ARTICLE TWO: GENERAL PROVISIONS

17. This MOU is a statement of intent to consult, cooperate, and exchange information in connection with each of the Authorities' respective functions, responsibilities, oversight, supervision and mandates relating to CCPs. The cooperation and information sharing arrangements under this MOU will be interpreted and implemented in a manner and to the extent that is permitted by, and consistent with, the laws and requirements that govern each Authority. With respect to cooperation pursuant to this MOU, at the date this arrangement is executed, each Authority believes that no domestic secrecy or blocking laws or regulations should prevent it from providing assistance to any other Authority. The Authorities anticipate that cooperation primarily will be achieved through ongoing informal consultations, supplemented as needed by more formal cooperation, including through mutual assistance in obtaining information related to CCPs. The provisions of this MOU are intended to support both informal consultations and formal cooperation, as well as to facilitate the written exchange of non-public information in accordance with applicable laws and apply for both sides equally.

18. This MOU does not create any legally binding obligations, confer any rights, or modify or supersede domestic laws or regulations. This MOU does not confer upon any Person the right or ability directly or indirectly to obtain, suppress, or exclude any information or to challenge the execution of a request for assistance under this MOU.

19. This MOU is not intended to limit or condition the discretion of an Authority in any way in the discharge of its regulatory responsibilities or to prejudice the individual responsibilities or autonomy of any Authority. This MOU does not limit an Authority to taking solely those measures described herein in fulfillment of its supervisory functions or preclude Authorities from sharing information or documents with each other with respect to Persons that are not CCPs, but may be subject to Laws and Regulations in Ontario, Canada and in Germany. In particular, this MOU does not affect any right of any Authority to communicate with, conduct an On-Site Visit of (subject to the procedures described in Article Five), or obtain information or documents from any Person subject to its jurisdiction that is physically located in the territory of another Authority.

20. This MOU is intended to complement, but does not alter, the IOSCO Multilateral Memorandum of Understanding Concerning Consultation and Cooperation and the Exchange of Information (revised May 2012) ("IOSCO MMOU") to which the OSC and BaFin are signatories, which covers primarily information sharing in the context of enforcement matters.

21. This MOU will not impact any arrangements that have been or may be entered into between the OSC and the European Securities and Markets Authority ("ESMA") with regard to their respective responsibilities in connection with CCPs.

22. To facilitate cooperation under this MOU, the Authorities hereby designate contact persons as set forth in Appendix A, which may be amended from time to time by an Authority transmitting revised contact information in writing to the other Authorities.

ARTICLE THREE: SCOPE OF SUPERVISORY CONSULTATION, COOPERATION, AND EXCHANGE OF INFORMATION

a. General supervisory issues, including regulatory, oversight, or other related developments;

b. Issues relevant to the operations, activities, and regulation of CCPs; and

c. Any other areas of mutual supervisory interest.

24. The Authorities recognize in particular the importance of close cooperation in the event that a CCP experiences, or is threatened by, a potential financial crisis or other Emergency Situation.

25. Cooperation will be most useful in, but is not limited to, the following circumstances where issues of common regulatory concern may arise:

b. The ongoing supervision and oversight of a CCP including, for example, compliance with applicable statutory and regulatory requirements in either jurisdiction or with international standards, including the CPMI-PFMIs; and

c. Regulatory or supervisory actions or approvals taken by an Authority in relation to a CCP that may impact the operations of the entity in the jurisdiction of the other Authority or Authorities.

b. Any material event of which the Authority is aware that could adversely impact the financial or operational stability of a CCP including such events as a default or potential default of a Clearing Member or Clearing Participant; market or settlement bank difficulties that might adversely impact the CCP; failure by a CCP to satisfy any of its requirements for continued registration, authorization, licensure, designation, qualification or recognition or exemption therefrom, where that failure could have a material adverse effect in the other jurisdiction; and any known adverse material change in the ownership, operating environment, operations, financial resources, management, or systems and controls of a CCP, including such as material cyberattack, breach in security or material system failure;

36. The Requesting Authority may use non-public information obtained under this MOU solely for the supervision and oversight of CCPs and seeking to ensure compliance with the Laws and Regulations of the Requesting Authority.

