6.Terms of Options

 

Awards of Options shall be subject to such terms and conditions which the Committee shall establish, including the following:

 

(a)Option Price:

The Option Price for each Option granted shall be determined by the Committee but in no event shall the Option Price be less than the Fair Market Value on the last date on which Shares were traded on the TSX before the date the Option was granted.

(b)Period of Exercise:

The Committee shall determine the Vesting Date (for cliff vesting) or Vesting Dates (for graduated vesting) after which Options may be exercised in whole or in part; provided however, that no Option shall be exercisable later than its Expiry Date. The Committee may in its discretion amend an Option to accelerate its Vesting Date. An Option which has not been exercised on or prior to its Expiry Date shall be cancelled.

(c)Black Out Period:

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plan, if an Option (other than an Option held by a Participant who is subject to U.S. federal income taxes with respect to such Option) expires during a Black Out Period or during the 10 TSX trading days following the last day of a Black Out Period, then, in either event, the Expiry Date for the Option shall be the last day of the 10 TSX trading day period following the Black Out Period; provided however, that the Expiry Date shall not be extended for more than twelve months from the original Expiry Date of the Option. For greater certainty, to the extent an Option is held by a Participant who is subject to U.S. federal income taxes with respect to such Option, the Expiry Date of such Option may not be extended even if the original Expiry Date falls within a Black Out Period.

(d)Manner of Exercise and Payment:

Options may be exercised in whole or in part either electronically under procedures established by the Administrator or by delivery of a written notice of exercise to the Bank in accordance with any applicable Regulation specifying the number of Shares to be purchased and payment of the full Option Price of the Shares being purchased pursuant to the Option.

7.Terms of Stock Appreciation Rights

 

Awards of SARs shall be subject to such terms and conditions which the Committee shall establish, including the following:

 

(a)Grants:

The Committee may grant (i) a SAR independent of an Option, or (ii) a SAR in connection with an Option, or a portion thereof. A SAR granted pursuant to clause (ii) of the preceding sentence (A) may be granted at the time the related Option is granted or at any time prior to the exercise or cancellation of the related Option, (B) shall cover the same Shares covered by an Option (or such lesser number of Shares as the Committee may determine), and (C) shall be subject to the same terms and conditions as such Option except for such additional limitations as are contemplated by this Section 7.

(b)Exercise Price:

The exercise price per Share of a SAR shall be an amount determined by the Committee but in no event shall be less than the greater of (i) the Fair Market Value of a Share on the last date on which Shares were traded on the TSX before the date the SAR was granted or, in the case of a SAR granted in conjunction with an Option, or a portion thereof, the Option Price of the related Option, and (ii) a minimum amount permitted by applicable laws, rules, by-laws or policies of regulatory authorities or stock exchanges. Each SAR granted independent of an Option shall entitle a Participant upon exercise to an amount equal to the excess of (A) the Fair Market Value on the exercise date of one Share over (B) the exercise price per Share. Each SAR granted in conjunction with an Option, or a portion thereof, shall entitle a Participant to surrender to the Bank the unexercised Option, or any portion thereof, and to receive from the Bank in exchange therefor an amount equal to the excess of (A) the Fair Market Value on the exercise date of one Share over (B) the Option Price per Share covered by the Option which is surrendered.

(c)Manner of Exercise and Payment:

SARs may be exercised from time to time upon actual receipt by the Bank of written notice of exercise stating the number of Shares with respect to which the SAR is being exercised. The date a notice of exercise is received by the Bank shall be the exercise date. Payment shall be made in Shares or in cash, or partly in Shares and partly in cash (any such Shares valued at such Fair Market Value), all as shall be determined by the Committee. No fractional Shares will be issued in payment for SARs, but instead cash will be paid for a fraction.

(d)Limitations:

The Committee may impose, in its discretion, such conditions upon the exercisability or transferability of SARs as it may deem fit.

