ameritrade and each Stockholder hereby waive any rights it may have as a result of the entering into of this Agreement by Ameritrade and each other party to this Agreement that is a party to the Existing Stockholders Agreement. Ameritrade and each Stockholder agree that, immediately prior to the Closing, the Existing Stockholders Agreement shall terminate and be of no further force or effect. None of Ameritrade or any Stockholder shall, prior to the Closing, agree to any amendment, modification or termination of the Existing Stockholders Agreement or any waiver of any provision thereof or rights thereunder, except in any such case as expressly provided in this Agreement, or as otherwise consented to in writing by TD (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

10


 

     4.6.   Waiver of Right to Consent to Director Indemnification Agreements and Investor Information Rights Agreements. TD hereby waives its right under the Share Purchase Agreement to consent to agreements that may be entered into between (a) Ameritrade and one or more directors designated by the SLP Investors or the TA Investors with respect to indemnification and insurance matters that will be on customary terms and include mandatory indemnification and a six-year D&O insurance tail and (b) Ameritrade and one or more SLP Investors or TA Investors with respect to venture capital operating company information rights that will be on customary terms.

ARTICLE V

MISCELLANEOUS

     5.1.   Termination. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, this Agreement shall terminate and be of no further force or effect upon the earlier to occur of (i) the Closing and (ii) the date of termination of the Share Purchase Agreement, except that Section 4.5 hereof shall survive any such termination that occurs as a result of the Closing having occurred. Nothing in this Section 5.1 shall relieve or otherwise limit any party of liability for willful breach of this Agreement.

     5.2.   Legends; Stop Transfer Order.

          (a) In furtherance of this Agreement, each Stockholder hereby authorizes and instructs Ameritrade to instruct its transfer agent to enter a stop transfer order with respect to all of such Stockholder’s Covered Shares for the period from the date hereof through the earlier of the Record Date or the date this Agreement is terminated in accordance with Section 5.1. Ameritrade agrees that as promptly as practicable after the date of this Agreement it shall give such stop transfer instructions to the transfer agent for the Common Stock.

          (b) In the event that a Stockholder intends to undertake a Permitted Transfer of such Stockholder’s Covered Shares prior to the Record Date, such Stockholder shall provide notice thereof to Ameritrade and shall authorize and instruct Ameritrade to instruct its transfer agent to (i) lift the stop transfer order in order to effect such Permitted Transfer and (ii) re-enter the stop transfer order upon completion of the Permitted Transfer. Ameritrade agrees that as promptly as practical after the receipt of such notice of a contemplated Permitted Transfer together with a duly executed copy of the applicable Joinder Agreement, it shall instruct the transfer agent for the Common Stock to (x) lift such stop transfer order with respect to such Stockholder’s Covered Shares in order to effect such Permitted Transfer and (y) re-enter the stop transfer order upon completion of the Permitted Transfer; provided that Ameritrade shall not permit such Transfer to be registered by the transfer agent or such stop transfer restrictions to be lifted if TD has not received such duly executed copy of the applicable Joinder Agreement (to the extent one is required by this Agreement) or if Ameritrade or TD otherwise determines that the Transfer to be effected by such Stockholder is not a Permitted Transfer.

          (c) Each certificate representing Covered Shares issued after the date of this Agreement and prior to the earlier of the Record Date or termination of this Agreement shall bear the following legend on the face thereof:

11


 

          “THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE SUBJECT TO RESTRICTIONS ON VOTING, TRANSFER AND CERTAIN OTHER LIMITATIONS SET FORTH IN THAT CERTAIN VOTING AGREEMENT DATED AS OF JUNE 22, 2005, AMONG THE TORONTO-DOMINION BANK, THE STOCKHOLDERS LISTED ON SCHEDULE A THERETO, AND, SOLELY FOR THE PURPOSES OF SECTIONS 4.5 AND 5.2 THEREOF, AMERITRADE HOLDING CORPORATION, AS THE SAME MAY BE AMENDED FROM TIME TO TIME (THE “AGREEMENT”), COPIES OF WHICH AGREEMENT ARE ON FILE AT THE PRINCIPAL OFFICE OF AMERITRADE HOLDING CORPORATION.”

          (d) Upon the request of a Stockholder, Ameritrade shall promptly (and in any event within three business days) remove all legends related to the Existing Stockholders Agreement on any certificate representing shares of Voting Securities Beneficially Owned by such Stockholder if (i) such Voting Securities have been Transferred or (ii) the Closing Date has occurred. Upon the request of an SLP Investor or TA Investor, Ameritrade shall promptly (and in any event within three business days) remove all legends related to compliance with securities laws on any certificate representing shares of Voting Securities Beneficially Owned by such SLP Investor or TA Investor if (i) in the opinion of counsel reasonably acceptable to Ameritrade (which may be Ropes & Gray, LLP), such shares are eligible for sale pursuant to Rule 144(k) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or (ii) such shares have been effectively registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or transferred pursuant to Rule 144 thereunder. Ameritrade will use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with any request from an SLP Investor or TA Investor that it confirm in advance of a proposed Transfer its willingness to remove applicable legends.

