Advancement of New Zealand’s strategic interests Sample Clauses

Advancement of New Zealand’s strategic interests. ‌ While liberalisation of trade through the WTO still remains New Zealand’s over-riding international trade policy priority, the promotion of increased trade liberalisation through the CPTPP supports continued ambition in the WTO agenda. Realisation of the Agreement would establish a platform of high quality rules and standards to encourage trade and investment in the Asia-Pacific at a time when the global trading system is under pressure. In this regard, New Zealand views CPTPP as a ‘building block’ to support multilateralism, rather than a ‘stumbling block.’ The facilitative trade and investment framework created by the CPTPP is likely to have a significant influence on the form and function of value chains across the Asia Pacific region in the coming years. To a significant extent, these frameworks reflect New Zealand’s existing policy and practice. New Zealand firms would therefore be well placed to take advantage of these frameworks, and to extract more value from regional production processes through the CPTPP. The CPTPP would serve as a platform to support the integration of New Zealand business into regional supply chains and would provide greater consistency and certainty to traders and investors in CPTPP markets. The CPTPP also advances New Zealand’s strategic goals in other meaningful ways. The Agreement’s labour and environment outcomes are the most comprehensive New Zealand has achieved in a free trade agreement. Both of these are legally enforceable, for the first time. This will help raise labour and environment standards in the region and reduce the impact of unfair practices. The Agreement is also a world first in including a prohibition on granting or maintaining subsidies that contribute to illegal, unreported or unregulated (IUU) fishing or that negatively affect stocks that are in an overfished condition as part of a number of other obligations to help deter IUU fishing. In this way, CPTPP provides a foundation for the further evolution of trade rules and disciplines, and the contribution they can make to sustainable development.

  • Title, Management and Disposition of REO Property In the event that title to any Mortgaged Property is acquired in foreclosure or by deed in lieu of foreclosure, the deed or certificate of sale shall be taken, pursuant to a limited power of attorney in the form attached hereto as Exhibit H, in the name of the Trustee or its nominee (which in no event shall be the Special Servicer) in trust for the benefit of the Certificateholders, or in the event the Trustee is not authorized or permitted to hold title to real property in the state where the REO Property is located, or would be adversely affected under the “doing business” or tax laws of such state by so holding title, the deed or certificate of sale shall be taken in the name of such Person or Persons as shall be consistent with an Opinion of Counsel obtained by the Special Servicer (with a copy delivered to the Trustee) from any attorney duly licensed to practice law in the state where the REO Property is located. Any such Opinion of Counsel will be deemed a Servicing Advance, reimbursable to the Special Servicer in accordance with Section 3.04. The Person or Persons holding such title other than the Trustee shall acknowledge in writing that such title is being held as nominee for the Trustee. The Special Servicer shall manage, conserve, protect and operate each REO Property for the Trustee solely for the purpose of its prompt disposition and sale. The Special Servicer, either itself or through an agent selected by the Special Servicer, shall manage, conserve, protect and operate the REO Property in the same manner that it manages, conserves, protects and operates other foreclosed property for its own account, and in the same manner that similar property in the same locality as the REO Property is managed. The Special Servicer shall attempt to sell the same (and may temporarily rent the same for a period not greater than one year, except as otherwise provided below) on such terms and conditions as the Special Servicer deems to be in the best interest of the Trustee and the Certificateholders. In the event that the Trust Fund acquires any REO Property in connection with a default or imminent default on a Transferred Mortgage Loan, the Special Servicer shall dispose of such REO Property not later than the end of the third taxable year after the year of its acquisition by the Trust Fund unless the Special Servicer has applied for and received a grant of extension from the Internal Revenue Service (and provide a copy of the same to the Master Servicer and the Trustee) to the effect that, under the REMIC Provisions and any relevant proposed legislation and under applicable state law, the applicable Trust REMIC may hold REO Property for a longer period without adversely affecting the REMIC status of such REMIC or causing the imposition of a federal or state tax upon such REMIC and has notified the Master Servicer and the Trustee of such extension by providing a copy of the application and the grant of such extension to the Trustee and the Master Servicer. If the Special Servicer has received such an extension (and provided a copy of the same to the Master Servicer and the Trustee), then the Special Servicer shall continue to attempt to sell the REO Property for its fair market value for such period longer than three years as such extension permits (the “Extended Period”). If the Special Servicer has not received such an extension and the Special Servicer is unable to sell the REO Property within the period ending three months before the end of such third taxable year after its acquisition by the Trust Fund or if the Special Servicer has received such an extension, and the Special Servicer is unable to sell the REO Property within the period ending three months before the close of the Extended Period, the Special Servicer shall, before the end of the three-year period or the Extended Period, as applicable, (i) purchase such REO Property at a price equal to the REO Property’s fair market value or (ii) auction the REO Property to the highest bidder (which may be the Special Servicer) in an auction reasonably designed to produce a fair price prior to the expiration of the three-year period or the Extended Period, as the case may be. The Trustee shall sign any document reasonably requested by, and at the expense of, the Special Servicer, or take any other action reasonably requested by the Special Servicer which would enable the Special Servicer, on behalf of the Trust Fund, to request such grant of extension. In all cases, the disposition of REO Property shall be carried out by the Special Servicer at such price, and upon such terms and conditions, as the Servicer deems to be in the best interests of the Trust Fund. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, no REO Property acquired by the Trust Fund shall be rented (or allowed to continue to be rented) or otherwise used by or on behalf of the Trust Fund in such a manner or pursuant to any terms that would: (i) cause such REO Property to fail to qualify as “foreclosure property” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code; or (ii) subject any Trust REMIC to the imposition of any federal income taxes on the income earned from such REO Property, including any taxes imposed by reason of Sections 860F or 860G(c) of the Code, unless the Special Servicer has agreed to indemnify and hold harmless the Trust Fund with respect to the imposition of any such taxes. The Special Servicer shall also maintain on each REO Property fire and hazard insurance with extended coverage in amount which is at least equal to the maximum insurable value of the improvements which are a part of such property, liability insurance and, to the extent required and available under the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, as amended, flood insurance in the amount required above. The proceeds of sale of the REO Property shall be promptly deposited in the Custodial Account. As soon as practical thereafter the expenses of such sale shall be paid and the Special Servicer shall reimburse itself for any related unreimbursed Servicing Advances, unpaid Servicing Fees, unreimbursed Monthly Advances made pursuant to this Section or Section 4.03 or the REO Disposition Fee. The Special Servicer shall make advances of all funds necessary for the proper operation, management and maintenance of the REO Property, including the cost of maintaining any hazard insurance pursuant to Section 3.10, such advances to be reimbursed from the disposition or liquidation proceeds of the REO Property. The Special Servicer shall make monthly distributions on each Remittance Date to the Master Servicer of the net cash flow from the REO Property (which shall equal the revenues from such REO Property net of the expenses described in this Section 3.17 and of any reserves reasonably required from time to time to be maintained to satisfy anticipated liabilities for such expenses).
