(i) to one or more Affiliates, so long as such Affiliates agree in writing to be bound by and Borse Dubai continues to be bound by the terms of this Nasdaq Stockholders’ Agreement (for the avoidance of doubt, upon such Transfer, Borse Dubai and such Affiliates will be treated as one “party” for all purposes under this Nasdaq Stockholders’ Agreement); provided, however, that if any such transferee ceases to be an Affiliate of Borse Dubai, then such transferee shall transfer its Shares to Borse Dubai or one of its Affiliates then a Party to this Nasdaq Stockholders’ Agreement;

As a result, until such voting limitation is no longer applicable to the Shares beneficially owned by Borse Dubai (whether as the result of its decreased percentage interest in the Shares, pursuant to Section 4.2 hereof, a combination or either or otherwise), Borse Dubai shall vote all Shares beneficially owned by Borse Dubai, and the Trust shall have no separate voting rights. However, if, at any time after the date hereof such voting limitation is no longer applicable to the Shares beneficially owned by Borse Dubai, Trustee shall have the right to vote the Shares held by the Trust on any matters submitted to the stockholders of Nasdaq, and Borse Dubai shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Trustee to execute a proxy with respect to the Shares held by the Trust in favor of the Corporate Secretary or other designee of Nasdaq to vote on respect to such matters. The Corporate Secretary or other designee of Nasdaq shall vote such Shares pro rata with the other shareholders of Nasdaq (excluding Borse Dubai) at the time of any such vote.

(c) For as long as the Trust continues to hold any Shares, Borse Dubai shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Trustee to dispose of any Shares owned by the Trust (including, pursuant to the 2008 Registration Rights Agreement); provided, however, that Borse Dubai shall have no obligation to cause the Trust to dispose of such Shares if the net amount that the Trustee would receive on the sale of any Share is less than the sum of: (i) $51.52; plus (ii) the reasonable, documented out of pocket expenses and fees of the Trustee not recovered pursuant to any prior dispositions (whether or not previously paid by Borse Dubai), payable by Borse Dubai under the Fee Agreement (as defined in the Trust Agreement) divided by the total number of Shares then owned by the Trust; plus (iii) a cost of capital of 6% annually (pro rata for the period such Shares are held by the Trust); minus (iv) any cash distributions or the Fair Market Value of distributions of property made by Nasdaq to the Trust divided by the total number of Shares owned by the Trust as of the date of such distribution; and provided further, however, that Borse Dubai shall not cause the Trustee to dispose of any Shares to any Competitor except (A) pursuant to a merger, consolidation, share exchange, tender offer or other similar transaction involving Nasdaq, (B) in any such Transfer pursuant to a public offering or a sale pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act, provided that Borse Dubai does not have actual knowledge that a purchaser pursuant thereto is a Competitor, and (C) to any investment bank or its Affiliate (1) in the capacity of an underwriter, placement agent, broker, dealer or similar function or (2) in a transaction (or series of related transactions) involving the transfer of Shares representing less

10

than 5.0% of the outstanding Common Stock. If Borse Dubai intends to cause the Trustee to dispose of any Shares, Borse Dubai shall consult with Nasdaq prior to completing any such transaction.

(a) purchase or otherwise acquire, offer or propose to acquire, or solicit an offer to sell or agree to acquire, directly or indirectly, alone or in concert with others, beneficial or record ownership of any shares of the capital stock of Nasdaq or any Derivative Securities (excluding shares and securities received by way of stock dividend, stock reclassification or other distributions or offerings made available on a pro rata basis to Nasdaq’s stockholders) if, after giving effect thereto, Borse Dubai, its Affiliates and all groups of which Borse Dubai or any of its Affiliates is a member would beneficially own an amount of shares of capital stock of Nasdaq, including any Derivative Securities on an as-exercised, converted or exchanged basis, as applicable, in excess of the Borse Dubai Threshold; provided, however, that, if as a result of a reduction in the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding due to the repurchase of shares of Common Stock by Nasdaq, Borse Dubai beneficially owns an amount of shares of capital stock of Nasdaq, including any Derivative Securities on an as-exercised, converted or exchanged basis, as applicable, in excess of the Borse Dubai Threshold, Borse Dubai shall not be in violation of this Section 5.1(a) so long as Borse Dubai does not take any of the actions referred to in the first clause of this Section 5.1(a) and Borse Dubai complies with Section 2.1(c) hereof;

