and any penalties or interest, relating to the provision of the Information
to Subscriber. 3. The Information
is licensed only for the personal use of the Non-Professional Subscriber and
the internal use in the business of the Professional Subscriber. By representing
to Vendor that Subscriber is a non-professional, or by continuing to receive
the Information at a non-professional subscriber rate, Subscriber is affirming

computerized voice, automated information inquiry systems, or similar technologies.
Subscriber may not present the Information rendered in any unfair, misleading,
or discriminatory format. Subscriber shall take reasonable security precautions
to prevent unauthorized Persons from gaining access to the Information. 4. Subscriber acknowledges that NASDAQ,
in its sole discretion, may from time to time make modifications to its system
or the Information. Such modifications may require corresponding changes to
be made in Vendor 's Service. Changes or the failure to make timely changes
by Vendor or Subscriber may sever or affect Subscriber's access to or use of
the Information. NASDAQ shall not be responsible for such effects. 5. NASDAQ grants to Subscriber a
nonexclusive, non-transferable license during the term of the Agreement to receive
and use the Information transmitted to it by Vendor and thereafter to use such
Information for any purpose not inconsistent with the terms of the Agreement
or with the NASD Rules. Subscriber acknowledges and agrees that the Corporations

as a subsidiary of NASD, when required to do so by NASD in fulfillment of NASD's statutory obligations, may by notice to Vendor unilaterally limit or terminate
the right of any or all Persons to receive or use the Information, and that
Vendor 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.

said records and for physical inspection of Vendor 's Service and of Subscriber
's use of the Information, all at reasonable times, upon reasonable notice,
to ensure compliance with this Agreement. 8. To the extent permitted by applicable
law, Subscriber acknowledges and agrees that the termination of the Vendor 's
Service for failure to make payments shall not be deemed or considered to be,
and Subscriber waives any right to represent or assert that any such exercise
constitutes, an act or omission or an improper denial or limitation of access
by NASDAQ to any service or facility operated by NASDAQ as contemplated in Section
11A of the Exchange Act, or any other provision of the Exchange Act, or any
rule, regulation, or interpretation adopted thereunder. 9. NASDAQ 's WARRANTIES/DISCLAIMER

and Track Data Corporation and each of the following exchanges, Chicago
Mercantile Exchange, Chicago Board of Trade, New York Mercantile Exchange, COMEX,
New York Board of Trade (CSCE, NYCE, NYFE, FINEX), and MidAm. 1. DEFINITIONS. (a) "Device" means
any unit of equipment, fixed or portable, that receives, accesses or displays
Market Data in visible, audible or other comprehensible form (b) "Force Majeure
Event" means any flood, extraordinary weather conditions, earthquake or other
act of God, fire, war, insurrection, riot, labor dispute, accident, action of
government, communications or power failures, or equipment or software malfunctions. (c) "Person" means
any natural person, proprietorship, corporation, partnership, limited liability
company or other organization. (d) "Market Data" means
information and data pertaining to futures contracts and options contracts traded
on the Exchanges, that includes, without limitation, opening and closing range

volume data, text messages pertaining to market activity, contract specifications,
fast or late messages and, as determined by each of the Exchanges, may include
information respecting exchange-for-physical (EFP) transactions or against actuals
(AA) transactions. With respect to Subscriber 's obligations under this Addendum,
Market Data includes information, data and materials that are derived from the
foregoing and that convey information to Subscriber that is substantially equivalent
to Market Data. 2. PROPRIETARY RIGHTS
IN THE MARKET DATA. (a) Subscriber acknowledges
and agrees that each of the Exchanges has exclusive and valuable property rights
in and to its own Market Data, that such Market Data constitute valuable confidential
information, trade secrets and/or proprietary rights of each of the Exchanges,
not within the public domain, that such Market Data shall remain valuable confidential
information, trade secrets and/or proprietary rights of each of the Exchanges
at least until the Exchanges place their respective Market Data in the public
domain or authorize placement of their respective Market Data in the public
domain, and that, but for this Addendum, Subscriber would have no rights or
access to such Market Data. Whether or not a particular Exchange has placed
its Market Data in the public domain or has authorized the placement of its
Market Data in the public domain shall be determined according to the terms
of such Exchange 's agreement with Vendor, which agreement is described in Section
3(a). (b) Subscriber acknowledges
and agrees that disclosure of any Market Data, or any breach or threatened breach
of any other covenants or agreements contained herein, would cause irreparable
injury to each of the Exchanges for which money damages would be an inadequate
remedy. Accordingly, Subscriber further acknowledges and agrees that each of
the Exchanges shall be entitled to specific performance and injunctive and other
equitable relief from the breach or threatened breach of any provision, requirement
or covenant of this Addendum (including, without limitation, any disclosure
or threatened disclosure of Market Data) in addition to and not in limitation
of any other legal or equitable remedies which may be available. 3. RECEIPT OF MARKET
DATA BY SUBSCRIBER. (a) Vendor and Subscriber
have entered into an agreement by which Vendor will, among other things, provide
Subscriber with Market Data. Vendor has entered into agreements with each of
the Exchanges whereby Vendor has been granted the right to receive Market Data
and to retransmit the same to Subscriber. This Addendum to the agreement between
Vendor and Subscriber sets forth the terms and conditions upon which Subscriber
may receive and use Market Data. Subscriber acknowledges that, notwithstanding
such agreement, each of the Exchanges may, in its discretion, discontinue disseminating
its own Market Data or change or eliminate its own transmission method, speed
or signal characteristics. In addition, Subscriber acknowledges and agrees that
the Exchanges reserve the right to disapprove any Subscriber and retains the
right to direct Vendor to terminate any Subscriber 's receipt of Market Data
for any reason or no reason, in which event the Exchanges shall so notify Vendor
and Vendor shall cease providing Market Data to Subscriber as soon as practicable. (b) (1) Except
as provided in (2) below, Subscriber will use Market Data only for its own internal
business activities and only at the offices and locations and on the Devices
designated by Subscriber in writing to Vendor from time-to-time. Subscriber
agrees that it will not communicate or otherwise furnish, or permit to be communicated
or otherwise furnished, the Market Data, in any format, to any other party or
any office or location other than that designated above, nor allow any other
party to take, directly or indirectly, any of the Market Data from such offices
or locations, and will adopt and enforce any policy that is reasonable to prevent
the Market Data from being taken therefrom. Subscriber will abide by any other
limitations on such use that any of the Exchanges may specify. Subscriber will
use its best efforts to ensure that its partners, officers, directors, employees
and agents maintain sole control and physical possession of, and sole access
to, Market Data received through Devices in Subscriber's possession. (2) Notwithstanding
(1) above, Subscriber may, in the regular course of its business, occasionally
furnish, to each of its customers, branch offices, and guaranteed introducing
brokers, in a quantity restricted to that necessary to enable Subscriber to
conduct its business, a de minimis number of segments of Market Data. Such redissemination
must be strictly limited to telephonic communications not entailing the use
of computerized voice synthesization or any other technology and must be strictly
related to the trading activity of Subscriber or any such recipients. Any such
recipients must be advised by Subscriber that such segments are proprietary
and confidential information not to be disclosed or disseminated to other persons
or entities. Subscriber agrees to make all reasonable efforts to ensure that
such recipients abide by the provisions of this Addendum. (c) In the event that
Vendor has agreed to permit Subscriber to receive, access or display Market
Data through means other than a Vendor-provided Device, such as by means of:
(i) the Internet, any Intranet or any other type of network; (ii) portable Devices
(e.g., pocket pagers, personal digital assistants, laptop computers,
etc.); and (iii) synthesized voice responses over telephones, Subscriber will
use its best efforts to ensure that no other device, attachment or apparatus
is used which may allow third parties not subject to Subscriber's reporting
obligations under Section 3(b) above to access the Market Data. 4. REPORTING.
Upon request, Subscriber agrees to furnish promptly to Vendor any information
or reports that may be required by any of the Exchanges as applicable and that
is reasonably related to Subscriber 's receipt of Market Data. Subscriber further
agrees to furnish promptly to Vendor any additional information or reports that
may be required by the agreement between Vendor and Subscriber referred to in
Section 3(a) as it relates to Subscriber 's receipt of Market Data. 5. RIGHT OF INSPECTION
AND AUDIT. During regular business hours, any Persons designated by any
Exchange may have access to Subscriber's offices or locations in order to observe
the use made of the Market Data and to examine and inspect any Devices, attachments
or apparatuses, as well as any books and records required to be maintained by
Subscriber under Sections 3(b) and 4 in connection with its receipt and use
