Pursuant to the New Sub-Administration Agreement, the Fund will pay the New Sub-Administrator a monthly service fee. The New Sub-Administration Agreement will have an initial term of one-year and will automatically renew for successive one-year periods thereafter. The New Sub-Administration Agreement may be terminated by the Fund upon at least sixty days’ notice to the New Sub-Administrator or by the New Sub-Administrator upon at least 180 days’ notice to the Fund.
