(d) A member may be designated as a QMM if:

(2) the member quotes at the NBBO at least 25% of the time during regular market hours in an average of at least 1,000 securities per day during the month. For purposes of this section, a member is considered to be quoting at the NBBO if one of its MPIDs has a displayed order (other than a Designated Retail Order) at either the national best bid or the national best offer or both the national best bid and offer. On a daily basis, Nasdaq will determine the number of securities in which each of a member's MPIDs satisfied the 25% NBBO requirement. Nasdaq will aggregate all of a member's MPIDs to determine the number of securities for purposes of the 25% NBBO requirement. To qualify for QMM designation, the member must meet the requirement for an average of 1,000 securities per day over the course of the month.

(e) Nasdaq will provide a rebate per share executed (as defined in the below table) with respect to all other displayed orders (other than Designated Retail Orders, as defined in Equity 7, Section 118) in securities priced at $1 or more per share that provide liquidity and were for securities listed on NYSE ("Tape A QMM Incentive"), securities listed on exchanges other than Nasdaq and NYSE ("Tape B QMM Incentive"), or securities listed on Nasdaq ("Tape C QMM Incentive"). Such rebate will be in addition to any rebate payable under Equity 7, Section 118(a):

Nasdaq will provide an additional rebate of $0.000075 per share executed in Tapes A and C and $0.00005 per share executed in Tape B for a QMM’s MPID if the MPID (i) executes shares of liquidity provided that represents above 1.25% of Consolidated Volume during the month; (ii) quotes at the NBBO at least 50% of the time during the month during regular market hours in an average of at least 2,700 symbols per day; (iii) quotes at the NBBO at least 50% of the time during the month during regular market hours in an average of at least 1,200 symbols in securities in Tape A per day; and (iv) executes shares of liquidity provided that represents an increase of at least 0.50% of Consolidated Volume relative to May 2020. For purposes of this rebate, an MPID is considered to be quoting at the NBBO if the MPID has a displayed order (other than a Designated Retail Order) at either the national best bid or the national best offer or both the national best bid and offer. On a daily basis, Nasdaq will determine the number of securities that satisfy the 50% NBBO requirements for the MPID.

Nasdaq will charge a QMM a fee of $0.0030 per share executed for orders in Nasdaq-listed securities priced at $1 or more per share that access liquidity on the Nasdaq Market Center, and charge a QMM a fee of $0.00295 per share executed for orders in securities listed on exchanges other than Nasdaq priced at $1 or more per share that access liquidity on the Nasdaq Market Center; provided, however, that the QMM's volume of liquidity added through one or more of its Nasdaq Market Center MPIDs during the month (as a percentage of Consolidated Volume) is not less than 1.00%. Nasdaq will charge a QMM that meets the criteria of Tier 2 a fee of $0.0029 per share executed for orders in securities listed on exchanges other than Nasdaq priced at $1 or more per share that access liquidity on the Nasdaq Market Center if the QMM has a combined Consolidated Volume (adding and removing liquidity) of at least 3.70%, MOC/LOC volume greater than 0.35% of Consolidated Volume, and provides 0.15% or more of Consolidated Volume through midpoint orders.

If a security is not listed for a full month the number of trading days will only include the days which the security is listed.

Nasdaq may limit the number of DLPs in a security, or modify a previously established limit, upon prior written notice to members.

(3) If a DLP does not meet the performance measurements under paragraph (4) of this section for a given month, fees and credits will revert to the normal schedule under Sections 118(a) and 114. If a DLP does not meet the stated performance measurements for 3 out of the past 4 months, the DLP is subject to forfeit of DLP status for that Qualified Security, at Nasdaq's discretion. A DLP must provide 5 days written notice if it wishes to withdraw its registration in a Qualified Security, unless it is also withdrawing as a market maker in the Qualified Security.

(4) Below are the monthly performance criteria related to the specific fees and rebates provided under paragraph (5) below:

(5) A DLP that satisfies the Market Quality Metrics above, will be eligible to receive the rebates provided in paragraph (A) below in each of its assigned ETPs for which it qualified, and the rebates provided in paragraph (B) in any Tape C ETP that meets the criteria of paragraph (1)(A) above, provided the DLP is a Primary DLP.

These rebates will only apply to the MPID where a member is a Primary DLP:

If there is a Secondary DLP assigned to an ETP, then the following rebate schedule is applied:

• Tiers 1 - 2: an additional $0.0003 per executed share that is in addition to any other rebate the Secondary DLP is eligible for under Equity 7, Sections 114 and 118.

• Tiers 3 - 5: an additional $150 per month that is in addition to any other rebate the Secondary DLP is eligible for under Equity 7, Sections 114 and 118.

The rebate will be in addition to any rebate or credit payable under Equity 7, Section 118(a) and other programs under Equity 7, Section 114.

Adopted Jan. 13, 2006 (SEC Release 34-53128); amended July 31, 2006 (SR-NASDAQ-2006-024); amended Jan. 1, 2007 (SR-NASDAQ-2007-030); amended July 27, 2010 (SR-NASDAQ-2010-093); amended Mar. 28, 2012 (SR-NASDAQ-2012-042); amended Nov. 19, 2018 (SR-NASDAQ-2018-098).

