Item 1.01

Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On January 27, 2015, Knight Capital Group, Inc. (“KCG”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of KCG Holdings, Inc., entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”) with BATS Global Markets, Inc. (“BATS”), pursuant to which KCG agreed to sell all of the issued and outstanding equity interests of its wholly-owned subsidiary Hotspot FX Holdings, Inc. (“Hotspot”) to BATS (the “Transaction”).

Pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement, BATS will pay KCG $365 million in cash upon the closing of the Transaction (the “Closing”), subject to certain adjustments, including an adjustment if working capital is less than or exceeds a specified target, as described in the Securities Purchase Agreement.

The Transaction is structured as a taxable asset sale and BATS and KCG have agreed to share certain related tax benefits that potentially accrue to BATS after the Closing. KCG will share in 70% of the actual tax benefits to BATS for the first three years after the Closing and 50% of the actual tax benefits thereafter (the “Annual Tax Benefits”); provided that KCG has a one-time option exercisable within 30 days of the third anniversary of the Closing to terminate the continued tax sharing arrangement in exchange for a one-time payment of $50 million. If KCG does not exercise this option, BATS has the right to do so for a period of 14 days after KCG’s option expires. As more fully described in the Securities Purchase Agreement, KCG will not be entitled to the Annual Tax Benefits in the first three years if, during the five month period beginning on January 27, 2015 (subject to extension in limited cases, as described in the Securities Purchase Agreement) (the “Measurement Period”), the average daily notional FX trading volume on Hotspot for any 60 trading day rolling period is less than or equal to a threshold set at 70% of the average daily notional FX trading volume on Hotspot for the month with the lowest trading volume over the last two calendar years (the “Trigger Event”) and, after the Trigger Event but during the Measurement Period, the average daily notional FX trading volume on Hotspot for any 15 trading day rolling period is not 80% or more of the average daily notional FX trading volume on Hotspot for the 2014 calendar year and no subsequent Trigger Event occurs during the Measurement Period. The occurrence of a Trigger Event will not affect KCG’s ability to exercise the buy-out option.

The Securities Purchase Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and covenants by BATS and KCG, including representations, warranties and covenants made by KCG with respect to Hotspot and its subsidiaries. KCG has agreed that Hotspot and its subsidiaries will conduct their operations in the ordinary course of business during the period between the execution of the Securities Purchase Agreement and the Closing and KCG has agreed not to own, invest in or operate an institutional foreign exchange market, subject to certain exceptions, for a period of three years after the Closing. Pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement, KCG and Hotspot have also agreed to customary indemnification obligations for damages resulting from any breaches of their respective representations, warranties and covenants, subject to stated thresholds and limitations in the case of representations and warranties. The Transaction, which is subject to customary conditions to Closing, is currently expected to close in the second quarter of 2015.

In connection with the Transaction, KCG and BATS will also enter into a customary transition services agreement, pursuant to which KCG and/or certain of its affiliates, will continue to provide certain services to Hotspot and its subsidiaries for a specified time period following the closing of the Transaction.

As of January 27, 2015, affiliates of KCG owned approximately 16.7% of the outstanding common stock of BATS.

The foregoing description of the Securities Purchase Agreement and the Transaction does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, the full text of the Securities Purchase Agreement, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 2.1 and is incorporated herein in its entirety by reference.

The representations, warranties and covenants of KCG and BATS included in the Securities Purchase Agreement have been made solely for the benefit of each other. The assertions embodied in those representations, warranties and covenants are subject to materiality qualifiers and are qualified by information in confidential disclosure schedules that the parties have exchanged in connection with signing the Securities Purchase Agreement. The disclosure schedules contain information that modifies, qualifies and creates exceptions to the representations, warranties and covenants set forth in the Securities Purchase Agreement. Moreover, certain representations, warranties and covenants in the Securities Purchase Agreement are used for the purpose of allocating risk between KCG, on the one hand, and BATS, on the other hand, rather than as characterizations of the actual state of facts about KCG, Hotspot or BATS. Accordingly, such representations and warranties may not describe the actual facts or circumstances as of the date of the Securities Purchase Agreement (or as of any other date) and should not be relied upon.

Such independent accountants shall deliver to Purchaser and Seller, as promptly as practicable, a report setting forth such

-21-

With respect to any Benefit Plan that is subject to ERISA, none of the Company, the Transferred Subsidiaries or Seller has engaged in a transaction that, assuming the taxable period of such transaction expired as of the date of this Agreement, would be reasonably likely to subject any of the Company or the Transferred Subsidiaries to a tax or penalty imposed by either Section 4975 of the Code or Section 502(i) of ERISA in an amount which would be material.

No Company Service Provider whose employment transferred to Seller or any of its Affiliates by virtue of any Automatic Transfer Regulation has any right to enhanced early retirement or redundancy benefits by virtue of having had such rights in connection with their employment prior to such transfer.

(e) As of the date of this Agreement, there is no pending or, to Seller’s Knowledge threatened, Action relating to the Benefit Plans that would be material to the Company or the Transferred Subsidiaries, taken as a whole.

(f) Neither the execution of this Agreement nor the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby (either alone or together with any other event) will (i) entitle any Company Service Provider to any payment or benefit, including any bonus, retention, retirement or severance pay or any increase in severance pay (other than severance pay required by applicable Law), (ii) accelerate the time of or trigger any payment or vesting under any Benefit Plan or increase the amount payable to any Company Service Provider or (iii) limit or restrict the right of the Company or any of its Affiliates to merge, amend or terminate any Company Benefit Plan.

6.3. Consents and Approvals. Except for the approvals, notices and filings with Governmental Authorities set forth in Schedule 6.3 (the “Purchaser Required Governmental Approvals”), there are no consents, approvals, orders, registrations, declarations or filings required to be obtained, made or given by or with respect to Purchaser in connection with the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement (including payment of the Tax Sharing Payments) and the consummation of transactions contemplated hereby, except as would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Purchaser Material Adverse Effect.

-38-

(d) There are no conditions precedent or other contingencies related to the funding of the full amount of the Purchaser Financing, other than as set forth in or contemplated by the Financing Commitment. As of the date hereof, no event has occurred or circumstance exists which, with or without notice, lapse of time or both, would or would reasonably be expected to (i) constitute a default or breach on the part of Purchaser and to the knowledge of Purchaser, any other parties thereto, under the Financing Commitment or (ii) constitute or result in a failure to satisfy any condition precedent set forth in the Financing Commitment.

(e) Other than a fee letter relating to fees with respect to the Purchaser Financing (a complete copy of which has been provided to Seller, with fee amounts, economic terms of the “Market Flex Provisions” in such fee letter, and other economic provisions not adversely affecting the conditionality, enforceability, availability, termination or aggregate principal amount of the Purchaser Financing redacted), there are no side letters or other agreements, contracts or arrangements related to the funding or investing, as applicable, of the full amount of the Purchaser Financing other than as expressly set forth in the Financing Commitment and delivered to Seller prior to the date hereof.

6.5. Litigation. There is no Action pending or, to Purchaser’s Knowledge, threatened against Purchaser or Purchaser’s Affiliates or Representatives, as of the date of this Agreement that, if decided adversely to Purchaser, would, individually or in the aggregate, have or be reasonably expected to have a Purchaser Material Adverse Effect.

6.6. Investment Intent. Purchaser is financially sophisticated and is an “accredited investor” within the meaning of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act. Purchaser understands that the Shares have not been registered under the securities laws of the United States, including the Securities Act, or of any other country and that the Shares may only be transferred pursuant to a registration statement or an applicable exemption under the Securities Act. Purchaser is acquiring the Shares for its own account, for the purpose of investment only and not with a view to, or for sale in connection with, any distribution thereof if in violation of applicable securities Laws. Purchaser has not, directly or indirectly, offered the Shares to anyone or solicited any offer to buy the Shares from anyone, so as to bring to such offer and sale of the Shares by Purchaser within the registration requirements of the Securities Act or the securities Laws of any other jurisdiction. Purchaser has been given sufficient access to all information required by it and as it considers appropriate to evaluate its purchase of the Shares.

For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Solvent,” when used with respect to any Person, means that, as of any date of determination, (a) the amount of the “fair saleable value” of the assets of such Person will, as of such date, exceed (i) the value of all “liabilities of such person, including contingent and other liabilities,” as of such date, as such quoted terms are generally determined in accordance with applicable Laws governing determinations of the insolvency of debtors, and (ii) the amount that will be required to pay the probable Liabilities of such Person as such debts become absolute and mature, (b) such Person will not have, as of such date, an unreasonably small amount of capital for the operation of the businesses in which it is engaged or proposed to be engaged following such date, and (c) such Person will be able to pay its Liabilities as they mature.

No broker, finder or financial adviser is entitled to any brokerage or finder’s fee or other commission or form of compensation from Purchaser or any of its Affiliates in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, except for J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, the fees of which will be paid by Purchaser or one of its Affiliates.

7.4. Pre-Closing Access. (a) Prior to the earlier of the Closing Date or the termination of this Agreement pursuant to its terms, subject to applicable Law, Purchaser shall be entitled, at Purchaser’s expense, to have such access to the offices, Representatives, and books, data, files, information, records, documents, correspondence and other materials of the Company and the Transferred Subsidiaries as Purchaser may reasonably request. Any such access pursuant to this Section 7.4(a) shall be conducted or occur at reasonable times during regular business hours, as approved in advance by Seller and shall not otherwise unreasonably interfere with business or operations of Seller and its Subsidiaries; provided that any such access shall be subject to the terms and conditions of the Confidentiality Agreement and that in no event shall Purchaser have access to any information that relates solely to any portion of the business of Seller and its Affiliates that is not being transferred pursuant to this Agreement; provided further that the auditors and independent accountants of Seller or any of its Affiliates shall not be obligated to make any work papers available to any Person unless and until such Person has entered into reasonable and customary third-party access and confidentiality agreements in form and substance acceptable to such auditors or accountants.

-47-

employment with the Company, the Transferred Subsidiaries, Purchaser or any of the Affiliates of Purchaser following the Closing Date (each, a “Continuing Employee”), during any period of employment, (i) a base salary or wage rate, as applicable, at least equal to the base salary or wage rate, as applicable, provided to such Continuing Employee immediately prior to the Closing Date, (ii) annual bonus and commission opportunities that are no less favorable as to opportunity amounts (regardless of the form of payment) than the annual bonus and commission opportunities provided to such Continuing Employee immediately prior to the Closing Date, (iii) employee health and welfare benefits that are substantially comparable, in the aggregate, to the employee health and welfare benefits provided to the Continuing Employees immediately prior to the Closing Date and (iv) severance benefits no less favorable than the greater of (A) the severance benefits provided by Purchaser to similarly situated employees of Purchaser and (B) the severance benefits provided to such Continuing Employee immediately prior to the Closing Date; provided that any cash severance payments made to a Continuing Employee may be offset by any contractual right of such Continuing Employee to receive (x) a payout of guaranteed compensation upon a termination or (y) payment with respect to post-termination restrictive covenants, it being understood that any contractual right to receive a payout of guaranteed compensation (which, for the avoidance of doubt shall be conditioned on such Continuing Employee executing a release of claims) or any payment with respect to post-termination restrictive covenants, in each case, shall not offset a Continuing Employee’s right to receive severance benefits in the form of healthcare continuation coverage under this Section 7.6(a)(iv). Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the parties agree to the allocation of certain specified liabilities as set forth on Schedule 7.6(a) of Seller’s Disclosure Schedule. Immediately following the Coverage Period, the Continuing Employees who continue to be employed with Purchaser or any of the Affiliates of Purchaser shall be eligible to participate in benefit plans comparable to those provided to similarly situated employees of Purchaser and the Affiliates of Purchaser, as applicable, in the same geography.

(b) Prior to the Closing Date, any Company Employee who is not already employed by the Company or a Transferred Subsidiary (other than Inactive Employees) will be transferred to the Company or a Transferred Subsidiary or, at the request of Purchaser will not be so transferred and instead will be offered employment, effective as of the Closing, by Purchaser or one of its Subsidiaries; provided that Purchaser shall, no later than twenty (20) Business Days after the date hereof, provide written notice to Seller of any such Company Employee who will be offered employment by Purchaser and shall not be so transferred pursuant to this Section 7.6(b).

Subject to Seller notifying Purchaser of an Inactive Employee’s return to active employment within 10 Business Days of such return, Purchaser or one of its Affiliates shall make an offer of employment to such Inactive Employee; provided that the Inactive Employee returned to active employment with Seller Parent or one of its Subsidiaries on or prior to the expiration date of such Inactive Employee’s eligibility for disability benefits or approved leave period and within 180 days after Closing.

