In the event of a termination of this Agreement, the Company, as promptly as is practicable under the circumstances, shall notify the Trust, the Distributor and the Adviser whether the Company elects to continue to make Fund shares available after such termination. If Fund shares continue to be made available after such termination, the provisions of this Agreement shall remain in effect. 10.4. Except as necessary to implement Variable Contract owner initiated transactions, or as required by state insurance laws or regulations, the Company shall not redeem the shares attributable to the Variable Contracts (as opposed to the shares attributable to the Company’s assets held in the Separate Accounts or invested directly), and the Company shall not prevent Variable Contract owners from allocating payments to a Fund that was otherwise available under the Variable Contracts, until thirty (30) days after the Company shall have notified the Trust of its intention to do so.
TERM, TERMINATION AND AMENDMENT (a) This Agreement shall become effective on the date of its execution and shall remain in full force and effect until March 31, 2008 (the “Initial Term”) and shall automatically continue in full force and effect after the Initial Term on an annual basis thereafter unless the Administrators terminate or the Sub-Administrator/Accounting Agent terminates this Agreement by written notice to the Administrators or the Sub-Administrator/Accounting Agent, as applicable, at least three hundred and sixty-five (365) days prior to the expiration of the Initial Term or any annual term thereafter. If this Agreement is terminated by either party as provided in the immediately preceding sentence, the Sub-Administrator/Accounting Agent shall, at the request of the Administrators, continue to provide services hereunder for a period (the “Extension Period”) of one hundred and eighty (180) days after the date of termination under the immediately preceding sentence and the compensation payable to the Sub-Administrator/Accounting Agent for such Extension Period shall be (i) if this Agreement is terminated under the first sentence of this Section 15(a) by the Sub-Administrator/Accounting Agent, the compensation described on Schedule D attached hereto as in effect on the date of the commencement of the Extension Period, or (ii) if this Agreement is terminated under the first sentence of this Section 15(a) by the Administrators, one hundred and twenty-five percent (125%) of the compensation described on Schedule D attached hereto as in effect on the date of the commencement of the Extension Period for the duration of such Extension Period. (b) Notwithstanding the provisions of clause (a) herein, and subject to the provisions of clause (c) herein, within thirty (30) days of each Constructive Termination Date (as defined herein) the Administrators shall pay to the Sub-Administrator/Accounting Agent a fee (a “Termination Fee”) which is equal to 25% of the aggregate amount of fees which would have been payable to the Sub-Administrator/Accounting Agent under this Agreement with respect to the Terminated Funds, calculated in accordance with the Schedule D in effect on such Constructive Termination Date (as defined herein) but based on, in the case of the calculation of the sub-administration fees, the average assets of the Fund during the sixty (60) day period preceding its termination as a Fund hereunder, and for the greater of (A) three (3) years from such Constructive Termination Date or (B) the remainder of the Initial Term of this Agreement. For purposes of this Section 15, (i) a “Terminated Fund” is a Fund (A) to which an Administrator no longer furnishes administrative and/or fund accounting services as a result of the termination, expiration or non-renewal of the applicable administration, advisory or other service agreement by and between such Fund and the Administrator (an “Administration Agreement*), and the provision of services by the Sub-Administrator/Accounting Agent to any Administrator (or its affiliates) under this Agreement with respect to each such Fund is then eliminated or terminated; (B) that has not entered into a State Street Agreement as set forth in clause (c) below; and (C) with respect to which a Termination Fee has not been paid, and (ii) a “Constructive Termination Date” will occur (A) when the aggregate number of Terminated Funds since the date hereof equals 15% or more of the sum of (y) the aggregate number of Funds listed on Schedule A on the date hereof plus (z) the number of Funds added to Schedule A from time to time prior to such Constructive Termination Date and (B) thereafter, each time when the aggregate number of Terminated Funds since the last Constructive Termination Date equals 15% or more of the sum of (y) the aggregate number of Funds listed on Schedule A on the most recent Constructive Termination Date plus (z) the number of Funds added to Schedule A from time to time prior to the next Constructive Termination Date. (c) If, prior to the expiration of the Initial Term and on or before the thirtieth (30/th/) day after the most recent Constructive Termination Date, the Sub-Administrator/Accounting Agent is directly appointed by any Terminated Fund to perform such administrative and accounting services directly to such Fund pursuant to an agreement with substantially similar terms as this Agreement (the “State Street Agreement”), a term equal to or greater than the remaining portion of the Initial Term of this Agreement, and with a Fee Schedule comparable to the Fee Schedule currently in effect under this Agreement and attached as Schedule D with respect to the sub-administration services listed on Schedule X-x attached hereto and the sub-accounting services listed on Schedule B-3 attached hereto, then the Administrators shall not be required to include such Terminated Fund in the calculation of the Termination Fee then payable. Notwithstanding the provisions of subsection (c), however, in the event that the State Street Agreement is terminated by any Fund for any reason other than cause (such as the negligence or willful misconduct of the Sub-Administrator/Accounting Agent, its officers or employees) prior to March 31, 2008 (the expiration of the Initial Term under this Agreement), the Administrators shall pay to the Sub-Administrator/Accounting Agent, within thirty (30) days of such termination, a Termination Fee which is equal to 25% of the fees that would have been payable to the Sub-Administrator/Accounting Agent under this Agreement with respect to the relevant Terminated Fund, calculated in accordance with the Schedule D as in effect on the last day that such Terminated Fund was listed on Schedule A to this Agreement (but based on, in the case of the calculation of the sub-administration fees, the average assets of the fund during the sixty (60) day period prior to the termination), and for the remainder of the Initial Term of this Agreement. The amount of the termination fee, if any, payable and actually paid by such Terminated Fund to the Sub-Administrator/Accounting Agent in connection with the termination of, and as described in, the State Street Agreement shall reduce any fee payable by the Administrators under this subsection (c). (d) The portion of any Termination Fee payable with respect to a Terminated Fund under subsection (b) and the Termination Fee payable with respect to a Terminated Fund under subsection (c) hereof shall be reduced by 40% in the event that the Terminated Fund is or becomes, on or before the date that such Termination Fee is due, a part of any fund family not listed on Schedule A attached hereto, and for which the Sub-Administrator/Accounting Agent provides sub-administrative and sub-acconting services. (e) Termination of this Agreement with respect to a Fund shall in no way affect the continued validity of this Agreement with respect to any other Fund. Upon termination of this Agreement with respect to a Fund, and subject to the provisions of Section 7.2, Schedule A shall be amended to reflect the Funds subject to the terms of this Agreement. (f) Notwithstanding clause (d), the Administrators may terminate this Agreement (i) upon thirty (30) days’ written notice to the Sub-Administrator/Accounting Agent that the Sub-Administrator/Accounting Agent is in breach of this Agreement, and the Sub-Administrator/Accounting Agent within such period fails to cure such breach, (ii) upon intervention of bankruptcy or receivership with respect to the Sub-Administrator/Accounting Agent, or (iii) upon the execution by the Sub-Administrator/Accounting Agent of any assignment for the benefit of creditors. Any such termination shall be in addition to, and not in lieu of, any rights the Administrators may have at law or in equity against the Sub-Administrator/Accounting Agent. (g) Upon termination of this Agreement, the Administrators shall pay to the Sub-Administrator/Accounting Agent such compensation and any reimbursable expenses as may be due under the terms hereof as of the date of such termination. (h) If a successor sub-administrator/accounting agent or administrator or accounting agent for any Fund shall be appointed by any Administrator or by a Fund, respectively, the Sub-Administrator/Accounting Agent stall upon termination of this Agreement with respect to that Fund use commercially reasonable efforts to transfer the records of such Fund to the designated successor sub-administrator/accounting agent or administrator or accounting agent for that Fund, as appropriate, to provide reasonable assistance to the applicable Administrator and that Fund’s designated successor sub-administrator/accounting agent or administrator or accounting agent, and to provide other information relating to its services provided hereunder (subject, in each case, to the recompense of the Sub-Administrator/Accounting Agent for such assistance at its standard rates and fees in effect at the time of such transfer). If no such successor sub-administrator/accounting agent or administrator or accounting agent shall be appointed for a Fund, the Sub-Administrator/Accounting Agent shall, upon receipt of Proper Instructions on or before the termination of this Agreement for such Fund, deliver such Fund’s property in accordance with such instructions. If no successor sub-administrator/accounting agent or administrator or accounting agent shall be appointed for a Fund and no Proper Instructions have been received, in each case, on or before the termination of this Agreement for such Fund, the Sub-Administrator/Accounting Agent shall upon such termination deliver to the Administrator of such Fund (or its successor), at the office of the Sub-Administrator/Accounting Agent, all property of such Fund. (i) This Agreement may be modified or amended from time to time by mutual written agreement of all parties hereto.
