Right to Convene Meetings The Warrant Agent may at any time and from time to time, and shall on receipt of a written request of the Corporation or of a Warrantholders’ Request and upon being indemnified and funded to its reasonable satisfaction by the Corporation or by the Warrantholders signing such Warrantholders’ Request against the costs which may be incurred in connection with the calling and holding of such meeting, convene a meeting of the Warrantholders. If the Warrant Agent fails to so call a meeting within seven days after receipt of such written request of the Corporation or such Warrantholders’ Request and the indemnity and funding given as aforesaid, the Corporation or such Warrantholders, as the case may be, may convene such meeting.

REDUCTION IN PERSONNEL A. The term "seniority" as hereinafter used shall be length of continuous service with the bargaining unit since the last date of hire. Leave of absence granted pursuant to the contract shall not constitute an interruption in continuous service. Credit given for outside teaching experience in school districts shall not be considered for the purpose of accumulating seniority. Administrative and supervisory service shall not be considered for the purpose of accumulating seniority. However, any administrator or supervisor who is returned to the classroom shall be credited with any prior accumulated seniority. B. Each year the Board shall prepare a seniority list by certification and classification, NCLB HQT status for assignment and transmit a copy of the same to the Association on or before the 1st day of November. The list shall be updated annually by May 1. In the event more than one individual has the same date of hire, all individuals so affected will participate in a drawing for each date of hire, to determine placement on the seniority list. Such drawing shall occur only once. The Association and bargaining unit members so affected will be notified in writing of the date, place, and time of the drawing, and given the opportunity to be present. The first name drawn shall be the first name on the seniority list (for that date), and proceed in that order. The Board shall draw the first name and the Association shall draw the second and proceed alternately until all names are drawn. If the Association is in disagreement on one or all parts of the seniority list and if mutual agreement between the parties cannot be reached on the disagreements, the Association may use the grievance procedure. C. Necessary reduction of personnel. The parties hereto, realizing that education, curriculum, and staff to a large degree depend upon the economic facilities available to the Board as provided by the public and the State of Michigan, and in accordance with that realization understand that in some instances it may be economically necessary to reduce the educational program, curriculum, and staff when funds are not available, hereby agree as follows: 1. It is hereby specifically recognized that it is within the sole discretion of the Board to reduce the educational program and curriculum (including any programs which may be guaranteed in Article III). 2. In order to promote an orderly reduction in personnel when the educational program and curriculum is curtailed, the following procedure will be used: a. Layoff will be on the basis of seniority, provided that the more senior teacher is certified and qualified for the available position. In the event the position held by a teacher is eliminated, the teacher shall be entitled to bump a less senior teacher if he/she is certified and qualified (including the ability to meet all NCLB HQT requirements starting in 2006-2007) for the position or a position which can be created by changing the assignments of less senior teachers. More senior teachers not being laid off shall upon request be voluntarily transferred in order to enable the Board to retain more senior teachers. This procedure is subject to the Michigan Teachers' Tenure Act. b. It is expressly understood that the Association shall have the right to review the reduction list prior to notification of the individuals involved. After the reduction list has been prepared by the Board, the Association and Board shall review said list and attempt to resolve any and all conflicts. In the event there is a dispute concerning the reduction list, the Association shall have the right to file a written grievance thereon within seventy-two (72) hours after the termination of the meeting during which such review took place. c. The Board may lay off staff at the commencement of the school year provided written notice of layoff is sent to the Association and to the teacher at least twenty-five (25) days in advance of the first scheduled work day for teachers, and at the commencement of the second semester provided written notice is sent sixty (60) days in advance.

In the event of the Trustee failing, within 30 days after receipt of any such request and such funding and indemnity, to give notice convening a meeting, the Company or such Debentureholders, as the case may be, may convene such meeting.
