charge securityholders any short-term trading fees, switch fees,

Terminating Funds at fair market value, determine distributions and
distribute the net assets to securityholders.
For Client Name Accounts:
If securities of the Terminating Funds held in a registered
account are not redeemed or switched on or before the Termination
Date, the proceeds from the termination will be switched to the
applicable series of TD Canadian Money Market Fund or TD U.S.
Money Market Fund (US$) with the equivalent currency.
If securities of the Terminating Funds held in a non-registered
account are not redeemed or switched on or before Termination Date,
the proceeds from the termination will be deposited to the bank
account on file or, where bank account information is unavailable,
a cheque will be issued.
For Client Nominee Accounts:
If securities of the Terminating Funds held in a nominee account
under a dealer name are not redeemed or switched on or before the
Termination Date, the proceeds from the termination will be paid to
the cash position in the applicable nominee account.
