Portfolio Transactions The Manager is authorized to select the brokers or dealers that will execute the purchases and sales of portfolio securities for the Portfolio and is directed to use its best efforts to obtain the best available prices and most favorable executions, except as prescribed herein. It is understood that the Manager will not be deemed to have acted unlawfully, or to have breached a fiduciary duty to the Fund or to the Portfolio, or be in breach of any obligation owing to the Fund or to the Portfolio under this Agreement, or otherwise, solely by reason of its having caused the Portfolio to pay a member of a securities exchange, a broker, or a dealer a commission for effecting a securities transaction for the Portfolio in excess of the amount of commission another member of an exchange, broker, or dealer would have charged if the Manager determines in good faith that the commission paid was reasonable in relation to the brokerage or research services provided by such member, broker, or dealer, viewed in terms of that particular transaction or the Manager’s overall responsibilities with respect to its accounts, including the Fund, as to which it exercises investment discretion. The Manager will promptly communicate to the officers and directors of the Fund such information relating to transactions for the Portfolio as they may reasonably request.
Alternative Transactions (a) Between the Original Signing Date and the Closing Date, except for the issuance of shares of Common Stock issuable as of the Original Signing Date as set forth in Schedule 3.1(g) and the Securities being issued pursuant to this Agreement, the Company shall not (i) issue or agree to issue any additional shares of Common Stock or other securities which provide the holder thereof the right to convert such securities into shares of Common Stock or (ii) directly or indirectly, by act or omission, solicit, pursue, agree to, engage in or become subject to any recapitalization, reorganization or capital-raising transaction other than the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents.
(b) If, prior to Closing, the Company takes any action that would, if the Warrant were outstanding at such time, result in an adjustment to the Shares issuable upon the exercise of the Warrant or the exercise price thereof, then, at the Purchaser’s option which may be exercised in the Purchaser’s sole discretion, the Company shall make appropriate adjustments with respect to the Securities to be issued to the Purchasers under this Agreement such that the Purchasers shall receive the benefit of such adjustments under the Warrant as if the provisions of the Warrant applied thereto mutatis mutandis and such Securities had been outstanding as of the date of such action in a manner that provides the Purchasers with substantially the same economic benefit from this Agreement as the Purchasers had prior to the applicable transaction.
(c) In the event this Agreement is terminated by the Purchaser pursuant to Sections 6.16(a)(iv), (vi) or (vii) and, within 12 months of the date of such termination the Company or any of its Subsidiaries engages in or becomes subject to, or enters into an agreement to engage in or become subject to, any alternate recapitalization, reorganization or capital-raising transaction, then the Purchasers shall have the right to participate in such transaction on terms no less favorable to the Purchasers than as provided for in this Agreement (and in any event no less favorable to the Purchasers than provided to any other participant in such alternate transaction), and the Company shall take all actions reasonably requested by the Purchasers in order to allow the Purchasers to fully exercise such right and participate in such transaction.
(d) Prior to Closing, notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Company shall not directly or indirectly effect, agree to effect or cause to be effected any transaction with a third party that would reasonably be expected to result in a Change in Control unless such third party shall have provided prior assurance in writing to the Purchasers (in a form that is reasonably satisfactory to the Purchasers) that the terms of this Agreement shall be fully performed (i) by the Company or (ii) by such third party if it is the successor of the Company or if the Company is its direct or indirect subsidiary. For the avoidance of doubt, it is understood and agreed that, in the event that a Change in Control occurs on or prior to the Closing, the Purchasers shall maintain the right under this Agreement to acquire, pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Securities (or such shares of stock or other securities or property (including cash) into which the Securities may have become exchangeable as a result of such Change in Control), as if the Closing had occurred immediately prior to such Change in Control. As used herein, “Change in Control” shall be deemed to occur if (i) there occurs a change in control of the Company of the nature that would be required to be reported in response to item 6(e) of Schedule 14A of Regulation 14A or Item 5.01 of Form 8-K promulgated under the 1934 Act (or if neither item remains in effect, any regulations issued pursuant to the 1934 Act which serve similar purposes); (ii) any “Person” (as such term is used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d)(2) of the ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇) is or becomes a beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of Company Securities representing 50% percent or more of the total voting power of the Company’s then outstanding shares of capital stock; (iii) the Company shall have merged into, consolidated with or effected an amalgamation with another company, or merged another company into the Company, on a basis whereby less than 50% of the total voting power of the surviving company is represented by shares held by former shareholders of the Company prior to such merger, consolidation or amalgamation; or (iv) the Company shall have sold, transferred, pledged or exchanged all, or substantially all, of its assets to another Person.
