FEE SCHEDULE
The RIC on behalf of each Fund will pay the Administrator in United States Dollars following the last day of each month the unpaid balance of a fee equal to the sum of all the daily administrative service fee accruals from the previous month. The daily administrative service fee accrual is calculated on a daily basis by multiplying a Fund’s prior day’s net assets by 0.12% (12 basis points) and dividing that product by the number of days in that year. The Administrator will be entitled to receive during any month such interim payments of its fee under this Agreement as it will request, provided that no such payment will exceed 75 percent of the amount of its fee then accrued on the books of a Fund and unpaid.
The “average daily net assets” of each Fund will mean the average of the values placed on the Fund’s net assets as of 4:00 p.m. (New York time) on each day on which the net asset value, of the Fund is determined consistent with the provisions of Rule 22c-1 under the Investment Company Act or, if the Fund lawfully determines the value of its net assets as of some other time on each business day, as of such time. The value of the net assets of each Fund will always be determined pursuant to the applicable provisions of the RIC’s Organizational Document, as amended from time-to-time and the Registration Statement. If the determination of net asset value for a Fund does not take place for any particular day, then for the purposes of this Agreement, the value of the net assets of the Fund as last determined will be deemed to be the value of its net assets as of 4:00 p.m. (New York time), or as of such other time as the value of the net assets of the Fund’s portfolio may be lawfully determined on that day. If a Fund determines the value of the net assets of its portfolio more than once on any day, than the last such determination thereof on that day will be deemed to be the sole determination thereof on that day for the purposes of this Agreement.
The Administrator agrees to waive the portion of the fee due under this Agreement in connection with each Fund and share class specified in the following chart. The amount of such waiver is the number of basis points specified in the column labeled “Fee Waiver (in bps)” and the waiver shall remain in effect until the date specified in the column labeled “Fee Waiver Termination Date”.
