Redemption and Purchases SECTION 3.01 Right to Redeem; Notices to Trustee...................................... 21 SECTION 3.02 Selection of Securities to Be Redeemed................................... 22 SECTION 3.03
Segregation of Purchased Securities To the extent required by applicable law, all Purchased Securities in the possession of Seller shall be segregated from other securities in its possession and shall be identified as subject to this Agreement. Segregation may be accomplished by appropriate identification on the books and records of the holder, including a financial or securities intermediary or a clearing corporation. All of Seller’s interest in the Purchased Securities shall pass to Buyer on the Purchase Date and, unless otherwise agreed by Buyer and Seller, nothing in this Agreement shall preclude Buyer from engaging in repurchase transactions with the Purchased Securities or otherwise selling, transferring, pledging or hypothecating the Purchased Securities, but no such transaction shall relieve Buyer of its obligations to transfer Purchased Securities to Seller pursuant to Paragraph 3, 4 or 11 hereof, or of Buyer’s obligation to credit or pay Income to, or apply Income to the obligations of, Seller pursuant to Paragraph 5 hereof. Seller is not permitted to substitute other securities for those subject to this Agreement and therefore must keep Buyer’s securities segregated at all times, unless in this Agreement Buyer grants Seller the right to substitute other securities. If Buyer grants the right to substitute, this means that Buyer’s securities will likely be commingled with Seller’s own securities during the trading day. Buyer is advised that, during any trading day that Buyer’s securities are commingled with Seller’s securities, they [will]* [may]** be subject to liens granted by Seller to [its clearing bank]* [third parties]** and may be used by Seller for deliveries on other securities transactions. Whenever the securities are commingled, Seller’s ability to resegregate substitute securities for Buyer will be subject to Seller’s ability to satisfy [the clearing]* [any]** lien or to obtain substitute securities.
Purchase and Sale of Investments of the Fund 1. Promptly after each purchase or sale (as applicable) of Securities by a Fund, other than a purchase or sale of any Reverse Repurchase Agreement, a Fund shall deliver to the Custodian (i) with respect to each purchase or sale of Securities which are not Money Market Securities, a Certificate; and (ii) with respect to each purchase or sale of Money Market Securities, a Certificate, Oral Instructions or Written Instructions, specifying with respect to each such purchase or sale: (a) the name of the issuer and the title of the Securities; (b) the number of shares or the principal amount purchased or sold and accrued interest, if any; (c) the date of purchase or sale and settlement date; (d) the purchase or sale price per unit; (e) the total amount payable upon such purchase or sale; (f) the name of the person from whom or the broker through whom the purchase or sale was made, and the name of the clearing broker, if any; (g) in the case of a purchase, the name of the broker to which payment is to be made; and (h) in the case of a sale, the name of the broker to whom the Securities are to be delivered. In the case of a purchase, the Custodian shall, upon receipt of Securities purchased by or for a Fund, pay out of the moneys held for the account of a Fund the total amount payable to the person from whom, or the broker through whom, the purchase was made, provided that the same conforms to the total amount payable as set forth in such Certificate, Oral Instructions or Written Instructions. In the case of a sale, the Custodian shall deliver the Securities upon receipt of the total amount payable to a Fund upon such sale, provided that the same conforms to the total amount payable as set forth in such Certificate, Oral Instructions or Written Instructions. Subject to the foregoing, the Custodian may accept payment in such form as shall be satisfactory to it, and may deliver Securities and arrange for payment in accordance with the customs prevailing among dealers in securities.
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:
