     Re:  Fee Letter for Morgan Stanley Emerging Markets Domestic Debt Fund,
          Inc. up to $200,000,000 Credit Facility
          ------------------------------------------------------------------

Ladies and Gentlemen:

          Reference is made to the Engagement Letter (the "Engagement Letter"),
dated the date hereof, among the undersigned registered investment company,
Morgan Stanley Emerging Markets Domestic Debt Fund, Inc. (the "Fund" or
"Borrower"), which is executing this letter agreement on behalf of itself as
Borrower, J. P. Morgan Securities Inc. ("JPMorgan") and JPMorgan Chase Bank,
N.A. ("JPMorgan Chase"). Capitalized terms used herein have the meanings
assigned to them in the Engagement Letter (including the Schedules and Exhibits
thereto).

          As consideration for the agreement of JPMorgan under the Engagement
Letter to arrange the Credit Facility, the Borrower agrees to pay to JPMorgan an
arrangement fee, equal to $_____ on the date on which definitive documentation
for the Credit Facility is executed and delivered by each of the parties thereto
(the "Closing Date").

          As consideration for JPMorgan Chase's services as Administrative Agent
under the Credit Facility, the Borrower also agrees to pay to JPMorgan Chase, on
the Closing Date and on each anniversary thereof should the Credit Facility be
extended (as to which extension no agreement has been made or discussed), an
administrative agency fee of $_____.



          The legal fees to be charged by JPMorgan Chase's counsel in connection
with documenting the Engagement Letter, the term sheet attached thereto, this
fee letter, the Credit Agreement (or renewal document) entered into in
connection therewith, and the closing of the transaction contemplated thereby
shall be charged at such counsel's regular hourly rates, provided that such fees
shall not exceed $70,000 plus disbursements, absent unforeseen circumstances.

          All fees payable hereunder and under the Engagement Letter shall be
paid in immediately available funds on the Closing Date, and with respect to the
administrative agency fee for any extension term, at the commencement of such
term, and, once paid, shall be deemed to be fully earned, and shall not be
refundable or rebatable.

          It is understood and agreed that this letter agreement shall not
constitute or give rise to any obligation to provide financing; such obligation
shall arise only to the extent provided in the Engagement Letter if accepted in
accordance with its terms.

          This letter agreement shall be governed by, and construed in
accordance with, the substantive laws of the State of New York, without regard
to its choice of law rules.

          This letter agreement supersedes and replaces any previous fee letter
delivered to you by JPMorgan Chase and JPMorgan.

          You agree that this letter agreement and its contents are subject to
the confidentiality provisions of the Engagement Letter.

          Please confirm that the foregoing is our mutual understanding by
signing and returning to JPMorgan Chase one executed original of this letter
agreement.

                                        Very truly yours,


                                        JPMORGAN CHASE BANK, N.A.
