Each of Purchaser and Seller shall bear all the fees and costs incurred by it in connection with this arbitration, except that all fees and expenses relating to the foregoing work by the Accountant shall be borne by Purchasers, on the one hand, and Seller, on the other hand, in inverse proportion as they may prevail on the matters resolved by the Accountant, which proportionate allocation will also be determined by the Accountant and be included in the Accountant’s written report.

in each of cases (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv), plus interest on such amount from the Closing Date up to but excluding the date on which such payment is made at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate as of the Closing Date, calculated on the basis of a year of three-hundred sixty (360) days and the actual number of days elapsed. Any such payment shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available British pounds sterling (with amounts denominated in currencies other than British pounds sterling being converted to British pounds sterling in accordance with Section 1.2(d)) to the account(s) of the Party entitled to receive such payment, which account(s) shall be identified by Purchasers to Seller or by Seller to Purchasers, as the case may be, not less than two (2) Business Days prior to the date such payment would be due.

indirectly, the right to control or direct the operations of Seller or the Trayport Companies prior to the Closing.

SECTION 6.3 Access and Confidentiality.

(a) From the date hereof until the earlier of the Closing and termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms, subject to applicable Law and insofar as Seller is able pursuant to the terms of the Final CMA Order, (i) Seller shall, and shall direct the Trayport Companies to, permit Purchasers and their agents and representatives to have reasonable access, during regular business hours and upon reasonable advance notice for purposes reasonably consistent with this Agreement, to the properties, premises, facilities, employees and representatives and books and records of the Trayport Companies (and the Seller, to the extent related to the Sale), and (ii) Seller shall, and shall direct the Trayport Companies to, direct their respective employees, agents and representatives to cooperate fully with Purchasers and their agents and representatives to the extent related to the Sale; provided, however, that nothing herein shall obligate Seller or its Affiliates to take any actions that would (A) unreasonably interrupt the normal course of their businesses or (B) result in any waiver of attorney-client privilege or violate any Laws or the terms of any Contract to which Seller or its Affiliates is a party or to which any of their respective assets are subject; provided, however, that Seller shall give notice to Purchasers of the fact that it is withholding information or documents pursuant to this clause (B) and Seller shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause such information or documents to be provided in a manner that would not reasonably be expected to waive such privilege or result in such a violation. Purchasers shall comply, and shall cause its representatives to comply, with all safety, health and security rules applicable to the premises being visited. In each case, Purchasers and their agents and representatives shall comply with the confidentiality obligations contained herein.

(b) After the Closing Date, each Party shall preserve and keep all books and records and all information relating to the accounting, business and financial affairs that are retained by Seller or its Affiliates or obtained by Purchasers hereunder, as the case may be, which information relates to the Trayport Companies prior to the Closing, for five (5) years after the Closing Date, or for any longer period as may be (i) required by any Governmental Authority or (ii) reasonably necessary with respect to the prosecution or defense of any legal action that is then pending or threatened or audit and with respect to which the requesting Party has notified the other Party as to the need to retain such books, records or information. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 6.3(b), the provisions of Article VIII shall govern the preservation, retention and sharing of Tax Returns and Tax work papers. After the Closing Date, Purchasers, on the one hand, and Seller, on the other hand, shall, and shall cause their Affiliates, including in the case of Purchasers, the Trayport Companies, to permit the other Party, its Affiliates and their representatives to have reasonable access to, and to inspect and copy, all materials referred to in this Section 6.3(b) and to meet with officers and employees of such other Parties on a mutually convenient basis during normal business hours to obtain explanations with respect to such materials and to obtain additional information in connection with the preparation of any financial statements or Tax Returns of such other Party or its Affiliates. Purchasers

acknowledge and agree that Seller and its Affiliates have limited information due to the constraints imposed on Seller and its Affiliates by the CMA Orders and that Seller and its Affiliates shall only be required to preserve, or provide access to, such materials referred to in this Section 6.3(b) as it was permitted to receive under the CMA Orders and any derogations therefrom granted by the CMA.

(i) All information provided or obtained in connection with the Sale will be held by Purchasers in accordance with the Non-Disclosure Agreement, dated June 26, 2017, between TMX Group Limited and Guarantor (the “Non-Disclosure Agreement”). In the event of a conflict or inconsistency between the terms of this Agreement and the Non-Disclosure Agreement, the terms of this Agreement will govern. Seller hereby assigns in part, effective as of Closing, to Purchasers or the Trayport Companies, as specified by Purchasers, the rights that Seller or its Affiliates may have under any other confidentiality agreements entered into with respect to any potential alternative transaction similar to the Sale, to the extent assignment is permitted thereby only to the extent that such rights relate to (i) the confidentiality obligations of the counterparty to such agreements with respect to the Trayport Companies and/or (ii) the non-solicitation and/or non-hire obligations of the counterparty to such agreements with respect to the Trayport Companies.

(ii) Seller acknowledges that the success of the Trayport Companies and the Business after the Closing depends upon the continued preservation of the confidentiality of certain information possessed by such Persons and their Affiliates, that the preservation of the confidentiality of such information by such Persons and their Affiliates is an essential premise of the bargain between Seller and Purchasers, and that Purchasers would be unwilling to enter into this Agreement in the absence of this Section 6.3(c)(ii). Accordingly, Seller shall not, and shall procure that its representatives, Affiliates and Affiliates’ representatives will not, directly or indirectly, without the prior written consent of Purchasers, disclose to a third party, any information involving or relating to the Business or any Trayport Company; provided, that the information subject to this Section 6.3(c)(ii) will not include any information that (A) is or becomes generally available to the public other than as a result of a disclosure in violation hereof; (B) is or becomes available to such Person on a non-confidential basis from a source so long as such Person does not know or have reason to believe that the source was prohibited by a contractual, legal, or fiduciary obligation to any Trayport Company from disclosing such information; (C) is independently developed, conceived, or discovered by such Person; provided, further, that the provisions of this Section 6.3(c)(ii) will not prohibit any retention of copies of records or disclosure (I) required by any applicable Law so long as prior notice, when reasonably practicable, is given to Purchasers of such disclosure and a reasonable opportunity is afforded Purchasers to contest the same at Purchasers’ sole cost and expense (it being agreed that the disclosure of financial or other information regarding the Trayport Companies as required by Seller and its Affiliates’ public reporting obligations, shall not require any prior notice or right of Purchasers to contest);

provided that if, in the absence of a protective order, Seller and its Affiliates and their Affiliate’s representatives, as applicable, is, in the opinion of counsel (which may be internal counsel), compelled as a matter of law to disclose such information, such Person may disclose only that part of the information as required to be disclosed, (II) made in connection with the defense of any claim or enforcement of any right or remedy relating to this Agreement or the Sale, or (III) if requested by any Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over such Person or (D) relates to Seller’s or any of its Affiliates’ status as a customer of the Business or becomes available to Seller or any of its Affiliates in such person’s capacity as a customer of the Business.

SECTION 6.4 Efforts; Filings.

