Appraisal Procedure For determining the Fair Market Sales Value of the Properties or any other amount which may, pursuant to any provision of any Operative Agreement, be determined by an appraisal procedure, Lessor and Lessee shall use the following procedure (the "Appraisal Procedure"). Lessor and Lessee shall endeavor to reach a mutual agreement as to such amount for a period of ten (10) days from commencement of the Appraisal Procedure under the applicable section of the Lease, and if they cannot agree within ten (10) days, then two (2) qualified appraisers, one (1) chosen by Lessee and one (1) chosen by Lessor, shall mutually agree thereupon, but if either party shall fail to choose an appraiser within twenty (20) days after notice from the other party of the selection of its appraiser, then the appraisal by such appointed appraiser shall be binding on Lessee and Lessor. If the two (2) appraisers cannot agree within twenty (20) days after both shall have been appointed, then a third appraiser shall be selected by the two (2) appraisers or, failing agreement as to such third appraiser within thirty (30) days after both shall have been appointed, by the American Arbitration Association. The decisions of the three (3) appraisers shall be given within twenty (20) days of the appointment of the third appraiser and the decision of the appraiser most different from the average of the other two (2) shall be discarded and such average shall be binding on Lessor and Lessee; provided, that if the highest appraisal and the lowest appraisal are equidistant from the third appraisal, the third appraisal shall be binding on Lessor and Lessee. The fees and expenses of the appraiser appointed by Lessee shall be paid by Lessee; the fees and expenses of the appraiser appointed by Lessor shall be paid by Lessor (such fees and expenses not being indemnified pursuant to Section 11 of the Participation Agreement); and the fees and expenses of the third appraiser shall be divided equally between Lessee and Lessor.

Time Off for Union Business (a) Leave of absence without pay shall be granted upon request for the reasons set out below unless it would unduly interrupt the Employer's operations: (1) to an elected or appointed representative of the Union to attend conventions of the Union and bodies to which the Union is affiliated, to a maximum of 21 days per occurrence; (2) for elected or appointed representatives of the Union to attend to union business which requires them to leave their general work area; (3) for employees who are representatives of the Union on a bargaining committee. (b) Long-term leave of absence without pay shall be granted to employees designated by the Union to transact union business for specific periods of not less than 21 days unless this would unduly interrupt the operation of the department. Such requests shall be made in writing sufficiently in advance to minimize disruption of the department. Employees granted such leave of absence shall retain all rights and privileges accumulated prior to obtaining such leave. Seniority shall continue to accumulate during such leave and shall apply to such provisions as annual vacations, increments and promotions. (c) When leave of absence without pay is granted pursuant to Part (a) or (b), the leave shall be given with pay and the Union shall reimburse the Employer for salary and benefit costs, including travel time incurred, within 60 days of receipt of the invoice. It is understood that employees granted leave of absence pursuant to this clause shall receive their current rates of pay while on leave of absence. Leave of absence granted under this clause shall include sufficient travel time. The pay and benefits received by the employee and reimbursed by the Union under this article shall be based on the number of hours to which the Union indicates, in writing, the employee is entitled. This provision does not apply to employees on extended leaves of absence who are employed by the Union on a full-time basis. (d) Leave of absence with pay and without loss of seniority will be granted to an employee called to appear as a witness before an arbitration board, provided the dispute involved the Employer. On application, the Arbitration Board may determine summarily the amount of time required for the attendance of any witness. (e) The Union shall provide the Employer with reasonable notice to minimize disruption of the operation and shall make every reasonable effort to give a minimum of 14 days’ notice prior to the commencement of leave under (a) or (b) above. The Employer agrees that any of the above leaves of absence shall not be unreasonably withheld.
