    AMENDED
AND RESTATED

    CHANGE-IN-CONTROL
AGREEMENT

     

    THIS
AGREEMENT dated as of December 17, 2007 (the “Agreement Date”) is made by and
among Nicor Inc. (the “Company”), an Illinois corporation, and Rocco J.
D’Alessandro (the “Executive”).

     

    Executive
and the Company have previously entered into a Change-in-Control Agreement dated
November 22, 2002 (the “Prior Agreement”).  The Company and Executive
desire to amend and restate the Prior Agreement to conform to the requirements
of Section 409A of the Code.

I

    PURPOSES

     

    The Board
has determined that it is in the best interests of the Company and its
shareholders to assure that the Company and Nicor Gas will have the continued
services of the Executive, despite the possibility or occurrence of a Change in
Control of the Company.  The Board believes it is imperative to reduce
the distraction of the Executive that would result from the personal
uncertainties caused by a pending or threatened Change in Control, to encourage
the Executive’s full attention and dedication to the Company and Nicor Gas, and
to provide the Executive with compensation and benefits arrangements upon a
Change in Control which are competitive with those of similarly situated
corporations.  This Agreement is intended to accomplish these
objectives.

    CERTAIN
DEFINITIONS

     

    When used
in this Agreement, the terms specified below shall have the following
meanings:

     

    2.1.   The
“Agreement Term” shall begin on the Agreement Date and shall continue through
December 31, 2008.  As of December 31, 2008, and on each
December 31 thereafter, the Agreement Term shall automatically be extended
for one additional year unless, not later than the preceding June 30,
either party shall have given notice that such party does not wish to extend the
Agreement Term.  If a Change in Control shall have occurred during the
Agreement Term (as it may be extended from time to time), the Agreement Term
shall continue for a period ending on the two-year anniversary of the date of
the Change in Control, but if the Termination Date (as defined below) occurs
during that two-year period, then the Agreement Term shall continue until the
end of the Severance Period (as defined below).  Unless the
Termination Date occurs during the two-year period after a Change in Control so
that the Agreement Term is extended to include the Severance Period, as provided
in the immediately preceding sentence, the Agreement Term shall not extend
beyond the two-year anniversary of the Change in Control.

     

    2.2.   “Board”
means the board of directors of the Company.

    2.3.   “Change
in Control” means the occurrence of a “change in the ownership,” a “change in
the effective control” or a “change in the ownership of a substantial portion of
the assets” of an entity, as determined in accordance with this
Section.  In determining whether an event shall be considered a
“change in the ownership,” a “change in the effective control” or a “change in
the ownership of a substantial portion of the assets” of an entity, the
following provisions shall apply:

     

    2.3.1   A “change
in the ownership” of the Company shall occur on the date on which any one
person, or more than one person acting as a group (within the meaning of Section
13(d)(3) or 14(d)(2) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (a
“Person”)), acquires ownership of the equity securities of the Company that,
together with the equity securities held by such Person, constitutes more than
50% of the total fair market value or total voting power of the Company, as
determined in accordance with Treas. Reg. §1.409A-3(i)(5)(v).  If a
Person is considered either to own more than 50% of the total fair market value
or total voting power of the equity securities of the Company, or to have
effective control of the Company within the meaning of Section 2.3.2, and such
Person acquires additional equity securities of the Company, the acquisition of
additional equity securities by such Person shall not be considered to cause a
“change in the ownership” of the Company.

     

    2.3.2   A “change
in the effective control” of the Company shall occur on either of the following
dates:

     

    2.3.2.1   The date

the Company possessing 30% or more of the total voting power of the Company’s
equity securities, as determined in accordance with Treas. Reg.
§1.409A-3(i)(5)(vi).  If a Person is considered to possess 30% or more
of the total voting power of the Company’s equity securities, and such Person
acquires additional stock of the Company, the acquisition of additional stock by
such Person shall not be considered to cause a “change in the effective control”
of the Company; or

     

    2.3.2.2 The date
on which a majority of the members of the Board is replaced during any 12-month
period by directors whose appointment or election is not endorsed by a majority
of the members of the Board before the date of the appointment or election, as
determined in accordance with Treas. Reg. §1.409A-3(i)(5)(vi).

     

    2.3.3   A “change
in the ownership of a substantial portion of the assets” of the Company shall occur on the date on
which any one Person acquires (or has acquired during the 12-month period ending
on the date of the most recent acquisition by such Person) assets from the
Company that have a total gross fair market value equal to or more than 40% of
the total gross fair market value of all of the assets of the Company
immediately before such acquisition or acquisitions, as determined in
accordance with Treas. Reg. §1.409A-3(i)(5)(vii).  A transfer of
assets shall not be treated as a “change in the ownership of a substantial
portion of the assets” when such transfer is made to an entity that is
controlled by the holders of the Company’s equity securities, as determined in
accordance with Treas. Reg. §1.409A-3(i)(5)(vii)(B).

Article IV of this Agreement, the Executive agrees to remain in the employ
of the Company and Nicor Gas, as applicable, subject to the terms and conditions
hereof.  During the Employment Period, (i) the Executive’s

material respects with the most significant of those held, exercised and
assigned to the Executive at any time during the 90-day period immediately

Executive (i) to serve on corporate, civic or charitable boards or
committees, (ii) to deliver lectures, fulfill speaking engagements or teach
at educational institutions and (iii) to manage personal investments, to

duties under this Agreement, or conflict in any material way with the business
of the Company or any Subsidiary; provided, however, that the Executive shall
not serve on the board of any business, or hold any other position with any
business, without the consent of the CEO.

     

    3.2.   Compensation.

     

    3.2.1   Base
Salary.  During the Employment Period, the Executive shall

twelve months after the last salary increase awarded to the Executive prior
to the Effective Date and, thereafter, at least annually, and shall be increased
at any time and from time to time as shall be substantially consistent with
increases in base salary awarded to other senior executives of the

Salary as so increased.  Any increase in Annual Base Salary shall not
limit or reduce any other obligation of the Company to the Executive under this

an incentive award (the “Annual Incentive”) for each Performance Period or
portion thereof which falls within the Employment

Executive’s target and maximum Annual Incentive with respect to any Performance
Period shall not be less than the target and maximum annual incentive award
payable with respect to the Executive under the Company’s annual incentive
program as in effect immediately preceding the Effective Date.

     

    3.2.3   Incentive, Savings and
Retirement Plans.  During the Employment Period, the Executive

(ii) those provided generally at any time after the Effective Date to other
senior executives of the Company.

and programs (“Welfare Plans”) provided by the Company (including, without
limitation, medical, prescription, dental, disability, salary continuance,
employee life, group life, accidental death and travel accident insurance
benefits), but in no event shall such Welfare Plans provide the Executive with
benefits which are less favorable, in the aggregate, than the greater of
(i) those provided by the Company for the Executive under such Welfare
Plans as were in effect at any time during the 90-day period immediately
preceding the Effective Date, or (ii) those provided generally at any time
after the Effective Date to other senior executives of the Company.

     

    3.2.5   Other Employee
Benefits.  During the Employment Period, the Executive shall be
entitled to other employee benefits and perquisites in accordance with the most
favorable plans, practices, programs and policies of the Company, as in effect

preceding the Effective Date, or if more favorable, as in effect generally with
respect to other senior executives of the Company.

Executive shall be entitled to receive prompt reimbursements for all reasonable
expenses incurred by the Executive during the Employment Period in accordance
with the policies, practices and procedures of the Company, as in effect with
respect to the Executive at any time during the 90-day period immediately
preceding the Effective Date, or if more favorable, as in effect generally with
respect to other senior executives of the Company.  All such expenses
shall be reimbursed no later than the date six (6) months following the

of, a Subsidiary of the Company, the references to the Company contained in
Sections 3.2.1 through 3.2.8 and the other sections of this Agreement
referring to benefits to which the Executive may be entitled shall be read to

    4.1.   Disability.

     

    4.1.1   During
the Agreement Term, the Company and Nicor Gas may terminate the Executive’s
employment upon the Executive’s Permanent Disability (as defined in
Section 4.1.2) by giving the Executive or his legal representative, as
applicable, (1) written notice in accordance with Section 11.8 of the
Company’s or Nicor Gas’, as applicable, intention to terminate the Executive’s
employment pursuant to this section, and (2) a certification of the

terminate effective on the 30th day (the “Permanent Disability Effective Date”)
after the Executive’s receipt of such notice unless, before the Permanent
Disability Effective Date, the Executive shall have resumed the full-time
performance of the Executive’s duties.  During the period in which the
Executive has a Disability, the Company or Nicor Gas, as applicable, may appoint
a temporary replacement to assume the Executive’s responsibilities.

     

    4.1.2   The
Executive shall be considered to have a “Permanent Disability” during any period
in which he has a Disability (as defined below); provided, however, that the

incapable, after reasonable accommodation, of performing his duties under this
Agreement on a full-time basis; (ii) such Disability is reasonably expected to
continue for at least another 90 days; and (iii) at the Executive’s
Termination Date, he is eligible for income replacement benefits under the
Company’s or Nicor Gas’ long-term disability plan.  The Executive

physical or mental disability which renders him incapable, after reasonable
accommodation, of performing his duties under this Agreement.

    4.3.2   the
Executive’s conviction (including a plea of guilty or nolo contendere) of a
felony or any crime of fraud, theft, dishonesty or moral turpitude;
or

     

    4.3.3   the
Executive’s material violation of any statutory or common law duty of loyalty to
the Company or Nicor Gas.