(b) make, or in any way participate in, directly or indirectly, alone or in concert with others (including by or through any group of which Borse Dubai or any of its Affiliates is a member), any “solicitation” of “proxies” (as such terms are defined or used in Regulation 14A under the Exchange Act) to vote securities of Nasdaq or to provide or withhold consents with

13

respect to securities of Nasdaq, whether subject to or exempt from the proxy rules, or seek to advise or influence any person or entity with respect to, the voting of, or the providing or withholding consent with respect to, any securities of Nasdaq;

(c) either directly or indirectly in concert with others (including by or through any group of which Borse Dubai or any of its Affiliates is a member) make any offer with respect to, or make or submit a proposal with respect to, or ask or request any other person to make an offer or proposal with respect to, or in any other way support, any transaction that would, if consummated, be reasonably likely to result in a Change of Control, including a merger, business combination, restructuring, reorganization, recapitalization, tender or exchange offer or asset disposition involving Nasdaq or any of its Affiliates;

(d) except as provided in Article III hereof, either directly or indirectly in concert with others (including by or through any group of which Borse Dubai or any of its Affiliates is a member) seek representation on the Board of Directors or the board of directors or equivalent of any of Nasdaq’s controlled Affiliates, seek to remove any members of the Board of Directors or expand or reduce the size of the Board of Directors or otherwise act alone or in concert with others (including by or through any group of which Borse Dubai or any of its Affiliates is a member) to make public statements or otherwise seek to control or influence the management or Board of Directors of Nasdaq or any of its controlled Affiliates;

(e) form, join or any way participate in a “group” within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act with respect to any securities of Nasdaq; or

(f) either directly or indirectly in concert with others (including by or through any group of which Borse Dubai or any of its Affiliates is a member) publicly announce or disclose any intention, or enter into or disclose any plan or arrangement inconsistent with the foregoing (including publicly making a request that Nasdaq or the Board of Directors waive, amend or terminate any provisions of this Nasdaq Stockholders’ Agreement or making such a request if such request would reasonably be likely to require public disclosure by any Person or otherwise result in public disclosure).

Section 5.2 Permitted Action. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 5.1, nothing herein shall prohibit or restrict Borse Dubai or its Affiliates from making any disclosure pursuant to Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act that Borse Dubai or such Affiliate reasonably believes, based on the advice of independent legal counsel, is required in connection with any action taken by Borse Dubai or such Affiliate that is not inconsistent with this Nasdaq Stockholders’ Agreement.

Section 5.3 Suspension and Termination.

(a) The restrictions contained in Section 5.1 shall terminate and shall cease to apply upon the earliest to occur of the following (the “Standstill Termination Date”): (i) the 10^th anniversary of the date of this Nasdaq Stockholders’ Agreement, (ii) Borse Dubai beneficially owning less than 10% of the outstanding Shares, (iii) Nasdaq entering into a definitive agreement which, if consummated, would result in a Change of Control, (iv) the consummation of a Change of Control, (v) no Borse Dubai Board Designee being elected to the Board of Directors by

14

shareholders at two consecutive meetings of shareholders of Nasdaq held for purposes of the election of directors and for which a Borse Dubai Board Designee has been nominated or (vi) Nasdaq (or its Affiliates) holding less than 1,250,000 shares (as adjusted for any stock dividend, stock split, recapitalization or similar event in respect of such shares) in DIFX; provided, however, that for purposes of determining the number of shares in DIFX held by Nasdaq or its Affiliates, shares in DIFX disposed of pursuant to Sections 2.1(a)(ii)(C), 2.1(a)(ii)(D) and 2.4 of the DIFX Stockholders’ Agreement shall be considered to be held by Nasdaq (or its Affiliates).

(b) On the Standstill Termination Date, (x) if any Borse Dubai Board Designees are members of the Board of Directors or a Borse Dubai Nominating Committee Designee is a member of the Nominating Committee, then at the Board of Directors’ request such Borse Dubai Board Designees shall immediately resign from the Board of Directors and all committees thereof and the Borse Dubai Nominating Committee Designee shall immediately resign from the Nominating Committee and (y) any rights of Borse Dubai under Section 3.1 of this Nasdaq Stockholders’ Agreement shall immediately and permanently terminate.

