CME will begin offering collocation services for customers' firms that
execute electronic trades on CME Globex in the fourth quarter of 2006.

For the first time, CME will offer customers the opportunity to
connect their collocated trading servers to the CME over high-speed
fiber optic connections. These redundant server connections are
expected to decrease network latency times for order entry to CME
Globex to less than one millisecond. The new network connection option
is called CME Local Network (CME LNET).

The CME selected Equinix Inc., a leading provider of network-neutral
data centers and Internet exchange services, and Digital Realty Trust
Inc., a leading owner and manager of corporate data centers and
Internet gateways, to enable customers to connect to CME Globex
through high-speed, high-availability fiber links.
