Sale of Shares by the Trust The Trust reserves the right to issue any Shares at any time directly to the holders of Shares ("Shareholders"), to sell Shares to its Shareholders or to other persons at not less than net asset value and to issue Shares in exchange for substantially all the assets of any corporation or trust or for the shares of any corporation or trust.
Purchase or Sale of Partnership Interests The General Partner may cause the Partnership to purchase or otherwise acquire Partnership Interests or Derivative Partnership Interests. As long as Partnership Interests are held by any Group Member, such Partnership Interests shall not be considered Outstanding for any purpose, except as otherwise provided herein. The General Partner or any Affiliate of the General Partner may also purchase or otherwise acquire and sell or otherwise dispose of Partnership Interests for its own account, subject to the provisions of Articles IV and X.
Sale of Trust Shares 1.1 The Distributor agrees, subject to the Trust's rights under Section 1.2 and otherwise under this Agreement, to sell to the Company those Trust shares representing interests in Authorized Funds which each Account orders, executing such orders on a daily basis at the net asset value next computed after receipt by the Trust or its designee of the order for the shares of the Trust. For purposes of this Section 1.1, the Company shall be the designee of the Trust for receipt of such orders from each Account and receipt by such designee shall constitute receipt by the Trust; provided that the Trust receives notice of such order by 10:00 a.m., Eastern Time, on the next following Business Day. "Business Day" shall mean any day on which the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") is open for trading and on which the Trust calculates its net asset value pursuant to the rules of the SEC. The initial Authorized Funds are set forth in Schedule B, as such schedule is amended from time to time.
Redemptions by Trustee; Purchases by Depositor Any Unit tendered for redemption by a Unitholder or his duly authorized attorney to the Trustee at its unit investment trust division office shall be redeemed by the Trustee no later than the seventh calendar day following the day on which tender for redemption is made in proper form, provided that if such day of payment is not a Business Day, then such payment shall be made no later than the first Business Day prior thereto (herein referred to as the "Settlement Date"). Unitholders must sign the request exactly as their name appears on the records of the Trustee. If the amount of redemption is $500 or less and the proceeds are payable to the Unitholders of record at the address of record, no signature guarantee is necessary for redemptions by individual account owners (including joint owners). Additional documentation may be requested, and a signature guarantee is always required, from corporations, executors, administrators, trustees, guardians and associations. The signatures must be guaranteed by a participant in the Securities Transfer Agents Medallion Program (STAMP) or such other signature guarantee program in addition to, or in substitution for, STAMP, as may be accepted by the Trustee. Subject to (a) the next succeeding paragraph, (b) payment by such Unitholder of any tax or other governmental charges which may be imposed thereon and (c) payments in the form of In Kind Distributions (as defined below), such redemption is to be made by payment of cash equivalent to the Unit Value determined on the basis of a Trust Fund Evaluation made in accordance with Section 5.01 determined by the Trustee as of the Evaluation Time on the Redemption Date, multiplied by the number of Units tendered for redemption (herein called the "Redemption Value"), or, if the Unitholder wishes to redeem a number of Units less than all those so tendered, multiplied by the number of Units so designated by such Unitholder for redemption. Units received for redemption by the Trustee on any day after the Evaluation Time will be held by the Trustee until the next day on which the New York Stock Exchange is open for trading and will be deemed to have been tendered on such day for redemption at the Redemption Value computed on that day. The portion of the Redemption Value which represents income shall be withdrawn from the Principal Account to the extent available. The balance paid on any Redemption Value, including income not paid from the Principal Account, if any, shall be withdrawn from the Principal Account to the extent that funds are available for such purpose. If such available funds shall be insufficient, the Trustee shall sell such Securities as have been designated on the current list for such purpose by the Supervisor (or by the Evaluator), as hereinafter in this Section 5.02 provided, in amounts as the Trustee in its discretion shall deem advisable or necessary in order to fund the Principal Account for purposes of such redemption. Sale of Securities by the Trustee shall be made in such manner as the Trustee shall determine will bring the best price obtainable for a Trust, subject to any limitations as to the minimum amount of Securities to be sold specified in the Reference Trust Agreement. In the event that either (i) funds are withdrawn from the Principal Account and are applied to the payment of income upon any redemption of Units or (ii) Securities are sold for the payment of the Redemption value and any portion of the proceeds of such sale is applied to the payment of income upon such redemption, then, in either such event, the Principal Account shall be reimbursed therefor at such time as sufficient funds may be next available in the Principal Account for such purpose. The Trustee may in its discretion, and shall when so directed by the Depositor in writing, suspend the right of redemption for Units of a Trust or postpone the date of payment of the Redemption Value for more than seven calendar days following the day on which tender for redemption is made (i) for any period during which the New York Stock Exchange is closed other than customary weekend and holiday closings or during which (as determined by the Securities and Exchange Commission) trading on the New York Stock Exchange is restricted; (ii) for any period during which an emergency exists as a result of which disposal of the Securities by the Trustee is not reasonably practicable or it is not reasonably practicable fairly to determine in accordance herewith the underlying value of the Securities; or (iii) for such other period as the Securities and Exchange Commission may by order permit, and shall not be liable to any person or in any way for any loss or damage which may result from any such suspension or postponement. Not later than the close of business on the day of tender of any Unit for redemption by a Unitholder other than the Depositor, the Trustee shall notify the Depositor of such tender. The Depositor shall have the right to purchase such Unit by notifying the Trustee of its election to make such purchase as soon as practicable thereafter but in no event subsequent to the close of business on the second succeeding Business Day after the day on which such Unit was tendered for redemption. Such purchase shall be made by payment by the Depositor to the Unitholder at the price so bid by making payment therefor to the Unitholder in an amount not less than the Redemption Value on the day of tender not later than the day on which the Units would otherwise have been redeemed by the Trustee to such Unitholder. So long as the Depositor maintains a bid in the secondary market, the Depositor may repurchase the Units tendered to the Trustee for redemption by the Depositor but shall be under no obligation to maintain any bids and may, at any time while so maintaining such bids, cease to do so immediately at any time or from time to time without notice. Any Units so purchased by the Depositor may at the option of the Depositor be tendered to the Trustee for redemption at the unit investment trust office of the Trustee in the manner provided in the first paragraph of this Section 5.02. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 5.02, until the close of business on the second Business Day after the day on which such Unit was tendered for redemption, the Trustee is hereby irrevocably authorized in its discretion, in the event that the Depositor does not purchase any Units tendered to the Trustee for redemption, or in the event that a Unit is being tendered by the Depositor for redemption, in lieu of redeeming Units, to sell Units in the over-the-counter market through any broker-dealer of its choice for the account of the tendering Unitholder at prices which will return to the Unitholder an amount in cash, net after deducting brokerage commissions, transfer taxes and other charges, equal to or in excess of the Redemption Value which such Unitholder would otherwise be entitled to receive on redemption pursuant to this Section 5.02. The Trustee shall pay to the Unitholder the net proceeds of any such sale on the day on which such Unitholder would otherwise be entitled to receive payment of the Redemption Value hereunder. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 5.02, any Unitholder may, if such Unitholder tenders at least that minimum amount of Units for redemption specified in the Prospectus, request at the time of tender to receive from the Trustee in lieu of cash such Unitholder's pro rata share of each Security then held by such Trust; provided, however, if a Unitholder tenders for redemption Units having an aggregate value of at least the amount specified in the Prospectus, if any, the Depositor reserves the right to direct the Trustee to make an In Kind Distribution rather than make a cash payment. Such tendering Unitholder will receive his pro rata number of whole shares of each of the Securities comprising the portfolio of such Trust and cash from the Principal Account equal to the value of the fractional shares to which such tendering Unitholder is entitled. Such pro rata share of each Security and the related cash to which such tendering Unitholder is entitled is referred to herein as an "In Kind Distribution." An In Kind Distribution will be made by the Trustee through the distribution of each of the Securities in book-entry form to the account