Election to Participate Participation in the DROP program is irrevocable once an employee begins participation. An employee who wishes to participate in the DROP shall complete and sign such application form or forms as shall be required by the Macomb County Board of Commissioners. Such application shall be reviewed by the Human Resources Department within a reasonable time period and make a determination as to the member’s eligibility for participation in the DROP. On the date upon which the member’s participation in the DROP shall be effective, he/she shall be considered to be a DROP participant and shall cease to be an active member of the Macomb County Employees Retirement System. The amount of credited service, multiplier and final average compensation shall be fixed as of the employee’s DROP date. When an employee’s Final Average Compensation is calculated, any retroactive wages provided shall be counted as if the retroactive wages were paid to the employee when the wages were earned, not when they were received by the employee. Increases or decreases in compensation during DROP participation will not be factored into retirement benefits of active or former DROP participants. DROP participants accrue no service time credit for retirement purposes pursuant to the Macomb County Employees Retirement System. Upon execution of this agreement by the UAW, Xxxxx 000, Xxxx 00 and the County of Macomb, employees who are represented by the UAW, Xxxxx 000, Xxxx 00 and who qualify for DROP participation may file the appropriate application forms with an effective DROP date no sooner than (Expressly contingent upon ratification by the Full Board of Commissioners on December 15, 2005) January 1, 2006.
Right to Participate The indemnified party agrees to afford the indemnifying party and its counsel the opportunity to be present at, and to participate in, conferences with all persons, including Governmental Authorities, asserting any Indemnity Claim against the indemnified party or conferences with representatives of or counsel for such persons.
Eligibility to Participate An employee eligible to participate in the State Employee Group Insurance Program, as described in Sections 2A and 2B, may participate in open enrollment. In addition, a person in the following categories may, as allowed in section 5D1 above, make certain changes: (1) a former employee or dependent on continuation coverage, as described in Section 2D, may change plans or add coverage for health and/or dental plans on the same basis as active employees; and (2) an early retiree, prior to becoming eligible for Medicare, may change health and/or dental plans as agreed to for active employees, but may not add dependent coverage.
Right to Participate in Defense Without limiting Section 10.3.2(a), any Indemnified Party shall be entitled to participate in, but not control, the defense of such Third Party Claim and to employ counsel of its choice for such purpose; provided, however, that such employment shall be at the Indemnified Party's own expense unless (i) the employment thereof has been specifically authorized by the indemnifying Party in writing or (ii) the indemnifying Party has failed to assume the defense and employ counsel in accordance with Section 10.3.2
(a) (in which case the Indemnified Party shall control the defense).
Right to Monitor and Participate An Indemnitee that does not conduct and control the defense of any Third-Party Claim, or an Indemnifying Party that has failed to elect to defend any Third-Party Claim as contemplated hereby, nevertheless shall have the right to employ separate counsel (including local counsel as necessary) of its own choosing to monitor and participate in (but not control) the defense of any Third-Party Claim for which it is a potential Indemnitee or Indemnifying Party, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnitee or Indemnifying Party, as the case may be, and the provisions of Section 4.5(c) shall not apply to such fees and expenses. Notwithstanding the foregoing, but subject to Sections 6.7 and 6.8, such Party shall cooperate with the Party entitled to conduct and control the defense of such Third-Party Claim in such defense and make available to the controlling Party, at the non-controlling Party’s expense, all witnesses, information and materials in such Party’s possession or under such Party’s control relating thereto as are reasonably required by the controlling Party. In addition to the foregoing, if any Indemnitee shall in good faith determine that such Indemnitee and the Indemnifying Party have actual or potential differing defenses or conflicts of interest between them that make joint representation inappropriate, then the Indemnitee shall have the right to employ separate counsel (including local counsel as necessary) and to participate in (but not control) the defense, compromise, or settlement thereof, and the Indemnifying Party shall bear the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel for all Indemnitees.
Agreement not to Participate in Company’s Competitors During Executive’s employment with the Company, Executive agrees not to acquire, assume or participate in, directly or indirectly, any position, investment or interest known by Executive to be adverse or antagonistic to the Company, its business, or prospects, financial or otherwise, or in any company, person, or entity that is, directly or indirectly, in competition with the business of the Company or any of its Affiliates (as defined below). Ownership by Executive, in professionally managed funds over which the Executive does not have control or discretion in investment decisions, or as a passive investment, of less than two percent (2%) of the outstanding shares of capital stock of any corporation with one or more classes of its capital stock listed on a national securities exchange or publicly traded on a national securities exchange or in the over-the-counter market shall not constitute a breach of this Section. For purposes of this Agreement, “Affiliate,” means, with respect to any specific entity, any other entity that, directly or indirectly, through one or more intermediaries, controls, is controlled by or is under common control with such specified entity.

Individual Negotiation This Agreement and each Transaction hereunder is subject to individual negotiation by the parties.
