(a) PSX TotalView Entitlement

The PSX TotalView entitlement allows a subscriber to see all individual Nasdaq PSX participant orders displayed in Nasdaq PSX, the aggregate size of such orders at each price level, and the trade data for executions that occur within Nasdaq PSX.

(1) Except as provided elsewhere in this rule, for the PSX TotalView entitlement there will be a $40 monthly charge for each Subscriber for display usage or for nondisplay usage not based upon Direct Access.

This fee waiver will be applied to the first full month of charges following the date on which a new individual Subscriber or potential individual Subscriber is first entitled by a distributor to receive access to PSX TotalView. A distributor may only provide this waiver to a specific individual Subscriber once. For the period of any waiver, the PSX TotalView fees of $40 or $50 per Subscriber per month, as applicable, (professional) or $1 per Subscriber per month (non-professional) will be waived.

The Exchange shall approve a request unless it determines that the certification is not accurate.

(2) If two or more member organizations become affiliated on or prior to the sixteenth day of a month, and submit the required request for aggregation on or prior to the twenty-second day of the month, an approval of the request by the Exchange shall be deemed to be effective as of the first day of that month.

PSX Pre-Trade Risk Management

(a) Users of PSX Pre-trade Risk Management ("PRM") will be assessed a monthly fee based on the following table, and such fees will not exceed $25,000 per member firm, per month:

(b) Users of PRM services specified below will be assessed the following charges in addition to the applicable PRM-enabled port charges:

PSX Market Data Revenue (“MDR”) Rebate

(a) Assuming the requirements of this PSX MDR Rebate Section are met, a PSX Participant may receive a quarterly MDR rebate in proportion to the PSX Participant’s quoting of displayed orders in Tape A and C securities from the previous calendar quarter (“MDR Rebate”), as described further in Section (e) below.

(b) To qualify for the MDR Rebate, a PSX Participant must quote at the NBBO at least 25% of the time during Market Hours in an average number of securities specified below in either Tape A or Tape C through the PSX Participant’s MPID.  For purposes of this Section, a PSX Participant is considered to be quoting at the NBBO if the PSX Participant’s MPID quotes a displayed order of at least 100 shares in the security and prices the order at either the national best bid or the national best offer or both the national best bid and offer for the security.  To qualify for the MDR Rebate, the PSX Participant must meet the requirement for an average number of securities (specified below) in either Tape A or Tape C per day over the course of the quarter.

(c) MDR will be calculated separately for quotes in each Tape A and C security, for a total of two MDR pools. If the MDR received by the Exchange in any given pool exceeds the following thresholds in any given calendar quarter, 40% of such excess MDR will be payable to PSX Participants in proportion to their respective quoting of displayed orders in that pool.

(d) A PSX Participant will not be paid an MDR Rebate in any calendar quarter in which the total MDR Rebate attributable to the PSX Participant is less than $500.

(e) If excess MDR exists in any given pool, MDR Rebates will be calculated according to the following steps:

Step 1. Calculate, on a daily basis (per MPID), the product of three factors: number of shares in the quotation, the duration of the quotation at the NBBO (for both the bid and the offer), and the price of the security.

Step 2. For each security, sum the daily values from Step 1 across the quarter, the sum of which represents the PSX Participant’s quote credits (per MPID) in each security.

Step 3. For each security, sum all PSX Participants’ quote credits to obtain the total quote credits available per security.

Step 4. Divide each PSX Participant’s quote credits (per MPID) (from Step 2) into the total quote credits available per security (from Step 3) to obtain a Participant’s percentage of the security they are quoting (per MPID).

Step 5. Calculate the income allocation weight for each security based on the share of revenue allocated to the symbol by the SIP that quarter.

Step 6. For each security, multiply a PSX Participant’s percentage of security they are quoting (per MPID) (from Step 4) by the income allocation weight of the security (from Step 5).

Step 7. For each PSX Participant’s MPID, sum the values calculated in Step 6 across all securities in the pool (i.e., in the same Tape) to obtain the PSX Participant’s allocation percentage for the excess MDR in the pool.

Step 8. For each PSX Participant with eligible quote activity in the pool, multiply the PSX Participant’s allocation percentage (from Step 7) by the excess MDR in the pool to determine the dollar amount of the PSX Participant's MDR Rebate in the pool.

Example:

Step 1. On the first day of the quarter, PSX Participant A earns 59,000 quote credits in MPID 1 for Security X (a Tape C security): 59 seconds x $10 x 100 shares.

Step 2. Assume PSX Participant A earns 4,000,000 quote credits for Security X in MPID 1 after summing its daily quote credits across the quarter.

Step 3. Assume there are five PSX Participants (i.e., Participants A, B, C, D and E) that had eligible quote activity in Security X during the quarter. The quarterly quote credits for Security X are as follows:

Step 4. PSX Participant A’s percentage of Security X it quoted is 25%: 4,000,000/16,000,000.

Step 5. Assume the SIP allocated revenue of $360,000 to Security X for the quarter and $36,000,000 to all securities in the Tape C pool for the quarter. The income allocation weight for security X is 1%: $360,000/$36,000,000.

Step 6. PSX Participant A’s allocation percentage for the excess MDR in Security X in MPID 1 is 0.25%: 25% x 1%.

Step 7. Assume, after summing the allocation percentage calculated in Step 6 across all securities in the Tape C pool, PSX Participant A’s allocation percentage is 2.5% in MPID 1.

Step 8. Assume PSX Participant A quoted at the NBBO at least 25% of the time during Market Hours in an average of at least 300 securities in Tape C through MPID 1, in accordance with section (b) above.

The following table represents the proposed MDR pool thresholds:

Under this Example, assume that the quarterly MDR paid to the Exchange is apportioned as follows:

Under this Example, the Tape C pool has excess MDR in the amount of $150,000. However, the Tape A pool has no excess MDR because the actual MDR received in the Tape A pool was equal to its $110,000 threshold. Thus, PSX Participants may be paid MDR Rebates for attributed eligible quoting activity from 40% of the excess MDR in the Tape C pool, which is $60,000.

The attributed MDR for PSX Participant A in MPID 1 is $1,500: 2.5% x 60,000.

Since the attributed MDR is greater than $500, PSX Participant A would receive an MDR payment in the amount of $1,500.

A. Permit and Registration Fees

PSX Only Permit Fees:

Members and member organizations: $4,000 in a given month, unless the member or member organization averages at least 1,000 shares executed per day in a given month, or the extent of the member's or member organization's business on PSX is limited to clearing-only, in which case the Permit Fee will be $0.00. The business of a member or member organization is considering "clearing-only" if it does not execute any trades on PSX throughout a given month, it maintains no active connections to do so (either under its own MPID or through a sponsored access relationship on behalf of another member or member organization), and it maintains PSX membership for the sole purpose of clearing trades on behalf of another member or member organization that is actively trading on PSX.

An applicant will be assessed the Application Fee each time an applicant applies for membership, notwithstanding the fact that the applicant may have been a former permit holder.

The Exchange will not assess the Initiation Fee on a permit holder who applies to transfer affiliation from one member organization to another member organization if the permit holder continuously held his or her permit without any lapse in membership.

* Applicants that apply for membership solely to participate in the Nasdaq PSX equities market are not assessed an Application Fee, Initiation Fee, or Account Fee. Should such approved member or member organization subsequently elect to engage in business on the Exchange's options platform, the Initiation Fee and Account Fee will apply.

• Permit Fees: The Exchange has established the date of notification of termination of a permit as the date that permit fee billing will cease. The Exchange will not bill a member organization for more than one monthly permit fee if the member organization transfers an existing permit to another valid permit holder that is primarily affiliated with the member organization, as set forth in Rules 908(f) and 910, provided that the transfer from one permit holder to another occurs within the same business day. Additionally, a permit holder will be billed only one monthly permit fee if the holder transfers from one member organization to another previously unrelated member organization as a result of a merger, partial sale or other business combination during a monthly permit fee period in order to avoid double billing in the month the merger or business combination occurred.

• The Initiation Fee is imposed on a new member upon the issuance of a permit, notwithstanding the fact that the new member may have been a former permit holder.

B. Regulatory, Registration, and Processing Fees

A list of fees that will be collected and retained by FINRA via the Web CRD registration system for the registration of associated persons of Exchange members that are not also FINRA members is available within Options 7, Section 9C.

(a) Under Section 31 of the Exchange Act, the Exchange must pay certain fees to the SEC. To help fund the Exchange's obligations to the Commission under Section 31, a Covered Sale Fee is assessed by the Exchange to members and member organizations. To the extent there may be any excess monies collected under this Rule, the Exchange may retain those monies to help fund its general operating expenses.

(b) Each member and member organization engaged in executing sale transactions on the Exchange or executing transactions on another exchange or on a Participant in FINRA's Alternative Display Facility ("ADF Participant"), which were routed through the Exchange's Routing Facility, as defined in Options 5, Section 4(a)(ii)(A) during any computational period shall pay a Covered Sale Fee equal to (i) the Section 31 fee rate multiplied by (ii) the member's aggregate dollar amount of covered sales.

(c) A Covered Sale Fee is assessed by the Exchange to each member for sales of securities in the following circumstances:

(i) When a sale in equity securities occurs with respect to which the Exchange is obligated to pay a fee to the SEC under Section 31 of the Act.

(ii) When a sale in option securities occurs with respect to which the Exchange is obligated to pay a fee to the SEC under Section 31 of the Act.

(iii) When a sell order in option securities is routed for execution at a market other than the Exchange's options market, resulting in a covered sale on that market and an obligation of the Exchange's Routing Facility to pay the related sales fee of that market.

(d) The Covered Sale Fee is collected indirectly from members through their clearing firms by a designated clearing agency, as defined by the Act, on behalf of the Exchange.
