Tax Periods Beginning Before and Ending After the Closing Date The Company or the Purchaser shall prepare or cause to be prepared and file or cause to be filed any Returns of the Company for Tax periods that begin before the Closing Date and end after the Closing Date. To the extent such Taxes are not fully reserved for in the Company’s financial statements, the Sellers shall pay to the Company an amount equal to the unreserved portion of such Taxes that relates to the portion of the Tax period ending on the Closing Date. Such payment, if any, shall be paid by the Sellers within fifteen (15) days after receipt of written notice from the Company or the Purchaser that such Taxes were paid by the Company or the Purchaser for a period beginning prior to the Closing Date. For purposes of this Section, in the case of any Taxes that are imposed on a periodic basis and are payable for a Taxable period that includes (but does not end on) the Closing Date, the portion of such Tax that relates to the portion of such Tax period ending on the Closing Date shall (i) in the case of any Taxes other than Taxes based upon or related to income or receipts, be deemed to be the amount of such Tax for the entire Tax period multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days in the Tax period ending on the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of days in the entire Tax period (the “Pro Rata Amount”), and (ii) in the case of any Tax based upon or related to income or receipts, be deemed equal to the amount that would be payable if the relevant Tax period ended on the Closing Date. The Sellers shall pay to the Company with the payment of any taxes due hereunder, the Sellers’ Pro Rata Amount of the costs and expenses incurred by the Purchaser or the Company in the preparation and filing of the Tax Returns. Any net operating losses or credits relating to a Tax period that begins before and ends after the Closing Date shall be taken into account as though the relevant Tax period ended on the Closing Date. All determinations necessary to give effect to the foregoing allocations shall be made in a reasonable manner as agreed to by the parties.

Permitted Transactions The Customer agrees that it will cause transactions to be made pursuant to this Agreement only upon Instructions in accordance Section 14 and only for the purposes listed below.
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.
Certain After-Acquired Collateral Borrowers shall promptly notify Agent in writing if, after the Closing Date, any Borrower obtains any interest in any Collateral consisting of Deposit Accounts, Chattel Paper, Documents, Instruments, Intellectual Property, Investment Property or Letter-of-Credit Rights and, upon Agent’s request, shall promptly take such actions as Agent deems appropriate to effect Agent’s duly perfected, first priority Lien upon such Collateral, including obtaining any appropriate possession, control agreement or Lien Waiver. If any Collateral is in the possession of a third party, at Agent’s request, Borrowers shall obtain an acknowledgment that such third party holds the Collateral for the benefit of Agent.
