  • Appraisal Reductions (a) The Special Servicer shall: (i) upon the occurrence of an Appraisal Reduction Event, promptly notify the Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator and, during any CCR Control Period and any CCR Consultation Period, the Controlling Class Representative of such occurrence of an Appraisal Reduction Event; (ii) within 30 days after the occurrence of such Appraisal Reduction Event, order, and use efforts consistent with Accepted Servicing Practices, to obtain an independent Appraisal of the Property unless an Appraisal was performed within 9 months prior to the Appraisal Reduction Event and the Special Servicer is not aware of any material change in the market or condition or value of the Property since the date of such Appraisal (in which case, such Appraisal may be used by the Special Servicer); and (iii) determine (no later than the first Distribution Date on or following either (x) the receipt of such Appraisal (in final form) (provided, that if such new Appraisal was received less than five (5) Business Days prior to such Distribution Date, it will determine no later than the second Distribution Date following the receipt of such Appraisal) or (y) the determination to use any existing Appraisals, as applicable) on the basis of the applicable Appraisals, and receipt of information reasonably requested by the Special Servicer from the Servicer in the Servicer’s possession and reasonably necessary to calculate the Appraisal Reduction Amount, whether there exists any Appraisal Reduction Amount and, if an Appraisal Reduction Amount exists, give notice thereof to the Servicer, the Trustee, the Companion Loan Holders (or, in the case of a Companion Loan that is part of an Other Securitization Trust, the master servicer, special servicer and trustee with respect to such Other Securitization Trust) and the Certificate Administrator. The cost of obtaining any such Appraisal (or updated Appraisal) shall be paid by the Servicer as a Property Protection Advance or an Administrative Advance unless it would constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance and, in such case, as an expense of the Trust. Updates of such Appraisals shall be obtained by the Special Servicer every nine (9) months for so long as an Appraisal Reduction Event exists and shall be paid for by the Servicer as a Property Protection Advance or an Administrative Advance (or paid for by the Trust if the Servicer or the Special Servicer determines that such Advance would constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance), and any Appraisal Reduction Amount shall be adjusted accordingly and, if required in accordance with any such adjustment, each Class of Principal Balance Certificates and the Uncertificated VRR Interest with a Certificate Balance or Uncertificated VRR Interest Balance, as applicable, that has been notionally reduced as a result of such Appraisal Reduction Amount shall have its related Certificate Balance or Combined VRR Interest Balance, as applicable, notionally restored (or reduced if applicable) to the extent required by such adjustment of the Appraisal Reduction Amount, and there shall be a redetermination of whether a CCR Control Period, a CCR Consultation Period or a CCR Consultation Termination Period is then in effect. The Servicer shall provide by electronic means reasonably acceptable to the Special Servicer and the Servicer the information in its possession or control as reasonably requested in writing by the Special Servicer within two (2) Business Days of any request to permit the Special Servicer to calculate or to recalculate the Appraisal Reduction Amount. The Mortgage Loan will be treated as a single loan for purposes of calculating the Appraisal Reduction Amount. Appraisal Reduction Amounts with respect to the Mortgage Loan shall be allocated first to the Junior Trust Notes on a pro rata and pari passu basis (in accordance with the relative principal balance of such Junior Trust Notes) up to the aggregate principal balance of the Junior Trust Notes, with any remainder being allocated to the Senior Notes on a pro rata and pari passu basis (in accordance with the relative principal balance of such Senior Notes). Any such Appraisal obtained under this Section 3.7 shall be delivered by the Special Servicer to the Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the 17g-5 Information Provider, any applicable Consenting Party and Consulting Party in electronic format and the Certificate Administrator shall make such Appraisal available to Non-Restricted Privileged Persons pursuant to Section 8.14(b), and the 17g-5 Information Provider shall post such Appraisal on the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website. (b) While an Appraisal Reduction Amount exists with respect to the Trust Loan, (i) the amount of any Monthly Interest Payment Advances shall be reduced as provided in Section 3.23(a) and (ii) the existence thereof shall be taken into account for purposes of determining (x) the Voting Rights of certain Classes of Certificates as provided in Section 3.7(c) and (y) whether a CCR Control Period is or is not then in effect as provided in the definition thereof. (c) The Certificate Balance of each Class of the Principal Balance