not disclose any Non-public Personal Information received in connection
with the Agreement to any other party, except to the extent as necessary to
carry out the services set forth in this Agreement or as otherwise
permitted by law and regulation, and in such cases only after receipt of
written authorization from the other party to the Agreement.
2. Section 2 of the Agreement is hereby deleted and replaced with the
following new Section 2:
"For the services provided by FTC under this Agreement, the Company will
pay to FTC a quarterly service fee for accounts traded under the nominee