of the Unitholder's bank or broker-dealer at DTC. If funds in the Principal Account are insufficient to cover the required cash distribution to the tendering Unitholder, the Trustee shall sell Securities according to the criteria discussed herein. The Depositor may terminate the right of Unitholder to make In-Kind Distributions at any time or from time to time without notice. The Supervisor shall maintain with the Trustee a current list of Securities designated to be sold for the purpose of funding the Principal Account for redemption of Units tendered for redemption and, to the extent necessary, for payment of expenses under this Indenture. In connection therewith, the Depositor may specify in the Prospectus and/or the Reference Trust Agreement the minimum amounts of any Securities to be sold at any one time. If the Supervisor shall for any reason fail to maintain such a list, the Trustee may in its sole discretion designate a current list of Securities for such purposes. The net proceeds of any sale of such Securities representing income shall be credited to the Principal Account and then disbursed therefrom for payment of expenses and payments to Unitholders required to be paid under this Indenture. Any balance remaining after such disbursements shall remain credited to the Principal Account. Neither the Depositor nor the Trustee shall be liable or responsible in any way for depreciation or loss incurred by reason of any sale of Securities made pursuant to this Section 5.02. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no In Kind Distribution requests made pursuant to this Section 5.02 and submitted during the 30 business days prior to the trust's Mandatory Termination Date will be honored. In addition, no unitholder will be eligible for an In Kind Distribution of securities pursuant to Section 9.02. Furthermore, the availability of In Kind Distributions may be modified or discontinued as described in the Prospectus.
(19) The heading and the first sentence of Section 5.04 are hereby amended as follows:
PURCHASE AND SALE OF SECURITIES; CREDITS TO ACCOUNT 1. Promptly after each purchase or sale of Securities by the Fund, the Fund shall deliver to Custodian a Certificate or Instructions, or with respect to a purchase or sale of a Security generally required to be settled on the same day the purchase or sale is made, Oral Instructions specifying all information Custodian may reasonably request to settle such purchase or sale. Custodian shall account for all purchases and sales of Securities on the actual settlement date unless otherwise agreed by Custodian.
2. The Fund understands that when Custodian is instructed to deliver Securities against payment, delivery of such Securities and receipt of payment therefor may not be completed simultaneously. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, settlements, payments and deliveries of Securities may be effected by Custodian or any Subcustodian in accordance with the customary or established securities trading or securities processing practices and procedures in the jurisdiction in which the transaction occurs, including, without limitation, delivery to a purchaser or dealer therefor (or agent) against receipt with the expectation of receiving later payment for such Securities. The Fund assumes full responsibility for all risks, including, without limitation, credit risks, involved in connection with such deliveries of Securities.
3. Custodian may, as a matter of bookkeeping convenience or by separate agreement with the Fund, credit the Account with the proceeds from the sale, redemption or other disposition of Securities or interest, dividends or other distributions payable on Securities prior to its actual receipt of final payment therefor. All such credits shall be conditional until Custodian's actual receipt of final payment and may be reversed by Custodian to the extent that final payment is not received. Payment with respect to a transaction will not be "final" until Custodian shall have received immediately available funds which under applicable local law, rule and/or practice are irreversible and not subject to any security interest, levy or other encumbrance, and which are specifically applicable to such transaction.
Transfer of Partnership Interests The foregoing power of attorney shall survive the delivery of an instrument of transfer by any Partner of the whole or any portion of or interest in its Partnership Interest, except that (i) where a Partner becomes a Former Partner, or (ii) where a Transferee of such Partnership Interest has been approved as a successor Partner and the Transferor shall thereupon cease being a Partner (all in accordance with this Agreement), then the power of attorney of the Former Partner or the Transferor Partner, as the case may be, shall survive the cessation of Partner status or the delivery of such instrument of transfer, as the case may be, for the sole purpose of enabling the attorneys-in-fact for such Former Partner or the Transferor Partner (or any of them) to execute, swear to, acknowledge and file any and all instruments necessary to effectuate or reflect such cessation, transfer and succession.
Purchase or Sale of Partnership Securities The General Partner may cause the Partnership to purchase or otherwise acquire Partnership Securities; provided that, except as permitted pursuant to Section 4.10, the General Partner may not cause any Group Member to purchase Subordinated Units during the Subordination Period. As long as Partnership Securities are held by any Group Member, such Partnership Securities shall not be considered Outstanding for any purpose, except as otherwise provided herein. The General Partner or any Affiliate of the General Partner may also purchase or otherwise acquire and sell or otherwise dispose of Partnership Securities for its own account, subject to the provisions of Articles IV and X.
Sale of Units On the basis of the representations and warranties herein contained, but subject to the terms and conditions herein set forth, you agree to sell the Units on a “best efforts” basis, as agent for the Fund. You are authorized to enlist other members of FINRA (“Soliciting Dealers”), acceptable to the Fund, to sell the Units. As compensation for these services, the Fund agrees that it will pay you a selling commission in an amount equal to 9% of the offering price of the Units sold pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, from which you may reallow a dealer commission of up to 7.5% of such offering price. In addition to such selling commissions, the Fund or the Manager will pay or reimburse to you or participating broker dealers an amount up to 1% of the Gross Proceeds as additional selling compensation in the form of underwriters’ expenses borne by the Fund, the Manager or their affiliates, as described in the following paragraph. You will pay wholesaling compensation to your personnel out of the selling commissions you will receive hereunder. Aggregate selling compensation paid in connection with the offering, will not exceed a total equal to 10% of the Gross Proceeds. It is understood that the Fund may pay or reimburse you and participating dealers a portion of their “underwriters’ expenses” incurred in connection with the offering, and the Fund, the Manager or their Affiliates may bear certain other expenses directly that may be deemed “underwriters’ expenses.” These underwriters’ expenses include amounts paid by the Fund, the Manager or its Affiliates to you and participating broker dealers relating to sales seminar costs and expenses; advertising and promotion expenses; travel, food and lodging costs; telephone expenses; and an allocable portion of any of your salary expenses and legal fees borne by the Manager or its Affiliates. All of such amounts paid to you or participating broker dealers, all underwriters’ expenses borne on behalf of you or any participating broker dealer by the Fund or any other party on its behalf, and all selling commissions are together deemed “underwriting compensation” paid in connection with the offering. The total of all underwriting compensation, including sales commissions, wholesaling salaries and commissions, retail and wholesaling expense reimbursements, seminar expenses and any other underwriters’ expenses or other forms of compensation paid to or for you or participating broker-dealers, will not exceed 10% of the Gross Proceeds. In addition to such selling compensation, the Fund may reimburse the Soliciting Dealers for their bona fide and accountable expenses for due diligence purposes; provided, however, that any such payment or reimbursement will be made only upon presentation of detailed, itemized invoices for such bona fide due diligence expenses. Bona fide due diligence expenses will include actual costs incurred by broker-dealers to review the business, financial statements, transactions, and investments of ATEL and its prior programs to determine the accuracy and completeness of information provided in the Prospectus, the suitability of the investment for their clients and the integrity and management expertise of ATEL and its personnel. Costs may include telephone, postage and similar communication costs incurred in communicating with ATEL personnel, and ATEL’s outside accountants and counsel in this pursuit; travel and lodging costs incurred in visiting the ATEL offices, reviewing ATEL’s books and records and interviewing key ATEL personnel; the cost of outside counsel, accountants and other due diligence investigation specialists engaged by the broker-dealer; and the internal costs of time and materials expended by broker-dealer personnel in this due diligence effort. ATEL will require full itemized documentation of any claimed due diligence expenditure and will determine whether the expenditure can be fairly allocated to bona fide due diligence investigation before permitting reimbursement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, it is understood and agreed that the Manager has reserved the right to accept or reject any subscriptions for Units as set forth in the Prospectus and no selling commission will be payable to you or any of the Soliciting Dealers with respect to the tender of any Subscription Agreement which is rejected by you or the Manager as aforesaid. Furthermore, no subscription will be deemed binding until at least five days following delivery of a Prospectus. The Fund further agrees that it will pay the foregoing selling commission with respect to the purchase price of each of the Units upon the Manager’s acceptance of the order for such Units; provided, however, that none of such commissions will be payable or paid until release to the Fund from the escrow account in which they are to be deposited of proceeds from subscriptions for a minimum of 120,000 Units. It is understood and agreed that you may, in your discretion, permit you, the Manager, a Soliciting Dealer or any Affiliate or employee of any of the foregoing or certain clients of registered investment advisors to purchase Units net of the 7.5% retail selling commissions at a per Unit price of $9.25, as more specifically described in the Prospectus under “Plan of Distribution—Investments by Certain Persons.” Any such sale of Units net of retail commissions to you, the Manager, a Soliciting Dealer or any Affiliate or employee of such person will only be made if and to the extent that any Soliciting Dealer which would otherwise be entitled to a selling commission on any such transaction agrees to such rebate.
