Interpretation In this Agreement:
Term and Termination In any case, if not sooner terminated, this Agreement shall expire at the close of business on the effective date that the Offering is terminated. This Agreement may be terminated by either party (a) immediately upon notice to the other party in the event that the other party shall have materially failed to comply with any material provision of this Agreement or if any of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements of such party contained herein shall not have been materially complied with and such failure to comply is not cured within ten (10) days after the date of such occurrence or (b) on 60 days’ written notice. In any event, this Agreement shall be deemed suspended during any period for which the Dealer Manager’s license or registration to act as a broker dealer shall be revoked or suspended by any federal, self-regulatory or state agency. In addition, the Dealer Manager, upon the expiration or termination of this Agreement, shall (a) promptly deposit any and all funds in its possession which were received from investors for the sale of Shares into the appropriate escrow account or, if the Minimum Offering has been reached, into such other account as the Company may designate; and (b) promptly deliver to the Company all records and documents in its possession which relate to the Offering which are not designated as dealer copies. The Dealer Manager, at its sole expense, may make and retain copies of all such records and documents required to be retained by the Dealer Manager pursuant to (i) Federal and state securities laws and the rules and regulations thereunder, (ii) the applicable rules of FINRA and (iii) the NASAA REIT Guidelines, but shall keep all such information confidential; provided, that, nothing contained in this Agreement shall prevent the Dealer Manager from disclosing any such information to any regulatory authority asserting jurisdiction over the Dealer Manager. The Dealer Manager shall use its reasonable best efforts to cooperate with the Company to accomplish any orderly transfer of management of the Offering to a party designated by the Company. Upon expiration or termination of this Agreement, the Company shall pay to the Dealer Manager all earned but unpaid compensation and reimbursement for all incurred, accountable compensation to which the Dealer Manager is or becomes entitled under Section 5 of this Agreement, including but not limited to any Distribution Fees, pursuant to the requirements of that Section 5 at such times as such amounts become payable pursuant to the terms of such Section 5 without acceleration; provided, however, that if the Minimum Offering is not reached prior to such expiration or termination, the Company shall not pay any such compensation and reimbursements to the Dealer Manager.
Dispute Resolution All or any disputes arising out or touching upon or in relation to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, including the interpretation and validity of the terms thereof and the respective rights and obligations of the Parties, shall be settled amicably by mutual discussion, failing which the same shall be settled through the adjudicating officer appointed under the Act.
Amendments This Agreement may not be amended, modified or waived as to any particular provision, except by a written instrument executed by all parties hereto.
Compensation The Depositor shall receive at the times set forth in Sections 3.05, 3.18, 3.23 and 4.03 as compensation for performing portfolio supervisory services, bookkeeping and administrative expenses and evaluation services, such amount and for such periods as specified the Prospectus and/or Reference Trust Agreement. The compensation for providing portfolio supervisory services, bookkeeping and administrative expenses and evaluation services shall be made on the basis of the largest number of units outstanding at any time during the period for which such compensation is being computed. At no time, however, will the total amount received by the Depositor for services rendered to all series of Guggenheim Defined Portfolios in any calendar year exceed the aggregate cost to them of supplying such services in such year. Such rate may be increased by the Trustee from time to time, without the consent or approval of any Unitholder, or the Depositor, by amounts not exceeding the proportionate increase during the period from the date of such Prospectus and/or Reference Trust Agreement to the date of any such increase, in consumer prices as published either under the classification "All Services Less Rent" in the Consumer Price Index published by the United States Department of Labor or, IF such Index is no longer published, a similar index. In the event that any amount of the compensation paid to the Depositor pursuant to Sections 3.05, 3.18 and 3.23 and 4.03 is found to be an improper charge against a Trust, the Depositor shall reimburse the Trust in such amount. An improper charge shall be established if a final judgment or order for reimbursement of the Trust shall be rendered against the Depositor and such judgment or order shall not be effectively stayed or a final settlement is established in which the Depositor agrees to reimburse the Trust for amounts paid to the Depositor pursuant to this Section 7.05.