-48-

(c) Purchaser agrees to honor, assume, fulfill and discharge, or to cause the Company or any Transferred Subsidiary to honor, assume, fulfill and discharge, all obligations to Company Employees under the Benefit Plans set forth on Schedule 7.6(c) of Seller’s Disclosure Schedules.

(d) Effective as of the Closing Date or, for an Inactive Employee, the date the Inactive Employee’s employment transfers to Purchaser or one of its Affiliates pursuant to Section 7.6(b) (such date, the “Transfer Date”), the Company Employees and their applicable dependents shall cease to be covered by any applicable Seller Benefit Plans and shall cease to accrue benefits under any such Seller Benefit Plans. From and after the Closing Date or as applicable, the Transfer Date, each Continuing Employee shall receive credit for all service with the Company or any of its Affiliates to the extent recognized by Seller prior to the Closing for purposes of eligibility, vesting, level of benefit and benefit accrual (other than benefit accrual under a defined benefit pension plan) under employee benefit plans sponsored or maintained by Purchaser or its Affiliates (“Purchaser Benefit Plans”) in which such Continuing Employee is eligible to participate; provided, however, that such service shall not be recognized to the extent that such recognition would result in any duplication of benefits. Subject to the terms of the applicable Purchaser Benefit Plan, Purchaser or its Affiliates, as applicable, shall use reasonable best efforts to (i) cause each Continuing Employee to be immediately eligible to participate in any Purchaser Benefit Plan to the extent coverage under such Purchaser Benefit Plan is replacing comparable coverage under a Benefit Plan in which such Continuing Employee participated immediately prior to the Closing Date or as applicable, the Transfer Date, (ii) waive all limitations as to pre-existing and at-work conditions, if any, with respect to participation and coverage requirements applicable to each Continuing Employee under Purchaser Benefit Plans that are welfare benefit plans and (iii) provide credit to each Continuing Employee for any co-payments and deductibles paid by such employees under the Seller Benefit Plans for the plan year during which the Closing Date occurs for the purpose of satisfying all deductible, coinsurance and maximum out of pocket requirements applicable to each Continuing Employee and his or her covered dependents for the applicable plan year under a Purchaser Benefit Plan to the extent coverage under such Purchaser Benefit Plan is replacing comparable coverage under a Benefit Plan in which such Continuing Employee participated immediately prior to the Closing Date, or as applicable, the Transfer Date.

(e) If Purchaser maintains a defined contribution plan that includes a qualified cash or deferred arrangement within the meaning of Section 401(k) of the Code, (the “Purchaser 401(k) Plan”), Purchaser shall permit each Continuing Employee participating in the Seller Benefit Plan that is a defined contribution plan with a qualified cash or deferred arrangement within the meaning of Section 401(k) of the Code (the “Seller 401(k) Plan”) to effect, and Purchaser agrees to cause the Purchaser 401(k) Plan to accept, in accordance with applicable Law and subject to the provisions of the Purchaser 401(k) Plan, a “direct rollover” (within the meaning of Section 401(a)(31) of the Code) of his or her account balances (including earnings thereon through the date of transfer and promissory notes evidencing all outstanding loans) under the Seller 401(k) Plan if such rollover to the Purchaser 401(k) Plan is elected in accordance with applicable Law and each applicable plan by such Continuing Employee.

-49-

(f) Following the Closing, Seller shall promptly pay to Purchaser, upon Purchaser’s written request, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to one or more accounts designated by Purchaser, any Transaction Expenses to the extent not taken into account at the Closing or pursuant to the adjustment under Section 3.4.

(g) The parties agree to reasonably cooperate with each other (i) in order to comply with the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act and any similar state or local Laws, (ii) to comply with their respective obligations, if any, pursuant to the Automatic Transfer Regulations and (iii) to avoid, to the extent possible, the restart of United States Federal Insurance Contributions Act, as amended, or the United States Federal Unemployment Tax Act, as amended, and related state unemployment insurance laws upon or following the Closing Date with respect to each Continuing Employees for the tax year during which the Closing Date occurs.

(iii) purchase or acquire (through merger, stock purchase or purchase of all or substantially all of the assets or otherwise) any entity with an existing Competing Business and continue to operate such existing Competing Business; provided that if the consolidated revenue of such Competing Business for the twelve (12) month period ending on the date of the consummation of such purchase or acquisition is greater than fifteen percent (15%) of such acquired entity’s total revenue over the same period, Seller then shall commence as promptly as practicable a process to sell such Competing Business to an unaffiliated third party and shall use reasonable best efforts to complete such sale within nine (9) months after the consummation of such purchase or acquisition;

(iv) own or hold equity interests in Purchaser or its Affiliates; and

The parties acknowledge that this Section 7.7 constitutes an independent covenant that shall not be affected by performance or nonperformance of any other provision of this Agreement. If any covenant contained in this Section 7.7 is found to be invalid, void or unenforceable in any situation in any jurisdiction by a final determination of a court or any other Governmental Authority of competent jurisdiction, Seller and Purchaser agree that: (i) such determination shall not affect the validity or enforceability of (A) the offending term or provision in any other situation or in any other jurisdiction or (B) the remaining terms and provisions of this Section 7.7 in any situation in any jurisdiction; and (ii) the offending term or provision shall be reformed rather than voided and the court or Governmental Authority making such determination shall have the power to reduce the scope, duration or geographical area of any invalid or unenforceable term or provision, to delete specific words or phrases, or to replace any invalid or enforceable term or provision with a term or provision that is valid and enforceable and that comes closest to expressing the intention of the invalid or unenforceable provision, in order to render the restrictive covenants set forth in this Section 7.7 enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law.

(d) The parties hereby acknowledge and agree that irreparable damage would occur if this Section 7.7 were not performed in accordance with its specific terms and that any breach of this Section 7.7 would not be adequately compensated by monetary damages alone.

(b) Purchaser shall ensure that from and after the Closing until the sixth (6th) anniversary thereof, the Constituent Documents of the Company and the Transferred Subsidiaries shall contain provisions no less favorable with respect to indemnification, advancement of expenses and exculpation of Indemnified Directors than are presently set forth in such Constituent Documents, which provisions shall not be amended, repealed or otherwise modified in any manner that would adversely affect the rights thereunder of any such individuals.

(c) The provisions of this Section 7.13 shall survive the Closing and are intended to be for the benefit of, and will be enforceable by, each Indemnified Director and his or her heirs and are in addition to, and not in substitution for, any other rights to indemnification or contribution that any such person may have from the Company or either of the Transferred Subsidiaries or any other person by contract or otherwise except as expressly provided in this Agreement. The obligations of Purchaser and Seller under this Section 7.13 shall not be terminated or modified in a manner so as to adversely affect any Indemnified Director or any other person entitled to the benefit of this Section 7.13 without the prior written consent of the affected Indemnified Director.

(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the rights to indemnification and advancement of expenses provided for in this Section 7.13 shall not apply to, and each Indemnified Director waives such rights with respect to, matters or claims arising from claims made by any Purchaser Indemnified Parties pursuant to this Agreement.

7.14. Release of Guarantees.

(a) Purchaser shall reasonably cooperate with Seller prior to the Closing Date in Seller’s efforts to terminate as of the Closing, all guarantees or commitments by Seller or its Affiliates (other than the Company and the Transferred Subsidiaries) set forth on Schedule 7.14(a) of Seller’s Disclosure Schedules of specified obligations of the Company or either of the Transferred Subsidiaries under any agreements to which the Company or either of the Transferred Subsidiaries is a party (the “Seller Performance Guarantees”), including if requested by the relevant beneficiary of such Seller Performance Guarantee following discussions between such beneficiary and Purchaser, by offering guarantees, support or other security arrangements reasonably acceptable to the relevant beneficiary of such Seller Performance Guarantee (including bank or other third-party guarantees, letters of credit or insurance) or taking such other actions as Purchaser and such beneficiary may mutually agree on. Purchaser shall not take any action to cause any Seller Performance Guarantees (and, so long as any Seller Performance Guarantee remains in effect, obligations thereunder) to be renewed, extended, expanded or amended after the Closing.

(b) If any Seller Performance Guarantees are not terminated as of the Closing other than through any failure to take action by Seller or its Affiliates (the “Continuing Seller Performance Guarantees”), Purchaser shall (i) use its reasonable best efforts to procure that the Continuing Seller Performance Guarantees be terminated as promptly as practicable after the Closing on terms reasonably acceptable to the parties to this Agreement, (ii) defend, indemnify

and hold harmless Seller and its Affiliates against and from, and reimburse Seller and its Affiliates for any reasonable losses incurred to the extent relating to or arising under the Continuing Seller Performance Guarantees following the Closing and (iii) procure that such documents, as are reasonably requested by Seller or its Affiliates and in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Purchaser, be executed by Purchaser to further evidence the obligations set forth in clauses (i) and (ii) of this Section 7.14(b).

(c) Prior to the Closing, Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain and deliver to Purchaser terminations and/or releases with respect to all Indebtedness of the Company and the Transferred Subsidiaries to the extent reasonably requested by Purchaser, in each case, in customary and commercially reasonable form, subject in each case to the Closing.

7.15. Trademark Matters. (a) Except as specifically provided in this Section 7.15, Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that none of Purchaser or its Affiliates is purchasing, acquiring, receiving a license to or otherwise obtaining any right, title or interest in, to or under any Intellectual Property owned or licensed by Seller or any of its Affiliates (other than the Company and the Transferred Subsidiaries), including in or to the Seller Trademarks.

(b) Within thirty (30) days following the Closing Date, Purchaser shall cause each of Company and its Affiliates (which, as of and after the Closing, shall include the Company and the Transferred Subsidiaries) to make all filings necessary to (i) change its corporate name to a name that does not contain any Seller Trademarks, and (ii) withdraw all its fictitious name filings and “doing business as” filings for any name that contains any Seller Trademarks. Purchaser shall provide Seller with any additional information, documents and materials that Seller may reasonably request to evidence the filings described in clauses (i) and (ii).

(c) Purchaser shall, and shall cause its Affiliates (which, as of and after the Closing, shall include the Company and the Transferred Subsidiaries) to cease and discontinue all uses of the Seller Trademarks; provided, however, that the Company and the Transferred Subsidiaries may, during the ninety (90) day period immediately after the Closing, continue to use the Seller Trademarks on signage, stationery, forms, and marketing and informational materials, to the extent such items exist and are in the possession of the Company or its Affiliates as of the Closing, in the same manner as used by the Company and the Transferred Subsidiaries as of Closing. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as restricting or limiting Purchaser or any of its Affiliates from using or referencing any Seller Trademarks in a manner that would constitute “fair use” under applicable Law if such use were made by a third party (including, for the avoidance of doubt, in any materials or documents to indicate Seller’s or any Seller’s Affiliate’s historic or factual relationship to the Company and the Transferred Subsidiaries in a manner that would constitute “fair use” under applicable Law if such use were made by a third party).

(d) Purchaser hereby irrevocably and unconditionally covenants, and will cause its Subsidiaries (which, as of and after the Closing, shall include the Company and the

-56-

Transferred Subsidiaries) and its and their respective successors and assigns to covenant, not to (i) represent to any third party that it has, in any jurisdiction, any ownership rights in or to the Seller Trademarks or any other rights in the Seller Trademarks other than the specific rights conferred in this Agreement; or (ii) adopt, use, register or attempt to register in any jurisdiction any of the Seller Trademarks or instruct others to do any of the foregoing.

(e) From and after the Closing Date, neither Seller nor any of its Subsidiaries shall use, or license or permit any third party to use, (i) any Trademarks included in the Owned Intellectual Property, or (ii) any Trademarks consisting of “KCG,” “Knight” or “GETCO” used together with any Trademarks included in the Owned Intellectual Property (collectively, “Combined Marks”) (other than the domain names listed on Schedule 7.15(g) of Seller’s Disclosure Schedules, but only for the sole purpose of redirecting such domain names as contemplated by Section 7.15(g) below), and Seller shall promptly cancel any registered trademarks for the Combined Marks owned by Seller or any of its Subsidiaries, including KCG HOTSPOT (registration number 4594145).

(f) Prior to the Closing Date, Seller Parent shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, assign and transfer all right, title and interest of Seller Parent and its Affiliates in, to and under the websites and domain names listed on Schedule 7.15(f) of Seller’s Disclosure Schedules (including all goodwill associated therewith and all content contained therein) to the Company.

(g) During the twelve (12) month period immediately following the Closing Date, Seller Parent shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, redirect each of the domain names listed on Schedule 7.15(g) of Seller’s Disclosure Schedules, which domain names are being retained by Seller, to such IP address or such other domain name as Purchaser may reasonably instruct from time to time (it being understood that such IP address or such other domain name shall be reasonably related to the business of the Company and the Transferred Subsidiaries).

