	22.	CBOT Limited Waiver Regarding Use Of Any Finding By The Court Of Fairness Of The Settlement. 

  
 The CBOT and its directors, on behalf of themselves and their successors,
agree that they will not use any finding by the Court in the Minority Member Lawsuit with respect to the fairness of the Settlement Agreement as a defense to any claim or action by a Full Member against the CBOT or its directors in connection with
the CBOT’s having entered into this 
  







 
Settlement Agreement, as amended. The CBOT and its directors expressly reserve all other defenses and claims with respect to any such claim or action by a
Full Member. 
  

	23.	Plaintiff Class Members’ Agreement Regarding Full Member Votes On Restructuring. 

  
 The Plaintiff Class will not claim that a Full Member vote for or against the proposed Settlement Allocation is a breach of

	24.	Plaintiff Class Members’ Agreement To Provide Additional Releases To Full Members Who Demonstrate Their Support For The Settlement.

a group of controlling members (or shareholders) of the CBOT and which claims are based on any act that occurred from the beginning of time through April 20, 2004 (the date of the First Amendment to this Settlement Agreement), however, this release
shall extend only to such Full Member(s) who do not exclude themselves from the Defendant class and do not file an objection to the Settlement Agreement with the Court.
