ARTICLE 1

MEMBERSHIP

Section 100. CATEGORIES, NUMBER OF MEMBERSHIPS

(A) There will be two categories of membership in COMEX: the NYMEX Membership (of which only one will be issued) and COMEX Division Memberships. Only
NYMEX shall have the voting, liquidation and the other rights and privileges of a member under the New York Not-For-Profit Corporation Law (the NPCL), such power to be exercised pursuant to the terms of these By-Laws.

(B) The number of COMEX Division Memberships is limited to 772. Holders of the COMEX Division Memberships will not have any ownership or other rights
under the NPCL but will have the rights contained in these By-Laws. Except as expressly provided in these By-Laws, the holders of COMEX Division Memberships, in their capacity as such, shall have no voting rights.

Section 101. ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA AND PROCEDURES

(A) Subject to the terms of Section 158(C)(2), the Board may adopt, from time to time, Rules relating to criteria for eligibility for membership and procedures for becoming a member and any requirements or procedures for the
acquisition or transfer of a membership as it may determine.

(B) Subject to the terms of Section 158(C)(3)(b), the Board may adopt,
from time to time, Rules relating to eligibility and application procedures for Floor Members as it shall determine.

Section 102. FINANCIAL
STANDARDS

(A) The Board may adopt, from time to time, Rules relating to financial standards applicable to Members and Member Firms as a
condition to becoming a Member and continuing as a Member. Subject to the terms of Section 158(C)(2), such financial standards may differ among different categories of membership as determined by the Board in its discretion.

(B) Any Member who is registered with the Commission shall comply with such rules and regulations as the Commission adopts relating to financial
requirements.

Section 103. DUES

The Board may assess such dues upon each owner of a COMEX Division Membership as it determines, but in no greater amount than those dues imposed on each owner of a NYMEX Division Membership. The Board may also, in its
discretion, waive the payment of dues by owners of COMEX Division Memberships. Dues assessed on COMEX Division Members shall be applied pro rata among all owners of COMEX Division Memberships on the basis of the number of regular memberships
held, including, for these purposes, regular memberships held by the Exchange or its Affiliates, and are payable by the owner of the COMEX Division Membership in whose name the membership is registered.

Section 104. ASSESSMENTS

(A) The Board may levy
such assessments upon each owner of a COMEX Division Membership as it determines, but in no greater amount than those imposed on each owner of a NYMEX Division Membership. The Board may also, in its discretion, waive the payment of such assessments
by owners of COMEX Division Memberships.

(B) From time to time the COMEX Governors Committee may levy such assessments upon the COMEX
Division Memberships as it determines to be necessary in its sole discretion to fund the costs and expenses of independent legal or other professional services to protect the COMEX Members interests. Notwithstanding Section 104(C), such
assessments shall be due and payable at such time as the COMEX Governors Committee may determine.

(C) All assessments are due and payable
at such time as the Board may determine. All assessments on COMEX Division Members will be applied pro rata among all owners of COMEX Division Memberships based on the number of COMEX Division Memberships owned, including, for these
purposes, regular memberships held by the Exchange or its Affiliates, and will be payable by the owner of the COMEX Division Membership in whose name the membership is registered.

Section 105. FEES

(A) Subject to the limitations set forth in these By-Laws, from time to time
the Board may establish fees, in such amounts as it determines, on contracts traded on the COMEX Division. For the purposes of Sections 105(B)  (I) below, the term fees shall mean trade execution charges and related surcharges
(except for any lessee or licensee surcharges) as opposed to administrative fees set forth in Section 105(K).

(B) Until November 20, 2011, the average member fee for COMEX Division Members for all COMEX Core
Products may not be increased from their levels as of November 20, 2006 by any greater percentage than the average member fees for all NYMEX Core Products are increased after such date. For example, if on November 20, 2006 the average
member fee for all NYMEX Core Products is $1.00, but on November 20, 2007 the average member fee for all NYMEX Core Products increases by 50% to $1.50, then the average member fee for all COMEX Core Products could not be increased by more than
50% over this same one-year period. Nothing in this Section 105(B) will prohibit NYMEX from eliminating different tiers of member rates.

