Substantive Rights Sample Clauses

The Substantive Rights clause defines the key legal rights and entitlements granted to parties under an agreement. It typically outlines what each party is allowed to do, receive, or expect as a matter of contract, such as the right to use certain intellectual property, receive payment, or access services. By clearly specifying these rights, the clause ensures that both parties understand their core benefits and obligations, reducing ambiguity and helping to prevent disputes over what is contractually permitted or required.
Substantive Rights. In addition to the rights set forth in the Constitution and laws of the United States and in the Constitution and laws of the State of Washington and all rights retained by the people, the following shall be substantive rights of pupils in the school district: 1. The school district shall not deny any pupil equal educational opportunity or discriminate against any pupil because of national origin, race, religion, economic status, or sex. Furthermore, no pupil shall be denied such opportunity solely because of pregnancy, marital status, previous arrest, previous incarceration, or a physical, mental or sensory disability. 2. Pupils shall have the right of freedom of speech and of the press and the right to peaceably assemble and to petition the government and its representatives for a redress of grievances. 3. Pupils shall have the right to be secure in their person, papers, and effects against unreasonable searches and seizures. 4. No pupil shall be deprived of an equal educational opportunity by a school district without due process of law. 5. Pupils shall have the right to be free from unlawful interference in their pursuit of an education while in the custody of the school district. These rights are subject to the school district’s authority to make reasonable rules and regulations bearing a real and substantial relationship to the direct preservation of their own, their fellow pupils’ or the public’s health and safety, or for the maintenance of the educational process. All students shall submit to the reasonable discipline of the superintendent or his/her designee and refusal to comply with written policies, rules and regulations established for governing the school shall constitute cause for further discipline and suspension; however, no pupil shall be disciplined, suspended, or expelled except for sufficient cause. Students and parents have certain rights under 180-40-WAC regarding suspensions and expulsions. These rights and regulations are available in printed form at the Kalama School District office. For a printed definition of the criminal acts under the laws of the State of Washington, Cowlitz County, and the city of Kalama, as pertaining to discipline at the Kalama School District, please contact the Kalama Elementary School office.

  • Relative Rights This Article 10 defines the relative rights of Holders of Notes and holders of Senior Debt. Nothing in this Indenture shall: (i) impair, as between the Company and Holders of Notes, the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay principal of and interest on the Notes in accordance with their terms; (ii) affect the relative rights of Holders of Notes and creditors of the Company other than their rights in relation to holders of Senior Debt; or (iii) prevent the Trustee or any Holder of Notes from exercising its available remedies upon a Default or Event of Default, subject to the rights of holders and owners of Senior Debt to receive distributions and payments otherwise payable to Holders of Notes. If the Company fails because of this Article 10 to pay principal of or interest on a Note on the due date, the failure is still a Default or Event of Default.

