in the Restriction Notice for each Restricted Order submitted by the
Restricted User after the Restriction Effective Date, regardless of whether
the Restricted Order was fulfilled or cancelled. The Administrative Fee

individual basis and shall not be consolidated with any Claim of any
other party whether through class action proceedings, class arbitration
proceedings or otherwise.