(a) The following charges shall apply to the use of the order execution and routing services of the Nasdaq Market Center by members for all securities priced at $1 or more that it trades. For purposes of calculating Consolidated Volume and the extent of a member's trading activity, the following shall be excluded from both total Consolidated Volume and the member’s trading activity: (1) the date of the annual reconstitution of the Russell Investments Indexes; (2) the dates on which stock options, stock index options, and stock index futures expire (i.e., the third Friday of March, June, September, and December); (3) the dates of the rebalance of the MSCI Equities Indexes (i.e., on a quarterly basis); (4) the dates of the rebalance of the S&P 400, S&P 500, and S&P 600 Indexes (i.e., on a quarterly basis); and (5) the date of the annual reconstitution of the Nasdaq-100 and Nasdaq Biotechnology Indexes. For the purposes of calculating the extent of a member’s trading activity during the month on Nasdaq and determining the charges and credits applicable to such member’s activity, all M-ELO Orders that a member executes on Nasdaq during the month will count as liquidity-adding activity on Nasdaq. Volume from ETC Eligible LOC Orders and ETC Orders shall not be utilized to determine eligibility for any pricing tiers set forth in Section 118(a) to the extent that such eligibility is based upon MOC or LOC volume. For purposes of calculating a member’s qualifications for credits that pertain to providing liquidity set forth in this Section 118(a), the Exchange will calculate a member’s volume and total Consolidated Volume twice.  First, the Exchange will calculate a member’s volume and total Consolidated Volume inclusive of volume that consists of executions in securities priced less than $1.  Second, the Exchange will calculate a member’s volume and total Consolidated Volume exclusive of volume that consists of executions in securities priced less than $1, while also increasing the distinct qualifying volume percentage thresholds, as set forth in this Section 118(a), by 10%.  The Exchange will then assess which of these two calculations would qualify the member for the most advantageous credits for the month and then it will apply those to the member.

As used in this section the following terms shall have the following meanings:

• “ADV” means Average Daily Volume;

• "Consolidated Volume" shall mean the total consolidated volume reported to all consolidated transaction reporting plans by all exchanges and trade reporting facilities during a month in equity securities, excluding executed orders with a size of less than one round lot.

• A “Designated Retail Order” is an agency or riskless principal order that meets the criteria of FINRA Rule 5320.03 and that originates from a natural person and is submitted to Nasdaq by a member that designates it pursuant to this section, provided that no change is made to the terms of the order with respect to price or side of market and the order does not originate from a trading algorithm or any other computerized methodology. An order from a "natural person" can include orders on behalf of accounts that are held in a corporate legal form - such as an Individual Retirement Account, Corporation, or a Limited Liability Company - that has been established for the benefit of an individual or group of related family members, provided that the order is submitted by an individual. Members must submit a signed written attestation, in a form prescribed by Nasdaq, that they have implemented policies and procedures that are reasonably designed to ensure that substantially all orders designated by the member as "Designated Retail Orders" comply with these requirements. Orders may be designated on an order by-order basis, or by designating all orders on a particular order entry port as Designated Retail Orders. If a member’s total rebate for non-Designated Retail Orders (including any supplemental credits provided in Section 114 and Section 118, except the NBBO Program credit provided in Section 114(g)) is greater than its rebate for Designated Retail Orders (including supplemental credits provided in Section 114 and Section 118), then the member shall receive the higher rebate.

(1) Fees for Execution and Routing of Orders

(b) The following charges shall apply to the use of the order execution and routing services of the Nasdaq Market Center by members for all orders at all times for all securities priced at less than $1.

(c) For purposes of assessing Nasdaq Market Center fees and credits hereunder, (1) a Discretionary Order that executes prior to being displayed as a Quote/Order will always be deemed to be accessing liquidity unless it is executed by (or receives delivery of) a displayed Discretionary Order at a price in the discretionary price range of the displayed Discretionary Order, and (2) a Discretionary Order that executes after being displayed as a Quote/Order will always be deemed to be providing liquidity, unless the displayed Discretionary Order executes against (or is delivered to) a Quote/Order that has not been designated "Immediate or Cancel," at a price in its discretionary price range.

(d) Closing Cross and Extended Trading Close

(1) Fees

(2) Tiers Applicable to Market-on-Close and Limit-on-Close ("MOC/LOC") orders executed in the Nasdaq Closing Cross and ETC Eligible Limit on Close and ETC Orders executed in the Extended Trading Close. *Note that volume in ETC Eligible LOC Orders and ETC Orders shall not be utilized to determine eligibility for the Tiers below.

(e) Opening Cross

(1)

(2) Firms that execute orders in the Nasdaq Opening Cross will be subject to fees for such executions up to a monthly maximum of $35,000, provided, however, that such firms add at least one million shares of liquidity, on average per day, per month.

(f) IPO/Halt Cross

Members shall be assessed the following Nasdaq Market Center execution fees for quotes and orders executed in the Nasdaq IPO/Halt Cross:

(g) Reserved

(h) Reserved

(i) Reserved

(j) For purposes of determining average daily volume and total consolidated volume for equity tier calculations under this section, any day that the market is not open for the entire trading day will be excluded from such calculation. In addition, for purposes of calculating Consolidated Volume and the extent of a member's trading activity, expressed as a percentage of or ratio to Consolidated Volume, the following shall be excluded from both total Consolidated Volume and the member’s trading activity: (1) the date of the annual reconstitution of the Russell Investments Indexes; (2) the dates on which stock options, stock index options, and stock index futures expire (i.e., the third Friday of March, June, September, and December); (3) the dates of the rebalance of the MSCI Equities Indexes (i.e., on a quarterly basis); (4) the dates of the rebalance of the S&P 400, S&P 500, and S&P 600 Indexes (i.e., on a quarterly basis); and (5) the date of the annual reconstitution of the Nasdaq-100 and Nasdaq Biotechnology Indexes. The removal of days for purposes of determining options tier calculations under this section will be pursuant to Options 7, Section 2(5)(b) of The Nasdaq Options Market rules.

