In addition, the Company agrees to reimburse the Agent for the following "out-of-pocket" expenses of the Agent within five days after receipt of an itemized statement of such expenses, to the extent that payment of such expenses has not been or is not to be made directly by the Company: (i) costs of stationery, appropriate forms, envelopes, checks, postage, printing (except cost of printing prospectuses, annual and semi-annual reports and proxy materials) and mailing charges, including returned mail and proxies, incurred by the Agent with respect to materials and communications sent to shareholders in carrying out its duties to the Company under this Agreement; (ii) long distance telephone costs incurred by the Agent for telephone communications and microfilm and storage costs for transfer agency records and documents; (iii) costs of all ancillary and supporting services and related expenses (other than insurance premiums) reasonably required by and provided to the Agent, other than by its employees or employees of an affiliate, with respect to functions of the Company being performed by it in its capacity as Agent hereunder, including legal advice and representation in litigation to the extent that such payments are permitted under Paragraph 7 of this Agreement and charges to Agent made by any Subagent; (iv) costs for special reports or information furnished on request pursuant to this Agreement and not specifically required by the Agent by Paragraph 3 of this Agreement; and (v) reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the Agent in connection with the duties of the Agent described in Paragraph (3)(1)(i). In addition, the Company agrees to promptly pay over to the Agent any fees or payment of charges it may receive from a shareholder for services furnished to the shareholder by the Agent. Services and operations incident to the sale and distribution of the Company's shares, including sales communications, confirmations of investments (not including reinvestment of dividends) and the clearing or collection of payments will not be for the account or at the expense of the Company under this Agreement.
Certain Rights of the Administrative Agent If the Administrative Agent shall request instructions from the Required Lenders with respect to any action or actions (including the failure to act) in connection with this Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to refrain from such act or taking such act, unless and until it shall have received instructions from such Lenders; and the Administrative Agent shall not incur liability to any Person by reason of so refraining. Without limiting the foregoing, no Lender shall have any right of action whatsoever against the Administrative Agent as a result of the Administrative Agent acting or refraining from acting hereunder in accordance with the instructions of the Required Lenders where required by the terms of this Agreement.
Benefits of the Administration Agreement Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall give to any Person other than the parties hereto and their successors hereunder, the Owner Trustee, any separate trustee or co-trustee appointed under Section 6.10 of the Indenture and the Noteholders, any benefit or any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, the Owner Trustee is a third party beneficiary of this Agreement and is entitled to the rights and benefits hereunder and may enforce the provisions hereof as if it were a party hereto.
Amounts and Terms of the Advances and Letters of Credit Section 2.01 The Revolving Advances and Letters of Credit.
Retention of the Administrator The Trust hereby retains the Administrator to act as the administrator of the Portfolios and to furnish the Portfolios with the management and administrative services as set forth in Article 2 below. The Administrator hereby accepts such employment to perform the duties set forth below. The Administrator shall, for all purposes herein, be deemed to be an independent contractor and, unless otherwise expressly provided or authorized, shall have no authority to act for or represent the Trust in any way and shall not be deemed an agent of the Trust.
Limitation of Liability of the Administrator The duties of the Administrator shall be confined to those expressly set forth herein, and no implied duties are assumed by or may be asserted against the Administrator hereunder. The Administrator shall not be liable for any error of judgment or mistake of law or for any loss arising out of any act or omission in carrying out its duties hereunder, except a loss resulting from willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the performance of its duties, or by reason of reckless disregard of its obligations and duties hereunder, except as may otherwise be provided under provisions of applicable law which cannot be waived or modified hereby. Any person, even though also an employee, or agent of the Administrator, who may be or become an officer, Trustee, employee or agent of the Trust or the Funds shall be deemed, when rendering services to the Trust or the Funds, or acting on any business of that party, to be rendering such services to or acting solely for that party and not as a partner, employee, or agent or one under the control or direction of the Administrator even though paid by it. So long as the Administrator acts in good faith and with due diligence and without negligence, the Trust assumes full responsibility and shall indemnify the Administrator, its employees, agents, directors, officers and nominees and hold them harmless from and against any and all actions, suits and claims, whether groundless or otherwise, and from and against any and all losses, damages, costs, charges, reasonable counsel fees and disbursements, payments, expenses and liabilities (including reasonable investigation expenses) arising directly or indirectly out of the Administrator’s actions taken or non-actions with respect to the performance of services hereunder. The indemnity and defense provisions set forth herein shall indefinitely survive the termination of this Agreement. The rights hereunder shall include the right to reasonable advances of defense expenses in the event of any pending or threatened litigation with respect to which indemnification hereunder may ultimately be merited. In order that the indemnification provision contained herein shall apply, however, it is understood that if in any case the Trust may be asked to indemnify or hold the Administrator harmless, the Trust shall be fully and promptly advised of all pertinent facts