It is agreed that no amounts set forth on the Revised Statement, including the Revised Adjustment Amount (or any component thereof), or the Estimated Adjustment Amount (or any component thereof) shall be adjusted in any way for changes in the value of Purchaser Common Stock.

(b) For thirty (30) days following the delivery of the Revised Statement, Purchaser shall provide Sellers and their Affiliates and their authorized representatives with reasonable access to the relevant books, records, employees and representatives of Purchaser reasonably requested by Sellers to evaluate and assess the calculation of the Revised Adjustment Amount, Revised Closing Cash, Revised Closing Indebtedness and Revised Trayport Transaction Expenses, including using reasonable best efforts to cause Purchaser’s accountants to cooperate and assist Sellers, their Affiliates and representatives in evaluating the calculation of the Revised Adjustment Amount, Revised Closing Cash, Revised Closing Indebtedness and Revised Trayport Transaction Expenses.

(c) Within thirty (30) days following receipt of the Revised Statement, Sellers shall deliver to Purchaser in writing either their (i) agreement as to the calculation of the Revised Adjustment Amount, Revised Closing Cash, Revised Closing Indebtedness and Revised Trayport Transaction Expenses or (ii) notice of dispute thereof, specifying in reasonable detail (A) the nature of such dispute, (B) each item of the Revised Statement with which Sellers disagree, (C) the bases for each such disagreement and (D) Sellers’ calculation of the proper amount of each such disputed item (a “Dispute Notice”). During the thirty (30) days after the delivery of such dispute notice to Purchaser, Purchaser and Sellers shall attempt in good faith to resolve any such dispute and finally determine the final Adjustment Amount, Revised Closing Cash, Revised Closing Indebtedness and Revised Trayport Transaction Expenses (if any). If, at the end of such thirty (30)-day period, Purchaser and Sellers have failed to reach an agreement with respect to the final Adjustment Amount, the matter shall be submitted to KPMG LLP, which shall act as arbitrator solely with respect to determining the disputed items. If KPMG LLP is unable to serve, Purchaser and Sellers shall jointly select another nationally recognized accounting firm that is not the independent auditor for either Sellers or Purchaser and is otherwise neutral and impartial to act as such arbitrator; provided, however, that if Sellers and Purchaser are unable to select such other accounting firm within thirty (30) days after delivery of a Dispute Notice, each of Purchaser and Sellers shall cause its respective selected nationally recognized accounting firm to select another firm meeting the requirements set forth above or a neutral and impartial certified public accountant with significant relevant experience to act as such arbitrator. The accounting firm or accountant so selected shall be referred to herein as the “Accountant.” The Accountant shall determine the final Adjustment Amount, final Closing Cash, final Closing Indebtedness and final Trayport Transaction Expenses (if any) in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement. In making its determinations, the Accountant shall not assign a value to any disputed item that is greater than the highest value attributed to such item, or that is less than the lowest value attributed to such disputed item, in the Revised Statement and the Dispute Notice, respectively. The Accountant shall deliver to Sellers and Purchaser, as promptly as practicable and in any event within thirty (30) days after its appointment, a written report setting forth the resolution of the final Adjustment Amount, final Closing Cash, final Closing Indebtedness and final Trayport Transaction Expenses (if any). Such report shall be final and binding upon the Parties to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law and may be enforced in any court having jurisdiction. Each of Purchaser and Sellers 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 Purchaser, on the one hand, and Sellers, 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.

(d) On the fifth (5th) Business Day after Purchaser and Sellers agree to the final Adjustment Amount, final Closing Cash, final Closing Indebtedness and final Trayport Transaction Expenses (if any) (or after Purchaser and Sellers receive notice of any final determination of the final Adjustment Amount, final Closing Cash, final Closing Indebtedness and final Trayport Transaction Expenses (if any) pursuant to the procedures set forth in Section 3.7(c)), then:

(i) (A) if the final Adjustment Amount shall exceed the Estimated Adjustment Amount, then Purchaser shall pay to Sellers an amount of cash in dollars equal to such excess and (B) if the Estimated Adjustment Amount shall exceed the final Adjustment Amount, then Sellers shall pay to Purchaser an amount of cash in dollars equal to such excess;

(ii) (A) if the final Closing Cash shall exceed the Estimated Closing Cash, then Purchaser shall pay to Sellers an amount of cash in dollars equal to such excess and (B) if the Estimated Closing Cash shall exceed the final Closing Cash, then Sellers shall pay to Purchaser an amount of cash in dollars equal to such excess;

(iii) (A) if the Estimated Closing Indebtedness shall exceed the final Closing Indebtedness, then Purchaser shall pay to Sellers an amount of cash in dollars equal to such excess and (B) if the final Closing Indebtedness shall exceed the Estimated Closing Indebtedness, then Sellers shall pay to Purchaser an amount of cash equal to such excess;

(iv) (A) if the Estimated Trayport Transaction Expenses shall exceed the final Trayport Transaction Expenses, then Purchaser shall pay to Sellers an amount of cash in dollars equal to such excess and (B) if the final Trayport Transaction Expenses shall exceed the Estimated Trayport Transaction Expenses, then Sellers shall pay to Purchaser an amount of cash in dollars equal to such excess; and

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 federal funds wire transfer of immediately available dollars (with amounts denominated in currencies other than dollars being converted to dollars 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 Purchaser to Sellers or by Sellers to Purchaser, as the case may be, not less than two (2) Business Days prior to the date such payment would be due.

SECTION 3.8 Withholding. The Purchaser will be entitled to deduct and withhold, or cause to be deducted and withheld, from any amounts payable pursuant to or as contemplated by this Agreement any withholding Taxes or other amounts required under the Code or any applicable Law to be deducted and withheld. The Purchaser and the Sellers hereby acknowledge that, absent a change in applicable Law after the date hereof, provided that Sellers have satisfied their obligations under Section 3.4, the Purchaser shall not deduct or withhold any U.S. federal Taxes or U.K. Taxes from the payment of the Closing Payment under Section 3.3 of

this Agreement. In any case where such withholding or deduction is required, the Purchaser shall use reasonable efforts to provide notice to the Sellers at least ten (10) Business Days prior to withholding any amount pursuant to this Section 3.8, and the parties shall use reasonable efforts to reduce or avoid such withholding where possible. To the extent that any such amounts are so deducted or withheld, such amounts will be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made. The Sellers and the Purchaser shall cooperate in completing any procedural formalities necessary for the Purchaser to obtain authorization to make payments under this Agreement without any withholding or deduction for or on account of Tax. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, any compensatory amounts subject to payroll reporting and withholding payable pursuant to or as contemplated by this Agreement shall be payable in accordance with the payroll procedures of the applicable Trayport Company.

documents to be provided in a manner that would not reasonably be expected to waive such privilege or result in such a violation. Purchaser 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, Purchaser and its agents and representatives shall comply with the confidentiality obligations contained herein.

