provide the other copies of advertisements (whether in written, electronic, audio, oral or other form or medium) with respect to the Archipelago Exchange in advance of initial publication of such advertisements.

Each of PCX, PCX Equities and the Company agrees to cooperate with and consult each other in good faith to promptly reach the mutual agreement described in the immediately preceding sentence.

4.3. Exclusivity; Agreement Not to Compete.

(a) Until (x) this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Sections 5.1(a) or 5.1(b) or (y) Sections 4.3(a) through 4.3(f) and Section 4.3(i) are terminated pursuant to Section 5.1(d), and subject to Section 4.3(d), except as the Company may expressly agree by prior written consent, each of PCX and PCX Equities covenants and agrees that (i) the Archipelago Exchange operated by the Company or one of its subsidiaries shall be the exclusive facility or Person with respect to which (I) instruments traded on or eligible to be traded on the equities floors of PCX and (II) such similar instruments that are eligible to be traded on the equities floors of PCX under the Listed UTP Plan or the Nasdaq UTP Plan, in the case of clauses (I) and (II), as of the date of the Original Facility Services Agreement, other than, in the case of clauses (I) and (II), futures, derivatives and index products (“Covered Equity Securities”) shall be permitted to trade on, through, on behalf of, or in association with PCX, PCX Equities or any of their respective affiliates, and (ii) (A) PCX and PCX Equities shall terminate, and shall cause each subsidiary of PCX or PCX Equities, their respective affiliates and any third party (other than the Company and its subsidiaries) to terminate all trading of Covered Equity Securities (whether such trading occurs on, through, on behalf of, or in association with PCX, PCX Equities or any of their respective affiliates or any facility of the foregoing) and (B) none of PCX, PCX Equities, their respective subsidiaries and their respective

affiliates shall in any way direct trading of any Covered Equity Securities to, through or in association with a facility or any other Person other than the Company and its subsidiaries, or in any way promote, encourage, direct or recommend trading of any Equity Securities by any ETP Holder, Equity ASAP Holder or any Current PCX Related Person or Current PCXE Related Person through or in association with any facility or any other Person, other than the Company and its subsidiaries. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (x) until the Archipelago Exchange commences operations in accordance with Article I, PCX and PCX Equities may continue to conduct the PCX Equities Business in the manner such business was being conducted as of the date of the Original Facility Services Agreement in the ordinary course consistent with past practice and subject to any rules of PCX or PCX Equities proposed or adopted by PCX or PCX Equities as of the date of the Original Facility Services Agreement related to the PCX Equities Business and (y) OptiMark Services, Inc. may continue as an equities trading facility in accordance with the PSE-OptiMark Agreement, dated as of August 27, 1996, between PCX and OptiMark Holdings, Inc. (“OptiMark”), successor in interest to OptiMark Technologies, Inc., provided that all such equities trading through such facility is effected through the Archipelago Exchange after the Archipelago Exchange commences operations (the “OptiMark Activities”). Nothing in this Section 4.3(a) shall limit, prevent or otherwise restrict any trading of Covered Equity Securities that is (i) related to ordinary course activities conducted by members and participants in PCX’s options trading business or other businesses developed or engaged in by PCX that do not constitute the trading of Covered Equity Securities; provided that PCX does not promote, direct or recommend that such trading be conducted other than through the Archipelago Exchange (other than by providing logistic and administrative support of such trading in response to such members’ and participants’ unsolicited requests) or (ii) executed other than on the Archipelago Exchange as a result of the operation of market rules of PCX Equities relating to the Archipelago Exchange Business adopted in accordance with the Market Structure or as otherwise required by the Commission.

(b) Until (x) this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Sections 5.1(a) or 5.1(b) or (y) Sections 4.3(a) through 4.3(f) and Section 4.3(i) are terminated pursuant to Section 5.1(d), and subject to Section 4.3(d), except as PCX

may expressly agree by prior written consent, the Company covenants and agrees that it will, and it will cause its subsidiaries to, direct to the Archipelago Exchange all Covered Equity Securities order flow that the Company or any of its subsidiaries receives with regard to Covered Equity Securities. Notwithstanding the foregoing, until the Archipelago Exchange commences operations in accordance with Article I, each of the Company and its subsidiaries may continue to conduct its business related to the trading of Equity Securities in the manner such business was being conducted as of the date of the Original Facility Services Agreement.

(c) The Company may at any time trade on or through the Archipelago Exchange any instrument or product that meets the listing criteria of PCX or may be traded on or through the Archipelago Exchange under the Listed UTP Plan or the Nasdaq UTP Plan (hereinafter referred to as “Eligible”). Until (x) this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Sections 5.1(a) or 5.1(b) or (y) Sections 4.3(a) through 4.3(f) and Section 4.3(i) are terminated pursuant to Section 5.1(d), and subject to Section 4.3(d), in the event PCX, PCX Equities or any of their respective subsidiaries has developed or develops at any time after the date of the Original Facility Services Agreement any Equity Security that is not Eligible or any other instrument or product that it proposes to trade on or through the Archipelago Exchange, each of PCX and PCX Equities shall provide the Company with a right of first refusal to trade such Equity Security, instrument or product on or through the Archipelago Exchange for a fee to be paid to PCX or PCX Equities. If the Company declines such offer to trade such Equity Security, product or instrument, PCX shall be free to list or trade such Equity Security, product or instrument itself or in association with another Person. Until (x) this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Sections 5.1(a) or 5.1(b) or (y) Sections 4.3(a) through 4.3(f) and Section 4.3(i) are terminated pursuant to Section 5.1(d), and subject to Section 4.3(d), in the event that the Company or one of its subsidiaries has developed or develops at any time after the date of the Original Facility Services Agreement any instrument or product that is not Eligible, but which the Company proposes to trade on or through the Archipelago Exchange, the Company shall provide PCX and PCX Equities with a right of first refusal to list such instrument or product for trading on the Archipelago Exchange. If PCX or PCX Equities declines such offer to list such instrument or

product or where PCX or PCX Equities informs the Company that the listing of such product or instrument would require the incurrence of additional costs for it to provide self-regulatory organization services and the Company advises PCX that it declines or does not intend to reimburse PCX or PCX Equities for such additional costs, the Company shall be free to list or trade such product or instrument itself other than through the Archipelago Exchange and/or in association with another Person. Any Equity Securities, products or instruments (other than futures, derivatives and index products) that are listed on or traded on or through the Archipelago Exchange pursuant to this Section 4.3(c) shall be deemed to be Covered Equity Securities.

(d) Each of PCX and PCX Equities, on the one hand, and the Company, on the other hand, shall cooperate with and consult the other in connection with any proposed venture or transaction outside of the United States that involves or may involve the trading of material volumes of Covered Equity Securities, and the Company shall use reasonable commercial efforts to trade such Covered Equity Securities through the Archipelago Exchange. In addition, each of PCX and PCX Equities shall provide prior notice to, cooperate with and consult the Company in connection with any proposed venture or transaction pursuant to which PCX would become a self-regulatory organization of or provide self-regulatory services to any equity securities exchange outside of the United States. Neither the foregoing nor any other provision of this Section 4.3 shall restrict (i) the Company or any of its subsidiaries from entering into a venture or transaction outside of the United States or (ii) PCX from entering into a venture or transaction pursuant to which PCX would become a self-regulatory organization of or provide self-regulatory services to any equity securities exchange outside of the United States or PCX would engage in activities outside of the United States that are not Competing Activities.

(e) Until (x) this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Sections 5.1(a) or 5.1(b) or (y) Sections 4.3(a) through 4.3(f) and Section 4.3(i) are terminated pursuant to Section 5.1(d), except as the Company may expressly agree by prior written consent, each of PCX and PCX Equities covenants and agrees that neither PCX nor PCX Equities will, and that each will cause its subsidiaries and affiliates (or any successor thereof) not to, directly or indirectly, at any time: (i) engage in any business or other activity that

