Actions by Holders No Holder shall have the right to institute any action, suit or proceeding or to exercise any other remedy authorized by this agreement for the purpose of enforcing any of its rights or for the execution of any trust or power hereunder unless the Holder has requested the Trustee to take or institute such action, suit or proceeding and furnished the Trustee with the funding, security and indemnity referred to in Section 7.6 hereof and the Trustee shall have failed to act within a reasonable time thereafter. In such case, but not otherwise, the Holder shall be entitled to take proceedings in any court of competent jurisdiction such as the Trustee might have taken; it being understood and intended that no one or more Holders shall have any right in any manner whatsoever to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights hereby created by any such action, or to enforce any right hereunder or under the Voting Rights, the Exchange Put Right, the Exchange Right or the Automatic Exchange Rights, except subject to the conditions and in the manner herein provided, and that all powers and trusts hereunder shall be exercised and all proceedings at law shall be instituted, had and maintained by the Trustee, except only as herein provided, and in any event for the equal benefit of all Holders.
Voting by Shareholders (a) Shareholders shall not have the power to vote on any matter except: (i) for the election or removal of Trustees to the extent and as provided in Article V hereof; and (ii) with respect to such additional matters relating to the Trust as may be required by law or as the Trustees may consider and determine necessary or desirable.
Indemnification by Shareholders Each Shareholder shall, severally and not jointly, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, indemnify and hold harmless REIT, its subsidiaries each of their respective trustees, directors, officers, employees, representatives and agents, in their capacity as such and each Person, if any, who controls REIT within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, and the heirs, executors, successors and assigns of any of the foregoing (collectively, the “REIT Indemnified Parties”) from and against any and all Covered Liabilities suffered, directly or indirectly, by any REIT Indemnified Party by reason of or arising out of any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission contained or incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement under which the sale of Registrable Securities was registered under the Securities Act (or any amendment thereto), or any Prospectus, preliminary Prospectus, or free writing prospectus (as defined in Rule 405 promulgated under the Securities Act) related to such Registration Statement or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto, in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished to REIT by such Shareholder expressly for use therein; provided, however, that (i) the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 5.2 shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such Covered Liability if such settlement is effected without the consent of such Shareholder (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), and (ii) in no event shall the total amounts payable in indemnity by a Shareholder under this Section 5.2 exceed the net proceeds received by such Shareholder in the registered offering out of which such Covered Liability arises. The indemnity in this Section 5.2 shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of any REIT Indemnified Person. For the avoidance of doubt, a Shareholder is not a “REIT Indemnified Party.”
Approval by Shareholders The Trust will call a meeting of the shareholders of the Selling Fund to consider and act upon this Agreement and to take all other action necessary to obtain approval of the transactions contemplated herein.
Actions by Directors (a) Unless provided otherwise in this Agreement, the Directors will act only: (1) by the affirmative vote of a majority of the Directors (which majority will include any requisite number of Independent Directors required by the 0000 Xxx) present at a meeting duly called at which a quorum of the Directors is present either in person or, to the extent consistent with the provisions of the 1940 Act, by conference telephone or other communications equipment by means of which all Persons participating in the meeting can hear each other; or (2) by unanimous written consent of all of the Directors without a meeting, if permissible under the 1940 Act. A majority of the Directors then in office will constitute a quorum at any meeting of Directors.
Quorum; Voting; Decisions At each JRC meeting, (i) the participation of at least [********] members designated by each Party shall constitute a quorum and (ii) all members designated by each Party who participate shall [********] vote on all matters before the JRC at such meeting. All decisions of the JRC shall be made by [********] vote. Alternatively, the JRC may act by written consent signed by at least [********] members designated by each Party. Whenever any action by the JRC is called for hereunder during a time period in which the JRC is not scheduled to meet, the Chairman shall cause the JRC to take the action in the requested time period by calling a special meeting or by circulating a written consent. Representatives of each Party or of its Affiliates who are not members of the JRC (including the Patent Coordinators) may attend JRC meetings as non-voting observers with the consent of the other Party, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. The Parties shall use reasonable efforts to reach consensus on matters properly before the JRC but, to the extent that that the JRC is unable to resolve any such matter, unless otherwise provided in this Agreement, such matter shall be referred to the ESC to be resolved in accordance with Section 2.1.5.
Payment of Expenses by Shareholders The Trustees shall have the power, as frequently as they may determine, to cause each Shareholder, or each Shareholder of any particular Series or Class, to pay directly, in advance or arrears, for charges of the Trust’s custodian or transfer, shareholder servicing or similar agent, an amount fixed from time to time by the Trustees, by setting off such charges due from such Shareholder from declared but unpaid dividends owed such Shareholder and/or by reducing the number of Shares in the account of such Shareholder by that number of full and/or fractional Shares which represents the outstanding amount of such charges due from such Shareholder.
Actions by Warrant Agent to Protect Interest The Warrant Agent shall have power to institute and to maintain such actions and proceedings as it may consider necessary or expedient to preserve, protect or enforce its interests and the interests of the Registered Warrantholders.
Suits by Warrantholders All or any of the rights conferred upon any Warrantholder by any of the terms of this Indenture may be enforced by the Warrantholder by appropriate proceedings but without prejudice to the right which is hereby conferred upon the Warrant Agent to proceed in its own name to enforce each and all of the provisions herein contained for the benefit of the Warrantholders.
Action by Securityholders Whenever in this Indenture it is provided that the holders of a specified percentage in aggregate principal amount of the Debentures may take any action (including the making of any demand or request, the giving of any notice, consent or waiver or the taking of any other action) the fact that at the time of taking any such action the holders of such specified percentage have joined therein may be evidenced (a) by any instrument or any number of instruments of similar tenor executed by such Securityholders in person or by agent or proxy appointed in writing, or (b) by the record of such holders of Debentures voting in favor thereof at any meeting of such Securityholders duly called and held in accordance with the provisions of Article VIII, or (c) by a combination of such instrument or instruments and any such record of such a meeting of such Securityholders or (d) by any other method the Trustee deems satisfactory. If the Company shall solicit from the Securityholders any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action or revocation of the same, the Company may, at its option, as evidenced by an Officers' Certificate, fix in advance a record date for such Debentures for the determination of Securityholders entitled to give such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action or revocation of the same, but the Company shall have no obligation to do so. If such a record date is fixed, such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action or revocation of the same may be given before or after the record date, but only the Securityholders of record at the close of business on the record date shall be deemed to be Securityholders for the purposes of determining whether Securityholders of the requisite proportion of outstanding Debentures have authorized or agreed or consented to such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action or revocation of the same, and for that purpose the outstanding Debentures shall be computed as of the record date; provided, however, that no such authorization, agreement or consent by such Securityholders on the record date shall be deemed effective unless it shall become effective pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture not later than 6 months after the record date.