7.16. Transition Plan. Between the date of this Agreement and the Closing Date, Seller and Purchaser shall, in accordance with mutually acceptable guidelines and procedures and in all events in accordance with applicable Law, internal policies of Purchaser, Seller Parent and its Subsidiaries and the Transition Services Agreement: (a) designate certain Persons (including, in the case of Persons designated by Seller, representatives of the Company) to serve as members of one or more (as agreed by Seller and Purchaser) transition teams with representatives of the other party and cause such Persons to devote a reasonable amount of time to discussing transition matters, including periodic meetings to discuss planning and implementation of transition plans, and (b) reasonably cooperate with the other party to assist in the formulation of a transition plan in furtherance of the transactions contemplated by the Transition Services Agreement; provided that Seller and its Affiliates (including the Company and the Transferred Subsidiaries) shall not be required to disclose to Purchaser or any of its Affiliates any Trade Secrets and any other confidential information owned or held by Seller or any of its Affiliates (including, prior to Closing, the Company and the Transferred Subsidiaries); provided, further, that implementation of such transition plan shall commence only following the Closing Date. In furtherance of the foregoing, Seller Parent shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, promptly after the Closing Date, transfer and deliver to the Purchaser (or otherwise make

-57-

available for Purchaser to copy) all data (including all production databases, electronic trading records, emails, customer records, Salesforce data, file shares and electronic documentation (including the Wiki)) primarily used or held for use in, or otherwise necessary for, the businesses of the Company and the Transferred Subsidiaries; but (i) solely to the extent that such data is in the possession or control of Seller Parent or any of its Affiliates (other than the Company or any Transferred Subsidiaries) and (ii) excluding any accounting and tax records (including Tax returns and related work pages) and other records to the extent they contain information relating to the businesses of Seller or its Affiliates (other than accounting and tax records and other records relating solely to the Company and the Transferred Subsidiaries). For the avoidance of doubt, Seller may retain such data or copies thereof to the extent necessary to provide Services (as defined in the Transition Services Agreement) under the Transition Services Agreement or as otherwise contemplated by the Transition Services Agreement.

7.17. Intercompany Items. (a) Except as contemplated by the Transition Services Agreement or otherwise Previously Disclosed on Schedule 7.17 of Seller’s Disclosure Schedules, Seller shall take, or cause to be taken, all such actions necessary so that the Intercompany Payables and the Intercompany Receivables as of the Closing Date shall have been settled or paid in full in cash (and, to the extent any Intercompany Payables or Intercompany Receivables are not paid on or prior to Closing, all such unpaid amounts shall be deemed cancelled effective as of the Closing). At least five (5) Business Days prior to the Closing, Seller shall prepare and deliver to Purchaser a statement setting out in reasonable detail the calculation of all such intercompany account balances based upon the latest available financial information as of such date and, to the extent requested by Purchaser, provide Purchaser with supporting documentation to verify the underlying intercompany charges and transactions. All such intercompany account balances shall be paid in full in cash prior to the Closing.

(b) In addition, Seller shall cause all other agreements, contracts, arrangements and commitments between or among the Company or any of the Transferred Subsidiaries, on the one hand, and Seller or any of its Affiliates (but excluding Company and the Transferred Subsidiaries), on the other hand, to be terminated effective as of the Closing Date without continuing liability or obligation of any kind of the Company or any of the Transferred Subsidiaries, on the one hand, or Seller and its Affiliates (other than the Company or the Transferred Subsidiaries), on the other hand (other than any agreement, contract, arrangement or commitment set forth on Schedule 7.17 of Seller’s Disclosure Schedules, which shall remain in effect after the Closing in accordance with its terms), and Seller shall deliver written evidence of each such termination to Purchaser at or prior to the Closing.

7.18. Financing Cooperation. Prior to Closing, Seller shall use its reasonable best efforts to, and shall cause its Affiliates and its and their Representatives to use their reasonable best efforts to reasonably cooperate in connection with Purchaser’s arrangement of any debt financing for the transactions contemplated by this Agreement as may be reasonably requested by Purchaser at Purchaser’s sole expense, including (a) participation in a reasonable number of meetings, presentations, drafting sessions, due diligence sessions and road shows (it being understood that no participation by any director of Seller or its Affiliates or any officer of Seller or its Affiliates (other than officers of the Company and the Transferred Subsidiaries) shall

-58-

be required in any such meetings, presentations, due diligence sessions, drafting sessions and sessions with prospective lenders in connection with the Purchaser Financing), (b) as promptly as reasonably practicable, furnishing Purchaser, its Affiliates and its financing sources (subject to the financing sources being bound by confidentiality agreements in accordance with customary market practice) with the financial information required by clause (g) of Exhibit C of the Financing Commitment as in effect on the date hereof (the “Financing Commitment Required Information”) and such other information regarding the Company and the Transferred Subsidiaries customarily included in information memoranda and other syndication materials for revolving and term loan facilities but excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, any pro forma financial statements, including providing consolidated financial statements for the Company and the Transferred Subsidiaries as of and for the year ended December 31, 2014 no later than February 15, 2015, (c) reasonably cooperating with the marketing efforts of Purchaser and its financing sources for any debt to be raised to complete the transactions contemplated hereby, (d) assisting with the preparation of customary materials, including information memoranda and packages, lender and investor presentations, rating agency presentations, and similar documents and materials, in connection with the financing, (e) facilitating the pledging of collateral in connection with the Purchaser Financing (which shall only be effective at or after Closing) and (f) the execution and delivery of any commitment letters, pledge and security documents, other definitive financing documents, or other requested certificates of documents in connection with the Purchaser Financing. None of Seller, its Affiliates or its or their Representatives shall have any liability or obligation under any agreement or any document related to Purchaser’s financing or be required to take any action in violation or conflict with any applicable Laws, and Purchaser shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Seller and its Affiliates, and their respective Representatives, from and against any and all Losses suffered or incurred by them (including attorneys’ and other fees and expenses as incurred) in connection with the performance of its obligations under this Section 7.18 or in connection with the arrangement of the Purchaser Financing except in the event such Losses arose out of or resulted from the willful misconduct of any such persons or historical information relating to the Company or the Transferred Subsidiaries provided in writing by or on behalf of Seller, the Company or the Transferred Subsidiaries for use in the Purchaser Financing offering materials, and this indemnification shall survive termination of this Agreement. Purchaser shall promptly, upon request by Seller, reimburse Seller for all costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by Seller or its Affiliates (including the documented out-of-pocket Company and the Transferred Subsidiaries) in connection with the cooperation contemplated by this Section 7.18. For the avoidance of doubt, (x) nothing in this Section 7.18 shall require any cooperation to the extent that it would unreasonably interfere in any material respect with the business or operations of Seller or its Affiliates (including the Company and the Transferred Subsidiaries), (y) none of Seller or its Affiliates (including the Company and the Transferred Subsidiaries) shall be required to pay any commitment or other similar fee or incur any other liability or obligation in connection with the Purchaser Financing and (z) none of Seller or their respective Affiliates (including the Company and the Transferred Subsidiaries) shall be required to execute or deliver any document, including any agreement, instrument, guaranty, warranty, indemnity or certificate, that is not contingent upon the Closing or that would be effective prior to Closing. All non-public information identified as such regarding Seller and its Affiliates provided to Purchaser, its Affiliates or its

-59-

Representatives pursuant to this Section 7.18 shall be kept confidential by them in accordance with Section 7.11, except for disclosure to potential lenders or investors as required in connection with the Purchaser Financing subject to customary confidentiality provisions. For the avoidance of doubt, Purchaser’s obtaining of any debt financing shall not be a condition to the Closing.

7.19. Maintenance of Financing. (a) Purchaser shall use its reasonable best efforts to obtain the Purchaser Financing on the terms and conditions described in the Financing Commitment and, if applicable, any definitive agreement relating to the Purchaser Financing as promptly as practicable, including using its reasonable best efforts to (i) maintain in effect the Financing Commitment on the terms and conditions (including the flex provisions) contained therein, (ii) enter into definitive agreements with respect thereto on the terms and conditions (including the flex provisions) contemplated by the Financing Commitment or on other terms that would not (A) reduce the aggregate amount of the Purchaser Financing (including by changing the amount of fees to be paid or original issue discount of the Purchaser Financing) or (B) impose new or additional conditions, or otherwise amend, modify or expand any conditions, to the receipt of the Purchaser Financing, in each case in a manner that could reasonably be expected to impair Purchaser’s ability to perform its obligations under this Agreement and the Transition Services Agreement in any material respect, (iii) satisfy on a timely basis all conditions applicable to Purchaser in such definitive agreements that are within its control, and (iv) comply with its obligations under the Financing Commitment and the definitive agreements with respect thereto. Purchaser shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause the lenders and the other persons providing such Purchaser Financing to fund the Purchaser Financing required to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Transition Services Agreement on the Closing Date. In the event any portion of the Purchaser Financing becomes unavailable on the terms and conditions (including the flex portions) contemplated in the Financing Commitment or the definitive agreements with respect thereto, Purchaser shall promptly notify Seller and, as promptly as practicable following the occurrence of such event, use its reasonable best efforts to obtain alternative financing from the same or alternative sources on terms and conditions not materially less favorable, taken as a whole, to Purchaser (taking into account the flex provisions as set forth in the Financing Commitment), in an amount sufficient to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Transition Services Agreement as promptly as possible. Any such alternative financing shall constitute Purchaser Financing and any commitment received by Purchaser in connection with such alternative financing shall constitute a Financing Commitment.

(b) Purchaser shall not agree to any amendments or modifications to, or grant any waivers of, any condition or other material provision under the Financing Commitment or the definitive agreements with respect thereto without the consent of Seller if such amendments, modifications or waivers, in each case that could reasonably be expected to impair the Purchaser’s ability to perform its obligations under this Agreement and the Transition Services Agreement in any material respect. Purchaser shall provide Seller notice of any such amendment promptly and, upon Seller’s written request, Purchaser shall provide Seller with a copy thereof.

-60-

(c) Purchaser shall provide to Seller copies of all executed definitive documents related to the Purchaser Financing. Purchaser shall give Seller prompt notice: (i) of any material breach or default (in the case of a material breach or default by a party other than Purchaser and its Affiliates, to Purchaser’s Knowledge) in respect of the Purchaser Financing and (ii) of the receipt by Purchaser of any notice or other communication from any party to the Financing Commitment with respect to any material breach, default, termination or repudiation by any party to any Financing Commitment or any definitive document related to the Purchaser Financing or any provisions of the Financing Commitment or any definitive document related to the Purchaser Financing.

7.20. Resignations. At or prior to the Closing Date, Seller will deliver to Purchaser the resignations of all officers and directors of the Company and each Transferred Subsidiary who are not Company Employees from their positions with the Company or such Transferred Subsidiary effective as of the Closing Date.

ARTICLE 9

TAX MATTERS

9.1. Tax Covenants. (a) Seller’s Liability for Taxes. Seller shall be liable for and indemnify Purchaser Indemnified Parties for (i) all Taxes imposed on the Company or the Transferred Subsidiaries or for which the Company or the Transferred Subsidiaries are otherwise liable for any Pre-Closing Tax Period, (ii) all Taxes of any person other than the Company or the Transferred Subsidiaries for which the Company or the Transferred Subsidiaries are liable (A) under Treasury Regulation Section 1.1502-6 or any similar provision of state, local or foreign Law as a result of being or having been before the Closing a member of an affiliated, consolidated, combined or unitary group or (B) as a result of being or having been before the Closing a party to any Tax Sharing Agreement, (iii) any Losses that are incurred as a result of a breach of any representation or warranty contained in Section 4.14, and (iv) any Losses that are incurred as a result of a breach of any covenant of the Company or Seller contained in Section 7.1 and Section 7.2(i) or this Article 9; provided, however, that Seller shall have no liability for any Taxes or Losses described in clauses (i) through (iv) to the extent that (x) such Taxes or Losses were reflected as a liability in the calculation of Closing Net Working Capital or (y) in the case of any Taxes described in clause (iii), such Taxes or Losses relate to any Post-Closing Tax Period, other than any Taxes or Losses resulting from a breach of the representations and warranties of Sections 4.14(e), (h), (j) and (l). Seller shall pay to Purchaser the Taxes for which Seller is liable pursuant to this Section 9.1(a) but which are payable with Tax Returns to be filed by Purchaser pursuant to Section 9.1(e) within ten (10) days prior to the due date for the filing of such Tax Returns, except as otherwise provided by this Article 9.

