****Effective January 1, 2005 NMIS reserves the right to assess a late payment fee, with a minimum of $10.00, for any trade paid for past Reg-T date. The charge will be calculated at the current margin interest rate beginning on settlement date. Late payment fees will be subject to a $10.00 minimum such that any fee calculated to equal $1.00-10.00 may be charged a flat $10.00. Amounts less than $1.00 may be waived. The interest period for late payments is the 16th of the month through the 15th of the next month. Charges are posted to the client's cash account on the same day margin interest is posted (second last business day of the month). IRA accounts, DVP accounts, and accounts with a margin balance are not subject to the late payment fee. Other accounts that accrue small interest amounts and/or that have no prior history of late payment, etc., may be waived by NMIS at NMIS's discretion.