(C) Open outcry fees for COMEX Division Members and non-members trading COMEX Division contracts shall not exceed electronic fees for the same or equivalent products, including miNYs; provided, however, that when comparing fees, contracts
must be compared as if they were of equivalent contract size. For instance, the fee for an open outcry traded 100 oz. Gold future could not exceed the fees for two electronic 50 oz. Gold miNY contracts.

(D)(1) Subject to subsection (3) below, for the period that any COMEX Core Products are traded via open outcry, fees charged to owners of COMEX
Division memberships on COMEX Core Products (traded electronically or by open outcry) will be at least 50% lower than the fees charged to participants in the next highest tier of fees; with respect to New Metals Contracts, this provision will also
apply until November 20, 2011 to fees charged to owners of COMEX Division Memberships on New Metals Contracts (traded electronically or open outcry). At the time of any fee change, in comparing fees under this Section, the actual costs paid to
any Electronic Trading System provider over the preceding three months expressed as a weighted average fee per contract will be deducted from the electronic (not open outcry) fees before calculating the fee differential. For example, based on a
hypothetical Electronic Trading System cost structure, if, over the prior three-month period, the first 10,000,000 trades were provided at a fee of $.50 per side and the next 20,000,000 trades were provided at $.30 per side, the average fee per
contract would be $.3667 per side; this amount would be deducted from the member fee and the next highest tier of fees in comparing whether the member fee was at least 50% lower than the next highest tier of fees.

(2) For the period after open outcry trading of all COMEX Core Products has ceased, the average non-member/member fee ratio for all COMEX Core Products
would not be less than the average non-member/member fee ratio for all NYMEX Core Products traded both electronically and via open outcry. For example, if the non-member/member fees were $1.00 and $.50, respectively, for NYMEX Division Core
Products, the ratio for non-member to member fees for COMEX Division Core Products could be no lower than 2:1.

(3) The following fees are
excluded from the term next highest tier of fees as set forth in subsection (1):

(a) Fee waivers (as set forth
in subsection (E) below)



3



---

(b) Cross-divisional Trading Fees (as set forth in subsection (F) below)

(c) Market Maker Fees (as set forth in subsections (G) below)

(d) Volume discount fees. These fees are discounted non-member fees applicable once volume thresholds are met, with such volume thresholds
set at a reasonable level such that they are not designed to apply to more than 20% of total non-member volume. The discounted non-member fee must be at least 25% greater than the applicable COMEX Division member fee at all times. For instance, if
the member fee were $.40, then the discounted non-member rate would not be less than $.50. NYMEX will review these fees on at least a quarterly basis to determine whether this 20% cap is being achieved and will use commercially reasonable efforts to
readjust the volume thresholds to achieve the 20% cap.

(e) Permittee fees for permits established in accordance with
Section 157(H), provided, however, that no permittee fee shall be lower than the applicable COMEX Division member fees.

(f) Fees charged to COMEX Division Lessees or Licensees and COMEX Option Members.

(E) Fee Waivers. NYMEX may institute fee
waivers for any COMEX contract, for up to a six-month period with extension for additional six-month periods after prior reasonable consultation with (but not requiring the approval of) the COMEX Governors Committee. In the event that fee waivers
are provided to non-COMEX Division Members for any COMEX contract, fees for that contract must also be waived for COMEX Division Members. In addition, for fee waivers that are implemented during open outcry hours, such fee waivers will apply equally
to open outcry trading and electronic trading of the same metals products, regardless of size, e.g., if NYMEX waives fees on gold miNY contracts during open outcry hours, NYMEX must also waive fees for full-size gold contracts trading on open
outcry. For fee waivers that are implemented outside of open outcry hours, there will be no requirement to waive fees on open outcry trading; provided, however, that such off-hours fee waivers are subject to the six-month periods referenced above.
In addition, if NYMEX waives open outcry fees for any COMEX contracts, electronic fees are not required to be waived.