     

    For
purposes of this Agreement, no act, or failure to act, on the part
of  the Executive shall be considered “willful” unless it is done, or
omitted to be done, by the Executive in bad faith or without reasonable belief
that the Executive’s action or omission was in the best interests of the Company
or Nicor Gas.  Any act, or failure to act, pursuant to direction
provided by the person to whom the Executive reports, or provided by a
resolution duly adopted by the Board, or pursuant to advice of counsel for the
Company or Nicor Gas, shall be conclusively presumed to be done, or omitted to
be done, by the Executive in good faith and in the best interests of the Company
or Nicor Gas.

Reason.  During the Employment Period, the Executive’s

action or inaction that constitutes a material breach by the Company of this
Agreement;

     

    provided,
however, that the above conditions, as applicable, shall not constitute Good
Reason: (i) unless the Executive gives the Company or Nicor Gas, as applicable,
written notice of such condition and the Company or Nicor Gas, as applicable,
fails to remedy the condition within 30 days of such notice; (ii) if the initial
existence of the condition is more than 90 days before the Executive gives the
Company or Nicor Gas such notice; or (iii) if the Executive has consented in
writing to such condition in a document that makes specific reference to this
Section 4.4.

     

    4.5.   Without
Cause During a Potential Change in Control.  If the Executive’s
employment is terminated by the Company and Nicor Gas, as applicable, without
Cause during a Potential Change in Control, and such date of termination occurs
not more than 180 days prior to the occurrence of a Change in Control and
the Executive establishes by reasonable evidence that such termination of

Cause immediately after the Change in Control; and

Agreement were in full force and effect at the time of the Change in Control,
and at the time of the Executive’s deemed termination of
employment.

     

    4.6.   Right of
Resignation and Termination.  This Agreement does not
constitute a guarantee of continued employment at any time, but instead provides
for certain rights and benefits for the Executive during his employment
following the occurrence of a Change in Control, and in the event his employment
with the Company and Nicor Gas, as applicable, terminates under the
circumstances described herein.  The Company and Nicor Gas, as
applicable, may terminate the employment of the Executive at any time for any
reason, without breach of this Agreement, subject to its obligations set forth
in Article V and elsewhere in this Agreement.  The Executive may
resign from the Company and Nicor Gas, as applicable, for Good Reason, or for
any other reason, without breach of this Agreement, subject to the Executive’s
obligations set forth in this Agreement; provided that, in the event of a
resignation without Good Reason, the Executive shall provide at least four weeks
advance notice of such resignation to the Company and Nicor Gas, as
applicable.

    OBLIGATIONS
OF THE COMPANY UPON TERMINATION

     

    5.1.   If by the
Executive for Good Reason or by the Company and Nicor Gas, as Applicable, Other
Than for Cause or Permanent Disability.  If, during the
Employment Period, the Company and Nicor Gas, as applicable, shall terminate the
Executive’s employment other than for Cause or Permanent Disability, or if the
Executive shall terminate employment for Good Reason, the Company’s and Nicor
Gas’ obligations to the Executive shall be as set forth in this
Section 5.1.  As a precondition to fulfilling such obligations,
the Company shall require the Executive to execute and deliver within 60 days
following his Termination Date a release prepared by the Company and providing
for the Executive’s release of any and all claims against the Company and its
Subsidiaries (and those acting on behalf of them) that may have arisen on or
before the date of the release, which release shall contain such other
reasonable and customary terms as are specified by the
Company.  Notwithstanding any provisions to the contrary, no payments
shall be made or other benefits arise pursuant to this Section 5.1 unless and
until such binding release is effective.  If such release is not
delivered by the Executive within 60 days following the Executive’s Termination
Date, all rights of the Executive with respect to this Agreement and any
benefits hereunder shall be forfeited.

     

    5.1.1   The
Company shall, within five business days of the Payment Date, pay the Executive
a cash payment equal to the sum of the following amounts:

     

    
      
        9

      

      
        
        

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

       

    

    5.1.1.1   to the
extent not previously paid, the Annual Base Salary and any accrued paid time off
through the Termination Date;

     

    5.1.1.2   an amount
equal to the product of (i) the Annual Incentive (as defined in
Section 3.2.2) at target for any Performance Period in which the
Termination Date occurs multiplied by (ii) a fraction, the numerator of
which is the number of days the Executive was actually employed by the Company
during such Performance Period, and the denominator of which is the number
of days in the Performance Period; or, if greater, the amount of any Annual
Incentive otherwise payable to the Executive with respect to a Performance
Period in which the Termination Date occurs, which payment shall be in full
settlement of Annual Incentive amounts due with respect to any such Performance
Period;

     

    5.1.1.3   an amount
equal to the product of (A) three (3) multiplied by (B) the sum of
(i) the Executive’s Annual Base Salary, and (ii) the Severance
Incentive; and

     

    5.1.1.4   an amount
equal to the sum of (A) the balance of the Executive’s accounts forfeited under
the Company’s Savings Investment Plan, or any successor plan, if applicable
(“SIP”) and the Nicor Gas Supplementary Savings Plan (“SSIP”) as a result of
termination of employment, and (B) the sum of (i) the aggregate maximum matching
contributions which the Company would have made on behalf of the Executive to
the SIP and the SSIP for the Severance Period, calculated as if the amount
payable under subsection 5.1.1.3 of this Agreement had been earned equally over
the Severance Period and the Executive had made the maximum allowable voluntary
contributions to the SIP and SSIP, and (ii) the aggregate additional “retirement
growth” contributions, if any, which the Company would have made on behalf of
the Executive for the Severance Period to the SIP and SSIP if the amount payable
under subsection 5.1.1.3 of this Agreement had been earned equally over the
Severance Period.  For purposes of calculating the amount that would
be contributed to the SIP and SSIP for the Severance Period under this Section
5.1.1.4(B), the limits contained in the plan documents and Internal Revenue Code
Sections 415, 402(g) and 401(a)(17), for the year of termination shall
apply.

     

    5.1.2   For
purposes of each of the Executive’s stock options granted under the Company’s
Long Term Incentive Plan (the “LTIP”), any successor plan, or otherwise, that is
or becomes exercisable on the Termination Date, the Executive’s Separation from
Service shall be disregarded, and each such option shall continue to be
exercisable as though the Executive’s employment had continued through the last
day on which such option would be exercisable in the absence of such Separation
from Service (such earlier date being referred to herein as the “Applicable
Expiration Date”).  This Section 5.1.2 shall be applicable
notwithstanding any term of any plan, arrangement, or agreement providing for
early expiration of the option because of the Executive’s Separation from
Service, except for an amendment adopted in accordance with Section 11.7 of
this Agreement and that by its specific terms amends this
Agreement.

    5.1.3   On the
Termination Date (i) the Executive shall become fully vested in, and may
thereupon and until the Applicable Expiration Date of such stock incentive
awards exercise in whole or in part, any and all stock incentive awards granted
to the Executive under the LTIP, any successor plan or otherwise which have not
become exercisable as of the Termination Date; (ii) all performance units
previously awarded to the Executive shall become vested, and a prorated
calculation of the target value of all such units shall be done as of the
Termination Date and full payment of such prorated target value shall be made by
the Company within 30 days after the Termination Date; and (iii) the
Executive shall become fully vested at the prorated target level in any other
cash incentive awards granted for the performance period in which the
Termination Date occurs under the LTIP, a successor plan or otherwise which have
not, as of the Termination Date, become fully vested.

     

    5.1.4   All
forfeiture conditions that as of the Termination Date are applicable to any
deferred stock unit, deferred dividends, restricted stock or restricted share
units awarded to the Executive by the Company pursuant to the LTIP, a successor
plan or otherwise shall lapse immediately (to the extent such awards are
outstanding immediately prior to the Termination
Date).  Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent such awards are
subject to performance criteria, a prorated calculation of the target value of
such awards shall be performed and forfeiture conditions shall lapse only with
respect to the portion of such awards attributable to such prorated
value.

     

    5.1.5   During
the Severance Period (or until such later date as any Welfare Plan of the
Company may specify), the Company shall continue to provide to the Executive and
the Executive’s family welfare benefits (including, without limitation, medical,
prescription, dental, disability, individual life and group life insurance
benefits) which are at least as favorable as those provided under the most
favorable Welfare Plans of the Company applicable (i) with respect to the
Executive and his family during the 90-day period immediately preceding the
Termination Date, or (ii) with respect to other senior executives and their
families during the Severance Period.  In determining benefits under
such Welfare Plans, the Executive’s annual compensation attributable to base
salary and incentives for any plan year or calendar year, as applicable, shall
be deemed to be not less than the Executive’s Annual Base Salary and Target
Annual Incentive.  The cost of the welfare benefits provided under
this Section 5.1.5 shall not exceed the cost of such benefits to the
Executive immediately before the Termination Date or, if less, the Effective
Date.  All such benefit payments shall be made no later than December
31 of the year following the year in which the expense was
incurred.  The amount of benefits provided in one year shall not
affect the amounts provided in any subsequent year.  Such benefits
shall not be subject to liquidation or exchange for another
benefit.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Executive obtains
comparable coverage under any Welfare Plans sponsored by another employer, then
the amount of coverage required to be provided by the Company hereunder shall be
reduced by the amount of coverage provided by such other employer’s Welfare
Plans.  The Executive’s rights under this Section shall be in
addition to and not in lieu of any post-termination continuation coverage or
conversion rights the Executive may have pursuant to applicable law, including,
without limitation, continuation coverage required by Section  4980B of the
Code.  For purposes of determining eligibility for (but not the time
of commencement of) retiree benefits under any Welfare Plans of the Company, the
Executive shall be considered (i) to have remained employed until the last
day of the Severance Period and to have retired on the last 

     

    
      
        11

      

      
        
        

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

     

    day of
such period, and (ii) to have attained the age the Executive would have
attained on the last day of the Severance Period.

