It is not, therefore, intended to be exhaustive, and is presented without any representation or warranty as to its accuracy, completeness or timeliness. Transmission or receipt of this information does not create an attorney-client relationship with Katten Muchin Rosenman LLP, and the information herein should not be used or relied upon in regard to any particular facts or circumstances without first consulting a lawyer. This Chart does not express any opinion as to the potential application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the United States. Questions regarding the permissibility of trading in products that are not included in this Chart should be addressed to James D. Van De Graaff at 1.312.902-5227, Kenneth M.

Institutionrdquo: As used in this Chart, in accordance with SEC no-action letters, the term ldquoEligible U. S. Institutionrdquo means, in general, a U. S. Person that (i) is a ldquoqualified institutional buyerrdquo as defined in Rule 144A(a)(1) under the Securities Act of 1933, and (ii) has had prior actual experience in trading U. S. listed options contracts. For information regarding working definitions of ldquoU. S. Personrdquo as that term is used in this Chart, please contact Katten Muchin Rosenman LLP. 1 Reserved 2 The CFTC No-Action Letter also applies to BMampF Bovesparsquos ldquoIbovespa Rolloverrdquo and ldquoForward Points on the Ibovespardquo transactions. 3 The index is included in the CFTCrsquos and SECrsquos joint order dated May 31, 2002 extending the exclusion of such index from the definition of ldquonarrow-based security indexrdquo under the Commodity Exchange Act and Securities Exchange Act of 1934 beyond its expiration date of July 11, 2002 (the ldquoJoint Orderrdquo). Foreign futures contracts or options on futures contracts on ldquonarrow-based securities indexesrdquo may not be offered or sold to U. S. Persons without the CFTC and SEC first developing joint regulations, which has not yet been done. Accordingly, the Joint Order effectively allows the stock index futures contracts and options on futures contracts that are based on the security indexes included in the Joint Order, which were granted no-action relief by the CFTC prior to the enactment of the Commodity Futures Modernization Act (ldquoCFMArdquo) on December 21, 2000, to continue to be offered and sold to U. S. Persons after July 11, 2002, the date that the exclusion set forth in the CFMA was to expire. 4 These products may be eligible for clearing through the Bclear service offered by Euronext LIFFE (ldquoLIFFErdquo). Bclear allows members to submit an option contract on a non-U. S. security that has been negotiated and completed as an over-the-counter (ldquoOTCrdquo) transaction so that LIFFE may replace the OTC transaction with an equivalent LIFFE options contract. LIFFE members that intend to offer or sell such products to U. S. persons must satisfy the following conditions: (i) Bclear services may only be offered to a U.
