 Borse Dubai Limited PO Box 9700 
 Dubai, UAE 
 Attn: Sayanta Basu 
 Ladies and Gentlemen: 
 The purpose of this letter is to set
forth certain binding agreements between The Nasdaq Stock Market, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Nasdaq”), and Borse Dubai Limited, a Dubai company (“Borse Dubai”), (i) in respect of the proposed transaction (the “OMX
Transaction”) regarding OMX AB (publ), a public corporation organized under the laws of Sweden (“OMX”), and (ii) in respect of the proposed transaction (the “DIFX Transaction”) regarding the Dubai International
Financial Exchange (“DIFX”), a Dubai company. Nasdaq and Borse Dubai are sometimes referred to as the “parties” in this letter, and the OMX Transaction and the DIFX Transaction are collectively referred to as the
“Transaction” in this letter. 
 1. Terms of the Transaction. The basic terms of the OMX Transaction are set forth in Annex
A (the “OMX Term Sheet”), and the basic terms of the DIFX Transaction are set forth in Annex B (the “DIFX Term Sheet”). The OMX Term Sheet and the DIFX Term Sheet are collectively referred to as the “Term Sheet” in this
letter. 
 2. Negotiation of Final Definitive Agreements. Each of the parties agree promptly to negotiate reasonably and in good faith
final definitive agreements regarding the Transaction (“Definitive Agreements”) consistent with the terms set forth in the Term Sheet, which shall include representations, warranties, covenants, conditions and indemnities customary in
public company transactions of these types and consistent with the tenor of the agreements entered into by Nasdaq with Silver Lake Partners and Hellman & Friedman in April 2005. Although the parties intend to negotiate and enter into the
Definitive Agreements, the parties acknowledge and agree that this letter (including the Term Sheet attached hereto) contains all of the essential terms of the Transaction and, in the event that the parties do not enter into Definitive Agreements
for any reason or no reason, this letter is a binding agreement between the parties hereto and shall provide the terms, and form the basis, for consummation of the Transaction contemplated hereby and in the Term Sheet. 







 3. Binding Effect. This letter is intended to create a binding agreement and shall be the legally
binding and enforceable obligations of the parties in consideration of their undertakings herein and the time and expense associated with each party’s review of the proposed Transaction. This letter will be governed by and construed under the
laws of the State of New York without regard to conflicts of laws principles; provided, however, that the DIFX Term Sheet shall be governed by and construed under the laws as set forth in the DIFX Term Sheet. This letter may be amended
or modified only by a writing executed by each parties and constitutes the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof. 
 4. Miscellaneous Provisions. 
 (a) This letter agreement and the transaction agreements to be entered
into between Nasdaq and Borse Dubai are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without regard to conflict of law principles thereof. Each of Nasdaq and Borse Dubai agree to submit to the exclusive
jurisdiction of the State of New York (and with respect to claims in which the exclusive subject matter jurisdiction of such claims is federal, any federal district court located in the Borough of Manhattan, City of New York). 
 (b) This letter agreement (including the annexes hereto) constitutes the entire agreement, and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings, both
written and oral, between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereto and is not intended to confer upon any person other than the parties hereto any rights or remedies. 
 (c) This letter agreement may be executed in separate counterparts, each of which is deemed to be an original and all of which taken together constitute
one and the same instrument. 
 (d) No failure or delay on the part of any party in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder will
operate as a waiver thereof, nor will any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. Any provision of this letter agreement may be amended or waived if,
but only if, such amendment or waiver is in writing and signed by the parties hereto. 
 (e) The invalidity or unenforceability of any
provisions of this letter agreement in any jurisdiction will not affect the validity, legality or enforceability of the remainder of this letter agreement in such jurisdiction or the validity, legality or enforceability of this letter agreement,
including any such provision, in any other jurisdiction, it being intended that all rights and obligations of the parties hereunder will be enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law. 







