Effect of Recapitalizations, Reclassifications and Changes of the Common Stock (a) In the case of:
(i) any recapitalization, reclassification or change of the Common Stock (other than changes resulting from a subdivision or combination),
(ii) any consolidation, merger, combination or similar transaction involving the Company,
(iii) any sale, lease or other transfer to a third party of the consolidated assets of the Company and the Company’s Subsidiaries substantially as an entirety or
(iv) any statutory share exchange, in each case, as a result of which the Common Stock would be converted into, or exchanged for, stock, other securities, other property or assets (including cash or any combination thereof) (any such event, a “Share Exchange Event”), then, at and after the effective time of such Share Exchange Event, the right to convert each $1,000 principal amount of Notes shall be changed into a right to convert such principal amount of Notes into the kind and amount of shares of stock, other securities or other property or assets (including cash or any combination thereof) that a holder of a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Conversion Rate immediately prior to such Share Exchange Event would have owned or been entitled to receive (the “Reference Property,” with each “unit of Reference Property” meaning the kind and amount of Reference Property that a holder of one share of Common Stock is entitled to receive) upon such Share Exchange Event and, prior to or at the effective time of such Share Exchange Event, the Company or the successor or purchasing Person, as the case may be, shall execute with the Trustee a supplemental indenture permitted under Section 10.01(g) providing for such change in the right to convert each $1,000 principal amount of Notes; provided, however, that at and after the effective time of the Share Exchange Event (A) the Company shall continue to have the right to determine the form of consideration to be paid or delivered, as the case may be, upon conversion of Notes in accordance with Section 14.02 and (B) (I) any amount payable in cash upon conversion of the Notes in accordance with Section 14.02 shall continue to be payable in cash, (II) any shares of Common Stock that the Company would have been required to deliver upon conversion of the Notes in accordance with Section 14.02 shall instead be deliverable in the amount and type of Reference Property that a holder of that number of shares of Common Stock would have been entitled to receive in such Share Exchange Event and (III) the Daily VWAP shall be calculated based on the value of a unit of Reference Property. If the Share Exchange Event causes the Common Stock to be converted into, or exchanged for, the right to receive more than a single type of consideration (determined based in part upon any form of stockholder election), then (i) the Reference Property into which the Notes will be convertible shall be deemed to be the weighted average of the types and amounts of consideration actually received by the holders of Common Stock, and (ii) the unit of Reference Property for purposes of the immediately preceding paragraph shall refer to the consideration referred to in clause (i) attributable to one share of Common Stock. If the holders of the Common Stock receive only cash in such Share Exchange Event, then for all conversions for which the relevant Conversion Date occurs after the effective date of such Share Exchange Event (A) the consideration due upon conversion of each $1,000 principal amount of Notes shall be solely cash in an amount equal to the Conversion Rate in effect on the Conversion Date (as may be increased by any Additional Shares pursuant to Section 14.03), multiplied by the price paid per share of Common Stock in such Share Exchange Event and (B) the Company shall satisfy the Conversion Obligation by paying cash to converting Holders on the second Business Day immediately following the relevant Conversion Date. The Company shall notify in writing Holders, the Trustee and the Conversion Agent (if other than the Trustee) of such weighted average as soon as practicable after such determination is made. Such supplemental indenture described in the second immediately preceding paragraph shall provide for anti-dilution and other adjustments that shall be as nearly equivalent as is possible to the adjustments provided for in this Article 14. If, in the case of any Share Exchange Event, the Reference Property includes shares of stock, securities or other property or assets (including cash or any combination thereof) of a Person other than the successor or purchasing corporation, as the case may be, in such Share Exchange Event, then such supplemental indenture shall also be executed by such other Person and shall contain such additional provisions to protect the interests of the Holders of the Notes as the Board of Directors shall reasonably consider necessary by reason of the foregoing, including the provisions providing for the purchase rights set forth in Article 15.
(b) When the Company executes a supplemental indenture pursuant to subsection (a) of this Section 14.07, the Company shall promptly file with the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate briefly stating the reasons therefor, the kind or amount of cash, securities or property or asset that will comprise a unit of Reference Property after any such Share Exchange Event, any adjustment to be made with respect thereto and that all conditions precedent have been complied with, and shall promptly deliver notice thereof to all Holders. The Company shall cause notice of the execution of such supplemental indenture to be delivered to each Holder within 20 days after execution thereof. Failure to deliver such notice shall not affect the legality or validity of such supplemental indenture.
(c) The Company shall not become a party to any Share Exchange Event unless its terms are consistent with this Section 14.07. None of the foregoing provisions shall affect the right of a holder of Notes to convert its Notes into cash, shares of Common Stock or a combination of cash and shares of Common Stock, as applicable, as set forth in Section 14.01 and Section 14.02 prior to the effective date of such Share Exchange Event.
(d) The above provisions of this Section shall similarly apply to successive Share Exchange Events.
Changes of Commitments (a) The Aggregate Commitments shall at all times be equal to the lesser of (i) the Aggregate Maximum Credit Amounts after adjustments resulting from reductions pursuant to Section 2.03(b) or increases pursuant to Section 2.03(d), and (ii) the Borrowing Base as determined from time to time.
