Appendix B

Effective as of 2/1/22

 

  (1)  

Fees for the Services

 

Recurring Fees

 

Per Year

Fee for the services of the Foreside PFO/Treasurer

 

$95,000 effective 2/1/22 and 

$110,000 effective 2/1/23

for the Fund Company, plus

$3,000 per Fund

Notes: It is acknowledged that the recurring fee does not provide for unlimited access to the services of the PFO/Treasurer and, in the case of regulatory examinations of the Fund Company that will require an extraordinary level of involvement by the PFO/Treasurer, the parties agree to negotiate in good faith regarding fair compensation to Foreside for such additional services. For such purposes, the parties agree that $200/hour represents a fair assessment of the value of the PFO/Treasurer’s services.

 

  (2)  

Out-Of-Pocket and Related Expenses: The Fund Company shall also reimburse Foreside for reasonable out-of-pocket and ancillary expenses incurred in the provision of services pursuant to this Agreement, including but not limited to the following:

(i)    reasonable travel expenses incurred in connection with the provision of the services pursuant to this Agreement;

(ii)    reasonable travel expenses incurred in connection with travel requested by the Board; and

(iii)    any other expenses incurred in connection with the provision of the services pursuant to this Agreement.