 (f) Each of the parties has participated in the drafting and negotiation of this letter agreement. If an
ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this letter agreement must be construed as if it is drafted by all the parties, and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any party by virtue of authorship of
any of the provisions of this letter agreement. 
 (g) The parties hereto agree that if any of the provisions of this letter agreement were
not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached, irreparable damage would occur, no adequate remedy at law would exist and damages would be difficult to determine, and that the parties will be entitled to specific
performance of the terms hereof and immediate injunctive relief, without the necessity of proving the inadequacy of money damages as a remedy, in addition to any other remedy at law or equity. 
 (h) Each party has all necessary corporate and other power and authority to execute and deliver this letter agreement and to consummate the transactions
contemplated hereby. The execution and delivery of this letter agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby by each party have been duly authorized by all necessary action on the part of each party, and, assuming the due
authorization, execution and delivery by the other party, constitutes a valid and binding obligation of the party, enforceable against the party in accordance with its terms, except to the extent that its enforceability may be subject to applicable
bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and by equitable principles. 
 (i) Any notice required to be given hereunder shall be sufficient if in writing, and sent by facsimile transmission (provided that any notice received by facsimile transmission or otherwise at the addressee’s
location on any business day after 5:00 p.m. (addressee’s local time) shall be deemed to have been received at 9:00 a.m. (addressee’s local time) on the next business day), by reliable overnight delivery service (with proof of service),

	 Term
	  	 Description

	Transaction Overview	  	 The Nasdaq Stock Market, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Nasdaq”), and Borse Dubai Limited, a Dubai company (“Borse
Dubai”), agree that each of their existing tender offers for the outstanding shares of OMX AB (publ), a public corporation organized under the laws of Sweden (“OMX”) shall remain in place but may not be opened for
acceptances until the Termination Date (defined below), provided, however, that the Borse Dubai offer shall be opened for acceptances after the Trigger Date (defined below) as provided below.
  
 If the Trigger Date occurs, as soon as reasonably practicable, Borse Dubai will: (1) accept tenders
of OMX shares in its offer, (2) exercise the Borse Dubai call options then (3) sell all of its OMX shares to Nasdaq in consideration for 60,561,515 Nasdaq shares and SEK 11,376,547,722 in cash (cash portion subject to pro ration as described below).

  
 Nasdaq and OMX will enter into a supplement to the May 25 transaction agreement,
which will reduce OMX’s representation on the combined Nasdaq board to 4 members and on the board committees to 25%.

		
	 Governance of Borse
 Dubai and Nasdaq
 Tender Offers
	  	 The “Trigger Date” shall occur upon satisfaction of the Conditions Precedent set forth on Exhibit 1 (other than the satisfaction of those
conditions which by their nature are to be satisfied at closing of the sale of the OMX shares by Borse Dubai to Nasdaq).
  
 Upon the Termination Date, the agreements and covenants set forth herein shall terminate and be of no further force and effect. The “Termination Date” shall be
the earlier of:
  
 •     February 15, 2008, or
  
 •     The date upon which any of the Conditions Precedent set forth on Exhibit 1 become unable to be satisfied.
  
 Provided, that if on February 15, 2008 the Trigger Date has occurred but the Borse Dubai offer for
the outstanding shares of OMX has not closed, the Termination Date shall be automatically extended to April 15, 2008.
  
 Borse Dubai and Nasdaq each agree that, until the Termination Date (as the Termination Date may be extended), it:
  
 •     Will not amend, waive or otherwise modify the terms of its tender offer for the outstanding
shares of OMX without the other party’s prior consent, provided, however, that Nasdaq and Borse Dubai may take any actions in accordance with the terms of this agreement to prevent their offers from lapsing (but not open them for
acceptances);
  
 •     Each party’s tender offer documentation is subject to mutual approval, not to be unreasonably withheld.

 Annex A—Execution Copy 
  


			
		  	 Upon the Trigger Date, Nasdaq will withdraw its offer.
  
