Each participant will be charged a monthly fee for use of the FINRA/NYSE Trade Reporting Facility. The amount of the monthly fee for a participant will depend on the number of tape eligible trade reports that the participant submitted to the FINRA/NYSE Trade Reporting Facility during the relevant calendar month (“Tape Eligible Trade Reports”).
A transaction is attributed to a participant if the participant is identified as the executing party in a tape report submitted to the FINRA/NYSE Trade Reporting Facility. The amount of Tape Eligible Trade Reports is calculated in aggregate across all Tapes (Tape A, Tape B, Tape C) and only includes shares reported to the Tapes.
The monthly fee will be calculated as follows:
Tape Eligible Trade Reports | Monthly Participant Fee |

| Greater than or equal to 20 million reports | $50,000 |
