Time Off for Union Business
(a) Leave of absence without pay shall be granted upon request for the reasons set out below unless it would unduly interrupt the Employer's operations:
(1) to an elected or appointed representative of the Union to attend conventions of the Union and bodies to which the Union is affiliated, to a maximum of 21 days per occurrence;
(2) for elected or appointed representatives of the Union to attend to union business which requires them to leave their general work area;
(3) for employees who are representatives of the Union on a bargaining committee.
(b) Long-term leave of absence without pay shall be granted to employees designated by the Union to transact union business for specific periods of not less than 21 days unless this would unduly interrupt the operation of the department. Such requests shall be made in writing sufficiently in advance to minimize disruption of the department. Employees granted such leave of absence shall retain all rights and privileges accumulated prior to obtaining such leave. Seniority shall continue to accumulate during such leave and shall apply to such provisions as annual vacations, increments and promotions.
(c) When leave of absence without pay is granted pursuant to Part (a) or (b), the leave shall be given with pay and the Union shall reimburse the Employer for salary and benefit costs, including travel time incurred, within 60 days of receipt of the invoice. It is understood that employees granted leave of absence pursuant to this clause shall receive their current rates of pay while on leave of absence. Leave of absence granted under this clause shall include sufficient travel time. The pay and benefits received by the employee and reimbursed by the Union under this article shall be based on the number of hours to which the Union indicates, in writing, the employee is entitled. This provision does not apply to employees on extended leaves of absence who are employed by the Union on a full-time basis.
(d) Leave of absence with pay and without loss of seniority will be granted to an employee called to appear as a witness before an arbitration board, provided the dispute involved the Employer. On application, the Arbitration Board may determine summarily the amount of time required for the attendance of any witness.
(e) The Union shall provide the Employer with reasonable notice to minimize disruption of the operation and shall make every reasonable effort to give a minimum of 14 days’ notice prior to the commencement of leave under (a) or (b) above. The Employer agrees that any of the above leaves of absence shall not be unreasonably withheld.
BUSINESS OF THE PARTNERSHIP The purpose and nature of the business to be conducted by the Partnership is (i) to conduct any business that may be lawfully conducted by a limited partnership organized pursuant to the Act, provided, however, that such business shall be limited to and conducted in such a manner as to permit the General Partner at all times to qualify as a REIT, unless the General Partner otherwise ceases to qualify as a REIT, and in a manner such that the General Partner will not be subject to any taxes under Section 857 or 4981 of the Code, (ii) to enter into any partnership, joint venture, co-ownership or other similar arrangement to engage in any of the foregoing or the ownership of interests in any entity engaged in any of the foregoing and (iii) to do anything necessary or incidental to the foregoing. In connection with the foregoing, and without limiting the General Partner’s right in its sole and absolute discretion to qualify or cease qualifying as a REIT, the Partners acknowledge that the General Partner intends to qualify as a REIT for federal income tax purposes and upon such qualification the avoidance of income and excise taxes on the General Partner inures to the benefit of all the Partners and not solely to the General Partner. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Limited Partners agree that the General Partner may terminate its status as a REIT under the Code at any time to the full extent permitted under the Charter. The General Partner on behalf of the Partnership shall also be empowered to do any and all acts and things necessary or prudent to ensure that the Partnership will not be classified as a “publicly traded partnership” for purposes of Section 7704 of the Code.
Annual Business Plan (a) On or before November 15th of each year during the term of this Agreement, Manager shall prepare and submit to Owner for Owner's prior approval an annual business and leasing plan in accordance with the requirements of EXHIBIT D hereto (as such EXHIBIT D may be modified by Owner from time to time) (the "ANNUAL BUSINESS PLAN"). The Annual Business Plan shall be a comprehensive plan for the management, operation, leasing, repair, maintenance and promotion of the Property and for the other matters set forth on EXHIBIT D. Manager shall consult the Owner concerning the proposed Annual Business Plan and shall promptly incorporate therein such changes as Owner may direct. The Annual Business Plan, and all budgets contained therein, shall be in a form consistent with the Reporting Package.
(b) Manager shall: (i) perform its duties hereunder in accordance with the Approved Annual Business Plan; and (ii) use all reasonable efforts to ensure that the actual costs of maintaining and operating the Property do not exceed the operating budget (the "OPERATING BUDGET") which is a part of the Approved Annual Business Plan either in total or in any one accounting category. All actual expenses must be charged to the proper account on a basis consistent with the Operating Budget classifications and Reporting Package. Except in case of emergencies which could reasonably pose a threat of injury to persons or property, in which event Manager shall inform Owner of such emergency within two (2) business days, no expense may be reclassified except as needed to correct an inadvertent error. Manager will secure Owner's prior approval for any expenditure that will result in a variance of the greater of $5,000 or 5% of the annual budgeted amount in any one accounting line item of the Operating Budget. In addition, Manager shall obtain Owner's prior approval for any expenditure in excess of $5,000, regardless of whether such expenditure is set forth in the Approved Annual Business Plan.
(c) Owner shall have the right to require changes in the Approved Annual Business Plan from time to time; provided, however, that Owner shall provide Manager with at least fifteen (15) days' notice of such changes.
