Fixed Income Funds This document is an attachment to the Participant Agreement with respect to the procedures to be used by (i) the Distributor and the Transfer Agent in processing an order for the creation of Shares, (ii) the Distributor and the Transfer Agent in processing a request for the redemption of Shares and (iii) the Participant and the Transfer Agent in delivering or arranging for the delivery of requisite cash payments, Portfolio Deposits or Shares, as the case may be, in connection with the submission of orders for creation or requests for redemption. The Participant is first required to have signed the Participant Agreement. Upon acceptance of the Participant Agreement by the Distributor and the Transfer Agent, the Transfer Agent will assign a PIN Number to each Authorized Person authorized to act for the Participant. This will allow the Participant through its Authorized Person(s) to place an order with respect to Shares.
Investment of Contributions At the direction of the Depositor (or the direction of the beneficiary upon the Depositor's death), the Custodian shall invest all contributions to the account and earnings thereon in investments acceptable to the Custodian, which may include marketable securities traded on a recognized exchange or "over the counter" (excluding any securities issued by the Custodian), covered call options, certificates of deposit, and other investments to which the Custodian consents, in such amounts as are specifically selected and specified by the Depositor in orders to the Custodian in such form as may be acceptable to the Custodian, without any duty to diversify and without regard to whether such property is authorized by the laws of any jurisdiction as a trust investment. The Custodian shall be responsible for the execution of such orders and for maintaining adequate records thereof. However, if any such orders are not received as required, or, if received, are unclear in the opinion of the Custodian, all or a portion of the contribution may be held uninvested without liability for loss of income or appreciation, and without liability for interest pending receipt of such orders or clarification, or the contribution may be returned. The Custodian may, but need not, establish programs under which cash deposits in excess of a minimum set by it will be periodically and automatically invested in interest-bearing investment funds. The Custodian shall have no duty other than to follow the written investment directions of the Depositor, and shall be under no duty to question said instructions and shall not be liable for any investment losses sustained by the Depositor.
REGISTERED RETIREMENT SAVINGS PLAN 1. In this Article:
Distributions; Investments Directly or indirectly acquire or own any Person, or make any Investment in any Person, other than Permitted Investments, or permit any of its Subsidiaries to do so. Pay any dividends or make any distribution or payment or redeem, retire or purchase any capital stock.
Investment Management Fee For services provided under subparagraph (b) of paragraph 1 of this Agreement, the Advisor agrees to pay the Sub-Advisor a monthly Investment Management Fee. The Investment Management Fee shall be equal to: (i) 50% of the monthly management fee rate (including performance adjustments, if any) that the Portfolio is obligated to pay the Advisor under its Management Contract with the Advisor, multiplied by: (ii) the fraction equal to the net assets of the Portfolio as to which the Sub-Advisor shall have provided investment management services divided by the net assets of the Portfolio for that month. If in any fiscal year the aggregate expenses of the Portfolio exceed any applicable expense limitation imposed by any state or federal securities laws or regulations, and the Advisor waives all or a portion of its management fee or reimburses the Portfolio for expenses to the extent required to satisfy such limitation, the Investment Management Fee paid to the Sub-Advisor will be reduced by 50% of the amount of such waivers or reimbursements multiplied by the fraction determined in (ii). If the Sub-Advisor reduces its fees to reflect such waivers or reimbursements and the Advisor subsequently recovers all or any portion of such waivers and reimbursements, then the Sub-Advisor shall be entitled to receive from the Advisor a proportionate share of the amount recovered. To the extent that waivers and reimbursements by the Advisor required by such limitations are in excess of the Advisor's management fee, the Investment Management Fee paid to the Sub-Advisor will be reduced to zero for that month, but in no event shall the Sub-Advisor be required to reimburse the Advisor for all or a portion of such excess reimbursements.
Multiple Individual Retirement Accounts In the event the depositor maintains more than one Individual Retirement Account (as defined in Section 408(a)) and elects to satisfy his or her minimum distribution requirements described in Article IV above by making a distribution from another individual retirement account in accordance with Item 6 thereof, the depositor shall be deemed to have elected to calculate the amount of his or her minimum distribution under this custodial account in the same manner as under the Individual Retirement Account from which the distribution is made.
Limited Distributions of Income from Trust Account (a) Upon written request from the Company, which may be given from time to time in a form substantially similar to that attached hereto as Exhibit C, the Trustee shall distribute to the Company the amount of interest income earned on the Trust Account requested by the Company to cover any income or other tax obligation owed by the Company.
(b) The limited distributions referred to in Section 2(a) above shall be made only from income collected on the Property. Except as provided in Section 2(a), no other distributions from the Trust Account shall be permitted except in accordance with Section 1(i) hereof.
(c) The Company shall provide Ladenburg with a copy of any Termination Letters and/or any other correspondence that it issues to the Trustee with respect to any proposed withdrawal from the Trust Account promptly after such issuance.
