Core Rights The deal protects certain core rights pertaining to trading in NYBOT's agricultural products: sugar, coffee, cotton, cocoa, and orange juice. The trading floor for these core products will remain open. Existing members will retain trading rights and receive a 20% discount on exchange and clearing fees for both open outcry and electronic proprietary trading. Brokers handling customer business will be protected by retaining a $1.00 per side premium in contract pricing for electronic trading fees, unless a competing exchange launches a look-a-like contract. Even in a competitive situation, electronic fees may not be less than open-outcry fees. ICE may not list an electronically traded cash settled identical contract unless a competing exchange does so first. Members will be permitted to confer and sell trading rights and to lease their memberships, essentially as allowed under current rules. Financial and non-financial eligibility criteria for membership and floor trading will remain as under current rules. ICE will provide necessary financial and technical support of floor operations and maintenance of an appropriate disaster recovery site. The trading floor may be closed if open outcry volumes for any core agricultural product (or in the aggregate for all products) fall below 50% of the 2005 levels for a 90 day period. Until 2013, any proposed amendment to bylaws or rules concerning Core Rights must be approved first by three of the four public directors, who will be selected by NYBOT prior to closing and serve for at least four years. Such change will also require a vote of two-thirds of the nine-member NYBOT Board, of which six members will initially be appointed by NYBOT.

Transaction Benefits ICE is offering a premium purchase price. 65x trailing twelve months after-tax earnings (through July 2006) 24% above last seat sale 430% above the seat value as of July, 2004 Members are given flexibility to retain or reduce their investment in the futures industry. While the overall deal calls for 38% of the purchase consideration in cash and 62% in ICE stock, members may elect to receive more or less stock than this split. Final allocations will depend on the members' overall preferences. The deal is tax efficient. It is expected that the stock portion of the consideration will not be taxable until it is sold. Members are receiving shares in a well managed, fast growing, successful company. Revenues have grown at 78.6% on a year over year basis as of June 2006 Gross margin is in excess of 70% Net income has grown at 77.4% on a year over year basis as of June 2006 Share price has increased 65% since IPO in November of 2005 There is no lock-up. Members may sell all of their ICE shares immediately upon closing the deal (expected in early 2007) or retain 30% of the shares (18.6% of sale consideration) in order to retain member privileges.

Transaction Benefits (Cont'd) Deal permits NYBOT to partner with a leading electronic exchange to initiate side-by- side trading and develop additional electronic products. This avoids NYBOT having to develop and finance its own electronic platform and reduces the risk that another exchange will introduce competition with NYBOT's core agricultural products. ICE has a successful history of developing derivative contracts in energy. They will encourage the introduction of electronic derivatives in NYBOT's core agricultural products (e.g. origin differential contracts in coffee) which may lead to significant arbitrage opportunities. The deal is contingent upon, among other things, (i) regulatory approval, (ii) approval by the IRS of the tax free status of the stock portion of the consideration and the value of the residual trading right, and (iii) approval by two-thirds of NYBOT's members who vote.

Certain Transaction Risks ICE's business is highly dependent on the energy sector. Future profits will likely be correlated to energy trading. ICE has built its business by taking market share from NYMEX. This may be more difficult going forward, as NYMEX has introduced side-by-side trading and launched electronic trading on CME's Globex platform. ICE's share price is expensive, trading at 33.3x 2006 net income and 18.4x 2006 EBITDA. The entire sector is priced expensively. ICE has been a public company for less than twelve months. During this time its share price has experienced significant volatility. It is currently trading approximately 65% above the level of its IPO. The deal provides for a fixed number of shares to be distributed to NYBOT members. These may not be sold until the deal closes in early 2007. The value of the shares could decline during that period. Electronic products may draw customer business away from existing contracts. In an extreme situation, if open outcry volume falls below 50% of 2005 levels, ICE may choose to close the floor. There is a possibility that the deal will not receive regulatory or IRS approval. ICE insiders have a substantive number of shares which are subject to "lock-up" restrictions, some of which expire between now and the expected closing date. Future sales of these shares could adversely impact ICE's share price. If Members elect to sell shares quickly, this may also lead to downward pressure on ICE's share price.

Why will open outcry survive? NYBOT has competed successfully against the all-electronic LIFFE for years. The floor community provides valuable liquidity to NYBOT markets and service to trade users. The NYBOT markets are different from many electronic markets, in part due to the requirements of physical delivery in NYBOT's markets. While there is a cost to operating the floor, proprietary floor trading volume is also a major source of fee revenue for the Exchange. Core rights provisions provide significant protections to the floor. No exchange has yet developed a successful platform for commodity options trading.