  • Relative Rights and Preferences Unless the establishing resolution or any other resolution adopted pursuant to Section 2.3 or the Registration Statement otherwise provides, Shares of each Portfolio or Class thereof established hereunder shall have the following relative rights and preferences: (a) Except as set forth in paragraph (e) of this Section 2.5, each Share of a Portfolio, regardless of Class, shall represent an equal pro rata interest in the assets belonging to such Portfolio and shall have identical voting, dividend, liquidation and other rights, preferences, powers, restrictions, limitations, qualifications and designations and terms and conditions with each other Share of such Portfolio. (b) Shareholders shall have no preemptive or other right to subscribe to any additional Shares or other securities issued by the Trust or the Trustees, whether of the same or other Portfolio (or Class). (c) All consideration received by the Trust for the issue or sale of Shares of a particular Portfolio, together with all assets in which such consideration is invested or reinvested, all income, earnings, profits, and proceeds thereof, including any proceeds derived from the sale, exchange, or liquidation of such assets, and any funds or payments derived from any reinvestment of such proceeds in whatever form the same may be, shall be held in separate and distinct records and accounted for in such separate and distinct records separately from the other assets of the Trust and of every other Portfolio and may be referred to herein as “assets belonging to” that Portfolio. The assets belonging to a particular Portfolio shall belong to that Portfolio for all purposes, and to no other Portfolio, subject only to the rights of creditors of that Portfolio. In addition, any assets, income, earnings, profits or funds, or payments and proceeds with respect thereto, which are not readily identifiable as belonging to any particular Portfolio shall be allocated by the Trustees between and among one or more of the Portfolios in such manner as the Trustees, in their sole discretion, deem fair and equitable. Each such allocation shall be conclusive and binding upon the Shareholders of all Portfolios thereof for all purposes, and such assets, income, earnings, profits, or funds, or payments and proceeds with respect thereto shall be assets belonging to that Portfolio. (d) Each Class of a Portfolio shall have a proportionate undivided interest (as determined by or at the direction of, or pursuant to authority granted by, the Trustees, consistent with industry practice) (“Proportionate Interest”) in the net assets belonging to that Portfolio. References herein to assets, expenses, charges, costs, and reserves “allocable” or “allocated” to a particular Class of a Portfolio shall mean the aggregate amount of such item(s) of the Portfolio multiplied by the Class’s Proportionate Interest. (e) A particular Portfolio shall be charged with the liabilities of that Portfolio, and all expenses, costs, charges and reserves attributable to any particular Portfolio shall be borne by such Portfolio; provided that the Trustees may, in their sole discretion, allocate or authorize the allocation of particular expenses, costs, charges, and/or reserves of a Portfolio to fewer than all the Classes thereof. Class Expenses shall, in all cases, be allocated to the Class for which such Class Expenses were incurred. Any general liabilities, expenses, costs, charges or reserves of the Trust (or any Portfolio) that are not readily identifiable as chargeable to or bearable by any particular Portfolio (or any particular Class) shall be allocated and charged by the Trustees between or among any one or more of the Portfolios (or Classes) in such manner as the Trustees in their sole discretion deem fair and equitable. Each such allocation shall be conclusive and binding upon the Shareholders of all Portfolios (or Classes) for all purposes. Without limitation of the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.5(e), (i) the debts, liabilities, obligations and expenses incurred, contracted for or otherwise existing with respect to a particular Portfolio shall be enforceable against the assets of such Portfolio only, and not against the assets of the Trust generally or assets belonging to any other Portfolio, and (ii) none of the debts, liabilities, obligations and expenses incurred, contracted for or otherwise existing with respect to the Trust generally that have not been allocated to a specified Portfolio, or with respect to any other Portfolio, shall be enforceable against the assets of such specified Portfolio. Notice of this contractual limitation on inter-Portfolio liabilities is set forth in the Trust’s Certificate of Trust described in Section 1.4, and, accordingly, the statutory provisions of Section 3804 of the Delaware Act relating to limitations on inter-Portfolio liabilities (and the statutory effect under Section 3804 of setting forth such notice in the Certificate of Trust) are applicable to the Trust and each Portfolio. (f) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, no dividend or distribution on the Shares of any Portfolio, including any distribution paid in connection with termination of the Trust or such Portfolio or any Class of such Portfolio, nor any redemption or repurchase of, the Shares of such Portfolio or Class shall be effected by the Trust other than from the assets held with respect to such Portfolio, nor shall any Shareholder of any particular Portfolio otherwise have any right or claim against the assets held with respect to any other Portfolio except to the extent that such Shareholder has such a right or claim hereunder as a Shareholder of such other Portfolio. (g) Except as provided for in Section 2.9, Shares redeemed or repurchased by a Portfolio or the Trust shall be deemed to be canceled. (h) Any Trustee, officer or other agent of the Trust, and any organization in which any such Person has an economic or other interest, may acquire, own, hold and dispose of Shares in the Trust, whether such Shares are authorized but unissued, or already outstanding, to the same extent as if such Person were not a Trustee, officer or other agent of the Trust; and the Trust may issue and sell and may purchase such Shares from any such Person or any such organization, subject to the limitations, restrictions or other provisions applicable to the sale or purchase of such shares herein, the 1940 Act and other applicable law. (i) The Trust may issue Shares in fractional denominations of 1/1000th of a Share or integral multiples thereof to the same extent as its whole Shares, and Shares in fractional denominations shall be Shares having proportionately to the respective fractions represented thereby all the rights of whole Shares of the same Portfolio (or Class), including without limitation, the right to vote, the right to receive dividends and distributions and the right to participate upon termination of the Trust or any Portfolio. (j) The Trustees shall have the authority to provide that the Shareholders of any Portfolio or Class shall have the right to exchange such Shares for Shares of one or more other Portfolio or Class of Shares or for interests in one or more trusts, corporations or other business entities (or a portfolio or series or class of any of the foregoing) in accordance with such requirements and procedures as may be established by the Trustees. All references to Shares in this Agreement shall be deemed to be shares of any or all Portfolios, or Classes thereof, as the context may require. All provisions herein relating to the Trust shall apply equally to each Portfolio of the Trust, and each Class thereof, except as the context otherwise requires.

