Incorporation of Master Lease The terms, covenants and conditions of the Master Lease are hereby incorporated into this Sublease as they apply to the Premises, except as otherwise expressly provided herein. The terms, conditions and respective obligations of Sublandlord and Subtenant to each other under this Sublease shall be the terms and conditions of the Master Lease except for those provisions of the Master Lease which are directly contradicted by this Sublease in which event the terms of this Sublease shall control over the Master Lease. Therefore, for the purposes of incorporation in this Sublease, (1) wherever in the Master Lease the word “Landlord” is used it shall be deemed to mean the Sublandlord herein, (2) wherever in the Master Lease the word “Tenant” is used it shall be deemed to mean the Subtenant herein, and (3) wherever in the Master Lease the words “Lease”, “Premises”, “Rent” or “Term” are used, such terms shall be deemed to mean this Sublease, the Premises, the Rent hereunder and the Term hereunder, respectively. The time limits contained in the Master Lease for the giving of notices, making of demands or performing of any act, condition or covenant on the part of the tenant thereunder, or for the exercise by the tenant thereunder of any right, remedy or option, are changed for the purposes of incorporation herein by reference by shortening the same in each instance by one (1) day, so that in each instance Subtenant shall have one (1) day less time to observe or perform hereunder than Sublandlord has as the tenant under the Master Lease unless the applicable notice, grace or cure period under the Master Lease is five (5) days or less, in which case such period shall not be shortened. Any non-liability, release, indemnity or hold harmless provision in the Master Lease for the benefit of Landlord or Tenant that is incorporated herein by reference shall be deemed to inure to the benefit of Sublandlord and Landlord, on the one hand, and Subtenant, on the other hand, and any other person intended to be benefitted by said provision, for the purpose of incorporation by reference in this Sublease. Any right of Landlord under the Master Lease of access or inspection, any right of Landlord under the Master Lease to do work in the Premises and any right of Landlord under the Master Lease in respect of rules and regulations, which is incorporated herein by reference, shall be deemed to inure to the benefit of Sublandlord, Landlord, and any other person intended to be benefitted by said provision, for the purpose of incorporation by reference in this Sublease.
Amendment of Agreement and Certificate of Limited Partnership For the admission to the Partnership of any Partner, the General Partner shall take all steps necessary and appropriate under the Act to amend the records of the Partnership and, if necessary, to prepare as soon as practical an amendment of this Agreement (including an amendment of Exhibit A) and, if required by law, shall prepare and file an amendment to the Certificate and may for this purpose exercise the power of attorney granted pursuant to Section 2.4 hereof.
Termination and Amendment of Agreement The Corporation and the Custodian mutually may agree from time to time in writing to amend, to add to, or to delete from any provision of this Agreement. The Custodian may terminate this Agreement by giving the Corporation ninety days' written notice of such termination by registered mail addressed to the Corporation at its principal place of business. The Corporation may terminate this Agreement at any time by written notice thereof delivered, together with a copy of the resolution of the Board of Directors authorizing such termination and certified by the Secretary of the Corporation, by registered mail to the Custodian. Upon such termination of this Agreement, assets of the Corporation held by the Custodian shall be delivered by the Custodian to a successor custodian, if one has been appointed by the Corporation, upon receipt by the Custodian of a copy of the resolution of the Board of Directors of the Corporation certified by the Secretary, showing appointment of the successor custodian, and provided that such successor custodian is a bank or trust company, organized under the laws of the United States or of any State of the United States, having not less than two million dollars aggregate capital, surplus and undivided profits. Upon the termination of this Agreement as a part of the transfer of assets, either to a successor custodian or otherwise, the Custodian will deliver securities held by it hereunder, when so authorized and directed by resolution of the Board of Directors of the Corporation, to a duly appointed agent of the successor custodian or to the appropriate transfer agents for transfer of registration and delivery as directed. Delivery of assets on termination of this Agreement shall be effected in a reasonable, expeditious and orderly manner; and in order to accomplish an orderly transition from the Custodian to the successor custodian, the Custodian shall continue to act as such under this Agreement as to assets in its possession or control. Termination as to each security shall become effective upon delivery to the successor custodian, its agent, or to a transfer agent for a specific security for the account of the successor custodian, and such delivery shall constitute effective delivery by the Custodian to the successor under this Agreement. In addition to the means of termination herein before authorized, this Agreement may be terminated at any time by the vote of a majority of the outstanding shares of the Corporation and after written notice of such action to the Custodian.
Amendment of Existing Warrant Agreement The Company and the Warrant Agent hereby amend the Existing Warrant Agreement as provided in this Section 2, effective as of the Merger Effective Time, and acknowledge and agree that the amendments to the Existing Warrant Agreement set forth in this Section 2 are necessary or desirable and that such amendments do not adversely affect the interests of the registered holders:
Incorporation of Covenants Reference is made to that certain Credit Agreement (Facility A) dated as of November 24, 1998 (as amended or modified prior to the date of the Guaranty, the "EXISTING CREDIT AGREEMENT") among Guarantor, the financial institutions named therein, Bank of America, N.A. (formerly Bank of America National Trust and Saving Association) and The Chase Manhattan Bank, as Co-Arrangers, and The First National Bank of Chicago, as administrative agent. Reference is further made to the covenants contained in Article VIII of the Existing Credit Agreement (hereinafter referred to as the "INCORPORATED COVENANTS"). So long as principal of and interest on any Loan (as defined in the Borrower Credit Agreement) or any other amount payable under the Borrower Credit Agreement or under any other Loan Document remains unpaid or unsatisfied or the Commitment (as defined in the Borrower Credit Agreement) has not been terminated, Guarantor shall comply with the Incorporated Covenants, it being agreed that such covenants and agreements shall survive any termination, cancellation or discharge of the Existing Credit Agreement. Guarantor agrees with Lender that the Incorporated Covenants (and all other relevant provisions of the Existing Credit Agreement related thereto, including without limitation all exhibits, schedules and the defined terms contained in Section 1.01 thereof, which are used in the Incorporated Covenants) are hereby incorporated by reference into this Guaranty to the same extent and with the same effect as if set forth fully herein and shall inure to the benefit of Lender, without giving effect to any waiver, amendment, modification or replacement of the Existing Credit Agreement or any term or provision of the Incorporated Covenants occurring subsequent to the date of this Guaranty, except to the extent otherwise specifically provided for in the following paragraph of this Section. In the event a waiver is granted under the Existing Credit Agreement or an amendment or modification is executed with respect to the Existing Credit Agreement, and such waiver, amendment and/or modification affects the Incorporated Covenants, then such waiver, amendment or modification shall be effective with respect to the Incorporated Covenants as incorporated by reference into this Guaranty only if consented to in writing by the Lender. In the event of any replacement of the Existing Credit Agreement with a similar credit facility (the "NEW FACILITY") the covenants contained in the New Facility which correspond to the covenants contained in Sections 8.01 and 8.02, respectively, of the Existing Credit Agreement shall become the Incorporated Covenants hereunder only if consented to in writing by Xxxxxx and, if such consent is not granted or if the Existing Credit Agreement is terminated and not replaced, then covenants contained in Sections 8.01 and 8.02, respectively, of the Existing Credit Agreement (together with any modifications or amendments approved in accordance with this paragraph) shall continue to be the Incorporated Covenants hereunder.
