Compensation of the Local Manager For the services rendered, the facilities furnished and expenses assumed by the Local Manager, MSIM shall pay to the Local Manager a fee in an amount to be determined from time to time by MSIM and the Local Manager but in no event in excess of the amount that MSIM actually received for providing services to the Fund pursuant to the Advisory Agreement.

To the extent that any Fund's Aggregate Subadviser Fee exceeds that Fund's Aggregate Management Fee, the Manager shall pay such amount to the applicable subadvisers on the Fund's behalf.

COMPENSATION OF THE MANAGER BY FUND For all services to be rendered and payments made as provided in Sections 1, 2 and 4 hereof, the Fund will accrue daily and pay the Manager monthly, or at such other intervals as the Fund and Manager may agree, a fee based on the average of the values placed on the net assets of each Series of the Fund as of the time of determination of the net asset value on each trading day throughout the month in accordance with Schedule 1 attached hereto. Net asset value shall be determined pursuant to applicable provisions of the Articles of Incorporation of the Fund. If pursuant to such provisions the determination of net asset value is suspended, then for the purposes of this Section 5 the value of the net assets of the Fund as last determined shall be deemed to be the value of the net assets for each day the suspension continues. The Manager may, at its option, waive all or part of its compensation for such period of time as it deems necessary or appropriate.
