products that are accessible, transparent and carry virtually no counterparty
risk. We are adding to that this program, which is similar to other incentive
programs we have employed in other regions to further globalize our customer
base."

South American banks participating in the fee program, which runs through
December 31, 2010, will be able to trade futures on every major asset class
