The sole purpose of this plan is to provide for the payment to employees of that portion of the annual “Employer Retirement Contribution” (as that term is defined under The Nasdaq Stock Market, Inc. 401(k) Savings Plan), if any, which cannot be provided to certain employees under The Nasdaq Stock Market, Inc. 401(k) Savings Plan on account of the restrictions and limitations imposed under Section 401(a)(17) and/or Section 415(c) of the Internal Revenue Code (or, at the discretion of The Nasdaq Stock Market, Inc., on account of the restrictions and limitations imposed under Section 401(a)(4) and/or Section 410(b) of the Internal Revenue Code).

The Nasdaq Supplemental Employer Retirement Contribution Plan does not provide for the payment to employees of that portion, if any, of any other types of employee or employer contributions (including, but not limited to, “Elective Contributions”, “Participant Contributions” or “Matching Contributions” (as those terms are defined under The Nasdaq Stock Market, Inc. 401(k) Savings Plan)) which cannot be provided under The Nasdaq Stock Market, Inc. 401(k) Savings Plan on account of the foregoing (or any other) limitations.

1.2. “Beneficiary” shall, with respect to any given Participant, mean the person, persons or trust or trusts designated by the Participant, by written notice to the Plan Administrator, to receive any payment provided for in the Plan in the event of the death of such Participant prior to the receipt thereof by such Participant.

If a Participant has made no such designation under the terms of this Plan, such Participant’s Beneficiary shall be the same as such person’s “Beneficiary” under the Savings Plan.

1.3. “Effective Date” shall mean July 1, 2007.

(a) excess, if any, of:

(i) the amount of the Employer Retirement Contribution which would have been made on behalf of such Employee under the Savings Plan for such Plan Year had Compensation for such Plan Year not been subject to the limitations of Section 401(a)(17) of the Code and had the Employer Retirement Contribution which could otherwise have been made to the Savings Plan on behalf of such person not been subject to the limitations of Section 415(c) of the Code (and in all events determined without regard to any limitations which might otherwise be imposed pursuant to the “nondiscrimination” and “coverage” provisions of Sections 401(a)(4) and 410(b), respectively, of the Code), over

(ii) the amount of the Employer Retirement Contribution actually made on behalf of such Employee under the Savings Plan, determined after the application of the provisions of paragraph (e) of Section 3.04A of the Savings Plan and paragraph (a) of Section 3.07 of the Savings Plan (and before the application of the provisions of paragraph (f) of Section 3.04A of the Savings Plan), and
