ELECTRONIC SIGNATURE & RECORDS CONSENT

By signing below, the applicant, on behalf of the firm it represents, agrees that:

1. The applicant CONSENTS to conduct this onboarding and its resulting participant relationship
   ELECTRONICALLY, and to receive agreements, disclosures, notices, and records in electronic form.

2. The applicant agrees that a TYPED name entered in the CCPE onboarding portal, together with the
   recorded date and time, constitutes the applicant's ELECTRONIC SIGNATURE and is legally binding
   to the same extent as a handwritten signature.

3. The applicant acknowledges it is able to access and retain the electronic records provided.

This consent is executed electronically within the CCPE onboarding portal by the applicant's
authorized representative.

(This is placeholder text describing the intended scope only. The final, authoritative Electronic
Signature & Records Consent will replace this document. The electronic signature you provide in the
portal is recorded now and will be reconciled against the final document.)
