SCHEDULE A

(As of May 1, 2021)

As compensation for services provided by Subadvisor, the Manager will pay the Subadvisor and Subadvisor agrees to accept as full compensation for all services rendered hereunder, at an annual subadvisory fee equal to the following:

  

FUND/PORTFOLIO

ANNUAL RATE

MainStay Funds Trust

MainStay Candriam Emerging Markets Equity Fund

0.50% on assets up to $1 billion; and
0.4875% on assets over $1 billion

MainStay VP Funds Trust

 

MainStay VP Candriam Emerging Markets Equity Portfolio

0.50% on assets up to $1 billion; and
0.4875% on assets over $1 billion

The portion of the fee based upon the average daily net assets of the respective Series shall be accrued daily at the rate of 1/(number of days in calendar year) of the annual rate applied to the daily net assets of the Series.

For certain Series, the Manager may agree to waive a portion of each Series’ management fee or reimburse the expenses of the appropriate class of the Series so that the class’ total ordinary operating expenses do not exceed certain amounts. These waivers or reimbursements may be changed with Board approval. To the extent the Manager agrees to waive its management fee or reimburse expenses, Candriam Belgium, as Subadvisor for these Series, has voluntarily agreed to waive or reimburse its fee proportionately.

Payment will be made to the Subadvisor on a monthly basis.
