Association Release Time Subd. 1. The Employer and the Association agree that the release of an ASF Member from normal job duties to perform other service shall be governed as follows:
Union Release Time The appointing authority may grant to elected officers or appointed representatives of the Union time off for employee organization representation activities. No more than one employee in a department or Bureau of the Department of Public Works with a total of no more than six employees for all bargaining units (4, 14, 15 & 18) shall be allowed release time under this article.

Such request shall be submitted at least 21 calendar days prior to the effective release date, specifying the starting and ending dates of release. The Union shall provide a copy of said request to the City Administrative Officer. The employee shall fill out any necessary paperwork required by Management for his/her release.
B. Whenever operationally feasible, the Department shall grant the time off request. When it is not possible to immediately grant the request, the Department shall provide an explanation in writing and specify a date when the employee can be released.
C. Release time shall be granted for a maximum of one year in any three-year period unless additional time is approved by the CAO and the affected departments.

The Union shall reimburse the City for all salary and benefits costs incurred as a result of release time, including but not limited to, vacation, sick leave, compensated time off, retirement, short-term disability, life insurance, medical, dental and workers’ compensation. The benefits cost shall be based on the benefits rates established by the City Administrative Officer as contained in the City Budget in effect during the period of release time, and the cost of other benefits approved by the Joint Labor Management Benefits Committee that become effective during this period.
G. Payment of any overtime worked while on release time shall be the responsibility of the Union.
H. The City Administrative Officer shall bill the Union and Union shall make payments to the City Administrative Officer of all reimbursable costs identified in Section E above.
I. An employee on release time shall submit weekly timesheets signed by the employee and the Union (General Manager or his/her designee) to their respective Personnel Director specifying the number of hours worked and use of any sick leave, vacation time or compensated time off.
X. Should an employee incur a work-related injury while on release time, he/she shall remain on release time with the Union during the period of injury-on-duty (IOD), or until the release time has ended, and shall continue to be counted in determining the 4 employee maximum, as provided for above. The Union will reimburse the City for all IOD and Workers’ Compensation related costs.
X. When the employee returns from release time, he/she shall return to his/her civil service classification and pay grade at the time of release.
L. The employee must have passed probation in his/her current class to be eligible for release time.
M. The Union shall indemnify, defend and hold the City and its officers and employees harmless against any and all claims, suits, demands or other forms of liability that might arise out of or result from any action taken by an employee in the service of the Union. The City Administrative Officer shall maintain a list of employees who have been approved for release time and the approved duration.
Partial Release After the First Open Defeasance Date and prior to the First Open Payment Date, and provided no Event of Default exists, Borrower may from time to time obtain a partial release (a “Partial Release”) from the lien of the Mortgage and the Loan Documents of up to two of the individual Mortgaged Properties listed on Schedule 2.17 hereto (each such individual Mortgaged Property to be released, a “Partial Release Property”), provided that all of the following conditions precedent have been satisfied with respect to any such Partial Release of any such Partial Release Property:
(a) No Partial Release of a Partial Release Property will be permitted until after the First Open Defeasance Date or if any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. No Partial Release of the Partial Release Property will be permitted on or after the First Open Payment Date. No more than two Partial Release Properties may be released during the term of the Loan.
(b) No Partial Release of the Partial Release Parcel will be permitted unless Borrower establishes to Lender’s satisfaction that the Debt Service Coverage Ratio for the remainder of the Mortgaged Property (i.e., exclusive of any income from the Partial Release Property) is and shall continue to be equal to or greater than the greater of (i) the Debt Service Coverage Ratio for the Mortgaged Property calculated immediately prior to the Partial Release (i.e., inclusive of the income from the Partial Release Property), and (ii) 1.30:1.00. If the foregoing condition would not be satisfied by defeasance of the Partial Defeasance Amount indicated in subparagraph (e) below, Borrower may by written notice to Lender given not less than ten (10) days prior to the Partial Defeasance increase the Partial Defeasance Amount to an amount which would result in the foregoing condition being satisfied upon completion of the Partial Defeasance of such larger Partial Defeasance Amount. No Partial Defeasance, nor any increase in any Partial Defeasance Amount under this paragraph (b) or paragraphs (c) below, shall affect the allocated loan amounts for the remaining Mortgaged Property as set forth on Schedule 2.17.
(c) No Partial Release of the Partial Release Parcel will be permitted unless Borrower establishes to Lender’s satisfaction that the value of the remainder of the Mortgaged Property (as determined by then-current Appraisals prepared by Appraisers approved by Lender, the fees and expenses of which shall be paid by Borrower) is sufficient to satisfy a loan-to-value ratio (based on the outstanding principal balance of the Loan immediately prior to the Partial Release, less the allocated loan amount for the Partial Release Property) which is the lesser of (i) 75% and (ii) the loan-to-value ratio for the Mortgaged Property (inclusive of the Partial Release Property, and based on the outstanding principal balance of the Loan immediately prior to the Partial Release) calculated immediately prior to the Partial Release. If the foregoing condition would not be satisfied by defeasance of the Partial Defeasance Amount indicated in subparagraph (e) below, Borrower may by written notice to Lender given not less than ten (10) days prior to the Partial Defeasance increase the Partial Defeasance Amount to an amount which would result in the foregoing condition being satisfied upon completion of the Partial Defeasance of such larger Partial Defeasance Amount.
(d) The Partial Release shall be allowed only in connection with a bona fide all-cash sale of the Partial Release Parcel to an unaffiliated third party on arms-length terms and conditions, and upon closing of such sale (and thereafter) shall not be owned, purchased or acquired by Borrower or any Affiliate of Borrower.
(e) Borrower will on the date of the Partial Release (the “Partial Release Date”) complete a Partial Defeasance, pursuant to Section 2.7 hereof, of a portion of the Loan (the “Partial Defeasance Amount” for such Partial Release Property) equal to 125% of the allocated loan amount for the Partial Release Property set forth on Schedule 2.17 hereto; provided, that if Borrower elects in connection with a Partial Defeasance of a Partial Release Property to increase the Partial Defeasance Amount for such Partial Release Property pursuant to the provisions of paragraphs (b) and/or (c) above, the Partial Defeasance Amount for such Partial Release Property shall be such higher amount for purposes of such Partial Defeasance.
(f) Borrower will execute (and Guarantor will consent in writing thereto and reaffirm their obligations under the Loan Documents to which they are a party notwithstanding the Partial Release) and deliver all such amendments to the Loan Documents and other instruments or documents as may be required by Lender (using commercial standards customarily applied with respect to mortgage loans such as the Loan) in order to continue to fully protect Lender’s lien and security interest in the remainder of the Mortgaged Property.
(g) Borrower will cause the Master Homesite Lease(s) to be amended to exclude the Partial Release Property pursuant to documentation reasonably satisfactory to Lender.
(h) Borrower, at its sole cost and expense, shall obtain endorsements to Lender’s loan policy of title insurance satisfactory in form and content to Lender, which endorsements will (a) affirmatively evidence the continued validity of Lender’s first lien position created by the Loan Documents through the date of recordation of the partial release of the Partial Release Property, and (b) insure that the lien created by the Loan Documents remains a valid first lien on the remainder of the Mortgaged Property.
(i) Borrower shall pay for the costs of preparing and recording partial releases, UCC-3 releases, and any loan modification documents, easements, declarations, and/or restrictive covenants required by Lender, Lender’s reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs, all survey charges and costs, all title premiums and costs, documentary stamps incurred in connection with the release of the Partial Release Property in accordance with the requirements contained herein, and all other reasonable out-of-pocket costs, fees, and expenses incurred by Lender in connection with the requested release of the Partial Release Property.
(j) Borrower shall have provided Lender with a Rating Confirmation with respect to the Partial Release.
(k) Borrower shall pay Lender’s reasonable costs and expenses in connection with the Partial Release, as set forth below. Borrower shall pay or reimburse Lender for all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Lender in connection with such request for a Partial Release, including, but not limited to, the preparation, negotiation and review of any and all materials required to be provided in connection therewith (including Lender’s reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses).

Employee further agrees that Employee will not file or permit to be filed on Employee’s behalf any such claim. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence or any other provision of this Agreement, this release is not intended to interfere with Employee’s right to file a charge with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (the “EEOC”), or other comparable agency, in connection with any claim Employee believes Employee may have against Matador or its affiliates. However, by executing this Agreement, Employee hereby waives the right to recover in any proceeding Employee may bring before the EEOC or any state human rights commission or in any proceeding brought by the EEOC or any state human rights commission on Employee’s behalf. This release shall not apply to any of Matador’s obligations under this Agreement or post-termination obligations under the Employment Agreement, any vested retirement plan benefits, any vested equity grants or COBRA continuation coverage benefits.

(iv) the Borrower requests in writing to the Administrative Agent a payoff letter for the Collateral it seeks to release from the Mortgage not less than three (3) Business Days prior to the date such payoff is needed, together with all data reasonably necessary to support the Borrower’s being entitled to the partial release, including, without limitation, a legal description for the Collateral to be released and a partial release document prepared by the Borrower, all at the Borrower’s expense and all in form and content satisfactory to the Administrative Agent;
(v) the Borrower shall submit to the Administrative Agent within five (5) Business Days after the closing of the sale, a photocopy of the final signed closing statement with respect to the sale of such Collateral, it being understood that the Borrower’s failure to submit a closing statement within such time period shall not constitute a Default hereunder;

(c) Upon request by the Borrower and without payment of any release price or Release Consideration, or other amount, the Administrative Agent shall also release land from the Lien of the Mortgages and other Security Documents or subordinate such Liens, all as necessary to effect necessary dedications of roadways or utility and service areas to Governmental Authorities or utility companies, to convey common areas to homeowners or condominium associations, and to allow the recordation of plats, easements and declarations to the extent such are common or reasonably necessary for the development of Collateral for residential purposes, and Borrower shall pay all costs and expenses of the Administrative Agent including, without limitation, reasonable legal fees incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection with any such release. Releases of Collateral from the Mortgages and other Security Documents shall not affect or impair the Lien of the Mortgages and the Administrative Agent’s Lien and security interests created by the other Loan Documents as to the Collateral and other property encumbered by the Mortgages and the other Loan Documents not theretofore released, and said Liens and security interests shall continue in full force and effect as to the Collateral and such other property not released. Except as set forth in this Section 4.2, no Collateral shall be released from the Lien of a Mortgage applicable thereto. Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent to release Collateral in accordance with this Section 4.2.
