Form Generally The Securities shall be in substantially the form set forth in this Article, with such appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and other variations as are required or permitted by this Indenture, and may have such letters, numbers or other marks of identification and such legends or endorsements placed thereon as may be required to comply with the rules of any securities exchange, the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and regulations thereunder (the "Code"), or as may, consistent herewith, be determined by the officers executing such Securities, as evidenced by their execution thereof. All Securities shall be in fully registered form. The Trustee's certificates of authentication shall be in substantially the form set forth in Section 2.3. Conversion notices shall be in substantially the form set forth in Section 2.4. Repurchase notices shall be substantially in the form set forth in Section 2.2. The Securities shall be printed, lithographed, typewritten or engraved or produced by any combination of these methods or may be produced in any other manner permitted by the rules of any automated quotation system or securities exchange (including on steel engraved borders if so required by any securities exchange upon which the Securities may be listed) on which the Securities may be quoted or listed, as the case may be, all as determined by the officers executing such Securities, as evidenced by their execution thereof. Upon their original issuance, Securities issued as contemplated by the Purchase Agreement to Qualified Institutional Buyers in reliance on Rule 144A shall be issued in the form of one or more Global Securities in definitive, fully registered form without interest coupons and bearing the Restricted Securities Legend. Such Global Security shall be registered in the name of DTC, as Depositary, or its nominee and deposited with the Trustee, as custodian for DTC, for credit by DTC to the respective accounts of beneficial owners of the Securities represented thereby (or such other accounts as they may direct). Such Global Security, together with its Successor Securities which are Global Securities, are collectively herein called the "Restricted Global Security".
Transfer Generally (a) The term “transfer,” when used in this Agreement with respect to a Partnership Interest, shall be deemed to refer to a transaction (i) by which the General Partner assigns its General Partner Interest to another Person or by which a holder of Incentive Distribution Rights assigns its Incentive Distribution Rights to another Person, and includes a sale, assignment, gift, pledge, encumbrance, hypothecation, mortgage, exchange or any other disposition by law or otherwise or (ii) by which the holder of a Limited Partner Interest (other than an Incentive Distribution Right) assigns such Limited Partner Interest to another Person who is or becomes a Limited Partner, and includes a sale, assignment, gift, exchange or any other disposition by law or otherwise, including any transfer upon foreclosure of any pledge, encumbrance, hypothecation or mortgage.
(b) No Partnership Interest shall be transferred, in whole or in part, except in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in this Article IV. Any transfer or purported transfer of a Partnership Interest not made in accordance with this Article IV shall be null and void.
(c) Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed to prevent a disposition by any stockholder, member, partner or other owner of the General Partner of any or all of the shares of stock, membership interests, partnership interests or other ownership interests in the General Partner.
Termination Generally If the Executive’s employment with the Company is terminated for any reason, the Company shall pay or provide to the Executive (or to his authorized representative or estate) (i) any Base Salary earned through the Date of Termination, unpaid expense reimbursements (subject to, and in accordance with, Section 2(c) of this Agreement) and unused vacation that accrued through the Date of Termination on or before the time required by law but in no event more than 30 days after the Executive’s Date of Termination; and (ii) any vested benefits the Executive may have under any employee benefit plan of the Company through the Date of Termination, which vested benefits shall be paid and/or provided in accordance with the terms of such employee benefit plans (collectively, the “Accrued Benefit”).
Recall Rights Teachers whose contracts have been suspended or non-renewed because of a reduction in force shall be so notified in writing and shall have rights to recall as follows:
1. Recall rights shall be limited to the twenty-four (24) months period commencing on the day following the employee's last day of work.
2. Teachers whose contracts were non-renewed or suspended shall be recalled to a vacancy in the inverse order of non-renewal or suspension as positions become available in their area of certification/licensure at the time of recall; provided however, that certificated tutors whose contracts were non-renewed or suspended shall be recalled only to certificated tutor vacancies, and then in the inverse order of non-renewal of suspension as such positions become available in their area of certification/licensure at the time of recall; and further provided however, seniority shall not be the basis for recalling a teacher, except when making a decision between teachers who have comparable evaluations. Teachers must notify the District of any changes in their area of certification/licensure.
3. A teacher notified of recall to a position may turn down the first offered position, allowing the Superintendent to offer said position to the next person on the recall list who is qualified to fill said position. The person making the turndown would retain his/her position on the recall list. If a teacher refuses recall to another position, said teacher's name shall be removed from the recall list; except no teacher shall be removed from the recall list for refusing a lesser position (time or pay) than the one from which he/she was reduced. Provided however, no teacher whose continuing contract has been suspended shall lose the right of recall and restoration to continuing service status by reason of having declined recall to a position that is less than full-time or, if the teacher was not employed full-time just prior to suspension of the teacher's continuing contract, to a position requiring a lesser percentage of full-time employment than the position the teacher last held while employed in the district.