(b) Tax Refunds. Seller shall be entitled to any refund in the form of cash received by the Company or a Transferred Subsidiary or direct credits against Taxes otherwise payable by the Company or a Transferred Subsidiary with respect to Taxes of the Company or a Transferred Subsidiary for any Pre-Closing Tax Period (other than any such refund that was reflected in the calculation of Closing Net Working Capital and, for the avoidance of doubt, Purchaser, the Company or their Subsidiaries shall not be required to pay or cause to be paid to Seller pursuant to this Section 9.1(b) any refund or credit to the extent such refund or credit reduced other amounts with respect to which Seller would have been obligated to pay to a Purchaser Indemnified Party pursuant to Section 9.1(a) but for such refund or credit). After receipt by Purchaser, the Company or any of their Subsidiaries of any such Tax refund, or after the filing of a Tax Return on which the Taxes payable for which Purchaser, the Company or any of their Subsidiaries would otherwise be liable is reduced as a result of such Tax credit to which Seller is entitled, Purchaser or the Company shall, or shall cause the applicable Subsidiary to, deliver and pay over, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, such Tax refunds to Seller. At the request of Seller, Purchaser will, and will cause the Company and its Subsidiaries to, execute such documents and take any other reasonable actions as may be necessary for Purchaser, the Company and their Subsidiaries to obtain Tax refunds for which any such Person is eligible and to which Seller is entitled pursuant to this Section 9.1(b) and Seller shall reimburse Purchaser, the Company and their Subsidiaries for any out-of-pocket expenses incurred by them in connection therewith. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any such

-63-

Tax refunds shall be for the account of Purchaser, the Company and their Subsidiaries to the extent that such Tax refund is attributable to the carryback from any Post-Closing Tax Period of items of loss, deductions or other Tax items of the Purchaser, the Company and their Subsidiaries.

(c) Purchaser’s Liability for Taxes. Purchaser shall be liable for and indemnify Seller for the Taxes of the Company and the Transferred Subsidiaries for any Post-Closing Tax Period. For the avoidance of doubt, Purchaser shall be entitled to any refund of Taxes of the Company received for such periods.

(d) Taxes for Short Taxable Year. For purposes of paragraphs (a) and (c) of this Section 9.1, whenever it is necessary to determine the liability for Taxes (other than Transfer Taxes) of the Company or the Transferred Subsidiaries for a Straddle Period, the portion of such Tax related to the portion of such Tax period ending on and including the Closing Date (i) in the case of any Taxes other than (A) gross receipts, sales or use Taxes and (B) Taxes based upon or related to income, shall be deemed to be the amount of such Tax for the entire Tax period multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days in the Tax period ending on and including the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of days in the entire Tax period, and (ii) in the case of any Tax based upon or related to income and any gross receipts, sales or use Tax, shall equal the portion of such Tax that would have been payable if the relevant Tax period ended on and included the Closing Date. All determinations necessary to give effect to the allocation set forth in the foregoing sentence shall be made in a manner consistent with prior practice of the Company or the Transferred Subsidiaries.

(e) Tax Returns.

(i) Seller shall file or cause to be filed when due (including all applicable extensions of the time to pay) all Tax Returns that are required to be filed by or with respect to the Company and the Transferred Subsidiaries on or before the Closing Date and shall pay any Taxes due in respect of such Tax Returns, and Purchaser shall file or cause to be filed when due all Tax Returns that are required to be filed by or with respect to the Company and the Transferred Subsidiaries after the Closing Date (other than income Tax Returns with respect to periods for which a consolidated, unitary or combined income Tax Return of Seller includes the operations of the Company and the Transferred Subsidiaries, which shall be filed by Seller) and shall pay any Taxes due in respect of such Tax Returns (it being understood that Seller shall be obligated to reimburse and indemnify Purchaser with respect to the Taxes described in Section 9.1(a)(i)).

(ii) Any Tax Return of the Company or either of the Transferred Subsidiaries (for the avoidance of doubt, other than a consolidated, unitary or combined income Tax Return of Seller) which is to be prepared by one party but which (A) could reasonably be expected to result in an indemnity obligation of the other party under Section 9.1(a) or Section 9.1(c) or (B) relates to a Straddle

-64-

Period, shall be provided to the other party for its review, reasonable comment, and consent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld) at least thirty (30) days prior to filing.

(f) Treatment of Payments for Tax Purposes. Seller, Purchaser, the Company and the Transferred Subsidiaries shall treat any and all payments under this Article 9 and Section 10.2 as an adjustment to the Purchase Price for Tax purposes unless they are required to treat such payments otherwise by applicable Law.

(g) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the provisions of this Section 9.1, and not the provisions of Article 10 shall govern indemnity claims with respect to Losses that relate to Taxes; provided, however, that, Section 10.1 shall apply for purposes of Section 9.1(a)(iii) and Section 10.4 (other than Section 10.4(a) or 10.4(b)) shall apply to indemnity claims with respect to Losses that relate to Taxes mutatis mutandis.

9.2. Contest Provisions. (a) Each party agrees to give prompt notice to the other party of any claim for Taxes or the commencement of any suit, action or proceeding (including Tax audits) (a “Tax Claim”) in respect of which indemnity may be sought under Section 9.1(a) or 9.1(c) (specifying with reasonable detail the basis therefor). No failure or delay in providing notice hereunder shall relieve either party of its obligations hereunder, except to the extent it is actually prejudiced by such delay or failure.

(b) Other than with respect to a Tax Claim in respect of Taxes relating to a Straddle Period that is governed by Section 9.2(c), the Indemnifying Person may, at its own expense, (i) participate in any Tax Claim and (ii) with respect to any Tax Claim that relates solely to indemnified Taxes where Seller is the Indemnifying Person or solely to indemnified Taxes where Purchaser is the Indemnifying Person, as the case may be, assume the defense of any such Tax Claim; provided that in the event that the Tax Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of a Tax Claim pursuant to clause (ii) of this paragraph, (A) the Tax Indemnified Party shall have the right (but not the duty) to participate in the defense thereof and to employ counsel, at its own expense (which, for the avoidance of doubt, the costs of such voluntary participation will not give rise to any indemnity under Section 9.1(a) or 9.1(b)), separate from the counsel employed by the Tax Indemnifying Party, (B) the Tax Indemnifying Party shall keep the Tax Indemnified Party reasonably informed regarding the status of such Tax Claim and consult with the Tax Indemnified Party upon the Tax Indemnified Party’s reasonable request for such consultation with respect to such Tax Claim, and (C) the Tax Indemnifying Party shall not, without the Tax Indemnified Party’s consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, agree to any settlement of such Tax Claim. Whether or not the Tax Indemnifying Party chooses to defend or prosecute any claim, all of the parties hereto shall cooperate in the defense or prosecution thereof and the Tax Indemnified Party shall not settle or make payment on account of any Tax Claim in respect of which indemnity may be sought without the consent of the Tax Indemnifying Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

-65-

(c) With respect to a Tax Claim in respect of Taxes relating to a Straddle Period, Purchaser and Seller shall, in good faith, jointly control the defense of such Tax Claim with respect to any item that relates to both a Pre-Closing Tax Period and a Post-Closing Tax Period; provided, however, that (i) control over any claims with respect to any item that relates solely to a Pre-Closing Tax Period shall be governed by the provisions of this Section 9.2(c) and (ii) Purchaser shall control any claims with respect to an item that relates solely to a Post-Closing Tax Period.

(d) To the extent that there is an inconsistency between this Section 9.2 and Section 10.3, the provisions of this Section 9.2 shall govern.

9.3. Tax Sharing Payments. (a)(i) (A) Within thirty (30) days after each of the first (1st) three (3) anniversaries of the Closing Date, Purchaser shall pay to Seller an amount equal to the Target Pre-Option Annual Tax Sharing Amount.

(B) Within ninety (90) days after the filing of the Tax Return for the Purchaser Consolidated Group with respect to a Pre-Option Taxable Year, Purchaser shall provide a written statement to Seller setting forth the amount of True-Up Tax Benefit Amount with respect to such Pre-Option Taxable Year. If the True-Up Tax Benefit Amount with respect to such Pre-Option Taxable Year is greater than zero (0), within fourteen (14) days of providing Seller with the written statement, Purchaser shall pay to Seller an amount equal to such True-Up Tax Benefit Amount multiplied by the Tax Benefits Sharing Percentage with respect to such Pre-Option Taxable Year. If the True-Up Tax Benefit Amount with respect to such Pre-Option Taxable Year is less than zero (0), within fourteen (14) days after Purchaser provides Seller with the written statement from Purchaser, Seller shall pay to Purchaser an amount equal to the absolute value of such True-Up Tax Benefit Amount multiplied by the Tax Benefits Sharing Percentage with respect to such Pre-Option Taxable Year.

(C) Within five (5) days after the day on which a payment is made pursuant to clause (i)(B) or clause (ii) of this Section 9.3(a) with respect to a Post-Closing Taxable Year (such Post-Closing Taxable Year, the “Payment Year”), if (I) the aggregate amount of the Allocable Target Pre-Option Period Tax Sharing Amounts with respect to (x) all Pre-Option Taxable Years prior to the Payment Year and (y) if the Payment Year is a Pre-Option Taxable Year, the Payment Year (the Pre-Option Taxable Years described in (x) and (y) together, the “Catch-Up Years”) is greater than (II) the Tax Sharing Payment previously made with respect to the Catch-Up Years (the difference between the amount described in (I) and (II), the “Catch-Up Amount”), Purchaser shall pay to Seller an amount equal to the difference, if any, of (u) the Transaction Structure Tax Benefits with respect to the Catch-Up Years and (v) the Tax Sharing Payments previously made with respect to the Catch-Up Years; provided that Purchaser shall only be required to make payments pursuant to this clause (C) until the aggregate amount paid to Seller pursuant to this clause (C) is equal to the Catch-Up Amount; provided further that if Purchaser becomes obligated hereunder to make the Tax Sharing Option Payment, Purchaser shall not be required thereafter to make any payment pursuant to this clause (C).

(ii) Within ninety (90) days after the filing of the Tax Return for the Purchaser Consolidated Group with respect to a Post-Option Taxable Year, Purchaser shall pay to Seller an amount equal to the applicable Tax Benefits Sharing Percentage of the Transaction Structure Tax Benefits with respect to such Post-Option Taxable Year, as reflected on such Tax Return.

(iii) If, following the filing of an amended Tax Return or a Final Determination, the Transaction Structure Tax Benefits for a Post-Closing Taxable Year is increased, subsequent Tax Sharing Payments shall be increased by an amount equal to (x) the applicable Tax Benefits Sharing Percentage of the Transaction Structure Tax Benefits with respect to such Post-Closing Taxable Year, as reflected on such amended Tax Return or as adjusted pursuant to such Final Determination, minus (y) the Tax Sharing Payment made with respect to such Post-Closing Taxable Year; provided, however, that if, at the time of the increase described in this clause (iii), Purchaser has previously paid an amount to Seller in respect of a Catch-Up Amount attributable to a Pre-Option Taxable Year, Purchaser shall not be required to make a payment to Seller pursuant to this clause (iii) until Purchaser has retained a cumulative amount otherwise payable pursuant to this clause (iii) with respect to such Pre-Option Taxable Year, such that, after taking into account the amounts retained by Purchaser pursuant to this proviso and the amounts paid to Seller in respect of Catch-Up Amounts pursuant to clause (i)(C) of Section 9.3(a), Seller has received no more than its Tax Benefits Sharing Percentage of the Transaction Structure Tax Benefits for the relevant Pre-Option Taxable Year.

(iv) If, following the filing of an amended Tax Return or a Final Determination, the Transaction Structure Tax Benefits for a Post-Closing Taxable Year is decreased, subsequent Tax Sharing Payments shall be decreased by an amount equal to (x) the Tax Sharing Payment made with respect to such Post-Closing Taxable Year, minus (y) the applicable Tax Benefits Sharing Percentage of the Transaction Structure Tax Benefits with respect to such Post-Closing Taxable Year, as reflected on such amended Tax Return or as adjusted pursuant to such Final Determination (“Excess Payment”); provided that if the aggregate amount of subsequent Tax Sharing Payments as of the fifteenth (15th) anniversary of the Closing Date is less than such Excess Payment, then, no later than fourteen (14) days after Purchaser provides Seller with notice of such amount, Seller shall make a payment to Purchaser in an amount equal to the difference between such Excess Payment and the total amount that was subtracted from subsequent Tax Sharing Payments; provided further that if an amended Tax Return is filed, or a Final Determination occurs, after the last Tax Sharing Payment is made by Purchaser pursuant to clause (i) or (ii) of Section 9.3(a), and as a result there is an Excess Payment, Seller shall make a payment to Purchaser in an amount equal to such Excess Payment no later than fourteen (14) days after Purchaser provides Seller with notice of such Excess Payment. If an adjustment is made pursuant to this clause (iv) reducing the Transaction Structure Tax Benefits with respect to any Post-Closing Taxable Year and a Catch-Up Amount was previously made pursuant to clause (i)(C) of Section 9.3(a), notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller shall make a payment to Purchaser equal to the difference between (p) the aggregate amount of Tax Sharing Payments previously made and (q) the aggregate amount of Tax Sharing Payments that would have been made pursuant to this Section 9.3(a) had the adjustment pursuant to clause (iv) of this Section 9.3(a) been reflected in the originally filed Tax Return of the Purchaser Consolidated Group, no later than fourteen (14) days after Purchaser provides Seller with a written notice.

