Portfolio Securities Portfolio securities of the Issuer may be bought or sold by or through Distributors, and Distributors may participate directly or indirectly in brokerage commissions or "spreads" for transactions in portfolio securities of the Issuer.
Directors, Trustees and Shareholders and Massachusetts Business Trust It is understood and is expressly stipulated that neither the holders of shares in the Fund nor any Directors or Trustees of the Fund shall be personally liable hereunder. With respect to any Fund which is a party to this Agreement and which is organized as a Massachusetts business trust (“Trust”), the term “Fund” means and refers to the trust established by its applicable trust agreement (Declaration of Trust) as the same may be amended from time to time. It is expressly agreed that the obligations of any such Trust hereunder shall not be binding upon any of the trustees, shareholders, nominees, officers, agents or employees of the Trust, personally, but bind only the trust property of the Trust, as provided in the Declaration of Trust of the Trust. The execution and delivery of this Agreement has been authorized by the trustees and signed by an authorized officer of the Trust, acting as such, and neither such authorization by such Trustees nor such execution and delivery by such officer shall be deemed to have been made by any of them, but shall bind only the trust property of the Trust as provided in its Declaration of Trust.
Investment Management Trust Agreement The Company has entered into the Trust Agreement with respect to certain proceeds of the Offering and the Private Placement substantially in the form filed as an exhibit to the Registration Statement.
Real Estate Investment Trust Commencing with its taxable year ended December 31, 2009, the Company has been organized and operated in conformity with the requirements for qualification and taxation as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) under the Code, and its proposed method of operation will enable it to continue to meet the requirements for qualification and taxation as a REIT under the Code.
Shareholder Servicing All expenses of maintaining and servicing shareholder accounts, including but not limited to the charges of any shareholder servicing agent, dividend disbursing agent, transfer agent or other agent engaged by the Trust to service shareholder accounts.
Expenses of the Selling Stockholders The Selling Stockholders, jointly and severally, will pay all expenses incident to the performance of their respective obligations under, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated by, this Agreement, including (i) any stamp and other duties and stock and other transfer taxes, if any, payable upon the sale of the Securities to the Underwriters and their transfer between the Underwriters pursuant to an agreement between such Underwriters, and (ii) the fees and disbursements of their respective counsel and other advisors.
Priority on Secondary Registrations If a Piggyback Registration is an underwritten secondary registration on behalf of holders of the Company's securities other than the Holders of Registrable Securities, and the managing underwriter advises the Company in writing that in their opinion the number of securities requested to be included in such registration exceeds the number which can be sold in an orderly manner in such offering within a price range acceptable to the holders initially requesting such registration, the Company shall include in such registration (i) first, the securities requested to be included therein by the holders requesting such registration, (ii) second, the Registrable Securities requested to be included in such registration, to the extent that the number of shares to be registered will not, in the opinion of the managing underwriter, adversely affect the offering of the securities pursuant to clause (i), pro rata among the Holders of such securities on the basis of the number of shares so requested to be included therein owned by each such Holder, and (iii) third, other securities requested to be included in such registration.
Allocation of Registrable Securities The initial number of Registrable Securities included in any Registration Statement and any increase in the number of Registrable Securities included therein shall be allocated pro rata among the Investors based on the number of Registrable Securities held by each Investor at the time such Registration Statement covering such initial number of Registrable Securities or increase thereof is declared effective by the SEC. In the event that an Investor sells or otherwise transfers any of such Investor’s Registrable Securities, each transferee or assignee (as the case may be) that becomes an Investor shall be allocated a pro rata portion of the then-remaining number of Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement for such transferor or assignee (as the case may be). Any shares of Common Stock included in a Registration Statement and which remain allocated to any Person which ceases to hold any Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement shall be allocated to the remaining Investors, pro rata based on the number of Registrable Securities then held by such Investors which are covered by such Registration Statement.
