PREAMBLE
A. Licensors are the exclusive owners of the Eurex Software (as defined
below). CBOT offers certain derivative products for trading on an
electronic market operated on the basis of Release a/c/e 1.0 (as defined
below) of the Eurex Software and known as "a/c/e" (the "CBOT Electronic
Market"). Licensee's right to use Release a/c/e 1.0 was to date subject to
the Software License Agreement among DBAG, SWX, CBOT and Ceres dated
October 1, 1999 (the "Software License Agreement"), the Alliance Agreement
among the Parties and Eurex Deutschland, Eurex Zurich AG, Eurex Frankfurt
AG and Ceres Alliance LLC dated October 1, 1999 (the "Alliance Agreement")
and the Master Software Development Agreement dated July 20, 2000 (the
"Master Software Development Agreement"). The Alliance Agreement and the
Software License Agreement provide for, among other things, Licensee's
right to use release Eurex 2.0 of the Eurex Software, and for the co-
ownership of the Parties with regard to certain modifications to such
release. Deutsche Borse Systems AG ("DBS"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of
DBAG, has so far, under a Systems Operations Agreement dated July 20, 2000
(the "Systems Operations Agreement"), provided the services required by
Licensee and the CBOT for (i) the development and the maintenance of
Release a/c/e 1.0 under the Master Software Development Agreement and (ii)
the implementation, operation and maintenance of the computer and
communication resources required to provide electronic trading services on
the basis of Release a/c/e 1.0.
B. By way of a Reorganization Agreement dated an even date herewith (the
"Reorganization Agreement"), the Parties have decided to terminate the
Alliance Agreement and the Software License Agreement as of the Effective
Date (as defined below) and CBOT and Ceres have, with effect from the
Effective Date, waived and assigned (as more clearly set forth in the
Reorganization Agreement) to Licensors, all right, title and interest, as
existing as of the Effective Date, they acquired with regard to the Eurex
Software under the Software License Agreement, the Alliance Agreement, and
the Master Software Development Agreement. The Reorganization Agreement
also provides for the termination of the Master Software Development
Agreement and the Systems Operations Agreement.

C. Licensee and CBOT desire to continue to use Release a/c/e 1.0 after the
termination of the Software License Agreement and the Alliance Agreement,
and to replace Release a/c/e 1.0 with a First Subsequent Release (as
defined below) and eventually further Subsequent Releases (as defined
below). Licensors desire, pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, in a
first step, to grant to Licensee the right to use Release a/c/e 1.0 for the
purposes of the trading of certain CBOT derivative products on the CBOT
Electronic Market, and, in a second step, to grant to Licensee the right to
use Subsequent Releases for the same purpose as and when implemented.
D. This Agreement exclusively governs Licensee's right to use Release a/c/e
1.0 as well as any Subsequent Releases and New Modifications (as defined
below). The services required for the maintenance of Release a/c/e 1.0 and
of any Subsequent Release shall be provided by DBAG subject to the terms of
the Software Maintenance Agreement (the "Software Maintenance Agreement")
dated an even date herewith between the Parties, Eurex Zurich AG and Eurex
Frankfurt AG, and the services required for the testing, installation and
deployment of any Subsequent Release shall be provided by DBS subject to
the New Systems Operations Agreement (the "New Systems Operations
Agreement") dated an even date herewith between CBOT, Ceres, DBS, Eurex
Frankfurt AG and Eurex Zurich AG.

only as provided in this Section 2 and royalty-bearing as provided in
Section 6, to use the Licensed Programs in object code form only to provide

any claim of infringement by any third party, provided that
Licensors are aware of the claims under U.S. Patent No. 4,903,201
(the "Patent") asserted in the case captioned eSpeed, Inc. and
Electronic Trading Systems Corporation v. Board of Trade, et al.,
Civil Action No. 3-99CV1016-M, pending in the United Stated District
Court for the Northern District of Texas (the "Texas Case"). None of
the parties to this Agreement have any reason to believe that, when
used in the manner contemplated in this Agreement, the System does
or will infringe any valid patent rights of the plaintiff in the
Texas Case. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement,
no Party shall have any liability (including, without limitation,
under Section 5.2) to another Party under this Agreement arising out
of or in connection with the Patent or any claims asserted with
respect thereto, in the Texas Case or otherwise, based upon the
Patent.
5.1.3 To Licensors' knowledge as of the date hereof, the Licensed Programs
do not contain any timer, clock, counter or other limiting design or
routine which causes the Licensed Programs to become erased,

for which they are designed and licensed pursuant to this Agreement
after being used or copied a certain number of times, or after the
lapse of a certain period of time, after the occurrence or lapse of
any similar triggering factor or event, or because they have been
installed on or moved to a central processing unit or system which

warranties under Section 5.1 shall be the commercially reasonable efforts
of the Licensors to correct such breaches or cause such breaches to be
corrected.

Licensors, it is relying upon its own investigation of the Licensed
Programs and its judgments on the suitability of the Licensed Programs for
its purposes and acknowledges that Licensors

performance specifications.
5.4 With regard to the First Subsequent Release, the provisions set forth in
Sections 11.2, 12.3 and 14.1 of the Software Maintenance Agreement shall

avoidance of doubt, the preceding sentence does not apply with regard to
the "distributed matching algorithm" which is not part of the First
Subsequent Release.

provided to Licensee as is, and Licensors do not make, and hereby disclaim,

the Licensed Programs (i) to meet Licensee's requirements or operate in

exchange or by any members thereof. Notwithstanding the fact that Licensee
is not entitled to make any modifications to the Licensed Programs,
Licensors shall have no liability of any kind under this Agreement for any
modifications made to the Licensed Programs by Licensee or any permitted
sublicensee of any party acting on behalf of any of them.

in connection with this Agreement for, any special, indirect, consequential
or collateral damages (such as, without limitation, loss of revenue, loss

goodwill), or any damages other than direct damages, without regard to the
circumstances giving rise to any purported claim and regardless of the
legal or equitable grounds on which any purported claim is based, arising
from the granting of the license granted herein or the dependence upon or
use of the Licensed Program by Licensee or any third party.
5.8 Licensee agrees to indemnify, defend and hold Licensors harmless against
any and all damages, costs or expenses (including reasonable attorney's
fees) relating to, based on or arising out of all claims brought by users

third party to which Licensee has made available any portion of the
Licensed Programs, other than with respect to that portion of any such

to the Initial Eligible Derivatives on the basis of the number of
Initial Eligible Derivative contracts [**] on any electronic exchange
operated by or on behalf or with the consent of CBOT or an Affiliate
of CBOT on the equipment and infrastructure made available by DBS

[**] and [**], and (ii) consisting in case of the Additional Eligible

6.2 The Annual Fee shall be paid in installments of Euro [**] ((Euro) [**]) in
advance on the first day of each [**]. The payment of the Annual Fee shall
start as of [**]. The installment for the [**] of 2002 shall be due and
payable within [**] of the Effective Date. In the event the Termination
Date does not coincide with the [**] of a [**], the installment paid with
regard to the [**] in which the Termination Date falls, shall be adjusted
pro rata temporis from the first day of such [**] until, and including, the
Termination Date; the Licensors shall in such case refund to Licensee any
payments already made in excess of such adjusted installment.
6.3 The Variable Fees shall be calculated each calendar quarter. The payment of
the Variable Fees shall start as of April 1, 2002. All Variable Fees

accurate records pertaining to the information required to calculate the
Variable Fee in sufficient detail to permit Licensors to confirm the
accuracy of all payments due hereunder. Licensors shall have the right to
have an independent, certified public accountant audit such records to
confirm the amount of Variable Fees. Such audit may be exercised during
normal business hours upon reasonable prior written notice to Licensee.
Prompt adjustment shall be made by the Parties with regard to affected
payments to reflect the results of such audit. Licensors shall bear the
full cost of such audit unless such audit discloses a variance of more than
five percent (5%) between the amount of Variable Fees or other payments due
under this Agreement for a particular calendar quarter and the amount
actually received by Licensors for such calendar quarter. In such case,
Licensee shall bear the full cost of such audit and shall, in addition,
promptly remit to Licensors the amount of any underpayment.
6.4 In the event this Agreement ends or is terminated, Licensee shall pay on
the Termination Date to Licensors an amount equal to Euro plus [**] of the
aggregate of all Variable Fees due by Licensee for the three months

the event Section 6.2.3, last sentence, of the Reorganization Agreement
applies.

remitting payment, (ii) timely pay the taxes to the proper taxing
authority, (iii) send proof of payment to Licensor and certify its receipt
by the taxing authority within thirty (30) days following such payment, and
(iv) provide all necessary support to Licensors as required to recover such
taxes.
6.6 Each of Licensors, or one Licensor on behalf of both Licensors, will send
to Licensee invoices regarding its share, as such share is agreed between
Licensors, in the license fees set forth in Section 6.1.
6.7 Legal rights of either Party to set-off against claims of the other Party
are excluded, except where the corresponding claim of such Party has either
been determined by a final arbitral award pursuant to Section 9.3 or
expressly acknowledged by the affected other Party or Parties, as the case
may be, in writing. In no event shall Licensee be entitled to set-off
against the invoice of a Licensor where Licensee's corresponding claim is
directed against the other Licensor.

have the sole and exclusive title in and to, the Eurex Software and the
Documentation, all Proprietary Rights relating to the Eurex Software and

like nature. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the receiving party's
obligation to protect the confidentiality of any Confidential Information
shall terminate if the same becomes part of the public domain without

the receiving party without obligation of confidentiality by a third party
with the right to do so. For the purposes of this Agreement, "Confidential
Information" means confidential information the receiving party, or any of
its related parties or their respective directors, officers, employees or
agents, receives in connection with the transactions contemplated herein

may terminate this Agreement prior to December 31, 2003 only upon the
occurrence of any of the following:

-15-
(c) upon or after the breach of any material provision of this Agreement
by the other Party if the breaching party has not cured such breach or
the Parties have not agreed on a plan to remedy such breach within
fifteen (15) business days after written notice thereof by the non-
breaching party; or
8.2 Licensors may terminate this Agreement prior to December 31, 2003 upon the
public announcement of, or the filing of a notice with the SEC relating to,
a Change of Control of any member of the CBOT Group other than C-B-T
Corporation and its legal successors and assigns (to the extent it remains
in its present lines of business), provided that (i) all Annual Fees and
the estimated Variable Fees that would have to be paid by Licensee (to be
calculated on the basis of the average payment of Variable Fees until
declaration of termination) throughout the entire regular term of the
Agreement (i.e. through December 31, 2003) are immediately due and payable,
and (ii) Licensors will ensure termination assistance for a period no
longer than two months from the declaration of termination by Licensors,
and (iii) in the event a public announcement or SEC filing takes place
after December 31, 2002, only the closing of the so announced or notified
transaction shall trigger the termination right and termination assistance
shall in such case be made available for a period of four months from the
declaration of termination, but in no event beyond December 31, 2003.
Termination assistance shall mean that Licensee shall have the right to
continue to use the Licensed Programs, and the obligation to pay for such
use, each as set forth in this Agreement, through the end of the
termination assistance. To the extent required by a corresponding written
notice of Licensee, Licensors must decide within 30 days of receipt of such

rules; the United Nations Conventions on the International Sale of Goods
shall not apply.

9.3 Except with regard to actions seeking temporary or permanent injunctive
relief, any dispute arising under or in connection with this Agreement
between or among any parties to this Agreement will be finally settled by
arbitration in accordance with the arbitration rules of the United Nations
Convention on International Trade Law (the "UNCITRAL Rules").
9.3.1 The arbitration will be conducted by three (3) arbitrators. Such
arbitrators are to be appointed in accordance with Article 7 of the
UNCITRAL Rules.
9.3.2 Where there are multiple parties, whether as Claimant or as
Respondent the multiple Claimants, jointly, and the multiple
Respondents, jointly, shall nominate an arbitrator pursuant to
Article 7 of the UNCITRAL Rules. In the absence of such a joint
nomination and where all parties are unable to agree to a method for
the constitution of the Arbitral Tribunal, the London Court of
International Arbitration (the "Appointing Authority" for the
purposes of the application of the UNCITRAL Rules) may appoint each
member of the Arbitral Tribunal and shall designate one of them to
act as chairman. In such case the Appointing Authority shall be at
liberty to choose any person it regards as suitable to act as
arbitrator.
9.3.3 The place of arbitration shall be London. The proceedings shall be
conducted in the English language exclusively.
9.3.4 The Parties acknowledge that irreparable damage may occur in the
event of breach of any of the terms of this Agreement.
9.4 The provisions of this Agreement are severable and the unenforceability of
any provision of this Agreement shall not affect the enforceability of any
other provisions hereof. In addition, in the event that any provision of
this Agreement (or portion thereof) is determined by a court of competent
jurisdiction, an arbitral award obtained pursuant to Section 9.3 or any
regulatory authority having jurisdiction to be unenforceable as drafted by
virtue of the scope, duration, extent or character of any obligation
contained therein, it is the mutual agreement of the Parties that such
provision (or portion thereof) shall be construed in a manner designed to
effectuate the purpose of such provision to the maximum extent enforceable
under applicable law. If such construction is not possible, the Parties
undertake, to the extent

