Currency Conversion: If you make a trade involving a security which is

a currency other than the currency of the account, 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 dierence between the applicable bid and ask rates for
the currency and the rate at which the rate is oset either internally,
with a related third party, or in the market. The charge to you and the
revenue earned by us and parties related to us may be higher when a
transaction requires more than one currency conversion or when the
currency is not commonly traded. Conversion of currency, if required,
will take place on the trade or deposit date, as applicable, unless we
agree otherwise.

company is a part of TD, it may earn revenue in connection with such
conversions as described herein, but we do not.
