Sale of Trust Shares 1.1 TRUST agrees to make available to the Separate Accounts of LIFE COMPANY shares of the selected Portfolios as listed in Appendix B for investment of proceeds from Variable Contracts allocated to the designated Separate Accounts, such shares to be offered as provided in TRUST's Prospectus.
Sale of Trust Assets (a) [Intentionally Omitted].
Sale of Trust Estate (a) The power to effect any sale or other disposition (a "Sale") of any portion of the Trust Estate pursuant to Section 5.04 is expressly subject to the provisions of Section 5.05 and this Section 5.15. The power to effect any such Sale shall not be exhausted by any one or more Sales as to any portion of the Trust Estate remaining unsold, but shall continue unimpaired until the entire Trust Estate shall have been sold or all amounts payable on the Notes and under this Indenture and under the Insurance Agreement shall have been paid. The Indenture Trustee may from time to time postpone any public Sale by public announcement made at the time and place of such Sale. The Indenture Trustee hereby expressly waives its right to any amount fixed by law as compensation for any Sale.
Voting of Trust Shares With respect to any matter put to vote by the holders of Trust shares ("Voting Shares"), the Company will provide "pass-through" voting privileges to owners of Contracts registered with the SEC as long as the 1940 Act requires such privileges in such cases. In cases in which "pass-through" privileges apply, the Company will (i) solicit voting instructions from Contract Owners of SEC-registered Contracts; (ii) vote Voting Shares attributable to Contract Owners in accordance with instructions or proxies timely received from such Contract Owners; and (iii) vote Voting Shares held by it that are not attributable to reserves for SEC-registered Contracts or for which it has not received timely voting instructions in the same proportion as instructions received in a timely fashion from Owners of SEC-registered Contracts. The Company shall be responsible for ensuring that it calculates "pass-through" votes for the Account in a manner consistent with the provisions set forth above and with other Participating Insurance Companies. Neither the Company nor any of its affiliates will in any way recommend action in connection with, or oppose or interfere with, the solicitation of proxies for the Trust shares held for such Contract Owners, except with respect to matters as to which the Company has the right under Rule 6e-2 or 6e-3(T) under the 1940 Act, to vote Voting Shares without regard to voting instructions from Contract Owners.
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, they deem such action to be in the best interests of the shareholders of such Portfolio. Without limiting the foregoing, the Trustees have determined that there is a significant risk that the Trust and its shareholders may be adversely affected by investors whose purchase and redemption activity follows a market timing pattern, and have authorized the Trust, the Underwriter and the Trust's transfer agent to adopt procedures and take other action (including, without limitation, rejecting specific purchase orders) as they deem necessary to reduce, discourage or eliminate market timing activity. You agree to cooperate with us to assist us in implementing the Trust's restrictions on purchase and redemption activity that follows a market timing pattern.
Sale of Trust Business The Purchasers shall be permitted to assign this Agreement to any person acquiring all or substantially all of the corporate trust business of the Purchasers (or all or substantially all of the assets thereof or any entities owning such business or assets), whether structured as an asset sale, merger, change of control or otherwise, subject to the prior consent of the Sellers; provided, that such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed if the Sellers have reasonable assurance that such person acquiring all or substantially all of the corporate trust business (a) will have (either by itself or through its Affiliates) credit ratings, capitalization and creditworthiness no less than those of Purchasers (taking into account the guaranty provided by Guarantor pursuant to Section 9.5), (b) will provide a level of service quality no less than the service quality provided by the Purchasers, (c) will pose no greater regulatory or reputational risks than the Purchasers and (d) will agree to use reasonable best efforts to obtain the Authorizations required to Transfer the Serviced Appointments to such person on terms and conditions that are no less favorable to the Sellers than the obligations of the Purchasers set forth in the Purchase Agreement with respect to such Transfers.
Role of Trustee The recitals contained herein shall be taken as the statements of the Company, and the Trustee assumes no responsibility for their correctness. The Trustee makes no representations as to the validity or sufficiency of this Second Supplemental Indenture.
