Securities Exchange Act The term “
Investment Securities and Commodities (a) Each of the Company and its Subsidiaries has good title in all material respects to all securities and commodities owned by it (except those sold under repurchase agreements), free and clear of any Lien, except as set forth in the financial statements included in the Company Reports or to the extent such securities or commodities are pledged in the ordinary course of business to secure obligations of the Company or its Subsidiaries. Such securities and commodities are valued on the books of the Company in accordance with GAAP in all material respects.
Securities Exchange Commission Certification The Corporation confirms that as at the date hereof it does not have a class of securities registered pursuant to Section 12 of the U.S. Exchange Act or a reporting obligation pursuant to Section 15(d) of the U.S.
Futures Contracts Upon receipt of Instructions, the Custodian shall enter into a futures margin procedural agreement among the appropriate Fund, the Custodian and the designated futures commission merchant (a "Procedural Agreement"). Under the Procedural Agreement the Custodian shall: (a) receive and retain confirmations, if any, evidencing the purchase or sale of a futures contract or an option on a futures contract by such Fund; (b) deposit and maintain in a segregated account cash, Securities and/or other Assets designated as initial, maintenance or variation "margin" deposits intended to secure such Fund's performance of its obligations under any futures contracts purchased or sold, or any options on futures contracts written by such Fund, in accordance with the provisions of any Procedural Agreement designed to comply with the provisions of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission and/or any commodity exchange or contract market (such as the Chicago Board of Trade), or any similar organization(s), regarding such margin deposits; and (c) release Assets from and/or transfer Assets into such margin accounts only in accordance with any such Procedural Agreements. The appropriate Fund and such futures commission merchant shall be responsible for determining the type and amount of Assets held in the segregated account or paid to the broker-dealer in compliance with applicable margin maintenance requirements and the performance of any futures contract or option on a futures contract in accordance with its terms.
National Treatment and Most-favoured-nation Treatment (1) Each Contracting Party shall accord to investments of investors of the other Contracting Party, treatment which shall not be less favourable than that accorded either to investments of its own or investments of investors of any third State.
Futures Transactions in futures involve the obligation to make, or to take, delivery of the underlying asset of the contract at a future date, or in some cases to settle the Investment Adviser’s position with cash from a Portfolio or elsewhere. Transactions in futures carry a high degree of risk. The “gearing” or “leverage” often obtainable in futures trading means that a small deposit or down payment can lead to large losses as well as gains. It also means that a relatively small market movement can lead to a proportionately much larger movement in the value of the Investment Adviser’s investment, and this can work against the Investment Adviser as well as for the Investment Adviser. Futures transactions have a contingent liability, and the Investment Adviser should be aware of the implications of this, in particular the margining requirements, which are described in paragraph 7.2 below.