competes with the Archipelago Exchange with respect to Covered Equity Securities (“Competing Activities”), provided, however, that the listing, trading or serving as a self-regulatory organization solely with respect to products or instruments that are not Covered Equity Securities, without limitation, shall not constitute Competing Activities; (ii) invest in, acquire, hold or develop any interest in any Person that engages in any Competing Activities, provided that this clause (ii) shall not be deemed breached as a result of, and shall not restrict PCX and its subsidiaries from (A) acquiring, in the aggregate, 1% or less of the securities of a Person that engages in any Competing Activities, (B) holding, in the aggregate, a non-controlling interest of a Person that engages in any Competing Activities, (C) investing, acquiring, holding or developing an interest in a Person in respect of which Competing Activities represent a de minimis portion of such Person’s business, or (D) holding or exercising the warrants for shares of OptiMark that are held by PCX at or after the Closing (as defined in the Contribution Agreement) or holding such shares upon exercise of such warrants; (iii) promote, encourage, direct or recommend any ETP Holders, Equity ASAP Holders or, if applicable, any Current PCX Related Persons or Current PCXE Related Persons to trade through any other exchange, facility or trading system, to reduce their trading activities in the Archipelago Exchange, or not to use the Archipelago Exchange altogether or otherwise promote, direct or recommend the same; (iv) provide, or enter into any contract, agreement or arrangement to provide, any self-regulatory organization functions to any Person other than the Archipelago Exchange in respect of any Covered Equity Securities; or (v) induce or attempt to induce any supplier, vendor or contractor of the Company or any of its affiliates to cease to supply, or to restrict or vary the terms of supply or to discontinue business with the Company or any such affiliate.

(f) Until (x) this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 5.1(a) or 5.1(b) or (y) Sections 4.3(a) through 4.3(f) and Section 4.3(i) are terminated pursuant to Section 5.1(d), except as PCX may expressly agree by prior written consent, the Company covenants and agrees that it will not, and that it will cause the Subsidiaries (or any successor thereof) not to directly (i) engage in any business as or operate as a United States national securities exchange; (ii) engage in any business as or operate as a United States self-regulatory organization; or

(iii) enter into any contract, agreement or arrangement with a United States self-regulatory organization other than PCX or PCX Equities to perform any of the PCX Regulatory Functions, in each case in respect of Covered Equity Securities.

(g) Each of PCX and PCX Equities covenants and agrees that neither PCX nor PCX Equities will, and that each will cause their respective subsidiaries and respective affiliates (or any successor thereof) not to, directly or indirectly, (i) employ or seek to employ any person employed at such time by the Company or any of its affiliates and then working on-site at PCX’s offices, or (ii) otherwise encourage or entice such person to leave such employment, in the case of clauses (i) and (ii), other than pursuant to general advertisements of employment.

(h) The Company covenants and agrees that it will not, and that it will cause the Subsidiaries (or any successor thereof) not to, directly or indirectly, (i) employ or seek to employ any person employed at such time by PCX or PCX Equities and then working in the Archipelago Exchange Business, or (ii) otherwise encourage or entice such person to leave such employment, in the case of clauses (i) and (ii), other than pursuant to general advertisements of employment.

(i) The provisions of this Section 4.3 were negotiated in good faith by the parties hereto and the parties hereto agree that such provisions are reasonable and are not more restrictive than necessary to protect their legitimate interests. If any provision contained in this Section 4.3 shall for any reason be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other provisions of this Section 4.3, but this Section 4.3 shall be construed as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision had never been contained herein. It is the intention of the parties that if any of the restrictions or covenants contained herein is held to be for a length of time which is not permitted by applicable Law, or in any way construed to be too broad or to any extent invalid, such provision shall not be construed to be null, void and of no effect, but to the extent such provision would be valid or enforceable under applicable Law, an arbitral tribunal shall construe and interpret or reform this Section 4.3 to provide for a covenant having the maximum enforceable time period and

other provisions (not greater than those contained herein) as shall be valid and enforceable under such applicable Law. Each of the parties hereto acknowledges and agrees that a breach or threatened breach by any party hereto or any of their respective subsidiaries or affiliates of any of the restrictions set forth in this Section 4.3 will result in irreparable and continuing damage to the other parties for which there may be no adequate remedy at law. In the event of any breach or threatened breach by any party hereto or any of their respective subsidiaries or affiliates of any of the aforesaid agreed upon restrictions, the other parties hereto shall be entitled to injunctive relief as well as any other remedy at law or in equity available to it and, in connection therewith, each of the parties hereto waives and forfeits any right it may have to the posting of any bond or similar support in the event of any breach or threatened breach by it or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates.

