Ladies and Gentlemen:

The Toronto-Dominion Bank, a Canadian chartered bank (the “Bank”), proposes to issue and sell to the several underwriters listed in Schedule I hereto (the “Underwriters”), for whom TD Securities (USA) LLC (“TD Securities”) is acting as the representative (the “Representative”), US$750,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the Bank’s 7.250% Fixed Rate Reset Limited Recourse Capital Notes, Series 4 (Non-Viability Contingent Capital (NVCC)) (subordinated indebtedness) (the “Notes”). The Notes will be issued under an indenture dated as of September 15, 2016 (the “Base Indenture”) among the Bank, Computershare Trust Company, National Association (the “U.S. Trustee”) and Computershare Trust Company of Canada (together with the U.S. Trustee, the “Trustees”), as supplemented by the Third Supplemental Indenture to be dated as of the Closing Date (as defined below) (the “Third Supplemental Indenture” and, together with the Base Indenture, the “Indenture”) among the Bank and the Trustees.

In addition, the Bank will create, authorize and issue to Computershare Trust Company of Canada (the “Limited Recourse Trustee”), in its capacity as trustee of TD LRCN Limited Recourse Trust (the “Limited Recourse Trust”), 750,000 Non-Cumulative 7.250% Fixed Rate Reset Preferred Shares (Non-Viability Contingent Capital (NVCC)) (the “Series 31 Shares” and, together with the Notes, the “Securities”) and authorize and reserve for issuance a number of common shares of the Bank (the “Common Shares”) equal to the number of Common Shares into which the Series 31 Shares will be converted upon a Trigger Event (as defined in the Third Supplemental Indenture). The Common Shares into which the Series 31 Shares may be converted are referred herein as the “Conversion Shares.”

The Bank acknowledges and agrees that TD Securities may use the Prospectus (as defined below) in connection with offers and sales of the Notes in market-making transactions as contemplated in the Basic Prospectus (as defined below) under the caption “Plan of Distribution (Conflicts of Interest)” and in the Prospectus (as defined below) under the caption “Underwriting (Conflicts of Interest)” (“Secondary Market Transactions”). The Bank further acknowledges and agrees that TD Securities is under no obligation to effect any Secondary Market Transactions, and, if it does so, it may discontinue effecting such transactions at any time without providing any notice to the Bank.

1. Representations and Warranties of the Bank. The Bank represents and warrants to, and agrees with, each Underwriter the following:

(a) the Bank meets the requirements for use of Form F-3 (“Form F-3”) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) thereunder (collectively, the “Act”), and has filed a registration statement including a prospectus on Form F-3 (File No. 333-262557) in respect of securities of the Bank, including the Notes, with the Commission; the various parts of such registration statement, including all exhibits thereto and the documents incorporated by reference in the prospectus contained in the registration statement at the time such part of the registration statement became effective, are hereinafter called the “Registration Statement;” such Registration Statement (including any pre-effective amendment thereto) and any post-effective amendment thereto, each in the form heretofore delivered to the Underwriters, has been declared effective by the Commission in such form; no other document with respect to such Registration Statement or document incorporated by reference therein has heretofore been filed or transmitted for filing with the Commission, except for any documents filed with the Commission subsequent to the date of such effectiveness and available on the Commission’s website; and no stop order suspending the effectiveness of such Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto has been issued, and no proceeding for that purpose or pursuant to Section 8A of the Act against the Bank or related to the offering of the Securities has been initiated or, to the knowledge of the Bank, threatened by the Commission.

The base prospectus covering the Securities dated March 4, 2022 included in such Registration Statement, in the form first used to confirm sales of the Notes (or in the form first made available to the Underwriters by the Bank to meet requests of purchasers pursuant to Rule 173 under the Act) is hereinafter referred to as the “Basic Prospectus.” The Basic Prospectus, as supplemented by the prospectus supplement dated June 24, 2024 (the “Prospectus Supplement”) specifically relating to the offering of the Notes and the Series 31 Shares, in the form first used to confirm sales of the Notes (or in the form first made available to the Underwriters by the Bank to meet requests of purchasers pursuant to Rule 173 under the Act), is hereinafter referred to as the “Prospectus;” the term “Preliminary Prospectus” means the Basic Prospectus, as supplemented by the preliminary prospectus supplement dated June 24, 2024, or any preliminary form of the Prospectus; unless otherwise specified, any reference herein to any Preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus shall be deemed to refer to and include the documents incorporated by reference therein pursuant to Item 6 of Form F-3 under the Act, as of the

(iii) that before preparing, using, authorizing, approving, referring to or filing any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, the Bank will deliver to the Representative a copy of the proposed Issuer Free Writing Prospectus for review and, except as required by law, will not prepare, use, authorize, approve, refer to or file any such Issuer Free Writing Prospectus to which the Representative reasonably objects;

(iv) to prepare a final term sheet with respect to the Notes and the Series 31 Shares in a form previously approved by the Representative and to file such final term sheet (or components thereof, as the case may be) with the Commission within such time as may be required by the Act;

(vi) in the event of the issuance of any such stop order or of any such order preventing or suspending the use of the Preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus relating to the Notes or the Series 31 Shares, or suspending any such qualification (or if any such action is known to be pending), to use promptly its reasonable best efforts to obtain its withdrawal (or prevent its issuance);

(b) from time to time to take such action as the Representative may reasonably request to qualify the Notes for offering and sale under the securities laws of such states of the United States of America as the Representative may reasonably request and to comply with such laws so as to permit the continuance of sales and dealings therein in such jurisdictions for as long as may be necessary to complete the distribution of the Notes (including, in the case of TD Securities, in any Secondary Market Transactions during the Secondary Transactions Period), provided that in connection therewith the Bank shall not be required to file a prospectus or equivalent document or to qualify as a foreign corporation or to subject itself to taxation as doing business or to file a general consent to service of process in any jurisdiction;

(c) (i) during the Prospectus Delivery Period (as defined below), to deliver the Underwriters with copies of the Prospectus as amended or supplemented and of each Issuer Free Writing Prospectus in such quantities as the Underwriters may reasonably request; as used herein, the term “Prospectus Delivery Period” means such period of time within which a prospectus relating to the Notes is required by law to be delivered (or required to be delivered but for Rule 172 under the Act) in connection with sales of the Notes by the Underwriters or any dealer;

(ii) if at any time prior to the Time of Delivery any event shall occur or condition shall exist as a result of which the Time of Sale Information as then amended or supplemented would include any untrue statement of a Material Fact or omit to state any Material Fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances, not misleading or it is necessary to amend or supplement the Time of Sale Information to comply with law, the Bank will immediately notify the Underwriters thereof and forthwith prepare and, subject to paragraph (a) above, file with the

12

Commission (to the extent required) an amendment or supplement to the Time of Sale Information that will correct such statement or omission or effect such compliance and deliver without charge to the Underwriters and to such dealers as the Underwriters may designate as many copies as it may reasonably request of such amendment or supplement;

Upon receipt of any such notice, TD Securities shall cease using the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto in connection with Secondary Market Transactions until it receives notice from the Bank that it may resume using such document (or such document as it may be amended or supplemented);

(d) if not available on EDGAR, the Bank will make generally available to its security holders and the Underwriters as soon as practicable an earning statement that satisfies the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Act and Rule 158 of the Commission promulgated thereunder covering a period of at least twelve months beginning with the first fiscal quarter of the Bank occurring after the “effective date” (as defined in Rule 158) of the Registration Statement;

(e) so long as any Notes are outstanding, if not available on EDGAR, to deliver to the Underwriters copies of all reports or other communications (financial or other) delivered to stockholders generally, and to deliver to the Underwriters as soon as they are available, copies of any reports and financial statements furnished to or filed with the Commission or any national securities exchange on which any class of securities of the Bank is listed;

13

(f) that from the date of this Agreement and continuing to and including the Time of Delivery, the Bank will not, without the prior written consent of the Underwriters, offer, sell, contract to sell or otherwise dispose of any debt securities of the Bank which are substantially similar to the Notes except pursuant to this Agreement, or except in an offering of Notes that is not and is not required to be registered under the Act (other than in Secondary Market Transactions);

(g) the Bank acknowledges and agrees that the Underwriters are acting solely in the capacity of an arm’s-length contractual counterparty to the Bank with respect to the offering of the Notes contemplated hereby (including in connection with determining the terms of the offering) and not as financial advisors or fiduciaries to the Bank or any other person; additionally, the Underwriters are not advising the Bank or any other person as to any legal, tax, investment, accounting or regulatory matters in any jurisdiction; the Bank shall consult with its own advisors concerning such matters and shall be responsible for making its own independent investigation and appraisal of the transactions contemplated hereby, and the Underwriters shall have no responsibility or liability to the Bank with respect thereto; any review by the Underwriters of the Bank, the transactions contemplated hereby or other matters relating to such transactions will be performed solely for the benefit of the Underwriters and shall not be on behalf of the Bank;

(h) to use its commercially reasonable efforts to list, within 30 days from the Closing Date, subject to notice of issuance if applicable, the Conversion Shares into which the Series 31 Shares may be converted upon the occurrence of a Trigger Event, on the Toronto Stock Exchange (the “TSX”) and the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”). The Bank will use its commercially reasonable efforts to maintain the listing of such Conversion Shares on the TSX and the NYSE; and

(i) to reserve and keep available enough Common Shares for the purpose of enabling the Bank to satisfy its obligations to issue the Conversion Shares upon conversion of the Series 31 Shares.

