(d) Investment Intention. GA-GTCO represents that (i) it is acquiring shares of Bats Common Stock pursuant to this Agreement
pursuant to an exemption from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), for its own account solely for investment with no present intention or plan to distribute such shares of Bats Common
Stock to any person nor with a view to or for sale in connection with any distribution thereof, and (ii) it 

  
 -5- 

 
will not sell or otherwise dispose of the shares of Bats Common Stock acquired pursuant to this Agreement, except in compliance with the registration requirements or exemption provisions of the
Securities Act and any other applicable securities laws. GA-GTCO, by reason of its knowledge and experience in financial and business matters in general and investments in particular, is capable of evaluating the risks and merits of acquiring shares
of Bats Common Stock and of making an informed investment decision. GA-GTCO is relying on its own business judgment and knowledge concerning the business, financial condition and prospects of Bats, and the advice of GA-GTCO’s own counsel, tax
advisors and other advisors, in making the decision to acquire the shares of Bats Common Stock. GA-GTCO has not relied on KCG, any of its subsidiaries or any of their respective officers, directors, employees, advisors or consultants in making any

a complete loss of GA-GTCO’s investment in the Bats Common Stock. 
 (f) Subsequent Transfer. GA-GTCO acknowledges (i) that
the Bats Common Stock that GA-GTCO acquires pursuant to this Agreement is being sold in a transaction that is not registered under the Securities Act or any applicable state securities laws and, therefore,
cannot be sold unless subsequently registered under the Securities Act or any applicable state securities laws or an exemption from such registration is available, (ii) that such shares of Bats Common Stock are “restricted securities”
and (iii) that transfers of such shares of Bats Common Stock will be restricted by the GA-GTCO Lock-Up Letter and may be restricted by applicable securities laws. 

(g) Reliance on Exemptions. GA-GTCO understands that the shares of Bats Common Stock that
GA-GTCO acquires pursuant to this Agreement are being offered and sold to GA-GTCO in reliance on specific exemptions from the registration requirements of United States federal and state securities laws and
regulations and that KCG is relying upon the truth and accuracy of, and GA-GTCO’s compliance with, the representations, warranties, agreements, acknowledgments and understandings of GA-GTCO set forth herein in order to determine the
availability of such exemptions and the eligibility of GA-GTCO to acquire the shares of Bats Common Stock being sold to GA-GTCO pursuant to this Agreement. 

Section 5. Indenture. KCG shall not, and shall cause its subsidiaries not to, use any Additional Capacity to repurchase any equity
security of KCG prior to the Subsequent Closing Date or take any other action (including amending the Indenture) if any such repurchase or action would cause the inability of the condition set forth in Section 6(a)(iii) to be satisfied on the
