Material Changes Except as contemplated in the Prospectus, or disclosed in the Company’s reports filed with the Commission, there shall not have been any material adverse change in the authorized capital stock of the Company or any Material Adverse Effect or any development that would reasonably be expected to cause a Material Adverse Effect, or a downgrading in or withdrawal of the rating assigned to any of the Company’s securities (other than asset backed securities) by any rating organization or a public announcement by any rating organization that it has under surveillance or review its rating of any of the Company’s securities (other than asset backed securities), the effect of which, in the case of any such action by a rating organization described above, in the reasonable judgment of the Agent (without relieving the Company of any obligation or liability it may otherwise have), is so material as to make it impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with the offering of the Placement Shares on the terms and in the manner contemplated in the Prospectus.
Changes in Management Except as disclosed in the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package and the Prospectus, none of the persons who were officers or directors of the Company as of the date of the Pre-Pricing Prospectus has given oral or written notice to the Company or any of its subsidiaries of his or her resignation (or otherwise indicated to the Company or any of its subsidiaries an intention to resign within the next 24 months), nor has any such officer or director been terminated by the Company or otherwise removed from his or her office or from the board of directors, as the case may be (including, without limitation, any such termination or removal which is to be effective as of a future date) nor is any such termination or removal under consideration by the Company or its board of directors.
Changes in Agents 25.1 Each of the Issuers and the Guarantor agrees that, for so long as any Note is outstanding, or until moneys for the payment of all amounts in respect of all outstanding Notes have been made available to the Principal Paying Agent and have been returned to the Issuers or the Guarantor, as the case may be, as provided in this Agreement: (a) so long as any Notes are listed on any Stock Exchange, there will at all times be a Paying Agent, which may be the Principal Paying Agent (in the case of Bearer Notes), and a Transfer Agent (in the case of Registered Notes), which may be the Registrar, with a specified office in the place required by the rules and regulations of the relevant Stock Exchange or any other relevant authority; (b) there will at all times be a Principal Paying Agent and a Registrar; and (c) there will at all times be a Paying Agent in a jurisdiction within continental Europe, other than the jurisdictions in which the relevant Issuer or the Guarantor is incorporated. In addition, each of the Issuers and the Guarantor shall with the prior written approval of the Trustee immediately appoint a Paying Agent having a specified office in New York City in the circumstances described in Condition 6.5. Any variation, termination, appointment or change shall only take effect (other than in the case of insolvency (as provided in subclause 25.5), when it shall be of immediate effect) after not less than 30 nor more than 45 days' prior notice shall have been given to the Noteholders in accordance with Condition 14. 25.2 Each of the Principal Paying Agent and the Registrar may (subject as provided in subclause 25.4) at any time resign by giving at least 45 days' written notice to the Issuers, the Guarantor and the Trustee specifying the date on which its resignation shall become effective. 25.3 Each of the Principal Paying Agent and the Registrar may (subject as provided in subclause 25.4) be removed at any time by the Issuers and the Guarantor with the prior written approval of the Trustee on at least 45 days' notice in writing from the Issuers and the Guarantor specifying the date when the removal shall become effective. 25.4 Any resignation under subclause 25.2 or removal of the Principal Paying Agent or the Registrar under subclauses 25.3 or 25.5 shall only take effect upon the appointment by the Issuers and the Guarantor of a successor Principal Paying Agent or Registrar, as the case may be, approved in writing by the Trustee (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld) and (other than in cases of insolvency of the Principal Paying Agent or the Registrar, as the case may be) on the expiry of the notice to be given under clause 27. Each of the Issuers and the Guarantor agrees with the Principal Paying Agent and the Registrar that if, by the day falling 10 days before the expiry of any notice under subclause 25.2, the Issuers and the Guarantor have not appointed a successor Principal Paying Agent or Registrar, as the case may be, approved in writing by the Trustee, then the Principal Paying Agent or Registrar, as the case may be, shall be entitled, on behalf of the Issuers and the Guarantor, to appoint in its place as a successor Principal Paying Agent or Registrar, as the case may be, a reputable financial institution of good standing which the Issuers, the Guarantor and the Trustee shall approve. 