1. Reserved.
2. Fees apply to the originating and contra order.
3. Non-Priority Customer orders will be charged a taker fee of $1.25 per contract for trades executed against a Priority Customer. Priority Customer orders will be charged a taker fee of $1.00 per contract
for trades executed against a Priority Customer.
4. Rebate provided for contracts that are submitted to the Facilitation and Solicited Order Mechanisms that do not trade with their contra order except when those contracts trade against pre-existing
orders and quotes on the Exchange's order books. The applicable Fee for Responses to Crossing Orders is applied to any contracts for which a rebate is provided.
5. Market Makers that qualify for Market Maker Plus will not pay this fee if they meet the applicable tier thresholds set forth in the table below, and will instead be assessed the below fees or rebates
based on the applicable tier for which they qualify.
Market Makers are evaluated each trading day for the percentage of time spent on the National Best Bid or National Best Offer ("NBBO") for qualifying series that expire in two successive thirty calendar
day periods beginning on that trading day. A Market Maker Plus is a Market Maker who is on the NBBO a specified percentage of the time on average for the month based on daily performance in the qualifying series for each of the two successive periods described
above. Qualifying series are series trading between $0.03 and $3.00 (for options whose underlying stock's previous trading day's last sale price was less than or equal to $100) and between $0.10 and $3.00 (for options whose underlying stock's previous trading
day's last sale price was greater than $100) in premium. If a Market Maker would qualify for a different Market Maker Plus tier in each of the two successive periods described above, then the lower of the two Market Maker Plus tier fees or rebates shall apply
to all contracts.
Market Makers may enter quotes in a symbol using one or more unique, exchange assigned identifiers - i.e., badge/suffix combinations. Market Maker Plus status is calculated independently based on quotes
entered in a symbol for each of the Market Maker's badge/suffix combinations, and the highest tier achieved for any badge/suffix combination quoting that symbol applies to executions across all badge/suffix combinations that the member uses to trade in that
symbol. Only badge/suffix combinations quoting a minimum of ten trading days within the month will be used to determine whether the Market Maker Plus status has been met and the specific tier to be applied to the Market Maker's performance for that month.
A Market Maker's worst quoting day each month for each of the two successive periods described above, on a per symbol basis, will be excluded in calculating whether a Market Maker qualifies for this
fee or rebate. A Market Maker who qualifies for Market Maker Plus Tier 2 or higher in at least four of the previous six months will be eligible to receive a reduced Tier 2 incentive in a given month where the Market Maker does not qualify for Market Maker
Plus Tier 2 or higher. For Select Symbols, this rebate will be the applicable Tier 2 rebate reduced by $0.08 per contract. For Non-Select Symbols, this fee will be the Tier 2 fee increased by $0.08 per contract. For the avoidance of doubt, if a Market Maker
has achieved Tier 2 or higher in at least four of the previous six months, but does not achieve Tier 2 or higher in the current month, that Market Maker will receive the better of the reduced Tier 2 incentive or any applicable Tier 1 incentive the Market Maker
qualified for in the current month.
The Exchange may exclude from any member's monthly Market Maker Plus tier calculation any Unanticipated Event; provided that the Exchange will only remove the day for members that would have a lower
time at the NBBO for the specified series with the day included.