-67-

(b) Seller shall have the right, exercisable upon written notice to Purchaser, within thirty (30) days after the third (3rd) anniversary of the Closing Date, to require Purchaser to make a one-time cash payment to Seller equal to the Tax Sharing Option Payment Amount, which payment shall be made by Purchaser by the last day of the calendar month following Purchaser’s receipt of such written notice (such payment, the “Tax Sharing Option Payment”); provided, however, that if a Tax Sharing Acceleration Event occurs, Seller shall be deemed to have delivered such written notice to Purchaser and the Tax Sharing Option Payment shall immediately become due and payable. In the event that Seller fails to deliver such a notice, Purchaser shall have the right to provide Seller with a written notice, within fourteen (14) days after the expiration of the period during which Seller is entitled to deliver a written notice, that Purchaser elects to make the Tax Sharing Option Payment. If Purchaser becomes obligated hereunder to make the Tax Sharing Option Payment, Purchaser shall not have any obligations under clause (ii) of Section 9.3(a) with respect to any Post-Option Taxable Year and no adjustment to the Tax Sharing Payment that would otherwise be required under clause (iii) or (iv) of Section 9.3(a) shall be required to be made by either party.

(c) All payments pursuant to this Section 9.3(a) (other than amounts treated as interest for U.S. federal income tax purposes) will be treated as subsequent purchase price adjustments that give rise to further Transaction Structure Tax Benefits in the year of payment and, as a result, shall be reflected in the calculation of Transaction Structure Tax Benefits for the current and subsequent Post-Closing Taxable Years. For the avoidance of doubt, any basis adjustment (or any amount treated as interest for U.S. federal, state or local income tax purposes) as a result of the Tax Sharing Option Payment shall not be reflected in any Transaction Structure Tax Benefits for any period or result in any payment obligation under this Section 9.3.

(d) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if the Trigger Event has occurred, Purchaser shall have no obligation to make any payment pursuant to this Section 9.3 other than the Tax Sharing Option Payment.

(e) In the event that any payment required to be made by Purchaser or Seller under this Section 9.3 is made after the date on which such payment is required to be made under this Section 9.3, interest will accrue on such amount from (but not including) the due date of the payment pursuant to this Section 9.3 to (and including) the date such payment is actually made at the rate equal to ten percent (10%), compounded on a daily basis.

(f) During any portion of the Measurement Period that occurs after the Closing Date, Purchaser shall operate the business of Hotspot FX in commercially reasonable fashion, and shall not permit the Company or any Transferred Subsidiary to, directly or indirectly take any action that is intended to artificially decrease the notional amounts traded on Hotspot FX.

(g) During any portion of the Measurement Period that occurs prior to the Closing Date, without limiting Seller’s obligations to operate the business of Hotspot FX in the ordinary course of business pursuant to Section 7.2 and otherwise in accordance with the terms of Article 7, Seller shall not, and shall not permit the Company or any Transferred Subsidiary to, directly or indirectly take any action that is principally intended to artificially increase the notional amounts traded on Hotspot FX.

-68-

(h) (i) No later than forty-five (45) days prior to the due date (taking into account extensions) of the U.S. federal income Tax Return of the Purchaser Consolidated Group with respect to a Post-Closing Taxable Year, Purchaser shall provide Seller a copy of the portions of the draft of such Tax Return that could reasonably be expected to impact the amount of the Transaction Structure Tax Benefits with respect to such Post-Closing Taxable Year for Seller’s review and comment. No later than fifteen (15) days thereafter, Seller shall provide Purchaser with any comments that Seller may have with respect to such Tax Return, which comments Purchaser shall consider in good faith. For the avoidance of doubt, Purchaser shall retain the ultimate discretion as to the preparation and filing of such Tax Return.

(ii) In the event that Purchaser becomes aware of a fact that could reasonably be expected to give rise to an adjustment under Section 9.3(a)(iii) or Section 9.3(a)(iv), Purchaser shall promptly notify Seller of such facts, shall keep Seller reasonably informed as to developments relating to such matter, consult with Seller in good faith with respect to such matter and consider in good faith any comments made by Seller in connection therewith. For the avoidance of doubt, Purchaser shall retain the ultimate discretion with respect to the matter potentially giving rise to an adjustment under Section 9.3(a)(iii) or Section 9.3(a)(iv), including the decision to settle a tax audit or other controversy or file an amended Tax Return.

(iii) Purchaser shall have no further obligations, and Seller shall have no further rights, under this Section 9.3(h) after the date on which Purchaser makes the Tax Sharing Option Payment.

9.4. Termination of Tax Allocation Agreements. Any tax allocation or sharing agreement or arrangement, whether or not written, that may have been entered into by Seller or any of its Affiliates on the one hand, and the Company or the Transferred Subsidiaries, on the other hand, shall be terminated as to the Company and the Transferred Subsidiaries as of the Closing Date, and no payments which are owed by or to the Company and the Transferred Subsidiaries pursuant thereto shall be made thereunder. From and after the Closing Date, this Agreement shall be the sole Tax allocation or sharing agreement or arrangement relating to the Company or the Transferred Subsidiaries for all Pre-Closing Tax Periods.

9.5. Cooperation. Seller and Purchaser shall cooperate in good faith, and shall cause their respective Affiliates, officers, employees, agents, auditors and Representatives to cooperate in good faith, in connection with (i) the preparation and filing of all Tax Returns relating to the Company and the Transferred Subsidiaries, (ii) the determination of Seller, Purchaser or their respective Affiliates, as the case may be, of any liability for any Taxes relating to the Company or the Transferred Subsidiaries, (iii) any audit, dispute or other examination or assessment by any Tax Authority with respect to such Taxes, or (iv) any judicial or administrative proceeding relating to liability for such Taxes. Purchaser and Seller agree to use commercially reasonable efforts to retain or cause to be retained all books and records with respect to Taxes relating to the Company and the Transferred Subsidiaries until the applicable

-69-

period for assessment under applicable Law (giving effect to all extensions or waivers) has expired, and to use commercially reasonable efforts to abide by or cause the abidance with all record retention agreements entered into with any Tax Authority. Purchaser and Seller shall cooperate with each other in the conduct of any audit or other proceedings involving the Company or the Transferred Subsidiaries for any Tax purposes and each shall execute and deliver such powers of attorney and other documents as are necessary to carry out the intent of this Section 9.5.

9.6. Transfer Taxes. All excise, sales, use, value added, transfer (including real property transfer), stamp, documentary, filing, recordation and other similar taxes, together with any interest, additions or penalties with respect thereto and any interest in respect of such additions or penalties, resulting directly from the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (the “Transfer Taxes”), shall be equally apportioned between the Seller, on the one hand, and Purchaser, on the other hand. Notwithstanding Section 9.1(e), which shall not apply to Tax Returns relating to Transfer Taxes, any Tax Returns that must be filed in connection with Transfer Taxes shall be prepared and filed when due by such party as required by applicable Law and, if required by applicable Law, the other party shall join in the execution of any such Tax Returns.

9.7. Survival. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the provisions of this Article 9 shall survive for the full period of all applicable statutes of limitations (giving effect to any waiver, mitigation or extension thereof).

ARTICLE 10

SURVIVAL; INDEMNIFICATION

10.1. Survival. All of the representations and warranties of Seller and Purchaser contained in this Agreement shall survive the Closing until the second (2nd) anniversary of the Closing Date; provided, however, that the representations and warranties contained in Section 4.1, Section 4.3, Section 4.4, Section 4.14, Section 5.1, Section 5.2, Section 5.4, Section 5.5, Section 6.1, Section 6.3, Section 6.4, Section 6.6 and Section 6.9 (collectively, the “Fundamental Representations”) shall survive until the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations thereof, except that the representations and warranties in Section 4.14 shall survive until thirty (30) days following the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations thereof; provided, further, that the representations and warranties in Section 4.15(b) and, solely with respect to Intellectual Property, Section 4.5, shall be limited to Seller’s Knowledge during the period between the first (1st) anniversary of the Closing Date and the second (2nd) anniversary of the Closing Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any bona fide notice given prior to such applicable expiration date claiming an alleged breach of any representation or warranty under this Agreement shall without further action extend the survival period for the representation or warranty alleged to have been breached as applied to the circumstances set forth in such notice until immediately after the final resolution of the matter. All covenants and other agreements contained in this Agreement that by their terms contemplate performance after the Closing Date shall survive the Closing in accordance with their terms, and breaches of all covenants and other agreements contained in this Agreement shall survive indefinitely or until the latest date permitted by Law.

-70-

10.2. Indemnification. (a) Subject to the limitations contained in this Article 10, Seller agrees to indemnify Purchaser, its Affiliates (including the Company and the Transferred Subsidiaries after the Closing Date) and their respective Representatives (collectively, the “Purchaser Indemnified Parties”) for all Losses actually incurred or sustained by any of them or to which any of them may become subject arising out of or relating to (i) any breach of or inaccuracy in the representations or warranties of Seller contained in this Agreement (in all cases, other than the representation and warranty made in the first sentence of Section 4.12, without giving effect to any materiality, Company Material Adverse Effect or similar qualifications thereto), (ii) any breach of any covenant or agreement of Seller contained in this Agreement, (iii) service providers of Seller, Seller Parent or any of their respective Affiliates who are not Company Employees and Seller Benefit Plans that are not listed on Schedule 7.6(c) of Seller’s Disclosure Schedules (it being understood that nothing in this Section 10.2(a)(iii) shall be construed as restricting or limiting the obligations of Purchaser or one of its Affiliates to Continuing Employees under Section 7.6 of this Agreement) and (iv) the matters listed on Schedule 10.2(a)(iv) of Seller’s Disclosure Schedules.

(b) Subject to the limitations contained in this Article 10, Purchaser agrees to indemnify Seller, its Affiliates and their respective Representatives (collectively, the “Seller Indemnified Parties”) for all Losses actually incurred or sustained by any of them or to which any of them may become subject resulting from or arising out of or relating to (i) any breach of or inaccuracy in the representations or warranties of Purchaser contained in this Agreement (in all cases without giving effect to any materiality, Purchaser Material Adverse Effect or similar qualifications thereto) or (ii) any breach of any covenant or agreement of Purchaser contained in this Agreement.

10.3. Claims for Indemnification. (a) Notice of Claim. Any Person who is claiming indemnification pursuant to the provisions of Section 10.2 (the “Indemnified Person”) shall deliver prompt written notification in accordance with Section 12.1 to the Person to provide indemnification under this Agreement (the “Indemnifying Person”) of each such claim for indemnification by specifying in reasonable detail the material facts known to such Indemnified Person constituting the basis for, and the amount (if known) of (including the basis of calculation of such amount), the claim asserted (a “Claim Notice”). Such written notice shall be accompanied by a copy of all papers served, if any, relating to the claim. Failure of the Indemnified Person to give such notice promptly after becoming aware of such claim or to give such notice in such form shall not relieve the Indemnifying Person from its obligations under this Agreement except to the extent that the Indemnifying Person is actually prejudiced by such failure.

-71-

(b) Defense and Settlement of Third-Party Claims. To the extent a claim for indemnification results from a Third-Party Claim:

(i) The Indemnifying Person shall have thirty (30) days (or such lesser number of days set forth in the Claim Notice as may be required by court proceedings in the event of a litigated matter) after receipt of the Claim Notice (the “Notice Period”) to notify the Indemnified Person that it desires to assume the defense of the Indemnified Person against such Third-Party Claim. In the event that the Indemnifying Person notifies the Indemnified Person within the Notice Period that it desires to defend the Indemnified Person against a Third-Party Claim, the Indemnifying Person shall have the right to defend the Indemnified Person by appropriate proceedings and shall have the sole power to direct and control such defense at its expense; provided that the Indemnifying Person shall not have the right to assume, direct or control the defense of the Indemnified Person if the Third-Party Claim seeks material non-monetary, equitable or injunctive relief or alleges violation of criminal law or if the Indemnifying Person has failed or is failing to prosecute or defend the Third-Party Claim. Once the Indemnifying Person has duly assumed the defense of such Third-Party Claim, the Indemnified Person shall have the right, but not the obligation, to participate in any such defense and to employ separate counsel of its choosing. The Indemnified Person shall participate in any such defense at its expense (which expense shall not constitute a Loss from and after the date the Indemnifying Person has validly assumed the defense of such claim) unless the Indemnifying Person and the Indemnified Person are both named parties to the proceedings or the Indemnified Person shall have reasonably concluded, based on the written advice of counsel, that representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing material interests between them. The Indemnifying Person shall not, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Person, settle, compromise or offer to settle or compromise any Third-Party Claim; provided, however, that no such prior written consent of the Indemnified Person shall be required to any proposed settlement that involves only the payment of money by the Indemnifying Person, includes as an unconditional term thereof the granting by the person asserting such claim or bringing such action of an unconditional release from liability to all Indemnified Persons with respect to such claim and does not include any admission of culpability by the Indemnified Persons.

