In reviewing and approving this Agreement, Broker/Dealer is authorized to act on behalf of the "OPRA Participants", which are those national securities exchanges who, from time to time, are parties to this Plan. The person who acts from time to time as data processor on behalf of OPRA is referred to herein as "OPRA's Processor".

You have the right to withdraw your consent by terminating this Agreement and your receipt of the OPRA Data. Your right to terminate this Agreement and your receipt of the OPRA Data, and the procedure you must follow to do so, are described in paragraph 6 below. If any information needed to contact you electronically changes, the procedure for notifying Broker/Dealer is described in paragraph 11 below. If you wish to have a copy of this Agreement in paper form and you are unable to print a copy on your own computer system, Broker/Dealer will provide you with a paper copy at no charge upon its receipt of your request transmitted as described in paragraph 11. You may access a copy of this Agreement electronically at no charge, if your access to OPRA Data is from a device capable of receiving text, by following the steps below:
