1 All removal rates on EDGA are contingent on the attributed MPID adding (including hidden) and/or routing a minimum average daily share volume, measured monthly, of 50,000 shares on EDGA. Any attributed MPID not meeting the aforementioned minimum will be charged $0.0030 per share for removing liquidity from EDGA for securities priced $1.00 and over and 0.20% of dollar value for securities priced less than $1.00.
2 Rates for Flags HA and HR are contingent upon Member adding or removing greater than 1,000,000 shares non-displayed (hidden) on a daily basis, measured monthly (yield Flags HA, HR, DM, DT and RP) or Member posting greater than 8,000,000 shares on a daily basis, measured monthly. For securities priced at or above $1.00, Members not meeting either minimum will be charged $0.0030 per share for Flags HA and HR. For securities priced below $1.00, Members not meeting either minimum will be charged 0.30% of the dollar value of the transaction.
3 Intentionally omitted.
4 If a Member, on a daily basis, measured monthly, posts more than 1% of the Total Consolidated Volume (“TCV”) in average daily volume on EDGA, including non-displayed orders that add liquidity, then the Member will be charged $0.0005 per share for Flags B, V, Y, 3 and 4. TCV is defined as volume reported by all exchanges and trade reporting facilities to the consolidated transaction reporting plans for Tapes A, B and C securities for the month prior to the month in which the fees are calculated.
If a Member, on a daily basis, measured monthly, posts more than .25% of the TCV on EDGA, including non-displayed orders that add liquidity, and removes more than .25% of TCV in average daily volume, then the Member will be charged $0.0005 per share.
If a Member, on an MPID basis, posts more than .10% of the TCV on EDGA, on a daily basis, measured monthly, more than the MPID’s December 2012 added TCV, then the MPID will be charged $0.0005 per share for Flags B, V, Y, 3 and 4. Where an MPID’s December 2012 TCV is zero, then the Exchange applies a default TCV baseline of 10 million shares. Volume from non-displayed orders that add liquidity will count towards this tier.
5 Capped at $10,000 per month per Member.
6 If Member posts an average of 100,000 shares or more per day using strategy ROLF (yielding Flag M), then said Member’s fee when removing liquidity from LavaFlow decreases to $0.0023 per share (yielding Flag U).
7 Intentionally omitted.
8 Flag D is assigned if an SWPA, SWPB, or SWPC routing strategy removes liquidity from NYSE.
9 A Flag "O" will be yielded and a fee of $0.0005 per share will be assessed if an order is routed to NYSE Arca & BATS BZX's closing process.
10 A Flag "RX" will be yielded and a fee of $0.0027 per share will be assessed when an order is routed to EDGX Exchange using the ROUT routing strategy.
11 A Flag "I" will be yielded and a fee of $0.0030 per share will be assessed when an order is routed to EDGX Exchange.

15 The eligible routing strategies for Flag PR are ROUZ, ROUD, or ROUQ.
16 If a Member posts greater than or equal to 0.30% of the TCV in ADV on EDGA and routes 2.5 million shares through the use of Flag Q, then the Member’s rate for Flag Q decreases to $0.0015 per share. If a Member executes greater than or equal to an average daily volume of 12 million shares using the ROUC routing strategy and yielding Flags C, D, I, K, Q, X, BY, CR and MT, then the Member’s rate for Flag Q decreases to $0.0015 per share.
If a Member posts greater than or equal to 0.30% of the TCV in ADV on EDGA and routes 5 million shares through the use of Flag Q, then the Member’s rate for Flag Q decreases to $0.0010 per share.
17 If a Member executes greater than 2 million shares per day, measured monthly, using routing strategy RMPT (i.e., receiving flags PA, PT and PX), then the Member’s rates for PT and PX are reduced to $0.0008 per share.
aUpon a Member's request, EDGA will aggregate share volume calculations for wholly owned affiliates on a prospective basis.
b Trading activity on days when the market closes early does not count toward volume tiers.
c Reserved.
