Such purchase and sale is, and shall be, automatically effective, with neither Party being

required to execute any further document or do any other act or thing, except as requested by the other to more fully perfect said purchase and sale or as required by law. In addition, for no additional consideration of any kind, Seller hereby grants to Purchaser a worldwide, unconditional, irrevocable and non-exclusive license to use the Common Documentation and General Development Processes and Methods in connection with the Software.

Seller shall deliver to Purchaser concurrently herewith such specific assignments, bills of sale, endorsements, deeds and other good and sufficient instruments of conveyance and transfer, in form and substance satisfactory to Purchaser and its counsel, as shall be effective to vest in Purchaser title to all the Assets. Seller shall, simultaneously with such delivery pursuant to the preceding sentence, put Purchaser in actual possession and operating control of the Assets. Seller shall also deliver to Purchaser a resolution of the members of Seller (and a resolution of the members of RINA Holdings) specifically approving and ratifying this Agreement, including all terms and conditions hereof and all transactions set forth or contemplated herein.

2.3 Purchase Price. In consideration of the transfer to Purchaser of the Assets, Purchaser shall pay to Seller the Purchase Price, as follows: (a) $4,208,000 in cash on the “Closing Date” (as described and defined below); and (b) $792,000 payable in newly-issued common stock of Parent (the “TS Stock”), on the Closing Date, based upon the average last/closing price of the TS Stock for the 5-day period immediately preceding the Closing Date (i.e., number of shares issued will equal $792,000 divided by the average of said 5-day last/closing price). The Purchase Price shall then simultaneously be distributed by Seller to its members and by RINA Holdings to its members so that ultimately the six (6) individual beneficial owners of Seller receive their proportionate share (a “Member Share”) as follows: (x) James C. Goldcamp, Roman Marchevsky, Oleg L. Zamansky and Peter M. Carr shall receive their Member Shares in cash and (y) Terence M. Carr and Leo Zamansky shall each receive their Member Share eighty percent (80%) in cash and twenty percent (20%) in TS Stock.

The terms of the TS Stock shall be as follows: (i) the total number of shares of the TS Stock shall be issued on or promptly following the Closing Date; (ii) the TS Stock issued to Leo Zamansky (as evidenced by his Individual Certificate), shall be contractually restricted from sale as follows: 22% of his shares can be sold upon issuance (subject to any transfer restrictions resulting from applicable securities laws); an additional 28% (i.e. a total of 50% of the shares) may be sold after the first anniversary of the Closing Date, and the balance may be sold after the second anniversary (there are no events or circumstances that would cause any of these shares to revert to TradeStation Group, Inc. since the ability to sell depends only on the passage of time); (iii) Terence Carr’s TS Stock, as evidenced by his Individual Certificate, shall be contractually restricted from sale as follows: no shares may be sold until the first anniversary of the Closing Date, 1/3 may be sold after the first anniversary of the Closing Date, an additional 1/3 of the original amount may be sold after the second anniversary of the Closing Date, and the balance may be sold after the third anniversary of the Closing Date; provided, however, that if Terence Carr’s employment is terminated as a result of an “Employer Termination With Cause” or an “Employee

(a) keep secret and retain in the strictest confidence the Confidential Information; provided that, if Seller is required by order of a court or other governmental authority to disclose any Confidential Information, Seller shall immediately notify Purchaser so that Purchaser may attempt to obtain an appropriate protective order, and, in all events, Seller shall only disclose the portion of the Confidential Information required by such order to be disclosed.
