ORDER

(Section 15.1 of National Instrument 21-101

Marketplace Operation (NI 21-101) and

section 6.1 of OSC Rule 13-502 Fees)

UPON the application (the "Application") of TSX Inc. (the "Applicant") to the Director for an order pursuant to section 15.1 of NI 21-101 exempting the Applicant from the requirement in subsection 3.2(1)(b) to file an amendment to the information previously provided in Form 21-101F1 (the "Form") regarding Exhibit N (fees) 45 days before implementation of the fee changes (the "45 day filing requirement");

AND UPON the Applicant having filed an updated Form on June 20, 2012, describing a fee change to be effective as of July 1, 2012 (the "Fee Change");

AND UPON the application by the Applicant (the "Fee Exemption Application") to the Director for an order pursuant to section 6.1 of Rule 13-502 exempting the Applicant from the requirement to pay an activity fee of (a) $5,000 in connection with the Application in accordance with section 4.1 and item E(1) of Appendix C of Rule 13-502, and (b) $1,500 in connection with the Fee Exemption Application (Appendix C, item E(2)(a));

AND UPON considering the Application and the Fee Exemption Application and the recommendation of staff of the Commission;

AND UPON the Applicant having represented to the Director as follows.

1. The Applicant operates the Toronto Stock Exchange and is a recognized exchange in Ontario with its head office in Toronto;

2. The Applicant would like to implement the Fee Change on July 1, 2012;

3. The pending amendments to NI 21-101, which will be effective as of July 1, 2012, will among other things, reduce the timeframe with respect to the filing of a change in fees from the current 45 day requirement to seven business days; given that such amendments will be in effect shortly, the Applicant would like to avail itself of such amendments with respect to the Fee Change;

4. The Fee Change is not complex, nor should it raise any regulatory concerns, and therefore can be reviewed within the seven business day timeframe; and

5. In light of the pending amendments to NI 21-101, the payment of the fee associated with this application would be unduly onerous.

AND UPON the Director being satisfied to do so would not be prejudicial to the public interest;

IT IS ORDERED by the Director:

(a) pursuant to section 15.1 of NI 21-101 that the Applicant is exempted from the 45 day filing period for the Fee Change, and

(b) pursuant to section 6.1 of Rule 13-502 that the Applicant is exempted from:

(i) paying an activity fee of $5,000 in connection with the Application, and

(ii) paying an activity fee of $1,500 in connection with the Fee Exemption Application.

DATED this 29th day of June, 2012