(k) For the final five trading days of the month in which a member begins providing liquidity directly to Nasdaq that previously had been provided to Nasdaq via a sponsored access relationship, Nasdaq shall calculate liquidity provider rebates for the switching member for the entire month based upon the average daily liquidity provided by that Sponsored access provider for that month. Members may invoke this provision only once, and they must notify Nasdaq in a form specified by Nasdaq five days in advance of beginning to provide liquidity directly to Nasdaq.

(l) For purposes of all calculations under Equity 7, Section 118 for the month of December 2011, Nasdaq will exclude December 27, 2011 if doing so will allow a member to achieve more favorable pricing under the rule.

(m) Excess Order Fee

(1) To deter members from inefficient order entry practices that place excessive burdens on the systems of Nasdaq and other members and that may negatively impact the usefulness of market data, Nasdaq imposes an Excess Order Fee on members with an "Order Entry Ratio" of more than 100. The Order Entry Ratio is calculated, and the Excess Order Fee imposed, on a monthly basis. All calculations under the rule will be based on orders received by Nasdaq during regular market hours (generally, 9:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.) and will exclude orders received at other times, even if they execute during regular market hours.

(2) For each member, the Order Entry Ratio is the ratio of (i) the member's Weighted Order Total to (ii) the greater of one (1) or the number of displayed, non-marketable orders sent to Nasdaq by the member that execute in full or in part. The Weighted Order Total is the number of displayed, non-marketable orders sent to Nasdaq by the member, as adjusted by a "Weighting Factor." The applicable Weighting Factor is applied to each order based on its price in comparison to the national best bid or best offer ("NBBO") at the time of order entry:

Thus, in calculating the Weighted Order Total, an order that was more than 2.0% away from the NBBO would be equivalent to three orders that were 0.50% away. Due to the applicable Weighting Factor of 0x, orders entered less than 0.20% away from the NBBO would not be included in the Weighted Order Total, but would be included in the "executed" orders component of the Order Entry Ratio if they execute in full or part. Orders sent by market makers in securities in which they are registered, through the market participant identifier ("MPID") applicable to the registration, are excluded from both components of the ratio. The following example illustrates the calculation of the Order Entry Ratio:

• A member enters 35,000,000 displayed, liquidity-providing orders:

• The member is registered as a market maker with respect to 20,000,000 of the orders. These orders are excluded from the calculation.

• 10,000,000 orders are entered at the NBBO. The Weighting Factor for these orders is 0x.

• 5,000,000 orders are entered at a price that is 1.50% away from the NBBO. The Weighting Factor for these orders is 2x.

• Of the 15,000,000 orders included in the calculation, 90,000 are executed.

• The Weighted Order Total is (10,000,000 x 0) + (5,000,000 x 2) = 10,000,000. The Order Entry Ratio is 10,000,000 / 90,000 = 111

(3) If a member has an Order Entry Ratio of more than 100, the Order Entry Fee will be calculated by determining the member's Excess Weighted Orders. Excess Weighted Orders are calculated by subtracting (i) the Weighted Order Total that would result in the member having an Order Entry Ratio of 100 from (ii) the member's actual Weighted Order Total.

In the example above, the Weighted Order Total that would result in an Order Entry Ratio of 100 is 9,000,000, since 9,000,000 / 90,000 = 100. Accordingly, the Excess Weighted Orders would be 10,000,000 - 9,000,000 = 1,000,000.

The Excess Order Fee charged to the member will then be determined by multiplying the Applicable Rate by the number of Excess Weighted Orders. The Applicable Rate is determined based on the member's Order Entry Ratio.

In the example above, the Applicable Rate would be $0.005, based on the member's Order Entry Ratio of 111. Accordingly, the monthly Excess Order Fee would be 1,000,000 x $0.005 = $5,000.

(4) Notwithstanding the foregoing, a member will not be subject to the Excess Order Fee if: (i) it has a daily average Weighted Order Total of less than 100,000 during the month; or (ii) as a registered Nasdaq market maker, the member is registered in a daily average of 100 or more issues in a given month.

(n) For purposes of all Consolidated Volume and ADV calculations under this Section for the month of December 2023, Nasdaq will exclude December 13, 2023, if doing so will allow a member to achieve more favorable pricing under the rule.

The charge to be paid by a Nasdaq Member for each entitled user receiving Nasdaq Report Center via NasdaqTrader.com is $250 per month, per MPID (monthly maximum of 100 reports accessed listed under (b) - (f)).* The Nasdaq Report Center includes the following reports (accessing a report listed under (g) - (k) does not count against the monthly report limit):

(a) Reserved

(b) Historical Research Reports

(c) Nasdaq Order Execution and Routing

(d) Market Recap

(e) QView Historical Reports

Nasdaq may modify the contents of the Nasdaq Report Center from time to time based on subscriber interest.

* Nasdaq is in the process of transitioning to a new platform for the reports under Rule 7021. The Rule 7021 reports available on this new platform, Report HQ, will be provided at no additional cost to subscribers. Members currently subscribed to Nasdaq Report Center seeking reports that include FINRA/Nasdaq TRF Chicago historical data must complete a Report HQ Request Form and register with Nasdaq Trading Services so that access may be granted to the Report HQ. All new subscribers to Nasdaq Report Center will also be provided access to Report HQ. All new subscribers to Report HQ seeking to receive reports listed under Rule 7021 will also be provided access to Nasdaq Report Center platform and be subject to the fees under this rule. Unlike Nasdaq Report Center, where each user is provided permission to reports for a single MPID, a Report HQ user may be provided permission to reports for multiple MPIDs. This simplifies access to reports, but will not alter fee liability for access to reports for an individual MPID. Nasdaq will eventually transfer all reports under this rule to Report HQ and phase out the old platform. During the transition period a member may access up to a total of 100 reports under paragraphs (b) - (f) on each platform.

(a) Definitions applicable to this Section.

(1) Depth-of-Book refers to data feeds containing price quotations at more than one price level. The Depth-of-Book data feeds are:

(A) Nasdaq Level 2 means, with respect to stocks listed on Nasdaq, the best-priced orders or quotes from each Nasdaq member displayed in the Nasdaq Market Center; and

(B) Nasdaq TotalView means, with respect to stocks listed on Nasdaq and on an exchange other than Nasdaq, all orders and quotes from all Nasdaq members displayed in the Nasdaq Market Center as well as the aggregate size of such orders and quotes at each price level in the execution functionality of the Nasdaq Market Center.

(2) Display/Non-Display Usage refers to the method by which Subscribers access Depth-of-Book data.

(A) Display Usage means any method of accessing Depth-of-Book data that involves the display of such data on a screen or other visualization mechanism for access or use by a natural person or persons, and

(B) Non-Display Usage means any method of accessing Depth-of-Book data that involves access or use by a machine or automated device without access or use of a display by a natural person or persons.

(A) A Non-Professional Subscriber is a natural person who is not:

(1) registered or qualified in any capacity with the Commission, the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, any state securities agency, any securities exchange or association, or any commodities or futures contract market or association;

(2) engaged as an "investment adviser" as that term is defined in Section 201(11) of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 (whether or not registered or qualified under that Act); or

(3) employed by a bank or other organization exempt from registration under federal or state securities laws to perform functions that would require registration or qualification if such functions were performed for an organization not so exempt.

(B) A Professional Subscriber is any Subscriber other than a Non-Professional Subscriber.

(4) Distributor refers to any entity that receives a feed or data file of Depth-of-Book data directly from Nasdaq or indirectly through another entity and then distributes it to one or more Subscribers.

(B) External Distributors are Distributors that receive a Depth-of-Book feed or data file and then distribute that feed or data file to one or more Subscribers outside the Distributor's own entity.

All Distributors shall execute a Nasdaq Distributor Agreement. Nasdaq itself is a vendor of its Depth-of-Book data feed(s) and has executed a Nasdaq Distributor Agreement and pays the Distributor charge.

(5) Direct/Indirect Access refers to the manner in which a Distributor or Subscriber receives or accesses Nasdaq Depth-of-Book data.

(A) Direct Access has the same meaning as set forth in Nasdaq Equity 7, Section 119(d).

(6) A Controlled Device is any device that a Distributor of Nasdaq Depth-of-Book data permits to: (1) access the Depth-of-Book information or (2) communicate with the Distributor so as to cause the Distributor to access the Depth-of-Book data.

Where a Controlled Device is part of an electronic network between computers used for investment, trading or order routing activities, the Distributor must demonstrate that the particular Controlled Device should not have to pay for an entitlement. For example, in some Display systems the Distributor gives the Subscribers the choice to view the data or not; a Subscriber that chooses not to view it would not be charged. Similarly, in a Non-Display system, users of Controlled Devices may have a choice of basic or advanced computerized trading or order routing services, where only the advanced version uses the information. Customers of the basic service would not be charged.

(7) The term "Trading Platform" shall mean any execution platform operated as or by a registered National Securities Exchange (as defined in Section 3(a)(1) of the Exchange Act), an Alternative Trading System (as defined in Rule 300(a) of Regulation ATS), or an Electronic Communications Network (as defined by Rule 600(b)(23) of Regulation NMS).

(a) Devices (or servers) used in the transportation, dissemination or aggregation of data (distribution) are not necessarily fee liable, but the Distributor should be able to identify such Devices that exist within the market data infrastructure and identify how many Devices are used for distribution separate and apart from the Devices that are used for the reasons listed in the examples below.

(b) Unit of Count

For purposes of counting Non-Display Devices, Distributors are required to report the greater of (i) the number of Subscribers that can modify the application in real-time, or (ii) the number of Devices (usually servers) that receive and benefit from the information.

(1) "Subscriber" is defined as a device or computer terminal or an automated service which is entitled to receive Information. Nasdaq may also use the terms "Interrogation Device" or "Device" or "Access".

If the Distributor is unable to count the physical number of Subscribers or the number of Devices, then the Distributor may submit usage reports for (i) the number of IP addresses, or (ii) the number of hosts that have access to Nasdaq U.S. Information.

(2) Distributors should have a quantifiable and auditable procedure in place to count and exclude all Devices that are non-fee liable. For clarification purposes, the following are considered Devices and should be reported unless otherwise excluded:

(A) Blade server (a type of server);

(B) Rack server; or

(C) FPGA may not necessarily be a server, but if an FPGA is run on a server that server may be fee liable.

(3) Nasdaq does not recognize the following terms to determine whether a device is fee liable for Non-Display purposes:

(A) Cores. Nasdaq understands that Devices may utilize multiple cores or processors to handle market data and trading. If two or more cores sit on the same physical device then Nasdaq would require the Distributor to report one Subscriber.

(B) GPU, Xeon Phi cards, memory or chassis linked to a server utilizing these hardware devices that is already counted.

(C) Virtual machines run on the same Device (whether one or multiple cores) would be reported as one Subscriber.

(c) Non-Display Examples

Examples of fee-liable Non-Display use include, but are not limited to, what is described below. Nasdaq provides these examples to help Distributors understand how Non-Display may be applied.

(1) Automated trading

(A) All automated trading programs, applications, and scripts. Nasdaq recognizes that many programs including, but not limited to workbook software and applications and third party software and applications with auto-quoting/pegging (e.g. Microsoft Excel, GoogleDocs, Numbers for Mac or other third party software) may be utilized to implement an automated trade, and such use would be considered Non-Display. Other similar use cases would also require payment of the Non-Display license.

(B) Orders that are created or delivered via an automated order handling logic.

