SELF-DEALING Unless entered into in bad faith, no contract or transaction between the Company and one or more of its Members, officers, or employees, or between the Company and any other entity or organization in which one or more of its Members, officers, or employees have a financial interest or are owners, managers, partners, directors, officers, or employees, shall be voidable solely for this reason or solely because such Member, officer, or employee was present or participated in the authorization of such contract or transaction. No Member, officer, or employee interested in such contract or transaction, because of such interest, shall be considered to be in breach of this Agreement or liable to the Company or any other Person for any loss or expense incurred by reason of such contract or transaction or shall be accountable for any gain or profit realized from such contract or transaction. While not required, approval or ratification by a majority of the Members having no interest in the transaction constitutes conclusive evidence that such transaction is permitted under this section.

During the Pre-Closing Period, the Company shall keep Acquiror fully informed of the status and details of, and any modification to, any such inquiry, expression of interest, proposal or offer and any correspondence or communications related thereto and shall provide to Acquiror a true, correct and complete copy of such inquiry, expression of interest, proposal or offer and any amendments, correspondence and communications related thereto, if it is in writing, or a reasonable written summary thereof, if it is not in writing (except to the extent any of such information is deemed confidential under a confidentiality or non-disclosure agreement that is already in place as of the Agreement Date, in which case such notice will disclose the existence of such inquiry, offer, proposal, indication of interest or request and any of such information contained therein that is non-confidential).
Exclusive Dealings For so long as this Agreement remains in ------------------ effect, neither Seller nor any person acting on Seller's behalf shall, directly or indirectly, solicit or initiate any offer from, or conduct any negotiations with, any person or entity concerning the acquisition of all or any interest in any of the Purchased Assets or the Stations, other than Buyer or Buyer's permitted assignees.
Selection of Brokers and Dealers To the extent permitted by the policy guidelines set out in each Fund’s current Prospectus or SAI, in connection with the selection of brokers and dealers to execute portfolio transactions, in seeking the best overall terms available, the Adviser 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 Adviser believes will enhance its general portfolio management capabilities; the size of the transaction; the difficulty of execution; the operational facilities of these brokers and dealers; the risk to a broker or dealer of positioning a block of securities; and the overall quality of brokerage and research services provided by the brokers and dealers. In connection with the foregoing, the Adviser is specifically authorized to pay those brokers and dealers who provide brokerage and research services to the Trust a higher commission than that charged by other brokers and dealers if the Adviser determines in good faith that the amount of the commission is reasonable in relation to the value of the brokerage and research services provided. The Trust acknowledges that any such research may be useful in connection with other accounts managed by the Adviser. The execution of such transactions will not be considered to represent an unlawful breach of any duty created by this Agreement or otherwise.
