Execution of Transactions. (a) In executing transactions for the Assets, selecting brokers or dealers and negotiating any brokerage commission rates, the Sub-Adviser will use its best efforts to seek the best overall terms available. In assessing the best overall terms available for any portfolio transaction, the Sub-Adviser will consider all factors it deems relevant including, but not limited to, the breadth of the market in the security, the price of the security, the financial condition and execution capability of the broker or dealer and the reasonableness of any commission for the specific transaction and for transactions executed through the broker or dealer in the aggregate. In selecting brokers or dealers to execute a particular transaction and in evaluating the best overall terms available, to the extent that the execution and price offered by more than one broker or dealer are comparable the Sub-Adviser may consider any brokerage and research services (as those terms are defined in Section 28(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) provided to the Sub-Adviser or to CSAM for use on behalf of the Fund or other clients of the Sub-Adviser or CSAM.
Execution of Transactions. Except as provided below regarding prime brokerage arrangements, Management will arrange for the execution of securities transactions through the brokerage firm specified below if directed by Client. Client is aware that the commissions/fees paid under such circumstances are a matter for negotiation solely between Client and Client’s broker presently and in the future, regardless of changes to industry standards. Client acknowledges that the commissions/fees paid under such an arrangement may be more or less than those for other clients of Management, and execution service may be more or less favorable. Client understands and agrees that Management’s brokerage practices shall otherwise be consistent with the disclosure in Management’s Form ADV2, as amended from time to time. In all events, Management may utilize a prime brokerage or step-out relationship if Custodian allows such relationships and if, over time, it is in the best interest of Client, in which event, Management shall have the authority to choose and instruct executing brokers. Client recognizes that individual trades may not always be beneficial to Client.
Execution of Transactions. The Manager will place orders pursuant to its investment determinations for each Series either directly with the issuer or through any brokers or dealers. In the selection of brokers or dealers and the placement of orders for the purchase and sale of portfolio investments for each Series, the Manager shall use its best efforts to obtain for each Series the most favorable price and execution available, except to the extent that it may be permitted to pay higher brokerage commissions for brokerage or research services as described below. In using its best efforts to obtain the most favorable price and execution available, the Manager, bearing in mind each Series' best interests at all times, shall consider all factors it deems relevant, including by way of illustration, price, the size of the transaction, the nature of the market for the security, the amount of the commission, the timing of the transaction taking into account market prices and trends, the reputation, experience and financial stability of the broker or dealer involved and the quality of service rendered by the broker or dealer in other transactions. Subject to such policies as the Board may determine, the Manager shall not be deemed to have acted unlawfully or to have breached any duty created by this Agreement or otherwise solely by reason of its having caused a Series to pay a broker that provides brokerage or research services to the Manager an amount of commission for effecting a portfolio investment transaction in excess of the amount of commission another broker 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 or research services provided by such broker or dealer, viewed in terms of either that particular transaction or the Manager's overall responsibilities with respect to such Series and to other clients of the Manager as to which the Manager exercises investment discretion.
Execution of Transactions. (a) The Sub-adviser agrees that it will execute transactions for the Portfolio only through brokers or dealers appearing on a list of brokers and dealers approved by the Manager. The Sub-adviser may place orders with respect to the Portfolio with Mutual Management Corp. or its affiliates in accordance with Section 11(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 11a2-2(T) thereunder, Section 17(e) of the Act and Rule 17e-1 thereunder and other applicable laws and regulations.

Execution of Transactions. The parties intend that they are legally bound by the terms of each Transaction from the moment they agree to those terms (whether orally or otherwise). A Confirmation shall be entered into as soon as practicable and may be executed and delivered in counterparts (including by facsimile transmission) or be created by exchange of electronic messages on an electronic messaging system, facsimile transmissions or other delivery, which in each case will be sufficient for all purposes to evidence a binding supplement to this Agreement. With respect to Confirmations created by an exchange of electronic messages, facsimile transmissions or other delivery, only those terms which match and are contained in the messages sent by both parties will form the Confirmation of the Transaction. Where a Transaction is confirmed by means of electronic messaging system (including, without limitation, circumstances where such electronic message is printed and faxed or otherwise delivered by one party to the other party) such confirmation will constitute a ‘Confirmation’ as referred to in this Agreement even where not so specified in the Confirmation. The location, branch or office of each party to which payment or delivery is required under the terms of a Transaction shall be deemed to be an “Office” for purposes of Section 10 of the Agreement even where the Confirmation does not expressly identify such location, branch or office as an “Office”.