Amendment; Termination (a) This Addendum (including the Schedules hereto) may not be amended without the prior written consent of the Majority Japan Local Currency Banks hereunder and subject to the provisions of Section 8.01 of the Credit Agreement. (b) This Addendum may not be terminated without the prior written consent of each Japan Local Currency Bank party hereto, CFSC and CFKK unless there are no Japan Local Currency Advances or any other amounts outstanding hereunder, in which case no such consent of any Japan Local Currency Bank shall be required; provided, however, that this Addendum shall terminate on the date that the Credit Agreement terminates in accordance with its terms.
Termination; Release (a) This Agreement shall continue in effect (notwithstanding the fact that from time to time there may be no Obligations outstanding) until (such occurrence being the “Termination Date”) the earlier of (i) the time at which all of the Obligations have been paid in full (other than any contingent obligations not then due and indemnification obligations not then due) and (ii) the consummation of the Exchange Agreement Closing. Upon the occurrence of the Termination Date, the Holder shall forthwith cause the satisfaction, discharge and termination of this Agreement and the Liens granted hereunder (subject to Section 7.8) and shall prepare and record any and all termination statements as may be appropriate to terminate all financing statements and other filings made in connection with the Liens granted hereunder. (b) If any of the Collateral shall be sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of by the Grantor in a transaction permitted by this Agreement or the Note, the security interest created hereby in any Collateral that is so sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of shall automatically terminate and be released upon the closing of such sale, transfer or other disposition, and such Collateral shall be sold free and clear of the Lien and security interest created hereby; provided that, to the extent required by this Agreement or the Note, the Holder shall have consented to such sale, transfer or other disposition; provided, further, that such security interest will continue to attach to all proceeds of such sales, transfers or other dispositions except to the extent such proceeds are the subject of any such sale, assignment, transfer or disposition or as otherwise consented to by Holder. (c) In connection with any of the foregoing, the Holder shall execute and deliver to the Grantor or the Grantor’s designee, at the Grantor’s expense, all UCC termination statements and similar documents that the Grantor shall reasonably request from time to time to evidence such termination. Any execution and delivery of termination statements or documents pursuant to this Section 7.12 shall be without recourse to or warranty by the Holder.
Termination and Renewal This Agreement shall be in full force and effect until December 31, 2021, and shall continue in effect from year to year thereafter unless either party gives notice, in writing, at least sixty (60) days prior to any expiration or modification date of its desire to terminate or modify such Agreement; provided that, in the event the Union serves written notice in accordance with this Section, any strike or stoppage of work after any expiration or modification date shall not be deemed in violation of any provision of this Agreement, any other provision to the contrary notwithstanding.

Each notice delivered by the Borrower pursuant to this Section shall be irrevocable; provided that, a notice of termination of the Commitments delivered by the Borrower may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities or other transactions specified therein, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Borrower (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied. Any termination or reduction of the Commitments shall be permanent. Each reduction of the (i) Revolving Commitments shall be made ratably among the Revolving Lenders in accordance with their respective Revolving Commitments and (ii) Term Loan Commitments shall be made ratably among the Term Lender’s in accordance with their respective Term Loan Commitments.