6. Certain Agreements of the Underwriters. Each Underwriter hereby represents and agrees as follows, provided, however, that the covenant and agreement contained in Section 6(d) hereof is made solely by TD Securities:

(a) it has not and will not use, authorize use of, refer to, or participate in the planning for use of, any “free writing prospectus,” as defined in Rule 405 under the Act (which term includes use of any written information furnished to the Commission by the Bank and not incorporated by reference into the Registration Statement and any press release issued by the Bank) other than (i) a free writing prospectus not required to be filed by the Bank with the Commission or retained by the Bank under Rule 433 under the Act, (ii) any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus listed on Schedule II hereto or other agreement in respect of the offering of Notes in the form of Schedule II hereto or prepared pursuant to Section 5(a) hereof or (iii) any free writing prospectus prepared by the Underwriters and approved by the Bank in advance in writing;

14

(b) it has not and will not distribute any free writing prospectus referred to in clause (a)(i) above in a manner reasonably designed to lead to its broad unrestricted dissemination;

(d) it will file or cause to be filed, in accordance with the requirements of NI 45-106, applicable private placement notices in connection with exempt sales of the Notes in the Qualifying Provinces;

(e) it will, pursuant to reasonable procedures developed in good faith, retain copies of each free writing prospectus used or referred to by it, in accordance with Rule 433 under the Act; and

7. Payment of Certain Expenses. The Bank covenants and agrees with the Underwriters that the Bank will pay or cause to be paid the following: (i) the fees, disbursements and expenses of the Bank’s counsel and accountants in connection with the registration of the Notes and Series 31 Shares under the Act and all other expenses in connection with the preparation, printing and filing of the Registration Statement, any Preliminary Prospectus, the Prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, any Time of Sale Information and all other amendments and supplements thereto and the mailing and delivering of copies thereof to the Underwriters; (ii) the cost of printing or producing this Agreement, the Indenture, any blue sky memorandum, closing documents (including any compilations thereof) and any other documents in connection with the offering, purchase, sale and delivery of the Notes and the Series 31 Shares; (iii) all expenses in connection with the qualification of the Notes and the Series 31 Shares for offering and sale under state securities laws as provided in Section 5(b) hereof, including the fees and disbursements of counsel for the Underwriters in connection with such qualification and in connection with any blue sky memorandum; (iv) any fees charged by securities rating services for rating the Notes and the Series 31 Shares; (v) any filing fees incident to, and the fees and disbursements of counsel for the Underwriters in connection with, any required review by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. of the terms of the sale of the Notes; (vi) the cost of preparing the Notes and the Series 31 Shares; (vii) the fees and expenses of the Trustees and any agent of the Trustees and any transfer or paying agent of the Bank and the fees and disbursements of counsel for the Trustees or such agent in connection with the Indenture, the Notes and the Series 31 Shares; and (viii) all other costs and expenses incident

15

to the performance of its obligations hereunder which are not otherwise specifically provided for in this Section. It is understood, however, that, except as provided in this Section, the Underwriters will pay all of their own costs and expenses, including the fees of their counsel, transfer taxes on resale of any of the Notes by them, and any advertising expenses connected with any offers of the Notes they may make.

8. Conditions to the Obligations of the Underwriters. The obligations of the Underwriters to purchase Notes from the Bank pursuant to this Agreement shall be subject, in the Underwriters’ discretion, to the condition that all representations and warranties and other statements of the Bank herein are true and correct at and as of the Time of Delivery; the condition that prior to the Time of Delivery, the Bank shall have performed all of its obligations hereunder theretofore to be performed; and the following additional conditions:

(a) (i) The Registration Statement (or if a post-effective amendment thereto is required to be filed under the Act, such post-effective amendment) shall have become effective; no stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement shall be in effect, and no proceedings for such purpose or pursuant to Section 8A under the Act shall be pending before or threatened by the Commission; the Preliminary Prospectus, the Prospectus and each Issuer Free Writing Prospectus shall have been timely filed with the Commission under the Act (in the case of an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, to the extent required by Rule 433 under the Act) and in accordance with Section 5(a) hereof; and all requests by the Commission for additional information shall have been complied with to the reasonable satisfaction of the Representative; (ii) there shall not have occurred any downgrading in the rating accorded any debt securities of the Bank by Standard & Poor’s Global Ratings or Moody’s Investors Service, Inc., or any public announcement by either such organization of an intended or potential downgrading; and (iii) there shall have been no material adverse change in the financial condition, earnings, business or operations of the Bank and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole, from that set forth in the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Information (excluding any amendment or supplement thereto) and the Prospectus (exclusive of any amendments or supplements thereto prior to the Time of Delivery), which, in the reasonable judgment of the Representative, makes it impracticable to proceed with the solicitation by the Underwriters of offers to purchase Notes from the Bank or the purchase by the Underwriters of Notes from the Bank, as the case may be, on the terms and in the manner contemplated in this Agreement, Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Information and the Prospectus as first amended or supplemented relating to the Notes to be delivered at the applicable Time of Delivery.

(b) McCarthy Tetrault LLP, Canadian counsel for the Bank, shall have delivered to the Underwriters their written opinions, dated the Closing Date, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Representative and counsel for the Underwriters.

(c) Simpson Thacher & Bartlett LLP, United States counsel for the Bank, shall have delivered to the Underwriters their written opinion and negative assurance letter, each dated the Closing Date, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Representative and counsel for the Underwriters.

16

(d) Davis Polk & Wardwell LLP, United States counsel for the Underwriters, shall have delivered to the Underwriters their written opinion and negative assurance letter, each dated the Closing Date.

(e) On the date hereof and on the Closing Date, the Underwriters shall have received, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Representative and counsel for the Underwriters, from Ernst & Young LLP, independent public accountants, constituting statements and information of the type ordinarily included in accountants’ “comfort letters” to Underwriters with respect to the financial statements and certain financial information contained in or incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Information and the Prospectus.

(f) On or after the date hereof there shall not have occurred any of the following: (i) a suspension or material limitation in trading in securities generally on the NYSE or the TSX; (ii) a material disruption in securities settlement, payment or clearance services in the United States; (iii) a general moratorium on commercial banking activities in The City of New York or the City of Toronto, declared by either United States federal, New York State, Canadian federal or Ontario provincial authorities, as the case may be; or (iv) an outbreak or escalation of hostilities or other calamity or crisis having an adverse effect on the financial markets of the United States of America, which, in the reasonable judgment of the Representative makes it impracticable to proceed with the solicitation of offers to purchase Notes or the purchase of the Notes from the Bank pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise, as the case may be, on the terms and in the manner contemplated in the Prospectus as first amended or supplemented relating to the Notes to be delivered at the applicable Time of Delivery.

(g) The Bank shall have delivered or caused to be delivered to the Underwriters a certificate signed by an authorized officer (with a title of “Associate Vice President” or higher) of the Bank dated the Time of Delivery to the effect set forth in Section 8(a)(i), (ii) and (iii) hereof and to the effect that the representations and warranties of the Bank contained in this Agreement are true and correct as of the Time of Delivery, and that the Bank has complied with all of the agreements and satisfied all of the conditions on its part to be performed or satisfied hereunder on or prior to the Time of Delivery.

9. Indemnification and Contribution.

(a) The Bank agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Underwriters, their respective affiliates, directors and officers and each person, if any, who controls the Underwriters within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, from and against any and all losses, claims, damages and liabilities caused by any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a Material Fact contained in the Registration Statement, any Preliminary Prospectus, the Prospectus as amended or supplemented or any amendment or supplement thereto, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or Time of Sale Information or caused by any omission or alleged omission to state therein a Material Fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not

17

misleading, except with respect to the Underwriters insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities are caused by any such untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission based upon the Underwriter Information. The indemnity agreement set forth in this Section 9(a) shall be in addition to any liabilities that the Bank may otherwise have.

(b) The Underwriters agree, severally and not jointly, to indemnify and hold harmless the Bank, its directors, its officers, its authorized representative or representatives in the United States, and each person, if any, who controls the Bank within the meaning of either the Act or the Exchange Act, to the same extent as the foregoing indemnity from the Bank to the Underwriters, but only with reference to the Underwriter Information. The Bank hereby acknowledges that the only Underwriter Information consists of (i) written information furnished to the Bank by any Underwriter expressly for use in the Registration Statement, any Preliminary Prospectus, the Prospectus as amended or supplemented or any amendment or supplement thereto, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or Time of Sale Information, (ii) the name of any Underwriter in any of such documents and (iii) the statements set forth under the fifth paragraph, the seventh paragraph, the third sentence of the eleventh paragraph and the twelfth paragraph under the heading “Underwriting (Conflicts of Interest)” in the Prospectus Supplement and the Preliminary Prospectus. The indemnity agreement set forth in this Section 9(b) shall be in addition to any liabilities that the Underwriters may otherwise have.

(c) In case any proceeding (including any governmental investigation) shall be instituted involving any person in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to either of the two preceding paragraphs, such person (the “indemnified party”) shall promptly notify the person against whom such indemnity may be sought (the “indemnifying party”) in writing and the indemnifying party, upon request of the indemnified party, shall retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party to represent the indemnified party and any others the indemnifying party may designate in such proceeding and shall pay the fees and disbursements of such counsel related to such proceeding; provided, however, that the failure to notify promptly the indemnifying party will not relieve it from liability unless and to the extent that such failure results in the forfeiture by the indemnifying party of substantial rights or defenses. In any such proceeding, any indemnified party shall have the right to retain its own counsel, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such indemnified party unless (i) the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have mutually agreed to the retention of such counsel, (ii) the indemnifying party has failed within a reasonable time to retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party or (iii) the named parties to any such proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both the indemnifying party and the indemnified party and representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them. It is understood that the indemnifying party shall not, in connection with any proceeding or related proceedings in the same jurisdiction, be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of more than one separate firm (in addition to any local counsel) for all such indemnified parties and that such fees and expenses shall be reimbursed as they are incurred. Such firm shall be designated in writing by the Underwriters in the case of

18

parties indemnified pursuant to Section 9(a) and by the Bank in the case of parties indemnified pursuant to Section 9(b). The indemnifying party shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent but if settled with such consent or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, the indemnifying party agrees to indemnify the indemnified party from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which any indemnified party is an actual or potential party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such indemnified party, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such indemnified party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding and does not include a statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of any indemnified party.

(d) If the indemnification provided for in Sections 9(a) and 9(b) hereof is unavailable as a matter of law to an indemnified party in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to therein, then each indemnifying party under either such paragraph, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party thereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Bank on the one hand, and the Underwriters on the other, from the offering of the Notes or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) above but also the relative fault of the Bank on the one hand, and of the Underwriters on the other, in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Bank on the one hand, and the Underwriters on the other, shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the total net proceeds from the offering (before deducting expenses) received by the Bank bear to the total underwriting commission received by the Underwriters, in each case as set forth in the table on the cover page of the Prospectus as amended or supplemented. The relative fault of the Bank and of the Underwriters shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a Material Fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a Material Fact relates to information supplied by the Bank or by the Underwriters and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.

(e) The Bank and the Underwriters agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 9 were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in Section 9(d). The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages and liabilities referred to in the preceding paragraphs shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth above, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 9, the Underwriters shall not be required to contribute any amount in excess of the underwriting commissions received by the Underwriters in connection with the

19

Notes sold by it. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The remedies provided for in this Section 9 are not exclusive and shall not limit any rights or remedies which may otherwise be available to any indemnified party at law or in equity.

10. Survival of Certain Representations and Obligations. The respective indemnities, agreements, representations, warranties and other statements of the Bank and the Underwriters, as set forth in Sections 1, 2, 7 and 9 hereof or made by or on behalf of them, respectively, pursuant to this Agreement, shall remain in full force and effect, regardless of any (i) termination of this Agreement or (ii) investigation (or any statement as to the results thereof) made by or on behalf of the Underwriters or any controlling person of any Underwriter, or the Bank, or any officer or director or controlling person of the Bank, and shall survive delivery of and payment for any of the Notes.

11. Notices. All statements, requests, notices and agreements hereunder shall be in writing, and if to the Underwriters shall be delivered or sent by mail, telex or facsimile transmission to the address of TD Securities (USA) LLC, 1 Vanderbilt Avenue, 11^th Floor, New York, New York 10017, Attention: DCM – Transaction Advisory, email: USTransactionAdvisory@tdsecurities.com; and if to the Bank shall be delivered to the address of the Bank set forth in the Registration Statement: Attention: General Counsel. Any such statements, requests, notices or agreements shall take effect upon receipt thereof.

