Related to Transfer of Units Repurchase of Units

• Transfer of Units 10.3.1 Units may be transferred only in the manner described in Article 9.2. The transfer of any Units and the admission of any new Partner shall not constitute an amendment to this Agreement.

• Repurchase of Units (a) Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, no Partner or other Person holding Units will have the right to withdraw or tender for repurchase any of its Units. The Directors may, from time to time, in their complete and exclusive discretion and on terms and conditions as they may determine, cause the Partnership to repurchase Units in accordance with written tenders. The Partnership will not offer, however, to repurchase Units on more than four occasions during any one Fiscal Year, unless the Partnership has been advised by its legal counsel that more frequent offers would not cause any adverse tax consequences to the Partnership or the Partners. In determining whether to cause the Partnership to repurchase Units, pursuant to written tenders, the Directors will consider the following factors, among others:

• Purchase of Units On the basis of the representations and warranties herein contained, but subject to the terms and conditions herein set forth, the Company agrees to issue and sell to the several Underwriters, severally and not jointly, an aggregate of 20,000,000 units of the Company (the “Firm Units”) at a purchase price (net of discounts and commissions) of $9.80

• Restriction on Transfer of Option Shares Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, the Optionee hereby agrees that it shall not sell, transfer by any means or otherwise dispose of the Option Shares acquired by it without registration under the 1933 Act, or in the event that they are not so registered, unless (i) an exemption from the 1933 Act registration requirements is available thereunder, and (ii) the Optionee has furnished the Company with notice of such proposed transfer and the Company’s legal counsel, in its reasonable opinion, shall deem such proposed transfer to be so exempt.

• Sale and Transfer of Shares Closing Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, at the Closing, the following will occur:

• Restrictions on Transfer of Units Until the vesting of, and lapse of the restrictions applicable to, any Units and the delivery of Shares in payment therefor, Units may not be sold, transferred, pledged, exchanged, hypothecated or disposed of by you and shall not be subject to execution, attachment or similar process.

• Rollover of Units (a) If the Depositor shall offer a subsequent series of the Trusts, (the "New Series"), the Trustee shall, at the Depositor's sole cost and expense, include in the notice sent to Unit holders specified in Section 8.02 a form of election whereby Unit holders, whose redemption distribution would be in an amount sufficient to purchase at least one Unit of the New Series, may elect to have their Unit(s) redeemed in kind in the manner provided in Section 5.02, the Securities included in the redemption distribution sold, and the cash proceeds applied by the Distribution Agent to purchase Units of a New Series, all as hereinafter provided. The Trustee shall honor properly completed election forms returned to the Trustee, accompanied by any Certificate evidencing Units tendered for redemption or a properly completed redemption request with respect to uncertificated Units, by its close of business on the Rollover Notification Date. The notice and form of election to be sent to Unit holders in respect of any redemption and purchase of Units of a New Series as provided in this section shall be in such form and shall be sent at such time or times as the Depositor shall direct the Trustee in writing and the Trustee shall have no responsibility therefor. The Distributions Agent acts solely as disbursing agent in connection with purchases of Units pursuant to this Section and nothing herein shall be deemed to constitute the Distribution Agent a broker in such transactions All Units so tendered by a Unit holder (a "Rollover Unit holder") shall be redeemed and cancelled during the Special Redemption and Liquidation Period on such date or dates specified by Depositor. Subject to payment by such Rollover Unit holder of any tax or other governmental charges which may be imposed thereon, such redemption is to be made in kind pursuant to Section 5.02 by distribution of cash and/or Securities to the Distribution Agent on the redemption date equal to the net asset value (determined on the basis of the Trust Fund Evaluation as of the redemption date in accordance with Section 4.01) multiplied by the number of Units being redeemed (herein called the "Rollover Distribution"). Any Securities that are made part of the Rollover Distribution shall be valued for purposes of the redemption distribution as of the redemption date. All Securities included in a Unit holder's Rollover Distribution shall be sold by the Distribution Agent during the Special Redemption and Liquidation Period specified in the Prospectus pursuant to the Depositor's direction, and the Distribution Agent shall, unless directed otherwise by the Depositor, employ the Depositor as broker in connection with such sales. For such brokerage services, the Depositor shall be entitled to compensation at its customary rates, provided however, that its compensation shall not exceed the amount authorized by applicable securities laws and regulations. The Depositor shall direct that sales be made in accordance with the guidelines set forth in the Prospectus under the heading "Special Redemption, Liquidation and Investment in a New Trust." Should the Depositor fail to provide direction, the Distribution Agent shall sell the Securities in the manner provided in the prospectus. The Distribution Agent shall have no responsibility for any loss or depreciation incurred by reason of any sale made pursuant to this Section. Upon completion of all sales of Securities included in the Rollover Unit holder's Rollover Distribution, the Distribution Agent shall, as agent for such Rollover Unit holder, enter into a contract with the Depositor to purchase from the Depositor Units of a New Series (if any), at the Depositor's public offering price for such Units on such day, and at such reduced sales charge as shall be described in the prospectus for such Trust. Such contract shall provide for purchase of the maximum number of Units of a New Series whose purchase price is equal to or less than the cash proceeds held by the Distribution Agent for the Unit holder on such day (including therein the proceeds anticipated to be received in respect of Securities traded on such day net of all brokerage fees, governmental charges and any other expenses incurred in connection with such sale), to the extent Units are available for purchase from the Depositor. In the event a sale of Securities included in the Rollover Unit holder's redemption distribution shall not be consummated in accordance with its terms, the Distribution Agent shall apply the cash proceeds held for such Unit holder as of the settlement date for the purchase of Units of a New Series to purchase the maximum number of Units which such cash balance will permit, and the Depositor agrees that the settlement date for Units whose purchase was not consummated as a result of insufficient funds will be extended until cash proceeds from the Rollover Distribution are available in a sufficient amount to settle such purchase. If the Unit holder's Rollover Distribution will produce insufficient cash proceeds to purchase all of the Units of a New Series contracted for, the Depositor agrees that the contract shall be rescinded with respect to the Units as to which there was a cash shortfall without any liability to the Rollover Unit holder or the Distribution Agent. Any cash balance remaining after such purchase shall be distributed within a reasonable time to the Rollover Unit holder by check mailed to the address of such Unit holder on the registration books of the Trustee. Units of a New Series will be uncertificated unless and until the Rollover Unit holder requests a certificate. Any cash held by the Distribution Agent shall be held in a non-interest bearing account which will be of benefit to the Distribution Agent in accordance with normal banking procedures. Neither the Trustee nor the Distribution Agent shall have any responsibility or liability for loss or depreciation resulting from any reinvestment made in accordance with this paragraph, or for any failure to make such reinvestment in the event the Depositor does not make Units available for purchase.

