Adoption of Procedures State Street and each Fund may from time to time adopt such procedures as they agree upon, and State Street may conclusively assume that no procedure approved or directed by a Fund, a Fund’s or Portfolio’s accountants or other advisors conflicts with or violates any requirements of the prospectus, articles of incorporation, bylaws, declaration of trust, any applicable law, rule or regulation, or any order, decree or agreement by which the Fund may be bound. Each Fund will be responsible for notifying State Street of any changes in statutes, regulations, rules, requirements or policies which may impact State Street responsibilities or procedures under this Agreement.
Suspension and termination of procedure 1. The disputing Parties may agree to suspend the work of the Panel at any time for a period not exceeding 12 months following the date of such agreement. In any event, if the work of the Panel has been suspended for more than 12 months, the authority of the Panel shall lapse, unless the disputing Parties agree otherwise. If the authority of the Panel lapses and the disputing Parties have not reached an agreement on the settlement of the dispute, nothing in this Article shall prevent a Party from requesting a new proceeding regarding the same matter. 2. At any time prior to the release of the Panel report, the Parties may agree to terminate the procedures before a Panel by jointly notifying the chair of the Panel on this respect.
Notification of Proceeding Indemnitee will notify the Company in writing promptly upon being served with any summons, citation, subpoena, complaint, indictment, information or other document relating to any proceeding or matter which may be subject to indemnification or advancement of expenses covered hereunder. The failure of Indemnitee to so notify the Company shall not relieve the Company of any obligation which it may have to Indemnitee under this Agreement or otherwise.
Completion of Proceedings All corporate and other proceedings taken or to be taken in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby and all documents incidental thereto not previously found acceptable by Administrative Agent, acting on behalf of Lenders, and its counsel shall be satisfactory in form and substance to Administrative Agent and such counsel, and Administrative Agent and such counsel shall have received all such counterpart originals or certified copies of such documents as Administrative Agent may reasonably request.
Initiation of Proceedings If foreclosure approval has not been withheld by the Master Servicer and, where applicable, by the respective Primary Mortgage Insurer and/or the respective Pool Insurer, with respect to a Mortgaged Property, including Co-op Shares, the Servicer shall, unless it arranges for the sale by the Borrower of the Mortgaged Property to a third party pursuant to Section 13.3.3, initiate or cause to be initiated such foreclosure actions as are authorized by law and consistent with practices in the locality where the Mortgaged Property is located, including, in the case where such Mortgaged Property includes a residential long-term lease, the succession by the Servicer to the rights of the Borrower under the lease by foreclosure, assignment in lieu of foreclosure or other comparable means. If such Mortgaged Property has been abandoned or vacated by the Borrower and the Borrower has evidenced no intention of honoring his obligations under the related Mortgage Loan, the foreclosure process shall be expedited to the fullest extent permitted by law.
Termination of Proceedings In case the Trustee shall have proceeded to enforce any right under this Indenture by the appointment of a receiver, or otherwise, and such proceedings shall have been discontinued or abandoned for any reason, or shall have been determined adversely, then and in every such case the Issuer, the Company and the Trustee shall be restored to their former positions and rights hereunder, respectively, with respect to the Trust Estate, and all rights, remedies and powers of the Trustee shall continue as if no such proceedings had been taken.
