Staff Reduction 11.1 When a reduction within the District is needed, the affected employee(s) and the Association will be notified as to which position(s) will be eliminated or reduced at least fourteen (14) calendar days prior to the reduction. 11.2 When a reduction within the District is needed, the Board will determine which position(s) will be eliminated or reduced. An employee whose position will be eliminated or reduced shall have the right to displace an employee in his/her present job classification or another job classification in accordance with the following: a. The laid off or reduced employee has greater seniority than the employee to be displaced. b. The laid off or reduced employee had an equal or greater number of hours in his/her regular schedule than the employee to be displaced. c. The laid off or reduced employee presently has the necessary qualifications to perform the work. d. The laid off or reduced employee elects to exercise his/her displacement rights within five (5) working days of notification of his/her layoff or reduction. An employee displaced under this section is also entitled to displacement rights under this section. 11.3 When filling vacancies which occur after a reduction in staff, laid off bargaining unit members who have been released less than two (2) years, shall be recalled in the order of seniority, with the most senior member being recalled first to any position for which he/she is qualified. Effective July 1, 1991, newly hired bargaining unit members shall be subject to recall for two (2) years. If the employee fails to report to work within ten (10) working days from the receipt of the recall notice via certified or registered mail, that person shall be considered a voluntary terminated employee. However, if an employee is recalled to a position of lesser hours, he/she shall have the option to refuse the position and shall not be removed from the recall list as a result of this action. 11.4 An employee may elect to accept layoff rather than exercise his/her bumping rights. 11.5 For the purposes of this agreement, qualified shall be defined as capable of skillfully and efficiently performing the job duties as summarized in the job description in a competent manner with minimal instruction. The District reserves the right to test employees as needed. Qualified includes the following: a. Any licenses, certification and training necessary to perform the job, and b. demonstrated skills and merits. The most senior qualified employee shall be selected, excepting that a less senior candidate may be selected if he/she has greatly superior training and skills. The burden of proof of greatly superior training and skills shall be on the Board.
REDUCTION IN STAFF 15.1 Procedure According to provisions of Missouri Statute 168.124, the Board of Education may place on leave of absence as many teachers as necessary because of decrease in enrollment, school district reorganization, or financial conditions. Whenever the Board anticipates a reduction in teaching staff, the superintendent or his/her designee will notify the officials of the Association concerning the anticipated reduction in the teaching staff. A meeting between the Association officials and the superintendent or his/her designee will be scheduled for purposes of discussing the proposed reduction in staff within two weeks (2) following the above notification. Individual teachers will not be contacted prior to the above meeting. In placing teachers on leave, the Board shall be governed by the following provisions: a. Teachers placed on leave of absence as herein provided shall be considered to be on "unrequested leave of absence." b. Seniority for the purposes of this reduction shall be defined as continuous full-time, complete years of employment in the school district. Authorized leaves of absence shall not be considered interruptions in service. Seniority date shall be the date of Board approval of the teacher's initial contract with the district. A district-wide seniority list including all areas of certification for each teacher shall be established and kept current. (Definition of official hire date: The most recent uninterrupted continuous full-time employment as a teacher.) c. No permanent teacher shall be placed on unrequested leave of absence while probationary teachers are retained in positions for which a permanent teacher is certified. d. Permanent teachers shall be retained on the basis of merit and qualification. The following criteria will be used to determine merit and qualifications for the purpose of reduction in staff. 1. Educational placement on the salary schedule. 2. Areas of permanent certification. 3. Activities beyond the teaching contract. 4. Related teaching experience. 5. Effectiveness in the field or at the grade level. If one or more teachers are determined to have equal merit and qualifications, those teachers shall be ranked in order of seniority as defined in b., with the more senior teacher to be considered more meritorious and qualified.
