BYLAW 1304. AUDIT FEES FOR LTMS.

[Adopted effective January 1, 1990. Effective date of amendments: August 1, 2016.]

Each LTM Member shall pay an audit fee to NFA each year within 30 days of the date the invoice is mailed by NFA. The Board shall determine the audit fee each year based on the anticipated cost of such audits. If the fee paid is less than the actual cost of auditing the LTM during the calendar year for which it was paid, NFA will invoice the LTM for the difference, and the LTM Member shall pay the invoiced amount within 30 days. If the fee paid is greater than the actual costs of auditing the LTM, the excess will be applied to the fee of the following year. In addition to such audit fee, each LTM shall pay to NFA an amount equal to one month's interest at an annual rate of 10 percent (or such other rate of interest as the President, with the concurrence of the Executive Committee, may determine from time to time) on the amount of any such audit fee payable by that LTM for every month or fraction thereof such audit payment is late.
