Voluntary Transfers 1. Employees may apply for a transfer within the application deadline to any opening posted pursuant to the provisions of Section B of this Article. Prior to April 1, of the school year, employees may also apply for transfer for the following school year even if there are no known openings at the time of application; provided, however, that the application specifies the school(s), grade level(s), and subject area(s) of the positions to which the employee would like to transfer.
2. When an employee wants to transfer, the following procedure shall be followed:
a. The employee shall obtain a Transfer Request Form from the Human Resources Office and complete the appropriate section of the form.
b. The employee shall then submit the completed Transfer Request Form to the employee’s site administrator for signature and comment. Such signature shall be an acknowledgment that the site administrator has been informed of the employee’s desire for transfer. If a Transfer Request Form is submitted in connection with a particular vacancy or for the purpose of specifying interest in a position if one should become vacant, the employee shall be notified that the form has been received. Transfer forms received directly in the Human Resources department will be date stamped with a copy provided to the employee. If the form is submitted electronically, they will receive an email acknowledgement.
c. The Human Resources Office shall furnish the site administrator of the work site where a specific vacancy exists with the name(s) and present assignment(s) of employee(s) applying for the vacancy. That site administrator shall interview each employee requesting the transfer, and then shall make a recommendation to the Assistant Superintendent, Human Resources.
3. When, as reasonably determined by the District, the qualifications of candidates for a particular position are equal, present employees shall be given preference over non-employees and the present employees with the greatest seniority shall be given preference over the other present employees.
4. When a transfer request is denied, the District shall notify the employee whose transfer request was denied. The Assistant Superintendent, Human Resources, upon written request of the employee, shall meet with the employee and explain the specific reason(s) for the denial. A representative of the Association may be present at this meeting if requested by the employee, and another representative of the District may be present at this meeting if requested by the Assistant Superintendent, Human Resources.
5. Filing a request for transfer shall be without prejudice to the employee in the employee's present position.
Involuntary Transfers Any transfer of title or beneficial ownership of Interests or Special Membership Interests, as applicable, upon default, foreclosure, forfeit, divorce, court order or otherwise than by a voluntary decision on the part of a Management Member, Outside Investor Member or Other Investor Member (each, an "Involuntary Transfer") shall be void unless such Management Member, Outside Investor Member or Other Investor Member complies with this Section 13.6 and enables the Company to exercise in full its rights hereunder. Upon any Involuntary Transfer, the Company shall have the right to purchase such Interests or Special Membership Interests, as applicable, pursuant to this Section 13.6 and the person or entity to whom such Interests or Special Membership Interests, as applicable, have been Transferred (the "Involuntary Transferee") shall have the obligation to sell such Interests or Special Membership Interests, as applicable, in accordance with this Section 13.6. Upon the Involuntary Transfer of any Interest or Special Membership Interests, as applicable, such Management Member, Outside Investor Member or Other Investor Member shall promptly (but in no event later than two days after such Involuntary Transfer) furnish written notice to the Company indicating that the Involuntary Transfer has occurred, specifying the name of the Involuntary Transferee, giving a detailed description of the circumstances giving rise to, and stating the legal basis for, the Involuntary Transfer. Upon the receipt of the notice described in the preceding sentence, and for 60 days thereafter, the Company shall have the right to purchase, and the Involuntary Transferee shall have the obligation to sell, all (but not less than all) of the Interests and Special Membership Interests acquired by the Involuntary Transferee for a purchase price equal to the lesser of (i) the Fair Market Value of such Interests or Special Membership Interests, as applicable, and (ii) the amount of the indebtedness or other liability that gave rise to the Involuntary Transfer plus the excess, if any, of the Carrying Value of such Interests or Special Membership Interests, as applicable, over the amount of such indebtedness or other liability that gave rise to the Involuntary Transfer. For purposes of this Agreement, "Carrying Value", with respect to any outstanding Special Membership Interest, means the value equal to the Special Membership Interest Funds advanced by the applicable selling Management Member, Outside Investor Member or Other Investor Member in respect of any such outstanding Special Membership Interest (plus any portion of accrued and unpaid interest on the applicable pro rata outstanding portion of the Bulk Advances that is allocable to the applicable Member pursuant to Section 10.8), less principal amounts paid to such Member in respect of such Member's Special Membership Interest.
Voluntary Transfer An employee who transfers within the same class shall receive no salary adjustment. An employee who transfers between classes shall receive the minimum adjustment necessary to bring his/her salary to the minimum rate of the new class. However, an employee receiving a rate of pay in excess of the range maximum shall continue to receive that rate of pay.
Involuntary Transfer An ‘involuntary transfer’ shall mean a change of assignment from one building to another to fill a specific position or vacancy when the employee does not agree to the change of assignment.
6.3.1 In the event the District determines that circumstances require a transfer of staff to fill a specific position and no qualified staff member voluntarily accepts the necessary transfer then the Superintendent will determine that an involuntary transfer action needs to be implemented. A pool of potential involuntary transferees shall be designated. Each potential transferee shall be considered on the basis of information contained in his/her staff development plan, his/her past performance, and any other pertinent factors.
6.3.2 In the event two or more potential transferees are deemed equally qualified by the District, the least senior employee under consideration shall be involuntarily transferred. Each involuntary transfer will be considered on its own merits and every attempt will be made to minimize disruption to the instructional program. The Superintendent shall notify the person to be involuntarily transferred in writing and shall stipulate the reasons for the transfer. Such notification shall take place before the involuntary transfer is to be implemented. The employee who is involuntarily transferred shall have the right to meet with the Superintendent or designee.
6.3.3 Except in emergencies, at least ten (10) days written notice will be given to the person who is to be involuntarily transferred. However, the involuntary transfer will be tentative until the teacher has had the opportunity to appeal the decision through the grievance procedure. Such appeal shall be limited to alleged procedural violations of this involuntary transfer policy. Appeals on any aspect other than the procedure will be submitted to the District’s Board of Directors in accordance with Article 5, Section 1, Class B, Grievance.
6.3.4 Employees who have been involuntarily transferred who notify the District of their desire to return will be transferred back to the last assignment held if or when that former assignment becomes vacant. This consideration shall expire when the employee has worked the same number of years as the former assignment from which they were transferred.
6.3.5 A person involuntarily transferred during the school year will be granted one (1) of the options listed in Section 7, ‘New Curriculum Responsibilities’.
VOLUNTARY TRANSFERS AND REASSIGNMENTS 12.3.1 A listing of tentative vacancies for which the District will interview shall be posted annually in each school on or about March 30 and April 15. The transfer or reassignment closing date will be April 30. Those employees applying within this window shall receive placement prior to consideration of outside applicants.
Transfer of Shares After Registration; Suspension (a) The Investor agrees that it will not effect any disposition of the Shares or its right to purchase the Shares that would constitute a sale within the meaning of the Securities Act except as contemplated in the Registration Statement referred to in Section 7.1 and as described below or as otherwise permitted by law, and that it will promptly notify the Company of any changes in the information set forth in the Registration Statement regarding the Investor or its plan of distribution.
(b) Except in the event that paragraph (c) below applies, the Company shall (i) if deemed necessary by the Company, prepare and file from time to time with the SEC a post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement or a supplement to the related Prospectus or a supplement or amendment to any document incorporated therein by reference or file any other required document so that such Registration Statement will not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and so that, as thereafter delivered to purchasers of the Shares being sold thereunder, such Prospectus will not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; (ii) provide the Investor copies of any documents filed pursuant to Section 7.2(b)(i) as the Investor may reasonably request; and (iii) inform each Investor that the Company has complied with its obligations in Section 7.2(b)(i) (or that, if the Company has filed a post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement which has not yet been declared effective, the Company will notify the Investor to that effect, will use its best efforts to secure the effectiveness of such post-effective amendment as promptly as possible and will promptly notify the Investor pursuant to Section 7.2(b)(i) hereof when the amendment has become effective).
(c) Subject to paragraph (d) below, in the event (i) of any request by the SEC or any other federal or state governmental authority during the period of effectiveness of the Registration Statement for amendments or supplements to a Registration Statement or related Prospectus or for additional information; (ii) of the issuance by the SEC or any other federal or state governmental authority of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of a Registration Statement or the initiation of any proceedings for that purpose; (iii) of the receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification or exemption from qualification of any of the Shares for sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose; or (iv) of any event or circumstance which, upon the advice of its counsel, necessitates the making of any changes in the Registration Statement or Prospectus, or any document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference, so that, in the case of the Registration Statement, it will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or any omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and that in the case of the Prospectus, it will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or any omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; then the Company shall deliver a certificate in writing to the Investor (the “Suspension Notice”) to the effect of the foregoing and, upon receipt of such Suspension Notice, the Investor will refrain from selling any Shares pursuant to the Registration Statement (a “Suspension”) until the Investor’s receipt of copies of a supplemented or amended Prospectus prepared and filed by the Company, or until it is advised in writing by the Company that the current Prospectus may be used, and has received copies of any additional or supplemental filings that are incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference in any such Prospectus. In the event of any Suspension, the Company will use its best efforts to cause the use of the Prospectus so suspended to be resumed as soon as reasonably practicable within 20 business days after the delivery of a Suspension Notice to the Investor.
(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing paragraphs of this Section 7.2, the Investor shall not be prohibited from selling Shares under the Registration Statement as a result of Suspensions on more than two occasions of not more than 30 days each in any twelve month period, unless, in the good faith judgment of the Company’s Board of Directors, upon the written opinion of counsel of counsel, the sale of Shares under the Registration Statement in reliance on this paragraph 7.2(d) would be reasonably likely to cause a violation of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act and result in liability to the Company.
(e) Provided that a Suspension is not then in effect, the Investor may sell Shares under the Registration Statement, provided that it arranges for delivery of a current Prospectus to the transferee of such Shares. The Company shall provide such number of current Prospectuses to the Investor as the Investor may reasonably request, and shall supply copies to any other parties reasonably requiring such Prospectuses.