REDUCTION OF STAFF A. In the event that the Board decides to reduce the number of employees through layoff of employment, or to reduce the number of teachers in a given subject area, field or program, or eliminate or consolidate a position or positions, the Board shall lay off last those teachers with a Michigan Teaching Certificate or appropriate credential having longest service in the District and who are qualified to teach the positions remaining. 1. The phrases "longest service in the District" or "number of years in the system" shall be computed from the last day of hire and shall not be interrupted by leaves of absence approved by the Board or transfer to administrative positions, subject, however, to Paragraph H(4). 2. Qualified teachers are those teachers who meet the minimum requirements under ESEA/NCLB and the Michigan Department of Education. 3. In cases where teachers are equally qualified and have the same number of years in the system, the Board shall have the right to determine who is laid off, provided, however, such action shall not be contrary to the priorities established under the Teachers' Tenure Act or its successor law. 4. The Board shall give twenty-one (21) or more calendar days' notice of such layoff to the Association and to the employees involved. B. A teacher laid off pursuant to this Article shall not be entitled to pay for fringe benefits while on layoff, it being understood that layoff will terminate individual contracts. A teacher that has taught the full school year and is laid off at the end of the year will continue to be covered by health, vision, and dental insurance for the months of June, July and August as per Article 15(E). C. The Board shall have no obligation to recall any nontenure teacher laid off pursuant to this Article or to recall any tenured teacher who has been laid off for three (3) or more years. D. Tenure teachers shall be recalled in the opposite manner as described in Paragraph A for layoff. E. The Board shall give written notice of recall from layoff by sending a registered or certified letter to said teacher at his/her last known address. It shall be the responsibility of the teacher to notify the Board of any change in address. The teacher's address, as it appears in the Board's records, shall be conclusive when used in connection with layoffs, recall, or any other notice to the teacher. If a teacher fails to provide notice of intent to return within five (5) days from the date of receipt of the written recall document, said teacher shall be considered a voluntary quit or resignation. If a teacher fails to report for work within five (5) days of receipt of notification to report to work, unless an extension is granted in writing by the Board, said teacher shall be considered a voluntary quit and shall thereby completely terminate the individual employment contract and any other employment relationship with the Board. F. In the event of a necessary reduction in staff, the Board agrees to grant requests for voluntary leaves of absence provided that the teaching position(s) or the leave applicant(s) can be filled by another bargaining unit member. Such leave of absence shall not exceed one (1) school year. G. The Board shall publish a seniority list and distribute it to all teachers by October 15 of each year. 1. Teachers shall be listed in order, starting with the teacher with the longest service in the bargaining unit. 2. The seniority list shall also list the teacher's longevity credit and certification with majors/minors. H. Seniority shall accrue from the first day of work as a bargaining unit member. 1. A part-time teacher shall accrue seniority on a prorated basis. 2. A teacher in a job-share position, under the terms of Article 18, shall accrue seniority as if employed full time. 3. A teacher on an approved unpaid leave of absence under terms of this Agreement shall not accrue seniority while on leave, except as provided in this Agreement. 4. Administrators shall not accrue seniority while in administrative positions. If a teacher becomes an administrator and later returns to the bargaining unit, he/she shall be reinstated with the seniority he/she had at the time he/she left the bargaining unit. I. Seniority shall be lost upon severance of the employment relationship between the teacher and the District.
