Tuition Waiver Subd. 1. ASF Members shall be entitled to enrollment, on a space available basis, in courses at any Minnesota State state university without payment of tuition or fees, except laboratory fees and special course fees. Such enrollment shall not exceed twenty-seven (27) semester credit hours per fiscal year. For purposes of this section, a year begins the first day of fall semester and concludes the day before the beginning of the succeeding fall semester.
Tuition Reimbursement A. The Employer will reimburse a full-time employee for the cost of tuition in accordance with Regulation 10.12.060 and for the cost of books as long as the subject matter of the specific course or course of study is job-related and the tuition costs do not exceed those found at a state university. The employee must receive approval from the Chief prior to taking the course. Tuition reimbursement shall be approved for all job-related undergraduate and graduate work. A request for tuition shall not be unreasonably denied. B. If an employee receives a scholarship, the total amount of the reimbursement from the Employer, combined with the scholarship, shall not exceed one hundred percent (100%) of the cost of tuition and books. C. A satisfactory grade of C or higher or equivalent is required for reimbursement, and a copy of the course transcript showing satisfactory completion, along with a copy of the approved reimbursement application, a copy of the registration or receipt showing the amount paid, and a taxability of tuition reimbursement Interoffice Communication shall be submitted with the reimbursement request within sixty (60) calendar days of receiving final grades. D. In the event the Employer directs an employee to attend any formal training course, the costs of all books and incidental fees will be paid by the Employer. “Life experience” credits will be reimbursed on a per-credit basis, not to exceed the University of Washington tuition rates. E. Once a request for tuition reimbursement has been approved, the Employer will reimburse the cost of tuition as provided above. Approved tuition reimbursements shall be paid to the employee within sixty (60) calendar days of timely submission to the Employer. An employee shall not receive federal or state educational reimbursement funds that exceed the total tuition for any course. F. If an employee receiving tuition reimbursement misses two (2) consecutive terms of school, the Employer shall send a letter requesting the employee notify the Employer of whether the employee intends to continue to attend school. If the employee does not attend school during the following two (2) terms then the employee must reapply for tuition reimbursement when attendance resumes. G. When an employee completes an educational program, the employee shall notify the Employer so the Employer can remove the employee’s name from the tuition reimbursement list. If the employee pursues an additional degree then the employee must reapply for tuition reimbursement. H. No more than twenty-five percent (25%) of the bargaining unit members shall receive tuition reimbursement at any given time. If at any time the maximum twenty-five percent (25%) limit is reached, then all subsequent requests for tuition reimbursement shall be placed on a waiting list in order of the date of application.
Royalty Reductions (a) In the event that, during the Royalty Term for a Licensed Product and a country, (i) at the time of the First Commercial Sale of such Licensed Product in such country there is no Valid Claim that is infringed by the sale of such Licensed Product in such country for so long as there is no such Valid Claim, or (ii) if any such Valid Claim did exist as of such First Commercial Sale or thereafter but such Valid Claim has expired or otherwise no longer meets the definition of Valid Claim, then for any royalty payments made during the period when the condition set forth in (i) or (ii) exists with respect to such Licensed Product and such country, the royalties payable with respect to Net Sales of such Licensed Product sold by Jazz, its Affiliates and its Sublicensees in such country shall be reduced by [***] of the royalties otherwise owed to Codiak pursuant to this Section 8.10. In addition, if in any country in the Territory during the Royalty Term for a Licensed Product for such country, a Biosimilar/Generic Product is sold in such country and, according to a reasonable information source or reasonable proxy mutually agreed by the Parties, the units sold of all Biosimilar/Generic Products, collectively, exceed [***] or more of the unit sales of such Licensed Product in such country, then thereafter, the royalties payable with respect to Net Sales of such Licensed Product sold by Jazz, its Affiliates and its Sublicensees in such country shall be reduced by [***] of the royalties otherwise owed to Codiak pursuant to this Section 8.10. The reductions provided for by this Section 8.10.2(a) shall be calculated using the methodology outlined in Exhibit D. (b) Codiak will be responsible for all payment obligations owing to Third Parties under licenses to which Codiak or any of its Affiliates is a party as of the Effective Date or thereafter as set forth in Section 3.3. Other than any licenses or similar rights obtained by Jazz from a Third Party as contemplated in Section 3.3.5(b), if (i) the Exploitation of Licensed Compounds or Licensed Products as contemplated hereunder, including, for clarity, the use of any Agreed Included Codiak Platform Addition in connection with such Exploitation, would infringe or misappropriate any intellectual property that is owned or Controlled by a Third Party, and (ii) Jazz decides to obtain a license or other similar rights from such Third Party in order to avoid such infringement or misappropriation, then [***] of any payments made to such Third Party in connection with obtaining and maintaining such licenses may be deducted from the royalties otherwise payable by Jazz to Codiak hereunder; provided that in no event shall the aggregate royalties payable by Jazz to Codiak for any Calendar Quarter be reduced as a result of such deduction by more than [***] of the royalty that would otherwise have been due under Section 8.10.1, as such royalty amount is determined prior to the application of any reductions provided in this Section 8.10.2. If Jazz is unable to deduct the full amount of the payments to Third Parties contemplated by this Section 8.10.2(b) for a Calendar Quarter, Jazz will be entitled to carry forward such amounts and deduct them in future Calendar Quarters until such time as Jazz has been able to fully deduct such amounts from the royalties payable under Section 8.10.1. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of payments due to a Third Party on sales in the Shared Territory for a Licensed Product for which Codiak exercised its Development and Commercialization Option, no deduction under this Section 8.10.2(b) shall be permitted but Jazz may include such payments in Allowable Expenses.
