A. | Amendments. The Agreement is hereby amended as follows: |
1. | The third to last paragraph in Section 3.1(b) of the Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows: |
“Any determination made in good faith, whether by or pursuant to the
authority granted by the Manager, as to: the amount of the assets, debts,
obligations or liabilities of the Fund or its Shareholders; the amount of any
reserves or charges set up and the propriety thereof; the time of or purpose for
creating such reserves or charges; the use, alteration or cancellation of any
reserves or charges (whether or not any debt, obligation or liability for which
such reserves or charges shall have been created shall have been paid or discharged
or shall be then or thereafter required to be paid or discharged); the cost of any
investment or other asset owned or held by the Fund; the value of any investment or
other asset of the Fund; the number of Shares outstanding; the estimated expense to
the Fund in connection with the issue and sale of its Shares; the ability to
liquidate investments in an orderly fashion; the extent to which it is practicable
to deliver a selection of securities to satisfy a redemption of Shares; and as to
any and all other matters relating to the issue, sale, redemption, exchange,
transfer and/or other acquisition or disposition of investments or Shares of the
Fund, shall in each and all cases be final and conclusive, and shall be binding
upon the Fund and its Shareholders, past, present and future, and Shares are issued
and sold on the condition and understanding that any and all such determinations
shall be binding as aforesaid.”
2. | The paragraph immediately following clause (e) of Article 7 of the Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows: |
“Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Article 7, no value shall
be assigned to the Fund name and goodwill or to the office records, files,
statistical data or any similar intangible assets of the Fund not normally
reflected in the Fund’s accounting records; and provided, further, that fixed
liabilities of the Fund will generally be stated at their principal value,
reasonable provision to be made, however, for contingent or other liabilities not
reflected on such books and, in the case of the liquidation of the Fund, for the
expenses (to be borne by the Fund) of the liquidation and winding up of the Fund’s
affairs. Promptly after completing any such determination of value with respect to
the Fund’s portfolio in connection with a distribution of assets in kind on the
termination of the Fund, the Manager shall give written notice of such
determination to all Shareholders.”
3. | Section 8.1(a) of the Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows: |
“On the last business day of each Fiscal Year or shortly thereafter, the
Fund intends to distribute to the Shareholders of record on the date identified as the
record date for such distribution (i) an amount approximately equal to 25% (which
percentage may be adjusted to reflect changes in the effective individual federal tax
rate) of the Net Current Income of the Fund for the Fiscal Year, if any, that is
characterized as “qualified dividend income” for federal tax purposes and (ii)
an amount approximately equal to 45% (which percentage may be adjusted to
reflect changes in the effective individual federal tax rate) of the Net Current
Income of the Fund for the Fiscal Year, if any, that is not characterized as
“qualified dividend income” for federal tax purposes. The term “Net
Current Income” shall mean the net income and net realized short-term capital gains in
excess of net realized long-term capital losses accrued by or allocated to the Fund
for the Fiscal Year ended, determined in accordance with the treatment of various
income, gain, loss, expense and other items for federal income tax purposes, except as
may otherwise be appropriate. Such distributions shall be made to the Shareholders pro
rata in proportion to the number of Undivided Shares and Paired Share Units then
outstanding. Amounts distributable in respect of Paired Share Units shall be
distributed in the following manner: (i) to the holders of Preferred Shares in amounts
not to exceed the cumulative accrued but undistributed Preferred Return on such
Preferred Shares; and (ii) the balance, if any, to the holders of the corresponding
Common Shares.”