PERSONNEL REDUCTION 1. When the District deems a reduction in force is necessary, it shall provide notification to the Union no later than notification is provided to the affected employees. Meetings with the Union for discussion of the effects of the proposed reduction will be scheduled upon request. Reductions shall be accomplished in accordance with the following provisions: A. Requests shall be made for volunteers in the affected classifications within the division. Management reserves the right to reject volunteers based on business needs. B. Any employee subject to layoff can accept and/or request a voluntary demotion to a lower classification that they are qualified to fill providing a position vacancy exists. C. Temporary positions within the affected classification, within the division, shall first be eliminated. D. Probationary employees in the affected classification, within the division, shall be subject to layoff before layoff of regular full-time employees. E. Part time employees in the affected classification, within the division, shall be subject to layoff before regular full-time employees. 2. The determination regarding a layoff of regular full-time employees shall be based on the following criteria applied to the affected division(s): A. Seniority within the classification. B. In the event two (2) or more employees have the same classification seniority, District seniority will be used. C. In the event two or more employees have the same seniority, in the classification and within the district, active discipline history will be considered. In the event no discipline is documented, the last four digits of the social security number will be used retaining the employee with the highest number. D. An employee subject to layoff can move back to the most recently held vacant position within the classification series within the division. If the position is held by another employee, the person with the most classification series seniority retains the position. E. An employee subject to layoff can move back to the most recently held vacant position. If the position is held by another employee, the person with the most District seniority retains the position. F. An employee subject to layoff that moves into a lower paid position will receive a minimum 5% reduction in pay, not to exceed the top of the lower position pay scale. 3. Employees laid off under this collective bargaining agreement shall receive at least six (6) weeks' notice, payment in lieu of notice, or any combination of notice and payment. A copy of this notice will be provided to the Union. 4. Reduction in Force Appeal Committee A. Concurrent with the announcement of a reduction in force, an appeals committee will be formed. The Union and the District will each select two (2) representatives who in turn will select a fifth member who shall serve as the chairperson of the committee. B. Employees subject to reduction in force may, within five (5) working days of receipt of notice, request an appeal in writing to the Union and/or HR Director to review the facts related to their individual concerns related to the process. C. Within ten (10) working days of receipt of the appeal, the committee shall review, investigate, and receive statements from the appealing employee, the division director, and/or any other relevant persons as determined by the committee. The committee will serve as an advisory committee to the Chief Health Officer and recommend action as they may agree upon. The committee shall submit a statement of findings to the Chief Health Officer within ten (10) working days of the review. The committee shall also state a recommended action upon a majority vote of the committee members. D. The Chief Health Officer shall review the committee's report and issue a decision that either accepts or rejects the recommendation or, at his/her discretion, directs the implementation of some other action. The decision of the Chief Health Officer is final and binding.
WORKFORCE REDUCTION SECTION 1 Layoffs (A) When employees are to be laid off as defined in the F.S., the state shall implement such layoff in the following manner: (1) The competitive area for the bargaining unit shall be statewide unless the Department and PBA agree otherwise. (2) Layoff shall be by class or occupational level within the Security Services Bargaining Unit. (3) An employee who has not attained permanent status in his current position may be laid off without applying the provision for retention rights. (4) No employee with permanent status in his current position shall be laid off while an employee who does not hold permanent status in his current position is serving in that class or level unless the permanent employee does not elect to exercise his retention rights or does not meet the selective competition criteria. (5) All employees who have permanent status in their current positions shall be ranked on a layoff list for the affected class or level based on the total retention points derived as follows: (a) Length of service retention points shall be based on one point for each month of continuous service in a Career Service position. 1. An employee who resigns from one Career Service position to accept employment in another Career Service position is not considered to have a break in service. 2. An employee who has been laid off and is reemployed within one year from the date of the layoff shall not be considered to have a break in service. 