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, each of Seller and Purchasers shall use their reasonable best efforts to take, agree to take, or cause to be taken, any and all actions and to do, or cause to be done, any and all things necessary, proper or advisable under applicable Law or otherwise so as to consummate the Sale, and each shall, and shall cause its respective Affiliates to, cooperate fully to that end. Subject to Section 6.3 and the Non-Disclosure Agreement, and to the extent not prohibited by Law or the applicable Governmental Authority, each Party shall (i) permit the other Parties to review and discuss in advance, and consider in good faith the views of the other Parties in connection with, any proposed written (or any material proposed oral) communication with any Governmental Authority (excluding, in the case of communication by Seller and its Affiliates, the CMA to the extent that such communications are not directly in relation to any of this Agreement, the NGX Agreement or Purchasers or their Affiliates) regarding the Sale and (ii) promptly inform the other Parties (and if in writing, provide the other Parties or their counsel with copies) of all correspondence, filings and communications between the Party and any Governmental Authority (excluding, in the case of communication by Seller and its Affiliates, the CMA to the extent that such communications are not directly in relation to any of this Agreement, the NGX Agreement or Purchasers or their Affiliates) regarding the Sale. The Parties may, as each deems advisable and necessary, reasonably designate any competitively sensitive material provided to the other Parties under this Section 6.4 as “outside counsel only.” Such materials and the information contained therein shall be given only to the outside legal counsel of the recipient and will not be disclosed by such outside counsel to employees, officers or directors of the recipient unless express permission is obtained in advance from the source of the materials (Purchasers or Seller, as the case may be) or its legal counsel; provided, however, that materials provided pursuant to this Section 6.4 may be redacted (A) to remove references concerning the valuation of the Trayport Companies, (B) as necessary to comply with contractual arrangements, or (C) as necessary to address reasonable legal privilege concerns.

(b) No Party shall participate in any meeting with any Governmental Authority in connection with this Agreement (or make oral submissions at meetings or in telephone or other conversations) unless it consults with the other Parties in advance and, to the extent not prohibited by such Governmental Authority, gives the other Parties the opportunity to attend and participate thereat; provided, however, that: (i) only Purchasers and their

representatives shall attend and participate in Purchasers’ initial communications with, and all telephone calls from, Canadian securities regulators in connection with the sale of the NGX/Shorcan Equity Interests pursuant to the NGX Agreement and (ii) this Section 6.4(b) shall not apply to meetings or telephone or other conversations which Seller or its Affiliates alone may have with the CMA in relation to the CMA Orders unless such meeting or telephone or other conversation is directly in relation to any of this Agreement, the NGX Agreement or Purchasers or their Affiliates. If Seller or its Affiliates has any material substantive discussions with the CMA regarding any of this Agreement, the NGX Agreement or Purchasers or their Affiliates, Seller shall promptly inform Purchasers of such discussions and the nature and substance thereof (to the extent permitted by the CMA and applicable Law).

(c) Each of Seller and Purchasers agree to, and to cause their respective Affiliates to, use their respective reasonable best efforts to prepare all documentation, to effect all filings and to obtain all permits, consents, clearances, approvals and authorizations of all Governmental Authorities and other Persons necessary to consummate the Sale (or permit the Business to be operated in the same manner following the Sale) as promptly as practicable, in particular, each Party shall, and shall procure that its Subsidiaries and Affiliates (including the Trayport Companies) will, as promptly as practicable, provide the other Parties all such assistance and information as may reasonably be required. If either or both of the Parties receive any request for information or documentary materials from any Governmental Authority (including in relation to the Trayport Companies’ compliance with the CMA Orders), each of the Parties will use their respective reasonable best efforts to respond to and provide reasonably required information in respect of such request to such Governmental Authority as promptly as possible and counsel for the Parties will reasonably cooperate during the entirety of any such process.

SECTION 6.5 Financing.

(a) Purchasers shall use their reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions and to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper or advisable to obtain the Acquisition Financing on the terms and conditions described in the Commitment Letter and, prior to the Closing, shall not permit any amendment or modification to be made to, or any waiver of any provision or remedy under, the Commitment Letter or the definitive agreements with respect thereto, if such amendment, modification or waiver (A) reduces the aggregate amount of the Acquisition Financing, or (B) imposes new or additional conditions or other terms or otherwise expands, amends or modifies any of the conditions to the receipt of the Acquisition Financing or other terms in a manner that would reasonably be expected to (x) make, in any material respect, the timely funding of the Acquisition Financing or satisfaction of the conditions to obtaining the Acquisition Financing less likely to occur or (y) adversely impact, in any material respect, the ability of Purchasers to enforce its rights against other parties to the Commitment Letter or to draw upon and consummate the Acquisition Financing; provided, however, that Purchasers may amend, replace or otherwise modify the Commitment Letter or any definitive agreement with respect thereto to add arrangers, bookrunners, agents, lenders or similar entities who had not executed the Commitment Letter as of the date of this Agreement or

to reassign titles to such parties who had executed the Commitment Letter as of the date of this Agreement; provided, in each case, such amendment, replacement or modification does not, without the prior written consent of Seller: (i) make, in any material respect, the timely funding of the Acquisition Financing or satisfaction of the conditions to obtaining the Acquisition Financing less likely to occur or (ii) adversely impact, in any material respect, the ability of Purchasers to enforce its rights against other parties to the Commitment Letter or to draw upon and consummate the Acquisition Financing.

(b) Purchasers shall use their reasonable best efforts to (i) subject to Section 6.5(c), maintain in effect and satisfy on a timely basis all terms, covenants and conditions set forth in the Commitment Letter within Purchasers’ reasonable control in accordance with the terms and subject to the conditions thereof, (ii) negotiate and enter into definitive agreements with respect to the financing contemplated by the Commitment Letter on the terms and conditions contained in the Commitment Letter, (iii) satisfy all conditions to such definitive agreements that are applicable to Purchasers that are within Purchasers’ control, (iv) if the NGX Sale is not consummated in accordance with the NGX Agreement prior to or contemporaneously with the Closing, draw upon and consummate the Acquisition Financing at or prior to the Closing and (v) if the NGX Sale is not consummated in accordance with the NGX Agreement prior to or contemporaneously with the Closing, fully enforce its rights under the Commitment Letter to draw upon and consummate the Acquisition Financing, subject to the terms and conditions of the Commitment Letter. Purchasers shall keep Seller informed on a reasonably current basis and in reasonable detail with respect to all material activity concerning the status of its efforts to arrange the Acquisition Financing.

(c) If any portion of the Acquisition Financing becomes unavailable on the terms and conditions contemplated in the Commitment Letter or the Commitment Letter becomes terminated or modified in a manner materially adverse to Purchasers for any reason, Purchasers shall use their reasonable best efforts to arrange and obtain alternative financing from alternative sources with conditions to obtaining such alternative financing no less favorable, in the aggregate, to Purchasers than those contained in the Commitment Letter and in an amount at least equal to the Acquisition Financing or such unavailable portion thereof, as the case may be (the “Alternate Financing”), and to obtain a new financing commitment letter with respect to such Alternate Financing (the “New Commitment Letter”) which shall replace the existing Commitment Letter, a copy of which shall be promptly provided to Seller. In the event any New Commitment Letter is obtained, any reference in this Agreement to the “Acquisition Financing” shall mean the financing contemplated by the New Commitment Letter.

(d) For the avoidance of doubt, neither the availability of nor the funding of the Acquisition Financing shall be a condition to the obligation of Purchasers to consummate the Sale.