(f) In the event of a sale of Shares by the Investor pursuant to the Registration Statement, the Investor must also deliver to the Company’s transfer agent, with a copy to the Company, a Certificate of Subsequent Sale substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A, so that the Shares may be properly transferred.
Transfer of Shares After Registration Each Purchaser agrees that it will not effect any disposition of the Shares or its right to purchase the Shares that would constitute a sale within the meaning of the Securities Act, except as contemplated in the Registration Statement referred to in Section 7.1 or as otherwise permitted by law, and that it will promptly notify the Company of any changes in the information set forth in the Registration Statement regarding the Purchaser or its plan of distribution.
Registration of Common Stock Cashless Exercise at Companys Option The Company agrees that as soon as practicable after the closing of its initial Business Combination, it shall use its best efforts to file with the SEC a registration statement for the registration, under the Act, of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants, and it shall use its best efforts to take such action as is necessary to register or qualify for sale, in those states in which the Warrants were initially offered by the Company and in those states where holders of Warrants then reside, the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants, to the extent an exemption is not available. The Company will use its best efforts to cause the same to become effective and to maintain the effectiveness of such registration statement until the expiration of the Warrants in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. If any such registration statement has not been declared effective by the 60th Business Day following the closing of the Business Combination, holders of the Warrants shall have the right, during the period beginning on the 61st Business Day after the closing of the Business Combination and ending upon such registration statement being declared effective by the SEC, and during any other period when the Company shall fail to have maintained an effective registration statement covering the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants, to exercise such Warrants on a “cashless basis” as determined in accordance with Section 3.3.1(d). The Company shall provide the Warrant Agent with an opinion of counsel for the Company (which shall be an outside law firm with securities law experience) stating that (i) the exercise of the Warrants on a cashless basis in accordance with this Section 7.4 is not required to be registered under the Act and (ii) the shares of Common Stock issued upon such exercise will be freely tradable under U.S. federal securities laws by anyone who is not an affiliate (as such term is defined in Rule 144 under the Act) of the Company and, accordingly, will not be required to bear a restrictive legend. For the avoidance of any doubt, unless and until all of the Warrants have been exercised on a cashless basis, the Company shall continue to be obligated to comply with its registration obligations under the first three sentences of this Section 7.4.
Liquidation Preference (a) In the event of any liquidation, winding up or dissolution of the Corporation, whether voluntary or involuntary, each Holder shall be entitled to receive in respect of its shares of Series A Preferred Stock and to be paid out of the assets of the Corporation legally available for distribution to its stockholders, after satisfaction of liabilities to the Corporation’s creditors and holders of shares of Senior Stock and before any payment or distribution is made to holders of Junior Stock (including the Common Stock), the Liquidation Preference per share of Series A Preferred Stock plus an amount equal to all accumulated and unpaid dividends on such shares, whether or not declared, to, but not including the date fixed for liquidation, winding up or dissolution.
(b) Neither the sale, conveyance, exchange or transfer of all or substantially all the assets or business of the Corporation (other than in connection with the liquidation, winding up or dissolution of the Corporation), nor the merger or consolidation of the Corporation into or with any other Person, nor any share exchange or division involving the Corporation pursuant to applicable statutes providing for the consolidation, merger, share exchange or division, shall be deemed to be a liquidation, winding up or dissolution, whether voluntary or involuntary, for the purposes of this Section 7, notwithstanding that, for other purposes, such as for tax purposes, such an event may constitute a liquidation, dissolution or winding up. In addition, no payment shall be made to Holders pursuant to this Section 7 upon the liquidation, dissolution or winding up, whether voluntary or involuntary, of any of the Corporation’s Subsidiaries or upon any reorganization of the Corporation’s Subsidiaries with or without the approval of the Corporation’s stockholders.
(c) After the payment to the Holders of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock of full preferential amounts provided for in this Section 7, the Holders of Series A Preferred Stock as such shall have no right or claim to any of the remaining assets of the Corporation.
(d) In the event the assets of the Corporation available for distribution to the Holders and holders of shares of Parity Stock upon any liquidation, winding up or dissolution of the Corporation, whether voluntary or involuntary, shall be insufficient to pay in full all amounts to which such holders are entitled pursuant to this Section 7, such Holders and such holders of shares of Parity Stock shall share, equally and ratably in proportion to the respective full amounts to which such holders are entitled pursuant to this Section 7, in any distribution of the assets of the Corporation.
Designation and Number of Shares The shares of such series shall be designated as "Series A Participating Cumulative Preferred Stock" (the "Series A Preferred Stock"), and the number of shares constituting such series shall be 100,000. Such number of shares of the Series A Preferred Stock may be increased or decreased by resolution of the Board of Directors; provided that no decrease shall reduce the number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock to a number less than the number of shares then outstanding plus the number of shares issuable upon exercise or conversion of outstanding rights, options or other securities issued by the Corporation.