3. Moving from Career Service to Selected Exempt Service or Senior Management Service and back to Career Service does not constitute a break in service unless the employee’s break in service is more than 31 calendar days. Only time spent in the Career Service is counted in calculating retention points. (b) Retention points deducted for performance not meeting performance standards or work expectations defined for the position shall be based on the five years immediately prior to the agency’s established cutoff date. Five points shall be deducted for each month an employee has a rating below performance expectations. (6) The layoff list shall be prepared by totaling retention points. Employees eligible for veterans’ preference pursuant to section 295.07(1)(a) or (b), F.S., shall have 15 percent added to their total retention points, those eligible pursuant to section 295.07(1)(c), (d), or (e), F.S., shall have 10 percent added to their total retention points, and those eligible pursuant to section 295.071(1)(f), or (g), F.S., shall have five percent added to their total retention points. (7) The employee with the highest total retention points is placed at the top of the list, and the employee with the lowest retention points is placed at the bottom of the list. (8) The employee at the top of the list shall bump the employee at the bottom of the list. The next highest employee on the list and the remaining employees shall be handled in the same manner until the total number of filled positions in the class to be abolished is complete. (9) Should two or more employees have the same combined total of retention points, the order of layoff shall be determined by giving preference for retention in the following sequence: (a) The employee with the longest service in the affected class. (b) The employee with the longest continuous service in the Career Service. (c) The employee who is entitled to veterans’ preference pursuant to section 295.07(1), F.S. (10) An employee who has permanent status in his current position and is to be laid off shall be given at least 14 calendar days’ notice of such layoff or two weeks’ pay, or a combination of days of notice and pay. Any payment will be made at the employee’s current hourly base rate of pay. The notice of layoff shall be in writing and sent to the employee by certified mail, return receipt requested. Within seven calendar days after receiving the notice of layoff, the employee shall have the right to request, in writing, a lateral action, reassignment, or demotion within the competitive area in lieu of layoff to a position in a class within the bargaining unit in which the employee held permanent status, or to a position in a class at the level of or below the class in the bargaining unit in which the employee held permanent status. (11) An employee’s request for lateral action, reassignment, or demotion shall be granted unless it would cause the layoff of another employee who possesses a greater total of retention points. (12) An employee adversely affected as a result of another employee having a greater number of retention points shall have the same right of lateral action, reassignment or demotion under the same procedure as provided in this section. (13) If an employee requests a lateral action, reassignment, or demotion in lieu of layoff, the same formula and criteria for establishing retention points for that class shall be used as prescribed in this section. (B) If there is to be a layoff of employees, the state shall take all reasonable steps to place any adversely affected employees in existing vacancies for which they are qualified. (C) If work performed by employees in this unit is to be performed by non-state employees, the state agrees to encourage the employing entity to consider any adversely affected unit employees for employment in its organization if the state has been unable to place the employees in other positions within the State Personnel System.
Optional Reductions The Borrower may, upon notice to the Administrative Agent, terminate the Aggregate Revolving Commitments, or from time to time permanently reduce the Aggregate Revolving Commitments to an amount not less than the Outstanding Revolving Amount of Revolving Loans, Swing Line Loans and L/C Obligations; provided that (i) any such notice shall be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 1:00 p.m., five (5) Business Days prior to the date of termination or reduction, (ii) any such partial reduction shall be in an aggregate amount of $2,000,000 or any whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof and (iii) the Borrower shall not terminate or reduce (A) the Aggregate Revolving Commitments if, after giving effect thereto and to any concurrent prepayments hereunder, the Total Revolving Outstandings would exceed the Aggregate Revolving Commitments, (B) the Letter of Credit Sublimit if, after giving effect thereto, the Outstanding Revolving Amount of L/C Obligations not fully Cash Collateralized hereunder would exceed the Letter of Credit Sublimit, or (C) the Swing Line Sublimit if, after giving effect thereto and to any concurrent prepayments hereunder, the Outstanding Revolving Amount of Swing Line Loans would exceed the Swing Line Sublimit.
Order of Reduction The Total Payments shall be reduced in the following order: (i) reduction on a pro-rata basis of any cash severance payments that are exempt from Section 409A of the Code, (ii) reduction on a pro-rata basis of any non-cash severance payments or benefits that are exempt from Section 409A, (iii) reduction on a pro-rata basis of any other payments or benefits that are exempt from Section 409A, and (iv) reduction of any payments or benefits otherwise payable to Executive on a pro-rata basis or such other manner that complies with Section 409A; provided, in case of clauses (ii), (iii) and (iv), that reduction of any payments attributable to the acceleration of vesting of Company equity awards shall be first applied to Company equity awards that would otherwise vest last in time.
