*** Non-Displayed Orders that execute in the Opening Process for Non-IEX-Listed Securities (the "Opening Process") will receive a Fee Code of X rather than I. Executions in the Opening Process that receive a Fee Code of XL are assessed the Displayed Match Fee.

**** Non-Displayed Orders that execute in the Opening Auction, or Closing Auction, or the Opening Process for Non-IEX-Listed Securities (the "Opening Process") will receive a Fee Code of O, or C, or X, respectively, rather than I. Orders that were Displayed Orders on the Continuous Book prior to the Opening Auction, or Closing Auction, or Opening Process that execute in such auction or the Opening Process will receive a Fee Code of L in addition to the above specified Fee Code. Executions in the Opening or Closing Auction that receive a Fee Code of OL or CL, respectively, are FREE.

Please note, to the extent a Member receives multiple Fee Codes on an execution, the lower fee shall apply. Therefore, executions that receive a Fee Code of SL are FREE.