Execution of Transactions. (a) The Sub-Adviser will execute transactions for the Fund only through brokers or dealers appearing on a list of brokers and dealers approved by BEA. In executing transactions for the Fund, selecting brokers or dealers and negotiating any brokerage commission rates, the Sub-Adviser will use its best efforts to seek the best overall terms available. In assessing the best overall terms available for any portfolio transaction, the Sub-Adviser will consider all factors it deems relevant including, but not limited to, the breadth of the market in the security, the price of the security, the financial condition and execution capability of the broker or dealer and the reasonableness of any commission for the specific transaction and for transactions executed through the broker or dealer in the aggregate. In selecting brokers or dealers to execute a particular transaction and in evaluating the best overall terms available, to the extent that the execution and price offered by more than one broker or dealer are comparable the Sub-Adviser may consider any brokerage and research services (as those terms are defined in Section 28(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) provided to the Sub-Adviser or to BEA for use on behalf of the Fund or other clients of the Sub-Adviser or BEA.
Execution of Transactions. In the selection of brokers or dealers and the placement of orders for the purchase and sale of portfolio investments for the Fund, the Advisor shall use its best efforts to obtain for the Fund the most favorable price and execution available, except to the extent that it may be permitted to pay higher brokerage commissions for brokerage or research services. In doing so, the Advisor may consider such factors which it deems relevant to the Fund's best interest, such as price, the size of the transaction, the nature of the market for the security, the amount of the commission, the timing of the transaction, the reputation, experience and financial stability of the broker-dealer involved and the quality of service rendered by the broker-dealer in other transactions. Subject to such policies as the Board may determine, the Advisor shall not be deemed to have acted unlawfully or to have breached any duty created by this Agreement or otherwise solely by reason of its having caused a Fund to pay a broker that provides brokerage or research services to the Advisor an amount of commission for effecting a portfolio investment transaction in excess of the amount of commission another broker would have charged for effecting that transaction if the Advisor 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, viewed in terms of either that particular transaction or the Advisor 's overall responsibilities with respect to the Fund and to other clients of the Advisor as to which the Advisor exercises investment discretion.
Execution of Transactions. PineBridge may place orders for the execution of transactions with or through such brokers, dealers or banks as PineBridge may select in its sole discretion, and may, consistent with its duty to seek best execution and in compliance with applicable securities laws, including Section 28(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, pay a commission on transactions which may be greater than the amount of the commission another broker or dealer might have charged, provided that PineBridge determines in good faith that such amount of commission was reasonable in relation to the value of the brokerage and research services provided viewed in terms of either that particular transaction or the overall responsibilities with respect to all the accounts as to which investment discretion was exercised. Subject to the foregoing, the Adviser acknowledges that such research services rendered may be useful in providing services to clients other than the Adviser or indirectly the Fund, and that not all such information will necessarily be used by PineBridge in connection with rendering sub-advisory services to the Adviser with respect to the Fund.
Execution of Transactions. For the purposes of this Agreement, the parties intend that they are legally bound by the terms of each Transaction from the moment they agree to those terms (whether orally or otherwise) with respect to each Transaction. A Confirmation shall be entered into by the parties and may be executed and delivered in counterparts including by facsimile transmission which will be sufficient for all purposes to evidence a binding supplement to this Agreement. Unless a Transaction has been or will be confirmed by way of an electronic messaging system: (a) Party A will, on or promptly after entering into each Transaction, send to Party B by facsimile transmission a Confirmation in the form utilized by Party A; (b) Party B will promptly thereafter confirm by facsimile the accuracy of or request the correction of such Confirmation; and (c) upon such confirmation by Party B, such facsimile transmissions shall be deemed to constitute a legally binding supplement to this Agreement upon the particular terms stated therein."
