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 A. Each bargaining unit member who, as of October 1, fall semester and/or March 1, spring semester, or as a result of late start courses, meets the conditions of Association membership defined in Article I, 1.1 shall, as a condition of employment, join the Adjunct Faculty Association or pay a fair share fee to the Association equivalent to the amount of dues uniformly required of members of the Association, including local, state and national dues. Following the fifth pay period of the Fall and Spring semesters (Payrolls 5 and 15), the Administration will provide the Association a list of all adjunct and part-time faculty who have received teaching assignments. The Association will prepare a list of adjunct and part-time faculty to be given to the College who have either elected to have full (or local only) union dues and fair share fees deducted from their pay. The Adjunct Faculty Association President shall then submit to the Administration a list of adjunct faculty members who meet the conditions of Association membership due to courses that begin prior to Payroll 5 of the fall semester or Payroll 15 of the spring semester. The Association shall notify the Administration as soon as possible of the names of those adjunct faculty members who meet the conditions of Association membership due to late starting courses. B. The Board shall deduct the fair share fee from the wages of the non-member. C. Such fee shall be paid to the Association by the Board no later than ten (10) days following deduction. D. In the event of any legal action against the Employer brought in a court or administrative agency because of its compliance with this Article, the Association agrees to defend such action, at its own expense and through its own counsel, provided: 1. The Employer gives prompt notice of such action in writing to the Association and permits the Association intervention as a party if it so desires, and 2. The Employer gives 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. E. The Association agrees that in any action so defended, it will indemnify and hold harmless the Employer from any liability for damages and costs imposed by a final judgment of a court or administrative agency as a direct consequence of the Employer’s non-negligent compliance with this Article. It is expressly understood that this hold harmless provision will not apply to any claim, demand, suit or other form of liability which may arise as a result of any type of willful misconduct by the Board or the Board’s imperfect execution of the obligations imposed upon it by this Article. F. The Association shall certify to the Board the amount of the annual fair share fee, not to exceed the dues uniformly required of members of the Association. The Association acknowledges its obligation to provide non-members with the basis for the calculation of the fair share fee. The Association shall further certify to the Board that “Notice of Fair Share” has been posted in accordance with IELRB rules and regulations. No payroll deduction of fair share fees shall be made until at least fourteen (14) days after such certification. Such fair share payments shall be deducted by the Board on a pro-rata basis from the earnings of the non- members on the same time schedule as Association dues and be paid to the Association. The amount certified by the Association shall not include any fees for contributions related to the election or support of any candidate for political office. Nothing in this Section shall preclude the non-member from making voluntary political contributions in conjunction with his or her fair share payment. G. This fair share agreement shall safeguard the right of non-association of employees based upon bona fide religious tenets or teaching of a church or religious body of which such employees are members or a belief sincerely held with the strength of traditional religious views. Such employees may be required to pay an amount equal to their fair share under this Agreement to a non-religious charitable organization mutually agreed upon by the employee affected and the Association, or if no mutual agreement is reached, from an approved list of charitable organizations established by the Illinois Educational Labor Relations Board. H. Non-members who object to the amount of the fair share fee have the right to file objections with the Illinois Educational Labor Relations Board.

