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.
Modification and Amendment This Agreement may not be changed, modified, discharged or amended, except by an instrument signed by all of the parties hereto.
Modification and Amendments If a Fund shall determine that the coverage required by Rule 17g-1 for the Fund has changed, or that the amount of the total coverage allocated to the Fund should otherwise by modified, it shall so notify the other Funds and shall set forth the modification which it believes to be appropriate, and the proposed treatment of any increase in or return of premium paid to the insurance company. Within 60 days after such notice, the Funds shall seek the approvals required by Rule 17g-1, and if the approvals are obtained, shall effect an amendment to this Agreement and the bond. Any Fund may terminate this Agreement (except with respect to losses occurring prior to such withdrawal) by giving at least 60 days’ written notice to the other Funds and to the Commission before the effective date of such termination. The Fund terminating the Agreement shall thereafter be removed as a named insured under the bond in accordance with Rule 17g-1 and the Fund shall be entitled to receive a pro rata portion of any return of premium paid to the insurance company.
Amendment of the Agreement The Company and the Participant may amend this Agreement only by a written instrument signed by both parties.
Waivers; Amendment; Joinder Agreements (a) No failure or delay on the part of any party hereto in exercising any right or power hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the parties hereto are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement or consent to any departure by any party therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by Section 5.02(b), and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. No notice or demand on any party hereto in any case shall entitle such party to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances. (b) Neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof may be terminated, waived, amended or modified (other than pursuant to any Joinder Agreement) except pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by each Authorized Representative and each Collateral Agent (and with respect to any such termination, waiver, amendment or modification which by the terms of this Agreement requires the Company’s consent or which increases the obligations or reduces the rights of the Company or any other Grantor, with the consent of the Company). (c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, without the consent of any First-Lien Secured Party, any Authorized Representative may become a party hereto by execution and delivery of a Joinder Agreement in accordance with Section 5.13 and upon such execution and delivery, such Authorized Representative and the Additional First-Lien Secured Parties and Additional First-Lien Obligations of the Series for which such Authorized Representative is acting shall be subject to the terms hereof and the terms of the Additional First-Lien Security Documents applicable thereto. (d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, without the consent of any other Authorized Representative or First-Lien Secured Party, the Collateral Agents may effect amendments and modifications to this Agreement to the extent necessary to reflect any incurrence of any Additional First-Lien Obligations in compliance with the Credit Agreement and the other Secured Credit Documents.
ASSIGNMENT AND AMENDMENTS This Agreement shall automatically terminate, without the payment of any penalty, in the event of its assignment (as defined in section 2(a)(4) of the 1940 Act); provided that such termination shall not relieve the Adviser of any liability incurred hereunder. This Agreement may not be added to or changed orally and may not be modified or rescinded except by a writing signed by the parties hereto and in accordance with the 1940 Act, when applicable.
Waiver and Amendments Any waiver, alteration, amendment, or modification of any of the terms of this Agreement shall be valid only if made in writing and signed by each of the parties hereto; provided, however, that any such waiver, alteration, amendment, or modification must be consented to on the Company’s behalf by the Board. No waiver by either of the parties hereto of their rights hereunder shall be deemed to constitute a waiver with respect to any subsequent occurrences or transactions hereunder unless such waiver specifically states that it is to be construed as a continuing waiver.
Termination and Amendment 53 8.1. TERMINATION.............................................................................53 8.2.
Assignment and Amendment This Agreement may not be assigned by the Subadviser, and shall automatically terminate, without the payment of any penalty, in the event: (a) of its assignment, including any change in control of the Adviser or the Subadviser which is deemed to be an assignment under the 1940 Act, or (b) that the Advisory Agreement is assigned or terminates for any reason. Trades that were placed prior to such termination will not be canceled; however, no new trades will be placed after notice of such termination is received. Termination of this Agreement shall not relieve the Adviser or the Subadviser of any liability incurred hereunder. The terms of this Agreement shall not be changed unless such change is agreed to in writing by the parties hereto and is approved by the affirmative vote of a majority of the Trustees of the Trust voting in person, including a majority of the Trustees who are not interested persons of the Trust, the Adviser or the Subadviser, at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on such change, and (to the extent required by the 0000 Xxx) unless also approved at a meeting by the affirmative vote of the majority of outstanding voting securities of the Fund.
Amendment; Assignment This Agreement may be amended, superseded, canceled, renewed or extended, and the terms hereof may be waived, only by a written instrument signed by authorized representatives of the parties or, in the case of a waiver, by an authorized representative of the party waiving compliance. No such written instrument shall be effective unless it expressly recites that it is intended to amend, supersede, cancel, renew or extend this Agreement or to waive compliance with one or more of the terms hereof, as the case may be. Except for the Management Stockholder’s right to assign his or her rights under Section 4(a) or the Company’s right to assign its rights under Section 4(b), no party to this Agreement may assign any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the other parties hereto.
