	4.	Acceptance Testing 

  
 4.1    System Testing. Prior to LIFFE’s release to the CBOT of the Software for acceptance testing, LIFFE shall test the
Components. Prior to the CBOT’s commencement of acceptance testing, the CBOT shall test all software required to be provided by the CBOT hereunder (the “CBOT Deliverables”) to ascertain whether such software materially conforms
to the CBOT’s specifications for such CBOT Deliverables and those specifications for the Interfaces set forth on Schedule A. Acceptance testing shall not commence until (a) LIFFE has notified the CBOT in writing that LIFFE has reasonably
determined that the Software materially conforms to the Specifications and (b) the CBOT has notified LIFFE in writing that the CBOT has reasonably determined that the CBOT Deliverables materially conforms to the CBOT’s specifications for such
CBOT Deliverables and those specifications for the Interfaces comprising the Specifications. Between delivery of such notice to the other Party and the CBOT’s issuance of the Initial Acceptance Certificate, (i) LIFFE shall endeavor to provide
the CBOT written notice of any modifications of the Software that may have a material impact on the functionality, performance or operation of the Software, and (ii) the CBOT shall endeavor to provide LIFFE written notice of any modifications to the
CBOT Deliverables that may have material impact on the functionality, performance or operation of the CBOT Deliverables. 
  
 4.2    Preparation. Acceptance testing will consist of two phases: Integration Testing and Simulations. By no later than the
applicable Milestones, or such dates as are otherwise agreed upon by the Parties, the CBOT shall, in consultation with LIFFE, prepare and submit to LIFFE Acceptance Criteria, Test Cases, Test Data, and Test Plans in respect of each Component,
suitable to demonstrate that such Component can be integrated with the remaining Components comprising the Software and that the Software materially conforms to the applicable portions of the Specifications. LIFFE shall review each such submission

	 	  	Defect reasonably available to the CBOT, and (b) at LIFFE’s request, the Parties shall re-perform the relevant Integration Testing and present the results thereof to each
Party’s Project Manager. If the Parties agree that Integration Testing has revealed a Material Defect, the Parties shall document the nature of the Material Defect identified by the Integration Testing. As soon as reasonably practicable
thereafter, (i) LIFFE shall use reasonable efforts to remedy the Material Defect and shall notify the CBOT’s Project Manager once LIFFE reasonably believes the Material Defect has been remedied; and (ii) the Parties shall repeat the Integration
Testing, in whole or in part as necessary, to confirm that such Material Defect has been remedied. If such initial efforts to remedy the Material Defect prove unsuccessful, this cycle shall be repeated until (x) Integration Testing results reveal no
Material Defects or (y) the CBOT otherwise agrees to issue an Initial Acceptance Certificate, and the CBOT shall not incur any Charges for LIFFE’s Services in respect of such repeated cycle(s) in the event that the need to repeat such cycle is
due to LIFFE’s failure to remedy the Material Defect. 

  

	 	4.3.2.2	CBOT Defects. If Integration Testing reveals a defect in a CBOT Deliverable (a “CBOT Defect”), the Parties shall document the nature of the CBOT Defect
identified by the Integration Testing and provide to the CBOT’s Project Manager any evidence of the CBOT Defect discovered during Integration Testing. As soon as reasonably practicable thereafter, unless otherwise agreed by the Parties, (i) the
CBOT shall use reasonable efforts to remedy the CBOT Defect and shall notify LIFFE’s Project Manager once the CBOT reasonably believes the CBOT Defect has been remedied; and (ii) the Parties shall repeat the Integration Testing, in whole or in
part as necessary, to confirm that such CBOT Defect has been remedied. If such efforts to remedy the CBOT Defect prove unsuccessful, this cycle shall be repeated until Integration Testing results reveal no CBOT Defects. 

  

	 	4.3.3	Initial Acceptance Certificate. Once all of the Software has completed Integration Testing successfully, the CBOT shall promptly sign and deliver to LIFFE’s Project
Manager an Initial Acceptance Certificate, which shall evidence the CBOT’s Acceptance of the Software. Following the delivery of the Initial Acceptance Certificate and subject to the terms thereof, no modifications, other than such
configuration changes as are agreed upon by the Parties and may be necessary for purposes of carrying out the Simulations and/or for making the Software and the CBOT Deliverables available for trading in a real time live trading environment, shall
be made to the Software or the CBOT Deliverables prior to the Go Live Date, without the written consent of the Parties. 

