Course Reimbursement 1. Teachers will be eligible for reimbursement for courses that will enhance the Teacher’s ability to improve student academic performance.
2. To be eligible for reimbursement, courses must be approved by the Professional Growth Committee (employing the program of staff development mandated by the state as an integral part of the Teacher’s recertification process) prior to taking the course; advance approval from the Superintendent of Schools is required.
3. Upon successful completion of the course with a grade of “B” or better, and submission of a transcript or signed official grade report and verification of tuition payment to the Superintendent, the Teacher will be reimbursed for the cost of tuition and registration fees.
4. Payment of course reimbursement is for tuition and related fees only. An individual is entitled to receive 2/3 reimbursement cost for 6 graduate level credits during each year of this contract not to exceed the New Hampshire resident UNH graduate level dollar amount plus any related fees. However, in no event shall the District expend more than $20,000 per contract year for course reimbursement. In the event that requests for course reimbursement exceed $20,000 in a contract year, the following lottery system will apply: Reimbursement will be available in two (2) reimbursement periods. Employees may apply for up to six (6) credits during period 1 after June 30th and prior to October 1st. Employees may apply for up to six (6) during period 2 starting December 1st. The disbursement of funds in period 1 shall not exceed half of the yearly agreed upon amount. Any sums not used during period 1 shall be rolled into period 2. Anyone applying during period 1 who has met the period 1 deadline will have their application considered. If the total of the requests is more than the designated monetary amount, then a lottery system will ensue to determine which applications receive the money. Those whose applications were not selected in period 1 will be eligible to submit again during period 2. If the total of the requests for period 2 is more than the designated monetary amount, then a lottery system will ensue to determine which applications receive the money. The disbursement in period 2 shall not exceed the total agreed upon amount. Applications for reimbursement in period 2 may not have received any previous reimbursement during period 1 unless there are unexpended funds in period 2. Also, if an applicant received funds in period 1, that application may not cause a lottery to occur in period 2.
5. Advance Payment Plan - The District will prepay for any course that has been approved by the Professional Growth Committee (employing the program of staff development mandated by the state as an integral part of the Teacher's recertification process). Each participating Teacher will enter into an Agreement with the District to submit receipts, grades, and other paperwork for the course that was prepaid. The Teacher will agree in writing to keep his/her advanced payment account records up- to-date. If the Teacher fails to fulfill the requirements of the advanced payment plan, the Teacher agrees that the District will withhold any balance due the District from the last paycheck under the Teacher's contract.

Base Fee The Company shall pay to the Advisor a quarterly base fee (the “Base Fee”) payable in arrears in cash, for services provided by the Advisor in the preceding quarter. For purposes of this Agreement, the “Base Fee” will be equal to 0.70% per annum of the Total Market Capitalization of the Company, subject to the payment of a minimum quarterly base fee (“Minimum Base Fee”), if applicable. For purposes of this Agreement, “Total Market Capitalization” shall be calculated on a quarterly basis as (i) the average of the volume-weighted average price per share of Ashford Prime’s common stock for each trading day of the preceding quarter multiplied by the average number of shares of Ashford Prime’s common stock outstanding during such quarter, on a fully-diluted basis (assuming all common units and long term incentive partnership units in the Operating Partnership which have achieved economic parity with common units in the Operating Partnership have been converted to common stock in the Company), plus (ii) the quarterly average of the aggregate principal amount of the Company’s consolidated indebtedness (including the Company’s proportionate share of debt of any entity that is not consolidated but excluding the Company’s joint venture partners’ proportionate share of consolidated debt), plus (iii) the quarterly average of the liquidation value of the Company’s outstanding preferred equity. The Minimum Base Fee for each quarter will be equal to the greater of (i) 90% of the Base Fee paid for the same quarter in the prior year and (ii) the G&A Ratio multiplied by the Company’s Total Market Capitalization. For purposes of this Agreement, the “G&A Ratio” will be calculated as the simple average of the ratios of total general and administrative expenses, less any non-cash expenses but including any dead deal costs, paid in the applicable quarter by each member of a select peer group set forth in Exhibit A (each, a “Peer Group Member” and collectively, the “Peer Group”), divided by the total enterprise value of such Peer Group Member (calculated in the same manner as the Company’s Total Market Capitalization). The G&A Ratio for each Peer Group Member will be calculated based on the financial information presented in such Peer Group Member’s Form 10-Q or 10-K periodic filings with the SEC following the end of each quarter. The Peer Group may be modified from time to time by mutual written agreement of the Advisor and a majority of the Independent Directors, negotiating in good faith. The Base Fee, as calculated above, shall be payable in arrears no later than the 15th day following the end of each quarter (i.e., one-fourth of 0.70% of the Total Market Capitalization of the Company). The Minimum Base Fee shall be calculated as soon as practicable following the end of the quarter, and to the extent the Minimum Base Fee exceeds the Base Fee paid to the Advisor with respect to any quarter, the Company will pay the Advisor the difference between Minimum Base Fee and the Base Fee within 5 business days of final calculation of the Minimum Base Fee. For purposes of payment of the Base Fee for a partial quarter relating to the first quarter in which this Agreement is effective or for the last quarter in which this Agreement is terminated, the Base Fee shall be calculated as 0.70% of the Total Market Capitalization of the Company, calculated using each trading day of such partial quarter prior to termination, multiplied by the number of days in the applicable quarter in which this Agreement is in effect divided by 365 or 366 days, as applicable. The Minimum Base Fee shall be similarly reduced proportionately based on the number of days in the applicable quarter in which this Agreement is in effect divided by 365 or 366 days, as applicable.
