Consents Amendments and Waivers 12.9.1. No amendment or modification of any provision of this Agreement shall be effective without the prior written agreement of the Required Lenders and Borrower, and no waiver of any Default or Event of Default shall be effective without the prior written consent of the Required Lenders; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that, without the prior consent of all Lenders, no waiver of any Default or Event of Default shall be effective if the Default or Event of Default relates to Borrower's failure to observe or perform any covenant that may not be amended without the unanimous written consent of Lenders as hereinafter set forth in this Section 12.9.
1. Notwithstanding the immediately preceding sentence, the written agreement of all Lenders (except a defaulting Lender as provided in Section 3.2 of this Agreement) shall be required to effectuate any amendment, modification or waiver that would (a) alter the provisions of Sections 2.6, 2.7, 2.8, 2.9, 4.6, 4.7, 5.1, 12, 14.2 or 14.3, the definitions of "Availability Reserve," "Borrowing Base" and the other defined terms used in such definitions, "Pro Rata," "Required Lenders" or any provision of this Agreement obligating Agent to take certain actions at the direction of the Required Lenders, or any provision of any of the Loan Documents regarding the Pro Rata treatment or obligations of Lenders; (b) increase or otherwise modify any of the Commitments (other than to reduce proportionately each Lender's Commitment in connection with any overall reduction in the amount of the Commitments); (c) alter or amend the rate of interest payable in respect of the Loans (except as may be expressly authorized by the Loan Documents or as may be necessary, in Agent's judgment, to comply with Applicable Law); (d) waive or agree to defer collection of any fee, termination charge or other charge provided for under any of the Loan Documents (except to the extent that the Required Lenders agree after and during the continuance of any Event of Default to a waiver or deferral of any termination charge provided for in Section 5.2.3 hereof) or the unused line fee in Section 2.2.3 hereof; (e) subordinate the payment of any of the Obligations to any other Debt or the priority of any Liens granted to Agent under any of the Loan Documents to Liens granted to any other Person, except as currently provided in or contemplated by the Loan Documents in connection with Borrower's incurrence of Permitted Purchase Money Debt, and except for Liens granted by an Obligor to financial institutions with respect to amounts on deposit with such financial institutions to cover returned items, processing and analysis charges and other charges in the ordinary course of business that relate to deposit accounts with such financial institutions; (f) alter the time or amount of repayment of any of the Loans or waive any Event of Default resulting from nonpayment of the Loans on the due date thereof (or within any applicable period of grace); (g) forgive any of the Obligations, except any portion of the Obligations held by a Lender who consents in writing to such forgiveness; or (h) release any Obligor from liability for any of the Obligations. In no event shall any amendment to the provisions of Sections 1.3 or 3.1.3 be effective without the prior written consent of Fleet. No Lender shall be authorized to amend or modify any Note held by it, unless such amendment or modification is consented to in writing by all Lenders; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the foregoing shall not be construed to prohibit an amendment or modification to any provision of this Agreement that may be effected pursuant to this Section 12.9.1 by agreement of Borrower and the Required Lenders even though such an amendment or modification results in an amendment or modification of the Notes by virtue of the incorporation by reference in each of the Notes of this Agreement. The making of any Loans hereunder by any Lender during the existence of a Default or Event of Default shall not be deemed to constitute a waiver of such Default or Event of Default. Any waiver or consent granted by Lenders hereunder shall be effective only if in writing and then only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which it was given.
Amendments and Termination This Agreement may be amended or terminated only by a written agreement signed by the Company and the Executive.
Notices, Consents, Etc The Custodian shall deliver to the Funds, in the most expeditious manner practicable, all notices, consents or announcements affecting or relating to Securities held by the Custodian on behalf of the Funds that are received by the Custodian, and, upon receipt of Proper Instructions, the Custodian shall execute and deliver such consents or other authorizations as may be required.
CONSENTS, AMENDMENTS, WAIVERS, ETC Any consent or approval required or permitted by this Credit Agreement to be given by the Banks may be given, and any term of this Credit Agreement, the other Loan Documents or any other instrument related hereto or mentioned herein may be amended, and the performance or observance by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries of any terms of this Credit Agreement, the other Loan Documents or such other instrument or the continuance of any Default or Event of Default may be waived (either generally or in a particular instance and either retroactively or prospectively) with, but only with, the written consent of the Borrower and the written consent of the Majority Banks. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a decrease in the rate of interest on the Notes (other than interest accruing pursuant to (S)6.11.2 following the effective date of any waiver by the Majority Banks of the Default or Event of Default relating thereto), the amount of the Commitments of the Banks (other than increases which are contemplated by (S)20.1.2 hereof), and the amount of the Commitment Fee or Letter of Credit Fees hereunder may not be reduced without the written consent of the Borrower and the written consent of each Bank affected thereby; the Revolving Credit Loan Maturity Date and the Term Loan Maturity Date may not be postponed, no date fixed for payment may be postponed and the amount of any scheduled payment may not be reduced without the written consent of each Bank affected thereby; this (S)27 and the definition of Majority Banks may not be amended, without the written consent of all of the Banks; all or substantially all of the Collateral (except if the release or disposition of such Collateral is permitted or provided for in the provisions of (S)10.5.2 hereof) may not be released without the written consent of all of the Banks; and the amount of the Agent's Fee or any Letter of Credit Fees payable for the Agent's account and (S)16 may not be amended without the written consent of the Agent. No waiver shall extend to or affect any obligation not expressly waived or impair any right consequent thereon. No course of dealing or delay or omission on the part of the Agent or any Bank in exercising any right shall operate as a waiver thereof or otherwise be prejudicial thereto. No notice to or demand upon the Borrower shall entitle the Borrower to other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.
Consents and Notices Seller shall have obtained or effected all consents, approvals, waivers, notices and filings required in connection with the execution and delivery by Seller of this Agreement or consummation by Seller of the transactions contemplated hereby, and any notice or waiting period relating thereto shall have expired with all requirements lawfully imposed having been satisfied in all material respects.
Modifications, Waivers, Amendments and Consents (a) Subject to this Section 3.21, the Servicer may agree to any modification, waiver, forbearance, or amendment of any term of any Mortgage Loan without the consent of the Trustee or any Certificateholder. All modifications, waivers, forbearances or amendments of any Mortgage Loan shall be in writing and shall be consistent with Customary Servicing Procedures.
(b) The Servicer shall not agree to enter into, and shall not enter into, any modification, waiver (other than a waiver referred to in Section 3.13, which waiver, if any, shall be governed by Section 3.13), forbearance or amendment of any term of any Mortgage Loan if such modification, waiver, forbearance, or amendment would:
(i) affect the amount or timing of any related payment of principal, interest or other amount payable thereunder;
(ii) in the Servicer's judgment, materially impair the security for such Mortgage Loan or reduce the likelihood of timely payment of amounts due thereon; or
(iii) otherwise constitute a "significant modification" within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(b); unless, in either case, (A) such Mortgage Loan is 90 days or more past due or (B) the Servicer delivers to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such modification, waiver, forbearance or amendment would not affect the REMIC status of either the Upper-Tier REMIC or the Lower-Tier REMIC and, in either case, such modification, waiver, forbearance or amendment is reasonably likely to produce a greater recovery with respect to such Mortgage Loan than would liquidation. Subject to Customary Servicing Procedures, the Servicer may permit a forbearance for a Mortgage Loan which in the Servicer's judgment is subject to imminent default.
(c) Any payment of interest, which is deferred pursuant to any modification, waiver, forbearance or amendment permitted hereunder, shall not, for purposes hereof, including, without limitation, calculating monthly distributions to Certificateholders, be added to the unpaid principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan, notwithstanding that the terms of such Mortgage Loan or such modification, waiver or amendment so permit.
(d) The Servicer may, as a condition to granting any request by a Mortgagor for consent, modification, waiver, forbearance or amendment, the granting of which is within the Servicer's discretion pursuant to the Mortgage Loan and is permitted by the terms of this Agreement, require that such Mortgagor pay to the Servicer, as additional servicing compensation, a reasonable or customary fee for the additional services performed in connection with such request, together with any related costs and expenses incurred by the Servicer, which amount shall be retained by the Servicer as additional servicing compensation.
(e) The Servicer shall notify the Trustee, in writing, of any modification, waiver, forbearance or amendment of any term of any Mortgage Loan and the date thereof, and shall deliver to the Trustee (or, at the direction of the Trustee, the Custodian) for deposit in the related Mortgage File, an original counterpart of the agreement relating to such modification, waiver, forbearance or amendment, promptly (and in any event within ten Business Days) following the execution thereof; provided, however, that if any such modification, waiver, forbearance or amendment is required by applicable law to be recorded, the Servicer (i) shall deliver to the Trustee a copy thereof and (ii) shall deliver to the Trustee such document, with evidence of notification upon receipt thereof from the public recording office.
