Fair Share Fee 1. The Board agrees to automatic payroll deduction, as a condition of employment, of a fair share fee amount as designated by the Association from all bargaining unit members who elect not to become members of the Association, or who elect not to remain members.
2. The Treasurer of the Board shall, upon notification from the Association that a member has terminated membership, commence the check-off of the fair share fee with respect to the former member, and the amount of the fee yet to be deducted shall be the annual membership dues less the amount previously paid through payroll deduction.
3. Payroll deduction of such fair share fee shall commence with the first payroll on or after January 15th of each school year.
4. Dues rates and fair share fee rates shall be transmitted by the Association to the Treasurer of the Board for the purpose of determining amounts to be payroll deducted, and the Board agrees to promptly transmit all amounts deducted to the Association.
5. The Board further agrees to accompany each such transmittal with a list of names of bargaining unit members for whom all such deductions were made, the period covered, and the amounts deducted for each.
6. Upon timely demand, non-members may appeal to the Association the payment of the fair share fee pursuant to the internal rebate procedure adopted by the Association, or such non-members may submit each appeal as provided by law.
7. The amount to be deducted from the pay of all non-Association members shall be the total dues as paid by members of the Association, and such deductions shall continue through the remaining number of payroll periods over which Association membership dues are deducted.
8. The Association agrees to indemnify the Board for any cost of liability incurred as a result of the implementation and enforcement of this provision provided that:
a. The Board shall give a ten (10) day written notice of any claim or action filed against the employer by a non-member for which indemnification may be claimed;
b. The Association shall reserve the right to designate counsel to represent and defend the employer;
c. The Board agrees to 1) give full and complete cooperation and assistance to the Association and its counsel at all levels of the proceeding, 2) permit the Association or its affiliates to intervene as a party if it so desires, and/or 3) not oppose the Association or its affiliates’ application to file an amicus curiae brief in the action;
d. The action brought against the Board must be a direct consequence of the Board’s good faith compliance with the fair share fee provision of the collective bargaining Agreement herein; however, there shall be no indemnification of the Board if the Board intentionally or willfully fails to apply (except due to court order) or misapplies such fair share fee provision herein.
9. The above fair share fee provisions shall be an exclusive right of the Association not granted to any other employee organization seeking to represent employees in the bargaining unit represented by the Association.
10. The Association and its state and national affiliates shall amend their internal rebate procedures to comply with the constitutional requirements of the current law and any subsequent decisions of a court of competent jurisdiction.
Fair Share Each teacher, as a condition for his/her employment, on or before thirty (30) days from the date of commencement of duties or the effective date of this Agreement, whichever is later, will join the Association or pay a fair share fee to the Association which will be a proportionate amount of the dues required of members of the Association, including local, state, and national dues.
1. In the event that the teacher does not pay his/her fair share fee directly to the Association, the Board will deduct the fair share fee from the wages of the non- member in the same manner as the deductions are made for members.
2. Such fee will be paid to the Association by the Board no later than ten (10) days following the deduction. The purpose of this fair share fee is for deferring the cost of services rendered by the Association to non-members. These costs include, but are not limited to, the negotiation and administration of this Agreement. The Association will, on a yearly basis, certify the amount of the fair share fee. The certification must be written and signed by the President of the Association and must include a financial breakdown of the fair share fee. No teacher will be required to pay the fee, nor will the Board be required to deduct the fee, until the certification document is submitted. In addition, the Association will certify to the Board that "Notice of Fair Share" has been given in accordance with the IELRB rules and regulations. No payroll deductions of fair share fees will be made by the Board until at least fourteen (14) days after such certification. The following restrictions which are mandated by law will be observed:
1. The fair share fee will not exceed the amount of dues normally charged to Association members.
2. The fair share fee will not include any costs or contributions related to elections or political purposes.
3. The non-members who object to the fair share fee on bona fide religious grounds are excused from payment to the Association but must pay the amount of the fair share fee to a non-religious charitable organization mutually agreed upon by the non-members and the Association. If the non-member and the Association do not agree, the non-member will select a charity from the list developed by the Illinois Educational Labor Relations Board. In the event of any legal action against the Board, its members, officers, agents, and teachers brought in a court or administrative agency because of compliance with this fair share provision, the Association agrees to defend such action, at its own expense and through its own counsel, provided:
1. Except in actions filed with the Illinois Labor Relations Board, the Board will give immediate notice of such action in writing to the Association, and permits the Association intervention as a party if it so desires, and
2. In any action, no matter where filed, the Board will give full and complete cooperation to the Association and its counsel in securing and giving evidence, obtaining witnesses, and making relevant information available at both trial and all appellate levels. The Association will indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the Board, its members, officers, agents, and employees from and against any and all claims, demands, actions, com- plaints, suits, or other forms of liability or loss including, but not limited to, damages, attorneys' fees, and costs that will arise out of or by reason of action taken by the Board for the purpose of complying with the above provisions of this clause, or in reliance on any list, notice, certification, affidavit, or assignment furnished under any such provisions.
Up-Front Payment At all times during the Effective Period other than those periods for which payment of all Billed Amounts is By Invoice, Customer shall maintain on file with 8x8 or the billing 8x8 Affiliate (as applicable) complete, accurate, and up-to-date information for at least one valid, working credit card or Customer account (sufficient to permit ACH withdrawals). Payment of all Billed Amounts – other than those for which 8x8 has agreed to payment By Invoice – shall be by charge to such credit card(s) or by ACH withdrawal from such account(s), at or near time of billing, and Customer hereby authorizes 8x8 to make such charges or withdrawals. Where payment is by such charge or withdrawal, (a) 8x8 shall post a statement of the Billed Amounts in the relevant account at or near the time of the first attempted charge or withdrawal and shall thereafter make commercially reasonable efforts to notify Customer by email and/or telephone if the charge or withdrawal is not successful and (b) Billed Amounts shall be due within fourteen (14) days of such posting.
Earn-Out Payments (i) Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the WME Member or the Company, as applicable, are the obligors in respect of a portion of the Earn-Out Payment. Subject to Section 7.03(g)(ii), the Earn-Out Payments may be funded in any of the following manners (or any combination thereof) as determined by unanimous Board approval (provided that if unanimous Board approval is not obtained, the WME Member or the Company, as applicable, shall nevertheless be permitted to comply with their respective obligations to the Earn-Out Recipients under the Purchase Agreement): (A) for so long as the January Capital Member is a Member, a special cash distribution by the Company to the January Capital Member in consideration of that portion of the Earn-Out Payment due to the January Capital Member, (B) a cash distribution to all Common Members on a pro rata basis to enable the Common Members (other than the Class B Members) to make Earn-Out Payments to the Earn-Out Recipients (provided that all such Common Members shall be required to make such Earn-Out Payment following receipt of such distribution), (C) a special cash distribution by the Company to the WME Member to fund Earn-Out Payments by the WME Member to the Earn-Out Recipients (provided that the WME Member shall be required to make such Earn-Out Payment following receipt of such distribution), and (D) funding by the WME Member (and to the extent agreed to by the Sponsor Members, the Sponsor Members) for Earn-Out Payments to the Earn-Out Recipients.