 

 

8.Other Stock-Based Awards

 

The Committee, in its sole discretion, may grant to Participants Awards of Shares, Awards of restricted Shares and Awards that are valued in whole or in part by reference to, or are otherwise based on the Fair Market Value of, Shares on the last date on which Shares were traded on the TSX before the date such Award was granted (“Other Stock-Based Awards”). Other Stock-Based Awards shall be in such form, and dependent on such conditions, as the Committee shall determine, including, without limitation, the right to receive one or more Shares (or the equivalent cash value of such Shares) upon the completion of a specified period of service, the occurrence of an event, or the attainment of performance objectives. Other Stock-Based Awards may be granted alone or in addition to any other Award granted under the Plan. Subject to the provisions of the Plan, the Committee shall determine to whom and when Other Stock-Based Awards will be made; the number of Shares to be awarded under (or otherwise related to) the Other Stock-Based Awards; whether the Other Stock-Based Awards shall be settled in cash, Shares or a combination of cash and Shares; and all other terms and conditions of the Other Stock-Based Awards, including, without limitation, the vesting provisions thereof and provisions ensuring that all Shares so awarded and issued shall be fully paid and non-assessable.

9.Participation Agreement

 

An Award shall be evidenced by a Participation Agreement. The Participation Agreement shall be subject to the applicable provisions of the Plan and the Regulations, and shall contain such provisions as are required by the Plan and any other provisions the Administrator may prescribe.

 

 

10.Non-transferability of Awards

 

(a)Each Award shall, during the Participant's lifetime, be exercisable only by the Participant, subject to Section 10(b) hereof, and the Award and any rights thereunder shall not be transferable otherwise than by will and the laws of succession, and shall not be subject to attachment, execution or other similar process; provided, however, that to the extent permitted by applicable law and with the consent of the Administrator, with respect to any Award, a Participant may designate a beneficiary pursuant to procedures which may be established by the Administrator. Participants are also specifically prohibited from entering into any transaction that is designed to, or has the effect of, hedging or offsetting a decrease in the market value of any particular Award. In the event of any attempt by the Participant to alienate, assign, pledge, hypothecate or otherwise dispose of an Award or of any right under the Plan, or any attempt to hedge or transact with the intent of offsetting potential losses associated with a particular Award, or in the event of any levy or any attachment, execution or similar process upon the rights or interest hereby conferred, the Bank may terminate the Award by notice to the Participant and the Award shall thereupon be cancelled.
(b)No Awards may be assigned without the consent of the Administrator. Where the Administrator consents to an assignment and where permitted by law, a Participant may assign Awards to a Permitted Assign of the Participant and Awards are exercisable by the Permitted Assign of a Participant. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this paragraph 10(b), Options which are “incentive stock options” as defined for the purposes of tax, securities or other applicable laws of the U.S. may not be assigned.

 

 

11.Termination of Awards

 

(a)For all Awards granted under the Plan, the following shall apply:

 

(i)Resignation:

If a Participant’s Service is terminated as a result of resignation, any outstanding Awards granted to the Participant which are exercisable at the Termination Date may be exercised at any time on or before the expiration of 30 days following such date, or such later date as determined by the Administrator, in his or her discretion, from time to time. After that time all unexercised Awards shall be forfeited. All Awards that are not exercisable at the Termination Date shall be forfeited immediately. With respect to Awards subject to a Retention Period, if a Participant’s Service is terminated as a result of resignation during a Retention Period, the portion of such Award subject to such Retention Period may be exercised at any time on or before the expiration of 30 days following the Retention Period End Date, or such later date as determined by the Administrator, in his or her discretion, from time to time.

ii.For an Award with Graduated Vesting which is subject to a Retention Period, the following will apply: no Award exercisable by a Participant may be exercised after the following date: (A) the later of 90 days after the last Retention Period End Date of such Award or 90 days after the Termination Date, or (B) such later date as determined by the Administrator, in his or her discretion, from time to time.
(iv)Retirement:

Notwithstanding Section 11(a)(i), if a Participant who resigns from Service meets the conditions of Retirement as of the Termination Date, all Awards granted to such a retired Participant will remain outstanding and will become exercisable in accordance with their terms.

(v)Election to be Treated as a Retiree:

Notwithstanding Section 11(a)(iii), if a Participant whose Service is terminated without cause would have been able to initiate Retirement treatment under Section 2(dd)(i) had the Participant's Service not been terminated without cause, the Participant shall be permitted to elect to have his or her termination of Service be treated as a Retirement for the purposes of the Plan, and therefore shall be subject to section 11(a)(iv) and any other provisions of the Plan applicable to retirees. Such treatment as a retiree does not extend beyond the purposes of the Plan.