Certificates (other than the Class A Certificates) shall be notionally reduced (solely for purposes of determining (x) to the extent expressly set forth herein, the Voting Rights of the related Classes and (y) whether a CCR Control Period is or is not then in effect) on any Distribution Date to the extent of any Appraisal Reduction Amount allocated to such Class on such Distribution Date. On each Distribution Date, the VRR Percentage of any Appraisal Reduction Amount shall be applied to notionally reduce (to not less than zero) the Combined VRR Interest Balance of the Combined VRR Interest, which amount shall, in turn, be applied to notionally reduce (to not less than zero) the Certificate Balance of the Class VRR Certificates and the Uncertificated VRR Interest Balance of the Uncertificated VRR Interest, pro rata, based on the respective then-outstanding amounts of such Certificate Balance and Uncertificated VRR Interest Balance. On each Distribution Date, the Non-Retained Percentage of any Appraisal Reduction Amount shall be applied to notionally reduce the Certificate Balances of the Class B Certificates; provided that the Certificate Balance in respect of such Class may not be notionally reduced below zero. Appraisal Reduction Amounts shall not be applied to notionally reduce the Certificate Balance of the Class A Certificates. (d) With respect to any Appraisal used for purposes of determining an Appraisal Reduction Amount, the appraised value of the Property or Foreclosed Property, as applicable, will be determined on an “as is” basis. (e) If (i) an Appraisal Reduction Event has occurred, (ii) either (A) no Appraisal or updates of an Appraisal have been obtained or conducted with respect to the Property or Foreclosed Property, as the case may be, during the 12-month period prior to the date of such Appraisal Reduction Event or (B) a material change in the circumstances surrounding the Property or Foreclosed Property, as the case may be, has occurred since the date of the most recent Appraisal that would materially adversely affect the value of the Property or Foreclosed Property, as the case may be, and (iii) no new Appraisal has been obtained or conducted for each such Property or Foreclosed Property, as the case may be, referred to in the immediately preceding clause (ii) within 60 days after the Appraisal Reduction Event has occurred, then (x) until a new Appraisal is obtained for the Property or Foreclosed Property, as the case may be, the appraised value of the Property or Foreclosed Property, as the case may be, for purposes of determining the Appraisal Reduction Amount shall be deemed to equal 75% of the unpaid principal balance of the Mortgage Loan (the “Assumed Appraised Value”) , and (y) upon receipt or performance of the new Appraisal by the Special Servicer with respect to the Property or Foreclosed Property, as the case may be, the Appraisal Reduction Amount shall be recalculated in accordance with the definition of “Appraisal Reduction Amount” taking such Appraisal into account. (f) The Special Servicer shall consult with the Controlling Class Representative (if it is a Consenting Party) in respect of the determination of any Appraisal Reduction Amount. The determination by the Special Servicer following such consultation will be binding until such time as a new determination is made based on a new Appraisal obtained as a result of the exercise of the rights of the Controlling Class Representative discussed below or otherwise in accordance with this Agreement. The Class B Certificates, if and when the Certificate Balance thereof is reduced to less than 25% of its initial Certificate Balance (taking into account the application of any Appraisal Reduction Amount to notionally reduce the Certificate Balance of such Class) and provided that a CCR Consultation Termination Event does not exist, is referred to as an “Appraisal-Reduced Class”. The holders of the majority (by Certificate Balance) of an Appraisal-Reduced Class (such holders, the “Requesting Holders”) shall have the right, at their sole expense, to require the Special Servicer to order a second Appraisal in respect of the Property in connection with the related Appraisal Reduction Event that has occurred with respect to the Mortgage Loan, and in connection therewith the Special Servicer shall use reasonable efforts to cause each such second Appraisal to be delivered within 60 days from receipt of the Requesting Holders’ written request and shall cause such second Appraisal to be prepared by an Independent Appraiser. Upon receipt of each such second Appraisal, the Special Servicer shall be required to recalculate such Appraisal Reduction Amount based upon such second Appraisal(s). If required by any such recalculation, a CCR Control Period may be reinstated. (g) In addition, if subsequent to the Class B Certificates becoming an Appraisal-Reduced Class there is a material change with respect to the Property, the Requesting Holders of such Class will have the right to request, in writing, that the Special Servicer obtain an additional Appraisal, which request shall set forth their belief of what constitutes a material change to such Property (including any related documentation). For the avoidance of doubt, only one such