RIGHT TO ENGAGE IN OTHER ACTIVITIES (a) The services provided by the Advisor hereunder are not to be deemed exclusive. SBFM on its own behalf and on behalf of the Partnership acknowledges that, subject to the terms of this Agreement, the Advisor and its officers, directors, employees and shareholder(s), may render advisory, consulting and management services to other clients and accounts. The Advisor and its officers, directors, employees and shareholder(s) shall be free to trade for their own accounts and to advise other investors and manage other commodity accounts during the term of this Agreement and to use the same information, computer programs and trading strategies, programs or formulas which they obtain, produce or utilize in the performance of services to SBFM for the Partnership. However, the Advisor represents, warrants and agrees that it believes the rendering of such consulting, advisory and management services to other accounts and entities will not require any material change in the Advisor's basic trading strategies and will not affect the capacity of the Advisor to continue to render services to SBFM for the Partnership of the quality and nature contemplated by this Agreement.
(b) If, at any time during the term of this Agreement, the Advisor is required to aggregate the Partnership's commodity positions with the positions of any other person for purposes of applying CFTC- or exchange-imposed speculative position limits, the Advisor agrees that it will promptly notify SBFM if the Partnership's positions are included in an aggregate amount which exceeds the applicable speculative position limit. The Advisor agrees that, if its trading recommendations are altered because of the application of any speculative position limits, it will not modify the trading instructions with respect to the Partnership's account in such manner as to affect the Partnership substantially disproportionately as compared with the Advisor's other accounts. The Advisor further represents, warrants and agrees that under no circumstances will it knowingly or deliberately use trading strategies or methods for the Partnership that are inferior to strategies or methods employed for any other client or account and that it will not knowingly or deliberately favor any client or account managed by it over any other client or account in any manner, it being acknowledged, however, that different trading strategies or methods may be utilized for differing sizes of accounts, accounts with different trading policies, accounts experiencing differing inflows or outflows of equity, accounts which commence trading at different times, accounts which have different portfolios or different fiscal years, accounts utilizing different executing brokers and accounts with other differences, and that such differences may cause divergent trading results.
(c) It is acknowledged that the Advisor and/or its officers, employees, directors and shareholder(s) presently act, and it is agreed that they may continue to act, as advisor for other accounts managed by them, and may continue to receive compensation with respect to services for such accounts in amounts which may be more or less than the amounts received from the Partnership.
(d) The Advisor agrees that it shall make such information available to SBFM respecting the performance of the Partnership's account as compared to the performance of other accounts managed by the Advisor or its principals as shall be reasonably requested by SBFM. The Advisor presently believes and represents that existing speculative position limits will not materially adversely affect its ability to manage the Partnership's account given the potential size of the Partnership's account and the Advisor's and its principals' current accounts and all proposed accounts for which they have contracted to act as trading manager.
Preference for domestically manufactured goods The provisions of paragraphs 2.54 and 2.55 of the Guidelines and Appendix 2 thereto shall apply to goods manufactured in the territory of the Borrower.
NO CONTRACTING OUT 12.01 The Nursing Home shall not contract-out any work usually performed by members of the bargaining unit if, as a result of such contracting-out, a lay-off of any employees other than casual part-time employees results from such contracting-out. Contracting-out to an Employer who is organized and who will employ the employees of the bargaining unit who would otherwise be laid-off with similar terms and conditions of employment is not a breach of this Agreement.
Interests in Other Entities The Company does not own or control, directly or indirectly, an interest in any corporation, partnership, limited liability company, joint venture, trust or other entity.

(vi) extension of trade credit in the ordinary course of business; and
(vii) an Investment through the acquisition by the Parent or any of its Subsidiaries of all of the outstanding Capital Stock of another Person solely in exchange for the Capital Stock of the Parent and cash in lieu of fractional shares of such Capital Stock; provided, that either (A)(1) such Person has positive cash flow measured by EBITDA minus Capital Expenditures, in each case for the most recent twelve full months preceding the date of such acquisition, (2) immediately preceding the date of such acquisition, the value of the Current Assets of such Person minus unsecured Debt of such Person to be assumed in such acquisition minus Capitalized Leases of such Person to be assumed in such acquisition is at least $1.00, and (3) if the date of such acquisition shall occur within twelve months after the Merger Closing Date, the Chief Financial Officer of the Borrower shall certify to the Administrative Agent that the Minimum Required Synergies shall be achieved prior to the date of such acquisition; or (B) the Required Lenders consent to such acquisition; provided, that, in any such case, any Person so acquired shall be a Subsidiary Guarantor; provided, further, that the calculations referred to in clauses (A)(1) and (A)(2) above shall be made on a Consolidated basis with respect to all Persons that shall become Subsidiaries of the Parent as a result of any individual Investment to which such calculations shall apply, provided, however, that, if such combination results in the Debt Rating being downgraded by more than one level, then the Applicable Margin shall increase by 0.50% per annum.

Rights in Other Capacities The Collateral Agent, the Custodial Agent and the Securities Intermediary and their affiliates may (without having to account therefor to the Company) accept deposits from, lend money to, make their investments in and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust or other business with the Purchase Contract Agent, any other Person interested herein and any Holder (and any of their respective subsidiaries or affiliates) as if it were not acting as the Collateral Agent, the Custodial Agent or the Securities Intermediary, as the case may be, and the Collateral Agent, the Custodial Agent, the Securities Intermediary and their affiliates may accept fees and other consideration from the Purchase Contract Agent and any Holder without having to account for the same to the Company; provided that each of the Collateral Agent, the Custodial Agent and the Securities Intermediary covenants and agrees with the Company that it shall not accept, receive or permit there to be created in favor of itself and shall take no affirmative action to permit there to be created in favor of any other Person, any security interest, lien or other encumbrance of any kind in or upon the Collateral other than the lien created by the Pledge.
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.
No Control of the Other Party’s Business The Parties acknowledge and agree that the restrictions set forth in this Agreement are not intended to give Parent or Merger Sub, on the one hand, or the Company, on the other hand, directly or indirectly, the right to control or direct the business or operations of the other at any time prior to the Effective Time. Prior to the Effective Time, each of Parent and the Company will exercise, consistent with the terms, conditions and restrictions of this Agreement, complete control and supervision over their own business and operations.
