This is a reminder that all new wireless LAN equipment must be specifically approved by CME technology staff prior to being
used on the trading floors. This includes PDA devices or routers with Bluetooth capability. CME offers connections to a
Common Wireless Infrastructure (known as CWI). Individuals interested in wireless computer connectivity can obtain an application
for the CWI Network from the customer service desks located on 3S or 7S adjacent to either trading floor. Please be advised that use of any unauthorized wireless communication equipment on the trading floor is strictly prohibited.
Violation of this policy will be considered to be contrary to CME Rules 507 ("Electronic Devices"), 432.Q. - ("Major Offenses
- to commit an act which is substantially detrimental to the interest or welfare of the Exchange") and/or Rule 433.B. - ("Minor
Offenses - to engage in uncommercial conduct"). Unauthorized wireless equipment will be immediately disconnected and removed
from the trading floor, and the users subject to disciplinary action. A copy of Rule 507 appears on the opposite side of
this Advisory. Should you have any questions please contact Laura Giacomino in Trading Floor Support at (312) 930-8259, Randall Bobula in
Network Services at (312) 466-7461, or James Moran in the Market Regulation Department at (312) 930-8520. Thank you for your
cooperation. 507. ELECTRONIC DEVICES 507.A. General Provisions The use of any electronic device on the trading floor is prohibited unless such device and/or usage has been authorized by
the Exchange. For purposes of this rule, the term "electronic device" shall mean any type of voice or data communications
interface, including but not limited to a computer, headset, hand-held device, microphone, telephone, or two-way radio. No
Member (as defined in Rule 400) shall permit others to use any electronic device unless such use has been authorized by the
Exchange. In using an electronic device, such Member shall retain any audit trail data in accordance with applicable CME
rules and CFTC regulations. 507.B. Terms and Conditions of Use The Exchange may, in its sole discretion, impose restrictions on the use of any authorized electronic device by any Member.
The Exchange may limit, suspend or terminate any Member's right to use any authorized electronic device at any time, without
prior notice and without any liability to the Exchange. The Exchange shall have the right, at any time, to audit the use of any authorized electronic device by any Member. The Exchange accepts no responsibility for loss, theft or damage to any equipment authorized for use by a Member on CME premises. Violation of this rule may be a major offense.
