(h) That this Agreement shall be binding upon Principal and Principals successors and assigns.
III. Management Fee.
The client agrees to pay Investment Advisor an annualized fee based on the percentage of the principal amount of the Principals assets under management by Investment Advisor, computed and accrued on the average daily market value maintained in the account by the Principal. The percentage is determined by the following scale:
Assets Under Management | Percentage | Related Fees | ||||||
First $200,000,000 | .09 | % | $ | 180,000 | ||||
Next $300,000,000 | .07 | % | $ | 210,000 | ||||
Next $500,000,000 | .05 | % | $ | 250,000 | ||||
Next $500,000,000 | .03 | % | $ | 150,000 | ||||
All Additional Assets | .02 | % | Based on Total Amount of Additional Assets |
Investment Advisor shall send to the Principal on a monthly basis an invoice which shows the amount of the management fee, the average daily market value on which such fee was based and the specific manner in which the fee was calculated. The Principal reserves the right to use the average daily market value provided by the custodian of the Property (the Custodian) to confirm the accuracy of the Investment Advisor fees and, upon mutual agreement of the parties, a fee calculation based on such information provided by the Custodian may be used as the final determinant of payment amount. The invoice is payable within 10 business days of receipt and the Principal will notify the Investment Advisor within five business days after receipt of the statement of any objections or exceptions.
IV. Limitation of Liability.
Investment Advisor shall have no liability or responsibility:
(a) To take any action hereunder, other than as specified in Paragraph I(a) hereof.
