Computation
As soon as practicable after the end of each calendar quarter, the Sub-Advisor shall send to the Advisor a calculation (the “Calculation”) in reasonable detail of the fee for the calendar quarter then ended as of the close of business on the last day of such calendar quarter and the Advisor shall pay the fee to the Sub-Advisor. In the event of a dispute between the parties regarding the accuracy of the Calculation, it is hereby agreed that all discussions in resolution of such dispute will be conducted promptly and in good faith.
The foregoing fee shall be accrued for each calendar day and the sum of the daily fee accruals shall be paid quarterly in arrears by the Advisor to the Sub-Advisor as described herein. The fee accruals will be computed by multiplying the fraction of one over the number of calendar days in the year by the applicable annual rate set forth in the schedule above and multiplying this product by the net assets of the Fund, as determined in accordance with the Prospectus as of the close of
business on the valuation day. If this Agreement is terminated prior to the end of any calendar quarter, the fee shall be prorated for the portion of any quarter in which this Agreement is in effect according to the proportion which the number of calendar days, during which this Agreement is in effect, bears to the number of calendar days in the quarter.
