per Share The Fund is advised that the Underwriters intend (i) to make a public offering of their respective portions of the Firm Shares as soon after the effective date of the Registration Statement as is advisable and (ii) initially to offer the Firm Shares upon the terms set forth in the Prospectus. The Underwriters may from time to time increase or decrease the public offering price after the initial public offering to such extent as they may determine. In addition, the Fund hereby grants to the several Underwriters the option to purchase, and upon the basis of the warranties and representations and subject to the terms and conditions herein set forth, the Underwriters shall have the right to purchase, severally and not jointly, from the Fund, ratably in accordance with the number of Firm Shares to be purchased by each of them, all or a portion of the Additional Shares as may be necessary to cover over-allotments made in connection with the offering of the Firm Shares, at the same purchase price per Share to be paid by the Underwriters to the Fund for the Firm Shares. This option may be exercised by the Representatives on behalf of the several Underwriters at any time and from time to time on or before the forty-fifth day following the date hereof, by written notice to the Fund. Such notice shall set forth the aggregate number of Additional Shares as to which the option is being exercised, and the date and time when the Additional Shares are to be delivered (such date and time being herein referred to as the "Additional Time of Purchase"); provided, however, that the Additional Time of Purchase shall not be earlier than the Time of Purchase (as defined below) nor earlier than the second business day after the date on which the option shall have been exercised. The number of Additional Shares to be sold to each Underwriter shall be the number which bears the same proportion to the aggregate number of Additional Shares being purchased as the number of Firm Shares set forth opposite the name of such Underwriter on Schedule A hereto bears to the total number of Firm Shares (subject, in each case, to such adjustment as the Representatives may determine to eliminate fractional shares).
Class A Units If a Warrantholder exercises Warrants in connection with a tender offer for settlement prior to the First Regular Call Date, each Class A Unit called in connection with such exercise shall receive, in addition to principal and accrued interest, $1.50 per Class A Unit from the proceeds of the Warrant exercise. Class B Payments: If a Warrantholder exercises Warrants, then the Class B Units designated to be called in connection with such exercise shall receive the corresponding portion of the Class B Present Value Amount, adjusted for accrued Class B Payments on the Class B Units otherwise paid. If the Underlying Security Issuer redeems Underlying Securities and the previous paragraph does not apply, then the Class B Units designated for a redemption in connection with such redemption of Underlying Securities shall receive the amount with respect to the Class B Present Value Amount allocated for distribution in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Distribution Priorities below, paid as of the date of such redemption as an additional distribution.
Original Class A Percentage Section 11.05 Original Principal Balances of the Classes of Class A Certificates.....................................................
Class B Shares (i) In consideration of the Underwriter’s services as principal underwriter of each Fund’s Class B shares pursuant to this Agreement and in accordance with the provisions of the Trust’s Second Amended and Restated Distribution and Service Plan (the “Plan”) in respect of such shares, each Fund agrees: (I) to pay to the Underwriter or, at the Underwriter’s direction, to a third party, monthly in arrears on or prior to the 5th business day of the following calendar month (A) a service fee (the “Service Fee”) equal to 0.25 of 1% per annum of the average daily net asset value of the Class B shares of such Fund outstanding from time to time, and (B) the Underwriter’s “Allocable Portion” (as hereinafter defined) of a fee (the “Distribution Fee”) equal to 0.75 of 1% per annum of the average daily net asset value of the Class B shares of such Fund outstanding from time to time, and (II) to withhold from redemption proceeds in respect of Class B shares of such Fund the Underwriter’s Allocable Portion of the Contingent Deferred Sales Charges (“CDSCs”) payable in respect of such redemption as provided in the current Prospectus of such Fund and to pay the same over to the Underwriter or, at the Underwriter’s direction, to a third party, at the time the redemption proceeds in respect of such redemption are payable to the holder of the Class B shares redeemed. (ii) The Underwriter will be deemed to have performed all services required to be performed in order to be entitled to receive its Allocable Portion of the Distribution Fee payable in respect of the Class B shares of the Funds upon the settlement date of each sale of a “Commission Share” (as defined in the Allocation Schedule attached hereto as Schedule B) of the Funds taken into account in determining the Underwriter’s Allocable Portion of such Distribution Fees. (iii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement or (to the extent waiver thereof is permitted thereby) applicable law, each Fund’s obligation to pay the Underwriter’s Allocable Portion of the Distribution Fees payable in respect to the Class B shares of the Funds shall not be terminated or modified for any reason (including a termination of this Agreement) except: (a) to the extent required by a change in the 1940 Act, the rules thereunder or the Conduct Rules of FINRA, in each case enacted or promulgated after Xxxxx 00, 0000, (x) on a basis which does not alter the