Course Reimbursement 1. Teachers will be eligible for reimbursement for courses that will enhance the Teacher’s ability to improve student academic performance.
2. To be eligible for reimbursement, courses must be approved by the Professional Growth Committee (employing the program of staff development mandated by the state as an integral part of the Teacher’s recertification process) prior to taking the course; advance approval from the Superintendent of Schools is required.
3. Upon successful completion of the course with a grade of “B” or better, and submission of a transcript or signed official grade report and verification of tuition payment to the Superintendent, the Teacher will be reimbursed for the cost of tuition and registration fees.
4. Payment of course reimbursement is for tuition and related fees only. An individual is entitled to receive 2/3 reimbursement cost for 6 graduate level credits during each year of this contract not to exceed the New Hampshire resident UNH graduate level dollar amount plus any related fees. However, in no event shall the District expend more than $20,000 per contract year for course reimbursement. In the event that requests for course reimbursement exceed $20,000 in a contract year, the following lottery system will apply: Reimbursement will be available in two (2) reimbursement periods. Employees may apply for up to six (6) credits during period 1 after June 30th and prior to October 1st. Employees may apply for up to six (6) during period 2 starting December 1st. The disbursement of funds in period 1 shall not exceed half of the yearly agreed upon amount. Any sums not used during period 1 shall be rolled into period 2. Anyone applying during period 1 who has met the period 1 deadline will have their application considered. If the total of the requests is more than the designated monetary amount, then a lottery system will ensue to determine which applications receive the money. Those whose applications were not selected in period 1 will be eligible to submit again during period 2. If the total of the requests for period 2 is more than the designated monetary amount, then a lottery system will ensue to determine which applications receive the money. The disbursement in period 2 shall not exceed the total agreed upon amount. Applications for reimbursement in period 2 may not have received any previous reimbursement during period 1 unless there are unexpended funds in period 2. Also, if an applicant received funds in period 1, that application may not cause a lottery to occur in period 2.
5. Advance Payment Plan - The District will prepay for any course that has been approved by the Professional Growth Committee (employing the program of staff development mandated by the state as an integral part of the Teacher's recertification process). Each participating Teacher will enter into an Agreement with the District to submit receipts, grades, and other paperwork for the course that was prepaid. The Teacher will agree in writing to keep his/her advanced payment account records up- to-date. If the Teacher fails to fulfill the requirements of the advanced payment plan, the Teacher agrees that the District will withhold any balance due the District from the last paycheck under the Teacher's contract.

Maximum Capital Expenditures The Parent and the Borrower will, and will cause each Consolidated Subsidiary to, not make Capital Expenditures on a consolidated basis that exceed $30,000,000 in any fiscal year (the “Base Capital Expenditure Amount”). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the Base Capital Expenditure Amount shall be increased by the following amounts: (i) to the extent that the aggregate amount of Capital Expenditures made by the Parent and its Consolidated Subsidiaries in any fiscal year is less than the Base Capital Expenditure Amount, the amount of such difference may be carried forward and used to make Capital Expenditures in succeeding fiscal years, provided that in any fiscal year, the amount permitted to be applied to make Capital Expenditures pursuant to this clause (i) shall in no event exceed an amount equal to 75% of the unused portion of the Base Capital Expenditure Amount for such fiscal year (without giving effect to any prior adjustments), (ii) if no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, or would result after giving effect thereto, the Parent and its Consolidated Subsidiaries may make additional Capital Expenditures to the extent that the amount of such excess is deducted from the Base Capital Expenditure Amount in succeeding fiscal years, provided that in any fiscal year, the amount permitted to be applied to make Capital Expenditures pursuant to this clause (ii) shall in no event exceed an amount equal to 25% of the Base Capital Expenditure Amount (without giving effect to any prior adjustments) and (iii) the Base Capital Expenditure Amount shall exclude any Capital Expenditures that are funded with the Available Credits; provided that, at the time of such Capital Expenditures, the Borrower shall deliver a certificate of a Financial Officer stating the portion of Capital Expenditures that is being made from the Available Credit, and setting forth a calculation of the Available Credit immediately before and immediately after such Capital Expenditures.
Net Working Capital At least three (3) business days prior to the Closing Date, Sellers shall deliver to Buyer a certificate (the “Estimated NWC Certificate”), including a consolidated balance sheet of the Company as of the Closing Date, prepared in accordance with the accounting principles, methods, practices, estimates, judgments and assumptions applied in the preparation of the Company’s financial statements, consistently applied (the “Accounting Principles”), which shall include (a) the Sellers’ good faith estimate (such estimate is referred to as the “Estimated Net Working Capital Amount”) of the “Net Working Capital Amount.” As used herein, “Net Working Capital Amount” means the Net Working Capital of the Company as of 11:59 p.m. EST on the day immediately preceding the Closing Date. “Net Working Capital” means the result of (i) all cash of the Company minus (ii) all current liabilities (excluding the Existing Indebtedness) of the Company, in each case determined in accordance with the Accounting Principles. The Purchase Price at Closing shall be increased by the Estimated Net Working Capital Amount. No later than ninety (90) days following the Closing Date, Buyer shall prepare and deliver to Sellers (i) a consolidated balance sheet of the Company dated at the Closing Date, which shall be prepared in accordance with the Accounting Principles and (ii) a reasonably detailed statement (the “Final NWC Certificate”) setting forth Buyer’s calculations of the Net Working Capital Amount. If Sellers have any objections to the Final NWC Certificate, Sellers shall deliver to Buyer a statement setting forth its objections thereto (an “Objections Statement”), provided that the only bases for objections shall be (i) non-compliance with the standards set forth above for preparation of the Final NWC Certificate, or as set forth in the definition of Net Working Capital, and (ii) mathematical errors. If an Objections Statement is not delivered to Buyer within thirty (30) days after delivery of the Final NWC Certificate, the Final NWC Certificate shall be final, binding and non-appealable by the parties hereto. Sellers and Buyer shall negotiate in good faith to resolve any objections set forth in the Objections Statement (and all such discussions related thereto shall, unless otherwise agreed by Buyer and Sellers, be governed by Rule 408 of the Federal Rules of Evidence (and any applicable similar state rule)), but if they do not reach a final resolution within thirty (30) days after the delivery of the Objections Statement, Sellers and Buyer may submit such dispute to one of the “Big Four” accounting firms other than Ernst & Young LLP or PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, or, in the event that any such auditor is unable to accept such appointment, to any other nationally recognized independent accounting firm mutually acceptable to Buyer and Sellers (the “Independent Auditor”). Each party shall be afforded an opportunity to present to the Independent Auditor material relating to the disputed issues and to discuss the determination with the Independent Auditor. The Independent Auditor shall act as an auditor and not as an arbitrator and shall resolve matters in dispute and adjust and establish any disputed adjustment of the Net Working Capital Amount to reflect such resolution, provided that the Independent Auditor shall not assign a value to any item or amount in dispute greater than the greatest value for such item or amount assigned by Sellers, on the one hand, or Buyer, on the other hand, or less than the smallest value for such item or amount assigned by Sellers, on the one hand, or Buyer, on the other hand. It is the intent of Buyer and Sellers that the process set forth in this Section 11(F) and the activities of the Independent Auditor in connection herewith are not intended to be and, in fact, are not arbitration and that no formal arbitration rules shall be followed (including rules with respect to procedures and discovery). Sellers and Buyer shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Independent Auditor to resolve all such disagreements as promptly as practicable. The resolution of the dispute by the Independent Auditor shall be final, binding and non-appealable on the parties hereto. The Final NWC Certificate shall be modified if necessary to reflect such determination. The fees and expenses of the Independent Auditor shall be allocated for payment by Buyer, on the one hand, and/or Sellers, on the other hand, based upon the percentage which the portion of the contested amount not awarded to each party bears to the amount actually contested by such party, as determined by the Independent Auditor. If the Net Working Capital Amount as finally determined pursuant to the dispute resolution procedures described above is greater than the Estimated Net Working Capital Amount shown on the Estimated NWC Certificate, then Buyer shall pay to Sellers cash equal to the amount by which the Net Working Capital Amount exceeds the Estimated Net Working Capital Amount. If the Net Working Capital Amount as finally determined pursuant to the dispute resolution procedures described above is less than the Estimated Net Working Capital Amount shown on the Estimated NWC Certificate, then Sellers shall pay to Buyer cash equal to the amount by which the Estimated Net Working Capital Amount exceeds the Net Working Capital Amount.
