Step-In Rights 11.1 Without prejudice to the provisions of Schedule 4 (Performance Management) or to any remedy that the Authority may have (whether under this Agreement or otherwise):
11.1.1 where the Authority reasonably believes that the Operator’s failure to provide any part of the Services to the relevant Service Level or otherwise in accordance with this Agreement has an adverse, material impact on the business of the Authority or on the running of the Scheme;
11.1.2 where the Authority reasonably believes that the Operator is about to commit such a failure which, if committed, would have such an impact;
11.1.3 where the Authority considers it necessary in order to carry out any of its statutory obligations, functions or other duties;
11.1.4 on the occurrence of a Force Majeure Event; or
11.1.5 on the occurrence of an Insolvency Event in respect of the Operator, the Authority may, by giving such written notice to the Operator as the Authority considers reasonable in the circumstances, exercise its right under Clause 11.2.
11.2 In the circumstances set out in Clause 11.1 the Authority may make arrangements for the Authority to provide and perform itself or through another contractor, such part of the Services as it decides in its discretion. Where any failure on the Operator's part is, in the reasonable opinion of the Authority, due to the failure of the Operator's management or supervisory staff to perform their work adequately or at all, or is due to the absence or insufficiency of such staff, the Authority may cause the relevant Services to be managed and supervised by the Authority's own staff, or the staff of another contractor and the Operator shall be relieved of its obligations hereunder insofar as they relate directly to the Services removed from its control and only during the period the Services are removed from its control.
11.3 Where the Authority exercises its right pursuant to Clause 11.2, the Operator shall:-
11.3.1 provide the Authority and Authority Personnel such access as is necessary for the Authority to exercise its right;
11.3.2 grant and procure that any Sub-Contractor or relevant third party grants the Authority such licences as are reasonably required (for itself or a contractor appointed to perform the step-in services) for the purposes of the Authority exercising its right;
11.3.3 afford (and procure that its Sub-Contractors afford) to the Authority (and any contractor appointed to perform the step-in services) such co-operation and access to any of the Operator's Intellectual Property, the Third Party Intellectual Property, Operator systems, premises, equipment, documents, information or other items as are reasonably required for the purposes of exercising its right; and
11.3.4 reimburse the Authority for any Losses incurred in taking the actions described in Clause 11.2.

A written decision shall be given to the employee or the appropriate Employee Organization representative within ten (10) working days following the meeting.
21.5.3 If the decision of the Municipal Employee Relations Officer or designee is unsatisfactory, the appropriate Employee Organization representative may appeal the grievance to Step IV - Arbitration.
No Creation of a Partnership or Exclusive Purchase Right Nothing contained in this Agreement, and no action taken pursuant hereto shall be deemed to constitute the relationship created hereby between the Note Holders as a partnership, association, joint venture or other entity.

STEP II If the grievance is not resolved at Step I, the Association may refer the grievance to the superintendent or the superintendent's official designee within fifteen (15) days after receipt of the Step I answer. The superintendent shall arrange with the Association representative for a meeting to take place within fifteen (15) days of the superintendent's receipt of the appeal. Within ten (10) days of the meeting, the Association shall be provided with the superintendent's written response, including the reasons for the decision.
Tax-Free Reorganization Treatment The Company and Parent shall not, and shall not permit any of their respective Subsidiaries to, intentionally take or cause to be taken any action not otherwise consistent with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement which could reasonably be expected to prevent the Merger from qualifying as a "reorganization" within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code.
Dilutive Rights Offering In case the Company shall fix a record date for the issuance of rights, options or warrants to all holders of Series A Preferred entitling them (for a period expiring within forty-five (45) calendar days after such record date) to subscribe for or purchase Series A Preferred (or securities having the same rights, privileges and preferences as the Series A Preferred (“equivalent preferred stock”)) or securities convertible into Series A Preferred or equivalent preferred stock at a price per share of Series A Preferred or per share of equivalent preferred stock (or having a conversion or exercise price per share, if a security convertible into or exercisable for Series A Preferred or equivalent preferred stock) less than the then current per share market price of the Series A Preferred (as determined pursuant to Section 11.4) on such record date, the Purchase Price to be in effect after such record date shall be determined by multiplying the Purchase Price in effect immediately prior to such record date by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Series A Preferred and shares of equivalent preferred stock outstanding on such record date plus the number of shares of Series A Preferred and shares of equivalent preferred stock which the aggregate offering price of the total number of shares of Series A Preferred and/or shares of equivalent preferred stock to be offered (and/or the aggregate initial conversion price of the convertible securities so to be offered) would purchase at such current per share market price and the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Series A Preferred and shares of equivalent preferred stock outstanding on such record date plus the number of additional Series A Preferred and/or shares of equivalent preferred stock to be offered for subscription or purchase (or into which the convertible securities so to be offered are initially convertible); provided, however, that in no event shall the consideration to be paid upon the exercise of one Right be less than the aggregate par value of the shares of capital stock of the Company issuable upon exercise of one Right. In case such subscription price may be paid in a consideration part or all of which shall be in a form other than cash, the value of such consideration shall be as determined in good faith by the Board, whose determination shall be described in a statement filed with the Rights Agent and shall be binding on the Rights Agent and the holders of the Rights. Series A Preferred and shares of equivalent preferred stock owned by or held for the account of the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company shall not be deemed outstanding for the purpose of any such computation. Such adjustments shall be made successively whenever such a record date is fixed; and in the event that such rights or warrants are not so issued, the Purchase Price shall be adjusted to be the Purchase Price which would then be in effect if such record date had not been fixed.
Rights of Assignees of Partnership Interests (a) Subject to the provisions of Sections 9.1 and 9.2 hereof, except as required by operation of law, the Partnership shall not be obligated for any purposes whatsoever to recognize the assignment by any Limited Partner of its Partnership Interest until the Partnership has received notice thereof.
(b) Any Person who is the assignee of all or any portion of a Limited Partner’s Limited Partnership Interest, but does not become a Substitute Limited Partner and desires to make a further assignment of such Limited Partnership Interest, shall be subject to all the provisions of this Article 9 to the same extent and in the same manner as any Limited Partner desiring to make an assignment of its Limited Partnership Interest.

Right to Acquire Limited Partner Interests (a) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if at any time the General Partner and its Affiliates hold more than 80% of the total Limited Partner Interests of any class then Outstanding, the General Partner shall then have the right, which right it may assign and transfer in whole or in part to the Partnership or any Affiliate of the General Partner, exercisable at its option, to purchase all, but not less than all, of such Limited Partner Interests of such class then Outstanding held by Persons other than the General Partner and its Affiliates, at the greater of (x) the Current Market Price as of the date three days prior to the date that the notice described in Section 15.1(b) is mailed and (y) the highest price paid by the General Partner or any of its Affiliates for any such Limited Partner Interest of such class purchased during the 90-day period preceding the date that the notice described in Section 15.1(b) is mailed.
