Right to Participate The indemnified party agrees to afford the indemnifying party and its counsel the opportunity to be present at, and to participate in, conferences with all persons, including Governmental Authorities, asserting any Indemnity Claim against the indemnified party or conferences with representatives of or counsel for such persons.
ELECTION NOT TO PARTICIPATE If the Employer's Plan is a Standardized Plan, the Plan does not permit an otherwise eligible Employee nor any Participant to elect not to participate in the Plan. If the Employer's Plan is a Nonstandardized Plan, the Employer must specify in its Adoption Agreement whether an Employee eligible to participate, or any present Participant, may elect not to participate in the Plan. For an election to be effective for a particular Plan Year, the Employee or Participant must file the election in writing with the Plan Administrator not later than the time specified in the Employer's Adoption Agreement. The Employer may not make a contribution under the Plan for the Employee or for the Participant for the Plan Year for which the election is effective, nor for any succeeding Plan Year, unless the Employee or Participant re-elects to participate in the Plan. After an Employee's or Participant's election not to participate has been effective for at least the minimum period prescribed by the Employer's Adoption Agreement, the Employee or Participant may re-elect to participate in the Plan for any Plan Year and subsequent Plan Years. An Employee or Participant may re-elect to participate in the Plan by filing his election in writing with the Plan Administrator not later than the time specified in the Employer's Adoption Agreement. An Employee or Participant who re-elects to participate may again elect not to participate only as permitted in the Employer's Adoption Agreement. If an Employee is a Self-Employed Individual, the Employee's election (except as permitted by Treasury regulations without creating a Code Section 401(k) arrangement with respect to that Self-Employed Individual) must be effective no later than the date the Employee first would become a Participant in the Plan and the election is irrevocable. The Plan Administrator must furnish an Employee or a Participant any form required for purposes of an election under this Section 2.06. An election timely filed is effective for the entire Plan Year.
Eligibility to Participate An employee eligible to participate in the State Employee Group Insurance Program, as described in Sections 2A and 2B, may participate in open enrollment. In addition, a person in the following categories may, as allowed in section 5D1 above, make certain changes: (1) a former employee or dependent on continuation coverage, as described in Section 2D, may change plans or add coverage for health and/or dental plans on the same basis as active employees; and (2) an early retiree, prior to becoming eligible for Medicare, may change health and/or dental plans as agreed to for active employees, but may not add dependent coverage.
Election to Participate Participation in the DROP program is irrevocable once an employee begins participation. An employee who wishes to participate in the DROP shall complete and sign such application form or forms as shall be required by the Macomb County Board of Commissioners. Such application shall be reviewed by the Human Resources Department within a reasonable time period and make a determination as to the member’s eligibility for participation in the DROP. On the date upon which the member’s participation in the DROP shall be effective, he/she shall be considered to be a DROP participant and shall cease to be an active member of the Macomb County Employees Retirement System. The amount of credited service, multiplier and final average compensation shall be fixed as of the employee’s DROP date. When an employee’s Final Average Compensation is calculated, any retroactive wages provided shall be counted as if the retroactive wages were paid to the employee when the wages were earned, not when they were received by the employee. Increases or decreases in compensation during DROP participation will not be factored into retirement benefits of active or former DROP participants. DROP participants accrue no service time credit for retirement purposes pursuant to the Macomb County Employees Retirement System. Upon execution of this agreement by the UAW, Xxxxx 000, Xxxx 00 and the County of Macomb, employees who are represented by the UAW, Xxxxx 000, Xxxx 00 and who qualify for DROP participation may file the appropriate application forms with an effective DROP date no sooner than (Expressly contingent upon ratification by the Full Board of Commissioners on December 15, 2005) January 1, 2006.
Right to Participate in Defense Without limiting Section 10.3.2(a), any Indemnified Party shall be entitled to participate in, but not control, the defense of such Third Party Claim and to employ counsel of its choice for such purpose; provided, however, that such employment shall be at the Indemnified Party's own expense unless (i) the employment thereof has been specifically authorized by the indemnifying Party in writing or (ii) the indemnifying Party has failed to assume the defense and employ counsel in accordance with Section 10.3.2(a) (in which case the Indemnified Party shall control the defense).
