                       through three common interfaces using standard data formats and are
                       delivered via the Exchange's network. This allows flexibility to adapt rapidly
                       to future trading requirements.

                       The three generic interfaces are:
                       •   the broadcast interface - for bulk delivery of information to subscribers
                       •   the interactive request interface - for re-requesting broadcasts from
                           our information service and for Own Order Book downloads and Own
                           Trades Order Book download (OTBD)
                       •   the secure interactive interface - for entering transactions to the
                           Exchange’s trading system.
                       Please refer to TIS102 (Interface Specification) for detailed information of
                       these interfaces.

                              SECTION 2

                              TRADING SYSTEM AND SERVICES
2.1      Introduction         Section 2 presents an overview of the Exchange’s trading system and the
                              services that are currently supported. Readers who require a more detailed
                              understanding of these services should refer to the ‘Guide to Trading
                              Services’ document which is available on our website at:
http://www.londonstockexchange.com/NR/rdonlyres/EC177CD0-839C-42A0-B853-5727DC6D272A/0/2426.doc

2.2      Trading              The trading system is based upon a common business infrastructure which
                              has the following components:
         Infrastructure
                              •     Market
                              •     Market Segments
                              •     Market Segment Rules
                              •     Market Sectors
                              •     Tradable Instruments in Market Segments
                              •     Member in Segment
                              •     Period Rules
                              These components are described in more detail in Section 3 of the Interface
                              Specification (Ref: TIS102).

                              In summary, the Exchange has the ability to configure a number of system
                              rules which, when applied, allow for flexible trading environments. This
                              approach allows for the combination of sets of different rules (governing, for
                              example, trade publication, minimum and maximum quote and order sizes,
                              execution rules) into market segments, so that different market segments
                              can be established and operated according to different conventions, as
                              market and regulatory conditions require.

                              The architecture and application components that deliver the infrastructure of
                              the trading system, and the secure interactive interface across which access
                              is provided, combine to form the basis of all the Exchange's trading services.
                              All of the trading services are provided from a single technical platform,
                              across a single interface, and can only be accessed remotely across this
                              interface.

                              The trading facilities within the system provide scope for combining system
                              functions in a range of different ways that can be used to provide additional
                              trading services - or to refine existing ones as the demand arises.

2.3   Trading           All Trading Services are provided over the Secure Interactive Interface. This
                        interface is used exclusively for the communication of messages between
      Interface         participants and the trading system. Some of the key features of the secure
                        interactive interface are as follows:
                         •     Messages are authenticated
                         •     Requests cannot be cancelled
                         •     Each request has a single response
                         •     The Exchange system may send unsolicited messages
                         For more information about the trading interface please refer to Interface
                         Specification document (Ref: TIS102).

                         Participants log-on to the trading system via the secure interactive interface
                         and submit request messages. Each request message from a participant is
                         immediately authenticated and if authentication is successful, acknowledged
                         by a response message. In addition, the Exchange system is able to send
                         the participant unsolicited messages that relate to events within the trading
                         system affecting the participant, for example, execution of an order the
                         participant had previously entered. The participant must acknowledge the
                         unsolicited message on receipt.

                         The response messages are returned on the same connection as the
                         request message was sent. Response messages will be returned as the
                         Exchange completes the processing of a particular message. These
                         responses may be returned in a different sequence from that of the original
                         request messages. The message reference number allows the participant to
                         match the response with the corresponding request message.

                         If there are multiple active connections for the same USAP then unsolicited
                         messages will be spread across them.

                          FTSE 250 securities, equities that have a LIFFE traded equity option. The

                          and plays a vital part in maintaining London's position as Europe's leading
                          financial centre. It ensures that London is equipped to handle the huge and
                          growing volumes of business that are transacted on its markets - allowing
                          market users to trade efficiently and cost-effectively.