concerning the situation in question, and it is further understood that the Administrator will use all reasonable care to identify and notify the Trust promptly concerning any situation which presents or appears likely to present the probability of such a claim for indemnification against the Trust, but failure to do so in good faith shall not affect the rights hereunder. The Trust shall be entitled to participate at its own expense or, if it so elects, to assume the defense of any suit brought to enforce any claims subject to this indemnity provision. If the Trust elects to assume the defense of any such claim, the defense shall be conducted by counsel chosen by the Trust and satisfactory to the Administrator, whose approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. In the event that the Trust elects to assume the defense of any suit and retain counsel, the Administrator shall bear the fees and expenses of any additional counsel retained by it. If the Trust does not elect to assume the defense of a suit, it will reimburse the Administrator for the reasonable fees and expenses of any counsel retained by the Administrator. The Administrator may apply to the Trust at any time for instructions and may consult counsel for the Trust or its own counsel and with accountants and other experts with respect to any matter arising in connection with the Administrator’s duties, and the Administrator shall not be liable or accountable for any action taken or omitted by it in good faith in accordance with such instruction or with the opinion of such counsel, accountants or other experts. The Administrator shall be protected in acting upon any document which it reasonably believes to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper person or persons. The Administrator will not be held to have notice of any change of authority of any officers, employees or agents of the Trust until receipt of written notice thereof from the Trust.
Indemnification of the Administrative Agent Each Lender agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower or the Collateral Manager), ratably in accordance with its Pro Rata Share from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against the Administrative Agent in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents, or any action taken or omitted by the Administrative Agent hereunder or thereunder; provided that, the Lenders shall not be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from the Administrative Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender agrees to reimburse the Administrative Agent, ratably in accordance with its Pro Rata Share promptly upon demand for any out-of-pocket expenses (including counsel fees) incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection with the administration, modification, amendment or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of rights or responsibilities under, this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, to the extent that such expenses are incurred in the interests of or otherwise in respect of the Lenders hereunder and/or thereunder and to the extent that the Administrative Agent is not reimbursed for such expenses by the Borrower or the Collateral Manager.
Acknowledgement of Discretionary Nature of the Plan; No Vested Rights By accepting the Restricted Stock Units, the Participant consents to participation in the Plan and acknowledges receipt of a copy of the Plan. The Participant understands that the Company has unilaterally, gratuitously and in its sole discretion granted Restricted Stock Units under the Plan to individuals who may be Participants of the Company or its subsidiaries throughout the world. The decision is a limited decision that is entered into upon the express assumption and condition that any grant will not economically or otherwise bind the Company or any of its subsidiaries on an ongoing basis. Consequently, the Participant understands that the Restricted Stock Units are granted on the assumption and condition that the Restricted Stock Units and the Shares acquired upon settlement of the Restricted Stock Units shall not become a part of any employment contract (either with the Company or any of its subsidiaries) and shall not be considered a mandatory benefit, salary for any purposes (including severance compensation) or any other right whatsoever. In addition, the Participant understands that this grant would not be made to the Participant but for the assumptions and conditions referenced above; thus, the Participant acknowledges and freely accepts that should any or all of the assumptions be mistaken or should any of the conditions not be met for any reason the Restricted Stock Units shall be null and void. The Participant understands and agrees that, as a condition of the Restricted Stock Units, unless otherwise provided in Section 4 (Termination of Employment) of the Agreement, any unvested Restricted Stock Units as of the date the Participant ceases active employment will be forfeited without entitlement to the underlying Shares or to any amount of indemnification in the event of termination of employment or service. The Participant acknowledges that the Participant has read and specifically accepts the conditions referred to in the Agreement regarding the impact of a termination on the Restricted Stock Units.
Restrictions on Grant of the Award and Issuance of Shares The grant of the Award and issuance of shares of Stock upon settlement of the Award shall be subject to compliance with all applicable requirements of federal, state or foreign law with respect to such securities. No shares of Stock may be issued hereunder if the issuance of such shares would constitute a violation of any applicable federal, state or foreign securities laws or other law or regulations or the requirements of any stock exchange or market system upon which the Stock may then be listed. The inability of the Company to obtain from any regulatory body having jurisdiction the authority, if any, deemed by the Company’s legal counsel to be necessary to the lawful issuance of any shares subject to the Award shall relieve the Company of any liability in respect of the failure to issue such shares as to which such requisite authority shall not have been obtained. As a condition to the settlement of the Award, the Company may require the Participant to satisfy any qualifications that may be necessary or appropriate, to evidence compliance with any applicable law or regulation and to make any representation or warranty with respect thereto as may be requested by the Company.