25.5 In case at any time any Agent resigns, or is removed, or becomes incapable of acting or is adjudged bankrupt or insolvent, or files a voluntary petition in bankruptcy or makes an assignment for the benefit of its creditors or consents to the appointment of an administrator, liquidator or administrative or other receiver of all or a substantial part of its property, or admits in writing its inability to pay or meet its debts as they mature or suspends payment of its debts, or if any order of any court is entered approving any petition filed by or against it under the provisions of any applicable bankruptcy or insolvency law or if a receiver of it or of all or a substantial part of its property is appointed or if any officer takes charge or control of it or of its property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation, a successor Agent which shall be a reputable financial institution of good standing may be appointed by the Issuers and the Guarantor with the prior written approval of the Trustee (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld). Upon the appointment of a successor Agent and acceptance by it of its appointment and (other than in case of insolvency of the Agent when it shall be of immediate effect) upon expiry of the notice to be given under clause 27, the Agent so superseded shall cease to be an Agent under this Agreement. 25.6 Subject to subclause 25.1, the Issuers and the Guarantor may, with the prior written approval of the Trustee (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld), terminate the appointment of any of the other Agents at any time and/or appoint one or more further or other Agents by giving to the Principal Paying Agent and to the relevant other Agent at least 45 days' notice in writing to that effect (other than in the case of insolvency). 25.7 Subject to subclause 25.1, all or any of the Agents (other than the Principal Paying Agent) may resign their respective appointments under this Agreement at any time by giving the Issuers, the Guarantor, the Trustee and the Principal Paying Agent at least 45 days' written notice to that effect. 25.8 Upon its resignation or removal becoming effective, an Agent shall: (a) in the case of the Principal Paying Agent and the Registrar, immediately transfer all moneys and records held by it under this Agreement to the successor Agent; and (b) be entitled to the payment by the Issuers (failing which the Guarantor) of the commissions, fees and expenses payable in respect of its services under this Agreement before termination in accordance with the terms of clause 19. 25.9 Upon its appointment becoming effective, a successor or new Agent shall, without any further action, become vested with all the authority, rights, powers, duties and obligations of its predecessor or, as the case may be, an Agent with the same effect as if originally named as an Agent under this Agreement.
Material Change Subsequent to the Execution Time or, if earlier, the dates as of which information is given in the Registration Statement (exclusive of any amendment thereof), the Statutory Prospectus and the Prospectus (exclusive of any amendment or supplement thereto), there shall not have been (1) any change or decrease specified in the letter or letters referred to in paragraph (f) of this Section 6 or (2) any change, or any development involving a prospective change, in or affecting the condition (financial or otherwise), prospects, earnings, business or properties of the Company, whether or not arising from transactions in the ordinary course of business, except as set forth in or contemplated in the Statutory Prospectus and the Prospectus (exclusive of any supplement thereto) the effect of which, in any case referred to in clause (1) or (2) above, is, in the sole judgment of the Representative, so material and adverse as to make it impractical or inadvisable to proceed with the offering or delivery of the Securities as contemplated by the Registration Statement (exclusive of any amendment thereof), the Statutory Prospectus and the Prospectus (exclusive of any amendment or supplement thereto).
Changes in Writing Other than in connection with the addition of additional Subsidiaries, which become parties hereto by executing a supplement hereto in the form attached as Annex I, neither this Guaranty nor any provision hereof may be changed, waived, discharged or terminated orally, but only in writing signed by each of the Guarantors and the Administrative Agent.
Changes in Nature of Business Parent will not, and will not permit any of its Subsidiaries to, engage to any material extent in any business other than those businesses conducted by the Parent and its Subsidiaries on the date hereof or any business reasonably related or incidental thereto or representing a reasonable expansion thereof.
