Duties of Manager (a) Citi Management shall act as the Manager for the Trust and as such shall furnish continuously an investment program and shall determine from time to time what securities shall be purchased, sold or exchanged and what portion of the assets of the Trust shall be held uninvested, subject always to the restrictions of the Trust's Amended and Restated Declaration of Trust, dated as of September 28, 2001, and By-Laws, as each may be amended and restated from time to time (respectively, the "Declaration" and the "By-Laws"), the provisions of the 1940 Act, and the then-current Registration Statement of the Trust. 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determination for the period, if any, specified in such notice or until similarly notified that such determination has been revoked.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. In connection with the selection of such brokers or dealers and the placing of such orders, brokers or dealers may be selected who also provide brokerage and research services (as those terms are defined in Section 28(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) to the Trust and/or the other accounts over which the Manager or its affiliates exercise investment discretion. The Manager is authorized to pay a broker or dealer who provides such brokerage and research services a commission for executing a portfolio transaction for the Trust which is in excess of the amount of commission another broker or dealer would have charged for effecting that transaction if the Manager determines in good faith that such amount of commission is reasonable in relation to the value of the brokerage and research services provided by such broker or dealer. 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. In providing the services and assuming the obligations set forth herein, the Manager may employ, at its own expense, or may request that the Trust employ at the Trust's expense, one or more subadvisers; provided that in each case the Manager shall supervise the activities of each subadviser. 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. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Citi Management shall not be deemed to have assumed any duties with respect to, and shall not be responsible for, the distribution of shares of beneficial interest in the Trust, nor shall the Manager be deemed to have assumed or have any responsibility with respect to functions specifically assumed by any transfer agent, fund accounting agent, custodian or investor servicing agent 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.