Section 5.4 Certain Tender Offers. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 5.1, if a Third Party Tender Offer is made and, within 10 Business Days of the date on which the Third Party Tender Offer is first published or sent or given, the Board of Directors does not recommend rejection of the Third Party Tender Offer in accordance with Rule 14e-2 under the Exchange Act, then Borse Dubai may tender into such Third Party Tender Offer, but in all other respects the provisions of Section 5.1 shall continue to apply.

Section 5.5 Preemptive Rights.

(a) At any time prior to the Standstill Termination Date, prior to any sale or issuance by Nasdaq of any Shares or any securities exchangeable for, or convertible into, Shares (the “Offered Shares”) in any capital raising transaction (other than a sale or issuance described in Section 5.5(f)) which would cause Borse Dubai to own less than 19.99% of the Shares calculated on a fully diluted basis, which shall be calculated in accordance with the methodology set forth on Schedule A (a “Proposed Issuance”), Nasdaq shall give Borse Dubai advance written notice (the “Notice of Issuance”) of the Proposed Issuance, setting forth the proposed price (which, in the case of an underwritten offering, may be the price to be established by Nasdaq and the underwriters at the time of the pricing of the offering), number of Shares (which may be a fixed number of Shares to be offered to third parties, subject to increase to make allowance for issuance to Borse Dubai) and other material terms and conditions under which Nasdaq proposes to make such sale, to the extent available (the date such notice is received by Borse Dubai, the “Notice Date”). Borse Dubai shall have the right, exercisable as hereinafter provided, to purchase the Proportional Share Amount (as defined below) with respect to such Offered Shares on terms which are at least as favorable to Borse Dubai as to any other prospective investor. To exercise such right, Borse Dubai shall provide within ten (10) Business Days after the Notice Date to Nasdaq an irrevocable notice of exercise (an “Exercise Notice”), providing that it elects to purchase up to the Proportional Share Amount and the number of Offered Shares it elects to purchase and stating, if applicable, whether such amount would automatically increase in connection with the exercise of an over-allotment option granted to underwriters in the Proposed Issuance, if any. If any material term of the Proposed Issuance is changed from that set forth in the Notice of Issuance, Nasdaq shall give Borse Dubai prompt written notice (the “Revised

15

Notice of Issuance”) of the revised terms of the Proposed Issuance, and setting forth such revised terms (the date such Revised Notice of Issuance is received by Borse Dubai is hereinafter referred to as the “Revised Notice Date”). Borse Dubai may, until the later of (x) five (5) Business Days from the Revised Notice Date (or such shorter time, if Nasdaq determines is required under the circumstances related to the Proposed Issuance) or (y) ten (10) Business Days from the original Notice Date, provide Nasdaq with an amended Exercise Notice. The number of Offered Shares (the “Proportional Share Amount”) which Borse Dubai may acquire in a Proposed Issuance shall be equal to the number of Offered Shares proposed to be sold or issued by Nasdaq in the Proposed Issuance multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of Shares owned by Borse Dubai as of the Notice Date, and the denominator of which is the total number of Shares issued and outstanding as of the Notice Date (each as calculated in accordance with the methodology set forth on Schedule A). Nasdaq’s obligation hereunder shall be subject to any regulatory approvals as may be required in connection with the exercise by Borse Dubai of the right to purchase Offered Shares as set forth in this Section 5.5 provided, however, that Nasdaq shall use its reasonable best efforts to obtain any such approvals.

(b) If, within the time required in paragraph (a) above, Borse Dubai does not notify Nasdaq that it intends to purchase any Offered Shares, then Nasdaq may, during a period of sixty (60) days following the end of such period sell and issue such securities not otherwise purchased by Borse Dubai to third parties at the same price and upon the same terms and conditions as set forth in the Notice of Issuance or Revised Notice of Issuance given to Borse Dubai pursuant to paragraph (a) above.

(c) If Borse Dubai elects to purchase Offered Shares from Nasdaq pursuant to this Section 5.5, Borse Dubai and Nasdaq shall consummate the purchase and sale of such Offered Shares in the manner and on the terms and date of the closing of the Proposed Issuance as set forth in the Notice of Issuance or Revised Notice of Issuance, as the case may be or, if applicable, the second business day after all shareholder and regulatory filings and approvals required for the consummation of such purchase have been obtained. Payment for such Offered Shares shall be by wire transfer of immediately available funds to a bank account or accounts designated in writing by Nasdaq at least two Business Days prior to scheduled closing therefore, against delivery of such Offered Shares at the executive offices of Nasdaq at the time of the scheduled closing therefor.

