SCHEDULE II
TO THE OPERATING AGREEMENT
1. Establishment Fee. The Establishment Fee for the Account(s) shall be $10,000 for the initial trading symbol (“Symbol”) on Xxxxxx’x system to establish an Account for a Fund. The Establishment Fee for each additional Symbol for such Fund and for initial or subsequent Symbols for the Account(s) of any other Fund shall be, (i) $1,000 if the Fund is made available to MFMP investors for purchase and redemption with no transaction fee (“NTF”) (including but not limited to transactions in Funds in Xxxxxx’x Mutual Fund OneSource® service), or (ii) $2,000 if the Fund is made available to MFMP investors for purchase and redemption with a transaction fee (“TF”). Schwab shall not be entitled to the Establishment Fee for any Symbol that is established solely for Xxxxxx’x operational purposes, including for the purpose of billing a new or different fee rate for the Fund under a Services Agreement, as more fully defined therein. The Establishment Fee for each Fund is due and payable by Fund Company upon receipt of the invoice setting forth the fee.
2. |
Asset Based Maintenance Fees.
|
a. The Asset Based Maintenance Fee (“ABMF”) for administrative services performed with respect to the Account(s) for a Fund shall be calculated each month (i) by multiplying the average Daily Value (defined below) of shares of each Fund by the per annum ABMF fee rate as set forth on Schedule I, (ii) dividing the product by the number of days in the applicable calendar year; then (iii) multiplying the quotient by the number of days in the applicable calendar month. The ABMF shall not apply to a Fund share for a specific day if, on that same day, that Fund share was used in the calculation of a service fee under a Services Agreement with the Fund. The ABMF shall be billed monthly in arrears and paid in accordance with Section 2.d. below. “Daily Value” shall mean the Net Asset Value (“NAV”) reported by such Fund to Schwab through the NSCC’s Mutual Fund Profile Service (the “Profile Service”) or, if the NAV is not available through the Profile Service, through the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. Automated Quotation System or other mutually agreeable means.
b. For purposes of calculating the ABMF pursuant to this Exhibit, no adjustments will be made to the NAV for any Fund to correct errors in the NAV reported for any day unless such error is corrected and the corrected NAV is reported to Schwab before 8:00 p.m. Eastern time on the first Business Day after the day to which the error relates.
c. At the request of Fund Company, on each Business Day Schwab shall provide a statement detailing the Daily Value of shares of each Fund and the estimated amount of the ABMF for the previous Business Day. As soon as practicable after the end of the month, Schwab shall also provide to Fund Company an invoice for the amount of the ABMF due for each Fund. In the calculation of the ABMF, Xxxxxx’x records shall govern unless an error can be shown in the rate used in such calculation.
d. The ABMF is due and payable by Fund Company upon receipt of the invoice setting forth the fee. Payment shall be made by wire transfer. Such wire transfer shall be separate from wire transfers of redemption proceeds or distributions under the Operating Agreement.
