In such event, allocation of the investments so purchased or sold, as well as the expenses incurred in the transactions, shall be made by the Subadviser in the manner the Subadviser considers to be most equitable and consistent with its fiduciary obligations to the Series and to such other clients. Nothing in this Agreement shall impose upon the Subadviser any obligation to purchase or sell, or recommend for purchase or sale, for the Series any investment which it or its officers, directors, affiliates or employees may purchase or sell for the Subadviser or such officer's, director's, affiliate's or employee's own accounts or for the account of any of the Subadviser's clients, advisory or otherwise. The Subadviser may give advice and take action with respect to other funds or clients, or for its own account that may differ from the advice or the timing or nature of action taken with respect to the Series. Nothing in this Agreement shall be implied to prevent (1) the Manager from engaging other subadvisers to provide investment advice and other services in relation to other series of the Trust for which the Subadviser does not provide such services, or to prevent the Manager from providing such services itself in relation to such series; or (2) the Subadviser from providing investment advice and other services to other funds or clients.

When a security proposed to be purchased or sold for the Series is also to be purchased or sold for other accounts managed by the Subadviser at the same time, the Subadviser shall make such purchases or sales on a pro-rata, rotating or other equitable basis so as to avoid any one account's being preferred over any other account. The Subadviser may give advice and take action with respect to other funds or clients, or for its own account which may differ from the advice or the timing or nature of action taken with respect to the Series. Nothing in this Agreement shall be implied to prevent the (i) Manager from engaging other subadvisers to provide investment advice and other services in relation to portfolios of the Trust for which the Subadviser does not provide such services, or to prevent the Manager from providing such services itself in relation to such portfolios; or (ii) the Subadviser from providing investment advice and other services to other funds or clients.
