    4. After receipt of the preliminary audit response, Subscriber may elect, at Subscriber’s sole cost and expense, to conduct a subsequent review. This subsequent review shall be completed and submitted to NASDAQ within ninety (90) days after the preliminary audit response is received by Subscriber.
       
    5. If NASDAQ and Subscriber are not able to reach agreement concerning the preliminary audit response nor the subsequent review within: (i) sixty (60) days of Subscriber’s submission or the subsequent review; or (ii) one hundred fifty (150) days of Subscriber’s receipt of the preliminary audit response, provided that NASDAQ has proceeded with such examination and audit in good faith in accordance with the provisions hereof, then NASDAQ’s determination (the “Final Audit”) shall be deemed conclusive.
       
    6. If the Final Audit determines an underreporting, underpayment or other financial non-compliance with this Agreement (and/or discloses additional underreported or underpaid amounts or other financial non- compliance), then such amounts shall be remitted to NASDAQ, together with applicable interest within sixty (60) days of the completion of the Final Audit.

    9. If the Final Audit reveals any material non-financial non-compliance with the NASDAQ Requirements, Subscriber shall submit all applicable materials demonstrating compliance with the NASDAQ Requirements, where reasonably practicable, within one hundred fifty (150) days after receipt of the preliminary audit response. If Subscriber fails to demonstrate compliance during this cure period, NASDAQ may, in its discretion at any time, with prior notice to Subscriber, terminate as provided in Section 12 of this Agreement.
       
    10. If the Final Audit discloses an overpayment, then NASDAQ will apply the overpayment for the sixty (60) days prior to the end of the period being reviewed as a credit against amounts due from Subscriber.

In no event will the liability of the third-party information providers or their affiliates to Subscriber or any other Person seeking relief through Subscriber pursuant to any cause of action, whether in contract, tort or otherwise, exceed the fee paid by Subscriber or any other Person seeking relief through Subscriber, as applicable.

This right is conditioned on the indemnified party giving prompt written notice to the indemnifying party (as does not prejudice the defense) of the Claims or Losses and providing cooperation in the defense of the Claims or Losses (without waiver of attorney-client, work-product or other legal privilege, or disclosure of information legally required to be kept confidential).
     
  12. TERMINATION. Subscriber acknowledges that NASDAQ, when required to do so in fulfillment of statutory obligations, may by notice to Distributor unilaterally limit or terminate the right of any or all Persons to receive or use the Information and that Distributor will immediately comply with any such notice and will terminate or limit the furnishing of the Information and confirm such compliance by notice to NASDAQ. Any affected Person will have available to it such procedural protections as are provided by the Act and applicable rules thereunder. In addition to terminations permitted under the Distributor's agreement, this Agreement may be terminated by Subscriber with thirty (30) days written notice to Distributor and by NASDAQ with thirty (30) days written notice either to Distributor or Subscriber. NASDAQ may also alter any term of this Agreement with ninety (90) days written notice either to Distributor or Subscriber, and any use after such date is deemed acceptance of the new terms. In the event of Subscriber breach, discovery of the untruth of any representation of Subscriber, or where directed by the SEC in its regulatory authority, NASDAQ may terminate this Agreement with not less than three (3) days written notice to Subscriber provided either by NASDAQ or Distributor.

Except as otherwise provided herein, no provision of this Agreement may be amended, modified or waived. If any of the provisions of this Agreement or application thereof to any individual, entity or circumstance is held invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this Agreement, or the application of such terms or provisions to individuals, entities or circumstances other than those as to which they are held invalid or unenforceable, shall not be affected thereby and each such term and provision of this Agreement shall be valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law.

ADDENDUM FOR NONPROFESSIONALS

(To be completed by Nonprofessional Subscribers only)

The purpose of this Addendum is to determine whether you are a "Nonprofessional" for OPRA's purposes. OPRA defines a "Nonprofessional" as a legal person for whom the statements set out in Section 1 of this Addendum are true.

  1. You represent and agree that the following statements are and will continue to be true for so long as you receive OPRA Data as a Nonprofessional:
     
    1. You are either a "natural person" (an individual human being) or a "qualifying trust."* You are not a corporation, partnership, limited liability company, or other form of entity (including any form of trust that does not qualify as a qualifying trust). If you agree, click on "Accept and Agree":
       
    2. If you are a natural person, you shall use the OPRA Data solely in connection with your personal investment activities and the personal investment activities of your immediate family members** and qualifying trusts of which you are the trustee or custodian. If you are a qualifying trust, you shall use the OPRA Data solely in connection with your personal investment activities. In any case, you shall not use the OPRA Data in connection with any trade, business, professional or other commercial activities. If you agree, click on "Accept and Agree":
       
    3. You are not a “Professional.” For a natural person who works in the United States, a “Professional” is a natural person who is: (i) registered or qualified with the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Commodities Futures Trading Commission, any state securities agency, any securities exchange/association, or any commodities/futures contract market/association, (ii) engaged as an "investment adviser," as that term is defined in the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 (whether or not registered or qualified under that Act); or (iii) employed by a bank or other organization exempt from registration under Federal and/or state securities laws to perform functions that would require you to be so registered or qualified if you were to perform such functions for an organization not so exempt. For a natural person who works outside of the United States, a “Professional” is a natural person who performs the same functions as someone who would be considered a “Professional” in the United States. If you agree that you are not a “Professional”, click on "Accept and Agree":
       
  2. You agree to notify Vendor promptly if your circumstances change such that any of the statements in Section 1 of this Addendum would no longer be true for you.

*The term "qualifying trust" means (a) any irrevocable or revocable trust (1) which has only one trustee, who is a natural person and is not receiving any compensation for acting as trustee and (2) of which the only current beneficiaries are any one or more of the trustee and the immediate family members of the trustee, and (b) any custodial account established under a Uniform Transfers to Minors Act or similar state statute (1) which has only one custodian, who is a natural person and is not receiving any compensation for acting as custodian, and (2) of which the beneficiary is a lineal descendant (a child, grandchild, etc.) of the custodian. A "current beneficiary" is a beneficiary to whom the current income or principal of the trust may or must then be distributed, ignoring the possible exercise of any then unexercised power of appointment. The term "immediate family members" is defined in the footnote to paragraph 1(b) of this Addendum.

**The term "immediate family members" means, with reference to a particular natural person, the spouse of that person, that person's lineal ancestors (that is, parents, grandparents, etc.) and lineal descendants (that is, children, grandchildren, etc.), and the spouses (including surviving spouses) of that person's lineal ancestors and lineal descendants. The term includes step and adoptive relationships.

I, the "Subscriber" to which the preceding terms and conditions refer, acknowledge that I have read the preceding terms and conditions of this Section 1, that I understand them and that I hereby manifest my assent to, and my agreement to comply with, those terms and conditions by "clicking" on the following box:
