7004B. Late Fees

(a) All charges imposed by the NASD/Nasdaq Trade Reporting Facility that are past due 45 days or more will be subject to a late fee computed by taking the summation of one and one-half percent (1 ½%) of the amount past due for the first month plus one and one-half percent (1 ½%) of the amount past due for any month thereafter, compounded by late fees assessed for previous months.

(b) To illustrate how late fees are assessed, if an account is past due $1,000 for 45 days, the late fee would be $30.22. This charge reflects a charge of $15 for the first month past due ($1,000 x 1 ½%) and $15.22 for the second month past due ($1,015 x 1 ½%).