4.4. Excluded Liabilities; Indemnification. (a) None of the Company or any of its subsidiaries shall assume or be responsible for, and PCX, PCX Equities and their respective subsidiaries shall retain and be responsible for, all of their respective liabilities and obligations, including, without limitation, all liabilities and obligations, arising out of or related to the business or operations of PCX, PCX Equities or any of their respective subsidiaries, existing, incurred, accrued or arising out of any action or inaction prior to the date on which the Company or one of its subsidiaries becomes a facility of PCX and PCX Equities pursuant to this Agreement, including, without limitation, in connection with any disciplinary matter, litigation or other action arising out of or related to any action or inaction by the individual or entity listed in Section 4.4 of the PCX Disclosure Letter while the individual was a floor broker on the floor of PCX, any liabilities or obligations relating to the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the Original Facility Services Agreement, the Original LLC Agreement and any other Transaction-Related Agreement, the Equities Restructuring, and any liabilities arising from the relationship of PCX or PCX Equities and any of the ETP Holders, Equity ASAP Holders, Current PCX Related Persons or Current PCXE Related Persons (the “Company Excluded Liabilities”).

(b) From the date of the Original Facility Services Agreement, PCX and PCX Equities agree that they

will jointly and severally indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its subsidiaries and affiliates and their respective current, former or future directors, officers, employees, agents and affiliates (the “Company Indemnified Parties”), against any and all claims, costs, losses, liabilities, damages, judgments, fines, penalties, deficiencies or expenses (including, without limitation, interest, court costs, reasonable fees of attorneys, accountants and other experts or other reasonable expenses of investigation, litigation or other proceedings or of any claim, default or assessment) or other damage (including, without limitation, expectation, actual, punitive and consequential damages) (collectively, “Losses”) pertaining to, arising or resulting, directly or indirectly, from or in connection with (i) any inaccuracy in any of the representations or warranties of PCX or PCX Equities in this Agreement, the Original Facility Services Agreement, the Original LLC Agreement or any other Transaction-Related Agreement or in any certificate, instrument or other document delivered in connection with this Agreement, the Original Facility Services Agreement, the Original LLC Agreement or any other Transaction-Related Agreement, (ii) any breach by PCX or PCX Equities of any agreement, covenant or obligation in this Agreement, the Original Facility Services Agreement, the Original LLC Agreement or any other Transaction-Related Agreement, (iii) any Losses relating to any Company Excluded Liabilities, or (iv) any Third Party Claim (as defined below) relating to any Loss arising from any matter referred to in clauses (i), (ii) or (iii) above (and PCX or PCX Equities shall also advance expenses as incurred to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law).

(c) None of PCX, PCX Equities or any of their respective subsidiaries shall assume or be responsible for, and Archipelago Exchange, L.L.C. (“AELLC”) and its subsidiaries shall retain and be responsible for, all of their respective liabilities and obligations, including, without limitation, all liabilities and obligations, arising out of or related to the business or operations of AELLC or any of its subsidiaries, existing, incurred, accrued or arising out of any action or inaction prior to the date on which the Company or one of its subsidiaries becomes a facility of PCX and PCX Equities pursuant to this Agreement (the “PCX Excluded Liabilities”).

(d) From the date of the Original Facility Services Agreement, the Company agrees that it will indemnify and hold harmless PCX, its subsidiaries and affiliates and their respective current, former or future directors, officers, employees, agents and affiliates (the “PCX Indemnified Parties”), against any and all Losses pertaining to, arising or resulting, directly or indirectly, from or in connection with (i) any inaccuracy in any of the representations or warranties of the Company in this Agreement, the Original Facility Services Agreement, the Original LLC Agreement or any other Transaction-Related Agreement or in any certificate, instrument or other document delivered in connection with this Agreement, the Original Facility Services Agreement, the Original LLC Agreement or any other Transaction-Related Agreement, (ii) any breach by the Company of any agreement, covenant or obligation in this Agreement, the Original Facility Services Agreement, the Original LLC Agreement or any other Transaction-Related Agreement, (iii) any Losses relating to any PCX Excluded Liabilities, or (iv) any Third Party Claim (as defined below) relating to any Loss arising from any matter referred to in clauses (i), (ii) or (iii) above (and the Company shall also advance expenses as incurred to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law.)

