18 Initial Margin Models Summary of the CME Initial Margin Model for IRS 99% 5-day coverage standard (7 day coverage period for client business in CMECE) Volatility rescaling to determine margins for a given IRS portfolio Historical shocks are scaled to simulate potential volatility environments prior to generating a P/L distribution for VaR calculations 5 Year+ look back period for CME Inc and a 5 year look back for CMECE 5 Year+ look back includes extreme market events like Lehman default CME offers a shifted log approach where the zero-rates are first shifted by 4% before computing the returns Model achieves 99% coverage with 99.7% confidence level EWMA Historical VaR model adjusts historical shocks (returns) to account for an estimate of volatility over the future 5-day horizon; typically, margins are higher than plain ( un-scaled ) Historical VaR as volatility is forecasted to ramp up and vice-versa Model uses volatility floors to mitigate against margin decline in a low-volatility environment CME Clearing accepts a broad array of collateral for the Customer OTC Account Class Full details of eligible collateral and the associated haircuts can be found at the link below

22 Account Structures & Risk Waterfalls

23 Account Structures CME US LSOC Without Netting Variation Margin In an FCM default, CME Clearing will discontinue netting variation gains and losses within the defaulted FCM s cleared swaps customer account with CME Clearing on a post-default basis By discontinuing Variation Margin netting, CME will better protect non-defaulting customers by helping them keep their positions intact while porting them to another FCM with as much collateral as possible LSOC with Excess Flexibility to hold excess collateral at CME Clearing, with protection of the client s full collateral value Client s FCM must submit a daily Collateral Value Report (CVR) to specify the collateral value of each individual account Combined Cash Flow Under LSOC with Excess Flexibility to hold excess collateral at CME Clearing, with protection of the client's full collateral value Efficient daily margin process allowing firms to use the excess collateral to cover variation margin obligations, with the potential to eliminate daily cash movements Lower variation margin calls for Clearing Members, reducing the funding gap between Clearing Firms and their clients 23

Exchange traded and Over-The-Counter (OTC) derivatives are not suitable for all investors, and involve the risk of loss. Exchange traded and OTC derivatives are leveraged investments, and because only a percentage of a contract s value is required to trade, it is possible to lose more than the amount of money initially deposited for an exchange traded or OTC derivative position.
