Request for Hearing The employee must file a written request for hearing within fifteen calendar days of receipt of the Notice of Dismissal or Suspension. Filing means receipt in the office designated no later than regular close of business on the last day of the filing period.

Public Hearing If the Grantee fails to respond to the Violation Notice received from the Grantor, or if the default is not remedied within the cure period set forth above, the Board shall schedule a public hearing if it intends to continue its investigation into the default. The Grantor shall provide the Grantee at least twenty (20) days prior written notice of such hearing, which specifies the time, place and purpose of such hearing, notice of which shall be published by the Clerk of the Grantor in a newspaper of general circulation within the Grantor in accordance with subsection 15.8 hereof. At the hearing, the Board shall give the Grantee an opportunity to state its position on the matter, present evidence and question witnesses, after which it shall determine whether or not the Franchise shall be revoked. The public hearing shall be on the record and a written transcript shall be made available to the Grantee within ten (10) business days. The decision of the Board shall be made in writing and shall be delivered to the Grantee.

Termination for Patent Challenge Either Party shall have the right to terminate this Agreement solely on a Shared Product-by-Shared Product basis upon written notice if the other Party or any of its Affiliates challenges the validity, scope or enforceability of or otherwise opposes any Patent (i) included in the Vividion Intellectual Property or Vividion Co-Co Collaboration Intellectual Property and that is licensed to Celgene under this Agreement in any action or proceeding, or (ii) included in the Celgene Intellectual Property or Celgene Co-Co Collaboration Intellectual Property that is licensed to Vividion under this Agreement in any action or proceeding (subject to the exceptions described in this Section 14.3(d), a “Challenge”) (other than as may be necessary or reasonably required to assert a defense, cross-claim or a counter-claim in an action or proceeding asserted by either Party or any of its Affiliates or Licensee Partners against the other Party or any of its Affiliates or to respond to a court request or order or administrative law, request or order) it being understood and agreed that either Party’s right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 14.3(d) shall not apply to any actions undertaken by an Affiliate of the other Party (the “Challenging Party”) that first becomes such an Affiliate as a result of a Change of Control involving the Challenging Party, where such new Affiliate was undertaking any of the activities described in the foregoing clause prior to such Change of Control; provided that a Party’s right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 14.3(d) shall apply to actions undertaken by such new Affiliate if the Challenging Party is the acquiror in such Change of Control and such new Affiliate does not terminate or otherwise cease participating in such action, proceeding, challenge or opposition within thirty (30) days after the effective date of such Change of Control. If a Licensee Partner of either Party challenges the validity, scope or enforceability of or otherwise opposes any Patent included in any of the intellectual property described in this Section 14.3(d) under which such Licensee Partner is sublicensed in any action or proceeding, then the Party that granted such sublicense shall, upon written notice from the other Party, terminate such sublicense. For the avoidance of doubt, an action by a Party or any of its Affiliates (collectively the “Pursuing Party”) in accordance with this Agreement and the Master Agreement to amend claims within a pending patent application of the other Party during the course of the Pursuing Party’s Prosecution of such pending patent application or in defense of a Third Party proceeding, or to make a negative determination of patentability of claims of a patent application of the other Party or to abandon a patent application of the other Party during the course of the Pursuing Party’s Prosecution of such pending patent application, shall not constitute a challenge under this Section 14.3(d). Neither Party shall, and each Party shall ensure that its Affiliates and Licensee Partners do not, use or disclose any Confidential Information of the other Party or any nonpublic information regarding the Prosecution or enforcement of any Vividion Patent, Celgene Co-Co Collaboration Patent or Vividion Co-Co Collaboration Patent (including Joint Co-Co Patents and Joint Patents) to which a Party or any of its Affiliates or (sub)licensees are or become privy as a consequence of the rights granted to such Party pursuant to Article X, in initiating, requesting, making, filing or maintaining, or in funding or otherwise assisting any other Person with respect to, any Challenge.
Contractor Hearing Board 1. If there is evidence that the Contractor may be subject to debarment, the Department will notify the Contractor in writing of the evidence which is the basis for the proposed debarment and will advise the Contractor of the scheduled date for a debarment hearing before the Contractor Hearing Board.
2. The Contractor Hearing Board will conduct a hearing where evidence on the proposed debarment is presented. The Contractor and/or the Contractor’s representative shall be given an opportunity to submit evidence at that hearing. After the hearing, the Contractor Hearing Board shall prepare a tentative proposed decision, which shall contain a recommendation regarding whether the Contractor should be debarred, and, if so, the appropriate length of time of the debarment. The Contractor and the Department shall be provided an opportunity to object to the tentative proposed decision prior to its presentation to the Board of Supervisors.
3. After consideration of any objections, or if no objections are submitted, a record of the hearing, the proposed decision, and any other recommendation of the Contractor Hearing Board shall be presented to the Board of Supervisors. The Board of Supervisors shall have the right to modify, deny, or adopt the proposed decision and recommendation of the Contractor Hearing Board.
4. If a Contractor has been debarred for a period longer than five (5) years, that Contractor may after the debarment has been in effect for at least five (5) years, submit a written request for review of the debarment determination to reduce the period of debarment or terminate the debarment. The County may, in its discretion, reduce the period of debarment or terminate the debarment if it finds that the Contractor has adequately demonstrated one or more of the following: (1) elimination of the grounds for which the debarment was imposed; (2) a bona fide change in ownership or management; (3) material evidence discovered after debarment was imposed; or (4) any other reason that is in the best interests of the County.
5. The Contractor Hearing Board will consider a request for review of a debarment determination only where (1) the Contractor has been debarred for a period longer than five (5) years; (2) the debarment has been in effect for at least five (5) years; and (3) the request is in writing, states one or more of the grounds for reduction of the debarment period or termination of the debarment, and includes supporting documentation. Upon receiving an appropriate request, the Contractor Hearing Board will provide notice of the hearing on the request. At the hearing, the Contractor Hearing Board shall conduct a hearing where evidence on the proposed reduction of debarment period or termination of debarment is presented. This hearing shall be conducted and the request for review decided by the Contractor Hearing Board pursuant to the same procedures as for a debarment hearing.
6. The Contractor Hearing Board’s proposed decision shall contain a recommendation on the request to reduce the period of debarment or terminate the debarment. The Contractor Hearing Board shall present its proposed decision and recommendation to the Board of Supervisors. The Board of Supervisors shall have the right to modify, deny, or adopt the proposed decision and recommendation of the Contractor Hearing Board.