6. This rebate will be provided if the qualifying Market Maker trades against non-Priority Customer orders. Qualifying Market Makers that trade against Priority Customer orders will be charged a Market
Maker Plus Tier 3 fee of $0.10 per contract instead of receiving the Tier 3 rebate.
7. For all executions in regular NDX, XND and NQX orders, the applicable index options fees in Section 5 will apply.
8. This fee applies to Market Maker orders sent to the Exchange by Electronic Access Members.
9. The following symbols are linked for purposes of the linked maker rebate: (1) SPY and QQQ, and (2) SPY and IWM. Market Makers that qualify for Market Maker Plus Tiers 2-4 in note 5 above for executions
in SPY, QQQ, or IWM may be eligible for a linked maker rebate in a linked symbol in addition to the regular maker rebate for the applicable tier. Linked maker rebate applies to executions in SPY, QQQ, or IWM if the Market Maker does not achieve the applicable
tier in that symbol but achieves the tier (i.e., any of Market Maker Plus Tiers 2-4) for any badge/suffix combination in the other linked symbol, in which case the higher tier achieved applies to both symbols. If a Market Maker would qualify for a linked maker
rebate in SPY based on the tier achieved in QQQ and the tier achieved in IWM then the higher of the two linked maker rebates will be applied to SPY. The regular maker rebate will be provided in the symbol that qualifies the Market Maker for the higher tier
based on percentage of time at the NBBO.
10. There will be no fee charged or rebate provided when trading against non-Priority Customer Complex Orders that leg into the regular order book.
11. $0.25 per contract fee applies instead of the applicable fee or rebate when trading against Priority Customer Complex Orders that leg into the regular order book. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Market
Makers that qualify for Market Maker Plus in Select Symbols will not pay any fee nor receive any rebate in the symbols for which they qualify for Market Maker Plus when trading against Priority Customer Complex Orders that leg into the regular order book.
12. Market Makers that achieve Priority Customer Complex Tiers 7 - 9 in Section 4 will receive an additional $0.01 per contract rebate on executions in SPY, QQQ, or IWM that qualify for the linked maker
rebate program pursuant to note 9 above, in addition to the linked maker rebate tiers 2 - 4.
13. Other than for Priority Customer orders, this fee is $0.05 per contract for orders executed by Members that execute an ADV of 7,500 or more contracts in the PIM in a given month. Members that execute
an ADV of 12,500 or more contracts in the PIM will be charged $0.02 per contract. The discounted fees are applied retroactively to all eligible PIM volume in that month once the threshold has been reached.
14. Market Makers that qualify for Market Maker Plus Tiers 1-3 in note 5 above for executions in two out of the three symbols AMZN, META, or NVDA will be eligible for a maker rebate in the third symbol,
in addition to the maker rebate for the applicable tier in the other two symbols. The maker rebate will apply to executions in AMZN, META, or NVDA if the Market Maker does not achieve the applicable tier in that symbol but achieves the tier (i.e., any of Market
Maker Plus Tiers 1-3) for any badge/suffix combination in the other two symbols. If a Market Maker would qualify for different Market Maker Plus Tiers 1-3 in two symbols, then the lower of the two maker rebates will be applied to the third symbol (e.g., Market
Maker Plus qualification in Tier 1 and Tier 2 across two symbols would earn Market Maker Plus Tier 1 in the third symbol). If all three symbols separately achieve any of Market Maker Plus Tiers 1-3, the symbol that achieves the tier with the lowest maker rebate
will instead receive the same maker rebate as the symbol that achieved the next lowest tier.
15. Members that execute more than 0.10% of Regular Order Non-Select Symbol Priority Customer Volume (excluding Crossing Orders and Responses to Crossing Orders) calculated as a percentage of Customer
Total Consolidated Volume per day in a given month will receive an additional rebate of $0.18 per contract. Members that meet the foregoing volume requirement will also be eligible to receive the Section 4 Priority Customer Complex Order rebates in Select
Symbols and Non-Select Symbols that apply to one tier higher than the tier for which they currently qualify, except Members that already qualify for the highest Priority Customer Complex Tier in Section 4 will instead receive an additional rebate of $0.01
per contract in Select Symbols and Non-Select Symbols.
16. Fees for Crossing Orders applicable to Professional Customers for an order submitted as a Qualified Contingent Cross order and orders executed in the Exchange's Solicited Order Mechanism will be
$0.00 per contract.
17. Reserved.
18. There will be no fee charged or rebate provided in Non-Select Symbols when trading against Priority Customer Complex Orders that leg into the regular order book.
19. Electronic Access Members that utilize PIM to execute more than 0.75% of Priority Customer volume of Regular Orders, calculated as a percentage of Customer Total Consolidated Volume (“TCV”) per day
in a given month, will receive a PIM Break-Up Rebate of $0.26 per contract in Select Symbols and $0.60 per contract in Non-Select Symbols for Priority Customer Regular Orders under 250 contracts that are submitted to PIM and do not trade with their contra
order except when those contracts trade against unrelated quotes or orders.

and trades with quotes and orders on the regular order book. No Priority Customer Complex Order rebates will be provided in Select Symbols if any leg of the order that trades with interest on the regular order book is fifty (50) contracts or more. No Priority
Customer Complex Order rebates will be provided in Non-Select Symbols if any leg of the order trades with interest on the regular order book, irrespective of order size.
2. Rebate provided per contract per leg for contracts that are submitted to Facilitation and Solicitation Mechanisms that do not trade with their contra order except when those contracts trade against pre-existing orders and quotes on the Exchange's order
books. The applicable Fee for Responses to Crossing Orders is applied to any contracts for which a rebate is provided.
3. This Taker Fee is $0.38 per contract when executed against Priority Customer Complex Orders in Select Symbols entered by an Affiliated Member or Affiliated Entity, excluding Complex Orders executed in the Facilitation Mechanism, Solicited Order Mechanism,
and Price Improvement Mechanism.
4. No Priority Customer complex order rebates will be paid for orders in NDX, XND, NQX or MNX.
5. For all executions in complex XND and NQX orders, the XND and NQX index options fees in Section 5 will apply.

9. Other than for Priority Customer orders, the Complex Fee for PIM Orders is $0.05 per contract for orders executed by Members that execute an ADV of 7,500 or more contracts in the Complex PIM in a given month. Other than for Priority Customer orders, Members

14. Fees for Crossing Orders applicable to Professional Customers for an order submitted as a Qualified Contingent Cross order and orders executed in the Exchange's Solicited Order Mechanism will be $0.00 per contract.

volume for purposes of calculating Priority Customer Rebates. The Appointed OFP would receive the rebate associated with the qualifying volume tier based on aggregated volume.
17. Members that execute more than 0.10% of Regular Order Non-Select Symbol Priority Customer Volume (excluding Crossing Orders and Responses to Crossing Orders) calculated as a percentage of Customer Total Consolidated Volume per day in a given month will
be eligible to receive the Priority Customer Complex Order rebates in Select Symbols and Non-Select Symbols that apply to one tier higher than the tier for which they currently qualify, except Members that already qualify for the highest Priority Customer

Section 6. Other Options Fees and Rebates
A. Solicitation Rebate
» Members using the Qualified Contingent Cross (QCC) and/or other solicited orders executed in the Solicited Order Mechanism or Facilitation Mechanism will receive rebates for solicited orders executed in the Solicited Order or Facilitation Mechanisms (“Solicited
Orders”) according to the table below for each originating contract side in all symbols traded on the Exchange. Volume associated with QCC executions will be aggregated in calculating the Solicitation Rebate volume tiers in this section, but Members that execute
QCC volume will receive the QCC Rebate in Section 6.B below.
Once a Member reaches a certain volume threshold in combined QCC and Solicited Orders during a month, the Exchange will provide rebates to that Member for all of its Solicited Order traded contracts for that month. All eligible volume from affiliated Members
will be aggregated in determining the combined QCC and Solicited Order volume totals, provided there is at least 75% common ownership between the Members as reflected on each Member's Form BD, Schedule A. The applicable rebates will be applied on Solicited
Order traded contracts once the volume threshold is met. Members will receive the rebate for all Solicited Orders when at least one side of the Solicited Order is neither a Priority Customer nor Professional Customers. Solicited Orders between two Priority
Customers, two Professional Customers, or a Priority Customer and a Professional Customer will not receive any rebate. The volume threshold and corresponding rebates are as follows:
» Volume resulting from all QCC and Solicited Orders will be aggregated in determining the applicable volume tier.