(ii) If the Indemnifying Person is not permitted to or elects not to defend the Indemnified Person against such Third-Party Claim, whether by not giving the Indemnified Person timely notice of its desire to so defend or otherwise, the Indemnified Person shall have the right but not the obligation to assume its own defense; it being understood that the Indemnified Person’s right to indemnification for a Third-Party Claim shall not be adversely affected by assuming the defense of such Third-Party Claim. The Indemnified Person shall not (A) settle a Third-Party Claim or (B) make an external communication

-72-

intended for dissemination or to reach members of the public regarding the settlement of a Third-Party Claim, in each case without the consent of the Indemnifying Person (which shall not be unreasonably withheld) and, if applicable in the case of clause (A), its respective insurer.

(iii) Each party shall cooperate with the other in order to ensure the proper and adequate defense of any such Third-Party Claim, including by providing reasonable access to each other’s relevant business records, other documents and employees and by using its reasonable efforts to, and causing the Indemnified Person and its Affiliates to use their reasonable efforts to, (A) preserve all material evidence relevant to the claim, (B) allow the Indemnifying Person and its advisors to investigate the fact, matter, event or circumstance alleged to give rise to such claim and whether and to what extent any amount is payable in respect of such claim, and (C) disclose to the Indemnifying Person and its Representatives all material of which it is aware which relates to the claim and provide, and procure that its Affiliates provide, all such information and assistance, including access to premises and personnel, and the right to examine and copy or photograph any assets, accounts, documents and records, as the Indemnifying Person or its Representatives may reasonably request, subject to the Indemnifying Person and its advisers agreeing in such form as the Indemnified Person may reasonably require to keep all such information confidential and to use it only for the purpose of investigating and defending the claim in question. The Indemnified Person agrees to make its employees reasonably available to participate in the defense of any Third-Party Claim at the Indemnifying Person’s reasonable expense.

(c) Direct Claims. If an Indemnified Person delivers a Claim Notice with respect to any claim that does not result from a Third-Party Claim, both the Indemnified Person and the Indemnifying Person shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate and arrive at a mutually acceptable resolution of such claim within the next thirty (30) days. If a mutually acceptable resolution cannot be reached between the Indemnified Person and the Indemnifying Person within such thirty (30) day period, the parties may thereupon proceed to pursue any and all available remedies at law.

10.4. Indemnification Limitations.

(a) Indemnification of Purchaser. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, with respect to claims for indemnification pursuant to Section 10.2(a)(i) (other than with respect to any Fundamental Representations): (i) Seller shall not be liable to the Purchaser Indemnified Parties for Losses under Section 10.2(a)(i) until the aggregate amount of Losses (excluding any De Minimis Losses), exceeds the Indemnity Threshold Amount, after which the Purchaser Indemnified Parties shall be entitled to receive the amount of any such Losses in excess of the Indemnity Threshold Amount; (ii) the aggregate amount of Losses for which the Purchaser Indemnified Parties shall be entitled to receive any payment from Seller or Seller’s Affiliates shall not exceed the Indemnity Cap; and (iii) no

-73-

payment for any Loss under Section 10.2(a)(i) shall be made on account of De Minimis Losses; provided that under each of clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) of this Section 10.4(a), the amount of any Loss shall be calculated in accordance with the other provisions of this Section 10.4.

(b) Indemnification of Seller. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, with respect to claims for indemnification pursuant to Section 10.2(b)(i) (other than with respect to any Fundamental Representations): (i) Purchaser shall not be liable to the Seller Indemnified Parties for Losses under Section 10.2(b)(i) until the aggregate amount of Losses, excluding any De Minimis Losses (as calculated in accordance with this Section 10.4(b)), with respect to such matters exceeds the Indemnity Threshold Amount, after which the Seller Indemnified Parties shall be entitled to receive the amount of any such Losses in excess of the Indemnity Threshold Amount; (ii) the aggregate amount of Losses under Section 10.2(b)(i) for which the Seller Indemnified Parties shall be entitled to receive any payment from Purchaser shall not exceed the Indemnity Cap; and (iii) no payment for any Loss shall be made on account of De Minimis Losses; provided that in each case (i), (ii) and (iii), the amount of any Loss shall be calculated in accordance with the other provisions of this Section 10.4.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, no Person shall be liable under this Article 10 for any consequential, special, exemplary or punitive damages, except (i) to the extent awarded in a Final Determination in connection with a Third-Party Claim, or (ii) for any consequential damages or losses that are reasonably foreseeable.

(d) Each Indemnified Person shall be obligated in connection with any claim for indemnification under this Article 10 to use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain any insurance proceeds available to such Indemnified Person with regard to the applicable claims. The amount of any Losses sustained by the Purchaser Indemnified Parties or the Seller Indemnified Parties shall be reduced by (i) any amount received by the Purchaser Indemnified Parties or the Seller Indemnified Parties, as the case may be, with respect to such Losses under any insurance coverage (net of any reasonable costs in connection with such recovery) or from any other party alleged to be responsible therefor (it being understood that, subject to Section 10.4(f), nothing in this Section 10.4(d) shall require any Purchaser Indemnified Party or any Seller Indemnified Party to pursue any Action against any such other party alleged to be responsible) and (ii) any net Tax benefit actually realized by the Purchaser Indemnified Parties or the Seller Indemnified Parties, as the case may be, with respect to such Losses through a reduction in Taxes otherwise due. The amount of any Losses sustained by the Purchaser Indemnified Parties or the Seller Indemnified Parties shall be increased by the amount of any Tax imposed on the receipt of any indemnity payment with respect to any such Losses.

(e) Subject to the other provisions of this Article 10, each Indemnified Person shall act in good faith regarding the conduct of any proceedings or the taking of any action for which indemnification may be sought.

(f) Each Indemnified Person shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate any Loss that is subject to indemnification pursuant to Section 10.4(a) or (b). In the event an Indemnified Person fails to use its commercially reasonable efforts to so mitigate a Loss, the Indemnifying Person shall have no liability for any portion of such Loss that reasonably would have been avoided had the Indemnified Person made such efforts.

-74-

(g) If the Indemnified Person receives any payment from an Indemnifying Person in respect of any Losses pursuant to this Article 10 and the Indemnified Person could have recovered all or a part of such Loss from a third party based on the underlying claim asserted against the Indemnifying Person, the Indemnified Person shall assign such of its rights to proceed against such third party as are necessary to permit the Indemnifying Person to recover from such third party the amount of such payment.

(h) If an Indemnified Person recovers an amount from a third party or actually realizes any net Tax benefit, in each case, in respect of any Loss that is the subject of indemnification under this Agreement after all or a portion of such Loss has been paid by an Indemnifying Person pursuant to this Article 10, the Indemnified Person shall promptly remit to the Indemnifying Person the excess (if any) of (i) the amount paid by the Indemnifying Person in respect of such Loss, plus the amount received from third parties in respect thereof, plus the amount of any net Tax benefit actually realized in respect thereof, minus (ii) the amount of the Loss.

10.5. Survival of Indemnity. The obligation of Purchaser and Seller to indemnify under this Article 10 as to claims covered by Sections 10.2(a)(i) and 10.2(b)(i), as applicable, shall expire on the second anniversary of the Closing Date, and shall not apply to any claims pursuant to Sections 10.2(a)(i) and 10.2(b)(i) made after such date, except that the obligation of Purchaser and Seller to indemnify with respect to (i) claims for indemnity pursuant to Sections 10.2(a)(i) and 10.2(b)(i) made in writing by Seller Indemnified Parties and Purchaser Indemnified Parties, as applicable, within such two-year period shall continue until final resolution of such claims and (ii) the Fundamental Representations shall continue until the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations (or such longer period specified with respect to representations and warranties in Section 4.14).

10.6. Exclusive Remedy. Except in the case of fraud or the failure of Purchaser to make a Tax Sharing Payment and without limiting the right of the parties to specific performance pursuant to Section 12.11, or as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the parties hereto acknowledge and agree that should the Closing occur, the indemnities provided for in this Agreement shall be the sole and exclusive remedies of the Purchaser Indemnified Parties and the Seller Indemnified Parties for any Losses sustained, incurred or suffered relating to or arising out of this Agreement.

10.7. Payments. The Indemnifying Person shall pay to the Indemnified Person, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, the amount of any Loss for which the Indemnifying Person is liable under this Agreement no later than three (3) Business Days following any Final Determination with respect to such Loss finding the Indemnifying Person’s liability therefor.

-75-

ARTICLE 11

TERMINATION

11.1. Termination. This Agreement may be terminated at any time prior to the Closing:

(a) By mutual written consent of Purchaser and Seller;

(b) By Purchaser or Seller upon written notice to the other party if the Closing shall not have occurred on or before the Outside Date, unless the failure of the Closing to occur by such date arises out of, or results from, a material breach by the party seeking to terminate this Agreement of any representation, warranty, covenant, agreement or obligation of such party under this Agreement;

(c) By Purchaser or Seller upon written notice to the other party if (i) any Governmental Authority that must grant a Required Governmental Approval has denied such approval and such denial has become final and non-appealable or (ii) any statute, rule, regulation, executive order, ruling, judgment, order, injunction or decree of any Governmental Authority is in effect (which, as applicable, is final and non-appealable) that permanently prohibits or prevents the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, unless, in either case, such denial of approval or issuance of such executive order, ruling, judgment, order, injunction or decree arises out of, or results from, a material breach by the party seeking to terminate this Agreement of any representation, warranty, covenant, agreement or obligation of such party under this Agreement;

(d) By Purchaser, upon written notice to Seller, if Seller has breached its representations, warranties, covenants, agreements or obligations under this Agreement and such breach, individually or in the aggregate, would result in the failure of a condition set forth in Section 8.2, and such breach has not been or cannot be cured within thirty (30) days following written notification thereof or, by its nature, cannot be cured prior to the Outside Date; provided further that the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 11.1(d) shall not be available to Purchaser if Purchaser is currently in material breach of its representations, warranties, covenants, agreements or obligations under this Agreement; or

(e) By Seller, upon written notice to Purchaser, if Purchaser has breached its representations, warranties, covenants, agreements or obligations under this Agreement and such breach, individually or in the aggregate, would result in the failure of a condition set forth in Section 8.3 and such breach has not been or cannot be cured within thirty (30) days following written notification thereof or, by its nature, cannot be cured prior to the Outside Date; provided that the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 11.1(e) shall not be available to Seller if Seller is currently in material breach of its representations, warranties, covenants, agreements or obligations under this Agreement.

11.2. Effect of Termination. In the event this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 11.1, this Agreement shall terminate and become null and void and none of Purchaser, Seller, any of their respective Affiliates or any of the officers, directors or stockholders of any of them shall have any liability of any nature whatsoever under this Agreement, or in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, except that (i) the provisions of this Section 11.2, Section 7.11 and Article 12 shall survive such termination and (ii) nothing in this Agreement will relieve any party from liability for any pre-termination willful or intentional breach by such party of the terms and provisions of this Agreement; provided, however, that notwithstanding the termination of this Agreement pursuant to this Section 11.2, the Confidentiality Agreement shall remain in full force and effect in accordance with its terms.

Nothing in this Section 12.12 shall in any way (a) expand the circumstances in which Purchaser may be liable under this Agreement or as a result of the transactions contemplated hereby (including as a result of the Purchaser Financing) or (b) limit or qualify the obligations and liabilities of the parties to the Financing Commitment or the definitive financing agreements to each other thereunder or in connection therewith.

EXHIBIT 1

TRANSITION SERVICES AGREEMENT

This TRANSITION SERVICES AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”), is entered into as of , 2015, by and between Knight Capital Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“KCG”), and BATS Global Markets, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“BATS”, and together with KCG, the “Parties”).