(b) Each Party hereto shall preserve and keep all books and records and all information relating to the accounting, business and financial affairs that are retained by Sellers or their Affiliates or obtained by Purchaser 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 6.2(b), the provisions of Article VIII shall govern the preservation, retention and sharing of Tax Returns and Tax work papers. After the Closing Date, Purchaser, on the one hand, and Sellers and GFI, on the other hand, shall, and shall cause their Affiliates, including in the case of Purchaser, the Trayport Companies, to permit the other Parties, their Affiliates and their representatives to have reasonable access to, and to inspect and copy, all materials referred to in this Section 6.2(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, to obtain additional information in connection with the preparation of any financial statements or Tax Returns of such other Parties or their Affiliates.

(i) All information provided or obtained in connection with the Sale (including pursuant to subsection (a) above) will be held by Purchaser in accordance with the Non-Disclosure Agreement, dated May 6, 2015, between Purchaser and GFI and amended on August 7, 2015 (as amended, 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. GFI hereby assigns in part, effective as of Closing, to Purchaser or the Trayport Companies, as specified by Purchaser, the rights that GFI 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) Each 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 Sellers and Purchaser, and that Purchaser would be unwilling to enter into this Agreement in the absence of this

Section 6.2(c)(ii). Accordingly, each Seller shall not, and shall procure that its representatives, Affiliates and Affiliates’ representatives will not, directly or indirectly, without the prior written consent of Purchaser, 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 6.2(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 6.2(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 Purchaser of such disclosure and a reasonable opportunity is afforded Purchaser to contest the same at Purchaser’s sole cost and expense (it being agreed that the disclosure of financial or other information regarding the Trayport Companies as required by GFI’s or BGCP’s public reporting obligations, shall not require any prior notice or right of Purchaser to contest); provided that if, in the absence of a protective order, GFI, each Seller, their 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 Sellers’ or any of their respective Affiliates’ status as a customer of the Business or becomes available to Sellers or any of their respective Affiliates in such person’s capacity as a customer of the Business.

SECTION 6.3 Efforts; Filings.

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, each of GFI, Sellers and Purchaser 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, including taking actions to avoid the imposition of an Order preventing or delaying the consummation of the Sale, so as to, as promptly as practicable, consummate the Sale, and each shall, and shall cause its respective Affiliates to, cooperate fully to that end. Subject to Section 6.2 and the Non-Disclosure Agreement, 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 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 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 6.3 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 (Purchaser or Sellers, as the case may be) or its legal counsel; provided, however, that materials provided pursuant to this Section 6.3 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) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 6.3(a), Purchaser shall not be required to (and Sellers shall not and shall not permit the Trayport Companies to) (i) agree to sell, divest, hold separate, license or otherwise dispose of assets or businesses of Purchaser or its Subsidiaries or Affiliates (including the Trayport Companies) (each, a “Divestiture”) or (ii) otherwise take or commit to take actions (each, an “Action”) that after the Closing Date would limit the Purchaser’s or its Subsidiaries’ or Affiliates’ (including the Trayport Companies’) freedom of action with respect to, or its ability to retain, one or more of its or its Subsidiaries’ (which term shall include the Trayport Companies) or Affiliates’ businesses, product lines or assets, in each case, in order to avoid the entry of, or to effect the dissolution of, any injunction, temporary restraining order or other order in any suit or proceeding that would otherwise have the effect of preventing or materially delaying the Closing; provided, however, that Purchaser shall be required to agree to such Divestitures or Actions pursuant to this Section 6.3, if such Divestitures or Actions (individually or in the aggregate) relate only to the Trayport Entities and would not be reasonably likely to reduce (A) the combined annual revenues of the Trayport Entities by twenty million ($20 million) or more or (B) the combined annual EBITDA of the Trayport Entities by ten million dollars ($10 million) or more, in each case in any twelve month period; provided, further, that the consummation of any such Divestiture or Action shall be contingent upon the consummation of the Sale. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 6.3, Purchaser shall not be required to initiate or defend any litigation with regard to any Order issued or requested by a Governmental Authority.

(c) 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.

(d) Each of Sellers and Purchaser agrees 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. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, (i) each of Sellers and Purchaser agree to make an appropriate filing of a Notification and Report Form pursuant to the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended (“HSR Act”) with respect to Sellers’ receipt of the Aggregate Share Consideration as promptly as practicable, and in any event within ten (10) Business Days after the execution of this Agreement, and to take all other actions necessary to cause the expiration or termination of the applicable waiting periods under the HSR Act (the “HSR Approval”) as soon

as practicable, and (ii) Purchaser agrees to submit advanced draft notifications with any applicable Governmental Authority listed in Section 6.3(d) of the Purchaser Disclosure Letter as promptly as practicable, and in any event within ten (10) Business Days after the execution of this Agreement. If the Parties receive any request for information or documentary materials from any Governmental Authority, the Parties will use their respective reasonable best efforts to respond to such request as promptly as possible and counsel for the Parties will reasonably cooperate during the entirety of any such process. Purchaser shall be responsible for all filing fees under the HSR Act and other Regulatory Laws applicable to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(e) Purchaser shall not, and shall not permit any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates to, acquire or agree to acquire by merging or consolidating with, or by purchasing a substantial portion of the assets of or equity in, or by any other manner, any business or any corporation, partnership, association or other business organization or division thereof, or otherwise acquire or agree to acquire any assets or take any other action if the entering into of a definitive agreement relating to the consummation of such acquisition, merger, consolidation or other action could reasonably be expected to (i) impose any significant delay in the obtaining of or significantly increase the risk of not obtaining, any authorizations, consents, orders, declarations or approvals of any Governmental Authority necessary to consummate the Sale or the expiration or termination of any applicable waiting period, (ii) significantly increase the risk of any Governmental Authority entering an order prohibiting the consummation of the Sale, (iii) significantly increase the risk of not being able to remove any such order on appeal or otherwise, or (iv) significantly delay or prevent the consummation of the Sale.

SECTION 6.4 Non-Competition.

(a) From the Closing Date until the two-year anniversary thereof, without the prior written consent of Purchaser, and subject to Section 6.4(b), Sellers shall not, and shall procure that their Subsidiaries will not, directly or indirectly, own, control, manage or operate any business that provides software (and related support, hosting and maintenance) to operate trading networks connecting brokers, traders and/or exchanges for the power, natural gas, coal, emissions, freight, oil and iron ore markets in Europe, in each case substantially as conducted at Closing by the Trayport Companies (a “Competing Business”).

