		(B)	Borrower's
                                            subsidiary TradeStation Crypto Inc. (“TCI”) has been developing a crypto lending program
                                            (the “TCI
                                            Program”)
                                            and currently has certain crypto denominated loans outstanding with third-party borrower
                                            counterparties, and Lender and Borrower are willing to finance the TCI Program through loans
                                            made by Borrower to TCI (meaning that Lender will lend up to a specified amount of United
                                            States dollars to Borrower pursuant to this Agreement, which Borrower may then lend to TCI
                                            for the purpose of lending to third-party borrowers or for the purpose of purchasing cryptocurrency
                                            assets and then lending out those cryptocurrency assets to third-party borrowers).

 

		(C)	Lender
                                            and Borrower wish to amend and restate the Current Loan Agreement on the date first written
                                            above to change the maximum amount of each tranche of loans and extend the period of the
                                            Current Loan Agreement.

 

NOW
THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY AGREED as follows:

 

Article 1
(Terms of Loan)

 

When
a request for loan is received from Borrower, Lender shall lend out money ("Loan") subject to the terms and conditions herein.
Execution of this Agreement shall not be regarded as Lender's loan commitment to Borrower.

 

		1)	The
                                            Loan: Borrower shall request each Loan using the Loan Application in the form attached
                                            as Appendix 1 (Loan Application) or Appendix 2 (Rollover Loan Request), at least three business
                                            days prior to Funding Date. The Loan Application must be signed only by either the President
                                            or Chief Financial Officer of Borrower.

 

		2)	Use
                                            of Proceeds: Borrower may use the Principal Amount for meeting the general financial
                                            requirements ofits or its subsidiaries' ordinary business operations ("Tranche A Loans")
                                            and lending to TCI for financing the TCI Program ("Tranche B Loans"). If Lender
                                            makes a Tranche B Loan to Borrower, Lender may request Borrower to submit the document evidencing
                                            the use of proceeds of such Tranche B Loan, and promptly upon such request of Lender, Borrower
                                            shall submit it to Lender.

 

		3)	Maximum
                                            Amount: The aggregate outstanding balance of all Loans shall not exceed 180 million United
                                            States dollars; provided, however, that the aggregate outstanding balance of all Tranche
                                            B Loans shall not exceed 80 million United States dollars (each "Maximum Amount").

 

    1 

     

    

 

		4)	Interest:
                                            Interest, as simple and not as compounding interest ("Interest"), shall accrue
                                            on the Principal Amount from (and including) the loan drawdown date (when the Loan is funded
                                            by Lender) (the "Funding Date") to (and excluding) the loan maturity date ("Maturity
                                            Date"), and payment shall be made on each payment date for the Interest accrued by (and
                                            excluding) the relevant payment date. The interest rate will be determined through consultation
                                            between Borrower and Lender according to the risk profile of each Tranche, and calculated
                                            based on a 360-day year.

 

		5)	Payment:
                                            All payments of interest and principal shall be due and payable on the Maturity Date.
                                            As and when due and payable, Borrower shall pay down the Principal Amount and Interest by
                                            way of a bank transfer of immediately available funds in US dollars into the bank account
                                            designated in Paragraph 9 below. If there is a past due amount of either the Principal Amount
                                            or Interest (as the case may be, a "Past Due Amount"), the Interest shall be payable
                                            on such Past Due Amount accrued from and including the missed due date(s), but excluding
                                            the payment date, at an increased interest rate equal to 14% per annum, as damages and not
                                            as a penalty.

 

		6)	Loan
                                            Maturity Date: Maturity Date, stated in each Loan Application, shall be determined with
                                            Lender's approval. Maturity Date shall not exceed six months from Funding Date.

 

		7)	Minimum
                                            Amount: Each Loan (as initially funded, and as decreased by payment from time to time,
                                            a "Principal Amount") shall not be less than 100 thousand US dollars.

 

		8)	Period
                                            of Agreement: This Agreement shall be effective from the date of Agreement to March 31,
                                            2023. Termination of this Agreement shall not affect any party's rights and obligations under
                                            this Agreement or otherwise incurred prior to or on, and outstanding or otherwise unperformed
                                            or unpaid as of, the termination date (including all Obligations of Borrower). Loans which
                                            were utilized under the Current Loan Agreement and are outstanding as of the date hereof
                                            shall remain in full force and effect under this Agreement.

