Employment or Retention of Affiliates (a) Any Affiliate of the General Partner may be employed or retained by the Partnership and may otherwise deal with the Partnership (whether as a buyer, lessor, lessee, manager, furnisher of goods or services, broker, agent, lender or otherwise) and may receive from the Partnership any compensation, price, or other payment therefor which the General Partner determines to be fair and reasonable.
(b) The Partnership may lend or contribute to its Subsidiaries or other Persons in which it has an equity investment, and such Persons may borrow funds from the Partnership, on terms and conditions established in the sole and absolute discretion of the General Partner. The foregoing authority shall not create any right or benefit in favor of any Subsidiary or any other Person.
(c) The Partnership may transfer assets to joint ventures, other partnerships, corporations or other business entities in which it is or thereby becomes a participant upon such terms and subject to such conditions as the General Partner deems are consistent with this Agreement and applicable law.
(d) Except as expressly permitted by this Agreement, neither the General Partner nor any of its Affiliates shall sell, transfer or convey any property to, or purchase any property from, the Partnership, directly or indirectly, except pursuant to transactions that are on terms that are fair and reasonable to the Partnership.
Reinstatement after Leave An employee on an approved leave of absence is required to contact the Appointing Authority if an extension is being requested. Failure to contact the Appointing Authority about an extension prior to the end of the approved leave shall be deemed to be a voluntary resignation, and the employee shall be severed from State service. The Local Union and the Appointing Authority may agree to waive the five (5) month reassignment restriction in order to temporarily fill the position of an employee on unpaid Military Leave until s/he returns from active duty. Any employee returning from an approved leave of absence as covered by this Article shall be entitled to return to employment in his/her former position or another position in his/her former class/class option in his/her seniority unit, or a position of comparable duties and pay within his/her seniority unit. Employees returning from extended leaves of absence (one (1) month or more) shall notify their Appointing Authority at least two (2) weeks prior to their return from leave. Employees may return to work prior to the agreed upon termination date with the approval of the Appointing Authority. Employees returning from an unpaid leave of absence shall be returned at the same rate of pay the employee had been receiving at the time the leave of absence commenced plus any automatic adjustments that would have been made had the employee been continuously employed during the period of absence. (See also Article 12, Section 7A, regarding return from a leave of absence to a vacancy.)
Reinstatement of Employee An employee who wishes to resume employment on the expiration of leave granted in accordance with this Article shall be reinstated in the position occupied at the time such leave commenced.
No Right to Employment or Service Nothing in this Agreement shall interfere with or limit in any way the right of the Company, its subsidiaries or its Affiliates to terminate the Participant’s employment or service at any time, for any reason and with or without Cause, in accordance with and subject to the terms and conditions of the Employment Agreement.
Termination of Employment or Service (a) Subject to the provisions of this Section 5, if the Participant’s employment with or service to the Company Group terminates for any reason, the unvested RSUs shall terminate as of the effective date of termination (the “Termination Date”), and all of the Participant’s rights hereunder with respect to such unvested RSUs shall cease as of the Termination Date (unless otherwise provided for by the Committee in accordance with the Plan).
(b) If the Participant’s employment or service is terminated by the Service Recipient during the Performance Period due to or during the Participant’s Disability or due to the Participant’s death, a pro-rated number of the target number of RSUs granted hereunder shall become vested and nonforfeitable (irrespective of performance) based on the number of days in the Performance Period prior to the Termination Date relative to the number of the days in the full Performance Period. Any RSUs that vest as provided herein shall be settled in accordance with Section 4.
(c) In the event the Participant’s employment with or service to the Company Group is terminated as a result of the Participant’s Retirement, the RSUs granted hereunder shall remain outstanding and eligible to vest, notwithstanding such termination of employment or service, based on (and to the extent) the Committee’s determination that the Performance Conditions have been satisfied on the Determination Date, in accordance with the schedule set forth in the Award Notice, so long as no Restrictive Covenant Violation occurs (as determined by the Committee, or its designee, in its sole discretion) prior to the Determination Date. Any RSUs that vest as provided herein shall be settled in accordance with Section 4. As a pre-condition to the Participant’s right to continued vesting following Retirement, the Committee, or its designee, may require the Participant to certify in writing prior to the applicable vesting date that no Restrictive Covenant Violation has occurred. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Date of Grant of the RSUs is not at least six months prior to the date of the Participant’s Retirement, any unvested RSUs shall terminate as of the Termination Date.
(d) If the Participant’s employment with or service to the Company Group terminates for any reason after the last day of the Performance Period and before the Determination Date (other than a termination by the Company for Cause, or by the Participant while grounds for Cause exist or without Good Reason), and no Restrictive Covenant Violation occurs before the Determination Date, then all RSUs shall remain outstanding and eligible to vest based on (and to the extent) the Committee’s determination that the Performance Conditions have been satisfied on the Determination Date.
(e) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the RSUs granted hereunder shall become immediately fully vested as of the Termination Date and settled in accordance with Section 4 if the Participant’s employment with or service to the Company Group shall be terminated by the Company other than for Cause, or by the Participant for Good Reason, in either case if such termination of the Participant’s employment occurs within 12 months following a Change in Control (for the avoidance of doubt, a Change in Control alone shall not, also, result in any vesting hereunder), with the actual number of RSUs determined based on (i) actual performance through the Termination Date, as determined by the Committee, or (ii) if the Committee determines that measurement of actual performance cannot be reasonably assessed, the assumed achievement of target performance as determined by the Committee.
(f) For purposes of this Section 5, “Good Reason” means the occurrence of any of the following, without the Participant’s written consent:
Reinstatement of Employees If, prior to the constitution of an Arbitration Board pursuant to Article 11, it is found that an employee was disciplined or dismissed without just and reasonable cause, or laid-off contrary to the provisions of the Collective Agreement, that employee shall be reinstated by the Employer without loss of pay with all of her/his rights, benefits and privileges which she/he would have enjoyed if the layoff, discipline or discharge had not taken place, or upon such other basis as the parties may agree.
Death or Retirement Executive’s employment shall terminate automatically upon Executive’s death or Retirement during the Term. For purposes of this Agreement, “Retirement” shall mean normal retirement as defined in the Company’s then-current retirement plan, or if there is no such retirement plan, “Retirement” shall mean voluntary termination after age sixty-five (65) with at least ten (10) years of service.
Reinstatement of Vacation Days - Sick Leave In the event an employee is sick or injured prior to the commencement of his/her vacation, such employee shall be granted sick leave and the vacation period so displaced shall be added to the vacation period if requested by the employee and by mutual agreement, or shall be reinstated for use at a later date.
No Post-Employment Obligations No Company Employee Plan provides, or reflects or represents any liability to provide, retiree life insurance, retiree health or other retiree employee welfare benefits to any person for any reason, except as may be required by COBRA or other applicable statute, and the Company has never represented, promised or contracted (whether in oral or written form) to any Employee (either individually or to Employees as a group) or any other person that such Employee(s) or other person would be provided with retiree life insurance, retiree health or other retiree employee welfare benefit, except to the extent required by statute.
Retirement or Disability If you retire under the terms of any qualified pension plan provided by the Company or one of its subsidiaries, or if you are totally and permanently disabled, the Option may be exercised as to the total number of shares subject to the Option (without regard to the exercise schedule set forth in paragraph 4) at any time within one year after the date of retirement or disability retirement, but not after the Expiration Date.
