Item 2.03 Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.

     On September 24, 2008, TD AMERITRADE Holding Corporation announced a commitment of up to $50 million to protect its clients’ positions in The Primary Fund, a money market mutual fund managed by The Reserve, an independent mutual fund company. Based upon the latest information from The Reserve and other public information, TD AMERITRADE believes that The Primary Fund’s net asset value upon an orderly liquidation will be $0.97 per share. On September 26, 2008 TD AMERITRADE announced a commitment of up to $5 million to address client investments in The International Liquidity Fund, another money market mutual fund managed by The Reserve. Based on TD AMERITRADE’s best understanding of this fund’s status, TD AMERITRADE believes this commitment will be enough to mitigate client losses, should they receive less than $1.00 per share of the fund upon redemption.

     In the event its clients receive less than $1.00 per share of these funds upon liquidation, TD AMERITRADE will commit up to $50 million for clients in The Primary Fund and up to $5 million for clients in the International Liquidity Fund to mitigate client losses. These commitments are considered an obligation under an off-balance sheet arrangement.