of Market Data. Subscriber will make prompt adjustment (including interest thereon
at the rate of 1´ % per month), through Vendor, to compensate any Exchange that
discovers an under-reported use of the Market Data by Subscriber. In addition,
at the election of any such Exchange, Subscriber will be liable for the reasonable
costs of any audit that reveals a discrepancy in such Exchange's favor of five
percent (5%) or more of the amount of fees actually due such Exchange. Subscriber
shall maintain the records and books upon which it bases its reporting for CME,
CBOT or MID-AM Market Data for three (3) years following the period to which
the records relate. Subscriber shall maintain the records and books upon which
it bases the reporting for NYMEX, COMEX or New York Board of Trade Market Data
for six (6) years following the period to which the records and books relate.
In the event that Subscriber fails to retain such records and books as required
above, Subscriber agrees to pay each Exchange's reasonable estimate of any discrepancy
discovered pursuant to any such audit. 6. EXCHANGE FEES.
Subscriber will pay Vendor (unless Vendor has assumed Subscriber 's payment
obligations hereunder), for and on behalf of each of the Exchanges (as applicable),
for the right to receive Market Data in accordance with the then-current fee
schedule published by each of the Exchanges from time-to- time (including any
and all applicable federal, state or local taxes). Each Exchange's fees are
subject to modification by each of them at any time, without prior notice to
Subscriber. In addition, Subscriber agrees to pay Vendor any penalties assessed
against Subscriber by Vendor on behalf of any Exchange. Nothing herein shall
limit a Vendor 's obligation pursuant to separate agreement between Vendor and
any of the Exchanges (as applicable) to pay Exchange fees. 7. COVENANTS, REPRESENTATIONS
AND WARRANTIES OF SUBSCRIBER. Subscriber covenants, represents and warrants
that it is not engaged in the business of distributing Market Data and that,
to its knowledge after reasonable inquiry, it is receiving the Market Data from
a Vendor that is authorized by the Exchanges to distribute the Market Data.
Subscriber agrees that it will not use or permit any other Person to use Market
Data for any illegal purpose. Subscriber agrees that it will not use Market
Data in any way to compete with the Exchanges or Vendor, nor use the Market
Data in any way so as to assist or allow a third party to compete with the Exchanges
or Vendor. Subscriber agrees that the provision of Market Data by the Exchanges
hereunder is conditioned upon Subscriber's strict compliance with the terms
of this Addendum and that Vendor may, with or without notice and with or without
cause, forthwith discontinue said service whenever in its judgment there has
been any default or breach by Subscriber of the provisions hereof, or whenever
directed to do so by any of the Exchanges. 8. DISCLAIMER OF
WARRANTIES. SUBSCRIBER AGREES THAT NEITHER VENDOR NOR THE EXCHANGES MAKE ANY
REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, WITH RESPECT TO THE MARKET
DATA, OR THE TRANSMISSION, TIMELINESS, ACCURACY OR COMPLETENESS THEREOF, INCLUDING,
WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OR ANY WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY,
QUALITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND THOSE ARISING BY STATUTE OR
OTHERWISE IN LAW OR FROM ANY COURSE OF DEALING OR USAGE OF TRADE. 9. LIMITATIONS OF
LIABILITY AND DAMAGES. Subscriber agrees that: (i) the provision of Market
Data is made with equipment, communications devices, and/or leased lines not
owned or operated solely by Vendor or the Exchanges; (ii) neither Vendor nor
the Exchanges, nor their respective members, directors, officers, employees
or agents, guarantees the sequence, accuracy or completeness of the Market Data,
nor shall any of them be liable to Subscriber or any other Person for any delays,
inaccuracies, errors or omissions in Market Data, or in the transmission thereof,
or for any other damages arising in connection with Subscriber 's receipt or
use of Market Data, whether or not resulting from negligence on their part,
a Force Majeure Event or any other cause beyond their reasonable control; and
(iii) if the foregoing disclaimer and limitation of liability should be deemed
invalid or ineffective by a court of competent jurisdiction, neither Vendor
nor the Exchanges, nor their respective members, directors, officers, employees
or agents shall be liable for any of the foregoing beyond the actual amount
of loss or damage, or the sum of fifty dollars ($50.00), whichever is less. 10. TERM AND TERMINATION.
Subject to Subscriber's strict compliance with the provisions of this Addendum,
the provision of Market Data by any of the Exchanges hereunder will continue
in force during the term of the agreement between Subscriber and Vendor and
any renewal term thereof. In addition, it is understood that the provisions
set forth in paragraphs 2(a) and 2(b) of this Addendum shall survive the termination
of this Addendum. 11. INDEMNIFICATION.
Subscriber will indemnify and hold Vendor and the Exchanges, and their respective
members, directors, officers, employees and agents harmless from and against
any and all claims arising out of or in connection with this Addendum, including,
without limitation, any liability, loss or damages caused by any inaccuracy
in or omission from, Subscriber's failure to furnish or to keep, or Subscriber's
delay in furnishing or keeping, any report or record required to be kept by
Subscriber hereunder. 12. MISCELLANEOUS.
In case of any breach by Subscriber of its obligations hereunder, each of the
Exchanges will be considered to be a third-party beneficiary of this Addendum
and may bring an action to enforce its terms directly against Subscriber. Any
action arising out of this Addendum between the CME, CBOT or MID-AM and Subscriber
shall be governed and construed in accordance with the internal laws (and not
the law of conflicts) of the State of Illinois. Any action arising out of this
Addendum between NYMEX, COMEX or New York Board of Trade and Subscriber shall
be governed and construed in accordance with the internal laws (and not the
law of conflicts) of the State of New York. Subscriber may not assign all or
any part of this Addendum without the prior written consent of the Exchanges
(as applicable). Neither Vendor nor Subscriber may modify or amend the terms
of this Addendum. In the event of any conflict between the terms and conditions
of this Addendum and any other agreement relating to Subscriber's receipt and
use of Market Data, including, without limitation, the agreement between Vendor
