Trade Workflow Mechanics
9
Straight Through Processing allows for real-time clearing and trade confirmations
1 – Dealer and Client agree to trade
2 – Dealer alleges swap to Client through the Affirmation Platform
3 – Client selects Clearing Member and verifies the swap through the Affirmation Platform
4 – Affirmation Platform sends the matched trade between Dealer and Client to CME Clearing House
5 – CME checks for validation of the product, account and applies credit limits set by Clearing member(s), and then accepts the swap for clearing
5 – CME sends “Cleared” notification back to the Affirmation Platform which displays the “Cleared” Status to each party
5 – CME sends a Clearing Confirmation to Clearing Member(s) once all is validated

Superior Customer Protections
13
CME Clearing is the industry leader in mitigating risk for customers through the US FCM clearing model
LSOC Without Netting Variation Margin
Client- Specific Excess Margin
CME Safekeeping Accounts
• In an FCM default, CME Clearing will discontinue netting variation gains and losses within the defaulted FCM’s cleared swaps customer account with CME Clearing on a post-default basis
• By discontinuing Variation Margin netting, CME will better protect non-defaulting customers by helping them keep their positions intact while porting them to another FCM with as much collateral as possible
• LSOC Phase 2 (LSOC with Excess) will launch on Monday, April 22 • CME will accept excess customer funds from an FCM. The FCM must submit a daily Collateral
Value Report (CVR) to specify the value of each individual • The CVR given to CME Clearing identifies for each customer the amount of collateral protected
from being used to meet the obligation of another customer
• Proposed account structure aims to let end-customers meet their margin obligations at FCM’s via third-party custodial accounts
• Allows end-customers to utilize custodial account arrangements and use assets held in those accounts to meet margin obligations
• CME, an FCM, an end-customer, and a custodian bank will execute a quad-party custody arrangement to facilitate the CME Safekeeping account transactions
© 2013 CME Group. All rights reserved
• Expected to cover extreme scenarios that are optimally addressed using a mutualized pool rather than margins
• GF Sizing considerations include risk, capital usage and charges , stakeholders’ incentives, and portability concerns during periods of default
• Additional collateral that can be called upon should all previous layers of the waterfall are exhausted
• Caps the limited resource waterfall
• Contribution set aside by CME to help cure a default prior to dipping into the survivors’ funds
• Each Member’s contribution to the GF
• Liquidity charge accounts for protecting large concentrated portfolios whose closeout could cost more or take longer than baseline timeframe
• Initial Margin is used to cover day-to-day P/L moves
1 The actual amounts will be based on the sum of the third and fourth largest net debtor profiles

Customer Account Portability
15
Portability of customer positions and collateral is a cornerstone of CME customer protections
• Clients maintaining accounts at multiple clearing members are able to control the timing and pacing of their porting transactions
• In the agency model, clients “own” their positions
• The agency model supports portability; at CME this is a matter of routine and standard practice
CUSTOMER CONTROLLED PORTABILITY “TRANSFERS”
Establishing and managing accounts at multiple clearing members
• In September 2008, CME seamlessly ported all $2.2 billion of customer funds and 2.5 million customer positions from Lehman Brothers to a solvent clearing member
• In wholesale porting transactions, CME balances the need to assure client safety with recalibration of financial safeguards to minimize stress in the financial system
PROVEN SUCCESS IN CUSTOMER PORTABILITY
Wholesale porting from stressed to solvent clearing members
• Portability is essential to customer protection, both in times of market stress and during the normal course of business
• Portability is underpinned by CME Rule 853, governing transfers of trades

Portfolio Margining Overview
16
CME Group has administered a range of cross-margining programs for more than 20 years
With market leading Interest Rate products and the launch of Cleared OTC Interest Rate Swaps in 2010, CME is able to offer both customer and house accounts capital efficiencies for Cleared OTC Interest Rate Swaps and Eurodollar and Treasury Futures
Since the launch of Portfolio Margining in May 2012, firms are already taking advantage of this service and seeing significant savings and the first customer portfolio margining occurred in March
The risk reduction achieved by this program has shown capital efficiencies of up to 90% for certain portfolios – figures that remain unparalleled in the industry
• Total risk reductions now account for over $1 billion in initial margin savings
• Clearing Members can reduce their own regulatory and guaranty fund capital costs by facilitating portfolio margining for clients

Methodology
18
IRS Margin Methodology
Historical VaR
Margins built to provide 99% coverage over a 5-day closeout period Historical scenarios are: Generated using a 5-year look back period Synchronized across all observed tenors on the zero curve, across all currencies Scaled using Exponentially Weighted Moving Average (EWMA) based volatility forecasts
Margin is currently the 99.7th % of portfolio changes (loss) across all scenarios
For cross margining Eurodollar and Treasury Futures with IRS, CME will leverage the current multi-currency Historical VaR framework
Reasoning
CME uses Treasury Future prices and Eurodollar prices (themselves) as an underlying risk factor, as it accounts for risks including: Switch of the Cheapest-to-Deliver (CTD) (applies Treasury Futures) Delivery timing (applies to Treasury Futures) Changes in the convexity adjustment (applies to Eurodollars) Covers extremely well-hedged portfolios (applies to Eurodollars)
Application Apply HVaR methodology to Eurodollar and Treasury futures prices Create a rolling time series of returns (prices)
*Customer Portfolio Margining is targeted for 2H 2012 pending regulatory approval.

Maximum savings is up to 89%, based on back testing of portfolios from 2006 to 2011.
* Savings = [Gross Margin – Net Margin] / Gross Margin, where Gross Margin is the outright swap HVaR margin plus the futures SPAN margin (no offset benefit) and Net Margin is margining both swaps and futures in HVaR (with offset benefit).
** Values are rounded to nearest hundred thousand or ten thousand Dollars. These values do not include transaction costs and are subject to change, depending on market volatility.

Disclaimer Futures trading is not suitable for all investors, and involves the risk of loss. Futures are a leveraged investment, and because only a percentage of a contract’s value is required to trade, it is possible to lose more than the amount of money deposited for a futures position. Therefore, traders should only use funds that they can afford to lose without affecting their lifestyles. And only a portion of those funds should be devoted to any one trade because they cannot expect to profit on every trade.
All references to options refer to options on futures.
