Impact on Collateral and Margins
•CME collateral program enhancements driven by a number of factors:
Risk Committee guidance Commitments to CBOT Clearing firm feedback
•Even with all that has been done, CME collateral programs will continue to evolve to meet the changing needs of clearing firms. For example:
Expanded acceptance of sovereign issues Risk offsets for certain collateral classes

Electronic Delivery System (“EDS”)
•One major aspect of the CCL was to build a new electronic delivery system
•CME/CBOT Delivery Team worked closely with the Delivery Task Force and FIA to design a new EDS which encompasses improvements over the existing EDS
•New EDS offers firms major enhancements: Web-based system instead of mainframe provides for:
A more user friendly application
Scalability
Flexibility
Access from any computer with access to the CME Portal
New reports for clearing firms that enable easier end-of-day balancing
Real time inquiry/update of long date data and certificate data
Online invoicing data including firm pay/collect by product

EDS Interest Rate Delivery Improvements
• Substantial improvements for financial deliveries include:
Invoicing will include a list for all deliverable securities for each contract with CUSIPs and will also allow for “what if” invoicing scenarios prior to confirming invoices
Limit on the number of contracts/invoice has been increased from 1,000 to 99,999, which can drastically decrease the number of invoices that a firm must process
3 invoice alternatives offers firms the flexibility to customize their invoices, thereby drastically reducing the amount of lead time needed for back office processing

EDS Interest Rate Delivery Improvements
•Substantial improvements for financial deliveries include:
New real-time online reports allow firms receiving deliveries to quickly summarize the quantities they are receiving and pass information onto the trading desks prior to the close of the cash market
Banking instructions can now be exchanged online between clearing firms rather than by phone/fax

Involves all CME project teams, CBOT project teams, clearing member firms and service bureaus
100% firm participation in testing