     

    5.1.6   If the
Executive participates in the Company’s nonqualified supplemental executive
retirement plan (“SERP”), the amount payable under subsection 5.1.1.3 of
this Agreement shall be taken into account for purposes of determining the
amount of benefits to which the Executive is entitled under the SERP; provided
that such amount shall be taken into account as though it was earned equally
over the Severance Period, and further provided that the Executive shall be
deemed to have attained the age he or she would have attained as of the last day
of the Severance Period, and completed the number of years of service he or she
would have completed as of the last day of the Severance Period.  The
Severance Period shall be taken into account for purposes of determining the
amount of and eligibility to begin to receive benefits under the
SERP.

     

    5.1.7   If the
Executive participates in the Company’s nonqualified Supplemental Senior Officer
Retirement Plan (“SSORP”), on the Termination Date (i) the Executive shall
become fully vested in all contributions (and in any earnings applied to such
contributions) made by the Company on behalf of the Executive under the SSORP or
any successor plan, if applicable, and (ii) the Company shall immediately make
an additional contribution to the SSORP of an amount equal to the product of (x)
the Annual Deferral Percentage (as defined in the SSORP) used for the most
recently completed SSORP Plan Year, times (y) the amount payable under
subsection 5.1.1.3 of this Agreement.

     

    5.1.8   During
the Severance Period, the Company shall, at its sole expense, as incurred, pay
on behalf of Executive all fees and costs charged by a nationally recognized
outplacement firm selected by the Company (subject to approval by the Executive,
which shall not be withheld unreasonably) to provide outplacement
services.  The amount of expenses incurred in one year shall not
affect the amounts paid in any subsequent year.

     

    5.2.   If by the
Company and Nicor Gas for Cause.  If the Company and Nicor Gas,
as applicable, terminates the Executive’s  employment for Cause during
the Employment Period, this Agreement shall terminate without further obligation
by the Company and Nicor Gas, as applicable, to the Executive, other than the
obligation immediately to pay the Executive in cash the Executive’s Annual Base
Salary through the Termination Date, plus any accrued paid time off, in each
case to the extent not previously paid.

     

    5.3.   If by the
Executive Other Than for Good Reason.  If the Executive
terminates employment during the Employment Period other than for Good Reason
(including, but not by way of limitation, voluntary retirement), and other than
for Disability or death, this Agreement shall terminate without further
obligation by the Executive or by the Company, other than the obligation of the
Company immediately to pay the Executive in cash the Executive’s Annual Base
Salary through the Termination Date, plus any accrued paid time off, in each
case to the extent not previously paid.

     

    5.4.   If by the
Company and Nicor Gas, as applicable, for Permanent
Disability.  If the Company or Nicor Gas, as applicable,
terminates the Executive’s employment by reason of 

     

    
      
        12

      

      
        
        

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

     

    the
Executive’s Permanent Disability during the Employment Period, this Agreement
shall terminate without further obligation to the Executive, other
than:

     

    5.4.1   the
Company’s obligation immediately to pay the Executive in cash all amounts
specified in Sections 5.1.1.1, and 5.1.1.2, in each case, to the extent unpaid
as of the Termination Date (such amounts collectively, the “Accrued
Obligations”), and

     

    5.4.2   the
Executive’s right after the Permanent Disability Effective Date to receive
disability and other benefits at least equal to the greater of (i) those
provided under the most favorable disability Plans applicable to disabled senior
executives of the Company in effect immediately before the Termination Date, or
(ii) those provided under the most favorable disability Plans of the
Company in effect at any time during the 90-day period immediately before the
Effective Date.

     

    5.5.   If upon
Death.  If the Executive’s employment is terminated by reason
of the Executive’s death during the Employment Period, this Agreement shall
terminate without further obligation to the Executive’s legal representatives
under this Agreement, other than the obligation immediately to pay the
Executive’s estate or beneficiary in cash all Accrued
Obligations.  Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the
contrary, the Executive’s family shall be entitled to receive benefits at least
equal to the most favorable benefits provided under Plans of the Company to the
surviving families of senior executives of the Company, but in no event shall
such Plans provide benefits which in each case are less favorable, in the
aggregate, than the most favorable of those provided by the Company to the
Executive under such Plans in effect at any time during the 90-day period
immediately before the Effective Date.

    CERTAIN
ADDITIONAL PAYMENTS BY THE COMPANY

     

    6.1.   Gross-up
for Certain Taxes.

     

    6.1.1   If it is
determined by the Company’s independent auditors that any benefit received or
deemed received by the Executive from the Company pursuant to this Agreement or
otherwise, whether or not in connection with a Change in Control (such monetary
or other benefits collectively, the “Potential Parachute Payments”) is or will
become subject to any excise tax under Section 4999 of the Code or any
similar tax payable under any United States federal, state, local or other law
(such excise tax and all such similar taxes collectively, “Excise Taxes”), then
the Company shall, subject to Sections 6.6 and 6.7, within five business
days after such determination, pay the Executive an amount (the “Gross-up
Payment”) equal to the product of:

     

    (a)           the
amount of such Excise Taxes multiplied by

     

    (b)           the
Gross-up Multiple (as defined in Section 6.4).  The Gross-up
Payment is intended to compensate the Executive for all Excise Taxes payable by
the Executive with respect to the Potential Parachute Payments and any federal,
state, local or other income or other taxes or Excise Taxes payable by the
Executive with respect to the Gross-up Payment.

     

    
      
        13

      

      
        
        

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

       

    

    6.1.2   The
determination of the Company’s independent auditors described in
Section 6.1.1, including the detailed calculations of the amounts of the
Potential Parachute Payments, Excise Taxes and Gross-up Payment and the
assumptions relating thereto, shall be set forth in a written certificate of
such auditors (the “Company Certificate”) delivered to the
Executive.  The Executive or the Company may at any time request the
preparation and delivery to the Executive of a Company
Certificate.  The Company shall cause the Company Certificate to be
delivered to the Executive as soon as reasonably possible after such
request.

     

    6.1.3   All
determinations by the Company’s auditors under this Section 6.1 shall be made
using reasonable good faith interpretations of the Code, the regulations and
other guidance issued thereunder.

     

    6.2.   Determination
by the Executive.

     

    6.2.1   If
(i) the Company shall fail to deliver a Company Certificate to the
Executive within 30 days after its receipt of his written request therefor,
or (ii) at any time after the Executive’s receipt of a Company Certificate,
the Executive disputes either (x) the amount of the Gross-up Payment set
forth therein, or (y) the determination set forth therein to the effect
that no Gross-up Payment is due (whether by reason of Section 6.7 or
otherwise), then the Executive may elect to require the Company to pay a
Gross-up Payment in the amount determined by the Executive as set forth in an
Executive Counsel Opinion (as defined in Section 6.5).  Any such
demand by the Executive shall be made by delivery to the Company of a written
notice which specifies the Gross-up Payment determined by the Executive
(together with the detailed calculations of the amounts of Potential Parachute
Payments, Excise Taxes and Gross-up Payment and the assumptions relating
thereto) and an Executive Counsel Opinion regarding such Gross-up Payment (such
written notice and opinion collectively, the “Executive’s
Determination”).  Within 30 days after delivery of an Executive’s
Determination to the Company, the Company shall either (i) pay the
Executive the Gross-up Payment set forth in Executive’s Determination (less the
portion thereof, if any, previously paid to Executive by the Company) or
(ii) deliver to the Executive a Company Certificate and a Company Counsel
Opinion (as defined in Section 6.5), and pay the Executive the Gross-up
Payment specified in such Company Certificate.  If for any reason the
Company fails to comply with the preceding sentence, the Gross-up Payment
specified in the Executive’s Determination shall be controlling for all
purposes.

     

    6.2.2   If the
Executive does not request a Company Certificate, and the Company does not
deliver a Company Certificate to the Executive, then (i) the Company shall,
for purposes of Section 6.7, be deemed to have determined that no Gross-up
Payment is due, and (ii) the Executive shall not pay any Excise Taxes in
respect of Potential Parachute Payments, except in accordance with
Sections 6.6.1 or 6.6.4.

     

    6.3.   Additional
Gross-up Amounts.  If for any reason it is later determined
(whether pursuant to the subsequently-enacted provisions of the Code, final
regulations or published rulings of the IRS, a final judgment of a court of
competent jurisdiction, a determination of the Company’s independent auditors
set forth in a Company Certificate or, subject to the last two sentences of
Section 6.2.1, an Executive’s Determination) that the amount of Excise
Taxes 

     

    
      
        14

      

      
        
        

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

     

    payable
by the Executive is greater than the amount determined by the Company or the
Executive pursuant to Section 6.1 or 6.2, as applicable, then the Company
shall, subject to Sections 6.6 and 6.7, pay the Executive an amount (which
shall also be deemed a Gross-up Payment) equal to the product of:

     

    (a)           the
sum of (1) such additional Excise Taxes and (2) any interest, fines,
penalties, expenses or other costs incurred by the Executive as a result of
having taken a position in accordance with determination made pursuant to
Section 6.1 or 6.2, as applicable,

     

    multiplied
by

     

    (b)           the
Gross-up Multiple.

     

    6.4.   Gross-up
Multiple.  The Gross-up Multiple shall equal a fraction, the
numerator of which is one (1.0), and the denominator of which is
one (1.0) minus the lesser of (i) the sum, expressed as a decimal
fraction, of the effective marginal tax rates of all federal, state, local and
other income and other taxes and any Excise Taxes applicable to the Gross-up
Payment; or (ii) 0.80, it being intended that the Gross-up Multiple shall
in no event exceed five (5.0).  (If different rates of tax are
applicable to various portions of a Gross-up Payment, the weighted average of
such rates shall be used.)

