EXHIBIT A

 

Fees

 


	
1.
	
Monthly Fee.  Client shall pay a monthly fee as calculated in accordance with the following formula:




 

Monthly Fee = The sum of A x B x C

 

Where:

 

A = The Average Daily LIBOR Tranche Dollars Outstanding

B = (Daily Three Month LIBOR plus Wells Fargo LIBOR Margin)/360

C = The number of days in the calendar month

 

 


	
2.
	
Definitions.  The following terms when used in this Exhibit A shall have the following meanings: 




 

"Average Daily LIBOR Tranche Dollars Outstanding" during the calendar month means an amount equal to the average amount of Cash, at the end of each day during such calendar month, that has previously been provided by Wells Fargo to Client by way of delivery of the same to an Armored Carrier for the benefit of Client, but has not yet been reimbursed by way of credit to a Settlement Account in immediately available funds. 

 


	
 
	
(a)
	
"Daily Three Month LIBOR" means, for each day, LIBOR then in effect for delivery for a three month period on such day or if such day is not a Business Day on the immediately preceding Business Day. 





	
 
	
(b)
	
"LIBOR" means the rate per annum determined pursuant to the following formula:




 


	
LIBOR =
	
Base LIBOR

	
 
	
100% - LIBOR Reserve Percentage




 


	
 
	
(1)
	
"Base LIBOR" means the rate per annum for United States dollar deposits quoted by Wells Fargo for the purpose of calculating the effective rate for loans that reference Daily Three Month LIBOR as the Inter-Bank Market Offered Rate in effect from time to time for three month delivery of funds in amounts approximately equal to the Average Daily LIBOR Tranche Dollars Outstanding. Client understands and agrees that Wells Fargo may base its quotation of the Inter-Bank Market Offered Rate upon such offers or other market indicators of the Inter-Bank Market as Wells Fargo in its discretion deems appropriate, including but not limited to the rate offered for U.S. dollar deposits on the London Inter-Bank Market.




 

 



 


	
 
	
(2) 
	
"LIBOR Reserve Percentage" means the reserve percentage prescribed by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (or any successor) for "Eurocurrency Liabilities" (as defined in Regulation D of the Federal Reserve Board, as amended), adjusted by Wells Fargo for expected changes in such reserve percentage during the applicable term of the Agreement.




 


	
 
	
(c)
	
"Wells Fargo LIBOR Margin" means 45 basis points.




 


	
3.
	
Minimum usage fee. Client shall pay to Bank a fee equal to twenty hundredths percent (0.20%) per annum (computed as detailed below), which fee shall be calculated on an annual basis (from July 1 through June 30) by Bank and shall be due and payable by Client in arrears within (10) days after the June billing statement is provided to Client (the “Minimum Usage Fee”). In accordance with section VII(D) of the Agreement, Bank will debit Client’s Account for the Minimum Usage Fee.




(A)  $300,000,000.00

(B) (A) x 65% = $195,000,000.00

 

(C)  July 1 – June 30th average outstanding daily balance of Cash:

$_________________________

 

(D) (B)-(C)  $___________________________ (if D is $0 or less, stop here, no fee due)

(if D is a positive number the fee owed is shown in E below)

 

(E) (D) x 0.20% = fee due $________________________

 

 


	
4.
	
Ancillary Services and Charges.  Client shall also pay the customary charges and fees of Wells Fargo for the ancillary services set forth on Exhibit B to the Fee Letter effective January 1, 2018.