RECITALS

WHEREAS, KCG has entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement dated as of January 27, 2015 (the “SPA”) with BATS, whereby, subject to the conditions set forth in the SPA, KCG agrees to sell to BATS and BATS agrees to purchase from KCG all of the issued and outstanding equity interests of Hotspot FX Holdings, Inc. (“Hotspot”); and

WHEREAS, KCG currently provides certain operational, administrative, and other services to Hotspot, and BATS has requested KCG to continue to provide such services following the Closing (as such term is defined in the SPA) (the “Effective Date”);

WHEREAS, it is the intention of the Parties to effect the migration of Services (as defined below) from KCG to BATS as promptly as reasonably practicable;

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants, agreements and promises herein contained and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties hereby agree as follows:

ARTICLE I

DEFINITIONS

Section 1.1 Definitions. For the purposes of this Agreement, unless the context clearly requires otherwise, the following terms shall have the following meanings. Any term not otherwise defined herein shall have the mean ascribed in the SPA.

“Personnel” means the employees, officers, agents, independent contractors and consultants of (a) a Party, (b) the Affiliates (as such term is defined in the SPA) of such Party and (c) in case of KCG, any third parties engaged by KCG or its Affiliates to Provide the Services.

“Provide” or “Provision” means provide or cause to be provided by any Affiliates or third parties.

ARTICLE II

SERVICES

Section 2.1 Services. During the Term of this Agreement, and subject to the terms and conditions hereof, KCG shall Provide to BATS or Hotspot, as applicable, the services set forth on Schedule 2.1 attached hereto (the “Services”), unless terminated in accordance with Section 7.2(c).

Section 2.2 Additional Services. From time to time, to the extent BATS becomes aware of any additional Service not described in Schedule 2.1 (other than any Service previously terminated pursuant to this Agreement) that was Provided by KCG to Hotspot prior to the Closing and is reasonably required after the Closing to continue to operate Hotspot as operated prior to the Closing and cannot otherwise be reasonably Provided by BATS without undue burden, BATS may request in writing that KCG Provide a service relating to the operations of Hotspot that is not set forth in Schedule 2.1 (an “Additional Service”). Such request shall include a description of such Additional Service and the associated business requirements. KCG will consider, in its reasonable discretion, whether it is capable of providing such Additional Service and if reasonably able, shall provide BATS an estimate which includes the “Cost” required to Provide such Additional Service (“Cost” shall be defined as KCG’s fully loaded cost of Providing the applicable Service, including costs of labor, materials, KCG’s customary allocation of overhead and administrative expenses, and fees and expenses charged by third parties). KCG will cooperate with BATS in good faith in negotiating the scope, terms, base Cost and duration of all such Additional Services. Upon agreement between the Parties, the terms relating to such Additional Services will be set forth in a writing referencing this Agreement and executed by the Parties and such Additional Services shall thereafter be deemed to constitute “Services” hereunder, and the content of such separate writing shall be deemed to be incorporated into Schedule 2.1 hereof.

Section 2.3 Replacement Services. If (i) KCG is unable to Provide any Service that is otherwise required to be provided pursuant to this Agreement for any reason outside of its control or (ii) KCG is excused from Providing any Service by reason of Section 2.5(b), KCG shall provide notice thereof to BATS at least sixty (60) days in advance (or as much in advance as reasonably practicable under the circumstances) and shall use its reasonable best efforts to provide BATS or Hotspot (as applicable) substantially equivalent services and support in accordance with this Agreement, which replacement services and support (to the extent acceptable to BATS in its reasonable discretion) shall be considered a Service for purposes of this Agreement and the terms of which will be incorporated into Schedule 2.1 hereof.

Section 2.4 Service Coordinators. KCG and BATS shall each nominate an employee to act as the primary contact person with respect to the Provision of the Services (each, a “Service Coordinator”). Unless otherwise agreed upon by the Parties, all communications relating to this Agreement and to the Services Provided hereunder shall be directed to the Service Coordinators.

Section 2.5 Standard of Performance. (a) KCG shall use reasonable efforts to Provide Services hereunder in a manner consistent with recent practice prior to the Effective Date.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, KCG shall not be obligated to Provide any Services to the extent the provision of such Service would violate (i) any agreement or license with a third party and set forth on Schedule 2.5(b)(i) to this Agreement

to which KCG or its Affiliates are subject as of the date of this Agreement, and any extension or renewal of those agreements or licenses or (ii) applicable Law. With respect to Services that KCG has Provided through a third party provider, KCG shall use reasonable efforts to cause such third party provider to perform such Services in accordance with the contract with the applicable KCG entity; provided that KCG shall not be obligated to incur any cost or expense, in connection with obtaining such approvals, agreements, permits consents, waivers and licenses, except as set forth on Schedule 2.5(b) to this Agreement. To the extent a third party provider refuses or conditions its willingness to perform Services, KCG and BATS will cooperate and jointly participate in negotiating with such third party provider. If, during the term of this Agreement, any agreement with a third party provider under which Services are provided is terminated by such third party provider or not renewed by either party thereto, (i) BATS will use commercially reasonable efforts to secure an agreement with such third party provider to provide such Services, (ii) KCG and BATS will cooperate and jointly participate in negotiating with such third party provider and (iii) BATS shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain substantially similar services from a different third party provider. In connection with the foregoing, KCG will use commercially reasonable efforts to minimize any service disruption, including by providing BATS with prompt advance notice of any such termination or non-renewal to the extent practicable.

(c) BATS agrees to give KCG reasonably prompt notice of any change in the manner the business of Hotspot is conducted or Services Provided that would reasonably be expected to have an adverse effect on KCG’s Provision of Services hereunder. KCG will work in good faith with BATS to determine if the Services can still be provided, and if so, what, if any, changes in the terms of such Services are needed. In addition, in the event BATS determines to make a change in the manner in which the business of Hotspot is operated during the Term that would require Services to be Provided in a different manner (it being understood that KCG shall not be required to provide Services in such different manner except as contemplated by this Section 2.5(c) or as KCG may otherwise consent), BATS may provide notice to KCG and, upon receipt of such notice, KCG will work in good faith with BATS to determine whether such Services can be so Provided without undue burden and, if so, on what terms. If the parties can agree on terms, such Services shall each be considered a Service for purposes of this Agreement and the terms of which will be incorporated into Schedule 2.1 hereof. It is agreed that (i) KCG being required to utilize additional persons (either employees, independent contractors or service providers) to Provide Services, (ii) a non-de minimis increase in the time any KCG employee must commit to Providing Services, (iii) the incurrence of any costs that are not reimbursed by BATS, and (iv) requiring the consent under any license of KCG, shall be considered an undue burden; provided, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, even if a Service would create an undue burden, KCG will reasonably cooperate with BATS in finding a solution that does not include KCG Providing Services and will provide reasonable transition support for the migration of any Service to BATS or a third party.

(d) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the nonperformance of KCG or its Affiliates under this Agreement shall be excused if such nonperformance results from BATS’ or Hotspot’s failure to perform its obligations under this Agreement or from wrongful or tortious actions of BATS or Hotspot after KCG has provided reasonable notice of such nonperformance or wrongful or tortious actions and used commercially reasonable efforts to perform notwithstanding such nonperformance or wrongful or tortious actions.

Section 2.6 Consent and Approvals. KCG represents and warrants to BATS that the execution, delivery and performance by KCG of this Agreement does not and will not (a) violate any provision of the Constituent Documents of KCG, (b) other than with respect to the agreements or licenses set forth on Schedule 2.5(b)(i) to this Agreement, result in a breach of or default, or give rise to any right of termination, cancellation or acceleration of any right or obligation of KCG or any of its Affiliates or to a loss of any benefit to which KCG or its Affiliates is entitled, under any Contract, or any judgment or decree to which any assets of KCG or any of its Affiliates are subject or by which KCG or any of its Affiliates is bound, except for such breaches or defaults that would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to be material to the Provision of any Services hereunder or (c) violate any material Law binding upon KCG, except for such violations that would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to be material to the Provision of any Services hereunder.

ARTICLE III

PAYMENT

Section 3.1 Service Fees. The fees that shall be due in respect of the Services and payable by BATS in accordance with the terms hereof, (the “Service Fees”) are set forth on Schedule 2.1.

Section 3.2 Billing and Payment Terms. KCG shall invoice BATS for Services on a monthly basis for all Services that KCG Provided during the preceding month. Each such invoice shall be payable within thirty (30) days after BATS’ receipt of the invoice. Payment of all such invoices shall be made in U.S. dollars by wire or ACH transfer to such accounts as designated by KCG.

(b) If BATS in good faith disputes any invoice or portion of an invoice by providing written notice to KCG of such dispute prior to the due date, it may withhold the disputed portion of such payment until such dispute is resolved. If BATS disputes any charges hereunder, the Parties shall work together in good faith to resolve such dispute. All undisputed charges shall be paid when otherwise due. If the resolution of such a dispute is that BATS owes an amount of money to KCG, BATS shall pay such amount within fifteen (15) days following resolution of the dispute.

(c) Neither BATS nor Hotspot shall have any right of set off or other similar rights with respect to amounts owed under this Agreement or any other amounts claimed to be owed by or to BATS or its Affiliates arising out of the SPA (other than amounts that are due and payable pursuant to Section 3.4 of the SPA or are otherwise due and payable after a Final Determination pursuant to the SPA).

Section 3.3 Records; Inspection and Audit Rights. During the Term and for twelve (12) months thereafter, KCG agrees to maintain accurate records regarding its compliance with the terms of this Agreement, including substantiating the charges for any Service Provided hereunder. Upon no less than thirty (30) days prior written notice from BATS, KCG shall make available to an independent auditing firm (which will not be the independent auditor of KCG or

BATS) (the “Auditor”) reasonable access to such records. Such access shall be provided during KCG’s regular business hours and any review shall be conducted in a manner that shall not unreasonably interfere with KCG’s normal operations. In no event shall BATS be permitted to request such an audit more than once in any twelve (12) month period or with respect to a calendar quarter in which the aggregate Service Fees payable by BATS are less than $50,000. All information disclosed to the Auditor shall constitute the Confidential Information of KCG, and, if so requested by KCG, the Auditor shall be required to enter into a reasonable and customary nondisclosure agreement with KCG. The Auditor shall not be permitted to disclose to BATS any such information other than its determination that an overcharge or undercharge may have occurred, and in what amount. In the event that either KCG disagrees with an overcharge found by the Auditor, KCG may, within thirty (30) days, deliver a notice to BATS and the Auditor disagreeing with the overcharge and providing evidence of its calculation of the Servicing Fees owed by BATS and its grounds for disagreement. During the fifteen (15) day period following the delivery of notice by KCG, the Auditor shall consider the evidence provided by KCG. Any determination by the Auditor following such fifteen (15) day period of an overcharge, and the amount of such overcharge, shall be final and binding upon KCG. All costs and expenses of such audit shall be borne by BATS unless such audit reveals any overcharge in excess of $10,000, in which case all costs and expenses of such audit shall be borne by KCG. Any amounts found pursuant to this Section 3.3 to have been overpaid by BATS shall be refunded within fifteen (15) days following the confirmation thereof by the audit above.

ARTICLE IV

ACCESS AND SECURITY

Section 4.1 Security Level; Additional Security Measures.

(a) KCG shall at all times during the Term maintain a level of physical and electronic security (including data security and data privacy) in its Provision of the Services that it Provides, consistent with that of market practice for similar businesses and sufficient to at the least comply with applicable Law, and shall use commercially reasonable efforts promptly address any new security related issues, including compliance with applicable Law related to security and issues related to new technologies or threats.

(b) KCG may take physical or information security measures that affect the manner in which Services are Provided, provided that the substance and overall delivery of any affected Services are not materially and adversely effected and otherwise complies with this Agreement; and KCG will give BATS reasonable, prior notice of any such physical or information security measures that are material.

Section 4.2 Security Breaches. In the event that a security breach that relates to the Services, or an attempted security breach that relates to the Services and is deemed in good faith not to be immaterial, is discovered by either Party, such Party shall promptly notify the other Party of such event. KCG and BATS shall, subject to any applicable Law, cooperate with each other regarding the timing and manner of (a) notification to their respective customers, potential customers, employees and/or agents concerning a breach or potential breach of security and (b) disclosures to appropriate Governmental Entities as required by applicable Law regarding such security breach or attempted security breach.

Section 4.3 Systems Security.

(a) If either Party, or its Personnel or clients, will be given access to the other Party’s computer systems or software (“Systems”) in connection with the Provision of the Services, the accessing Party, its Personnel, or its clients, as the case may be, shall comply with all of such other Party’s written system security policies, procedures and requirements (as amended from time to time, the “Security Regulations”), and will not tamper with, compromise or circumvent any security or audit measures employed by such other Party.

(b) Each Party shall use reasonable best efforts to ensure that only those of its Personnel and its clients who are specifically authorized to have access to the Systems of the other Party gain such access, and to prevent unauthorized access, use, destruction, alteration or loss of information contained therein, including notifying its Personnel and its clients regarding the restrictions set forth in this Agreement and establishing appropriate policies designed to effectively enforce such restrictions.

