.1 Twenty (20%) percent of the total compensation for Basic and Supplemental Services earned to the date of termination, if termination occurs before or during the schematic design phase; or .2 Ten (10%) percent of the total compensation for Basic and Supplemental Services earned to the date of termination, if termination occurs during the design development phase; or .3 Five (5%) percent of the total compensation for Basic and Supplemental Services earned to the date of termination, if termination occurs during any subsequent phase.

(2) 50% of these expenses will be allocated initially among the Funds based upon each Fund’s sales for the 24 months ended with the last day of the preceding quarter relative to the sales of the Funds as a group for the same period. (Shares issued pursuant to a reorganization shall be excluded from the sales of a Fund and the Funds as a group.)
(3) Provided, however, that no Fund’s aggregate quarterly contribution for distribution expenses, expressed as a percentage of its assets, shall exceed 125% of the average expenses for the Funds as a Group, expressed as a percentage of the total assets of the Funds. Expenses not charged to a particular Fund(s) because of this 125% limitation shall be reallocated to other Funds on iterative basis; and that no Fund’s annual expenses for distribution shall exceed 0.2% of its average month-end net assets.
Transportation Expenses The reasonable and necessary expenses of transportation required in the performance of Superintendent’s official duties shall be reimbursed at the rate set annually by the Board for District travel.

These payments shall be made promptly upon termination and within the period of time mandated by law.
