Repurchase of Receivables Upon Breach Upon the occurrence of a Repurchase Event, Seller shall, unless the breach which is the subject of such Repurchase Event shall have been cured in all material respects, repurchase the Receivable relating thereto from the Issuer if and only if the interests of the Noteholders therein are materially and adversely affected by any such breach and, simultaneously with the repurchase of the Receivable, Seller shall deposit the Purchase Amount in full, without deduction or offset, to the Collection Account, pursuant to Section 3.2 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement. It is understood and agreed that, except as set forth in Section 6.1 hereof, the obligation of Seller to repurchase any Receivable, as to which a breach occurred and is continuing, shall, if such obligation is fulfilled, constitute the sole remedy against Seller for such breach available to Purchaser, the Issuer, the Noteholders, the Certificateholder, the Trust Collateral Agent on behalf of the Noteholders or the Owner Trustee on behalf of the Certificateholder. The provisions of this Section 5.1 are intended to grant the Issuer and the Trust Collateral Agent a direct right against Seller to demand performance hereunder, and in connection therewith, Seller waives any requirement of prior demand against Purchaser with respect to such repurchase obligation. Furthermore, any Person who may request that any Receivable be repurchased by the Seller or the Purchaser in accordance with Section 3.2 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement may request that the Seller repurchase the related Receivable due to the occurrence of a Repurchase Event, in the same manner that it would request such repurchase pursuant to Section 3.2 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement. Any repurchase hereunder shall take place in the manner specified in Section 3.2 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or the Sale and Servicing Agreement to the contrary, the obligation of Seller under this Section shall not terminate upon a termination of Seller as Servicer under the Sale and Servicing Agreement and shall be performed in accordance with the terms hereof notwithstanding the failure of the Servicer or Purchaser to perform any of their respective obligations with respect to such Receivable under the Sale and Servicing Agreement. In addition to the foregoing and notwithstanding whether the related Receivable shall have been purchased by Seller, Seller shall indemnify the Issuer, the Trust Collateral Agent, the Trustee, the Owner Trustee, the Noteholders and the Certificateholder from and against all costs, expenses, losses, damages, claims and liabilities, including reasonable fees and expenses of counsel, which may be asserted against or incurred by any of them as a result of third party claims arising out of the events or facts giving rise to such Repurchase Events.
Procedure for transfer (a) Subject to the conditions set out in sub-clauses (c) and (d), a transfer is effected in accordance with sub-clause (b) below when the Existing Lender and the New Lender execute a duly completed Transfer Certificate or any other form of document agreed between them.
(b) On the Transfer Date:
(i) to the extent that in the Transfer Certificate the Existing Lender seeks to transfer by novation its rights and obligations under the Finance Documents each of the Obligors and the Existing Lender shall be released from further obligations towards one another under the Finance Documents and their respective rights against one another shall be cancelled (being the “Discharged Rights and Obligations”);
(ii) each of the Obligors and the New Lender shall assume obligations towards one another and/or acquire rights against one another which differ from the Discharged Rights and Obligations only insofar as that Obligor and the New Lender have assumed and/or acquired the same in place of that Obligor and the Existing Lender;
(iii) the New Lender shall acquire the same rights and assume the same obligations as it would have acquired and assumed had the New Lender been the Existing Lender with the rights and/or obligations acquired or assumed by it as a result of the transfer and to that extent the Existing Lender shall be released from further obligations under this Agreement; and
(iv) the New Lender shall become a Party as a “Lender”.
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:
Limitation on the Authority of the Manager to Purchase and Sell Securities for the Account of Certain Underwriters Notwithstanding any provision of this AAU authorizing the Manager to purchase or sell any Securities or Other Securities (including arranging for the sale of Contract Securities) or over-allot in arranging sales of Securities for the accounts of the several Underwriters, the Manager may not, in connection with the Offering of any Securities, make any such purchases, sales, and/or over-allotments for the account of any Underwriter that, not later than its acceptance of the Invitation Wire relating to such Offering, has advised the Manager that, due to its status as, or relationship to, a bank or bank holding company such purchases, sales, and/or over-allotments are prohibited by applicable law. If any Underwriter so advises the Manager, the Manager may allocate any such purchases, sales, and over-allotments (and the related expenses) which otherwise would have been allocated to your account based on your respective Underwriting Percentage to your account based on the ratio of your Original Underwriting Obligation to the Original Underwriting Obligations of all Underwriters other than the advising Underwriter or Underwriters, or in such other manner as the Manager will determine.
Procedure upon Purchase The Company shall deposit cash (in respect of a cash purchase under Section 3.08(c) or for fractional interests, as applicable) or shares of Common Stock, or a combination thereof, as applicable, at the time and in the manner as provided in Section 3.11, sufficient to pay the aggregate Purchase Price of all Securities to be purchased pursuant to this Section 3.08. As soon as practicable after the Purchase Date, the Company shall deliver to each Holder entitled to receive Common Stock through the Paying Agent, a certificate for the number of full shares of Common Stock issuable in payment of the Purchase Price and cash in lieu of any fractional interests. The person in whose name the certificate for Common Stock is registered shall be treated as a holder of record of shares of Common Stock on the Business Day following the Purchase Date. Subject to Section 3.08(d), no payment or adjustment will be made for dividends on the Common Stock the record date for which occurred on or prior to the Purchase Date.
CDSCs Related to the Redemption of Omnibus Shares CDSCs in respect of the redemption of Omnibus Shares shall be allocated to the Distributor or a Successor Distributor in the same proportion that CDSCs related to the redemption of Non-Omnibus Commission Shares are allocated to each thereof; provided, that if the Distributor reasonably determines that the transfer agent is able to produce monthly reports which track the Date of Original Issuance for the Omnibus Shares, then the CDSCs in respect of the redemption of Omnibus Shares shall be allocated among the Distributor and any Successor Distributor depending on whether the related redeemed Omnibus Share is attributable to the Distributor or a Successor Distributor, as the case may be, in accordance with Part I above.
Procedure for Closing If Buyer shall not timely elect to terminate this Contract under Section 13.2 above, or if the loss, damage or condemnation is not substantial, Seller agrees to pay to Buyer at the Closing all insurance proceeds or condemnation awards which Seller has received as a result of the same, plus an amount equal to the insurance deductible, and assign to Buyer all insurance proceeds and condemnation awards payable as a result of the same, in which event the Closing shall occur without Seller replacing or repairing such damage. In the case of damage or casualty, at Buyer’s election, Seller shall repair and restore the Property to its condition immediately prior to such damage or casualty and shall assign to Buyer all excess insurance proceeds.
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 at Option of Holders Upon a Fundamental Change (a) If a Fundamental Change occurs at any time prior to the Maturity Date, each Holder shall have the right, at such Holder’s option, to require the Company to repurchase for cash all of such Holder’s Notes, or any portion of the principal amount thereof that is equal to $1,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000, on the date (the “Fundamental Change Repurchase Date”) specified by the Company that is not less than 20 Business Days or more than 35 Business Days following the date of the Fundamental Change Company Notice at a repurchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but excluding, the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date (the “Fundamental Change Repurchase Price”), unless the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date falls after a Regular Record Date but on or prior to the Interest Payment Date to which such Regular Record Date relates, in which case the Company shall instead pay the full amount of accrued and unpaid interest to Holders of record as of such Regular Record Date, and the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price shall be equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be repurchased pursuant to this Article XIV.
