Instrument 33-109 - Registration Information (collectively, the "Instrument") and pursuant to
Manitoba and Ontario Securities Commission Rules 31-509 (Commodity Futures Act) National

details on the Instruments and NRD can be found in Companion Policy 31-102CP, Companion

operated on behalf and for the benefit of the participating Canadian securities regulatory
authorities (collectively, the “Canadian Securities Administrators” or "CSA") by the British
Columbia Securities Commission, Alberta Securities Commission, Ontario Securities
Commission and Autorité des marchés financiers through their third party service provider.
The use of NRD and the NRD website by or on behalf of the firm is subject to NRD Form 1 and
the following terms and conditions of use agreed to between the Alberta Securities Commission
(the “ASC” or “NRD Administrator”),
as the CSA member authorized to grant licenses and enter
into agreements with users of NRD and the NRD website, and the firm (the "Agreement"):
1. Firm Responsibilities. Following completion of enrolment in NRD, a firm's authorized
firm representatives and individual filers may access and use the NRD website only by the
provision of a valid user ID, password and, if applicable, a personal identification number. A
firm's authorized firm representatives consist of the chief AFR appointed by the firm, any AFR
administrators appointed by the chief AFR and any other AFRs appointed by the chief AFR or
by an AFR administrator (collectively, the "AFRs"). Only AFRs may use NRD on behalf of the
firm to make NRD submissions and electronic payments of fees.

NRD Form 1 – Enrolment of Firm (06/12/13)
For the purposes of the firm's NRD submissions, the firm shall ensure that:
(a) only its AFRs and individual filers will be permitted access to and use of the NRD
website; and
(b) it has implemented and maintains reasonable security precautions to control the
access and use of NRD including the protection of user IDs, passwords and if
applicable, personal identification numbers. The authority of the chief AFR to
act on behalf of the firm shall remain in effect until the NRD Administrator
receives written notice to the contrary from the firm. The firm acknowledges and
agrees that it is solely responsible for any access and use of the NRD website by
its AFRs and individual filers. In the event that any conduct of the firm or any of
its AFRs or individual filers is harmful to the operation of NRD and/or the NRD
website, the NRD Administrator reserves the right to deactivate a user ID or
otherwise prevent or restrict any AFRs, individual filers and/or unauthorized
individuals from access to use all or any part of the NRD website immediately
and without notice. Access may be prevented or restricted as long as such
conduct continues.
2. Authorized Use of the NRD website. The firm shall use the NRD website and any links
to other web sites from the NRD website ("Linked Sites") in accordance with the NRD User
Guide and for lawful purposes only. The firm agrees not to introduce into or through the NRD
website any information or materials that may be harmful to others.
The firm shall not use NRD, the NRD website or Linked Sites in any manner that, based on the
reasonable knowledge or belief of the firm, could damage, disable, overburden, or impair NRD
or the NRD website or interfere with any other person's use of NRD or the NRD website. The
firm shall not use any robot, spider or other automatic device, software program or manual
process in a manner that interferes with any web pages on NRD, the NRD website or Linked
Sites.
3. Payments. The firm agrees to pay all NRD enrolment fees, NRD submission fees, NRD
annual system fees and other fees and charges for services, plus applicable taxes, duties and
other levies, as such fees and charges are set out in Multilateral Instrument 13-102 System Fees
for SEDAR and NRD, a regulator notice or this Agreement. In the case of NRD submission fees,
NRD annual system fees and other fees or charges, such fees and charges shall be paid in NRD
by electronic pre-authorized debit using the NRD account.
The firm acknowledges that electronic payments for the firm may be authorized by any of the
AFRs. It is the firm's responsibility to ensure that the NRD account stays current and available
for electronic payments of NRD fees and charges, as those NRD fees and charges become due.
The firm agrees to cease initiating or authorizing electronic payments from the NRD account
immediately upon revocation or cancellation by the NRD account holder of the NRD account
holder's NRD Form 3.
The firm agrees to pay interest on all unpaid fees and charges at the rate set forth, if any, in the
applicable rule or instrument from and after the due date.