Amendments and Waivers (a) If the ICANN Board of Directors determines that an amendment to this Agreement (including to the Specifications referred to herein) and all other registry agreements between ICANN and the Applicable Registry Operators (the “Applicable Registry Agreements”) is desirable (each, a “Special Amendment”), ICANN may adopt a Special Amendment pursuant to the requirements of and process set forth in this Section 7.6; provided that a Special Amendment may not be a Restricted Amendment.
(b) Prior to submitting a Special Amendment for Registry Operator Approval, ICANN shall first consult in good faith with the Working Group regarding the form and substance of such Special Amendment. The duration of such consultation shall be reasonably determined by ICANN based on the substance of the Special Amendment. Following such consultation, ICANN may propose the adoption of a Special Amendment by publicly posting such amendment on its website for no less than thirty (30) calendar days (the “Posting Period”) and providing notice of such proposed amendment to the Applicable Registry Operators in accordance with Section 7.9. ICANN will consider the public comments submitted on a Special Amendment during the Posting Period (including comments submitted by the Applicable Registry Operators).
(c) If, within one hundred eighty (180) calendar days following the expiration of the Posting Period (the “Approval Period”), the ICANN Board of Directors approves a Special Amendment (which may be in a form different than submitted for public comment, but must address the subject matter of the Special Amendment posted for public comment, as modified to reflect and/or address input from the Working Group and public comments), ICANN shall provide notice of, and submit, such Special Amendment for approval or disapproval by the Applicable Registry Operators. If, during the sixty (60) calendar day period following the date ICANN provides such notice to the Applicable Registry Operators, such Special Amendment receives Registry Operator Approval, such Special Amendment shall be deemed approved (an “Approved Amendment”) by the Applicable Registry Operators, and shall be effective and deemed an amendment to this Agreement on the date that is sixty (60) calendar days following the date ICANN provided notice of the approval of such Approved Amendment to Registry Operator (the “Amendment Effective Date”). In the event that a Special Amendment does not receive Registry Operator Approval, the Special Amendment shall be deemed not approved by the Applicable Registry Operators (a “Rejected Amendment”). A Rejected Amendment will have no effect on the terms and conditions of this Agreement, except as set forth below.
(d) If the ICANN Board of Directors reasonably determines that a Rejected Amendment falls within the subject matter categories set forth in Section 1.2 of Specification 1, the ICANN Board of Directors may adopt a resolution (the date such resolution is adopted is referred to herein as the “Resolution Adoption Date”) requesting an Issue Report (as such term is defined in ICANN’s Bylaws) by the Generic Names Supporting Organization (the “GNSO”) regarding the substance of such Rejected Amendment. The policy development process undertaken by the GNSO pursuant to such requested Issue Report is referred to herein as a “PDP.” If such PDP results in a Final Report supported by a GNSO Supermajority (as defined in ICANN’s Bylaws) that either (i) recommends adoption of the Rejected Amendment as Consensus Policy or (ii) recommends against adoption of the Rejected Amendment as Consensus Policy, and, in the case of (i) above, the Board adopts such Consensus Policy, Registry Operator shall comply with its obligations pursuant to Section 2.2 of this Agreement. In either case, ICANN will abandon the Rejected Amendment and it will have no effect on the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 7.6(d), the ICANN Board of Directors shall not be required to initiate a PDP with respect to a Rejected Amendment if, at any time in the twelve (12) month period preceding the submission of such Rejected Amendment for Registry Operator Approval pursuant to Section 7.6(c), the subject matter of such Rejected Amendment was the subject of a concluded or otherwise abandoned or terminated PDP that did not result in a GNSO Supermajority recommendation.
