General Responsibilities Issuer hereby engages Distributor to act as exclusive distributor of the shares of each class of the Funds. The Funds subject to this Agreement as of the date hereof are identified on SCHEDULE A, which may be amended from time to time in accordance with Section 11 below. Sales of a Fund's shares shall be made only to investors residing in those states in which such Fund is registered. After effectiveness of each Fund’s registration statement, Distributor will hold itself available to receive, as agent for the Fund, and will receive by mail, telex, telephone, or such other method as may be agreed upon between Distributor and Issuer, orders for the purchase of Fund shares, and will accept or reject such orders on behalf of the Fund in accordance with the provisions of the applicable Fund’s prospectus. Distributor will be available to transmit orders, as promptly as possible after it accepts such orders, to the Fund’s transfer agent for processing at the shares’ net asset value next determined in accordance with the prospectuses.
Additional Responsibilities The Sub-Advisor may, but shall not be under any duty to, perform services on behalf of the Fund which are not required by this Agreement upon the request of the Fund's Board of Directors. Such services will be performed on behalf of the Fund and the Sub-Advisor's charges in rendering such services will be billed monthly to the Fund, subject to examination by the Fund's independent certified public accountants. Payment or assumption by the Sub-Advisor of any Fund expense that the Sub-Advisor is not required to pay or assume under this Agreement shall not relieve the Sub-Advisor of any of its obligations to the Fund nor obligate the Sub-Advisor to pay or assume any similar Fund expenses on any subsequent occasions.
Custodial Responsibilities ARTICLE IX
Financial Responsibility A Controlled Affiliate shall be operated in a manner that provides reasonable financial assurance that it can fulfill all of its contractual obligations to its customers.
Landlord’s Responsibilities Landlord shall maintain and keep in good order and repair the roof, guttering and downspouts and the structural walls and foundations (neither windows nor doors are regarded as walls for the purpose of this paragraph), of the Premises, except that Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for the cost of any repair occasioned by the act or negligence of Tenant, its agents, employees, invitees or licensees. Landlord shall not be required to make any other improvements or repairs of any kind upon the Premises and appurtenances thereto. Landlord's sole liability shall be limited to the cost of the repair. Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant for any interruption of Tenant's business or inconvenience caused Tenant or Tenant's assigns, sublessees, customers, invitees, employees, licensees or concessionaires in the Premises on account of Landlord's performance of any repair, maintenance or replacement in the Premises, or any other work therein pursuant to Landlord's rights or obligations under this lease so long as such work is being conducted by Landlord in accordance with the terms of the Lease and without negligence or disregard for Tenant's business operations. There shall be no abatement of rent and no liability of Landlord by reason of any injury to or interference with Tenant's business arising from the making of any repairs, alterations or improvements in or to any portion of the Premises or in or to fixtures, appurtenances and equipment therein. Any and all repairs for which Landlord is responsible shall be made within a reasonable time after written notice of the necessity of such repairs has been given by Tenant.
Legal Responsibility Nothing herein contained shall render any Party liable for the obligations of any other Party hereunder and the rights, obligations and liabilities of the Parties are several in accordance with their respective obligations, and not joint.
Tenant’s Responsibilities Except as expressly provided in Paragraph 10.1 above, Tenant shall, at its sole cost, maintain the entire Premises and every part thereof, including without limitation, windows, skylights, window frames, plate glass, freight docks, doors and related hardware, interior walls and partitions, and the electrical, plumbing, lighting, heating and air conditioning systems in good order, condition and repair. Tenant shall deliver to Landlord, every six (6) months during the Lease Term, a certificate of maintenance or its equivalent, signed by a licensed HVAC repair and maintenance contractor and stating that the heating and air conditioning systems servicing the Premises have been inspected, serviced and are in good order, condition and repair. Tenant's failure to deliver said certificate or its equivalent within thirty (30) days following written notice from Landlord that said certificate is past due shall be a Default by Tenant. If Tenant fails to make repairs or perform maintenance work required of Tenant hereunder within fifteen (15) days after notice from Landlord specifying the need for such repairs or maintenance work, Landlord or Landlord's agents may, in addition to all other rights and remedies available hereunder or by law and without waiving any alternative remedies, enter into the Premises and make such repairs and/or perform such maintenance work. If Landlord makes such repairs and/or performs such maintenance work, Tenant shall reimburse Landlord upon demand and as Additional Rent, for the cost of such repairs and/or maintenance work. Landlord shall have no liability to Tenant for any damage, inconvenience or interference with the use of the Premises by Tenant or Tenant's agents as a result of Landlord performing any such repairs or maintenance (unless such damage, inconvenience or interference is caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord or its agents, employees or contractors); provided, however, under no circumstances shall Landlord be liable to Tenant for claims of lost profits, loss of business or lost income. Tenant shall reimburse Landlord, on demand and as Additional Rent, for the cost of damage to the Premises and/or Common Area caused by Tenant or Tenant's agents, employees or contractors. Tenant expressly waives the benefits of any statute now or hereafter in effect (including without limitation the provisions of subsection 1 of Section 1932, Section 1941 and Section 1942 of the California Civil Code and any similar law, statute or ordinance now or hereafter in effect) which would otherwise afford Tenant the right to make repairs at Landlord's expense (or to deduct the cost of such repairs from Rentals due hereunder) or to terminate this Lease because of Landlord's failure to keep the Premises in good and sanitary order.
Landlord's Responsibility During the term of this Lease, Landlord shall maintain in good condition and repair, and replace as necessary, the roof, exterior walls, foundation and structural frame of the Building and the parking and landscaped areas, the costs of which shall be included in Operating Expenses; provided, however, that to the extent any of the foregoing items require repair because of the negligence, misuse, or default of Tenant, its employees, agents, customers or invitees, Landlord shall make such repairs solely at Tenant's expense.
Specific Responsibilities In addition to its overall responsibility for monitoring and providing a forum to discuss and coordinate the Parties’ activities under this Agreement, the JSC shall in particular:
Tenant's Responsibility Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant or to any other person for (i) damage to property or injury or death to persons due to the condition of the Leased Premises, the Building or the common areas, or (ii) the occurrence of any accident in or about the Leased Premises or the common areas, or (iii) any act or neglect of Tenant or any other tenant or occupant of the Building or of any other person, unless such damage, injury or death is directly and solely the result of Landlord's negligence; and Tenant hereby releases Landlord from any and all liability for the same. Tenant shall be liable for, and shall indemnify and defend Landlord from, any and all liability for (i) any act or neglect of Tenant and any person coming on the Leased Premises or common areas by the license of Tenant, express or implied, (ii) any damage to the Leased Premises, and (iii) any loss of or damage or injury to any person (including death resulting therefrom) or property occurring in, on or about the Leased Premises, regardless of cause, except for any loss or damage covered by Landlord's all risk coverage insurance as provided in Section 8.02 and except for that caused solely and directly by Landlord's negligence. This provision shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.
