The Manager shall also make recommendations as to the manner in which voting rights, rights to consent to corporate action and any other rights pertaining to the Trust's portfolio securities shall be exercised. Should the Board of Trustees of the Trust at any time, however, make any definite determination as to investment policy applicable to the Trust and notify the Manager thereof in writing, the Manager shall be bound by such determination for the period, if any, specified in such notice or until similarly notified that such determination has been revoked. The Manager shall take, on behalf of the Trust, all actions which it deems necessary to implement the investment policies determined as provided above, and in particular to place all orders for the purchase or sale of securities for the Trust's account with the brokers or dealers selected by it, and to that end the Manager is authorized as the agent of the Trust to give instructions to the custodian or any subcustodian of the Trust as to deliveries of securities and payments of cash for the account of the Trust.

This determination may be viewed in terms of either that particular transaction or the overall responsibilities which the Manager and its affiliates have with respect to accounts over which they exercise investment discretion. In making purchases or sales of securities or other property for the account of the Trust, the Manager may deal with itself or with the Trustees of the Trust or the Trust's underwriter or distributor or with its or their respective affiliates, or affiliates of affiliates, to the extent such actions are permitted by the 1940 Act.

Any agreement between the Manager and a subadviser shall be subject to the renewal, termination and amendment provisions applicable to this Agreement. Any agreement between the Trust and a subadviser may be terminated by the Manager at any time on not more than 60 days' nor less than 30 days' written notice to the Trust and the subadviser. To the extent authorized by the Board of Trustees and subject to applicable provisions of the 1940 Act, the investment program to be provided hereunder may entail the investment of all or a portion of the assets of the Trust in one or more investment companies. (b) Subject to the direction and control of the Board of Trustees of the Trust, Citi Management shall perform such administrative and management services as may from time to time be reasonably requested by the Trust, which shall include without limitation: (i) providing office space, equipment and clerical personnel necessary for maintaining the organization of the Trust and for performing the administrative and management functions herein set forth; (ii) supervising the overall administration of the Trust, including negotiation of contracts and fees with and the monitoring of performance and billings of the Trust's transfer agent, investor servicing agents, cusxxxxxx xnd other independent contractors or agents; and (iii) arranging for maintenance of books and records of the Trust.

In providing administrative and management services as set forth herein, the Manager may, at its own expense, employ one or more subadministrators; provided that the Manager shall remain fully responsible for the performance of all administrative and management duties set forth herein and shall supervise the activities of each subadministrator.
