Reimbursed Assessment

Contingency Account | 1.75% x one month

A Contingency Account is established for each participant and is funded from loan proceeds.  Funds are held in an interest-bearing account in the participant’s name.  Interest earned is credited to the participant monthly.  Rebates are made to coincide with any principal payments made.  For example:  $1 million balance would require a contingency balance of $1,458 and would be fully refunded upon loan repayment. The Contingency Account essentially serves as a mini reserve in case of a dramatic spike in commercial paper rates.
