    Pursuant to Section 11A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 
(``Act'') \1\ and Rule 608 thereunder \2\, notice is hereby given that, 
on December 3, 2013, The NASDAQ OMX Group, on behalf of NASDAQ OMX BX, 
Inc. (``BX''), NASDAQ OMX PHLX LLC (``Phlx''), and the Nasdaq Stock 
Market LLC (``Nasdaq''), and the following parties to the National 
Market System Plan: BATS Exchange, Inc., BATS Y-Exchange, Inc., Chicago 
Board Options Exchange, Incorporated, Chicago Stock Exchange, Inc., 
EDGA Exchange, Inc., EDGX Exchange, Inc., Financial Industry Regulatory 
Authority, Inc., National Stock Exchange, Inc., New York Stock Exchange 
LLC, NYSE MKT LLC, NYSE Arca, Inc., (collectively with BX, Phlx, and 
Nasdaq, the ``Participants''), filed with the Securities and Exchange 
Commission (the ``Commission'') a proposal to amend the Plan to Address 
Extraordinary Market Volatility (``Plan'').\3\ The proposal represents 
the sixth amendment to the Plan (``Sixth Amendment''), and reflects 
changes unanimously approved by the Participants. The Sixth Amendment 
to the Plan proposes to make technical changes to the implementation 
schedule of the Plan. A copy of the Plan, as proposed to be amended, is 
attached as Exhibit A hereto. The Commission is publishing this notice 
to solicit comments from interested persons on the Sixth Amendment to 
the Plan.

General Counsel, The NASDAQ OMX Group, to Elizabeth M. Murphy,

Letter'').
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

I. Rule 608(a) of Regulation NMS

A. Purpose of the Plan

    The Participants filed the Plan in order to create a market-wide 
limit up-limit down mechanism that is intended to address extraordinary 
market volatility in ``NMS Stocks,'' as defined in Rule 600(b)(47) of 
Regulation NMS under the Act.\4\ The Plan sets forth procedures that 
provide for market-wide limit up-limit down requirements that would be 
designed to prevent trades in individual NMS Stocks from occurring 
outside of the specified Price Bands.\5\ These limit up-limit down 
requirements would be coupled with Trading Pauses, as defined in 
Section I(Y) of the Plan, to accommodate more fundamental price moves 
(as opposed to erroneous trades or momentary gaps in liquidity).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ 17 CFR 242.600(b)(47). See also Section I(H) of the Plan.
    \5\ See Section V of the Plan.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    As set forth in Section V of the Plan, the price bands would 
consist of a Lower Price Band and an Upper Price Band for each NMS 
Stock.\6\ The price bands would be calculated by the Securities 
Information Processors (``SIPs'' or ``Processors'') responsible for 
consolidation of information for an NMS Stock pursuant to Rule 603(b) 
of

[[Page 2205]]

