No Solicitation of Transactions (a) The Company agrees that neither it nor any Subsidiary nor any of the directors, officers or employees of it or any Subsidiary will, and that it will cause its and its Subsidiaries’ agents, advisors and other representatives (including, without limitation, any investment banker, attorney or accountant retained by it or any Subsidiary) not to, directly or indirectly, (i) solicit, initiate or encourage (including by way of furnishing nonpublic information), or take any other action to facilitate, any inquiries or the making of any proposal or offer (including, without limitation, any proposal or offer to its stockholders) that constitutes, or may reasonably be expected to lead to, any Competing Transaction, (ii) enter into or maintain or continue discussions or negotiations with any Person in furtherance of such inquiries or to obtain a proposal or offer for a Competing Transaction, (iii) agree to, approve or endorse any Competing Transaction or enter into any letter of intent or other Contract relating to any Competing Transaction or (iv) authorize or permit any of the officers, directors or employees of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or any investment banker, financial advisor, attorney, accountant or other representative retained by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, to take any such action. The Company shall notify CIG and the NBCU Entities as promptly as practicable (and in any event within one (1) Business Day after the Company attains knowledge thereof), orally and in writing, if any proposal or offer, or any inquiry or contact with any Person with respect thereto, regarding a Competing Transaction is made, specifying the material terms and conditions thereof and the identity of the party making such proposal or offer or inquiry or contact (including material amendments or proposed material amendments). The Company shall, and shall direct or cause its and its Subsidiaries’ directors, officers, employees, agents, advisors and other representatives (including, without limitation, any investment banker, attorney or accountant retained by it or any Subsidiary) to, immediately cease and cause to be terminated any discussions or negotiations with any Person that may have been conducted heretofore with respect to a Competing Transaction. The Company shall not release any Person from, or waive any provision of, any confidentiality or standstill agreement to which it is a party and the Company also agrees to promptly request each Person that has heretofore executed a confidentiality agreement in connection with its consideration of acquiring (whether by merger, acquisition of stock or assets or otherwise) the Company or any Subsidiary, if any, to return (or if permitted by the applicable confidentiality agreement, destroy) all confidential information heretofore furnished to such Person by or on behalf of the Company or any Subsidiary.
(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 10.05, prior to the Exchange Offer Closing or the Exchange Offer Expiration, as applicable, the Board may furnish information to, and enter into discussions with, a Person who has made an unsolicited, written, bona fide proposal or offer regarding a Competing Transaction, and the Board has (i) determined, in its good faith judgment (after consultation with its financial advisor), that such proposal or offer constitutes or is reasonably likely to constitute a Superior Proposal, (ii) determined, in its good faith judgment after consultation with outside legal counsel (who may be the Company’s regularly engaged outside legal counsel), that, in light of such Superior Proposal, the furnishing of such information or entering into discussions is required to comply with its fiduciary obligations to the Company and its stockholders under applicable Law, (iii) provided written notice to CIG and the NBCU Entities of its intent to furnish information or enter into discussions with such Person and (iv) obtained from such Person an executed confidentiality agreement (it being understood that such confidentiality agreement and any related agreements shall not include any provision calling for any exclusive right to negotiate with such party or having the effect of prohibiting the Company from satisfying its obligations under the Transaction Agreements to which it is a party).
(c) Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, neither the Board nor any committee thereof shall withdraw or modify, or propose to withdraw or modify, in a manner adverse to CIG and the NBCU Entities, the approval or recommendation by the Board or any such committee of the Transaction Agreements to which the Company is a party and the Transaction, including the Tender Offer and the Reverse Stock Split, or approve or recommend, or cause or permit the Company to enter into any letter of intent, agreement or obligation with respect to, any Competing Transaction.
(d) The parties acknowledge and agree that nothing contained herein shall affect or in any way interfere with the Company’s Obligation to comply with Rule 14d-9 under the Exchange Act.
Consummation of Transactions Each party shall use all ---------------------------- commercially reasonable efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions, and to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper or advisable and consistent with applicable Law to carry out all of its respective obligations under this Agreement and to consummate the Transactions, which efforts shall include, without limitation, the following:
(1) The parties shall use all commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Closing to occur and the Transactions to be consummated in accordance with the terms hereof, and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, to obtain all necessary Consents including, without limitation, the approval of this Agreement and the Transactions by all Governmental Authorities and agencies, including the FCC, applicable to the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement or the consummation of the Transactions, and to make all filings with and to give all notices to third parties which may be necessary or reasonably required in order for the parties to consummate the Transactions.
(2) Each party shall furnish to the other parties all information concerning such party and its Affiliates reasonably required for inclusion in any application or filing to be made by the Company or any other party in connection with the Transactions or otherwise to determine compliance with applicable FCC Law.
(3) Upon the request of any other party, each party shall forthwith execute and deliver, or cause to be executed and delivered, such further instruments of assignment, transfer, conveyance, endorsement, direction or authorization and other documents as may reasonably be requested by such party in order to effectuate the purposes of this Agreement. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to require the parties to consummate the Closing if any regulatory approval would require that it (i) divest or hold separate any of its assets existing as of the date hereof other than as contemplated by this Agreement or (ii) otherwise take or commit to take any action that limits its freedom of action in any material respect with respect to any of its businesses, product lines or assets.