Increased Costs and Reduction of Return (a) If any Lender determines that, due to either (i) the introduction of or any change in or in the interpretation of any law or regulation or (ii) the compliance by that Lender with any guideline or request from any central bank or other Governmental Authority (whether or not having the force of law), there shall be any increase in the cost to such Lender of agreeing to make or making, funding or maintaining any Offshore Rate Loan or participating in Letters of Credit, or, in the case of the Issuing Lender, any increase in the cost to the Issuing Lender of agreeing to issue, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit or of agreeing to make or making, funding or maintaining any unpaid drawing under any Letter of Credit, then the Company shall be liable for, and shall from time to time, upon demand (with a copy of such demand to be sent to the Administrative Agent), pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender, additional amounts as are sufficient to compensate such Lender for such increased costs. (b) If any Lender shall have determined that (i) the introduction of any Capital Adequacy Regulation, (ii) any change in any Capital Adequacy Regulation, (iii) any change in the interpretation or administration of any Capital Adequacy Regulation by any central bank or other Governmental Authority charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or (iv) compliance by the Lender (or its Lending Office) or any corporation controlling the Lender with any Capital Adequacy Regulation, affects or would affect the amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by the Lender or any corporation controlling the Lender and (taking into consideration such Lender's or such corporation's policies with respect to capital adequacy and such Lender's desired return on capital) that the amount of such capital is increased as a consequence of its Commitments, loans, credits or obligations under this Agreement, then, upon demand of such Lender to the Company through the Administrative Agent, the Company shall pay to the Lender, from time to time as specified by the Lender, additional amounts sufficient to compensate the Lender (or such corporation) for such increase.
Automatic Reduction Promptly following each date on which the Required Amount is reduced as a result of a reduction in the Pool Balance of the Class B Certificates or otherwise, the Maximum Commitment shall automatically be reduced to an amount equal to such reduced Required Amount (as calculated by the Borrower). The Borrower shall give notice of any such automatic reduction of the Maximum Commitment to the Liquidity Provider within two Business Days thereof. The failure by the Borrower to furnish any such notice shall not affect such automatic reduction of the Maximum Commitment.
Appraisal Reductions (a) The Special Servicer shall: (i) upon the occurrence of an Appraisal Reduction Event, promptly notify the Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator and, during any CCR Control Period and any CCR Consultation Period, the Controlling Class Representative of such occurrence of an Appraisal Reduction Event; (ii) within 30 days after the occurrence of such Appraisal Reduction Event, order, and use efforts consistent with Accepted Servicing Practices, to obtain an independent Appraisal of the Property unless an Appraisal was performed within 9 months prior to the Appraisal Reduction Event and the Special Servicer is not aware of any material change in the market or condition or value of the Property since the date of such Appraisal (in which case, such Appraisal may be used by the Special Servicer); and (iii) determine (no later than the first Distribution Date on or following either (x) the receipt of such Appraisal (in final form) (provided, that if such new Appraisal was received less than five (5) Business Days prior to such Distribution Date, it will determine no later than the second Distribution Date following the receipt of such Appraisal) or (y) the determination to use any existing Appraisals, as applicable) on the basis of the applicable Appraisals, and receipt of information reasonably requested by the Special Servicer from the Servicer in the Servicer’s possession and reasonably necessary to calculate the Appraisal Reduction Amount, whether there exists any Appraisal Reduction Amount and, if an Appraisal Reduction Amount exists, give notice thereof to the Servicer, the Trustee, the Companion Loan Holders (or, in the case of a Companion Loan that is part of an Other Securitization Trust, the master servicer, special servicer and trustee with respect to such Other Securitization Trust) and the Certificate Administrator. The cost of obtaining any such Appraisal (or updated Appraisal) shall be paid by the Servicer as a Property Protection Advance or an Administrative Advance unless it would constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance and, in such case, as an expense of the Trust. Updates of such Appraisals shall be obtained by the Special Servicer every nine (9) months for so long as an Appraisal Reduction Event exists and shall be paid for by the Servicer as a Property Protection Advance or an Administrative Advance (or paid for by the Trust if the Servicer or the Special Servicer determines that such Advance would constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance), and any Appraisal Reduction