assets of the Portfolio, and that the Adviser has the right to allocate and
reallocate such assets to the Portfolio Account at any time, and from time to
time, upon such notice to the Sub-Adviser as may be reasonably necessary, in the

authorized to effect individual securities transactions at commission rates in
excess of the minimum commission rates available, if the Sub-Adviser 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 Sub-Adviser's
overall responsibilities with respect to the Company and other accounts as to
which the Sub-Adviser exercises investment discretion. The execution of such
transactions shall not be deemed to represent an unlawful act or breach of any