(e) Promptly after receipt by either a Company Indemnified Party or a PCX Indemnified Party, as the case may be (such recipient, the “Indemnified Party”), of notice of the commencement of any claim, action, suit, proceeding, demand or investigation (whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative), whether asserted or claimed prior to, at or after the date on which the Company or its designee becomes a facility of PCX and PCX Equities pursuant to this Agreement, by a third party (a “Third Party Claim”) which gives rise to any Losses, such Indemnified Party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against an indemnifying party or indemnifying parties under this Agreement (such party against whom the claim is to be made, the “Indemnifying Party”) under such Section, give notice to the Indemnifying Party of its assertion of such claim for indemnification and of the commencement of the action of its assertion of such claim for indemnification and of the commencement of the action or assertion of the Third Party Claim with respect to which the claim for indemnification pertains. Failure so to notify the Indemnifying Party shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of any liability that it may have under this Section 4.4 to

any Indemnified Party. If any such action shall be brought or a Third Party Claim shall be asserted against an Indemnified Party and it shall give notice to the Indemnifying Party of the commencement or assertion thereof, the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled, at its own expense, to participate therein and, to the extent that it shall wish, to assume the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party and, after notice from the Indemnifying Party to such Indemnified Party of its election to assume the defense thereof, the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable to such Indemnified Party under this Section 4.4 for any fees of other counsel or any other expense (unless such fees or expenses are incurred at the request of the Indemnifying Party), in each case subsequently incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with the defense thereof; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Indemnifying Party elects not to assume such defense or counsel for the Indemnified Parties advises that there are issues that raise conflicts of interest between the Indemnifying Party, on the one hand, and the Indemnified Parties, on the other hand, the Indemnified Parties may retain counsel satisfactory to them, and the Indemnifying Party shall pay all reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel for the Indemnified Parties promptly as statements therefor are received. If the Indemnifying Party receives notice of any action or Third Party Claim, it shall promptly notify the Indemnified Party as to whether, at the Indemnifying Party’s expense, it intends to control the defense thereof. If the Indemnifying Party defends an action, it shall have full control over the litigation, including settlement and compromise thereof, provided that no compromise or settlement thereof may be effected by the Indemnifying Party without the Indemnified Party’s prior written consent unless such compromise or settlement (i) includes the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such Indemnified Party of an unconditional and irrevocable release from all liability in respect of all claims relating to such Third Party Claim, (ii) does not include a statement as to or an admission of fault, guilt, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of an Indemnified Party, and (iii) does not include any limitations or restrictions on the operation of the Archipelago Exchange. If indemnity is not available with respect to any Indemnified Party, then the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party shall contribute to the amount payable in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect relative faults and benefits.

(f) A claim for indemnification under this Section 4.4 for any matter not involving a Third Party Claim may be asserted by notice (the “Claim Notice”) from an Indemnified Party to the Indemnifying Party. Such claim for indemnification stated in the Claim Notice may be disputed by return notice from the Indemnifying Party provided to the Indemnified Party not later than 30 days after receipt by the Indemnifying Party of the Claim Notice. Such return notice shall state the claim or claims in dispute and the reasons therefor in reasonable detail.

(g) The obligations of PCX and PCX Equities, on the one hand, and the Company, on the other hand, herein to indemnify and hold harmless any Indemnified Party shall survive indefinitely notwithstanding any termination of this Agreement or the Original Facility Services Agreement; provided, however, that the obligations of PCX and PCX Equities, on the one hand, and the Company, on the other hand, to indemnify and hold harmless any Indemnified Party pursuant to Section 4.4(b)(i) and Section 4.4(d)(i), respectively, shall terminate when the applicable representation or warranty terminates pursuant to Section 6.13 of this Agreement or Section 7.13 of the Contribution Agreement, as the case may be; and provided further, that such obligations to indemnify and hold harmless shall not terminate with respect to any item as to which the Indemnified Party to be indemnified shall have, before the expiration of the applicable period, previously made a claim by delivering a notice of such claim (in accordance with the terms of this Section 4.4) to the Indemnifying Party.