(b) Nothing in Section 6.4(a) shall preclude Sellers or any of their Affiliates from:

(i) collectively owning ten percent (10%) or less of the outstanding securities of any Person;

(ii) acquiring and, after such acquisition, owning an interest in any Person (or its successor) that, together with its Subsidiaries, is engaged, directly or indirectly, in a Competing Business if such Competing Business generated less than ten percent (10%) of such Person’s consolidated annual revenues in the last completed fiscal year of such Person;

(iii) acquiring and, after such acquisition, owning an interest in any Person (or its successor) that, together with its Subsidiaries, is engaged, directly or indirectly, in a Competing Business if such Competing Business generated more than ten percent (10%), but less than twenty percent (20%), of such Person’s consolidated annual revenues in the last completed fiscal year of such Person; provided that Sellers shall enter into a definitive agreement to cause the divestiture of the Competing Business within one (1) year after the consummation of such acquisition and has completed such disposition within eighteen (18) months of the date of such definitive agreement (the “Divestiture Period”); provided, further, that if such divestiture has not been consummated due to (x) any applicable waiting period (including extension thereof) applicable to such divestiture under any Regulatory Law, or under any other applicable Law not having expired or been terminated, or (y) the failure to procure or obtain any required governmental or regulatory consents, approvals, permits or authorizations applicable to such divestiture, then the Divestiture Period will automatically be extended so that it expires one (1) week following the later of the expiration or termination of such waiting period and the procurement or obtainment of such consents, approvals, permits and authorizations; provided that in no event shall the Divestiture Period extend beyond thirty (30) months following the acquisition of the Competing Business;

(iv) engaging in any activity that constitutes an immaterial, or non-recurring inadvertent, breach or violation of its obligations pursuant to Section 6.4(a); provided that, upon receiving notice of any such breach, the breaching party promptly ceases the activity causing such breach; and

(c) GFI and Sellers acknowledge and agree that the remedy at law for any breach, or threatened breach, of any of the provisions of Section 6.4(a) will be inadequate, and, accordingly, Sellers hereby acknowledge and agree that Purchaser shall be entitled to equitable relief, including injunctive relief, and to the remedy of specific performance with respect to any breach or threatened breach of Section 6.4(a).

(d) Sellers and Purchaser agree that the terms of the covenants in Section 6.4(a), as modified by Section 6.4(b) are fair and reasonable with respect to their duration, geographical area and scope, including in light of Purchaser’s plans for the Trayport Companies, are necessary to protect the value of the Trayport Companies (including the goodwill related thereto) and were a material and necessary inducement for Purchaser and Sellers to agree to the Sale. If any provision contained in Section 6.4(a), as modified by Section 6.4(b) shall be determined by any court of competent jurisdiction or any Governmental Authority to be unenforceable for any reason whatsoever (including in relation to duration, geographic area or the scope of the activities covered thereby), then the Parties agree that the maximum subject matter, duration, scope, geographic area or other restrictions deemed reasonable under such circumstances by such court shall be substituted for the stated subject matter, duration, scope, geographic area or other restrictions, with it being specifically acknowledged and agreed by Purchaser, GFI and Sellers that it is their continuing desire that each covenant in Section 6.4(a), as modified by Section 6.4(b), be enforced to the full extent of its terms and conditions.

(e) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Sellers’ ownership of shares of Purchaser Common Stock shall not constitute a breach of this Section 6.4.

SECTION 6.6 Intercompany Agreements; Intercompany Accounts.

(a) Except as set forth in Section 6.6 of the Sellers Disclosure Letter or as otherwise expressly set forth in this Agreement or the Related Agreements, GFI and Sellers shall, and shall cause their respective Affiliates to, immediately prior to the Closing, execute and deliver such releases, termination agreements and discharges (in forms reasonably acceptable to Purchaser) as are necessary to release and discharge each Trayport Company from any and all Liabilities owed to GFI, any Seller or any Affiliate thereof (other than any Trayport Company). In addition, GFI and Sellers shall, and shall cause their respective Affiliates to, immediately prior to the Closing, execute and deliver such releases, termination agreements and discharges (in a form reasonably acceptable to Purchaser) as are necessary to (i) release and discharge GFI, each Seller and each Affiliate thereof (other than the Trayport Companies) from any and all obligations owed to any Trayport Company that is set forth on Section 6.6 of the Sellers Disclosure Letter and (iii) terminate all arrangements, commitments, contracts and understandings among any Seller and any Affiliate, on the one hand, and any Trayport Company, on the other hand that is set forth on Section 6.6 of the Sellers Disclosure Letter.

Intercompany accounts between and among the Trayport Companies shall not be affected by this provision.

SECTION 6.7 Employee Matters

(a) For the one year period following the Closing Date, Purchaser will provide, or cause one of its 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 Purchaser or one of its 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.

(b) Except to the extent necessary to avoid the duplication of benefits, Purchaser shall recognize the service of each Continuing Employee with any Trayport Company before the Closing Date as if such service had been performed with Purchaser or its Affiliates (i) for all purposes under the Company Benefit Plans maintained by Purchaser or its 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 Purchaser or its Affiliates other than the Company Benefit Plans (the “New Benefit Plans”) in which the Continuing Employee participates after the Effective Time, 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 maintained by Purchaser or its Affiliates in which Continuing Employees are eligible to participate after the Closing, Purchaser and its 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) 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 to the extent applicable under any such plan.

(e) Notwithstanding anything in this Section 6.7 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 Purchaser or its Affiliates, or shall limit the right of Purchaser or its Affiliates to amend, terminate or otherwise modify any such Company Benefit Plan or employee benefit plan of Purchaser or its Affiliates following the Closing in accordance with the terms and conditions of such plans. If (i) a party other than the parties hereto 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 hereto acknowledge and agree that all provisions contained in this Section 6.7 are included for the sole benefit of the parties hereto, 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 Purchaser or its Affiliates, or any dependent or beneficiary thereof, or (B) to continued employment with Purchaser or any of its Affiliates.

SECTION 6.8 Directors’ and Officers’ Indemnification and Insurance.

(a) For a period of six (6) years from and after the Closing, the Trayport Companies shall 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 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. Purchaser 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, Purchaser shall cause the Trayport Companies to honor, in accordance with their respective terms, each of the covenants contained in this Section 6.8.

(b) Prior to the Closing, Sellers shall, or if Sellers are unable to, Purchaser shall cause the Trayport Companies as of or following the Closing to, purchase a six (6) year prepaid “tail” policy covering those persons covered by the current policies of directors’ and officers’, employed lawyers’ liability insurance and fiduciary liability insurance maintained by the Trayport Companies with respect to claims arising from facts or events that occurred on or before the Closing (including for acts or omissions occurring in connection with the approval of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby) (the “D&O Insurance”); provided that the Trayport Companies shall not pay, and the Trayport Companies shall not be required to pay, for such “tail” policy more than 300% of the current annual premium paid by the Trayport Companies for such D&O Insurance. If such D&O Insurance has been obtained by Sellers or the Trayport Companies prior to the Closing, Purchaser shall cause such D&O Insurance to be maintained in full force and effect, for its full term, and cause all obligations thereunder to be honored by the Trayport Companies. If Sellers or the Trayport Companies shall for any reason fail to obtain such “tail” policy, the Trayport Companies or Purchaser shall maintain for a period of six years after the Closing such D&O Insurance (provided that the Trayport Companies or Purchaser (or any successor) may substitute therefor policies of at least the same coverage and amounts containing terms and conditions which are, in the aggregate, no less advantageous to the insured); provided that in no event shall the Trayport Companies or Purchaser be required to pay in any one year more than 200% of the current annual premium paid by the Trayport Companies for such D&O Insurance; provided, further,

that if the annual premiums of such D&O Insurance exceed such amount, the Trayport Companies or Purchaser shall be obligated to obtain a policy with the greatest coverage available for a cost not exceeding such amount.

