All such Permitted Investments in respect of each such account will be credited to such account and any such Permitted Investments that constitute (i) Physical Property (and that is not either a United States Security Entitlement or a Security Entitlement) or Uncertificated Securities (and not United States Security Entitlements) shall be delivered to the Trustee in accordance with the definition of “Delivery” and shall be held by the Trustee pending maturity or disposition and (ii) United States Security Entitlements or Security Entitlements shall be Controlled by the Trustee pending maturity or disposition.

ARG shall not direct the Trustee to dispose of (or permit the disposal of) any Permitted Investments prior to the maturity thereof to the extent such disposal would result in a loss of the purchase price of such Permitted Investments.

ARG shall not direct the Trustee to dispose of (or permit the disposal of) any Permitted Investments prior to the maturity thereof to the extent such disposal would result in a loss of the purchase price of such Permitted Investments.
