FOREIGN CURRENCY CONVERSION

If you make a trade involving a security which is denominated in a currency other than the account in which the trade is to settle, a conversion of currency may be required. In all such transactions and at any time a conversion of currency is made, we will act as principal with you in converting the currency at rates established or determined by us or parties related to us. We and the parties related to us may earn revenue, in addition to the commission applicable to such a trade, based on the difference between the applicable bid and ask rates for the currency and the rate at which the rate is offset, either internally, with a related third party, or in the market. Conversion of currency, if required, will take place at the trade date unless otherwise agreed.

Where a transaction with a mutual fund company involves a currency conversion, the company may charge you for the conversion. Where the company is not a member of the TD Bank Financial Group, neither we nor any party related to us earns any revenue in connection with such conversions. Where the company is a member of the TD Bank Financial Group, it may earn revenue in connection with such conversions as described herein, but we do not.

For rates, please telephone TD Waterhouse Discount Brokerage at 1-800-465-5463 or contact your local TD Waterhouse office.
