chosen by the Fund. In the event the Fund elects to assume the defense of any
such suit and retain such counsel, MSIM or any of its affiliated persons or any
third parties providing services for the benefit of the Fund through
arrangements with MSIM, named as defendant or defendants in the suit, may retain
