Additional Procedures Once initiated by an Auction Notice, the Borrowers may withdraw a Dutch Auction by written notice to the Auction Manager no later than 24 hours before the original Expiration Time so long as no Qualifying Bids have been received by the Auction Manager at or prior to the time the Auction Manager receives such written notice from the Borrower Representative. Any Return Bid (including any component bid thereof) delivered to the Auction Manager may not be modified, revoked, terminated or cancelled; provided that a Term Loan Lender may modify a Return Bid at any time prior to the Expiration Time solely to reduce the Reply Price included in such Return Bid. However, a Dutch Auction shall become void if the Borrowers fail to satisfy one or more of the conditions to the purchase of Term Loans set forth in, or to otherwise comply with the provisions of Section 10.6(c) of the Second Lien Credit and Guaranty Agreement. The purchase price for all Term Loans purchased in a Dutch Auction shall be paid in cash by the Borrowers directly to the respective assigning Term Loan Lender on a settlement date as determined by the Auction Manager in consultation with the Borrowers (which shall be no later than ten (10) Business Days after the date Return Bids are due), along with accrued and unpaid interest (if any) on the applicable Term Loans up to the settlement date. The Borrowers shall execute each applicable Auction Assignment and Acceptance received in connection with a Qualifying Bid. All questions as to the form of documents and validity and eligibility of Term Loans that are the subject of a Dutch Auction will be determined by the Auction Manager, in consultation with the Borrowers, and the Auction Manager’s determination will be conclusive, absent manifest error. The Auction Manager’s interpretation of the terms and conditions of the Offer Document, in consultation with the Borrowers, will be final and binding. None of the Administrative Agent, the Auction Manager, any other Agent or any of their respective Affiliates assumes any responsibility for the accuracy or completeness of the information concerning the Borrowers, the Restricted Subsidiaries or any of their Affiliates contained in the Offer Documents or otherwise or for any failure to disclose events that may have occurred and may affect the significance or accuracy of such information. The Auction Manager acting in its capacity as such under a Dutch Auction shall be entitled to the benefits of the provisions of Sections 9, 10.2 and 10.3 of the Second Lien Credit and Guaranty Agreement to the same extent as if each reference therein to the “Administrative Agent” were a reference to the Auction Manager, each reference therein to the “Credit Documents” were a reference to the Offer Documents, the Auction Notice and Auction Assignment and Acceptance and each reference therein to the “Transactions” were a reference to the transactions contemplated hereby and the Administrative Agent shall cooperate with the Auction Manager as reasonably requested by the Auction Manager in order to enable it to perform its responsibilities and duties in connection with each Dutch Auction. This Appendix C shall not require any Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary to initiate any Dutch Auction, nor shall any Term Loan Lender be obligated to participate in any Dutch Auction. 1. Not later than the date that is three Business Days after the Closing Date (or such later date as the Administrative Agent may agree in its sole discretion), Corsair Memory (Cayman) Ltd. shall have transferred to Corsair Components, Inc., all of the Equity Interests of Corsair Components, Inc. owned by Corsair Memory (Cayman) Ltd. and such Equity Interests shall have been converted into treasury shares, or such Equity Interests shall have been cancelled. 2. Not later than the date that is 20 days after the Closing Date (or such later date as the Administrative Agent may agree in its sole discretion), the Administrative Agent shall have received evidence, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to it, that (i) the HK Process Agent has accepted the appointment by the Borrower Representative and/or Holdings for a period ending one year after the Term Loan Maturity Date and (ii) all fees in connection with such appointment, if any, have been paid for the entire term of such appointment. 3. Not later than the date that is 30 days after the Closing Date (or such later date as the Administrative Agent may agree in its sole discretion), the Administrative Agent shall have received, all Delayed Approvals, Guarantees and Security that were not delivered by the Credit Parties on or prior to the Closing Date pursuant to Section 3.1(r) of the Agreement. 4.