* Members will receive an additional rebate of $0.01 per originating contract side on Solicited Orders that qualify for the Solicitation Rebate program if they achieve in a given month: (i) combined QCC and Solicited Order volume of more than 1,750,000 originating
contract sides and (ii) Priority Customer Complex Tier 6 or higher in Section 4.
& Members will receive an additional rebate of $0.01 per originating contract side on Solicited Orders that qualify for the Solicitation Rebate program if they achieve Priority Customer Complex Tier 2 or higher in a given month.
B. QCC Rebate
Members that submit QCC orders when at least one side of the QCC transaction is neither a Priority Customer nor Professional Customer will receive the below QCC Rebates. QCC Rebates will be paid to each originating contract side (“QCC Agency Side”) in all
symbols traded on the Exchange.
QCC Rebate 1
When only one side of the QCC transaction is neither a Priority Customer nor Professional Customer, the Member will receive a $0.15 per contract rebate for each QCC Agency Side.
Members will receive an additional rebate of $0.01 per contract for each QCC Agency Side that qualifies for QCC Rebate 1 if they achieve Priority Customer Complex Tier 2 or higher in a given month.
QCC Rebate 2
When both sides of the QCC transaction are not any combination of Priority Customers and/or Professional Customers, the Member will receive a $0.23 per contract rebate for each QCC Agency Side.
Members will receive an additional rebate of $0.04 per contract for each QCC Agency Side that qualifies for QCC Rebate 2 if they achieve Priority Customer Complex Tier 2 or higher in a given month.
C. PIM and Facilitation Rebate
» Electronic Access Members that utilize PIM to execute more than 0.75% of Priority Customer volume in Regular Orders, calculated as a percentage of Customer Total Consolidated Volume (“TCV”) per day in a given month, will receive an $0.11 per contract rebate
for Priority Customer Regular Orders under 250 contracts that are submitted to PIM. The rebate would be paid to the Agency Order as that term is defined within Options 3, Section 13. Eligible volume from Affiliated Members will be aggregated in calculating
the percentage. Provided this rebate is higher than other rebates within Options 7, Section 6C, this rebate will be paid in lieu of other rebates within this Section C. In the event a Crossing Transaction consists of two Priority Customer Orders, the Exchange
would not pay this rebate.
» Members using the Facilitation Mechanism or PIM for unsolicited Crossing Orders, whereby the contra-side party of the Crossing Order (1) is either Firm Proprietary or Broker-Dealer and (2) has total affiliated Average Daily Volume ("ADV") of 250,000 or
more contracts, are eligible to earn the following rebates during a given month. In determining total affiliated ADV, eligible volume from Affiliated Members will be aggregated.

*Once a Member reaches or exceeds the volume threshold to qualify for a $0.03 per originating contract side rebate during a given month, then the Member will receive the $0.03 rebate for all of its originating contract sides that qualify for the PIM and
Facilitation Rebate during that month, including for the Member's first qualifying 0-199,999 originating contract sides.
Members that qualify for the PIM and Facilitation rebates on their unsolicited Crossing Orders, as set forth in the above paragraph, may also earn either or both of the following additional rebates:
1. Members that achieve combined Qualified Contingent Cross ("QCC") and Solicitation Originating Contracts Sides of more than 1,000,000 during a given month can earn an additional rebate of ($0.01) per
originating contract side on their unsolicited Crossing Orders that qualify for the PIM and Facilitation Rebate program.
2. Members that achieve Priority Customer Complex Order ADV of between 100,000-224,999 contracts can earn an additional rebate of ($0.01) per originating contract side on all of their unsolicited Crossing
Orders that qualify for the PIM and Facilitation Rebate program; however, this additional rebate will be ($0.02) per originating contract on all unsolicited Crossing Orders that qualify for the PIM and Facilitation Rebate Program to the extent that Members
achieve Priority Customer Complex Order ADV of 225,000 or more contracts. For avoidance of doubt, if a Member has 200,000 originating contract sides in a month that qualify for a $0.03 rebate under the PIM and Facilitation Rebate program and the Member also
achieves Priority Customer Complex Order ADV of 225,000 contracts in that same month, then the Member will receive an additional $0.02 rebate on all of its 200,000 originating contract sides that qualify for the PIM and Facilitation Rebate program, for a total
rebate on such originating contract sides of $0.05.

The Sales Value Fee is assessed by the Exchange to each Member for sales on the Exchange with respect to which the Exchange is obligated to pay a fee to the Commission under Section 31 of the Exchange Act. To the extent that there may be any excess monies
collected under this Rule, the Exchange may retain those monies to help fund its general operating expenses. The sales transactions to which the fee applies are sales of options (other than options on a security index) and the sales of securities resulting
from the exercise of physical-delivery options. The fee is collected indirectly from Members through their clearing firms by the Clearing Corporation on behalf of Nasdaq ISE with respect to options sales and options exercises. The Sales Value Fee is equal
to (a) the Section 31 fee rate multiplied by (b) the Member's aggregate dollar amount of covered sales resulting from options transactions occurring on the Exchange during any computational period.
