<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt"><B>Item&nbsp;5.02 &nbsp;&nbsp;Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.</B>


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; text-indent: 8%">On December&nbsp;31, 2008, IntercontinentalExchange, Inc. (the &#147;Company&#148;) entered into amended and restated employment
agreements for Jeffrey C. Sprecher, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Charles A. Vice, President and Chief
Operating Officer, David S. Goone, Senior Vice President and Chief Strategic Officer, Edwin Marcial, Senior Vice
President and Chief Technology Officer and Scott A. Hill, Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer
(collectively, the &#147;Employment Agreements&#148;). The primary purpose of the amendments was to provide for certain changes
to the Employment Agreements that were intended to cause payments and benefits under the Employment Agreements to
comply with, or be exempt from, the requirements of Section&nbsp;409A of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended (&#147;Section
409A&#148;), which governs nonqualified deferred compensation arrangements. In addition to the Section&nbsp;409A changes,
certain other changes were also made, as described below.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; text-indent: 8%">The amendments made in respect of Section&nbsp;409A include, but are not limited to, changes to provide that upon
certain qualifying terminations, severance payments will be made in the form of a lump sum payment (whether the
qualifying termination occurs before or after a change in control), changes to narrow the definition of &#147;good reason&#148;
for an executive&#146;s resignation and other technical changes pertaining to the time and form of payment and the provision
of certain benefits.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; text-indent: 8%">The Company also made certain other amendments to the Employment Agreements to reflect changes that have occurred
in the Company&#146;s business since the Employment Agreements were originally executed. These changes include updates to
the terms of each executive&#146;s &#147;non-compete&#148; covenant to reflect the Company&#146;s current business description and
locations where it conducts business, technical changes to bring certain provisions into conformity across all
Employment Agreements, changes to narrow the definition of &#147;change of control&#148; and the scope of each executive&#146;s
non-solicitation covenant, and updates to the salary and bonus targets reflected in the Employment Agreements to
conform to the changes previously disclosed in the Current Report on Form 8-K, which was filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission on May&nbsp;20, 2008.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; text-indent: 8%">The descriptions of the amendments set forth above are not complete and are qualified in all respects by reference
to the Employments Agreements. Copies of the Employment Agreements are attached as Exhibits 10.1 through 10.5 to this
Current Report on Form 8-K and are incorporated herein by reference.