(C) Automated conditional orders, or complex order chain building whereby an algorithm responds to certain pre-set conditions.

(D) Automated order/quote generation and/or order/quote pegging.

(E) Price referencing for use in algorithmic trading.

(F) Price referencing for use in smart order routing.

(2) Program trading and high frequency trading

(A) The use of automated programs to trade instruments.

(3) Order Verification

(A) An Order Verification program that calculates estimated costs.

(B) An Order Verification program that provides warning/informational messages such as an order at a defined percentage threshold away from the quote.

(4) Automated surveillance programs

(5) Risk management that encompasses auto stop loss/position exiting functions

(A) Risk management, the process of identification and analysis of investment decision making, occurs whenever a person, bank, or other such interested party analyzes and attempts to determine their potential gain or loss and takes the appropriate action depending on their investment objectives.

(B) Automatic order cancellation, or automatic error discovery.

(6) Clearing and settlement activities

(7) Account maintenance (e.g. controlling margin for a customer account)

(8) Hot disaster recovery

(d) For avoidance of doubt, Non-Display is fee liable regardless of whether the Order Management System, Execution Management System, or trading infrastructure is:

(1) Hosted by a vendor or sub vendor;

(2) Located in the cloud;

(3) Installed locally within your own data center;

(4) Enterprise; or

(5) Locally on an individual's desktop or device.

Note: the Non-Display fee structure and reporting requirements may vary depending upon the Nasdaq U.S. Information, but the Non-Display Policy and Unit of Count are consistent across all Nasdaq U.S. Information products.

(e) Non-Display Exclusions

(1) Non-Display does not include any use of Nasdaq U.S. Information that merely enables and in actuality results in output of such use or distribution of the Nasdaq U.S. Information solely in a display. Examples include, but are not limited to:

(A) If an application is updating a portfolio and exposes such Information on the display, this use is not considered Non-Display.

(B) For example, calculating VWAPs or other derived information for use in a Display is not considered Non-Display.

(C) If an application is updating a risk management officer on a trader's position and exposing that information on a display, this is not considered Non-Display (provided there are no automated risk management/position exiting functions).

(D) Authorization and entitlement.

(E) Transportation and cold disaster recovery servers - Distributor needs to identify and show that servers used in this process are only used for transportation of market data or trades, and are not utilized for any other fee-liable purpose identified above. Further, disaster recovery servers utilized in a cold environment are non-fee liable, but hot disaster recovery servers are fee-liable because they are typically optimized for load balancing.

(F) Devices (or servers) used in the transportation, dissemination or aggregation of data (distribution) are not considered Non-Display. The Distributor should be able to identify such Devices that exist within the market data infrastructure and identify how many Devices are used for distribution separate and apart from the Devices that are used for the reasons listed above.

(f) Reporting Examples of Non-Display

(1) Below are some reporting examples of Non-Display:

(A) The Device only displays data with no Non-Display - report one Display Subscriber.

(B) The Device supports both Non-Display and Display - report one Non-Display Subscriber and one Display Subscriber.

(C) The Device supports Display but also Non-Display on a separate server-report one Non-Display Subscriber and one Display Subscriber. Only count the separate Non-Display server once, not with every use of Display.

(D) The Device supports Display but also Non-Display use where the Nasdaq Information for the Non-Display solely originates from another third party distributor - report one Display Subscriber.

(E) The Device supports Display but automated trading is built into the Display-report one Non-Display Subscriber and one Display Subscriber.

(F) The Device supports Display with automated trading functions on a third party software that the Display connects to via an API, DDE or similar solution-report one Non-Display Subscriber and one Display Subscriber.

Note: if a Distributor receives the Information via Direct Access, they do not need to report both a Non-Display Subscriber and a Display Subscriber. They only need to report the Non-Display Subscriber. However, if the Display is on a separate device, remote desktop or similar service then both Non-Display and Display are fee liable.

Adopted Mar. 4, 2016 (SR-NASDAQ-2016-036); amended Nov. 19, 2018 (SR-NASDAQ-2018-098).

(a) A Nasdaq member may enter a non-tape, non-clearing submission into the Automated Confirmation Transaction Service ("ACT") for the purpose of transferring all or a portion of the obligation to pay a Equity 7, Section 202 Sales Fee or similar fee of another self-regulatory organization that is associated with a previously executed trade to one or more other Nasdaq members.

(b) A Nasdaq member may enter a non-tape, clearing-only submission into ACT for the purpose of transferring securities from one member to another, provided that the transfer does not constitute a transaction in securities that is otherwise subject to reporting that has not, in fact, been previously and separately reported as a transaction. When submitting a non-tape, clearing-only submission that is used to transfer a position from one member to another member, the submitting member may also indicate that the obligation to pay a Sales Fee or similar fee associated with the position should be transferred.

(c) When ACT is used to transfer a position along with a Sales Fee or similar fee, all parties to the transfer must be Nasdaq members and may be party to an agreement authorizing the transferring party to enter into "locked in" trades on its behalf. When ACT is used to transfer Sales Fees or similar fees without an accompanying transfer of a securities position, the clearing firms for the trades in question must be parties to an agreement authorizing such transfers between themselves and/or the firms on whose behalf they clear trades.

(d) A Nasdaq member is prohibited from using a non-tape, clearing-only ACT submission for the purpose of effecting a transaction required to be trade reported or reporting a trade for regulatory purposes. Submission of non-tape, clearing, or non-tape, non-clearing records into ACT by Nasdaq members does not satisfy any obligation such members may have to report transactions as required by the applicable rules of other self-regulatory organizations.