(b) The Company shall have the right to terminate or to reduce the amount of the Aggregate Maximum Credit Amounts at any time or from time to time upon not less than three (3) Business Days' prior notice to the Agent (which shall promptly notify the Banks) of each such termination or reduction, which notice shall specify the effective date thereof and the amount of any such reduction (which shall not be less than $10,000,000, or any whole multiple of $5,000,000 in excess thereof) and shall be irrevocable and effective only upon receipt by the Agent. The Aggregate Maximum Credit Amounts once terminated or reduced may not be reinstated.
(c) [reserved]
(d) The Company shall have the right, without the consent of the Banks but subject to the approval of the Agent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), to effectuate from time to time an increase in the Aggregate Maximum Credit Amounts under this Agreement by adding to this Agreement one or more commercial banks or other financial institutions (who shall, upon completion of the requirements stated in this Section 2.03(d), constitute Banks hereunder), or by allowing one or more Banks to increase their Maximum Credit Amount hereunder, so that such added and increased Maximum Credit Amount(s) shall equal the increase in Aggregate Maximum Credit Amounts effectuated pursuant to this Section 2.03(d); provided that: (i) no increase in the Aggregate Maximum Credit Amounts pursuant to this Section 2.03(d) shall result in the Aggregate Maximum Credit Amounts exceeding $500,000,000, (ii) no Bank's Maximum Credit Amount shall be increased without the consent of such Bank, (iii) the Company shall prepay all of the Loans on the date of such increase and the Company may (subject to Sections 2.01, 2.02 and 6.02 and the other provisions hereof) reborrow on such date from the Banks based on the new Percentage Shares and shall make any payments required pursuant to Section 5.05 as a result of such prepayment, and (iv) the Company shall not have the right to increase the Aggregate Maximum Credit Amounts pursuant to this Section 2.03(d) if any Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of such increase. The Company shall give the Agent three (3) Business Days' prior written notice of its intent to increase the Aggregate Maximum Credit Amounts pursuant to this Section 2.03(d). Such notice shall specify each new commercial bank or other financial institution, if any, the changes in amounts of Aggregate Maximum Credit Amounts that will result, and such other information as is reasonably requested by the Agent. Each new commercial bank or other financial institution, and each Bank agreeing to increase its Maximum Credit Amount, shall execute and deliver to the Agent an Acceptance Agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit F pursuant to which it becomes a party hereto or increases its Maximum Credit Amount, as the case may be, which document, in the case of a new commercial bank or other financial institution, shall (among other matters) specify the Applicable Lending Office of such new commercial bank or other financial institution. In addition, the Agent shall prepare and deliver to the Company and each Bank a new Annex I reflecting the new Percentage Share of each Bank and its Maximum Credit Amount. Finally, the Company shall execute and deliver a Note, in substantially the form of Exhibit A, in the principal amount of the Maximum Credit Amount of each new commercial bank or other financial institution, or a replacement Note in the principal amount of the increased Maximum Credit Amount of each Bank agreeing to increase its Maximum Credit Amount, as the case may be. The Company shall also deliver other documents of the nature referred to in Section 6.01(a) to the Agent in such form and substance as may be reasonably required by it. Upon execution and delivery of the appropriate documentation and the delivery to it of its Note, such new commercial bank or other financial institution shall constitute a "Bank" hereunder with a Maximum Credit Amount as specified in the new Annex I delivered pursuant to this Section 2.03(d), or such Bank's Maximum Credit Amount shall increase as specified therein, as the case may be.

VACANCIES, PROMOTIONS AND TRANSFERS A. Whenever a teacher is interested in being considered for assignment to any professional position in the district, he/she shall file written notice of his/her interest to the Assistant Superintendent of Human Resources. The Board declares its intention to give full consideration to present staff members in all vacancies in which they have expressed an interest.
1. It is agreed that any vacancy occurring during the current school year shall only be filled on a temporary basis for the remainder of that school year. By May 1 of each year, a list of all vacancies shall be posted in a designated area in each administrative unit. Any teacher with proper qualifications may, within seven (7) calendar days of May 1 and all subsequent postings until August 1 of each year, apply for and shall be granted an interview before such vacancy is filled, with the exception of when reductions in grade levels/subject areas occur in a building allowing first right of refusal to displaced staff for any open positions in his/her individual building. Vacant positions will be posted for three (3) work days after August 1 and prior to the first reported student instructional day of each year.
2. Any teacher requesting transfer between administrative units shall notify the Assistant Superintendent of Human Resources by April 30 for transfer in the subsequent year. Involuntary transfers within a building will occur prior to extending consideration to voluntary transfer requests. Before vacancies are filled, the qualifications of each teacher who has requested transfer shall be reviewed.
3. It is agreed that any teacher making written request to be assigned a position whose FTE is less than their current assignment has no guarantee of a future increase in FTE except as provided by the process defined elsewhere in this Article.
4. A vacancy shall be defined for purposes of this contract as a position presently unfilled, one to be open in the future or a new position, and which has no teacher on leave of absence or layoff status with the claim to the position.