     

    6.5.   Opinion
of Counsel.  “Executive Counsel Opinion” means an opinion of
nationally-recognized executive compensation counsel to the effect (i) that
the amount of the Gross-up Payment determined by the Executive pursuant to
Section 6.2 is the amount that a court of competent jurisdiction, based on
a final judgment not subject to further appeal, is most likely to decide to have
been calculated in accordance with this Article and applicable law and
(ii) if the Company has previously delivered a Company Certificate to the
Executive, that there is no reasonable basis or no substantial authority for the
calculation of the Gross-up Payment set forth in the Company
Certificate.  “Company Counsel Opinion” means an opinion of
nationally-recognized executive compensation counsel to the effect that
(i) the amount of the Gross-up Payment set forth in the Company Certificate
is the amount that a court of competent jurisdiction, based on a final judgment
not subject to further appeal, is most likely to decide to have been calculated
in accordance with this Article and applicable law and (ii) for purposes of
Section 6662 of the Code, the Executive has substantial authority to report
on his federal income tax return the amount of Excise Taxes set forth in the
Company Certificate.

     

    6.6.   Amount
Increased or Contested.

     

    6.6.1   The
Executive shall notify the Company in writing (an “Executive’s Notice”) of any
claim by the IRS or other taxing authority (an “IRS Claim”) that, if successful,
would require the payment by the Executive of Excise Taxes in respect of
Potential Parachute Payments in an amount in excess of the amount of such Excise
Taxes determined in accordance with Section 6.1 or 6.2, as
applicable.  Such Executive’s Notice shall include the nature and
amount of such IRS Claim, the date on which such IRS Claim is due to be paid
(the “IRS Claim Deadline”), and a copy of all notices and other documents or
correspondence received by the 

     

    
      
        15

      

      
        
        

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

     

    Executive
in respect of such IRS Claim.  The Executive shall give the
Executive’s Notice as soon as practicable, but no later than the earlier of
(i) 10 business days after the Executive first obtains actual
knowledge of such IRS Claim or (ii) five business days before the IRS Claim
Deadline; provided, however, that the Executive’s failure to give such notice
shall affect the Company’s obligations under this Article only to the extent
that the Company is actually prejudiced by such failure.  If at least
one business day before the IRS Claim Deadline the Company shall:

     

    6.6.1.1   deliver
to the Executive a Company Certificate to the effect that the IRS Claim has been
reviewed by the Company’s independent auditors and, notwithstanding the IRS
Claim, the amount of Excise Taxes, interest and penalties payable by the
Executive is either zero or an amount less than the amount specified in the IRS
Claim,

     

    6.6.1.2   pay to
the Executive an amount (which shall also be deemed a Gross-up Payment) equal to
the positive difference between (x) the product of the amount of Excise
Taxes, interest and penalties specified in the Company Certificate, if any,
multiplied by the Gross-up Multiple, and (y) the portion of such product,
if any, previously paid to the Executive by the Company, and

     

    6.6.1.3   direct
the Executive pursuant to Section 6.6.4 to contest the balance of the IRS
Claim, then the Executive shall pay only the amount, if any, of Excise Taxes,
interest and penalties specified in the Company Certificate.  In no
event shall the Executive pay an IRS Claim earlier than 30 days after having
given an Executive’s Notice to the Company (or, if sooner, the IRS Claim
Deadline).

     

    6.6.2   At any
time after the payment by the Executive of any amount of Excise Taxes or related
interest or penalties in respect of Potential Parachute Payments (whether or not
such amount was based upon a Company Certificate or an Executive’s
Determination), the Company may in its discretion require the Executive to
pursue a claim for a refund (“Refund Claim”) of all or any portion of such
Excise Taxes, interest or penalties as the Company may specify by written notice
to the Executive.

     

    6.6.3   If the
Company notifies the Executive in writing that the Company desires the Executive
to contest an IRS Claim or to pursue a Refund Claim, the Executive
shall:

     

    6.6.3.1   give the
Company all information that it reasonably requests in writing from time to time
relating to such IRS Claim or Refund Claim, as applicable,

     

    6.6.3.2   take such
action in connection with such IRS Claim or Refund Claim (as applicable) as the
Company reasonably requests in writing from time to time, including accepting
legal representation with respect thereto by an attorney selected by the
Company, subject to the approval of the Executive (which approval shall not be
unreasonably withheld or delayed),

     

    
      
        16

      

      
        
        

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

     

    6.6.3.3   cooperate
with the Company in good faith to contest such IRS Claim or pursue such Refund
Claim, as applicable,

     

    6.6.3.4   permit
the Company to participate in any proceedings relating to such IRS Claim or
Refund Claim, as applicable, and

     

    6.6.3.5   contest
such IRS Claim or prosecute such Refund Claim (as applicable) to a determination
before any administrative tribunal, in a court of initial jurisdiction and in
one or more appellate courts, as the Company may from time to time determine in
its discretion.

     

    The
Company shall control all proceedings in connection with such IRS Claim or
Refund Claim (as applicable) and in its discretion may cause the Executive to
pursue or forego any and all administrative appeals, proceedings, hearings and
conferences with the IRS or other taxing authority in respect of such IRS Claim
or Refund Claim (as applicable); provided that (i) any extension of the
statute of limitations relating to payment of taxes for the taxable year of the
Executive relating to the IRS Claim is limited solely to such IRS Claim,
(ii) the Company’s control of the IRS Claim or Refund Claim (as applicable)
shall be limited to issues with respect to which a Gross-up Payment would be
payable, and (iii) the Executive shall be entitled to settle or contest, as
the case may be, any other issue raised by the IRS or other taxing
authority.

     

    6.6.4   The
Company may at any time in its discretion direct the Executive to
(i) contest the IRS Claim in any lawful manner or (ii) pay the amount
specified in an IRS Claim and pursue a Refund Claim; provided, however, that if
the Company directs the Executive to pay an IRS Claim and pursue a Refund Claim,
the Company shall advance the amount of such payment to the Executive on an
interest-free basis and shall indemnify the Executive, on an after-tax basis,
for any income or other applicable taxes or Excise Tax, and any related interest
or penalties imposed with respect to such advance.

     

    6.6.5   The
Company shall pay directly all legal, accounting and other costs and expenses
(including additional interest and penalties) incurred by the Company or the
Executive in connection with any IRS Claim or Refund Claim, as applicable, and
shall indemnify the Executive, on an after-tax basis, for any income or other
applicable taxes, Excise Tax and related interest and penalties imposed on the
Executive as a result of such payment of costs and expenses.

     

    6.7.   Refunds.  If, after the
receipt by the Executive of any payment or advance of Excise Taxes advanced by
the Company pursuant to Section 6.6, the Executive receives any refund with
respect to such claim, the Executive shall (subject to the Company’s complying
with the requirements of Section 6.6) promptly pay the Company the amount
of such refund (together with any interest paid or credited thereon after taxes
applicable thereto).  If, after the receipt by the Executive of an
amount advanced by the Company pursuant to Section 6.6, a determination is
made that the Executive shall not be entitled to any refund with respect to such
claim and the Company does not notify the Executive in writing of its intent to
contest such determination within 30 days after the Company receives
written notice of such determination, then such advance shall be forgiven and
shall not be required to be repaid and the amount of such advance

    shall
offset, to the extent thereof, the amount of Gross-up Payment required to be
paid.  Any contest of a denial of refund shall be controlled by
Section 6.6.

     

    6.8.   Payments.  All
amounts payable to Executive under Section 6.1, 6.3 or 6.6 shall be paid as soon
as practicable after a Change in Control or other event giving rise to any
payment of the Excise Tax by the Executive, but no later than the December 31 of
the year next following the year in which the Executive, or the Company on
behalf of the Executive, remits the Excise Tax.

    EXPENSES
AND INTEREST

     

    7.1.   Legal
Fees and Other Expenses.

     

    7.1.1   During
the Employment Period and for a period of ten (10) years following the
Termination Date, if the Executive incurs legal fees or other expenses in an
effort to secure, preserve, establish entitlement to, or obtain benefits under
this Agreement (including, without limitation, the fees and other expenses of
the Executive’s legal counsel in connection with the delivery of the Executive
Counsel opinion referred to in Section 6.5), then the Company shall, regardless
of the outcome of such effort, promptly reimburse the Executive on a current
basis for such fees and expenses following the Executive’s written submission of
a request for reimbursement together with evidence that such fees and expenses
were incurred.  All such expenses shall be reimbursed by December 31
of the year following the year in which the expense was incurred.  The
amount of expenses reimbursed in one year shall not affect the amount eligible
for reimbursement in any subsequent year.

     

    7.1.2   If the
Executive does not prevail (after exhaustion of all available judicial remedies)
in respect of a claim by the Executive or by the Company hereunder, and the
Company establishes before a court of competent jurisdiction, by clear and
convincing evidence, that the Executive had no reasonable basis for his claim
hereunder, or for his response to the Company’s claim hereunder, and acted in
bad faith, no further reimbursement for legal fees and expenses shall be due to
the Executive in respect of such claim and the Executive shall refund any
amounts previously reimbursed hereunder with respect to such claim.

     

    7.2.   Interest.  Except for any
required delay under Section 11.16, if the Company and Nicor Gas, as applicable,
does not pay any amount due to the Executive under this Agreement within three
days after such amount became due and owing, interest shall accrue on such
amount from the date it became due and owing until the date of payment at an
annual rate equal to 200 basis points above the base commercial lending rate
published in The Wall Street Journal in effect from time to time during the
period of such nonpayment.

    NO
SET-OFF OR MITIGATION

     

    8.1.   No
Set-off by Company.  The Executive’s right to receive when due
the payments and other benefits provided for under this Agreement is absolute,
unconditional and 

     

    
      
        18

      

      
        
        

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

     

    subject
to no set-off, counterclaim or legal or equitable defense.  Any claim
which the Company may have against the Executive, whether for a breach of this
Agreement or otherwise, shall be brought in a separate action or proceeding and
not as part of any action or proceeding brought by the Executive to enforce any
rights against the Company under this Agreement.

