Term of Agreement; Amendment This Agreement shall become effective as of the date first written above and will continue in effect for a period of three (3) years. This Agreement may be terminated by either party upon giving 90 days prior written notice to the other party or such shorter period as is mutually agreed upon by the parties. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement may be terminated by any party upon the breach of the other party of any material term of this Agreement if such breach is not cured within 15 days of notice of such breach to the breaching party.

Notice of Issuance, Amendment, Renewal, Extension; Certain Conditions Each issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of a Letter of Credit shall be subject to the conditions set forth in Section 6.02. To request the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or the amendment, renewal or extension of an outstanding Letter of Credit), the Borrower shall hand deliver or fax (or transmit by electronic communication, if arrangements for doing so have been approved by the relevant Issuing Bank) to any Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent (not less than three (3) Business Days in advance of the requested date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension) a notice:
(i) requesting the issuance of a Letter of Credit or identifying the Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank to be amended, renewed or extended;
(ii) specifying the date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (which shall be a Business Day);
(iii) specifying the date on which such Letter of Credit is to expire (which shall comply with Section 2.08(c));
(iv) specifying the amount of such Letter of Credit;
(v) specifying the name and address of the beneficiary thereof and such other information as shall be necessary to prepare, amend, renew or extend such Letter of Credit;
(vi) specifying the amount of the then effective Borrowing Base and whether a Borrowing Base Deficiency exists at such time, the current total Revolving Credit Exposures (without regard to the requested Letter of Credit or the requested amendment, renewal or extension of an outstanding Letter of Credit) and the pro forma total Revolving Credit Exposures (giving effect to the requested Letter of Credit or the requested amendment, renewal or extension of an outstanding Letter of Credit); and
(vii) confirming the conditions set for in Section 6.02 have been satisfied. A Letter of Credit shall be issued, amended, renewed or extended only if (and each notice shall constitute a representation and warranty by the Borrower that) after giving effect to the requested issuance, amendment, renewal or extension, as applicable, (i) the LC Exposure shall not exceed the LC Commitment and (ii) the total Revolving Credit Exposures shall not exceed the total Commitments. If requested by any Issuing Bank, the Borrower also shall submit a letter of credit application on such Issuing Bank’s standard form in connection with any request for a Letter of Credit; provided that, in the event of any conflict between such application and the terms of this Agreement, the terms of this Agreement shall control.
Amendment, Extension and Waiver Subject to applicable law, at any time prior to the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the parties may (a) amend this Agreement, (b) extend the time for the performance of any of the obligations or other acts of either party hereto, (c) waive any inaccuracies in the representations and warranties contained herein or in any document delivered pursuant hereto, or (d) waive compliance with any of the agreements or conditions contained in Articles V and VI hereof or otherwise; provided, however, that after any approval of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement by Innes Street's shareholders, there may not be, without further approval of such shareholders, any amendment of this Agreement which reduces the amount or changes the form of the consideration to be delivered to Innes Street shareholders hereunder other than as contemplated by this Agreement. This Agreement may not be amended except by an instrument in writing authorized by the respective Boards of Directors and signed, by duly authorized officers, on behalf of the parties hereto. Any agreement on the part of a party hereto to any extension or waiver shall be valid only if set forth in an instrument in writing signed by a duly authorized officer on behalf of such party, but such waiver or failure to insist on strict compliance with such obligation, covenant, agreement or condition shall not operate as a waiver of, or estoppel with respect to, any subsequent or other failure.
Amendment and Waivers Any term or provision of this Agreement may be amended, and the observance of any term of this Agreement may be waived (either generally or in a particular instance and either retroactively or prospectively) only by a writing signed by the party to be bound thereby. The waiver by a party of any breach hereof for default in payment of any amount due hereunder or default in the performance hereof shall not be deemed to constitute a waiver of any other default or any succeeding breach or default.
Term of Agreement; Amendment; Assignment A. This Agreement shall become effective with respect to each Fund listed on Exhibit A hereof as of the date hereof and, with respect to each Fund not in existence on that date, on the date an amendment to Exhibit A to this Agreement relating to that Fund is executed. Unless sooner terminated as provided herein, this Agreement shall continue in effect for two years from the date hereof. Thereafter, if not terminated, this Agreement shall continue in effect automatically as to each Fund for successive one-year periods, provided such continuance is specifically approved at least annually by: (i) the Trust’s Board, or (ii) the vote of a “majority of the outstanding voting securities” of a Fund, and provided that in either event, the continuance is also approved by a majority of the Trust’s Board who are not “interested persons” of any party to this Agreement, by a vote cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on such approval.
B. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement may be terminated, without the payment of any penalty, with respect to a particular Fund: (i) through a failure to renew this Agreement at the end of a term, (ii) upon mutual consent of the parties, or (iii) upon not less than 60 days’ written notice, by either the Trust upon the vote of a majority of the members of its Board who are not “interested persons” of the Trust and have no direct or indirect financial interest in the operation of this Agreement, or by vote of a “majority of the outstanding voting securities” of a Fund, or by the Distributor. The terms of this Agreement shall not be waived, altered, modified, amended or supplemented in any manner whatsoever except by a written instrument signed by the Distributor and the Trust. If required under the 1940 Act, any such amendment must be approved by the Trust’s Board, including a majority of the Trust’s Board who are not “interested persons” of any party to this Agreement, by a vote cast in person at a meeting for the purpose of voting on such amendment. In the event that such amendment affects the Advisor, the written instrument shall also be signed by the Advisor. This Agreement will automatically terminate in the event of its “assignment.”
