ADVISORY FEE SCHEDULES The Adviser shall serve as investment adviser for each Fund of the Trust listed below. The Trust will pay the Adviser, as full compensation for all services provided under this Agreement with respect to each Fund, the fee computed separately for such Fund at an annual rate as follows (the "Adviser Fee"). The term Aggregate Net Assets in the chart below includes the net assets of a Fund of the Trust. It also includes with respect to certain Funds as indicated in the chart the net assets of one or more other portfolios, but in each case only for the period during which the subadviser for the Fund also serves as the subadviser for the other portfolio(s) and only with respect to the net assets of such other portfolio(s) that are managed by the subadviser. For purposes of determining Aggregate Net Assets and calculating the Adviser Fee, the net assets of the Fund and each other fund of the Trust are determined as of the close of business on the previous business day of the Trust, and the net assets of each portfolio of each other fund are determined as of the close of business on the previous business day of that fund. The Adviser Fee for a Fund shall be based on the applicable annual fee rate for the Fund which for each day shall be equal to (i) the sum of the amounts determined by applying the annual percentage rates in the table to the applicable portions of Aggregate Net Assets divided by (ii) Aggregate Net Assets (the “Applicable Annual Fee Rate”). The Adviser Fee for each Fund shall be accrued and paid daily to the Adviser for each calendar day. The daily fee accruals will be computed by multiplying the fraction of one over the number of calendar days in the year by the Applicable Annual Fee Rate, and multiplying this product by the net assets of the Fund. Fees shall be paid either by wire transfer or check, as directed by the Adviser. If, with respect to any Fund, this Agreement becomes effective or terminates, or if the manner of determining the Applicable Annual Fee Rate changes, before the end of any month, the fee (if any) for the period from the effective date to the end of such month or from the beginning of such month to the date of termination or from the beginning of such month to the date of such change, as the case may be, shall be prorated according to the proportion which such period bears to the full month in which such effectiveness or termination or change occurs.
Investment Letter Without limiting the generality of Section 4.1, unless the offer and sale of any shares of Warrant Stock shall have been effectively registered under the Securities Act, the Company shall be under no obligation to issue the Warrant Stock unless and until the Holder shall have executed an investment letter in form and substance satisfactory to the Company, including a warranty at the time of such exercise that the Holder is acquiring such shares for its own account, for investment and not with a view to, or for sale in connection with, the distribution of any such shares.