No Changes in Internal Controls Since the date of the most recent evaluation of the disclosure controls and procedures described in Section 1(tt) hereof, there have been no significant changes in the Partnership’s internal controls that materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect the Partnership’s internal controls over financial reporting.
Responsibilities of the Borrower (a) Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Borrower shall: (i) perform all of its obligations, if any, under the Contracts related to the Pool Receivables to the same extent as if interests in such Pool Receivables had not been transferred hereunder, and the exercise by the Administrative Agent, or any other Credit Party of their respective rights hereunder shall not relieve the Borrower from such obligations and (ii) pay when due any taxes, including any sales taxes payable in connection with the Pool Receivables and their creation and satisfaction. None of the Credit Parties shall have any obligation or liability with respect to any Collateral, nor shall any of them be obligated to perform any of the obligations of the Borrower, the Servicer or any Originator thereunder. (b) Alliance hereby irrevocably agrees that if at any time it shall cease to be the Servicer hereunder, it shall act (if the then-current Servicer so requests) as the data-processing agent of the Servicer and, in such capacity, Alliance shall conduct the data-processing functions of the administration of the Receivables and the Collections thereon in substantially the same way that Alliance conducted such data-processing functions while it acted as the Servicer. In connection with any such processing functions, the Borrower shall pay to Alliance its reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses from the Borrower’s own funds (subject to the priority of payments set forth in Section 4.01).
Material Change in Business Seller shall not make any material change in the nature of its business as carried on at the date hereof.
Changes in General Partner 7.01 Transfer of the General Partner's Partnership Interest. (a) The General Partner shall not transfer all or any portion of its General Partnership Interest or withdraw as General Partner except as provided in or in connection with a transaction contemplated by Section 7.01(c), (d) or (e). (b) The General Partner agrees that the Percentage Interest for it will at all times be in the aggregate at least .1%. (c) Except as otherwise provided in Section 6.04(b) or Section 7.01(d) or (e) hereof, the General Partner shall not engage in any merger, consolidation or other combination with or into another Person or sale of all or substantially all of its assets, (other than in connection with a change in the General Partner's state of incorporation or organizational form) in each case which results in a change of control of the General Partner (a "Transaction"), unless: (i) the consent of Limited Partners holding more than 50% of the Percentage Interests and more than 50% of the Special Percentage Interests of the Limited Partners is obtained; (ii) as a result of such Transaction all Limited Partners will receive (A) for each Partnership Unit an amount of cash, securities, or other property equal to the product of the Conversion Factor and the greatest amount of cash, securities or other property paid in the Transaction to a holder of one REIT Share in consideration of one REIT Share, provided that if, in connection with the Transaction, a purchase, tender or exchange offer ("Offer") shall have been made to and accepted by the holders of more than 50% of the outstanding REIT Shares, each holder of Partnership Units shall be given the option to exchange its Partnership Units for the greatest amount of cash, securities, or other property which a Limited Partner would have received had it (a) exercised its Redemption Right and (b) sold, tendered or exchanged pursuant to the Offer the REIT Shares received upon exercise of the Redemption Right immediately prior to the expiration of the Offer and (B) for each Special Partnership Unit an amount of cash, securities or other property (as applicable based upon the type of consideration and the proportions thereof paid to holders of REIT Shares in the Transaction) equal to the fair market value of such Special Partnership Unit at such time as determined in good faith by the General Partner by reference to the value paid for the REIT Shares; or (iii) the General Partner is the surviving entity in the Transaction and either (a) the holders of REIT Shares do not receive cash, securities, or other property in the Transaction or (B) all Limited Partners (other than the General Partner or any Subsidiary) receive an amount of cash, securities, or other property (expressed as an amount per REIT Share) that is no less than the product of the Conversion Factor and the greatest amount of cash, securities, or other property (expressed as an amount per REIT Share) received in the Transaction by any holder of REIT Shares and (2) in exchange for their Special Partnership Units, an amount of cash, securities or other property (as applicable based upon the type of