The Sub-Adviser will vote all proxies solicited by or with respect to the issuers of securities which assets of the Fund’s investment portfolio allocated by the Adviser to the Sub-Adviser are invested, consistent with its proxy voting guidelines and based upon the best interests of the Fund. The Sub-Adviser will maintain appropriate records detailing its voting of proxies on behalf of the Fund and upon reasonable request will provide a report setting forth the proposals voted on and how the Fund’s shares were voted, including the name of the corresponding issuers.

Sub-Adviser may select itself as a broker, in an agency capacity, to execute transactions in portfolio securities for the Fund in accordance with policies and procedures adopted by the Fund’s Board of Trustees from time to time. It is understood that the Sub-Adviser will not be deemed to have acted unlawfully, or to have breached a fiduciary duty to the Fund, or be in breach of any obligation owing to the Fund under this Agreement, or otherwise, solely by reason of its having caused the Fund to pay a member of a securities exchange, a broker or a dealer (including the Sub-Adviser’s internal broker-dealer) a commission for effecting a securities transaction for the Fund in excess of the amount of commission another member of an exchange, broker or dealer would have charged if the Sub-Adviser determined in good faith that the commission paid was reasonable in relation to the brokerage or research services provided by such member, broker or dealer, viewed in terms of that particular transaction or the Sub-Adviser’s overall responsibilities with respect to its accounts, including the Fund, as to which it exercises investment discretion. In addition, if in the judgment of the Sub-Adviser, the Fund would be benefited by supplemental services, the Sub-Adviser is authorized to pay spreads or commissions to brokers or dealers furnishing such services in excess of spreads or commissions that another broker or dealer may charge for the same transaction, provided that the Sub-Adviser determined in good faith that the commission or spread paid was reasonable in relation to the services provided. The Sub-Adviser will properly communicate to the officers and trustees of the Fund such information relating to transactions for the Fund as they may reasonably request. In no instance will portfolio securities be purchased from or sold to the Manager, Sub-Adviser or any affiliated person of either the Fund, Manager, or Sub-Adviser, except as may be permitted under the 1940 Act; Sub-Adviser further agrees that it: (a) will use the same degree of skill and care in providing such services as it uses in providing services to fiduciary accounts for which it has investment responsibilities; (b) will conform to all applicable Rules and Regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission in all material respects and in addition will conduct its activities under this Agreement in accordance with any applicable regulations of any governmental authority pertaining to its investment advisory activities; (c) will report regularly to Manager and to the Board of Trustees of the Fund and will make appropriate persons available for the purpose of reviewing with representatives of Manager and the Board of Trustees on a regular basis at reasonable times the management of the Fund, including, without limitation, review of the general investment strategies of the Fund with respect to preferred securities, the performance of the Fund’s investment portfolio allocated to preferred securities in relation to standard industry indices and general conditions affecting the marketplace and will provide various other reports from time to time as reasonably requested by Manager; and (d) will monitor the pricing of portfolio securities, and events relating to the issuers of those securities and the markets in which the securities trade in the ordinary course of managing the portfolio securities of the Fund, and will notify Manager promptly of any issuer-specific or market events or other situations that occur (particularly those that may occur after the close of a foreign market in which the securities may primarily trade but before the time at which the Fund’s securities are priced on a given day) that may materially impact the pricing of one or more securities in Sub-Adviser’s portion of the portfolio. In addition, Sub-Adviser will assist Manager in evaluating the impact that such an event may have on the net asset value of the Fund and in determining a recommended fair value of the affected security or securities; and (e) will prepare such books and records with respect to the Fund’s securities transactions for the portion of the Fund’s investment portfolio allocated to preferred securities as requested by the Manager and will furnish Manager and Fund’s Board of Trustees such periodic and special reports as the Board or Manager may reasonably request.

