Discretionary Leave 1. Full-time employees, including those on extended contract, will be entitled to three (3) days of discretionary leave per school year. Employees on a contract of at least 50% but less than 100% will be awarded discretionary leave on a pro-rated basis. Short-term (less than 50% or less than 90 days) contracted employees are not eligible for discretionary leave. (Revised 1995, 1999, 2004)
2. Discretionary leave may be utilized for circumstances that are significant to the employee. (Revised 1995)
3. Except for emergencies, the employee will provide five (5) days prior written notice to his/her immediate supervisor. In emergency situations, the employee will, within two (2) days upon his/her return from such leave, submit the discretionary leave form.
4. Not more than 10% of the employees in any building may be absent on the same day for discretionary leave reasons. If more than 10% submit discretionary leave forms for the same day, leave will be granted based on the order in which forms are received in the principal's office. This limitation will not apply to emergency matters.
5. Discretionary leave is cumulative to five (5) days. (Revised 1995)
6. Discretionary leave accrued in excess of five (5) days will be added to accrued sick leave. (Revised 1995, 1999)
7. No more than five (5) days of discretionary leave may be used in any school year.
8. Discretionary leave not used at the time of termination of employment will be added to accrued sick leave for compensation under the Sick Leave Reimbursement Plan. (Revised 1995)
9. In the event of an emergency, the employee having used all accrued discretionary leave, may request up to two (2) additional days of leave with stated reasons and be docked the cost of the substitute. Such request is subject to Superintendent approval.
10. Discretionary leave will be used for approved sick leave purposes once the accrued and projected sick leave has been exhausted. Employees may not access the Sick Leave Bank or Sick Leave Donation until accrued and projected sick leave days and discretionary days have been used. See Sick Leave. (Adopted 1984; Revised 1988, 1995, 1999)
Annual Discretionary Bonus Effective as of the Effective Date, the Executive will be eligible to earn an annual performance bonus of up to 40% of the Executive’s Base Salary (the “Target Bonus”), based upon the Board’s assessment of the Executive’s performance and the Company’s attainment of targeted goals as set by the Board in its sole discretion. To the extent the Executive’s Base Salary and/or target bonus percentage of Base Salary is changed during the year to which the performance bonus relates, the Target Bonus shall be calculated based on base salary actually paid during such year (and not solely on the Executive’s Base Salary at the end of such year) and shall apply the initial target bonus percentage of Base Salary and the revised target bonus percentage of Base Salary based on the portion of the year during which each was in effect. The Board may determine to provide the bonus in the form of cash, equity award(s), or a combination of cash and equity. Following the close of each calendar year, the Board will determine whether the Executive has earned a performance bonus, and the amount of any performance bonus, based on the set criteria. No amount of the annual bonus is guaranteed, and the Executive must be an employee in good standing on the date of payment in order to be eligible for any annual bonus, except as specifically set forth below. The annual performance bonus, if earned, will be paid by no later than March 15 of the calendar year after the year to which it relates. The Executive’s bonus eligibility will be reviewed on an annual or more frequent basis by the Board and is subject to change in the discretion of the Board.
Discretionary Bonus The Executive shall be entitled to participate in an equitable manner with all other senior management employees of the Bank in discretionary bonuses that may be authorized and declared by the Board of Directors to its senior management executives from time to time. No other compensation provided for in this Agreement shall be deemed a substitute for the Executive's right to participate in such discretionary bonuses when and as declared by the Board.
Discretionary Bonuses The Employee shall participate in an equitable manner with all other senior management employees of the Bank in discretionary bonuses that the Board may award from time to time to the Bank’s senior management employees.

(v) on the related Discretionary Sale Date, the Administrative Agent, each Lender and the Collateral Custodian, as applicable, shall have received, as applicable, in immediately available funds, an amount equal to the sum of (a) an amount sufficient to reduce the Advances Outstanding such that, after giving effect to the transfer of the Loans that are the subject of such Discretionary Sale, the Required Advance Reduction Amount will be equal to zero plus (b) an amount equal to all unpaid Interest then due and owing to the extent reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to be attributable to that portion of the Advances Outstanding to be repaid in connection with the Discretionary Sale plus (c) an aggregate amount equal to the sum of all other Obligations then due and owing to the Administrative Agent, each applicable Lender, the Affected Parties and the Indemnified Parties, as applicable, under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents (or such lesser amount as consented to by the Administrative Agent pursuant to clause (ii) above);
(vi) on the related Discretionary Sale Date, the proceeds (net of (x) amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.14(v) and (y) transactional expenses) from such Discretionary Sale shall be sent directly to the Collection Account; and
(vii) the aggregate OLB of all Loans which are sold by the Borrower in connection with a Discretionary Sale during any 12-month rolling period shall not exceed 30% of the highest Aggregate OLB at any point during such 12-month period (or such lesser number of months as shall have elapsed from the Closing Date as of such date); provided that, (a) any Discretionary Sale may be excluded from such 30% limitation with the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and (b) any Discretionary Sale made pursuant to clause (B) or (C) of Section 2.14(iv) shall be excluded from such 30% limitation; provided, further, that the Borrower may make Discretionary Sales of Loans exceeding such 30% limitation if (x) all proceeds from such Discretionary Sales are applied pursuant to Section 2.3(b) to reduce Advances Outstanding and (y) the Facility Amount is concurrently reduced pursuant to Section 2.3(a) by an amount equal to the proceeds of such Discretionary Sales.
Plan Year The year for the purposes of the plan shall be from September 1 of one year, to August 31, of the following year, or such other years as the parties may agree to.

(b) It is understood that the administrative intent of this Article is that the Employer contribution is made for individuals who are participants in the medical insurance coverages. Participation will mean that eligible less-than-full-time employees who drop out of coverage will be considered to participate. Additionally, employees who elect to opt out of coverage for a cash incentive will be considered to participate.
Bonus and Incentive Compensation Executive shall be entitled to equitable participation in incentive compensation and bonuses in any plan or arrangement of the Bank or the Company in which Executive is eligible to participate. Nothing paid to Executive under any such plan or arrangement will be deemed to be in lieu of other compensation to which Executive is entitled under this Agreement.