Underwriter’s Allocable Portion of the Distribution Fees computed with reference to Commission Shares the Date of Original Issuance (as defined in the Allocation Schedule) of which occurs on or prior to the adoption of such termination or modification and with respect to Free Shares (as defined in the Allocation Schedule) which would be attributed to such Underwriter under the Allocation Schedule with reference, or (c) in connection with a “Complete Termination” (as hereinafter defined) of the Plan. (iv) The Funds will not take any action to waive or change any CDSC in respect of the Class B shares, except as provided in each Fund’s current Prospectus or statement of additional information forming a part of that Fund’s initial Registration Statement on the date such Fund’s initial Registration Statement was declared effective by the SEC, without the consent of the Underwriter and the permitted assigns of all or any portion of its rights to its Allocable Portion of the CDSCs. (v) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, neither the termination of the Underwriter’s role as principal distributor of the Class B shares of a Fund, nor the termination of this Agreement with respect to a Fund, nor the termination of the Plan with respect to a Fund will terminate the Underwriter’s right to its Allocable Portion of the CDSCs in respect of the Class B shares of each Fund. (vi) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Underwriter may assign, sell or pledge (collectively, “Transfer”) its rights to the Service Fees and its Allocable Portion of the Distribution Fees and CDSCs (but not its obligations to the Funds under this Agreement) to raise funds to make the expenditures related to the distribution of Class B shares of a Fund and in connection therewith, upon receipt of notice of such Transfer, a Fund shall pay, or cause to be paid, to the assignee, purchaser or pledgee (collectively with their subsequent transferees, “Transferees”) such portion of the Underwriter’s Service Fees, Allocable Portion of the Distribution Fees and CDSCs in respect of the Class B shares of a Fund so Transferred. Except as provided in (iii) above and notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth elsewhere in this Agreement, to the extent the Underwriter has Transferred its rights thereto to raise funds as aforesaid, a Fund’s obligation to pay the Underwriter’s Allocable Portion of the Distribution Fees and CDSCs payable in respect of the Class B shares of a Fund shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be subject to dispute, offset, counterclaim or any defense whatsoever, at law or equity, including, without limitation, any of the foregoing based on the insolvency or bankruptcy of the Underwriter (it being understood that such provision is not a waiver of the Funds’ right to pursue the Underwriter and enforce claims against the assets of the Underwriter other than the Underwriter’s right to the Distribution Fees and CDSCs in respect of the Class B shares of each Fund, which have been so transferred in connection with such Transfer). The Funds agree that each such Transferee is a third party beneficiary of the provisions of this clause (vi) but only insofar as those provisions relate to Distribution Fees and CDSCs transferred to such Transferee. (vii) For purposes of the Agreement, the term “Allocable Portion” of Distribution Fees and CDSCs payable in respect of the Class B shares of a Fund shall mean the portion of such Distribution Fees and CDSCs allocated to the Underwriter. (viii) For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Complete Termination” of the Plan in respect of a Fund means a termination of the Plan involving the complete cessation of the payment of Distribution Fees in respect of all Class B shares of the Funds, and the termination of the Plan and the complete cessation of the payment of distribution fees pursuant to any other distribution Plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act in respect of the Class B shares of the Funds and any successor fund or the Funds acquiring a substantial portion of the assets of the Funds and for every future class of shares which has substantially similar characteristics to the Class B shares of the Funds taking into account the manner of payment and amount of sales charge, CDSC or other similar charges borne directly or indirectly by the holders of such shares; provided that (a) the Trustees of the Trust, including the Independent Trustees of the Trust, shall have determined that such termination is in the best interest of the Funds and the shareholders of the Funds, and (b) such termination does not alter the CDSC as in effect at the time of such termination applicable to Commission Shares of the Funds, the Date of Original Issuance (as defined in the Allocation Schedule) of which occurs on or prior to such termination. (ix) The Underwriter may reallow any or all of the Distribution and Service Fees and CDSCs which it is paid under the Agreement to such dealers as the Underwriter may from time to time determine. (x) The Underwriter may fix quantity discounts and other similar variances or waivers of the CDSCs not inconsistent with the provisions of the 1940 Act; provided however, that the Underwriter shall not impose any commission, permit any quantity discount, or impose any other similar waiver or variance in connection with the sale of Class B shares except as disclosed in each Fund’s current Prospectus.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no Class B Preferred Return Amount shall be due and payable with respect to such Class B Units pursuant this Section 3.02(b) at such time or times specified in this Section 3.02(b) unless such Class B Units remain issued and outstanding at such time or times and no Redemption or Direct Exchange of such Class B Units described in Article XI hereof has occurred.
