### CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS
Approval or Ratification of Related Party Transactions

The company has adopted a written policy pursuant to which all employees, directors and certain other related parties (as defined in Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K) who have a direct or indirect interest in a transaction or agreement in which the company is a participant (regardless of the dollar amount involved in the transaction or whether the transaction must be disclosed publicly by the company, but excluding routine employee/employer transactions such as compensation or participation in any of the company’s benefits plans) must promptly disclose the facts and circumstances of that transaction or agreement to the company’s general counsel. The general counsel will promptly communicate all such information to management and the Audit Committee. Management, in consultation with the Audit Committee, will then determine whether the transaction may be consummated or permitted to continue.

If such transaction or agreement constitutes a “related party transaction” as defined in Item 404(a), then such transaction may not be consummated or continue without the approval or ratification of the Audit Committee or another approving body composed of disinterested and independent members of the Board or any committee of the Board; provided that a majority of the members of the Audit Committee or such approving body is disinterested and independent. Members of the Audit Committee who are interested parties in any related party transaction and/or who are not independent must recuse themselves from any such vote. For purposes thereof, a “related party transaction” is any transaction (i) that is reportable by the company under Item 404(a), (ii) in which the company was or will be a participant, (iii) in which the amount involved exceeds $120,000 and (iv) in which any related party had or will have a direct or indirect material interest.

Transactions or other arrangements between the company and its clients, including registered investment companies for which the company serves as investment adviser, do not need to be approved or ratified. In addition, investment management or other financial services (such as those involving investments in the company’s funds, investment vehicles or separate accounts) provided either by or to the company and involving a director or
