Selection of Broker-Dealers. The Sub-Adviser shall select the brokers and dealers through whom transactions on behalf of the Portfolio will be executed and the markets on or in which such transactions will be executed and shall place, in the name of the Portfolio or its nominee (or appropriate foreign equivalent), all such orders. In selecting brokers and dealers to execute such transactions, and in negotiating brokerage commissions, and in obtaining research, statistical and other information from brokers and dealers in connection with Portfolio transactions, the Sub-Adviser shall comply with the description of the process contained in the Prospectus. In selecting brokers or dealers to execute a particular transaction and in evaluating the best terms available with respect to such transaction under the circumstances, so long as the Sub-Adviser endeavors to obtain best execution, the Sub-Adviser is authorized to consider the brokerage and research services (within the meaning of Section 28(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) (the "34 Act") provided to the Sub-Adviser.
4.1. It is understood that certain other clients (including other funds, portfolios and accounts) of the Sub-Adviser may have investment objectives and policies similar to those of the Portfolio and that the Sub-Adviser may, from time to time, make recommendations that result in the purchase (or sale) of a particular security by its other clients and the Portfolio during the same period of time. In connection with its management of the Portfolio and consistent with its obligations to the Portfolio and such other clients, the Sub-Adviser, to the extent permitted by applicable laws and regulations, may, but shall be under no obligation to, aggregate the securities or investments to be sold or purchased in order to obtain the most favorable price or lower brokerage commissions and efficient execution. If transactions on behalf of more than one client during the same period increase the demand for securities being purchased or the supply of securities being sold, there may be an adverse effect on price or quantity. In such event, the Sub-Adviser shall allocate the securities or investments to be purchased or sold, as well as the expenses incurred in the transactions (including price) in a manner the Sub-Adviser considers equitable and consistent with its obligations to the Portfolio and the Sub-Adviser's other clients.