Consummation of Transaction Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees to use its best efforts to cause all conditions precedent to his or its obligations (and to the obligations of the other parties hereto to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby) to be satisfied, including, but not limited to, using all reasonable efforts to obtain all required (if so required by this Agreement) consents, waivers, amendments, modifications, approvals, authorizations, novations and licenses; provided, however, that nothing herein contained shall be deemed to modify any of the absolute obligations imposed upon any of the parties hereto under this Agreement or any agreement executed and delivered pursuant hereto.
Execution of Transactions (a) In executing transactions for the Assets, selecting brokers or dealers and negotiating any brokerage commission rates, the Sub-Adviser will use its best efforts to seek best execution. In assessing best execution available for any portfolio transaction, the Sub-Adviser will consider all factors it deems relevant including, but not limited to, the breadth of the market in the security, the price of the security, the financial condition and execution capability of the broker or dealer and the reasonableness of any commission for the specific transaction and for transactions executed through the broker or dealer in the aggregate. In selecting brokers or dealers to execute a particular transaction and in evaluating the best overall terms available, to the extent that the execution and price offered by more than one broker or dealer are comparable the Sub-Adviser may consider any brokerage and research services (as those terms are defined in Section 28(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) provided to the Sub-Adviser or to CSAM for use on behalf of the Fund or other clients of the Sub-Adviser or CSAM.
(b) It is understood that the services of the Sub-Adviser are not exclusive, and nothing in this Agreement shall prevent the Sub-Adviser from providing similar services to other investment companies or from engaging in other activities, provided that those activities do not adversely affect the ability of the Sub-Adviser to perform its services under this Agreement. The Fund and CSAM further understand and acknowledge that the persons employed by the Sub-Adviser to assist in the performance of its duties under this Agreement will not devote their full time to that service. Nothing contained in this Agreement will be deemed to limit or restrict the right of the Sub-Adviser or any affiliate of the Sub-Adviser to engage in and devote time and attention to other businesses or to render services of whatever kind or nature, provided that doing so does not adversely affect the ability of the Sub-Adviser to perform its services under this Agreement.
(c) On occasions when the Sub-Adviser deems the purchase or sale of a security to be in the best interest of the Fund as well as of other investment advisory clients of the Sub-Adviser, the Sub-Adviser may, to the extent permitted by applicable laws and regulations, but shall not be obligated to, aggregate the securities to be so sold or purchased with those of its other clients. In such event, allocation of the securities so purchased or sold, as well as the expenses incurred in the transaction, will be made by the Sub-Adviser in a manner that is fair and equitable, in the judgment of the Sub-Adviser, in the exercise of its fiduciary obligations to the Fund and to such other clients. The Fund recognizes that the effect of the aggregation may operate on some occasions to the Fund's advantage or disadvantage. The Sub-Adviser shall provide to CSAM and the Fund all information reasonably requested by CSAM and the Fund relating to the decisions made by the Sub-Adviser regarding allocation of securities purchased or sold, as well as the expenses incurred in a transaction, among the Fund and the Sub-Adviser's other investment advisory clients.
(d) In connection with the purchase and sale of securities for the Fund, the Sub-Adviser will provide such information as may be reasonably necessary to enable the custodian and co-administrators to perform their administrative and recordkeeping responsibilities with respect to the Fund.
Limitation of Transactions So long as any Capital Securities remain outstanding, if (a) there shall have occurred and be continuing an Event of Default or a Declaration Event of Default or (b) the Guarantor shall have selected an Extension Period as provided in the Declaration and such period, or any extension thereof, shall have commenced and be continuing, then the Guarantor shall not and shall not permit any Affiliate to (x) declare or pay any dividends or distributions on, or redeem, purchase, acquire, or make a liquidation payment with respect to, any of the Guarantor’s or such Affiliate’s capital stock (other than payments of dividends or distributions to the Guarantor) or make any guarantee payments with respect to the foregoing or (y) make any payment of principal of or interest or premium, if any, on or repay, repurchase or redeem any debt securities of the Guarantor or any Affiliate that rank pari passu in all respects with or junior in interest to the Debentures (other than, with respect to clauses (x) and (y) above, (i) repurchases, redemptions or other acquisitions of shares of capital stock of the Guarantor in connection with any employment contract, benefit plan or other similar arrangement with or for the benefit of one or more employees, officers, directors or consultants, in connection with a dividend reinvestment or stockholder stock purchase plan or in connection with the issuance of capital stock of the Guarantor (or securities convertible into or exercisable for such capital stock) as consideration in an acquisition transaction entered into prior to the occurrence of the Event of Default, Declaration Event of Default or Extension Period, as applicable, (ii) as a result of any exchange or conversion of any class or series of the Guarantor’s capital stock (or any capital stock of a subsidiary of the Guarantor) for any class or series of the Guarantor’s capital stock or of any class or series of the Guarantor’s indebtedness for any class or series of the Guarantor’s capital stock, (iii) the purchase of fractional interests in shares of the Guarantor’s capital stock pursuant to the conversion or exchange provisions of such capital stock or the security being converted or exchanged, (iv) any declaration of a dividend in connection with any stockholders’ rights plan, or the issuance of rights, stock or other property under any stockholders’ rights plan, or the redemption or repurchase of rights pursuant thereto, (v) any dividend in the form of stock, warrants, options or other rights where the dividend stock or the stock issuable upon exercise of such warrants, options or other rights is the same stock as that on which the dividend is being paid or ranks pari passu with or junior to such stock and any cash payments in lieu of fractional shares issued in connection therewith, or (vi) payments under this Guarantee).
