Amendment of Agreement This Agreement may be amended only by written agreement of the Adviser and the Sub-Adviser and only in accordance with the provisions of the 1940 Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.
Terms of Agreement In consideration of the mutual representations, warranties, covenants and agreements contained herein, the parties hereto agree as follows:
Amendment of Schedule A Schedule A to the Agreement is hereby amended by deleting it in its entirety and inserting in lieu therefor the Schedule A attached hereto.
Amendment of PHI Business Associate shall make any amendments to PHI in a Designated Record Set that Covered Entity directs or agrees to pursuant to 45 CFR § 164.526, whether at the request of Covered Entity or an Individual. Business Associate shall make such amendments in the time and manner reasonably designated by Covered Entity. Within three (3) business days, Business Associate shall forward to Covered Entity for handling any request for amendment to PHI that Business Associate directly receives from an Individual.
Scope of Agreement Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to entitle Executive to continued employment with the Company or its Subsidiaries, and if Executive’s employment with the Company shall terminate prior to a Change in Control, Executive shall have no further rights under this Agreement (except as otherwise provided hereunder); provided, however, that any termination of Executive’s employment during the Termination Period shall be subject to all of the provisions of this Agreement.
Ratification and Confirmation of Agreement In the event of a conflict between the terms of this Amendment and the Agreement, it is the intention of the parties that the terms of this Amendment shall control and the Agreement shall be interpreted on that basis. To the extent the provisions of the Agreement have not been amended by this Amendment, the parties hereby confirm and ratify the Agreement.
Amendment of Schedules Each party hereto agrees that, with respect to the representations and warranties of such party contained in this Agreement, such party shall have the continuing obligation until 24 hours prior to the anticipated effectiveness of the Registration Statement to supplement or amend promptly the Schedules hereto with respect to any matter hereafter arising or discovered which, if existing or known at the date of this Agreement, would have been required to be set forth or described in the Schedules, provided however, that supplements and amendments to Schedules 5.10, 5.11, 5.14 and 5.15 shall only have to be delivered at the Closing Date, unless such Schedule is to be amended to reflect an event occurring other than in the ordinary course of business. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, no amendment or supplement to a Schedule prepared by the Company that constitutes or reflects an event or occurrence that would have a Material Adverse Effect may be made unless TCI and a majority of the Founding Companies other than the Company consent to such amendment or supplement; and provided further, that no amendment or supplement to a Schedule prepared by TCI or Newco that constitutes or reflects an event or occurrence that would have a Material Adverse Effect may be made unless a majority of the Founding Companies consent to such amendment or supplement. For all purposes of this Agreement, including without limitation for purposes of determining whether the conditions set forth in Sections 8.1 and 9.1 have been fulfilled, the Schedules hereto shall be deemed to be the Schedules as amended or supplemented pursuant to this Section 7.8. In the event that one of the Other Founding Companies seeks to amend or supplement a Schedule pursuant to Section 7.8 of one of the Other Agreements, and such amendment or supplement constitutes or reflects an event or occurrence that would have a Material Adverse Effect on such Other Founding Company, TCI shall give the Company notice promptly after it has knowledge thereof. If TCI and a majority of the Founding Companies (other than the Founding Company seeking to amend or supplement a Schedule) consent to such amendment or supplement, which consent shall have been deemed given by TCI or any Founding Company if no response is received within 24 hours following receipt of notice of such amendment or supplement (or sooner if required by the circumstances under which such consent is requested), but the Company does not give its consent, the Company may terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 12.1(iv) hereof. In the event that the Company seeks to amend or supplement a Schedule pursuant to this Section 7.8, and TCI and a majority of the Other Founding Companies do not consent to such amendment or supplement, this Agreement shall be deemed terminated by mutual consent as set forth in Section 12.1(i) hereof. In the event that TCI or Newco seeks to amend or supplement a Schedule pursuant to this Section 7.8 and a majority of the Founding Companies do not consent to such amendment or supplement, this Agreement shall be deemed terminated by mutual consent as set forth in Section 12.1(i) hereof. No party to this Agreement shall be liable to any other party if this Agreement shall be terminated pursuant to the provisions of this Section 7.8. No amendment of or supplement to a Schedule shall be made later than 24 hours prior to the anticipated effectiveness of the Registration Statement.
