          The Subadviser Percentage Fee for each Portfolio shall be accrued for each calendar day and the sum of the daily fee accruals shall be paid monthly to the Subadviser.

          If this Agreement becomes effective or terminates before the end of any month, the fee (if any) for the period from the effective date to the end of such month or from the beginning of such month to the date of termination, as the case may be, shall be prorated according to the proportion which such period bears to the full month in which such effectiveness or termination occurs.
