Termination and Reduction of the Commitments (a) Unless previously terminated, the Commitments shall terminate on the Maturity Date.
Renewal, Termination and Amendment This Agreement shall continue in effect, unless sooner terminated as hereinafter provided, until December 31, 2007 and shall continue in full force and effect for successive periods of one year thereafter, but only so long as each such continuance as to the Portfolio is specifically approved at least annually by vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of the Portfolio or by vote of a majority of the Trust's Board of Trustees; and further provided that such continuance is also approved annually by the vote of a majority of the Trustees who are not parties to this Agreement or interested persons of any such party. This Agreement may be terminated as to the Portfolio at any time, without payment of any penalty, by the Trust's Board of Trustees, by the Manager, or by a vote of the majority of the outstanding voting securities of the Portfolio upon 60 days' prior written notice to the Adviser, or by the Adviser upon 90 days' prior written notice to the Manager, or upon such shorter notice as may be mutually agreed upon. This Agreement shall terminate automatically and immediately upon termination of the Management Agreement between the Manager and the Trust. This Agreement shall terminate automatically and immediately in the event of its assignment. The terms "assignment" and "vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities" shall have the meaning set forth for such terms in the 1940 Act. This Agreement may be amended at any time by the Adviser and the Manager, subject to approval by the Trust's Board of Trustees and, if required by applicable SEC rules, regulations, or orders, a vote of a majority of the Portfolio's outstanding voting securities.
Reductions and Terminations In the event of the reduction, lapse, or termination of a policy or policies reinsured under this Agreement or any other agreement, the Ceding Company will, in order to maintain its full retention, reduce or terminate reinsurance on that life. If there is a reduction on a policy reinsured under this Agreement, the Ceding Company's Retained Share will be adjusted, if necessary, and Reinsured Net Amount at Risk will be recalculated, using the new Specified Amount. If the reduction is on a policy not reinsured under this Agreement, the reinsurance reduction will apply first to the policy or policies being reduced and then, on a chronological basis, to other reinsured policies on the life, beginning with the oldest policy. As a result of such reductions, to the extent necessary, the Ceding Company will recalculate the full available retention defined in Exhibit A for each policy reinsured under this Agreement and recalculate Ceding Company's Retained Share and Reinsured Net Amount at Risk for the policy. Reductions in reinsurance under this provision shall be proportionate to the Reinsurer's share of the total amount of reinsurance on the policy.
Duration, Termination and Amendments This Agreement shall become effective as of the date first written above and shall continue in effect thereafter for two years. This Agreement shall continue in effect from year to year thereafter for so long as its continuance is specifically approved, at least annually, by: (i) a majority of the Board of Trustees or the vote of the holders of a majority of the Portfolio’s outstanding voting securities; and (ii) the affirmative vote, cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on such continuance, of a majority of those members of the Board of Trustees (“Independent Trustees”) who are not “interested persons” of the Trust or any investment adviser to the Trust. This Agreement may be terminated by the Trust or by Portfolio Manager at any time and without penalty upon sixty days written notice to the other party, which notice may be waived by the party entitled to it. This Agreement may not be amended except by an instrument in writing and signed by the party to be bound thereby provided that if the Investment Company Act requires that such amendment be approved by the vote of the Board, the Independent Trustees and/or the holders of the Trust’s or the Portfolio’s outstanding shareholders, such approval must be obtained before any such amendment may become effective. This Agreement shall terminate upon its assignment. For purposes of this Agreement, the terms “majority of the outstanding voting securities,” “assignment” and “interested person” shall have the meanings set forth in the Investment Company Act.
Termination of Loans In addition to BTC’s authority to terminate a loan of Securities pursuant to the terms of the applicable Securities Lending Agreement as described in Section 2.4 above, BTC shall terminate any Securities loan to a Borrower in accordance with the applicable Securities Lending Agreement promptly:
Duration, Amendment and Termination This Agreement, unless sooner terminated as provided herein, shall remain in effect until two years from date of execution, and thereafter, for periods of one year so long as such continuance thereafter is specifically approved at least annually (a) 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, and (b) by the Trustees of the Trust or by vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of each Portfolio; provided, however, that if the shareholders of any Portfolio fail to approve the Agreement as provided herein, the Adviser may continue to serve hereunder in the manner and to the extent permitted by the 1940 Act and rules and regulations thereunder. The foregoing requirement that continuance of this Agreement be "specifically approved at least annually" shall be construed in a manner consistent with the 1940 Act and the rules and regulations thereunder. This Agreement may be modified by mutual consent subject to the provisions of Section 15 of the 1940 Act, as modified by or interpreted by any applicable order or orders of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") or any rules or regulations adopted by, or interpretative releases of, the Commission. This Agreement may be terminated as to any Portfolio at any time, without the payment of any penalty by vote of a majority of the Board of Trustees of the Trust or by vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of the Portfolio on not less than 30 days nor more than 60 days written notice to the Adviser, or by the Adviser at any time without the payment of any penalty, on 90 days written notice to the Trust. This Agreement will automatically and immediately terminate in the event of its assignment. Any notice under this Agreement shall be given in writing, addressed and delivered, or mailed postpaid, to the other party at any office of such party. As used in this Section 12, the terms "assignment," "interested persons," and a "vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities" shall have the respective meanings set forth in the 1940 Act and the rules and regulations thereunder; subject to such exemptions as may be granted by the Commission under said Act.