  
 4.4    Simulations. 
  

	 	4.4.1	Notification. Following issuance of the Initial Acceptance Certificate and in accordance with the relevant Milestone, the CBOT shall, with LIFFE’s reasonable assistance,
carry out Simulations.

 made in pounds sterling; provided that the CBOT may pay in U.S. dollars any Charges
based on such costs incurred by LIFFE hereunder, which costs were denominated in U.S. dollars. 
  
 8.2    Taxes. The Charges shall be exclusive of all international, national or state taxes (including withholding
taxes), levies, duties, or similar charges, however designated, that may be assessed by any jurisdiction under current law or as a result of any change in the law following the date thereof (collectively, “Taxes”), and the CBOT
shall pay or reimburse LIFFE for all such Taxes that may be levied or imposed in relation to this Agreement or any of the rights and licenses granted hereunder, excluding (a) any VAT that is recovered by LIFFE and (b) taxes based on the net
income of LIFFE. LIFFE will use good faith efforts to recover VAT applicable to any Charges. Prior to receiving from the CBOT any payment which may be subject to United States withholding taxes, LIFFE shall deliver to the CBOT two original copies of
(i) Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) Form “W-8BEN” (or any successor forms), accurately completed and duly executed by LIFFE certifying, in Line 9a thereof (or the corresponding line of any successor forms), that the
applicable treaty is the United States-United Kingdom Income Tax Convention, and further certifying the matters set forth in Line 9b and 9c of Form “W-8BEN” (or the corresponding lines of any successor forms) or (ii) IRS Form
“W-8ECI” (or any successor form); provided that, unless required by U.S. law, LIFFE shall not be required to deliver to the CBOT any such Forms if LIFFE assigns, pursuant to Section 22, this Agreement and/or its rights and
obligations under this Agreement to an Affiliate of LIFFE which is a United States corporation. LIFFE hereby agrees, from time to time after the initial delivery by LIFFE of such forms whenever a lapse in time or change of circumstances renders such
forms obsolete or inaccurate in any material respect, to deliver to the CBOT two new original copies of IRS Form “W-8BEN” or IRS Form “W-8ECI” (or any successor forms), accurately completed and duly executed by LIFFE.
Notwithstanding this Section 8.2, the relevant Charges shall be paid net of any U.S. federal income withholding tax caused by the failure of LIFFE to provide the CBOT with such forms, unless a change in applicable law of the United States,
enacted or promulgated after the date hereof, makes it impossible for LIFFE to continue to make the certifications described above. 
  
 8.3    Invoices. LIFFE shall invoice the CBOT monthly in arrears for the Charges and any additional amounts due hereunder, in
pounds sterling; provided, however, that LIFFE will invoice in U.S. dollars any Charges based on costs incurred by LIFFE hereunder, which costs were denominated in U.S. dollars. For the avoidance of doubt, any amounts paid by LIFFE in pounds
sterling will be invoiced to the CBOT in pounds sterling. Each invoice for Development Service Charges will set forth the name of each of the LIFFE Project Personnel who performed such Services, the categories of work performed by such individual,
the grade of each such individual, and the Charge Rate for such individual. Subject to Section 8.4, payment of each invoice shall be made by the CBOT within thirty (30) days of the date of receipt of such invoice by the CBOT (the
“Payment Date”), unless the CBOT makes a good faith objection to the terms of the invoice, in which case (a) the CBOT shall pay the undisputed amount of the invoice, and (b) the Parties shall promptly undertake to resolve the
disputed portion of the invoice.  
  
 8.4    Financing. The Parties may agree upon a financing arrangement (the “Financing Agreement”), pursuant to which the CBOT may, upon written notice to LIFFE, elect to finance certain of the
Charges set forth on any invoice provided under this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, any Charges that the CBOT does not elect to finance pursuant to any Financing Agreement shall be paid by the CBOT in accordance with Section 8.3.
 
