Common use of Asset-Based Fee Clause in Contracts

Asset-Based Fee. In addition to the Fixed Fee, each Fund whose “Fee Type” includes an “asset based fee” on Attachment 1 hereto (as is may be amended), shall pay a fee at an annual rate, stated as a percentage of the average daily net assets of the Fund on all net assets in excess of $50 million up to $4.0 billion, equal to a rate which when applied to the Fund’s net assets in excess of such minimum, as of the end of the calendar month prior to such determination, and when added to the Fixed Fees, is reasonably calibrated to pay the Administrator the Annual Fee for the applicable Contract Period. As necessary, the rate shall be adjusted from time to time based on the then current asset levels, in the discretion of the Administrator, if changes in asset levels warrant such adjustment, and shall also be adjusted from time to reflect any changes to the Annual Fee based on comparisons of estimated versus actual Total Allocable Costs during a Contract Period as described above. The Administrator shall report any changes to the asset based fee to the Board for ratification at the next Board meeting following such change and shall report semi-annually to the Board the actual amount of payments received by the Administrator (report to the September Board meeting for payments for the six-month period ending June 30 and to the February meeting for payments for the six and twelve month periods ending December 31). If during a Contract Period Funds either join the Agreement pursuant to Section 9(d) or terminate pursuant to Section 8, the asset-based fee shall be adjusted, if necessary, so that the total of payments expected to be paid by the then remaining Funds under the Agreement will continue to be reasonably calibrated to pay the Administrator the Annual Fee, as it may be adjusted, for the applicable Contract Period.
