Distributor shall sell Shares only in accordance with the Fund's Prospectus, on a "best efforts" basis.

(c) The Distributor (or its affiliates) shall pay the costs of printing and supplying all copies of the Prospectus and SAI that it may reasonably request for use in connection with the distribution of Shares. The Distributor will also pay the expenses of the preparation, excluding legal fees, and printing of all amendments and supplements to the Fund's Prospectus and SAI if the amendment or supplement arises from Distributor's activities or rules and regulations related to Distributor's activities and those expenses would not otherwise have been incurred by the Fund. Distributor will pay all expenses incurred by Distributor in advertising, promoting and selling Fund Shares.
(d) Prior to the continuous offering of any Fund Shares, commencing on a date agreed upon by the Fund and the Distributor, it is contemplated that the Distributor may solicit subscriptions for such Shares during a subscription period which shall last for such period as may be agreed upon by the parties hereto. The subscriptions will be payable within three business days after the termination of the subscription period, at which time the Fund will commence operations.
Certain Distributions If the Company elects to:
(I) distribute, to all or substantially all holders of Common Stock, any rights, options or warrants (other than rights issued pursuant to a stockholder rights plan prior to separation of such rights from the Common Stock) entitling them, for a period of not more than 60 calendar days after the date such distribution is announced, to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at a price per share that is less than the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices per share of Common Stock for the ten consecutive Trading Days ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately before the date such distribution is announced (determined in the manner set forth in the third paragraph of Section 5.05(A)(ii)); or
(II) distribute, to all or substantially all holders of Common Stock, assets or securities of the Company or rights to purchase the Company’s securities (other than rights issued pursuant to a stockholder rights plan prior to separation of such rights from the Common Stock), which distribution per share of Common Stock has a value, as reasonably determined by the Company in good faith, exceeding 10% of the Last Reported Sale Price per share of Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately before the date such distribution is announced, then, in either case, (x) the Company will send written notice of such distribution, and of the related right to convert Notes, to Holders, the Trustee and the Conversion Agent at least 50 Scheduled Trading Days before the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution; and (y) once the Company has sent such notice, Holders may convert their Notes at any time until the earlier of the Close of Business on the Business Day immediately before such Ex-Dividend Date and the Company’s announcement that such distribution will not take place; provided, however, that the Notes will not become convertible pursuant to clause (y) above (but the Company will be required to send notice of such distribution pursuant to clause (x) above) on account of such distribution if each Holder participates, at the same time and on the same terms as holders of Common Stock, and solely by virtue of being a Holder, in such distribution without having to convert such Holder’s Notes and as if such Holder held a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the product of (i) the Conversion Rate in effect on the record date for such distribution; and (ii) the aggregate principal amount (expressed in thousands) of Notes held by such Holder on such date; provided, further, that if the Company is then otherwise permitted to settle conversions of Notes by Physical Settlement (and, for the avoidance of doubt, the Company has not elected another Settlement Method to apply, including pursuant to Section 5.03(A)(i)), then the Company may instead elect to provide such notice at least ten Scheduled Trading Days before such Ex-Dividend Date, in which case (x) the Company must settle all conversions of Notes with a Conversion Date occurring on or after the date the Company provides such notice and on or before the Business Day immediately before the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution (or any earlier announcement by the Company that such distribution will not take place) by Physical Settlement; and (y) such notice must state that all such conversions will be settled by Physical Settlement; provided, further, that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 5.01(C)(i)(3)(a), in the case of any separation, from the Common Stock, of rights issued pursuant to a stockholder rights plan as set forth in clauses (I) and (II) above, in no event will the Company be required to provide such notice before the Business Day after the date the Company becomes aware of the event causing such separation.