                          Order Types
                                                                                                    TM
                          There are three different types of order that apply to SETS on TradElect
                          •   limit order - a priced persistent order which will remain on the order book
                              until it expires, is deleted or is fully executed against incoming orders
                          •   market order - an unpriced persistent order which will remain on the
                              order book until it expires, is deleted or is fully executed against
                              incoming orders. Market Orders are only enabled for entry in the call
                              period of an auction
                               Please note that all un-priced orders left on the book after the
                               uncrossing process has completed are automatically removed prior to
                               continuous trading beginning
                          •   Iceberg order - a priced persistent order that will remain on the book until
                              it expires, is deleted or is fully executed against incoming orders.
                              Participants must populate the price, ‘total’ size and ‘peak’ size. The
                              peak size is the volume of the order that is visible and appears to the
                              market as a limit order. It will always be less than or equal to the total
                              size of the Iceberg order. The total size minus peak size equals the
                              amount of volume that is hidden from the market. When a peak is fully
                              executed it is replaced by a new peak from the hidden volume until the
                              iceberg is fully matched, modified or deleted.
                          The AD version of the 5EO Enter Order message uses a market mechanism
                          to identify a combination of both the order type (eg Limit Order), and its
                          execution type (eg Fill or Kill - Aggressive Type B). The new AE version of
                          the 5EO Enter Order message explicitly uses a new ‘Validity Type’ field to
                          describe the execution constraints of an order. Validity can be categorised
                          into three different types; execution based validity (eg Execute and
                          Eliminate), time based validity (eg Good Till Time) and period based validity
                          (eg at the close).

                          Both limit and market orders are persistent and are displayed anonymously.
                          Please note that all un-priced orders left on the book after the uncrossing
                          process has completed are automatically removed prior to continuous
                          trading beginning. They are displayed anonymously. Incoming orders, which
                          can only be submitted by SETS participants, are executed against them.
                          Orders are executed in strict priority of price and time so that, at a given
                          price, the oldest orders are executed first.

                          The new Period based validity type introduces the concept of Parked Orders,
                          allowing both the entry and removal of the order to be based upon a specific
                          period based transition. An order submitted by a Participant will be held in
                          the system until the applicable period is reached, at which point it is passed
                          onto the order book. Whilst the order is held by the system it is not publicly
                          visible and does not participate in continuous trading/auctions. However, it
                          may still be modified and deleted. Whilst parked, the order will maintain time
                          priority in line with all other orders that have been parked for that particular
                          instrument. Also, when modified, it follows the same rules as it would on the
                          order book to determine whether price/time priority is maintained.

                          As the period becomes effective the order will be ‘injected’ into the order
                          book as if the Participant had at that point submitted the order themselves.
                          The order will then either execute against any valid orders or remain on the
                          book. The transitioning of the period can also control the removal of the

TRADING SYSTEMS AND SERVICES                                                                     TIS101

                         order, if it has not already been fully executed. Validity types such as ‘At the
                         Open’ (ATO) will be entered at the start of the Auction Call period and if not
                         executed, removed before transitioning into continuous trading.

                         Orders may be modified by changing the absolute price and/or the relative
                         size of the order. The current system will also allow the modification of an
                         order’s Participant Reference, Date/Time Validity and/or Client Reference
                         without also having to change either the price or size, or losing time/price
                         priority.

                         An incoming order may execute against many orders on the book.

                         Trades generated from automatically executed orders are published
                         immediately and automatically. No separate trade report is required.

                         The information presented here and throughout the remainder of section 2 is
                         meant to give a brief outline of the trading services that are available on our
                         systems. Readers should refer to our ‘Guide to Trading Services’ document
                         for a more in depth understanding of how these services operate.

2.5   SETSmm –          SETSmm is similar to the SETS order book. The main difference is that price
                        formation centres around a central order book with registered market makers
      Service Content   entering Enhanced Executable Quotes providing two-way prices during the
                        mandatory trading period (08:00 – 16:35).

                        Market makers are obliged to provide prices and liquidity throughout the
                        trading day according to the same principles as today on SEAQ.

                        SETSmm is the London Stock Exchange’s trading service for Mid Cap, Small
                        Cap, Dual Listed Irish Securities and the constituents of the AIM 50 index. By
                        combining the best features of the existing SETS and SEAQ trading services,
                        SETSmm appeals to market users who want to trade electronically, as well
                        as those customers who use the market making system.