Sale of Shares by the Fund Unless you are otherwise notified by the Fund, any right granted to you to accept orders for Shares or to make sales on behalf of the Fund or to purchase Shares for resale will not apply to (i) Shares issued in connection with the merger or consolidation of any other investment company with the Fund or its acquisition, by purchase or otherwise, of all or substantially all of the assets of any investment company or substantially all the outstanding shares of any such company, and (ii) to Shares that may be offered by the Fund to shareholders of the Fund by virtue of their being such shareholders.
Registration and Transfer of Limited Partner Interests (a) The General Partner shall maintain, or cause to be maintained by the Transfer Agent in whole or in part, the Partnership Register on behalf of the Partnership.
(b) The General Partner shall not recognize any transfer of Limited Partner Interests evidenced by Certificates until the Certificates evidencing such Limited Partner Interests are duly endorsed and surrendered for registration of transfer. No charge shall be imposed by the General Partner for such transfer; provided, however, that as a condition to the issuance of any new Certificate under this Section 4.5, the General Partner may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed with respect thereto. Upon surrender of a Certificate for registration of transfer of any Limited Partner Interests evidenced by a Certificate, and subject to the provisions of this Section 4.5(b), the appropriate officers of the General Partner on behalf of the Partnership shall execute and deliver, and in the case of Certificates evidencing Limited Partner Interests for which a Transfer Agent has been appointed, the Transfer Agent shall countersign and deliver, in the name of the holder or the designated transferee or transferees, as required pursuant to the holder’s instructions, one or more new Certificates evidencing the same aggregate number and type of Limited Partner Interests as was evidenced by the Certificate so surrendered. Upon the proper surrender of a Certificate, such transfer shall be recorded in the Partnership Register.
(c) Upon the receipt of proper transfer instructions from the Record Holder of uncertificated Partnership Interests, such transfer shall be recorded in the Partnership Register.
(d) Except as provided in Section 4.9, by acceptance of any Limited Partner Interests pursuant to a transfer in accordance with this Article IV, each transferee of a Limited Partner Interest (including any nominee, or agent or representative acquiring such Limited Partner Interests for the account of another Person or Group) (i) shall be admitted to the Partnership as a Limited Partner with respect to the Limited Partner Interests so transferred to such Person when any such transfer or admission is reflected in the Partnership Register and such Person becomes the Record Holder of the Limited Partner Interests so transferred, (ii) shall become bound, and shall be deemed to have agreed to be bound, by the terms of this Agreement, (iii) represents that the transferee has the capacity, power and authority to enter into this Agreement, (iv) makes the consents, acknowledgements and waivers contained in this Agreement, all with or without execution of this Agreement by such Person and (v) shall be deemed to certify that the transferee is not an Ineligible Holder. The transfer of any Limited Partner Interests and the admission of any new Limited Partner shall not constitute an amendment to this Agreement.
(e) Subject to (i) the foregoing provisions of this Section 4.5, (ii) Section 4.3, (iii) Section 4.8, (iv) with respect to any class or series of Limited Partner Interests, the provisions of any statement of designations or an amendment to this Agreement establishing such class or series, (v) any contractual provisions binding on any Limited Partner and (vi) provisions of applicable law including the Securities Act, Limited Partner Interests shall be freely transferable.
(f) The General Partner and its Affiliates shall have the right at any time to transfer their Common Units to one or more Persons.
