RIGHTS OF MANAGEMENT Any rights of management which are not specifically mentioned in this Agreement and are not contrary to its intention shall continue in full force and effect for the duration of this contract, always provided that in the exercise of the aforementioned management rights there shall be no discrimination.
Rights of Members Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the Members shall look solely to the assets of the Company for the return of their Capital Contributions and no Member shall have any right or power to demand or receive property other than cash from the Company. No Member shall have priority over any other Member as to the return of his or its Capital Contribution, distributions or allocations.
Duties of Manager (a) Citi Management shall act as the Manager for each Fund and as such shall furnish continuously an investment program and shall determine from time to time what securities shall be purchased, sold or exchanged and what portion of the assets of each Fund shall be held uninvested, subject always to the restrictions of the Trust's Amended and Restated Declaration of Trust, dated as of September 28, 2001, and By-Laws, as each may be amended and restated from time to time (respectively, the "Declaration" and the "By-Laws"), the provisions of the 1940 Act, and the then-current Registration Statement of the Trust with respect to each Fund. The Manager shall also make recommendations as to the manner in which voting rights, rights to consent to corporate action and any other rights pertaining to each Fund's portfolio securities shall be exercised. Should the Board of Trustees of the Trust at any time, however, make any definite determination as to investment policy applicable to a Fund and notify the Manager thereof in writing, the Manager shall be bound by such determination for the period, if any, specified in such notice or until similarly notified that such determination has been revoked. The Manager shall take, on behalf of each Fund, all actions which it deems necessary to implement the investment policies determined as provided above, and in particular to place all orders for the purchase or sale of securities for the Fund's account with the brokers or dealers selected by it, and to that end the Manager is authorized as the agent of the Trust to give instructions to the custodian or any subcustodian of the Fund as to deliveries of securities and payments of cash for the account of the Fund. In connection with the selection of such brokers or dealers and the placing of such orders, brokers or dealers may be selected who also provide brokerage and research services (as those terms are defined in Section 28(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) to the Funds and/or the other accounts over which the Manager or its affiliates exercise investment discretion. The Manager is authorized to pay a broker or dealer who provides such brokerage and research services a commission for executing a portfolio transaction for a Fund which is in excess of the amount of commission another broker or dealer would have charged for effecting that transaction if the Manager determines in good faith that such amount of commission is reasonable in relation to the value of the brokerage and research services provided by such broker or dealer. This determination may be viewed in terms of either that particular transaction or the overall responsibilities which the Manager and its affiliates have with respect to accounts over which they exercise investment discretion. In making purchases or sales of securities or other property for the account of a Fund, the Manager may deal with itself or with the Trustees of the Trust or the Trust's underwriter or distributor or with its or their respective affiliates, or affiliates of affiliates, to the extent such actions are permitted by the 1940 Act. In providing the services and assuming the obligations set forth herein, the Manager may employ, at its own expense, or may request that the Trust employ at each Fund's expense, one or more subadvisers; provided that in each case the Manager shall supervise the activities of each subadviser. Any agreement between the Manager and a subadviser shall be subject to the renewal, termination and amendment provisions applicable to this Agreement. Any agreement between the Trust on behalf of a Fund and a subadviser may be terminated by the Manager at any time on not more than 60 days' nor less than 30 days' written notice to the Trust and the subadviser. To the extent authorized by the Board of Trustees and subject to applicable provisions of the 1940 Act, the investment program to be provided hereunder may entail the investment of all or a portion of the assets of a Fund in one or more investment companies. (b) Subject to the direction and control of the Board of Trustees of the Trust, Citi Management shall perform such administrative and management services as may from time to time be reasonably requested by the Trust with respect to each Fund, which shall include without limitation: (i) providing office space, equipment and clerical personnel necessary for maintaining the organization of the Trust and each Fund and for performing the administrative and management functions herein set forth; (ii) supervising the overall administration of each Fund, including negotiation of contracts and fees with and the monitoring of performance and xxxxxxxx of the Fund's transfer agent, shareholder servicing agents, custodian and other independent contractors or agents; and (iii) arranging for maintenance of books and records of the Trust with respect to each Fund. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Citi Management shall not be deemed to have assumed any duties with respect to, and shall not be responsible for, the distribution of shares of beneficial interest in any Fund, nor shall the Manager be deemed to have assumed or have any responsibility with respect to functions specifically assumed by any transfer agent, fund accounting agent, custodian or shareholder servicing agent of the Trust or any Fund. In providing administrative and management services as set forth herein, the Manager may, at its own expense, employ one or more subadministrators; provided that the Manager shall remain fully responsible for the performance of all administrative and management duties set forth herein and shall supervise the activities of each subadministrator.
RESERVATION OF MANAGEMENT RIGHTS Management of Company and the direction of the working forces are vested solely and exclusively in the Company, and shall not be abridged except by specific restrictions as set forth in this Agreement. The Management Rights, as set out herein, shall not be deemed to exclude the other rights of Management at common law.
Removal of Managers Unless otherwise restricted by law, any Manager or the entire Board may be removed or expelled, with or without cause, at any time by the Member, and any vacancy caused by any such removal or expulsion may be filled by action of the Member.
Voting Rights of Members The Members shall have voting rights as defined by the Membership Voting Interest of such Member and in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. Members do not have a right to cumulate their votes for any matter entitled to a vote of the Members, including election of Directors.
Removal of Manager Upon an Event of Default (and so long as the Private Owner is then the Manager), the Initial Member may remove the Private Owner as the Manager and appoint a successor Manager in the sole discretion of the Initial Member in accordance with Section 12.4, whereupon such successor Manager shall immediately succeed to all, or such portion as the Initial Member and successor Manager agree, of the rights, powers, duties and obligations of the “Manager” hereunder, and the predecessor Manager shall promptly take such actions as may be reasonably requested by the Initial Member to facilitate the transition to such successor Manager.
POWERS OF MANAGERS Pursuant to Section 10A-5A-4.07 of the Law, the Managers are authorized: (a) to make all decisions regarding the Company’s operations and legal affairs, including but not limited to: i. the sale, development, lease, or other disposition of the Company's assets; ii. the purchase or acquisition of other assets; iii. the management of all or any part of the Company's assets; iv. the borrowing of money and granting of security interests in the Company's assets; v. the pre-payment, refinancing, or extension of any loan affecting the Company's assets; vi. the compromise or release of any of the Company's claims or debts; and vii. the employment of persons, firms, or corporations for the operation and management of the Company's business; and (b) to execute and deliver: i. all contracts, conveyances, assignments, leases, sub-leases, franchise agreements, licensing agreements, management contracts, and maintenance contracts covering or affecting the Company's assets; ii. all checks, drafts, and other orders for the payment of the Company's funds; iii. all promissory notes, loans, security agreements and other similar documents; and iv. all other instruments of any kind relating to the Company's business and affairs.
Liability of Manager The Manager will not be liable to you for any act or omission, except for obligations expressly assumed by the Manager in the applicable AAU.
Indemnification of Manager The Company and each Managed Subsidiary, jointly and severally, agrees to indemnify the Manager, any controlling person of the Manager, and each of their respective directors, officers, employees, agents, Affiliates and representatives (each, an “Indemnified Party”) and hold each of them harmless against any and all losses, (including lost profits) claims, damages, expenses or liabilities, joint or several (collectively, “Liabilities”), to which the Indemnified Parties may become liable, directly or indirectly, arising out of, or relating to, this Agreement, unless it is finally judicially determined that the Liabilities resulted from the gross negligence, willful misconduct, bad faith or reckless disregard of duty of any Indemnified Party or fraudulent or dishonest acts of such Indemnified Party. The Company and the Managed Subsidiaries further agree to reimburse each Indemnified Party immediately upon request for all expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) as they are incurred in connection with the investigation of, preparation for, defense of, or providing evidence in any action, claim, suit, proceeding or investigation, directly or indirectly, arising out of, or relating to, this Agreement or the Manager’s services hereunder, whether or not pending or threatened and whether or not any Indemnified Party is a party to such proceeding. The Company and the Managed Subsidiaries also agree that no Indemnified Party shall have any liability (whether direct or indirect, in contract or tort or otherwise) to the Company, the Managed Subsidiaries, or any person asserting claims on behalf of or in right of the Company or the Managed Subsidiaries, directly or indirectly, arising out of, or relating to, this Agreement or the Manager’s services thereunder, unless it is finally judicially determined that such Liability resulted from the gross negligence, willful misconduct, bad faith or reckless disregard of duty of such Indemnified Party or fraudulent or dishonest acts of such Indemnified Party. Moreover, in no event, regardless of the legal theory advanced, shall any Indemnified Party be liable to the Company, the Managed Subsidiaries, or any person asserting claims on behalf of or in the right of the Company or the Managed Subsidiaries for any consequential, indirect, incidental or special damages of any nature. In the event that an Indemnified Party is requested or required to appear as a witness in any action brought by or on behalf of or against the Company or the Managed Subsidiaries or any Affiliate of the Company or the Managed Subsidiaries in which such Indemnified Party is not named as a defendant, the Company and the Managed Subsidiaries agree to reimburse the Manager for all expenses incurred by it in connection with such Indemnified Party’s appearing and preparing to appear as such a witness, including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of its legal counsel. The Company and the Managed Subsidiaries agree that, without the Manager’s prior written consent, they will not settle, compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment in or otherwise seek to terminate any claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation in respect of which indemnification could be sought hereunder (whether or not the Manager or any other Indemnified Party is an actual or potential party to such claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation), unless (a) such settlement, compromise, consent or termination includes an unconditional release of each Indemnified Party from any liabilities arising out of such claim action, suit, proceeding or investigation and (b) the parties agree that the terms of such settlement shall remain confidential.