  
 8.5    Suspension. If the
CBOT fails to pay any undisputed Charges due under this Agreement by the Payment Date, then, without prejudice to any other remedy available to LIFFE, LIFFE may, upon fourteen (14) days prior written notice to the CBOT, suspend the Services,
provided that the CBOT has not made payment within such period of time. In the event of reinstatement of the Services, the CBOT

ANY LOSS, DAMAGE OR INJURY, DIRECT OR INDIRECT, WHETHER OR NOT CAUSED BY THE NEGLIGENCE OF SUCH PARTY, ITS AFFILIATES, OR THE OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS OR REPRESENTATIVES OF SUCH PARTY OR OF ANY OF ITS AFFILIATES, EXCEPT THAT EACH PARTY

	17.	Dispute Resolution 

  
 17.1    Escalation. As used herein, “Disputes” means any claims, disputes, controversies, and other matters in
question between the Parties arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the breach hereof (excluding any third party claims against LIFFE or the CBOT subject to indemnification pursuant to Section 15, but including any
disagreements as to indemnification rights hereunder). Any Dispute between the Parties shall in the first instance be referred to the Parties’ Relationship Managers for discussion and resolution. If the Dispute is not resolved by the
Relationship Managers within five (5) Business Days, the Dispute will be referred to the Managing Director of LIFFE Market Solutions and a representative of the CBOT at an equivalent level, who must discuss and, if appropriate, meet within five (5)
Business Days to attempt to resolve the Dispute. If the Dispute is not resolved by such second representatives within five (5) Business Days, the Dispute will be referred to the Parties’ Chief Executive Officers who must discuss and, if
appropriate, meet within five (5) Business Days to attempt to resolve the Dispute. If any representative of either Party referred to in this Section 17.1 is not available for any reason, the affected Party shall be entitled to appoint an
appropriate substitute. 
  
 17.2    Mediation. If the Parties cannot resolve any Dispute in accordance with Section 17.1 within thirty (30) Business Days, they may refer the Dispute to mediation, to be conducted by a single mediator
in (i) Chicago, Illinois, if LIFFE has initiated the Dispute, or (ii) London, England, if the CBOT has initiated the Dispute. The Parties shall use good faith efforts to agree upon a mediator. If the Parties are unable to agree upon a mediator
within thirty (30) Business Days, the Parties may seek judicial resolution and remedy of the Dispute without first proceeding with mediation. The Parties shall use good faith efforts to hold the mediation within thirty (30) Business Days following
the selection of a mediator. Unless otherwise agreed by the Parties, no decision resulting from the mediation proceedings will be binding upon the Parties. Unless expressly provided herein, each Party will bear its own costs (including attorneys
fees) relating to the mediation, but the Parties will share equally the fees and expenses charged by the mediator. 
  
 17.3    Arbitration. If a Dispute is not resolved in accordance with Section 17.2, then either Party may provide written
notice to the other Party of an intention to refer the Dispute to arbitration. Any such arbitration shall be: (a) binding; (b) administered by the International Centre for Dispute Resolution (“ICDR”) of the American Arbitration
Association (“AAA”); (c) conducted in accordance with the International Arbitration Rules of the AAA (the “AAA Rules”), as such AAA Rules may be amended from time to time, except to the extent this Section
17.3 provides otherwise; (d) held in Chicago, Illinois, if the Dispute is initiated by LIFFE and in London, England if the Dispute is initiated by the CBOT; and (e) conducted using the English language. Upon filing a claim, the filing Party will
simultaneously provide written notice of such claim to the other Party and to the relevant administrator at the ICDR.

shall render an award, including a written decision, within ninety (90) calendar days after the arbitration notice is provided, unless the Parties otherwise agree or the arbitrators make a finding that a Party has carried the burden of showing good
cause for a longer time period.

	 	17.3.5	Punitive Damages. Without limiting any other remedies that may be available under applicable law, the arbitrators shall have no authority to award punitive damages.


  

	 	17.3.6	Confidentiality. All proceedings and decisions of the arbitrators shall be maintained in confidence to the extent legally permissible, and shall not be made public by any
Party or any arbitrator without the prior written consent of the Parties, except as may be required by applicable laws. 

  

	 	17.3.7	Losses. Each Party shall bear its own costs and attorneys fees, and the Parties shall equally bear the fees, costs, and expenses of the arbitrators and the arbitration
proceedings charged by the arbitrators (“Arbitration Fees”); provided, however, that (a) the filing Party shall pay any filing fees charged by the AAA; and (b) the arbitrators may exercise discretion to award costs, but not
attorneys fees or Arbitration Fees, to the prevailing Party. 

  

	 	17.3.8	Obligations. The commencement and pendency of an arbitration under this Section 17.3 shall not relieve either of the Parties of their respective obligations under this
Agreement.

other matters in question between the Parties arising out of either Party’s breach of its obligations pursuant to Section 13 or Section 14.

