Re: AMENDED AND RESTATED CLEARING AGREEMENT TERMINATION

 Dear Sirs; 
 Reference is made to
the letters dated May 7th, 2010 and May 20th, 2010 serving notice of termination of the Agreement (defined below) (hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Letters”). 

As stated in the Letters, the termination of the Amended and Restated Clearing Agreement dated 1st day of October 2003, as amended from time to time, between the
Euronext Market Undertakings, Banque Centrale de Compensation S.A. (trading as “Clearnet”, and with the commercial name (and herein referred to as) “LCH.Clearnet S.A.”) and LCH.Clearnet Group Limited (hereinafter referred
to as the “Agreement”) was to due to come into force on November 7th, 2012. 
 As explained during our meetings, in the context of the forthcoming merger with Deutsche
Börse announced on 15 February 2011, we consider that the extension of the Agreement would be in the best interest of both our groups and our respective stakeholders. 
 This letter agreement is to confirm the mutual understanding of NYSE Euronext, LCH Clearnet Group Limited and LCH.Clearnet S.A. in connection with the extension of the Agreement. Accordingly, this letter
agreement shall supersede the Letters, insofar as they relate to the subject matter herein described and agreed. 
 As per our discussions, NYSE
Euronext, LCH Clearnet S.A. and LCH.Clearnet Group Limited hereby agree to the following: 
 1/ Section 8.1 of the Agreement shall be
amended and shall forthwith read as follows: “This Agreement has an initial term of thirty months (the “Initial Term”) from the date when it takes effect under Article 7, unless terminated earlier pursuant to Article 8 of this
Agreement. Without 

 
prejudice to early termination rights provided for in Article 8 and subject to the below provisions, at the end of the Initial Term, this Agreement shall remain in force until December 31,
2013, except that the parties hereby agree that: 
  

	 	(i)	the parties’ rights and obligations under this Agreement in relation to Transactions in Derivatives will be terminated as of June 30, 2013, and

  

	 	(ii)	the parties’ rights and obligations under this Agreement in relation to Transactions in Securities will be terminated as of December 31, 2013.”

 2/ Section 8.4 of the Agreement shall be amended so that the following additional provision shall also apply as
part of Section 8.4 as a second paragraph: 
 “Where (a) any current shareholder of LCH.Clearnet Group Limited
holds, directly or indirectly, alone or in concert with other persons more than [ * ] of the share capital of LCH.Clearnet Group Limited [ * ], or (b) where any third party not currently shareholder of LCH.Clearnet Group Limited
becomes, directly or indirectly, shareholder of LCH.Clearnet Group Limited and holds directly or indirectly, alone or in concert with other persons more than [ * ] of the share capital of LCH.Clearnet Group Limited [ * ], or
(c) LCH.Clearnet Group Limited comes to hold directly or indirectly (in economic terms) less than [ * ] of the share capital of any of its Affiliates or [ * ] any of such Affiliates, or (d) LCH.Clearnet Group Limited or any
of its Affiliates becomes subject to any arrangement which results in the transfer, lease, management lease, joint-venture or similar transaction of all or a material part of its assets or activities representing more than [ * ] of the value
or revenues of such entity, the Euronext Market Undertakings may determine, in their sole discretion, to carry on or to terminate the Agreement and determine the effective termination date (save that such date may not be before
November 7th, 2012). Notwithstanding the provisions
of the first paragraph of this Section 8.4 these rights may be asserted independently of the first paragraph of this Section 8.4. 

For the purpose of the revised Section 8.4: 
  

	(i)	[ * ]; and 

  

	(ii)	“Affiliate” means an entity controlled directly or indirectly by LCH.Clearnet Group Limited. 

The other terms and conditions of the Agreement, as amended from time to time, remain unchanged. Also please note that capitalized terms used but not
defined in this letter agreement shall have the same meaning set forth in the Agreement. 
 If the foregoing reflects your understanding in
respect of the subject hereof, please countersign and return to us the enclosed copy of this letter agreement, whereupon this letter agreement shall constitute an effective agreement between us, binding upon each of us. 

 

	*	Certain confidential information has been omitted from this document, as indicated by the notation “[ * ]”. The omitted information has been filed on a
confidential basis with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to a request for confidential treatment. 

 This letter agreement shall be construed and interpreted in all respects in accordance with French law.

 Yours Faithfully,

 Exhibit 10.18 
 RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AGREEMENT 
 PURSUANT TO THE 

NYSE GROUP, INC. 2006 STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN 
 THIS AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”) is entered into as of the 1st day of June, 2006, by and between the NYSE Group, Inc. (the “Company”) and
                     (the “Participant”). Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Agreement shall have the meanings assigned to them
in the Plan. 

W I T N E S S E T 
H: 
 WHEREAS, the Company has adopted the NYSE Group, Inc. 2006 Stock Incentive Plan (the “Plan”),
which is currently administered by the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”); and 
 WHEREAS,
pursuant to Section 10.1 of the Plan, the Board may grant Restricted Stock Units to Non-Employee Directors under the Plan. 
 NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the mutual promises herein contained, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the
parties agree as follows: 
 1. Grant of Restricted Stock Units. Subject to the restrictions and other
conditions set forth herein, the Board has authorized this grant of             Restricted Stock Units (“RSUs”) to the Participant as of June 1, 2006 (the “Grant
Date”). 
 2. Vesting. The RSUs shall be 100% fully vested on the date of grant; provided, however,
that, RSUs shall not be distributed to the Participant other than in accordance with Section 3 below. 
 3.
Termination. Upon a Participant’s Termination, other than a Termination for Cause, all of the RSUs granted to a Participant hereunder shall be distributed to the Participant in shares of Common Stock as soon as practicable
following such Termination. Notwithstanding any contrary provision contained herein, in the event of a Participant’s Termination for Cause, all RSUs shall immediately be forfeited. 

4. Rights as a Stockholder. The Participant shall have no rights as a stockholder with respect to any shares of Common
Stock covered by any RSUs unless and until the Participant has become the holder of record of the shares, and, except as otherwise specifically provided for in the Plan and in Section 5 below, no adjustments shall be made for dividends in cash
or other property, distributions or other rights in respect of any such shares. 
 5. Dividends. Cash or
stock dividends (whether regular or extraordinary) declared and paid with respect to shares of Common Stock underlying the RSUs granted herein shall be treated as follows: (a) stock dividends shall be credited to a dividend book entry account
and distributed to the Participant upon Termination, as provided in Section 3 above and (b) cash dividends shall be distributed to the Participant as soon as practicable after the date such dividends are declared and paid. 

 6. Provisions of Plan Control. This Agreement is subject to all the terms,
conditions and provisions of the Plan, including, without limitation, the amendment provisions thereof, and to such rules, regulations and interpretations relating to the Plan as may be adopted by the Board (or a duly authorized committee
thereof) and as may be in effect from time to time. The Plan is incorporated herein by reference. Capitalized terms in this Agreement that are not otherwise defined shall have the same meaning as set forth in the Plan. If and to the extent that
this Agreement conflicts or is inconsistent with the terms, conditions and provisions of the Plan, the Plan shall control, and this Agreement shall be deemed to be modified accordingly. This Agreement contains the entire understanding of the parties
with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes any prior agreements between the Company and the Participant with respect to the subject matter hereof. 
 7. Amendment. To the extent applicable, the Board (or a duly authorized committee thereof) may at any time and from time to time amend, in whole or in part, any or all
of the provisions of this Agreement to comply with Section 409A of the Code and the regulations thereunder, including but not limited to, imposing a six month delay upon the distribution of RSUs to a Participant if, at the time of Termination,
such Participant is a “specified employee” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code, or any other applicable law and may also amend, suspend or terminate this Agreement subject to the terms of the Plan. 

8. Notices. Any notice or communication given hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly
given when delivered in person, or by United States mail, to the appropriate party at the address set forth below (or such other address as the party shall from time to time specify):

Agreement, including but not limited to any period during which any RSUs are outstanding.
