STATEMENT OF EEO POLICY

 

 

It is the policy of Heim Bearings and the
UAW to uphold and maintain a continuing nondiscriminatory “Equal Employment Opportunity” policy. Our goal shall be
a realistic attempt to insure genuine equal opportunity, in every sense of its meaning, in every operational area.

 

“Equal Employment Opportunity”
will be maintained for all present employees, as well as applicants applying for positions with this company, through the following
Corporation policy: “It is the policy through a positive and continuing program, to provide equal opportunity in employment
for all qualified persons, to prohibit discrimination in employment because of age, race, creed, color, sex, handicap, national
origin, disabled veterans and veterans of the Vietnam era, and to promote the full realization of equal employment opportunity.
The program also extends to and encompasses the providing of equal opportunity in employment for all qualified personnel without
regard to politics or marital status.

 

It is our intent to incorporate a strong
EEO policy throughout virtually every personnel activity or function to assure full utilization of all available human resources
and to review these policies on a semi-annual basis.”

ARTICLE 23

INSURANCE PROGRAM

 

Section 1.Health
Maintenance Organization

 

Each employee covered by this Agreement shall have
their hospital, medical, surgical, and related insurance coverage under the Health Net Charter HMO $1,500 hospital/outpatient
deductible per covered family member per calendar year (employee pays first $400, and company pays the next $1,100). Contract formula
for determining increases applies.

 

Section 2.              The Company agrees to provide insurance
coverage as outlined in the Health Net plan description as provided to all employees upon enrollment. Details are explained in
the insurance contract.

 

Section 3.              Employee Contributions

 

Effective 3/1/07 and beyond the employee contribution will be
the existing contribution plus 50% of the premium increase up to a maximum of $5.00 from the prior contribution.

 

    	-24-

    	 

    
 

If during the life of the contract the projected cost of premium
increases would result in an increase of more than $5.00 above the previous year's employee contribution, the Company and the Union
will meet to develop an alternate plan which will not result in an increase in Company cost. If the parties agree on a plan which
results in a lesser premium cost the parties will share the savings.

 

If the parties do not agree on an alternate plan, the Company
and the employee will share the increased cost of the premium on a 50%/50% basis.

 

Premium Conversion

 

Current tax laws allow us to provide you with a tax-advantaged
way to pay your share of Medical premiums. You may elect to contribute toward the cost of your coverage on a pre-tax basis. That
means your premiums will be deducted from your paycheck before Social Security, federal, and state taxes are taken out. This lowers
your taxable income and, in effect, lowers your share of the premiums.

 

Section 4.              Accident and Sickness weekly benefits for
employees with accidents or sickness will be paid as follows:

 

2/1/13: $350 per week

2/1/15: $400 per week

2/1/16: $400 per week

2/1/17: $400 per week

 

Section 5.              The Company shall pay $35 per
month per employee for dental insurance to Local 376, UAW Dental Plan.

 

Section 6.              Employees who retire early may
continue their life and/or medical insurance at group rates until age sixty-five (65). In order to receive retiree life paid for
by the company and $50/month towards retiree medical and/or Medicare Part B Reimbursement paid for by the Company at age sixty-five
(65), the employee must elect to carry the retiree life and/or medical insurance until age sixty-five (65).

 

Section 7.              Employees who retire on
or after 2/1/96 are entitled to $50 per month paid for by the Company toward both medical and/or Medicare Part B reimbursement
when they reach age sixty-five (65).

 

Section 8.              The Company will provide Life Insurance
Coverage and Accidental Death and Dismemberment Coverage in the following amounts:

of any kind, nor subject to the debts or liability of any eligible survivor except as required by applicable law.

than your insurance for Death or Dismemberment by Accidental means and your Weekly Accident and Sickness insurance for not more
than the next 18 months by paying the full cost of the coverage thus continued for you. Failure to make such contribution on or
before the 15th day of any month will terminate such insurance at the end of the last month for which payment has been
made. If your are on lay-off, this provision will run concurrently with your COBRA rights under COBRA.

Section 14.              What
Happens to Your Insurance at Retirement - All employees retiring under the Pension Plan, upon attaining their normal retirement
