Payment for Shares repurchased may be made by a Fund to the Distributor for the account of the shareholder. The Distributor shall be responsible for the accuracy of instructions transmitted to the Fund's transfer agent in connection with all such repurchases.
(f) Redemption of its Shares or payment by a Fund may be suspended at times when the New York Stock Exchange is closed, when trading on said Exchange is restricted, when an emergency exists as a result of which disposal by a Fund of securities owned by it is not reasonably practicable or it is not reasonably practicable for a Fund fairly to determine the value of its net assets, or during any other period when the SEC, by order, so permits.
(g) With respect to its Shares tendered for redemption or repurchase by any Selected Dealer on behalf of its customers, the Distributor is authorized to instruct the transfer agent of a Fund to accept orders for redemption or repurchase directly from the Selected Dealer on behalf of the Distributor and to instruct the Fund to transmit payments for such redemptions and repurchases directly to the Selected Dealer on behalf of the Distributor for the account of the shareholder.

10.02 In respect of any Covered Bonds to which Condition 6.07 applies or which carries any other right of redemption or other right exercisable at the option of the Holders of such Covered Bonds, the Issuer will provide the Paying Agents or, in the case of Registered Covered Bonds, the Registrar with copies of the form of the current redemption notice or exercise notice and the Paying Agents or, as the case may be, the Registrar will make available forms of the current redemption notice or exercise notice to Holders of Covered Bonds upon request during usual business hours at their respective specified offices. Upon receipt of any Covered Bond deposited in the exercise of such option, the Paying Agent or, in the case of Registered Covered Bonds, the Registrar with which such Covered Bond is deposited shall hold such Covered Bond (together with, in the case of a Definitive Covered Bond, any Receipts and/or Coupons relating to it deposited with it) on behalf of the depositing Holder of such Covered Bond (but shall not, save as provided below, release it) until the due date for redemption of the relevant Covered Bond consequent upon the exercise of such option, or, as the case may be, the date upon which the exercise of such option takes effect when, in the case of redemption and subject as provided below, it shall present such Covered Bond (and any such Receipts and/or Coupons) to itself for payment in accordance with the Conditions and shall pay such moneys in accordance with the directions of the Holder of the Covered Bond contained in the relevant redemption notice. In the case of an exercise of any other option, the relevant Paying Agent or, in the case of Registered Covered Bonds, the Registrar, shall take such steps as may be required to be taken by it in the Conditions. If, prior to such due date for its redemption or the date upon which the exercise of such option takes effect, an Event of Default occurs in respect of such Covered Bond or if upon due presentation payment of such redemption moneys is improperly withheld or refused, the Paying Agent concerned or, as the case may be, the Registrar shall, without prejudice to the exercise of such option, mail such Covered Bond (together with any such Receipts and/or Coupons) by uninsured post to, and at the risk of, the Holder of the relevant Covered Bond at such address as may have been given by such Holder in the relevant redemption notice.

Purchase and Redemption of Trust Portfolio Shares 3.1 We will make shares of the Portfolios available to the Accounts for the benefit of the Contracts. The shares will be available for purchase at the net asset value per share next computed after we (or our agent) receive a purchase order, as established in accordance with the provisions of the then current prospectus of the Trust. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Trust's Board of Trustees ("Trustees") may refuse to sell shares of any Portfolio to any person, or may suspend or terminate the offering of shares of any Portfolio if such action is required by law or by regulatory authorities having jurisdiction or if, in the sole discretion of the Trustees, acting in good faith and in light of their fiduciary duties under federal and any applicable state laws, they deem such action to be in the best interests of the shareholders of such Portfolio.
3.2 We agree that shares of the Trust will be sold only to life insurance companies which have entered into fund participation agreements with the Trust ("Participating Insurance Companies") and their separate accounts or to qualified pension and retirement plans in accordance with the terms of the Shared Funding Order. No shares of any Portfolio will be sold to the general public.
3.3 You shall be the designee for us for receipt of purchase orders and requests for redemption resulting from investment in and payments under the Contracts ("Instructions"). The Business Day on which such Instructions are received in proper form by you by the close of trading will be the date as of which Portfolio shares shall be deemed purchased, exchanged, or redeemed as a result of such Instructions, provided you transmit such instructions to us no later than 9:30 a.m. Eastern Time on the next Business Day. Instructions received in proper form by you after the close of trading on any given Business Day shall be treated as if received on the next following Business Day. Instructions we receive from you after 9:30 a.m. Eastern Time shall be processed on the next Business Day. "Business Day" shall mean any day on which the New York Stock Exchange is open for trading and on which the Trust calculates its net asset value pursuant to the rules of the SEC and its current prospectus.
Repurchase and Redemption Upon timely receipt of notice from the Company that it intends to repurchase or exercise its right of redemption in respect of any of the Deposited Securities, and satisfactory documentation, and only if the Depositary shall have determined that such proposed repurchase or redemption is practicable, the Depositary shall (to the extent practicable) provide to each relevant Holder a notice setting forth the Company’s intention to exercise the repurchase or redemption rights and any other particulars set forth in the Company’s notice to the Depositary. The Depositary shall instruct the Custodian to present to the Company the Deposited Securities in respect of which repurchase or redemption rights are being exercised against payment of the applicable repurchase or redemption price. Upon receipt of confirmation from the Custodian that the repurchase or redemption has taken place and that funds representing the repurchase or redemption price have been received, the Depositary shall convert, transfer, and distribute the proceeds (net of applicable (a) fees and charges of, and the expenses incurred by, the Depositary, and (b) taxes), retire ADSs and cancel ADRs, if applicable, upon delivery of such ADSs by Holders thereof and the terms set forth in Sections 4.1 and 6.2 of the Deposit Agreement. If less than all outstanding Deposited Securities are repurchased or redeemed, the ADSs to be retired will be selected by lot or on a pro rata basis, as may be determined by the Depositary. The repurchase or redemption price per ADS shall be the dollar equivalent of the per share amount received by the Depositary (adjusted to reflect the ADS(s)-to-Share(s) ratio) upon the repurchase or redemption of the Deposited Securities represented by ADSs (subject to the terms of Section 4.8 of the Deposit Agreement and the applicable fees and charges of, and expenses incurred by, the Depositary, and taxes) multiplied by the number of Deposited Securities represented by each ADS repurchased or redeemed. Notwithstanding anything contained in the Deposit Agreement to the contrary, in the event the Company fails to give the Depositary timely notice of the proposed repurchase or redemption provided for above, the Depositary agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to perform the actions contemplated in Section 4.7 of the Deposit Agreement, and the Company, the Holders and the Beneficial Owners acknowledge that the Depositary shall have no liability for the Depositary’s failure to perform the actions contemplated in Section 4.7 of the Deposit Agreement where such notice has not been so timely given, other than its failure to use commercially reasonable efforts, as provided herein.
