Placement Agents The Purchaser will purchase the Subordinated Note(s) directly from the Company and not from the Placement Agents and understands that neither the Placement Agents nor any other broker or dealer have any obligation to make a market in the Subordinated Notes.
Step Placement When a reclassification action occurs, the justification for the action taken shall be provided in writing to the affected employee or employees. When an employee is reclassified to a position having a higher maximum regular base hourly rate, the employee’s pay shall be increased to the pay step amount which is at least, and closest to, 3 percent higher than the pay they received prior to the reclassification. When an employee is reclassified to a position having the same maximum regular base hourly rate, the employee’s pay step amount shall remain the same. When an employee is reclassified to a position having a lower maximum regular base hourly rate, the employee’s pay shall be decreased to the pay step amount closest to their present regular base hourly rate. However, when the employee’s regular base hourly rate of pay, prior to the reclassification, is greater than step 9 of the newly assigned pay grade, the employee’s regular base hourly rate of pay shall be frozen as of the date of the reclassification. The employee’s regular base hourly rate shall remain frozen until such time as step 9 of the pay grade assigned to the employee’s classification is equal to or greater than the employee’s frozen rate of pay. When that occurs, the employee shall be placed into step 9 of the new pay grade assigned to the employee’s classification. When a reclassification occurs in a multi-incumbent classification and incumbents compete for the classification, the salary placement shall be administered in the same manner as a promotion in Article 13, Section 3.