Not later than the date that is 45 days after the Closing Date (or such later date as the Administrative Agent may agree in its sole discretion), the Administrative Agent shall have received, an amendment to the Organizational Documents of Corsair Components Limited removing any restrictions with respect to any pledge of its Equity Interests owned by Corsair (Hong Kong) Limited or any other Person as collateral security for the Obligations, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. 6. Not later than the date that is 30 days after the Closing Date (or such later date as the Administrative Agent may agree in its sole discretion), (a) Corsair Components B.V. shall have been wound up or dissolved, (b) all of Corsair Components B.V.’s business, property and assets shall have been conveyed, sold, leased, transferred or otherwise disposed of, in one transaction or a series of transactions, to another Credit Party and (c) the Administrative Agent shall have received one or more Foreign Collateral Documents duly executed and delivered by each applicable Credit Party as may be required by the Administrative Agent in order to create, perfect and establish a first priority Lien on all of the Equity Interests of Corsair (Hong Kong) Limited as Collateral for the Obligations, unless prior to such date, the Administrative Agent shall have received (i)(A) a Counterpart Agreement duly executed and delivered by Corsair Components B.V., (B) one or more applicable Collateral Documents, agreements, instruments, approvals or other documents required under Section 5.11 with respect to new Subsidiaries of Holdings to create, perfect and establish a first priority Lien on all of the Equity Interests of Corsair Components B.V. and all property and assets of Corsair Components B.V. as Collateral for the Obligations.
Repurchase Procedures The Company may elect to exercise the right to purchase all or any portion of the Executive Units pursuant to the Repurchase Option by delivering written notice (the "Repurchase Notice") to the holder or holders of Executive Units within 180 days after Executive's Termination Date. The Repurchase Notice will set forth the number of Executive Units to be acquired from such holder(s), the aggregate consideration to be paid for such Units and the time and place for the closing of the transaction. The Company may elect to purchase all or any portion of the Unvested Units without or before purchasing any Vested Units. If any of the Executive Units are held by Permitted Transferees of Executive, the Company shall purchase the units elected to be purchased from such holder(s) of Executive Units pro rata according to the number of Executive Units held by such holder(s) at the time of delivery of such Repurchase Notice (determined as nearly as practicable to the nearest unit). If both Unvested Units and Vested Units are to be purchased by the Company and Executive Units are held by Permitted Transferees of Executive, the number of Unvested Units and Vested Units to be purchased will be allocated among such holders pro rata according to the total number of Executive Units to be purchased from such person.
Mandatory Procedures The parties agree that any dispute arising out of or relating to this Agreement shall be resolved solely by means of the procedures set forth in this Article, and that such procedures constitute legally binding obligations that are an essential provision of this Agreement. If either party fails to observe the procedures of this Article, as may be modified by their written agreement, the other party may bring an action for specific performance of these procedures in any court of competent jurisdiction.
Redemption Procedures (i) Notice of any redemption of Partnership Preferred Securities (a "Redemption Notice") will be given by the Partnership by mail to each Holder of Partnership Preferred Securities to be redeemed not fewer than 30 nor more than 60 days before the date fixed for redemption. For purposes of the calculation of the date of redemption and the dates on which notices are given pursuant to this Section 6.2(e)(i), a Redemption Notice shall be deemed to be given on the day such notice is first mailed, by first-class mail, postage prepaid, to Holders of Partnership Preferred Securities. Each Redemption Notice shall be addressed to the Holders of Partnership Preferred Securities at the address of each such Holder appearing in the books and records of the Partnership. No defect in the Redemption Notice or in the mailing thereof with respect to any Holder shall affect the validity of the redemption proceedings with respect to any other Holder. (ii) In the event that fewer than all the outstanding Partnership Preferred Securities are to be redeemed, the Partnership Preferred Securities to be redeemed shall be redeemed pro rata provided, that, in the event Partnership Preferred Securities are held in book-entry only form by DTC or its nominee (or any successor Clearing Agency or its nominee), DTC will reduce, in accordance with DTC's customary procedures, the amount of the interest of each Clearing Agency Participant in the Partnership Preferred Securities to be redeemed; provided, that if, as a result of such pro rata redemption, Holders would hold fractional interests in the Partnership Preferred Securities, the General Partner may adjust the amount of the interest of each Holder to be redeemed to avoid such fractional interests. (iii) If the Partnership gives a Redemption Notice (which notice will be irrevocable), then by 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the redemption date, the Partnership (A) if the Partnership Preferred Securities are in book-entry only form with DTC, will deposit irrevocably with DTC funds sufficient to pay the applicable Redemption Price and will give DTC irrevocable instructions and authority to pay the Redemption Price in respect of the Partnership Preferred Securities held through DTC in global form or (B) if the Partnership Preferred Securities are held in certificated form, will deposit with the Paying Agent, funds sufficient to pay the applicable Redemption Price of the amount of any such Partnership Preferred Securities and will give to the Paying Agent irrevocable instructions and authority to pay such amounts to the Holders of Partnership Preferred Securities, upon surrender of their certificates, by check, mailed to the address of the relevant Holder appearing on the books and records of the Partnership on the redemption date; provided, however, that for so long as the Trust or the Property Trustee of the Trust shall hold the Partnership Preferred Securities, payment of cash shall be made by wire in same day funds to the Holder by 12:00 Noon, New York City time, on the redemption date. For these purposes, the applicable Redemption Price shall not include Distributions which are being paid to Holders who were Holders on a relevant record date. Upon satisfaction of the foregoing conditions, then immediately prior to the close of business on the date of such deposit or payment, all rights of Holders of such Partnership Preferred Securities so called for redemption will cease, except the right of the Holders to receive the Redemption Price, but without interest on such Redemption Price, and from and after the date fixed for redemption, such Partnership Preferred Securities will not accumulate Distributions or bear interest. In the event that any date fixed for redemption of Partnership Preferred Securities is not a Business Day, then payment of the Redemption Price payable on such date will be made on the next succeeding Business Day (and without any interest in respect of any such delay), except that, if such Business Day falls in the next calendar year, such payment will be made on the immediately preceding Business Day in each case, with the same force and effect as if made on such date fixed for redemption. In the event that payment of the Redemption Price is improperly withheld or refused and not paid by either the Partnership or the Company pursuant to the Partnership Guarantee, Distributions on the Partnership Preferred Securities called for Redemption will continue to accumulate, to the extent that payment of such interest is legally available, from the original redemption date until the Redemption Price is actually paid. The Partnership shall not be required to register or cause to be registered the transfer of any Partnership Preferred Securities which have been called for redemption.
New Procedures New procedures as to who shall provide certain of these services in Section 1 may be established in writing from time to time by agreement between the Fund and the Transfer Agent. The Transfer Agent may at times perform only a portion of these services and the Fund or its agent may perform these services on the Fund's behalf;
Private Placement Procedures If Counterparty is unable to comply with the provisions of sub-paragraph (ii) of “Agreements and Acknowledgments Regarding Shares” above because of a change in law or a change in the policy of the Securities and Exchange Commission or its staff, or Dealer otherwise determines that in its reasonable opinion any Shares to be delivered to Dealer by Counterparty may not be freely returned by Dealer or its affiliates to securities lenders as described under such sub-paragraph (ii) or otherwise constitute “restricted securities” as defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act, then delivery of any such Shares (the “Restricted Shares”) shall be effected as provided below, unless waived by Dealer. (i) If Counterparty delivers the Restricted Shares pursuant to this clause (i) (a “Private Placement Settlement”), then delivery of Restricted Shares by Counterparty shall be effected in accordance with private placement procedures customary for private placements of equity securities of substantially similar size with respect to such Restricted Shares reasonably acceptable to Dealer; provided that Counterparty may not elect a Private Placement Settlement if, on the date of its election, it has taken, or caused to be taken, any action that would make unavailable either the exemption pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act for the sale by Counterparty to Dealer (or any affiliate designated by Dealer) of the Restricted Shares or the exemption pursuant to Section 4(a)(1) or Section 4(a)(3) of the Securities Act for resales of the Restricted Shares by Dealer (or any such affiliate of Dealer), and if Counterparty fails to deliver the Restricted Shares when due or otherwise fails to perform obligations within its control in respect of a Private Placement Settlement, it shall be an Event of Default with respect to Counterparty and Section 6 of the Agreement shall apply. The Private Placement Settlement of such Restricted Shares shall include customary representations, covenants, blue sky and other governmental filings and/or registrations, indemnities to Dealer, due diligence rights (for Dealer or any designated buyer of the Restricted Shares by Dealer), opinions and certificates, and such other documentation as is customary for private placement agreements of equity securities of a substantially similar size, all reasonably acceptable to Dealer. In the case of a Private Placement Settlement, Dealer shall, in its good faith discretion, adjust the amount of Restricted Shares to be delivered to Dealer hereunder in a commercially reasonable manner to reflect the fact that such Restricted Shares may not be freely returned to securities lenders by Dealer and may only be saleable by Dealer at a discount to reflect the lack of liquidity in Restricted Shares. Notwithstanding the Agreement or this Confirmation, the date of delivery of such Restricted Shares shall be the Clearance System Business Day following notice by Dealer to Counterparty of the number of Restricted Shares to be delivered pursuant to this clause (i). For the avoidance of doubt, delivery of Restricted Shares shall be due as set forth in the previous sentence and not be due on the date that would otherwise be applicable. (ii) If Counterparty delivers any Restricted Shares in respect of this Transaction, Counterparty agrees that (A) such Shares may be transferred by and among Dealer and its affiliates and (B) after the minimum “holding period” within the meaning of Rule 144(d) under the Securities Act has elapsed, Counterparty shall promptly remove, or cause the transfer agent for the Shares to remove, any legends referring to any transfer restrictions from such Shares upon delivery by Dealer (or such affiliate of Dealer) to Counterparty or such transfer agent of any seller’s and broker’s representation letters customarily delivered by Dealer or its affiliates in connection with resales of restricted securities pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act, each without any further requirement for the delivery of any certificate, consent, agreement, opinion of counsel, notice or any other document, any transfer tax stamps or payment of any other amount or any other action by Dealer (or such affiliate of Dealer).