LETTER OF AGREEMENT ARTICLE 48
Amendment of Plan The Board of Directors may amend the Plan with respect to all Participating Companies or with respect to a particular Participating Company at any time, and from time to time, pursuant to written resolutions adopted by the Board of Directors (and all Employees and persons claiming any interest hereunder shall be bound thereby); provided, however, that no such amendment shall:
(a) Alter the rights, duties or responsibilities of the Named Fiduciary or Trustees without their written consent;
(b) Permit any portion of the Trust Fund to inure to the benefit of the Company or permit any portion of the Trust Fund to be held or used other than for the exclusive purpose of providing benefits to Participants and their Beneficiaries and defraying reasonable costs of administering the Plan; or
(c) Have the effect of decreasing the “accrued benefit” of any Participant as proscribed in Section 411(d)(6) of the Code;
(d) Have the effect of reducing any then vested percentage of benefits of any Participant as computed in accordance with the vesting schedule under Article VII of the Plan. If the vesting schedule under Article VII of the Plan shall be amended and such an amendment would, at any time, decrease the percentage of vested benefits which any Participant would have been entitled to receive had the vesting schedule not been so amended, then each Participant who is an Employee on the date such amendment is adopted, or the date such amendment is effective, whichever is later, and who has three (3) or more Periods of Service as of the end of the period within which such Participant may make the election provided for herein, shall be permitted, beginning on the date such amendment is adopted, to irrevocably elect to have the Participant’s vested interest computed without regard to such amendment. Written notice of such amendment and the availability of such election must be given to each such Participant, and each such Participant shall be granted a period of sixty (60) days after the later of:
(1) The Participant’s receipt of such notice; or
(2) The effective date of such amendment within which to make such election. Such election shall be exercised by the Participant by delivering or sending written notice thereof to the Named Fiduciary prior to the expiration of such sixty (60) day period.
Term of Agreement; Amendment; Assignment A. This Agreement shall become effective with respect to each Fund listed on Exhibit A hereof as of the date hereof and, with respect to each Fund not in existence on that date, on the date an amendment to Exhibit A to this Agreement relating to that Fund is executed. Unless sooner terminated as provided herein, this Agreement shall continue in effect for two years from the date hereof. Thereafter, if not terminated, this Agreement shall continue in effect automatically as to each Fund for successive one-year periods, provided such continuance is specifically approved at least annually by: (i) the Trust’s Board, or (ii) the vote of a “majority of the outstanding voting securities” of a Fund, and provided that in either event, the continuance is also approved by a majority of the Trust’s Board who are not “interested persons” of any party to this Agreement, by a vote cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on such approval.
B. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement may be terminated, without the payment of any penalty, with respect to a particular Fund: (i) through a failure to renew this Agreement at the end of a term, (ii) upon mutual consent of the parties, or (iii) upon not less than 60 days’ written notice, by either the Trust upon the vote of a majority of the members of its Board who are not “interested persons” of the Trust and have no direct or indirect financial interest in the operation of this Agreement, or by vote of a “majority of the outstanding voting securities” of a Fund, or by the Distributor. The terms of this Agreement shall not be waived, altered, modified, amended or supplemented in any manner whatsoever except by a written instrument signed by the Distributor and the Trust. If required under the 1940 Act, any such amendment must be approved by the Trust’s Board, including a majority of the Trust’s Board who are not “interested persons” of any party to this Agreement, by a vote cast in person at a meeting for the purpose of voting on such amendment. In the event that such amendment affects the Advisor, the written instrument shall also be signed by the Advisor. This Agreement will automatically terminate in the event of its “assignment.”
C. As used in this Section, the terms “majority of the outstanding voting securities,” “interested person,” and “assignment” shall have the same meaning as such terms have in the 1940 Act.
D. Sections 7 and 8 shall survive termination of this Agreement.
