VACATION LEAVE In recognition of the fact that many top management personnel are recruited from outside the Town, that the average tenure for those management personnel is substantially more than that of non-management personnel, and that at least three years prior experience is required, the following vacation leave policy for management personnel shall be implemented: Management employees shall accumulate vacation leave in accordance with the following vacation time entitlement: Service Work Days 0-5 Years 15 Days 6-15 Years 20 Days 16+ Years 25 Days Upon termination of a management employee's service with the Town, such employee shall be paid a lump sum equivalent to his/her accrued vacation leave. Maximum accumulation of vacation leave is 40 workdays. SECTION 5. S'iCK LEAVE Management employees shall be entitled to accrue one working day of sick leave with pay for each month or major fraction thereof.

SICK LEAVE PAY OFF Management employees hired prior to July 1, 2001, or if their employment contract states differently, may receive cash equivalent compensation of 50% of their accrued sick leave, up to a total of 60 days, if the following conditions are met: Tiburon Town Council Resolution No. 32-2011 71612011 Page 3 a. The employee files for a service retirement from the Town, or b. The employee voluntarily separates from the Town and has at least 15 years of service with the Town. Effective July 1, 2011, the cash value of this benefit will be determined based on each employee's hourly rate and number of eligible hours for cash-out purposes (50% of sick leave balance, up to 60 days). This value will be documented and the number of eligible hours and hourly rate capped at current values. This value cannot grow through additional accrued sick leave or though increases in pay. Employees with 15 years or more service with the Town may request a cash-out of 60% of the eligible hours (early cash-out option). Should an employee request the early cash-out of 60% of the eligible sick leave hours, they will not be entitled to any further sick leave cash-out upon retirement or separation of employment with the Town. Those hours cashed out will be deducted from the employees sick leave balance. If an employee is not eligible for, or elects not to take, the early cash-out option, they shall be paid the frozen dollar value upon separation of employment with the Town. The only way the frozen dollar amount can be lowered is if an employee has less accrued sick leave hours, or a lesser hourly rate, upon separation of employment than they do on July 1, 2011. For tax planning purposes, should an employee desire to take the early cash out option, they will be allowed to take this payment in either 2011 or in January 2012. For management employees hired after July 1, 2001, they may accrue unlimited sick leave with no option for "cashback" benefits. SECTION 7.