C. As used in this Section, the terms “majority of the outstanding voting securities,” “interested person,” and “assignment” shall have the same meaning as such terms have in the 1940 Act.
D. Sections 7 and 8 shall survive termination of this Agreement.
Limited Waiver 3.1 Solely during the Waiver Period (as defined below) and not at any other time, the Lenders hereby agree to temporarily waive the Anticipated Defaults and the right to accelerate the Obligations as a result thereof. During the Waiver Period, the Anticipated Defaults shall be deemed not to have occurred or be continuing, and the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall have no right to enforce rights or exercise remedies with respect to the Anticipated Defaults. The waivers provided pursuant to the terms of this Agreement shall automatically and without further action or notice by any party expire on the Limited Waiver Termination Date (as defined below).
3.2 No waiver provided herein shall remain in effect after the Limited Waiver Termination Date. Upon the Limited Waiver Termination Date, the Anticipated Defaults shall be deemed to be Events of Default in full force and effect, having occurred as of September 30, 2012 and continuing uninterrupted thereafter for all purposes, including, without limitation, for purposes of calculating and charging default interest under Section 2.9(c) of the Credit Agreement, and the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall retain all of the rights and remedies related thereto. This Agreement shall not have the effect of tolling or extending any applicable cure period beyond the period that would have applied absent this Agreement. Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to constitute a waiver by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders of any Default, whether now existing or hereafter arising, or of any right or remedy the Administrative Agent or the Lenders may have under any of the Loan Documents or applicable law, except to the extent expressly set forth herein, nor shall the Lenders’ execution and delivery of this Agreement establish a course of dealing among the Lenders and the Borrower or in any way obligate the Lenders to hereafter provide any further waiver of any kind, to provide any further time prior to the enforcement of their rights or to provide any other financial accommodations to or on behalf of the Borrower or any other Loan Party.
3.3 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Lenders do not now waive, nor do they agree that they will waive in the future, any further Default or Event of Default. Neither this Agreement nor any course of dealing or delay or failure of the Lenders in exercising any right, remedy, power or privilege under or in connection with any Event of Default shall affect any other or future exercise thereof or the existence of any other right, remedy, power or privilege, except to the extent expressly set forth herein; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right, remedy, power or privilege or any abandonment or discontinuance of the steps to enforce any such right, remedy, power or privilege (pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise) preclude any further exercise thereof or of any other right, remedy, power or privilege, except to the extent expressly set forth herein. For the purposes hereof,
Limited Waivers At the request of the Borrowers and the Guarantors the Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereby waive on a temporary basis, expiring on the Termination Date, the following Specified Events of Defaults:
(a) Any failure by the Borrowers to comply with Section 6.03(a) of the Credit Agreement requiring the Borrowers to provide prompt notice of the occurrence of any Default in regards to the Specified Events of Default, which events shall include any occurrence during the Temporary Waiver Period of those events set forth on Schedule I hereto, is hereby waived (and any breach of a representation or warranty related to the Specified Events of Default is hereby similarly waived).
(b) Any failure by the Borrowers to comply with Section 6.03(b) of the Credit Agreement requiring the Borrowers to provide prompt notice upon the occurrence of any matter that has resulted or could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, is hereby waived (and any related existing breach of a representation or warranty is hereby similarly waived) insofar as, and only insofar as, such failure to provide notice (i) related to the non-renewal of the Cenovus Services Agreement and the Xxxxxx Services Agreement, and (ii) any occurrence during the Temporary Waiver Period of the events set forth on Schedule II hereto (and any existing breach of a representation or warranty related to (i) and (ii) above).
(c) Any Event of Default pursuant to Section 8.01(g) of the Credit Agreement resulting from the Borrowers’ admission that they would become unable to pay their debts as they generally become due is hereby waived (and any related breach of a representation or warranty is hereby similarly waived), and to the extent any forecasting by the Loan Parties during the Temporary Waiver Period evidences the Borrowers’ inability to pay debts as they come due and owing or insolvency, any Default or Event of Default arising therefrom is waived. The Temporary Waiver in this Section 4 is effective only in respect of those Specified Events of Default, and except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, no other waivers, amendments or modifications are intended or made by this Agreement. No failure or delay on the part of the Administrative Agent, or any Lender in exercising any power or right under the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power or right preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other power or right. No waiver or approval by the Administrative Agent or any Lender under this Agreement, the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document shall, except as may be otherwise stated in such waiver or approval, be applicable to any subsequent transaction or any Default or Event of Default under any Loan Document. Notwithstanding any language herein to the contrary, nothing herein is intended to nor shall waive (temporary or otherwise) or otherwise release the Borrowers or Guarantors from any other Event of Default under any Loan Document that is not a Specified Event of Default. Similarly, notwithstanding any language herein to the contrary, nothing herein is intended to nor shall release the Borrowers or Guarantors from any Specified Event of Default, except for such Temporary Waiver as specified herein. Further, any post-default interest payable at the Default Rate resulting from the Specified Events of Default which would otherwise apply, is hereby waived for the Specified Events of Default for the duration of the Temporary Waiver Period, unless (i) a Default or Event of Default other than the Specified Events of Default occurs or has occurred, or, (ii) following the Termination Date, the Administrative Agent elects in its sole discretion (or is otherwise directed by the Required Lenders), to assess post-default interest at the Default Rate in accordance with the Credit Agreement and so notifies the Borrowers.