additional Appraisal of any particular Property, and only 4 such additional Appraisals of the Property, may be requested by the holders of an Appraisal-Reduced Class within the same two-year period. The costs of obtaining such additional Appraisal shall be paid by the Requesting Holders. Subject to the Special Servicer’s confirmation, determined in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices, that there has been a change with respect to the Property designated by the Requesting Holders for an additional Appraisal and such change was material, the Special Servicer shall order another Appraisal from an Independent Appraiser, the identity of which shall be determined by the Special Servicer in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices (provided that such Independent Appraiser may not be the same Independent Appraiser that provided the Appraisal in respect of which the Requesting Holders are requesting the Special Servicer to obtain an additional Appraisal), and the Special Servicer shall recalculate the Appraisal Reduction Amount based upon such additional Appraisal. If required by any such recalculation, a CCR Control Period shall be reinstated. In each case, Appraisals that are requested by any Appraisal-Reduced Class shall be in addition to any Appraisals that the Special Servicer may otherwise be required to obtain in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices upon the occurrence of a material change at the Property or that the Special Servicer is otherwise required or permitted to order under this Agreement without regard to any Appraisal requests made by any other party. Absent manifest error in the appraised value contained in an Appraisal (including a failure to reflect material adverse changes in circumstances affecting property valuations occurring since the date of such Appraisal), the Special Servicer shall not be permitted to adjust downward the appraised value of the Property contained in any Appraisal (provided such Appraisal satisfies customary standards for qualified appraisals in CMBS transactions) delivered to the Special Servicer (including any Appraisal obtained at the request of the Requesting Holders of an Appraisal-Reduced Class) in making an Appraisal Reduction Amount calculation, to the extent that such downward adjustment would cause the Class B Certificates to become an Appraisal-Reduced Class (h) Upon becoming an Appraisal-Reduced Class and thereafter (including during any period that the Appraisal-Reduced Class is challenging the determination of the Appraisal Reduction Amount with a second Appraisal or otherwise presenting a new Appraisal as described above), the Holders of the Class B Certificates shall not exercise any rights of the Controlling Class solely applicable during a CCR Control Period, and the Controlling Class Representative shall not be a Consenting Party, until such time, if any, as such CCR Control Period is reinstated.

  • Staff Reduction 11.1 When a reduction within the District is needed, the affected employee(s) and the Association will be notified as to which position(s) will be eliminated or reduced at least fourteen (14) calendar days prior to the reduction. 11.2 When a reduction within the District is needed, the Board will determine which position(s) will be eliminated or reduced. An employee whose position will be eliminated or reduced shall have the right to displace an employee in his/her present job classification or another job classification in accordance with the following: a. The laid off or reduced employee has greater seniority than the employee to be displaced. b. The laid off or reduced employee had an equal or greater number of hours in his/her regular schedule than the employee to be displaced. c. The laid off or reduced employee presently has the necessary qualifications to perform the work. d. The laid off or reduced employee elects to exercise his/her displacement rights within five (5) working days of notification of his/her layoff or reduction.

Effective July 1, 1991, newly hired bargaining unit members shall be subject to recall for two (2) years. If the employee fails to report to work within ten (10) working days from the receipt of the recall notice via certified or registered mail, that person shall be considered a voluntary terminated employee. However, if an employee is recalled to a position of lesser hours, he/she shall have the option to refuse the position and shall not be removed from the recall list as a result of this action. 11.4 An employee may elect to accept layoff rather than exercise his/her bumping rights. 11.5 For the purposes of this agreement, qualified shall be defined as capable of skillfully and efficiently performing the job duties as summarized in the job description in a competent manner with minimal instruction. The District reserves the right to test employees as needed. Qualified includes the following: a. Any licenses, certification and training necessary to perform the job, and b. demonstrated skills and merits. The most senior qualified employee shall be selected, excepting that a less senior candidate may be selected if he/she has greatly superior training and skills. The burden of proof of greatly superior training and skills shall be on the Board.