12. Patriot Act. In accordance with the requirements of the USA Patriot Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)), the Underwriters are required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies their respective clients, including the Bank, which information may include the name and address of their respective clients, as well as other information that will allow the Underwriters to properly identify their respective clients.

13. Effectiveness; Defaulting Underwriters. This Agreement shall become effective upon the execution and delivery hereof by the parties hereto.

If, on the Closing Date, any one or more of the Underwriters shall fail or refuse to purchase Notes that it has or they have agreed to purchase hereunder on such date, and the aggregate principal amount of Notes which such defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed or refused to purchase is not more than one-tenth of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes to be purchased on such date, the other Underwriters shall be obligated severally in the proportions that the principal amount of Notes set forth opposite their respective names in Schedule I bears to the aggregate principal amount of Notes set forth opposite the names of all such non-defaulting Underwriters, or in such other proportions as the Representative may specify, to purchase the Notes which such defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed or refused to purchase on such date; provided that in no event shall the principal amount of Notes that any Underwriter has agreed to purchase pursuant to this Agreement be increased pursuant to this Section 13 by an amount in excess of one-ninth of such principal amount of Notes without the written consent of such Underwriter. If, on the Closing Date, any Underwriter or Underwriters shall fail or refuse to purchase Notes and the aggregate principal amount of Notes with respect to which such default occurs is more than one-tenth of the aggregate principal

20

amount of Notes to be purchased on such date, and arrangements satisfactory to the Representative and the Bank for the purchase of such Notes are not made within 36 hours after such default, this Agreement shall terminate without liability on the part of any non-defaulting Underwriter or the Bank. In any such case either the Representative or the Bank shall have the right to postpone the Closing Date, but in no event for longer than seven days, in order that the required changes, if any, in the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Information or the Prospectus, as amended or supplemented, if applicable, or in any other documents or arrangements may be effected. Any action taken under this paragraph shall not relieve any defaulting Underwriter from liability in respect of any default of such Underwriter under this Agreement.

If this Agreement shall be terminated by the Underwriters, or any of them, because of any failure or refusal on the part of the Bank to comply with the terms or to fulfill any of the conditions of this Agreement, or if for any reason the Bank shall be unable to perform its obligations under this Agreement, the Bank will reimburse the Underwriters or such Underwriters as have so terminated this Agreement with respect to themselves, severally, for all out-of-pocket expenses (including the fees and disbursements of their counsel) reasonably incurred by such Underwriters in connection with this Agreement or the offering contemplated hereunder.

14. Successors. This Agreement shall be binding upon, and inure solely to the benefit of, the Underwriters and the Bank, and to the extent provided in Sections 9 and 10 hereof, the officers and directors of the Bank and each person who controls the Underwriters or the Bank, and their respective heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns, and no other person shall acquire or have any right under or by virtue of this Agreement. No purchaser of any of the Notes through or from the Underwriters hereunder shall be deemed a successor or assign by reason merely of such purchase.

15. Jurisdiction. The Bank irrevocably (i) agrees that any legal suit, action or proceeding against the Bank brought by the Underwriters or by any person who controls any of the Underwriters arising out of or based upon this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby may be instituted in any state or federal court in The City of New York (a “New York Court”), (ii) waives, to the fullest extent it may lawfully do so, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any such proceeding and (iii) submits to the jurisdiction of such courts in any such suit, action or proceeding. The Bank irrevocably waives any immunity to jurisdiction to which it may otherwise be entitled or become entitled (including sovereign immunity, immunity to pre-judgment attachment, post-judgment attachment and execution) in any legal suit, action or proceeding against it arising out of or based on this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby that is instituted in any New York Court. The Bank has appointed Mr. Glenn Gibson, The Toronto-Dominion Bank, 1 Vanderbilt Avenue, New York, New York 10017, as its authorized agent (the “Authorized Agent”) upon whom process may be served in any such action arising out of or based on this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby that may be instituted in any New York Court by the Underwriters or by any person who controls any Underwriter, expressly consents to the jurisdiction of any such court in respect of any such action, and waives any other requirements of or objections to personal jurisdiction with respect thereto. The Bank represents and warrants that the Authorized Agent has agreed to act as such agent for service of process and agrees to take any and all action, including the filing of any and all documents and instruments, which may be necessary to continue such appointment in full force and effect as aforesaid. Service of process upon the Authorized Agent and written notice of such service to the Bank shall be deemed, in every respect, effective service of process upon the Bank.

21

16. Business Day. Time shall be of the essence in this Agreement. As used herein, “business day” shall mean any day when the Commission’s office in Washington, D.C. is open for business.

17. Judgment Currency. If for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court it is necessary to convert a sum due hereunder into any currency other than United States dollars, the parties hereto agree, to the fullest extent that they may effectively do so, that the rate of exchange used shall be the rate at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the applicable Underwriters could purchase United States dollars with such other currency in The City of New York on the business day preceding that on which final judgment is given. The obligation of the Bank with respect to any sum due from it to any Underwriter or any person controlling any Underwriter shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency other than United States dollars, not be discharged until the first business day following receipt by such Underwriter or controlling person of any sum in such other currency, and only to the extent that such Underwriter or controlling person may in accordance with normal banking procedures purchase United States dollars with such other currency. If the United States dollars so purchased are less than the sum originally due to such Underwriter or controlling person hereunder, the Bank agrees as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify such Underwriter or controlling person against such loss. If the United States dollars so purchased are greater than the sum originally due to such Underwriter or controlling person hereunder, such Underwriter or controlling person agrees to pay to the Bank an amount equal to the excess of the dollars so purchased over the sum originally due to such Underwriters or controlling person hereunder.

18. Additional Amounts. The amounts to be paid by the Bank hereunder shall be paid in United States dollars without withholding or deduction for or on account of any present or future taxes, duties or governmental charges imposed under the laws of Canada or any political subdivision thereof unless the Bank is compelled by law or the administration thereof to deduct or withhold such taxes, duties or charges. In such an event, the Bank shall pay such additional amounts as may be necessary in order that the net amounts received after such withholding or deduction shall equal the amount that would have been received if no withholding or deduction had been made; provided, however, that no such additional amounts shall be paid on account of any taxes, duties or charges (i) that are imposed due to a present or former connection of an Underwriter with Canada or any political subdivision thereof other than the mere entering into of this Agreement or receipt of payments hereunder or (ii) that would not have been imposed but for the failure of an Underwriter to provide any form, certificate, document, or other information that would have reduced or eliminated such taxes, duties or other charges except where providing such form, certificate, document, or other information would subject such Underwriter to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Underwriter. In addition, if any such taxes, duties or governmental charges (other than any such taxes, duties or governmental charges excluded from indemnification by reason of the proviso in the preceding sentence) ought to have been withheld by the Bank and were not withheld, then the Bank will indemnify the Underwriters against liability for such taxes, duties or governmental charges, together with any interest or penalties thereon.

22

19. Certain Taxes. The Bank will indemnify and hold harmless the Underwriters against any documentary, stamp or similar issuance tax, including any interest and penalties, on the creation, issuance and sale of the Notes and on the authorization, performance, execution and delivery of this Agreement. The Bank also will indemnify and hold harmless the Underwriters for any goods and services or harmonized goods and services tax in respect of the payment of any amounts hereunder.

(b) In the event that any Underwriter is a Covered Entity or a BHC Act Affiliate (as defined below) of such Underwriter becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights (as defined below) under this Agreement that may be exercised against such Underwriter are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if this Agreement were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States.

Section 2.2 Maturity.

The date upon which the Notes shall become due and payable at final maturity, together with any accrued and unpaid interest then owing, is July 31, 2084 (the “Maturity Date”).

Section 2.3 Form, Payment and Appointment.

Except as provided in Section 2.08 of the Base Indenture, the Notes will be issued only in book-entry form and will be represented by one or more Global Notes (as defined below) registered in the name of or held by DTC or its nominee. Principal or the redemption price, if any, of a Note shall be payable to the Person in whose name that Note is registered on the Maturity Date or redemption date, as the case may be, provided that principal of, the redemption price, if any, of and interest on the Notes represented by one or more Global Notes registered in the name of or held by DTC or its nominee will be payable in immediately available funds to DTC or its nominee, as the case may be, as the registered holder of such Global Notes. The principal of any certificated Notes will be payable at the Place of Payment set forth below; provided, however, that payment of interest may be made at the option of the Bank by check mailed to the Person entitled thereto at such address as shall appear in the Security register or by wire transfer to an account appropriately designated by the Person entitled to payment.

The Notes shall have such other terms as are set forth in the form thereof attached hereto as Exhibit A.

The Security registrar, Authenticating Agent and Paying Agent for the Notes shall be the U.S. Trustee.

The Place of Payment for the Notes shall initially be the Corporate Trust Office of the U.S. Trustee.

The Notes will be issuable and may be transferred only in minimum denominations of $200,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. The amounts payable with respect to the Notes shall be payable in U.S. dollars.

Section 2.4 Global Note.

The Notes shall be issued initially in the form of one or more fully registered global notes (each such global note, a “Global Note”) deposited with DTC or its designated custodian or such other Depositary as any officer of the Bank may from time to time designate. Unless and until a Global Note is exchanged for Notes in certificated form, such Global Note may be transferred, in whole but not in part, and any payments on the Notes shall be made, only to DTC or a nominee of DTC, or to a successor Depositary selected or approved by the Bank or to a nominee of such successor Depositary.

Section 2.5 Interest.

The Notes shall bear interest on their principal amount from and including the Date of Issue to, but excluding, July 31, 2029 (the “Initial Reset Date”), at a rate of 7.250% per annum. On each Reset Date following the Initial Reset Date, the interest rate will be reset at an interest rate per annum equal to the sum, as determined by the Bank or its designee, of (i) the U.S. Treasury Rate on each Interest Rate Calculation Date plus (ii) 2.977%. Interest on the Notes will be payable quarterly in arrears on January 31, April 30, July 31 and October 31 of each year, commencing October 31, 2024, or if any such day is not a Business Day, the next Business Day (but no interest will accrue as a result of that postponement) (each such date, an “Interest Payment Date”), to the Holders of the Notes of record as of the close of business on the immediately preceding January 15, April 15, July 15 and October 15 (whether or not a Business Day), as the case may be.

10

All percentages resulting from any calculation of the interest rate on the Notes during any Reset Rate Period will be rounded to the nearest one hundred-thousandth of a percentage point with five one millionths of a percentage point rounded upwards (e.g., 1.111115% (or .01111115) would be rounded to 1.11112% (or .0111112)), and all dollar amounts used in or resulting from such calculation on the Notes will be rounded to the nearest cent (with one half cent being rounded upward). Each calculation of the interest rate on the Notes by the Bank or our designee will (in absence of manifest error) be final and binding on the Holders and the Bank. The interest rate on the Notes will in no event be higher than the maximum rate permitted by New York law as the same may be modified by United States law of general application.

REMEDIES

Section 5.1 Applicability of Article V of the Base Indenture.

Section 5.2 Events of Default.

With respect to the Notes, “Event of Default” means the happening of any one or more of the following events which shall have occurred and be continuing (whatever the reason for such Event of Default and whether it shall be voluntary or involuntary or be effected by operation of law or pursuant to any judgment, decree or order of any court or any order, rule or regulation of any administrative or governmental body): if the Bank shall become insolvent or bankrupt or subject to the provisions of the Winding-up and Restructuring Act (Canada), or any act that may be substituted therefor, as from time to time amended, or if the Bank goes into liquidation, either voluntarily or under an order of a court of competent jurisdiction, passes a resolution for the winding-up, liquidation or dissolution of the Bank or otherwise acknowledges its insolvency (provided that a resolution or order for the winding-up of the Bank with a view to its reconstruction or its consolidation, amalgamation or merger with another Person or the transfer of its assets as an entirety to such other Person, as provided in Article IX of the Base Indenture, shall not constitute an Event of Default if such last-mentioned Person shall, as a part of such reconstruction, consolidation, amalgamation, merger or transfer, and, within 90 days from the passing of the resolution or the date of the order or within such further period of time as may be allowed by the Trustees, comply with the conditions to that end stated in Article IX of the Base Indenture).

11

Notwithstanding any other provisions of the Indenture, and for the avoidance of doubt, none of (i) the non-payment of principal amount of or interest on the Notes, (ii) a default in the performance of any other covenant of the Bank in the Indenture or (iii) the occurrence of a Contingent Conversion upon a Trigger Event shall constitute an Event of Default under the Indenture or the Notes.

In addition, by acquiring any Note, each Holder and Beneficial Owner of such Note or any interest therein, including any person acquiring any such Note or interest therein after the date hereof, irrevocably acknowledges and agrees with and for the benefit of the Bank and the Trustees that neither a Contingent Conversion nor a Trigger Event shall give rise to a default for purposes of Section 315(b) (Notice of Default) and Section 315(c) (Duties of the Trustee in Case of Default) of the Trust Indenture Act.

Section 5.3 Recourse to Corresponding Limited Recourse Trust Assets is Sole Remedy.

Notwithstanding any other provision in the Indenture or the Notes, by acquiring any Note, each Holder and Beneficial Owner of such Note or any interest therein, including any person acquiring any such Note or interest therein after the date hereof, irrevocably acknowledges and agrees with and for the benefit of the Bank and the Trustees that the delivery of such Holder’s proportionate share of the Corresponding Limited Recourse Trust Assets to such Holder shall exhaust all remedies of such Holder under the Notes including in connection with any Event of Default. All claims of a Holder against the Bank shall be extinguished upon receipt by such Holder of such Holder’s proportionate share of the Corresponding Limited Recourse Trust Assets. If the Limited Recourse Trustee fails to deliver a Holder’s proportionate share of the Corresponding Limited Recourse Trust Assets to such Holder, the sole remedy of such Holder for any claims against the Bank shall be recourse to such Holder’s proportionate share of the Corresponding Limited Recourse Trust Assets.

For the avoidance of doubt, the delivery of a Holder’s proportionate share of the Corresponding Limited Recourse Trust Assets to such Holder shall be deemed to be in full satisfaction of the Notes and shall exhaust all remedies of such Holder against the Bank. In case of any shortfall resulting from the value of a Holder’s proportionate share of the Corresponding Limited Recourse Trust Assets being less than the principal amount of and any accrued and unpaid interest on, or the Redemption Price of, the Notes held by such Holder, all losses arising from such shortfall shall be borne by such Holder and no claim may be made against the Bank.

Section 5.4 Suits for Enforcement by Trustees. If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing and the Limited Recourse Trustee fails to deliver a Holder’s proportionate share of Corresponding Limited Recourse Trust Assets to such Holder, the Trustees may in their discretion proceed to protect and enforce its rights and the rights of the Holders by such appropriate judicial proceedings as the Trustees shall deem most effectual to protect and enforce any such rights, whether for the specific enforcement of any covenant or agreement in the Indenture or in aid of the exercise of any power granted herein, or to enforce any other proper remedy, provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, any remedies and any claims against the Bank shall be subject to the limitations set out in Section 5.3.

Section 5.7 Delay or Omission Not Waiver of Default. For purposes of the Notes, the second paragraph of Section 5.08 of the Base Indenture is hereby replaced in its entirety as follows:

“No delay or omission of the Trustees or of any Holder to exercise any right or power accruing upon any Event of Default or failure of the Limited Recourse Trustee to deliver the proportionate share of the Corresponding Limited Recourse Trust Assets to a Holder, shall impair any such right or power or shall be construed to be a waiver of any such Event of Default or an acquiescence therein; and, subject to Section 5.06 of the Indenture, every power and remedy given by the Indenture or by law to the Trustees or to the Holders may be exercised from time to time, and as often as shall be deemed expedient, by the Trustees or by the Holders as the case may be.”

In the event withholding or deduction of such Taxes is required or authorized by law or the administration thereof, the Bank shall, subject to certain exceptions and limitations set forth below, pay such additional amounts (“Additional Amounts”) to the holder or beneficial owner of any Note as may be necessary in order that every net payment of the principal of and interest on such Note, after any withholding or deduction for Taxes imposed or levied by or on behalf of Canada or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein having the power to tax (each a “Taxing Jurisdiction”) (and Taxes imposed or levied by a Taxing Jurisdiction on such Additional Amounts), shall not be less than the amount such holder or beneficial owner would have received if such Taxes imposed or levied by or on behalf of a Taxing Jurisdiction had not been withheld or deducted. The Bank shall not, however, be required to make any payment of Additional Amounts to any holder or beneficial owner for or on account of:

(i) any Taxes that would not have been so imposed but for a present or former connection (including, without limitation, carrying on business in a Taxing Jurisdiction or having a permanent establishment or fixed base in a Taxing Jurisdiction) between such holder or beneficial owner of a Note (or between a fiduciary, settlor, beneficiary, member or shareholder of, or possessor of power over, such holder or beneficial owner, if such holder or beneficial owner is an estate, trust, partnership, limited liability company or corporation) and a Taxing Jurisdiction, other than merely holding such Note or receiving payments with respect to such Note;

(ii) any estate, inheritance, gift, sales, transfer or personal property Tax or any similar Tax with respect to a Note;

(iii) any Tax imposed by reason that such holder or beneficial owner of a Note or other person or partnership that receives payments or is entitled to payments on the Note (i) does not deal at arm’s length within the meaning of the Income Tax Act (Canada) (the “Tax Act”) with the Bank, (ii) is, or does not deal at arm’s length with any person who is, a “specified shareholder” of the Bank for purposes of the thin capitalization rules in the Tax Act, or (iii) is an entity in respect of which the Bank is a “specified entity” as defined in the Tax Act with respect to “hybrid mismatch arrangements”;

(iv) any Tax that is levied or collected otherwise than by withholding from payments on or in respect of a Note;

(v) any Tax required to be withheld by any Paying Agent from any payment on a Note, if such payment can be made without such withholding by at least one other Paying Agent;

(vi) any Tax that would not have been imposed but for the failure of a holder or beneficial owner of a Note to comply with certification, identification, declaration, information or other reporting requirements, if such compliance is required by a Taxing Jurisdiction (including where required by statute, treaty, regulation or administrative pronouncement) as a precondition to relief or exemption from such Tax;

16

(vii) any Tax which would not have been imposed but for the presentation of a Note (where presentation is required) for payment on a date more than 30 days after (i) the date on which such payment became due and payable or (ii) the date on which payment thereof is duly provided for, whichever occurs later;

(viii) any withholding or deduction imposed pursuant to (i) Sections 1471 to 1474 of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (“FATCA”), or any successor version thereof, or any similar legislation imposed by any other governmental authority, (ii) any treaty, law, regulation or other official guidance enacted by Canada implementing FATCA or an intergovernmental agreement with respect to FATCA or any similar legislation imposed by any other governmental authority or (iii) any agreement between the Bank and the United States or any authority thereof implementing FATCA; or

(ix) any combination of the items listed in clauses (i) through (viii) above;

nor shall Additional Amounts be paid with respect to any payment on a Note to a holder who is a fiduciary or partnership or any person other than the sole beneficial owner of such payment to the extent a beneficiary or settlor with respect to such fiduciary, a member of such partnership or such beneficial owner would not have been entitled to the Additional Amounts had such beneficiary, settlor, member or beneficial owner held its interest in the Note directly.

In addition, no Additional Amounts will be payable under the provisions described above to any holder or beneficial owner of a Note on account of Taxes that are in excess of the Taxes that would have been imposed if, at all relevant times, such holder or beneficial owner of a Note were a resident of the United States for purposes of, and was entitled to all of the benefits of, the United States-Canada Income Tax Convention (1980), as amended, including any protocols thereto.

All references in this Third Supplemental Indenture to principal, premium, if any, or interest in respect of the Notes shall be deemed to include all Additional Amounts, if any, payable in respect of such principal, premium, if any, or interest, unless the context otherwise requires.

Section 8.2 No Restriction on Other Indebtedness. The Bank may create, issue or incur any other Indebtedness which, in the event of the insolvency or winding-up of the Bank, would rank in right of payment in priority to, equally with, or subordinate to the Notes.

Notwithstanding any other provision in the Indenture, the sole remedy of Holders in the event of a Recourse Event (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the non-payment of the principal amount of, interest on or the Redemption Price for the Notes when due) shall be recourse to the Corresponding Limited Recourse Trust Assets. Upon any such Recourse Event, the principal amount of, and accrued and unpaid interest (if any) on, the Notes will become immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustees or any Holders; provided that recourse for such principal amount and accrued and unpaid interest shall be solely to the Corresponding Limited Recourse Trust Assets. The delivery of a Holder’s proportionate share of Corresponding Limited Recourse Trust Assets to such Holder shall exhaust all remedies of such Holder under the Notes including in connection with any Recourse Event. All claims of a Holder against the Bank shall be extinguished upon receipt by such Holder of its proportionate share of Corresponding Limited Recourse Trust Assets. The delivery of a Holder’s proportionate share of the Corresponding Limited Recourse Trust Assets to such Holder shall be deemed to be in full satisfaction of the Notes and shall exhaust all remedies of such Holder against the Bank in accordance with Section 5.3 regardless of whether the value of such Corresponding Limited Recourse Trust Assets is less than the principal amount of and any accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes or the Redemption Price of the Notes, as applicable.

Those sales (if any) may be made at any time and at any price. The Bank shall not be subject to any liability for failure to sell any such Common Shares or Preferred Shares on behalf of such Persons or at any particular price on any particular day. The net proceeds received by the Bank or its transfer agent from the sale of any such Common Shares or Preferred Shares will be delivered to any such person, after deducting the costs of sale and any applicable withholding taxes. The Bank shall deliver a check or send a wire transfer in immediately available funds representing the aggregate net proceeds to the Depository (if the Common Shares or Preferred Shares are then held in the form of one or more global securities) or in all other cases to such Persons in accordance with the regular practices and procedures of the Depository or otherwise.

Subject to Section 9.3, as promptly as practicable after the occurrence of a Trigger Event, the Bank shall announce the applicable Recourse Event by way of a press release and shall give notice (a “Trigger Event Notice”) of the delivery of the Common Shares in accordance with the provisions of Section 13.04 of the Base Indenture to the Holders and the Trustees. Immediately following the Contingent Conversion, any certificates representing the Notes shall represent the right to receive upon surrender thereof the applicable number of Common Shares as specified in Section 9.5. The provisions hereof shall be mandatory and binding upon the Bank and all Holders notwithstanding anything else including, without limitation: (i) the existence or prior occurrence of an Event of Default in respect of the Notes; (ii) any prior action to or in furtherance of a redeeming, exchanging or converting the Notes pursuant to the other terms and conditions of the Indenture and (iii) any delay or impediment to the issuance or delivery of the Common Shares to the Holders.

Section 9.7 Trigger Event Procedure.

(b) If the Notes are held in definitive form at the time of the Trigger Event, the Bank will provide Holders with a notice describing, among other things, how the Bank intends to cause the Limited Recourse Trustee to deliver the evidence of beneficial ownership of the Common Shares and requesting such Holders to provide the Bank with their relevant securities account information for purposes of receiving such evidence of beneficial ownership.

Section 9.9 General.

(a) The delivery of the Common Shares issued to the Limited Recourse Trustee upon a Contingent Conversion (other than any Dividend Common Shares) to a Holder shall exhaust all remedies of such Holder under the Notes including in connection with any Trigger Event. All claims of a Holder against the Bank shall be extinguished upon receipt by such Holder of the applicable Common Shares. If tax is required to be withheld from such payment of any interest in the form of Common Shares, the number of Common Shares received by a Holder shall reflect an amount net of any applicable withholding tax.

(b) Notwithstanding any other provision of the Indenture or the Notes, the Trigger Event and the delivery of Common Shares to the Holders pursuant to the provisions hereof shall not be an Event of Default and the only consequence of a Trigger Event shall be the right of the Holders to receive the Corresponding Limited Recourse Trust Assets (which shall be the fully-paid Common Shares then held by the Limited Recourse Trustee pursuant to a Contingent Conversion (other than any Dividend Common Shares)).

(c) The Trustees shall have no duty to determine the occurrence of a Trigger Event or any calculations in connection with such Trigger Event.

Section 13.6 Acceptance by Trustees.

The Trustees accept the amendments to the Indenture effected by this Third Supplemental Indenture. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Trustees assume no responsibility for the correctness of the recitals or statements contained herein, which shall be taken as the statements of the Bank and the Trustees shall not be responsible or accountable in any way whatsoever for or with respect to the validity or execution (other than by the Trustees) or sufficiency of this Third Supplemental Indenture and the Trustees make no representation with respect thereto.

Section 13.7 Electronic Communication

The U.S. Trustee and the Canadian Trustee shall have the right to accept and act upon instructions, including funds transfer instructions (“Instructions”) given pursuant to this Third Supplemental Indenture and delivered using Electronic Means; provided, however, that the Bank shall provide to the U.S. Trustee and the Canadian Trustee an incumbency certificate listing its authorized officers and containing specimen signatures of such authorized officers, which incumbency certificate shall be amended by the Bank whenever a person is to be added or deleted from the listing. If the Bank elects to give the U.S. Trustee or the Canadian Trustee Instructions using Electronic Means and the U.S. Trustee or the Canadian Trustee in its discretion elects to act upon such Instructions, the U.S. Trustee’s, or the Canadian Trustee’s understanding of such Instructions shall be deemed controlling. The Issuer understands and agrees that the U.S. Trustee and the Canadian Trustee cannot determine the identity of the actual sender of such Instructions and that the U.S. Trustee and the Canadian Trustee shall conclusively presume that directions that purport to have been sent by an authorized officer listed on the incumbency certificate provided to the U.S. Trustee or the Canadian Trustee have been sent by such authorized officer. The Bank shall be responsible for ensuring that only authorized officers transmit such Instructions to the U.S. Trustee and the Canadian Trustee and that the Bank and all authorized officers are solely responsible to safeguard the use and confidentiality of applicable user and authorization codes, passwords and/or authentication keys upon receipt by the Bank. The U.S. Trustee and the Canadian Trustee shall not be liable for any losses, costs or expenses arising directly or indirectly from the U.S. Trustee’s or the Canadian Trustee’s reliance upon and compliance with such Instructions notwithstanding that such directions conflict or are inconsistent with a subsequent written instruction, until the receipt of such subsequent written instruction, except to the extent that such losses, costs or expenses are the result of the U.S. Trustee’s or the Canadian Trustee’s negligence or willful misconduct.

25

Subject to the foregoing, the Bank agrees: (i) to assume all risks arising out of the use of Electronic Means to submit Instructions to the U.S. Trustee or the Canadian Trustee, including the risk of the U.S. Trustee or the Canadian Trustee acting on unauthorized Instructions, and the risk of interception and misuse by third parties; (ii) that it is fully informed of the protections and risks associated with the various methods of transmitting Instructions to the U.S. Trustee and the Canadian Trustee and that there may be more secure methods of transmitting Instructions than the method(s) selected by the Bank; (iii) that the security procedures (if any) to be followed in connection with its transmission of Instructions provide to it a commercially reasonable degree of protection in light of its particular needs and circumstances; and (iv) to use reasonable efforts to notify the U.S. Trustee and the Canadian Trustee upon learning of any compromise or unauthorized use of any such Electronic Means used to send instructions to the U.S. Trustee or Canadian Trustee.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Third Supplemental Indenture to be duly executed, all as of the day and year first above written.

7.250% Fixed Rate Reset Limited Recourse Capital Notes, Series 4 (Non-Viability Contingent Capital (NVCC))

Subordinated Indebtedness

This security will not constitute a deposit insured by the U.S. Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation under the U.S. Federal Deposit Insurance Act or by the Canada Deposit Insurance Corporation under the Canada Deposit Insurance Corporation Act or any other Canadian or U.S. governmental agency or instrumentality or any other deposit insurance regime designed to ensure the payment of all or a portion of a deposit upon the insolvency of a deposit taking financial institution

No.: A-[•]	CUSIP: 89116CKP1
	ISIN: US89116CKP13
Issue Date: July 3, 2024	Stated Maturity: July 31, 2084

The Toronto-Dominion Bank, a Schedule I bank under the Bank Act (Canada) (herein called the “Bank”, which term includes any successor Person under the Indenture hereinafter referred to), for value received, hereby promises to pay to Cede & Co., Inc., or registered assigns, the principal sum of [•] Dollars ($[•]) on July 31, 2084 (the “Maturity Date”), and to pay interest thereon quarterly in arrears on January 31, April 30, July 31 and October 31 of each year (each, an “Interest Payment Date”), commencing October 31, 2024, or if any such day is not a Business Day, the next Business Day (but no interest will accrue as a result of that postponement), from and including the Date of Issue to, but excluding, July 31, 2029 (the “Initial Reset Date”), at a rate of 7.250% per annum. On each Reset Date following the Initial Reset Date, the interest rate will be reset at an interest rate per annum equal to the sum, as determined by the Bank or its designee, of (i) the U.S. Treasury Rate on each Interest Rate Calculation Date plus (ii) 2.977%.

Interest shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months.

Interest payments are non-deferrable.

Exh. A-1

All percentages resulting from any calculation of the interest rate on the Securities during any Reset Rate Period will be rounded to the nearest one hundred-thousandth of a percentage point with five one millionths of a percentage point rounded upwards (e.g., 1.111115% (or .01111115) would be rounded to 1.11112% (or .0111112)), and all dollar amounts used in or resulting from such calculation on the Securities will be rounded to the nearest cent (with one half cent being rounded upward). Each calculation of the interest rate on the Securities by the Bank or our designee will (in absence of manifest error) be final and binding on the Holders and the Bank. The interest rate on the Securities will in no event be higher than the maximum rate permitted by New York law as the same may be modified by United States law of general application.

The interest so payable, and punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date will, as provided in such Indenture, be paid to the Person in whose name this Security is registered as of the close of business on the record date for such interest, which record date shall be the January 15, April 15, July 15 and October 15 (whether or not a Business Day), as the case may be, next preceding such Interest Payment Date. Any such interest not so punctually paid or duly provided for will forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder on such record date and may either be paid to the Person in whose name this Security (or one or more Predecessor Notes) is registered at the close of business on a date fixed by the Trustee (a “Special Record Date”) for the payment of such defaulted interest to be fixed by the Trustees, notice whereof shall be given to Holders of Securities of this series not less than 10 days prior to such Special Record Date, or be paid at any time in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on which the Securities of this series may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, all as more fully provided in said Indenture.

Notwithstanding any provision of this Security or the Indenture, if any amount of principal, premium or interest would otherwise be due on this Security on a day (the “Specified Day”) that is not a Business Day, such amount may be paid or made available for payment on the next succeeding Business Day with the same force and effect as if such amount were paid on the Specified Day (but no interest will accrue as a result of that postponement).

For the purposes of this Security, “Business Day” means a day that is a Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday or Friday that is neither a legal holiday nor a day on which banking institutions are authorized or required by law to close in New York City or Toronto.

The Bank may make any and all payments of principal, premium and interest on this Security pursuant to the applicable procedures of the Depositary or otherwise for this Security as permitted in the Indenture.

Reference is hereby made to the further provisions of this Security set forth on the reverse hereof, which further provisions shall for all purposes have the same effect as if set forth at this place.

Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the Trustee referred to on the reverse hereof by manual signature, this Security shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Bank has caused this instrument to be duly executed.

[REVERSE OF SECURITY]

Exh. A-3

1. Securities and the Indenture

This Security is one of a duly authorized issue of securities of the Bank (herein called the “Securities”), issued and to be issued in one or more series under an Indenture, dated as of September 15, 2016 (the “Base Indenture”), among the Bank, and Computershare Trust Company, National Association, as U.S. Trustee (the “U.S. Trustee”) and Computershare Trust Company of Canada, as Canadian Trustee (the “Canadian Trustee” and, together with the U.S. Trustee, the “Trustees” and each, a “Trustee”), as supplemented by the Third Supplemental Indenture, dated as of July 3, 2024 (the “Third Supplemental Indenture”; the Base Indenture, as so supplemented, the “Indenture”), among the Bank, the U.S. Trustee and the Canadian Trustee, and reference is hereby made to the Indenture for a statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and immunities thereunder of the Bank, the Trustees and the Holders of the Securities and of the terms upon which the Securities are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered. This Security is one of the series designated on the face hereof initially limited in aggregate principal amount to $[•], provided that the Bank may, without the consent of any Holder, at any time and from time to time, increase the initial principal amount.

2. Redemption; No Sinking Fund; Satisfaction and Discharge

The Bank may, at its option, with the prior written approval of the Superintendent and without the consent of the Holders of the Securities, redeem the Securities, in whole but not in part, at any time within 90 days following a Regulatory Event Date, on not less than 10 days’ and not more than 60 days’ prior written notice to the Holders of the Securities, at a redemption price which is equal to the Redemption Price.

The Bank may, at its option, with the prior written approval of the Superintendent and without the consent of the Holders of the Securities, redeem the Securities, in whole, but not in part, at any time following a Tax Event Date, on not less than 10 days’ and not more than 60 days’ prior written notice to the Holders of the Securities, at a redemption price which is equal to the Redemption Price.

The Bank may, at its option, with the prior written approval of the Superintendent and without the consent of the Holders of the Securities, redeem the Securities in cash, in whole or in part, on not less than 10 days’ and not more than 60 days’ prior written notice to the registered Holders of the Securities, on the Initial Reset Date and each January 31, April 30, July 31 and October 31 thereafter, at a redemption price which is equal to the Redemption Price.

Upon the occurrence of a Preferred Share Redemption on any date other than the Maturity Date, a corresponding number of Outstanding Notes with an aggregate principal amount equal to the aggregate face amount of Preferred Shares redeemed by the Bank pursuant to the Preferred Share Redemption, shall automatically and immediately be redeemed for a cash amount equal to the Redemption Price, on a full and permanent basis, without any action on the part of, or the need for consent from, the Holders of such Securities. For certainty, to the extent that the Bank has immediately prior to or concurrently with such Preferred Share Redemption redeemed or purchased for cancellation a corresponding number of Outstanding Notes in accordance with the terms of the Indenture, the foregoing requirement to automatically and immediately redeem a corresponding number of Outstanding Notes shall be deemed satisfied.

Except as provided in Article Eleven of the Third Supplemental Indenture and this Section 2, the Bank shall not be required to make mandatory redemption payments or sinking fund payments with respect to the Securities. At any time the Bank may, with the prior written approval of the Superintendent, purchase Securities, in whole or in part, by tender offer, open market purchases, negotiated transactions or otherwise in accordance with applicable securities laws and regulations, so long as such acquisition does not otherwise violate the terms of the Indenture, upon such terms and at such prices as the Bank may determine. Securities purchased by the Bank shall, subject to the following paragraph, be cancelled and shall not be re-issued. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any subsidiary of the Bank may purchase Securities in the ordinary course of its business of dealing in securities.

If any Securities are to be cancelled pursuant to the preceding paragraph, the Bank shall, with the prior written approval of the Superintendent, redeem a corresponding number of Preferred Shares (which amount shall equal the aggregate principal amount of the Securities to be cancelled) then held by the Limited Recourse Trustee for cancellation, and, unless otherwise satisfied, the proceeds from the redemption of such Preferred Shares shall be applied by the Limited Recourse Trustee first towards the payment of the principal amount of, and second towards any accrued and unpaid interest on, the Securities, and should such proceeds of redemption be insufficient to pay such amounts in full, the Bank shall be obligated to fund any shortfall.

Exh. A-4

This Security will not be subject to, or entitled to the benefit of, any sinking fund.

The provisions of Section 10.01(b) of the Base Indenture shall be subject to the prior written approval of the Superintendent.

The following shall apply to this Security:

The Indenture shall upon an Issuer Order cease to be of further effect with respect to this Security, and the Trustees, at the expense of the Bank, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging satisfaction and discharge of the Indenture with respect to this Security, when (a) all Securities theretofore authenticated and delivered (other than (i) Securities which have been mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen and which have been replaced or paid as provided in Section 2.09 of the Base Indenture and (ii) Securities for whose payment money has theretofore been deposited in trust or segregated and held in trust by the Bank and thereafter repaid to the Bank or discharged from such trust, as provided in Section 10.04 of the Base Indenture) have been delivered to a Trustee for cancellation; (b) the Bank has paid or caused to be paid all other sums payable hereunder by the Bank and (c) the Bank has delivered to the Trustees an Officer’s Certificate stating that all conditions precedent herein provided for relating to the satisfaction and discharge of the Indenture with respect to the Securities have been complied with.

3. Subordination

The indebtedness evidenced by this Security is a direct unsecured debt obligation of the Bank constituting bank Subordinated Indebtedness and, in the event of the insolvency or winding-up of the Bank, the Indebtedness evidenced by the Security shall rank: (1) subordinate in right of payment to the prior payment in full of all Higher Ranked Indebtedness and (2) in right of payment equally with and not prior to the Junior Deeply Subordinated Indebtedness (other than the Junior Deeply Subordinated Indebtedness which by its terms ranks subordinate to the Notes), in each case, from time to time outstanding. Each Holder of this Security, by accepting the same, (a) agrees to and shall be bound by such provisions and (b) authorizes and directs the Trustees on his or her behalf to take such actions as may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate the subordination so provided. Each Holder hereof, by his or her acceptance hereof, waives all notice of the acceptance of the subordination provisions contained herein and in the Indenture by each holder of Indebtedness, other than Junior Deeply Subordinated Indebtedness, whether now outstanding or hereafter created, incurred, assumed or guaranteed, and waives reliance by each such holder upon said provisions.

4. Repayment at the Option of the Holder

This Security will not be subject to repayment at the option of the Holder.

5. Modification and Waiver

The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Bank and the rights of the Holders of the Securities of each series to be affected under the Indenture at any time by the Bank and the Trustees with the consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities at the time Outstanding of each series to be affected. The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of specified percentages in principal amount of the Securities of each series at the time Outstanding, on behalf of the Holders of all Securities of such series, to waive compliance by the Bank with certain provisions of the Indenture and certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Security shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Security and the Persons who are Beneficial Owners of interests represented hereby, and of any Security issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Security.

Exh. A-5

Subject to the provisions of the Indenture, the Bank will not without, but may from time to time with, the prior written approval of the Superintendent, make any modification to the Indenture or the Security in a manner that would affect the regulatory capital classification afforded to the Security from time to time for capital adequacy requirements pursuant to the Bank Act and the regulations and guidelines thereunder, including the CAR Guideline.

6. Default; Remedies

If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the rights and remedies of the Holders and either Trustee shall be as set forth in Article V of the Third Supplemental Indenture.

For the avoidance of doubt, none of (i) the non-payment of principal amount of or interest on this Security, (ii) a default in the performance of any other covenant of the Bank in the Indenture or (iii) the occurrence of a Contingent Conversion upon a Trigger Event shall constitute an Event of Default under the Indenture or this Security.

No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Security or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Bank to pay the principal of, any premium and interest on, or Redemption Price for, this Security at the times, place and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed, provided, however, that the sole remedy of a Holder if the Bank does not make such payment shall be recourse to such Holder’s proportionate share of the Corresponding Limited Recourse Trust Assets.

As provided in and subject to the provisions of the Indenture, the Holder of this Security shall not have the right to institute any proceeding with respect to the Indenture or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee or for any other remedy thereunder, unless (1) such Holder shall have previously given the Trustees written notice of a continuing Event of Default or failure of the Limited Recourse Trustee to deliver a Holder’s proportionate share of the Corresponding Limited Recourse Trust Assets to such Holder, (2) the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the Outstanding Notes shall have made written request to the Trustees to institute proceedings in respect of such Event of Default or failure of the Limited Recourse Trustee to deliver a Holder’s proportionate share of the Corresponding Limited Recourse Trust Assets to such Holder, in its own name as Trustees hereunder, (3) such Holder or Holders have offered to the Trustees full indemnity and/or security against reasonable costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred in compliance with such request, (4) the Trustees for 90 days after its receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity has failed to institute any such proceeding and (5) no direction inconsistent with such written request has been given to the Trustees during such 90-day period by the Majority Holders. The foregoing shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Holder of this Security for the enforcement of any payment of principal hereof or any premium or interest hereon on or after the respective due dates expressed herein if a Trigger Event has not occurred, provided, however, that the sole remedy of a Holder if the Bank does not make such payment shall be recourse to such Holder’s proportionate share of the Corresponding Limited Recourse Trust Assets.

7. Disclosure under Interest Act (Canada)

For disclosure purposes under the Interest Act (Canada), whenever in the Securities or the Indenture interest at a specified rate is to be calculated on the basis of a period less than a calendar year, the yearly rate of interest to which such rate is equivalent is such rate multiplied by the actual number of days in the relevant calendar year and divided by the number of days in such period.

8. Transfer or Exchange

As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Security is registrable in the Security register, upon surrender of this Security for registration of transfer at the office or agency of the Bank in any place where the principal of and any premium and interest on this Security are payable, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Bank and the Security registrar duly executed by, the Holder hereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Securities of this series and of like tenor, of Authorized Denominations (as defined below) and for the same aggregate principal amount, will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.

Exh. A-6

The Securities of this series are issuable only in registered form without coupons in “Authorized Denominations”, which term shall have the following meaning: for each Security of this series, the Authorized Denominations shall be $200,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, Securities of this series are exchangeable for a like aggregate principal amount of Securities of this series and of like tenor of a different Authorized Denomination, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same.

No service charge shall be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange of Securities as provided above, but the Bank or the Trustees may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.

Prior to due presentment of this Security for registration of transfer, the Bank, the Trustees and any agent of the Bank or the Trustees may treat the Person in whose name this Security is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, whether or not this Security be overdue, and neither the Bank, the Trustees nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

9. Recourse Event

Notwithstanding any other provision in this Security or in the Indenture, the sole remedy of a Holder in the event of a Recourse Event (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the non-payment of the principal amount of, interest on or the Redemption Price for the Securities when due) shall be recourse to such Holder’s proportionate share of the Corresponding Limited Recourse Trust Assets. Upon any such Recourse Event, the principal amount of, and accrued and unpaid interest on, the Securities will become immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustees or any Holders; provided that recourse for such principal amount and accrued and unpaid interest shall be solely to the Corresponding Limited Recourse Trust Assets. The delivery of a Holder’s proportionate share of the Corresponding Limited Recourse Trust Assets to such Holder shall exhaust all remedies of such Holder under the Securities including in connection with any Recourse Event. All claims of a Holder against the Bank shall be extinguished upon receipt by such Holder of such Holder’s proportionate share of the Corresponding Limited Recourse Trust Assets. The delivery to a Holder of such Holder’s proportionate share of the Corresponding Limited Recourse Trust Assets shall be deemed to be in full satisfaction of the Securities and shall exhaust all remedies of such Holder against the Bank in accordance with Section 5.3 of the Third Supplemental Indenture regardless of whether the value of such Holder’s proportionate share of the Corresponding Limited Recourse Trust Assets is less than the principal amount of and any accrued and unpaid interest on the Securities or the Redemption Price of the Securities, as applicable.

