The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee of the Board and the Board will nominate, recommend and support each of the Holders Directors for election at each Annual Meeting of the Shareholders of Perceptron during the Covered Period. Perceptron agrees to solicit proxies for the Holders Directors during the Covered Period pursuant to this Section 5(b) and include the Holders Directors in its slate of nominees (the “Company Slate”) for election as directors of Perceptron during the Covered Period in the same manner as it does for all the other incumbent members of the Company Slate. c. As a condition to the Holders Directors’ nomination for election to the Board during the Covered Period, Holders and the Holders Directors agree to provide to Perceptron the information required to be disclosed for directors, candidates for directors and their affiliates and representatives in a proxy statement or other filings under applicable law or stock exchange rules or listing standards, information in connection with assessing eligibility, independence and other criteria applicable to directors, and satisfying other compliance requirements and legal obligations in the same manner as any other director, a fully completed copy of Perceptron’s standard director questionnaire and such other information as reasonably requested by Perceptron from time to time with respect to Holders and the Holders Directors. d.

At all times while serving as a Director, each of the Holders Directors will receive the same benefits of directors’ and officers’ insurance and any indemnity and exculpation arrangements available generally to the other non-executive Board members and the same compensation and other benefits for his service as a director as the compensation and other benefits received by the other non-executive Board members for service as a director. f. Holders shall cause the Holders Directors to comply with all corporate and Board policies and principles of Perceptron in force from time to time and applicable to Directors of Perceptron generally, and to provide Perceptron with signed agreements from the Holders Directors to that effect. g. Other than any incentive, compensation or other payment Xxxx Xxxxxx may receive in his employment roles with the Holders, which arrangements will not be materially increased in connection with or as a result of Xxxx Xxxxxx becoming or serving as a Holders Director, the Holders Directors will not accept any incentive, compensation or other payment that would influence any of them to recommend that Perceptron enter into a transaction for the sale of Perceptron or to recommend any other significant initiative affecting Perceptron and its shareholders, but nothing herein will prevent Holders Directors from recommending such transactions or initiatives as specifically permitted in this Agreement. h. Except as otherwise set forth in this Section 5(h), each Holders Director shall comply with all policies, procedures, processes, codes, rules, standards and guidelines applicable to Directors (as each may be amended from time to time for all Directors) and will execute the Non-Disclosure Agreement substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Confidentiality Agreement”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Xxxx Xxxxxx may discuss confidential information with officers and managers of the Holders in accordance with and subject to the terms of the Confidentiality Agreement after the Confidentiality Agreement has been mutually executed and delivered to Perceptron by Xxxx Xxxxxx, and, if applicable, officers and managers of the Holders who will receive confidential information, and subject to full compliance with Perceptron’s xxxxxxx xxxxxxx policies. i. Perceptron agrees that if any of the Holders Directors are unable to serve as a director, resign as a director or are removed as a director, Holders shall have the ability to recommend a substitute person who satisfies all of the requirements for board candidates set forth in Section 1(f) and 5, and, except for a substitute for Xxxx Xxxxxx, is not an affiliate or associate of any shareholder who owns more than five percent of the outstanding shares of Common Stock of Perceptron, (“Replacement Director”) for approval by the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee of the Board, in good faith after exercising its fiduciary duties, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. Upon the recommendation of a Replacement Director nominee by the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee of the Board, the Board shall vote on the appointment of such Replacement Director to the Board no later than ten (10) business days after the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee recommendation of such Replacement Director; provided, however, that if the Board does not elect such Replacement Director to the Board, the parties shall continue to follow the procedures of this section 5(i) until a Replacement Director is elected to the Board.
Newly Created Directorships and Vacancies Subject to Section 5.5 hereof, newly created directorships resulting from an increase in the number of directors and any vacancies on the Board resulting from death, resignation, retirement, disqualification, removal or other cause may be filled solely and exclusively by a majority vote of the remaining directors then in office, even if less than a quorum, or by a sole remaining director (and not by stockholders), and any director so chosen shall hold office for the remainder of the full term of the class of directors to which the new directorship was added or in which the vacancy occurred and until his or her successor has been elected and qualified, subject, however, to such director’s earlier death, resignation, retirement, disqualification or removal.
Other Business Activities of the Holders Each Holder acknowledges that the other Holders may make loans or otherwise extend credit to, and generally engage in any kind of business with, any Borrower Party Affiliate, and receive payments on such other loans or extensions of credit to any Borrower Party Affiliate and otherwise act with respect thereto freely and without accountability, but only if none of the foregoing violate the Mortgage Loan Documents, in the same manner as if this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby were not in effect.
