ACADEMIC FREEDOM Academic freedom shall be guaranteed to all employees, and no special limitation shall be placed upon study, investigation, presentation and interpretation of facts and ideas concerning man, human society, the physical and biological world, and other branches of learning subject to accepted standards of professional responsibility, community standards, and District-approved curriculum. These responsibilities include a commitment to democratic tradition, a concern for the welfare, growth and development of children, and an insistence upon objective scholarship. Employees who create work on their own time, own the right to that work.
Right of Action All rights of action in respect to this Agreement are vested in the respective registered holders of the Warrant Certificates; and any registered holder of any Warrant Certificate, without the consent of the Warrant Agent or of any other holder of a Warrant Certificate, may, in his own behalf for his own benefit, enforce, and may institute and maintain any suit, action or proceeding against the Company suitable to enforce, or otherwise in respect of, his right to exercise the Warrants evidenced by such Warrant Certificate, for the purchase of shares of the Common Stock in the manner provided in the Warrant Certificate and in this Agreement.
Right of Use 2.1 Except as expressly otherwise agreed in this Contract, as between the parties all intellectual and industrial property rights in the Supplies, in all documents provided by Siemens in connection with this Contract (the “Documents”) and in all software, hardware, knowhow (“IPR”) and other things provided with or as part of the Supplies and the Documents shall be the exclusive property of and vest in Siemens. The Customer shall not reverse engineer, decompile, or reproduce the Supplies or parts thereof and shall ensure that third parties will not reverse engineer, decompile, or reproduce the Supplies or parts thereof in each case to the extent mandatory law does not prohibit such limitation.
2.2 The Customer may use the Documents unmodified and to the extent necessary for operation and routine maintenance of the Supplies by the Customer’s own personnel, unless explicitly agreed otherwise in writing by Siemens.
2.3 If the Supplies include Siemens software, such software is licenced under the license terms contained in the software documentation, the software itself or in the attached license terms (in each case the “applicable license conditions”), which shall prevail over this Clause 2. The software is issued in object code without source codes. The license hereunder only grants the non-exclusive right to use the software as described in the applicable license conditions or, if there are no applicable license terms, for the purpose of operation and routine maintenance of the Supplies.
2.4 The Supplies may include third party software. Insofar as specific license terms of the third party licensor apply, Siemens will provide such license terms together with the Supplies. The Customer shall comply with such third party license terms.
2.5 Insofar as the software contains Open Source Software (“OSS”), Siemens will provide the applicable OSS license terms together with the Supplies. The OSS license terms shall prevail over this Contract. Details regarding any third-party software and OSS contained in the Supplies are available in the software documentation (e.g. README_OSS).
2.6 The rights granted in Clause 2 shall be transferable to a third party only together with the transfer of ownership of all of the Supplies to that third party.
2.7 Without prejudice to the Customer’s intellectual property rights and subject to compliance with applicable law, Siemens and its Affiliates may for its own business purposes collect, use, modify, and copy any data received in connection with the Supplies. Any legal obligations regarding personal data shall remain unaffected.

In addition, the Interconnection Customer shall notify the NYISO and Connecting Transmission Owner at least five Business Days prior to conducting any on-site verification testing of the Small Generating Facility.
2.3.2 Following the initial inspection process described above, at reasonable hours, and upon reasonable notice, or at any time without notice in the event of an emergency or hazardous condition, the NYISO and Connecting Transmission Owner each shall have access to the Interconnection Customer’s premises for any reasonable purpose in connection with the performance of the obligations imposed on them by this Agreement or if necessary to meet their legal obligation to provide service to their customers.
2.3.3 Each Party shall be responsible for its own costs associated with following this article.
Right of appropriation (a) We shall be entitled in our reasonable discretion to apply and appropriate all payments received by us in such a manner or order of priority as we may deem fit, notwithstanding any specific appropriation of such sums by you or any person making such payment. Without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing, we may apply payments received by us in the following order of priority:

(i) the balances with the highest applicable interest rate will be repaid in priority to the other balances within such category; and
(ii) where the interest rate applicable to any unpaid balance transfer balances within such category is the same, payments received by us will reduce the balances transferred under the latest fund transfer program (after it has been reflected in your statement of account) first, notwithstanding that you may have unpaid balance transfer balances from earlier fund transfer programs.

(a) for which payment has actually been made to or on behalf of Indemnitee under any insurance policy or other indemnity provision, except with respect to any excess beyond the amount paid under any insurance policy or other indemnity provision; or
(b) for an accounting of profits made from the purchase and sale (or sale and purchase) by Indemnitee of securities of the Company within the meaning of Section 16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or similar provisions of state statutory law or common law; or

PERSONAL AND ACADEMIC FREEDOM A. The personal life of a teacher shall be the concern of and warrant the review and appropriate action of the Board only:

2. As it may be in violation of local, state, national, or common law.
B. Each teacher will be entitled to full rights of citizenship, and no religious or political activities of any such teacher or the lack thereof will be grounds for any discipline or discrimination with respect to the professional employment of such person provided they do not affect his/her classroom performance.
C. The Board and the Association agree that academic freedom is essential to the fulfillment of the purposes of the Xxxxxx County School System, and they acknowledge the fundamental need to protect teachers from any censorship or restraint which might interfere with their obligation to pursue the truth in the performance of their teaching functions.

D. No student’s grade shall be changed without a conference between the student’s teacher and the administrator. After the conference, the teacher will be notified, in writing, of the administrator’s decision. In the event the student’s teacher is not available for a conference, the administrator will notify the teacher in writing of any changes in a grade.
Right of Offset You hereby agree that the Company shall have the right to offset against its obligation to deliver shares of Class A Common Stock, cash or other property under this Agreement to the extent that it does not constitute “non-qualified deferred compensation” pursuant to Section 409A, any outstanding amounts of whatever nature that you then owe to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.
