Pricing of Securities A. For each valuation date, USBFS shall obtain prices from a pricing source recommended by USBFS and approved by the Board of Trustees and apply those prices to the portfolio positions of the Fund. For those securities where market quotations are not readily available, the Board of Trustees shall approve, in good faith, procedures for determining the fair value for such securities. If the Trust desires to provide a price that varies from the price provided by the pricing source, the Trust shall promptly notify and supply USBFS with the price of any such security on each valuation date. All pricing changes made by the Trust will be in writing and must specifically identify the securities to be changed by CUSIP, name of security, new price or rate to be applied, and, if applicable, the time period for which the new price(s) is/are effective.
B. In the event that the Trust at any time receives Data containing evaluations, rather than market quotations, for certain securities or certain other data related to such securities, the following provisions will apply: (i) evaluated securities are typically complicated financial instruments. There are many methodologies (including computer-based analytical modeling and individual security evaluations) available to generate approximations of the market value of such securities, and there is significant professional disagreement about which method is best. No evaluation method, including those used by USBFS and its suppliers, may consistently generate approximations that correspond to actual “traded” prices of the securities; (ii) methodologies used to provide the pricing portion of certain Data may rely on evaluations; however, the Trust acknowledges that there may be errors or defects in the software, databases, or methodologies generating the evaluations that may cause resultant evaluations to be inappropriate for use in certain applications; and (iii) the Trust assumes all responsibility for edit checking, external verification of evaluations, and ultimately the appropriateness of using Data containing evaluations, regardless of any efforts made by USBFS and its suppliers in this respect.
Rating of Securities The Company shall take all reasonable action necessary to enable Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services, a division of McGraw Hill, Inc. (“S&P”), and Xxxxx’x Investors Service Inc. (“Moody’s”) to provide their respective credit ratings of the Securities.
Listing of Securities The Company agrees, (i) if the Company applies to have the Common Stock traded on any other Trading Market, it will include in such application the Shares and Warrant Shares, and will take such other action as is necessary or desirable to cause the Shares and Warrant Shares to be listed on such other Trading Market as promptly as possible, and (ii) it will take all action reasonably necessary to continue the listing and trading of its Common Stock on a Trading Market and will comply in all material respects with the Company’s reporting, filing and other obligations under the bylaws or rules of the Trading Market.
Investment of Security Funds Any moneys held by Lessor as security hereunder for future payments to Lessee at a time when there is not continuing an Event of Default shall, until paid to Lessee, be invested by Lessor or, if the Trust Indenture shall not have been discharged, by the Indenture Trustee, as the case may be, as Lessee may from time to time direct in writing (and in absence of a written direction by Lessee, there shall be no obligation to invest such moneys) in (i) direct obligations of the United States of America and agencies guaranteed by the United States government having a final maturity of ninety (90) days or less from date of purchase thereof; (ii) certificates of deposit issued by, bankers' acceptances of, or time deposits with, any bank, trust company or national banking association incorporated under the laws of the United States of America or one of the states thereof having combined capital and surplus and retained earnings as of its last report of condition of at least $500,000,000 and having a rating of Aa or better by Xxxxx'x Investors Service, Inc. ("Moody's") or AA or better by Standard & Poor's Corporation ("S&P") and having a final maturity of ninety (90) days or less from date of purchase thereof; and (iii) commercial paper of any holding company of a bank, trust company or national banking association described in (ii) and commercial paper of any corporation or finance company incorporated or doing business under the laws of the United States of America or any state thereof having a rating assigned to such commercial paper of A1 by S&P or P1 by Moody's and having a final maturity of ninety (90) days or less from the date of purchase thereof; provided, however, that the aggregate amount at any one time so invested in certificates of deposit issued by any one bank shall not be in excess of 5% of such bank's capital and surplus. There shall be promptly remitted to Lessee or its order (but no more frequently than monthly) any gain (including interest received) realized as a result of any such investment (net of any fees, commissions and other expenses, if any, incurred in connection with such investment) unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing. Lessee shall be responsible for any net loss realized as a result of any such investment and shall reimburse Lessor (or the Indenture Trustee, as the case may be) therefor on demand.
Delivery of Securities After Closing The Company shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, the respective Securities purchased by each Purchaser to such Purchaser within 3 Trading Days of the Closing Date.
Voting of Securities As long as no Event of Default exists, Debtor is entitled to exercise all voting Rights pertaining to any Pledged Securities and Partnership/Limited Liability Company Interests; provided however, that no vote shall be cast or consent, waiver, or ratification given or action taken without the prior written consent of Secured Party which would be inconsistent with or violate any provision of this Security Agreement or any other Loan Document; and provided further that Debtor shall give Secured Party at least five Business Days’ prior written notice in the form of an officers’ certificate of the manner in which it intends to exercise, or the reasons for refraining from exercising, any voting or other consensual Rights pertaining to the Collateral or any part thereof which might have a Material Adverse Effect on the value of the Collateral or any part thereof. If an Event of Default exists and if Secured Party elects to exercise such Right, the Right to vote any Pledged Securities shall be vested exclusively in Secured Party. To this end, Debtor hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints Secured Party the proxy and attorney-in-fact of Debtor, with full power of substitution, to vote, and to act with respect to, any and all Collateral that is Pledged Securities standing in the name of Debtor or with respect to which Debtor is entitled to vote and act, subject to the understanding that such proxy may not be exercised unless an Event of Default exists. The proxy herein granted is coupled with an interest, is irrevocable, and shall continue until the Obligations have been paid and performed in full.

(a) the Custodian may hold Domestic Securities of the Fund in the Depository Trust Company or the Federal Reserve's book entry system or, upon receipt of Proper Instructions, in another Securities System provided that such securities are held in an account of the Custodian in the Securities System ("Securities System Account") which shall not include any assets of the Custodian other than assets held as a fiduciary, custodian or otherwise for customers;
(b) the records of the Custodian with respect to Domestic Securities of the Fund which are maintained in a Securities System shall identify by book-entry those Domestic Securities belonging to the Fund;
(c) the Custodian shall pay for Domestic Securities purchased for the account of the Fund upon (i) receipt of advice from the Securities System that such securities have been transferred to the Securities System Account, and (ii) the making of an entry on the records of the Custodian to reflect such payment and transfer for the account of the Fund. The Custodian shall transfer Domestic Securities sold for the account of the Fund upon (A) receipt of advice from the Securities System that payment for such securities has been transferred to the Securities System Account, and (B) the making of an entry on the records of the Custodian to reflect such transfer and payment for the account of the Fund.

PURCHASE AND SALE OF SECURITIES; CREDITS TO ACCOUNT 1. Promptly after each purchase or sale of Securities by the Fund, the Fund shall deliver to Custodian a Certificate or Instructions, or with respect to a purchase or sale of a Security generally required to be settled on the same day the purchase or sale is made, Oral Instructions specifying all information Custodian may reasonably request to settle such purchase or sale. Custodian shall account for all purchases and sales of Securities on the actual settlement date unless otherwise agreed by Custodian.
2. The Fund understands that when Custodian is instructed to deliver Securities against payment, delivery of such Securities and receipt of payment therefor may not be completed simultaneously. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, settlements, payments and deliveries of Securities may be effected by Custodian or any Subcustodian in accordance with the customary or established securities trading or securities processing practices and procedures in the jurisdiction in which the transaction occurs, including, without limitation, delivery to a purchaser or dealer therefor (or agent) against receipt with the expectation of receiving later payment for such Securities. The Fund assumes full responsibility for all risks, including, without limitation, credit risks, involved in connection with such deliveries of Securities.
3. Custodian may, as a matter of bookkeeping convenience or by separate agreement with the Fund, credit the Account with the proceeds from the sale, redemption or other disposition of Securities or interest, dividends or other distributions payable on Securities prior to its actual receipt of final payment therefor. All such credits shall be conditional until Custodian's actual receipt of final payment and may be reversed by Custodian to the extent that final payment is not received. Payment with respect to a transaction will not be "final" until Custodian shall have received immediately available funds which under applicable local law, rule and/or practice are irreversible and not subject to any security interest, levy or other encumbrance, and which are specifically applicable to such transaction.