(e) If (a) a Rejected Amendment does not fall within the subject matter categories set forth in Section 1.2 of Specification 1, (b) the subject matter of a Rejected Amendment was, at any time in the twelve (12) month period preceding the submission of such Rejected Amendment for Registry Operator Approval pursuant to Section 7.6(c), the subject of a concluded or otherwise abandoned or terminated PDP that did not result in a GNSO Supermajority recommendation, or (c) a PDP does not result in a Final Report supported by a GNSO Supermajority that either (A) recommends adoption of the Rejected Amendment as Consensus Policy or (B) recommends against adoption of the Rejected Amendment as Consensus Policy (or such PDP has otherwise been abandoned or terminated for any reason), then, in any such case, such Rejected Amendment may still be adopted and become effective in the manner described below. In order for the Rejected Amendment to be adopted, the following requirements must be satisfied:
(i) the subject matter of the Rejected Amendment must be within the scope of ICANN’s mission and consistent with a balanced application of its core values (as described in ICANN’s Bylaws);
(ii) the Rejected Amendment must be justified by a Substantial and Compelling Reason in the Public Interest, must be likely to promote such interest, taking into account competing public and private interests that are likely to be affected by the Rejected Amendment, and must be narrowly tailored and no broader than reasonably necessary to address such Substantial and Compelling Reason in the Public Interest;
(iii) to the extent the Rejected Amendment prohibits or requires conduct or activities, imposes material costs on the Applicable Registry Operators, and/or materially reduces public access to domain name services, the Rejected Amendment must be the least restrictive means reasonably available to address the Substantial and Compelling Reason in the Public Interest;
(iv) the ICANN Board of Directors must submit the Rejected Amendment, along with a written explanation of the reasoning related to its determination that the Rejected Amendment meets the requirements set out in subclauses (i) through (iii) above, for public comment for a period of no less than thirty (30) calendar days; and
(v) following such public comment period, the ICANN Board of Directors must (a) engage in consultation (or direct ICANN management to engage in consultation) with the Working Group, subject matter experts, members of the GNSO, relevant advisory committees and other interested stakeholders with respect to such Rejected Amendment for a period of no less than sixty (60) calendar days; and (b) following such consultation, reapprove the Rejected Amendment (which may be in a form different than submitted for Registry Operator Approval, but must address the subject matter of the Rejected Amendment, as modified to reflect and/or address input from the Working Group and public comments) by the affirmative vote of at least two-‐thirds of the members of the ICANN Board of Directors eligible to vote on such matter, taking into account any ICANN policy affecting such eligibility, including ICANN’s Conflict of Interest Policy (a “Board Amendment”). Such Board Amendment shall, subject to Section 7.6(f), be deemed an Approved Amendment, and shall be effective and deemed an amendment to this Agreement on the date that is sixty (60) calendar days following the date ICANN provided notice of the approval of such Board Amendment to Registry Operator (which effective date shall be deemed the Amendment Effective Date hereunder). Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Board Amendment may not amend the registry fees charged by ICANN hereunder, or amend this Section 7.6.
(f) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 7.6(e), a Board Amendment shall not be deemed an Approved Amendment if, during the thirty (30) calendar day period following the approval by the ICANN Board of Directors of the Board Amendment, the Working Group, on the behalf of the Applicable Registry Operators, submits to the ICANN Board of Directors an alternative to the Board Amendment (an “Alternative Amendment”) that meets the following requirements:
(i) sets forth the precise text proposed by the Working Group to amend this Agreement in lieu of the Board Amendment;
(ii) addresses the Substantial and Compelling Reason in the Public Interest identified by the ICANN Board of Directors as the justification for the Board Amendment; and
(iii) compared to the Board Amendment is: (a) more narrowly tailored to address such Substantial and Compelling Reason in the Public Interest, and (b) to the extent the Alternative Amendment prohibits or requires conduct or activities, imposes material costs on Affected Registry Operators, or materially reduces access to domain name services, is a less restrictive means to address the Substantial and Compelling Reason in the Public Interest. Any proposed amendment that does not meet the requirements of subclauses (i) through
Notices and Consents Each of the Parties will give any notices to, make any filings with, and use its best efforts to obtain any authorizations, consents, and approvals of governmental authorities necessary in order to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby.
Duration and Termination of Agreement; Amendments (a) Subject to prior termination as provided in subparagraph (d) of this paragraph 9, this Agreement shall continue in force until July 31, 2001 and indefinitely thereafter, but only so long as the continuance after such period shall be specifically approved at least annually by vote of the Trust's Board of Trustees or by vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of the Portfolio.
(b) This Agreement may be modified by mutual consent of the Advisor, the Sub-Advisor and the Portfolio subject to the provisions of Section 15 of the 1940 Act, as modified by or interpreted by any applicable order or orders of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") or any rules or regulations adopted by, or interpretative releases of, the Commission.
(c) In addition to the requirements of subparagraphs (a) and (b) of this paragraph 9, the terms of any continuance or modification of this Agreement must have been approved by the vote of a majority of those Trustees of the Trust who are not parties to this Agreement or interested persons of any such party, cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on such approval.
(d) Either the Advisor, the Sub-Advisor or the Portfolio may, at any time on sixty (60) days' prior written notice to the other parties, terminate this Agreement, without payment of any penalty, by action of its Board of Trustees or Directors, or with respect to the Portfolio by vote of a majority of its outstanding voting securities. This Agreement shall terminate automatically in the event of its assignment.
Modifications, Amendments and Waivers This Agreement may not be modified or amended, or any provision thereof waived, except in a writing signed by all the parties to this Agreement.