(F) Cross-Divisional
Trading (1) Until November 20, 2011, the fees charged with respect to open outcry trading of NYMEX Division contracts by COMEX Division Members (or COMEX Division contracts by NYMEX Division Members), who are natural persons who own the
relevant membership and are not persons who lease or license memberships, as customers from off the floor for their own accounts (but not for the account of a Member Firm or any other business association) shall be established by the Board and shall
be equal to the mean between the lowest fees charged to owners of COMEX Division memberships for open outcry contracts traded on the COMEX Division and the highest tier of fees charged to non-members for open outcry contracts traded on the COMEX
Division; provided, however, that in no event shall fees charged to COMEX Division Members trading NYMEX Division contracts be less than fees charged to NYMEX Division Members trading NYMEX Division contracts.



4



---

(2) Until November 20, 2011, with respect to cross-divisional trading of contracts
traded on an Electronic Trading System with respect to COMEX Division or NYMEX Division Members, as applicable, who are natural persons who own the relevant membership and not persons who lease or license memberships, as customers for their own
accounts (but not for the account of a Member Firm or any other business association) shall be established by the Board and shall be equal to, on a per contract basis:

(i) for COMEX Division Members trading NYMEX Division products: the mean between the lowest such fees charged to owners of NYMEX Division
memberships and the highest tier of fees charged to non-members for such contracts traded on the NYMEX Division; and

(ii)
for NYMEX Division Members trading COMEX Division products: the mean between the lowest such fees charged to owners of COMEX Division memberships and the highest tier of fees charged to non-members for such contracts traded on the COMEX Division.

(3) After November 20, 2011, the Board, in its sole discretion, shall determine whether to permit cross-divisional
trading at discounted fees and to determine any fees relative to cross-divisional trading; provided, however, that in the event NYMEX Division Members are provided discounted fees for trading COMEX Division contracts, COMEX Division members shall be
provided discounted fees on an equivalent basis for trading NYMEX Division contracts.

(G) Market Makers (1) CME market makers
designated pursuant to the April 6, 2006 Services Agreement between NYMEX and the Chicago Mercantile Exchange shall be permitted to receive COMEX Division member fees. The number of market makers for COMEX Division products pursuant to that
Agreement and the rights given to such market makers for COMEX Division products under that Agreement as of April 6, 2006 will not be increased without the prior consent of the COMEX Governors Committee in its sole discretion.

(2) NYMEX may appoint up to four COMEX Division Members to act as market makers for each COMEX Division product traded
electronically (with no more than 10 individuals per market maker trading electronically on each market makers account at any time). This market maker appointment is subject to a time limit of one year from the time such COMEX
electronic product begins to trade and may be extended for one additional year with the prior consent of the COMEX Governors Committee in its sole discretion. Any market makers appointed pursuant to this Section 105(G)(2) will not be entitled
to any preferential status or terms other than a fee preference for their market making activities.



5



---

(3) NYMEX will not authorize any additional market makers for any COMEX
Division products other than as set forth in this Section 105(G) except with the prior consent of a majority of those members of the COMEX Governors Committee elected by the COMEX Division membership.

(H) Except as set forth in this subsection (H), the provisions of Section 105 shall not apply
to products listed for clearing only (which are currently listed on NYMEX ClearPort®Clearing). For NYMEX ClearPort®Clearing products where metals are the underlying
commodity, if NYMEX Division Members are provided a member fee for NYMEX ClearPort®Clearing products where NYMEX Core Products are the underlying commodity, COMEX Members will receive a member fee on a per product basis not greater than seventy percent (70%) of the fee charged from time-to-time to non-members for trading such
metals products provided that the applicable COMEX Division Members meet the regulatory requirements set by the CFTC and NYMEX for such trading.

(I) If NYMEX obtains the right for NYMEX Division Members to trade on another exchange any (i) contracts in which the underlying commodity is a metal other than Platinum or Palladium or (ii) contracts that are competitive with
NYMEX Core Products, at a percentage discount from what would be charged to members of the public for trading those contracts, and if that other exchange lists metals contracts of any kind other than Platinum or Palladium, then NYMEX shall obtain
for the COMEX Division Members the right to trade each of those metals contracts at the same percentage discount.

(J) The current
surcharge charged to lessees or licensees of COMEX Division Memberships may not be decreased below current levels as of November 20, 2006 without the prior consent of the COMEX Governors Committee in its sole discretion.

