CONFIRMATION OF RIGHTS AGREEMENT
--------------------------------
THIS CONFIRMATION OF RIGHTS AGREEMENT (this "Agreement") is made and
entered into on July 27, 2000 (the "Effective Date") by and among Deutsche Borse
AG, a German Aktiengesellschaft with its registered office in Frankfurt am Main,
Federal Republic of Germany ("DBAG"), the Swiss Stock Exchange, a Swiss
association with its registered office in Zurich, Switzerland ("SWX"), Ceres
Trading Limited Partnership, a Delaware limited partnership having its principal
offices in Chicago, Illinois, U.S.A. ("Ceres"), and the Board of Trade of the
City of Chicago, an Illinois not-for-profit corporation ("CBOT").
WHEREAS, DBAG, SWX, Ceres and CBOT are parties to that certain
Alliance Agreement dated October 1, 1999 (the "Alliance Agreement") and that
certain Software License Agreement dated October 1, 1999 (the "Software License
Agreement");
WHEREAS, the Alliance Agreement and the Software License Agreement
govern the parties' rights in and to Programs (as defined in the Software
License Agreement) and Modifications (as defined in the Software License
Agreement), also referred to as the "Eurex Software;"
WHEREAS, DBAG and SWX have developed Modifications known as Eurex
Release 4.0 of the Eurex Software without the participation of Ceres or CBOT,
and are in the process of developing Modifications known as Eurex Release 4.1 of
the Eurex Software;
WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 3.4 of the Alliance Agreement, Ceres and
CBOT are required to reimburse DBAG and SWX for a portion of the research and
development costs incurred in developing certain components of Eurex Release
4.0 as further described in Exhibit A (the "4.0 Modifications") and of Eurex
Release 4.1 as further described in Exhibit A (the "4.1 Modifications," and
together with the 4.0 Modifications, the "4.0 and 4.1 Modifications") before
using the 4.0 and 4.1 Modifications;
WHEREAS, Ceres desires to pay such portion as set forth in this
Agreement and, in return, DBAG and SWX desire to confirm Ceres' right to use the
4.0 and 4.1 Modifications.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing premises and the
mutual covenants herein set forth, and for other good and valuable
consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged by the
parties hereto, the parties agree as follows:
1. 4.0 Modifications. Ceres shall reimburse DBAG and SWX for the
research and development costs for the 4.0 Modifications in accordance with the
terms and conditions set forth in Exhibit B. Subject to the limitations set
forth in Exhibit B, Ceres and any entity in which it may be merged or which
acquires all or substantially all of its assets and its successors and permitted
assigns (the "Ceres Licensee") shall, as of the Effective Date, have the right
to use the 4.0 Modifications, and to exercise all other rights Ceres Licensee
may have with respect to the 4.0 Modifications under the Alliance Agreement or
Software License Agreement. The parties acknowledge and agree that the 4.0
Modifications are Modifications (as defined in the Software License Agreement)
and that the ownership and use of the 4.0 Modifications shall be governed by the
provisions in the Alliance Agreement and Software License Agreement regarding
Modifications.
2. Current 4.1 Modifications. Ceres shall reimburse DBAG and SWX for the
research and development costs for the 4.1 Modifications incurred by DBAG and
SWX as of the Effective Date in accordance with the terms and conditions set
forth in Exhibit B. Subject to the limitations set forth in Exhibit B, Ceres
Licensee shall, as of the Effective Date, have the right to use the 4.1
Modifications, as such 4.1 Modifications exist as of the Effective Date (the
"Current 4.1 Modifications"), and to exercise all other rights Ceres Licensee
may have with respect to the Current 4.1 Modifications under the Alliance
Agreement or Software License Agreement. The parties acknowledge and agree that
the Current 4.1 Modifications are Modifications (as defined in the Software
License Agreement) and that the ownership and use of the Current 4.1
Modifications shall be governed by the provisions in the Alliance Agreement and
Software License Agreement regarding Modifications.
1
3. Future 4.1 Modifications. All further development of the 4.1
Modifications performed by Deutsche Borse Systems AG ("DBS") that takes place
after the Effective Date (the "Future 4.1 Modifications") shall be performed
under that certain Master Software Development Agreement dated July 20, 2000,
to which DBAG, SWX, Ceres, CBOT and DBS, among others, are parties (the
"Software Development Agreement") according to one or more Change Requests (as
defined in the Software Development Agreement). The rights and obligations of
the parties with respect to the Future 4.1 Modifications shall be governed by
the Software Development Agreement and such Change Requests, except that: (i)
the parties shall cause LLC (as defined in the Software Development Agreement)
to invoice DBAG and SWX for the portion of the research and development costs,
and any other costs incurred under the Software Development Agreement, for the
Future 4.1 Modifications for which a member of the CBOT Group would otherwise be
responsible, and DBAG shall be responsible for paying such invoices; and (ii)
Ceres shall reimburse DBAG and SWX for such costs in accordance with paragraph
(2) of Exhibit B.
4. No Other Payments. Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement,
no member of the CBOT Group (as defined in the Alliance Agreement) shall have
any other obligation to pay any other fees in order to use the 4.0 and 4.1
Modifications or to otherwise exercise its rights under the Alliance Agreement
or Software License Agreement with respect to the 4.0 and 4.1 Modifications.
SWX acknowledges and agrees that payments made by Ceres to DBAG, for the benefit
of both DBAG and SWX, as set forth in Exhibit B, shall satisfy Ceres' obligation
to pay SWX under this Agreement and that no member of the CBOT Group is
obligated to make any payment directly to SWX in connection with the 4.0 and 4.1
Modifications.
5. General Provisions. This Agreement hereby incorporates by reference
the terms and conditions of Article 9 of the Software License Agreement,
including the guarantee obligations of Section 9.7, and such terms and
conditions shall apply to this Agreement mutatis mutandis. For the avoidance of
doubt, the restructuring plan described in the May 16, 2000 "Restructuring
Report" of the CBOT constitutes a Reorganization, as that term is defined in the
Alliance Agreement.
6. Approval. This Agreement is subject to the approval of the Board of
Directors of each of DBAG, SWX and CBOT, as the Managing Partner of Ceres. If
any such party fails to provide notice to the other parties by August 10, 2000
that its Board of Directors has not approved this Agreement, then the Board of
Directors of such party shall be deemed to have approved this Agreement.
7. Other Modifications. For the avoidance of doubt, this Agreement does
not address the parties' respective rights and obligations with respect to
those components of Eurex Release 4.0 and Eurex Release 4.1 which are not 4.0
Modifications or 4.1 Modifications or the Modifications known as Eurex Release
3.0, JV Release 1.0 and JV Release 2.0 of the Eurex Software. The parties
acknowledge that Eurex Release 4.1 Change Request 016 is not a 4.1 Modification,
but that they will have further discussions regarding this Change Request.

Exhibit B
Payments in respect of the 4.0 and 4.1 Modifications
(1) Ceres shall pay a total amount [**] to DBAG, for the benefit of both DBAG
and SWX. The first [**] paid by Ceres under the schedule set forth below shall
be in exchange for all Rights (as defined in the Software License Agreement),
except as provided in (3) below, in the 4.0 Modifications and for related
training materials, and all subsequent payments by Ceres under such schedule
shall be in exchange for all Rights (as defined in the Software License
Agreement) in the Current 4.1 Modifications and for related training materials.
(a) [**] on or before April 30, 2001;
(b) [**] on or before May 31, 2001;
(c) [**] on or before June 30, 2001;
(d) [**] on or before July 31, 2001;
(e) [**] on or before August 31, 2001;
(f) [**] on or before September 30, 2001;
(g) [**] on or before October 31, 2001; and
(h) A final amount, which amount shall be determined as set forth
below, on or before the earlier of: (i) thirty (30) days after [**] days; and
(ii) June 30, 2002. The final amount will be calculated as the difference
between: (i) the total amount to be paid by Ceres using the actual amounts of
invoices paid by DBAG and/or SWX to DBS which are allocable to Ceres using the
methodology set forth in Exhibit A; and (ii) [**]. If the amount in (ii) is
greater than the amount in (i), then DBAG shall promptly refund to Ceres the
difference between (ii) and (i). In no event shall the final amount payable by
Ceres exceed [**]. DBAG and SWX shall provide Ceres with true and correct copies
of all such invoices and Ceres shall have the right to audit such invoices.
(2) Ceres shall reimburse DBAG, for the benefit of both DBAG and SWX, for the
costs paid on behalf of the CBOT Group pursuant to Section 3 of this
Agreement on or before the earlier of: (i) thirty (30) days after [**] days;
and (ii) June 30, 2002.
(3) Ceres may not use or otherwise exploit the "Trading--pro rata matcher
(integrated spreads)" component of the 4.0 Modifications unless and until it has
paid [**] to DBAG, for the benefit of both DBAG and SWX, provided that Ceres has
first made the payment under Par. (2) of Exhibit E of the Software License
Agreement with respect to the "distributed matching algorithm" component of the
Release 3.0 Modifications. Following these payments, Ceres will have all Rights
with respect to the "Trading--pro rata matcher (integrated spreads)" component
of the 4.0 Modifications.
(4) The payments described in each of paragraphs (1), (2) and (3) are separate
and distinct, and a payment under one paragraph will not be counted as a
payment under any other paragraph.
(5) At the time Ceres makes each of the payments set forth in (1), (2) or the
[**] Euro payment described in (3), Ceres shall also pay interest on the
amount of such payment. For the payments set forth in (1) and the [**]
payment described in (3), such interest shall be calculated at the rate of
[**] per annum from the Effective Date until the time of such payment by
Ceres. For the payments set forth in (2), such interest shall be calculated
at the rate of [**] per annum from the date on which DBAG and SWX pay DBS
for the Future 4.1 Modifications until the time of such payment by Ceres.