4.5. Cash Payment.

Each of PCX and PCX Equities covenants and agrees to use $25 million of the Cash Payment to restructure and terminate the PCX Equities Business and to establish the support and infrastructure of the Archipelago Exchange Business, provided that if the cost of such restructuring (the “Actual Restructuring Cost”) is less than $25 million, PCX and PCX Equities covenant and agree to use for the support of the self-regulatory functions of PCX the amount by which the Actual Restructuring Cost is less than $25 million (but not

to offset any charges for self-regulatory services provided pursuant to Section 4.9 hereof).

Upon the occurrence after the date of the Original Facility Services Agreement of any material losses in connection with such PCX Equities Business or upon the forecast by PCX of material losses by it in connection with the PCX Equities Business and only after the Company’s receipt of at least 30 days’ advance notice from PCX Equities, PCX Equities may commence closing the operating portion of such PCX Equities Business to minimize further losses unless the Company provides notice to PCX Equities within such 30-day period that the Company may be willing to absorb all or a portion of such losses, in which case PCX Equities and the Company shall be obligated to negotiate in good faith the terms of a loss sharing arrangement with respect to such PCX Equities Business during which time PCX Equities shall continue to conduct such PCX Equities Business. At the end of such 30-day period, in the absence of an agreed loss-sharing arrangement, PCX Equities may commence closing the operating portion of such PCX Equities Business.

The parties shall thereafter meet and discuss such dispute or disagreement in good faith, without obligation but with the objective of seeking an amicable resolution satisfactory to each of the parties. If such dispute or disagreement cannot be resolved after the good faith efforts of the applicable parties, then any such party may deliver notice to initiate arbitration in accordance with this Section 6.5; provided, however, that no party to this Agreement shall initiate arbitration in respect of such dispute or disagreement (but only with respect to such dispute or disagreement) until thirty (30) days have passed from the date that such written notice is first given unless such party believes, in good faith, that any delay in initiating such arbitration may cause it irreparable harm. Thereafter, any unresolved controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement, or the breach thereof, shall be settled by arbitration. Each of the parties agrees to follow the procedures, and abide by the requirements, set forth in this Section 6.5.

(c) The parties acknowledge that pre-arbitration discovery is generally more limited than and different from court proceedings and any party’s right to appeal or to seek modification of rulings by the arbitrators is strictly limited. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the parties intend that, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, punitive damages shall not be awarded in any

event pursuant to any arbitration conducted under this Agreement.

(d) Any arbitration shall be exclusively referred to and finally resolved by arbitration in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules (the “Rules”) of the American Arbitration Association (the “AAA”), which Rules are deemed to be incorporated by reference into this Section 6.5, to the extent such Rules are not inconsistent with the provisions of this Agreement or Delaware law. Any such arbitration shall be (i) brought in Washington, D.C., (ii) conducted in English, and (iii) to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, final, binding and conclusive upon the parties thereto. If the arbitrators deem it necessary or appropriate, the parties to any dispute may be permitted limited discovery based on the United States Federal Rules of Civil Procedure then in effect, subject to applicable law and such limitations as the arbitrators may impose consistent with the objective of expediting the resolution of the dispute; provided, however, that in any dispute submitted to arbitration hereunder that relates to whether any Person is required to furnish indemnity under this Agreement, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, discovery rights in accordance with the United States Federal Rules of Civil Procedure then in effect shall be applicable and available in all events. The parties agree that service of any notice in the course of any such arbitration at their respective addresses for notice and in the manner provided herein shall be valid and sufficient notice for purposes of such arbitration. Each of the parties agrees to be bound by such arbitration.