(e) From the date of this Agreement until the earlier of the Closing Date and the termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms, subject in all respects to the CMA Orders, Seller shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, use commercially reasonable efforts to provide such assistance and cooperation (and to use commercially reasonable efforts to

cause its and their respective representatives to provide such assistance and cooperation) with respect to any Acquisition Financing as is reasonably requested by Purchasers, including using commercially reasonable efforts with respect to: (i) cooperating reasonably with each Lender’s due diligence; and (ii) providing financial information relating only to the Business or the Trayport Companies as may reasonably be requested by a Purchaser; provided that nothing in this Section 6.5(e) shall require Seller, any of its Subsidiaries (including any Trayport Company) or any of its or their respective representatives to prepare any new financial statements or projections that are not prepared in the ordinary course of business and past practice of the Business. Notwithstanding any other provision set forth herein or in any other agreement between Seller and a Purchaser (or its Affiliates), Seller agrees that Purchasers and their Affiliates may share customary projections with respect to the Business or the Trayport Companies with the Lenders identified in the Commitment Letters and to any existing lenders of Purchasers, and that Purchasers, their Affiliates and such Lenders may share such information with potential Lenders in connection with any marketing efforts in connection with the Acquisition Financing, provided that the recipients of such information are subject to customary confidentiality arrangements between Purchasers and such parties (which need not include Seller). None of Seller, any of its Subsidiaries or any of its or their respective directors or officers or other personnel or representatives shall be required by this Section 6.5(e) to take any action or provide any assistance that unreasonably interferes with the ongoing operations of Seller and its Subsidiaries.

(f) Purchasers shall indemnify and hold harmless Seller, its Subsidiaries and its and their respective representatives from and against any and all losses, damages, claims and out-of-pocket costs or expenses, actually suffered or incurred by them in connection with any Acquisition Financing (including any action taken in accordance with this Section 6.5) and any information utilized in connection therewith (other than untrue information provided by Seller or its Subsidiaries or their respective representatives in writing for use in the Acquisition Financing documents), in any case, except to the extent suffered or incurred as a result of the gross negligence, willful misconduct, fraud or intentional breach by or of Seller or its Subsidiaries or their respective representatives. In addition, Purchasers shall, promptly upon request by Seller, reimburse Seller for all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs incurred by Seller or its Subsidiaries in connection with the performance of Seller’s obligations under this Section 6.5.

SECTION 6.6 No Solicitation. Except as provided by Law, during the period commencing on the Closing Date and ending on the second anniversary of the Closing Date, neither Seller nor its Affiliates shall directly or indirectly solicit any person who was an employee or subcontractor of any of the Trayport Companies or the Business on the date hereof or the Closing Date (a “Restricted Person”) to terminate his or her employment with, or otherwise cease his or her relationship with, any of the Trayport Companies or the Business or to become an employee of Seller or any of its Affiliates; provided that nothing in this Section 6.6 ‎shall prohibit Seller or any of its Affiliates from (A) engaging in general solicitations to the public or general advertising not targeted at any Restricted Person, (B) soliciting any Restricted Person whose employment or engagement has been terminated by any Trayport Company following the Closing other than as a response to any inducement or encouragement by the Seller

or any of its Affiliates or (C) soliciting any Restricted Person whose employment or engagement with any Trayport Company has been terminated by the Restricted Person following the Closing other than as a response to any inducement or encouragement by the Seller or any of its Affiliates (but only after at least ninety (90) days have passed since the date of termination of employment or engagement).

SECTION 6.7 Further Assurances. After the Closing Date, each of Seller and Purchasers shall use their commercially reasonable efforts from time to time to do, make, execute and deliver, or cause to be done, made, executed and delivered, at the reasonable request of the other Party, such further acts, assurances, additional documents and instruments (including any assignments, bills of sale, assumption agreements, consents and other similar instruments in addition to those required by this Agreement) as may be reasonably required to give effect to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, and to provide whatever documents or other evidence of ownership as may be reasonably requested by Purchasers to confirm Purchasers’ ownership of the Trayport Companies.

SECTION 6.8 Intercompany Agreements; Intercompany Accounts.

(a) Except as set forth in Section 6.8 of the Seller Disclosure Letter or as otherwise expressly set forth in this Agreement or the Related Agreements, Seller shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, immediately prior to the Closing, execute and deliver such releases, termination agreements and discharges (in forms reasonably acceptable to Purchasers) as are necessary to release and discharge each Trayport Company from any and all Liabilities owed to Seller or any of its Affiliates (other than any Trayport Company). In addition, Seller shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, immediately prior to the Closing, execute and deliver such releases, termination agreements and discharges (in a form reasonably acceptable to Purchasers) as are necessary to (i) release and discharge Seller and each of its Affiliates (other than the Trayport Companies) from any and all obligations owed to any Trayport Company and (ii) terminate all arrangements, commitments, contracts and understandings among Seller and any of its Affiliates, on the one hand, and any Trayport Company, on the other hand, in each case other than those set forth on Section 6.8 of the Seller Disclosure Letter or as otherwise expressly set forth in this Agreement or the Related Agreements.

(b) On or prior to the Closing Date, all intercompany accounts between Seller and/or any of its Subsidiaries (other than any Trayport Company), on the one hand, and any Trayport Company, on the other hand, shall be settled or otherwise eliminated (other than intercompany accounts that arise out of services performed pursuant to Contracts identified in Section 4.15(a)(xiv) of the Seller Disclosure Letter, which shall remain outstanding in accordance with their terms). Intercompany accounts between and among the Trayport Companies shall not be affected by this provision.

SECTION 6.9 Employee Matters.

(a) For the one year period following the Closing Date, Purchasers will provide, or cause one of their Affiliates to provide, each Business Employee who is employed as of the Closing (each a “Continuing Employee”), for so long as he/she remains employed with Purchasers or one of their Affiliates (including any Trayport Company) during such one year period, with (A) base salary at least equal to the base salary provided to the Continuing Employees immediately prior to the Closing and (B) benefits (other than equity compensation or defined benefit pension benefits) that, taken as a whole, are comparable in the aggregate to those provided to Continuing Employees immediately prior to the Closing. For the 2017 fiscal year, Purchasers will provide, or cause one of their Affiliates to provide, on aggregate, a bonus pool that is comparable to, and distributed in a comparable discretionary manner as, the aggregate bonus pool for the Trayport Companies for the 2016 fiscal year.

(b) Except to the extent necessary to avoid the duplication of benefits, Purchasers shall recognize the service of each Continuing Employee with any Trayport Company before the Closing Date as if such service had been performed with Purchasers or their Affiliates (i) for all purposes under the Company Benefit Plans maintained by Purchasers or their Affiliates after the Closing Date (to the extent such plans, programs, or agreements are delivered to Continuing Employees), (ii) for purposes of eligibility and vesting under any employee benefit plans and programs of Purchasers or their Affiliates other than the Company Benefit Plans (the “New Benefit Plans”) in which the Continuing Employee participates after the Closing Date, and (iii) for benefit accrual purposes under any New Benefit Plan that is a vacation or severance plan in which the Continuing Employee participates after the Closing Date.

