Re: Amendments to Coffee “C” Resolution No. 1 and Cocoa Resolution No. 5 A
Submission Pursuant to Section 5c(c)(1) of the Act and Regulation 40.6

Dear Ms. Donovan:

Pursuant to Section 5c(c)(1) of the Commodity Exchange Act, as amended, and
Commission Regulation 40.6, the Board of Trade of the City of New York, Inc. (“Exchange”)
submits, by written certification, amendments to Coffee “C” Resolution No. 1 and Cocoa
Resolution No. 5, attached as Exhibit A.

Coffee Resolution No. 1 and Cocoa Resolution No. 5

Amendments to Coffee “C” Resolution No. 1 and Cocoa Resolution No. 5 provide that
once an Exchange Lot number and an EWR number are assigned to a lot of coffee or cocoa, both
numbers must appear on the warehouse tags and stock reports.

Coffee Resolution No. 1

An ex-warehouse delivery order is a document used in eCOPS® to authorize a warehouse
operator to release certified coffee for removal from the warehouse. When the document is
issued, eCOPS changes the identified coffee bags’ status from “open” to “pending delivery” and
electronically reduces the number of certified bags in store at the warehouse. When the bags are
physically removed form the warehouse, the warehouse operator is expected to modify the EWR
and change the status from “pending delivery” to “delivered out” and to zero out the quantity of
bags to indicate that the EWR has been surrendered. Amendments to Coffee Resolution No. 1
conform the requirements contained in Section VIII, 6 to the existing practice just described.


-2-

The Exchange certifies that the amendments comply with the requirements of the
Commodity Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.

The amendments were adopted by the Exchange’s Board of Governors on July 12, 2006.
No substantive opposing views were expressed by members or others with respect to the
amendments. The amendments will become effective on July 17, 2006.

If you have any questions or need further information, please contact me at