(b) Repurchases of Notes under this Section 14.01 shall be made, at the option of the Holder thereof, upon:
(i) delivery to the Paying Agent by a Holder of a duly completed notice (the “Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice”) in the form set forth in Attachment 2 to the Form of Note attached to this Indenture as Exhibit A, if the Notes are Physical Notes, or in compliance with the Depositary’s procedures for surrendering interests in Global Notes, if the Notes are Global Notes, in each case on or before the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date (subject to postponement to comply with changes in applicable law after the date of this Indenture); and
(ii) delivery of the Notes to be repurchased, if the Notes are Physical Notes, to the Paying Agent at any time after delivery of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice (together with all necessary endorsements for transfer) at the Corporate Trust Office of the Paying Agent, or book-entry transfer of the Notes, if the Notes are Global Notes, in compliance with the procedures of the Depositary, in each case such delivery being a condition to receipt by the Holder of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price therefor. The Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice in respect of any Notes to be repurchased shall state:
(iii) the certificate numbers of the Notes to be delivered for repurchase;
(iv) the portion of the principal amount of Notes to be repurchased, which must be $1,000 or an integral multiple thereof; and
(v) that the Notes are to be repurchased by the Company pursuant to the applicable provisions of the Notes and this Indenture. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the two preceding sentences, if the Notes are Global Notes, then the Holder must instead comply with the applicable Depositary procedures to exercise the Fundamental Change repurchase right. Notwithstanding anything in this Indenture to the contrary, a Holder that has exercised its Fundamental Change repurchase right with respect to any Note may withdraw such exercise in accordance with Section 14.02. The Paying Agent shall promptly notify the Company of the receipt by it of any Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice or written notice of withdrawal thereof or any corresponding exercise or withdrawal pursuant to the applicable Depositary procedures.
(c) On or before the 20th calendar day after the occurrence of a Fundamental Change, the Company shall provide to all Holders and the Trustee and the Paying Agent (in the case of a Paying Agent other than the Trustee) a written notice (the “Fundamental Change Company Notice”) of the occurrence of the Fundamental Change and of the repurchase right at the option of the Holders arising as a result thereof. In the case of Physical Notes, such notice shall be by first class mail or, in the case of Global Notes, such notice shall be delivered in accordance with the applicable procedures of the Depositary. Each Fundamental Change Company Notice shall specify:
(i) the events causing the Fundamental Change;
(ii) the effective date of the Fundamental Change;
(iii) the last date on which a Holder may exercise the repurchase right pursuant to this Article XIV;
(iv) the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price;
(v) the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date;
(vi) the name and address of the Paying Agent and the Conversion Agent, if applicable;
(vii) if applicable, the Conversion Rate and any adjustments to the Conversion Rate as a result of the Fundamental Change;
(viii) that the Notes with respect to which a Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice has been delivered by a Holder may be converted only if the Holder withdraws the Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice in accordance with the terms of this Indenture; and
(ix) the procedures that Holders must follow to require the Company to repurchase their Notes. No failure of the Company to give the foregoing notices and no defect therein shall limit the Holders’ repurchase rights or affect the validity of the proceedings for the repurchase of the Notes pursuant to this Section 14.01. At the Company’s request, the Trustee shall give such notice in the Company’s name and at the Company’s expense; provided, however, that, in all cases, the text of such Fundamental Change Company Notice shall be prepared by the Company.
(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Notes may be repurchased by the Company on any date at the option of the Holders upon a Fundamental Change if the principal amount of the Notes has been accelerated, and such acceleration has not been rescinded, on or prior to such date (except in the case of an acceleration resulting from a Default by the Company in the payment of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price with respect to such Notes). The Paying Agent will promptly return to the respective Holders thereof any Physical Notes held by it during the acceleration of the Notes (except in the case of an acceleration resulting from a Default by the Company in the payment of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price with respect to such Notes), or any instructions for book-entry transfer of the Notes in compliance with the procedures of the Depositary shall be deemed to have been canceled, and, upon such return or cancellation, as the case may be, the Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice with respect thereto shall be deemed to have been withdrawn.
CDSCs Related to the Redemption of Non-Omnibus Commission Shares CDSCs in respect of the redemption of Non-Omnibus Commission Shares shall be allocated to the Distributor or a Successor Distributor depending upon whether the related redeemed Commission Share is attributable to the Distributor or such Successor Distributor, as the case may be, in accordance with Part I above.
