The term "Broker-Dealer" or ("B") applies to any transaction which is not subject to any of the other transaction fees applicable within a particular category.

The term "Common Ownership" shall mean Participants under 75% common ownership or control. Common Ownership shall apply to all pricing in Options 7, Section 2 for which a volume threshold or volume percentage is required to obtain the pricing.

The term "NOM Market Maker" or ("M") is a Participant that has registered as a Market Maker on NOM pursuant to Options 2, Section 1, and must also remain in good standing pursuant to Options 2, Section 9.

All Professional orders shall be appropriately marked by Participants.

(b) For Purposes of Common Ownership Aggregation of Activity of Affiliated Members and Member Organizations

(1) For purposes of applying any options transaction fee or rebate where the fee assessed, or rebate provided by NOM depends upon the volume of an Options Participant's activity, an Options Participant may request that NOM aggregate its activity with the activity of its affiliates.

(A) An Options Participant requesting aggregation of affiliate activity shall be required to certify to NOM the affiliate status of entities whose activity it seeks to aggregate prior to receiving approval for aggregation, and shall be required to inform NOM immediately of any event that causes an entity to cease to be an affiliate. NOM shall review available information regarding the entities, and reserves the right to request additional information to verify the affiliate status of an entity. NOM shall approve a request unless it determines that the certification is not accurate.

(B) If two or more Options Participants become affiliated on or prior to the sixteenth day of a month, and submit the required request for aggregation on or prior to the twenty-second day of the month, an approval of the request by NOM shall be deemed to be effective as of the first day of that month. If two or more Options Participants become affiliated after the sixteenth day of a month, or submit a request for aggregation after the twenty-second day of the month, an approval of the request by NOM shall be deemed to be effective as of the first day of the next calendar month.

(2) For purposes of applying any options transaction fee or rebate where the fee assessed, or rebate provided, by NOM depends upon the volume of an Options Participant's activity, references to an entity (including references to a "Options Participant") shall be deemed to include the entity and its affiliates that have been approved for aggregation.

(3) For purposes of options pricing, the term "affiliate" of an Options Participant shall mean any Options Participant under 75% common ownership or control of that Options Participant.

The term "Appointed MM" is a NOM Market Maker who has been appointed by an Order Flow Provider ("OFP") for purposes of qualifying as an Affiliated Entity. An OFP is a Participant, other than a NOM Market Maker, that submits orders, as agent or principal, to the Exchange.

The term "Appointed OFP" is an OFP who has been appointed by a NOM Market Maker for purposes of qualifying as an Affiliated Entity.

The term "Affiliated Entity" is a relationship between an Appointed MM and an Appointed OFP for purposes of aggregating eligible volume for pricing in Options 7, Sections 2(1) and 2(6) for which a volume threshold or volume percentage is required to qualify for higher rebates or lower fees. NOM Market Makers and OFPs are required to send an email to the Exchange to appoint their counterpart at least 3 business days prior to the last day of the month to qualify for the next month. The Exchange will acknowledge receipt of the emails and specify the date the Affiliated Entity is eligible for applicable pricing in Options 7, Sections 2(1) and 2(6). Each Affiliated Entity relationship will commence on the 1st of a month and may not be terminated prior to the end of any month. An Affiliated Entity Relationship will automatically renew each month until or unless either party terminates earlier in writing by sending an email to the Exchange at least 3 business days prior to the last day of the month to terminate for the next month. Participants under Common Ownership may not qualify as a counterparty comprising an Affiliated Entity. Each Participant may qualify for only one (1) Affiliated Entity relationship at any given time.

(c) With respect to Options 7, Sections 2(1) and (2) the order that is received by the trading system first in time shall be considered an order adding liquidity and an order that trades against that order shall be considered an order removing liquidity.

(d) For purposes of determining equity tier calculations under this section, any day that the market is not open for the entire trading day will be excluded from such calculation.

(a) Removal of Days for Purposes of Options Pricing Tiers:

(A) Any day that the Exchange announces in advance that it will not be open for trading will be excluded from the options tier calculations set forth in its Pricing Schedule; and (B) any day with a scheduled early market close ("Scheduled Early Close") may be excluded from the options tier calculations only pursuant to paragraph (iii) below.

(ii) The Exchange may exclude the following days ("Unanticipated Events") from the options tier calculations only pursuant to paragraph (iii) below, specifically any day that: (A) the market is not open for the entire trading day, (B) the Exchange instructs Participants in writing to route their orders to other markets, (C) the Exchange is inaccessible to Participants during the 30-minute period before the opening of trade due to an Exchange system disruption, or (D) the Exchange's system experiences a disruption that lasts for more than 60 minutes during regular trading hours.

(iii) If a day is to be excluded as a result of paragraph (i)(B) or (ii) above, the Exchange will exclude the day from any Participant's monthly options tier calculations as follows:

(A) the Exchange may exclude from the ADV calculation any Scheduled Early Close or Unanticipated Event; and

(B) the Exchange may exclude from any other applicable options tier calculation provided for in its Pricing Schedule (together with (ii)(A), "Tier Calculations") any Scheduled Early Close or Unanticipated Event.

provided, in each case, that the Exchange will only remove the day for Participants that would have a lower Tier Calculation with the day included.

Each NOM member, and all applicants for registration, shall be required to provide a clearing account number for an account at the National Securities Clearing Corporation ("NSCC") for purposes of permitting the Exchange to debit any undisputed or final fees, fines, charges and/or other monetary sanctions or other monies due and owing to the Exchange or other charges related to General 2, Section 2.
