Neither a Transfer of Units nor the admission of the Transferee thereof as a Member shall discharge the transferor from any obligation hereunder.

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. (b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Depositor may, in its discretion at any time, decide not to offer any new Trust Series in the future, and if so, this Section
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." 23. The Trustee's annual compensation as set forth under Section 7.04, for each distribution plan shall be that amount set forth under the section entitled "Summary of Essential Financial Information--Expenses--Trustee's Fee" in the Prospectus Part I for a Trust. In addition, the last sentence of the first paragraph of Section 7.04 is hereby deleted. Section 9.01 of the Standard Terms and Conditions of Trust shall be replaced in its entirety with the following:
Restriction on Transfer of Shares Proxies and Non-Interference. 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.
Sale and Repurchase of Shares (a) Distributor will have the right, as agent for the Trust, to enter into dealer agreements with responsible investment dealers, and to sell Shares to such investment dealers against orders therefor at the public offering price (as defined in subparagraph 2(d) hereof) stated in the Trust's effective Registration Statement on Form N-1A under the Act and the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, including the then current prospectus and statement of additional information (the "Registration Statement"). Upon receipt of an order to purchase Shares from a dealer with whom Distributor has a dealer agreement, Distributor will promptly cause such order to be filled by the Trust. All dealer agreements shall be in such form as has been approved by the Trust. (b) Distributor will also have the right, as agent for the Trust, to sell such Shares to the public against orders therefor at the public offering price. (c) Distributor will also have the right to take, as agent for the Trust, all actions which, in Distributor's reasonable judgment, are necessary to carry into effect the distribution of the Shares. (d) The public offering price for the Shares of each Series shall be the respective net asset value of the Shares of that Series then in effect, plus any applicable sales charge determined in the manner set forth in the Registration Statement or as permitted by the Act and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission promulgated thereunder. In no event shall any applicable sales charge exceed the maximum sales charge permitted by the Rules of FINRA. (e) The net asset value of the Shares of each Series shall be determined in the manner provided in the Registration Statement, and when determined shall be applicable to transactions as provided for in the Registration Statement. The net asset value of the Shares of each Series shall be calculated by the Trust or by another entity on behalf of the Trust. Distributor shall have no duty to inquire into or liability for the accuracy of the net asset value per Share as calculated. (f) On every sale, the Trust shall receive the applicable net asset value of the Shares promptly, but in no event later than the third business day following the date on which Distributor shall have received an order for the purchase of the Shares. (g) Upon receipt of purchase instructions, Distributor will transmit such instructions to the Trust or its transfer agent for the issuance and registration of the Shares purchased. (h) Nothing in this Agreement shall prevent Distributor or any affiliated person (as defined in the Act) of Distributor from acting as distributor for any other person, firm or corporation (including other investment companies) or in any way limit or restrict Distributor or any such affiliated person from buying, selling or trading any securities for its or their own account or for the accounts of others from whom it or they may be acting; provided, however, that Distributor expressly represents that it will undertake no activities which, in its reasonable judgment, will adversely affect the performance of its obligations to the Trust under this Agreement. (i) Distributor, as agent of and for the account of the Trust, may repurchase the Shares at such prices and upon such terms and conditions as shall be specified in the Registration Statement.
ISSUANCE AND TRANSFER OF SHARES 1. The Bank will issue Share certificates upon receipt of a Certificate from an Officer, but shall not be required to issue Share certificates after it has received from an appropriate federal or state authority written notification that the sale of Shares has been suspended or discontinued, and the Bank shall be entitled to rely upon such written notification. The Bank shall not be responsible for the payment of any original issue or other taxes required to be paid by the Customer in connection with the issuance of any Shares. 2. Shares will be transferred upon presentation to the Bank of Share certificates in form deemed by the Bank properly endorsed for transfer, accompanied by such documents as the Bank deems necessary to evidence the authority of the person making such transfer, and bearing satisfactory evidence of the payment of applicable stock transfer taxes. In the case of small estates where no administration is contemplated, the Bank may, when furnished with an appropriate surety bond, and without further approval of the Customer, transfer Shares registered in the name of the decedent where the current market value of the Shares being transferred does not exceed such amount as may from time to time be prescribed by the various states. The Bank reserves the right to refuse to transfer Shares until it is satisfied that the endorsements on Share certificates are valid and genuine, and for that purpose it may require, unless otherwise instructed by an Officer of the Customer, a guaranty of signature by an "eligible guarantor institution" meeting the requirements of the Bank, which requirements include membership or participation in STAMP or such other "signature guarantee program" as may be determined by the Bank in addition to, or in substitution for, STAMP, all in accordance with the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The Bank also reserves the right to refuse to transfer Shares until it is satisfied that the requested transfer is legally authorized, and it shall incur no liability for the refusal in good faith to make transfers which the Bank, in its judgment, deems improper or unauthorized, or until it is satisfied that there is no basis to any claims adverse to such transfer. The Bank may, in effecting transfers of Shares, rely upon those provisions of the Uniform Act for the Simplification of Fiduciary Security Transfers or the Uniform Commercial Code, as the same may be amended from time to time, applicable to the transfer of securities, and the Customer shall indemnify the Bank for any act done or omitted by it in good faith in reliance upon such laws. 3. All certificates representing Shares that are subject to restrictions on transfer (e.g., securities acquired pursuant to an investment representation, securities held by controlling persons, securities subject to stockholders' agreement, etc.), shall be stamped with a legend describing the extent and conditions of the restrictions or referring to the source of such restrictions. The Bank assumes no responsibility with respect to the transfer of restricted securities where counsel for the Customer advises that such transfer may be properly effected.
Issuance and Repurchase of Shares The Trustees shall have the power to authorize the Trust to issue, sell, repurchase, redeem, retire, cancel, acquire, hold, resell, reissue, dispose of, transfer, and otherwise deal in Shares and in any options, warrants or other rights to purchase Shares or any other interests in the Trust other than Shares.