Application Form To apply for a pole attachment or conduit occupancy license under this Agreement, Applicant shall submit to SWBT two signed copies of the appropriate application forms. SWBT represents that the forms specified in subsections (a)-(b) are forms in use prior to the effective date of this Agreement and that SWBT is in the process of revising such forms to conform to the provisions of this Agreement and to streamline the application process. The parties therefore agree that the forms specified in subsections (a) and (b) will be interim forms only. SWBT reserves the right to change the format and content of these forms upon 60 days written notice to Applicant.
(a) To apply for a pole attachment license, Applicant shall submit to SWBT two signed copies of SWBT’s Form SW-9434 (“Access Application and Make- Ready Authorization”) together with completed Form SW-9433 (“Pole Attachments”). An application for a pole attachment license will not be complete or subject to processing by SWBT until these forms have been submitted to SWBT; provided, however, that such forms will be deemed to be substantially complete if they contain the information specified in subsections (c)-(h) below, as applicable. Copies of Forms SW-9433 and SW-9434 are attached to this Agreement as parts of APPENDIX III.
(b) To apply for a conduit occupancy license, Applicant shall submit to SWBT two signed copies of SWBT’s Form SW-9434 (“Access Application and Make-Ready Authorization”) together with completed Form SW-9435 (“Conduit Occupancy”). An application for a conduit occupancy license will not be complete or subject to processing by SWBT until these forms have been submitted to SWBT; provided, however, that such forms will be deemed to be substantially complete if they contain the information specified in subsections (c)-(h) below, as applicable. Copies of Forms SW-9434 and SW-9435 are attached to this Agreement as parts of APPENDIX III.
(c) Each application for a license under this Agreement shall include, at a minimum, the following information:
(1) the poles, ducts, and conduits (including all manholes) along Applicant’s proposed route to or within which Applicant desires to attach or place its facilities;
(2) a description of the facilities to be attached to SWBT’s poles and a description of the facilities to be placed within each component of SWBT’s conduit system (including but not limited to ducts, conduits, manholes, and handholes) along the proposed route;
(3) for poles, the proposed points of attachment;
(4) for building entrance or building distribution ducts or conduits or other space within a building, a conspicuous statement, as required by Section 5.06 of this Agreement, that the application pertains to a building entrance or building distribution duct or conduit or other space within a building;
(5) if applicable, a conspicuous notation that the space requested is not to be assigned (or billed) to Applicant until SWBT has received Applicant’s written instruction to make such assignment or issued a license authorizing Applicant to occupy the space requested; and
(6) if applicable, a conspicuous statement that Applicant intends to occupy the space before the issuance of a license, as provided in Section 8.03 of this Agreement.
(d) Facilities descriptions which apply to multiple pole attachments or conduit occupancies need only be described once on any form. Facilities descriptions shall include, at a minimum, the following information:
(1) the number and types of cables, including the physical size (diameter) and weight (weight per foot);
(2) the number and types of strands, if any, which will be used to support the cables, including the rated holding capacity expressed in thousand pound increments (e.g., 2.2M) of such strands; and
(3) sufficient information to identify and describe the physical characteristics (size, dimensions, and weight) of apparatus enclosures and other facilities to be attached to SWBT’s poles or placed in SWBT’s conduit system.
(e) When it appears to Applicant that facilities modification, capacity expansion, or make-ready work may be required to accommodate Applicant’s access requests, Applicant shall describe the facilities modification, capacity expansion, or make-ready work which Applicant proposes. Applicant shall also describe its plans, if any, to use any infrequent construction technique or connectivity solution authorized under Section 6.03 to avoid high or unusual expenditures and state its reasons for the use of such technique or solution.
(f) Applicant acknowledges that the poles along a particular pole line or route may include poles owned by firms (such as electric utilities) other than SWBT, that it may be necessary for SWBT to rearrange its facilities or perform other make-ready work on poles other than poles it owns or controls in order to accommodate Applicant’s request for access to SWBT’s poles and that, at the time an application is submitted, it may be difficult for Applicant to determine with certainty whether a particular pole is owned or controlled by SWBT or by another entity. Accordingly, the application shall, to the extent feasible, identify all poles utilized by SWBT (without regard to ownership) along Applicant’s proposed route.
(g) Each application for a license under this Agreement shall be accompanied by a construction schedule showing Applicant’s projected dates for beginning and completing construction at the sites specified in the application. Information on this schedule may be used by SWBT’s engineering and outside plant construction personnel in scheduling work required to process Applicant’s applications and scheduling such capacity expansions, make- ready work, and facilities modifications, if any, as may be necessary to accommodate Applicant’s facilities.
(h) Applicant may include multiple cables in a single license application and may provide multiple services (e.g., CATV and non-CATV services) under the same cable sheath or jacket. When both CATV and non-CATV services are provided under the same cable sheath or jacket, or CATV and non-CATV services are provided using different cables attached or lashed to the same strand or otherwise occupying the same space on a pole or the same duct or inner duct within a conduit, Applicant will so advise SWBT and SWBT shall, if permitted by law, adjust its charges to enable SWBT to charge Applicant the rate applicable to telecommunications carriers rather than the rate applicable to cable television systems solely to provide cable service.
