Distributors The Manager shall make or cause to be made such arrangements as are expedient for the distribution of Units, having regard to the requirements of Applicable Laws and applicable stock exchange rules and regulations respecting such distribution of Units in the jurisdiction or jurisdictions in which they are to be distributed. It is understood and agreed that: (i) the Manager or the Investment Manager may distribute Units itself in the offering jurisdictions in which it is registered, or is exempt from such registration, under applicable Securities Legislation; and (ii) the Manager will retain the services of the Underwriters pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement to assist it in the distribution of the Units in the offering jurisdictions.
SELECTED DEALERS You may enter into selected dealer agreements, on such terms and conditions as you determine are not inconsistent with this Agreement, with broker-dealers to act as your agent to effect the sale of the Shares. Such selected broker-dealers shall sell Shares only at market prices subject to a minimum price to be established each day by you and the Fund (see paragraph 3 below). This Agreement shall not be construed as authorizing any dealer or other person to accept orders for sale on our behalf or to otherwise act as our agent for any purpose. You shall not be responsible for the acts of other dealers or agents except as and to the extent that they shall be acting for you or under your direction or authority.
Selection of Brokers and Dealers To the extent permitted by the policy guidelines set forth in the Fund's current registration statement, in the selection of brokers and dealers to execute portfolio transactions, the Subadviser is authorized to consider not only the available prices and rates of brokerage commissions, but also other relevant factors, which may include, without limitation: the execution capabilities of the brokers and dealers; the research, custody, and other services provided by the brokers and dealers that the Subadviser believes will enhance the Subadviser's general portfolio management capabilities; the size of the transaction; the difficulty of execution; the operational facilities of these brokers and dealers; the risk to this broker or dealer of positioning a block of securities; and the overall quality of brokerage and research services provided by these brokers and dealers. In connection with the foregoing, the Subadviser is specifically authorized to pay those brokers and dealers who provide brokerage and research services to the Subadviser, a higher commission than that charged by other brokers and dealers if the Subadviser determines in good faith that the amount of the commission is reasonable in relation to the value of these services in terms of either the particular transaction or in terms of the Subadviser's overall responsibilities with respect to the Portfolio Segment and to any other client accounts or portfolios that the Subadviser advises. The execution of these transactions shall not be considered to represent an unlawful breach of any duty created by this Agreement or otherwise.
Distributor The Distributor represents and warrants that: (i) the Distributor is a limited partnership duly organized and in good standing under New York law; (ii) the Distributor is registered as a broker-dealer under federal and applicable state securities laws and is a member of the NASD; and (iii) the Distributor is registered as an investment adviser under federal securities laws.
Subdistributors Subject to the provisions of this Section 2.2, Nipro --------------- may appoint one or more third parties, with a reputation for competence and ethical behavior, within any portion of the Territory to distribute the FreeStyle Products in the Field of Use. Within twenty (20) days after the appointment of such Subdistributor, Nipro shall notify TheraSense of the identity of such Subdistributor. Nipro shall not sell or otherwise transfer the FreeStyle Products to any Subdistributor until such Subdistributor enters into a form of written agreement ("Subdistributor Agreement") with Nipro, binding the Subdistributor to terms and conditions substantially similar to those terms and conditions agreed upon by Nipro in this Agreement. Further, Nipro shall only grant Subdistributors the right to make sales of the FreeStyle Products in the Territory in the Field of Use. Nipro agrees to terminate a Subdistributor's right to distribute the FreeStyle Products promptly upon becoming aware that such Subdistributor, or its authorized distributor(s) or reseller(s), is selling or otherwise distributing the FreeStyle Products in violation of its Subdistributor Agreement. Each Subdistributor Agreement shall contain provisions making TheraSense a direct and intended third party beneficiary of such Subdistributor Agreement.
Relationship Among Underwriters and Selected Dealers We shall have full authority to take such actions as we deem advisable in all matters pertaining to any Offering under this Master SDA. You are not authorized to act as an agent for us, any Underwriter or the Issuer or other Seller of any Securities in offering Securities to the public or otherwise. Neither we nor any Underwriter will be under any obligation to you except for obligations assumed hereby or in any Wire from us in connection with any Offering, and no obligations on our part as the Manager will be implied hereby or inferred herefrom. Nothing contained in this Master SDA or any Wire shall constitute the Selected Dealers an association or partners with us or any Underwriter or with one another, and the obligations of you and each of the other Selected Dealers or any of the Underwriters are several and not joint. If the Selected Dealers, among themselves, with us or with the Underwriters, should be deemed to constitute a partnership for federal income tax purposes, then you elect to be excluded from the application of Subchapter K, Chapter 1, Subtitle A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 and agree not to take any position inconsistent with such election. You authorize the Manager, in its discretion, to execute on your behalf such evidence of such election as may be required by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service. In connection with any Offering, you will be liable for your proportionate share of the amount of any tax, claim, demand or liability that may be asserted against you alone or against one or more Selected Dealers participating in such Offering, or against us or the Underwriters, based upon the claim that the Selected Dealers, or any of them, constitute an association, an unincorporated business or other entity, including, in each case, your proportionate share of the amount of any expense (including attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred in defending against any such tax, claim, demand or liability.
Sub-Distributors MMLD may enter into sub-distributor’s agreements with persons (“Sub-Distributors”) pursuant to which MMLD delegates any or all of its functions hereunder to one or more Sub-Distributors provided that a majority of the Trust’s Board of Directors that are not interested persons of the Trust or MMLD approve the agreement. MMLD shall pay all compensation of any such Sub-Distributors and will have the right to terminate the services of any Sub-Distributor at any time on no more than 60 days’ notice.
Use of Securities Brokers and Dealers In placing purchase and sale orders for the Fund with brokers or dealers, the Sub-Advisor will attempt to obtain “best execution” of such orders. “Best execution” shall mean prompt and reliable execution at the most favorable terms of execution, taking into account price, speed and efficiency of execution, other factors that may be deemed relevant by the Sub-Advisor, and the other provisions hereinafter set forth. Whenever the Sub-Advisor places orders, or directs the placement of orders, for the purchase or sale of portfolio securities on behalf of the Fund, in selecting brokers or dealers to execute such orders, the Sub-Advisor is expressly authorized to consider the fact that a broker or dealer has furnished statistical, research or other information or services that enhance the Sub-Advisor’s research and portfolio management capability generally. It is further understood in accordance with Section 28(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, that the Sub-Advisor may negotiate with and assign to a broker a commission that may exceed the commission that another broker would have charged for effecting the transaction if the Sub-Advisor determines in good faith that the amount of commission charged was reasonable in relation to the value of brokerage and/or research services (as defined in Section 28(e)) provided by such broker, viewed in terms either of the Fund’s or the Sub-Advisor’s overall responsibilities to the Sub-Advisor’s discretionary accounts (the “Section 28(e) Actions”); provided, however, that Sub-Advisor’s ability to engage in Section 28(e) Actions shall be subject to review by the Trustees from time to time, and if such Trustees reasonably determine that the Fund does not benefit, directly or indirectly, from such Section 28(e) Actions, the Sub-Advisor shall be prohibited from engaging in the same. Unless otherwise directed by the Trust or the Advisor in writing, the Sub-Advisor may utilize the service of whatever securities brokerage firm or firms it deems appropriate to the extent that such firms are competitive with respect to price of services and execution, and so long as the Sub-Advisor complies with the “best execution” practices described above and applicable law and regulation.