Royalty Reduction If Licensed Product is royalty-bearing only on account of Section 4.3(b)(ii), then the royalty rates set forth in Section 4.3(a) with respect to Net Sales attributable to Licensed Product will be reduced by [***].
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.
Reduction of Severance Benefits If any payment or benefit that the Executive would receive from any Company Group member or any other party whether in connection with the provisions in this Agreement or otherwise (the “Payment”) would (i) constitute a “parachute payment” within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code and (ii) but for this sentence, be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code (the “Excise Tax”), then the Payment will be equal to the Best Results Amount. The “Best Results Amount” will be either (x) the full amount of the Payment or (y) a lesser amount that would result in no portion of the Payment being subject to the Excise Tax, whichever of those amounts, taking into account the applicable federal, state and local employment taxes, income taxes and the Excise Tax, results in the Executive’s receipt, on an after-tax basis, of the greater amount. If a reduction in payments or benefits constituting parachute payments is necessary so that the Payment equals the Best Results Amount, reduction will occur in the following order: (A) reduction of cash payments in reverse chronological order (that is, the cash payment owed on the latest date following the occurrence of the event triggering the Excise Tax will be the first cash payment to be reduced); (B) cancellation of equity awards that were granted “contingent on a change in ownership or control” within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code in the reverse order of date of grant of the awards (that is, the most recently granted equity awards will be cancelled first); (C) reduction of the accelerated vesting of equity awards in the reverse order of date of grant of the awards (that is, the vesting of the most recently granted equity awards will be cancelled first); and (D) reduction of employee benefits in reverse chronological order (that is, the benefit owed on the latest date following the occurrence of the event triggering the Excise Tax will be the first benefit to be reduced). In no event will the Executive have any discretion with respect to the ordering of Payment reductions. The Executive will be solely responsible for the payment of all personal tax liability that is incurred as a result of the payments and benefits received under this Agreement, and the Executive will not be reimbursed, indemnified, or held harmless by any member of the Company Group for any of those payments of personal tax liability.
Lump Sum Severance Payment Payment of a lump sum amount equal to twelve (12) months of Executive’s then-current Base Salary plus the Pro Rated Bonus, less all customary and required taxes and employment-related deductions, paid on the first payroll date following the date on which the Release required by Paragraph 4(g) becomes effective and non-revocable, but not after seventy (70) days following the effective date of termination from employment.
Denial of Benefits Subject to prior notification and consultation, a Party may deny the benefits of this Chapter to: (a) investors of the other Party where the investment is being made by a enterprise that is owned or controlled by persons of a third State and the enterprise has no substantive business activities in the territory of the other Party; or (b) investors of the other Party where the investment is being made by a enterprise that is owned or controlled by persons of the denying Party.