(b) Within ninety (90) calendar days after the end of each Earn-Out Period, Purchaser shall prepare and deliver to the Company a reasonably detailed statement (each, an “Earn-Out Statement”) setting forth a calculation of the Earn-Out Amount for such period together with reasonable supporting information. The Company may dispute the calculation of such Earn-Out Amount by providing written notice (an “Earn-Out Dispute Notice”) to Purchaser within thirty (30) calendar days of Purchaser’s delivery of the Earn-Out Statement to the Company. If the Company does not provide an Earn-Out Dispute Notice, such Earn-Out Statement shall be deemed final upon the end of such thirty (30) calendar days of Purchaser’s delivery of the Earn-Out Statement to the Company. An Earn-Out Dispute Notice shall identify each disputed item, specify the amount of such dispute and set forth in reasonable detail the basis for such dispute. Purchaser shall, and shall cause its Affiliates and Representatives to, provide the Company and its Representatives with reasonable access, information and assistance as may be reasonably requested by the Company in connection with its review of an Earn-Out Statement. In the event of any such disputes, Purchaser and the Company shall attempt, in good faith, to reconcile their differences (including providing information that is reasonably requested to the other party), and any resolution by them as to any disputed items shall be final, binding and conclusive on the Parties and shall be evidenced by a writing signed by Purchaser and the Company reflecting such resolution. If Purchaser and the Company are able to reach a resolution, such Earn-Out Statement shall be deemed final. If Purchaser and the Company are unable to reach such resolution within thirty (30) calendar days after the Company’s delivery of an Earn-Out Dispute Notice to Purchaser, then Purchaser and the Company shall promptly submit any remaining disputed items for final binding resolution to the Designated Accounting Firm. If any remaining disputed items are submitted to the Designated Accounting Firm for resolution, (i) each Party will furnish to the Designated Accounting Firm such workpapers and other documents and information relating to the remaining disputed items as the Designated Accounting Firm may request and are available to such Party, and each Party will be afforded the opportunity to present to the Designated Accounting Firm any material relating to the disputed items and to discuss the resolution of the disputed items with the Designated Accounting Firm; (ii) each Party will use its Commercially Reasonable Efforts to cooperate with the resolution process so that the disputed items can be resolved within forty-five (45) calendar days of submission of the disputed items to the Designated Accounting Firm; (iii) the determination by the Designated Accounting Firm, as set forth in a written notice to Purchaser and the Company, shall be final, binding and conclusive on the Parties; and (iv) the fees and expenses of the Designated Accounting Firm shall be borne by the Company and Purchaser in inverse proportion as they may prevail on the matters resolved by the Designated Accounting Firm, which proportionate allocation shall be calculated on an aggregate basis based on the relative dollar values of the amounts in dispute and shall be determined by the Designated Accounting Firm at the time the determination is rendered on the merits of the matters submitted to the Designated Accounting Firm, and all other costs and expenses shall be paid by the respective Party incurring such expense. Nothing herein shall be construed to authorize or permit the Designated Accounting Firm to resolve any item in dispute by making an adjustment to the Earn-Out Statement that is outside of the range for such item defined by the Earn-Out Statement and an Earn-Out Dispute Notice. In calculating the Earn-Out Amount, the Designated Accounting Firm shall be limited to addressing only those particular disputes referred to in an Earn-Out Dispute Notice. (c) For the avoidance of doubt, an Earn-Out Statement shall be deemed to be final, binding and conclusive on Purchaser and the Company upon the earliest of (i) the failure of the Company to deliver to Purchaser an Earn-Out Dispute Notice within thirty (30) calendar days of Purchaser’s delivery of such Earn-Out Statement to the Company; (ii) the resolution of all disputes by Purchaser and the Company, documented in a writing executed by the Parties; and (iii) the resolution of all disputes by the Designated Accounting Firm in accordance with Section 2.03(b). (d) The Parties understand and agree that (i) any sale event (including stock purchase or all of substantially all of the respective stock, asset purchase or all of substantially all of the respective assets, merger, combination, exclusive license having the effect of a sale or other change of control, whether direct or indirect, whether by operation of law or otherwise) involving Purchaser or its Affiliates after the Closing shall (A) not relieve Purchaser of its obligations under this Section 2.03, and (B) require, as a condition precedent to such sale event, that the acquiror or surviving corporation, as the case may be, assume (whether expressly or by operation of law) this Agreement as part of the sale event and be liable for the payment of all amounts under this Section 2.03, and (ii) except as provided in Section 2.07 with respect to any applicable withholding Tax or as provided in Article VIII with respect to indemnification obligations of the Company and Parent, that the Earn-Out Amount payable hereunder shall be made without any deduction, abatement, set-off or counterclaim whatsoever. (e) During an Earn-Out Period, Purchaser hereby covenants and agrees to, and to cause its Affiliates not to, act in bad faith with respect to attaining any Revenue for the purpose of reducing the Earn-Out Amount.