(d) Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 5.5, Nasdaq is not subject to any obligation to undertake a Proposed Issuance and may, at any time, withdraw or abandon, without the consent of Borse Dubai, any Proposed Issuance contemplated by this Section 5.5.

(e) The rights of Borse Dubai hereunder shall be subject to all reasonable terms and conditions as the managing underwriters (if any) of the Proposed Issuance may require of Borse Dubai, including (but not limited to) any limitations on the right of Borse Dubai to sell any of the Offered Shares following the consummation of the Proposed Issuance.

(f) The rights of Borse Dubai under this Section 5.5 shall not apply to:

(i) the issuance of any securities upon conversion or exchange of (A) any outstanding Derivative Securities in accordance with the terms thereof in effect on the date

16

hereof or (B) any Derivative Securities issued after the date hereof in accordance with the terms thereof on the date of issuance, provided that such Derivative Securities were offered in compliance with Section 5.5(a) hereof;

(ii) the issuance of any shares of capital stock of Nasdaq, in connection with a split or subdivision or similar transaction with respect to shares of capital stock of Nasdaq;

(iii) the issuance of any Offered Shares with respect to which the participation of Borse Dubai pursuant to this Section 5.5 would require approval of Nasdaq’s shareholders, regardless of the number of Offer Shares included in such Offer (which shareholder approval Nasdaq shall use its reasonable best efforts to obtain prior to the issuance of such Offered Shares to any third party), unless and until such shareholder approval is obtained; provided, however, if approval of Nasdaq’s shareholders with respect to the issuance of such Offered Shares is required for any other reason, this exception to Borse Dubai’s rights shall not apply;

(iv) the issuance of any Offered Shares with respect to which Borse Dubai’s participation would require regulatory approvals, which Nasdaq shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain, unless and until such regulatory approvals are obtained;

(v) any shares of Common Stock or related Derivative Securities issued to employees, officers and directors of, and consultants, customers and vendors to, Nasdaq, pursuant to any arrangement approved by the Board of Directors;

(vi) Common Stock issued pursuant to or upon exercise or conversion of securities issued in connection with a merger, consolidation, share exchange or other reorganization or business combination involving Nasdaq; and

(vii) Common Stock issued upon exercise of securities issued pursuant to rights distributed to holders of Common Stock generally.

(g) The rights contained in this Section 5.5 shall terminate upon the earliest to occur of (i) the consummation of a Change of Control, (ii) the termination of this Nasdaq Stockholders’ Agreement pursuant to Section 7.4 hereof, (iv) the Standstill Termination Date, or (v) Borse Dubai ceasing to beneficially own at least 19.99% of the Shares calculated on a fully diluted basis (in accordance with the methodology set forth on Schedule A), as the result of any Transfers by Borse Dubai.

All the terms and provisions of this Nasdaq Stockholders’ Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Parties and the successors and assigns of each Party, whether so expressed or not. None of the Parties may assign any of its rights or obligations hereunder, in whole or in part, by operation of law or otherwise, without the prior written consent of the other Parties, and any such assignment without such prior written consent shall be null and void; provided, however, that Borse Dubai may assign this Nasdaq Stockholders’ Agreement, in whole or in part, to any Subsidiary of Borse Dubai without the prior consent of Nasdaq; provided further, however, that such assignment shall only be valid for so long as such Subsidiary remains a Subsidiary of Borse Dubai, provided still further, however, that no assignment shall limit the assignor’s obligations hereunder. Except as expressly set forth herein, this Nasdaq Stockholders’ Agreement shall not inure to the benefit of or be enforceable by any other Person.

Section 7.7 Headings. The headings in this Nasdaq Stockholders’ Agreement are for convenience of reference only and will not control or affect the meaning or construction of any provisions hereof.

20

Section 7.9 Severability. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of this Nasdaq Stockholders’ Agreement in any jurisdiction will not affect the validity, legality or enforceability of the remainder of this Nasdaq Stockholders’ Agreement in such jurisdiction or the validity, legality or enforceability of this Nasdaq Stockholders’ Agreement, including any such provision, in any other jurisdiction, it being intended that all rights and obligations of the Parties hereunder will be enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.