(K) NYMEX may impose administrative fees, such as booth, telephone, electronic terminal, bandwidth or similar fees, on the COMEX Division Members on a
uniform basis as a class; provided, however, that such fees shall be reasonably related to actual expense increases faced by NYMEX and such fees charged to COMEX Division Members may not exceed those charged to NYMEX Division Members.

Section 106. FAILURE TO PAY DUES, ASSESSMENTS AND FEES

(A) If a Member fails to pay any dues, assessments or fees when due and such failure is not cured within thirty (30) days after written notice to the Member by the COMEX Division that such dues, assessments or fees are due, such Member
shall be suspended automatically from all rights and privileges of membership. Such suspension shall continue in effect until the failure is cured. The Executive Committee, upon written application received prior to the expiration of such period,
may extend the thirty (30) day period, in its sole discretion.

(B) If a Member who is suspended under subsection (A) of this
Rule fails to pay any dues, assessments or fees within thirty (30) days of the suspension, the Member shall be expelled from membership. The Board or the Executive Committee, upon written application received prior to the expiration of such
thirty (30) day period and for good cause, may extend the thirty (30) day period.



6



---

(C) Any Member who fails to pay any dues, assessments or fees after written notice to the Member that
such dues, assessments or fees are payable, shall pay a penalty, in addition to the sanctions imposed by this Section 106, as fixed from time to time by the Board but not less than twenty percent (20%) of the amount due.

Section 107. NOTICE OF DUES AND ASSESSMENTS

(A)
Notice of all dues and assessments shall be published by the Exchange and shall be given: personally by delivery to a postal box located on the Exchange premises; or, by first class mail, postage prepaid and addressed to the Member at the address
such member has filed with the Exchange. Notice, when mailed in accordance with this Section 107, shall be effective when mailed.

(B)
Non-receipt of the notice shall not operate to relieve the Member from payment, to extend the time for payment or to relieve any Member from the imposition of penalties for failing to pay dues and assessments.

Section 108. EFFECT OF SUSPENSION OR EXPULSION OF MEMBERSHIP

(A) A Member or Member Firm whose rights and privileges of Membership have been suspended shall continue to be:

(1) subject to the By-Laws and Rules of the Exchange;

(2) liable for all dues, assessments,
fees and fines imposed by the Exchange; and

(3) obligated to the Exchange and to its Members for all contracts, obligations
and liabilities entered into or incurred before, during and after such suspension.

positions of any Member or Member Firm or any person except:

(1) to any committee, officer, director, employee or agent of
the Exchange authorized to receive such information within the scope of its or such persons duties;

(2) to any duly
authorized representative of the Commission or other regulatory agency with jurisdiction over the Exchange requesting such information or to any duly authorized representative of any other regulatory or self-regulatory organization with which the
Exchange, as approved by the Board, has entered into an information sharing agreement;

(3) as required by law;

privileges will be non-transferable and will be available as to any particular contract only to a COMEX Division Member who is an individual owner of COMEX
Division Memberships as of the date six months prior to the date trading in that contract commences, and will continue as to that contract only for so long as such COMEX Division Member continues to own a COMEX Division Membership;

(6) Proprietary trading in Platinum/Palladium Contracts, including through an Electronic Trading System if such contract is listed thereon
for trading; and

(7) Proprietary trading until November 20, 2011 (unless such privileges are extended in accordance
with Section 105(F)) of contracts traded on the NYMEX Division, through an Electronic Trading System, on terms set forth in Section 105(F).

(B) NYMEX Division Members shall have the following trading rights on the COMEX Division (in the case of clauses (3) and (4) below) and the NYMEX Division (in the case of clauses (1) and (2) below)
in addition to their other trading rights and privileges on the NYMEX Division:

(E) If the Exchange at any time acquires, is acquired by or merges with or into or otherwise consolidates
with, another entity (or sells substantially all of its assets to or acquires substantially all of the assets of any such entity) (i) COMEX Division Members shall retain in the surviving or resulting entity all of their existing rights and
privileges under these By-Laws (to the extent that such rights have not expired in accordance with their terms) except that COMEX Division Members will not have trading rights on the surviving or resulting entity under Sections 157(A)(4) and
(5) (except those rights that were in existence with respect to contracts being traded at the time of the merger, acquisition, consolidation or sale of assets) and (ii) NYMEX shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain trading
rights in the surviving or resulting entity for subsequent New Contracts.