Right to Monitor and Participate An Indemnitee that does not conduct and control the defense of any Third-Party Claim, or an Indemnifying Party that has failed to elect to defend any Third-Party Claim as contemplated hereby, nevertheless shall have the right to employ separate counsel (including local counsel as necessary) of its own choosing to monitor and participate in (but not control) the defense of any Third-Party Claim for which it is a potential Indemnitee or Indemnifying Party, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnitee or Indemnifying Party, as the case may be, and the provisions of Section 4.5(c) shall not apply to such fees and expenses. Notwithstanding the foregoing, but subject to Sections 6.7 and 6.8, such Party shall cooperate with the Party entitled to conduct and control the defense of such Third-Party Claim in such defense and make available to the controlling Party, at the non-controlling Party’s expense, all witnesses, information and materials in such Party’s possession or under such Party’s control relating thereto as are reasonably required by the controlling Party. In addition to the foregoing, if any Indemnitee shall in good faith determine that such Indemnitee and the Indemnifying Party have actual or potential differing defenses or conflicts of interest between them that make joint representation inappropriate, then the Indemnitee shall have the right to employ separate counsel (including local counsel as necessary) and to participate in (but not control) the defense, compromise, or settlement thereof, and the Indemnifying Party shall bear the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel for all Indemnitees.
Entitlement to Other Benefits Except as expressly provided herein, this Agreement shall not be construed as limiting in any way any rights or benefits the Employee, his spouse, dependents or beneficiaries may have pursuant to any other employee benefits plans or programs.
No Entitlement for Claims or Compensation The following provisions supplement paragraph A “Termination” of Appendix A. By accepting the Special Retention Award, the Participant consents to participation in the Plan and acknowledges that Participant has received a copy of the Plan. The Participant understands and agrees that, as a condition of the grant of the Special Retention Award, if the Participant’s employment terminates, unless otherwise provided in the Award Agreement or by the Company, any unvested Special Retention Awards shall be forfeited without entitlement to the underlying Shares or to any amount as indemnification in the event of a termination, including, but not limited to: resignation, disciplinary dismissal adjudged to be with cause, disciplinary dismissal adjudged or recognized to be without cause, individual or collective layoff on objective grounds, whether adjudged to be with cause or adjudged or recognized to be without cause, material modification of the terms of employment under Article 41 of the Workers’ Statute, relocation under Article 40 of the Workers’ Statute, Article 50 of the Workers’ Statute, unilateral withdrawal by the Employer, and under Article 10.3 of Royal Decree 1382/1985. The Participant understands that the Company has unilaterally, gratuitously and in its sole discretion decided to grant Special Retention Awards under the Plan to individuals who may be Employees of the Company or a Subsidiary. The decision is limited and entered into based upon the express assumption and condition that any Special Retention Awards will not economically or otherwise bind the Company or any Subsidiary, including the Employer, on an ongoing basis, other than as expressly set forth in the Award Agreement. Consequently, the Participant understands that the Special Retention Awards are granted on the assumption and condition that the Special Retention Awards shall not become part of any employment or service agreement (whether with the Company or any Subsidiary, including the Employer) and shall not be considered a mandatory benefit, salary for any purpose (including severance compensation) or any other right whatsoever. Furthermore, the Participant understands and freely accepts that there is no guarantee that any benefit whatsoever shall arise from the grant of Special Retention Awards, which is gratuitous and discretionary, since the future value of the Special Retention Awards and the underlying Shares is unknown and unpredictable. The Participant also understands that the grant of Special Retention Awards would not be made but for the assumptions and conditions set forth hereinabove; thus, the Participant understands, acknowledges and freely accepts that, should any or all of the assumptions be mistaken or any of the conditions not be met for any reason, the Special Retention Award and any right to the underlying Shares shall be null and void.
