CALL OFF PROCEDURE 4.1 If the Authority or any Other Contracting Body decides to source any of the Goods and/or Services through this Framework Agreement, then it shall be entitled at any time in its absolute and sole discretion during the Framework Period to award Call Off Agreements for the Goods and/or Services from the Supplier by following Framework Schedule 5 (Call Off Procedure).
4.2 The Supplier shall comply with the relevant provisions in Framework Schedule 5 (Call Off Procedure).
Lay-off Procedure A permanent employee subject to lay off will be placed using the following procedures in the order set out below:
a) An employee will first be offered any available permanent vacancy for which the employee has the required qualifications. The employee will have a maximum of five (5) working days to accept or reject such vacancy. If the employee accepts the vacancy and the hourly rate is lower in that vacant position, the employee's hourly rate will be maintained while the employee remains in that vacant position for a period of one (1) calendar year.
b) If there are no vacancies available for which the employee has the required qualifications, or if available, the employee does not accept the vacancy and the Employer transfers or demotes the employee pursuant to Clause 10.05, the employee's hourly rate of pay will be maintained so long as the employee remains in the position to which the employee was transferred or demoted. The employee will not receive any further negotiated wage increases until the hourly rate of pay of the new position equals or surpasses the hourly rate of pay of their previous position.
c) If there are no vacancies for which the employee has the required qualifications, or if available, the employee does not accept the vacancy and the Employer does not exercise its right under Clause 10.05, the employee may select a permanent position held by a less senior employee on the seniority list if they have the required qualifications.
d) This process will continue in order of seniority until each permanent employee subject to lay off obtains a position for which they are qualified or it is determined there are no positions available for which the employee is qualified. If the employee does not select a position for which they are qualified, the employee shall be laid off.
e) If the employee is not placed through the above procedures, the employee shall be laid off pursuant to Clause 10.03.
f) Permanent full-time employees and permanent part-time employees will be restricted to positions under a), b), c), and d) on their respective seniority lists.
g) If an employee is placed through any of the above procedures, the posting provisions under Clause 08.01 will not apply.
h) Temporary employees in the same work area and who spend the majority of their time performing the same work as the employee subject to lay off will be terminated before the permanent employee is laid off.
i) The procedures set out above in a) through h) shall be completed within twenty
Layoff Procedure A. Once the University determines the need for a layoff exists, it shall employ the following procedure:
1. If at any time during the layoff process an employee submits his notice of retirement, resignation or volunteers for layoff, the University will review its layoff rationale. Where appropriate, the University may curtail staff reductions and/or recall laid-off employee(s). The University shall first lay off non-bargaining unit temporary employees with the same job classification and within the department(s) where the layoff(s) occurs. The University shall then lay off probationary employees with the same job classification and within the affected department(s). The University shall then lay off part-time employees with the same job classification and within the affected department(s).
2. If further reductions are required, employees in the affected job classification(s) shall be laid off as follows:
a. any employees in the affected classification who have active discipline at the suspension (whether a working suspension or unpaid suspension) level or covered by a “last chance agreement” for conduct other than that covered by Article 41, or
b. any employees who have an overall performance evaluation rating below standards (i.e. a “needs improvement” rating or below) for the two most recent performance evaluation rating periods, or
c. in the inverse order of seniority. The remaining employees within the department or unit must be immediately qualified to perform the required work. For purposes of layoff, placement, bumping, and recall, “immediately qualified” shall be defined as meeting the minimum and preferred qualifications for the position to perform the work, with the exception of the Technology Scale, where “immediately qualified” shall be defined as meeting the minimum qualifications for the position to perform the required work. In determining whether the employee is immediately qualified, the University shall give consideration to ability, aptitude, skill, experience, qualifications as stated in the job description. The determination of qualifications is the responsibility of the University. If the University determines that an employee is not qualified, the employee shall have the right to grieve such decision. Part-time employees shall be laid off before full-time employees, and part-time employees cannot bump full-time employees. Similarly, temporary employees cannot bump regular or funds available employees, regardless of seniority.
