No Duty to Seek Employment The Executive shall not be under any duty or obligation to seek or accept other employment following termination of employment, and no amount, payment or benefits due to the Executive hereunder shall be reduced or suspended if the Executive accepts subsequent employment, except as expressly set forth herein.
RESERVED RIGHT TO DELEGATE DUTIES AND SERVICES TO OTHERS The Manager in assuming responsibility for the various services as set forth in this Agreement reserves the right to enter into agreements with others for the performance of certain duties and services or to delegate the performance of some or all of such duties and services to Principal Life Insurance Company, or one or more affiliates thereof; provided, however, that entry into any such agreements shall not relieve the Manager of its duty to review and monitor the performance of such persons to the extent provided in the agreements with such persons or as determined from time to time by the Board of Directors.
No Duty to Mitigate Executive will not be required to mitigate the amount of any payment contemplated by this Agreement, nor will any earnings that Executive may receive from any other source reduce any such payment.
No Duty to Pursue Others It shall not be necessary for Lender (and each Borrower Entity hereby waives any rights which such Borrower Entity may have to require Lender), in order to enforce the obligations of such Borrower Entity hereunder, first to (a) institute suit or exhaust its remedies against any Other Borrower or others liable on the Debt or any other person, (b) enforce Lender’s rights against any collateral mortgaged, pledged or granted by any Other Borrower which shall ever have been given to secure the Debt (“Other Borrower Collateral”), (c) enforce Lender’s rights against any other guarantors of the Debt, (d) join Borrower or any others liable on the Debt in any action against any Other Borrower seeking to enforce the Loan Documents, (e) exhaust any remedies available to Lender against any collateral which shall ever have been given to secure the Debt, or (f) resort to any other means of obtaining payment of the Loan by any Other Borrower. Lender shall not be required to mitigate damages or take any other action pertaining to any Other Borrower or any Other Borrower Collateral to reduce, collect or enforce the Debt from any Other Borrower.
No duty to monitor The Agent shall not be bound to enquire:
Standard of Care; Uncontrollable Events; Limitation of Liability SMC shall use reasonable professional diligence to ensure the accuracy of all services performed under this Agreement, but shall not be liable to the Company for any action taken or omitted by SMC in the absence of bad faith, willful misfeasance, negligence or reckless disregard by it of its obligations and duties. The duties of SMC shall be confined to those expressly set forth herein, and no implied duties are assumed by or may be asserted against SMC hereunder. SMC shall maintain adequate and reliable computer and other equipment necessary or appropriate to carry out its obligations under this Agreement. Upon the Company's reasonable request, SMC shall provide supplemental information concerning the aspects of its disaster recovery and business continuity plan that are relevant to the services provided hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision of this Agreement, SMC assumes no responsibility hereunder, and shall not be liable for, any damage, loss of data, delay or any other loss whatsoever caused by events beyond its reasonable control. Events beyond SMC's reasonable control include, without limitation, force majeure events. Force majeure events include natural disasters, actions or decrees of governmental bodies, and communication lines failures that are not the fault of either party. In the event of force majeure, computer or other equipment failures or other events beyond its reasonable control, SMC shall follow applicable procedures in its disaster recovery and business continuity plan and use all commercially reasonable efforts to minimize any service interruption. SMC shall provide the Company, at such times as the Company may reasonably require, copies of reports rendered by independent public accountants on the internal controls and procedures of SMC relating to the services provided by SMC under this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, in no event shall SMC, its affiliates or any of its or their directors, officers, employees, agents or subcontractors be liable for exemplary, punitive, special, incidental, indirect or consequential damages, or lost profits, each of which is hereby excluded by agreement of the parties regardless of whether such damages were foreseeable or whether either party or any entity has been advised of the possibility of such damages.
Avoidance of Inconsistent Position; Services Not Exclusive In connection with purchases or sales of portfolio securities and other investments for the account of the Fund, neither you nor any of your directors, officers or employees shall act as a principal or agent or receive any commission. You or your agent shall arrange for the placing of all orders for the purchase and sale of portfolio securities and other investments for the Fund's account with brokers or dealers selected by you in accordance with Fund policies as expressed in the Registration Statement. If any occasion should arise in which you give any advice to clients of yours concerning the Shares of the Fund, you shall act solely as investment counsel for such clients and not in any way on behalf of the Fund. Your services to the Fund pursuant to this Agreement are not to be deemed to be exclusive and it is understood that you may render investment advice, management and services to others. In acting under this Agreement, you shall be an independent contractor and not an agent of the Trust. Whenever the Fund and one or more other accounts or investment companies advised by you have available funds for investment, investments suitable and appropriate for each shall be allocated in accordance with procedures believed by you to be equitable to each entity. Similarly, opportunities to sell securities shall be allocated in a manner believed by you to be equitable. The Fund recognizes that in some cases this procedure may adversely affect the size of the position that may be acquired or disposed of for the Fund.
Conditions to Receipt of Severance No Duty to Mitigate (a) Separation Agreement and Release of Claims. Executive will not receive severance pay or benefits other than the Accrued Obligations unless (x) Executive signs and does not revoke a separation agreement and release of claims in the form attached as Exhibit A, but with any appropriate reasonable modifications, reflecting changes in applicable law, as is necessary to provide the Company with the protection it would have if the Release was executed as of the date of this Agreement (the “Release”) and (y) such Release becomes effective and irrevocable no later than sixty (60) days following the termination date (such deadline, the “Release Deadline”). If the Release does not become effective and irrevocable by the Release Deadline, Executive will forfeit any rights to severance or benefits under this Agreement. All payments will be made upon the effectiveness of the Release but will be delayed until a subsequent calendar year if necessary so their timing does not result in penalty taxation under Section 409A. Severance payments or benefits will not be paid or provided until the Release becomes effective and irrevocable. For avoidance of doubt, although Executive’s severance payments and benefits are contractual rights, not “damages,” Executive is not required to seek other employment or otherwise “mitigate damages” as a condition of receiving such payments and benefits.
Failure to Enforce Not a Waiver The failure of the Company to enforce at any time any provision of this Agreement shall in no way be construed to be a waiver of such provision or of any other provision hereof.
Limitation of responsibility of Existing Lenders (a) Unless expressly agreed to the contrary, an Existing Lender makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility to a New Lender for:
