  • Duties as Sub-Adviser (a) Subject to the supervision and direction of the Trust's Board of Trustees (the "Board") and review by UBS Global AM, and any written guidelines adopted by the Board or UBS Global AM, the Sub-Adviser will provide a continuous investment program for the Portfolio or Segment, including investment research and discretionary management with respect to all securities and investments and cash equivalents in the Portfolio or Segment. The Sub-Adviser will determine from time to time what investments will be purchased, retained or sold by the Portfolio or Segment. The Sub-Adviser will be responsible for placing purchase and sell orders for investments and for other related transactions for the Portfolio or Segment. The Sub-Adviser understands that the Portfolio's assets need to be managed so as to permit the Portfolio to qualify or to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended ("Code"). The Sub-Adviser will provide services under this Agreement in accordance with the Portfolio's investment objective, policies and restrictions as stated in the Trust's currently effective registration statement under the 1940 Act, and any amendments or supplements thereto ("Registration Statement"). (b) The Sub-Adviser agrees that it will not consult with any other sub-adviser ("Other Sub-Adviser") for the Trust or Portfolio concerning any transaction by the Portfolio or Segment in securities or other assets, including (i) the purchase by the Portfolio or Segment of a security issued by the Other Sub-Adviser, or an affiliate of the Other Sub-Adviser, to the Trust or Portfolio except as permitted by the 1940 Act or (ii) transactions by the Portfolio or Segment in any security for which the Other Sub-Adviser, or its affiliate, is the principal underwriter. (c) The Sub-Adviser agrees that it will be responsible for voting proxies of issuers of securities held by the Portfolio or Segment. The Sub-Adviser further agrees that it will adopt written proxy voting procedures that shall comply with the requirements of the 1940 Act and the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended ("Advisers Act"), and that shall be acceptable to the Board. The Sub-Adviser further agrees that it will provide the Board on or before August 1st of each year, or more frequently as the Board may reasonably request, with a written report of the proxies voted during the most recent 12-month period ending June 30, or such other period as the Board may designate, in a format that shall comply with the 1940 Act and that shall be acceptable to the Board. (d) The Sub-Adviser agrees that, in placing orders with brokers, it will obtain the best net result in terms of price and execution; provided that, on behalf of the Portfolio or Segment, the Sub-Adviser may, in its discretion, use brokers that provide the Sub-Adviser with research, analysis, advice and similar services to execute portfolio transactions on behalf of the Portfolio or Segment, and the Sub-Adviser may pay to those brokers in return for brokerage and research services a higher commission than may be charged by other brokers, subject to the Sub-Adviser's determination in good faith that such commission is reasonable in terms either of the particular transaction or of the overall responsibility of the Sub-Adviser to the Portfolio or Segment and its other clients and that the total commissions paid by the Portfolio or Segment will be reasonable in relation to the benefits to the Portfolio or Segment over the long term. In no instance will portfolio securities be purchased from or sold to UBS Global AM or the Sub-Adviser, or any affiliated person thereof, except in accordance with the federal securities laws and the rules and regulations thereunder. The Sub-Adviser may aggregate sales and purchase orders with respect to the assets of the Portfolio or Segment with similar orders being made simultaneously for other accounts advised by the Sub-Adviser or its affiliates. Whenever the Sub-Adviser simultaneously places orders to purchase or sell the same security on behalf of the Portfolio or Segment and one or more other accounts advised by the Sub-Adviser, the orders will be allocated as to price and amount among all such accounts in a manner believed to be equitable over time to each account. UBS Global AM recognizes that in some cases this procedure may adversely affect the results obtained for the Portfolio or Segment. Subject to the Sub-Adviser's obligations to seek best execution, UBS Global AM agrees that the Sub-Adviser, in its sole discretion, may place transactions on behalf of the Portfolio and the Trust with any broker-dealer deemed to be an affiliate of the Sub-Adviser (the "Affiliated Broker-Dealers") so long as such transactions are effected in conformity with the requirements (including any applicable exemptions and administrative interpretations set forth in Part II of the Sub-Adviser's Form ADV Registration Statement on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("Form ADV")) of Section 11(a)(1)(H) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. In all such dealings, the Affiliated Broker-Dealers shall be authorized and entitled to retain any commissions, remuneration or profits which may be made in such transactions and shall not be liable to account for the same to UBS Global AM, the Portfolio or the Trust.
