Xetra Circular 214/06 To the Xetra® Members and Vendors Recipients: General, Traders, Technical Contacts, System Administrators Deutsche Börse AG Neue Börsenstraße 1 60487 Frankfurt am Main Mailing address 60485 Frankfurt am Main Introduction of an additional 2 Mbit/s Bandwidth for Member Connections to the Xetra Network Update of Xetra Price List November 14, 2006 Phone +49-(0) 69-2 11-1 16 40 Fax +49-(0) 69-2 11-1 16 41 Internet deutsche-boerse.com Dear Sir or Madam, With effect from April 23, 2007, Deutsche Börse AG will offer an additional bandwidth option for member connections to the Xetra trading system. Xetra members will have the opportunity to select a 2 Mbit/s connection bandwidth in addition to the future standard connection bandwidth of 512 kbps for connecting to Xetra. Introduction of a broader connection bandwidth is associated with the implementation of two additional broadcast streams with un-netted order book and price information (unnetted “Public Inside Market Broadcast” and “Xetra All Trade Prices Broadcast“) within the scope of Xetra Release 8.0. Distribution of the new broadcast streams will continue to be performed via the existing VALUES API interface. Please refer to Xetra circular 142/06 from August 11, 2006 for further details. Provision of the new bandwidth and broadcast options as an additional service reflects the continuing automatization of trading and aims particularly at trading members with speedsensitive trading activities who wish to receive un-netted order book information. It is also geared towards large trading members who intend to connect to Xetra using a broader bandwidth because of their high broadcast data volume. Both offers may be combined according to customers’ individual needs: Selecting a broader bandwidth does not require subscribing to the un-netted broadcast stream and vice versa. However, as a result of the higher data volume to be transmitted when receiving un-netted order book information, we recommend that interested member firms choose a 2 Mbit/s bandwidth. Subscribing to unnetted data streams is free of charge for all Xetra members. Xetra Central Circular Management Tel.: +49-(0) 69-2 11-1 96 20, Fax: +49-(0) 69-2 11-1 44 91 E-Mail: [email protected], Internet: www.xetra.de Chairman of the Supervisory Board Kurt F. Viermetz Executive Board Reto Francioni (Chief Executive Officer) Matthias Ganz Mathias Hlubek Michael Kuhn Andreas Preuß Jeffrey Tessler Aktiengesellschaft mit Sitz in Frankfurt/Main HRB Nr. 32232 Amtsgericht Frankfurt/Main page 2 of 4 November 14, 2006 Unlike the uniform connection prices for the 512 kbps bandwidth, prices for the new 2 Mbit/s connection bandwidth will be divided into two price groups. Assignment to a price group will be dependent on the technical location of the trading member and will represent the costs associated with a particular member connection to the corresponding access point of the Xetra network. These costs vary according to the technical location. In general, member connections with an access point generate less costs than connection of members in other locations. Attached to this circular is an overview of the connection fess. Implementation Approach and Schedule Independent from the conversion of the Xetra network from 128 kbps to 512 kbps planned for December 4, 2006 (see Xetra circular 202/06 from November 3, 2006), we want to enable immediate placement of orders for 2 Mbit/s bandwidths. To guarantee implementation for all interested member firms until the production start of Xetra Release 8.0 on April 23, 2007, orders must be received by Deutsche Börse AG by December 22, 2006. Orders that reach us at a later date will be processed on a best effort basis for implementation on the next possible date. Please use the attached form to order your 2 Mbit/s bandwidth. Provision and installation of necessary hardware components as well as preparatory measures such as in-house cabling should be completed by mid-February 2007 to enable connection tests for the new communication lines no later than early April 2007. Implementation of communication lines that were ordered until December 22, 2006 will take place for all interested member firms on April 23, 2007, at the production start of Xetra Release 8.0. Should implementation on this date be technically impossible, Deutsche Börse reserves the right to delay the implementation date for 2 Mbit/s bandwidths and the un-netted broadcast stream or shift single member firms from the first group of members to be connected to a later implementation date. The purpose of this measure is to guarantee implementation for the remaining members on the target date. Connections for member firms which were shifted from the first group will be implemented on a best effort basis on the next possible starting date. At the same time we are also extending the Proximity Services offered by Deutsche Börse Systems AG and IXEurope by the option of a 2 Mbit/s connection to the Xetra network. With distribution of this circular the new connection alternative “2 Mbit/s bandwidth of a leased line“ will be added to the Xetra price list. Please find attached the amended version of the Xetra price list. page 3 of 4 November 14, 2006 Should you have further questions or require additional information, please contact our Customer Support Team at telephone +49-(0) 69-2 11-1 16 40 or fax +49-(0) 69-2 11-1 16 41.

The respectively current version of the price list forms an integral part of the Xetra Connection Agreement. 1. Basic Principles The Xetra price model is based on the three following basic principles: Consideration of the Xetra Members’ individual requirements Connection and transaction fees are charged independently. Therefore, the individual technical connection type to the trading system and the transaction fees are fully separated. In addition, further services are charged separately, independent of connection and transaction fees. Each Member can individually select a connection by choosing between connection components. As well, the price model which is to be applied to the transactions, can be selected. Number and value of executed orders as calculation basis for transaction fees The calculation of Xetra transaction fees is based on the executed order. The transaction fees are calculated based upon the value of executed orders, limited by a Cap and a Floor2. Same-day partial executions of a given order are not charged separately. 1 This includes Multi-Member MISS Service Providers 2 For covered warrants, no volume-based price is charged, see page 5 ® - Xetra is a registered trademark of Deutsche Börse AG As of: November 14, 2006 – errors, alterations and adjustments reserved. page 1/10 Price List as of November 14, 2006 for the Usage of the Xetraâ Electronic Trading System 2. Connection Prices Prices for the technical connection to the Xetra electronic trading system are differentiated according to the connection alternative selected by the trading participant. Connection prices are to be paid independent of the participant’s transaction volume. The total monthly connection fee is calculated by summing up the single prices for the chosen connection components. For connection with one leased line, an additional back-up connection is required in all cases. The back-up connection must have the same bandwidth as the principal line. Back-up connections in the form of @Xetra workstations are not possible. Cancellation of a connection component is possible to the end of a month. In case the FWB admission is returned by the member, this cancellation period does not apply.

