 terms, exit strategies and related matters, including the exercise of remedies of their respective investments). If the interests held by a Fund are different from (or take priority over) those held by such other funds, the Adviser may be required to make a selection at the time of conflicts between the interests held by such other funds and the interests held by a Fund.

Investments in Morgan Stanley Funds and Other Funds.To the extent permitted by applicable law, a Fund may invest in a fund affiliated with the Adviser or its affiliates or a fund advised by the Adviser or its affiliates. In connection with any such investments, an investing Fund, to the extent permitted by the 1940 Act, will pay all advisory, administrative and/or Rule 12b-1 fees applicable to the investment. To the extent consistent with applicable law, certain Funds that invest in other funds managed by the Adviser or its affiliates may pay advisory fees to the Adviser or its affiliates that are not reduced by any fees payable by such other funds to the Adviser or its affiliates as manager of such other funds (i.e., there may be fees and expenses involved in making any such investment, which would not arise in connection with the direct allocation of assets by investors in the Funds to such other funds).

Such redemptions could negatively impact a Fund’s liquidity, expenses and market price of its shares, as applicable.
