- 17 - the Exchange Act and National Instrument 52-109 - Certification of Disclosure in Issuers’ Annual and Interim Filings (“NI 52-109”)) that are intended to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by BlackBerry in its annual filings, interim filings or other reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act and Canadian securities laws is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s and Canadian securities authorities’ rules and forms, including controls and procedures designed to ensure that such information is accumulated and communicated to BlackBerry’s management as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. BlackBerry and its subsidiaries have carried out evaluations of the effectiveness of their disclosure controls and procedures as required by Rule 13a-15 of the Exchange Act and as contemplated under NI 52-109. (v) Accounting Controls. BlackBerry and its subsidiaries maintain systems of “internal control over financial reporting” (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Exchange Act and NI 52-109) that comply with the requirements of the Exchange Act and NI 52-109 and have been designed by, or under the supervision of, their respective principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles, including internal accounting controls sufficient to provide reasonable assurance: (i) that transactions are executed in accordance with management’s general or specific authorizations; (ii) that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in conformity with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles and to maintain asset accountability; (iii) that access to assets is permitted only in accordance with management’s general or specific authorization; (iv) that the recorded accountability for assets is compared with the existing assets at reasonable intervals and appropriate action is taken with respect to any differences; and (v) regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of BlackBerry’s assets that could have a material effect on BlackBerry’s annual financial statements or interim financial statements. Since the date of the most recent balance sheet of BlackBerry publicly disclosed by BlackBerry, BlackBerry’s auditors and the Audit Committee of the board of directors of BlackBerry have not been advised of: (A) any significant deficiencies in the design or operation of internal controls over financial reporting which are reasonably likely to adversely affect BlackBerry’s ability to record, process, summarize and report financial information; and (B) any fraud, whether or not material, that involves management or other employees who have a significant role in BlackBerry’s internal control over financial reporting. Except as publicly disclosed by BlackBerry, there are no material weaknesses in BlackBerry’s internal controls. (w) Certain Payments. Neither BlackBerry nor any of its subsidiaries nor, to the best knowledge of BlackBerry, any director, officer, agent, employee or other person associated with or acting on behalf of BlackBerry or any of its subsidiaries has: (i) used any corporate funds for any unlawful contribution, gift, entertainment or other unlawful expense relating to political activity; (ii) made any direct or indirect unlawful payment to any foreign or domestic government official or employee from corporate funds; (iii) violated or is in violation of any provision of the Foreign