Price Models and Minimum Transaction Fees Admission to trading on Xetra involves monthly minimum transaction fees. To accommodate the various trading volumes of the trading participants, three different price models are offered which combine several minimum transaction fees with related transaction prices for various transaction types. Table 2: Price models for the Xetra trading system Minimum transaction fee per month Premium on transaction prices "High Volume" EUR 20,000.- 0 percent "Medium Volume" EUR 5,000.- 5 percent "Low Volume" EUR 2,000.- 15 percent Price model The price model and the resulting minimum transaction fees can be selected according to the trading participant’s individual trading volumes. For trading participants generating a high transaction volume the "High Volume" price model is recommended. Within this price model, no premium on the transaction prices will be applied. In case of smaller trading volumes, the selection of the “Medium Volume” or “Low Volume” price model is appropriate. These price models include lower minimum transaction fees combined with premiums on the transaction fees. If the sum of the transaction prices3 including the premium for a given month lies below the respectively valid minimum transaction fee, the minimum transaction fee will be charged for that month. According to their individual trading volumes, participants may freely select and change the price model (High/Medium/Low Volume) whenever another model becomes more beneficial. A change in price model will become effective with 30 days’ notice upon notification of Deutsche Börse AG, on the first day of the following month. 3 Excluding Xetra BEST transaction fees in the Best Executor account (E), see page 6 ® - Xetra is a registered trademark of Deutsche Börse AG As of: November 14, 2006 – errors, alterations and adjustments reserved. page 3/10 Price List as of November 14, 2006 for the Usage of the Xetraâ Electronic Trading System 4. Variable Transaction Prices Transaction prices are charged for the execution of trades in the Xetra electronic trading system. The specifications below refer to the "High Volume" price model, with the exception of the uniform Xetra BEST transaction prices. For an overview please refer to the table on page 8. Standard transactions (equities)4 Transaction fees for standard transactions (equities) are calculated based upon the value of an order executed on the same day, with Floor and Cap applied per executed order5. Table 3: Transaction prices in the Xetra trading system: Standard transactions (equities) – for the "High Volume" price model Floor EUR 0.60 Range Bp 0.48 Cap EUR 18.00 Automated Trading Program (ATP) Xetra transaction fees will be reduced for orders which were generated as part of the Automated Trading Program according to the following rebate scheme: Table 4: ATP rebate scheme Cumulated monthly ATP volume per ATP member €0 €250,000,001 €1,000,000,001 €2,000,000,001 €3,000,000,001 €4,000,000,001 €6,000,000,001 €9,000,000,001 marginal ATP rebate (per volume level) €250,000,000 €1,000,000,000 €2,000,000,000 €3,000,000,000 €4,000.000,000 €6,000,000,000 €9,000,000,000 ¥ 0% 7% 14% 21% 28% 35% 42% 49% Example: An ATP member generates an ATP trading volume of €1.5bn in a month. Thus, the ATP rebate which is granted on the ATP transaction fees is calculated as follows: (€250.0bn * 0% + €750.0m * 7% + €500.0m * 14%) / €1.5bn = 8.17% 4 Transaction fees for standard transactions (equities) also apply to company issued warrants and subscription rights. 5 Partial executions of a given order, which are executed on the same day, are not charged separately . ® - Xetra is a registered trademark of Deutsche Börse AG As of: November 14, 2006 – errors, alterations and adjustments reserved. page 4/10 Price List as of November 14, 2006 for the Usage of the Xetraâ Electronic Trading System Introductory ATP Rebate: New ATP members and those who did not achieve an ATP rebate in the previous 24 months can be granted an additional introductory ATP rebate. To qualify for the additional introductory ATP rebate, these ATP members have to continually increase their ATP trading volume in the first three consecutive rebate-eligible months and generate an ATP trading volume in the third month which is at least twice as high as the ATP trading volume in the first month the ATP rebate was granted. In this case, the higher ATP rebate rate of the third month will also be applied retroactively to the two previous months. Example: A new ATP member generates the following ATP trading volumes: 1st rebate-eligible month: € 1,000 million à average rebate rate: 5.25 percent 2nd rebate-eligible month: € 1,500 million à average rebate rate: 8.17 percent 3rd rebate-eligible month: € 2,500 million à average rebate rate: 11.90 percent à Additional Introductory ATP Rebate for the first rebate-eligible month: 11.9 percent – 5.25 percent = 6.65 percent à Additional Introductory ATP Rebate for the second rebate-eligible month: 11.9 percent – 8.17 percent = 3.73 percent Covered Warrants For covered warrants (including certificates and reverse convertibles), a transaction price of EUR 0.70 will be charged per order. Block Crossing/Xetra XXL Executed Block Crossing orders are charged at a range of 2.0 basis points of the order value. No transaction fees are charged for all (executed) market and limit orders which lead to a call phase. Transaction fees are only applicable to (executed) orders entered during the respective call phase or to limit orders which do not lead to a call phase but become executable during the call phase.