Regulation NMS under the Act.\7\ Those price bands would be based on a 
Reference Price \8\ for each NMS Stock that equals the arithmetic mean 
price of Eligible Reported Transactions for the NMS Stock over the 
immediately preceding five-minute period. The price bands for an NMS 
Stock would be calculated by applying the Percentage Parameter for such 
NMS Stock to the Reference Price, with the Lower Price Band being a 
Percentage Parameter \9\ below the Reference Price, and the Upper Price 
Band being a Percentage Parameter above the Reference Price. Between 
9:30 a.m. and 9:45 a.m. ET and 3:35 p.m. and 4:00 p.m. ET, the price 
bands would be calculated by applying double the Percentage Parameters.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ Capitalized terms used herein but not otherwise defined 
shall have the meaning ascribed to such terms in the Plan. See 
Exhibit A, infra.
    \7\ 17 CFR 242.603(b). The Plan refers to this entity as the 
Processor.
    \8\ See Section I(T) of the Plan.
    \9\ As initially proposed by the Participants, the Percentage 
Parameters for Tier 1 NMS Stocks (i.e., stocks in the S&P 500 Index 
or Russell 1000 Index and certain ETPs) with a Reference Price of 
$1.00 or more would be five percent and less than $1.00 would be the 
lesser of (a) $0.15 or (b) 75 percent. The Percentage Parameters for 
Tier 2 NMS Stocks (i.e., all NMS Stocks other than those in Tier 1) 
with a Reference Price of $1.00 or more would be 10 percent and less 
than $1.00 would be the lesser of (a) $0.15 or (b) 75 percent. The 
Percentage Parameters for a Tier 2 NMS Stock that is a leveraged ETP 
would be the applicable Percentage Parameter set forth above 
multiplied by the leverage ratio of such product. On May 24, 2012, 
the Participants amended the Plan to create a 20% price band for 
Tier 1 and Tier 2 stocks with a Reference Price of $0.75 or more and 
up to and including $3.00. The Percentage Parameter for stocks with 
a Reference Price below $0.75 would be the lesser of (a) $0.15 or 
(b) 75 percent. See Letter from Janet M. McGinness, Senior Vice 
President, Legal and Corporate Secretary, NYSE Euronext, to 
Elizabeth M. Murphy, Secretary, Commission, dated May 24, 2012 
(``First Amendment'').
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Processors would also calculate a Pro-Forma Reference Price for 
each NMS Stock on a continuous basis during Regular Trading Hours. If a 
Pro-Forma Reference Price did not move by one percent or more from the 
Reference Price in effect, no new price bands would be disseminated, 
and the current Reference Price would remain the effective Reference 
Price. If the Pro-Forma Reference Price moved by one percent or more 
from the Reference Price in effect, the Pro-Forma Reference Price would 
become the Reference Price, and the Processors would disseminate new 
price bands based on the new Reference Price. Each new Reference Price 
would remain in effect for at least 30 seconds.
    When one side of the market for an individual security is outside 
the applicable price band, the Processors would be required to 
disseminate such National Best Bid \10\ or National Best Offer \11\ 
with an appropriate flag identifying it as non-executable. When the 
other side of the market reaches the applicable price band, the market 
for an individual security would enter a Limit State,\12\ and the 
Processors would be required to disseminate such National Best Offer or 
National Best Bid with an appropriate flag identifying it as a Limit 
State Quotation.\13\ All trading would immediately enter a Limit State 
if the National Best Offer equals the Lower Limit Band and does not 
cross the National Best Bid, or the National Best Bid equals the Upper 
Limit Band and does not cross the National Best Offer. Trading for an 
NMS Stock would exit a Limit State if, within 15 seconds of entering 
the Limit State, all Limit State Quotations were executed or canceled 
in their entirety. If the market did not exit a Limit State within 15 
seconds, then the Primary Listing Exchange would declare a five-minute 
trading pause, which would be applicable to all markets trading the 
security.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \10\ 17 CFR 242.600(b)(42). See also Section I(G) of the Plan.
    \11\ Id.
    \12\ A stock enters the Limit State if the National Best Offer 
equals the Lower Price Band and does not cross the National Best 
Bid, or the National Best Bid equals the Upper Price Band and does 
not cross the National Best Offer. See Section VI(B) of the Plan.
    \13\ See Section I(D) of the Plan.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    These limit up-limit down requirements would be coupled with 
trading pauses \14\ to accommodate more fundamental price moves (as 
opposed to erroneous trades or momentary gaps in liquidity). As set 
forth in more detail in the Plan, all trading centers \15\ in NMS 
Stocks, including both those operated by Participants and those 
operated by members of Participants, would be required to establish, 
maintain, and enforce written policies and procedures that are 
reasonably designed to comply with the limit up-limit down and trading 
pause requirements specified in the Plan.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \14\ The primary listing market would declare a trading pause in 
an NMS Stock; upon notification by the primary listing market, the 
Processor would disseminate this information to the public. No 
trades in that NMS Stock could occur during the trading pause, but 
all bids and offers may be displayed. See Section VII(A) of the 
Plan.
    \15\ As defined in Section I(X) of the Plan, a trading center 
shall have the meaning provided in Rule 600(b)(78) of Regulation NMS 
under the Act.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Under the Plan, all trading centers would be required to establish, 
maintain, and enforce written policies and procedures reasonably 
designed to prevent the display of offers below the Lower Price Band 
and bids above the Upper Price Band for an NMS Stock. The Processors 
would disseminate an offer below the Lower Price Band or bid above the 
Upper Price Band that nevertheless inadvertently may be submitted 
despite such reasonable policies and procedures, but with an 
appropriate flag identifying it as non-executable; such bid or offer 
would not be included in National Best Bid or National Best Offer 
calculations. In addition, all trading centers would be required to 
develop, maintain, and enforce policies and procedures reasonably 
designed to prevent trades at prices outside the price bands, with the 
exception of single-priced opening, reopening, and closing transactions 
on the Primary Listing Exchange.
    As stated by the Participants in the Plan, the limit up-limit down 
mechanism is intended to reduce the negative impacts of sudden, 
unanticipated price movements in NMS Stocks,\16\ thereby protecting 
investors and promoting a fair and orderly market.\17\ In particular, 
the Plan is designed to address the type of sudden price movements that 
the market experienced on the afternoon of May 6, 2010.\18\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \16\ 17 CFR 242.600(b)(47).
    \17\ See Transmittal Letter, supra note 3.
    \18\ The limit up-limit down mechanism set forth in the Plan 
would replace the existing single-stock circuit breaker pilot. See 
e.g., Securities Exchange Act Release Nos. 62251 (June 10, 2010), 75 
FR 34183 (June 16, 2010) (SR-FINRA-2010-025); 62883 (September 10, 
2010), 75 FR 56608 (September 16, 2010) (SR-FINRA-2010-033).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The following summarizes the Sixth Amendment to the Plan and the 
rationale behind those changes:
    The Participants propose to amend Section VIII.B of the Plan to 
establish a new implementation schedule for Phase II of the Plan. The 
Plan currently provides that eight months after the initial date of 
Plan operations, the Plan shall fully apply (A) to all NMS Stocks and 
(B) beginning at 9:30 a.m. ET, and ending at 4:00 p.m. ET each trading 
day, or earlier in the case of an early scheduled close. Because the 
initial date of Plan operations was April 8, 2013, the Plan currently 
provides that it shall be fully implemented by December 8, 2013.
    The Participants now propose to amend Section VIII.B to provide 
that Phase II shall be separated into two sub-phases. The first sub-
phase (Phase II.A.) would apply the Plan to all NMS Stocks beginning at 
9:30 a.m. ET, and ending at 3:45 p.m. ET each trading day, or earlier 
in the case of an early scheduled close by December 8, 2013 as planned. 
The second sub-phase (Phase II.B.) would cause the Plan to apply to all 
NMS Stocks beginning at 9:30 a.m. ET, and ending at 4:00 p.m. ET each 
trading day, or earlier in the case of an early scheduled close by 
February 24, 2014. The Participants propose to make this

