Portfolio Transactions The Manager is authorized to select the brokers or dealers that will execute the purchases and sales of portfolio securities for the Portfolio and is directed to use its best efforts to obtain the best available prices and most favorable executions, except as prescribed herein. It is understood that the Manager will not be deemed to have acted unlawfully, or to have breached a fiduciary duty to the Fund or to the Portfolio, or be in breach of any obligation owing to the Fund or to the Portfolio under this Agreement, or otherwise, solely by reason of its having caused the Portfolio to pay a member of a securities exchange, a broker, or a dealer a commission for effecting a securities transaction for the Portfolio in excess of the amount of commission another member of an exchange, broker, or dealer would have charged if the Manager determines 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 Manager’s overall responsibilities with respect to its accounts, including the Fund, as to which it exercises investment discretion. The Manager will promptly communicate to the officers and directors of the Fund such information relating to transactions for the Portfolio as they may reasonably request.
Approved Acquisitions Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, upon the consummation of any merger or other acquisition transaction of the type described in clause (A), (B) or (C) of Section 13.1 involving the Company pursuant to a merger or other acquisition agreement between the Company and any Person (or one or more of such Person’s Affiliates or Associates) which agreement has been approved by the Board prior to any Person becoming an Acquiring Person, this Agreement and the rights of holders of Rights hereunder shall be terminated in accordance with Section 7.1.
Permitted Acquisition Prior to consummation of a Permitted Acquisition, the Borrower shall have delivered to Lender complete and correct copies of each document and agreement executed in connection therewith (collectively, the “Permitted Acquisition Documents”), including all schedules and exhibits thereto. The Permitted Acquisition Documents shall set forth the entire agreement and understanding of the Borrower and the parties thereto relating to the subject matter thereof, and there will be no other agreements, arrangements or understandings, written or oral, relating to the matters covered thereby. Borrower shall have the power, and shall have taken all necessary action (including, any necessary member or comparable owner action) to authorize it, to execute, deliver and perform in accordance with their respective terms the Permitted Acquisition Documents to which it is a party. Each of the Permitted Acquisition Documents will have been duly executed and delivered by Borrower and, to Borrower’s knowledge, each of the other parties thereto and will be the legal, valid and binding obligation of Borrower and to Borrower’s knowledge, such other parties, enforceable against Borrower and to Borrower’s knowledge, such other parties in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally. The execution, delivery and performance of the Permitted Acquisition Documents in accordance with their respective terms will not require any governmental approval or any other consent or approval, other than governmental approvals and other consents and approvals that have been obtained. All conditions precedent to the Permitted Acquisition pursuant to the Permitted Acquisition Documents shall have been fulfilled in all material respects and, as of the date of the consummation of the Permitted Acquisition, the Permitted Acquisition Documents shall not have been amended or otherwise modified and there shall not be any breach by the Borrower or, to Borrower’s knowledge, any other party thereto, of any term or condition of the Permitted Acquisition Documents. Upon consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Permitted Acquisition Documents to be consummated at the closing thereunder, the Borrower shall acquire good and legal title to the stock or assets and other property being transferred pursuant to the Permitted Acquisition Documents. None of the foregoing shall in any manner obligate the Borrower or any Subsidiary to consummate any Permitted Acquisition and the foregoing representation shall only apply if, when and to the extent that a Permitted Acquisition is consummated and the Permitted Acquisition Documents are executed and delivered.”
Executing Portfolio Transactions The Subadviser will place orders pursuant to its investment determinations for each Portfolio either directly with the issuer or through other brokers. In the selection of brokers and the placement of orders for the purchase and sale of portfolio investments for the Portfolios, the Subadviser shall use its best efforts to obtain for the Portfolios the most favorable price and execution available, except to the extent it may be permitted to pay higher brokerage commissions for brokerage and research services as described below. In using its best efforts to obtain the most favorable price and execution available, the Subadviser, bearing in mind the Trust’s best interests at all times, shall consider all factors it deems relevant, including by way of illustration, price, the size of the transaction, the nature of the market for the security, the amount of the commission, the timing of the transaction taking into account market prices and trends, the reputation, experience and financial stability of the broker involved and the quality of service rendered by the broker in other transactions. Subject to such policies as the Board of Trustees may determine, the Subadviser shall not be deemed to have acted unlawfully or to have breached any duty created by this Agreement or otherwise solely by reason of its having caused a Portfolio to pay a broker that provides brokerage and research services to the Subadviser an amount of commission for effecting a portfolio investment transaction in excess of the amount of commission another broker would have charged for effecting that transaction if the Subadviser determines in good faith that such amount of commission was reasonable in relation to the value of the brokerage and research services provided by such broker, viewed in terms of either that particular transaction or the Subadviser’s overall responsibilities with respect to the Trust and to other clients of the Subadviser as to which the Subadviser exercises investment discretion. In no instance will portfolio securities of any Portfolio be purchased from or sold to the Subadviser or any affiliated person of the Subadviser. The Trust agrees that any entity or person associated with the Manager or the Subadviser which is a member of a national securities exchange is authorized to effect any transaction on such exchange for the account of the Trust which is permitted by Section 11(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Rule 11a2-2(T) thereunder, and the Trust has consented to the retention of compensation for such transactions in accordance with Rule 11a2-2(T)(a)(2)(iv).
Transaction Financing The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions, and do, or cause to be done, and to assist and cooperate with the other parties in doing, all things necessary, proper or advisable to obtain a commitment letter (the “Transaction Financing Commitment Letter”), from a reputable financial institution to provide financing for the Merger and the transactions contemplated hereby on commercially reasonable terms and conditions.