Capital Stock and Ownership The Capital Stock of each of Holdings and its Subsidiaries has been duly authorized and validly issued and is fully paid and non-assessable. Except as set forth on Schedule 4.2, as of the date hereof, there is no existing option, warrant, call, right, commitment or other agreement to which Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries is a party requiring, and there is no membership interest or other Capital Stock of Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries outstanding which upon conversion or exchange would require, the issuance by Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries of any additional membership interests or other Capital Stock of Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries or other Securities convertible into, exchangeable for or evidencing the right to subscribe for or purchase, a membership interest or other Capital Stock of Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries.

Deemed Distribution and Recontribution Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article 13, in the event the Partnership is liquidated within the meaning of Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(g) but no Liquidating Event has occurred, the Partnership's property shall not be liquidated, the Partnership's liabilities shall not be paid or discharged, and the Partnership's affairs shall not be wound up. Instead, the Partnership shall be deemed to have distributed the Partnership property in kind to the General Partner and Limited Partners, who shall be deemed to have assumed and taken such property subject to all Partnership liabilities, all in accordance with their respective Capital Accounts. Immediately thereafter, the General Partner and Limited Partners shall be deemed to have recontributed the Partnership property in kind to the Partnership, which shall be deemed to have assumed and taken such property subject to all such liabilities.
Distributions to Record Holders (a) Subject to the applicable provisions of the Delaware Act and except as otherwise provided herein, the Manager may, in its sole discretion, at any time and from time to time, declare, make and pay distributions of cash or other assets of the Company to the Members. Subject to the terms of any Share Designation (including, without limitation, the preferential rights, if any, of holders of any other class of Shares of the Company) and of Article XIII, distributions shall be paid to the holders of Common Shares on an equal per-Share basis as of the Record Date selected by the Manager. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Company shall not be required to make a distribution to any Member on account of its interest in the Company if such distribution would violate the Delaware Act or other applicable law.
(b) Notwithstanding Section 4.1(a), in the event of the termination and liquidation of the Company, all distributions shall be made in accordance with, and subject to the terms and conditions of, Section 8.3(a).
(c) Each distribution in respect of any Shares of the Company shall be paid by the Company, directly or through its Transfer Agent, if any, or through any other Person or agent, only to the Record Holder of such Shares as of the Record Date set for such distribution. Such payment shall constitute full payment and satisfaction of the Company’s liability in respect of such payment, regardless of any claim of any Person who may have an interest in such payment by reason of an assignment or otherwise.
Distribution of Cash (a) Subject to Sections 5.02(c), (d) and (e), the Partnership shall distribute cash at such times and in such amounts as are determined by the General Partner in its sole and absolute discretion, to the Partners who are Partners on the Partnership Record Date with respect to such quarter (or other distribution period) in proportion with their respective Percentage Interests on the Partnership Record Date.
(b) In accordance with Section 4.04(a)(ii), the LTIP Unitholders shall be entitled to receive distributions in an amount per LTIP Unit equal to the Common Partnership Unit Distribution.
(c) If a new or existing Partner acquires additional Partnership Units in exchange for a Capital Contribution on any date other than a Partnership Record Date, the cash distribution attributable to such additional Partnership Units relating to the Partnership Record Date next following the issuance of such additional Partnership Units shall be reduced in the proportion to (i) the number of days that such additional Partnership Units are held by such Partner bears to (ii) the number of days between such Partnership Record Date and the immediately preceding Partnership Record Date.