Termination Procedures The Contractor acknowledges that this Agreement may be terminated for Convenience or Default.
Registration/Private Placement Procedures If, in the reasonable good faith judgment of Dealer based on the advice of counsel, following any delivery of Shares or Share Termination Delivery Property to Dealer hereunder, such Shares or Share Termination Delivery Property would be in the hands of Dealer subject to any applicable restrictions with respect to any registration or qualification requirement or prospectus delivery requirement for such Shares or Share Termination Delivery Property pursuant to any applicable federal or state securities law (including, without limitation, any such requirement arising under Section 5 of the Securities Act as a result of such Shares or Share Termination Delivery Property being “restricted securities”, as such term is defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act, or as a result of the sale of such Shares or Share Termination Delivery Property being subject to paragraph (c) of Rule 145 under the Securities Act) (such Shares or Share Termination Delivery Property, “Restricted Shares”), then delivery of such Restricted Shares shall be effected pursuant to either clause (i) or (ii) below at the sole election of Company, unless Dealer waives the need for registration/private placement procedures set forth in (i) and (ii) below. Notwithstanding the foregoing, solely in respect of any Daily Number of Warrants exercised or deemed exercised on any Expiration Date, Company shall elect, prior to the first Settlement Date for the first applicable Expiration Date (or, if later, prior to the second Scheduled Trading Day following the date of notification by Dealer of the need for such settlement procedure), a Private Placement Settlement or Registration Settlement for all deliveries of Restricted Shares for all such Expiration Dates which election shall be applicable to all remaining Settlement Dates for such Warrants and the procedures in clause (i) or clause (ii) below shall apply for all such delivered Restricted Shares on an aggregate basis commencing after the final Settlement Date for such Warrants. The Calculation Agent shall make commercially reasonable adjustments to settlement terms and provisions under this Confirmation to reflect a single Private Placement or Registration Settlement for such aggregate Restricted Shares delivered hereunder. (i) If Company elects to settle the Transaction pursuant to this clause (i) (a “Private Placement Settlement”), then delivery of Restricted Shares by Company shall be effected in customary private placement procedures for private placements of equity securities of companies similar to Company with respect to such Restricted Shares reasonably acceptable to Dealer; provided that Company may not elect a Private Placement Settlement if, on the date of its election, it has taken, or caused to be taken, any action that would make unavailable either the exemption pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act for the sale by Company to Dealer (or any affiliate designated by Dealer) of the Restricted Shares or the exemption pursuant to Section 4(a)(1) or Section 4(a)(3) of the Securities Act for resales of the Restricted Shares by Dealer (or any such affiliate of Dealer). The Private Placement Settlement of such Restricted Shares shall include customary representations, covenants, blue sky and other governmental filings and/or registrations, indemnities to Dealer, due diligence rights (for Dealer or any designated buyer of the Restricted Shares by Dealer), opinions and certificates, and such other documentation, in each case, as is customary for private placements of similar size, all reasonably acceptable to Dealer. In the case of a Private Placement Settlement, Dealer shall determine the appropriate discount to the Share Termination Unit Price (in the case of settlement of Share Termination Delivery Units pursuant to Section 10(i) above) or premium to any Settlement Price (in the case of settlement of Shares pursuant to Section 2 above) applicable to such Restricted Shares in a commercially reasonable manner and appropriately adjust the number of such Restricted Shares to be delivered to Dealer hereunder. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Agreement or this Confirmation, the date of delivery of such Restricted Shares shall be the Exchange Business Day following notice by Dealer to Company of such applicable discount or premium, as the case may be, and the number of Restricted Shares to be delivered pursuant to this clause (i). For the avoidance of doubt, delivery of Restricted Shares shall be due as set forth in the previous sentence and not be due on the Share Termination Payment Date (in the case of settlement of Share Termination Delivery Units pursuant to Section 10(i) above) or on the Settlement Date for such Restricted Shares (in the case of settlement in Shares pursuant to Section 2 above). (ii) If Company elects to settle the Transaction pursuant to this clause (ii) (a “Registration Settlement”), then Company shall promptly (but in any event no later than the beginning of the Resale Period) file and use its reasonable best efforts to make effective under the Securities Act a registration statement or supplement or amend an outstanding registration statement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Dealer, to cover the resale of such Restricted Shares in accordance with customary resale registration procedures, including covenants, conditions, representations, underwriting discounts (if applicable), commissions (if applicable), indemnities due diligence rights, opinions and certificates, and such other documentation as is customary for equity resale underwriting agreements for comparably sized equity offerings by comparably sized companies, all reasonably acceptable to Dealer. If Dealer, in its sole reasonable discretion, is not satisfied with such procedures and documentation Private Placement Settlement shall apply. If Dealer is satisfied with such procedures and documentation, it shall sell the Restricted Shares pursuant to such registration statement during a period (the “Resale Period”) commencing on the Exchange Business Day following delivery of such Restricted Shares (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall be (x) the Share Termination Payment Date in case of settlement in Share Termination Delivery Units pursuant to Section 10(i) above or (y) the Settlement Date in respect of the final Expiration Date for all Daily Number of Warrants) and ending on the Exchange Business Day on which Dealer, acting in a commercially reasonable manner, completes the sale of all Restricted Shares or, in the case of settlement of Share Termination Delivery Units, a sufficient number of Restricted Shares so that the realized net proceeds of such sales equals or exceeds the Payment Obligation (as defined above). If the Payment Obligation exceeds the realized net proceeds from such resale, Company shall transfer to Dealer by the open of the regular trading session on the Exchange on the Exchange Business Day immediately following such resale the amount of such excess (the “Additional Amount”) in cash or in a number of Shares (“Make-whole Shares”) in an amount that, based on the Settlement Price on such day (as if such day was the “Valuation Date” for purposes of computing such Settlement Price), has a dollar value equal to the Additional Amount. The Resale Period shall continue to enable the sale of the Make-whole Shares. If Company elects to pay the Additional Amount in Shares, the requirements and provisions for Registration Settlement shall apply. This provision shall be applied successively until the Additional Amount is equal to zero. In no event shall Company deliver a number of Restricted Shares greater than the Maximum Number of Shares. (iii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Company agrees that (A) any Restricted Shares delivered to Dealer may be transferred by and among Dealer and its affiliates and Company shall effect such transfer without any further action by Dealer and (B) after the period of 6 months from the Trade Date (or 1 year from the Trade Date if, at such time, informational requirements of Rule 144(c) under the Securities Act are not satisfied with respect to Company) has elapsed in respect of any Restricted Shares delivered to Dealer, Company shall promptly remove, or cause the transfer agent for such Restricted Shares to remove, any legends referring to any such restrictions or requirements from such Restricted Shares upon request by Dealer (or such affiliate of Dealer) to Company or such transfer agent, without any requirement for the delivery of any certificate, consent, agreement, opinion of counsel, notice or any other document, any transfer tax stamps or payment of any other amount or any other action by Dealer (or such affiliate of Dealer). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, to the extent the provisions of Rule 144 of the Securities Act or any successor rule are amended, or the applicable interpretation thereof by the Securities and Exchange Commission or any court change after the Trade Date, the agreements of Company herein shall be deemed modified to the extent necessary, in the opinion of outside counsel of Company, to comply with Rule 144 of the Securities Act, as in effect at the time of delivery of the relevant Shares or Share Termination Delivery Property. (iv) If the Private Placement Settlement or the Registration Settlement shall not be effected as set forth in clauses (i) or (ii), as applicable, then failure to effect such Private Placement Settlement or such Registration Settlement shall constitute an Event of Default with respect to which Company shall be the Defaulting Party.