3. Student employees shall not be used to perform significant components of the position of a laid off employee. It is agreed that this provision shall not apply to students, whether paid or unpaid, performing work in internships, graduate assistantships, practicums or through other programs whose primary purpose is to satisfy a degree requirement.
4. The University shall make available to laid-off employees, prior to their layoff date, job and career advising and information on benefits. Upon request, the University shall provide reasonable access to personal computers, and copiers for use in preparing resumes and cover letters. Employees shall also have access to EAP services during this time period to deal with any stress-related issues.
5. If the work force is to be reduced, it shall be accomplished by layoff and not by any hours reduction. Only by agreement between the employee, University and Union can the regular hours of employees be reduced.
6. If a layoff occurs during a period of unpaid leave, the employee on leave shall receive the same rights under this Agreement upon return to work as other employees.
7. Any employee scheduled to be laid off from his/her present job may request to be transferred into a posted vacant bargaining unit position for which the employee is immediately qualified to perform the required work.
8. Seniority will continue to accrue up to eighteen (18) months during time spent on layoff, and the employee shall retain all seniority accumulated prior to layoff.
9. Employees laid off while serving his/her initial probationary period or employees in a temporary position (an employee hired for a specific project or hired with a defined end date) will not be entitled to placement, bumping or recall rights.
Procedure upon Purchase (a) If the Lessee shall deliver (or is deemed to have delivered) an Offer to Purchase under Section 14(a)(i), the closing of the Lessee's purchase of the Property (the "Closing Date") shall be on the Expiration Date (or such earlier date during the last six (6) months of the Term as may be designated by Lessee). Otherwise, the Closing Date shall be: (1) in the case of an Offer to Purchase covering all or a portion of the Property given pursuant to subsection 14(a)(ii), (iii), or (iv), on the Payment Date specified in the Partial Termination Notice, Early Termination Notice, or Termination Notice, as applicable; (2) in the case of an Offer to Purchase (covering either all of the Property or an applicable portion thereof) delivered pursuant to subsection 14(a)(v) or (vi) on the first Payment Date that is at least thirty (30) days after delivery (or deemed delivery) of the Offer to Purchase to Lessor by Lessee. In any case the Closing Date may be on such other date as may be mutually agreed upon by the Lessor and the Lessee. On the Closing Date, upon receipt of the Offer Purchase Price, the Lessor shall convey, or cause to be conveyed, the Property or applicable portion thereof (or, in the case of Condemnation, the remaining portion thereof) to the Lessee or its designee by an appropriate recordable limited or special warranty deed and other appropriate conveyance documents containing no representation or warranty (expressed or implied) except that the Property or applicable portion thereof is free and clear of any conveyance, mortgage, lease, or Lien or other adverse interest of any kind created or caused by the Lessor or any person claiming by, through or under the Lessor but not otherwise (except as consented to by the Lessee).