(e) Each party to a non-tape, clearing-only submission under this section will pay a fee of $0.029. In addition, a party that uses a non-tape, clearing-only submission or a non-tape, non-clearing submission to transfer a Sales Fee or similar fee will pay a fee of 10% of the dollar value of the transferred fee, with a minimum charge of $0.025 and a maximum charge of $0.25.

(f) Parties with or without an agreement between them allowing a transferring party to enter "locked trades" on the other's behalf may use ACT's "match/compare" functionality to transfer a position. Each party to such matched/compared transfer will be assessed a fee of $0.0144 per 100 shares, with a minimum of 400 shares, up to maximum of 7,500 shares, except in cases where the same participant is on both sides of a transfer in which case the applicable per side fees will be assessed once, rather than twice.

A Distributor is eligible to select from any of the distribution models in this subsection if the conditions under which it distributes Nasdaq Last Sale satisfy the requirements for that distribution model. The fees charged under these distribution models are "stair-stepped," in that Distributors reaching a particular pricing tier are charged lower rates for marginal usage within that tier, but fees are not reduced with respect to usage within a preceding pricing tier.

(1) A Distributor may select a "Per User" model if (i) the Distributor distributes Nasdaq Last Sale solely to Users for Display Usage, (ii) all such Users are either Non-Professionals or Professionals whom the Distributor has no reason to believe are using Nasdaq Last Sale in their professional capacity, and (iii) the Distributor restricts and tracks access to Nasdaq Last Sale using a username/password logon or comparable method of regulating access approved by the Exchange. A Distributor selecting a Per User model will be charged based on the number of Users with the potential to access Nasdaq Last Sale during a month; alternatively, if the Distributor is able to track the number of Users that actually accessed Nasdaq Last Sale during a month, the Distributor will be charged based on the number of such Users.

(A) Nasdaq Last Sale for Nasdaq

(B) Nasdaq Last Sale for NYSE/NYSE American

(2) A Distributor may select a "Per Query" model if (i) the Distributor distributes Nasdaq Last Sale solely to Users for Display Usage, and (ii) the Distributor tracks queries using a method approved by the Exchange. If a Distributor selecting the Per Query model also restricts access using a username/password system, the Distributor may opt to be charged under the Per User model in a particular month if the applicable per query charges that month would exceed the applicable Per User charges.

(A) Nasdaq Last Sale for Nasdaq

(B) Nasdaq Last Sale for NYSE/NYSE American

(3) A Distributor may select a "Per Device" model if (i) it distributes Nasdaq Last Sale for Display Usage in a manner that does not restrict access, and (ii) it tracks the number of unique Devices that access Nasdaq Last Sale during each month using a method approved by the Exchange. A Distributor under the Per Device model will be charged for each unique Device, regardless of whether it is controlled by a single Recipient. Similarly, notwithstanding the inclusion of "simultaneous accesses" within the definition of "Subscriber" in subsection (f), a Distributor under the Per Device model will be charged based on the number of unique Devices without regard to the number of simultaneous accesses by a single Device.

(A) Nasdaq Last Sale for Nasdaq

(B) Nasdaq Last Sale for NYSE/NYSE American

(4) For any customer that would otherwise eligible for the Per User, Per Query, or Per Device fees set forth in subsections (1) through (3) above, excluding any requirement to count or track usage, a Distributor may purchase a monthly enterprise license for $41,500 to distribute Nasdaq Last Sale data to the General Investing Public for Display Usage to an unlimited number of Users or Devices, including, but not limited to, television distribution. To be eligible for the enterprise license, Nasdaq Last Sale must be distributed on platform(s) controlled by the Distributor and pre-approved by the Exchange as providing the Distributor with a reasonable basis to conclude that all Users of such Information are either Non-Professionals or Professionals whom the Distributor has no reason to believe are using Nasdaq Last Sale in their professional capacity. A Distributor that inadvertently exceeds $41,500 in Per User, Per Query or Per Device fees may purchase the enterprise license for the month(s) in which fees exceeded $41,500 without pre-approval.

(c) Distribution Models for Specialized Usage. Distributors that are not eligible for one of the distribution models set forth in subsection (b) must select from any of the fee schedules described in this subsection.

(1) Except as provided in subsections (c)(2) and (c)(3) below, there shall be a per Subscriber monthly charge of $13 for Nasdaq Last Sale for Nasdaq and $13 for Nasdaq Last Sale for NYSE/NYSE American or any Derived Data therefrom.

(2) There shall be a per query fee of $0.0025 of Nasdaq Last Sale for Nasdaq and $0.0015 for Nasdaq Last Sale for NYSE/NYSE American. The per query fees assessed with respect to a Subscriber shall be capped on a monthly basis at the level of the monthly fee as set forth in subsection (c)(1) above.

(3) As an alternative to (c)(1) and (c)(2), a broker-dealer may purchase an enterprise license for internal Subscribers to receive Nasdaq Last Sale or Derived Data therefrom. The fee will be $155,000 per month; provided that the broker-dealer must obtain a separate enterprise license for each external Distributor that controls display of the product if it wishes such external Distributor to be covered by an enterprise license rather than per-Subscriber fees. The enterprise license is in addition to the Distributor Fee listed in (d).

(4) For purposes of calculating the number of Subscribers receiving Nasdaq Last Sale for Display Usage under this subsection (c), the following netting rules will be applied:

(A) A Subscriber that receives access to Nasdaq Last Sale through multiple products controlled by one internal Distributor will be considered one Subscriber.

(B) A Subscriber that receives access to Nasdaq Last Sale through multiple products controlled by one external Distributor will be considered one Subscriber.

(C) A Subscriber that receives access to Nasdaq Last Sale through one or more products controlled by an internal Distributor and also one or more products controlled by one external Distributor will be considered one Subscriber.

