RE: Section 5c(c) and Regulations §40.2 and §40.6(a) Submission, Exchange Certification for
Emergency Rule Amendments for the New CME Israeli Shekel Futures
and Options Contracts, and Notice of Futures Calendar Spread Listings.
CME Submission 06-44.

Dear Ms. Webb:

Chicago Mercantile Exchange Inc. (“CME” or “Exchange”) hereby certifies with the Commission
amendments to the emergency rules for the CME Israeli Shekel Futures and CME Options on Israeli
Shekel Futures contracts, that are consistent with the recent rule amendments to the Exchange’s other
foreign exchange futures and options emergency rules, which were submitted to the Commission in CME
Submission 06-28, dated March 22, 2006, in conjunction with amendments to CME Chapters 7 and 8.
These amendments consolidated the Exchange’s emergency procedures under CME Rule 701. The
Exchange certifies that the amendments requested herein comply with the Act and rules thereunder.

Also, in CME Submission 06-36, dated Thursday, April 6, 2006, CME provided the initial
contract months that will be listed for the CME Israeli Shekel futures and their options contracts for
trading on the CME Globex® electronic trading system. In this submission, CME also notifies the
Commission that CME will list three CME Israeli Shekel futures contract calendar spreads for trading on
CME Globex: (1) first deferred March cycle month versus front month, (2) second deferred March cycle
month versus front month and (3) third deferred March cycle month versus the front month. Therefore,
specifically these CME Israeli Shekel futures calendar spreads are: Sep. 2006 vs. Jun. 2006, Dec. 2006 vs.
Jun. 2006, and Mar. 2007 vs. Jun. 2006. As noted in CME Submission 06-36, trading will be initiated
Sunday, May 7, 2006 at 5:00 p.m. on CME Globex for the trade date of Monday, May 8, 2006. The first
futures delivery month will be June 2006.