(c) With respect to any welfare plan (or their equivalent outside the United States) maintained by Purchasers or their Affiliates in which Continuing Employees are eligible to participate after the Closing, Purchasers and their Affiliates shall use commercially reasonable efforts to (i) waive all limitations as to preexisting conditions and exclusions with respect to participation and coverage requirements applicable to such employees to the extent such conditions and exclusions were satisfied or did not apply to such employees under the welfare plans maintained by the Trayport Companies prior to the Closing and (ii) to the extent applicable under any such plan, provide each Continuing Employee with credit for any co-payments and deductibles paid prior to the Closing in satisfying any analogous deductible or out-of-pocket requirements.

(d) Notwithstanding anything in this Section 6.9 to the contrary, nothing contained herein, whether express or implied, shall be treated as an amendment or other modification of any Company Benefit Plan or any employee benefit plan of Purchasers or their Affiliates, or shall limit the right of Purchasers or their Affiliates to amend, terminate or otherwise modify any such Company Benefit Plan or employee benefit plan of Purchasers or their Affiliates following the Closing in accordance with the terms and conditions of such plans. If (i) a party other than the Parties makes a claim or takes other action to enforce any provision in this Agreement as an amendment to any such plan, and (ii) such provision is deemed to be an amendment to such plan even though not explicitly designated as such in this Agreement, then,

solely with respect to such plan, such provision shall lapse retroactively and shall have no amendatory effect with respect thereto. The Parties acknowledge and agree that all provisions contained in this Section 6.9 are included for the sole benefit of the Parties, and that nothing in this Agreement, whether express or implied, shall create any third-party beneficiary or other rights (A) in any other Person, including, without limitation, any Continuing Employee, any participant in any Company Benefit Plan or any employee benefit plan of Purchasers or their Affiliates, or any dependent or beneficiary thereof, or (B) to continued employment with Purchasers or any of their Affiliates.

SECTION 6.10 Directors’ and Officers’ Indemnification.

(a) For a period of six (6) years from and after the Closing, Purchasers shall cause the Trayport Companies to indemnify and hold harmless, and provide advancement of expenses to, all past and present directors and officers of any Trayport Company as of the date hereof (and as of the date of the 2015 Signing and the 2015 Closing) and anyone who becomes a director or officer of any Trayport Company during the period from the date of this Agreement through the Closing (in such capacities) (the “D&O Indemnified Persons”) for all acts and omissions occurring at or prior to the Closing to the same extent such D&O Indemnified Persons are indemnified or have the right to advancement of expenses as of the date of this Agreement by the Trayport Companies pursuant to the organizational documents of any applicable Trayport Company as in existence on the date hereof, in each case, to the fullest extent that such indemnification and advancement is permitted by applicable Law. Purchasers shall cause the organizational documents of the Trayport Companies to contain provisions with respect to indemnification, advancement of expenses and limitation of director and officer liability that are no less favorable to the D&O Indemnified Persons with respect to acts or omission occurring at or prior to the Closing than those set forth in the organizational documents of the Trayport Companies as of the date of this Agreement, which provisions thereafter shall, subject to applicable Law, not be amended, repealed or otherwise modified in any manner that would adversely affect the rights thereunder of any D&O Indemnified Persons for a period of six (6) years from and after the Closing. From and after the Closing, Purchasers shall cause the Trayport Companies to honor, in accordance with their respective terms, each of the covenants contained in this Section 6.10.

(b) If Purchasers, the Trayport Companies or any of their or their successors or assigns (i) shall consolidate with or merge into any other Person and shall not be the continuing or surviving corporation or other entity of such consolidation or merger or (ii) shall transfer all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person, then, in each such case, proper provisions shall be made so that the successors and assigns of Purchasers or the Trayport Companies, as the case may be, shall assume all of the obligations set forth in this Section 6.10.

(c) The obligations of Purchasers, the Trayport Companies and any successors thereto under this Section 6.10 shall not be terminated or modified in such a manner as to adversely affect any D&O Indemnified Person to whom this Section 6.10 applies without the consent of such affected D&O Indemnified Person (it being expressly agreed that the D&O

Indemnified Persons to whom this Section 6.10 applies shall be third-party beneficiaries of this Section 6.10).

SECTION 6.11 Guarantees; Commitments. Purchasers shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to substitute itself or have one of its Affiliates to be substituted for Seller and any of its Affiliates, and for Seller and any of its Affiliates to be released, effective as of the Closing, in respect of all obligations of Seller and any of its Affiliates under each of the agreements set forth on Section 6.11 of the Seller Disclosure Letter (the “London Lease Agreements”). If, as of the Closing, Purchasers or one of their Affiliates shall not have substituted itself for Seller and any of its Affiliates under, and caused Seller and its Affiliates to be released from, any London Lease Agreement, (i) Purchasers shall continue to use commercially reasonable efforts to cause itself or one of its Affiliates to be substituted for Seller and any of its Affiliates, and for Sellers and any of its Affiliates to be released, in respect of all obligations of Seller and any of its Affiliates under each London Lease Agreement and (ii) Purchasers shall indemnify and hold harmless Seller and its Affiliates against any Damages that Seller or any of its Affiliates suffer, incur or are liable for by reason of or arising out of or in consequence of the London Lease Agreements.

SECTION 6.12 Preservation of Privilege. Recognizing that Shearman & Sterling LLP (“Shearman”) has acted as legal counsel to Seller and its Affiliates (including the Trayport Companies) in connection with the negotiation, execution and delivery of this Agreement and the consummation of the Sale (the “Pre-Closing Representation”), and that Shearman intends to or may continue to act as legal counsel to Seller and its Affiliates after the Closing (which Affiliates shall not include the Trayport Companies after the Closing), the Parties hereby agree that after the Closing any attorney-client privilege attaching to communications between Seller, Seller’s Affiliates or the Trayport Companies, on the one hand, and Shearman, on the other hand, to the extent such communications relate to the Pre-Closing Representation, shall belong to and be controlled by Seller, and following the Closing, none of Purchasers nor their Affiliates (which Affiliates shall include the Trayport Companies after the Closing) shall knowingly access any such privileged communications.

SECTION 6.13 Exclusivity. From the date of this Agreement until the earlier of (i) the Closing and (ii) the termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms, Seller shall not, and Seller shall procure that its representatives, Affiliates (including the Trayport Companies) and Affiliates’ representatives will not, directly or indirectly: (A) solicit, initiate, or encourage the submission of any proposal or offer from any Person relating to, or enter into or consummate any transaction relating to, the acquisition of any Securities in the Trayport Companies or any merger, recapitalization, share exchange, sale of all or substantially all of the Trayport Companies’ assets (other than sales of inventory in the Ordinary Course) or any similar transaction or any other alternative to the Sale or (B) participate in any substantive discussions or negotiations regarding, furnish any information with respect to, assist or participate in, or facilitate in any other manner, any effort or attempt by any Person to do or seek any of the foregoing. Seller shall, and shall cause its Affiliates and its and their Affiliates’ representatives

to, immediately discontinue any conduct that would if continued after the date hereof violate any aspect of the immediately preceding sentence.