(c) If Purchaser, the Trayport Companies or any of its 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 Purchaser or the Trayport Companies, as the case may be, shall assume all of the obligations set forth in this Section 6.8.

(d) The obligations of Purchaser, the Trayport Companies and any successors thereto under this Section 6.8 shall not be terminated or modified in such a manner as to adversely affect any D&O Indemnified Person to whom this Section 6.8 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 6.8 applies shall be third party beneficiaries of this Section 6.8).

SECTION 6.9 Guarantees; Commitments.

(a) Purchaser shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to promptly substitute itself or have one of its Affiliates to be substituted for Sellers and any of their Affiliates, and for Sellers and any of their Affiliates to be released, effective as of the Closing, in respect of all obligations of Sellers and any of their Affiliates under the London Lease and any guarantees, indemnities and letters of credit entered into by Sellers or their Affiliates in the Ordinary Course after the date of this Agreement and to the extent such guarantees, indemnities and letters of credit secure any obligation of the Trayport Companies (collectively, the “Downstream Guarantees”).

(b) Sellers shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to promptly substitute themselves or have one of their Affiliates be substituted for the Trayport Companies, and for the Trayport Companies to be released, effective as of the Closing, in respect of all obligations of Trayport Companies under any guarantees, indemnities and letters of credit entered into by a Trayport Company and securing any obligation of a Seller or one of its Affiliates (other than the Trayport Companies) (collectively, the “Upstream Guarantees”).

(c) If, as of the Closing, Purchaser or one of its Affiliates shall not have substituted itself for Sellers and any of their Affiliates under, and caused Sellers and their Affiliates to be released from, any Downstream Guarantee, (i) Purchaser shall continue to use commercially reasonable efforts to cause itself or one of its Affiliates to be substituted for Sellers and any of their Affiliates, and for Sellers and any of their Affiliates to be released, in respect of all obligations of Sellers and any of their respective Affiliates under any Downstream Guarantee and (ii) Purchaser shall indemnify and hold harmless Sellers and their Affiliates against any Damages that Sellers or any of their Affiliates suffer, incur or are liable for by reason of or arising out of or in consequence of such Downstream Guarantee.

(d) If, as of the Closing, Sellers or one of their respective Affiliates shall not have substituted themselves for the Trayport Companies under, and caused Sellers and their Affiliates to be released from, any Upstream Guarantee, (i) Sellers shall continue to use commercially reasonable efforts to cause themselves or one of their respective Affiliates to be substituted for the Trayport Companies, and for the Trayport Companies to be released, in respect of all obligations of the Trayport Companies under any Upstream Guarantee and (ii) Sellers shall indemnify and hold harmless the Trayport Companies against any Damages that the Trayport Companies suffer, incur or are liable for by reason of or arising out of or in consequence of such Upstream Guarantee.

SECTION 6.10 Preservation of Privilege. Recognizing that Wachtell, Lipton, Rosen & Katz (“WLRK”) has acted as legal counsel to Sellers and their 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 WLRK intends to or may continue to act as legal counsel to Sellers and their 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 Sellers, Sellers’ Affiliates or the Trayport Companies, on the one hand, and WLRK, on the other hand, to the extent such communications relate to the Pre-Closing Representation, shall belong to and be controlled by the Sellers, and following the Closing, none of Purchaser nor its Affiliates (which Affiliates shall include the Trayport Companies after the Closing) shall knowingly access any such privileged communications.

SECTION 6.11 Exclusivity. From the date of this Agreement until the Closing, or the earlier termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms, Sellers shall not, and Sellers shall procure that their 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 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. GFI and Sellers shall, and shall cause their Affiliates and their 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 6.12 No Purchaser Stockholder Approval. Purchaser shall not take any action that would cause the vote of the holders of any class or series of capital stock or other equity interests of Purchaser to be necessary to adopt this Agreement or to consummate any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including the issuance of the shares of Purchaser Common Stock to be issued to Sellers.

SECTION 6.13 Listing. Purchaser shall promptly prepare and submit to the New York Stock Exchange a listing application covering the shares of Purchaser Common Stock issuable to Sellers pursuant to this Agreement and shall use reasonable best efforts to obtain, prior to the Closing Date, approval of the listing of such Purchaser Common Stock, subject to official notice of issuance, and Sellers shall reasonably cooperate with Purchaser with respect to such listing.

SECTION 6.14 U.K. Equity Interests. Effective as of and conditioned upon the Closing, except as otherwise expressly set forth herein, Sellers hereby waive, and agree not to exercise or assert, (a) any and all rights such Sellers have 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 GFI TP Ltd. on or after the Closing, and (b) any and all rights of pre-emption over any of the U.K. Equity Interests conferred upon them by the articles of association of GFI TP Ltd.

SECTION 8.2 Preparation and Filing of Tax Returns.

(a) Sellers shall timely prepare or shall cause to be timely prepared (i) any combined, consolidated or unitary Tax Return that includes Sellers or any of their 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, Sellers shall deliver to Purchaser for its review, comment and approval (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld) a copy of such proposed Tax Return (i) in the case of Tax Returns prepared no more 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 more frequently than on a quarterly basis, at least five (5) Business Days prior to the due date thereof (giving effect to any validly obtained extension thereof).

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

SECTION 8.4 Tax Contests.

(a) If any Taxing Authority asserts a Tax Claim, then the Party hereto first receiving notice of such Tax Claim promptly shall provide written notice thereof to the other Party or Parties hereto; 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) Sellers shall have the right to control, at their 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) Sellers shall provide Purchaser with a timely and reasonably detailed account of each stage of such Tax Proceeding, (ii) Sellers shall consult with Purchaser and offer Purchaser an opportunity to comment before submitting any written materials prepared or furnished in connection with such Tax Proceeding, (iii) Sellers 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) Purchaser 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) Sellers shall not settle, compromise or abandon any such Tax Proceeding without obtaining the prior written consent of Purchaser, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

Party or any of its Affiliates. “Controlling Party” shall mean whichever of Sellers or Purchaser is reasonably expected to bear the greater Tax liability in connection with a Straddle Period Tax Proceeding, and “Non-controlling Party” shall mean whichever of Sellers or Purchaser is not the Controlling Party with respect to such Straddle Period Tax Proceeding.