(F) COMEX Division Members will have the right to receive an
amount equal to $10 million (to be distributed among the holders of COMEX Division memberships pro rata, based on the number of memberships owned of record by each of them on the effective date of the registration statement referred to
below) upon the receipt by NYMEX of the net proceeds of a NYMEX IPO (as hereinafter defined); provided, however, that NYMEX shall deposit $500,000 into an account which shall be used to pay for the costs and expenses associated with protecting the
interests of the COMEX Members. These amounts shall be disbursed at the written direction of the Governors Committee and shall be used to pay for the costs and expenses associated with protecting the interest of the COMEX Division Members. Any
amounts deposited pursuant to this Section 157(F) shall be the property of the COMEX Division Members as they may be from time to time. NYMEX IPO means a public offering for cash of equity securities pursuant to a registration

Section 158. ADDITIONAL COMEX DIVISION MEMBER RIGHTS

In addition to the privileges set forth in Section 157 and any other rights contained in these By-Laws, COMEX Division Members shall also have the
following member rights:

(A) Open Outcry. Until November 20, 2011, NYMEX will not eliminate, suspend or restrict open outcry
trading of any COMEX Core Product (regardless of size) or any COMEX Division Replacement Contract. After November 20, 2011, the Board may eliminate, suspend or restrict open outcry trading of any COMEX Core Product or any COMEX Division
Replacement Contract in its sole discretion.

(1) For as long as open outcry exists on the COMEX Division, the COMEX
Division Members shall have the exclusive right to trade COMEX Core Products (regardless of size), and any COMEX Division Replacement Contracts, on the floor via open outcry. This right includes the trading of futures and options on COMEX Core
Products and COMEX Division Replacement Contracts and the ability to post EFPs for such contracts on the floor of the Exchange; provided, however, that nothing in this Section shall affect the rights of COMEX Option Members to trade pursuant to the
Rules.

(2) Trading Hours. NYMEX will consult with (but will not be required to obtain the approval of) the COMEX
Governors Committee before proposing any change to open outcry trading hours for any COMEX Division contracts traded via open outcry. In addition, NYMEX may only change COMEX open outcry trading hours (i) if, within 15 days of the issuance of
written notice to the COMEX Division Members proposing such changes, there is no written demand for a COMEX Division Member meeting to vote on such changes made by 10% or more of the 772 COMEX Division memberships eligible to vote or (ii) if
such written demand for a meeting is made by the owners representing 10% or more of the 772 COMEX memberships within 15 days after the issuance of a written notice then by the approval of the eligible voters representing at least a majority of the
COMEX memberships actually voting (in person or by proxy) at a member meeting. The provisions of this Section 158(A)(1) shall not apply to a temporary change on business days preceding an official Exchange holiday or to any temporary change in
trading hours implemented by the Exchange in response to a physical or other emergency.

(3) Contract Specifications.
(a) Until November 20, 2011 and except as otherwise provided in Section 158(A)(2), NYMEX will not establish or amend the contract terms and conditions of COMEX Core Products traded by open outcry (regardless of size), or any COMEX Division
Replacement Contracts traded by open outcry, without the prior approval of the COMEX Governors Committee, in its sole discretion. This provision does not apply to COMEX Core Products (regardless of size) traded exclusively via electronic means.

(b) After November 20, 2011, NYMEX will have complete discretion to establish or amend the terms and conditions of
COMEX Core Products (and any COMEX Division Replacement Contracts) to the extent necessary in order for the Exchange to meet competitive conditions with respect to such COMEX Contracts.



12



---

(c) Until November 20, 2011, NYMEX will first consult with (but will not be required
to obtain the approval of) the COMEX Governors Committee prior to establishing or changing any terms and conditions for any New Metals Contracts.

(B) Facility. (1) For as long as open outcry trading exists on the COMEX Division (but in all events until November 20, 2011), NYMEX shall (i) maintain the COMEX Divisions current facility for such open outcry
market, or a facility comparable thereto, for the dissemination of price information and for open outcry trading, clearing and delivery, (ii) provide reasonable financial support for technology, marketing and research for open outcry markets,
and (iii) subject to Section 158(B)(2) and (3), provide reasonable floor space at such facility for open outcry trading of COMEX contracts.