Effective Date). 
  

	22.	Assignment and Sublicensing 

  
 Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, the CBOT shall not assign, transfer or sublicense any right or obligation under this Agreement without the
prior written approval of LIFFE. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the CBOT may assign this Agreement to the Electronic Chicago Board of Trade, Inc., provided that, in the event of any assignment, the CBOT will provide to LIFFE a written

 SCHEDULE H 
  
 CHANGE CONTROl
PROCEDURES 

	1.	OVERVIEW 

  
 The change control procedures set forth herein and diagrammed in chart form in Appendix 1 to this Schedule H, shall be used whenever the CBOT or LIFFE has a requirement to change any component of the
Services. 
  
 LIFFE’s Project Manager will be the principal contact at LIFFE
regarding the change control procedures and will serve as the administrator of the Change Control Procedures. The representative of the Party requesting the change will be referred to herein as the “Change Requester.” 
  

	2.	PROCEDURES 

  

	2.1	SUBMIT CHANGE REQUEST 

  

	 	(a)	To initiate the change control process, the Change Requester must set forth on a Change Request Form, a copy of which is attached as Appendix 2 to this Schedule H: (i)
the name of the Party requesting the change, (ii) the Change Requester’s name, (iii) the date of the request, (iv) a description of the desired change, and (v) the reason(s) for requesting the change. 

  

	 	(b)	The Change Requester must then send the Change Request Form to LIFFE’s Project Manager. 

  

	 	(c)	LIFFE’s Project Manager will thereafter acknowledge receipt of the Change Request Form by (i) issuing a number to correspond with the Change Request Form; (ii) noting on the
Change Request Form the date of receipt of the Change Request Form, the name of LIFFE’s Project Manager, the Change Request Form number issued, and the date of issuance of such number; and (iii) signing and dating the appropriate portion of the
Form. LIFFE’s Project Manager will then (x) send to the Change Requester and, if the Party requesting the change is LIFFE, to the CBOT’s Project Manager, a copy of the acknowledged Change Request Form and (y) record on the Change Request
Form the date such acknowledged Change Request Form was sent. 

  

	2.2	PRELIMINARY REVIEW OF CHANGE REQUEST 

  
 Following acknowledgment of receipt of the Change Request Form, LIFFE’s Project Manager will undertake a preliminary review of the Change Request
Form to ensure that the Change Requester has provided the requisite details. If LIFFE’s Project Manager, in his or her reasonable judgment, determines that the information provided is insufficient, LIFFE’s Project Manager will contact the
Change Requester to request additional information. This cycle will continue until (i) the requested information is provided or (ii) the Parties agree to file the Change Request Form and close the matter accordingly. LIFFE’s Project Manager
will not proceed with further assessment of the change request until and unless such additional information is obtained. 
  

	2.3	DETERMINATION OF WHETHER AN INITIAL ASSESSMENT IS TO BE CONDUCTED

 AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION. OMITTED PORTIONS INDICATED BY [**]. 
  

 H-1 








 CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED BY CBOT HOLDINGS, INC. 
  

	 	(a)	Once LIFFE’s Project Manager determines a Change Request Form provides sufficient information, LIFFE’s Project Manager will, within ten (10) Business Days of completion of
the portions of the Change Request Form noted above, contact the Change Requester and/or, if the Party requesting the change is LIFFE, the CBOT’s Project Manager, to discuss (i) whether an initial assessment of the change request is to be
undertaken and (ii) the date by which any initial assessment should be completed. 

  

	 	(b)	If LIFFE’s Project Manager and the Change Requester and/or, if the Party requesting the change is LIFFE, the CBOT’s Project Manager, agree that no initial assessment of
the change request is to be undertaken, LIFFE’s Project Manager will file the Change Request Form and close the matter accordingly. 

  

	 	(c)	In the circumstance where more than one initial assessment has been undertaken for a particular change request, the Parties may agree to halt the process of assessing the change
request, in which case LIFFE’s Project Manager will file the Change Request Form and close the matter accordingly. 

  

	 	(d)	[**] 

  

	 	(e)	[**] 

  

	2.4	INITIAL ASSESSMENT 

  

	 	(a)	If LIFFE’s Project Manager and the Change Requester and/or, if the Party requesting the change is LIFFE, the CBOT’s Project Manager, agree that an initial assessment is to
be undertaken, LIFFE’s Project Manager will, unless otherwise agreed, commence such initial assessment within ten (10) Business Days of such agreement and shall use reasonable efforts to complete the initial assessment by the agreed upon
completion date. 

