(a) All charges imposed by FINRA that are past due 45 days or more will be subject to a late fee computed by taking the summation of one and one-half percent (1 ½%) of the amount past due for the first month plus one and one-half percent (1 ½%) of the amount past due for any month thereafter, compounded by late fees assessed for previous months.

(b) To illustrate how late fees are assessed, if an account is past due $1,000 for 45 days, the late fee would be $30.22.

The charges for the month of commencement or termination of service will be prorated based on the number of trade days in that month.

Reports for regular public release, such as a list of closing quotations or market summary information for newspaper publication, shall be produced in a format acceptable to most publishers without charge.

For members that intend to use the ADF for trade reporting only, the charge for connecting to the ADF via a Financial Information eXchange (FIX) line shall be $500 per month.

The following charges shall be paid by ADF participants for use of the System:

FINRA may, upon notice, terminate access to the trade reporting service of the System as to a Participant in the event that a Participant fails to abide by any of the rules or operating procedures of the trade reporting service of the System or FINRA, or fails to honor contractual agreements entered into with FINRA or its subsidiaries, or fails to pay promptly for services rendered by the trade reporting service of the System.

Failure of a Participant or person associated with a Participant to comply with any of the rules or requirements of the System may be considered conduct inconsistent with high standards of commercial honor and just and equitable principles of trade, in violation of Rule 2010.

The data elements specified in Rule 7330(d) are critical to FINRA’s compilation of a transaction audit trail for regulatory purposes. As such, all member firms utilizing the trade reporting service of the System have an ongoing obligation to input 7330(d) information accurately and completely.

If a Participant is reported by the System as a party to a trade that has been treated as locked-in and sent to DTCC, notwithstanding any other agreement to the contrary, that party shall be obligated to act as a principal to the trade and shall honor such trade on the scheduled settlement date.
