Election and Term of Office The officers of the Company shall be elected from time to time by the Board. Each officer shall hold office until such person’s successor shall have been duly elected and qualified or until such person’s death or until he or she shall resign or be removed pursuant to Section 6.8.
Designation of Directors (a) Following the automatic conversion of all Class B Common Stock into Class A Common Stock pursuant to subsection (c)(iii)(B) of Article FOURTH of the Certificate of Incorporation: (i) the Board shall adopt an amendment to the Bylaws of the Company establishing nine as the number of directors which shall constitute the whole Board and (ii) the Class B Directors serving on the Board immediately preceding such conversion shall continue to serve on the Board as Class A Directors until their successors are duly elected and qualified or until their earlier death, resignation or removal. (b) From and after the automatic conversion of all Class B Stock into Class A Stock pursuant to subsection (c)(iii)(B) of Article FOURTH of the Certificate of Incorporation, at any time that Xxxxx Xxxxxxx or a Member Beneficially Owns one-ninth (1/9) or more of the total number of the then issued and outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock, such party shall have the option, in its sole discretion, to notify the Company of such party's designee or designees to be included in the slate of nominees to be recommended by the Board to the stockholders for election as a director or directors at the next meeting of stockholders of the Company held to elect directors. The Board or its nominating committee shall include such designee or designees in the slate of nominees to be recommended by the Board to the stockholders for election as a director or directors at the next meeting of the stockholders of the Company held to elect directors; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the maximum number of persons so designated by such party shall be equal to the result (rounded to the nearest whole number) of applying the following formula: (c) At any time a Person who has been designated by Apollo and is not otherwise a Person whose primary business is the design, construction, marketing and/or selling of single-family homes, townhomes and/or condominiums (an "ELIGIBLE HOLDER") Beneficially Owns, as the result of a transfer of Class A Common Stock or Class B Common Stock by Apollo to such Eligible Holder, one-ninth (1/9) or more of the total number of the then issued and outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock, taken in the aggregate, such Eligible Holder shall have the option, in its sole discretion, to notify the Company of such Eligible Holder's designee to be included in the slate of nominees to be recommended by the Board to the stockholders for election as a director at the next meeting of stockholders of the Company held to elect directors, provided that such Eligible Holder continues to hold such number of shares through the date of such meeting. The Board or its nominating committee shall include such designee in the slate of nominees to be recommended by the Board to the stockholders for election as a director at the next meeting of the stockholders of the Company held to elect directors. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, an Eligible Holder shall not be entitled to designate more than one such designee. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Apollo may designate only one Person as an Eligible Holder during the term of this Agreement; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that nothing in this subsection 5(c) shall limit Apollo's other rights to designate directors in accordance with subsection 5(b). (d) In the event that a person nominated and elected to the Board pursuant to subsection 5(b) or 5(c) shall cease to serve as a director for any reason, a successor shall be designated and nominated in the same manner and procedure as such former director was designated and nominated pursuant to subsection 5(b) or 5(c). (e) With respect to any Class A Director seat on the Board which is not to be filled pursuant to subsections 5(b), 5(c) or 5(d), the Board shall recommend to the stockholders of the Company for election as a director any person designated by a majority of the Board to fill such seat. (f) Each party hereto shall take such action as may be required so that all Class A Common Stock Beneficially Owned by it and all its Affiliates are voted, at any meeting of the stockholders of the Company held to elect directors, for the persons nominated to the Board pursuant to subsection 5(b), 5(c), 5(d) or 5(e). Each party and all its Affiliates, as Class A Stockholders, shall be present, in person or by proxy, at all meetings of stockholders of the Company so that all Class A Common Stock Beneficially Owned by such party and its Affiliates may be counted for the purpose of determining the presence of a quorum at such meetings. (g) Upon request by Apollo, one of the directors designated by Apollo in accordance with subsection 5(b) shall (i) serve on the Compensation Committee of the Board so long as such director is an independent director under Delaware law (it being agreed that being an employee or otherwise a representative of Apollo shall not by itself disqualify any such director from being independent) and (ii) serve on the Executive Committee, if any, of the Board (it being agreed that the Company shall be under no obligation to establish an Executive Committee).
Remuneration of Directors The directors are entitled to the remuneration for acting as directors, if any, as the directors may from time to time determine. If the directors so decide, the remuneration of the directors, if any, will be determined by the shareholders. That remuneration may be in addition to any salary or other remuneration paid to any officer or employee of the Company as such, who is also a director.
Compensation of Directors Directors on the Board shall not be entitled to receive a fee for the director’s services as a director on the Board.
Number and Term of Office The authorized number of directors of the corporation shall be fixed in accordance with the Certificate of Incorporation. Directors need not be stockholders unless so required by the Certificate of Incorporation. If for any cause, the directors shall not have been elected at an annual meeting, they may be elected as soon thereafter as convenient at a special meeting of the stockholders called for that purpose in the manner provided in these Bylaws.
Election of Directors The holders of record of the shares of Preferred Stock, exclusively and as a separate class, shall be entitled to elect three (3) directors of the Corporation; provided, however, that, at any time there are any shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock issued and outstanding, in lieu of the holders of record of the shares of Preferred Stock, the holders of record of shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock shall be entitled to elect three (3) directors of the Corporation (the “Preferred Directors”); provided, further, that for administrative convenience, the initial Preferred Directors may also be appointed by the Board of Directors in connection with the approval of the initial issuance of Preferred Stock without a separate action by the holders of Preferred Stock. Any director elected as provided in the preceding sentences may be removed without cause by, and only by, the affirmative vote of the holders of the shares of the class or series of stock entitled to elect such director or directors, given either at a special meeting of such stockholders duly called for that purpose or pursuant to a written consent of stockholders. If the holders of shares of any class or series of stock fail to elect a sufficient number of directors to fill all directorships for which they are entitled to elect directors, voting exclusively and as a separate class, pursuant to the first sentence of this Subsection 4.2, then any directorship not so filled shall remain vacant until such time as the holders of such series or class of stock elect a person to fill such directorship by vote or written consent in lieu of a meeting; and no such directorship may be filled by stockholders of the Corporation other than by the stockholders of the Corporation that are entitled to elect a person to fill such directorship, voting exclusively and as a separate class. The holders of record of the shares of Common Stock and of any other class or series of voting stock (including the Preferred Stock), exclusively and voting together as a single class, on an as converted basis, shall be entitled to elect the balance of the total number of directors of the Corporation by vote of a majority of such shares. At any meeting held for the purpose of electing a director, the presence in person or by proxy of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of the class or series entitled to elect such director shall constitute a quorum for the purpose of electing such director. Except as otherwise provided in this Subsection 4.2, a vacancy in any directorship filled by the holders of any class or series shall be filled only by vote or written consent in lieu of a meeting of the holders of such class or series or by any remaining director or directors elected by the holders of such class or series pursuant to this Subsection 4.2.
Appointment and Term of Office The Officers shall be appointed by the Board at such time and for such terms as the Board shall determine. Any Officer may be removed, with or without cause, only by the Board. Vacancies in any office may be filled only by the Board.
RESERVATION OF NAME The Investment Adviser shall at all times have all rights in and to the Portfolio’s name and all investment models used by or on behalf of the Portfolio. The Investment Adviser may use the Portfolio’s name or any portion thereof in connection with any other mutual fund or business activity without the consent of any shareholder and the Fund shall execute and deliver any and all documents required to indicate the consent of the Fund to such use. The Fund hereby agrees that in the event that neither the Investment Adviser nor any of its affiliates acts as investment adviser to the Portfolio, the name of the Portfolio will be changed to one that does not suggest an affiliation with the Investment Adviser.
TRANSFERS AND VACANCIES 8.3.1 School Directors will, through the Superintendent’s Designee, announce and post all intra-school vacancies when they occur or become known. Teachers within that school will have five (5) school days from the date of posting in which to apply for the vacancy. If this vacancy is not filled by an intra-school teacher, then the vacancy will be posted as stated in Section 8.3.3. 8.3.2 Teachers returning from leave may apply for any school vacancies posted for the school to which they were assigned when their leave commenced. 8.3.3 All school vacancies shall be posted on the District’s website for at least five (5) days as these vacancies occur. Teachers will be given the opportunity to apply for these vacancies or openings as they are posted. Applications will be submitted to the Superintendent’s Designee. 8.3.4 Teachers returning from any leave of absence will be notified all available vacancies for the next school year and may apply for these vacancies as they are posted. To ensure positions, these teachers may also be assigned to positions by the Superintendent’s Designee. 8.3.5 Notification of vacancies occurring after the regular school year will be posted on the District website as well as e-mailed to all district staff via the district e-mail system. During the ten calendar days prior to the first teacher workday, the five (5) day posting may be waived. Administrators will make every effort to contact teachers who have previously expressed an interest through a Request of Transfer submitted to the Superintendent’s Designee by March 15 (8.2.1.1). 8.3.6 All qualified in-district applicants for teacher vacancies shall be interviewed by the appropriate administrator and school hiring team when possible. Each interviewed applicant shall be notified in writing of the disposition of his/her application. 8.3.7 The Association and Board of Education agree that collaboration in the teacher hiring process is desirable and that every opportunity should be given to district teachers to provide their input on hiring teams. We collectively understand that circumstances may lead to the need for hiring decisions to be made by administration without consultation. We understand this should not be a consistent occurrence and all efforts will be made to follow the above philosophy. Finally, we agree that the Superintendent will make final hiring recommendations to the Board of Education.
