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.
Course of Dealing No course of dealing, nor any failure to exercise, nor any delay in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof.
No Course of Dealing No single or partial exercise of any right or remedy will preclude any other or further exercise of any right or remedy.

If any Representative or Affiliate of any Seller Guarantor, any Seller or the Company, whether in his or her capacity as such or in any other capacity, takes any action that the Seller Guarantors or the Sellers are obligated pursuant to this Section 6.1 to cause such Representative or Affiliate not to take, then the Seller Guarantors and the Sellers shall be deemed for all purposes of this Agreement to have breached this Section 6.1.

DUTIES OF DEALER a. Dealer agrees to purchase Shares only from Distributor or from Dealer's customers. b. Dealer agrees to enter orders for the purchase of Shares only from Distributor and only for the purpose of covering purchase orders Dealer has already received from its customers or for Dealer's own bona fide investment. c. Dealer agrees to date and time stamp all orders received by Dealer and promptly, upon receipt of any and all orders, to transmit to Distributor all orders received prior to the time described in the Prospectus for the calculation of each Fund's net asset value so as to permit Distributor to process all orders at the price next determined after receipt by Dealer, in accordance with the Prospectus. Dealer agrees not to withhold placing orders for Shares with Distributor so as to profit itself as a result of such inaction. d. Dealer agrees to maintain records of all purchases and sales of Shares made through Dealer and to furnish Distributor or regulatory authorities with copies of such records upon request. In that regard, Dealer agrees that, unless Dealer holds Shares as nominee for its customers or participates in the NSCC Fund/Serv Networking program, at certain matrix levels, it will provide Distributor with all necessary information to comply properly with all federal, state and local reporting requirements and backup and nonresident alien withholding requirements for its customer accounts including, without limitation, those requirements that apply by treating Shares issued by the Funds as readily tradable instruments. Dealer represents and agrees that all Taxpayer Identification Numbers ("TINs") provided are certified, and that no account that requires a certified TIN will be established without such certified TIN. With respect to all other accounts, including Shares held by Dealer in omnibus accounts and Shares purchased or sold through the NSCC Fund/Serv Networking program, at certain matrix levels, Dealer agrees to perform all federal, state and local tax reporting with respect to such accounts, including without limitation redemptions and exchanges. e. Dealer agrees to distribute or cause to be delivered to its customers Prospectuses, proxy solicitation materials and related information and proxy cards, semi-annual and annual shareholder reports and any other materials in compliance with applicable legal requirements, except to the extent that Distributor expressly undertakes to do so in writing. f. Dealer agrees that if any Share is repurchased by any Fund or is tendered for redemption within seven (7) business days after confirmation by Distributor of the original purchase order from Dealer, Dealer shall forfeit its right to any concession or commission received by Dealer with respect to such Share and shall forthwith refund to Distributor the full concession allowed to Dealer or commission paid to Dealer on the original sale. Distributor agrees to notify Dealer of such repurchase or redemption within a reasonable time after settlement. Termination or cancellation of this Agreement shall not relieve Dealer from its obligation under this provision. g. Dealer agrees that payment for Shares ordered from Distributor shall be in Fed Funds, New York clearinghouse or other immediately available funds and that such funds shall be received by Distributor by the earlier of: (i) the end of the third (3rd) business day following Dealer's receipt of the customer's order to purchase such Shares; or (ii) the settlement date established in accordance with Rule 15c6-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. If such payment is not received by Distributor by such date, Dealer shall forfeit its right to any concession or commission with respect to such order, and Distributor reserves the right, without notice, forthwith to cancel the sale, or, at its option, to sell the Shares ordered back to the Fund, in which case Distributor may hold Dealer responsible for any loss, including loss of profit, suffered by Distributor resulting from Dealer's failure to make payment as aforesaid. If a purchase is made by check, the purchase is deemed made upon conversion of the purchase instrument into Fed Funds, New York clearinghouse or other immediately available funds. h. Dealer agrees that it: (i) shall assume responsibility for any loss to the Fund caused by a correction to any order placed by Dealer that is made subsequent to the trade date for the order, provided such order correction was not based on any negligence on Distributor's part; and (ii) will immediately pay such loss to the Fund upon notification. i. Dealer agrees that in connection with orders for the purchase of Shares on behalf of any IRAs, 401(k) plans or other retirement plan accounts, by mail, telephone, or wire, Dealer shall act as agent for the custodian or trustee of such plans (solely with respect to the time of receipt of the application and payments), and Dealer shall not place such an order with Distributor until it has received from its customer payment for such purchase and, if such purchase represents the first contribution to such a retirement plan account, the completed documents necessary to establish the retirement plan. Dealer agrees to indemnify Distributor and its affiliates for any claim, loss, or liability resulting from incorrect investment instructions received by Distributor from Dealer. j. Dealer agrees that it will not make any conditional orders for the purchase or redemption of Shares and acknowledges that Distributor will not accept conditional orders for Shares. k. Dealer agrees that all out-of-pocket expenses incurred by it in connection with its activities under this Agreement will be borne by Dealer. l. Dealer agrees that it will keep in force appropriate broker's blanket bond insurance policies covering any and all acts of Dealer's partners, directors, officers, employees, and agents adequate to reasonably protect and indemnify the Distributor and the Funds against any loss which any party may suffer or incur, directly or indirectly, as a result of any action by Dealer or Dealer's partners, directors, officers, employees, and agents. m. Dealer agrees that it will maintain the required net capital as specified by the rules and regulations of the SEC, NASD and other regulatory authorities.
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.
Trustee Dealings with Company The Trustee, in its individual or any other capacity, may make loans to, accept deposits from, and perform services for the Company or its Affiliates, and may otherwise deal with the Company or its Affiliates, as if it were not the Trustee.
Nonexclusive Dealings This Agreement does not prevent either Party from providing or purchasing services to or from any other person nor, except as provided in Section 252(i) of the Act, does it obligate either Party to provide or purchase any services (except insofar as the Parties are obligated to provide access to Interconnection, services and Network Elements to <<customer_name>> as a requesting carrier under the Act).
