 Advisory Agreement shall automatically and immediately terminate in the event of its “assignment;” and the Adviser may terminate the Advisory Agreement without payment of any penalty on ninety days’ written notice to the Fund. Portfolio Managers Jerry Cudzil, Ruben Hovhannisyan, CFA, and Bryan T. Whalen, CFA, are jointly and primarily responsible for the day-to-daymanagement of the Fund’s assets. Portfolio Manager Compensation The overall objective of the Adviser’s compensation program for portfolio managers is to attract experienced and expert investment professionals and to retain them over the long-term. Compensation is comprised of several components which, in the aggregate, are designed to achieve these objectives and to reward the portfolio managers for their contributions to the successful performance of the accounts they manage. Portfolio managers are compensated through a combination of base salary, fee sharing based compensation (“ fee sharing”), bonus and equity incentive participation in the Adviser’s parent company (“ equity incentives”). Fee sharing and equity incentives generally represent most of the portfolio managers’ compensation. In some cases, portfolio managers are eligible for discretionary bonuses. Salary. Salary is agreed to with portfolio managers at the time of employment and is reviewed from time to time. It does not change significantly and often does not constitute a significant part of a portfolio manager’s compensation. Fee Sharing.

In most cases, revenues are allocated to a pool and fee sharing compensation is allocated among members of the investment team after the deduction of certain expenses (including compensation over a threshold level) related to the strategy group. The allocations are based on the investment professionals’ contributions to TCW and its clients, including qualitative and quantitative contributions. In general, the same fee sharing percentage is used to compensate a portfolio manager for investment services related to the Fund as that used to compensate portfolio managers for other client accounts in the same strategy managed by the Adviser or an affiliate of the Adviser (collectively, the “TCW Advisers”). In some cases, the fee sharing pool includes revenues related to more than one product, in which case each participant in the pool is entitled to fee sharing derived from his or her contributions to all the included products. Investment professionals are not directly compensated for generating performance fees. In some cases, the overall fee sharing pool is subject to fluctuation based on the relative pre-tax performanceof the investment strategy composite returns, net of -40-

fees and expenses, to that of the benchmark. The measurement