The Investment Account; Eligible Investments (a) Not later than the Withdrawal Date, the Master Servicer shall withdraw or direct the withdrawal of funds in the Custodial Accounts for P&I, for deposit in the Investment Account, in an amount representing:
(i) Scheduled installments of principal and interest on the Mortgage Loans received or advanced by the applicable Servicers which were due on the related Due Date, net of the Servicing Fees due the applicable Servicers and less any amounts to be withdrawn later by the applicable Servicers from the applicable Buydown Fund Accounts;
(ii) Payoffs and the proceeds of other types of liquidations of the Mortgage Loans received by the applicable Servicer for such Mortgage Loans during the applicable Payoff Period, with interest to the date of Payoff or liquidation less any amounts to be withdrawn later by the applicable Servicers from the applicable Buydown Fund Accounts; and
(iii) Curtailments received by the applicable Servicers in the Prior Period. At its option, the Master Servicer may invest funds withdrawn from the Custodial Accounts for P&I, as well as any Buydown Funds, Insurance Proceeds and Liquidation Proceeds previously received by the Master Servicer (including amounts paid by the Company in respect of any Purchase Obligation or its substitution obligations set forth in Section 2.07 or Section 2.08 or in connection with the exercise of the option to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.01) for its own account and at its own risk, during any period prior to their deposit in the Certificate Account. Such funds, as well as any funds which were withdrawn from the Custodial Accounts for P&I on or before the Withdrawal Date, but not yet deposited into the Certificate Account, shall immediately be deposited by the Master Servicer with the Investment Depository in an Investment Account in the name of the Master Servicer and the Trust for investment only as set forth in this Section 3.03. The Master Servicer shall bear any and all losses incurred on any investments made with such funds and shall be entitled to retain all gains realized on such investments as additional servicing compensation. Not later than the Business Day prior to the Distribution Date, the Master Servicer shall deposit such funds, net of any gains (except Payoff Earnings) earned thereon, in the Certificate Account.
(b) Funds held in the Investment Account shall be invested in (i) one or more Eligible Investments which shall in no event mature later than the Business Day prior to the related Distribution Date (except if such Eligible Investments are obligations of the Trustee, such Eligible Investments may mature on the Distribution Date), or (ii) such other instruments as shall be required to maintain the Ratings.
Investment of the Exchange Fund The Exchange Agent shall invest any cash included in the Exchange Fund as directed by Parent on a daily basis. Any interest and other income resulting from such investments shall promptly be paid to Parent.
Contributions to Capital (a) The minimum initial Capital Contribution of each Limited Partner will be $100,000 or such other amount as the General Partner determines from time to time. The amount of the initial Capital Contribution of each Partner will be recorded by the Partnership upon acceptance as a contribution to the capital of the Partnership. Each Limited Partner’s entire initial Capital Contribution will be paid to the Partnership immediately prior to the Partnership’s acceptance of the Limited Partner’s subscription for Units, unless otherwise agreed by the Partnership and such Limited Partner.
(b) The Limited Partners may make additional Capital Contributions effective as of those times and in amounts as the General Partner may permit, but no Limited Partner will be obligated to make any additional Capital Contribution except to the extent provided in Sections 5.4 and 5.5 of this Agreement. Each additional Capital Contribution made by a Limited Partner (other than a contribution made pursuant to Section 5.3 or Section 5.5 of this Agreement) will be in the minimum amount of $25,000 or such other amount as the General Partner determines from time to time.
(c) A General Partner may make additional Capital Contributions effective as of those times and in such amounts as it determines, and will be required to make additional Capital Contributions from time to time to the extent necessary to maintain the balance of its Capital Account at an amount, if any, necessary to ensure that the Partnership will be treated as a Partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Except as provided in this Section 5.1 or in the Delaware Act, no General Partner will be required or obligated to make any additional contributions to the capital of the Partnership.
(d) Subject to the provisions of the 1940 Act, and except as otherwise permitted by the General Partner, (1) initial and any additional Capital Contributions by any Partner will be payable in cash or in Securities that the General Partner, in its absolute discretion, causes the Partnership to accept, and (2) initial and any additional Capital Contributions in cash will be payable in readily available funds at the date of the proposed acceptance of the contribution. The Partnership will charge each Partner making a Capital Contribution in Securities to the capital of the Partnership an amount as may be determined by the General Partner to reimburse the Partnership for any costs incurred by the Partnership by reason of accepting the Securities, and any charge will be due and payable by the contributing Partner in full at the time the Capital Contribution to which the charges relate is due. The value of contributed Securities will be determined in accordance with Section 7.3 of this Agreement as of the date of contribution.
(e) An Advisor may make Capital Contributions and own Units in the Partnership and, in so doing, will become a Limited Partner with respect to the contributions.
(f) The minimum initial and additional contributions set out in paragraphs (a) and (b) of this Section 5.1 may be increased or reduced by the General Partner from time to time. Reductions may be applied to all investors, individual investors or to classes of investors, in each case in the sole discretion of the General Partner.