reasonably possible, to modify such provision in order to implement the
purposes of such provision as fully as possible.
9.5 While there are related agreements to which some or all of the parties
hereto are parties (the Reorganization Agreement, the Software Maintenance
Agreement, the New Systems Operations Agreement and the surviving
provisions of the Preexisting Agreements (as defined in the Reorganization
Agreement)), this Agreement constitutes the complete agreement of the
parties with respect to the matters set forth herein, and there are no
written or oral side agreements to this Agreement. This Agreement and the
Exhibits attached hereto may only be modified by a written instrument
signed by all Parties hereto. This Section 9.5 may also be modified only by
a written instrument signed by all Parties hereto. This provision shall not
be deemed to affect any rights any Party may have against any third party.
9.6 This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the
Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns. No Party may
assign this Agreement or any portion hereof, by Change of Control,
operation of law or otherwise, without obtaining the prior written consent
of the other Parties. The Parties will grant their consent to the
assignment of rights or obligations by a party to an Affiliate of such
Party if (i) the assigning Party remains liable for any assigned
obligations as a jointly and severally liable guarantor
(selbstschuldnerische Burgschaft) with the assignee, (ii) the assigning
Party, together with its rights and obligations under this Agreement,
assigns its rights and obligations, if any, under the Reorganization
Agreement, the Software Maintenance Agreement and the New Systems
Operations Agreement to the assignee, or (iii) in case of Ceres being the
assigning Party, CBOT assumes a performance guarantee as set forth in
Section 9.7 with regard to the assignee. The exceptions to the definition
of "Change of Control" for CBOT and SWX do not require the consent of the
other Parties under this Section 9.6. For the avoidance of any doubt, the
above shall not entitle a Party to invoke a preliminary injunction or to
seek any other remedy in order to prevent the occurrence of a Change of
Control.
9.7 (a) CBOT hereby unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees to Licensors
the full and timely performance by Ceres and any of its permitted
assigns or legal successors (individually and collectively referred to
as "Ceres") of all of Ceres' obligations (the "Performance
Obligations") under or pursuant to this

Agreement, including, without limitation, the indemnity obligations
hereunder, as and when the same shall be due to be performed under
this Agreement, and all liabilities of Ceres under this Agreement in
the event of any breach by Ceres of any term hereof. CBOT hereby
waives any provision of any statute, regulation or judicial decision
otherwise applicable hereto which restricts or in any way limits the
rights of an obligee against a guarantor or surety following a default
or failure of performance by an obligator with respect to whose
obligations the guarantee or surety is provided.
(b) Licensors may proceed to protect and enforce any or all of their
rights under this Section 9.7 pursuant to Section 9.3, whether for the
specific performance of any covenants or agreements of Ceres under or
pursuant to this Agreement, and shall be entitled to require and
enforce the performance by CBOT of all acts and things required to be
performed hereunder by Ceres.
(c) CBOT shall not be entitled to and does hereby waive any and all
defenses now or hereafter available to guarantors, sureties and other
secondary parties at law or in equity, with the exception of any
defenses Ceres may have against Licensors that are available to CBOT.
(d) Licensors shall be entitled to proceed on first demand directly
against CBOT in respect of any Performance Obligation hereunder
without any requirement that it first make any demand against or
exhaust any remedies available to it from Ceres or to take any other
steps.
9.8 This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be
deemed an original, but all of which, taken together, shall constitute one
and the same instrument.

2 Description of Change
2.1 Current Situation
Currently, a/c/e is running Eurex 4.0 software; the Eurex 4.1-1 software has not
been introduced on the a/c/e hosts and front-ends.
2.2 Recommended Change
Deutsche Borse Systems recommends to introduce a/c/e Release 1.1 on the a/c/e
hosts and front-ends in 2003. a/c/e Release 1.1 comprises the Eurex Release

2.4 Out of Scope
The following services are not included in this proposal. A separate change
request should Eurex wish that Deutsche Borse Systems provides these services.
1. Due to unknown timelines for acceptance and simulation, this offer does
not include efforts for support of these project phases. This support will
be estimated after finalisation of the rollout plan by Eurex and charged

front-end and back-end systems during production launch other than those
defined in section 2.3 are not part of this change request.
4. There will be no explicit End-to-end Tests to BOTCC, PRICES and OIA. These
interfaces will have to be tested by Eurex and a/c/e during the a/c/e
Release 1.1 simulation phase.
5. No warranty activities are covered by this change request.
6. Changes to systems not maintained by DBS are not included in this change
request.
