Separate Accounts If the Fund has more than one series or portfolio, the Bank will segregate the assets of each series or portfolio to which this Agreement relates into a separate account for each such series or portfolio containing the assets of such series or portfolio (and all investment earnings thereon). Unless the context otherwise requires, any reference in this Agreement to any actions to be taken by the Fund shall be deemed to refer to the Fund acting on behalf of one or more of its series, any reference in this Agreement to any assets of the Fund, including, without limitation, any portfolio securities and cash and earnings thereon, shall be deemed to refer only to assets of the applicable series, any duty or obligation of the Bank hereunder to the Fund shall be deemed to refer to duties and obligations with respect to such individual series and any obligation or liability of the Fund hereunder shall be binding only with respect to such individual series, and shall be discharged only out of the assets of such series.
Separate Account NML Variable Annuity Account B. The Separate Account consists of assets set aside by the Company, the investment performance of which is kept separate from that of the general assets and all other separate account assets of the Company.
Cash Accounts The Custodian will open and maintain in the name of the Client one or more cash deposit accounts (each a “Cash Account”) in such currencies as may be required in connection with the investment activity of the Client.
Retirement Accounts With respect to certain retirement plans or accounts (such as individual retirement accounts (“IRAs”), SIMPLE IRAs, SEP IRAs, Xxxx IRAs, Education IRAs, and 403(b) Plans (such accounts, “Retirement Accounts”), the Transfer Agent, at the request and expense of the Fund, provide or arrange for the provision of various services to such plans and/or accounts, which services may include custodial agent services such as account set-up maintenance, and disbursements as well as such other services as the parties hereto shall mutually agree upon.
SUBACCOUNTS The Separate Account is divided into Subaccounts which invest in shares of mutual funds. Each Subaccount may invest its assets in a separate class or series of a designated mutual fund or funds. The Subaccounts are shown on page 3. Subject to the regulatory requirements then in force, SBL reserves the right to:
Primary Accounts Borrower will maintain its primary depository and operating accounts with Bank.
Other Accounts On the date of withdrawal of any Deposit, the Escrow Agent, or the Pass Through Trustee on behalf of the Escrow Agent, shall be entitled to re-deposit with the Depositary any portion thereof and the Depositary shall accept the same for deposit hereunder. Any sums so received for deposit shall be established as a new Deposit and credited to a new Account, all as more fully provided in Section 2.1 hereof, and thereafter the provisions of this Agreement shall apply thereto as fully and with the same force and effect as if such Deposit had been established on the Deposit Date except that (i) such Deposit may not be withdrawn prior to the date seven days after the establishment thereof and (ii) such Deposit shall mature on June 15, 2000 (as such date may be extended from time to time to the fifteenth day after the Delivery Period Termination Date) and bear interest as provided in Section 2.2. The Depositary shall promptly give notice to the Escrow Agent of the account number assigned to any such re-deposit.
Separate Account Transactions Investment decisions for the Separate Account shall be made by the Sub-Advisor independently from those for any other investment companies and accounts advised or managed by the Sub-Advisor. The Separate Account and such investment companies and accounts may, however, invest in the same securities. When the Sub-Advisor seeks to purchase or sell the same security at substantially the same time on behalf of the Separate Account and/or another investment company or account, the Sub-Advisor shall, to the extent permitted by law and to the extent reasonably practicable, aggregate such orders or otherwise effect such transaction on an average price basis, and available investments will be allocated as to amount in a manner which the Sub-Advisor believes to be equitable to the Fund and such other investment company or account. In some instances, this investment procedure may adversely affect the price paid or received by the Fund or the size of the position obtained or sold by the Fund. To the extent permitted by law, the Sub-Advisor may aggregate the securities to be sold or purchased for the Separate Account with those to be sold or purchased for other investment companies or accounts in order to obtain best execution on an overall basis for all the Sub-Advisor’s clients. The Sub-Advisor shall place orders for the purchase and sale of portfolio securities for the Separate Account and will solicit broker-dealers to execute transactions in accordance with the Fund’s policies and restrictions regarding brokerage allocations. If applicable, the Sub-Advisor shall place orders pursuant to its investment determinations for the Separate Account either directly with the issuer or with any broker or dealer. If it executes portfolio transactions and selects brokers or dealers, the Sub-Advisor shall use its reasonable best efforts to seek the most favorable execution of orders, after taking into account all factors the Sub-Advisor deems relevant, including the breadth of the market in the security, the price of the security, the financial condition and execution capability of the broker or dealer, and the reasonableness of the commission, if any, both for the specific transaction and on a continuing basis. Consistent with this obligation, the Sub-Advisor may, to the extent permitted by law, purchase and sell portfolio securities to and from brokers and dealers who provide brokerage and/or research services (within the meaning of Section 28(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) to or for the benefit of the Separate Account and/or other accounts over which the Sub-Advisor or any of its affiliates exercises investment discretion. The Sub-Advisor is authorized to pay to a broker or dealer who provides such brokerage and/or research services a commission for executing a portfolio transaction for the Separate Account which is in excess of the amount of commission another broker or dealer would have charged for effecting that transaction if the Sub-Advisor determines in good faith that such commission was reasonable in relation to the value of the brokerage and/or research services provided by such broker or dealer, viewed in terms of either that particular transaction or the Sub-Advisor’s overall responsibilities to the Fund. In no instance will portfolio securities be purchased from or sold to the Advisor or the Sub-Advisor or any affiliated person of either thereof; except as permitted by Rules and Regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.
