Litigation and Proceedings There are no actions, suits, proceedings, or investigations pending or, to the knowledge of the Company after reasonable investigation, threatened by or against the Company or affecting the Company or its properties, at law or in equity, before any court or other governmental agency or instrumentality, domestic or foreign, or before any arbitrator of any kind. The Company does not have any knowledge of any material default on its part with respect to any judgment, order, injunction, decree, award, rule, or regulation of any court, arbitrator, or governmental agency or instrumentality or of any circumstances which, after reasonable investigation, would result in the discovery of such a default.
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.
Other Proceedings No action, suit, investigation, bankruptcy or other proceeding (including, without limitation, the enactment or promulgation of a statute or rule) by or before any arbitrator or any Governmental Authority shall be threatened or pending and no preliminary or permanent injunction or order by a state or federal court shall have been entered (i) in connection with this Agreement or any transaction contemplated hereby or (ii) which, in any case, in the judgment of the Administrative Agent could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Change.
Notification and Defense of Proceeding Promptly after receipt by the Indemnitee of notice of any Proceeding, the Indemnitee shall, if a request for indemnification or an advancement of Expenses in respect thereof is to be made against the Company under this Agreement, notify the Company in writing of the commencement thereof; but the omission so to notify the Company shall not relieve it from any liability that it may have to the Indemnitee. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, with respect to any such Proceeding of which the Indemnitee notifies the Company:
(a) The Company shall be entitled to participate therein at its own expense;
(b) Except as otherwise provided in this Section 15(b), to the extent that it may wish, the Company, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, shall be entitled to assume the defense thereof, with counsel satisfactory to the Indemnitee. After notice from the Company to the Indemnitee of its election so to assume the defense thereof, the Company shall not be liable to the Indemnitee under this Agreement for any expenses of counsel subsequently incurred by the Indemnitee in connection with the defense thereof except as otherwise provided below. The Indemnitee shall have the right to employ the Indemnitee’s own counsel in such Proceeding, but the fees and expenses of such counsel incurred after notice from the Company of its assumption of the defense thereof shall be at the expense of the Indemnitee unless (i) the employment of counsel by the Indemnitee has been authorized by the Company, (ii) the Indemnitee shall have reasonably concluded that there may be a conflict of interest between the Company and the Indemnitee in the conduct of the defense of such Proceeding, or (iii) the Company shall not within 60 calendar days of receipt of notice from the Indemnitee in fact have employed counsel to assume the defense of the Proceeding, in each of which cases the fees and expenses of the Indemnitee’s counsel shall be at the expense of the Company. The Company shall not be entitled to assume the defense of any Proceeding brought by or on behalf of the Company or as to which the Indemnitee shall have made the conclusion provided for in (ii) above; and
(c) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Company shall not be liable to indemnify the Indemnitee under this Agreement for any amounts paid in settlement of any Proceeding effected without the Company’s written consent, or for any judicial or other award, if the Company was not given an opportunity, in accordance with this Section 15, to participate in the defense of such Proceeding. The Company shall not settle any Proceeding in any manner that would impose any penalty or limitation on or disclosure obligation with respect to the Indemnitee, or that would directly or indirectly constitute or impose any admission or acknowledgment of fault or culpability with respect to the Indemnitee, without the Indemnitee’s written consent. Neither the Company nor the Indemnitee shall unreasonably withhold its consent to any proposed settlement.
Defense of Proceedings The Company will be entitled to participate, at its own expense, in any Proceeding which may be subject to indemnification or advancement of Expenses covered hereunder of which it has notice, and the Company will be entitled to assume the defense of the Indemnified Parties therein, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnitee; provided, however, that the Company shall not be entitled to assume the defense of the Indemnified Parties in any Proceeding if the Indemnitee has reasonably concluded that there may be a conflict of interest between the Company and the Indemnified Parties with respect to such Proceeding. The Indemnitee shall have the right to employ his own counsel in any such Proceeding, but the fees and expenses of such counsel incurred after notice from the Company of its assumption of the defense thereof shall be at the expense of the Indemnitee unless (i) the employment of separate counsel by the Indemnitee (and the Company’s payment of the expenses of such counsel) has been authorized by the Company; (ii) there may be one or more defenses or claims available to the Indemnitee that are different from or additional to those available to the Company; (iii) Indemnitee has reasonably concluded that there may be a conflict of interest between the Company and the Indemnified Parties with respect to such Proceeding or (iv) the Company shall not in fact have employed counsel to assume the defense of the Indemnitee in such Proceeding after being provided notice thereof, such counsel shall not in fact have assumed such defense or such counsel shall not be acting, in connection therewith, with reasonable diligence; it being understood that in the case of any of the foregoing clauses (i), (ii) or (iii) the fees and expenses of the Indemnitee’s counsel shall be advanced by the Company in accordance with this Agreement.
Control of Proceedings The Party responsible for the Tax under this Agreement shall control audits and disputes related to such Taxes (including action taken to pay, compromise or settle such Taxes). The Seller and the Buyer shall jointly control, in good faith with each other, audits and disputes relating to Straddle Periods. Reasonable out-of-pocket expenses with respect to such contests shall be borne by the Seller and the Buyer in proportion to their responsibility for such Taxes as set forth in this Agreement. Except as otherwise provided by this Agreement, the noncontrolling Party shall be afforded a reasonable opportunity to participate in such proceedings at its own expense.
Discontinuance of Proceedings In case the Collateral Agent shall have instituted any proceeding to enforce any right, power or remedy under this Agreement by foreclosure, sale, entry or otherwise, and such proceeding shall have been discontinued or abandoned for any reason or shall have been determined adversely to the Collateral Agent, then and in every such case the relevant Assignor, the Collateral Agent and each holder of any of the Obligations shall be restored to their former positions and rights hereunder with respect to the Collateral subject to the security interest created under this Agreement, and all rights, remedies and powers of the Collateral Agent shall continue as if no such proceeding had been instituted.
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.
Commencement of Proceedings Any claim notified pursuant to paragraph 4.2 of this Schedule 4 shall (if it has not been previously satisfied, settled or withdrawn) be deemed to be irrevocably withdrawn 9 months after the relevant time limit set out in paragraph 2 of this Schedule 4 unless, at the relevant time, legal proceedings in respect of the relevant claim have been commenced by being both issued and served except:
(A) where the claim relates to a contingent liability, in which case it shall be deemed to have been withdrawn unless legal proceedings in respect of it have been commenced by being both issued and served with 9 months of it having become an actual liability; or
(B) where the claim is a claim for breach of any Warranty of which notice is given for the purposes of paragraph 4.2 of this Schedule 4 at a time when the amount set out in paragraph 1.1 of this Schedule 4 has not been exceeded, in which case it shall be deemed to have been withdrawn unless legal proceedings in respect of it have been commenced by being both issued and served within 9 months of the date of any subsequent notification to that Seller pursuant to paragraph 4.2 of this Schedule 4 of one or more claims which result(s) in the total amount claimed in all claims notified to that Seller pursuant to paragraph 4.2 of this Schedule 4 exceeding the amount set out in paragraph 1.1 of this Schedule 4 for the first time.
Actions; Proceedings There are no actions, suits or proceedings pending or, to the knowledge of the Assignor, threatened, before or by any court, administrative agency, arbitrator or governmental body (A) with respect to any of the transactions contemplated by this Assignment Agreement or (B) with respect to any other matter that in the judgment of the Assignor will be determined adversely to the Assignor and will, if determined adversely to the Assignor, materially adversely affect its ability to perform its obligations under this Assignment Agreement.