• Transfer or Interchange of Units Units may be transferred by the registered holder thereof by presentation and surrender of such Units at the corporate trust office of the Trustee, properly endorsed or accompanied by a written instrument or instruments of transfer in form satisfactory to the Trustee and executed by the Unitholder or his authorized attorney, whereupon new Units will be issued in exchange and substitution therefore and Units surrendered shall be cancelled by the Trustee. The registered holder of any Unit may transfer such Unit by the presentation of transfer instructions to the Trustee at the corporate trust office of the Trustee accompanied by such documents as the Trustee deems necessary to evidence the authority of the person making such transfer and executed by the registered holder or his authorized attorney, whereupon the Trustee shall make proper notification of such transfer on the registration books of the Trustee. A sum sufficient to pay any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any such transfer or interchange shall be paid by the Unitholder to the Trustee."

Beginning on the date hereof and ending on the later to occur of (A) last date the Stock Options are exercisable pursuant to Section 3 hereof and (B) the date that all of the Stockholder's obligations under Section 2 have terminated, except as contemplated by this Agreement or the Merger Agreement, no Stockholder shall, directly or indirectly, (i) offer for sale, sell, transfer, tender, pledge, encumber, assign or otherwise dispose of, or enter into any contract, option or other arrangement or understanding with respect to or consent to the offer for sale, sale, transfer, tender, pledge, encumbrance, assignment or other disposition of, any or all of the Shares or any interest therein; (ii) except as contemplated by this Agreement, grant any proxies or powers of attorney, deposit any of the Shares into a voting trust or enter into a voting agreement with respect to any of the Shares; or (iii) take any action that would make any representation or warranty of the Stockholder contained herein untrue or incorrect or have the effect of preventing or disabling the Stockholder from performing the Stockholder's obligations under this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary provided in this Agreement, a Stockholder shall have the right to make Permitted Transfers of Shares. The Stockholder agrees with, and covenants to, Sub that beginning on the date hereof and ending on the last date the Stock Options are exercisable pursuant to Section 3 hereof, the Stockholder shall not request that the Company register the transfer (book-entry or otherwise) of any certificate or uncertificated interest representing any of the Shares, unless such transfer is made in compliance with this Agreement (including the provisions of Section 2 hereof).

• 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.