     

    8.2.   No
Mitigation.  The Executive shall not have any duty to mitigate
the amounts payable by the Company and Nicor Gas, as applicable, under this
Agreement by seeking new employment following termination.  Except as
specifically otherwise provided in this Agreement, all amounts payable pursuant
to this Agreement shall be paid without reduction regardless of any amounts of
salary, compensation or other amounts which may be paid or payable to the
Executive as the result of the Executive’s employment by another
employer.

    NON-EXCLUSIVITY
OF RIGHTS

     

    9.1.   Waiver of
Other Severance Rights.  Except as may be otherwise
specifically provided in an amendment of this Section 9.1 adopted in
accordance with Section 11.7 of this Agreement, the Executive’s rights
under Section 5.1 of this Agreement shall be in lieu of any benefits that
may be otherwise payable to or on behalf of the Executive pursuant to the terms
of any severance pay arrangement of the Company or any Subsidiary or any other,
similar arrangement of the Company or any Subsidiary providing benefits upon
involuntary termination of employment and shall also be in lieu of any benefits
under the Nicor Inc. Executive/Key Employee Severance Benefits Program
(notwithstanding any provision of that program to the contrary); provided,
however, that this Section 9.1 shall not affect the Executive’s rights to
receive any benefits with respect to a termination of employment that occurs
outside of the Employment Period.  To the extent Executive receives
severance or similar payments and/or benefits under any other plan, program,
agreement, policy, practice, or the like of Nicor Gas, the Company or any
Subsidiary, or under the WARN Act or similar state law, the payments and
benefits due to Executive under this Agreement will be correspondingly reduced
on a dollar-for-dollar basis (or vice-versa).

     

    9.2.   Other
Rights.  Except as provided in Section 9.1, this Agreement
shall not prevent or limit the Executive’s continuing or future participation in
any benefit, bonus, incentive or other plans provided by the Company or any
Subsidiary and for which the Executive may qualify, nor shall this Agreement
limit or otherwise affect such rights as the Executive may have under any other
agreements with the Company or any Subsidiary.  Amounts which are
vested benefits or which the Executive is otherwise entitled to receive under
any plan of the Company or any Subsidiary and any other payment or benefit
required by law at or after the Termination Date shall be payable in accordance
with such Plan or applicable law except as expressly modified by this
Agreement.

    CONFIDENTIALITY

     

    10.1.  Confidentiality.  The
Executive acknowledges that it is the policy of the Company and its Subsidiaries
to maintain as secret and confidential all valuable and unique

    information
and techniques acquired, developed or used by the Company and its Subsidiaries
relating to their business, operations, employees and customers, which gives the
Company and its Subsidiaries a competitive advantage in the transmission,
distribution, marketing, or sale of natural gas or in the energy services
industry and other businesses in which the Company and its Subsidiaries are
engaged (“Confidential Information”).  The Executive recognizes that
all such Confidential Information is the sole and exclusive property of the
Company and its Subsidiaries, and that disclosure of Confidential Information
would cause damage to the Company and its Subsidiaries. The Executive agrees
that, except as required by the duties of his employment with the Company or its
Subsidiaries and except in connection with enforcing the Executive’s rights
under this Agreement or if compelled by a court or governmental agency, he will
not, without the consent of the Company, disseminate or otherwise disclose any
Confidential Information obtained during his employment with the Company or its
Subsidiaries until such time as such information has been disclosed publicly by
the Company or one of its Subsidiaries, or with its consent, or is otherwise a
matter of public knowledge (unless the Executive has reason to know that such
information became a matter of public knowledge through an unauthorized
disclosure).

     

    10.2.  Remedy.  The
Executive and the Company specifically agree that, in the event that the
Executive shall breach his obligations under this Article X, the Company
and its Subsidiaries will suffer irreparable injury and shall be entitled to
injunctive relief therefor, and shall not be precluded from pursuing any and all
remedies it may have at law or in equity for breach of such obligations;
provided, however, that such breach shall not in any manner or degree whatsoever
limit, reduce or otherwise affect the obligations of the Company or Nicor Gas,
as applicable, under this Agreement, and in no event shall an asserted breach of
the Executive’s obligations under this Article X constitute a basis for
deferring or withholding any amounts otherwise payable to the Executive under
this Agreement.

    MISCELLANEOUS

     

    11.1.  No
Assignability.  This Agreement is personal to the Executive and
without the prior written consent of the Company shall not be assignable by the
Executive otherwise than by will or the laws of descent and
distribution.  This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be
enforceable by the Executive’s legal representatives.

     

    11.2.  Successors.  Before
or upon the consummation of any Change in Control, the Company shall obtain from
each individual, group or entity, if any, that becomes a successor of the
Company by reason of the Change in Control, the unconditional written agreement
of such individual, group or entity to assume this Agreement and to perform all
of the obligations of the Company hereunder.

     

    11.3.  Payments
to Beneficiary.  If the Executive dies before receiving amounts
to which the Executive is entitled under this Agreement, such amounts shall be
paid in a lump sum to the beneficiary designated in writing by the Executive, or
if none is so designated, to the Executive’s estate.

    11.4.  Nonalienation
of Benefits.  Benefits payable under this Agreement shall not
be subject in any manner to anticipation, alienation, sale, transfer,
assignment, pledge, encumbrance, charge, garnishment, execution or levy of any
kind, either voluntary or involuntary, before actually being received by the
Executive, and any such attempt to dispose of any right to benefits payable
under this Agreement shall be void.

     

    11.5.  Severability.  If any one or
more articles, sections or other portions of this Agreement are declared by any
court or governmental authority to be unlawful or invalid, such unlawfulness or
invalidity shall not serve to invalidate any article, section or other portion
not so declared to be unlawful or invalid.  Any article, section or
other portion so declared to be unlawful or invalid shall be construed so as to
effectuate the terms of such article, section or other portion to the fullest
extent possible while remaining lawful and valid.

     

    11.6.  Arbitration.  Any and all
disputes between the parties hereto arising out of this Agreement (other than
disputes related to Article VI or to an alleged breach of the covenant
contained in Article X) shall be settled by arbitration before an impartial
arbitrator pursuant to the rules and regulations of the American Arbitration
Association (AAA) pertaining to the arbitration of commercial
disputes.  Either party may invoke the right to
arbitration.  The arbitrator shall be selected by means of the parties
striking alternatively from a panel of seven arbitrators supplied by the Chicago
office of AAA.  The Arbitrator shall have the authority to interpret
and apply the provisions of this Agreement, consistent with Section 11.10
below.  The decision of the arbitrator shall be final and binding upon
the parties.  Judgment may be entered on the award in any court of
competent jurisdiction.  The arbitrator’s fees and expenses shall be
borne by the Company.

     

    11.7.  Amendments.  This Agreement
shall not be altered, amended or modified except by written instrument executed
by the Company and the Executive.

    11.16.2     
Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this Agreement, if Executive is

for purposes of Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code, to the extent delayed
commencement of any portion of the benefits to which Executive is entitled under
Section 5.1 or 5.4 of this Agreement

expiration of the six-month period measured from the date of Executive’s

              The
      management of the Company and the direction of the working forces covered
      herein, including the right to hire, suspend, discharge for proper cause,
      promote, demote, transfer and layoff because of lack of work or for other

              2.  

            	
              In
      the election conducted by the National Labor Relations Board, the Union
      has been duly authorized to make the agreement set out in this
      Section.  In the interest of cooperation and harmonious
      relationship, the Company and the Union agree
  that:

            

    

    

    (a) All
regular and part-time regular employees, other than guards, who on August 1,
1946, were members of the Union, and all employees, other than guards, who
become members after that date, shall as a condition of employment, maintain
their membership in the Union during the term of this Agreement.  The
Union, their officers and their members, shall not intimidate or coerce
employees into joining the Union.

     

    (b) All
persons, other than guards, hired after July 31, 1946, shall as a condition of
employment, join the Union after 30 days of employment as a regular employee and
maintain membership in the Union during the term of the Agreement.

    

    (c) The
Union will accept into membership any present employees and all persons hired
after July 31, 1946, upon reasonable terms and conditions.  Employees
in job classifications, deemed by the parties to perform the functions of
guards, were excluded from participation in the above mentioned election
conducted by the National Labor Relations Board.

              3.  

            	
              The
      Company agrees that during the period of this Agreement there shall be no
      lock-out of members of the Union.  The Union and its membership,
      individually and collectively, agree that there shall be no strike, or
      other interruption of work, it being the desire of all parties to provide
      an uninterrupted service to the
public.

            

    

    

    
      	
              4.  

            	
              There
      shall be no discrimination, interference, restraint or coercion by the
      Company, or any of its agents, against any employee because of their
      membership in the Union or because of any lawful activities on behalf of
      the Union.

            

    

    

    The
Union, or its agents, will not solicit members, engage in organization work, or
any other Union activi­ties during the working time of employees except as
provided in Article VIII of this Agreement.

    

    
      	
              5.  

            	
              Neither
      the Company nor the Union, through their officers, members,
      representatives, agents, or committees, shall engage in any activity of
      any kind for the purpose of defeating or evading the terms of this
      Agreement.

      definite space shall be allotted for this
  purpose.

            

    

    

    
      	
              7.  

            	
              The
      Company and the Union agree that neither shall discriminate among
      employees in the application of the provisions of this Agreement because
      of an employee's race, color, religion, sex, national origin or
      disability.  The Company and the Union also agree that, as
      provided by applicable laws, neither shall discriminate among employees in
      the application of the provisions of this Agreement because of
      age.

