PROTECTION OF TEACHERS A. The Board recognizes its responsibility to continue to give administrative backing and support to its teachers, although each teacher bears the primary responsibility for maintaining proper control and discipline in his/her classroom. The teachers recognize that all disciplinary actions and methods invoked by them shall be reasonable and just. The Board further recognizes that teachers cannot maintain the proper classroom atmosphere when, and if, they are charged with the responsibility of serving as custodians for persistently and/or excessively disruptive students. It shall be the responsibility of the teacher to report immediately to his principal the name of any student who, in the opinion of the teacher, needs particular assistance from skilled personnel. The teacher shall, upon request, be advised by the principal of the disposition of the teacher's report that a particular student needs such assistance.
B. If criminal or civil proceedings are brought against a teacher arising out of disciplinary action taken by a teacher against a student, the Board, upon request, will provide initial legal counsel to advise the teacher of his/her rights. The Association, after review of the facts of the case, may request the Board to furnish legal counsel to defend the teacher in such proceedings. If the request is denied, a three member committee consisting of a member of the LEA, a member of the Administration, and a member of the Board will review for a final decision on providing counsel.
C. Time lost by a teacher in connection with any incident involving assault by a student shall not be charged against the teacher.
D. The Board will reimburse employees for any loss, damage or destruction of clothing or glasses of the employee while fulfilling professional duties and assignments. Vehicle reimbursement will be provided subject to these conditions: 1) the vehicle must have been parked in a designated teacher parking area; 2) the damage must have occurred during regular school hours; 3) a police report must be filed; 4) the damage must be judged by the police to have been vandalism rather than the result of an accident; 5) if the guilty parties are tentatively identified the teacher must assist in the prosecution or discipline of the parties; 6) the maximum reimbursement shall be one hundred dollars ($100). The Board and Association agree that there shall be no duplication of benefits and such reimbursement will be determined after the employees personal insurance coverage benefits, if any, are deducted from the amount of the claim. This will not include theft. The Board reserves the right to fully investigate with the cooperation of the teacher, the circumstances surrounding such a claim for the purpose of determining whether students or other individuals may be held liable for any such damage.
E. Except in life threatening or emergency situations no teacher shall be expected to perform medical or hygiene procedures for students such as, but not limited to, suctioning, catherization, toileting, diapering, or attending to any personal hygiene or medical needs of students. The Board will endeavor to provide ongoing medical and hygiene procedures for students utilizing staff other than classroom teachers. If extenuating circumstances arise in specific situations, the administration may meet with the teacher and an LEA representative to discuss problems and how they will be solved. Any solutions must be mutually agreeable before enacted. The section is not intended to limit or alter the responsibility of teachers specialized areas such as physical education and athletics.

The Contractor further agrees that (except where it has obtained for specific time periods) it will obtain identical certification from proposed subcontractors prior to the award of subcontracts exceeding $10,000 which are not exempt from the provisions of the equal opportunity clause; that it will retain such certifications in its files; and that it will forward the preceding notice to such proposed subcontractors (except where proposed subcontractors have submitted identical certifications for specific time periods).

This Agreement will terminate without penalty, liability or expense of any kind to City at the end of any fiscal year if funds are not appropriated for the next succeeding fiscal year. If funds are appropriated for a portion of the fiscal year, this Agreement will terminate, without penalty, liability or expense of any kind at the end of the term for which funds are appropriated.

PATENT PROTECTION 10.1. LICENSEE shall be responsible for all past, present and future costs of filing, prosecution and maintenance of all United States patent applications contained in the LICENSED PATENTS. Any and all such United States patent applications, and resulting issued patents, shall remain the property of YALE.
10.2. LICENSEE shall be responsible for all past, present and future costs of filing, prosecution and maintenance of all foreign patent applications, and patents contained in the LICENSED PATENTS in the countries outside the United States in the LICENSED TERRITORY selected by YALE and agreed to by LICENSEE. All such applications or patents shall remain the property of YALE.
10.3. If LICENSEE does not agree to pay the expenses of filing, prosecuting or maintaining a patent application or patent in any country outside the United States, or fails to pay the expenses of filing, prosecuting or maintaining a patent application or patent in the United States, then the LICENSE with respect to such patent application or patent shall terminate automatically with respect to that country.
10.4. The costs mentioned in Sections 10.2 and 10.3 shall include, but are not limited to, any past, present and future taxes, annuities, working fees, maintenance fees, renewal and extension charges. Payment of such costs shall be made, at YALE’s option, either directly to patent counsel or by reimbursement to YALE. In either case, LICENSEE shall make payment directly to the appropriate party within thirty (30) days of receiving its invoice. If LICENSEE fails to make payment to YALE or patent counsel, as appropriate, within the thirty (30) day period, LICENSEE shall be charged a five percent (5%) surcharge on the invoiced amount per month or fraction thereof or such other amount (higher or lower) as may be charged by patent counsel. Failure of LICENSEE to pay the surcharge shall be grounds for termination by YALE under Section 13.1 as and to the extent the same constitutes a TERMINATION EVENT.
10.5. All patent applications under the LICENSED PATENTS shall be prepared, prosecuted, filed and maintained by independent patent counsel chosen by YALE and reasonably acceptable to LICENSEE. Said independent patent counsel shall be ultimately responsible to YALE. LICENSEE shall have the right to retain, at its own expense, separate patent counsel to advise LICENSEE regarding such patent matters. YALE shall instruct its patent counsel to keep YALE, LICENSEE and LICENSEE’s patent counsel, if any, fully informed of the progress of all patent applications and patents, and to give both YALE and LICENSEE reasonable opportunity to comment on the type and scope of useful claims and the nature of supporting disclosures and other matters in the course of patent prosecution and maintenance. YALE will not finally abandon any patent application for which LICENSEE is bearing expenses without LICENSEE’s consent. In making its decisions regarding patent matters YALE shall (1) give due regard to the advice of its patent counsel, (2) instruct its patent counsel to consider any advice offered by LICENSEE’s patent counsel, if any, and (3) conduct such preparation, prosecution and maintenance of patent applications and patents in a manner that is commercially reasonable and with a view to assisting LICENSEE in complying with its obligations under this AGREEMENT and to facilitate LICENSEE’s ability to commercialize PRODUCTS IN CLASS and/or LICENSED METHODS for which royalties will be payable by LICENSEE under Section 6.1. YALE shall have no liability to LICENSEE for damages, whether direct, indirect or incidental, consequential or otherwise, allegedly arising from its good faith decisions, actions and omissions taken in compliance with this AGREEMENT in connection with such patent prosecution.