  • Preemptive Rights (a) In the event that the Purchaser Beneficially Owns at least 20% of the aggregate number of shares of NewCo Common Stock then outstanding, if NewCo engages in any transaction involving the direct or indirect sale or issuance of Covered Securities by NewCo and such sale or issuance would cause the Purchaser to Beneficially Own less than 20% of the aggregate number of outstanding shares of NewCo Common Stock immediately following such sale or issuance, the Purchaser will be afforded the opportunity to acquire from NewCo, for the same price and on the same terms as such Covered Securities are offered, up to an amount (the “Amount”) necessary to enable the Purchaser to own 20% of the aggregate number of outstanding shares of NewCo Common Stock immediately following such sale or issuance; provided, that, if the transaction at issue is an acquisition, merger or other business combination involving a Third Party by NewCo in which NewCo issues or sells Covered Securities as consideration for the transaction, such Covered Securities shall be deemed to be offered at the per share purchase price implied from the transaction terms as of the time of entry into the agreement for such transaction; provided, further, that, if such per share purchase price is not reasonably ascertainable, the per share purchase price shall be deemed to be the trading price of the NewCo Common Stock at the close of the business on the day immediately prior to the public disclosure or announcement of such transaction. (b) If NewCo proposes to engage in a transaction involving the direct or indirect sale or issuance of Covered Securities described in Section 8.12(a) above, NewCo will first submit written notice (the “Notice of Preemptive Rights”) to the Purchaser disclosing the terms of the proposed sale or issuance transaction (which notice will set forth all material terms, including price, number of securities or aggregate principal amount, as applicable, and the type of securities to be sold or issued). The Notice of Preemptive Rights will include an offer to the Purchaser to purchase up to the Purchaser’s Amount of such Covered Securities on terms and conditions, including price, not less favorable to the Purchaser than those on which NewCo proposes to sell such Covered Securities to the third party or parties. Such offer as set forth in the Notice of Preemptive Rights will remain open for a period of at least 15 Business Days after the Notice of Preemptive Rights is delivered, prior to the expiration of which period the Purchaser may accept such offer by written notice to NewCo setting forth the number of Covered Securities that the Purchaser intends to purchase. The consummation of such purchase by the Purchaser shall be conditioned on the simultaneous or prior consummation of the sale described in the Notice of Preemptive Rights. Nothing herein shall prohibit NewCo’s consummation of the sale set forth in the Notice of Preemptive Rights to third parties prior to the sale of Covered Securities to the Purchaser hereunder as long as NewCo has provided Purchaser the required notice hereunder and the Purchaser is simultaneously with or promptly after such consummation provided the opportunity to purchase the amount of Covered Securities that it would have been entitled to purchase if such issuance had occurred at the same time. (c) Any Covered Securities covered by a Notice of Preemptive Rights which are not purchased by the Purchaser pursuant to Section 8.12(b) may be sold by NewCo to a third party or parties at any time within 180 days following the expiration of the 15 Business Day period specified in Section 8.12(b); provided that each of the price and the other terms and conditions of such sale are not more favorable to such third parties than as set forth in the Notice of Preemptive Rights. For the avoidance of doubt, any sale or issuance of Covered Securities other than in compliance with this Section 8.12(c) will require delivery of a new Notice of Preemptive Rights.

  • No Adverse Interpretation of Other Agreements This Indenture may not be used to interpret any other indenture, loan or debt agreement of the Company or its Subsidiaries or of any other Person. Any such indenture, loan or debt agreement may not be used to interpret this Indenture.

  • Pre-emptive Rights If the Corporation is to issue any Additional Shares, the Corporation shall first offer such Additional Shares to all Shareholders by notice given to them of the Corporation’s intention to issue Additional Shares, the number thereof to be so issued and the issue price per Additional Share. The Shareholders shall have the right to purchase the Additional Shares so offered at the issue price per Additional Share set forth in such notice, pro rata based upon the number of Common Shares held by the Shareholders at the date such notice is given. Each Shareholder shall have 20 Business Days from the date such notice is given in which to notify the Corporation in writing that such Shareholder wishes to purchase all or any of the Additional Shares so offered at such issue price per Additional Share which notice will specify either that the Shareholder is electing to take up and pay for all of the Additional Shares offered to it or the number or portion of the Additional Shares offered to it that the Shareholder wishes to purchase and upon receipt of such notice by the Corporation a binding contract for the sale and purchase of the Shares referred to in such notice will be deemed to be formed between such Shareholder and the Corporation. If either Shareholder advises the Corporation in writing that it will not be exercising its right to acquire all of the Additional Shares offered to it, does not exercise such right to acquire all of the Additional Shares offered to it within the time stipulated in this section 4.1 or exercises such right in respect of less than all of the Additional Shares offered to it, the Corporation will, following expiry of the foregoing 20 Business Day period, offer by notice given to the Shareholder who elected to take up and pay for all of the Additional Shares initially offered to it, the Additional Shares in respect of which the other Shareholder has not exercised its rights to acquire, and such Shareholder shall have the right to purchase the Additional Shares so offered at such issue price per Additional Share. The Shareholder shall have 10 Business Days from the date such subsequent notice is given in which to notify the Corporation in writing that such Shareholder wishes to purchase all or any of the Additional Shares so offered at such issue price per Additional Share which notice will specify either that the Shareholder is electing to take up and pay for all of the Additional Shares offered to it or the number or portion of the Additional Shares offered to it that the Shareholder wishes to purchase and upon receipt of such notice by the Corporation a binding contract for the sale and purchase of the Shares referred to in such notice will be deemed to be formed between such Shareholder and the Corporation. After the expiration of such period of 20 Business Days or 10 Business Days, as applicable, the Additional Shares not so taken up by the Shareholders may be issued to such Persons who are not Shareholders of the Corporation at such issue price per Additional Share provided in the notice, provided that all such Additional Shares must be issued within 100 days from the date such notice is given and such Persons to whom Additional Shares are so issued agree to be bound by this Agreement and to become parties hereto.
