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 best execution. In assessing best execution 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.
(b) It is understood that the services of the Sub-Adviser are not exclusive, and nothing in this Agreement shall prevent the Sub-Adviser from providing similar services to other investment companies or from engaging in other activities, provided that those activities do not adversely affect the ability of the Sub-Adviser to perform its services under this Agreement. The Fund and CSAM further understand and acknowledge that the persons employed by the Sub-Adviser to assist in the performance of its duties under this Agreement will not devote their full time to that service. Nothing contained in this Agreement will be deemed to limit or restrict the right of the Sub-Adviser or any affiliate of the Sub-Adviser to engage in and devote time and attention to other businesses or to render services of whatever kind or nature, provided that doing so does not adversely affect the ability of the Sub-Adviser to perform its services under this Agreement.
(c) On occasions when the Sub-Adviser deems the purchase or sale of a security to be in the best interest of the Fund as well as of other investment advisory clients of the Sub-Adviser, the Sub-Adviser may, to the extent permitted by applicable laws and regulations, but shall not be obligated to, aggregate the securities to be so sold or purchased with those of its other clients. In such event, allocation of the securities so purchased or sold, as well as the expenses incurred in the transaction, will be made by the Sub-Adviser in a manner that is fair and equitable, in the judgment of the Sub-Adviser, in the exercise of its fiduciary obligations to the Fund and to such other clients. The Fund recognizes that the effect of the aggregation may operate on some occasions to the Fund's advantage or disadvantage. The Sub-Adviser shall provide to CSAM and the Fund all information reasonably requested by CSAM and the Fund relating to the decisions made by the Sub-Adviser regarding allocation of securities purchased or sold, as well as the expenses incurred in a transaction, among the Fund and the Sub-Adviser's other investment advisory clients.
(d) In connection with the purchase and sale of securities for the Fund, the Sub-Adviser will provide such information as may be reasonably necessary to enable the custodian and co-administrators to perform their administrative and recordkeeping responsibilities with respect to the Fund.