            

    

    

    
      	
              8.  

            	
              The
      Company will deduct, during the term of this Agreement, regular, monthly
      Union membership dues from the wages of each employee from whom the
      Company has received an individual, voluntary authorization for such
      deduction.  Said authorization shall be irrevocable for a period
      of one year from the date of execution thereof by the employee, or until
      the termination date of this Agreement, whichever occurs sooner, but if
      not revoked in the following manner shall be auto­matically renewed
      from year to year.  Employees may revoke their dues deduction
      authorization forms by sending written notice, by certified mail, return
      receipt requested, to the General Manager Labor Relations and Facility
      Services of the Company and to the President of the Local Union,
      postmarked within ten days following (i) the expiration of any yearly
      period subsequent to the date of authorization, or (ii) the date of
      termination of the applicable collective bargaining agreement between the
      Company and the Union, whichever occurs sooner.  The Company
      will deduct the union dues bi-weekly, from each paycheck which is
      sufficient in amount for such deductions to be made therefrom, in the
      amounts specified in writing by the Union.  The Company will
      remit immediately said deductions to the Financial Secretary of Local 19,
      together with a list of the names of the employees for whom deductions
      have been made, the amount deducted for each employee, and the names of
      any employees who have quit, been discharged, or otherwise terminated, or
      who have been hired, since the prior bi-weekly deductions were
      made.

            

    

    

    The
individual voluntary authorization forms for payroll deduction of monthly union
dues and initiation fees shall be presented to new employees by the Company
prior to completion of his/her probationary period.

    

    The Union
will indemnify and save the Company harmless against any and all claims, demands
or other forms of liability which may arise out of or by reason of action taken
or not taken by the

              1.  

            	
              This
      Article shall apply to those carried on the payroll as "regular" employees
      and “part-time regular” employees and shall not apply to those carried on
      the payroll as "temporary" employees.  Regular and part-time
      regular employees are engaged without time limitation and temporary
      employees are engaged for a limited period in jobs, which will not result
      in loss of regular employment for regular and part-time regular
      employees.

            

    

    

    
      	
              2.  

            	
              A
      new employee, other than one classified as temporary, shall be termed a
      "probationary" employee. The probationary period shall be 120 calendar
      days. Extensions to the probationary period will be granted by mutual
      consent.  Upon the completion of the probationary period the
      employee shall be placed on the seniority list as a regular or a part-time
      regular employee and immediately credited with the seniority and service,
      which accumulated during the probationary period.  A
      probationary employee may be discharged any time prior to the end of the
      proba­tionary period.  The discharge of a probationary
      employee shall not be subject to the provisions of Article
      VIII.

            

    

    

    
      	
              3.  

            	
              Length
      of employment in the Company (or in any predecessor company) shall be
      "service."  Service will be in accordance with the Company
      records but cannot include time spent in the Company prior to a break in
      service which has not been joined.  For promotional purposes,
      “service” is defined as promotional service
  date.

            

    

    

    
      	
              4.  

            	
              During
      the term of this Agreement the Company will supply, to the Union, lists
      showing service of regular employees as of January 1, and July 1, of each
      year.

            

    

    

    
      	
              5.  

            	
              Each
      month the Company will inform the Union of personnel changes within the
      bargaining unit.

            

    

    

    
      	
              6.  

            	
              A
      job classification shall be "higher" when it carries a higher schedule
      maximum.  "Promotion" shall mean advancement to a higher job
      classification.

            

    

    

    
      	
              7.  

            	
              In
      cases of promotion to higher job classifications within the bargaining
      unit, the factors to be considered shall be ability and service in
      accordance with Exhibit B.  Where the ability of the employees
      under consideration is substantially equal, the employee highest on the
      seniority list will be the one promoted.  In case of promotion,
      if the employee who is highest on the seniority list is not selected, the
      employee shall be informed by the Company of the reason why he/she was not
      promoted. The Union will be furnished the names of employees not promoted
      in accordance with service.  An employee demoted for inability
      to perform satisfactorily the work of his/her job classification shall not
      be eligible for promotion for the next 12
  months.

            

    

    

    Physical
employees demoted at their own request will not be eligible for promotion (other
than Star-X) for a 24-month period after the demotion.

    

    Clerical
employees who voluntarily demote will not be eligible for a promotion to any job
classification for 24 months after their demotion.

              When
      a vacancy occurs or when a new position is created within the bargaining
      unit above the entrance

                job
      classifications, the Company shall post a notice on the bulletin boards in
      the seniority unit, for a period of ten calendar days, excluding Sundays,
      and holidays, announcing the position open. The entrance job
      classifications referred to are those indicated in Exhibit B. Employees
      desiring to be considered should make written application to the Human
      Resource Department, setting forth their qualifications. Employees who do
      not make application within the period of posting of the notice shall have
      no grievance. Promotion of employees who apply under this Section 8 shall
      be in accordance with the factors set forth in Exhibit B which are
      applicable to the particular job vacancy applied
  for.

              

      

    

     

    If no
qualified employee is available for the vacancy or newly created job
classification, either from the next lower job classification in the applicable
line of promotion and demotion in Exhibit B or as a result of the bidding
procedure, then the Company may select any employee or hire someone to fill such
job after notifying the Union.

    

    
      	
              9.  

            	
              An
      employee's choice not to accept a promotion or transfer shall have no
      effect upon his/her future opportunities for
  promotion.

            

    

    

    
      	
              10.  

            	
              An
      employee promoted shall be given a qualifying period up to 90 calendar
      days after certifi­cation, or up to 120 calendar
      days after a promotion without certification requirements, for
      determination as to whether or not he/she can meet the job
      requirements.  When required, extensions to the qualifying
      period may be granted by mutual consent of the Company and the
      Union.  If it is decided that the employee who has been selected
      for promotion is not competent to perform satisfactorily the work of the
      new job classification, the employee will be transferred back to his/her
      former job classification.

            

    

    

    
      	
              11.  

            	
              The
      Company will afford the senior employee in a job classification a
      reasonable opportunity to be trained for the next higher job in his/her
      line of promotion and demotion to the extent that the Company finds it
      practicable to provide such training, taking into account the job
      requirements and working conditions
involved.

            

    

    

    This
policy is predicated on the understanding between the Company and the Union that
such training will not affect the Company's right to assign any work to an
individual at any particular time.

    

    
      	
              12.  

            	
              Whenever
      it becomes necessary to reduce the number of employees in a job
      classification due to lack of work, the Company will negotiate with the
      Union in an effort to formulate a program for spreading the work, moving
      employees between regions, areas, departments, zones, lines of promotion
      and demotion or job classifi­cations, or for other appropriate
      action.  If the Company and the Union are unable to agree on
      such a program within 30 calendar days after the Union is notified of the
      situation, the following ground rules shall
  apply:

            

    

    

    (a)
Temporary employees first, and then probationary employees shall be laid off
from the classification affected, but shall not have any rights to displace
other employees.

    

    (b)
Employees laid off from job classifi­cations will be laid off according to
their service in the job classification.

    

    The
procedure to be followed should a layoff occur is as follows:

    

    Employees laid off from their
classification may displace the employee with the least service in the next
lowest job classification.  If laid off from the lowest job
classifications, the employee may then

    displace
in the following order:

    

    (1)
Temporary employee

    

    (2) A
probationary employee

    

    (3) The
employee with the least service in an equal or lower job classification provided
that the former employee has more service than the latter and can perform
satisfactorily the work of the other job classification.

    

    
      	
              13.  

            	
              Should
      there be a reduction in force, employees who are the President/Business
      Manager, Senior Assistant Business Manager, Vice-President/Recording
      Secretary and Business Representative of the Union shall continue to work
      as long as there is a job in their own department, in job classifications
      covered by this Agreement, which the Officers or Business Representatives
      are qualified to perform.  In any such case, the employee whose
      work the Officer or Business Representative is qualified to perform shall
      replace an employee of less seniority.  The Union shall inform
      the Company in writing of the names of these Officers and the Business
      Representatives.

            

    

    

    
      	
              14.  

            	
              In
      the case of a regular employee or part-time regular employee who has given
      long and faithful service and who is unable to carry on his/her regular
      work to advantage, the Company will attempt to place such employee on
      work, which he/she is able to perform.  In such cases, the other
      provisions of this Article shall not
apply.

            

    

    

    
      	
              15.  

            	
              Any
      regular employee on a military leave of absence shall, upon reemployment,
      have the period of absence added to his/her service at the time of entry
      into military service.  A returning veteran shall be placed in a
      job classification, in accordance with provisions of appli­cable laws,
      at the rate of pay and with the seniority the employee would have attained
      had he/she not entered military
service.

            

    

    

    
      	
              16.  

            	
              A
      regular employee who may be elected or appointed to an office in the
      International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers, or Local Union 19 covered
      by this Agreement, which by election or appointment requires his/her
      absence from duty with the Company, shall be granted a leave of absence
      without pay for the term of office but not in excess of three years, and
      he/she shall continue to accumulate seniority and service through­out
      such term of office and shall, upon expiration of the leave of absence, be
      reinstated in accordance with his/her seniority provided he/she is
      physically qualified.

              A
      reasonable number of engineers, or other employees with special experience

              1.  

            	
              The basic work week shall
      normally consist of four or five regularly scheduled basic work days
      within the work week.  Normally there shall be two regularly
      scheduled consecutive days off.  Neither of these two days shall
      be considered as part of the basic work week even though an employee is
      scheduled to work on either or both of these days.  In cases of
      a four-day work week, at least two of the three scheduled RDO’s shall be
      consecutive.  The basic work day for a full-time regular
      employee shall 

            

    

    

      
        
          6

        

        
           

          
            

          

        

        
           

        

      

      
        	
                 

              	
                consist
      of eight hours or ten hours of work which shall be consecutive except when
      time out for a meal is scheduled, but presently established exceptions to
      the basic work day of eight hours shall be continued in effect unless
      changed in accordance with the provisions of this
    Agreement.