SECTION 6.14 U.K. Equity Interests. Effective as of and conditioned upon the Closing, except as otherwise expressly set forth herein, Seller hereby waives, and agrees not to exercise or assert, (a) any and all rights such Seller has attached or accruing to the U.K. Equity Interests, including the right to receive all dividends, distributions or any return of capital declared, paid or made by Trayport Holdings Limited on or after the Closing, and (b) any and all rights of pre-emption over any of the U.K. Equity Interests conferred upon it by the articles of association of Trayport Holdings Limited.

SECTION 6.15 Notification of Certain Matters. From the date of this Agreement until the earlier of the Closing Date and the termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms, Seller shall promptly deliver to Purchasers notice (including a reasonably detailed description) of any fact, circumstance or development that constitutes (or would reasonably be expected to constitute or result in) any breach of any representation, warranty or covenant set forth herein that would result in the non-satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article VII. No such notice shall be deemed to avoid or cure any breach of representation, warranty or covenant or constitute an amendment of any representation, warranty, covenant or condition in this Agreement or the Seller Disclosure Letter.

SECTION 6.16 Assignment of Rights Under 2015 SPA.

(a) Effective as of immediately prior to the Closing, Seller shall assign (or cause to be assigned) to Trayport Holdings Limited all of Seller’s and Seller’s Affiliates’ rights under Section 6.2(c) of the 2015 SPA pursuant to the Assignment Agreement.

(b) Purchasers acknowledge that, notwithstanding entry into the Assignment Agreement pursuant to Section 6.16(a), neither Seller nor any of its Affiliates makes (or shall be deemed to have made) any representation, warranty or assurance regarding the validity, legality or enforceability of the Assignment Agreement or the ability of Trayport Holdings Limited to enforce any of Seller’s or its Affiliates’ rights under the 2015 SPA.

(c) Payment in full of any amount due from Seller or Purchasers under this Section 8.1 shall be made to the affected party in immediately available funds within fifteen (15) days after written demand is made for such payment; provided, however, that no such amounts due are required to be paid prior to three (3) Business Days before such amounts are required to be paid to the relevant Taxing Authority.

SECTION 8.2 Preparation and Filing of Tax Returns.

(a) Seller shall timely prepare or shall cause to be timely prepared (i) any combined, consolidated or unitary Tax Return that includes Seller or any of its Affiliates and (ii) any Tax Return of any Trayport Company for any taxable period that ends on or before the Closing Date. Subject to Section 8.5, Seller shall deliver to Purchasers for their review, comment and approval (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld) a copy of such proposed Tax Return (x) in the case of Tax Returns prepared less frequently than on a quarterly basis, at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the due date (giving effect to any validly obtained extension thereof) and (y) in the case of Tax Returns prepared on a quarterly or more frequent basis, at least five (5) Business Days prior to the due date thereof (giving effect to any validly obtained extension thereof). Seller shall timely file or shall cause to be timely filed any Tax Return described in clause (i) of the first sentence of this Section 8.2(a) and shall deliver to Purchasers, and Purchasers shall timely file or cause to be timely filed in the manner prepared by Seller, any Tax Returns described in clause (ii) of the first sentence of this Section 8.2(a). Except to the extent specifically reflected as a Tax liability in the determination of the Closing Working Capital, Seller shall pay, or cause to be paid, to the appropriate Taxing Authority any amounts shown as due on the Tax Returns described in this Section 8.2(a).

(b) Purchasers shall, except to the extent that such Tax Returns are the responsibility of Seller under Section 8.2(a), timely prepare and file or shall cause to be timely prepared and filed all Tax Returns with respect to any Trayport Company.

(c) For any Straddle Period Tax Return of any Trayport Company that is the responsibility of Purchasers under Section 8.2(b), (1) such Straddle Period Tax Returns shall be prepared consistent with the past practice of the Trayport Companies immediately prior to the Closing Date, and (2) Purchasers shall deliver to Seller for its review, comment and approval (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld) a copy of such proposed Tax Return

(accompanied by an allocation between the Pre-Closing Period and the Post-Closing Period of the Taxes shown to be due on such Tax Return) (i) in the case of Tax Returns prepared less frequently than on a quarterly basis, at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the due date (giving effect to any validly obtained extension thereof) and (ii) in the case of Tax Returns prepared on a quarterly or more frequent basis, at least five (5) Business Days prior to the due date thereof (giving effect to any validly obtained extension thereof). Seller shall pay to Purchasers the amount of Taxes shown as due on such Tax Returns that are Excluded Taxes within three (3) Business Days of the due date of such Tax Returns.

(d) Except to the extent required by applicable Law, Purchasers shall not, and shall cause its Subsidiaries not to, amend any Tax Return of any Trayport Company for any Pre-Closing Period or for any Straddle Period without the consent of Seller, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

SECTION 8.3 Refunds, Credits and Carrybacks.

(a) Subject to Section 8.3(c), Seller shall be entitled to any refunds or credits of or against any Excluded Taxes actually received by Purchasers or the Trayport Companies, net of any Taxes or other reasonable out-of-pocket fees, costs and expenses of any outside attorneys, accountants or external other tax advisors with respect to any such refunds or credits, except to the extent such refund or credit is reflected in the determination of Closing Working Capital. Any such Tax refunds or credits for a Straddle Period shall be apportioned between the Pre-Closing Period and the Post-Closing Period pursuant to the principles described in the definition of Excluded Taxes for allocating Taxes with respect to a Straddle Period. Purchasers shall be entitled to any refunds or credits of or against any Taxes other than refunds or credits of or against Excluded Taxes that are described in the first sentence of this Section 8.3(a).

(b) Purchasers shall, and shall cause the Trayport Companies to, promptly forward to Seller or to reimburse Seller for any refunds or credits due Seller (pursuant to the terms of this Article VIII) after receipt thereof, and Seller shall promptly forward to Purchasers or reimburse Purchasers for any refunds or credits due Purchasers (pursuant to the terms of this Article VIII) after receipt thereof.

(c) Purchasers agree that, to the extent permitted by law, none of the Trayport Companies shall elect to carry back any item of loss, deduction or credit which arises in any taxable period ending after the Closing Date (“Subsequent Loss”) into any taxable period ending on or before the Closing Date. If a Subsequent Loss is carried back into any taxable period ending on or before the Closing Date, (i) Seller shall be entitled to any refund of Taxes realized as a result thereof to the extent such Subsequent Loss relates to or affects any Excluded Taxes or that is carried back to a Seller Group Tax Return and (ii) Purchasers shall be entitled to any other refund of Taxes resulting from such Subsequent Loss.

Section 8.4 Tax Contests.

(a) If any Taxing Authority asserts a Tax Claim, then the Party first receiving notice of such Tax Claim promptly shall provide written notice thereof to the other Parties;

provided, however, that the failure of such Party to give such prompt notice shall not relieve the other Party of any of its obligations under this Article VIII, except to the extent that the other Party is actually prejudiced thereby. Such notice shall specify in reasonable detail the basis for such Tax Claim and shall include a copy of the relevant portion of any correspondence received from the Taxing Authority.

(b) Seller shall have the right to control, at its own expense, any audit, examination, contest, litigation or other proceeding by or against any Taxing Authority (a “Tax Proceeding”) in respect of any Trayport Company that relates solely to a taxable period that ends on or before the Closing Date; provided, however, that (i) Seller shall provide Purchasers with a timely and reasonably detailed account of each stage of such Tax Proceeding, (ii) Seller shall consult with Purchasers and offer Purchasers an opportunity to comment before submitting any written materials prepared or furnished in connection with such Tax Proceeding, (iii) Seller shall defend such Tax Proceeding diligently and in good faith as if they were the only party in interest in connection with such Tax Proceeding, (iv) Purchasers shall be entitled to participate, at its own expense, in such Tax Proceeding and receive copies of any written materials relating to such Tax Proceeding received from the relevant Taxing Authority, and (v) Seller shall not settle, compromise or abandon any such Tax Proceeding without obtaining the prior written consent of Purchasers, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

(c) In the case of a Tax Proceeding for a Straddle Period of any Trayport Company, the Controlling Party shall have the right to control, at its own expense, such Tax Proceeding; provided, however, that (i) the Controlling Party shall provide the Non-controlling Party with a timely and reasonably detailed account of each stage of such Tax Proceeding, (ii) the Controlling Party shall consult with the Non-controlling Party and offer the Non-controlling Party an opportunity to comment before submitting any written materials prepared or furnished in connection with such Tax Proceeding, (iii) the Controlling Party shall defend such Tax Proceeding diligently and in good faith as if it were the only party in interest in connection with such Tax Proceeding, (iv) the Non-controlling Party shall be entitled to participate in such Tax Proceeding, at its own expense, if such Tax Proceeding could have an adverse impact on the Non-controlling Party or any of its Affiliates, and (v) the Controlling Party shall not settle, compromise or abandon any such Tax Proceeding without obtaining the prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, of the Non-controlling Party if such settlement, compromise or abandonment could have an adverse impact on the Non-controlling Party or any of its Affiliates. “Controlling Party” shall mean whichever of Seller (on the one hand) or Purchasers (on the other hand) are reasonably expected to bear the greater Tax liability in connection with a Straddle Period Tax Proceeding, and “Non-controlling Party” shall mean whichever of Seller (on the one hand) or Purchasers (on the other hand) are not the Controlling Party with respect to such Straddle Period Tax Proceeding.

(d) Purchasers shall have the right to control, at their own expense, any Tax Proceeding involving any Trayport Company (other than any Tax Proceeding described in Section 8.4(b) or Section 8.4(c)).

(e) Purchasers shall not make any voluntary disclosure or initiate any discussions or examinations with any Taxing Authority, in each case with respect to Taxes of any Trayport Company for any taxable period that ends on or before the Closing Date without the prior written consent of Seller.

Section 8.5 Seller Consolidated Returns. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, (a) Seller shall, subject to this Section 8.5, be entitled to control in all respects, and neither Purchasers nor any of their Affiliates shall be entitled to participate in, any Tax Proceeding with respect to any consolidated, combined or unitary Tax Return that includes Seller and (b) Seller shall not be required to provide any Person with any consolidated, combined or unitary Tax Return or copy thereof that includes Seller; provided, however, that to the extent that such Tax Returns would be required to be delivered to Purchasers and would be subject to Purchasers’ review and approval pursuant to this Agreement but for this Section 8.5, the Person that would be required to deliver such Tax Returns shall instead deliver pro forma Tax Returns relating solely to the relevant Trayport Company and allow Purchasers to review and approve such pro forma Tax Returns (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld), and Seller shall reflect Purchasers’ reasonable comments to such pro forma Tax Returns on the Tax Returns actually filed with Taxing Authorities.

Section 8.6 Cooperation. Each Party shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, provide to the other Party such cooperation, documentation and information as either of them reasonably may request in (a) filing any Tax Return, amended Tax Return or claim for refund, (b) determining a liability for Taxes or an indemnity obligation under this Article VIII or a right to refund of Taxes, (c) conducting any Tax Proceeding, or (d) determining an allocation of Taxes between a Pre-Closing Period and Post-Closing Period. Such cooperation and information shall include providing copies of all relevant portions of relevant Tax Returns, together with all relevant portions of relevant accompanying schedules and relevant work papers, relevant documents relating to rulings or other determinations by Taxing Authorities and relevant records concerning the ownership and Tax basis of property and other information, which any such Party may possess. Each Party will retain all Tax Returns, schedules and work papers, and all material records and other documents relating to Tax matters, of the relevant entities for their respective Tax periods ending on or prior to the Closing Date until the later of (A) the expiration of the statute of limitations for the Tax periods to which the Tax Returns and other documents relate or (B) ten years following the due date (without extension) for such Tax Returns. Thereafter, the Party holding such Tax Returns or other documents may dispose of them after offering the other Party reasonable notice and opportunity to take possession of such Tax Returns and other documents at such other Party’s own expense. Each Party shall make its employees reasonably available on a mutually convenient basis at its cost to provide explanation of any documents or information so provided.

Section 8.7 Tax Sharing Agreements. Anything in this Agreement or any other agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, all liabilities and obligations (a) between Seller or any of its Affiliates (other than the Trayport Companies) on the one hand and the Trayport Companies on the other hand, or (b) at the request of Purchasers, between any of the Trayport

Companies under any Tax allocation or Tax sharing agreement in effect prior to the Closing Date (other than this Agreement) shall cease and terminate as of the Closing Date as to all past, present and future taxable periods, and the Trayport Companies shall thereafter not be bound thereby or have any liability thereunder and all powers of attorney of the Trayport Companies with respect to Taxes shall be terminated as of the Closing Date and shall be of no further force of effect.

Section 8.8 Timing Differences.

(a) Purchasers agree that if (i) there is an audit adjustment (or adjustment in any other Tax Proceeding) made with respect to any Tax Item by any Taxing Authority with respect to Taxes for which Seller is liable or responsible (and which liability is actually satisfied by Seller), and (ii) as a result of such adjustment, Purchasers, the Trayport Companies or any of their respective Subsidiaries or Affiliates receives in a Post-Closing Period an actual reduction in cash Tax liability or any Tax refund in cash, in each case, in or prior to the taxable year in which the audit or other Tax Proceeding is concluded or in the succeeding two taxable years, then Purchasers shall pay to Seller the amount of such reduction or refund within fifteen (15) days of filing the Tax Return in which such reduction or refund is actually realized, except to the extent such reduction or refund is reflected in the determination of Closing Working Capital.

(b) If Purchasers, the Trayport Companies or any of their respective Subsidiaries or Affiliates receives in a Post-Closing Period an actual reduction in cash Tax liability or any Tax refund in cash arising from any deduction arising in respect of any Trayport Transaction Expenses that are borne or paid by Seller, Purchasers acknowledge and agree that they will pay Seller the amount of any such reduction or refund that results from such deduction on a Tax Return of Purchasers or any of their Affiliates (including the Trayport Companies) in or prior to the taxable year in which the applicable Trayport Transaction Expense is paid or in the succeeding two taxable years, which amount shall be paid to Seller within fifteen (15) days of filing the Tax Return in which such reduction or refund is actually realized, except to the extent such reduction or refund is reflected in the computation of Closing Working Capital and increases the Closing Purchase Price.