Reimbursement Obligation of the Borrowers In the event of any drawing under any Letter of Credit, each Borrower agrees to immediately reimburse the Issuing Lender for amounts paid by the Issuing Lender in respect of draws under each Letter of Credit. In order to facilitate such repayment, each Borrower hereby irrevocably requests that the Lenders make, and the Lenders hereby severally agree to make, on the terms and conditions of this Agreement (other than as provided in Articles 2 and 6 with respect to the amounts of, the timing and form of requests for, and the repayment of, Revolving Credit Loans hereunder and in Section 7.2 with respect to conditions precedent to Revolving Credit Loans hereunder), with respect to any drawing under a Letter of Credit, a Revolving Credit Loan bearing interest at the Base Rate commencing on the day on which any drawing is made under any Letter of Credit and in the aggregate amount of such drawing plus any amounts referred to in Section 3.3(c) incurred by the Issuing Lender in connection with such draw, the proceeds of which shall be applied to reimburse the Issuing Lender for the amount of the related drawing and costs and expenses. Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to fund a Revolving Credit Loan in accordance with this Section 3.5 to reimburse the Issuing Lender for any draft paid under a Letter of Credit is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including non-satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 2.3(a) or Article 7.
Additional Costs in Respect of Letters of Credit Without limiting the obligations of the Borrower under the preceding subsections of this Section (but without duplication), if as a result of any Regulatory Change or any risk-based capital guideline or other requirement heretofore or hereafter issued by any Governmental Authority there shall be imposed, modified or deemed applicable any Tax (other than Indemnified Taxes, Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of Excluded Taxes and Connection Income Taxes), reserve, special deposit, capital adequacy or similar requirement against or with respect to or measured by reference to Letters of Credit and the result shall be to increase the cost to the Issuing Bank of issuing (or any Lender of purchasing participations in) or maintaining its obligation hereunder to issue (or purchase participations in) any Letter of Credit or reduce any amount receivable by the Issuing Bank or any Lender hereunder in respect of any Letter of Credit, then, upon demand by the Issuing Bank or such Lender, the Borrower shall pay immediately to the Issuing Bank or, in the case of such Lender, to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender, from time to time as specified by the Issuing Bank or such Lender, such additional amounts as shall be sufficient to compensate the Issuing Bank or such Lender for such increased costs or reductions in amount.
Reimbursement Obligation of the Borrower The Borrower agrees to reimburse each Issuing Lender on each date on which such Issuing Lender notifies the Borrower of the date and amount of a draft presented under any Letter of Credit and paid by such Issuing Lender (but in any event no such reimbursement shall be required before the date on which Base Rate Loans would be made (or the procedure specified in Section 2.26 would become applicable) as described in the last two sentences of this Section) for the amount of (a) such draft so paid and (b) any taxes, fees, charges or other costs or expenses incurred by such Issuing Lender in connection with such payment (the amounts described in the foregoing clauses (a) and (b) in respect of any drawing, collectively, the “Payment Amount”). Each such payment shall be made to such Issuing Lender at its address for notices specified herein in lawful money of the United States of America and in immediately available funds. Interest shall be payable on each Payment Amount from the date of the applicable drawing until payment in full at the rate set forth in (i) until the second Business Day following the date of the applicable drawing, Section 2.13(b) and (ii) thereafter, Section 2.13(c). Each drawing under any Letter of Credit shall (unless an event of the type described in clause (i) or (ii) of Section 7(f) shall have occurred and be continuing with respect to the Borrower, in which case the procedures specified in Section 2.26 for funding by L/C Participants shall apply) constitute a request by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent for a borrowing pursuant to Section 2.5 of Base Rate Loans in the amount of such drawing. The Borrowing Date with respect to such borrowing shall be the first date on which a borrowing of Revolving Credit Loans could be made, pursuant to Section 2.5, if the Administrative Agent had received a notice of such borrowing at the time of such drawing under such Letter of Credit.