2.6   SEAQ – Service    SEAQ provides an automated quotations service for domestic UK securities
                        not included in SETS, SETSmm or SETSqx. In common with all the trading
      Content           services, access to SEAQ is via the secure interactive interface and it
                        supports the following key functions:
                         •     Quote entry, maintenance and closure by registered market makers
                               using enhanced quotes with a ‘FQ’ market mechanism
                         •     Trade report entry and correction
                         The service continues to support the operation of the competing market
                         maker mechanism in the UK.

                         The FQ enhanced quote provides the convenience of a single message for
                         submission of a two-way price and does not interact with the order book in
                         any way and is treated purely as a price display mechanism. Registered
                         market makers are also able to close individual quotes or all quotes in a
                         market segment.

                         SEAQ supports the entry of trade reports in domestic securities. All delayed
                         trade processing is automated, so that block trades can be reported
                         electronically to the Exchange and an electronic pre-release facility is
                         provided to allow participants to automate the early release of block trades
                         when unwound according to the Exchange's rules.

2.7      SEATS PLUS -                This service will no longer be available when TradElect goes live. These
                                     securities will be transferred to SETSqx as part of the Exchange’s
         Service Content             commitment to align it's trading services. For more information please refer
                                     to the SETSqx service and technical description available at:

                                     SETSqx will have similar functionality to the SEAQ quote based market
2.8      SETSqx –                    model with the addition of an order display facility that periodically uncrosses
         Service Content             (to enable compliance with MiFID requirements). Unlike SETS and SETSmm,
                                     this service is not designed to support continuous order book trading.

                                     Market makers will continue to provide non-electronically executable quotes
                                     and liquidity throughout the trading day according to the same rules as on
                                     SEAQ. Today brokers either need to phone market makers or use their
                                     proprietary RSP systems to execute their business. SETSqx will additionally
                                     offer the opportunity to enter orders into the central trading system so
                                     satisfying MiFID limit order display requirements and provide the option to set
                                     their own price. Both named and anonymous order entry are supported by
                                     SETSqx.

2.9      International               The International Order Book is a fully electronic, ‘SETS style’ trading service
                                     provided by the London Stock Exchange to support trading in Global
         Order Book –                Depositary Receipts and American Depositary Receipts.
         Service
         Content                     The International Order Book is a trading service operated by the London
                                     Stock Exchange and is available to all member firms.

                                     The International Order Book supports all SETS order types with the addition
                                     of a named order type. Named orders make use of the Committed Principal
                                     (CP) order type to identify the participant behind the order.

                                     Named Orders work similarly to a limit order on the order book. These
                                     orders can only be input in a principal dealing capacity. All other order types
                                     are able to execute against a named order.

                                     Certain sectors within IOB are auction only sectors. In these sectors
                                     continuous execution is disabled and the order operates as a continuous
                                     auction call with three uncrossing periods a day. These are currently at
                                     11:00, 14:00 and 15:40.

2.10 International                   The International Retail Service (IRS) is a quote-driven trading service for
                                     international equity market securities. This service operates in the same way
     Retail                          as SEAQ. In addition to the key features of the quote book the following
     Service –                       characteristics also apply to IRS:

                                           (excluding Walt Disney)

                                     This service is split into 'ISD regulated' and 'non-ISD regulated' segments.
                                     This differentiation has been introduced to allow for clear identification of
                                     those securities captured by the suite of directives being implemented over
                                     the next few years as part of the European Union’s Financial Services Action
                                     Plan (FSAP).

                                     Securities admitted to trading in the ISD regulated segments will be, in the
                                     main, those with a listing with an EU competent authority. These securities
                                     will become subject to the suite of FSAP Directives as they are implemented
                                     over time.

                                     Securities which are not listed within the EU need not be admitted to a
                                     regulated market and will not be subject to European (ISD) regulation.

                                     Note that there is no difference in the operation of the ISD and non-ISD
                                     regulated segments, and the differentiation is not applied to the trading day
                                     model. It is purely a mechanism for the differentiation between securities that
                                     are subject to different levels of European regulation.

2.11 International                   The International Bulletin Board (ITBB) is part of the International Order
                                     Book (IOB) market offered by the Exchange for equity trading. Whilst offering
     Bulletin Board                  the same advantages of electronic execution as that of IOB, this mechanism
                                     also offers the opportunity for participants to register as Market Makers to
                                     support trading liquidity.

