Selection of Broker-Dealers In selecting broker-dealers qualified to execute a particular transaction, brokers or dealers may be selected who also provide brokerage or research services (as those terms are defined in Section 28(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) to the Adviser and/or the other accounts over which the Adviser or its affiliates exercise investment discretion. The Adviser is authorized to pay a broker or dealer who provides such brokerage or research services a commission for executing a portfolio transaction for the Series that is in excess of the amount of commission another broker or dealer would have charged for effecting that transaction if the 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 or dealer and is paid in compliance with Section 28(e). This determination may be viewed in terms of either that particular transaction or the overall responsibilities that the Adviser and its affiliates have with respect to accounts over which they exercise investment discretion. The Adviser may consider the sale of shares of the Series and of other investment companies advised by the Adviser as a factor in the selection of brokers or dealers to effect transactions for the Series, subject to the Adviser's duty to seek best execution. The Adviser may also select brokers or dealers to effect transactions for the Series that provide payment for expenses of the Series. The Board shall periodically review the commissions paid by the Series to determine if the commissions paid over representative periods of time were reasonable in relation to the benefits received.
