transfer, layoff, termination, rate of pay or other forms of
compensation, and selections for training or retraining, including
apprenticeship and on-the-job training.

sex, sexual orientation, age, disability or marital status and that such
union or representative will cooperate in the implementation of the
corporation's obligations hereunder.

3. The corporation shall state, in all solicitations or advertisements
for employees placed by or on behalf of the corporation, that all
qualified applicants will be afforded equal employment opportunity
without discrimination because of race, creed, color, national origin,
sex, sexual orientation, age, disability or marital status.

4. The corporation shall seek meaningful participation by minority
business enterprises in the programs of the corporation and shall
actively and affirmatively promote and assist their participation in the
corporation's programs, so as to facilitate the award of a fair share of
contracts to such enterprises. For purposes hereof, "minority business
enterprise" shall mean any business enterprise which is at least

business, at least fifty-one per centum of the stock of which is owned
by, citizens or permanent resident noncitizens who are Black, Hispanic,
