 [Letterhead of Edgar S. Woolard, Jr.] 
  
 April 6, 2005 
  
 Mr. Robert G. Britz 
 New York Stock Exchange, Inc. 
 11 Wall Street 
 New York, NY 10005 
  
 Dear Bob: 
  
 As you requested, this letter describes your benefit under the New York Stock Exchange, Inc. Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan (the
“SERP”). 
  
 Your benefit under the SERP will be determined in
accordance with the SERP document that is currently being amended and restated (to reflect design changes, including your benefits, and recent federal tax legislation). The amended SERP was approved by the Board of Directors of the NYSE on October
7, 2004. However, in determining your benefit under the terms of the SERP, the Board unanimously approved on December 2, 2004 a “minimum benefit” that you will be eligible to receive. 
  
 If you retire at age 55, your minimum benefit under the SERP, expressed as a single life
annuity will be $1,000,000 per year, payable monthly. If you retire after age 55, the minimum benefit amount will increase in accordance with the attached schedule up to $1,250,000 per year if you retire after you reach age 60. Unlike the regular
benefit formula under the SERP, your minimum benefit will not be reduced by your accrued retirement benefits under the Revised Retirement Plan for Eligible Employees of the New York Stock Exchange and Subsidiary Companies. However, it will be
reduced for Social Security payments at age 62. Upon your retirement from the Exchange, the present value of your SERP benefit will be paid in ten annual payments in accordance with the terms of the SERP, beginning as soon as practical after the
date of retirement. 
  
 The Board also took action on December 2, 2004 to make you
immediately vested in $950,000 per year of your SERP minimum benefit (you will become 100% vested under the SERP when you attain age 55). 

 Instead of the minimum SERP benefit described in this letter, you may be eligible to receive a regular SERP benefit
calculated under the revised SERP formula that was approved by the Board on October 7, 2004 if it is higher at the time of your retirement (as provided under the amended and restated SERP). If you die or are declared permanently disabled prior to
your retirement, your beneficiary will receive a benefit not less than the actuarial equivalent of your vested SERP benefit as of the date of your death. The present value of this benefit will be paid in ten annual payments in accordance with the
terms of the SERP, beginning as soon as practical after your death or permanent disability. 
  

	
	Sincerely,
	
	 /s/ Edgar S. Woolard Jr.

immediately vested in $900,000 per year of your SERP minimum benefit (you will become 100% vested under the SERP when you attain age 55). 

 Instead of the minimum SERP benefit described in this letter, you may be eligible to receive a regular SERP benefit
calculated under the revised SERP formula that was approved by the Board on October 7, 2004 if it is higher at the time of your retirement (as provided under the amended and restated SERP). If you die or are declared permanently disabled prior to

 Exhibit 10.11 
  
 SHAREHOLDERS AGREEMENT 
  
 AGREEMENT dated July 17, 1972, by and among the New York Stock Exchange, Inc. (NYSE), the American Stock Exchange, Inc. (AMEX), and Securities Industry
Automation Corporation (SIAC). 
  
 W I T N E S S E T H :

  
 SIAC was incorporated under the laws of the State of New York
on April 24, 1972 with an authorized capital of 20,000 common shares with a par value of $1.00 per share. NYSE and AMEX own the number of common shares of SIAC set forth below after their respective names: 
  

			
	NYSE	  	13,200 shares
	AMEX	  	6,600 shares

  
 NYSE and AMEX desire
to promote their respective and mutual interests and the interests of SIAC by sharing in the direction and control of SIAC. 
  
 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements herein contained, the parties agree as follows: 
  
 § 1. For all purposes of this agreement, unless the context otherwise
requires: 
  
 A. “Option Price” shall mean the price
determined in accordance with the provisions of § 7. 

 B. “Person” shall mean an individual, a corporation, a partnership, a trust, an unincorporated
organization or a government or any agency or political subdivision thereof. 
  
 C. “Pledge” shall include the creation of any lien, charge, security interest or other encumbrance. 
  
 D. “Principal” shall mean NYSE or AMEX, and shall also mean in respect of either of them, any successor organization formed by or resulting from
a consolidation or merger of such corporation or to which such corporation shall sell, lease or otherwise 

  

 2 

 
dispose of its properties as an entirety or substantially as an entirety. 
  
 E. “Sale” (including, with correlative meaning, “sell”) shall mean any assignment, transfer or other
disposition for value, by private sale or by public offering or by enforcement or foreclosure of any pledge. 
  
 F. “Shares” shall include any and all shares, interests, participations or other equivalents, however designated, of corporate shares of stock.

  
 G. “SIAC” shall mean Securities Industry Automation
Corporation, a New York corporation, one of the parties hereto, and shall also mean any successor organization formed by or resulting from a consolidation or merger of SIAC or to which SIAC shall sell, lease or otherwise dispose of its properties as
an entirety or substantially as an entirety and any subsidiary of SIAC or any such successor organization. 
  
 H. “Subject Shares” shall mean all shares of SIAC presently held or at any time hereafter acquired by either Principal from SIAC or otherwise,
and shall also mean any other shares and any other securities of SIAC of any kind whatsoever which may hereafter be issued as a dividend or distribution in respect of or in exchange for Subject Shares. 
  
 § 2. Neither Principal shall sell, transfer, assign, give, pledge, or
otherwise dispose of or encumber any Subject Shares or any interest therein (except by operation of law by reason of insolvency or other cause) unless it shall have obtained the written consent of the other Principal. 
  
 § 3. Notwithstanding § 2, a Principal who has not satisfied the
provisions of § 2 may sell any Subject Shares or any interest therein in accordance with the following provisions of this § 3. Such selling Principal shall first deliver to the other Principal a notice as to the following: (A) the
consideration to be received and the other material terms of the Transaction; (B) the amount and kind of Subject Shares which the selling Principal desires to sell; and (C) the name and address of the prospective Transferee. For the purposes of this
§ 3 and § 4 “Transferee” shall mean a bona fide purchaser and “Transaction” shall mean an arms’ 

  

 3 

 
length proposal from a person having both the funds and the legitimate intent to purchase the Subject Shares. In the event that the other Principal delivers,
pursuant to the provisions of § 4, a notice or notices to the selling Principal of an election or elections to purchase all of the Subject Shares which the selling Principal has stated it desires to sell, and if the Selling Principal has not
received payment pursuant to the terms hereof for such Subject Shares within 35 days from the date upon which the other Principal shall have received the selling Principal’s notice, the selling Principal may, within a period of 20 days from the
date of expiration of such 35-day period dispose of the Subject Shares referred to in its notice to the Transferee named pursuant to requirement (C) above at a price not less than the price stated in its notice. If such Subject Shares are not
disposed of within such period of 20 days, they shall again become subject to the restrictions of this agreement. 
  
 § 4. (A) In the event that a Principal receives a notice from a selling Principal pursuant to § 3, the non-selling Principal shall have the
option to purchase no less than all of the Subject Shares which the selling Principal has stated it desires to sell in the notice referred to above at the lower of the Option Price or the price stated in such notice as currently being offered to

  

 4 

 
the selling Principal by the Transferee; provided, however, that if part or all of the consideration stated in such notice is other than cash, the fair
market value of such consideration in cash may be substituted at the option of the purchaser. 
  
 (B) An option on the part of a Principal arising under Subsection A of this § 4 may be exercised by such Principal during a period of 30 days after the date upon which notice is received. In the event that the
non-selling Principal does not exercise the option to purchase all the Subject Shares referred to in the aforementioned notice, the selling Principal may dispose of the Subject Shares referred to in the notice in the manner set forth in the notice.
Any option arising under this § 4 may be exercised by a Principal by giving written notice to the selling Principal of election to make such purchase. Payment for the shares elected to be purchased pursuant to this § 4 shall be made by
certified check payable to the order of the selling Principal at the principal offices of SIAC against receipt of certificates representing the Subject Shares being purchased duly endorsed for transfer, or accompanied by a stock power or powers
executed in blank, together with revenue stamps in an amount sufficient to pay any and all stock transfer taxes which may be required in respect of the sale of the Subject Shares. Such payment and delivery shall be made within 5 days after 

  

 5 

 
the date of the notice of exercise. 
  
 § 5. SIAC shall not transfer any Subject Shares on its books (except Subject Shares to be transferred to a person taking by operation of law) unless
such transfer is to be made (A) to a Principal or (B) unless such transfer is to be made pursuant to a sale in compliance with § 3 and the Transferee files with SIAC evidence satisfactory to it that the Subject Shares to be transferred have
been acquired in compliance with § 3. 
  