  
 (b) As
applicable to the particular change request, [**] 
  
 · [**] 
  

	 	(b)	The Party requesting the change shall use reasonable efforts to ensure that the Change Requester and other appropriate personnel are available to provide to LIFFE’s Project
Manager information or other input or assistance relating to the initial assessment. 

  

	2.5	ACCEPTANCE OF INITIAL ASSESSMENT 

  

	 	(a)	Once an initial assessment has been completed, LIFFE’s Project Manager will attach to the relevant Change Request Form a copy of any written results of the initial assessment
and provide to the Change Requester and, if the Party requesting the change is LIFFE, the CBOT’s Project Manager a copy of such results. LIFFE’s Project Manager and the Change Requester and/or, if the Party requesting the change is LIFFE,
the CBOT’s Project Manager, will then discuss the results of the assessment and determine (i) whether to accept or reject the initial assessment and (ii) if the initial assessment is rejected, whether to file the Change Request Form and close
the matter or to continue performing the initial assessment. 

  

	 	(b)	If the initial assessment is rejected and no further work on the initial assessment is to be undertaken, LIFFE’s Project Manager will file the Change Request Form and close the
matter accordingly.

 CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED BY CBOT HOLDINGS, INC. 
  

	 	(c)	If the initial assessment is rejected and it is agreed that additional work on the initial assessment is to be conducted, LIFFE’s Project Manager and Change Requester and/or,
if the Party requesting the change is LIFFE, the CBOT’s Project Manager, will agree upon a revised date of completion of the initial assessment and LIFFE’s Project Manager will carry out such further work and repeat the applicable
procedures set out in Paragraphs 2.4(b) and 2.5(a). This cycle will continue until LIFFE’s Project Manager and the Change Requester and/or, if the Party requesting the change is LIFFE, the CBOT’s Project Manager, either (i)
agree to the initial assessment and senior representatives of each Party have executed the appropriate section of the Change Request Form, or (ii) agree to file the Change Request Form and close the matter accordingly. 

  

	2.6	DETAILED PLAN 

  

	 	(a)	If LIFFE’s Project Manager and the Change Requester and/or, if the Party requesting the change is LIFFE, the CBOT’s Project Manager, agree to the initial assessment, then
senior representatives of each Party will indicate such acceptance on the Change Request Form by signing the appropriate section of the Change Request Form. 

  

	 	(b)	LIFFE’s Project Manager will then coordinate the production of a “detailed plan” for the requested change and shall use reasonable efforts to complete the
“detailed plan” by the agreed upon completion date. Each such “detailed plan” will include (i) the criteria for acceptance relating to the change requested, as required pursuant to Section 5.1 of the Development Services
Agreement, (ii) an estimated schedule for implementation of the change requested, and (iii) the Charges which would be associated with implementation of the requested change. 

  

	 	(c)	The Parties shall use reasonable efforts to ensure that appropriate personnel are available to provide to LIFFE’s Project Manager information or other input or assistance
relating to creation of the detailed plan. 

  

	2.7	ACCEPTANCE OF DETAILED PLAN 

  

	 	(a)	Once the detailed plan has been completed, LIFFE’s Project Manager will attach to the relevant Change Request Form a copy of the detailed plan and provide to the Change
Requester and, if the Party requesting the change is LIFFE, the CBOT’s Project Manager a copy of such detailed plan. Thereafter, LIFFE’s Project Manager and the Change Requester and/or, if the Party requesting the change is LIFFE, the
CBOT’s Project Manager, will review the completed detailed plan and determine (i) whether to accept or reject the detailed plan and (ii) if the detailed plan is rejected, whether to file the Change Request Form and close the matter or to
continue working on the detailed plan. 

  

	 	(b)	If the detailed plan is rejected and no further work on the detailed plan is to be undertaken, LIFFE’s Project Manager will file the Change Request Form and close the matter
accordingly. 