     5.3.   No Ownership Interest. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to vest in TD any direct or indirect ownership or incidence of ownership of or with respect to any Covered Shares. All rights, ownership and economic benefits of and relating to the Covered Shares shall remain vested in and belong to the applicable Stockholder, and TD shall have no authority to manage, direct, superintend, restrict, regulate, govern, or administer any of the policies or operations of Ameritrade or exercise any power or authority to direct any Stockholder in the voting of any of the Covered Shares, except as otherwise provided herein.

     5.4.   Notices. All notices and other communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed given if delivered personally, telecopied (upon telephonic confirmation of receipt), on the first Business Day following the date of dispatch if delivered by a recognized next day courier service or on the third Business Day following the date of mailing if delivered by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, post prepaid.

     5.6.   Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed by facsimile, and in separate counterparts each of which shall be an original and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement.

     5.7.   Entire Agreement. Except as otherwise expressly set forth herein, this Agreement and, to the extent a Stockholder is a party thereto, the other Transaction Agreements (and, to the extent referenced herein, the Share Purchase Agreement), together with the several agreements and other documents and instruments to the extent referred to herein or therein, embody the complete agreement and understanding among the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede and preempt any prior understandings, agreements or representations by or among the parties, written and oral, that may have related to the subject matter hereof in any way.

     5.8.   Governing Law; Consent to Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial.

          (a) This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware without giving effect to the principles of conflicts of law. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally consents to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware or, if under applicable law exclusive jurisdiction over the Litigation (as defined below) lies with the courts of the United States, any court of the United States located in the State of Delaware, for any action, suit, proceeding or investigation in any court or before any Governmental Authority (“Litigation”) arising out of or relating to this Agreement and 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 5.8, 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, fetter 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) Each of the parties hereto 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 hereto expressly acknowledges that the foregoing waivers are intended to be irrevocable under the laws of the State of Delaware and of the United

14


 

States of America; provided that consent by the parties to jurisdiction and service contained in this Section 5.8 is solely for the purpose referred to in this Section 5.8 and shall not be deemed to be a general submission to said courts or in the State of Delaware other than for such purpose.

     5.9.   Amendment; Waiver. This Agreement may not be amended except by an instrument in writing signed by each of (i) TD and (ii) on the other hand, (x) with respect to an amendment affecting the R Parties, R Parties holding at least a majority of the Covered Shares then owned of record by the R Parties, in the aggregate, (y) with respect to an amendment affecting the SLP Investors, SLP Investors holding at least a majority of the Covered Shares then owned of record by the SLP Investors, in the aggregate and (z) with respect to an amendment affecting the TA Investors, holding at least a majority of the Covered Shares then owned of record by the TA Investors, in the aggregate. Each party may waive any right of such party hereunder by an instrument in writing signed by such party and delivered to TD, the R Party Representative, the TA Representative and the SLP Representative.

     5.10.   Remedies. (a) Each party hereto acknowledges that monetary damages would not be an adequate remedy in the event that any covenant or agreement in this Agreement is not performed in accordance with its terms, and it is therefore agreed that, in addition to and without limiting any other remedy or right it may have, the non-breaching party will have the right to an injunction, temporary restraining order or other equitable relief in any court of competent jurisdiction enjoining any such breach and enforcing specifically the terms and provisions hereof. Each party hereto agrees not to oppose the granting of such relief in the event a court determines that such a breach has occurred, and to waive any requirement for the securing or posting of any bond in connection with such remedy.

          (b) All rights, powers and remedies provided under this Agreement or otherwise available in respect hereof at law or in equity shall be cumulative and not alternative, and the exercise or beginning of the exercise of any thereof by any party shall not preclude the simultaneous or later exercise of any other such right, power or remedy by such party.

     5.11.   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 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.

     5.12.   Successors and Assigns; Third Party Beneficiaries. Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights or obligations of any party under this Agreement shall be assigned, in whole or in part (by operation of law or otherwise), by any party without the prior written consent of the other parties hereto. Subject to the foregoing, this Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

15


 

Nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to confer on any Person other than the parties hereto or their respective successors and permitted assigns any rights, remedies, obligations or liabilities under or by reason of this Agreement.

     5.13.   Obligations Several

          The representations, warranties and covenants of each of the R Parties (collectively), the SLP Investors (collectively) and the TA Investors (collectively) are several and not joint. None of the R Parties, the SLP Investors or the TA Investors shall be responsible for breaches of this Agreement by Stockholders who are members of such other groups.