 § 6. An
executed copy of this agreement shall be filed with the Secretary of SIAC, and SIAC shall cause to be placed on all certificates or other instruments representing Subject Shares a legend substantially as follows: 
  
 “The sale, assignment, transfer, pledge or other
disposition of this certificate and the shares represented hereby are subject to all of the terms, conditions and restrictions contained in a certain agreement dated as of July 17, 1972, among New York Stock Exchange, Inc., American Stock Exchange,
Inc., and Securities Industry Automation Corporation, as the same may from time to time be amended as therein provided, to all of which the holder hereof, by acceptance hereof, assents. A copy of said agreement (including any and all amendments), to
which reference is hereby made, is on file in the office of the Secretary of Securities Industry Automation Corporation.” 
  
 § 7. The Principals may, at any time, and from time to time, prepare a Certificate of Agreed Value, fixing an amount as the Option Price, which
Certificate when signed by the Principals and filed with the minutes of SIAC shall fix the Option Price for all purposes of this 

  

 6 

 
agreement at the figure set forth in such Certificate for a period of one year after the date thereof; provided, however, that such Option Price shall be
appropriately adjusted to reflect any stock dividend, stock split, recapitalization, or reorganization or similar event affecting the Subject Shares. In the event that more than one such Certificate is filed, only the most recently filed Certificate
shall be effective. 
  
 In the event that the Option Price is not
fixed pursuant to the foregoing procedure, it shall be determined by an appraisal committee (the “Committee”) which shall consist of two persons appointed by NYSE, two persons appointed by AMEX and one person appointed by such four
persons. If such four persons are unable to agree upon such one person, such person shall be selected in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association. The Committee shall, for the purposes of this agreement, set the Option Price
by determining the fair market value of the Subject Shares on the basis of the most recent audited and unaudited financial statements for SIAC which shall be available and such other factors as they shall deem appropriate and giving consideration to
SIAC’s book value, unrecorded tangible assets and intangible assets. Such Option Price shall be binding upon the Principals unless they shall thereafter establish a different Option Price pursuant to the Certificate of Agreed Value procedure
described above. 
  
 § 8. Each Principal agrees that it will
vote all of its Subject Shares in favor of the election of members 

  

 7 

 
of the board of directors of SIAC as follows: 
  
 A. For six directors selected by the Board of Directors of NYSE, provided that at least four of those six shall be selected by said Board of Directors
from among its members. 
  
 B. For three directors selected by the
Board of Governors of AMEX, provided that at least two of those three shall be selected by said Board of Governors from among its own members. 
  
 C. For three directors selected by the Securities Industry Association from among executives of organizations which are members of both the NYSE and AMEX
principally engaged in the management and operations areas. 
  
 D.
For one director who shall be selected by the Principals. It is contemplated that such director will serve as chief executive officer of SIAC. 
  
 Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither Principal shall be required so to vote unless it receives prior to the time of any such vote satisfactory evidence
of the selections made pursuant to clauses (A), (B), (C) and (D) above. A certified resolution of the Board of Directors of the appropriate organization shall be deemed satisfactory evidence for the purpose of this provision. 
  
 If a vacancy shall be caused in the Board of Directors by the death, physical
or mental disability, resignation or removal of a director, a person shall be selected (which selection shall be evidenced as provided 

  

 8 

 
in the preceding paragraph) to fill the vacancy pursuant to the same provision by which the director who died, became disabled, resigned or was removed was
selected. 
  
 NYSE agrees that in the event that at any time after
May 31, 1973 during the term of this agreement less than four of the six persons selected by it for election as directors of SIAC shall be members of the Board of Directors of NYSE, it will request the resignation as directors of SIAC of such of the
persons so selected in order to permit the election of such number of members of the NYSE Board of Directors to the SIAC Board of Directors as shall result in not less than four of the six persons selected by NYSE being members of the Board of
Directors of NYSE; and NYSE agrees that upon the occurrence of such resignation or resignations it will select from among the members of its Board of Directors such number of persons as shall be necessary to fill the vacancy or vacancies so created.