Issuance Procedures By delivering to the Administrative Agent an Issuance Request on or before 12:00 noon, New York City time, on a Business Day, the Borrower may, from time to time irrevocably request, on not less than three nor more than ten Business Days' notice (or such shorter or longer notice as may be acceptable to the Issuer), in the case of an initial issuance of a Letter of Credit, and not less than three nor more than ten Business Days' notice (unless a shorter or longer notice period is acceptable to the Issuer) prior to the then existing Stated Expiry Date of a Letter of Credit, in the case of a request for the extension of the Stated Expiry Date of a Letter of Credit, that the Issuer issue, or extend the Stated Expiry Date of, as the case may be, an irrevocable Letter of Credit on behalf of the Borrower (whether the account party on such Letter of Credit is the Borrower or a Subsidiary of the Borrower) in such form as may be requested by the Borrower and approved by the Issuer, for the purposes described in Section 7.1.9; provided, however, that no extension of the Stated Expiry Date of an outstanding Letter of Credit may provide for a Stated Expiry Date subsequent to the earlier of (i) the Revolving Loan Commitment Termination Date and (ii) one year from the date of such extension. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any separate application for any Letter of Credit, the Borrower hereby acknowledges and agrees that it shall be obligated to reimburse the Issuer upon each Disbursement paid under a Letter of Credit, and it shall be deemed to be the obligor for purposes of each such Letter of Credit issued hereunder (whether the account party on such Letter of Credit is the Borrower or a Subsidiary of the Borrower). Upon receipt of an Issuance Request, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Issuer and each Lender thereof. Each Letter of Credit shall by its terms be stated to expire on a date (its "Stated Expiry Date") no later than the earlier to occur of (i) the Revolving Loan Commitment Termination Date or (ii) one year from the date of its issuance. The Issuer will make available to the beneficiary thereof the original of each Letter of Credit which it issues hereunder.
Purchase and Redemption Procedures (a) The Fund hereby appoints the Company as an agent of the Fund for the limited purpose of receiving purchase and redemption requests on behalf of the Account (but not with respect to any Fund Shares that may be held in the general account of the Company) for Shares of those Designated Portfolios made available hereunder, based on allocations of amounts to the Account or subaccounts thereof under the Contracts and other transactions relating to the Contracts or the Account. Receipt of any such request (or relevant transactional information therefore) on any day the New York Stock Exchange is open for trading and on which the Fund calculates its net asset value pursuant to the rules of the SEC (a "Business Day") by the Company as such limited agent of the Fund prior to the time that the Fund calculates its net asset value as described from time to time in the Fund Prospectus (which as of the date of execution of this Agreement is 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time) shall constitute receipt by the Fund on that same Business Day, provided that the Fund receives notice of such request by 9:30 a.m. Eastern Time on the next following Business Day. (b) The Company shall pay for Shares of each Designated Portfolio on the same day that it notifies the Fund of a purchase request for such Shares. Payment for Designated Portfolio Shares shall be made in federal funds transmitted to the Fund by wire to be received by the Fund by 12:00 p.m. Eastern Time on the same Business Day the Fund is notified of the purchase request for Designated Portfolio Shares pursuant to Section 1.3(a) (unless the Fund determines and so advises the Company that sufficient proceeds are available from redemption of Shares of other Designated Portfolios effected pursuant to redemption requests tendered by the Company on behalf of the Account). If federal funds are not received on time, such funds will be invested, and Designated Portfolio Shares purchased thereby will be issued, as soon as practicable and the Company shall promptly, upon the Fund's request, reimburse the Fund for any charges, costs, fees, interest or other expenses incurred by the Fund in connection with any advances to, or borrowing or overdrafts by, the Fund, or any similar expenses incurred by the Fund, as a result of portfolio transactions effected by the Fund based upon such purchase request. Upon receipt of federal funds so wired, such funds shall cease to be the responsibility of the Company and shall become the responsibility of the Fund. (c) The Fund will redeem Designated Portfolio Shares requested on behalf of the Account, and make payment therefore, in accordance with the provisions of the then current registration statement of the Fund. Payment for Designated Portfolio Shares redeemed by the Account or the Company normally shall be made in federal funds transmitted by wire to the Company or any other designated person on the same Business Day that the Fund is properly notified of the redemption order for such Shares pursuant to Section 1.3(a) (unless redemption proceeds are to be applied to the purchase of Shares of other Designated Portfolios in accordance with Section 1.3(b) of this Agreement). The Fund shall not bear any responsibility whatsoever for the proper disbursement or crediting of redemption proceeds by the Company, the Company alone shall be responsible for such action. (d) Any purchase or redemption request for Designated Portfolio Shares held or to be held in the Company's general account shall be effected at the net asset value per share next determined after the Fund's receipt of such request, provided that, in the case of a purchase request, payment for Fund Shares so requested is received by the Fund in federal funds prior to close of business for determination of such value, as defined from time to time in the Fund Prospectus.
