Important: You must enclose the total amount of the filing fee for the type of decisional procedure you select or your
complaint will not be processed. Please indicate the procedure you select and enclose a check or money order made payable to the
Commodity Futures Trading Commission in the total amount. The filing fee must accompany your complaint. (See attached Notice
to Customers Making Payment by Check) Under no circumstances will the filing fee be refunded. CHECK ONE:

$50 Voluntary Decisional Procedure. This procedure entitles you, if the respondents agree, to present your case in written
form before a CFTC judgment officer. A final decision will be issued without explanation of the reasons. By electing the voluntary
procedure, you will waive your right to appeal as well as prejudgment interest and costs. Post-judgment interest may be awarded if
you prevail.

$125 Summary Decisional Procedure. If your claim is $30,000 or less, it can be heard by a judgment officer. You may
present your case in written form, and if deemed necessary by the judgment officer, orally, in Washington, or by telephone under this
procedure. The judgment officer will issue brief statements of factual findings and conclusions based on law which are appealable
first to the Commission and from there to a U.S. Court of Appeals. Prejudgment and post-judgment interest may be awarded if you
prevail.

$250 Formal Decisional Procedure. If your claim is over $30,000, it can be assigned to an administrative law judge (ALJ) for
a formal hearing. You may present your case in written form. If oral testimony is deemed necessary by the ALJ, you may be required
to travel up to 300 miles to attend the hearing. The ALJ will issue findings of fact and conclusions of law which are appealable first to
the Commission and from there to a U.S. Court of appeals. Prejudgment and post-judgment interest may be awarded if you prevail.

Notice: Filing fees, once paid to the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, are not refundable. Verify that the person or
persons named in the complaint were registered with the CFTC at this time of the alleged offense. Call (202) 418-5506 for