Amount shall be adjusted accordingly and, if required in accordance with any such adjustment, each Class of Principal Balance Certificates and the Uncertificated VRR Interest with a Certificate Balance or Uncertificated VRR Interest Balance, as applicable, that has been notionally reduced as a result of such Appraisal Reduction Amount shall have its related Certificate Balance or Combined VRR Interest Balance, as applicable, notionally restored (or reduced if applicable) to the extent required by such adjustment of the Appraisal Reduction Amount, and there shall be a redetermination of whether a CCR Control Period, a CCR Consultation Period or a CCR Consultation Termination Period is then in effect. The Servicer shall provide by electronic means reasonably acceptable to the Special Servicer and the Servicer the information in its possession or control as reasonably requested in writing by the Special Servicer within two (2) Business Days of any request to permit the Special Servicer to calculate or to recalculate the Appraisal Reduction Amount. The Mortgage Loan will be treated as a single loan for purposes of calculating the Appraisal Reduction Amount. Appraisal Reduction Amounts with respect to the Mortgage Loan shall be allocated first to the Junior Trust Notes on a pro rata and pari passu basis (in accordance with the relative principal balance of such Junior Trust Notes) up to the aggregate principal balance of the Junior Trust Notes, with any remainder being allocated to the Senior Notes on a pro rata and pari passu basis (in accordance with the relative principal balance of such Senior Notes). Any such Appraisal obtained under this Section 3.7 shall be delivered by the Special Servicer to the Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the 17g-5 Information Provider, any applicable Consenting Party and Consulting Party in electronic format and the Certificate Administrator shall make such Appraisal available to Non-Restricted Privileged Persons pursuant to Section 8.14(b), and the 17g-5 Information Provider shall post such Appraisal on the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website. (b) While an Appraisal Reduction Amount exists with respect to the Trust Loan, (i) the amount of any Monthly Interest Payment Advances shall be reduced as provided in Section 3.23(a) and (ii) the existence thereof shall be taken into account for purposes of determining (x) the Voting Rights of certain Classes of Certificates as provided in Section 3.7(c) and (y) whether a CCR Control Period is or is not then in effect as provided in the definition thereof. (c) The Certificate Balance of each Class of the Principal Balance Certificates (other than the Class A Certificates) shall be notionally reduced (solely for purposes of determining (x) to the extent expressly set forth herein, the Voting Rights of the related Classes and (y) whether a CCR Control Period is or is not then in effect) on any Distribution Date to the extent of any Appraisal Reduction Amount allocated to such Class on such Distribution Date. On each Distribution Date, the VRR Percentage of any Appraisal Reduction Amount shall be applied to notionally reduce (to not less than zero) the Combined VRR Interest Balance of the Combined VRR Interest, which amount shall, in turn, be applied to notionally reduce (to not less than zero) the Certificate Balance of the Class VRR Certificates and the Uncertificated VRR Interest Balance of the Uncertificated VRR Interest, pro rata, based on the respective then-outstanding amounts of such Certificate Balance and Uncertificated VRR Interest Balance. On each Distribution Date, the Non-Retained Percentage of any Appraisal Reduction Amount shall be applied to notionally reduce the Certificate Balances of the Class B Certificates; provided that the Certificate Balance in respect of such Class may not be notionally reduced below zero. Appraisal Reduction Amounts shall not be applied to notionally reduce the Certificate Balance of the Class A Certificates. (d) With respect to any Appraisal used for purposes of determining an Appraisal Reduction Amount, the appraised value of the Property or Foreclosed Property, as applicable, will be determined on an “as is” basis. (e) If (i) an Appraisal Reduction Event has occurred, (ii) either (A) no Appraisal or updates of an Appraisal have been obtained or conducted with respect to the Property or Foreclosed Property, as the case may be, during the 12-month period prior to the date of such Appraisal Reduction Event or (B) a material change in the circumstances surrounding the Property or Foreclosed Property, as the case may be, has occurred since the date of the most recent Appraisal that would materially adversely affect the value of the Property or Foreclosed Property, as the case may be, and (iii) no new Appraisal has been obtained or conducted for each such Property or Foreclosed Property, as the case may be, referred to in the immediately preceding clause (ii) within 60 days after the Appraisal Reduction Event has occurred, then (x) until a new Appraisal is obtained for the Property or Foreclosed Property, as the case may be, the appraised value of the Property or Foreclosed Property, as the case may be, for purposes of determining the Appraisal Reduction Amount shall be deemed to equal 75% of the unpaid principal balance of the Mortgage Loan (the “Assumed Appraised Value”) , and (y) upon receipt or performance of the