(d) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the General Partner is authorized to take any action that it determines to be necessary or appropriate to cause the Partnership to comply with any withholding requirements established under the Code or any other federal, state or local law including, without limitation, pursuant to Sections 1441, 1442, 1445 and 1446 of the Code. To the extent that the Partnership is required to withhold and pay over to any taxing authority any amount resulting from the allocation or distribution of income to a Partner or assignee (including by reason of Section 1446 of the Code), either (i) if the actual amount to be distributed to the Partner (the “Distributable Amount”) equals or exceeds the Withheld Amount, the entire Distributable Amount shall be treated as a distribution of cash to such Partner, or (ii) if the Distributable Amount is less than the Withheld Amount, the excess of the Withheld Amount over the Distributable Amount shall be treated as a Partnership Loan from the Partnership to the Partner on the day the Partnership pays over such amount to a taxing authority. A Partnership Loan shall be repaid upon the demand of the Partnership or, alternatively, through withholding by the Partnership with respect to subsequent distributions to the applicable Partner or assignee. In the event that a Limited Partner fails to pay any amount owed to the Partnership with respect to the Partnership Loan within 15 days after demand for payment thereof is made by the Partnership on the Limited Partner, the General Partner, in its sole and absolute discretion, may elect to make the payment to the Partnership on behalf of such Defaulting Limited Partner. In such event, on the date of payment, the General Partner shall be deemed to have extended a General Partner Loan to the Defaulting Limited Partner in the amount of the payment made by the General Partner and shall succeed to all rights and remedies of the Partnership against the Defaulting Limited Partner as to that amount. Without limitation, the General Partner shall have the right to receive any distributions that otherwise would be made by the Partnership to the Defaulting Limited Partner until such time as the General Partner Loan has been paid in full, and any such distributions so received by the General Partner shall be treated as having been received by the Defaulting Limited Partner and immediately paid to the General Partner. Any amounts treated as a Partnership Loan or a General Partner Loan pursuant to this Section 5.02(d) shall bear interest at the lesser of (i) 300 basis points above the base rate on corporate loans at large United States money center commercial banks, as published from time to time in The Wall Street Journal, Eastern Edition, or (ii) the maximum lawful rate of interest on such obligation, such interest to accrue from the date the Partnership or the General Partner, as applicable, is deemed to extend the loan until such loan is repaid in full.
(e) In no event may a Partner receive a distribution of cash with respect to a Partnership Unit if such Partner is entitled to receive a cash dividend as the holder of record of a REIT Common Share for which all or part of such Partnership Unit has been or will be redeemed.
Dividends, Distributions, Etc 7.1 Lender shall be entitled to receive all distributions made on or in respect of the Loaned Securities the record dates for which occur during the term of the Loan (or the record date for which occurs at a time following return of Loaned Securities upon termination of the Loan but prior to re-registration thereof in the name of Lender or its designee in the normal course) and which are not otherwise received by Lender, to the full extent it would be so entitled if the Loaned Securities had not been lent to Borrower, including, but not limited to: (a) all property (including cash dividends and all other distributions of cash or property), (b) stock dividends and bonus issues, (c) securities received as a result of split ups of the Loaned Securities and distributions in respect thereof, (d) interest payments, (e) all rights to purchase additional securities, and (f) payments upon maturity or other redemption.
7.2 Any cash distributions made on or in respect of the Loaned Securities, which Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to Section 7.1, shall be paid by the transfer of cash (denominated in the currency of issue for the Loaned Securities, unless otherwise agreed) to Lender by Borrower on the relevant payment date therefor, in an amount equal to such cash distribution (subject to the provisions of Section 7.6), so long as Lender is not then in Default. Non-cash distributions received by Borrower shall be added to the Loaned Securities (unless otherwise agreed by the parties) and shall be considered such for all purposes, except that if the Loan has terminated, Borrower shall forthwith deliver the same to Lender.
7.3 So long as Loaned Securities have not been returned to Lender and re-registered in the name of Lender or its nominee, the parties agree that all rights arising in respect of conversions, subdivisions, consolidations, redemptions, takeovers, preemptions, options or other rights shall be for the benefit of Lender and shall be deemed to have been exercised for the benefit of Lender in accordance with Lender’s prior instructions to Borrower. Borrower will use its best efforts to seek instructions from Lender with respect to each of the foregoing at such time and in such manner as to be able to act timely in accordance with such instructions. Borrower’s obligation to remit distributions and to return Loaned Securities upon the termination of the Loan shall be made after giving full effect to such instructions, irrespective of the extent of Borrower’s compliance with such instructions.