4. Teachers on recall status shall have the responsibility for keeping the Superintendent informed of their current address, name change, and telephone number. Notification of recall shall be by certified mail at the teacher's last known address. Failure to contact the Superintendent to accept such recall within ten (10) calendar days of the date of such mailing shall remove the teacher from recall status.
5. Teachers, who during recall receive additional training or additional areas of certification/licensure, shall provide documentation of such to the Board, who shall upgrade the teacher’s status on the Recall List. No new employees shall be hired to fill a vacancy until teachers on the Recall List have been asked to fill the vacancy.
Management Generally The management of the Company shall be vested exclusively in the Managing Member. Except as authorized by the Managing Member, or as expressly set forth in this Agreement, the Non-Managing Members shall have no part in the management of the Company, and shall have no authority or right to act on behalf of the Company in connection with any matter. The Managing Member, and any Affiliate of the Managing Member, may engage in any other business venture, whether or not such business is similar to the business of the Company, and neither the Company nor any Non-Managing Member shall have any rights in or to such ventures or the income or profits derived therefrom.
Call Rights (a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 4, the Company shall have the following call rights with respect to the Warrant:
(i) immediately upon receipt of any Exercise Notice from the Holder and prior to any pending Exercise Date (as determined pursuant to Section 2(b)), the Company shall have the right to purchase that portion of the Warrant proposed to be exercised by the Holder pursuant to such Exercise Notice, and if the Company exercises such right, the Holder shall be required to sell such portion of the Warrant to the Company at a purchase price (the "Call Price") determined in accordance with Section 4(b);
(ii) at any time within thirty (30) days following (a) the date of the Company's delivery to the Holder of the appraisal performed by an independent appraiser at the Company's request in connection with the ESOP that sets forth the per share value of the Common Stock as of September 30, 2009 (the "September 2009 Appraisal"), if the ESOP is still in existence on September 30, 2009 and none of clauses (a), (b) and (c) of the definition of "Current Market Price" in Section 3(c)(ii) below are applicable, or (b) the seventh (7th) anniversary of the Effective Date, if the conditions of clause (b) above are not met (in either case, the "First Put/Call Date"), the Company shall have the right to purchase up to fifty percent (50%) of the Warrant from the Holder, and if the Company exercises such right, the Holder shall be required to sell up to fifty percent (50%) of the Warrant to the Company at the Call Price determined in accordance with Section 4(b) below; and
(iii) at any time within thirty (30) days prior to the Expiration Date, the Company shall have the right to purchase up to one hundred percent (100%) of the Warrant from the Holder, and if the Company exercises such right, the Holder shall be required to sell the Warrant or any portion thereof, as the case may be, to the Company at the Call Price determined in accordance with Section 4(b) below.
Vesting Generally LTIP Units may, in the sole discretion of the General Partner, be issued subject to vesting, forfeiture and additional restrictions on Transfer pursuant to the terms of an award, vesting or other similar agreement (a “Vesting Agreement”). The terms of any Vesting Agreement may be modified by the General Partner from time to time in its sole discretion, subject to any restrictions on amendment imposed by the relevant Vesting Agreement or by the Plan, if applicable. LTIP Units that were fully vested when issued or that have vested and are no longer subject to forfeiture under the terms of a Vesting Agreement are referred to as “Vested LTIP Units”; all other LTIP Units shall be treated as “Unvested LTIP Units.”
Limitation on Rights; No Right to Future Grants; Extraordinary Item of Compensation By entering into this Agreement and accepting the Performance Stock Units evidenced hereby, the Participant acknowledges: (i) that the Plan is discretionary in nature and may be suspended or terminated by the Company at any time; (ii) that the Award does not create any contractual or other right to receive future grants of Awards; (iii) that participation in the Plan is voluntary; (iv) that the value of the Performance Stock Units is not part of normal or expected compensation for purposes of calculating any severance, resignation, redundancy, end of service payments, bonuses, long-service awards, pension or retirement benefits or similar payments; and (v) that the future value of the Common Stock is unknown and cannot be predicted with certainty.
Additional Rights Our rights under this clause shall be in addition to, and not in limitation or exclusion of, any other rights which we may have (whether by agreement, operation of law or otherwise).
Notice of Corporate Events If the Company (i) declares a dividend or any other distribution of cash, securities or other property in respect of its Common Stock, including without limitation any granting of rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any capital stock of the Company or any Subsidiary, (ii) authorizes or approves, enters into any agreement contemplating or solicits stockholder approval for any Fundamental Transaction or (iii) authorizes the voluntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the affairs of the Company, then the Company shall deliver to the Holder a notice describing the material terms and conditions of such transaction, at least 20 calendar days prior to the applicable record or effective date on which a Person would need to hold Common Stock in order to participate in or vote with respect to such transaction, and the Company will take all steps reasonably necessary in order to insure that the Holder is given the practical opportunity to exercise this Warrant prior to such time so as to participate in or vote with respect to such transaction; provided, however, that the failure to deliver such notice or any defect therein shall not affect the validity of the corporate action required to be described in such notice.
