Notice Number CM#0046
Attention:�. THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 30, 2000 THE CME CSS (CLEARING SETTLEMENT SYSTEM) IS GOING AWAY. THIS IS THE SYSTEM WHERE YOU CHECK YOUR INTRA-DAY MARGIN CALLS!!! YOU MUST USE THE CLEARING 21� SETTLEMENT SYSTEM INSTEAD.

Firms who already have access to Clearing 21� should start using the Settlement application now. Do not wait until the last minute to get your security access updated or worse, request access to C21 via CITRIX through the FIN or dial-up a few days before the deadline. On Friday, December 1 st , CSS will be removed from your 3270 Application Selection Menu and will not be accessible to anyone! Security Access and Assistance

If you do not have the proper security access, please submit an on-line access form to the Customer Support Group and request access. Forms may be obtained at the Client Management pages. If your firm has users that will need access, or need assistance please have them call Mahmoud Ajamia (312-634-1595, majamia@cme.com) in Client Management and he will forward the necessary training documentation and/or CITRIX access information and software to facilitate access to Settlement and Performance Bond information. There will be ONE MORE FINAL notice sent regarding to this change. Please forward this notice on to all staff within your organization that need to access Settlement and Performance Bond information for your firm. If you have any questions, please contact Karen F.
