     WHEREAS,  MSF and each of the  American  Century  Parties  have  heretofore
entered  into that  certain  Agreement  and Plan of  Reorganization  dated as of
December 14, 2005 (as amended by the First  Amendment  thereto dated January 23,
2006, the "REORGANIZATION AGREEMENT"), pursuant to which, INTER ALIA, the assets
of each Acquired Fund shall be acquired by its  corresponding  Acquiring Fund in
exchange for newly issued shares of such  Acquiring  Fund with a net asset value
equal to that of the assets of such Acquiring Fund; and

     WHEREAS,  MSF and each of the American  Century Parties now desire to amend
the  Reorganization  Agreement  in the  respects,  but  only  in  the  respects,
hereinafter set forth.

     NOW, THEREFORE,  in consideration of the mutual agreements  hereinafter set
forth, and for other good and valuable  consideration,  the receipt and adequacy
of which are hereby







acknowledged,  and intending to be legally bound,  MSF, each Acquired Fund, each
American Century Party, and each Acquiring Fund hereby agree as follows:

     1.  AMENDMENTS.

     (a) Section  2(b) of the  Reorganization  Agreement  is hereby  amended and
restated in its entirety as follows:

          B. LIABILITIES TO BE DISCHARGED.  The Acquired Fund will discharge all
     of its liabilities and obligations prior to the Closing Date other than the
     ordinary  course  liabilities  reflected in the  Acquired  Fund's net asset
     value incurred by the Acquired Fund prior to the Closing Date in connection
     with its on-going business operations  (including accrued fees and expenses
     and  payables  for  securities  purchased  or for share  redemptions)  (the
     "ACQUIRED  FUND  ORDINARY  COURSE  LIABILITIES").  Subject to receiving the
     requisite approval of the shareholders of the Acquired Fund, and subject to
     other terms and conditions  contained in this Agreement and on the basis of
     the  representations  and warranties  contained in this  Agreement,  on the
     Closing Date,  the Acquiring Fund shall assume and thereafter in due course
     pay and fully  satisfy,  discharge  or perform the Acquired  Fund  Ordinary
     Course Liabilities which consist of payables for securities purchased.  For
     avoidance of doubt,  the  Acquiring  Fund shall not assume or agree to pay,
     satisfy, discharge or perform any Acquired Fund Ordinary Course Liabilities
     other than those consisting of payables for securities purchased (including
     accrued  fees  and  expenses  and  payables  for  share  redemptions),  any
     contingent  liabilities,  or any liabilities arising under any plan adopted
     by the  Acquired  Fund under  Rule  12b-1  with  respect to the sale of the
     Acquired Fund's shares prior to the Closing Date.

     (b) The Reorganization  Agreement is hereby amended to add the following as
new Section 5(l):

          l. PAYMENT OF UNASSUMED ACQUIRED FUND ORDINARY COURSE LIABILITIES. The
     Acquired  Fund will  discharge  all of its Acquired  Fund  Ordinary  Course
     Liabilities which have not been assumed by the Acquiring Fund under Section
     2 hereof as such  liabilities  become  due,  and will on the  Closing  Date
     establish  cash reserves in the amount of such  unassumed  and  outstanding
     Acquired Fund Ordinary Course Liabilities. For the avoidance of doubt, such
     cash  reserves  established  for such purpose shall not be  transferred  or
     conveyed to the Acquiring Fund under Section 2 hereof.

     (c) Clauses (i) and (iii) of Section 7(e) of the  Reorganization  Agreement
are hereby amended in their entirety to read, respectively, as follows:

               i.  a  certificate  or   certificates,   in  form  and  substance
          reasonably   satisfactory  to  the  Acquired  Fund,  executed  by  the
          President,  a Vice President or the Secretary of the relevant American
          Century Party on behalf of the Acquiring Fund, dated as of the Closing
          Date,  certifying that the conditions  specified in Sections 7(a), (b)
          and (d) have been fulfilled;


                                      -2-



               iii. an opinion of Willkie Farr & Gallagher LLP,  special counsel
          to the Acquiring Fund, in form and substance reasonably  acceptable to
          the  Acquired  Fund,  covering  such  matters  as  may  be  reasonably
          requested by the Acquired Fund and its counsel.

     (d) Sections 7(f)(A) and 8(g)(A) of the Reorganization Agreement are hereby
amended to insert the phrase  "consisting of payables for securities  purchased"
immediately  following the term "Acquired Fund Ordinary  Course  Liabilities" in
each instance where it appears therein.

     (e) Clause (i) of Section  8(e) of the  Reorganization  Agreement is hereby
amended in its entirety to read as follows:

               i.  a  certificate  or   certificates,   in  form  and  substance
          reasonably  satisfactory  to  the  Acquiring  Fund,  executed  by  the
          President,  a Vice  President or the Secretary of MSF on behalf of the
          Acquired  Fund,  dated as of the  Closing  Date,  certifying  that the
          conditions  specified  in Sections  8(a),  (b),  (c) and (d) have been
          fulfilled;

     (f) Section  11(c) of the  Reorganization  Agreement  is hereby  amended to
delete the reference to Shearman & Sterling LLP and to substitute  the following
therefor:

                          Willkie Farr & Gallagher LLP
                          1875 K Street N.W.

                          Attention:  Karrie H. McMillan, Esq.


     2. TERMINATION. Each Acquiring Fund agrees that the Acquired Funds will not
be  terminated  as separate  series of MSF until such time as the Acquired  Fund
Ordinary  Course  Liabilities  which have not been assumed by the Acquiring Fund
under Section 2 of the Reorganization have been discharged.

     3.  REAFFIRMATION  OF  REORGANIZATION  AGREEMENT.  This Amendment  shall be
construed in connection with and as part of the  Reorganization  Agreement,  and
except  as  modified  and  expressly  amended  by  this  Amendment,  all  terms,
conditions and covenants  contained in the  Reorganization  Agreement are hereby
ratified and shall be and remain in full force and effect.

     4. DEFINED TERMS.  Capitalized  terms used herein shall have the respective
meanings ascribed thereto in the Reorganization  Agreement unless herein defined
or the context shall otherwise require.

     5.  GOVERNING  LAW.  This  Amendment  shall be  construed  and  enforced in
accordance with, and the rights of the parties shall be governed by, the laws of
the State of New York


                                      -3-


applicable to agreements made and to be performed in said state,  without giving
effect to the principles of conflict of laws thereof.

     6.  COUNTERPARTS.   This  Amendment  may  be  executed  in  any  number  of
counterparts,  each of which, when executed and delivered, shall be deemed to be
an  original  but  all  such  counterparts  together  shall  constitute  but one
instrument.