Defaulting Initial Purchasers If, on the Closing Date, any Initial Purchaser defaults in the performance of its obligations under this Agreement, the non-defaulting Initial Purchasers shall be obligated to purchase the Notes that such defaulting Initial Purchaser or Initial Purchasers agreed but failed to purchase on the Closing Date (the “Remaining Notes”) in the respective proportions that the principal amount of the Notes set opposite the name of each non-defaulting Initial Purchaser in Schedule I hereto bears to the total number of the Notes set opposite the names of all the non-defaulting Initial Purchasers in Schedule I hereto; provided, however, that the non-defaulting Initial Purchasers shall not be obligated to purchase any of the Notes on the Closing Date if the total amount of Notes which the defaulting Initial Purchaser or Initial Purchasers agreed but failed to purchase on such date exceeds 10% of the total amount of Notes to be purchased on the Closing Date, and no non-defaulting Initial Purchaser shall be obligated to purchase more than 110% of the amount of Notes that it agreed to purchase on the Closing Date pursuant to this Agreement. If the foregoing maximums are exceeded, the non-defaulting Initial Purchasers, or those other purchasers satisfactory to the Initial Purchasers and the Company who so agree, shall have the right, but not the obligation, to purchase, in such proportion as may be agreed upon among them, all the Remaining Notes. If the non-defaulting Initial Purchasers or other Initial Purchasers satisfactory to the Initial Purchasers do not elect to purchase the Remaining Notes, this Agreement shall terminate without liability on the part of any non-defaulting Initial Purchaser or the Company, except that the Company will continue to be liable for the payment of expenses to the extent set forth herein. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall relieve a defaulting Initial Purchaser of any liability it may have to the Company for damages caused by its default. If other purchasers are obligated or agree to purchase the Notes of a defaulting or withdrawing Initial Purchaser, the Company or the Representative may postpone the Closing Date for up to five full business days in order to effect any changes in the Transaction Documents or in any other document or arrangement that, in the opinion of counsel for the Company or Counsel for the Initial Purchasers, may be necessary.
Investors During the Escrow Period, Investors will be instructed by the Dealer Manager or any Soliciting Dealers to remit the purchase price in the form of checks payable to the order of, or funds wired in favor of, “UMB Bank, N.A., as escrow agent for Resource Apartment REIT III, Inc.” Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, Pennsylvania Investors, Washington Investors and New York Investors shall continue to make checks payable to the order of “UMB Bank, N.A., as escrow agent for Resource Apartment REIT III, Inc.” until, respectively, the Pennsylvania Minimum Offering, the Washington Minimum Offering or the New York Minimum Offering is raised. Any checks made payable to a party other than the Escrow Agent shall be returned to the Dealer Manager or Soliciting Dealer that submitted the check. By 12:00 p.m. (EST) of the next business day following the receipt of instruments of payment from the Offering, the Company or the Dealer Manager, as applicable, shall furnish the Escrow Agent with a list of the Investors who have paid for the Securities showing the name, address, tax identification number, the amount of Securities subscribed for purchase, the amount paid and whether such Investors are Pennsylvania Investors, Washington Investors or New York Investors. The information comprising the identity of Investors shall be provided to the Escrow Agent in substantially the format set forth in the list of Investors attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “List of Investors”). The Escrow Agent shall be entitled to conclusively rely upon the List of Investors in determining whether Investors are Pennsylvania Investors, Washington Investors or New York Investors and shall have no duty to independently determine or verify the same. When a Soliciting Dealer’s internal supervisory procedures are conducted at the site at which the subscription agreement and the check for the purchase of Securities were initially received by Soliciting Dealer from the subscriber, such Soliciting Dealer shall transmit the subscription agreement and such check to the Escrow Agent by the end of the next business day following receipt of the check for the purchase of Securities and subscription agreement. When, pursuant to such Soliciting Dealer’s internal supervisory procedures, such Soliciting Dealer’s final internal supervisory procedures are conducted at a different location (the “Final Review Office”), such Soliciting Dealer shall transmit the check for the purchase of Securities and subscription agreement to the Final Review Office by the end of the next business day following Soliciting Dealer’s receipt of the subscription agreement and the check for the purchase of Securities. The Final Review Office will, by the end of the next business day following its receipt of the subscription agreement and the check for the purchase of Securities, forward both the subscription agreement and such check to the Escrow Agent. If any subscription agreement solicited by a Soliciting Dealer is rejected by the Dealer Manager or the Company, then the subscription agreement and check for the purchase of Securities will be returned to the rejected subscriber within ten (10) business days from the date of rejection. All Investor Funds deposited in the Escrow Account shall not be subject to any liens or charges by the Company or the Escrow Agent, or judgments or creditors’ claims against the Company, until and unless released to the Company as hereinafter provided. The Company understands and agrees that the Company shall not be entitled to any Investor Funds on deposit in the Escrow Account and no such funds shall become the property of the Company, or any other entity except as released to the Company pursuant to Sections 3, 4, 5 or 6 hereto. The Escrow Agent will not use the information provided to it by the Company for any purpose other than to fulfill its obligations as Escrow Agent hereunder. The Company and the Escrow Agent will treat all Investor information as confidential. The Escrow Agent shall not be required to accept any Investor Funds which are not accompanied by the information on the List of Investors.