  • Services to Others Manager understands, and has advised Fund's Board of Trustees, that Sub-Adviser now acts, or may in the future act, as an investment adviser to fiduciary and other managed accounts, and as investment adviser or sub-investment adviser to one or more other investment companies that are not a series of the Fund, provided that whenever the Fund and one or more other investment advisory clients of Sub-Adviser have available funds for investment, investments suitable and appropriate for each will be allocated in a manner believed by Sub-Adviser to be equitable to each. Manager recognizes, and has advised Fund's Board of Trustees, that in some cases this procedure may adversely affect the size of the position that the Fund may obtain in a particular security. It is further agreed that, on occasions when the Sub-Adviser deems the purchase or sale of a security to be in the best interests of the Fund as well as other accounts, it may, to the extent permitted by applicable law, but will not be obligated to, aggregate the securities to be so sold or purchased for the Fund with those to be sold or purchased for other accounts in order to obtain favorable execution and lower brokerage commissions. In addition, Manager understands, and has advised Fund's Board of Trustees, that the persons employed by Sub-Adviser to assist in Sub-Adviser's duties under this Agreement will not devote their full such efforts and service to the Fund. It is also agreed that the Sub-Adviser may use any supplemental research obtained for the benefit of the Fund in providing investment advice to its other investment advisory accounts or for managing its own accounts.

  • SERVICES TO BE PROVIDED (a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, other than as set forth on the applicable Schedule and subject to Sections 2.4 and 2.10 hereof, (i) the Services to be provided by SVU as Service Provider hereunder shall be limited to (A) the Services with respect to which it is listed as the Service Provider on Schedule 2 hereto, (B) as to the NAI business which Albertson’s is acquiring, the Services which SVU and its Affiliates have historically provided to the NAI-acquired business, and (C) the Services performed by SVU and its Affiliates for Albertson’s as of immediately prior to the date of the SPA; provided that any change in Services after the date of the SPA but prior to the Effective Date shall be approved by the Steering Committee, (ii) the Services to be provided by Albertson’s as Service Provider hereunder shall be limited to the Services with respect to which it is listed as the Service Provider on Schedule 2 hereto, and (iii) in no event shall the Service Provider be required to provide any other services to the Receiving Party. The parties acknowledge and agree that they have sought to identify all Services to be provided by the Service Provider under this Services Agreement on the Schedules hereto, but that if the Schedules do not include the Services performed immediately prior to the date of the SPA by the Service Provider, the parties shall cooperate after the Closing Date to amend and/or supplement the Schedules hereto from time to time to more accurately reflect such past practice; provided, however, that (i) in no event will the Service Provider be obligated to provide any Service which (A) is listed on Schedule 2 as “deleted” or indicated in any way as no longer required or (B) is indicated to be provided only on a temporary basis and such time period has lapsed, subject to the possible extension of such Service in accordance with Section 3.3, and (ii) Schedule 1 hereto sets forth the agreement of the parties with respect to procurement of goods for the Receiving Party and shall control that Service notwithstanding the past practices of the parties with respect to procurement of goods. (b) The Service Provider or its designees shall perform the Services only in a manner, scope, nature and quality (such manner, scope, nature and quality, the “Applicable Service Level”) that is, in the case of SVU as the Service Provider, the same in all material respects as the manner in which such Services were performed or to be performed by SVU and its Affiliates for Albertson’s as of immediately prior to the Date of the SPA, or, where a specific service level has been provided, as set forth in the Schedules hereto and, in the case of Albertson’s as Service Provider, in the manner described on Schedule 2. For the avoidance of doubt, any change in service levels provided by the Service Provider to itself and its Affiliates after the Date of the SPA shall not affect the Applicable Service Level to be provided to the Receiving Party pursuant to this Services Agreement. Unless otherwise set forth herein or on the applicable Schedule, the Services provided hereunder shall be used by the Receiving Party for substantially the same purposes and in substantially the same manner (including as to volume, amount, level or frequency, as applicable) as such Services were used by the Receiving Party as of immediately prior to the Date of the SPA. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties acknowledge and agree that (1) Albertson’s acquisition of the NAI business shall not be deemed an increase of volume, amount, level or frequency, that SVU shall provide the Services contemplated herein to the NAI business, and that SVU’s provision of services to the NAI business shall include the services historically provided by SVU or its Affiliates to NAI (or which NAI provided to itself), as well as the Services identified on Schedule 2, and (2) Albertson’s request for Services for New Stores as defined in Exhibit A shall not constitute an increase in volume, amount, level of frequency of Services. The Service Provider shall act under this Services Agreement solely as an independent contractor and not as an agent or employee of any other party or any of such party’s Affiliates. For the purposes of clarity, the parties acknowledge and agree that if and to the extent the Service Provider changes systems and processes used in the course of its business for its own account the Service Provider shall not permit such changes to degrade the Applicable Service Level. (c) The provision of Services by the Service Provider shall be subject to Article V hereof. (d) The parties have agreed to separate the Legal function of SVU and transition certain legal associates to Albertson’s over a period of up to ninety (90) days after the Effective Date (the “Legal Transition Period”). At the Effective Date, certain attorneys responsible for the provision of certain Services to Albertson’s (the “Transitioned Attorneys”) will transition to and become employed by Albertson’s at Albertson’s option. At some point during the Legal Transition Period, Albertson’s will have the option to make Qualifying Offers (as defined in the SPA) to some or all of an additional group of identified members of the SVU Legal function. During the Legal Transition Period, the parties will cooperate with respect to the transition of legal matters between them, and each of Albertson’s (but only with respect to the services provided by the Transitioned Attorneys and only to the extent historically provided to SVU) and SVU will provide legal services pursuant to Schedule 2 hereto, if needed, provided that (i) SVU may, in its discretion and at its expense, provide outside counsel (reasonably selected from a list of outside counsel used by Albertson’s prior to the Effective Date) in lieu of providing such legal services directly (it being understood that such outside counsel providing Services to Albertson’s hereunder will be acting on behalf of and as counsel for Albertson’s, and that (as between Albertson’s and SVU) Albertson’s will control the attorney-client relationship); (ii) neither party will in any case provide services with respect to commercial or other litigation that the other party has agreed to assume responsibility for, or to indemnify the other party or its Affiliates for, pursuant to the SPA (provided, however, that SVU will continue to cooperate in providing in-house litigation support (other than litigation management) to the extent historically provided by SVU to Albertson’s and Albertson’s acknowledges that during the Legal Transition Period in-house litigation support will continue to be provided to SVU by the remaining SVU legal function not hired by Albertson’s as of the Effective Date); (iii) SVU will not be responsible for providing legal services to Albertson’s in quantities that exceed the historical levels provided by SVU to Albertson’s; and (iv) each party will provide any reasonable and customary waiver of conflicts of interest or similar waiver reasonably requested by the other party or any substituted outside counsel in connection with the legal services provided pursuant to this Services Agreement, provided that no such waiver shall materially disadvantage the other party with respect to any matter handled by such counsel. Upon the elimination of legal services as Services under this Services Agreement, there will be a dollar-for-dollar reduction in the fees payable during the Initial Term equal to the salary and benefits of each employee that transfers employment to Albertson’s pursuant to a Qualifying Offer (as defined in the SPA) made in Albertson’s sole discretion, and, if necessary, the parties will execute a letter agreement confirming the reduction as soon as reasonably possible thereafter. (e) Similar to the legal transition referenced in Section 2.1(d), the parties have agreed to the elimination of additional Services originally contemplated to be provided by SVU pursuant to this Services Agreement by the employees of SVU and its Subsidiaries identified on Exhibit G. Upon the elimination of such Services from this Services Agreement, Albertson’s will receive credits against the fees payable pursuant to this Services Agreement as such credits are set forth on Exhibit G, and, if necessary, the parties will execute a letter agreement confirming the reduction as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter. (f) The parties agree to meet on or before September 20, 2013, to review the Services being provided and determine if there are any Services no longer required and which may be deleted from the Service schedules.

