Participant See Section 7(a) hereof.
Employee Participation The Employer will assist employees' participation in health promotion and health education programs. Health promotion and health education programs that have been endorsed by the Employer (Minnesota Management & Budget) will be considered to be non-assigned job-related training pursuant to Administrative Procedure 21. Approval for this training is at the discretion of the Appointing Authority and is contingent upon meeting staffing needs in the employee's absence and the availability of funds. Employees are eligible for release time, tuition reimbursement, or a pro rata combination of both. Employees may be reimbursed for up to one hundred (100) percent of tuition or registration costs upon successful completion of the program. Employees may be granted release time, including the travel time, in lieu of reimbursement.
Eligibility for Group Participation This section describes eligibility to participate in the Group Insurance Program.
Vesting Any Class A preferred shares issuable hereunder shall be subject to cliff vesting on December 31, 2025 (the “Initial Vesting Date”), and in the event vesting occurs on the Initial Vesting Date, a new cliff vesting period shall apply to all Class A shares issuable to Masterworks from and after such Initial Vesting Date until the three-year anniversary of such Initial Vesting Date and all of such Class A preferred shares will vest on such three-year anniversary of the Initial Vesting Date and such process will be repeated in successive three-year periods (each such vesting date, together with the Initial Vesting Date, a “Vesting Date”). Any vesting period may be extended for a five-year period or shortened in accordance with this Section 6, provided, that any applicable Vesting Date shall be accelerated upon an Approved Sale to the date any such Approved Sale is consummated, except in the case that such sale is not approved by the Special Committee. At any time prior to the 12-month anniversary of the applicable Vesting Date, the Parties can mutually agree in writing to extend the Vesting Date for one or more additional five-year periods, or agree at any time to accelerate the Vesting Date to an earlier date, provided that any agreement to accelerate the Vesting Date to an earlier date (other than in connection with a sale of the Artwork) shall be ineffective unless and until the Company obtains the consent of holders of a majority of the Class A shares eligible to vote on such matter. Any Class A shares beneficially owned by the Administrator and its affiliates shall not be eligible to vote on such matter. The unvested Class A preferred shares issued or issuable hereunder shall be forfeited if this Agreement is terminated prior to the applicable Vesting Date or if the Special Committee does not approve a sale of the Artwork. The Administrator may also, in its sole discretion, reduce unearned management fees or voluntarily forfeit any unvested management fees, in whole or in part. Any Class A preferred shares that are forfeited shall no longer be deemed to be outstanding and shall have no rights to distributions. All of the Class A preferred shares issued pursuant to this Agreement prior to the Effective Date shall be fully vested upon issuance and shall not be subject to the vesting provisions set forth in this Section 6. The holders of the Company’s Class A shares may remove and replace the Administrator with another person or entity by the affirmative vote of two-thirds (2/3) of the Class A shares eligible to vote, such removal to take effect on the date any such successor administrator has been appointed (the “Removal Effective Date”).
Participation in Retirement and Employee Benefit Plans The Employee shall be entitled to participate in all plans relating to pension, thrift, profit-sharing, group life and disability insurance, medical and dental coverage, education, cash bonuses, and other retirement or employee benefits or combinations thereof, in which the Bank's executive officers participate.
Participation in Benefit Plans The Executive shall be eligible to participate in the employee benefit plans and programs maintained by the Company from time to time for its executives, or for its employees generally, including without limitation any life, medical, dental, accidental and disability insurance and profit sharing, pension, retirement, savings, stock option, incentive stock and deferred compensation plans, in accordance with the terms and conditions as in effect from time to time.
Incremental Credit Extensions (a) At any time and subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 2.19, the Company may request (i) one or more new tranches of term facilities (any such new term facilities, an “Incremental Term Facility” and any loans made pursuant to an Incremental Term Facility, “Incremental Term Loans”) and/or (ii) one or more increases in the Aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments and/or add up to two new Foreign Borrower Tranches (it being agreed such new Foreign Borrower Tranche may only be borrowed by a Foreign Subsidiary) (each such increase or additional Foreign Borrower Tranche, a “Revolving Credit Commitment Increase” and the loans thereunder the “Incremental Revolving Loans”, together with the Incremental Term Loans, the “Incremental Loans”) with the consent of the Administrative Agent (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) but without the consent of any Lender not providing such Incremental Term Loans or Revolving Credit Commitment Increases, as the case may be; provided that
(A) (i) the aggregate amount of all Incremental Term Loans and Revolving Credit Commitment Increases made during the term of this Agreement after the Execution Date shall not exceed the Dollar Equivalent Amount of the Incremental Amount and (ii) any Incremental Facility shall rank pari passu in right of payment and security with the other Credit Facilities;
(B) the maturity date and weighted average life to maturity of any Incremental Facility that is a “term A facility” (which shall mean a term loan facility with amortization greater than 1% per year prior to maturity) (an “Incremental Term A Facility” and the loans thereunder, the “Incremental Term A Loans”) shall be no shorter than the maturity date and remaining weighted average life to maturity of the then-existing (or committed) Term A Loans (including any previously made Incremental Term A Loans), in each case calculated as of the date of making such Incremental Term A Loan;
Participant Loans Unless otherwise provided in a loan policy or Trust Agreement, and if permitted by the Employer in the Adoption Agreement, a Plan Participant and Beneficiaries who are parties-in-interest as defined in ERISA Section 3(14) may make application to the Plan Administrator requesting a loan from the Plan. The Plan Administrator shall have the sole right to approve or deny a Participant’s application provided that loans shall be made available to all Participants on a reasonably equivalent basis. Loans shall not be made available to Highly Compensated Employees in an amount greater than the amount made available to other Participants. Any loan granted under the Plan shall be made in accordance with the terms of a written loan policy adopted by the Employer which is hereby incorporated by reference and made a part of this Basic Plan Document #01. The loan policy may be amended in writing from time to time without the necessity of amending this paragraph and shall be subject to the following rules to the extent such rules are not inconsistent with such loan policy.
