| Just a reminder that as of June 17, 2002 you will begin receiving orders for NYMEX e-miNYSM energy products� e-miNYSM Crude Oil [ticker symbol: QM] and e-miNYSM Natural Gas [ticker symbol: QG]. These new products will be traded solely on GLOBEX� nearly around the clock Mondays through Thursday from 3:15 p.m. to 2:30 p.m. (New York time) the next day. Trading on Sundays begins at 7:00 p.m. (New York time). There is no trading on Saturdays. Although the NYMEX e-miNY will trade on GLOBEX, they will be cleared through NYMEX. It is important that your customers realize this and have made the appropriate clearing arrangements. CME customers wishing to trade other, full-size NYMEX products electronically will do so via the NYMEX electronic marketplace, ACCESS�. CME customers trading NYMEX products may also benefit from a cross-margining program that offers capital efficiencies for market professionals and proprietary accounts. This is achieved by combining the positions of joint or affiliated clearing members in baskets of CME, NYMEX or COMEX Division commodities, the new e-miNYSM energy products, and GSCI� futures and options into a single portfolio.