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

SECTION 8.6 Cooperation. Each Party hereto shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, provide to the other Party hereto such cooperation, documentation and information as either of them reasonably may request in (i) filing any Tax Return, amended Tax Return or claim for refund, (ii) determining a liability for Taxes or an indemnity obligation under this Article VIII or a right to refund of Taxes, (iii) conducting any Tax Proceeding, or (iv) 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 (i) between Sellers or any of their Affiliates (other than the Trayport Companies) on the one hand and the Trayport

Companies on the other hand, or (ii) at the request of Purchaser, 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) Purchaser agrees that if as the result of any 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 Sellers are liable or responsible (and which liability is actually satisfied by the Sellers), Purchaser, the Trayport Companies or any of their respective Subsidiaries or Affiliates receives a Tax Benefit, then Purchaser shall pay to Sellers the amount of such Tax Benefit within fifteen (15) days of filing the Tax Return in which such Tax Benefit is actually realized or utilized.

(b) Sellers shall be entitled to any Tax Benefit arising from any deduction arising in respect of any Trayport Transaction Expenses that are borne or paid by Sellers, and Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that it will pay Sellers the amount of any Tax Benefit that results from such deduction on a Tax Return of Purchaser or any of its Affiliates (including the Trayport Companies) when such Tax Benefit is actually realized or utilized.

SECTION 8.9 Coordination. Claims for indemnification with respect to Taxes shall be governed by this Article VIII and Section 10.8 (but not by any other provision of Article X, unless explicitly provided for in this Article VIII).

SECTION 8.10 Tax Treatment of Payments. Sellers, Purchaser 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 Payment 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 Purchaser (for itself and on behalf of its Affiliates) an amount equal to such liability or payment.

SECTION 8.11 Sales and Transfer Taxes. Purchaser 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 Sellers and Purchaser shall cooperate in timely making all filings, returns, reports and forms as may be required to comply with the provisions of such Tax Laws.

SECTION 8.12 Released Tax Claims.

(a) Purchaser hereby acknowledges that GFI was party to (i) that certain Share Purchase Agreement, dated as of January 31, 2008, by and among, Alan Deller, Elliot Piggott, Edmund Hor, Michael Imperato and Richard Fisher (collectively, the “2008 Sellers”) and GFI for the sale and purchase of shares held in Trayport Limited (the “2008 SPA”) and (ii) that certain Tax Deed of Covenant, dated as of January 31, 2008 (the “Tax Deed”) pursuant to which the 2008 Sellers agreed to pay to amounts equal to certain future tax liabilities payable by Trayport Limited and its subsidiaries, including the Released Tax Claims.

(b) GFI and Sellers hereby assign and convey to Purchaser, effective as of the later of (i) Closing and (ii) the execution and delivery of all parties thereto of the Deed of Substitution, in accordance with the terms of the Deed of Substitution, any and all claims and rights with respect to the Released Tax Claims under the 2008 SPA and the Tax Deed.

(c) Purchaser hereby acknowledges and agrees, on behalf of itself and its Affiliates, from and after the effective time of the assignment pursuant to Section 8.12(b), that neither Purchaser nor any of its Affiliates shall be entitled to or receive any indemnity (under this Agreement or otherwise), recovery or payment from GFI or Sellers in respect of the Released Tax Claims, and Purchaser and its Affiliates shall only seek recovery from the 2008 Sellers for such matters. Further, Purchaser, on behalf of itself and its Affiliates, hereby waives, releases, forever discharges, and agrees not to sue GFI and the Sellers, or any of their respective equity holders, former equity holders, Affiliates, related entities, or subsidiaries, and their respective members, partners, directors, officers, agents, employees, attorneys, and the predecessors, successors, and assigns of each of them (collectively, the “Released Parties”) with respect to any claims or causes of action, whether known or unknown, that Purchaser and its Affiliates now has, ever had, or will ever have or may allege to have, against the Released Parties for or related in any way to the Released Tax Claims.

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 Purchaser and Sellers;

(b) (i) by either Purchaser or Sellers, upon written notification of 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 Sellers, upon written notification of Purchaser by Sellers, 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 Purchaser does 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 Sellers, if the Closing has not occurred by May 15, 2016 or, in the circumstances and as by the date, in each case as detailed in Section 9.1(c) of the Purchaser Disclosure Letter, if Purchaser elects to extend such date in writing (the “Extension Election”) (such date, as it may be so extended, the “Outside Date”); provided, however, that neither Purchaser nor Sellers shall have the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 9.1(c) if its (or GFI’s, in the case of Sellers) failure to perform or breach of any of its (or GFI’s, in the case of Sellers) 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 Sellers, if Purchaser 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 sixty (60) Business Days after the giving of written notice by Sellers to Purchaser specifying such breach (provided that in no event shall such 60 Business Day period extend beyond the Outside Date and provided that Purchaser is not then in material breach of any of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement); or

(e) by Purchaser, if Sellers or GFI shall have breached any of their 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 sixty (60) Business Days after the giving of written notice by Purchaser to Sellers specifying such breach (provided that in no event shall such 60 Business Day period extend beyond the Outside Date and provided that Purchaser is not then in material breach of any of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement).

SECTION 9.2 Purchaser Termination Fee. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, in the event that this Agreement is terminated pursuant to (a) Section 9.1(b), if (i) such Order is promulgated or requested to be promulgated under or with respect to a Regulatory Law (other than the HSR Act to the extent applicable to Sellers’ acquisition of Purchaser Common Stock) and (ii) at the time of such termination, the conditions set forth in Sections 7.2(a), 7.2(b) and 7.2(e) have been satisfied or waived (other than those conditions which by their nature could not be satisfied until the Closing, but which conditions at the time of termination are capable of being satisfied) or (b) Section 9.1(c) if, at the time of such termination, (i) the condition set forth in Section 7.1(a) (if such Order is promulgated under or

with respect to a Regulatory Law other than the HSR Act to the extent applicable to Sellers’ acquisition of Purchaser Common Stock) or Section 7.1(b) has not been satisfied (except for the lack of HSR Approval to the extent applicable to Sellers’ acquisition of Purchaser Common Stock) and (ii) the conditions set forth in Sections 7.2(a), 7.2(b) and 7.2(e) have been satisfied or waived (other than those conditions which by their nature could not be satisfied until the Closing, but which conditions at the time of termination were capable of being satisfied), then, in each case Purchaser shall promptly, but in no event later than two (2) Business Days after the date of termination of this Agreement, (A) pay by wire transfer of immediately available funds to accounts designated by Sellers, an amount in cash equal to twenty five million dollars ($25,000,000), (B) deliver to Sellers evidence of book-entry shares representing a number of shares of Purchaser Common Stock equal to (I) fifty million dollars ($50,000,000) divided by (II) the arithmetic average of the daily intra-day volume-weighted average price of one share of Purchaser Common Stock on the New York Stock Exchange during the regular trading session (and excluding pre-market and after-hours trading) over the ten (10) consecutive trading days ending the second (2nd) trading day prior to the day on which this Agreement is terminated as contemplated in clause (a) or (b) above, which shares of Purchaser Common Stock shall be free and clear of all Liens, and (C) deliver a counterpart of the Registration Rights Agreement duly executed by Purchaser, to Sellers (the “Purchaser Termination Fee”); provided that if the Extension Fee was previously paid, the Purchaser Termination Fee shall be deemed paid at the time of such termination and no further payment shall be required in connection with such termination. Purchaser acknowledges that the agreement contained in this Section 9.2 is an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and that, without this agreement, the Sellers would not have entered into this Agreement. Accordingly, if Purchaser fails to promptly pay any amount due pursuant to this Section 9.2, and in order to obtain such payment, the Sellers commence a suit that results in a judgment against Purchaser for such payment, Purchaser shall pay to each of the Sellers their expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) in connection with such suit, together with interest on the amount of the applicable fee at the prime lending rate as published in The Wall Street Journal, in effect on the date such payment is required to be made. Subject to Section 9.3 and the right of specific performance pursuant to Section 11.13, the payment by Purchaser of the Reverse Termination Fee in the circumstances under which such fee is payable shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of Sellers and GFI for any damages suffered by Sellers, GFI and the Trayport Companies as a result of the failure of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement to be consummated, and upon such payment pursuant to this Section 9.2 in the circumstances under which such fee is payable, Purchaser shall not have any further liability or obligation related to or arising out of this Agreement.

SECTION 9.3 Effect of Termination. If this Agreement is terminated, no Party hereto (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 prior to such termination and except for the obligations set forth in Section 6.2(c)(i), Section 9.2 and Article XI, which shall survive termination.

ARTICLE X

INDEMNIFICATION

SECTION 10.1 Survival of Representations and Warranties and Covenants.

(a) The right to commence any claim for indemnification hereunder with respect to the representations and warranties set forth in Article IV or in any certificate delivered hereunder by Sellers shall survive until the date that is twelve (12) months after the Closing Date. The representations and warranties set forth in Article V shall not survive beyond the Closing and there shall be no liability in respect thereof, whether such liability has accrued prior to or after Closing; provided that the Seller Indemnified Parties shall have a right to commence any claim for indemnification hereunder with respect to the representations and warranties set forth in Article V, or in any certificate delivered hereunder by Purchaser with respect to such representations and warranties, from the Closing Date until the latest of (i) the fifteenth (15th) trading day after Registrable Securities (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) are first subject to an effective registration statement filed by Purchaser with the SEC and (ii) if a Blackout Period (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) occurs during such fifteen (15) day period, the trading day immediately after the last day of such Blackout Period. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentences, the right to commence any claim with respect to the representations and warranties contained in Section 4.1 (Organization and Good Standing), Section 4.2(a) and (b) (Trayport Entities and Subsidiaries), Section 4.3(a) and (b) (Title), Section 4.4 (Authorization), Section 4.7(a) (Transactions with Affiliates) and Section 4.12 (No Brokers or Finders) (as the same may be confirmed or repeated in any certificate delivered hereunder) (the “Seller Fundamental Representations”) and the representations and warranties contained in Section 5.1 (Organization and Good Standing), Section 5.2 (Authorization) and Section 5.12 (No Brokers or Finders) (as the same may be confirmed or repeated in any certificate delivered hereunder) (the “Purchaser Fundamental Representations”) and any claim based on fraud will survive indefinitely; provided, further that the right to commence any claim with respect to the representations and warranties contained in Section 4.18 (Taxes) will survive until the date that is thirty (30) days following the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations.

(b) 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. The covenants and agreements that contemplate action (or inaction) to be taken (or not taken) between the date hereof and the Closing shall survive until the date that is twelve (12) months after the Closing Date.

(c) Notwithstanding Section 10.1(a) and Section 10.1(b), in the event written notice of any bona fide claim for indemnification under Section 10.2(a), Section 10.2(b), Section 10.3(a) or Section 10.3(b) shall have been given in accordance herewith within the applicable survival period setting forth in reasonable detail the legal and factual basis for such claim (in light of the facts then known), the indemnification claim shall survive until such time as such claim is fully and finally resolved. Neither Purchaser nor Sellers shall have any liability pursuant to this Agreement with respect to any indemnification claim for a breach of representation, warranty, covenant or agreement first asserted after the survival period specified for such representation, warranty, covenant or agreement in Section 10.1(a) or Section 10.1(b), as applicable.

SECTION 10.2 Indemnification of Purchaser. Subject to Section10.1 and Section 10.5, from and after the Closing Date, Sellers shall, jointly and severally, indemnify, defend, save and hold harmless Purchaser, its Affiliates, including, following the Closing each Trayport Company, and their respective officers, directors, employees, agents and representatives in their capacities as such (collectively, the “Purchaser Indemnified Parties”), from and against (whether in connection with a Third Party Claim or a direct claim) any and all Damages to the extent resulting from, arising out of or relating to:

(a) any breach by Sellers of any representation or warranty under this Agreement or any certificate delivered pursuant to this Agreement (provided that, in each case, assuming that all qualifications contained in such representation or warranty, and the underlying representations and warranties in this Agreement referred to in any such certificate delivered at Closing, as to materiality, including each qualifying reference to the phrases “Business Material Adverse Effect,” the words “material” and “materially” and all similar materiality qualifiers, shall be disregarded, other than with respect to (i) Section 4.9, Section 4.14(c), Section 4.15(a), and Section 4.20(c) and (ii) representations and warranties requiring lists of material items); and

(b) the failure by Sellers to perform any of their covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement.

SECTION 10.3 Indemnification of Sellers. Subject to Section 10.1 and Section 10.5 hereof, from and after the Closing, Purchaser hereby agrees to indemnify, defend, save and hold harmless Sellers, their Affiliates, officers, directors, employees, agents and representatives in their capacities as such (collectively, the “Seller Indemnified Parties” and together with the Purchaser Indemnified Parties, the “Indemnified Parties”) from and against (whether in connection with a Third Party Claim or a direct claim) any and all Damages to the extent resulting from, arising out of or relating to:

(a) any breach by Purchaser of any representation or warranty under this Agreement (provided that, in each case, assuming that all qualifications contained in such representation or warranty, and the underlying representations and warranties in this Agreement referred to in any such certificate delivered at Closing, as to materiality, including each qualifying reference to the phrases “Purchaser Material Adverse Effect,” the words “material” and “materially” and all similar materiality qualifiers, shall be disregarded other than with respect to (i) Section 5.6 and (ii) representations and warranties requiring lists of material items); and

(b) the failure by Purchaser to perform any of its covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement.

SECTION 10.4 Claims.

