Re:  SUPERSEDING PROVISIONS
for
Plan Name:  Chicago Board Option Exchange Executive Retirement Plan

 

(a)                      Superseding Provision(s) - The following provisions supersede other provisions of this Adoption Agreement and/or the Basic Plan Document as described below:

 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 1.04, for purposes of determining Employer Contributions under the Plan, Compensation shall include only base compensation and bonuses (including amounts deferred by the Participant under the Chicago Board Options Exchange Deferred Compensation Plan for Officers).  Compensation shall specifically exclude amounts contributed by the Employer under the Senior Executive Cafeteria Plan.

 

CBOE Seat Fund Executive Summary - Confidential

 

1.             New Investment Option.  Effective March 22, 2007, an additional investment option, the CBOE Seat Fund, will be available for the annual Discretionary Employer Contributions to the Chicago Board Options Exchange Executive Retirement Plan (the “Plan”).  This investment option will represent a hypothetical membership in CBOE and track the value of one CBOE seat.

 

2.             Valuation of Investment.  The initial aggregate value of the Seat Fund will be based upon the fair market value and a discount.  An independent financial advisory firm will recommend discount percentage.  The Fund will be valued monthly.  The average price of the last three seat sales for the applicable month will be used to determine the value of the hypothetical membership at the end of each month.

 

3.             Amount of Investment.  In lieu of the 6% discretionary contribution, for fiscal years ending 2006, 2007 and 2008 the CBOE contribution will be equal to $509,600.  This was calculated as follows:

 

Seat sale 3/12/07

 

$

2,270,000

 

Seat sale 3/12/07

 

$

2,200,000

 

Seat sale 3/1/07

 

$

1,900,000

 

Average

 

$

2,123,333

 

Discount = 28%

 

$

1,528,800

 

One third

 

$

509,600

 

 

The participant allocation formula will be based upon the percentage each participant normally receives from the total CBOE discretionary amount made to the plan.  For example, if the 6% total for all eligible participants is $500,000 and the participant’s 6% discretionary contribution for 2006 equals $50,000, this participant would receive 10% of $509,600, the seat value awarded, or $50,960.

 

19



 

4.             Vesting.  A participant’s interest in membership units of the Seat Fund would vest in the same manner as the balance of his or her accounts under the Plan.

 

5.             Distributions.  The Plan will make any distributions from the Seat Fund in cash equal to the market value of a membership unit as of the last preceding monthly valuation date prior to the distribution date.

 

If a participant’s termination of employment with CBOE occurs for any reason other than death, the balance of his or her account will be paid, as elected by the participant, in a single lump sum payment, or in annual installments over a period of ten or fewer years.  If payments are made in installments, the unpaid portion of the participant’s balance shall continue to be adjusted to reflect gains and losses.

 

In the event of a participant’s death, the entire unpaid balance of his or her account will be paid in a single lump sum, as soon as practicable after death, to his or her designated beneficiary.  Beneficiary designations are made by written instrument or other means prescribed by CBOE.

 

6.             Asset Transfer.  A participant may elect to liquidate his or her vested membership units in the “Seat Fund” and transfer the value to one or more of the investment options offered by Fidelity under the Plan, only by giving the Plan six months advance written notice.  The date of the transfer must be thirty-six (36) months or more from the date of share purchase.  The election to transfer shares will be irrevocable.  The value of the membership units liquidated under the Seat fund will be determined as of the date of transfer.

 

7.             Funding.  CBOE has established a rabbi trust to informally fund amounts payable under the Plan.  CBOE may decide to hold the seat purchased in 2006 in this rabbi trust or another rabbi trust.  Assets and investments under the rabbi trust continue to be treated as assets of the CBOE for all tax, financial and legal purposes.

 

8.             Expenses.  Although expenses are not anticipated, any expenses attributable to management or trusteeship of the Seat Fund will be charged against participants’ investments in the Fund, on a pro rata basis.

 

9.             Taxation of Earnings.  Earnings associated with the Seat Fund, will be taxed to the CBOE, either as the owner of the actual membership or as the grantor of the rabbi trust (if investments in the Seat Fund are funded through the trust).  However, a participant would be taxed on all amounts distributed to the participant from the Plan (e.g., upon employment termination).

 

10.          Demutualization.  If the CBOE were to demutualize and convert to stock ownership, the value of the membership units in the Seat Fund would be transferred to funds offered through the Executive Retirement Plan via Fidelity.

 

20


 

11.                               Change in Control.  Immediate vesting will occur upon a change of control of CBOE.  If a change of control occurs prior to the end of final payment of all membership units, the participant will not be required to fund the outstanding balance.  If elected by the participant, his or her entire interest in the Plan shall be distributed as soon as practicable after the date of consummation of a change of control.

 

For purposes of the Plan, a “Change in Control” of CBOE shall be deemed to occur on the effective time of (i) a merger or consolidation of CBOE with one or more other corporations as a result of which holders of the outstanding capital stock of CBOE entitled to vote for the election of directors (“Voting Stock”) of CBOE immediately prior to such merger hold less than 50% of the Voting Stock of the surviving or resulting corporation, or (ii) a transfer of substantially all of the property of CBOE other than to an entity of which CBOE owns at least 50% of the Voting Stock.

 

12.                               Termination for Cause.  If a participant’s employment with CBOE is terminated for Cause, the entire balance in his or her account is forfeited.  Cause is deemed to exist if, and only if:

 

(a)                                  The participant engages, during the performance of his or her duties for CBOE, in acts or omissions constituting dishonesty, intentional breach of fiduciary obligation or intentional wrongdoing or malfeasance;

 

(b)                                 The participant intentionally disobeys or disregards a lawful and proper direction of the Board, or

 

(c)                                  The participant materially breaches an employment agreement entered into with CBOE, and the breach is incapable of being cured or remains uncured for thirty days following receipt by the participant of written notice from CBOE specifying the nature of the breach and demanding its cure.

 

The following will not constitute Cause:

 

(a)                                  Any personal or policy disagreement between a participant and CBOE, or any member of CBOE or of the Board; or

 

(b)                                 Any action taken by a participant in connection with his or her duties for CBOE, or any failure to act, if the participant acted or failed to act in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in the best interests of CBOE, and he or she had no reason to believe the conduct was unlawful.

 

13.                               Amendment or Termination.  CBOE may amend or terminate the Plan at any time, but cannot reduce the account balance of a participant as of the effective date of the amendment or termination.

 

21



 

14.                               Conflict with Plan.  The information contained in this document is intended to provide a brief overview.  In the event of a conflict between the official Plan document and this summary, the official Plan document will prevail.
