      APPLICABLE CONTRACT MONTHS:                 January, February, March, June 2009
       
      SETTLEMENT PRICES AND POSITIONS:         The underlying price for the BRL2C Futures contract deliverable, expressed in term of current market value, would be calculated as follows:
       
                                                                              BRL2C = .62 (TEVA) + 39.90 + cash in lieu
       
                                                                               Please note that the valuation would apply only to the BRL2C deliverable in terms of current market value of the deliverable securities. The resulting price would not be equivalent to the daily settlement price of a futures contract month, whose determination would include cost of money carrying charges, adjustment for dividends, and other factors.