[[Page 2206]]

change to accommodate a longer implementation period for Phase II.B. of 
the Plan, which is currently scheduled to be complete on December 8, 
2013.
    The Participants believe that this proposed amendment is technical 
and ministerial in nature because it simply extends the implementation 
period of the Plan with respect to Phase II.B. of the Plan, and it does 
not change any substantive elements of the Plan. The Participants note 
that at least two Participants plan to file proposed changes to their 
exchange rules to revise the manner by which they will interact with 
the Plan near the close. Specifically, the Participants will be 
proposing that if a Trading Pause is declared for an NMS Stock within 
the last ten minutes of trading, the Primary Listing Exchange will 
attempt to close the NMS Stock using a modified version of its 
established closing procedures. The Participants believe that the 
proposal to extend the implementation period is necessary to provide 
additional time for the amendment their exchange rules to go through 
the notice and comment period and approval process.
    In addition, the proposed modification to the implementation 
schedule is in response to requests by the securities industry for 
additional time for systems testing by Participants and the securities 
industry, particularly to test with proposed Exchange rule and system 
modifications around the close.\19\ The Participants believe that 
providing additional time for the Participants and the securities 
industry to test the manner by which the Plan operates around the 
close, particularly when there is a trading pause less than five 
minutes before the scheduled close of trading, is necessary and 
appropriate in the public interest and for the protection of investors.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \19\ See Letter from T.R. Lazo, Managing Director and Associate 
General Counsel, SIFMA to John Ramsey, Acting Director, Division of 
Trading and Markets, Securities and Exchange Commission, dated July 
10, 2013. The Participants note that SIFMA supports the proposed 
adjustment to the implementation schedule of Phase II of the Plan.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Participants believe it is important to implement all elements 
of the Plan in a prudent and cautious manner; however this interest is 
heightened where the Plan impacts the close of trading. A significant 
volume of trading occurs at the close, including in closing crosses on 
multiple exchanges. Additionally, the closing prices reached and 
disseminated by the Exchanges are used to price billions of dollars of 
mutual funds and other investments held by millions of individual 
investors and institutions. Accordingly, the need for thorough testing 
by all Participants and members is critical. The Participants believe 
that the proposed implementation date of February 24, 2014, for Phase 
II.B. provides sufficient time to perform this thorough testing.

