Re: Amendments to Rule 4.07 -
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 Rule 4.07, attached as Exhibit A.

Rule 4.07, Trading Hours, currently lists the FINEX EURO Index Futures and Options
Contracts trading hours as 7:00PM to 10:00PM (New York floor), 2:00AM to 8:05AM (Dublin
floor) and 8:05AM to 3:00PM (New York floor). The amendments change the hours to 7:00PM to
10:00PM (New York floor), 2:00AM to 10:00AM (Dublin floor) and 10:00AM to 3:00PM (New
York floor). The amendments simultaneously extend the trading session on the Dublin floor and
shorten the session on the New York floor by one hour and fifty five minutes. The Exchange expects
to attract more volume in the Index by extending the trading hours on its European floor in Dublin.

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 unanimously by the Exchange’s Board of Governors on
June 15, 2006. No substantive opposing views were expressed by members or others with
respect to the amendments. The amendments will become effective on August 29, 2006.