(D) A Subscriber that receives access to Nasdaq Last Sale through one or more products controlled by an internal Distributor and also products controlled by multiple external Distributors will be treated as one Subscriber with respect to the products controlled by the internal Distributor and one of the external Distributors, and will be treated as an additional Subscriber for each additional external Distributor. Thus, a Subscriber receiving products through an internal Distributor and two external Distributors will be treated as two Subscribers.

(d) Each Distributor of a Nasdaq Last Sale Data Feed shall also pay a monthly fee of $1,500, unless it is a Distributor under subsection (c) (Distribution Models for Specialized Usage) providing external, or external and internal, distribution, in which case it shall pay a monthly fee of $2,000. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Distributor of two or more products containing Nasdaq Last Sale Information (i.e., Nasdaq Last Sale, Nasdaq Last Sale Plus, or Nasdaq Basic) will be required to pay the highest Distributor fee otherwise applicable to any of the products, but will not be required to pay a Distributor fee with respect to any of the other products.

(e) Nasdaq Last Sale Plus. Nasdaq Last Sale Plus is a comprehensive data feed produced by Nasdaq Information LLC. It provides last sale data from the  Nasdaq U.S. equity markets (The Nasdaq Stock Market ("Nasdaq"), Nasdaq BX ("BX"), and Nasdaq PSX ("PSX")) and the FINRA/Nasdaq Trade Reporting Facility("TRF"). Nasdaq Last Sale Plus also reflects cumulative volume real-time trading activity across all U.S. exchanges for Tape A, B, and C securities. Nasdaq Last Sale Plus also contains the following data from the Nasdaq U.S. equity markets: Trade Price, Trade Size, Sale Condition Modifiers, Adjusted Closing Price, IPO Information, and Bloomberg ID. Additionally, pertinent regulatory Information such as Market Wide Circuit Breaker, Reg SHO Short Sale Price Test Restricted Indicator, Trading Action, and Symbol Directory are included. In addition, Nasdaq Last Sale Plus provides a consolidated end of day trade summary for Tape A, B and C securities. NLS Plus may be received by itself or in combination with Nasdaq Basic.

(1) Firms that receive Nasdaq Last Sale Plus shall pay the monthly administrative fees for Nasdaq Last Sale, BX Last Sale, and PSX Last Sale. Additionally, Internal Distributors or External Distributors shall pay a data consolidation fee of $350 per month. "Internal Distributors" are Distributors that receive Nasdaq Last Sale Plus data and then distribute that data to one or more Subscribers within the Distributor's own entity. "External Distributors" are Distributors that receive Nasdaq Last Sale Plus data and then distribute that data to one or more Subscribers outside the Distributor's own entity.

(2) Firms that receive Nasdaq Last Sale Plus would either be liable for Nasdaq Last Sale fees or Nasdaq Basic fees.

(3) In the event that Nasdaq BX and/or Nasdaq PHLX adopt user fees for BX Last Sale and/or PSX Last Sale, firms that receive Nasdaq Last Sale Plus would also be liable for such fees.

(a) For riskless transactions in which a member, after having received an order to buy a security, purchases the security at the same price to satisfy the order to buy or, after having received an order to sell, sells the security at the same price to satisfy the order to sell, the member may submit, for the offsetting "riskless" portion of the transaction either:

(2) "Nasdaq Basic for NYSE" shall contain Nasdaq's best bid and offer and last sale for NYSE-listed stocks from Nasdaq and the FINRA/Nasdaq TRF.

(3) "Nasdaq Basic for NYSE American" shall contain Nasdaq's best bid and offer and last sale for stocks listed on NYSE American and other Tape B listing venues from Nasdaq and the FINRA/Nasdaq TRF.

(b) User Fees

(1) Except as provided in (b)(2) through (b)(6), for the Nasdaq Basic product, or Derived Data therefrom, there shall be a per Subscriber monthly charge of: $13 for Nasdaq Basic for Nasdaq, $6.50 for Nasdaq Basic for NYSE, and $6.50 for Nasdaq Basic for NYSE American; or

(2) For each Non-Professional Subscriber, there shall be a per Subscriber monthly charge for the following Nasdaq Basic products or Derived Data therefrom, of: $0.50 for Nasdaq Basic for Nasdaq, $0.25 for Nasdaq Basic for NYSE, and $0.25 for Nasdaq Basic for NYSE American; or

(3) There shall be a per query fee for Nasdaq Basic of $0.0025 for Nasdaq Basic for Nasdaq, $0.0015 for Nasdaq Basic for NYSE, and $0.0015 for Nasdaq Basic for NYSE American. The per query fees assessed to individual Professional and Non-Professional users shall be capped on a monthly basis at the level of the monthly fee for each category of Subscribers as set forth above.

(4) As an alternative to (b)(1), a broker-dealer may purchase an enterprise license for internal Professional Subscribers to receive Nasdaq Basic for Nasdaq, Nasdaq Basic for NYSE, and Nasdaq Basic for NYSE American, or Derived Data therefrom. The fee will be $155,000 per month; provided that the broker-dealer must obtain a separate enterprise license for each External Distributor that controls display of the product if it wishes such External Distributor to be covered by an enterprise license rather than per-Subscriber fees. A broker-dealer that purchases an enterprise license under this provision may also receive, at no additional charge, access to Nasdaq Last Sale data (as described in Equity 7, Section 139) for its own stock price and the stock price of up to ten of its competitors or peers, for display use on the broker-dealer's internal website. The enterprise license is in addition to the Distributor Fee listed in (c)(1).