Section 7.10 Recapitalization, Etc. In case of any consolidation, merger, reorganization, reclassification, sale, conveyance, consolidation, spin-off, partial or complete liquidation, stock dividend, transfer or lease in which Nasdaq is not the surviving person, then (a) all rights and obligations of Nasdaq under this Nasdaq Stockholders’ Agreement shall be assumed by and transferred to any such successor person, with the same effect as if it had been named herein as the party of this first part and (b) all references in this Nasdaq Stockholders’ Agreement to “Nasdaq” shall be deemed to refer to such person; provided, however, in any case, Nasdaq will not effect any such transaction unless the successor delivers to Borse Dubai an agreement in writing in a form reasonably satisfactory to Borse Dubai agreeing to be bound by the terms of this Nasdaq Stockholders’ Agreement. The intent of the Parties is to fairly and equitably preserve the original rights and obligations of the Parties hereto under this Nasdaq Stockholders’ Agreement.

Section 7.11 No Affiliation. Nothing in this Nasdaq Stockholders’ Agreement shall be deemed to constitute the parties as partners, co-venturers or agents of each other.

Section 7.12 Specific Performance. The Parties hereby acknowledge and agree that the failure of any Party to perform its agreements and covenants hereunder, including its failure to take all actions as are necessary on its part to the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, will cause irreparable injury to the other Parties, for which damages, even if available, will not be an adequate remedy. Accordingly, each Party hereby consents to the issuance of injunctive relief by any court of competent jurisdiction to compel performance of such Party’s obligations, to prevent breaches of this Nasdaq Stockholders’ Agreement by such Party and to the granting by any court of the remedy of specific performance of such Party’s obligations hereunder, without bond or other security being required, in addition to any other remedy to which any Party is entitled at law or in equity. Each Party irrevocably waives any defenses based on adequacy of any other remedy, whether at law or in equity, that might be asserted as a bar to the remedy of specific performance of any of the terms or provisions hereof or injunctive relief in any action brought therefor by any Party.

The Parties hereto agree that if any of the provisions of this Nasdaq Stockholders’ Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached, irreparable damage would occur, no adequate remedy at law would exist and damages would be difficult to determine, and that the Parties shall be entitled to specific performance of the terms hereof and immediate injunctive relief, without the necessity of proving the inadequacy of money damages as a remedy, in addition to any other remedy at law or equity.

21

Section 7.13 Other Agreements.

(a) Nothing contained in this Nasdaq Stockholders’ Agreement shall be deemed to be a waiver of, or release from, any obligations any Party hereto may have under, or any restrictions on the Transfer of Shares or other securities of Nasdaq or any direct or indirect Subsidiary of Nasdaq imposed by, any other agreement.

The enforceability and validity of this Nasdaq Stockholders’ Agreement, the construction of its terms and the interpretation of the rights and duties of the Parties shall be governed by the laws of the State of New York, without regard to conflict of law principles thereof that would mandate the application of the laws of another jurisdiction.

Each Party agrees that a final judgment in any such suit, action or Proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in any other jurisdiction in which a Party may be found or may have assets by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by applicable law, and agrees to the fullest extent permitted by law to consent to the enforcement of any such judgment and not to oppose such enforcement or to seek review on the merits of any such judgment in any such jurisdiction.

(b) Each of the Parties hereby irrevocably consents to the service of process outside the territorial jurisdiction of such courts in any suit, Proceeding or action by giving copies thereof by hand-delivery of air courier to the address of such Party specified in Section 7.1 and such service of process shall be deemed effective service of process on such Party. However, the foregoing shall not limit the right of any Party to effect service of process on the other Parties by any other legally available method.

(c) To the extent that any Party hereto (including assignees of any Party’s rights or obligations under this Nasdaq Stockholders’ Agreement) may be entitled, in any jurisdiction, to claim for itself or its revenues, assets or properties, sovereign immunity from service of process, from suit, from the jurisdiction of any court or arbitral tribunal, from attachment prior to judgment, from attachment in aid of execution or enforcement of a judgment (interlocutory or

22

final), or from any other legal process, and to the extent that, in any such jurisdiction there may be attributed such a sovereign immunity (whether claimed or not), each Party hereto hereby irrevocably agrees not to claim, and hereby irrevocably waives to the fullest extent permitted by law, such sovereign immunity.

(d) EACH OF THE PARTIES HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.