7.4 Borrower shall be entitled to receive all cash distributions made on or in respect of non-cash Collateral the record or payment dates for which occur during the term of the Loan and which are not otherwise received by Borrower, to the full extent it would be so entitled if the Collateral had not been delivered to Lender. Any distributions made on or in respect of such Collateral which Borrower is entitled to receive hereunder shall be paid by the transfer of cash (denominated in the currency of issue of the non-cash Collateral, unless otherwise agreed) by Lender to Borrower, upon the date of Lender’s receipt, in an amount equal to such cash distribution (subject to the provision of Section 7.6), so long as Borrower is not then in Default.
7.5 Lender shall not be required to take any action pursuant to Section 7.4 to the extent that, as a result of such action, Borrower would become obligated to transfer Collateral to Lender under Section 8.
(a) If (i) Borrower is required to make a payment (a “Borrower Payment”) with respect to cash distributions on Loaned Securities under Sections 7.1 and 7.2 (“Securities Distributions”) and (ii) Borrower, Borrower’s custodian or Lender (“Payor”) shall be required by law to collect any withholding or other tax required to be deducted or withheld from such Borrower Payment (“Tax”), then Borrower shall pay such additional amounts as may be necessary in order that the net amount of the Borrower Payment received by Lender for the benefit of the Affected Account, after payment of such Tax equals the net amount of the Securities Distribution that would have been received by the Affected Account if such Securities Distribution had been paid directly to it, provided, however, that any Borrower Payment shall also take into account (and Borrower shall pay such additional amounts which reflect) the value to the Affected Account (as notified, orally or in writing, by Lender to Borrower) of any tax refund, reclaim or credit which such Affected Account would otherwise have been entitled to had it not lent the securities to Borrower but instead had retained ownership thereof.
(b) If Lender is required to make a payment (“Lender Payment”) with respect to distributions on Collateral under Section 7.4 (“Collateral Distributions”), Lender shall pay to Borrower the net amount of the Collateral Distribution which Borrower would have received had it not pledged the Collateral and such Collateral Distribution had instead been paid directly by the applicable issuer(s) to Borrower.
(c) Each party shall supply to the other such tax information as may be requested by the other to enable it to effect the Borrower Payment or Lender Payment in the required amount, computed as per the immediately preceding paragraphs of this Section 7.
Requirement and Characterization of Distributions; Distributions to Record Holders (a) Within 45 days following the end of each Quarter commencing with the Quarter ending on September 30, 2005, an amount equal to 100% of Available Cash with respect to such Quarter shall, subject to Section 17-607 of the Delaware Act, be distributed in accordance with this Article VI by the Partnership to the Partners as of the Record Date selected by the General Partner. All amounts of Available Cash distributed by the Partnership on any date from any source shall be deemed to be Operating Surplus until the sum of all amounts of Available Cash theretofore distributed by the Partnership to the Partners pursuant to Section 6.4 equals the Operating Surplus from the Closing Date through the close of the immediately preceding Quarter. Any remaining amounts of Available Cash distributed by the Partnership on such date shall, except as otherwise provided in Section 6.5, be deemed to be “Capital Surplus.” All distributions required to be made under this Agreement shall be made subject to Section 17-607 of the Delaware Act.
(b) Notwithstanding Section 6.3(a), in the event of the dissolution and liquidation of the Partnership, all receipts received during or after the Quarter in which the Liquidation Date occurs, other than from borrowings described in (a)(ii) of the definition of Available Cash, shall be applied and distributed solely in accordance with, and subject to the terms and conditions of, Section 12.4.
(c) The General Partner may treat taxes paid by the Partnership on behalf of, or amounts withheld with respect to, all or less than all of the Partners, as a distribution of Available Cash to such Partners.
(d) Each distribution in respect of a Partnership Interest shall be paid by the Partnership, directly or through the Transfer Agent or through any other Person or agent, only to the Record Holder of such Partnership Interest as of the Record Date set for such distribution. Such payment shall constitute full payment and satisfaction of the Partnership’s liability in respect of such payment, regardless of any claim of any Person who may have an interest in such payment by reason of an assignment or otherwise.
