Restrictions on Note Acquisitions Neither a member of any “expanded group” (as defined in Treasury Regulation Section 1.385-1(c)(4)) that includes the Trust or a Certificate Owner nor a “controlled partnership” (as defined in Treasury Regulation Section 1.385-1(c)(1)) of either such expanded group shall acquire (or hold) any Notes from the Trust, any Affiliate, or through the marketplace prior to obtaining an Opinion of Counsel stating that (i) the acquisition or reacquisition of such Note will not cause the Trust, initially upon such acquisition or subsequent to the acquisition, to be classified as an association or publicly traded partnership treated as a corporation for federal income tax purposes and will not cause the Note to be recharacterized as stock pursuant to Treasury Regulations under Section 385 of the Code or otherwise cause the Trust not to be classified as a grantor trust. The preceding sentence shall not apply to (i) any U.S. corporate member of the same U.S. corporate affiliated group (as defined in Section 1504 of the Code) filing a consolidated federal income tax return that includes the Trust or every applicable Certificate Owner (the “Trust Consolidated Group”) or (ii) a partnership all of the partners of which are either such U.S. corporate members of the Trust Consolidated Group as described in clause (A) or partnerships all of the partners of which are such U.S. corporate members of the Trust Consolidated Group as described in clause (A). No member of any “expanded group” that includes the Trust or Certificate Owner (as defined in Treasury Regulation Section 1.385-1(b)(3)) or “controlled partnership” of such expanded group (as defined in Treasury Regulation Section 1.385-1(c)(4)) shall transfer any Notes outside the expanded group prior to obtaining an Opinion of Counsel stating that the transfer of such Note will not cause the Trust to be classified as an association or publicly traded partnership treated as a corporation for federal income tax purposes and will not cause the Note to be recharacterized as stock pursuant to Treasury Regulations under Section 385 of the Code or otherwise cause the Trust not to be classified as a grantor trust.
Repurchase of Interests (a) Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, no Member or other person holding an Interest or portion thereof shall have the right to withdraw or tender to the Company for repurchase that Interest or portion thereof. The Board from time to time, in its sole discretion and on such terms and conditions as it may determine, may cause the Company to repurchase Interests or portions thereof pursuant to written tenders. However, the Company shall not offer to repurchase Interests on more than four occasions during any Taxable Year unless it has received an opinion of counsel to the effect that such more frequent offers would not cause any adverse tax consequences to the Company or Members. In determining whether to cause the Company to repurchase Interests pursuant to written tenders, the Board shall consider the recommendation of the Manager, and shall also consider the following factors, among others:
Founder’s Purchase Agreement The Founder’s Purchase Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company and the Sponsor, and is a valid and binding agreement of the Company and the Sponsor, enforceable against the Company and the Sponsor in accordance with its terms except as the enforceability thereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, or similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally from time to time in effect and by equitable principles of general applicability.
Purchase of Interests Any of the Advisor, its principals and employees may, in its discretion, purchase Interests in the Trust.
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:
Sale and Purchase of the Shares On the basis of the representations, warranties and agreements contained in, and subject to the terms and conditions of, this Agreement:
Sale and Purchase of the Notes Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, at the Closing the Company shall issue and sell to the Purchaser, and the Purchaser shall purchase and acquire from the Company, the Notes for a purchase price equal to the principal amount of the Notes purchased (the “Purchase Price”).
Purchase of the Units (a) The Company agrees to issue and sell the Underwritten Units to the several Underwriters as provided in this underwriting agreement (this “Agreement”), and each Underwriter, on the basis of the representations, warranties and agreements set forth herein and subject to the conditions set forth herein, agrees, severally and not jointly, to purchase at a price per Unit of $9.80 (the “Purchase Price”) from the Company the respective number of Underwritten Units set forth opposite such Underwriter’s name in Schedule 1 hereto.
Segregation of Purchased Securities To the extent required by applicable law, all Purchased Securities in the possession of Seller shall be segregated from other securities in its possession and shall be identified as subject to this Agreement. Segregation may be accomplished by appropriate identification on the books and records of the holder, including a financial or securities intermediary or a clearing corporation. All of Seller’s interest in the Purchased Securities shall pass to Buyer on the Purchase Date and, unless otherwise agreed by Buyer and Seller, nothing in this Agreement shall preclude Buyer from engaging in repurchase transactions with the Purchased Securities or otherwise selling, transferring, pledging or hypothecating the Purchased Securities, but no such transaction shall relieve Buyer of its obligations to transfer Purchased Securities to Seller pursuant to Paragraph 3, 4 or 11 hereof, or of Buyer’s obligation to credit or pay Income to, or apply Income to the obligations of, Seller pursuant to Paragraph 5 hereof. Required Disclosure for Transactions in Which the Seller Retains Custody of the Purchased Securities Seller is not permitted to substitute other securities for those subject to this Agreement and therefore must keep Buyer’s securities segregated at all times, unless in this Agreement Buyer grants Seller the right to substitute other securities. If Buyer grants the right to substitute, this means that Buyer’s securities will likely be commingled with Seller’s own securities during the trading day. Buyer is advised that, during any trading day that Buyer’s securities are commingled with Seller’s securities, they [will]* [may]** be subject to liens granted by Seller to [its clearing bank]* [third parties]** and may be used by Seller for deliveries on other securities transactions. Whenever the securities are commingled, Seller’s ability to resegregate substitute securities for Buyer will be subject to Seller’s ability to satisfy [the clearing]* [any]** lien or to obtain substitute securities.
