Payment for Unused Sick Leave (a) An employee with less than ten (10) years of FIU service who separates from FIU shall not be paid for any unused sick leave.
(b) An employee who has completed ten (10) or more years of FIU service, has not been found guilty or has not admitted to being guilty of committing, aiding, or abetting any embezzlement, theft, or bribery in connection with State government, or has not been found guilty by a court of competent jurisdiction of having violated any State law against or prohibiting strikes by public employees, and separates from FIU because of retirement for other than disability reasons, termination, or death, shall be compensated at the employee's current regular hourly rate of pay for one-eighth of all unused sick leave accrued prior to October 1, 1973, plus one- fourth of all unused sick leave accrued on or after October 1, 1973; provided that one-fourth of the unused sick leave since 1973 does not exceed 480 hours. The compensation in this paragraph 8(4)(b) shall not be given to an employee who starts employment at FIU on or after July 1, 2006.
(c) Upon layoff, an employee with ten (10) or more years of FIU service shall be paid for unused sick leave as described in paragraph b., above, unless the employee requests in writing that unused sick leave be retained pending re-employment. For an employee who is re-employed by the University within twelve (12) calendar months following layoff, all unused sick leave shall be restored to the employee, provided the employee requests such action in writing and repays the full amount of any lump sum leave payments received at the time of layoff. An employee who is not re- employed within twelve (12) calendar months following layoff shall be paid for sick leave in accordance with this Policy.
(d) All payments for unused sick leave shall be made in lump sum and shall not be used in determining the average final compensation of an employee in any State administered retirement system. An employee shall not be carried on the payroll beyond the last official day of employment, except that an employee who is unable to perform duties because of a disability may be continued on the payroll until all sick leave is exhausted.
(e) If an employee has received a lump sum payment for accrued sick leave, the employee may elect in writing, upon re-employment within 100 days, to restore the employee's accrued sick leave. Restoration will be effective upon the repayment of the full lump sum leave payment.
(f) In the event of the death of an employee, payment for unused sick leave at the time of death shall be made to the employee's beneficiary, estate, or as provided by law.
Adjustments to Conversion Price (a) If the Company shall at any time while this Debenture is outstanding subdivide the outstanding shares of its Common Stock, the Conversion Price then in effect immediately before that subdivision shall be proportionately decreased, and if the Company shall at any time while this Debenture is outstanding combine the outstanding shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Price then in effect immediately before that combination shall be proportionately increased. Except as otherwise provided below, any adjustment under this Section 5.3 shall become effective at the close of business on the date the subdivision or combination becomes effective. A dividend on any security of the Company payable in Common Stock, or a split of the Company's Common Stock, shall be considered a subdivision of Common Stock for purposes of this Section 5.3 at the close of business on the record date with respect to such dividend or stock split. A reverse split of the Company's Common Stock shall be considered a combination of Common Stock for purposes of this Section 5.3 at the close of business on the record date with respect to such reverse stock split.
(b) In the event the Company, at any time or from time to time while this Debenture is outstanding, shall make or issue, or fix a record date for the determination of holders of Common Stock entitled to receive, a dividend or other distribution with respect to the Company's Common Stock payable in securities of the Company other than shares of Common Stock, then and in each such event, provisions shall be made so that the Holder shall receive upon conversion hereof, in addition to the number of shares of Common Stock receivable thereupon, the amount of securities of the Company which he would have received had this Debenture been converted into Common Stock on the date of such event and had the Holder thereafter, during the period from the date of such event to and including the conversion date, retained such securities receivable by him.
(c) If while this Debenture is outstanding, the Shares issuable upon conversion of this Debenture shall be changed into the same or a different number of shares of any other class or classes of stock of the Company, whether by recapitalization, reclassification or other exchange (other than a subdivision or combination of shares, or a capital reorganization, merger or sale of assets, provided for elsewhere in this Section 5.3), the Holder shall, upon the conversion of this Debenture, be entitled to receive, in lieu of the Shares which the Holder would have become entitled to receive but for such change, a number of shares of such other class or classes of stock that would have been subject to receipt by the Holder if he had exercised his right of conversion of this Debenture immediately before that change.
(d) If while this Debenture is outstanding, there shall be a merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another corporation (other than a merger which does not result in any reclassification, conversion, exchange or cancellation of outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company), or the sale of all or substantially all of the Company's properties and assets to any other person, then, as a part of such merger, consolidation or sale, lawful provision shall be made so that the Holder shall thereafter be entitled to receive upon conversion of this Debenture, during the period specified in this Debenture, the number of shares of stock or other securities or property of the Company, or of the successor corporation resulting from such merger, consolidation or sale, to which a holder of the Shares deliverable upon conversion of this Debenture would have been entitled on such merger, consolidation or sale if this Debenture had been converted immediately before such merger, consolidation or sale. In any such case, appropriate adjustment shall be made in the application of the provisions of this Section 5.3 with respect to the rights of the Holder after such merger, consolidation or sale to the end that the provisions of this Section 5.3 (including adjustments of the Conversion Price then in effect and number of shares purchasable upon conversion of this Debenture) shall continue to be applicable after that event and shall be as nearly equivalent to the provisions hereof as may be practicable.
(e) The Company shall promptly and in any case not later than ten (10) days after the date of any adjustment of the Conversion Price give written notice of such adjustment and the number of Shares or other securities issuable upon conversion of this Debenture, by first-class mail, postage prepaid, to the registered Holder at the Holder's address as shown on the Debenture Register. The certificate shall state such adjustment and show in reasonable detail the facts on which such adjustment is based.
(f) The form of this Debenture need not be changed because of any adjustment in the Conversion Price or in the number of Shares issuable upon its conversion. A Debenture issued after any adjustment on any partial conversion or upon replacement may continue to express the same Conversion Price and the same number of Shares (appropriately reduced in the case of partial conversion) as are stated on this Debenture as initially issued, and that Conversion Price and that number of Shares shall be considered to have been so changed as of the close of business on the date of the adjustment.
