(b) The unit member shall submit a completed Request form, including a completed Physician Statement, to the Human Resources Department who will promptly provide a copy to the Association.

(11) A committee consisting of two unit members selected by the SEA, three persons designated by the Board, and the Human Resources Director who shall act as the non- voting chairperson, shall be established to set up guidelines, review implementation, and update procedures.

The MRO shall be a licensed physician, appointed by agreement of both parties, for the duration of the Collective Bargaining Agreement, subject to reappointment by agreement of both parties. The medical documentation submitted shall detail the seriousness and nature of the illness or injury involved related to the ability of the employee to perform job responsibilities. The MRO shall confirm the seriousness and nature of the illness or injury related to job responsibilities utilizing said medical documentation;
(b) If the MRO is unable to confirm the seriousness and nature of the illness or injury related to the ability to perform job responsibilities from the medical documentation as provided above, said MRO may conduct or send the employee to have an Independent Medical Examination (IME).

Controlled Accumulation Period The Controlled Accumulation Period is scheduled to commence at the beginning of business on the Controlled Accumulation Date. On each Determination Date until the Controlled Accumulation Date, the Issuer shall review the amount of expected Principal Collections and determine the Controlled Accumulation Period Length; provided, that if the Controlled Accumulation Period Length (determined as described below) on any Determination Date is less than or more than the number of months in the scheduled Controlled Accumulation Period, upon written notice to the Indenture Trustee, with a copy to each Rating Agency, the Issuer shall either postpone or accelerate, as applicable, the Controlled Accumulation Date, so that as a result, the number of Monthly Periods in the Controlled Accumulation Period will equal the Controlled Accumulation Period Length; provided, that the length of the Controlled Accumulation Period will not be less than one (1) month. The “Controlled Accumulation Period Length” will mean a number of whole months such that the amount available for payment of principal on the Notes and the reduction of the Principal Overcollateralization Amount on the Expected Principal Payment Date is expected to equal or exceed the Note Principal Balance plus the Principal Overcollateralization Amount, assuming for this purpose that (1) the weighted average principal payment rate on the Receivables held by the Issuer will be no greater than the lowest weighted average monthly principal payment rate for the Receivables held by the Issuer for the prior twelve (12) Monthly Periods, (2) the total amount of Principal Receivables held by the Issuer in the Trust (and the principal amount on deposit in the Excess Funding Account, if any) remains constant at the level on such date of determination, (3) no Early Amortization Event with respect to any Series will subsequently occur and (4) no additional Series (other than any Series being issued on such date of determination) will be subsequently issued by the Issuer. Any notice by the Issuer modifying the commencement of the Controlled Accumulation Period pursuant to this Section 4.12 shall specify (i) the Controlled Accumulation Period Length and (ii) the commencement date of the Controlled Accumulation Period.
Bank Account Payments shall be made to the Contractor’s bank account denominated in euro, identified as follows: Name of bank: [complete] Address of branch in full: [complete] Exact designation of account holder: [complete] Full account number including codes: [complete] [IBAN code: [complete]]
Variable Accumulation Period The Controlled Accumulation Period is scheduled to commence on the Stated Controlled Accumulation Period Commencement Date; provided, however, that if the Controlled Accumulation Period Length (determined as described below) on any Determination Date is different from the Initial Scheduled Controlled Accumulation Period Length, the Servicer, at its option on any Determination Date prior to the commencement of the Controlled Accumulation Period, may elect to modify the date on which the Controlled Accumulation Period actually commences to the last Business Day of any Due Period that precedes the Due Period that is the number of Due Periods prior to the Expected Final Payment Date equal to the Controlled Accumulation Period Length. Such election will be set forth in the Monthly Servicer Certificate. If the Servicer elects to modify the date on which the Controlled Accumulation Period commences pursuant to this Section 19, then on each Determination Date thereafter until the date on which the Controlled Accumulation Period commences the Servicer will recalculate the Controlled Accumulation Period Length; provided, however, that (i) the length of the Controlled Accumulation Period will not be less than the Minimum Controlled Accumulation Period Length and (ii) notwithstanding any other provision of this Series Supplement to the contrary, no election to postpone the commencement of the Controlled Accumulation Period shall be made after a Rapid Amortization Event (as described herein or in the applicable Series Supplement) shall have occurred for so long as it is continuing with respect to any Series in the Group to which the Series established hereby belongs. On each Determination Date, the Servicer will determine the "Controlled Accumulation Period Length" that will equal the number of Due Periods such that the Class Controlled Accumulation Amount for the Due Period related to the Class Expected Final Payment Date, when aggregated with the Class Controlled Accumulation Amounts for each preceding Due Period, will equal or exceed the Series Initial Investor Interest. Any notice by the Servicer electing to modify the commencement of the Controlled Accumulation Period pursuant to this Section 19 shall specify the following as determined on such Determination Date: (i) the Controlled Accumulation Period Length; (ii) the commencement date of the Controlled Accumulation Period; and (iii) the Class Controlled Accumulation Amount with respect to each class of such Series with respect to each Due Period. If the Controlled Accumulation Period Length as recalculated on any such Determination Date exceeds the number of full Due Periods following such Determination Date and preceding the Class A Expected Final Payment Date, the commencement date of the Controlled Accumulation Period will be such Determination Date.

Targeted Deposits to the Accumulation Reserve Account The deposit targeted to be made to the Accumulation Reserve Subaccount for the Class A( - ) Notes for any Due Period during the Accumulation Reserve Funding Period will be an amount equal to the Targeted Accumulation Reserve Subaccount Deposit minus any amount on deposit in the Accumulation Reserve Subaccount for the Class A( - ) Notes.]
