holder through an Automated Service is deemed to be delivered to the account holder on the day that that the Document is
made available through the Homepage or posted to the Message Centre, as applicable, and not on the day that I actually
review the Document. I agree that it is the account holder’s responsibility to monitor the Homepage for Records and the
Message Centre for Notifications on a regular basis but in any event, not less than once every fifteen (15) days. I understand
and agree that RBC DI is not responsible to the account holder in any way for any damages or costs incurred by the account
holder resulting from its failure to review Records made available to the Homepage or Notifications posted to the Message

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, I acknowledge that the Account Agreement provides that account
statements and trade confirmations are deemed to be complete and accurate unless the account holder informs RBC DI
otherwise within a specified period of time and that in certain instances, the account holder has the right under securities
legislation to withdrawal from the purchase of a security offered in distribution within a specified period of time after
receiving a prospectus from RBC DI. In connection with the foregoing, I understand that it is the account holder’s
responsibility to monitor the Homepage for Records and the Message Centre for Notifications in order to comply with the
terms of my Account Agreement or to enforce its rights under securities legislation.