Services to Other Clients; Certain Affiliated Activities (a) The relationship between the Asset Manager and the Series is as described in this Agreement and nothing in this Agreement, none of the services to be provided pursuant to this Agreement, nor any other matter, shall oblige the Asset Manager to accept responsibilities that are more extensive than those set forth in this Agreement. (b) The Asset Manager’s services to the Series are not exclusive. The Asset Manager may engage in other activities on behalf of itself, any other Managing Party and other clients (which, for the avoidance of doubt, may include other series of the Company). The Series acknowledges and agrees that the Asset Manager may, without prior notice to the Series, give advice to such other clients. The Asset Manager shall not be liable to account to the Series for any profits, commission or remuneration made or received in respect of transactions effected pursuant to the Asset Manager’s advice to another client and nor will the Asset Manager’s fees be abated as a result.
VACANCIES AND NEW POSITIONS 3.3.1 During the work year, written notices of vacancies and new positions within the bargaining unit will be posted on the District jobs website for not less than five (5) working days. For an applicant to be considered for a vacant or new position, they must: a. Submit their online application and all other required application materials no later than five (5) working days from the first day of the posting, and b. Possess the minimum skills and qualifications applicable to the vacant or new position. 3.3.2 A vacancy is an open position within the bargaining unit or non represented groups over 10 hours per week (i.e., 2.1 hours per day). Employees who meet the posted qualifications will receive an interview for the position upon application. Applicants not receiving an interview or offer of position will be given feedback, upon request. Skill tests will not normally be required if the skill requirements of the new position are not greater than the applicant's current assignment unless the skill test is deemed necessary to determine the most qualified applicant. Positions will be filled by any present or prospective employee based upon affirmative action requirements, experience, and job qualifications for the position. If two finalists are considered equal, then the applicant from within the district with the most bargaining unit seniority will be selected for bargaining unit positions. 3.3.3 Employees transferred to new positions in the bargaining unit will receive salary credit at full value for all prior experience gained within the bargaining unit. 3.3.4 Current employees within the bargaining unit who are accepted for a position under Section 3.3.2 above will be given a thirty (30) work day work trial. If the employee's performance on the new job is not satisfactory, she/he will be returned to her/his former position or to another suitable position. Absent just cause for termination, such employee will not be terminated due to her/his unsatisfactory performance during the thirty (30) day trial period. 3.3.5 Increased hours at the worksite will be offered first to the most senior employees within the classification, if qualified as determined by the supervisor at the worksite, providing they have a work schedule which can accommodate the additional hour(s) within a normal work week. The number of hours per week may be offered up to ten (10) hours, but may not result in a combined assignment of more than forty (40) hours per week. Employees wishing more hours of work will notify their supervisor/building administrator in writing. 3.3.6 Summer school assignments will be offered on a seniority basis, except that those employees who carry out the job during the course of the regular work year will receive first choice of refusal. 3.3.7 If the school district uses a numerical staffing formula to assign employees to schools based on enrollment, employee hours will be adjusted in October of the school year to reflect actual enrollment. The formula results and adjusted hours will be provided to the association president(s) by October 15. 3.3.8 The district will provide at least a two (2) week written notice of paraeducator hour reduction due to a decreased student overload factor. 3.3.9 An employee involuntarily transferred to a new position with a different job title will suffer no loss in hourly rate of pay. The transferred employee will be placed on the same experience step as in the previous position. An employee transferred to a position with a lower hourly rate of pay will be required to seek to restore lost pay by applying for open positions within the department for which he/she is qualified. An employee may choose to decline up to three (3) positions that will make him/her whole. Following the third (3rd) decline, any enhanced pay, travel time, and/or mileage reimbursements will end. 3.3.10 When reassignments are too numerous to fill individually, the district will schedule a reassignment meeting. The district will display all open positions and the current seniority list. Employees facing reassignment will be required to attend either in person or by proxy. By seniority, employees must select from any open position for which they are qualified to restore any lost hours. Such restoration cannot exceed thirty (30) additional minutes over lost hours. If hours cannot be restored with open positions by seniority, employees may bump the least senior person. Bumping will occur in the following order, first by the department in which they have lost hours and then by any other departments in which they retain seniority. Multiple reassignment meetings may be necessary. 3.3.11 Employees who have been reassigned will have priority rights, by seniority, to open positions for which they are qualified for up to twenty-four months. Reassigned employees will be required to communicate in writing, in person, by proxy, or by email their interest in a position in the pool no later than 4:00 PM of the day the position closes, if the position will make them whole. If employees have not responded by 4:00 PM of the day the position closes, they have declined the position. Notice of assignment will be provided via phone and follow-up letter within five (5) working days.
