CONSERVATION STRATEGY AND COMMITMENTS Clause Samples

CONSERVATION STRATEGY AND COMMITMENTS. The strategy for organizing a cooperative, range-wide approach to gopher tortoise management and conservation is focused on establishing a baseline of conservation commitments that all Parties agree to, and then collectively accounting for specific agency conservation actions across the region. It also establishes a starting-point for private landowner involvement in gopher tortoise conservation and management activities. Key components of this strategy are based on the premise that this Agreement, in the near term, is focused on reducing the deteriorating status of the species by improving, organizing, and implementing specific management actions, and in the long term, will facilitate the development of a network of managed gopher tortoise populations across its range. The commitment and actions outlined in this Section focus on conservation, improvement, and ongoing management of gopher tortoise habitat. The landscape and local level conservation actions are designed to be adaptable and implementable by all Parties in a collaborative environment, and the agency-specific actions describe the specific actions that each Party will conduct to effectively manage the species and reduce habitat and population loss. The results of these actions will be observed through monitoring the response of tortoise populations. Information obtained from surveys and monitoring will increase the understanding of the gopher tortoise and its management needs. This knowledge will be applied using the concepts of Adaptive Management that periodically assess and modify conservation actions.

CONSERVATION STRATEGY AND COMMITMENTS. ‌ The strategy for organizing a cooperative, range-wide approach to Pinaleño land snail management and conservation in Arizona is focused on establishing a baseline of conservation commitments to which all CA Parties agree, and then collectively accounting for specific agency conservation actions across the state. It also establishes an effective conservation framework for non-federal landowner involvement to be integrated into land snail conservation and management activities. Key components of this strategy are based on the premise that this CA, in the near term, is focused on reducing any deteriorating status of the species by improving, organizing, and implementing specific conservation actions across its range; and in the long term, facilitating the development of a network of affected landowners/managers that can positively influence land snail habitat and population management across the species’ range in the Pinaleño Mountains. The commitment and actions outlined in this section focus on conservation, improvement, and ongoing management of land snail status and habitat. The landscape and local level conservation actions are designed to be adaptable and effectively implemented by all Parties within a comprehensive and collaborative conservation framework. The agency-specific actions describe the specific conservation measures that each Party will deploy to effectively manage the species, including efforts for reducing species threats as well as habitat and population loss (refer to Appendix A). The results of these actions will be evaluated through ongoing monitoring of land snail populations and habitat conditions. Information obtained from surveys and monitoring will increase the understanding of land snail population trends and management needs. This knowledge will be applied using the concepts of Adaptive Management (see section 10) that the PLSWG will annually assess and use to appropriately modify conservation actions.

If, for any reason, such Cash Collateral is not provided or the reallocation does not occur, the Revolving Credit Lenders under the maturing tranche shall continue to be responsible for their participating interests in the Letters of Credit.

  • Benefit of Agreement Assignments Participations (a) This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the respective successors and assigns of the parties hereto; provided, however, that (i) no Credit Party may assign or transfer any of its rights, obligations or interest hereunder or under any other Credit Document without the prior written consent of the Lenders, (ii) although any Lender may grant participations in its rights hereunder, such Lender shall remain a “Lender” for all purposes hereunder (and may not transfer or assign all or any portion of its Commitments hereunder except as provided in Section 11.04(b)) and no participant shall constitute a “Lender” hereunder and (iii) no Lender shall transfer or grant any participation under which the participant shall have rights to approve any amendment to or waiver of this Agreement or any other Credit Document except to the extent such amendment or waiver would (x) extend the final scheduled maturity of any Loan or Note in which such participant is participating, or reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of interest or Commitment Commission thereon (except (I) in connection with a waiver of applicability of any post-default increase in interest rates and (II) that any amendment or modification to the financial definitions in this Agreement shall not constitute a reduction in the rate of interest for purposes of this clause (x)) or reduce the principal amount thereof, or increase the amount of the participant’s participation over the amount thereof then in effect (it being understood that a waiver of any Default or Event of Default or of a mandatory reduction in the Total Commitments shall not constitute a change in the terms of such participation, and that an increase in any Commitment or Loan shall be permitted without the consent of any participant if the participant’s participation is not increased as a result thereof), (y) consent to the assignment or transfer by the Borrower of any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement or (z) release all or substantially all of the Collateral under all of the Security Documents (except as expressly provided in the Credit Documents) securing the Loans hereunder in which such participant is participating. In the case of any such participation, the participant shall not have any rights under this Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents (the participant’s rights against such Lender in respect of such participation to be those set forth in the agreement executed by such Lender in favor of the participant relating thereto) and all amounts payable by the Borrower hereunder shall be determined as if such Lender had not sold such participation. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each participant’s interest in the Loan or other obligations under the Note (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any participant or any information relating to a participant’s interest in any commitments, loans or its other obligations under any Note) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register. (b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Lender (or any Lender together with one or more other Lenders) may:
