Retirement Incentive 1. For a Bargaining Unit Member to qualify for this program, he/she must be a full time (30 or more hours per week) employee in the Hononegah Community High School District #207 for a period of not less than twenty (20) years prior to the date of retirement. Any Bargaining Unit Member for whom the district must pay any additional amount as a penalty to IMRF so that such an employee may benefit from the “IMRF” Early Retirement Incentive Program” will not be eligible to receive any payment as part of this retirement incentive program. No later than thirty (30) days prior to the intended date of retirement from the school district, the Bargaining Unit Member must submit a formal letter of retirement indicating his/her intent to retire from the public school systems of Illinois under the provisions of the Illinois Municipal Retirement Fund. Upon meeting the above eligibility requirements, any Bargaining Unit Member who qualifies for this Retirement Incentive Program shall be paid a monetary incentive calculated as follows: The total amount of the incentive shall be equal to Twenty-Five Percent (25%) of the base wages plus overtime for each of the “base years.” The base years shall be the most recent complete fiscal year worked by the Bargaining Unit Member prior to providing an irrevocable letter of retirement, as described below. [Example: Employee A provides an irrevocable letter of retirement on March 1, 2014. Employee A’s incentive shall be 25% of total base wages for the 2012-2013 fiscal year including overtime because the 2012-2013 fiscal is the latest complete year worked.] The incentive will be paid in increments described below, based upon the timing of the notice. If a Bargaining Unit Member gives 30-days’ notice of retirement, the Bargaining Unit Member may receive a post-retirement bonus of 25% of his salary of the latest complete year worked. This bonus will be paid 30 days after the Bargaining Unit Member’s last day of work or receipt of final paycheck, whichever is later. The post-retirement payment shall not be considered IMRF creditable earnings nor shall it be considered due or payable during the course of the Bargaining Unit Member’s employment with the District. A Bargaining Unit Member may provide notice up to four (4) years prior to retiring. If an irrevocable notice of retirement is received before July 1st of the Bargaining Unit Member’s final work year, then the Bargaining Unit Member shall receive Six Percent (6%) of the Twenty-Five Percent (25%) incentive in the final year of employment and shall receive the balance of the incentive no later than thirty (30) days after the Bargaining Unit Member’s last day of work or receipt of final paycheck, whichever is later. The post-retirement payment shall not be considered IMRF creditable earnings nor shall it be considered due or payable during the course of the Bargaining Unit Member’s employment with the District. In no case shall a Bargaining Unit Member’s IMRF creditable earnings exceed 106% of the prior year’s creditable earnings. Accordingly, any amount of the retirement incentive exceeding a six percent (6%) increase over the prior year’s earnings shall be paid the excess amount as part of the post-retirement payment and not as creditable earnings. [Example: Employee B’s base wages for the base year were $20,000.00. The total incentive is $5,000.00 (25% of the base wages for the base year). Employee B provides notice on June 1, 2014, of intent to retire effective June 30, 2015. During the 2014-2015 fiscal year, the employee receives a normal pay increase equal to $400.00. During the 2014-2015 fiscal year, Employee B shall receive additional compensation of $800.00. Employee B shall also receive a post- retirement payment of $4,200.00.] If an irrevocable notice of retirement is received before July 1st of the Bargaining Unit Member’s final two (2) work years, then the Bargaining Unit Member shall receive Six Percent (6%) of the Twenty-Five Percent (25%) incentive in each of the final two (2) years of employment, and shall receive the balance of the incentive no later than thirty (30) days after the Bargaining Unit Member’s last day of work or receipt of final paycheck, whichever is later. The post-retirement payment shall not be considered IMRF creditable earnings nor shall it be considered due or payable during the course of the Bargaining Unit Member’s employment with the District. In no case shall a Bargaining Unit Member’s IMRF creditable earnings exceed 106% of the prior year’s creditable earnings. Accordingly, any amount of the retirement incentive exceeding a six percent (6%) increase over the prior year’s earnings shall be paid the excess amount as part of the post- retirement payment and not as creditable earnings. [Example: Employee B’s Base wages for the base year were $20,000.00. Her total incentive is $5,000.00 (25% of the base wages for the base year). Employee B provides notice on June 1, 2014, of intent to retire effective June 30, 2016. During the 2014-2015 and 2015-2016 fiscal years, the employee receives normal pay increases equal to $400.00. During the 2014-2015 fiscal year, Employee B shall receive additional compensation of $800.00. During the 2015-2016 fiscal year, Employee B shall receive additional compensation of $800.00. Employee B shall also receive a post-retirement payment of $3,400.00] If an irrevocable notice of retirement is received before July 1st of the Bargaining Unit Member’s final three (3) work years, then the Bargaining Unit Member shall receive Six Percent (6%) of the Twenty-Five Percent (25%) incentive in each of the final three (3) years of employment, and shall receive the balance of the incentive no later than thirty (30) days after the Bargaining Unit Member’s last day of work or receipt of final paycheck, whichever is later. The post-retirement payment shall not be considered IMRF creditable earnings nor shall it be considered due or payable during the course of the Bargaining Unit Member’s employment with the District. In no case shall a Bargaining Unit Member’s IMRF creditable earnings exceed 106% of the prior year’s creditable earnings. Accordingly, any amount of the retirement incentive exceeding a six percent (6%) increase over the prior year’s earnings shall be paid the excess amount as part of the post- retirement payment and not as creditable earnings. [Example: Employee B’s base wages for the base year were $20,000.00. Her total incentive is $5,000.00 (25% of the base wages for the base year). Employee B provides notice on June 1, 2014, of intent to retire effective June 30, 2017. During the 2014-2015, 2015-2016, and 2016- 2017 fiscal years, the employee receives normal pay increases equal to $400.00. During the 2014-2015 fiscal year, Employee B shall receive additional compensation of $800.00. During the 2015-2016 fiscal year, Employee B shall receive additional compensation of $800.00. During the 2016-2017 fiscal year, Employee B shall receive additional compensation of $800.00. Employee B shall also receive a post-retirement payment of $2,600.00.] If an irrevocable notice of retirement is received before July 1st of the Bargaining Unit Member’s final four (4) work years, then the Bargaining Unit Member shall receive Six Percent (6%) of the Twenty-Five Percent (25%) incentive in each of the final four (4) years of employment, and shall receive the balance of the incentive no later than thirty (30) days after the Bargaining Unit Member’s last day of work or receipt of final paycheck, whichever is later. The post-retirement payment shall not be considered IMRF creditable earnings nor shall it be considered due or payable during the course of the Bargaining Unit Member’s employment with the District. In no case shall a Bargaining Unit Member’s IMRF creditable earnings exceed 106% of the prior year’s creditable earnings.

Stock Option Subject to approval by the Board, the Company will grant Executive, during the fourth calendar quarter of 2015 (and subject to Executive’s continued employment with the Company through the grant date), under the Company’s 2015 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), an incentive stock option to purchase 130,444 shares of Company common stock (an “Option”), with an exercise price equal to $1.12 per share, which is equal to the fair market value of the shares of Company common stock underlying the Option on the grant date. Subject to Executive’s continued employment with the Company through the applicable vesting date, the Option will vest and become exercisable with respect to one-forty-eighth (1/48th) of the shares subject thereto on each monthly anniversary of January 1, 2016. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company experiences a Change in Control (as defined in the Plan) prior to the full vesting (or forfeiture) of the Option and Executive’s employment is terminated by the Company without Cause (as defined below) within three (3) months prior to the consummation of such Change in Control, then, subject to Section 6(b) below, one hundred percent (100%) of any then-unvested portion of the Option will vest and become exercisable immediately prior to such Change in Control. In addition, (i) if the Company experiences a Change in Control (as defined in the Plan) prior to the full vesting (or forfeiture) of the Option and Executive remains employed by the Company through at least immediately prior to such Change in Control, fifty percent (50%) of any then-unvested portion of the Option shall vest immediately prior to such Change in Control, and (ii) if the Company experiences a Change in Control (as defined in the Plan) prior to the full vesting (or forfeiture) of the Option and Executive’s employment is terminated by the Company without Cause within two (2) years following the consummation of such Change in Control, subject to and conditioned upon Executive’s timely execution and non-revocation of a Release (as defined below), one hundred percent (100%) of any then-unvested portion of the Option will vest in full and become exercisable upon the effectiveness of the Release. Each Option will be subject in all respects to the terms and conditions set forth in the Plan and in an award agreement to be entered into between the Company and Executive, which will evidence the grant of the Option (each, an “Option Agreement”).

REGISTERED RETIREMENT SAVINGS PLAN 1. In this Article:
Stock Option Award In the event of Employee’s involuntary Termination of Employment without Cause or Termination of Employment due to a resignation by Employee for Good Reason that, in either case, occurs on or before the second anniversary of a Change in Control, the Stock Option Award shall become exercisable immediately (whether or not previously exercisable) and shall remain exercisable for the three year period following such Termination of Employment. For this purpose, “Good Reason” has the same meaning determined by Employee’s written employment agreement in effect on the Grant Date. In the event there is no such agreement or definition, then Good Reason means the initial existence of one or more of the following conditions, arising without the consent of the Employee: (1) a material diminution in Employee’s base compensation; (2) a material diminution in Employee’s authority, duties, or responsibilities, so as to effectively cause Employee to no longer be performing the duties of his position; (3) a material diminution in the authority, duties, or responsibilities of the supervisor to whom Employee is required to report.
Disability Retirement If, as a result of your incapacity due to physical or mental illness, You shall have been absent from the full-time performance of your duties with the Company for 6 consecutive months, and within 30 days after written notice of termination is given You shall not have returned to the full-time performance of your duties, your employment may be terminated for "Disability." Termination of your employment by the Company or You due to your "Retirement" shall mean termination in accordance with the Company's retirement policy, including early retirement, generally applicable to its salaried employees or in accordance with any retirement arrangement established with your consent with respect to You.
Death, Retirement or Disability Executive’s employment shall terminate automatically upon Executive’s death or Retirement during the Employment Period. For purposes of this Agreement, “Retirement” shall mean normal retirement as defined in the Company’s then-current retirement plan, or if there is no such retirement plan, “Retirement” shall mean voluntary termination after age 65 with ten years of service. If the Company determines in good faith that the Disability of Executive has occurred during the Employment Period (pursuant to the definition of Disability set forth below), it may give to Executive written notice of its intention to terminate Executive’s employment. In such event, Executive’s employment with the Company shall terminate effective on the 30th day after receipt of such written notice by Executive (the “Disability Effective Date”), provided that, within the 30 days after such receipt, Executive shall not have returned to full-time performance of Executive’s duties. For purposes of this Agreement, “Disability” shall mean a mental or physical disability as determined by the Board of Directors of the Company in accordance with standards and procedures similar to those under the Company’s employee long-term disability plan, if any. At any time that the Company does not maintain such a long-term disability plan, “Disability” shall mean the inability of Executive, as determined by the Board, to perform the essential functions of his regular duties and responsibilities, with or without reasonable accommodation, due to a medically determinable physical or mental condition which has lasted (or can reasonably be expected to last) for twelve workweeks in any twelve-month period. At the request of Executive or his personal representative, the Board’s determination that the Disability of Executive has occurred shall be certified by two physicians mutually agreed upon by Executive, or his personal representative, and the Company. Failing such independent certification (if so requested by Executive), Executive’s termination shall be deemed a termination by the Company without Cause and not a termination by reason of his Disability.
Deferred Retirement a. An employee who is eligible for paid retirement at the time he or she separates from County service, but elects deferred retirement, may defer participation in the Grant until such time as he or she becomes an active retiree.
b. An otherwise eligible employee who is not eligible for paid retirement at the time he or she separates from County service but is eligible for and elects deferred retirement shall not become eligible for participation in the Grant.
