Each Fund may from time to time agree to make payments to third parties (who may be affiliates of the Manager) in respect of Shareholder Services provided by them, at such rates or in such amounts as the Fund and such third parties may from time to time agree. The payment by a Fund of any such amounts to third parties will not, except to the extent the Fund and the Manager otherwise expressly agree in writing, relieve the Fund of any payment obligation under this Agreement or reduce any amount payable by the Fund to the Manager under this Agreement, or otherwise affect any obligation of the parties under this Agreement.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Amendment to be executed as of the day and year first above written.