(ii) The Earn-Out Payments shall be subject to the following rules: (A) Earn-Out Payments to the January Capital Member will, to the extent permitted under the terms of any indebtedness and Senior Equity of the Company and its Subsidiaries and Annex A, and to the extent the WME Directors reasonably determine (after meaningful consultation with the full Board) that doing so would not have an adverse impact on the Company or its Subsidiaries, for so long as the January Capital Member is a Member, be distributed by the Company to the January Capital Member (subject, in each case, to clause (B) below) (provided that, for purposes of clarification, the January Capital Member shall not lose or waive its right to receive unpaid Earn-Out Payments solely because it ceases to be a Member; provided further that, if the Company is prohibited under the terms of any indebtedness or Senior Equity of the Company or its Subsidiaries or Annex A, or the Board otherwise determines that doing so would have an adverse impact on the Company or its Subsidiaries, and accordingly does not distribute Earn-Out Payments to the January Capital Member in accordance with this clause (A), then the January Capital Member shall have the right, but not the obligation, to elect in writing to defer the payment of such Earn-Out Payment for a period of up to 24 months (the “Outside Earn-Out Payment Date”); provided further that the deferred Earn-Out Payment will be made to the January Capital Member on the earliest to occur of (A) the date on which the deferred Earn-Out Payment may be made by the Company in accordance with, and subject to the terms and conditions of, this clause (A), (2) the date specified in writing by the January Capital Member (provided the January Capital Member provides written notice to the WME Member at least 60 days prior to the date on which the January Capital Member would like to receive the deferred Earn-Out Payment if such date is prior to the Outside Earn-Out Payment Date) and (3) the Outside Earn-Out Payment Date, (B) the Class B Members shall be grossed up so that they do not bear the effect of any Dilutive Adjustment (as defined below) or the Economic Cost of any Earn-Out Payments that are funded by distributions by the Company, (C) the Class B Members shall not bear any dilution arising from (x) the issuance of any Units that are issued in connection with the Earn-Out Payments or (y) any adjustment to the exercise price (a “Dilutive Adjustment”) of any securities or other interests convertible into Equity Securities of the Company resulting from any gross-up or true-up payment made in connection with, or that constitutes, any Earn-Out Payment, and (D) if any portion of the Earn-Out Payments are paid pursuant to clause (D) of Section 7.03(g)(i) by the WME Member and, if applicable, any Sponsor Members, the WME Member and such Sponsor Members (if any), will be issued Class A Common Units in respect of the amounts so paid thereby pursuant to such clause (D) at a price to be unanimously determined by the Board, which shall in no event be greater than Fair Market Value; provided, that if the Board does not unanimously agree on the price per Class A Common Unit, such Class A Common Units will be issued at Fair Market Value, as unanimously determined by the Board; provided, further, that if the Board does not unanimously agree on Fair Market Value, such value shall be determined by an investment banking firm of national reputation selected by the WME Member and reasonably acceptable to the SL Member, the KKR Member and the Company, whose expenses shall be borne by the Company.
(iii) Solely for purposes of this Section 7.03(g), “Economic Cost”, means, with respect to a Class B Member, such Member’s direct or indirect Percentage Interest of any Company cash or other Company asset that is distributed in a non-pro rata distribution to fund all or any portion of any Earn-Out Payment; provided, that, “Economic Cost” shall not include any diminution in value, lost profits or similar cost not relating to the immediate economic effect of the applicable non-pro-rata distribution.
Tax Gross-Up Amount Developer’s liability for the cost consequences of any current tax liability under this Article 5.17 shall be calculated on a fully grossed-up basis. Except as may otherwise be agreed to by the parties, this means that Developer will pay Connecting Transmission Owner, in addition to the amount paid for the Attachment Facilities and System Upgrade Facilities and System Deliverability Upgrades, an amount equal to (1) the current taxes imposed on Connecting Transmission Owner (“Current Taxes”) on the excess of (a) the gross income realized by Connecting Transmission Owner as a result of payments or property transfers made by Developer to Connecting Transmission Owner under this Agreement (without regard to any payments under this Article 5.17) (the “Gross Income Amount”) over (b) the present value of future tax deductions for depreciation that will be available as a result of such payments or property transfers (the “Present Value Depreciation Amount”), plus (2) an additional amount sufficient to permit the Connecting Transmission Owner to receive and retain, after the payment of all Current Taxes, an amount equal to the net amount described in clause (1). For this purpose, (i) Current Taxes shall be computed based on Connecting Transmission Owner’s composite federal and state tax rates at the time the payments or property transfers are received and Connecting Transmission Owner will be treated as being subject to tax at the highest marginal rates in effect at that time (the “Current Tax Rate”), and (ii) the Present Value Depreciation Amount shall be computed by discounting Connecting Transmission Owner’s anticipated tax depreciation deductions as a result of such payments or property transfers by Connecting Transmission Owner’s current weighted average cost of capital. Thus, the formula for calculating Developer’s liability to Connecting Transmission Owner pursuant to this Article