                                     Certain sectors within ITBB are auction only sectors. In these sectors
                                     continuous execution is disabled and the order book operates as a
                                     continuous auction call with three uncrossing periods a day. These are
                                     currently at 11:00, 14:00 and 15:40.

                                     Unlike IOB which uses Named Orders, ITBB uses the new 5EQ Enter
                                     Enhanced Quote messages. The enhanced quote can continue supporting
                                     the existing (nonexecuting) firm quotes in addition to the new functionality as
                                     follows. The enhanced quote provides the convenience of a single message
                                     for submission of a two way price, but has the added advantage of treating
                                     the two prices as individual executable objects. This results in behaviour
                                     more closely resembling an order, and makes it possible to choose whether
                                     the quote is executable or not. This is achieved through the ‘Market
                                     Mechanism Type’ that must specify either ‘EQ’ for an executable quote or
                                     ‘FQ’ for a (nonexecutable) firm quote.

2.12 Covered           The Key elements of the Covered Warrant Service are as follows:
     Warrants –
     Service Content   Trading takes place in a continuous execution environment where liquidity
                       providers known as Committed Principals (CPs) have an obligation to
                       provide two way prices throughout the trading day and for the lifetime of the
                       covered warrant. Other market participants can execute against these
                       orders. In effect, this provides an automated ‘market making’ model.

                       Prices will be subject to a price monitoring check before execution takes
                       place. If a price is entered that is more than a specified value away from the
                       previously traded price, a suspension will be triggered

                       The market model for covered warrants has the following characteristics:
                       •   a pre-trade, “price-orientation” period between 8:05 and 8:15.
                           Executable Enhanced Quotes can be entered or deleted during this
                           period.
                       •   a Mandatory Committed Principal period from 8:15 – where market
                           participants can only enter aggressive orders, executing against

2.13 Exchange          Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) give private investors the chance to buy
                       whole indices as easily as buying a share on the London Stock Exchange.
     Traded Funds      This creates real opportunities – widening the reach of portfolios and making
                       top-down investment more cost-effective. For brokers, ETFs also present a
                       growing opportunity – to offer an attractive new product that trades and
                       settles in exactly the same way as shares.

                       ETFs are in the ETFS segment which is a SETSmm type environment. This
                       allows price formation around a central order book with registered market
                       makers entering executable enhanced quotes providing two-way prices
                       during the mandatory trading period (08:00 – 16:45).

                       All business executed via the ETFS order book will be covered by the
                       existing Central Counterparty (CCP) Service for Equities with settlement
                       netting.

2.14 Exchange          The trading mechanism for ETCs is the same as the ETF segment in every
                       respect and will support products such as gold bullion and oil. Trades will be
     Traded            cleared by the clearer.

2.15 Multiple            The London Stock Exchange supports the markets of additional exchanges
                         through the provision of its technology services.
     Markets
                         The Exchanges Trading and Information Systems support multiple market
                         functionality to facilitate:
                         •     the sharing of reference data
                         •     local time conversion
                         •     access to the systems on public holidays
                         Additional market specific functionality will also be supported where required.

                         The Exchange supports the JSE Ltd (“JSE”). Trading on the Namibian Stock
                         Exchange (“NSX”), for whom the JSE currently provide technology, is also
                         supported by the LSE.

                         A detailed Market and Trading functionality overview for the JSE and NSX

2.16 Own Order Book      Participants are able to download details of all their own orders currently
                         held on the central order book. Order details in all relevant trading services
     Download –          are transmitted via the interactive interface in ascending order code
     Service Content     sequence. This facility provides opportunities for reconciliation of central
                         and local order book details, and provides scope for full recovery in the event
                         that a participant should lose all or part of their order book held on their own
                         systems.

                         This service uses the Interactive Request Interface. This interface is briefly
                         described in section 3.3. For detailed information please refer to the
                         Interface Specification TIS102.

                         The interactive request interface allows subscribers to log-on to the
                         Exchange's system and submit interactive request messages. The
                         Exchange system supports re-requests of broadcast messages by
                         subscribers through the Message Retrieval service.