(a) No loan, when aggregated with any outstanding loan(s) to the Participant, shall exceed the lesser of (i) $50,000 reduced by the excess, if any, of the Participant’s highest outstanding balance of all loans on any day during the one (1) year period ending on the day before the loan is made, over the outstanding balance of loans from the Plan on the date the Participant’s loan is made or (ii) one-half of the fair market value of the Participant’s Vested Account Balance consisting of contributions as specified in the loan policy. An election may be made in the loan policy, that if the Participant’s Vested Account Balance is $20,000 or less, the maximum loan shall not exceed the lesser of $10,000 or 100% of the Participant’s Vested Account Balance. For the purpose of the above limitation, all loans from all plans of the Employer and other members of a group of employers described in Code Sections 414(b), 414(c), and 414(m) are aggregated. An assignment or pledge of any portion of the Participant’s interest in the Plan and a loan, pledge, or assignment with respect to any insurance contract purchased under the Plan, will be treated as a loan under this paragraph.
(b) All applications must be in accordance with procedures adopted by the Plan Administrator.
(c) Any loan shall bear interest at a rate reasonable at the time of application, considering the purpose of the loan and the rate being charged by representative commercial banks in the local area for a similar loan unless the Plan Administrator sets forth a different method for determining loan interest rates in its written loan procedures. The loan agreement shall also provide that the payment of principal and interest be amortized in level payments not less frequently than quarterly.
(d) The term of such loan shall not exceed a period of five (5) years except in the case of a loan for the purpose of acquiring any house, apartment, condominium, or mobile home that is used or is to be used within a reasonable time as the principal residence of the Participant. The Plan Administrator in accordance with the Plan’s loan policy shall determine the term of such loan.
(e) The principal and interest paid by a Participant on his or her loan shall be credited to the Plan in the same manner as for any other Plan investment. Unless otherwise provided in the loan policy, loans will be treated as segregated investments of the individual Participant on whose behalf the loan was made. This provision is not available if its election will result in discrimination in the operation of the Plan.
(f) If the Plan Administrator approves a Participant’s loan request, it shall be evidenced by a note, loan agreement, and assignment of up to 50% of his or her interest in the Trust as collateral for the loan. The Participant, except in the case of a profit-sharing plan satisfying the requirements of paragraph 8.7, must obtain the consent of his or her Spouse, if any, within the ninety (90) day period before the time his or her account balance is used as security for the loan. A new consent is required if the account balance is used for any renegotiation, extension, renewal or other revision of the loan, including an increase in the loan amount. The consent must be written, must acknowledge the effect of the loan, and must be witnessed by a Plan representative or notary public. Such consent shall subsequently be binding with respect to the consenting Spouse or any subsequent Spouse.
(g) If a valid Spousal consent has been obtained in accordance with paragraph (f), then, notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan, the portion of the Participant’s Vested Account Balance used as a security interest held by the Plan by reason of a loan outstanding to the Participant shall be taken into account for purposes of determining the amount of the account balance payable at the time of death or distribution, but only if the reduction is used as repayment of the loan. If less than 100% of the Participant’s Vested Account Balance (determined without regard to the preceding sentence) is payable to the surviving Spouse, then the account balance shall be adjusted by first reducing the Vested Account Balance by the amount of the security used as repayment of the loan, and then determining the benefit payable to the surviving Spouse.
(h) Any loan made hereunder shall be subject to the provisions of a loan agreement, promissory note, security agreement, payroll withholding authorization and, if applicable, financial disclosure. Such documentation may contain additional loan terms and conditions not specifically itemized in this section provided that such terms and conditions do not conflict with this section. Such additional terms and conditions may include, but are not limited to, procedures regarding default, a grace period for missed payments, and acceleration of a loan’s maturity date on specific events such as termination of employment.
(i) Effective for Plan loans made after December 31, 2001, Plan provisions prohibiting loans to any Owner-Employee or Shareholder Employee shall cease to apply.
Company Participation Subject to Section B.5, the Company shall not be liable to indemnify the Indemnitee under this Agreement with regard to any judicial action if the Company was not given a reasonable and timely opportunity, at its expense, to participate in the defense, conduct and/or settlement of such action.
PERFORMANCE BY INVESTOR Investor shall have performed, satisfied and complied in all respects with all covenants, agreements and conditions required by this Agreement to be performed, satisfied or complied with by the Investor at or prior to such Closing.