              

      

       

    

    These
provisions apply to full-time regular employees.

     

    
      	
              2.  

            	
              For
      the purpose of timekeeping, a work week shall begin and end at midnight,
      Sunday night.

            

    

    

    
      	
              3.  

            	
              For
      the purpose of timekeeping, the date of which the basic work day is to be
      allocated shall be the date on which the majority of the basic work day
      hours are worked.  If the hours of a basic work day are evenly
      divided between two calendar days, the basic work day shall be allocated
      to the date on which the basic work day
ends.

            

    

     

    If,
because of the application of this Section, two basic work days are allocated to
the same calendar day, straight time shall be paid for the basic work day hours
of both basic work days.

     

    Overtime
shall be allocated to the calendar day on which it is worked, except that all of
a period of overtime starting at or after 11:00 p.m. or ending at or before 1:00
a.m. shall be considered to have been worked on the calendar day on which the
majority of the overtime is worked, or in case such a period of overtime is
divided equally between two calendar days, on the calendar day on which the
period ends.

    

    
      	
              4.  

            	
              A
      premium of $1.50 per hour shall be paid for the following, but no other
      hours.

            

    

    

    (a) If an
employee's basic work day begins before 5:30 a.m., or ends after 8:00 p.m.,
he/she shall receive this premium for all hours worked during the same
time­keeping day as defined in Section 3 of this Article IV.

    

    (b) If on
an employee's regular days off he/she is required to work as a part of his/her
established work schedule and the work period begins before 5:30 a.m., or ends
after 8:00 p.m., the employee shall receive this premium for all hours worked
during the same time­keeping day as defined in Section 3 of this Article
IV.

    

    (c) If,
under the conditions specified above, the premium is to be paid for hours, which
are compensated for at an overtime rate, the applicable overtime rate shall also
be applied to the $1.50 per hour premium.

    

    
      	
              5.  

            	
              A
      regular employee or part-time regular employee who is scheduled to work on
      Sunday as a basic work day shall be paid a premium of 50% computed upon
      the basis of his/her basic hourly rate of pay, for the hours worked during
      such basic work day; provided that if any other premium (except shift
      premium) or overtime rate shall be applic­able to such hours, only the
      highest individual premium or overtime rate so applicable shall be
      paid.  If any regular employee who is scheduled to work on
      Sunday as a basic work day works on Sunday during hours which call for the
      payment of a shift premium under Section 4 of this Article IV, he/she
      shall be paid both the shift premium for such hours and the Sunday premium
      herein provided.

            

    

    

    For work
on Sunday, which is not a part of a basic work day, no Sunday premium shall be
paid, but the appropriate overtime rate, computed upon the basis of the basic
hourly rate of pay, shall be paid.

    

    
      	
              6.  

            	
              “Shift”
      work is that which regularly operates 24 hours a day, seven days per week
      including Sundays and holidays.  An employee who is assigned to
      such work shall be designated as a "shift"
  employee.

            

    

    

    
      
        7

      

      
        
        

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

     

    "Semi-shift"
work is that which regularly operates in varying degree during the day or night,
including Sun­days
and holidays.  An employee who is assigned to such work shall be
designated as a "semi-shift" employee while so assigned.  The number
of "semi-shift" employees and the number of such employees assigned to Sunday
and holiday work shall be kept to the minimum.

    

    All other
work shall be classified as "non-shift" and an employee assigned to such work
shall be designated as a "non-shift" employee.  A "non-shift" employee
shall not have Sunday scheduled as a basic workday:

    

    An
employee may be changed from one to another of the above categories upon
adequate notice as defined in Section 12 of this Article.

    

    It is
recognized that, because of differences in operat­ing requirements, some job
classifications may cover more than one of the types of work listed
above.

    

    
      	
              7.  

            	
              Where
      it is applicable, and within the limits of reasonable operating
      procedures, days off shall be rotated. Schedules of such rotation shall be
      posted as far in advance as is practicable.  If a schedule is
      unsatisfactory, it will be brought to the attention of the Company and a
      change will be made, if possible, within the limits of reasonable
      operating procedures.

            

    

    

    
      	
              8.  

            	
              Upon
      written request of the Union (physical), the Company will establish a
      rotating or fixed schedule in any specified work group, which has more
      than one schedule of working hours per
day.

            

    

    

    
      	
              9.  

            	
              To
      facilitate the rotation of shifts and the rotation of days off, a change
      in shift may be made with only eight hours off between leaving one shift
      and returning to the next shift.  Such changes shall not result
      in overtime pay if they are made in accordance with an established
      schedule.

            

    

    

    
      	
              10.  

            	
              With
      the consent of their immediate supervisor, employees shall have the
      privilege of exchanging shifts within the same work week, by individual
      arrangement, provided the change can be accomplished without
      addi­tional cost to the
Company.

            

    

    

    
      	
              11.  

            	
              Presently
      established daily working hours of the basic work week will be continued
      in effect unless changed in accordance with the provisions of this
      Article.

            

    

    

    
      	
              12.  

            	
              (a)
      In case of a change in the basic work days of an employee's basic work
      week, notice of at least 48 hours will be given prior to the
      change.  If not given this notice, the employee will be paid at
      the overtime rate on the first day of the new
  schedule.

            

    

    

    
      	
               
      

            	
              (b)
      In case of a change in the daily working hours of the basic work day,
      notice of at least 48 hours will be given prior to the
      change.  If not given this notice, the employee will be paid at
      the overtime rate on the first basic work day of the new schedule for
      those hours worked outside of his/her  previously scheduled
      hours. (NOTE: This provision will also apply if a change in working hours
      is scheduled for less than three days within a basic work week without
      notice to the employee prior to the start of that basic work
      week.)

            

    

    

    (c) 48
hours' notice will be considered to have been given if the employee is notified
of the proposed change before being released from duty on the second day
preceding the change.

     

    
      
        8

      

      
        
        

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

    

    (d) The
provisions of this Section will not apply when a shift change is made for
attendance at training schools.

    

    
      	
              13.  

            	
              Overtime
      shall be paid at the rate of time and one-half, only after forty (40) paid
      hours of the basic work week.  Exceptions to this
      are:

            

    

    

    (a) On
holidays, time shall be paid for in accor­dance with the provisions of
Section 24 of this Article.

    

    (b) If
the employee works overtime which has been allocated to the calendar day of
his/her first regular day off, double time shall be paid for all overtime hours
which are allocated to the calendar day of the employee's second regular day off
in a week (as defined in Section 2 of Article IV).

    

    An
employee working a four (4) day basic schedule will be eligible for double time
if the employee works overtime allocated to the third regular day
off.  The eligibility for double time exists if the employee has
worked overtime allocated to both his/her first and second regular day
off.

    

    (c)  Employee
hours reported on disability and/or workers compensation are excluded from the
40 paid hours of the basic work week.

    

    (d)
Employees called back for work.  (See Article IV, Section
18).

    

    Overtime
shall be computed to the nearest one-half hour.

    

    
      	
              14.  

            	
              An
      employee shall not be required to take time off during basic work days in
      place of overtime worked or to be worked.  However, this shall
      not prevent changes in scheduled working hours or work days in accordance
      with the provisions of Section 12 of this
  Article.

            

    

    

    
      	
              15.  

            	
              An
      employee who has worked (a) more than 16 hours continuously,
      or

            

    

    

    (b) at
least six hours of overtime in the 12 hour period immediately preceding his/her
basic workday will, upon release, be entitled to an eight-hour rest period
before returning to work.  If a rest period, under the provisions of
this section, extends into a basic workday, the employee will lose no time
thereby.

    

    
      	
              16.  

            	
              An
      employee ordered to remain at a specified location, awaiting a call for
      emergency work outside scheduled working hours, shall be paid at the
      applicable rate until released.

            

    

    

    
      	
              17.  

            	
              As
      far as practicable, overtime shall be distributed equally among employees
      in each work group or job classification, taking into account the
      qualifications required and the availability of the employees. Lists of
      overtime accumulated for the calendar year will be posted monthly on
      bulletin boards.  These lists shall show the equivalent number
      of straight time hours paid for.

            

    

    

    
      	
              18.  

            	
              An
      employee called back, (with or without pre­vious notice) for work at
      any time outside of his/her regular work schedule shall be paid a minimum
      of four hours straight time pay.  If pay for the time worked at
      the applicable overtime rate exceeds two hours straight time pay, the
      employee should be paid at the applicable overtime rate for the hours
      worked and in addition will be paid a call-back allowance of two hours at
      straight time.  In no event shall overtime pay for the call-out plus
      the call-back allowance exceed the equivalent of eight hours at the
      applicable overtime rate.

            

    

    

    
      
        9

      

      
        
        

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

     

    If an
employee is called back more than once between two consecutive scheduled work
periods, his/her pay and call-back allowance for such intermittent work shall
not be more than what would have been received had the employee worked
continuously from the starting time of the first call-back until the quitting
time of the last call­back.

    

    The time
reporting on the call-back for an employee who operates a company-owned vehicle
shall begin when the employee leaves his/her residence and shall end when he/she
returns home.

    

    An
employee shall not be considered to be called back when working overtime which,
without interruption except time out for a meal, immediately precedes or follows
a regular work period.

    

    This
section shall not apply to overtime work which is a part of established work
schedules.

    

    
      	
              19.  