(b) On the Closing Date, the Lessee shall pay, or cause to be paid, to the Lessor the "Acquisition Price" for the Property or the portion(s) thereof covered by the Offer to Purchase in question as defined in Exhibit "A", together with all Net Rent, Additional Rent and other sums then due and payable hereunder relating to the Property (including, in the case of a transfer of less than all of the Property, all such sums attributable both to the portions of the Property being transferred and the remaining portions of the Property) up to and including such Closing Date, plus the Early Termination Fee (if applicable) (such amounts, plus all amounts payable by Lessee pursuant to the following sentence, are herein referred to as the "Offer Purchase Price"), and the Lessor shall simultaneously (i) deliver to the Lessee or its designee the instruments referred to in this Section 15 with respect to the Property or the applicable portions thereof and any other instruments reasonably necessary to convey to Lessee or its designee the Property or the applicable portions thereof and assign any other property then required to be assigned pursuant hereto, and (ii) convey, or cause to be conveyed, to the Lessee or its designee any Net Proceeds and/or the right to receive the same attributable to the portions of the Property being transferred that have not theretofore been disbursed. The Transaction Mortgage granted by Lessor on the Property pursuant to the Transaction Agreement shall be released from the Property (or applicable portion thereof) purchased by Lessee, by the Agent, by appropriate recordable instrument. The Lessee shall also pay, or cause to be paid, all charges incident to such conveyance, including reasonable attorneys' fees of Lessor's counsel and/or Agent's counsel, and escrow fees, recording fees, any fees, costs or expenses incurred by the Lessor or Agent in connection with the same, and all applicable transfer taxes which may be imposed by reason of such conveyance and the delivery of said instruments (collectively, the "Closing Costs"). Upon the completion of any purchase of the Property pursuant to this Section 15, but not prior thereto, this Lease shall terminate with respect to the Property or the applicable portions thereof affected by such transaction except with respect to obligations and liabilities of the Lessee (actual or contingent) (i) under Section 8 hereof, and (ii) which have arisen with respect to the Property on or prior to such date of purchase, and except as elsewhere provided herein.
(c) If less than all of the Property is purchased, this Lease shall remain in full force and effect as to the remaining portions of the Property, and the Net Rent shall be adjusted as provided for on Exhibit "A".

No failure of the Company to give the foregoing notices or defect therein shall limit any holder's right to exercise a repurchase right or affect the validity of the proceedings for the repurchase of Notes. If any of the foregoing provisions are inconsistent with applicable law, such law shall govern.
(b) To exercise a repurchase right, a holder shall deliver to the Trustee on or before the close of business on the thirty-fifth (35th) day after the Company Notice was mailed (i) written notice to the Company (or agent designated by the Company for such purpose) of the holder's exercise of such right in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit C (the "Repurchase Notice"), which Repurchase Notice shall set forth the name of the holder, the principal amount of the Notes to be repurchased, a statement that an election to exercise the repurchase right is being made thereby, and (ii) the Notes with respect to which the repurchase right is being exercised, duly endorsed for transfer to the Company.

(c) If the Company fails to repurchase on the repurchase date any Notes (or portions thereof) as to which the repurchase right has been properly exercised, then the principal of such Notes shall, until paid, bear interest to the extent permitted by applicable law from the repurchase date at the rate borne by the Note and each such Note shall be convertible into Common Stock in accordance with this Indenture (without giving effect to Section 16.2(b)) until the principal of such Note shall have been paid or duly provided for.
(d) Any Note that is to be repurchased only in part shall be surrendered to the Trustee duly endorsed for transfer to the Company and accompanied by appropriate evidence of genuineness and authority satisfactory to the Company and the Trustee duly executed by, the holder thereof (or his attorney duly authorized in writing), and the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the holder of such Note without service charge, a new Note or Notes, containing identical terms and conditions, of any authorized denomination as requested by such holder in aggregate principal amount equal to and in exchange for the unrepurchased portion of the principal of the Note so surrendered.
(e) On or prior to 1:00 p.m., New York City time on the Repurchase Date, the Company shall deposit with the Trustee or with a paying agent (or, if the Company is acting as its own paying agent, segregate and hold in trust as provided in Section 5.4) the Repurchase Price and Additional Repurchase Amount, if any, in cash for payment to the holder on the repurchase date.
(f) If the Company is unable to repurchase on the repurchase date all of the Notes (or portions thereof) as to which the repurchase right has been properly exercised, the aggregate amount of Notes the Company may repurchase shall be allocated pro rata among each Note (or portion thereof) surrendered for repurchase, based on the principal amount of such Note, in proportion to the aggregate amount of Notes surrendered for repurchase.
(g) All Notes delivered for repurchase shall be delivered to the Trustee to be canceled in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.8.