(e) In any arbitration pursuant to this Agreement, the award shall be rendered by a majority of the members of an arbitral tribunal consisting of three arbitrators, each of whom shall be an attorney experienced in and familiar with the federal securities laws and regulations related to the matters addressed in this Agreement. One arbitrator shall be appointed by PCX and one arbitrator shall be appointed by the Company, each within 30 days after the commencement of the arbitration. The third arbitrator shall be appointed by mutual agreement of the two arbitrators selected by PCX, on the one hand, and the Company, on the other hand, and shall be experienced in corporate contractual matters relating to transactions of the nature contemplated by this Agreement. The third arbitrator shall act as Chair of the arbitral tribunal. In

the event of the failure of said two arbitrators to agree as to the third arbitrator within 20 days after the appointment of the last of the two arbitrators, the third arbitrator shall be appointed by the AAA as administrator under the Rules within 15 days thereafter in accordance with its then existing Rules upon application by any of the parties to the arbitration. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if either PCX or the Company fails to appoint the arbitrators they are respectively required to appoint within the specified time period, such arbitrator and the third arbitrator shall be appointed by the AAA in accordance with the Rules. The AAA shall not appoint all three arbitrators unless both PCX, on the one hand, and the Company, on the other hand, fail to appoint an arbitrator within the specified time.

(f) The arbitral tribunal shall decide the matter as expeditiously as possible, however, no time limits shall be imposed. Awards, decisions and rulings of the arbitral tribunal shall be in writing, and shall set forth the reasons therefor and, to the extent applicable, the manner in which the amount of any damages or other monetary recovery was calculated. The arbitral tribunal may apportion the costs (including the fees of arbitrators, administrative fees and the parties’ attorneys’ fees and expenses) among the parties in such manner as shall be determined by the arbitral tribunal. Any monetary award shall be in U.S. dollars. Any award, decision or ruling of the arbitral tribunal shall be final and binding on the parties, and judgment upon such award, decision or ruling may be entered in any court, state or federal, having jurisdiction thereof.

(g) Nothing in this Section 6.5 shall be construed to preclude any party to this Agreement from seeking injunctive or other relief in a court of law and/or equity to enforce its rights under Section 4.7 or otherwise where absent such relief such party would suffer irreparable harm. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each party hereto consents specifically to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Delaware Chancery Court (and any court to which an appeal therefrom may be taken) for purposes of any action described in the immediately preceding sentence.

6.6. Binding Effect; Benefit. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon PCX, PCX Equities and the Company and their respective successors and permitted assigns. Nothing in this Agreement (other than

Section 4.4), expressed or implied, is intended to confer on any Person other than PCX, PCX Equities and the Company and their respective successors and permitted assigns, any rights, remedies, obligations or liabilities under or by reason of this Agreement.

6.7. Assignability. (a) This Agreement shall not be transferable or assignable, nor shall any obligations hereunder be delegable, by PCX or PCX Equities, without the prior written consent of the Company. Any such purported transfer, assignment or delegation without the prior written consent of the Company shall be null and void. Neither PCX nor PCX Equities shall consolidate with or merge into any other Person or convey, transfer or lease its properties and assets substantially as an entirety to any Person, and neither PCX nor PCX Equities shall permit any Person to consolidate with or merge into PCX or PCX Equities or convey, transfer or lease its properties and assets substantially as an entirety to PCX or PCX Equities, unless, in the case PCX or PCX Equities shall consolidate with or merge into another Person or convey, transfer or lease its properties and assets substantially as an entirety to any Person, the Person formed by such consolidation or into which PCX or PCX Equities is merged or the Person which acquires by conveyance or transfer, or which leases, the properties and assets of PCX or PCX Equities substantially as an entirety shall be a corporation, shall be organized or formed and validly existing under the laws of the United States of America, any State thereof or the District of Columbia and shall expressly assume in writing in a form reasonably satisfactory to the Company, the performance or observance of every covenant and other obligation or liability of PCX or PCX Equities, as the case may be, under this Agreement and each of the Transaction-Related Agreements and duly execute and deliver to the Company such other documents and instruments as the Company may reasonably request. Upon any consolidation of PCX or PCX Equities with, or the merger of PCX or PCX Equities into, any other Person or any conveyance, transfer or lease of the properties and assets of PCX or PCX Equities substantially as an entirety in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence, the successor Person formed by such consolidation or into which PCX or PCX Equities is merged or to which such conveyance, transfer or lease is made shall succeed to, and be substituted for, and shall assume all of the obligations and liabilities of, PCX or PCX Equities, as the case may be, with the same effect as if such Person had been named as PCX

or PCX Equities herein, provided that the foregoing shall not relieve PCX or PCX Equities of its obligations hereunder.