37. The Authorities recognize that, while this MOU is not intended to gather information for enforcement purposes, the Authorities may subsequently want to use the non-public information provided pursuant to this MOU for enforcement purposes. In cases where a Requesting Authority that is a signatory to the IOSCO MMOU seeks to use non-public information obtained pursuant to this MOU for enforcement purposes, including in conducting investigations or bringing administrative, civil or criminal proceedings, treatment of the non-public information will be in accordance with the terms and conditions of the IOSCO MMOU, as amended from time to time.

38. Before using non-public information furnished under this MOU for any purpose other than those stated in Paragraph 36 and Paragraph 37, the Requesting Authority must first consult with and obtain the written consent of the Requested Authority for the intended use. If consent is denied by the Requested Authority, the Requesting and Requested Authorities will discuss the reasons for withholding approval and the circumstances, if any, under which the intended use by the Requesting Authority might be allowed.

39. The restrictions in this Article do not apply to an Authority's use of information it obtains directly from a CCP, whether during an On-Site Visit or otherwise. However, where non-public information is provided to the Requesting Authority pursuant to an information-sharing request pursuant to Article Four of this MOU, the restrictions in this MOU apply to the use of the information by that Requesting Authority.

ARTICLE SEVEN: CONFIDENTIALITY OF INFORMATION AND ONWARD SHARING

40. Except as provided in Paragraphs 41-46, each Authority will keep confidential, to the extent permitted by law, non-public information shared under this MOU, requests made under this MOU, the contents of such requests, and any other matters arising under this MOU.

41. Each German Authority may share non-public information obtained from the OSC under this MOU with the other German Authority so long as that other German Authority uses and treats the information in accordance with the terms of this MOU.

a. Consult with the OSC and work with the ESA to establish a written arrangement for sharing non-public information;

iii. The use and confidential treatment of the information will be governed by Article 10 of the Börsengesetz, except that the information may also be used for a relevant supervisory purpose and shall not be shared by the ESA with other parties without getting the prior written consent of the OSC; and

iv. To the extent possible, the BaFin intends to notify the OSC of any legally enforceable demand to the ESA for non-public information furnished under this MOU and shared with the ESA.

a. The Requesting Authority will notify the Requested Authority; and

b. Prior to the Requesting Authority sharing the non-public information, the Requesting Authority will notify the Requested Authority and provide it with adequate assurances concerning the use and confidential treatment of the information by the Governmental Entity, including, as necessary, assurances that:

i. The Governmental Entity has confirmed that it requires the information for a purpose within the scope of its jurisdiction; and

ii. The information will not be shared by the Governmental Entity with other parties unless:

In these circumstances and to the extent permitted by law:

a. The German Authority will notify the OSC prior to sharing the information and indicate the purpose for which the information will be shared with an EU Entity; and

b. Prior to the German Authority sharing the non-public information, the German Authority will provide adequate assurances to the OSC concerning the EU Entity's use and confidential treatment of the information, including, as necessary, assurances that:

i. The EU Entity has confirmed that it requires the information and will use the information only for a purpose within the scope of its jurisdiction; and

ii. The information will not be shared by the EU Entity with other parties without getting the prior written consent of the OSC.

During an Emergency Situation, consent may be obtained in any form, including orally, provided such communication is confirmed in writing as promptly as possible following such notification. If consent is denied by the Requested Authority, the Requesting and Requested Authorities will consult to discuss the reasons for withholding approval of such disclosure and the circumstances, if any, under which the intended disclosure by the Requesting Authority might be allowed.

46. To the extent possible, the Requesting Authority intends to notify the Requested Authority of any legally enforceable demand for non-public information furnished under this MOU.

The Authorities intend that the sharing or the disclosure of non-public information, including deliberative and consultative materials, such as written analysis, opinions, or recommendations relating to non-public information that is prepared by or on behalf of an Authority, pursuant to the terms of this MOU, will not constitute a waiver of privilege or confidentiality of such information.