(2) NYMEX will not reduce current COMEX Division floor space before November 20, 2009 without the prior consent of the COMEX Governors Committee in its sole discretion.

(3) Beginning November 20, 2009 through November 20, 2011, no reduction in the aggregate size of current COMEX Division floor
space may be made to reduce the aggregate size of COMEX current floor space if average daily COMEX Core Product open outcry volume in any consecutive six-month period (on a rolling six-month basis commencing six months prior to November 20,
2009) is less than 40% of volume levels based on the average daily volume for the three-month period August 1, 2006 through October 31, 2006; any such reduction should be in proportion to the level of volume decrease. For example, in the
event that COMEX volume were to drop 50% for a six-month period in year 5 (as compared with the base volume figure), the floor space may be reduced up to 50%. The calculations pursuant to this provision shall not include any period in which the
Board has taken emergency action.

(C) Membership Privileges

(1) NYMEX may not impose membership transfer restrictions on COMEX Division Members that are more restrictive than those imposed on NYMEX
Division Members.

(2) NYMEX may make changes to capital or eligibility requirements for becoming and maintaining Member or
non-Clearing Member Firm status; provided that any such changes that are material must be reasonably related to then-current market conditions and commonly accepted industry practices. Notwithstanding anything in this paragraph or in these By-Laws
(including, without limitation, Section 601) all clearing members for COMEX Division contracts shall be required to own at least two COMEX trading rights as a condition for such clearing membership.



13



---

(3)(a) For products traded electronically, NYMEX shall provide COMEX Division Members
with the same electronic trading privileges provided to NYMEX Division Members in NYMEX By-Law Section 311(F)(1), as may be amended from time to time; provided that any additional ability to lease or license electronic trading privileges or
creation of additional electronic trading privileges associated with a NYMEX Class A Membership provided to NYMEX Division Members shall also be provided to COMEX Division Members. Nothing in this subsection shall prohibit NYMEX from providing
additional electronic trading privileges in accordance with Section 158(E).

(b) NYMEX will have the right to require
that COMEX Division Member Firms hold two COMEX trading rights plus the associated equity for those trading rights if legally permitted. If at any time member firms are required to hold equity, then the COMEX Governors Committee will be entitled to
create a new floor broker membership classification. A Floor Broker who wished to qualify under such category (i) would be required to hold two COMEX Division trading rights but would not be required to retain the associated equity
and (ii) would be entitled to have two bona fide employees, who may be COMEX Division lessees or licensees who will be permitted to trade on behalf of the floor broker and/or his customers without a lessee or licensee surcharge.

(4) COMEX Division Members and COMEX Option Members life insurance, disability, health and other welfare benefit plans,
programs, policies and arrangements (as applicable) (other than the COMEX MRRP) shall remain in effect to the same extent as NYMEX Division Members. COMEX Division Members and COMEX Option Members rights under the Recognition and
Retention Plan for Members of Commodity Exchange, Inc. (the COMEX MRRP) shall continue to be governed by the terms of the COMEX MRRP and unaffected by these By-Laws.

(D) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Board may take whatever action necessary in response to an Emergency as set forth in Article 7 of
these By-Laws as well as any other action as may be required by applicable law or regulation; provided, however, that the Board will use all commercially reasonable efforts to take the steps necessary to ensure that any action taken or rule enacted
pursuant to an emergency action is temporary in nature and is consistent with the rights granted under this Section 158.

(E)
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the By-Laws:

(1) The
Board will have the right to list electronically for both overnight and side-by-side (i.e., electronically and open outcry trading simultaneously during regular trading hours) trading all COMEX Division contracts. This will include the
full-size and miNY gold, silver, copper and Eurotop 100 contracts. In addition, New Metals contracts may be listed electronically (or otherwise) under the same parameters and NYMEX ClearPort®Clearing contracts on metals products may be listed for clearing. In addition, the Board will have the right to create a mechanism to
post EFPs electronically.

(2) The Board, in its sole discretion, shall have the ability to make additional electronic
trading privileges available to trade the products as set forth above without limitation subject to Sections 105(G) and 158(C)(3)(a).