(vi)Death or Disability:

If a Participant’s Service is terminated as a result of death or permanent disability (determined in accordance with the applicable disability policies of the Employer), all Awards then held by such Participant shall be exercisable from the date of death or permanent disability to the earlier of (A) the Expiry Date for each such Award, and (B) the date that is three years after the date of death or permanent disability, or (C) such later date as determined by the Administrator, in his or her discretion, from time to time.

(b)Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 11:

 

(i)no Award may be exercised later than the Expiry Date;
(ii)the Administrator has the discretion and authority to: (A) amend the exercise terms of Awards granted to any Person whose employment by the Employer has ceased for any reason, including by accelerating the exercise dates of such Awards in any circumstances considered appropriate by the Administrator; and (B) cancel any Awards granted to any such Person who is determined by the Administrator to be engaged in activities which are competitive with those of the Employer or any of its Subsidiaries or affiliates. For greater certainty, no damages shall be recoverable by a Participant and no compensation shall be paid to a Participant with respect to any amendments or cancellations of Awards by the Administrator or with respect to any rights or benefits the Participant would otherwise have been entitled to under this Plan;
(iii)the Committee may cancel any unvested Awards for any reason as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion;
(iv)the Committee may require a clawback to be applied to any unvested or vested Awards, and to any Awards granted after December 1, 2017 that have been exercised, in the event of (A) a restatement of financial results due to a material misrepresentation (as determined by the Board), or (B) a material error of any kind relating to such Awards, in either case where such event occurs within the previous 36 months;
(v)for Awards granted on or after December 1, 2017, the Committee may require a clawback to be applied to any unvested or vested Awards, either outstanding or exercised by a Participant in the 36 months preceding the determination that such Participant had engaged in activity or conduct such as (A) a violation of any current or future law, regulation or rule applicable to TD or a Participant, or (B) any other Participant conduct constituting cause for discipline or dismissal, as described in section 8.b)(i) of the Regulations; and

(vi)the Committee may require a clawback to be applied to any unvested or vested Award (either outstanding or exercised) when otherwise required by any current or future law, regulation, or rule of any self-regulatory organization of which TD or one of its affiliates is a member, or any exchange or market on which securities of TD are listed.

 

 

12.Withholding Taxes

 

The Bank may require a Participant to pay to the Bank the amount that the Bank deems necessary to satisfy its obligation to withhold federal, provincial, state or local income or other taxes arising in respect of the grant of Awards or their exercise. Such amount may be satisfied by the withholding by the Bank of Shares or any cash amounts which would otherwise be delivered upon the exercise of an Award.

(c)Notwithstanding other provisions of the Plan or any Participation Agreements thereunder, no Award shall be granted, deferred, accelerated, extended, paid out or modified under this Plan in a manner that would result in the imposition of an additional tax under Section 409A upon a Participant. In the event that (i) it is reasonably determined by the Board, the Committee, or the Administrator, as appropriate, that, as a result of Section 409A, payments in respect of any Award under the Plan may not be made at the time contemplated by the terms of the Plan or the relevant Participation Agreement, as the case may be, without causing the Participant holding such Award to be subject to taxation under Section 409A, the Bank or the Employer (as the case may be) will make such payment on the first day that would not result in the Participant incurring any tax liability under Section 409A, and (ii) at the time of a Participant’s Termination Date such Participant is a “specified employee” within the meaning of Section 409A and the deferral of the commencement of any payments or benefits otherwise payable hereunder as a result of such termination of employment is necessary in order to prevent any accelerated or additional tax under Section 409A, then the commencement of the payment of any such payments or benefits hereunder (without any reduction in such payments or benefits ultimately paid or provided to the Participant) will be deferred until the date that is six months plus one day after the Participant’s Termination Date (or the earliest date as is permitted under Section 409A). The Bank shall use commercially reasonable efforts to implement the provisions of this Section 15(c) in good faith; provided that neither TD, the Bank, any Subsidiary, the Committee nor any employees, directors or representatives of TD, the Bank, or any Subsidiary shall have any liability to Participants due to the failure of the Plan to satisfy the requirements of Section 409A.

The right of the Employer to terminate at will (whether by dismissal, discharge or otherwise) any Participant’s Service with it at any time is specifically reserved. Neither the Participant nor any Person entitled to exercise the Participant’s rights in the event of the Participant’s death shall have any rights of a shareholder with respect to the Shares subject to each Award granted, except to the extent of, and until, the exercise of each such Award.