Increased Costs and Reduced Return (a) If any Lender, any Agent or the L/C Issuer shall have determined that any Change in Law shall (i) subject such Agent, such Lender or the L/C Issuer, or any Person controlling such Agent, such Lender or the L/C Issuer to any tax, duty or other charge with respect to this Agreement or any Loan made by such Agent or such Lender or any Letter of Credit issued by the L/C Issuer, or change the basis of taxation of payments to such Agent, such Lender or the L/C Issuer or any Person controlling such Agent, such Lender or the L/C Issuer of any amounts payable hereunder (except for Indemnified Taxes and Excluded Taxes), (ii) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement against any Loan, any Letter of Credit or against assets of or held by, or deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, such Agent, such Lender or the L/C Issuer or any Person controlling such Agent, such Lender or the L/C Issuer or (iii) impose on such Agent, such Lender or the L/C Issuer or any Person controlling such Agent, such Lender or the L/C Issuer any other condition regarding this Agreement or any Loan or Letter of Credit, and the result of any event referred to in clauses (i), (ii) or (iii) above shall be to increase the cost to such Agent, such Lender or the L/C Issuer of making any Loan, issuing, guaranteeing or participating in any Letter of Credit, or agreeing to make any Loan or issue, guaranty or participate in any Letter of Credit, or to reduce any amount received or receivable by such Agent, such Lender or the L/C Issuer hereunder, then, upon demand by such Agent, such Lender or the L/C Issuer, the Borrowers shall pay to such Agent, such Lender or the L/C Issuer such additional amounts as will compensate such Agent, such Lender or the L/C Issuer for such increased costs or reductions in amount; provided, however, that notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.10(a), it shall be a condition to a Lender’s or L/C Issuer’s exercise of its rights, if any, under this Section 2.10(a) that such Lender or L/C Issuer shall generally be exercising similar rights with respect to borrowers under similar agreements. (b) If any Agent, any Lender or the L/C Issuer shall have determined that any Change in Law either (i) affects or would affect the amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by such Agent, such Lender or the L/C Issuer or any Person controlling such Agent, such Lender or the L/C Issuer, and such Agent, such Lender or the L/C Issuer determines that the amount of such capital is increased as a direct or indirect consequence of any Loans made or maintained, Letters of Credit issued or any guaranty or participation with respect thereto, such Agent’s, such Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s or such other controlling Person’s other obligations hereunder, or (ii) has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Agent’s, such Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s such other controlling Person’s capital to a level below that which such Agent, such Lender or the L/C Issuer or such controlling Person could have achieved but for such circumstances as a consequence of any Loans made or maintained, Letters of Credit issued, or any guaranty or participation with respect thereto or any agreement to make Loans, to issue Letters of Credit or such Agent’s, such Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s or such other controlling Person’s other obligations hereunder (in each case, taking into consideration, such Agent’s, such Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s or such other controlling Person’s policies with respect to capital adequacy), then, upon demand by such Agent, such Lender or the L/C Issuer, the Borrowers shall pay to such Agent, such Lender or the L/C Issuer from time to time such additional amounts as will compensate such Agent, such Lender or the L/C Issuer for such cost of maintaining such increased capital or such reduction in the rate of return on such Agent’s, such Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s or such other controlling Person’s capital; provided, however, that notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.10(b), it shall be a condition to a Lender’s or L/C Issuer’s exercise of its rights, if any, under this Section 2.10(b) that such Lender or L/C Issuer shall generally be exercising similar rights with respect to borrowers under similar agreements. (c) All amounts payable under this Section 2.10 shall bear interest from the date that is ten (10) days after the date of demand by any Agent, any Lender or the L/C Issuer until Payment in Full to such Agent, such Lender or the L/C Issuer at the Reference Rate. A certificate of such Agent, such Lender or the L/C Issuer claiming compensation under this Section 2.10, specifying the event herein above described and the nature of such event shall be submitted by such Agent, such Lender or the L/C Issuer to the Administrative Borrower, setting forth the additional amount due and an explanation of the calculation thereof, and such Agent’s, such Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s reasons for invoking the provisions of this Section 2.10, and shall be final and conclusive absent manifest error. (d) Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.10 shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation; provided, that the Borrowers shall not be required to compensate such Agent, such Lender or the L/C Issuer pursuant to this Section 2.10 for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than 180 days prior to the date that such Agent, Lender or L/C Issuer, as the case may be, notifies the Administrative Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions, and of such Agent’s, Lender’s or L/C Issuer’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 180 days period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof). (e) The obligations of the Loan Parties under this Section 2.10 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.
Change in Control Severance Benefits If there is a Change in Control, and within one (1) year of such Change in Control, the Executive’s employment is terminated under the circumstances described in Sections 4(a) through 4(f) above, the Executive shall be entitled to the following: (I) if such termination is a termination by the Company without Cause pursuant to Section 4(a) or the Executive resigns for Good Reason pursuant to Section 4(b), the Company shall pay the Executive the Accrued Obligations and, in addition, subject to the provisions of Section 19, (A) an amount equal to twenty-four (24) months of the Executive’s Base Salary at the rate in effect on the date of termination or resignation, payable in a lump sum within sixty (60) calendar days of the date of termination or resignation; and (B) provided the Executive timely elects continuation coverage under COBRA, the Company shall also pay, on the Executive’s behalf, the portion of monthly premiums for the Executive’s group health insurance, including coverage for the Executive’s dependents, that the Company paid immediately prior to the date of termination or resignation, during the eighteen (18) month period following the date of termination or resignation, subject to the Executive’s continued eligibility for COBRA coverage. The Company will pay for such COBRA coverage for eligible dependents only for those dependents who were enrolled immediately prior to the date of termination or resignation. The Executive will continue to be required to pay that portion of the premium for the Executive’s health coverage, including coverage for the Executive’s eligible dependents, that the Executive was required to pay as an active employee immediately prior to the date of termination or resignation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that under applicable guidance the reimbursement of COBRA premiums causes the Company’s group health plan to violate any applicable nondiscrimination rule, the parties agree to negotiate in good faith a mutually agreeable alternative arrangement; and (II) if such termination is a termination or resignation under the circumstances described in Sections 4(c), 4(d), 4(e) or 4(f), the Executive shall be entitled to the compensation and benefits for which the Executive is eligible under such sections.