Section 8.9 Tax Treatment of Payments. Seller, Purchasers and their respective Affiliates shall treat any and all payments under this Agreement (including for breach of warranty or representation) as an adjustment to the Closing Purchase Price for Tax purposes unless they are required to treat such payments otherwise by applicable Tax Laws. Accordingly, any reference in this Agreement to an indemnity in respect of a liability for the Trayport Entities (or their Subsidiaries) or any obligation of the Parties to make a payment in respect of the Trayport Entities (or their Subsidiaries) shall be construed as a reference to a covenant by Seller (for itself and on behalf of its Affiliates) to pay Purchasers (for itself and on behalf of its Affiliates) an amount equal to such liability or payment.

Section 8.10 Sales and Transfer Taxes. Purchasers shall pay and be responsible for all sales, use, value-added, business, goods and services, transfer, stamp duty (including UK stamp duty), documentary, conveyancing or similar taxes or expenses that may be imposed as a result of the Sale, together with any and all penalties, interest and additions to tax

with respect thereto (“Transfer Taxes”), and Seller and Purchasers shall cooperate in timely making all filings, returns, reports and forms as may be required to comply with the provisions of such Tax Laws.

ARTICLE IX

TERMINATION

Section 9.1 Termination. This Agreement may be terminated and the transactions contemplated hereby may be abandoned at any time prior to the Closing:

(a) by the mutual written consent of Purchasers and Seller;

(b) (i) by either Purchasers or Seller, upon written notification to the non-terminating Party by the terminating Party, if any Order permanently prohibiting consummation of the Sale shall have been issued and shall have become final and non-appealable or (ii) by Seller, upon written notification to Purchasers by Seller, if a Governmental Authority issues an Order that prohibits the consummation of the Sale (other than where such Order is of an interim or temporary nature), and Purchasers do not seek to overturn such Order within thirty (30) days of its issuance; provided, however, that a Party shall not have the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 9.1(b) if the failure by such Party or of any of its Affiliates to perform any of its material covenants or obligation under this Agreement has been the cause of, or has resulted in, such Order;

(c) by either Purchaser or Seller, if the Closing has not occurred by December 31, 2017 (the “Outside Date”); provided, however, that neither Purchaser nor Seller shall have the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 9.1(c) if its failure to perform or breach of any of its material covenants, representations, warranties or obligations under this Agreement has been the cause of, or has resulted in, the failure of the Sale to occur on or before such date;

(d) by Seller, if Purchasers shall have breached any of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement that would give rise to the failure of a condition set forth in Section 7.3(a) or Section 7.3(b), which breach cannot be or has not been cured within thirty (30) Business Days after the giving of written notice by Seller to Purchasers specifying such breach (provided that in no event shall such 30 Business Day period extend beyond the Outside Date and provided that Seller is not then in material breach of any of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement);

(e) by Purchasers, if Seller shall have breached any of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement that would give rise to the failure of a condition set forth in Section 7.2(a) or Section 7.2(b), which breach cannot be or has not been cured within thirty (30) Business Days after the giving of written notice by Purchasers to Seller specifying such breach (provided that in no event shall such 30 Business Day period

extend beyond the Outside Date and provided that Purchasers are not then in material breach of any of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement); or

(f) by Seller, if the Closing has not occurred on or prior to the fifth (5^th) Business Day following the date that the Closing should have occurred pursuant to Section 3.1 other than as a result of the failure of Seller to deliver any of the closing deliveries specified in Section 3.4.

Section 9.2 Effect of Termination. If this Agreement is terminated, no Party (or any of its Affiliates, directors, officers, representatives or agents) will have any liability to any other Party to this Agreement, except for any liability arising out of any knowing or willful breach of this Agreement (which shall in all circumstances include a Party’s failure to consummate the Closing on the date that the Closing should have occurred pursuant to Section 3.1) prior to such termination and except for the obligations set forth in Section 6.3(c)(i), this Section 9.2 and Article X, which shall survive termination. For the avoidance of doubt, in the event of any breach of Purchasers’ obligation to consummate the Closing, Purchasers’ liability will include any Damages (including any diminution in value of the Trayport Companies) suffered by Seller and its Affiliates as a result of the failure of the Closing to occur or any resulting violation of the Final CMA Order.

(a) The representations and warranties set forth in Article IV and Article V shall terminate effective as of the Closing and shall not survive the Closing for any purpose, and thereafter there shall be no liability on the part of, nor shall any claim (whether predicated on breach of contract, warranty, tortious conduct, common law, statute, strict liability or otherwise) be made by, any Party or any of their respective Affiliates in respect thereof or (except as provided for in the last sentence of Section 10.3(b) regarding covenants and agreements

contemplating action (or inaction) following the Closing) otherwise in respect of or in connection with this Agreement or transactions contemplated hereby.

(b) After the Closing, there shall be no liability on the part of, nor shall any claim be made by, any Party or any of their respective Affiliates in respect of any covenant or agreement to be performed prior to the Closing. The covenants and agreements that contemplate actions (or inaction) to be taken (or not taken) after the Closing shall survive in accordance with their terms.

(c) For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 10.3 shall not in any way limit Purchasers’ rights to indemnification under Article VIII.

Section 10.4 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York applicable to agreements made and to be performed entirely within such State, without regard to the conflict of laws principles of such State (other than §§ 5-1401 and 5-1402 of the New York General Obligations Law).

Section 10.5 Jurisdiction; Venue; Consent to Service of Process.

(a) Each Party hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the exclusive jurisdiction of courts of the State of New York, County of New York, including the federal courts located therein, should federal jurisdiction requirements exist for any action arising out of or relating to this Agreement. Each of the Parties consents to the jurisdiction of such courts (and of the appropriate appellate courts) in any such action or proceeding and waives any objection to venue laid therein. In addition, each of the Parties irrevocably and unconditionally waives and agrees not to assert by way of motion, as a defense or otherwise (i) any claim that it is not subject to the jurisdiction of the above courts, (ii) that its property is exempt or immune from attachment or execution in any such action or proceeding in the above-named courts, (iii) that such action or proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum, and (iv) that such action or proceeding should be transferred or removed to any court other than one of the above-named courts, or should be stayed by reason of the pendency of some other proceeding in any other court other than one of the above-named courts, or that this Agreement or the subject matter hereof may not be enforced in or by such courts. Each of the Parties hereby agrees not to commence any such action or proceeding other than before one of the above-named courts. Each of the Parties also hereby agrees that any final and non-appealable judgment against a Party in connection with any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and binding on such Party and that such judgment may be enforced in any court of competent jurisdiction, either within or outside of the United States. A certified or exemplified copy of such award or judgment shall be conclusive evidence of the fact and amount of such award or judgment. The foregoing consent to jurisdiction shall not (A) constitute submission to jurisdiction or general consent to service of process in the State of New York, County of New York, for any purpose except with respect to any action or proceeding resulting from, relating to or arising out of this Agreement or (B) be deemed to confer rights on any Person other than the respective Parties to this Agreement.

(b) To the extent that any Party has or hereafter may acquire any immunity from jurisdiction of any court or from any legal process (whether through service or notice, attachment prior to judgment, attachment in aid of execution, execution or otherwise) with respect to itself or its property, each of such Seller or Purchaser hereby irrevocably waives such immunity in respect of its obligations with respect to this Agreement.