(b) Subject to the last sentence of this Section 6.7(b), this Agreement shall not be transferable or assignable, nor shall any obligations hereunder be delegable, by the Company without the prior written consent of PCX, and any such purported transfer, assignment or delegation without the prior written consent of PCX shall be null and void. The Company shall not consolidate with or merge into any other Person or convey, transfer or lease its properties and assets substantially as an entirety to any Person, and the Company shall not permit any Person to consolidate with or merge into the Company or convey, transfer or lease its properties and assets substantially as an entirety to the Company, unless, in the case the Company shall consolidate with or merge into another Person or convey, transfer or lease its properties and assets substantially as an entirety to any Person, the Person formed by such consolidation or into which the Company is merged or the Person which acquires by conveyance or transfer, or which leases, the properties and assets of the Company substantially as an entirety shall be a corporation or limited liability company, shall be organized or formed and validly existing under the laws of the United States of America, any State thereof or the District of Columbia and shall expressly assume in writing in a form reasonably satisfactory to PCX, the performance or observance of every covenant and other obligation or liability of the Company, as the case may be, under this Agreement and each of the Transaction-Related Agreements and duly execute and deliver to PCX such other documents and instruments as PCX may reasonably request. Upon any consolidation of the Company with, or the merger of the Company into, any other Person or any conveyance, transfer or lease of the properties and assets of the Company substantially as an entirety in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence, the successor Person formed by such consolidation or into which the Company is merged or to which such conveyance, transfer or lease is made shall succeed to, and be substituted for, and shall assume all of the obligations and liabilities of, the Company, as the case may be, with the same effect as if such Person had been named as the Company herein, provided that the foregoing shall not relieve the Company of its obligations hereunder. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 6.7(b), the Company may assign its

rights and obligations hereunder to any of its subsidiaries, provided that the provisions hereof shall be binding upon, inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by and against the Company’s assigns and provided, further, that any such assignment shall not relieve the Company of its obligations hereunder.

6.8. Amendment; Waiver. No provision of this Agreement may be amended or otherwise modified except by an instrument in writing executed by each of the parties hereto. The conditions to each of the parties’ obligations to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby are for the sole benefit of such other parties, as the case may be, and may be expressly waived in writing by such party in whole or in part to the extent permitted by applicable Law but such waiver or failure to insist upon strict compliance with such obligation shall not operate as a waiver of, or estoppel with respect to, any subsequent failure.

6.9. Severability. Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement is held to be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective only to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of this Agreement. If a provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid and the rest of this Agreement is not invalidated, each party shall use all reasonable efforts to effect as far as practicable and valid under applicable law a new provision to achieve the purpose of such invalidated provision.

6.10. Expenses. Without prejudice to its ability to recover for any losses, damages or liabilities relating to any dispute, controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement, each of PCX, PCX Equities and the Company shall pay its own expenses in connection with this Agreement, the Original Facility Services Agreement and any amendments, consents or waivers (whether or not the same become effective) under or in respect of this Agreement or the Original Facility Services Agreement.

6.11. Further Assurances. Each of PCX, PCX Equities and the Company will use its reasonable best efforts to perform and fulfill all obligations on its part to be performed and fulfilled under this Agreement, to the

end that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be effected substantially in accordance with its terms as soon as reasonably practicable. Each party hereto shall execute, acknowledge, deliver, file, notarize and register at its own expense all such further agreements, instruments, certificates, documents, information and assurances and perform such acts as the other parties hereto shall reasonably deem necessary or appropriate to effectuate the purposes of this Agreement, and promptly provide the other parties hereto with evidence of the foregoing reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the other parties hereto. Each party hereto shall cooperate in good faith with the other parties hereto and use its reasonable efforts to support the other parties hereto in connection with the ongoing operations of the Archipelago Exchange.
