Common use of Access to Shareholder List Clause in Contracts

Access to Shareholder List. An alphabetical list of the names, addresses and telephone numbers of the Shareholders of the Trust, along with the number of shares of stock held by each of them (the “Shareholder List”), shall be maintained as part of the books and records of the Trust and shall be available for inspection by any Shareholder or the Shareholder’s designated agent at the principal place of business of the Trust upon the request of the Shareholder. The Shareholder List shall be updated at least quarterly to reflect changes in the information contained therein. A copy of the Shareholder List shall be mailed to any Shareholder so requesting within ten days of receipt by the Trust of the request. The copy of the Shareholder List shall be printed in alphabetical order, on white paper, and in a readily readable type size (in no event smaller than 10-point type). The Trust may impose a reasonable charge for expenses incurred in reproduction pursuant to the Shareholder request. The purposes for which a Shareholder may request a copy of the Shareholder List include, without limitation, matters relating to Shareholders’ voting rights, and the exercise of Shareholder rights under federal proxy laws. If the Advisor or the Board of Trustees neglects or refuses to exhibit, produce or mail a copy of the Shareholder List as requested, the Advisor and/or the Board of Trustees, as the case may be, shall be liable to any Shareholder requesting the Shareholder List for the costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, incurred by that Shareholder for compelling the production of the Shareholder List, and for actual damages suffered by any Shareholder by reason of such refusal or neglect. It shall be a defense that the actual purpose and reason for the requests for inspection or for a copy of the Shareholder List is to secure the Shareholder List or other information for the purpose of selling the Shareholder List or copies thereof, or of using the same for a commercial purpose, other than in the interest of the applicant as a Shareholder relative to the affairs of the Trust. The Trust may require the Shareholder requesting the Shareholder List to represent that the Shareholder List is not requested for a commercial purpose unrelated to the Shareholder’s interest in the Company. The remedies provided hereunder to Shareholders requesting copies of the Shareholder List are in addition to, and shall not in any way limit, other remedies available to Shareholder s under federal law, or the laws of any state.