B. Governing or Constituent Documents

    The governing documents of the Processor, as defined in Section 
I(P) of the Plan, will not be affected by the Plan, but once the Plan 
is implemented, the Processor's obligations will change, as set forth 
in detail in the Plan.

C. Implementation of Plan

    The initial date of the Plan operations was April 8, 2013.

D. Development and Implementation Phases

    The Plan will be implemented as a one-year pilot program in two 
Phases, consistent with Section VIII of the Plan: Phase I of Plan 
implementation began on April 8, 2013 and was completed on May 3, 2013. 
Implementation of Phase II of the Plan began on August 5, 2013. 
Pursuant to this proposed amendment, Phase II.A. of the implementation, 
which applies the Plan to all NMS Stocks beginning at 9:30 a.m. ET, and 
ending at 3:45 p.m. ET each trading day, or earlier in the case of an 
early scheduled close will be completed by December 8, 2013 as planned. 
Phase II.B. of the implementation, which causes the Plan to apply to 
all NMS Stocks beginning at 9:30 a.m. ET, and ending at 4:00 p.m. ET 
each trading day, or earlier in the case of an early scheduled close, 
will be completed by February 24, 2014. The Participants are hereby 
filing to extend the completion date for Phase II.B. to February 24, 
2014, at which time the Plan will apply to all NMS Stocks until 4:00 
p.m. ET, or earlier in the case of an early scheduled close.

E. Analysis of Impact on Competition

    The proposed Plan does not impose any burden on competition that is 
not necessary or appropriate in furtherance of the purposes of the Act. 
The Participants do not believe that the proposed Plan introduces terms 
that are unreasonably discriminatory for the purposes of Section 
11A(c)(1)(D) of the Act.\20\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \20\ 15 U.S.C. 78k-1(c)(1)(D).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

F. Written Understanding or Agreements Relating to Interpretation of, 
or Participation in, Plan

    The Participants have no written understandings or agreements 
relating to interpretation of the Plan. Section II(C) of the Plan sets 
forth how any entity registered as a national securities exchange or 
national securities association may become a Participant.

G. Approval of Amendment of the Plan

    Each of the Plan's Participants has executed a written amended 
Plan.

H. Terms and Conditions of Access

    Section II(C) of the Plan provides that any entity registered as a 
national securities exchange or national securities association under 
the Act may become a Participant by: (1) Becoming a participant in the 
applicable Market Data Plans, as defined in Section I(F) of the Plan; 
(2) executing a copy of the Plan, as then in effect; (3) providing each 
then-current Participant with a copy of such executed Plan; and (4) 
effecting an amendment to the Plan as specified in Section III(B) of 
the Plan.

I. Method of Determination and Imposition, and Amount of, Fees and 
Charges

    Not applicable.

J. Method and Frequency of Processor Evaluation

    Not applicable.

K. Dispute Resolution

    Section III(C) of the Plan provides for each Participant to 
designate an individual to represent the Participant as a member of an 
Operating Committee.\21\ No later than the initial date of the Plan, 
the Operating Committee shall designate one member of the Operating 
Committee to act as the Chair of the Operating Committee. Any 
recommendation for an amendment to the Plan from the Operating 
Committee that receives an affirmative vote of at least two-thirds of 
the Participants, but is less than unanimous, shall be submitted to the 
Commission as a request for an amendment to the Plan initiated by the 
Commission under Rule 608.\22\

confidential treatment.
III. Amendments to Plan
(A) General Amendments
    Except with respect to the addition of new Participants to the 
Plan, any proposed change in, addition to, or deletion from the Plan 
shall be effected by means of a written amendment to the Plan that: (1) 
sets forth the change, addition, or deletion; (2) is executed on behalf

(B) New Participants
    With respect to new Participants, an amendment to the Plan may be 
effected by the new national securities exchange or national securities 
association executing a copy of the Plan, as then in effect (with the 
only changes being the addition of the new Participant's name in 
Section II(A) of the Plan) and submitting such executed Plan to the SEC

[[Page 2209]]

    (3) Any recommendation for an amendment to the Plan from the 
Operating Committee that receives an affirmative vote of at least two-
thirds of the Participants, but is less than unanimous, shall be 
submitted to the SEC as a request for an amendment to the Plan 
initiated by the Commission under Rule 608 of Regulation NMS.
IV. Trading Center Policies and Procedures
    All trading centers in NMS Stocks, including both those operated by 
Participants and those operated by members of Participants, shall 
establish, maintain, and enforce written policies and procedures that 
are reasonably designed to comply with the limit up--limit down 
requirements specified in Sections VI of the Plan, and to comply with 
the Trading Pauses specified in Section VII of the Plan.
V. Price Bands
(A) Calculation and Dissemination of Price Bands
    (1) The Processor for each NMS stock shall calculate and 
disseminate to the public a Lower Price Band and an Upper Price Band 
during Regular Trading Hours for such NMS Stock. The Price Bands shall 
be based on a Reference Price for each NMS Stock that equals the 
arithmetic mean price of Eligible Reported Transactions for the NMS 
stock over the immediately preceding five-minute period (except for 
periods following openings and reopenings, which are addressed below). 
If no Eligible Reported Transactions for the NMS Stock have occurred 
over the immediately preceding five-minute period, the previous 
Reference Price shall remain in effect. The Price Bands for an NMS 
Stock shall be calculated by applying the Percentage Parameter for such 
NMS Stock to the Reference Price, with the Lower Price Band being a 
Percentage Parameter below the Reference Price, and the Upper Price 
Band being a Percentage Parameter above the Reference Price. The Price 
Bands shall be calculated during Regular Trading Hours. Between 9:30 
a.m. and 9:45 a.m. ET, and 3:35 p.m. and 4:00 p.m. ET, or in the case 
of an early scheduled close, during the last 25 minutes of trading 
before the early scheduled close, the Price Bands shall be calculated 
by applying double the Percentage Parameters set forth in Appendix A. 
If a Reopening Price does not occur within ten minutes after the 
beginning of a Trading Pause, the Price Band, for the first 30 seconds 
following the reopening after that Trading Pause, shall be calculated 
by applying triple the Percentage Parameters set forth in Appendix A.
    (2) The Processor shall calculate a Pro-Forma Reference Price on a 
continuous basis during Regular Trading Hours, as specified in Section 
V(A)(1) of the Plan. If a Pro-Forma Reference Price has not moved by 1% 
or more from the Reference Price currently in effect, no new Price 
Bands shall be disseminated, and the current Reference Price shall 
remain the effective Reference Price. When the Pro-Forma Reference 
Price has moved by 1% or more from the Reference Price currently in 
effect, the Pro-Forma Reference Price shall become the Reference Price, 
and the Processor shall disseminate new Price Bands based on the new 
Reference Price; provided, however, that each new Reference Price shall 
remain in effect for at least 30 seconds.
(B) Openings
    (1) Except when a Regulatory Halt is in effect at the start of 
Regular Trading Hours, the first Reference Price for a trading day 
shall be the Opening Price on the Primary Listing Exchange in an NMS 
Stock if such Opening Price occurs less than five minutes after the 
start of Regular Trading Hours. During the period less than five 
minutes after the Opening Price, a Pro-Forma Reference Price shall be 
updated on a continuous basis to be the arithmetic mean price of 
Eligible Reported Transactions for the NMS Stock during the period 
following the Opening Price (including the Opening Price), and if it 
differs from the current Reference Price by 1% or more shall become the 
new Reference Price, except that a new Reference Price shall remain in 
effect for at least 30 seconds. Subsequent Reference Prices shall be 
calculated as specified in Section V(A) of the Plan.
    (2) If the Opening Price on the Primary Listing Exchange in an NMS 
Stock does not occur within five minutes after the start of Regular 
Trading Hours, the first Reference Price for a trading day shall be the 
arithmetic mean price of Eligible Reported Transactions for the NMS 
Stock over the preceding five minute time period, and subsequent 
Reference Prices shall be calculated as specified in Section V(A) of 
the Plan.
(C) Reopenings
    (1) Following a Trading Pause in an NMS Stock, and if the Primary 
Listing Exchange has not declared a Regulatory Halt, the next Reference 
Price shall be the Reopening Price on the Primary Listing Exchange if 
such Reopening Price occurs within ten minutes after the beginning of 
the Trading Pause, and subsequent Reference Prices shall be determined 
in the manner prescribed for normal openings, as specified in Section 
V(B)(1) of the Plan. If such Reopening Price does not occur within ten 
minutes after the beginning of the Trading Pause, the first Reference 
Price following the Trading Pause shall be equal to the last effective 
Reference Price before the Trading Pause. Subsequent Reference Prices 
shall be calculated as specified in Section V(A) of the Plan.
    (2) Following a Regulatory Halt, the next Reference Price shall be 
the Opening or Reopening Price on the Primary Listing Exchange if such 
Opening or Reopening Price occurs within five minutes after the end of 
the Regulatory Halt, and subsequent Reference Prices shall be 
determined in the manner prescribed for normal openings, as specified 
in Section V(B)(1) of the Plan. If such Opening or Reopening Price has 
not occurred within five minutes after the end of the Regulatory Halt, 
the Reference Price shall be equal to the arithmetic mean price of 
Eligible Reported Transactions for the NMS Stock over the preceding 
five minute time period, and subsequent Reference Prices shall be 
calculated as specified in Section V(A) of the Plan.
VI. Limit Up-Limit Down Requirements
(A) Limitations on Trades and Quotations Outside of Price Bands
    (1) All trading centers in NMS Stocks, including both those 
operated by Participants and those operated by members of Participants, 
shall establish, maintain, and enforce written policies and procedures 
that are reasonably designed to prevent trades at prices that are below 
the Lower Price Band or above the Upper Price Band for an NMS Stock. 
Single-priced opening, reopening, and closing transactions on the 
Primary Listing Exchange, however, shall be excluded from this 
limitation. In addition, any transaction that both (i) does not update 
the last sale price (except if solely because the transaction was 
reported late or because the transaction was an odd-lot sized 
transaction), and (ii) is excepted or exempt from Rule 611 under 
Regulation NMS shall be excluded from this limitation.
    (2) When a National Best Bid is below the Lower Price Band or a 
National Best Offer is above the Upper Price Band for an NMS Stock, the 
Processor shall disseminate such National Best Bid or National Best 
Offer with an appropriate flag identifying it as non-executable. When a 
National Best Offer is equal to the Lower Price Band or a National Best