(c) Each Party irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for the giving of notices pursuant to Section 10.2 of this Agreement. Nothing in this Section 10.5 shall affect the right of any Party to serve process in any other manner permitted by Law.

Section 10.6 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be an original, with the same effect as if the signatures thereto and hereto were upon the same instrument, and shall become effective when one or more counterparts have been signed by each of the Parties and delivered (by telecopy, electronic delivery or otherwise) to the other Parties. Signatures to this Agreement transmitted by facsimile transmission, by electronic mail in “portable document format” (“.pdf”) form, or by any other electronic means intended to preserve the original graphic and pictorial appearance of a document, will have the same effect as physical delivery of the paper document bearing the original signature.

Section 10.7 Entire Agreement. This Agreement, together with the NGX Agreement, the Related Agreements, the Disclosure Letters and the Non-Disclosure Agreement and all annexes and exhibits hereto and thereto, embody the entire agreement of the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior agreements with respect thereto.

Section 10.8 Amendment, Modification and Waiver. No amendment to this Agreement shall be effective unless it shall be in writing and signed by each Party. Any failure of a Party to comply with any obligation, covenant, agreement or condition contained in this Agreement may be waived by the Party entitled to the benefits thereof only by a written instrument duly executed and delivered by the Party granting such waiver, but such waiver or failure to insist upon strict compliance with such obligation, covenant, agreement or condition shall not operate as a waiver of, or estoppel with respect to, any prior, subsequent or other failure of compliance.

Section 10.9 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement or the application of any such provision is invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision of this Agreement or invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. In the event that any provision hereof would be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, the Parties intend that such provision will be construed by modifying or limiting it so as to be valid and enforceable to the maximum extent compatible with, and possible under, applicable Law, and the Parties agree, to the extent lawful and practicable, to use their reasonable efforts to enter into arrangements to reinstate the intended benefits, net of the intended burdens, of any such provision held invalid, illegal or unenforceable.

Section 10.10 Successors and Assigns; No Third-Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement and all its provisions shall be binding solely upon and inure solely to the benefit of the Parties and their respective permitted successors and assigns, each of which such successors and permitted assigns will be deemed to be a party hereto for all purposes hereof. Nothing in this Agreement, whether expressed or implied, will confer on any Person, other than the Parties or their respective permitted successors and assigns, any rights, remedies or Liabilities; provided, that (a) the provisions of Section 6.10 will inure to the benefit of the D&O Indemnified Persons and (b) the provisions of Section 6.10(a) will inure to the benefit of Seller’s Affiliates. No Party may assign its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the other Parties and any purported assignment without such consent shall be void; provided, that each Purchaser may, without the consent of Seller, assign any or all of its rights or obligations hereunder to any of its Subsidiaries that is wholly owned by such Purchaser (although no such assignment shall relieve Purchasers of their obligations to Seller). For the avoidance of doubt, the amalgamation or merger (whether forward or reverse) of any Party to this Agreement with one or more Affiliates of such Party shall not constitute an assignment for purposes of this Section 10.10.

Section 10.11 Publicity. With respect to any information in respect of the transactions contemplated hereby which shall not have been previously issued or disclosed, except as required by Law (including the rules and regulations of any applicable stock exchange), each of Seller and Purchasers agree that neither it nor any of its Affiliates will issue a press release or make any other public statement or release any public communication with respect thereto without the prior consultation with the other Party. Purchasers and Seller agree, to the extent possible and legally permissible, to notify, cooperate and consult with, the other Party prior to issuing or making any such public statement (and be provided a reasonable opportunity to comment on such public statement).

Section 10.12 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, EACH OF THE PARTIES IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, SUIT, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM ARISING OUT OF, IN WHOLE OR IN PART, OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE SALE.

Section 10.13 Expenses. Except as otherwise expressly stated in this Agreement, any costs, expenses, or charges incurred by any of the Parties shall be borne by the Party incurring such cost, expense or charge, in each case, whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby shall be consummated. Except as otherwise provided herein, if the Sale is consummated, all costs, expenses and charges incurred and payable by any of the Trayport Companies in connection with the negotiation, preparation, execution and delivery of this Agreement and the Related Agreements and the consummation of the Sale will be Trayport Transaction Expenses.

Section 10.14 Specific Performance and Other Equitable Relief. The Parties hereby expressly recognize and acknowledge that immediate, extensive and irreparable damage would result, no adequate remedy at law would exist and damages would be difficult to

determine if any provision of this Agreement is not performed in accordance with its specific terms or is otherwise breached. Each Party further acknowledges that a breach or violation of this Agreement cannot be sufficiently remedied by money damages alone and, accordingly, each Party shall be entitled, without the need to post a bond or other security, in addition to damages and any other remedies provided at law or in equity, to specific performance, injunctive and other equitable relief to enforce or prevent any violation. Each Party agrees not to oppose the granting of such equitable relief, and to waive, and to cause its representatives to waive, any requirement for the securing or posting of any bond in connection with such remedy.

Section 10.15 Guarantee.

(a) As a material inducement to Purchasers to enter into this Agreement and in recognition of substantial direct and indirect benefits to Guarantor therefrom, Guarantor hereby absolutely, irrevocably and unconditionally guarantees to Purchasers the due and punctual performance by Seller of all of Seller’s obligations and liabilities under or in respect of this Agreement including all of Seller’s payment obligations hereunder and any obligations or liabilities of Seller arising from any breach of this Agreement. Guarantor’s liabilities hereunder are absolute, unconditional, irrevocable and continuing irrespective of any modification, amendment or waiver of or any consent to departure from the terms and conditions of this Agreement that may be agreed to by Seller hereto in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Guarantor agrees that its obligations hereunder shall not be released or discharged, in whole or in part, or otherwise affected by (i) the failure or delay on the part of Purchasers to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any right or remedy against Seller or (ii) any insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization or other similar proceeding instituted by or against Seller. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 10.15 or otherwise, Purchasers hereby agree that Guarantor shall have all defenses to its obligations under this guarantee that would be available to Seller in respect of this Agreement whether pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or pursuant to any applicable Law in connection therewith.

(b) As a material inducement to Seller to enter into this Agreement and in recognition of substantial direct and indirect benefits to TMX Group Limited therefrom, TMX Group Limited hereby absolutely, irrevocably and unconditionally guarantees to Seller the due and punctual performance by TMX Group US of all of TMX Group US’s obligations and liabilities under or in respect of this Agreement including all of TMX Group US’s payment obligations hereunder and any obligations or liabilities of TMX Group US arising from any breach of this Agreement. TMX Group Limited’s liabilities hereunder are absolute, unconditional, irrevocable and continuing irrespective of any modification, amendment or waiver of or any consent to departure from the terms and conditions of this Agreement that may be agreed to by TMX Group US hereto in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. TMX Group Limited agrees that its obligations hereunder shall not be released or discharged, in whole or in part, or otherwise affected by (i) the failure or delay on the part of Seller to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any right or remedy against TMX Group US or (ii) any insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization or other similar proceeding instituted by or against TMX Group US. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 10.15 or otherwise, Seller hereby agrees that TMX Group Limited shall have all defenses to its obligations under this

guarantee that would be available to TMX Group US in respect of this Agreement whether pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or pursuant to any applicable Law in connection therewith.
