  • Additional Conditions As a condition to any such assignment or subletting, whether or not Landlord’s consent is required, Landlord may require: (i) that any assignee or subtenant agree, in writing at the time of such assignment or subletting, that if Landlord gives such party notice that Tenant is in default under this Lease, such party shall thereafter make all payments otherwise due Tenant directly to Landlord, which payments will be received by Landlord without any liability except to credit such payment against those due under the Lease, and any such third party shall agree to attorn to Landlord or its successors and assigns should this Lease be terminated for any reason; provided, however, in no event shall Landlord or its successors or assigns be obligated to accept such attornment; and (ii) A list of Hazardous Materials, certified by the proposed assignee or sublessee to be true and correct, which the proposed assignee or sublessee intends to use, store, handle, treat, generate in or release or dispose of from the Premises, together with copies of all documents relating to such use, storage, handling, treatment, generation, release or disposal of Hazardous Materials by the proposed assignee or subtenant in the Premises or on the Project, prior to the proposed assignment or subletting, including, without limitation: permits; approvals; reports and correspondence; storage and management plans; plans relating to the installation of any storage tanks to be installed in or under the Project (provided, said installation of tanks shall only be permitted after Landlord has given its written consent to do so, which consent may be withheld in Landlord’s sole and absolute discretion); and all closure plans or any other documents required by any and all federal, state and local Governmental Authorities for any storage tanks installed in, on or under the Project for the closure of any such tanks.

  • Study Period (a) The Acquiror shall have the right, until 5:00 p.m. on the last day of the Study Period, and thereafter if the Acquiror notifies the Contributor that the Acquiror has elected to proceed to Closing in the manner described below, to enter upon the Real Property and to perform, at the Acquiror's expense, such economic, surveying, engineering, environmental, topographic and marketing tests, studies and investigations as the Acquiror may deem appropriate. If such tests, studies and investigations warrant, in the Acquiror's sole, absolute and unreviewable discretion, the acquisition of the Property for the purposes contemplated by the Acquiror, then the Acquiror may elect to proceed to Closing and shall so notify the Contributor prior to the expiration of the Study Period. If for any reason the Acquiror does not so notify the Contributor of its determination to proceed to Closing prior to the expiration of the Study Period, or if the Acquiror notifies the Contributor, in writing, prior to the expiration of the Study Period that it has determined not to proceed to Closing, this Agreement automatically shall terminate, the Acquiror shall be released from any further liability or obligation under this Agreement. (b) During the Study Period, the Contributor shall make available to the Acquiror, its agents, auditors, engineers, attorneys and other designees, for inspection copies of all existing architectural and engineering studies, surveys, title insurance policies, zoning and site plan materials, correspondence, environmental audits and other related materials or information if any, relating to the Property which are in, or come into, the Contributor's possession or control. (c) The Acquiror hereby indemnifies and defends the Contributor against any loss, damage or claim arising from entry upon the Real Property by the Acquiror or any agents, contractors or employees of the Acquiror.

(d) During the Study Period, the Acquiror, at its expense, shall cause an examination of title to the Property to be made, and, prior to the expiration of the Study Period, shall notify the Contributor of any defects in title shown by such examination that the Acquiror is unwilling to accept.

If such defects consist of deeds of trust, mechanics' liens, tax liens or other liens or charges in a fixed sum or capable of computation as a fixed sum, the Contributor, at its option, shall either pay and discharge (in which event, the Escrow Agent is authorized to pay and discharge at Closing) such defects at Closing, or provide bonds or indemnities in favor of the Title Company in order to remove such items from the Title Policy at Closing. If the Contributor is unwilling or unable to cure any other such defects by Closing, the Acquiror shall elect (1) to waive such defects and proceed to Closing without any abatement in the Consideration or (2) to terminate this Agreement. The Contributor shall not, after the date of this Agreement, subject the Property to any liens, encumbrances, covenants, conditions, restrictions, easements or other title matters or seek any zoning changes or take any other action which may affect or modify the status of title without the Acquiror's prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. All title matters revealed by the Acquiror's title examination and not objected to by the Acquiror as provided above shall be deemed Permitted Title Exceptions. If Acquiror shall fail to examine title and notify the Contributor of any such title objections by the end of the Study Period, all such title exceptions (other than those rendering title unmarketable and those that are to be paid at Closing as provided above) shall be deemed Permitted Title Exceptions.