  

	 	(c)	If the detailed plan is rejected and it is agreed that additional work on the detailed plan is to be conducted, LIFFE’s Project Manager will carry out such further work and
repeat the applicable procedures set forth in Paragraphs 2.6(b) and 2.7(a). This cycle will continue until LIFFE’s Project Manager and the Change Requester and/or, if the Party requesting the change is LIFFE, the CBOT’s
Project Manager, accept the detailed plan or agree to file the Change Request Form and close the matter accordingly.

senior representatives of each Party (i) will indicate acceptance of the change requested and the detailed plan by signing the appropriate section of the Change Request Form and (ii) LIFFE’s Project Manager will coordinate the implementation of
the change requested as per the detailed plan. 

  

	 	(b)	The Change Requestor shall use reasonable efforts to ensure that appropriate personnel are available to provide assistance with implementing the change requested as per the detailed
plan.

consent to allow all information they store on CBOT Systems to be divulged to law enforcement at the discretion of CBOT senior executive management. 

  
 Harassment Policy 
  
 Sexual harassment is an infringement of an employee’s, applicant’s or consultant’s right to work in an environment free from unlawful sexual pressure. The
CBOT® is strongly committed to a workplace free of
sexual harassment. In keeping with this policy, the CBOT will not tolerate sexual harassment of employees, applicants, or consultants by other employees or non-employees in the workplace. 
  
 Sexual harassment consists of unlawful verbal or physical conduct directed at a person when that conduct is based on that person’s sex
and has a substantial adverse effect on him or her in the workplace. Such conduct may include, but is not limited to, the following: 
  

	1.	requests for sexual favors that may or may not be accompanied by threats or promises of preferential treatment with respect to an individual’s employment status;



	2.	verbal, written or graphic communications of a sexual nature, including lewd or sexually suggestive comments, off-color jokes of a sexual nature or displays of sexually explicit
pictures, photos, posters, cartoons, books, magazines or other items; or 


	3.	patting, pinching, hitting or any other unnecessary contact with another person’s body or threats to take such action. 

  
 Any employee, applicant or consultant who believes that he or she has been sexually harassed
in the workplace should report the harassment as soon as possible after it occurs to their supervisor. Any complaint regarding harassment by a CBOT employee should be presented to the complaining individual’s supervisor or the CBOT Human
Resources Department. Any supervisor who receives such a complaint must notify the Human Resources Department of the complaint as soon as possible. Complaints pertaining to harassment by members or member firm employees should be directed to the
head of Investigations in the Office of Investigations and Audits. Complaints pertaining to harassment by other non-employees should be directed to the Human Resources Department. The CBOT will thoroughly investigate all complaints and will keep
them confidential, only disclosing them on a “need-to-know” basis. 
  
 The CBOT will not retaliate against any person who has been harassed and/or has reported the harassment. No supervisor or other employee may in any way base an employment decision regarding a person on the fact that the person has been
harassed and/or has reported the harassment to the CBOT. 
  
 The CBOT will not
tolerate any violations of this policy. Violations of this policy by employees or consultants will subject the offending employee(s) or consultant(s) to appropriate disciplinary action up to and including discharge from employment or termination of
services. Members and their employees who violate this policy will also be subject to appropriate disciplinary action.

LIFFE TRAVEL/EXPENSE POLICY 
  

	1.	Air Travel 

  
 All LIFFE staff travel British Airways Club Class for any journey in excess of 4 hours. If a Business Class seat is not available or the time or airport of departure is not convenient, then the traveler may choose
Business Class with Virgin Atlantic. If Business Class Seats with neither British Airways nor Virgin Atlantic are available within a 2 hour window either side of the preferred departure time, then the traveler may choose Business Class with any
other airline. 
  
 If the journey is less than 4 hours then Economy Class travel
will be used. Within the U.S. we do not have a limitation on which airlines are selected. 
  

	2.	Hotels 

  
 LIFFE staff will reside in reasonable accommodation when staying away from home overnight on business. This is dependant upon location and duration, but LIFFE suggests that a rate no greater than [**] per night is
reasonable for the staff in the U.S. 
  
 Accommodation for consultants over
weekends will be charged. 
  

	3.	Expenses 

  
 LIFFE generally does not expect the staff working away from the office to incur average general expenses in excess of [**] per day. This will include all local travel to and from the CBOT office, meals, calls,
laundry, etc. 
  
 All expenses except those of an exceptional nature and
pre-agreed by the client, will be not be charged. Exceptional expenses will be charged and identified individually on any invoice. 
  

	4.	General 

  
 The CBOT will not be charged for the time a LIFFE consultant is on flights unless LIFFE incurs a charge. This would only be the case where the consultant is a staff contractor.