Upon a Recourse Event, the Bank reserves the right not to (a) deliver Common Shares or Preferred Shares to any Person whom the Bank or its transfer agent has reason to believe is an Ineligible Person or any person who, by virtue of that delivery, would become a Significant Shareholder or (b) record in its securities register a transfer or issue of Common Shares or Preferred Shares to any person whom the Bank or its transfer agent has reason to believe is an Ineligible Government Holder based on a declaration submitted to the Bank or its transfer agent by or on behalf of such person. In such circumstances, the Bank or its transfer agent will hold, as agent for such Persons, the Common Shares or Preferred Shares that would have otherwise been delivered to such Persons and will attempt to facilitate the sale of such Common Shares or Preferred Shares to parties other than the Bank and its Affiliates on behalf of such Persons through a registered dealer to be retained by the Bank on behalf of such Persons. Those sales (if any) may be made at any time and at any price. The Bank shall not be subject to any liability for failure to sell any such Common Shares or Preferred Shares on behalf of such Persons or at any particular price on any particular day. The net proceeds received by the Bank or its transfer agent from the sale of any such Common Shares or Preferred Shares will be delivered to any such person, after deducting the costs of sale and any applicable withholding taxes. The Bank shall deliver a check or send a wire transfer in immediately available funds representing the aggregate net proceeds to the Depository (if the Common Shares or Preferred Shares are then held in the form of one or more global securities) or in all other cases to such Persons in accordance with the regular practices and procedures of the Depository or otherwise.

Exh. A-7

10. Agreements of Holders and Beneficial Owners of this Security

By acquiring this Security, each Holder and Beneficial Owner of this Security or any interest herein, including any person acquiring this Security or interest herein after the date hereof, irrevocably acknowledges, consents and agrees with and for the benefit of the Bank and the Trustees that, upon the occurrence of any redemption in Section 2, (1) such redemption shall occur without any further action on the part of such Holder or Beneficial Owner and (2) such redemption shall not constitute an Event of Default under the terms of the Securities or the Indenture, and that following such redemption, such Holder or Beneficial Owner will not have any rights against the Bank with respect to the repayment of the principal amount of, or interest on, the Securities other than recourse to the Corresponding Limited Recourse Trust Assets.

11. Contingent Conversion Upon a Trigger Event

Upon the occurrence of a Trigger Event and immediately following a Contingent Conversion, each Holder will be entitled to receive from the Limited Recourse Trustee, such Holder’s proportionate share of the Corresponding Limited Recourse Trust Assets (subject to Section 9.3 of the Third Supplemental Indenture), such that the subordination provisions of the Securities will not be relevant since all of the Securities will have been converted into Common Shares which will rank on parity with all other Common Shares of the Bank.

The number of Common Shares that will be held by the Limited Recourse Trustee following a Contingent Conversion and immediately before the delivery of the Common Shares (other than any Dividend Common Shares) to Holders will be equal to the product of (a) the number of Preferred Shares held by the Limited Recourse Trustee immediately prior to a Contingent Conversion, times (b) the quotient obtained by dividing (i) the Multiplier multiplied by the Share Value, divided by (ii) the Conversion Price (rounding down, if necessary, to the nearest whole number of Common Shares).

Notwithstanding any other provision in this Security or in the Indenture, the occurrence of a Trigger Event and the delivery of Common Shares to the Holders pursuant to the provisions hereof shall not be an Event of Default and the only consequence of a Trigger Event shall be the right of the Holders to receive the Corresponding Limited Recourse Trust Assets (which shall be the fully-paid Common Shares then held by the Limited Recourse Trustee pursuant to a Contingent Conversion (other than any Dividend Common Shares)).

12. Defined Terms

All terms used in this Security not otherwise defined herein that are defined in the Indenture shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture.

13. Governing Law

Except as otherwise provided in the Indenture or in this Security, this Security and the Indenture shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, except for Sections 3 and 11 hereof, which shall be governed by the laws of the Province of Ontario and the Federal laws of Canada applicable therein.

We have examined the Registration Statement on Form F-3 (File No. 333-262557) (the “Registration Statement”) filed by the Bank under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), as it became effective under the Securities Act; the prospectus dated March 4, 2022 (the “Base Prospectus”), as supplemented by the preliminary prospectus supplement relating to the Securities dated June 24, 2024 (together with the Base Prospectus, the “Preliminary Prospectus”), filed by the Bank pursuant to Rule 424(b) of the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) under the Securities Act and the prospectus supplement dated June 24, 2024 relating to the Securities (together with the Base Prospectus, the “Prospectus”), filed by the Bank pursuant to Rule 424(b) of the rules and regulations of the Commission under the Securities Act, in each case, including the documents filed by the Bank under the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, that are incorporated by reference in each of the Preliminary Prospectus and the Prospectus, as the case may be; the pricing term sheet dated June 24, 2024 relating to the Securities, filed by the Bank as a free writing prospectus pursuant to Rule 433 of the rules and regulations of the Commission under the Securities Act (the “Pricing Term Sheet” and, together with the Preliminary Prospectus, the “Pricing Disclosure Package”); the Underwriting Agreement; the Subscription Agreement for Preferred Shares, dated June 28, 2024, between the Bank and the Trust; the Indenture, dated as of September 15, 2016 (the “Base Indenture”), among the Bank, Computershare Trust Company, National Association, as U.S. trustee (the “U.S. Trustee”) and Computershare Trust Company of Canada, as Canadian trustee (together with the U.S. Trustee, the “Trustees”), relating to the Notes,

as supplemented by the Third Supplemental Indenture, dated as of July 3, 2024 (together with the Base Indenture, the “Indenture”), among the Bank and the Trustees, relating to the Notes; duplicates of the global notes representing the Notes; the Terms of Non-Cumulative Fixed Rate Reset Class A First Preferred Shares Series 31 (Non-Viability Contingent Capital (NVCC)) (the “Share Terms”) establishing the terms of the Preferred Shares expected to be filed with The System for Electronic Document Analysis and Retrieval (SEDAR); and a copy of the share certificate representing the Preferred Shares.

We have relied as to matters of fact upon the representations and warranties contained in the Underwriting Agreement. In addition, we have examined, and have relied as to matters of fact upon, the documents delivered to you at the closing and upon originals, or duplicates or certified or conformed copies, of such records, agreements, documents and other instruments and such certificates or comparable documents of public officials and of officers and representatives of the Bank and have made such other investigations, as we have deemed relevant and necessary in connection with the opinions hereinafter set forth.

In rendering the opinions set forth below, we have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, the legal capacity of natural persons, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, the conformity to original documents of all documents submitted to us as duplicates or certified or conformed copies and the authenticity of the originals of such latter documents.

In rendering the opinions set forth below, we have further assumed that (1) the Bank is validly existing and in good standing under Canadian law and has duly authorized, executed, issued and delivered the Underwriting Agreement, the Indenture, the Notes and the Preferred Shares, as applicable, in accordance with the Bank Act (Canada), the Bank’s by-laws and Canadian law, (2) the execution, issuance, delivery and performance by the Bank of the Underwriting

TD Securities (USA) LLC, et al.   4 July 3, 2024

Agreement, the Indenture, the Notes and the Preferred Shares, as applicable, do not constitute a breach or violation of the Bank Act (Canada) or the Bank’s by-laws, or violate Canadian law or the law of any other jurisdiction (except that no such assumption is made with respect to the law of the State of New York or the federal law of the United States) and (3) the execution, issuance, delivery and performance by the Bank of the Underwriting Agreement, the Indenture, the Notes and the Preferred Shares, as applicable, do not constitute a breach or default under any agreement or instrument which is binding upon the Bank (except that the assumption set forth in this clause (3) is not made with respect to the agreements or instruments identified on the annexed Schedule I). We have also assumed the Preferred Shares have been duly authorized, and are validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable. In addition, in rendering the opinion set forth in paragraph 10, we have assumed that the Underwriting Agreement is a validly and legally binding obligation of the Underwriters.

Based upon the foregoing, and subject to the qualifications, assumptions and limitations stated herein, we are of the opinion that:

1. The Indenture has been duly executed and delivered by the Bank in accordance with the law of the State of New York and duly qualified under the U.S. Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended, and, assuming that the Indenture is the valid and legally binding obligation of the Trustees, the Indenture constitutes a valid and legally binding obligation of the Bank enforceable against the Bank in accordance with its terms; provided, however, that we express no opinion with respect to the subordination provisions of the Indenture or the provisions of the Indenture relating to a Contingent Conversion upon a Trigger Event (as such terms are defined in the Indenture) that, under the terms of the Indenture, are governed by the law of the Province of Ontario and the federal law of Canada applicable therein.

2. The Notes have been duly issued by the Bank in accordance with the law of the State of New York and, assuming due authentication thereof by the U.S. Trustee, and upon payment and delivery in accordance with the Underwriting Agreement, the Notes will constitute valid and legally binding obligations of the Bank enforceable against the Bank in accordance with their terms and entitled to the benefits of the Indenture; provided, however, that we express no opinion with respect to the subordination provisions of the Notes or the provisions of the Notes relating to a Contingent Conversion upon a Trigger Event (as such terms are defined in the Indenture) that, under the terms of the Notes, are governed by the law of the Province of Ontario and the federal law of Canada applicable therein.

3. The Underwriting Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the Bank in accordance with the law of the State of New York.

4. The issue and sale of the Notes by the Bank, the issue of the Preferred Shares by the Bank, the execution, delivery and compliance by the Bank with the Underwriting Agreement and the execution and delivery by the Bank of the Indenture will not breach or result in a default under any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan agreement or other agreement or instrument identified on the annexed Schedule I, nor will such actions violate any U.S. federal or New York State statute or any rule or regulation that has been issued pursuant to any U.S. federal or New York State statute, except that it is understood that no opinion is given in this paragraph 4 with respect to any U.S. federal or state securities law or any rule or regulation issued pursuant to any U.S. federal or state securities law.

5. No consent, approval, authorization or order of, or registration or qualification with, any U.S. federal or New York State governmental agency or body or, to our knowledge, any U.S. federal or New York State court is required for the issue and sale of the Notes by the Bank, the issue of the Preferred Shares by the Bank, the execution, delivery and performance by the Bank of the Underwriting Agreement, and the execution and delivery by the Bank of the Indenture, except that it is understood that no opinion is given in this paragraph 5 with respect to any U.S. federal or state securities law or any rule or regulation issued pursuant to any U.S. federal or state securities law.

6. The Registration Statement has become effective under the Securities Act; and, to our knowledge, no stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement has been issued and no proceeding for that purpose has been instituted or threatened by the Commission.

7. The statements made in the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Prospectus under the captions “Description of the Notes” and “Description of the Debt Securities” (including, in the case of the Pricing Disclosure Package, the information set forth in the Pricing Term Sheet), insofar as they purport to constitute summaries of certain terms of the Indenture and the Notes referred to therein, constitute accurate summaries of such terms in all material respects; provided that we express no opinion with respect to the statements with respect to the subordination provisions of the Indenture or the Notes or the provisions of the Indenture or the Notes relating to a Contingent Conversion upon a Trigger Event (as such terms are defined in the Indenture) that, under the terms of the Indenture, are governed by the law of the Province of Ontario and the federal law of Canada applicable therein.

8. The statements made in each of the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Prospectus under the caption “Tax Consequences—United States Taxation,” as supplemented by the statements made in each of the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Prospectus under the caption “Certain U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations”, insofar as they purport to constitute summaries of certain provisions of U.S. federal income tax law and regulations or legal conclusions with respect thereto, constitute accurate summaries of such matters in all material respects.

9. The Bank is not an “investment company” within the meaning of and subject to regulation under the U.S. Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

10. Assuming that such submission to jurisdiction is valid under Canadian law, under the federal law of the United States and the law of the State of New York relating to submission to personal jurisdiction, the Bank has validly submitted to the personal jurisdiction of the U.S. federal and New York State courts in The City of New York in any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to the Underwriting Agreement pursuant to Section 15 of the Underwriting Agreement and has validly appointed Glenn Gibson as its authorized agent for the purpose described in Section 15 of the Underwriting Agreement.

Our opinions set forth in paragraphs 1, 2 and 10 above are subject to (i) the effects of bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium and other similar laws relating to or affecting creditors’ rights generally, (ii) general equitable principles (whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law), (iii) an implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing and (iv) the effects of the possible application of foreign laws or foreign governmental or judicial action affecting creditors’ rights. Our opinions set forth in paragraphs 1, 2 and 7 above are further limited by considerations of public policy.

Our opinions set forth in paragraphs 4 and 5 above are limited to our review of only the statutes, rules and regulations that, in our experience, are customarily applicable to transactions of the type provided for in the Underwriting Agreement and exclude statutes, rules and regulations that are part of a regulatory scheme applicable to any party or any of their affiliates due to the specific assets or business of such party or such affiliates.

In connection with the provisions of the Indenture and the comparable provisions of the Notes whereby the parties thereto submit to the jurisdiction of the U.S. federal and New York State courts in The City of New York, we note the limitations of 28 U.S.C. §§ 1331 and 1332 on U.S. federal court jurisdiction. In connection with the provisions of the Indenture which relate to forum selection (including, without limitation, any waiver of any objection to venue or any objection that a court is an inconvenient forum), we note that under N.Y.C.P.L.R. §510 a New York State court may have discretion to transfer the place of trial, and under 28 U.S.C. §1404(a) a U.S. district court has discretion to transfer an action from one U.S. federal court to another, and we also note that a New York State court and a U.S. district court may dismiss an action on the ground that such court is an improper venue or inconvenient forum. We note that the recognition and enforcement in New York State courts or U.S. federal courts sitting in the State of New York of a foreign judgment obtained against the Bank is subject to the Uniform Foreign Country Money-Judgments Recognition Act (53 N.Y.C.P.L.R. §5301, et seq.).

We do not express any opinion herein concerning any law other than the law of the State of New York and the federal law of the United States. We understand that you will be relying with respect to all matters of Canadian law on the opinion of McCarthy Tétrault LLP, Canadian counsel to the Bank, dated the date hereof.

This opinion letter is rendered to you in connection with the above-described transaction. This opinion letter may not be relied upon by you for any other purpose, or relied upon by, or furnished to, any other person, firm or corporation without our prior written consent.

Dear Sirs/Mesdames:

Re: The Toronto-Dominion Bank – Issue of US$750,000,000

Aggregate Principal Amount of 7.250% Fixed Rate Reset Limited

Recourse Capital Notes, Series 4 (Non-Viability Contingent

Capital (NVCC)) and 750,000 Non-Cumulative Fixed Rate Reset

Preferred Shares, Series 31 (Non-Viability Contingent Capital

(NVCC))

We have acted as Canadian counsel for The Toronto-Dominion Bank (the “Bank”) in connection with the issue and sale by the Bank of (i) US$750,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 7.250% Fixed Rate Reset Limited Recourse Capital Notes, Series 4 (Non-Viability Contingent Capital (NVCC)) (the “Notes”) pursuant to an underwriting agreement dated June 24, 2024, between the Bank and TD Securities (USA) LLC as Representative of the several Underwriters named in Schedule I therein (the “Underwriting Agreement”), and (ii) 750,000 Non-Cumulative Fixed Rate Reset Preferred Shares, Series 31 (Non-Viability Contingent Capital (NVCC)) (the “Preferred Shares” and, collectively with the Notes, the “Securities”).

The Securities are being offered for sale pursuant to a Registration Statement on Form F-3 (File No. 333-262557) and the Bank’s prospectus dated March 4, 2022 (the “Base Shelf Prospectus”), as supplemented by a preliminary prospectus supplement of the Bank dated June 24, 2024 relating to the Securities (the “Preliminary Prospectus Supplement”), as further supplemented by a prospectus supplement of the Bank dated June 24, 2024 relating to the Securities (the “Final Prospectus Supplement”,” and together with the Base Shelf Prospectus and the Preliminary Prospectus Supplement, the “Prospectus”).

The Notes will be issued under a trust indenture dated September 15, 2016 (the “Base Indenture”), between the Bank, Computershare Trust Company, National Association, as U.S. trustee (the “US Trustee”), and Computershare Trust Company of Canada, as Canadian trustee (the “Canadian Trustee”), as supplemented by a third supplemental indenture dated July 3, 2024, between the Bank, the US Trustee and the Canadian Trustee (the “Supplemental Indenture”, and together with the Base Indenture, the “Indenture”).

Capitalized terms used herein not otherwise defined have the meaning given to them in the Prospectus.

The Preferred Shares will convert, upon a Trigger Event (as defined in the Prospectus), into common shares in the capital of the Bank (the “Common Shares”), subject to certain conditions as described in the Prospectus.

As such counsel, we have examined originals or copies, certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction, of each of the following documents:

(i) the Prospectus;

(ii) the Underwriting Agreement;

(iii) the Indenture;

(iv) the Limited Recourse Trust Declaration; and

(v) the provisions attached to the Preferred Shares.

We have also examined originals or copies, certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction, of such other documents, records of corporate proceedings, certificates and acknowledgements of officers of the Bank and of governmental officials and such other material as we have considered necessary or appropriate for the purpose of the opinions hereinafter expressed.

For purposes of the opinions hereinafter expressed, we have assumed that:

(i) the documents examined by us which purport to be originals are authentic and those which purport to be copies, whether facsimile, electronic, photostatic, certified or otherwise, conform with the originals thereof and the signatures on all documents examined or received by us are genuine;

(ii) the indices and filing systems maintained at the public offices and registries where we have searched or made enquiries and the information and advice provided to us by appropriate government, regulatory and other like officials with respect to those matters referred to herein, are accurate, current and complete; and

(iii) each of the documents, instruments or agreements executed in connection with the issue, sale or distribution of the Securities is within the capacity of, and has been validly authorized, executed and delivered and, if applicable, certified by, each party other than the Bank.

The opinions expressed below are limited to the laws of the Province of Ontario and the federal laws of Canada applicable therein as such laws exist and are construed as at the date hereof.

Based upon the foregoing and subject to the qualifications expressed herein, we are of the opinion that:

1. The Bank is validly existing as a bank under the Bank Act (Canada) and has the corporate power to create, issue and sell the Securities and to issue the Common Shares upon the conversion of the Preferred Shares upon the occurrence of a Trigger Event.

2. The issue, sale and delivery of the Notes have been duly authorized by the Bank and all necessary corporate action has been taken by the Bank to validly issue the Notes and such Notes have been duly executed by the Bank and when such Notes have been duly authenticated and issued in accordance with the Indenture and delivered against payment in accordance with the Underwriting Agreement, such Notes will be validly issued and to the extent validity of the Notes is a matter governed by the laws of the Province of Ontario or the federal laws of Canada applicable therein, will be valid obligations of the Bank.

3. All necessary corporate action has been taken by the Bank to authorize the creation, issue and sale of the Preferred Shares and, assuming receipt in full by the Bank of the consideration therefor, the Preferred Shares have been duly issued as fully paid and non-assessable shares in the capital of the Bank.

4. All necessary corporate action has been taken by the Bank to issue the Common Shares on the conversion of the Preferred Shares upon the occurrence of a Trigger Event and such Common Shares, when issued in accordance with the terms of the Notes, will be validly issued as fully paid and non-assessable shares in the capital of the Bank.

5. The Indenture has been duly authorized, executed and, to the extent delivery is a matter governed by the laws of the Province of Ontario and the federal laws of Canada applicable therein, delivered by the Bank and, with respect to the provisions thereof governed by the laws of the Province of Ontario and the federal laws of Canada applicable therein, constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Bank enforceable against it in accordance with its terms.

6. The execution and delivery by the Bank of, and the performance by the Bank of its obligations under the Indenture and the Notes; and the creation, issuance and sale of the Securities; do not contravene any existing provision of applicable law or result in a breach (whether after notice or lapse of time or both) of any of the terms, conditions or provisions of the Bank Act (Canada) or the by-laws of the Bank.

7. Subject to the assumptions, limitations and qualifications set out therein, the statements as to matters of the laws of Canada under the heading “Certain Canadian Federal Income Tax Consequences” in the Final Prospectus Supplement are accurate in all material respects.

Our opinion in paragraph 5 above as to the enforceability of the Indenture is subject to the qualifications that:

(i) the enforceability thereof is subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, arrangement, winding up, moratorium and other laws of general application limiting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and to general principles of equity, including that specific performance, injunctive relief and other equitable remedies may be granted only in the discretion of a court of competent jurisdiction;

(ii) the Currency Act (Canada), in effect, precludes a court in Canada from giving judgment in any currency other than lawful money of Canada; and

(iii) the enforceability thereof is subject to the Limitations Act, 2002 (Ontario) and we express no opinion whether a court might find any provision in the Indenture to be unenforceable as an attempt to vary, suspend or exclude the ultimate limitation period established by Section 15 of that Act.

Our opinion in paragraph 7 above is limited to the tax matters described herein and does not address any other Canadian federal income tax matters, any other Canadian federal tax matters, any provincial tax matters or any foreign tax matters. Except as noted in the Final Prospectus Supplement, our opinion in paragraph 7 does not take into account or anticipate any changes in law, whether by way of legislative, judicial or governmental decision or action, or in the administrative and assessing practices of the Canada Revenue Agency (“CRA”), and there can be no assurance that the Income Tax Act (Canada) or the Income Tax Regulations made thereunder will not be amended, or the CRA administrative and assessing practices changed, in a manner which will affect the considerations that are identified and reviewed in such opinion.

This opinion is addressed to you and is solely for your benefit in connection with the transactions contemplated above and is not to be used, relied on, circulated or quoted from by any other person or for any other purpose without our prior written consent.

We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to a Current Report on Form 6-K to be incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement. In giving this consent, we do not thereby admit that we are in the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the United States Securities Act of 1933.

Yours truly,

/s/ McCarthy Tétrault LLP