  • General Conditions; Definitions 1.01. The General Conditions (as defined in the Appendix to this Agreement) constitute an integral part of this Agreement. 1.02. Unless the context requires otherwise, the capitalized terms used in this Agreement have the meanings ascribed to them in the General Conditions or in the Appendix to this Agreement.

  • Additional Conditions to Closing (a) All necessary approvals under federal and state securities laws and other authorizations relating to the issuance of the Acquisition Shares and the transfer of the Shares shall have been received. (b) No preliminary or permanent injunction or other order by any federal, state or foreign court of competent jurisdiction which prohibits the consummation of the Exchange shall have been issued and remain in effect. No statute, rule, regulation, executive order, stay, decree, or judgment shall have been enacted, entered, issued, promulgated or enforced by any court or governmental authority which prohibits or restricts the consummation of the Exchange. All authorizations, consents, orders or approvals of, or declarations or filings with, and all expirations of waiting periods imposed by, any Governmental Body which are necessary for the consummation of the Exchange, other than those the failure to obtain which would not materially adversely affect the consummation of the Exchange or in the aggregate have a Material Adverse Effect on SKYC and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole, shall have been filed, occurred or been obtained (all such permits, approvals, filings and consents and the lapse of all such waiting periods being referred to as the “Requisite Regulatory Approvals”) and all such Requisite Regulatory Approvals shall be in full force and effect. (c) There shall not be any action taken, or any statute, rule, regulation or order enacted, entered, enforced or deemed applicable to the Exchange, by any Governmental Body which, in connection with the grant of a Requisite Regulatory Approval, imposes any material condition or material restriction upon SKYC or its subsidiaries or FDH, including, without limitation, requirements relating to the disposition of assets, which in any such case would so materially adversely impact the economic or business benefits of the Exchange as to render inadvisable the consummation of the Exchange.

  • ORIGINAL CONDITIONS A. All reinsurance under this Contract shall be subject to the same rates, terms, conditions, waivers and interpretations and to the same modifications and alterations as the Policy, subject to the terms and conditions of this Contract, and the Reinsurer shall be credited with its exact proportion of the Insured's premiums due to the Company under the Policy. B. Nothing herein shall in any manner create any obligation or establish any right against the Reinsurer in favor of third parties or any persons not parties to this Contract except as provided with respect to the Insured in this Contract or in the Assumption of Liability Endorsement. C. In the event of a Quota Share Reduction, as that term is defined under the Policy, each Subscribing Reinsurer's participation percentage in this Contract shall be increased in the proportion that 100% bears to the total Subscribing Reinsurer's participation after the Quota Share Reduction. For the avoidance of doubt, such participation percentage increase is necessary to account for the reduction provisions of the Reduction Under Quota Share Contract Article of the Policy. If applicable, the Remaining Aggregate Retention, as that term is defined under the Policy, would likewise be adjusted. Any termination of a Subscribing Reinsurer's participation in this Contract shall not require the consent of any other Subscribing Reinsurer. As respects each Subscribing Reinsurer still participating on this Contract following the Reinsurer Reduction Date, as that term is defined under the Policy, in no event shall its share of the aggregate limit following the Reinsurer Reduction Date be greater than its share of the aggregate limit prior to the Reinsurer Reduction Date, notwithstanding that its participation percentage may increase as a result thereof. As an example, where the aggregate limit is $300,000,000 with each of three Subscribing Reinsurers retaining a 33.33% share ($100,000,000 each), and one Subscribing Reinsurer's share is terminated, then the resulting aggregate limit becomes $200,000,000 with each of the two remaining Subscribing Reinsurers retaining a 50.00% share (i.e., 33.33% x 100%/66.67%). As respects each of the two remaining Subscribing Reinsurers, its share of the aggregate limit shall remain at $100,000,000.
