(xiii) The Company understands that the Sub-Adviser now acts, will continue to act and may act in the future as investment manager or adviser to fiduciary and other managed accounts, and as investment manager or adviser to other investment companies, including any offshore entities, or accounts, and the Company has no objection to the Sub-Adviser’s so acting, provided that whenever the Fund and one or more other investment companies or accounts managed or advised by the Sub-Adviser have available funds for investment, investments suitable and appropriate for each will be allocated in accordance with a formula believed to be equitable to each company and account. The Company recognizes that in some cases this procedure may adversely affect the size of the position or the prices obtainable for the Fund. The Sub-Adviser agrees that its trading procedures will, in the good faith belief of the Sub-Adviser, be fair and equitable for the Fund and the Sub-Adviser’s other clients; however, the Manager and the Company recognize that from time to time the Sub-Adviser may place trades with broker-dealers for other clients that will be executed ahead of investment instructions sent to the Manager. In addition, the Company understands that the persons employed by the Sub-Adviser to assist in the performance of the Sub-Adviser’s duties under this Agreement will not devote their full time to such service and nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to limit or restrict the right of the Sub-Adviser or any affiliated person of the Sub-Adviser to engage in and devote time and attention to other businesses or to render services of whatever kind or nature.
