Disclaimer
The information presented in this document is provided as is and without warranty. Vulnerability assessments are a “point in time” analysis and as such
it is possible that something in the environment could have changed since the tests reflected in this report were run. Also, it is possible that new
vulnerabilities may have been discovered since the tests were run. Firms may choose to develop or use their own checklist, borrow sections from this
checklist to include in their own checklist, or use a different resource. Use of software does not create a "safe harbor" with respect to
FINRA, PCI and NACHA rules, federal or state securities laws, or other applicable federal or state regulatory requirements. For this reason,
our reports should be considered a guide, not a 100% representation of the risk threatening your systems, networks and applications.

affiliates, officers, directors, partners, trustees, employees, attorneys and agents on any theory of liability, for special, indirect,
consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) (whether or not the claim therefor is based on Contract, tort
or duty imposed by any applicable legal requirement) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement or of any other
agreement between them with respect to the Transactions.