(the "Proprietary Content"). All rights are reserved. Any unauthorized use, reproduction,
modification or distribution of the Proprietary Content is strictly prohibited and may cause the
ASC and the other members of the CSA serious damages for which money damages may not
constitute a sufficient remedy and in such instances the ASC and the other members of the CSA
may seek and obtain injunctive relief, in addition to any other remedies.
5. Privacy. Personal information contained in NRD and on the NRD website are governed
by privacy laws, including without limitation, public sector privacy laws applicable to the
securities regulatory authorities and private sector privacy laws applicable to your firm, as the
case may be. The firm is fully responsible for compliance with all applicable privacy laws. You
acknowledge and agree that your firm’s access and use of NRD and the NRD website are subject

the ASC, the other members of the CSA and any of their respective employees, agents, officers,

disclaim all warranties, representations or conditions of any kind, whether express or implied,
including the implied warranties or conditions of merchantability and fitness for a particular
purpose. The ASC and the CSA Related Parties make no representations, warranties or conditions
about the accuracy, reliability, completeness, currency, quality, timeliness or usefulness of NRD,
the NRD website or any goods, information or service provided through NRD or the NRD
website. The ASC and the CSA Related Parties are not responsible for, nor do they independently
verify, any of the content nor do they assume any obligation to update content or advise on
further developments relating to NRD. The firm should not assume that NRD or the NRD website
will be error-free, timely, accurate, and complete or that NRD or the NRD website will operate
without interruption.
In no circumstances shall the ASC and the CSA Related Parties or other third parties mentioned
on NRD or the NRD website be liable for any indirect, special, incidental, consequential or
punitive damages or damages for lost profits arising out of or in connection with this Agreement
or the use of or inability to make use of NRD or the NRD website, the content or any service

NRD Form 1 – Enrolment of Firm (06/12/13)
provided through NRD or the NRD website, whether based on warranty, contract, tort, negligence
or any other legal theory, irrespective of notice. To the extent that some jurisdictions do not allow
exclusions or limitations on some categories of damages, these exclusions or limitations may not
apply to the firm. Notwithstanding the express exclusions and limitations set out in this
Agreement, any and all liability of the ASC and the CSA Related Parties for actual and direct
damages, unless caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the ASC, is limited to
the repayment to the firm, without duplication, in respect of the specific filing or use of NRD or
the NRD website (the "claim") to a maximum amount of the fees paid in respect of which the
filing or use of NRD or the NRD website was made, less amounts, if any, repaid to the firm for

website including but not limited to use by AFRs, by individual filers and/or unauthorized
individuals.
8. Links to Other Sites. The NRD website may contain Linked Sites. Unless specifically
noted, the Linked Sites, and/or the content, goods or services sold or made available on the
Linked Sites, are not under the control of the ASC and accordingly the ASC does not assume any
responsibility for the same. The Linked Sites are provided only as a convenience, and the
inclusion of any link does not imply that ASC guarantees, recommends, approves, warrants or
endorses the site, or any content, goods or services sold or made available on or through the site,
or any association with its operations. Use of any Linked Sites is entirely at the firm's own risk.
Nothing in this Agreement grants the firm any rights or authorization with respect to any Linked
Sites.

in force in the province of Alberta and the laws of Canada applicable therein.
10. Modification of Agreement. The NRD Administrator may modify this Agreement at any
time(s) by either posting notice of such modified agreement on the NRD website or by delivering
a notice and copy of such modified agreement to the firm, and the firm agrees that it is deemed to
have accepted such modification as is in effect at the time if, after such time, the AFRs and/or
individual filers continue to access and use NRD or the NRD website. In the event of the
foregoing, the firm agrees that it shall be bound by the provisions of the modified Agreement