consideration and proportion thereof paid to holders of REIT Shares in the Transaction) equal to the fair market value of such special Partnership Units at such time as determined in good faith by the General Partner by reference to the value paid for the REIT Shares. (d) Notwithstanding Section 7.01(c), the General Partner may merge with or into or consolidate with another entity if immediately after such merger or consolidation (i) substantially all of the assets of the successor or surviving entity (the "Survivor"), other than Partnership Units held by the General Partner, are contributed, directly or indirectly, to the Partnership as a Capital Contribution in exchange for Partnership Units with a fair market value equal to the value of the assets so contributed as determined by the Survivor in good faith and (ii) the Survivor expressly agrees to assume all obligations of the General Partner, as appropriate, hereunder. Upon such contribution and assumption, the Survivor shall have the right and duty to amend this Agreement as set forth in this Section 7.01(d). The Survivor shall in good faith arrive at a new method for the calculation of the Cash Amount, the REIT Shares Amount and Conversion Factor for a Partnership Unit after any such merger or consolidation so as to approximate the existing method for such calculation as closely as reasonably possible. Such calculation shall take into account, among other things, the kind and amount of securities, cash and other property that was receivable upon such merger or consolidation by a holder of REIT Shares or options, warrants or other rights relating thereto, and to which a holder of Partnership Units could have acquired had such Partnership Units been exchanged immediately prior to such merger or consolidation. Such amendment to this Agreement shall provide for adjustment to such method of calculation, which shall be as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the adjustments provided for with respect to the Conversion Factor. The Survivor also shall in good faith modify the definition of REIT Shares and make such amendments to Section 8.05 hereof so as to approximate the existing rights and obligations set forth in Section 8.05 as closely as reasonably possible. The above provisions of this Section 7.01(d) shall similarly apply to successive mergers or consolidations permitted hereunder. In respect of any transaction described in the preceding Paragraph, the General Partner is required to use its commercially reasonable efforts to structure such transaction to avoid causing the Limited Partners to recognize a gain for federal income tax purposes by virtue of the occurrence of or their participation in such transaction, provided such efforts are consistent with the exercise of the Board of Trustees' fiduciary duties to the shareholders of the General Partner under applicable law. (e) Notwithstanding Section 7.01(c), (i) a General Partner may transfer all or any portion of its General Partnership Interest to (a) a wholly-owned Subsidiary of such General Partner or (b) the owner of all of the ownership interests of such General Partner, and following a transfer of all of its General Partnership Interest, may withdraw as General Partner; and (ii) the General Partner may engage in a transaction not required by law or by the rules of any national securities exchange on which the REIT Shares are listed to be submitted to the vote of the holders of the REIT Shares. 7.02 Admission of a Substitute or Additional General Partner. A Person shall be admitted as a substitute or additional General Partner of the Partnership only if the following terms and conditions are satisfied: (a) the Person to be admitted as a substitute or additional General Partner shall have accepted and agreed to be bound by all the terms and provisions of this Agreement by executing a counterpart thereof and such other documents or instruments as may be required or appropriate in order to effect the admission of such Person as a General Partner, and a certificate evidencing the admission of such Person as a General Partner shall have been filed for recordation and all other actions required by Section 2.05 hereof in connection with such admission shall have been performed; (b) if the Person to be admitted as a substitute or additional General Partner is a corporation or a partnership it shall have provided the Partnership with evidence satisfactory to counsel for the Partnership of such Person's authority to become a General Partner and to be bound by the terms and provisions of this Agreement; and (c) counsel for the Partnership shall have rendered an opinion (relying on such opinions from other counsel and the state or any other jurisdiction as may be necessary) that the admission of the person to be admitted as a substitute or additional General Partner is in conformity with the Act, that none of the actions taken in connection with the admission of such Person as a substitute or additional General Partner will cause (i) the Partnership to be classified other than as a partnership for federal income tax purposes, or (ii) the loss of any Limited Partner's limited liability.