(5) As an alternative to (b)(1) and (b)(2), a broker-dealer may purchase an enterprise license at a rate of $100,000 per month for the distribution of any Nasdaq Basic Product, or Derived Data therefrom, through any electronic system approved by Nasdaq to an unlimited number of Professional and Non-Professional Subscribers who are natural persons and with whom the broker-dealer has a brokerage relationship. A broker-dealer that purchases this enterprise license will also have the right to distribute Nasdaq Last Sale data to the general investing public for Display Usage without paying the fees set forth in Equity 7, Section 139(b), subject to all of the provisions set forth in Section 139(b)(4), excluding those related to the payment of fees, and to distribute Nasdaq Basic to the general investing public via television, websites, mobile devices, or any other unrestricted means of transmission for Display Usage, without paying the fees set forth in Subsection (b)(6) below, subject to all of the provisions set forth therein. Use of the Nasdaq Basic data obtained through this license by any Professional Subscriber shall be limited to the context of the brokerage relationship between that person and the broker-dealer, except that a Distributor may make Nasdaq Basic data obtained through this license available to up to and including 4,500 internal Subscribers operating on an electronic system approved by Nasdaq, which may be used by Professional Subscribers employed by the broker-dealer in support of brokerage services to investors; any distribution to over 4,500 internal Subscribers, or any usage by Professional Subscribers not in support of brokerage services to investors on an approved platform, would be subject to any applicable fees set forth in Equity 7, Section 147(b). A Professional Subscriber who obtains Nasdaq Basic data through a brokerage relationship with the broker-dealer may not use that data within the scope of any professional engagement or registration identified in Equity 7, Section 147(d)(4). A separate enterprise license would be required for each discrete electronic system for distribution of Nasdaq Basic that is approved by Nasdaq and used by the broker-dealer. The enterprise license would allow distribution of Nasdaq Basic through the approved electronic system, but would not cover distribution through any Distributor other than the broker-dealer obtaining the license and any approved system. The broker-dealer must also pay the Distributor Fee for Nasdaq Basic under paragraph (c)(1), and report the number of Subscribers receiving Nasdaq Basic under this license that are used by: (i) Professional and Non-Professional Subscribers in a brokerage relationship at least once per calendar year; and (ii) Professional Subscribers employed by the broker-dealer on a monthly basis.

(6) As an alternative to (b)(1), (b)(2) and (b)(3), an External Distributor may purchase a monthly Media Enterprise License for $100,000 to distribute all or part of Nasdaq Basic for Display Usage to the general investing public. Information may be made available via television, websites, mobile devices, or any other unrestricted means of transmission for Display Usage, to an unlimited number of Users. An External Distributor may use a Hosted Display Solution to distribute the data, provided that the External Distributor purchases a separate Media Enterprise License for each such Hosted Display Solution. Distribution of Derived Data is not permitted within the license. Data may only be used for informational and non-trading purposes. To be eligible for the enterprise license, Nasdaq Basic may only be distributed on a platform that is pre-approved by the Exchange as providing the External Distributor with a reasonable basis to conclude that all Users of such Information are either Non-Professionals or Professionals whom the Distributor has no reason to believe are using Nasdaq Basic in their professional capacity. The External Distributor will also pay the Distributor Fee for Nasdaq Basic set forth in subparagraph (c)(1) of this Section.

(7) For purposes of calculating the number of Professional Subscribers receiving Nasdaq Basic for Display Usage, the following netting rules will be applied:

(A) A Subscriber that receives access to Nasdaq Basic through multiple products controlled by an Internal Distributor will be considered one Subscriber.

(B) A Subscriber that receives access to Nasdaq Basic through multiple products controlled by one External Distributor will be considered one Subscriber.

(C) A Subscriber that receives access to Nasdaq Basic through one or more products controlled by an Internal Distributor and also one or more products controlled by one External Distributor will be considered one Subscriber.

(D) A Subscriber that receives access to Nasdaq Basic through one or more products controlled by an Internal Distributor and also products controlled by multiple External Distributors will be treated as one Subscriber with respect to the products controlled by the Internal Distributor and one of the External Distributors, and will be treated as an additional Subscriber for each additional External Distributor. Thus, a Subscriber receiving products through an Internal Distributor and two External Distributors will be treated as two Subscribers.

(c) Distributor Fees

(1) Each Distributor of any Nasdaq Basic product, or Derived Data therefrom, shall pay a fee of $1,500 per month for internal distribution and a fee of $2,000 per month for external, or external and internal, distribution.

(2) A Distributor may pay $1,500 per month to create and distribute Derived Data from Nasdaq Basic to an unlimited number of non-professional subscribers. This fee is in addition to the Distributor Fee listed in (c)(1).

(3) A Distributor that employs a Hosted Display Solution to distribute Derived Data taken from Nasdaq Basic shall be liable for a fee of $400 per month for each Hosted Display Solution. The monthly fee shall apply whenever such Hosted Display Solution is employed at any time during the month. This fee shall be in addition to any fee listed in (c)(1) or (c)(2).

(d) Definitions.

(A) "Internal Distributors" are Distributors that receive Nasdaq Basic data and then distribute that data to one or more Subscribers within the Distributor's own entity.

(B) "External Distributors" are Distributors that receive Nasdaq Basic data and then distribute that data to one or more Subscribers outside the Distributor's own entity.

(B) A "Professional Subscriber" is any Subscriber other than a Non-Professional Subscriber.

(5) A "Hosted Display Solution" is a product, solution or capability provided by a Distributor in which the Distributor makes available Nasdaq data or Derived Data to an application branded or co-branded with the third-party brand for use by external subscribers of the third-party entity or Distributor.

Hosted Display Solutions include, but are not limited to: (1) "Widgets" (such as an iframe, applet, or other solution), in which the Hosted Display Solution is a part or a subset of a website or platform hosted or maintained by the third-party entity; and (2) "White Labels," in which the Distributor hosts or maintains the website or platform on behalf of the third-party entity.