 

		9)	Repayment
                                            Account: Borrower shall pay the Interest, the Principal Amount, delay damages (if any)
                                            and any other amounts payable by Borrower to Lender by way of bank transfer into the following
                                            bank account or any other bank account provided by Lender to Borrower:

Article 2
(Change of Maximum Amount)

 

Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in Paragraph 3 and 8 of Article 1, Lender may reduce the Maximum Amount (by any amount, including to zero
dollars) when Lender deems such action necessary due to changes in economic or financial conditions of the market, to protect Lender's
rights regarding the Loan and other reasonable causes. If Lender reduces the Maximum Amount in its entirety, to zero dollars, this Agreement
shall be terminated; and Borrower shall make immediate repayment of all outstanding Principal and Interest. If Lender reduces a portion
of the Maximum Amount, Borrower shall immediate repay any Principal that exceeds such reduced Maximum Amount.

Article 3
(Treatment of Holidays)

 

If
a payment date of Interest or Principal Amount does not fall on a business day, the payment shall be made on the immediately preceding
business day. In this Agreement, the term "business day" shall mean any date (other than Saturdays and Sundays) on which commercial
banks are open in Tokyo, New York and London.

 

Article 4
(Prepayment)

 

		(1)	Borrower
                                            may not prepay all or part of the Principal Amount or the Interest unless it obtains the
                                            prior consent of Lender.

 

		(2)	If
                                            Borrower prepays all or part of the Principal Amount with the consent of Lender as described
                                            in the preceding Paragraph, Borrower shall pay all of the Interest accrued by the time of
                                            such prepayment on the prepaid Principal Amount at the same time. In this case, the Interest
                                            shall accrue on the prepaid Principal Amount from (and including) the Funding Date to (and
                                            excluding) the prepayment date.

 

		(3)	If
                                            all or part of the Principal Amount is prepaid without Lender's consent, or otherwise in
                                            violation of this Agreement, at Lender's election the interest rate on the remaining outstanding
                                            Principal Amount may be raised to apercentage so that Lender will receive the same amount
                                            of Interest Lender would have received had no such unauthorized prepayment occurred.

 

Article 5
(Acceleration)

 

(1)
If any of the following events have occurred with respect to Borrower, any and all obligations under this Agreement (the
 "Obligations") shall automatically become due and payable without Lender providing any prior notice or demand, and
Borrower shall immediately pay the Obligations (unless, solely in Lender's discretion, acceleration is waived and the payment terms

                                            under any such other agreement and such breach or default is not cured, if it is curable,
                                            within fifteen (15) business days;

 

		3)	If
                                            Borrower is subject to a petition for attachment (sashiosae), provisional attachment
                                            (kari-sashiosae), provisional disposition (kari-shobun) or auction (keibai),
                                            or a disposition for nonpayment of taxes or governmental fees (including any proceedings
                                            similar thereto commenced in the United States or any other country);

 

		4)	If
                                            Borrower has committed a sizeable treacherous act to the detriment of the Lender;

 

		5)	If
                                            Borrower fails to perform its payment obligations in an amount exceeding USD 100,000 (and
                                            such failure is not cured within seven (7) business days); or

 

		6)	If
                                            any event has occurred with respect to Borrower which makes Lender reasonably believe acceleration
                                            is necessary to preserve its claims against Borrower.

		(1)	Borrower
                                            shall submit to Lender Borrower's balance sheet and statement of operations for each quarterly

                                            and Borrower shall immediately notify Lender of any material adverse change in Borrower's
                                            financial condition or results of operations or the adequacy of its internal controls, or
                                            likelihood thereof, whether or not requested by Lender.

Re:
Clarification of that certain Second Amended and Restated Executive Agreement (the “Agreement”), dated October 19,
2021, by and between the Executive signing below (“Executive”) and TradeStation Group, Inc.

 

 

Capitalized
terms used herein which are not herein defined have the same meanings given them in the Agreement. Reference is made to the Agreement,
and to that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of November 4, 2021, by and among TradeStation Group, Inc., Quantum
FinTech Acquisition Corporation, and TS Merger Sub, Inc., as such agreement may be amended or otherwise modified from time to time
in accordance with its terms (the “Merger Agreement”), and the transactions contemplated thereby (the “Business
Combination”). The Business Combination is expected to be completed during the first half of the 2022 calendar year, and
it is uncertain whether such completion will occur before, on or after March 31, 2022 (at the time the Agreement was executed by
the parties, it was contemplated that the Business Combination would be completed on or prior to March 31, 2022).

 

For
the avoidance of doubt, and to clarify the operation of certain terms of the Agreement to give effect to the occurrence of the Business
Combination as a Qualifying Event (regardless of the precise date it occurs), as was contemplated by the parties at the time the Agreement
was executed:

 

1.   Business
Combination is a Qualifying Event Regardless of the Date it Occurs. The Business Combination constitutes a Qualifying Event for
all purposes of the Agreement, regardless of whether the Merger Agreement is consummated and the Business Combination is completed (and
TradeStation Group, Inc. becomes a listed company on NYSE or Nasdaq pursuant thereto) before, on or after March 31, 2022, and
shall continue to constitute a Qualifying Event for all purposes of the Agreement except only if, and unless and until, the Merger Agreement
is terminated in accordance with its terms on or before the Termination Date (as defined in the Merger Agreement and which, based on
such definition, is August 1, 2022) and therefore no Business Combination or listing pursuant to the Merger Agreement will occur.

 

2.   April 2021
LTI Award and Replacement Equity Award Grant. With respect to Section 5(b) of the Agreement, as long as the Merger
Agreement is consummated on or before the Termination Date and the Business Combination is completed (and TradeStation Group, Inc.
becomes a listed company on NYSE or Nasdaq pursuant thereto), the LTI Target Award with respect to the three-year Performance Cycle commencing
April 1, 2021 (the “April 2021 LTI Award”) shall, except only as set forth in the last sentence of
this paragraph, not be issued, and instead Executive shall receive in replacement thereof the portion of the Initial Equity
Awards consisting of the grant of RSUs and PSUs described in Section 6(b)(i), (ii) and (iii) of the Agreement (the “Replacement
Grant”). The Replacement Grant is, in all respects, in addition to, and separate from, the annual grant of equity-based
awards Executive is to be granted in the fiscal year ending March 31, 2023 (with measurement periods beginning April 1, 2022),
of a type or types, and in such amount or amounts, and pursuant to such vesting structures and other terms and conditions, as the Compensation
Committee shall approve. In the event the Merger Agreement is terminated on or before the Termination Date and therefore no Business
Combination or listing pursuant to the Merger Agreement will occur, reasonably promptly following such termination of the Merger Agreement
Executive shall be issued the April 2021 LTI Award.

 

    
		1  |	P a g e

     

    

 

3.   Computation
of FYE 2022 Annual Bonus. With respect to the Annual Bonus Target Award and annual bonus amount payable for the fiscal year ending
March 31, 2022 (the “FYE 2022 Annual Bonus”), regardless of whether the Qualifying Event consisting of
the Merger/Business Combination/NYSE listing occurs before, on or after March 31, 2022 it shall be calculated and paid pursuant
to clause (b) of the definition of Annual Bonus Target Award in the Agreement (i.e., using the lower percentage multiplier), provided
that if the Merger Agreement is terminated on or before the Termination Date and therefore no Business Combination or listing pursuant
to the Merger Agreement will occur, Executive will be entitled to a FYE 2022 Annual Bonus as would be calculated pursuant to clause (a) of
the definition of Annual Bonus Target Award in the Agreement (i.e., using the higher percentage multiplier), and, if the FYE 2022 Annual
Bonus has already been paid pursuant to clause (b) of the definition prior to termination of the Merger Agreement, then reasonably
promptly following such termination of the Merger Agreement Executive shall be paid any additional amount due after recalculating the
FYE 2022 Annual Bonus under clause (a) of the definition.

 

Except
as set forth in this clarification letter, there are no further clarifications or modifications of the Agreement, which continues in
full force and effect in accordance with its terms.