 Upon request of Nasdaq, Borse Dubai will extend the Borse Dubai offer for the outstanding shares of OMX through one or more subsequent offering periods in accordance with
applicable law. Nasdaq shall pay Borse Dubai’s reasonable documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with any such request (but Borse Dubai shall remain obligated to pay the tender offer consideration as set forth
herein).
  
 After the closing of the Nasdaq/Borse Dubai transaction, Borse Dubai shall be
prohibited from launching a tender offer for OMX shares, acquiring any OMX shares, proposing or seeking to effect a merger or change of control of OMX, from seeking board representatives or removal of directors, from making public statements or
otherwise directly or indirectly seeking to control the management or policies of OMX and from soliciting proxies or otherwise acting in concert with others regarding any of the foregoing.
  
 Until the earlier of the consummation of the Nasdaq/Borse Dubai transaction or the Termination Date,
neither party shall make any statement that is derogatory, disparaging or damaging to, that alleges improper conduct by, or that is reasonably likely or intended to cause damage to the other party or to impede or delay their attempts to acquire OMX.


		
	OMX Share Purchase – Nasdaq/Borse Dubai Transaction Agreement	  	 Borse Dubai and Nasdaq agree that:
  
 •     Borse Dubai will sell to Nasdaq all OMX shares (a) owned by it, (b) acquired in the Borse
Dubai tender offer and (c) acquired pursuant to the Borse Dubai call options as promptly as practicable following the exercise of the Borse Dubai call options (with multiple closings if necessary due to any subsequent offer periods). If all of the
outstanding shares of OMX are acquired by Borse Dubai and sold to Nasdaq, Nasdaq will deliver consideration to Borse Dubai consisting of (i) SEK 11,376,547,722 in cash (subject to pro ration as described below), (ii) 42,565,979 Nasdaq shares to be
acquired by Borse Dubai (based on 152,374,849 as of August 31, 2007, and subject to adjustment based on the number of fully-diluted shares at closing so that Borse Dubai acquires 19.99% of such shares) and (iii) the remaining Nasdaq shares included
in the consideration (currently 17,995,536) to be deposited in a trust as described below.
  
 •     At the option of Borse Dubai, the foregoing transactions may be implemented through one or
more agreements (which need not apply the overall cash and stock consideration in the same proportions). In addition, with respect to clause (iii) in


  

 2 









 Annex A—Execution Copy 
  


			
		  	 the bullet above, Borse Dubai may acquire all of the stock consideration and immediately thereafter contribute such shares to the
trust.
  
 •     The
cash consideration to be paid by Nasdaq to Borse Dubai will be subject to reduction based upon the actual number of OMX shares acquired by Nasdaq; for purposes of calculating the amount of the cash reduction, any OMX shares not acquired by Nasdaq
would be valued at SEK 230.
  
 •     Borse Dubai will be responsible to satisfy all cash consideration requirements in the Borse Dubai tender offer.

		
	Borse Dubai Call Options	  	On the second business day after the closing of the offer by Borse Dubai for the OMX shares, Borse Dubai or its affiliates will exercise all of the call options in accordance with their terms.

		
	Regulatory Approvals/ Nasdaq Shareholder Approval	  	 Borse Dubai and Nasdaq will seek required regulatory approvals on the following basis:
  
 •     Borse Dubai and Nasdaq
will use reasonable best efforts to obtain applicable regulatory and shareholder approvals required for the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby prior to the Termination Date, provided, however, that Borse Dubai will
not be required to accept any condition imposed by any regulator that Borse Dubai, in its reasonable judgment, deems materially adverse to its investment in Nasdaq, including any condition that would prevent Borse Dubai from obtaining equity
accounting treatment for its investment in Nasdaq, but after Borse Dubai takes into account possible alternative arrangements that the parties agree to negotiate in good faith.
  
 •     Nasdaq’s board
will, by resolution, approve “step up” voting rights for Borse Dubai, provided, however, that the effectiveness of any such exemption shall be subject to future SEC approval, which Nasdaq shall seek (1) at the discretion of
the Nasdaq’s board or (2) if and to the extent that it seeks such approval for any other party. Counsel to Nasdaq shall give Borse Dubai an opinion that such resolution constitutes all action of the board necessary under the charter to approve
such action and that upon SEC approval (assuming no other approvals are necessary), such cap will be lifted. Nasdaq shall provide a representation that no other approvals are necessary.

		
	Nasdaq Share Trust	  	 The trust shall be organized under the laws of the Cayman Islands, will have BidCo as the beneficiary and will be governed by the following terms:

  
 •     The trust
will dispose of its shares within 4 years, but in no event will the trust be required to dispose of shares if the net price to the trust is less than the sum of:


  

 3 









 Annex A—Execution Copy 
  


			
		  	 1.      the implied price per Nightingale share paid by Dover, which implied
price per Nightingale shall be determined based on the spot rate as show on the <FXC> screen on Bloomberg as of the close of business in New York City on the day before the closing of the Nightingale/Dover transaction (for reference, based on
an exchange rate of SEK/$ 6.6319, the implied price per share equals US$ 40.76), plus
  
 2.      reasonable documented out of pocket expenses of the trust, plus
  
 3.      a pro rata cost of
capital of 6% annually.
  
 •     Shares held in the trust will be voted pro rata with other shareholders, provided, however, if the trust and Borse Dubai are considered one person (and limited to an aggregate 5% vote) Borse
Dubai shall control all 5% of such vote.
  
 •     A prominent independent trustee mutually agreed upon by the parties will be appointed to manage the trust.
  
 •     The trust’s registration rights and transfer restrictions will match those received by
the Hellman & Friedman entities (“H&F”) and the Silver Lake Partners entities (“SLP”) in the 2005 Nasdaq/Instinet transaction, including Section 2.6 (with respect to any future rights granted) and provided that the
trust’s registration rights will be subject to H&F’s and SLP’s priority in piggyback registrations as set forth in Section 2.3 thereof.
  
 •     The trust arrangements may be modified as required to obtain regulatory approvals,
provided, however, that Borse Dubai will not be required to accept any condition imposed by any regulator that Borse Dubai, in its reasonable judgment, deems materially adverse to its investment in Nasdaq, including any condition that
would prevent Borse Dubai from obtaining equity accounting treatment for its investment in Nasdaq, but after Borse Dubai takes into account possible alternative arrangements that the parties agree to negotiate in good faith.
  
 •     If Borse Dubai’s
interest in Nasdaq falls below 19.99%, then the trust shall, at Borse Dubai’s request, transfer shares to Borse Dubai to increase as needed Borse Dubai’s stake to 19.99%.

		
	Agreement to list on the Dubai International Financial Exchange (“DIFX”)	  	After the closing, Nasdaq will apply for a secondary listing on DIFX.
		
	Nasdaq Shares/ Governance	  	 Borse Dubai and Nasdaq agree that, upon closing of the Nasdaq/Borse Dubai transaction:
  
 •     As long as Borse Dubai
maintains at least one-half of its


  

 4 









 Annex A—Execution Copy 
  


			
		  	 initial 19.99% investment, Borse Dubai will be entitled to nominate two directors for election to the combined public company
board of directors and one Borse Dubai director shall be nominated to sit on the following committees: Audit, Executive, Finance, Management Compensation and Nominating, including any future committees serving any of the functions currently served
by such committees, subject to applicable law, regulation or stock exchange listing standard. In addition, to the extent that OMX remains a public listed company, Nasdaq and Borse Dubai agree to negotiate in good faith and take all reasonable
actions to arrange for and cause Borse Dubai’s representation on the OMX board. The parties agree that the Borse Dubai nominees will not be provided any information regarding Nasdaq’s intentions with respect to London Stock Exchange plc.

  
 •     As long
as Borse Dubai maintains at least 25% of its initial 19.99% investment, Borse Dubai will be entitled to nominate one director for election to the combined public company board of directors, but will have no right to nominate members to any
committees of the board.
  
 •     Borse Dubai’s registration rights and transfer restrictions will match those received by H&F and SLP in the 2005 Nadsaq/Instinet transaction, including Section 2.6 (with respect to any future
rights granted) and provided that Borse Dubai’s registration rights will be subject to H&F’s and SLP’s priority in piggyback registrations as set forth in Section 2.3 thereof.
  
 •     If Nasdaq completes a
share buy-back during the next 18 months, then in order to reduce its fully-diluted ownership to 19.99%, Borse Dubai shall, at its option, participate in the buy-back (pro rata based on the total number of shares acquired) and/or contribute the
requisite number of shares to the trust.
  
 •     Borse Dubai is restricted from transferring the initial 19.99% of Nasdaq shares until one year after the closing of the Nasdaq/Borse Dubai transaction, provided, however, that following the
closing of the Nasdaq/Borse Dubai transactions, Borse Dubai shall be permitted to cause the (1) shares of Nasdaq directly or indirectly held by it and (2) its interests in BD Stockholm AB, a corporation organized under the laws of Sweden
(“BidCo”), to be transferred in one or more transactions to an affiliate of Borse Dubai.
  
 •     Borse Dubai shall have preemptive rights for issuances of common stock (including any
securities convertible or exchangeable into common stock) by Nasdaq for capital raising purposes, if and to the extent necessary to maintain its 19.99% interest.

 Annex A—Execution Copy 
  


			
		  	 •     Borse Dubai will be restricted from acquiring Nasdaq shares in excess
of 19.99% on a fully-diluted basis, from proposing or seeking to effect a merger or change of control of Nasdaq, from seeking additional board representatives or removal of directors, from making public statements or otherwise directly or indirectly
seeking to control the management or policies of the combined company or its subsidiaries and from soliciting proxies or otherwise acting in concert with others regarding any of the foregoing.
  
 •     The provisions of the
prior bullet shall cease to apply upon the earliest to occur of the following: (1) Borse Dubai owning less that 10% of Nasdaq’s outstanding common stock, (2) Nasdaq entering into a definitive agreement with respect to a change of control
of Nasdaq, (3) directors nominated by Borse Dubai are not elected by shareholders at two consecutive meetings of shareholders for the election of the board of directors, (4) a change of control of Nasdaq, (5) 10 years from the date hereof or (6)
Nasdaq holds less than 25% of its original interest in DIFX, excluding any shares sold pursuant to the drag-along, change of control or forced public offering sale provisions of Exhibit B. In addition, if any third-party makes a tender or exchange
offer that is not recommended against by the board then (after 10 business days) Borse Dubai may tender into the offer. Upon termination of the standstill, Borse Dubai shall have no rights to nominate any directors to the combined public company
board and any directors then in place shall resign upon the request of the board.

		
	 Governing
 Law/Jurisdiction
	  	 This term sheet and the transaction agreements to be entered into between Nasdaq and Borse Dubai are governed by and construed in accordance with
the laws of the State of New York, without regard to conflict of law principles thereof.

	Tag-Along Rights	  	NASDAQ shall have customary tag-along rights proportional to its ownership in connection with sales of shares by Borse Dubai representing at least 25% of the outstanding capital stock of the

		  	The term “Change of Control” has the meaning set out in the N/D Investment Stockholders Agreement adapted to exclude transfers of securities of the Company by NASDAQ, Borse Dubai or
any of their respective affiliates to any of their respective affiliates; provided, however, that any sale of securities solely through a widely-distributed public offering shall not itself be deemed to effect a Change of Control.
		
	Put Right	  	 NASDAQ shall have the right, upon the occurrence of a “Triggering Event”, to sell all of its holdings to the Company at the Put Price.

actions taken or failures to act by the Company (other than any such actions or failures to act that were specifically approved by representatives of NASDAQ) that, by virtue of NASDAQ’s equity position in the Company, results in a violation by
NASDAQ or any of its subsidiaries of any applicable law or regulation which has a material impact on the NASDAQ group as a whole, which violation cannot be cured within 90 days or if it can be cured, it has not been so cured within such 90 day
period.
  
