The fee on Fund Assets for the Fund shall be based on the applicable annual Fund Assets fee rate for the Fund which for each day shall be equal to (i) the sum of the amounts determined by applying the annual percentage rates in the Fee Table for Funds Assets to the applicable portion of Net Assets of Fund divided by (ii) Net Assets of Fund (the “Applicable Annual Affiliated Funds Fee Rate”).

 

The fee on Other Assets for the Fund shall be based on the applicable annual Other Assets fee rate for the Fund which for each day shall be equal to (i) the sum of the amounts determined by applying the annual percentage rates in the Fee Table for Other Assets to the applicable portions of Net Assets of the Fund divided by (ii) Net Assets of the Fund (the “Applicable Annual Other Assets Fee Rate”).
