Establishment of Series and Classes of Shares Subject to the provisions of this Section 3.6, the Trust shall consist of the Series and Classes indicated on Schedule A attached hereto (“Schedule A”), as such Schedule A may be amended from time to time. The Series and Classes indicated on Schedule A as of the date hereof are hereby established and are referred to as the “Initial Series and Classes.” The establishment of any Series or Class of Shares (other than the Initial Series and Classes) shall be effective upon the adoption by the Trustees of a resolution that sets forth the designation of, or otherwise identifies, such Series or Class, whether directly in such resolution or by reference to, or approval of, another document that sets forth the designation of, or otherwise identifies, such Series or Class including any Registration Statement, any amendment and/or restatement of this Declaration of Trust and/or Schedule A or as otherwise provided in such resolution. Upon the establishment of any Series or Class of Shares or the termination of any existing Series or Class of Shares, Schedule A shall be amended to reflect the addition or termination of such Series or Class and any officer of the Trust is hereby authorized to make such amendment; provided that the amendment of Schedule A shall not be a condition precedent to the establishment or termination of any Series or Class in accordance with this Declaration of Trust. The relative rights and preferences of each Series and each Class (including the Initial Series and Classes) shall be as set forth herein and as set forth in any Registration Statement relating thereto, unless (with respect to any Series or Class other than the Initial Series and Classes) otherwise provided in the resolution establishing such Series or Class. Any action that may be taken by the Trustees with respect to any Series or Class, including any addition, modification, division, combination, classification, reclassification, change of name or termination may be made in the same manner as the establishment of such Series or Class. Unless otherwise provided in any Registration Statement relating thereto, Shares of the Initial Series and Classes and each additional Series or Class established pursuant to this Article III (unless otherwise provided in the resolution establishing such additional Series or Class), shall have the following relative rights and preferences:
ADDITIONAL FUNDS AND CLASSES In the event that the Trust establishes one or more series of Shares or one or more classes of Shares after the effectiveness of this Agreement, such series of Shares or classes of Shares, as the case may be, shall become Funds and classes under this Agreement with necessary changes made to Appendix IV; however, either GFS or the Trust may elect not to make any such series or classes subject to this Agreement.
Partnership Interests Except as may otherwise be provided herein, each Partner’s percentage interest in the assets, profits, and distributions of the Partnership (“Partnership Interest”) shall be as set forth in Exhibit B attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference.
Varying Interests All items of income, gain, loss, deduction or credit shall be allocated, and all distributions shall be made, to the Persons shown on the records of the Company to have been Members as of the last calendar day of the period for which the allocation or distribution is to be made. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if during any taxable year there is a change in any Member's Sharing Ratio, the Members agree that their allocable shares of such items for the taxable year shall be determined on any method determined by the Management Committee to be permissible under Code Section 706 and the related Treasury Regulations to take account of the Members' varying Sharing Ratios.
Tranches Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no more than ten (10) LIBOR Rate Loans may be outstanding hereunder at any one time during the Availability Period.
Certain Interests (a) Except as disclosed in Schedule 3.20, no officer or director of ERC, the LLC or any Subsidiary and no relative or spouse (or relative of such spouse) who resides with, or is a dependent of, any such officer or director: (i) has any direct or indirect financial interest in any competitor, supplier or customer of ERC, the LLC or any Subsidiary, provided, however, that the ownership of securities representing no more than one percent of the outstanding voting power of any competitor, supplier or customer, and which are listed on any national securities exchange or traded actively in the national over-the-counter market, shall not be deemed to be a "financial interest" so long as the person owning such securities has no other connection or relationship with such competitor, supplier or customer; (ii) owns, directly or indirectly, in whole or in part, or has any other interest in any tangible or intangible property which ERC, the LLC or any Subsidiary uses or has used in the conduct of its business or otherwise; or (iii) has outstanding any material indebtedness to ERC, the LLC or any Subsidiary. (b) Except as disclosed in Schedule 3.20(b), no officer or director of ERC, the LLC or any Subsidiary and no relative or spouse (or relative of such spouse) who resides with, or is a dependent of, any such officer or director has outstanding any indebtedness to the ERC Shareholders. (c) Except as disclosed in Schedule 3.20(c), neither ERC, the LLC nor any Subsidiary has any liability or any other obligation of any nature whatsoever to any officer, director or shareholder of ERC, the LLC or any Subsidiary or to any relative or spouse (or relative of such spouse) who resides with, or is a dependent of, any such officer, director or shareholder.
Establishment of Series and Classes The Trust shall consist of one or more Series and Classes and separate and distinct records shall be maintained by the Trust for each Series and Class. The Trustees shall have full power and authority, in their sole discretion, and without obtaining any prior authorization or vote of the Shareholders of any Series or Class of the Trust, to establish and designate and to change in any manner any initial or additional Series or Classes and to fix such preferences, voting powers, rights and privileges of such Series or Classes as the Trustees may from time to time determine, to divide or combine the Shares or any Series or Classes into a greater or lesser number, to classify or reclassify any issued Shares or any Series or Classes into one or more Series or Classes of Shares, and to take such other action with respect to the Shares as the Trustees may deem desirable. Unless another time is specified by the Trustees, the establishment and designation of any Series or Class shall be effective upon the adoption of a resolution by the Trustees setting forth such establishment and designation and the preferences, powers, rights and privileges of the Shares of such Series or Class, whether directly in such resolution or by reference to, or approval of, another document that sets forth such relative rights and preferences of such Series (or Class) including, without limitation, any registration statement of the Trust, or as otherwise provided in such resolution. The Trust may issue any number of Shares of each Series or Class and need not issue certificates for any Shares. All references to Shares in this Trust Instrument shall be deemed to be Shares of any or all Series or Classes as the context may require. All provisions herein relating to the Trust shall apply equally to each Series and Class of the Trust except as the context otherwise requires. All Shares of each Class of a particular Series shall represent an equal proportionate interest in the assets belonging to that Series (subject to the liabilities belonging to the Series, and, in the case of each Class, to the liabilities belonging to that Class), and each Share of any Class of a particular Series shall be equal to each other Share of that Class; but the provisions of this sentence shall not restrict any distinctions permissible under this Section 2.6.
Additional Series or Classes In the event that the Board of Directors of the Company shall determine to issue any additional series or classes of shares for which it is proposed that the Investment Manager serve as investment manager, the Company and the Investment Manager may enter into an Addendum to this Agreement setting forth the name of the series and/or class, the Fee Schedule for each and such other terms and conditions as are applicable to the management of such series of shares.
Classes The officers of the Company shall be a President, a Secretary, a Treasurer, and, if deemed necessary, expedient, or desirable by the Board of Managers, an Executive Vice President, one or more Senior Vice Presidents, one or more other Vice Presidents, one or more Assistant Treasurers, one or more Assistant Secretaries, and such other officers as may be elected or appointed in accordance with the provisions of this article. Additional officers and duties may be added by amendments to this article by the Members.
Stock Borrow Events In the good faith, commercially reasonable judgment of Party A (i) Party A (or its affiliate) is unable to hedge Party A’s exposure to the Transaction because of the lack of sufficient Shares being made available for Share borrowing by lenders, or (ii) Party A (or its affiliate) would incur a Stock Loan Fee to borrow a number of Shares equal to the Base Amount of more than a weighted average rate of the Maximum Stock Loan Rate (each, a “Stock Borrow Event”);
