Sale of Trust Shares 1.1 TRUST agrees to make available to the Separate Accounts of LIFE COMPANY shares of the selected Portfolios as listed in Appendix B for investment of proceeds from Variable Contracts allocated to the designated Separate Accounts, such shares to be offered as provided in TRUST's Prospectus.
Voting of Trust Shares With respect to any matter put to vote by the holders of Trust shares ("Voting Shares"), the Company will provide "pass-through" voting privileges to owners of Contracts registered with the SEC as long as the 1940 Act requires such privileges in such cases. In cases in which "pass-through" privileges apply, the Company will (i) solicit voting instructions from Contract Owners of SEC-registered Contracts; (ii) vote Voting Shares attributable to Contract Owners in accordance with instructions or proxies timely received from such Contract Owners; and (iii) vote Voting Shares held by it that are not attributable to reserves for SEC-registered Contracts or for which it has not received timely voting instructions in the same proportion as instructions received in a timely fashion from Owners of SEC-registered Contracts. The Company shall be responsible for ensuring that it calculates "pass-through" votes for the Account in a manner consistent with the provisions set forth above and with other Participating Insurance Companies. Neither the Company nor any of its affiliates will in any way recommend action in connection with, or oppose or interfere with, the solicitation of proxies for the Trust shares held for such Contract Owners, except with respect to matters as to which the Company has the right under Rule 6e-2 or 6e-3(T) under the 1940 Act, to vote Voting Shares without regard to voting instructions from Contract Owners.
Preferred Shares Notwithstanding Section 11.4.1, for the purpose of any computation hereunder, the "current per share market price" of the Preferred Shares shall be determined in the same manner as set forth above in Section 11.4.1 (other than the last sentence thereof). If the current per share market price of the Preferred Shares cannot be determined in the manner described in Section 11.4.1, the "current per share market price" of the Preferred Shares shall be conclusively deemed to be an amount equal to 100 (as such number may be appropriately adjusted for such events as stock splits, stock dividends and recapitalizations with respect to the Common Shares occurring after the date of this Agreement) multiplied by the current per share market price of the Common Shares (as determined pursuant to Section 11.4.1). If neither the Common Shares nor the Preferred Shares are publicly held or so listed or traded, or if on any such date neither the Common Shares nor the Preferred Shares are so quoted and no such market maker is making a market in either the Common Shares or the Preferred Shares, "current per share market price" of the Preferred Shares shall mean the fair value per share as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company, or, if at the time of such determination there is an Acquiring Person, by a nationally recognized investment banking firm selected by the Board of Directors of the Company, which shall have the duty to make such determination in a reasonable and objective manner, which determination shall be described in a statement filed with the Rights Agent and shall be conclusive for all purposes. For purposes of this Agreement, the "current per share market price" of one one-hundredth of a Preferred Share shall be equal to the "current per share market price" of one Preferred Share divided by 100.
Certificates for the Shares Promptly after receipt of payment of the purchase price, AVRS shall instruct its transfer agent to prepare a stock certificate for the purchased Shares for delivery to the Purchaser at the Purchaser’s address set forth on the signature page to this Agreement. Each certificate shall have a legend substantially as follows: THE OFFERED SHARES ARE RESTRICTED SECURITIES PURSUANT TO THE U.S. SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “ACT”), AND SUBJECT TO CERTAIN IMPORTANT LIMITATIONS ON THEIR RESALE OR OTHER TRANSFER. THESE SHARES MAY NOT BE RESOLD OR TRANSFERRED UNLESS THE SHARES ARE REGISTERED PURSUANT TO THE ACT AND QUALIFIED PURSUANT TO THE APPLICABLE STATE STATUTES, UNLESS AN EXEMPTION FROM SUCH REGISTRATION AND QUALIFICATION IS DEMONSTRATED TO THE SATISFACTION OF THE COMPANY.
Exchange Shares There shall be allocated to the Distributor and each Other Distributor, as the case may be, all Commission Shares of such Portfolio which were issued during or after the period referred to in (a) as a consequence of one or more free exchanges of Commission Shares of the Portfolio or of another portfolio (other than Free Appreciation Shares) (the "Exchange Shares"), which in accordance with the transfer records maintained for such Portfolio can be traced to Commission Shares of the Portfolio or another portfolio initially issued by the Company or such other portfolio during the time the Distributor or such Other Distributor, as the case may be, was the exclusive distributor for the Shares of the Portfolio or such other portfolio.
Class B Shares As of December 1, 2009, Class B shares of the Virtus Mutual Funds are no longer available for purchase by new or existing shareholders, except for the reinvestment of dividends or capital gains distributions into existing Class B share accounts, and for exchanges from existing Class B share accounts to other Virtus Mutual Funds with Class B shares.
