WHEREAS the Sub-Advisor and its subsidiaries and other affiliated persons have personnel in various locations throughout the world and have been formed in part for the purpose of researching and compiling information and recommendations with respect to the economies of various countries, and securities of issuers located in such countries, and providing investment advisory services in connection therewith;

WHEREAS, the Sub-Advisor and its subsidiaries and other affiliated persons (including Fidelity International Investment Advisors (U.K.) Limited and Fidelity Investments Japan Limited) may provide investment advice and research services to Advisor pursuant to a number of individual agreements in respect of each Portfolio; and

WHEREAS, the Sub-Advisor is willing to provide international investment advice and research services to the Advisor on behalf of each of the Portfolios listed on Schedule A, to the extent that such Portfolios may invest in international assets from time to time, and the Advisor desires that the Sub-Advisor provide such international investment advice and research services to the Advisor on behalf of such Portfolios under this Master International Research Agreement;

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual promises hereinafter set forth, the Advisor and the Sub-Advisor agree as follows:

1. Delegation of Duties: The Advisor hereby delegates to the Sub-Advisor, and the Sub-Advisor hereby accepts responsibility for performing such investment advice and research services with respect to all or a portion of the investments of each Portfolio as may be requested by the Advisor. The services and the portion of the investments of each Portfolio to be advised by the Sub-Advisor shall be as agreed upon from time to time by the Advisor and the Sub-Advisor. The Sub-Advisor shall pay the salaries and fees of all personnel of the Sub-Advisor performing investment advice and research services for the Portfolios.

(a) Investment Advice and Research Services: If and to the extent requested by the Advisor, the Sub-Advisor shall provide investment advice and research services, particularly with respect issuers, companies, governments and economic conditions outside of the U.S. and Canada, to the Advisor on behalf of each Portfolio with respect to all or a portion of the investments of such Portfolio. In connection with providing such investment advice and research services, the Sub-Advisor shall furnish to the Advisor on behalf of each Portfolio such factual information, research reports and investment recommendations as the Advisor may reasonably require. Such information may include written and oral reports and analyses.

(b) Subsidiaries and Affiliates: The Sub-Advisor may perform any or all of the services contemplated by this Agreement directly or through such of its subsidiaries or other affiliated persons as the Sub-Advisor shall determine; provided, however, that performance of such services through such subsidiaries or other affiliated persons shall have been approved by the affected Trust or Trusts to the extent required pursuant to the Investment Company Act of 1940 Act ("1940 Act") and rules thereunder.

2. Information to be Provided to the Trusts and the Advisor: The Sub-Advisor shall furnish such reports, evaluations, information or analyses to each Trust and the Advisor as the Trusts' Board of Trustees or the Advisor may reasonably request from time to time, or as the Sub-Advisor may deem to be desirable.

3. Compensation: For investment advisory and research services provided under subparagraph (a) of paragraph 1 of this Agreement on behalf of each of the Portfolios listed on Schedule A and in full consideration of the services provided hereunder, the Advisor agrees to pay the Sub-Advisor and the Sub-Adviser agrees to receive an annual aggregate Sub-Advisory Fee of fifty million dollars ($50,000,000). The aggregate fee shall be allocated amongst each of the Portfolios listed on Schedule A, as it may be amended from time to time, based on their relative international net assets. The Sub-Advisory Fee may be reduced to reflect expense reimbursements, fee waivers or aggregate caps, if any, in effect from time to time upon mutual agreement of the Advisor and the Sub-Advisor. Notwithstanding the foregoing; a Portfolio that is party to a sub-advisory agreement with the Advisor and the Sub-Adviser for the provision of either discretionary or non-discretionary services ("FMR/FIIA Sub-Advisory Agreement") shall not be allocated any portion of the aggregate Sub-Advisory Fee payable hereunder during any period in which such FMR/FIIA Sub-Advisory Agreement is in effect and either discretionary or non-discretionary services are being provided thereunder.

6. Services to Other Companies or Accounts: The services of the Sub-Advisor to the Advisor are not to be deemed to be exclusive, the Sub-Advisor being free to render services to others and engage in other activities, provided, however, that such other services and activities do not, during the term of this Agreement, interfere, in a material manner, with the Sub-Advisor's ability to meet all of its obligations hereunder. The Sub-Advisor shall for all purposes be an independent contractor and not an agent or employee of the Advisor or the Trusts.

7. Standard of Care: In the absence of willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard of obligations or duties hereunder on the part of the Sub-Advisor, the Sub-Advisor shall not be subject to liability to the Advisor, the Trusts or to any shareholder of the Portfolios for any act or omission in the course of, or connected with, rendering services hereunder or for any losses that may be sustained in the purchase, holding or sale of any security.