A regular employee is one whose employment is reasonably expected to continue for longer than fifteen (15) months. Section 2. A part-time employee shall be deemed to be any employee regularly scheduled to work less than forty (40) hours per week. Section 3. The Company shall have the right to reduce employee classifications from full-time to part-time or to increase employee classifications from part-time to full-time. Should the Company deem it appropriate to reclassify full-time employees to part-time employees, it will seek volunteers from the affected group and then force in reverse order of seniority. Section 4. A temporary employee is one who is engaged for a specific project or a limited period, with the definite understanding that his/her employment is to terminate upon completion of the project or at the end of the period, and whose employment is expected to continue for more than three (3) consecutive weeks, but not more than fifteen (15) months. The termination of the employment of such temporary employees shall not be subject to the grievance or arbitration provisions of this Agreement. Section 5. Agency workers and independent contractors shall not be deemed to be employees of the Company and, as such, shall not be covered by any of the terms or conditions of this Agreement.

  • Job Classification Full-Time and Part-Time (a) When a new classification (which is covered by the terms of this Collective Agreement) is established by the Hospital, the Hospital shall determine the rate of pay for such new classification and notify the Local Union of the same within seven (7) days. If the local challenges the rate, it shall have the right to request a meeting with the Hospital to endeavor to negotiate a mutually satisfactory rate. Such request will be made within ten (10) days after the receipt of notice from the Hospital of such new occupational classification and rate. Any change mutually agreed to resulting from such meeting shall be retroactive to the date that notice of the new rate was given by the Hospital. If the parties are unable to agree, the dispute concerning the new rate may be submitted to arbitration as provided in the Agreement within fifteen (15) days of such meeting. The decision of the Board of Arbitration (or Arbitrator as the case may be) shall be based on the relationship established by comparison with the rates for other classifications in the bargaining unit having regard to the requirements of such classification. (b) When the Hospital makes a substantial change during the term of this agreement in the job content of an existing classification which in reality causes such classification to become a new classification, the Hospital agrees to meet with the Union, to permit the Union to make representation with respect to the appropriate rate of pay. (c) If the matter is not resolved following the meeting with the Union the matter may be referred to arbitration as provided in the Agreement within fifteen (15) days of such meeting. The decision of the Arbitrator shall be based on the relationship established by comparison with the rates for other classifications in the bargaining unit having regard to the requirements of such classifications. (d) The parties further agree that any change mutually agreed to or awarded as a result of arbitration shall be retroactive only to the date that the Union raised the issue with the Hospital.

  • Reduction A. No regular employee or limited-term regular employee shall be reduced to a position in a lower class for reasons of unsatisfactory performance or physical disability except for reasonable cause. B. A written notice of such reduction stating specifically the cause of the reduction shall be given to the employee. C. In accordance with the provisions of Article X, an appeal of reduction for reasons of unsatisfactory performance or physical disability shall be initiated at the Step 2 of the grievance/appeal procedure; except for reductions imposed by the County Executive Officer which may be referred directly to arbitration.

(b) Upon at least three (3) Business Days’ prior written notice (or telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing) to the Administrative Agent (which notice shall be irrevocable unless the Borrower provides in such notice (in connection with a termination in whole) that it is conditional on the occurrence of another financing or transaction, in which case such notice may be revoked if such financing or transaction does not occur on a timely basis; provided that the Borrower shall pay all amounts required to be paid pursuant to Section 2.19 as a result of such revocation), the Borrower may reduce the Aggregate Revolving Commitments in part or terminate the Aggregate Revolving Commitments in whole; provided that (i) any partial reduction shall apply to reduce proportionately and permanently the Revolving Commitment of each Lender, (ii) any partial reduction pursuant to this Section shall be in an amount of at least $5,000,000 and any larger multiple of $1,000,000, and (iii) no such reduction shall be permitted which would reduce the Aggregate Revolving Commitment Amount to an amount less than the aggregate outstanding Revolving Credit Exposure of all Lenders. Any such reduction in the Aggregate Revolving Commitment Amount below the principal amount of the Swingline Commitment and the LC Commitment shall result in a dollar-for-dollar reduction in the Swingline Commitment and the LC Commitment, as applicable. (c) With the written approval of the Administrative Agent, the Borrower may terminate (on a non-ratable basis) the unused amount of the Revolving Commitment of a Defaulting Lender, and in such event the provisions of Section 2.26 will apply to all amounts thereafter paid by the Borrower for the account of any such Defaulting Lender under this Agreement (whether on account of principal, interest, fees, indemnity or other amounts); provided that such termination will not be deemed to be a waiver or release of any claim that the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank, the Swingline Lender or any other Lender may have against such Defaulting Lender.