(a) Third Party Claims. Upon receipt by an Indemnified Party of notice of any action, suit, proceeding, audit, claim, demand, investigation or assessment made or brought by an unaffiliated third party (a “Third Party Claim”) with respect to a matter for which such Indemnified Party is indemnified under this Article X which has or is expected to give rise to a claim for Damages, the Indemnified Party shall promptly (but in any event within ten (10)

Business Days of receipt of such Third Party Claim), in the case of a Purchaser Indemnified Party, notify Sellers, and in the case of a Seller Indemnified Party, notify Purchaser (Sellers or Purchaser, as the case may be, the “Indemnifying Party”), in writing, indicating the nature of such Third Party Claim and, to the extent known, the basis therefor; provided, however, that any delay or failure by the Indemnified Party to give notice to the Indemnifying Party shall relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations hereunder only to the extent, if at all, that it is prejudiced by reason of such delay or failure. Such written notice (a “Claim Notice”) shall set forth (i) the facts and circumstances giving rise to such claim for indemnification, to the extent then known by the Indemnified Party, including copies of all material written evidence thereof, (ii) the nature of the Damages suffered or incurred or expected to be suffered or incurred, to the extent then known by the Indemnified Party, (iii) a reference to the provisions of this Agreement in respect of which such Damages have been suffered or incurred or are expected to be suffered or incurred, and (iv) the amount of Damages actually suffered or incurred, to the extent then known by the Indemnified Party, and, to the extent the Damages have not yet been suffered or incurred, a good-faith estimate, to the extent then reasonably estimable, of the amount of Damages that could reasonably be expected to be suffered or incurred. The Indemnifying Party shall have thirty (30) days after receipt of the Claim Notice to elect, at its option, to assume and control the defense of, at its own expense and by its own counsel (which counsel shall be reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party), any such Third Party Claim and shall be entitled to assert any and all defenses available to the Indemnified Party to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law so long as (A) the Indemnifying Party’s written notice of its election to assume the defense of such Third Party Claim states that the Indemnifying Party will, and thereby covenants to, indemnify pursuant to, and subject to the limitations contained in, this Article X and, (B) the Indemnified Party has not been advised by counsel that an actual or potential conflict exists between the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party in connection with the defense of such Third Party Claim and (C) the Third Party Claim does not relate to any criminal or regulatory enforcement Proceeding; provided, that, if the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of a Third Party Claim and (x) the Indemnified Party subsequently discovers that the facts presented at the time the Indemnifying Party assumed control of the defense were not accurate or incomplete, and (y) the Indemnifying Party reasonably determines that the new information is reasonably likely to mean that the Indemnifying Party does not have an indemnification obligation in respect of such Third Party Claim, then the Indemnifying Party shall provide the Indemnified Party written notice of the same and shall cooperate with the Indemnified Party to transfer control back to the Indemnified Party and the acknowledgement referred to in clause (A) of this sentence shall be null and void and have no further force or effect. If the Indemnifying Party shall undertake to compromise or defend any such Third Party Claim, it shall promptly notify the Indemnified Party of its intention to do so, and the Indemnified Party agrees to, and to cause its Affiliates to, cooperate with the Indemnifying Party and its counsel in the compromise of, or defense against, any such Third Party Claim, including by furnishing non-privileged books and records, personnel and witnesses, as appropriate for any defense of such Third Party Claim ; provided, however, that the Indemnifying Party shall not settle, compromise or discharge, or admit any liability with respect to, any such Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld) unless the relief (I) consists solely of money damages, (II) results in the full and general release of all Indemnified Parties named in such Third Party Claim from all liabilities arising or relating to, or in connection with, such Third Party Claim and (III) involves no finding or admission of

any fault or violation of applicable Law. Notwithstanding an election to assume the defense of such action or proceeding, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel and to participate in the defense of such action or proceeding, and the Indemnifying Party shall bear the reasonable fees, costs and expenses of such separate counsel if (x) the Indemnified Party shall have been advised by counsel that a conflict of interest makes representation by the same counsel or the counsel selected by the Indemnifying Party inappropriate or (y) the Indemnifying Party shall have authorized in writing the Indemnified Party to employ separate counsel at the Indemnifying Party’s expense. In any event, the Indemnified Party and Indemnifying Party and their counsel shall cooperate in the defense of any Third Party Claim subject to this Article X and keep such Persons informed of all developments relating to any such Third Party Claims, and provide copies of all relevant correspondence and documentation relating thereto. The Indemnified Party shall have the right at its own expense to participate in the defense of such asserted liability. If the Indemnifying Party receiving such notice of Third Party Claim does not timely elect to defend such Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall have the right, at the Indemnifying Party’s expense, to defend such Third Party Claim; provided, however, that the Indemnified Party shall not settle, compromise or discharge, or admit any liability with respect to, any such Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld).

(b) Direct Claims. As promptly as is reasonably practicable after becoming aware of a claim for indemnification under this Agreement not involving a Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall provide a Claim Notice to the Indemnifying Party of such claim; provided, that any delay or failure by the Indemnified Party to provide such Claim Notice shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations hereunder except to the extent, if at all, that it is prejudiced by reason of such delay or failure. Each Party hereto also agrees that any direct claim which such Party may bring against any other Party hereto under the provisions of this Agreement shall be governed exclusively by the provisions of this Article X, other than Section 10.4(a).

SECTION 10.5 Limitations.

(a) To avoid any duplicative recovery, in no event shall Sellers or Purchaser be required to provide indemnification to any Purchaser Indemnified Party or Seller Indemnified Party, respectively, pursuant to Section 10.2 or 10.3 for any amount that is included in the final Adjustment Amount, final Closing Cash or final Closing Indebtedness.

(b) In no event shall (i) Sellers be required to provide indemnification to any Purchaser Indemnified Party for any claim (with all claims arising out of substantially the same events or circumstances being aggregated for such purposes) under Section 10.2 or (ii) Purchaser be required to provide indemnification to any Seller Indemnified Party for any claim (with all claims arising out of substantially the same events or circumstances being aggregated for such purposes) under Section 10.3, in each of cases (i) and (ii), if the amount of such claim or aggregated claims is equal to or less than seventy-five thousand dollars ($75,000) (“De Minimis Claims”); provided, however, that the limitation set forth in this Section 10.5(b) shall not apply to any breach of the covenants or obligations set forth in Section 3.3 (Closing Payment) or Section 3.7 (Post-Closing Adjustment).