new Appraisal by the Special Servicer with respect to the Property or Foreclosed Property, as the case may be, the Appraisal Reduction Amount shall be recalculated in accordance with the definition of “Appraisal Reduction Amount” taking such Appraisal into account. (f) The Special Servicer shall consult with the Controlling Class Representative (if it is a Consenting Party) in respect of the determination of any Appraisal Reduction Amount. The determination by the Special Servicer following such consultation will be binding until such time as a new determination is made based on a new Appraisal obtained as a result of the exercise of the rights of the Controlling Class Representative discussed below or otherwise in accordance with this Agreement. The Class B Certificates, if and when the Certificate Balance thereof is reduced to less than 25% of its initial Certificate Balance (taking into account the application of any Appraisal Reduction Amount to notionally reduce the Certificate Balance of such Class) and provided that a CCR Consultation Termination Event does not exist, is referred to as an “Appraisal-Reduced Class”. The holders of the majority (by Certificate Balance) of an Appraisal-Reduced Class (such holders, the “Requesting Holders”) shall have the right, at their sole expense, to require the Special Servicer to order a second Appraisal in respect of the Property in connection with the related Appraisal Reduction Event that has occurred with respect to the Mortgage Loan, and in connection therewith the Special Servicer shall use reasonable efforts to cause each such second Appraisal to be delivered within 60 days from receipt of the Requesting Holders’ written request and shall cause such second Appraisal to be prepared by an Independent Appraiser. Upon receipt of each such second Appraisal, the Special Servicer shall be required to recalculate such Appraisal Reduction Amount based upon such second Appraisal(s). If required by any such recalculation, a CCR Control Period may be reinstated. (g) In addition, if subsequent to the Class B Certificates becoming an Appraisal-Reduced Class there is a material change with respect to the Property, the Requesting Holders of such Class will have the right to request, in writing, that the Special Servicer obtain an additional Appraisal, which request shall set forth their belief of what constitutes a material change to such Property (including any related documentation). For the avoidance of doubt, only one such additional Appraisal of any particular Property, and only 4 such additional Appraisals of the Property, may be requested by the holders of an Appraisal-Reduced Class within the same two-year period. The costs of obtaining such additional Appraisal shall be paid by the Requesting Holders. Subject to the Special Servicer’s confirmation, determined in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices, that there has been a change with respect to the Property designated by the Requesting Holders for an additional Appraisal and such change was material, the Special Servicer shall order another Appraisal from an Independent Appraiser, the identity of which shall be determined by the Special Servicer in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices (provided that such Independent Appraiser may not be the same Independent Appraiser that provided the Appraisal in respect of which the Requesting Holders are requesting the Special Servicer to obtain an additional Appraisal), and the Special Servicer shall recalculate the Appraisal Reduction Amount based upon such additional Appraisal. If required by any such recalculation, a CCR Control Period shall be reinstated. In each case, Appraisals that are requested by any Appraisal-Reduced Class shall be in addition to any Appraisals that the Special Servicer may otherwise be required to obtain in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices upon the occurrence of a material change at the Property or that the Special Servicer is otherwise required or permitted to order under this Agreement without regard to any Appraisal requests made by any other party. Absent manifest error in the appraised value contained in an Appraisal (including a failure to reflect material adverse changes in circumstances affecting property valuations occurring since the date of such Appraisal), the Special Servicer shall not be permitted to adjust downward the appraised value of the Property contained in any Appraisal (provided such Appraisal satisfies customary standards for qualified appraisals in CMBS transactions) delivered to the Special Servicer (including any Appraisal obtained at the request of the Requesting Holders of an Appraisal-Reduced Class) in making an Appraisal Reduction Amount calculation, to the extent that such downward adjustment would cause the Class B Certificates to become an Appraisal-Reduced Class (h) Upon becoming an Appraisal-Reduced Class and thereafter (including during any period that the Appraisal-Reduced Class is challenging the determination of the Appraisal Reduction Amount with a second Appraisal or otherwise presenting a new Appraisal as described above), the Holders of the Class B Certificates shall not exercise any rights of the Controlling Class solely applicable during a CCR Control Period, and the Controlling Class Representative shall not be a Consenting Party, until such time, if any, as such CCR Control Period is reinstated.