[[Page 2210]]

Bid is equal to the Upper Price Band for an NMS Stock, the Processor 
shall distribute such National Best Bid or National Best Offer with an 
appropriate flag identifying it as a ``Limit State Quotation''.
    (3) All trading centers in NMS Stocks, including both those 
operated by Participants and those operated by members of Participants, 
shall establish, maintain, and enforce written policies and procedures 
that are reasonably designed to prevent the display of offers below the 
Lower Price Band and bids above the Upper Price Band for an NMS Stock. 
The Processor shall disseminate an offer below the Lower Price Band or 
bid above the Upper Price Band that may be submitted despite such 
reasonable policies and procedures, but with an appropriate flag 
identifying it as non-executable; provided, however, that any such bid 
or offer shall not be included in National Best Bid or National Best 
Offer calculations.
(B) Entering and Exiting a Limit State
    (1) All trading for an NMS Stock shall immediately enter a Limit 
State if the National Best Offer equals the Lower Price Band and does 
not cross the National Best Bid, or the National Best Bid equals the 
Upper Price Band and does not cross the National Best Offer.
    (2) When trading for an NMS Stock enters a Limit State, the 
Processor shall disseminate this information by identifying the 
relevant quotation (i.e., a National Best Offer that equals the Lower 
Price Band or a National Best Bid that equals the Upper Price Band) as 
a Limit State Quotation. At this point, the Processor shall cease 
calculating and disseminating updated Reference Prices and Price Bands 
for the NMS Stock until either trading exits the Limit State or trading 
resumes with an opening or re-opening as provided in Section V.
    (3) Trading for an NMS Stock shall exit a Limit State if, within 15 
seconds of entering the Limit State, the entire size of all Limit State 
Quotations are executed or cancelled.
    (4) If trading for an NMS Stock exits a Limit State within 15 
seconds of entry, the Processor shall immediately calculate and 
disseminate updated Price Bands based on a Reference Price that equals 
the arithmetic mean price of Eligible Reported Transactions for the NMS 
Stock over the immediately preceding five-minute period (including the 
period of the Limit State).
    (5) If trading for an NMS Stock does not exit a Limit State within 
15 seconds of entry, the Limit State will terminate when the Primary 
Listing Exchange declares a Trading Pause pursuant to Section VII of 
the Plan or at the end of Regular Trading Hours.
VII. Trading Pauses
(A) Declaration of Trading Pauses
    (1) If trading for an NMS Stock does not exit a Limit State within 
15 seconds of entry during Regular Trading Hours, then the Primary 
Listing Exchange shall declare a Trading Pause for such NMS Stock and 
shall notify the Processor.
    (2) The Primary Listing Exchange may also declare a Trading Pause 
for an NMS Stock when an NMS Stock is in a Straddle State, which is 
when National Best Bid (Offer) is below (above) the Lower (Upper) Price 
Band and the NMS Stock is not in a Limit State, and trading in that NMS 
Stock deviates from normal trading characteristics such that declaring 
a Trading Pause would support the Plan's goal to address extraordinary 
market volatility. The Primary Listing Exchange shall develop policies 
and procedures for determining when it would declare a Trading Pause in 
such circumstances. If a Trading Pause is declared for an NMS Stock 
under this provision, the Primary Listing Exchange shall notify the 
Processor.
    (3) The Processor shall disseminate Trading Pause information to 
the public. No trades in an NMS Stock shall occur during a Trading 
Pause, but all bids and offers may be displayed.
(B) Reopening of Trading During Regular Trading Hours
    (1) Five minutes after declaring a Trading Pause for an NMS Stock, 
and if the Primary Listing Exchange has not declared a Regulatory Halt, 
the Primary Listing Exchange shall attempt to reopen trading using its 
established reopening procedures. The Trading Pause shall end when the 
Primary Listing Exchange reports a Reopening Price.
    (2) The Primary Listing Exchange shall notify the Processor if it 
is unable to reopen trading in an NMS Stock for any reason other than a 
significant order imbalance and if it has not declared a Regulatory 
Halt. The Processor shall disseminate this information to the public, 
and all trading centers may begin trading the NMS Stock at this time.
    (3) If the Primary Listing Exchange does not report a Reopening 
Price within ten minutes after the declaration of a Trading Pause in an 
NMS Stock, and has not declared a Regulatory Halt, all trading centers 
may begin trading the NMS Stock.
    (4) When trading begins after a Trading Pause, the Processor shall 
update the Price Bands as set forth in Section V(C)(1) of the Plan.
(C) Trading Pauses Within Ten Minutes of the End of Regular Trading 
Hours
    (1) If a Trading Pause for an NMS Stock is declared in the last ten 
minutes of trading before the end of Regular Trading Hours, the Primary 
Listing Exchange shall not reopen trading and shall attempt to execute 
a closing transaction using its established closing procedures. All 
trading centers may begin trading the NMS Stock when the Primary 
Listing Exchange executes a closing transaction.
    (2) If the Primary Listing Exchange does not execute a closing 
transaction within five minutes after the end of Regular Trading Hours, 
all trading centers may begin trading the NMS Stock.
VIII. Implementation
    The initial date of Plan operations shall be April 8, 2013.
(A) Phase I
    (1) On the initial date of Plan operations, Phase I of Plan 
implementation shall begin in select symbols from the Tier 1 NMS Stocks 
identified in Appendix A of the Plan.
    (2) Three months after the initial date of Plan operations, or such 
earlier date as may be announced by the Processor with at least 30 days 
notice, the Plan shall fully apply to all Tier 1 NMS Stocks identified 
in Appendix A of the Plan.
    (3) During Phase I, the first Price Bands for a trading day shall 
be calculated and disseminated 15 minutes after the start of Regular 
Trading Hours as specified in Section (V)(A) of the Plan. No Price 
Bands shall be calculated and disseminated and therefore trading shall 
not enter a Limit State less than 30 minutes before the end of Regular 
Trading Hours.
(B) Phase II--Full Implementation
    Phase II.A.: Eight months after the initial date of Plan 
operations, or such earlier date as may be announced by the Processor 
with at least 30 days notice, the Plan shall fully apply (i) to all NMS 
Stocks; and (ii) beginning at 9:30 a.m. ET, and ending at 3:45 [4:00] 
p.m. ET each trading day, or earlier in the case of an early scheduled 
close.
    Phase II.B.: By February 24, 2014, or such earlier date as may be 
announced by the Processor with at least 30 days notice, the Plan shall 
fully apply (i) to all NMS Stocks; and (ii) beginning at 9:30 a.m. ET, 
and ending at 4:00 p.m. ET each trading day, or earlier in the case of 
an early scheduled close.