Agreed Tax Treatment of Trust and Trust Securities The parties hereto and, by its acceptance or acquisition of a Trust Security or a beneficial interest therein, the Holder of, and any Person that acquires a beneficial interest in, such Trust Security intend and agree to treat the Trust as a grantor trust for United States federal, state and local tax purposes, and to treat the Trust Securities (including all payments and proceeds with respect to such Trust Securities) as undivided beneficial ownership interests in the Trust Property (and payments and proceeds therefrom, respectively) for United States federal, state and local tax purposes and to treat the Notes as indebtedness of the Depositor for United States federal, state and local tax purposes. The provisions of this Trust Agreement shall be interpreted to further this intention and agreement of the parties.
Optional Purchase of Trust Estate The Servicer shall have the right at its option (the “Optional Purchase”) to purchase (and/or to designate one or more other parties to purchase) the Trust Estate (other than the Reserve Account) from the Issuer on any Payment Date if both of the following conditions are satisfied: (i) as of the last day of the related Collection Period, the Pool Balance has declined to 10% or less of the Pool Balance as of the Cut-Off Date, and (ii) the sum of the Optional Purchase Price and the Available Funds for such Payment Date would be sufficient to pay (A) the Servicing Fee for such Payment Date and all unpaid Servicing Fees with respect to prior periods, (B) all fees, expenses and indemnities owed to the Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee and not previously paid, (C) interest then due on the Notes and (D) the aggregate unpaid Note Balance of all of the Outstanding Notes. To exercise such option, the Servicer (or its designee) shall deposit, subject to Section 4.5, the Optional Purchase Price into the Collection Account on the Redemption Date; provided that, at the Servicer’s option, any Collections deposited into the Collection Account after the last day of the Collection Period immediately preceding the Redemption Date may either be applied to reduce the amount of such deposit or remitted to the Servicer (or its designee) following the exercise of the Optional Purchase. The Servicer shall furnish written notice of its election to exercise the Optional Purchase to the Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee not later than ten days prior to the date of the Optional Purchase. If the Servicer (or its designee) exercises the Optional Purchase, the Notes shall be redeemed and in each case in whole but not in part on the related Payment Date for the Redemption Price.
Acquisition of Trust Property (a) The Trustee is hereby irrevocably authorized and directed to execute and deliver the Assignment and Assumption Agreement on the date specified in Section 7.01 of the Related Pass Through Trust Supplement, subject only to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in said Section 7.01. The Agreement (except only for this sentence and the immediately preceding sentence hereof, which are effective upon execution and delivery hereof) shall become effective upon the execution and delivery of the Assignment and Assumption Agreement by the Trustee and the Related Trustee, automatically and without any further signature or action on the part of the Company and the Trustee, and shall thereupon constitute the legal, valid and binding obligation of the parties hereto enforceable against each of the parties hereto in accordance with its terms. Upon such execution and delivery of the Assignment and Assumption Agreement, the Related Trust shall be terminated, the Applicable Certificateholders shall receive beneficial interests in the Applicable Trust in exchange for their interests in the Related Trust equal to their respective beneficial interests in the Related Trust and the “Outstanding” (as defined in the Related Pass Through Trust Agreement) pass through certificates representing fractional undivided interests in the Related Trust shall be deemed for all purposes of the Agreement, without further signature or action of any party or Certificateholder, to be Certificates representing the same Fractional Undivided Interests in the Applicable Trust and Trust Property. By acceptance of its Applicable Certificate, each Applicable Certificateholder consents to and ratifies such assignment, transfer and delivery of the trust property of the Related Trust to the Trustee upon the execution and delivery of the Assignment and Assumption Agreement. The provisions of this Section 5.01(a) supersede and replace the provisions of Section 2.02 of the Basic Agreement with respect to the Applicable Trust, and all provisions of the Basic Agreement relating to Postponed Notes or Section 2.02 of the Basic Agreement shall not apply to the Applicable Trust.
