• Execution of Portfolio Transactions In connection with the investment and reinvestment of the assets of the ------------------------------------ Portfolio, the Sub-Adviser is responsible for the selection of broker-dealers to execute purchase and sale transactions for the Portfolio in conformity with the policy regarding brokerage as set forth in the Registration Statement, or as the Trustees may determine from time to time, as well as the negotiation of brokerage commission rates with such executing broker-dealers. Generally, the Sub-Adviser's primary consideration in placing Portfolio investment transactions with broker-dealers for execution will be to obtain, and maintain the availability of, best execution at the best available price. Consistent with this policy, the Sub-Adviser, in selecting broker-dealers and negotiating brokerage commission rates, will take all relevant factors into consideration, including, but not limited to: the best price available; the reliability, integrity and financial condition of the broker-dealer; the size of and difficulty in executing the order; and the value of the expected contribution of the broker-dealer to the investment performance of the Portfolio on a continuing basis. Subject to such policies and procedures as the Trustees may determine, the Sub-Adviser shall have discretion to effect investment transactions for the Portfolio through broker-dealers (including, to the extent permissible under applicable law, broker-dealers affiliated with the Sub-Adviser) qualified to obtain best execution of such transactions who provide brokerage and/or research services, as such services are defined in section 28(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "1934 Act"), and to cause the Portfolio to pay any such broker-dealers an amount of commission for effecting a portfolio investment transaction in excess of the amount of commission another broker-dealer would have charged for effecting that transaction, if the Sub-Adviser determines in good faith that such amount of commission is reasonable in relation to the value of the brokerage or research services provided by such broker-dealer, viewed in terms of either that particular investment transaction or the Sub-Adviser's overall responsibilities with respect to the Portfolio and other accounts as to which the Sub-Adviser exercises investment discretion (as such term is defined in section 3(a)(35) of the 1934 Act). Allocation of orders placed by the Sub-Adviser on behalf of the Portfolio to such broker-dealers shall be in such amounts and proportions as the Sub-Adviser shall determine in good faith in conformity with its responsibilities under applicable laws, rules and regulations. The Sub-Adviser will submit reports on such allocations to the Investment Manager regularly as requested by the Investment Manager, in such form as may be mutually agreed to by the parties hereto, indicating the broker-dealers to whom such allocations have been made and the basis therefor. Subject to the foregoing provisions of this paragraph 3, the Sub-Adviser may also consider sales of shares of the Portfolio, or may consider or follow recommendations of the Investment Manager that take such sales into account, as factors in the selection of broker-dealers to effect the Portfolio's investment transactions. Notwithstanding the above, nothing shall require the Sub-Adviser to use a broker-dealer which provides research services or to use a particular broker-dealer which the Investment Manager has recommended.

No holder of Registrable Securities included in such registration statement shall be required to make any representations or warranties in the underwriting agreement except, if applicable, with respect to such holder’s organization, good standing, authority, title to Registrable Securities, lack of conflict of such sale with such holder’s material agreements and organizational documents, and with respect to written information relating to such holder that such holder has furnished in writing expressly for inclusion in such Registration Statement.
