time, is made and effective this 31st day of December, 2009.
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.”
B. Continuing Effect. Except as otherwise amended hereby, the Agreement shall remain in
full force and effect.