(c) Implement the approved investment program for the Allocated Assets by placing orders for the purchase and sale of securities without prior consultation with the Manager and without regard to the length of time the securities have been held, the resulting rate of portfolio turnover or any tax considerations, subject always to the provisions of the Fund’s registration statement, Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws and the requirements of the 1940 Act, as each of the same shall be from time to time in effect. (d) Advise and assist the officers of the Fund, as requested by the officers, in taking such steps as are necessary or appropriate to carry out the decisions of its Board of Directors, and any appropriate committees of such Board, regarding the general conduct of the investment business of each Series. (e) Maintain, in connection with the Sub-Advisor’s investment advisory services provided to the Allocated Assets, compliance with the 1940 Act and the regulations adopted by the SEC thereunder and the Series’ investment strategies and restrictions as stated in the Fund’s prospectus and statement of additional information and any specific criteria applicable to the Allocated Assets. (f) Report to the Board of Directors of the Fund at such times and in such detail as the Board of Directors may reasonably deem appropriate in order to enable it to determine that the investment policies, procedures and approved investment program of each Series (and any specific criteria applicable to the Allocated Assets) are being observed. (g) Upon request, provide assistance and recommendations for the determination of the fair value of certain securities when reliable market quotations are not readily available for purposes of calculating net asset value in accordance with procedures and methods established by the Fund’s Board of Directors. (h) Furnish, at its own expense, (i) all necessary investment and management facilities, including salaries of clerical and other personnel required for it to execute its duties faithfully, and (ii) administrative facilities, including bookkeeping, clerical personnel and equipment necessary for the efficient conduct of the investment advisory affairs of each Series. (i) Open accounts with Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act compliant broker-dealers and futures commission merchants (“broker-dealers”), select broker-dealers to effect all transactions for each Series, place all necessary orders with broker‑dealers or issuers (including affiliated broker-dealers), and negotiate commissions, if applicable. To the extent consistent with applicable law, purchase or sell orders for each Series may be aggregated with contemporaneous purchase or sell orders of other clients of the Sub-Advisor. In such event allocation of securities so sold or purchased, as well as the expenses incurred in the transaction, will be made by the Sub‑Advisor in the manner the Sub-Advisor considers to be the most equitable and consistent with its fiduciary obligations to the Fund and to other clients. The Sub-Advisor will report on such allocations at the request of the Manager, the Fund or the Fund’s Board of Directors providing such information as the number of aggregated trades to which each Series was a party, the broker-dealers to whom such trades were directed and the basis for the allocation for the aggregated trades. The Sub-Advisor shall use its best efforts to obtain execution of transactions for each Series at prices which are advantageous to the Series and at commission rates that are reasonable in relation to the benefits received. However, the Sub-Advisor may select brokers or dealers on the basis that they provide brokerage, research or other services or products to the Sub-Advisor. To the extent consistent with applicable law, the Sub-Advisor may pay a broker or dealer an amount of commission for effecting a securities transaction in excess of the amount of commission or dealer spread another broker or dealer would have charged for effecting that transaction if the Sub-Advisor determines in good faith that such amount of commission is reasonable in relation to the value of the brokerage and research products and/or services provided by such broker or dealer. This determination, with respect to brokerage and research products and/or services, may be viewed in terms of either that particular transaction or the overall responsibilities which the Sub-Advisor and its affiliates have with respect to each Series as well as to accounts over which they exercise investment discretion. Not all such services or products need be used by the Sub-Advisor in managing the Allocated Assets. In addition, joint repurchase or other accounts may not be utilized by the Series except to the extent permitted under any exemptive order obtained by the Sub-Advisor provided that all conditions of