(c) If, at any time, either Party determines that (i) a Party, its Personnel or its clients has sought to circumvent, or has circumvented, the Security Regulations, (ii) that any unauthorized Personnel or clients of a Party has accessed its Systems or (iii) that a Party, any of its Personnel or any of its clients has engaged in activities that may lead or have led to the unauthorized access, use, destruction, alteration or loss of data, information or software, (in each of clauses (i), (ii), and (iii) of this Section, the Party referred to therein being the “Non-Harmed Party”), the Non-Harmed Party shall, upon receipt of notification from the harmed Party or its otherwise becoming aware of such matter, immediately suspend its Personnel’s or client’s access to the Systems until such time that the Parties may reasonably agree to restore such access.

(d) Each of KCG, BATS and their respective Personnel and clients, shall access and use only those Systems, and only such data and information within such Systems to which it has been granted the right to access and use. Any Party shall have the right to deny the Personnel and clients of the other Party access to such Party’s Systems, after prior written notice, in the event the Party reasonably believes that such Personnel or clients pose a security concern.

(e) All user identification numbers and passwords of a Party disclosed to the other Party, and any information obtained from the use of such disclosing Party’s Systems, shall be deemed Confidential Information of the disclosing Party.

ARTICLE V

Section 5.1 Confidential Information.

(a) “Confidential Information” means all information (whether in written, electronic or oral form) disclosed by either Party (the “Disclosing Party”) to the other Party (the “Receiving Party”) under the terms and for purposes of this Agreement (including information disclosed in

the course of negotiation of this Agreement and the terms of this Agreement) that is not generally known to the public and that is designated as confidential or otherwise should reasonably be understood as confidential given the nature and circumstances of its disclosure, except for (i) information that is or becomes publicly available (other than through disclosure by the Receiving Party or its Affiliates), from and after the date of public availability; (ii) information rightfully disclosed to the Receiving Party by a third party not bound by any confidentiality agreement with the Disclosing Party; (iii) information developed by the Receiving Party independent of any of the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information; or (iv) information that is rightfully in the possession of the Receiving Party and not subject to any duty of confidentiality as of the Effective Date.

(b) The Receiving Party shall not, and shall cause its respective Affiliates and each of its and its Affiliates’ directors, partners, officers, managers, members, personnel, accountants, counsel and other advisers, and other representatives (“Representatives”) not to, disclose to any other person or use, except for purposes of this Agreement (and only in accordance with applicable Law), any information that is Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party; provided, however, that the Receiving Party may disclose such Confidential Information, to the extent permitted by any applicable Law (i) to its Representatives solely on a reasonable need to know basis in connection with the performance of the Receiving Party’s obligations or rights under this Agreement, so long as such Representatives are under an obligation to maintain the information as confidential in accordance with Section 5.1(d), (ii) in any report, statement, testimony or other submission to any Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the Receiving Party to the extent required by applicable Law or (iii) in order to comply with any applicable Law applicable to the Receiving Party, or in response to any summons, subpoena or other legal process or formal or informal investigative demand issued to the Receiving Party in the course of any litigation, investigation or administrative proceeding.

(c) In the event that the Receiving Party or any of its Representatives becomes legally compelled by deposition, interrogatory, request for documents, subpoena, civil investigative demand or similar judicial or administrative process to disclose any of the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information, the Receiving Party shall, unless prohibited by law, Provide the Disclosing Party with prompt prior written notice of such requirement, and, shall exercise reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Disclosing Party (at the Disclosing Party’s expense) in any reasonable efforts by the Disclosing Party to obtain a protective order or similar remedy to such Confidential Information, as the case may be, not to be disclosed, including interposing all available objections thereto, such as objections based on settlement privilege. In the event that such protective order or other similar remedy is not obtained, the Receiving Party shall furnish only that portion of the Confidential Information that has been legally compelled, and shall cooperate with the Disclosing Party (at the Disclosing Party’s expense) in any reasonable efforts by the Disclosing Party to obtain assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded such disclosed Confidential Information.

(d) The Receiving Party shall, and shall cause its Representatives to, protect the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information by using the same degree of care, but no less than a reasonable degree of care, to prevent the unauthorized disclosure of such as the Receiving Party uses to protect its own confidential information of a like nature.

(e) The Receiving Party shall cause its Representatives to agree to be bound by the same restrictions on use and disclosure of the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information, as bind the Receiving Party under this Agreement in advance of the disclosure of any such Confidential Information to such Representatives.

TERM AND TERMINATION

Section 7.1 Term of Agreement. Unless earlier terminated pursuant to this Article VII, this Agreement and the Provision of all Services set forth on Schedule 2.1 shall become effective on the Effective Date and shall remain in force for an initial term of two (2) years thereafter or such shorter period as may be set forth on Schedule 2.1 with respect to any Service (the “Initial Term”). The term of this Agreement and each Service shall extend automatically for one additional six (6) month period unless otherwise provided with respect to a Service on Schedule 2.1 (“Renewal Term” and, collectively with the Initial Term, the “Term”), unless either Party notifies the other of its intention not to renew the Agreement a minimum of ninety (90) days before the first day of the Renewal Term.

Section 7.2 Termination.

(a) Termination of Services; Agreement. Any Service set forth on Schedule 2.1 may be terminated at any time by BATS upon written notice to KCG upon the proscribed “Termination Notice Period” set forth for the respective Service on Schedule 2.1. Such notice

must specify the Service or Services to be terminated, and the effective date of such termination. Any such terminated Service shall, on the effective date of such termination, be deemed deleted from Schedule 2.1, KCG shall have no further obligation to Provide such Service, and BATS shall have no further obligation to continue to use or pay for such Service. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement may be terminated at any time by BATS upon thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to KCG.

(b) Termination for Material Breach. If a Party materially breaches this Agreement, the other Party may terminate this Agreement or any or all Services affected by such material breach unless, within thirty (30) days of written notice thereof, such breaching Party (i) cures such material breach to the reasonable satisfaction of the other Party (if such material breach is subject to cure) and (ii) demonstrates, to the other Party’s reasonable satisfaction, that such breaching Party has enacted remedial measures designed to prevent the breach from occurring again.

(c) Termination for Completion of Services. This Agreement may be terminated in writing by both Parties in the event that the Parties agree BATS no longer requires the Provision of Services.

(d) Other Termination by KCG or BATS. This Agreement, or any Service Provided hereunder, as applicable, may be terminated by either Party upon written notice to the other Party, if the other Party makes a general assignment for the benefit of creditors or becomes insolvent, or a receiver is appointed for, or a court approves reorganization or arrangement proceedings on, such Party.

Section 7.3 Effects of Termination. Upon termination of this Agreement for any reason:

(a) The obligations of KCG to Provide the Services hereunder shall immediately cease, and BATS and its Affiliates shall stop using, directly or indirectly, such Services. BATS shall only be liable for such costs incurred in connection with the Services prior to the date of such termination.

(b) Subject to any applicable Law, upon request, each Party shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, return to the other Party or destroy (and certify to the destruction of), all of the other Party’s and its Affiliates’ Confidential Information and proprietary information, and all tangible personal property and books, records or files provided by such other Party or its Affiliates and used in connection with the Provision of Services that are in their possession as of the termination date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Receiving Party shall not be required to return or destroy any Confidential Information that it is required to retain to comply with record-keeping requirements for legal or regulatory purposes, provided that such Confidential Information is kept confidential in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. The return and/or destruction of the Confidential Information shall not relieve Receiving Party from compliance with other terms and conditions of this Agreement.

(c) The following provisions shall survive the termination of this Agreement: Section 3.2, Section 3.3, ARTICLE V, ARTICLE VI, this Section 7.3 and ARTICLE VIII.

Section 8.3 Governing Law; Consent to Jurisdiction. The execution, interpretation, and performance of this Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of New York without giving effect to any conflict of laws provision or rule (whether of the State of New York or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the law of any other jurisdiction

other than the State of New York. Each party hereto agrees that it shall bring any action or proceeding in respect of any claim arising out of or related to this Agreement exclusively in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York or any New York State court located in the Borough of Manhattan in New York City, as well as all courts from which an appeal may be taken or other review sought from the aforesaid course (collectively, the “Chosen Courts”), and solely in connection with claims arising under this Agreement or the transactions that are the subject of this Agreement: 1. irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Chosen Courts, 2. waives any objection to laying venue in any such action or proceeding in the Chosen Courts, 3. waives any objection that the Chosen Courts are an inconvenient forum or do not have jurisdiction over any party hereto and 4. agrees that service of process upon such party in any such action or proceeding shall be effective if notice is given in accordance with Section 8.2.

Section 8.4 Integration. This Agreement, together with the SPA, constitutes the entire agreement and understanding of the Parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings relating to such subject matter.

Section 8.5 Waivers and Consents; Amendments. Any provision of this Agreement may be amended or waived if, and only if, such amendment or waiver is in writing and signed, in the case of an amendment, by KCG and BATS, or in the case of a waiver, by the party against whom the waiver is to be effective. No failure or delay by any party in exercising any right, power or privilege under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege.

Section 8.6 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement shall be held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, such illegality, invalidity or unenforceability shall attach only to such provision and shall not in any manner affect or render illegal, invalid or unenforceable any other provision of this Agreement unless the effect thereof would be to alter materially the effect of this Agreement, and this Agreement (if not so altered) shall be carried out as if any such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision were not contained herein.

Section 8.7 Successors and Assigns; No Third Party Beneficiaries. No Party may assign its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the other Party, except that either Party may assign this Agreement in full to a successor to its business in connection with a merger or sale of all or substantially all its assets relating to the subject matter hereof or in the event of a corporate restructuring or consolidation. Any assignment made in violation of this section shall be wholly void and invalid, the assignee shall acquire no rights whatsoever, and the non-assigning party shall not recognize, nor shall it be required to recognize, the assignment. Subject to the terms of this Section 8.7, this Agreement and all its provisions shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Parties and their respective permitted successors and assigns. Nothing in this Agreement, whether express or implied, shall confer on any person or entity, other than the Parties or their Affiliates, any rights, remedies or liabilities.

Section 8.8 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION,

PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THE ACTIONS OF EITHER PARTY IN THE NEGOTIATION, ADMINISTRATION, PERFORMANCE AND ENFORCEMENT OF THIS AGREEMENT.

Section 8.9 Expenses. Except as stated herein, each Party hereto shall bear its own expenses incident to the preparation, negotiation, execution and delivery of this Agreement and the performance of its obligations hereunder; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 8.9 shall relieve any Party hereto of any liability resulting from such Party’s breach of this Agreement.

Section 8.10 Counterparts; Facsimiles. This Agreement may be executed simultaneously in any number of counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be taken to be an original; but such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same document. The execution and delivery of this Agreement may be effected by facsimile or any other electronic means such as “.pdf” or “.tiff” files.

Section 8.11 Employee Matters. All employees and representatives of KCG or its Affiliates providing Services under this Agreement shall be deemed for purposes of all compensation and employee benefits to be employees or representatives solely of KCG or its Affiliates (as applicable) and not to be employees or representatives of BATS or Hotspot. In performing their respective duties hereunder, all such employees and representatives of KCG or its Affiliates shall be under the direction, control and supervision of KCG or its Affiliates (as applicable), subject to the reasonable directions of BATS, and such entity shall have the sole right to exercise all authority with respect to the employment (including termination of employment), assignment and compensation of such employees and representatives. KCG and its Affiliates shall have responsibility for compliance with all applicable Law relating to the employer/employee relationship between KCG and its Affiliates and their respective employees providing Services, including, but not limited to, federal, state and/or local laws on hours of labor, wages, worker’s compensation, taxes, unemployment compensation, insurance and social security benefits.

Section 8.12 Relationship of the Parties. Each Party and its Affiliates shall be acting as an independent contractor in performing under this Agreement, and shall not be considered or deemed to be an agent, employee, joint venturer or partner of the other Party or any of its Affiliates. Each Party and its Affiliates shall, at all times, maintain complete control over its Personnel and operations, and shall have sole responsibility for staffing, instructing and compensating its Personnel. Neither Party (nor its Affiliates) shall have, or shall represent that it has, any power, right or authority to bind the other Party (or its Affiliates) to any obligation or liability, to assume or create any obligation or liability or transact any business in the name or on behalf of the other Party (or its Affiliates), or make any promises or representations on behalf of the other Party (or its Affiliates), unless agreed to in writing.

Section 8.13 Force Majeure. No Party shall be liable for any failure or performance to the extent attributable to acts, events or causes (including war, riot, rebellion, civil disturbances, terrorist actions or attacks, flood, storm, fire and earthquake or other conditions or events of

nature, or any act of a Governmental Authority) beyond its control to prevent in whole or in part performance by such Party under this Agreement. Each Party agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to minimize the effect of any such, act, event or cause.