                         To use the Own Order Book Download service, the user must be a market
                         participant. A market participant is a user entering information, for example
                         limit orders. The responses to the request message details all orders that the
                         participant had open on the Exchange's Order Book at the time of the
                         request.

2.17 Own Trades      The OTBD is a service offering similar functionality to the current Own Order
                     Book Download (OOBD). This will give a Trader Group the ability to request
     Book Download   a download of their own trade reports, providing they still reside on the
     – Service       system. The request may be filtered by specifying any of the following
     Content         conditions:

                     •   Date: The request must be for a trade date that is within the period that
                         trades are stored on the trading system – currently 3 working days. This
                         is a mandatory field.
                     •   Instrument: The request may be specific to a particular instrument, which
                         if used must include the Country of Register and Currency Code.

                     •   Trade Status: The request may specify trades of a particular status; if it
                         is matched, cancelled or awaiting cancellation.
                     •   Execution Type: The request may specify to include automatic trades,
                         manual trades or both.
                     •   Client Reference Code: The request may specify a client reference
                         code. Manual trades will only populate the first 15 characters of this 30

                           SECTION 3

                           BROADCAST SERVICES – INFOLECT
3.1      Introduction      This section presents an overview of the information feed and interfaces that
                           make up the Exchange’s Information system and then gives a description of
                           each of the Broadcast services that are currently available over this feed.

3.2      Information       Broadcast services are currently provided to subscribers over the
                           Exchange’s digital information feed known as Infolect. Subscribers to these
         Feed – Infolect   services are able to receive broadcasts and re-request messages.

                           The information disseminated over the broadcast feed by the Exchange is
                           divided into a number of logical services. Each service consists of one or
                           more service channels, with each service channel being made up of one or
                           more message types. Messages are broadcast in real-time, as they are
                           generated.

                           JSE customers use Broadcast Data Groups instead of Service Channels.

                           Subscribers receive broadcast and interactive data on the same physical line
                           up to the maximum bandwidth that has been configured for that subscriber.
                           Broadcast data and Interactive services do not affect each other.

                           Service Channels are recoverable. Authorised subscribers are able to
                           request the re-transmission of any missed broadcast message using the
                           Message Retrieval service (see Interactive Request Interface in the Interface
                           Specification, TIS102 guide).

                           Messages in Broadcast Services

                           In order to reflect the flexibility of the trading system service channels are
                           structured to include all messages it would be possible to use, given the
                           range of trading functionality available. However, not all messages within a
                           service channel will be used at any given time. The messages that can be
                           sent down each service channel are detailed in later sections. Additional
                           information on individual messages is detailed in the Data Formats
                           document (Ref: TIS104).

3.3   Interfaces used    Bulk delivery of information to subscribers is provided via the Broadcast
                         Interface. Please refer to Section 1 of the Interface Specification guide
      for the            TIS102 for more details of this interface.
      Broadcast
      Services           Subscribers can re-request broadcast messages via the Interactive Request
                         Interface. Please refer to Section 2 of the Interface Specification guide
                         TIS102 for more details of this interface.

                         The interactive request interface allows subscribers to log-on to the
                         Exchange’s system and submit interactive request messages. The re-
                         request of broadcast messages by subscribers is supported through the
                         Message Retrieval service. Market participants may request details of all
                         their open orders using the Own Order Book Download service. Market
                         participants may request details of all their trades still residing on the trading
                         system using the Own Trades Book Download service.

                         Each request message from a subscriber is immediately acknowledged by a
                         reply message. The reply may be followed by a sequence of further
                         messages, which are not acknowledged by the subscriber. In addition, the
                         subscriber is able to cancel a request that has not been completely
                         processed.

                         If a number of request messages are sent in, only one is satisfied at a time.
                         The subscriber can assign a priority to each request message. The message
                         priority is used to determine which of the subscriber's requests to satisfy first.
                         If two request messages have the same priority, they are processed in the
                         order in which the Exchange receives them. A more recent higher priority
                         request message is processed before any lower priority requests are
                         completed.

                         Broadcast data is controlled and enabled by the Exchange and will never run
                         beyond the bandwidth supplied to a customer by the Exchange. Interactive
                         traffic is dependent on the volume of request messages submitted by a
                         subscriber and the bandwidth available.
