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.
Offering of Securities Neither the Company nor any person acting on its behalf has taken any action (including any offering of any securities of the Company under circumstances which would require the integration of such offering with the offering of any of the Preferred Shares under the Securities Act, and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) promulgated thereunder), which might subject the offering, issuance or sale of any of the Preferred Shares to Treasury pursuant to this Agreement to the registration requirements of the Securities Act.
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.
Valid Issuance of Securities The Forward Purchase Shares, when issued, sold and delivered in accordance with the terms and for the consideration set forth in this Agreement, will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, as applicable, and free of all preemptive or similar rights, taxes, liens, encumbrances and charges with respect to the issue thereof and restrictions on transfer other than restrictions on transfer specified under this Agreement, applicable state and federal securities laws and liens or encumbrances created by or imposed by the Purchaser. Assuming the accuracy of the representations of the Purchaser in this Agreement and subject to the filings described in Section 3(e) below, the Forward Purchase Shares will be issued in compliance with all applicable federal and state securities laws.
Lending of Securities If the Fund is permitted by the terms of its organization documents and as disclosed in its Prospectus to lend securities, within 24 hours after each loan of Securities, the Fund shall deliver to the Custodian a Certificate specifying with respect to each such loan: (a) the Series to which the Securities to be loaned are specifically allocated; (b) the name of the issuer and the title of the Securities; (c) the number of shares or the principal amount loaned; (d) the date of loan and delivery; (e) the total amount to be delivered to the Custodian, and specifically allocated against the loan of the Securities, including the amount of cash collateral and the premium, if any, separately identified; and (f) the name of the broker, dealer or financial institution to which the loan was made. Promptly after each termination of a loan of Securities, the Fund shall deliver to the Custodian a Certificate specifying with respect to each such loan termination and return of Securities: (a) the Series to which the Securities to be returned are specifically allocated; (b) the name of the issuer and the title of the Securities to be returned; (c) the number of shares or the principal amount to be returned; (d) the date of termination; (e) the total amount to be delivered by the Custodian (including the cash collateral for such Securities minus any offsetting credits as described in said Certificate); and (f) the name of the broker, dealer or financial institution from which the Securities will be returned. The Custodian shall receive all Securities returned from the broker, dealer or financial institution to which such Securities were loaned and upon receipt thereof shall pay the total amount payable upon such return of Securities as set forth in the Certificate. Securities returned to the Custodian shall be held as they were prior to such loan.
Issuance of Securities The Convertible Debentures are duly authorized and, upon issuance in accordance with the terms hereof, shall be duly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, are free from all taxes, liens and charges with respect to the issue thereof. The Conversion Shares issuable upon conversion of the Convertible Debentures have been duly authorized and reserved for issuance. Upon conversion or exercise in accordance with the Convertible Debentures the Conversion Shares will be duly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.
Replacement of Securities If any certificate or instrument evidencing any Securities is mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, the Company shall issue or cause to be issued in exchange and substitution for and upon cancellation thereof (in the case of mutilation), or in lieu of and substitution therefor, a new certificate or instrument, but only upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of such loss, theft or destruction. The applicant for a new certificate or instrument under such circumstances shall also pay any reasonable third-party costs (including customary indemnity) associated with the issuance of such replacement 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.
Conversion of Securities At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of Merger Sub, the Company or the holders of any of the following securities:
(a) each share of common stock, no par value (the "Company Common Stock"; all issued and outstanding shares of the Company Common Stock being collectively referred to as the "Shares"), and the Series A convertible preferred stock (the "Company Preferred Stock"; all issued and outstanding shares of the Company Preferred Stock being collectively referred to as the "Preferred Shares"), of the Company issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, other than any Shares or Preferred Shares to be cancelled pursuant to Section 3.03(b) and other than any Dissenting Shares, shall be cancelled and shall be converted automatically into the right to receive an amount equal to $2.00 in cash (the "Merger Consideration") payable without interest to the holder of such Share or Preferred Share, upon surrender, in the manner provided in Section 3.04 hereof, of the Certificate that formerly evidenced such Share or Preferred Share. All such Shares and Preferred Shares when so converted shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be cancelled and retired and shall cease to exist, and each holder of a Certificate representing any such Shares or Preferred Shares shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive the Merger Consideration therefor upon the surrender of such Certificate in accordance with Section 3.04 hereof, without interest;