(c) Sellers shall not be liable for any amounts for which Purchaser Indemnified Parties are otherwise entitled to indemnification pursuant to Section 10.2(a) until the aggregate amount of all Damages exceeds, on a cumulative basis, nine million seven hundred fifty thousand dollars ($9,750,000) (the “Threshold”), and then the Purchaser Indemnified Parties shall be entitled to indemnification pursuant to Section 10.2(a) for all of their Damages (excluding any Damages with respect to De Minimis Claims) in excess of such Threshold, subject to the other limitations set forth in this Article X; provided, however, that the limitation set forth in this Section 10.5(c) shall not apply to any breach of any of the Seller Fundamental Representations or claims based upon fraud. Purchaser shall not be liable for any amounts for which Seller Indemnified Parties are otherwise entitled to indemnification pursuant to Section 10.3(a) until the aggregate amount of all Damages exceeds, on a cumulative basis, the Threshold, and then the Seller Indemnified Parties shall be entitled to indemnification pursuant to Section 10.3(a) for all of their Damages (excluding any Damages with respect to De Minimis Claims) in excess of such Threshold, subject to the other limitations set forth in this Article X; provided, however, that the limitation set forth in this Section 10.5(c) shall not apply to any breach of any of the Purchaser Fundamental Representations or claims based upon fraud.

(d) In no event shall Sellers’ aggregate liability pursuant to Section 10.2(a) exceed an amount equal to sixty five million dollars ($65,000,000) (the “Cap”); provided, however, that the limitation set forth in this Section 10.5(d) shall not apply to a breach of any of the Seller Fundamental Representations or claims based upon fraud. In no event shall Purchaser’s aggregate liability pursuant to Section 10.3(a) exceed an amount equal to the Cap; provided, however, that the limitation set forth in this Section 10.5(d) shall not apply to any breach of any of the Purchaser Fundamental Representations or claims based upon fraud. Claims for indemnification pursuant to any other provision of Section 10.2 or Section 10.3 are not subject to the limitations set forth in Section 10.5(c) and (d). Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, in no event shall Sellers’ or Purchaser’s aggregate liability under this Article X exceed the Closing Purchase Price, subject to any final adjustments to the components therein in accordance with Section 3.7.

(e) Purchaser and Sellers acknowledge and agree that, following the Closing, except in the case of fraud, the indemnification provisions of Section 8.1, Section 10.2 and Section 10.3 shall be the sole and exclusive monetary remedies of Sellers and Purchaser, respectively, for any Damages (including any Damages from claims for breach of contract, warranty, tortious conduct (including negligence) or otherwise and whether predicated on common law, statute, strict liability, or otherwise) that each Party may at any time suffer or incur, or become subject to, as a result of or in connection with this Agreement, or the transaction contemplated by this Agreement, including any breach of any representation or warranty in this Agreement by any Party, or any failure by any Party to perform or comply with any covenant or agreement that, by its terms, was to have been performed, or complied with, under this Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, from and after the Closing, the Parties hereto hereby irrevocably waive any right of rescission they may otherwise have or to which they may become entitled other than in the case of fraud.

SECTION 10.6 Tax Benefit and Insurance. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Damages shall be (a) net of any Tax Benefit and (b) net of any insurance or other recoveries actually received by the Indemnified Party or its Affiliates in connection with the facts

giving rise to the right of indemnification. The Indemnified Party shall use, and cause its Affiliates to use, commercially reasonable efforts to seek full recovery under all insurance and indemnity provisions covering such Damages to the same extent as it would if such Damages were not subject to indemnification hereunder.

SECTION 10.7 Additional Limitations on Damages. In no event shall any Indemnifying Party have any liability for punitive, exemplary, special or speculative damages or any consequential damages that are not reasonably foreseeable (in each case other than damages payable to third parties that may be imposed or otherwise incurred).

SECTION 10.8 Tax Indemnification. Other than Section 10.1(a), Section 10.6 and this Section 10.8, the foregoing provisions of this Article X shall not apply to indemnification with respect to matters relating to Taxes, which shall be governed exclusively by Article VIII.

SECTION 10.9 Mitigation. Each of the Parties agrees to use its commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate its respective Damages upon and after becoming aware of any event or condition that would reasonably be expected to give rise to any Damages that are indemnifiable hereunder. Subject to all applicable legal and contractual restrictions, upon making any payment to the Indemnified Party for any indemnification claim pursuant to this Article X, the Indemnifying Party shall be subrogated, to the extent of such payment, to any rights which the Indemnified Party may have against any third parties with respect to the subject matter underlying such indemnification claim, and the Indemnified Party shall assign any such rights to the Indemnifying Party to the extent such rights are assignable.

SECTION 11.4 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 hereto 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 hereto hereby agrees not to commence any such action or proceeding other than before one of the above-named courts. Each of the Parties hereto also hereby agrees that any final and unappealable 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 11.1 of this Agreement. Nothing in this Section 11.4 shall affect the right of any Party to serve process in any other manner permitted by Law.

SECTION 11.5 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 11.6 Entire Agreement. This Agreement, together with 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 hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior agreements with respect thereto.

SECTION 11.7 Amendment, Modification and Waiver. No amendment to this Agreement shall be effective unless it shall be in writing and signed by each Party hereto. 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 11.8 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, 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 11.9 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 hereto or their respective permitted successors and assigns, any rights, remedies or Liabilities; provided, that (a) the provisions of Article X will inure to the benefit of the Indemnified Parties, (b) the provisions of Section 6.8 will inure to the benefit of the D&O Indemnified Parties and (c) the provisions of Section 6.9 will inure to the benefit of Sellers’ Affiliates. No Party may assign its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the other Parties hereto and any purported assignment without such consent shall be void; provided, that Purchaser may, without the consent of Sellers, assign any or all of its rights or obligations hereunder to any of its Subsidiaries that is wholly owned by the Purchaser (although no such assignment shall relieve Purchaser of its obligations to Sellers or any Seller Indemnified Party hereunder).

SECTION 11.10 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 Sellers and Purchaser agrees 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. Purchaser and Sellers 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 11.11 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO 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 11.12 Expenses. Except as otherwise expressly stated in this Agreement, any costs, expenses, or charges incurred by any of the Parties hereto 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 11.13 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 11.14 Guarantee. As a material inducement to Purchaser to enter into this Agreement and in recognition of substantial direct and indirect benefits to GFI and BGCP therefrom, GFI and BGCP, jointly and severally, hereby absolutely, irrevocably and unconditionally guarantee to Purchaser and the Purchaser Indemnified Parties the due and punctual performance by Sellers of all of Sellers’ obligations and liabilities under or in respect of this Agreement including all of Sellers’ payment obligations hereunder and any obligations or

liabilities of Sellers arising from any breach of this Agreement. GFI’s and BGCP’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 Sellers hereto in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. GFI and BGCP agree that their obligations hereunder shall not be released or discharged, in whole or in part, or otherwise affected by (a) the failure or delay on the part of Purchaser to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any right or remedy against Sellers or (b) any insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization or other similar proceeding instituted by or against Sellers. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 11.14 or otherwise, Purchaser hereby agrees that GFI and BGCP shall have all defenses to their obligations under this guarantee that would be available to Sellers in respect of this Agreement whether pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or pursuant to any applicable Law in connection therewith.
