Based on the Subscriber's qualifications, Subscribers may be charged reduced Fees for Information. To qualify
for the reduction in Subscriber Fees, Subscriber must be considered a "Non-Professional."
Non-Professional shall mean and include either (i) an individual, natural person Subscriber(s) who, or (ii) certain
small business entities (limited liability companies, partnerships, trusts or corporations) that, receive and use
Information (excluding any pit traded data), in each case subject to the following restrictions:
The Non-Professional Subscriber must:

The Non-Professional Subscriber must not:
be a member (or hold or lease any type membership) of any exchange;
be registered or qualified as a professional trader or investment adviser with any stock,

activities
The Non-Professional Subscriber's Use of Information must:
be solely for the Subscriber's personal or private use;
be limited to managing the Subscriber's own assets, and not be used in connection with the
management of any assets of any third party(ies) in any capacity
The Non-Professional Subscriber's Access to Information must only
be via a maximum of two trading terminals per Distributor, permissioned for Real-Time
Information and capable of routing orders to the CME Globex Platform (an "Order Routing
Device").
Any Subscriber who does not meet the qualifications of a Non-Professional Subscriber will be considered a
Professional Subscriber.
Notwithstanding anything herein, CME reserves the right in all cases to make a final determination as to whether a
Subscriber is a Non-Professional or a Professional. CME reserves the right to amend this policy or terminate
reduced fees for Non-Professionals at any time.
Subscribers who qualify as Non-Professionals should answer "Yes" and sign below. Please note that this
form may be subject to Distributor's review and approval. Subscriber must notify