such order are complied with. (j) Maintain all accounts, books and records with respect to the Allocated Assets as are required of an investment advisor of a registered investment company pursuant to the 1940 Act and Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended (the “Advisers Act”), and the rules thereunder, and furnish the Fund and the Manager with such periodic and special reports as the Fund or the Manager may reasonably request. In compliance with the requirements of Rule 31a-3 under the 1940 Act, the Sub-Advisor hereby agrees that all records that it maintains for each Series are the property of the Fund, agrees to preserve for the periods described by Rule 31a-2 under the 1940 Act any records that it maintains for the Series and that are required to be maintained by Rule 31a-1 under the 1940 Act, and further agrees to surrender promptly to the Fund any records that it maintains for a Series upon request by the Fund or the Manager. The Sub-Advisor has no responsibility for the maintenance of Fund records except insofar as is directly related to the services the Sub-Advisor provides to a Series. (k) Observe and comply with Rule 17j-1 under the 1940 Act and the Sub-Advisor’s Code of Ethics adopted pursuant to that Rule as the same may be amended from time to time. The Manager acknowledges receipt of a copy of the Sub-Advisor’s current Code of Ethics. The Sub-Advisor shall promptly forward to the Manager a copy of any material amendment to the Sub-Advisor’s Code of Ethics along with certification that the Sub-Advisor has implemented procedures for administering the Sub-Advisor’s Code of Ethics. (l) From time to time as the Manager or the Fund may request, furnish the requesting party reports on portfolio transactions and reports on investments held by a Series, all in such detail as the Manager or the Fund may reasonably request. The Sub-Advisor will make available its officers and employees to meet with the Fund’s Board of Directors at the Fund’s principal place of business on due notice to review the investments of a Series. (m) Provide such information as is customarily provided by a sub-advisor, or as may be required or reasonably requested by the Manager, for the Fund or the Manager to comply with their respective obligations under applicable laws, including, without limitation, the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), the 1940 Act, the Advisers Act, the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and any state securities laws, and any rule or regulation thereunder. Such information includes, but is not limited to: the Sub-Advisor’s compliance manual and policies and procedures adopted to comply with Rule 206(4)-7 of the Advisers Act; the Sub-Advisor’s most recent annual compliance report or a detailed summary of such report; timely and complete responses to all Quarterly Compliance Questionnaires (including the identification of any material compliance maters and a copy of any material changes to the Sub-Advisor’s Rule 206(4)-7 compliance policies and procedures, marked to show changes along with a written summary of the purpose of each such change); Annual Proxy Voting Questionnaires; Annual Best Execution and Soft Dollar Questionnaires, and responses to all other requests from the Manager. The Sub-Advisor agrees to make available for the Manager’s review all deficiency letters issued by the SEC together with all responses given by Sub-Advisor to such letters. The Sub-Advisor will advise the Manager of any material changes in the Sub-Advisor’s ownership within a reasonable time after any such change. (n) Vote proxies received on behalf of each Series (with respect to the portion thereof allocated to the Sub-Advisor) in a manner consistent with the Sub-Advisor’s proxy voting policies and procedures and provide a record of votes cast containing all of the voting information required by Form N-PX in an electronic format to enable the Series to file Form N-PX as required by SEC rule. (o) Respond to tender offers, rights offerings and other voluntary corporate action requests affecting securities held by each Series (with respect to the portion thereof allocated to the Sub-Advisor) and complete and file notices of claims in connection with class action lawsuits concerning securities owned by the Fund (with respect to the portion of each Series thereof allocated to the Sub-Advisor). (p) Cooperate with the Manager in its performance of quarterly and annual tax compliance tests to monitor the Series’ compliance with Subchapter M of the Code and Section 817(h) of the Code. If it is determined by the Manager or its tax advisors that the Series is not in compliance with the requirements imposed by the Code, the Sub-Advisor, in consultation with the Manager and its tax advisors, will take prompt action to bring the Series back into compliance with the time permitted under the Code.