  
 AMEX agrees that in the event that at any time after April 30,
1973 during the term of this agreement less than two of the three persons selected by it for election as directors of SIAC shall be members of the Board of Governors of AMEX, it will request the resignations as directors of SIAC of such of the
persons so selected in order to permit the election of such number of members 

  

 9 

 
of the AMEX Board of Governors to the SIAC Board of Directors as shall result in not less than two of the three persons selected by AMEX being members of the
Board of Governors of AMEX; and AMEX agrees that upon the occurrence of such resignation or resignations it will select from among the members of its Board of Governors such number of persons as shall be necessary to fill the vacancy or vacancies so
created. 
  
 § 9. SIAC and each Principal agrees that the
business and affairs of SIAC shall be managed by its Board of Directors; provided, however, that any new project undertaken by SIAC or authorized by such Board which is projected to cost in excess of $500,000 or the continuation of any project
previously undertaken by SIAC the projected cost of which is revised so that the entire cost thereof shall exceed $500,000 or any project which would require a change in any rule or policy of either Principal or which would involve the provision of
services directly to a person or persons other than the Principals or a subsidiary of either Principal (other than any subsidiary of NYSE which is not directly or indirectly wholly-owned by NYSE to which the business of the Central Certificate
Service Division of Stock Clearing Corporation, a wholly-owned subsidiary of NYSE, may be transferred) shall not be implemented or 
  

 10 

 
continued unless and until it has also been consented to by the Principals; provided further that the Board of Directors of SIAC may nevertheless implement
any such project projected to cost in excess of $500,000 which does not receive the required consent of the Principals, if one of the Principals or any other person other than SIAC agrees to assume the entire expense of such project (in which event
the person assuming the expense shall have all proprietary rights in respect of any such project), and may implement any such project which would require a change in any rule or policy of either Principal if the only Principal whose rule or policy
is required to be changed consents thereto. 
  
 § 10. In the
event that NYSE at any time during the term of this agreement deems it advisable and beneficial for tax purposes in the interests of a majority of the members of each of NYSE and AMEX that NYSE file consolidated federal income tax returns with SIAC,
NYSE shall have the right to purchase from AMEX the minimum number of Subject Shares that legal counsel for NYSE shall deem it necessary for NYSE to own in order to permit such filing, such shares to be sold at the Option Price, and this agreement
shall be amended in such manner as legal counsel for NYSE shall deem necessary in order to permit such filing. 

  

 11 

 
In such event, NYSE shall deliver a written notice to AMEX stating the minimum number of Subject Shares that it must purchase and the amendments to this
agreement which shall be necessary in order to accomplish the objectives set forth in the preceding sentence which notice shall be accompanied by a copy of the opinion of legal counsel for NYSE referred to in such sentence. Payment for the shares
elected to be purchased pursuant to this § 10 shall be made by certified check payable to the order of AMEX at the principal offices of SIAC against receipt of certificates representing the Subject Shares being purchased, duly endorsed for
transfer, or accompanied by a stock power or powers executed in blank, together with revenue stamps in an amount sufficient to pay any and all stock transfer taxes which may be required in respect to the sale of the Subject Shares. Such payment and
delivery shall be made within 5 days after the date of the aforementioned notice. Notwithstanding the foregoing, AMEX shall not be required to sell any such shares to NYSE and shall not be required to accept any amendment to this agreement unless it
shall consent thereto, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. 
  
 § 11. All disputes, differences and controversies (other than those relating to the determination of the 

  

 12 

 
Option Price under § 7) arising under or in connection with this agreement or the breach or alleged breach hereof shall, at the election of either
Principal, be settled and finally determined by arbitration in the City of New York by a person mutually agreed upon and otherwise in accordance with the then existing rules of the American Arbitration Association, and in the absence of agreement as
to the arbitrator, by a person selected in accordance with such rules. The expenses of any such proceeding shall be shared equally by NYSE and AMEX, unless the arbitrator shall otherwise determine. 
  
 § 12. This agreement shall continue in force until both Principals shall
agree to its termination or until one of the Principals shall not own shares of SIAC having the right to cast at least 5% of the votes for the election of directors of SIAC. 
  
 § 13. Any notice or other communication to any of the parties hereto shall be given in writing and delivered, or sent
by registered mail in a postpaid envelope, to such party at this address set forth below, or at such other address as such party shall hereafter furnish to the other parties hereto in writing:
