2. Upon receipt of such money, Custodian shall credit such money to an Account in the name of the Fund for which such money was received.
3. Except as provided hereinafter, whenever the Fund desires Custodian to make payment out of the money held by Custodian hereunder in connection with a redemption of any Shares, it shall furnish to Custodian a Certificate or Instructions specifying the total amount to be paid for such Shares. Custodian shall make payment of such total amount to the transfer agent specified in such Certificate or Instructions out of the money held in an Account of the appropriate Fund.
4. Notwithstanding the above provisions regarding the redemption of any Shares, whenever any Shares are redeemed pursuant to any check redemption privilege which may from time to time be offered by the Fund, Custodian, unless otherwise instructed by a Certificate or Instructions, shall, upon presentment of such check;, charge the amount thereof against the money held in the Account of the Fund of the Shares being redeemed, provided, that if the Fund or its agent timely advises Custodian that such check is not to be honored, Custodian shall return such check unpaid.
Redemption of Shares PNC shall process requests to redeem Shares as follows:
(i) All requests to transfer or redeem Shares and payment therefor shall be made in accordance with the Fund’s prospectus, when the shareholder tenders Shares in proper form, accompanied by such documents as PNC reasonably may deem necessary.
(ii) PNC reserves the right to refuse to transfer or redeem Shares until it is satisfied that the endorsement on the instructions is valid and genuine and that the requested transfer or redemption is legally authorized, and it shall incur no liability for the refusal to process transfers or redemptions that PNC, in its judgment, deems improper or unauthorized, or until it is reasonably satisfied that there is no basis to any claims adverse to such transfer or redemption.
(iii) When Shares are redeemed, PNC shall deliver to the Fund’s custodian (the “Custodian”) and the Fund or its designee a notification setting forth the number of Shares redeemed. Such redeemed Shares shall be reflected on appropriate accounts maintained by PNC reflecting outstanding Shares of the Fund and Shares attributed to individual accounts.
(iv) PNC shall, upon receipt of the monies provided to it by the Custodian for the redemption of Shares, pay such monies as are received from the Custodian, all in accordance with the procedures established from time to time between PNC and the Fund.
(v) When a broker-dealer notifies PNC of a redemption desired by a customer, and the Custodian provides PNC with funds, PNC shall prepare and send the redemption proceeds to the broker-dealer on behalf of its customer, unless otherwise instructed in writing by the broker-dealer.
(vi) PNC shall not process or effect any redemption requests with respect to Shares of the Fund after receipt by PNC or its agent of notification of the suspension of the determination of the net asset value of the Fund.
Redemption of Stock Whenever the Company shall elect to redeem shares of Stock, it shall (unless otherwise agreed in writing with the Depositary) give the Depositary not less than 60 days’ notice of the date of such proposed redemption and of the number of such shares of Stock held by the Depositary to be so redeemed and the applicable redemption price. The Depositary shall mail, first-class postage prepaid, notice of the redemption of Stock and the proposed simultaneous redemption of Depositary Shares representing the Stock to be redeemed, promptly upon receipt of the Company’s notice to redeem shares of Stock and not less than 30 and not more than 60 days prior to the date fixed for redemption of such Stock and Depositary Shares, to the record holders of the Depositary Receipts evidencing the Depositary Shares to be so redeemed, at the addresses of such holders as the same appear on the records of the Depositary. Any such notice shall also be published in the same manner as notices of redemption of the Stock are required to be published by the Company. On the date of such redemption, the Depositary shall redeem the number of Depositary Shares representing such redeemed Stock; provided, that the Company shall then have paid or caused to be paid in full to the Depositary the redemption price of the Stock to be redeemed, plus any accrued and unpaid dividends payable with respect thereto to the date of any such redemption. In case fewer than all the outstanding Depositary Shares are to be redeemed, the Depositary Shares to be redeemed shall be determined pro rata or by lot in a manner determined by the Board of Directors of the Company. Notice having been mailed as aforesaid, from and after the Redemption Date (unless the Company shall have failed to provide the funds necessary to redeem the shares of Stock evidenced by the Depositary Shares called for redemption), dividends on the shares of Stock so called for redemption shall cease to accrue, the Depositary Shares called for redemption shall be deemed no longer to be outstanding and all rights of the holders of Depositary Receipts evidencing such Depositary Shares (except the right to receive the redemption price) shall, to the extent of such Depositary Shares, cease and terminate. Upon surrender in accordance with said notice of the Depositary Receipts evidencing such Depositary Shares (properly endorsed or assigned for transfer, if the Depositary or applicable law shall so require), such Depositary Shares shall be redeemed at a redemption price per Depositary Share equal to the same fraction of the redemption price per share paid with respect to the shares of Stock as the fraction each Depositary Share represents of a share of Stock plus the same fraction of all money and other property, if any, represented by such Depositary Shares, including all amounts paid by the Company in respect of dividends which on the Redemption Date have accumulated on the shares of Stock to be so redeemed and have not theretofore been paid. The foregoing is subject further to the terms and conditions of the Certificate of Determination. If fewer than all of the Depositary Shares evidenced by this Depositary Receipt are called for redemption, the Depositary will deliver to the holder of this Depositary Receipt upon its surrender to the Depositary, together with the redemption payment, a new Depositary Receipt evidencing the Depositary Shares evidenced by such prior Depositary Receipt and not called for redemption.
Voting and Redemption of Shares Subscriber agrees to vote the Shares in favor of an initial business combination that the Company negotiates and submits for approval to the Company’s stockholders and shall not seek redemption with respect to such Shares. Additionally, the Subscriber agrees not to redeem any Shares in connection with a redemption or tender offer presented to the Company’s stockholders in connection with an initial business combination negotiated by the Company.
Purchase and Redemption of Fund Shares 1.1 The Fund and the Underwriter agree to sell to the Company those shares of the Portfolios which the Company orders on behalf of any Separate Account, executing such orders on a daily basis at the net asset value next computed after receipt and acceptance by the Fund or its designee of such order. For purposes of this Section, the Company shall be the designee of the Fund for receipt of such orders from each Separate Account. Receipt by such designee shall constitute receipt by the Fund; provided that the Fund or the Underwriter receives notice of such order via the National Securities Clearing Corporation (the "NSCC") by 9:00 a.m. Eastern Time on the next following Business Day. The Fund will receive all orders to purchase Portfolio shares using the NSCC's Defined Contribution Clearance & Settlement ("DCC&S") platform. The Fund will also provide the Company with account positions and activity data using the NSCC's Networking platform. The Company shall pay for Portfolio shares by the scheduled close of federal funds transmissions on the same Business Day it places an order to purchase Portfolio shares in accordance with this section using the NSCC's Fund/SERV System. Payment shall be in federal funds transmitted by wire from the Fund's designated Settling Bank to the NSCC. "BUSINESS DAY" shall mean any day on which the New York Stock Exchange is open for trading and on which the Fund calculates it net asset value pursuant to the rules of the SEC. "NETWORKING" shall mean the NSCC's product that allows Fund's and Companies to exchange account level information electronically. "SETTLING BANK" shall mean the entity appointed by the Fund to perform such settlement services on behalf of the Fund and agrees to abide by the NSCC's Rules and Procedures insofar as they relate to the same day funds settlement. If the Company is somehow prohibited from submitting purchase and settlement instructions to the Fund for Portfolio shares via the NSCC's DCC&S platform the following shall apply to this Section:
