Separate Account Transactions Investment decisions for the Separate Account shall be made by the Sub-Advisor independently from those for any other investment companies and accounts advised or managed by the Sub-Advisor. The Separate Account and such investment companies and accounts may, however, invest in the same securities. When the Sub-Advisor seeks to purchase or sell the same security at substantially the same time on behalf of the Separate Account and/or another investment company or account, the Sub-Advisor shall, to the extent permitted by law and to the extent reasonably practicable, aggregate such orders or otherwise effect such transaction on an average price basis, and available investments will be allocated as to amount in a manner which the Sub-Advisor believes to be equitable to the Fund and such other investment company or account. In some instances, this investment procedure may adversely affect the price paid or received by the Fund or the size of the position obtained or sold by the Fund. To the extent permitted by law, the Sub-Advisor may aggregate the securities to be sold or purchased for the Separate Account with those to be sold or purchased for other investment companies or accounts in order to obtain best execution on an overall basis for all the Sub-Advisor’s clients. The Sub-Advisor shall place orders for the purchase and sale of portfolio securities for the Separate Account and will solicit broker-dealers to execute transactions in accordance with the Fund’s policies and restrictions regarding brokerage allocations. If applicable, the Sub-Advisor shall place orders pursuant to its investment determinations for the Separate Account either directly with the issuer or with any broker or dealer. If it executes portfolio transactions and selects brokers or dealers, the Sub-Advisor shall use its reasonable best efforts to seek the most favorable execution of orders, after taking into account all factors the Sub-Advisor deems relevant, including the breadth of the market in the security, the price of the security, the financial condition and execution capability of the broker or dealer, and the reasonableness of the commission, if any, both for the specific transaction and on a continuing basis. Consistent with this obligation, the Sub-Advisor may, to the extent permitted by law, purchase and sell portfolio securities to and from brokers and dealers who provide brokerage and/or research services (within the meaning of Section 28(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) to or for the benefit of the Separate Account and/or other accounts over which the Sub-Advisor or any of its affiliates exercises investment discretion. The Sub-Advisor is authorized to pay to a broker or dealer who provides such brokerage and/or research services a commission for executing a portfolio transaction for the Separate Account which is in excess of the amount of commission another broker or dealer would have charged for effecting that transaction if the Sub-Advisor determines in good faith that such commission was reasonable in relation to the value of the brokerage and/or research services provided by such broker or dealer, viewed in terms of either that particular transaction or the Sub-Advisor’s overall responsibilities to the Fund. In no instance will portfolio securities be purchased from or sold to the Advisor or the Sub-Advisor or any affiliated person of either thereof; except as permitted by Rules and Regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Deferred Compensation Account All Participant Deferral Credits and Employer Credits shall be credited to the Deferred Compensation Account of the Participant as provided in Section 8.
Payment of Deferred Compensation Any compensation that has been earned by the Executive but is unpaid as of the Termination Date, including any compensation that has been earned but deferred pursuant to the Company's Deferred Compensation Plan or otherwise, shall be paid in full to the Executive on the Termination Date.
Reduction of Servicing Compensation in Connection with Prepayment Interest Shortfalls In the event that any Mortgage Loan is the subject of a Prepayment Interest Shortfall resulting from a Principal Prepayment in full, the Servicer shall, from amounts in respect of the Servicing Fee for such Distribution Date, deposit into the Collection Account, as a reduction of the Servicing Fee for such Distribution Date, no later than the Servicer Advance Date immediately preceding such Distribution Date, an amount up to the Prepayment Interest Shortfall; provided that the amount so deposited with respect to any Distribution Date shall be limited to one half of the product of (x) one-twelfth of 0.50% and (y) the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans. In case of such deposit, the Servicer shall not be entitled to any recovery or reimbursement from the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator, the Trustee, the Trust Fund or the Certificateholders. With respect to any Distribution Date, to the extent that the Prepayment Interest Shortfall exceeds Compensating Interest (such excess, a "Non-Supported Interest Shortfall"), such Non-Supported Interest Shortfall shall reduce the Current Interest with respect to each Class of Certificates, pro rata, based upon the amount of interest each such Class would otherwise be entitled to receive on such Distribution Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, there shall be no reduction of the Servicing Fee in connection with Prepayment Interest Shortfalls relating to the Relief Act and the Servicer shall not be obligated to pay Compensating Interest with respect to Prepayment Interest Shortfalls related to the Relief Act.
Portfolio Transactions The Manager is authorized to select the brokers or dealers that will execute the purchases and sales of portfolio securities for the Portfolio and is directed to use its best efforts to obtain the best available prices and most favorable executions, except as prescribed herein. It is understood that the Manager will not be deemed to have acted unlawfully, or to have breached a fiduciary duty to the Fund or to the Portfolio, or be in breach of any obligation owing to the Fund or to the Portfolio under this Agreement, or otherwise, solely by reason of its having caused the Portfolio to pay a member of a securities exchange, a broker, or a dealer a commission for effecting a securities transaction for the Portfolio in excess of the amount of commission another member of an exchange, broker, or dealer would have charged if the Manager determines in good faith that the commission paid was reasonable in relation to the brokerage or research services provided by such member, broker, or dealer, viewed in terms of that particular transaction or the Manager’s overall responsibilities with respect to its accounts, including the Fund, as to which it exercises investment discretion. The Manager will promptly communicate to the officers and directors of the Fund such information relating to transactions for the Portfolio as they may reasonably request.
Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Plans Effective on or before the Distribution Date, Columbia shall adopt, establish and maintain nonqualified deferred compensation plans for the benefit of employees of the Columbia Parties (the “Columbia Deferred Compensation Plans”) and shall establish one or more grantor trusts to be a source of providing benefits thereunder (the “Columbia Rabbi Trusts”) that in each case shall be substantially similar to the NiSource Deferred Compensation Plans and the grantor trusts maintained by NiSource with respect to the NiSource Deferred Compensation Plans (the “NiSource Rabbi Trusts”). As of the Distribution Date, the Columbia Parties shall assume and thereafter be solely responsible for all existing and future liabilities relating to Business Employees’ (and Deceased Business Employee survivors’ and beneficiaries’) (a) benefits accrued under the NiSource Deferred Compensation Plans prior to the Distribution Date and (b) benefits that accrue under the Columbia Deferred Compensation Plans on and after the Distribution Date. All beneficiary designations made by Business Employees and by survivors and beneficiaries of Deceased Business Employees under the NiSource Deferred Compensation Plans shall, to the extent applicable, be transferred to, and be in full force and effect under, the Columbia Deferred Compensation Plans until such beneficiary designations are replaced or revoked by the Business Employee (or the survivor or beneficiary of the Deceased Business Employee) who made the beneficiary designation. Following the Distribution Date, the NiSource Parties shall have no liability or obligation with respect to the benefits accrued by such Business Employees or by such survivors or beneficiaries of Deceased Business Employees under any of the NiSource Deferred Compensation Plans or with respect to any benefits accrued under the Columbia Deferred Compensation Plans. As soon as administratively practicable after the Distribution Date, NiSource shall cause the NiSource Rabbi Trusts to transfer to the Columbia Rabbi Trusts cash, life insurance policies or other assets having an aggregate fair market value equal to (i) the aggregate fair market value of all assets held in the NiSource Rabbi Trusts as of the Distribution Date multiplied by (ii) a percentage, the numerator of which shall be the lump sum present value of the benefits assumed by the Columbia Deferred Compensation Plans pursuant to this Section 3.03 and the denominator of which shall be the lump sum present value of all benefits accrued under the NiSource Deferred Compensation Plans immediately prior to the Distribution Date.
Compensating Balance Arrangement The Funds and The Bank of New York have entered into a compensating balance arrangement, which would allow the Funds to compensate the Bank for any overdrafts by maintaining a positive cash balance the next day. Conversely, on any day the Funds maintain a positive balance, they will be allowed to overdraw the account as compensation. In both cases, Federal Reserve requirements, currently 10%, will be assessed. Therefore, all overdrafts must be compensated at 100% of the total and all positive balances will allow for an overdraft of 90% of the total. Balances for the tax-exempt portfolios will be permitted an open-ended roll forward. The taxable portfolios are closed out on a quarterly basis with no carry-over to the subsequent quarter. At the end of each quarter, the average overdraft will be assessed a fee of 1% above the actual Federal Funds rate at the end of the period. Any average positive balance will receive an earnings credit computed at the daily effective 90 day T-xxxx rate minus 0.25 bps on the last day of the period. Earnings credits will be offset against the Funds’ safekeeping fees.

Deferred Compensation Plans Borrower has no pension, profit sharing or other compensatory or similar plan (herein called a “Plan”) providing for a program of deferred compensation for any employee or officer. No fact or situation, including but not limited to, any “Reportable Event,” as that term is defined in Section 4043 of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 as the same may be amended from time to time (“Pension Reform Act”), exists or will exist in connection with any Plan of Borrower which might constitute grounds for termination of any Plan by the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation or cause the appointment by the appropriate United States District Court of a Trustee to administer any such Plan. No “Prohibited Transaction” within the meaning of Section 406 of the Pension Reform Act exists or will exist upon the execution and delivery of the Agreement or the performance by the parties hereto of their respective duties and obligations hereunder. Borrower will (1) at all times make prompt payment of contributions required to meet the minimum funding standards set forth in Sections 302 through 305 of the Pension Reform Act with respect to each of its Plans; (2) promptly, after the filing thereof, furnish to Agent copies of each annual report required to be filed pursuant to Section 103 of the Pension Reform Act in connection with each Plan for each Plan Year, including any certified financial statements or actuarial statements required pursuant to said Section 103; (3) notify Agent immediately of any fact, including, but not limited to, any Reportable Event arising in connection with any Plan which might constitute grounds for termination thereof by the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation or for the appointment by the appropriate United States District Court of a Trustee to administer the Plan; and (4) notify Agent of any “Prohibited Transaction” as that term is defined in Section 406 of the Pension Reform Act. Borrower will not (a) engage in any Prohibited Transaction or (b) terminate any such Plan in a manner which could result in the imposition of a Lien on the Property of Borrower pursuant to Section 4068 of the Pension Reform Act.