 The “Put Price” shall be the fair market value of NASDAQ’s
holdings in the Company as of the date of the put notice without taking account of minority or liquidity discount, determined in accordance with the procedures set forth in this paragraph. The key assumptions for fair market value will be arms
length sale between willing buyer and seller, carrying on business as a going concern, shares capable of being sold free of restriction, shares valued as a rateable proportion of all issued shares and taking into account any other factors the
internationally recognized appraisers reasonably believe should be taken into account. At such time of determination of fair market value, each of NASDAQ and the Company shall select an internationally recognized independent financial institution.
The appraisers so selected shall, within 30 days after their selection reach a determination of the fair market value of NASDAQ’s holdings in the Company. If such determinations vary by 10% or more of the higher determination, the two
appraisers shall promptly designate a third internationally recognized appraiser who is independent of the parties who shall within 30 days after its selection reach a determination of the fair market value of NASDAQ’s holdings in the Company.
The fair market value of NASDAQ’s holdings in the Company shall be equal to the average of the two closest determinations of the three appraisers, or, if the difference between the highest and middle determination is equal to the difference
between the middle and lowest determination, then the fair market value will be equal to the middle determination.

and its licensees from time to time and should be no more onerous than those applicable to NASDAQ. The Company shall provide access to and/or representative samples of any materials not contemplated by the brand guidelines that are created by or on
behalf of the Company and that bear the Marks for NASDAQ’s prior written approval, not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed.
  
 The Company shall not use the Marks in any manner that would or would reasonably be likely to adversely impact the goodwill of the Marks. NASDAQ shall have the right to
conduct an audit of Company’s use of the Marks at least once per year on reasonable prior written notice to the Company and at NASDAQ’s cost and expense, to monitor Company’s compliance with the foregoing standards. The Company shall
cooperate with all reasonable requests of NASDAQ in relation thereto.

third preceding paragraph, NASDAQ’s right to terminate shall be pursuant only to the following provisions:
  
 NASDAQ’s right to (x) rescind the Company’s rights to the Marks and (y) transfer its shares in the Company under clause (viii) in the section entitled “Transfer Rights” shall be effective only 15
days after the Company receives such written notice of rescission (or intention to transfer (as appropriate)) from NASDAQ; provided that such notice may be delivered only if actions of the Company or its affiliates have










			
		  	 materially and adversely impacted the goodwill of the Marks (or the Company is in material breach of material applicable law or regulations as set
out in clause (viii) under “Transfer Rights”) and provided further that, if the Company contends in a writing delivered to NASDAQ prior to the expiration of such 15 day period that neither the Company nor any of its affiliates has
materially and adversely impacted the goodwill of the Marks (or that it disagrees with NASDAQ’s contention as to the material compliance failure, as applicable) or that the Company has taken adequate corrective actions with respect to any
actions it has taken that may have materially and adversely impacted the goodwill of the Marks (or in connection with the material compliance failure under clause (viii) in the section entitled “Transfer Rights” (as applicable )), no
attempted rescission of the Company’s rights to the Marks shall become effective (or transfer of shares by virtue of a material compliance failure to comply with its laws and regulations shall be permitted (as applicable) unless it shall have
been finally determined through an arbitration in London (the “Dispute Resolution Procedure”) that NASDAQ is entitled to rescind the Company’s rights to the Marks because the Company (or any of its affiliates) took actions that
materially and adversely impacted the goodwill of the Marks or the Company was in material breach of material applicable law or regulation as set out in clause (viii) under “Transfer Rights” and the Company failed to take adequate
corrective actions with respect thereto within 45 days after receipt of notice of the same from NASDAQ.
  
 If the Company has negative net income for 7 consecutive annual periods commencing 1 January 2008, NASDAQ may rescind the Company’s use of the Marks.