[[Page 2211]]

(C) Pilot
    The Plan shall be implemented on a one-year pilot basis.
IX. Withdrawal from Plan
    If a Participant obtains SEC approval to withdraw from the Plan, 
such Participant may withdraw from the Plan at any time on not less 
than 30 days' prior written notice to each of the other Participants. 
At such time, the withdrawing Participant shall have no further rights 
or obligations under the Plan.
X. Counterparts and Signatures
    The Plan may be executed in any number of counterparts, no one of 
which need contain all signatures of all Participants, and as many of 
such counterparts as shall together contain all such signatures shall 
constitute one and the same instrument.
    IN WITNESS THEREOF, this Plan has been executed as of the -- day of 
November 2013 by each of the parties hereto.

Appendix A--Percentage Parameters

I. Tier 1 NMS Stocks

    (1) Tier 1 NMS Stocks shall include all NMS Stocks included in the 
S&P 500 Index, the Russell 1000 Index, and the exchange-traded products 
(``ETP'') listed on Schedule 1 to this Appendix. Schedule 1 to the 
Appendix will be reviewed and updated semi-annually based on the fiscal 
year by the Primary Listing Exchange to add ETPs that meet the 
criteria, or delete ETPs that are no longer eligible. To determine 
eligibility for an ETP to be included as a Tier 1 NMS Stock, all ETPs 
across multiple asset classes and issuers, including domestic equity, 
international equity, fixed income, currency, and commodities and 
futures will be identified. Leveraged ETPs will be excluded and the 
list will be sorted by notional consolidated average daily volume 
(``CADV''). The period used to measure CADV will be from the first day 
of the previous fiscal half year up until one week before the beginning 
of the next fiscal half year. Daily volumes will be multiplied by 
closing prices and then averaged over the period. ETPs, including 
inverse ETPs, that trade over $2,000,000 CADV will be eligible to be 
included as a Tier 1 NMS Stock. The semi-annual updates to Schedule 1 
do not require an amendment to the Plan. The Primary Listing Exchanges 
will maintain the updated Schedule 1 on their respective Web sites.
    (2) The Percentage Parameters for Tier 1 NMS Stocks with a 
Reference Price more than $3.00 shall be 5%.
    (3) The Percentage Parameters for Tier 1 NMS Stocks with a 
Reference Price equal to $0.75 and up to and including $3.00 shall be 
20%.
    (4) The Percentage Parameters for Tier 1 NMS Stocks with a 
Reference Price less than $0.75 shall be the lesser of (a) $0.15 or (b) 
75%.
    (5) The Reference Price used for determining which Percentage 
Parameter shall be applicable during a trading day shall be based on 
the closing price of the NMS Stock on the Primary Listing Exchange on 
the previous trading day, or if no closing price exists, the last sale 
on the Primary Listing Exchange reported by the Processor.

II. Tier 2 NMS Stocks

    (1) Tier 2 NMS Stocks shall include all NMS Stocks other than those 
in Tier 1, provided, however, that all rights and warrants are excluded 
from the Plan.
    (2) The Percentage Parameters for Tier 2 NMS Stocks with a 
Reference Price more than $3.00 shall be 10%.
    (3) The Percentage Parameters for Tier 2 NMS Stocks with a 
Reference Price equal to $0.75 and up to and including $3.00 shall be 
20%.
    (4) The Percentage Parameters for Tier 2 NMS Stocks with a 
Reference Price less than $0.75 shall be the lesser of (a) $0.15 or (b) 
75%.
    (5) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Percentage Parameters for a 
Tier 2 NMS Stock that is a leveraged ETP shall be the applicable 
Percentage Parameter set forth in clauses (2), (3), or (4) above, 
multiplied by the leverage ratio of such product.
    (6) The Reference Price used for determining which Percentage 
Parameter shall be applicable during a trading day shall be based on 
the closing price of the NMS Stock on the Primary Listing Exchange on 
the previous trading day, or if no closing price exists, the last sale 
on the Primary Listing Exchange reported by the Processor.
