I. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Terms of Substance 
of the Proposed Rule Change

    The Exchange proposes to amend Phlx's Pricing Schedule at Options 
7, Section 3, Rebates and Fees for Adding and Removing Liquidity in 
SPY, to pay a rebate to Customers and assess a fee to Non-Customers for 
executions against an order for which the Exchange broadcasts an order 
exposure alert in SPY. The Exchange also proposes to assess a stock 
handling fee for the stock leg of stock-option orders executed against 
other stock-option orders in the Complex Order Book in SPY. The 
Exchange proposes to amend Options 7, Section 4, Multiply Listed 
Options Fees (Includes options overlying equities, ETFs, ETNs and 
indexes which are Multiply Listed) (Excludes SPY and broad-based index 
options symbols listed within Options 7, Section 5.A), to assess a 
stock handling fee for the stock leg of stock-option orders executed 
against other stock-option orders in the Complex Order Book in 
multiply-listed options. The Exchange also proposes to increase a 
surcharge assessed to electronic Complex Orders that remove liquidity 
from the Complex Order Book and auctions, excluding PIXL, in Penny 
Symbols (excluding SPY).\5\