            	
              When
      an employee reports for work at his/her regular daily starting time in
      accordance with his/her then existing regular work schedule for basic work
      days, and in condition to perform his/her work, the employee will be
      provided with work in his/her job classification, or other work, during
      the hours of his/her work schedule for that day.  Similarly,
      when an employee reports for scheduled overtime work on other than his/her
      basic work days and in condition to perform his/her work and if such work
      is not available, the employee will be paid a minimum of four hours at
      straight time.  All this shall not serve to modify the rights
      recognized to be in the Company as provided in Section 1 of Article
      II.

            

    

    

    
      	
              20.  

            	
              Employees
      required to report for work at a Company headquarters shall travel from
      Company head­quarters to their work locations on Company
      time.  If such employees are required to provide their own
      transportation from a Company headquarters to their work location, they
      will be reimbursed for the cost of such
  transportation.

            

    

     

    Employees
required to report directly to a work location within their working area shall
travel to such work location on their own time and at their own
expense.

    

    
      	
              21.  

            	
              During
      the regularly scheduled working day there shall be a regularly scheduled
      meal period not exceeding one hour, except for employees whose work
      requires them to be on duty eight hours consecutively, in which case they
      shall eat at their work locations.

            

    

    

    
      	
              22.  

            	
              When,
      on a basic work day, an employee is required by the Company to delay
      his/her regularly scheduled meal period for more than two hours from the
      end of the meal period, the employee shall be
      paid a premium equal to one-half his/her straight time rate from the end
      of his/her regularly scheduled meal period until permitted to
      eat.

            

    

    

    
      	
              23.  

            	
              (a)
      An employee who is required to work over­time shall be eligible for a
      meal money allowance:

            

    

    1. After
working three hours immediately preceding or three hours immediately following a
basic work day when
the basic work schedule is an eight hour day and two hours immediately preceding
or two hours
immediately following a basic work day when the basic work schedule is a ten
hour day.  (Overtime shallbe considered to be immediately preceding or
following a basic work day even though the employee has time out for a meal);
or

     

    2. 
After
working ten hours on a regular day off or on a holiday when the employee was
given at least eight
hours' advance notice that he/she was to work overtime on that day. The employee
will not be eligible if the time worked is eight hours but less than ten hours.
An employee working less than eight hours of such overtime shall be covered by
Paragraph (a) 3 of this Section; or

     

    
      
        10

      

      
        
        

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

    

    3. 
If
the overtime does not come under the provisions of Paragraph (1) or (2) above,
but the time worked is two continuous hours or more and extends through, or is
recorded as ending at 12:30 a.m., 6:30 a.m., 12:30 p.m., or 6:30
p.m.

       

    

    (b) If
the overtime continues, an employee shall be eligible for another meal money
allowance at the end of each subsequent five hours of overtime worked after the
employee is eligible for his first meal money allowance.

    

    (c) If an
employee is eligible for a meal money allowance and can be released to eat,
he/she shall be given an allowance of $8.00 and shall eat on Company
time.  Such meal shall be paid for by the employee.  The
meal period will be of no more than 45 minutes in duration.  If unable to be
released from the job, the Company will give the employee a meal money allowance
of $8.00. When requested, food will be brought to the job, shall be paid for by
the employee and shall be eaten on Company time.

    

    (d) The
provisions of this Section shall not apply when the Company and the Union agree
to overtime in connection with basic work days in place of the em­ployees
working overtime on regular days off.

    

    
      	
              24.  

            	
              The
      following days shall be recognized as holidays:  New Year's Day,
      Good Friday, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day,
      the day after Thanksgiving, Christmas Eve and Christmas
    Day.

            

    

    

    The
Christmas Eve holiday will be celebrated on December 23rd in the calendar years
when Christmas Day falls on either a Saturday or a Sunday and December 22nd when
Christmas Day falls on a Monday.

    

    Whenever
one of these holidays falls on Sunday, it shall be observed on the following
Monday.  When one of these holidays falls on a Saturday, it shall be
observed as follows:

    

    (a) On the
preceding day, Friday, for employees for whom the Saturday upon which the
holiday occurs is a regular day off; and

    

    (b) On
the Saturday on which the holiday occurs for employees for whom such Saturday is
a basic workday.

    

    In
addition, employees may schedule three “floating” holidays during each calendar
year and a fourth floating holiday during each U.S. Presidential Election
year.

    

    The
provisions of this Section shall apply on the day observed by each employee
rather than on the actual holiday, and shall not affect the Company's right to
reschedule an employee's basic work week.

    

    When a
holiday is observed on an employee's basic workday, he/she may be given the day
off and shall be paid at his/her basic hourly rate of pay.

    

    However,
when an employee works on a holiday which is observed on one of his/her basic
work days, the employee shall be paid at his/her basic hourly rate of pay for
the day and in addition, shall be paid on the following basis for any hours,
which in accordance with the provisions of Section 3 of this Article, are
allocated to the holiday:

    

    (i) Time

              3.  

            	
              In
      case a holiday is observed on any day during a full week of an employee's
      regular vacation, an additional day off with pay shall be allowed for each
      such holiday.  The provisions of Section 24 of Article IV shall
      apply to all other holidays observed while an employee is on
      vacation.

              6.  

            	
              Provided
      the conditions of work are such that the employee's services can be
      spared, and with the under­standing that they are subject to change to
      meet operating conditions and work requirements, the regular and extra
      vacation shall be selected, in each work group, in accordance with service
      except that:

            

    

    

    (a) no extra
vacation may be scheduled which would interfere with any employee's choice of

    (b) the
selection of a full week of vacation will take precedence over less than a full
week.

employee's choice of regular or extra vacation.  Advance notice of
vacation schedules will be posted on appropriate bulletin boards.

    

    
      	
              7.  

            	
              For
      vacation purposes, a calendar week shall normally begin and end at
      midnight, Sunday night.

            

    

    

    
      	
              8.  

            	
              An
      employee's eligibility for earned vacation shall not be affected by a
      prolonged absence while they are on Short Term
      Disability.  However, employees will not earn vacation while on
      Long Term Disability.

              9.

            	
              Full
      day vacations of either eight (8) or ten (10) hours (depending on the work
      schedule), shall be counted as vacation time unless the employee has less
      than eight (8) or ten (10) hours remaining on the schedule.  If
      that is the case, then all the remaining hours must be used in a one day
      period.

            

    

    

    
      	
              10.

            	
              Half
      day vacations will be four (4) hours for employees on an eight (8) hour
      regular schedule and five (5) hours for employees on a ten (10) hour
      regular schedule.  Part-time employees may schedule vacation
      equal to 50% of their scheduled
shift.

                11.

              	
                Exceptions
      to Article VI, Section 9 and Section 10 are as follows: For purposes of
      approved Family Medical Leave Absences, vacation will be used in
      increments as small as a half hour.

              

      

       

    

    12.  
Regular employees and part-time regular employees who are retiring will be
granted the full vacation for which
they have earned before they are added
to the Pension Plan payroll.  However, retiring employees may elect to
receive a vacation allowance for unused earned vacation days for which
they were eligible during the calendar year of retirement.

    

    Regular
employees and part-time regular employees eligible for a vacation with pay and
whose employment is terminated before using the entire vacation they have
earned during the
current calendar year shall receive a vacation allowance equal to their basic
hourly rate for the number of days for which they are eligible in excess of the
number of days of vacation they have already taken during the current calendar
year.  Employees who terminate employment for any reason and have used
more vacation hours than earned, will be required to repay the company for the
difference at their then current rate of pay.  Employees
who terminate or are terminated from the company during their probationary
period are not eligible for payment.

    

    In the
event of termination by death, such vacation allowance shall be paid to the
beneficiary of the deceased employee's Gift Group Life Insurance
Policy.

    

    13.  Any
employee will be allowed to defer up to forty (40) hours unused earned vacation
in either eight (8) or ten
(10) hour increments from one calendar year to the next without restrictions,
except that deferred vacation shall not interfere with an employees choice of
regular or extra vacation.  Employees on Short Term Disability or
Workers Compensation at the end of the year will not be allowed to defer
vacation.

    

    14.  
Reasonable time off as required shall be granted to a regular employee and
part-time regular employee in case of
the death of the employee's father, mother, sister, brother, wife, husband,
child, grandmother, grandfather, brother-in-law, sister-­in-law,
father-in-law, mother-in-law, grandchild, son-in-law, or
daughter-in-law.  Normally not more than three days of such time off
between the death and burial will be granted without loss of basic hourly rate
of pay.

    

    
      	
              15.

            	
              A
      regular employee and part-time regular employee will be paid at his/her
      basic hourly rate of pay while performing jury service, during his/her
      basic work week but such pay shall not be allowed more than once in two
      consecutive calendar years.  All fees received for jury service
      will be retained by
the employee.

            

    

    

    While on
jury service, an employee shall be assigned to work on the day shift from Monday
to Friday, inclusive, and shall be at work during such working hours when not on
jury duty.

    

    16.  A
regular employee or part-time regular employee performing court service, other
than jury, under summons
or subpoena will, upon notice to the Company, be paid at his/her basic hourly
rate of pay for only the first day of such absence which occurs in his/her basic
work week and will retain all court fees.  Employees who respond to
court service as a result of their outside employment will not be
paid.

    

    17.  
If a regular employee or part-time regular employee, upon notice to the Company,
is absent during his/her
basic work week to serve as Judge or Clerk in a public election, under the
jurisdiction of election officials, the employee will be paid the difference
between his/her basic hourly rate of pay for that day and election pay, provided
the former is the larger, and will retain all fees received.

     

    
      
        15

      

      
        
        

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

     

    18.  A
regular employee and part-time regular employee may, for justifiable reasons, be
granted a leave of absence
without pay after reasonable notice to the Company, provided the conditions of
work are such that the employee's services can be spared.  During
these leaves of absence seniority shall accumulate. If an employee overstays
such leave, or accepts employ­ment elsewhere during such leave without
consent of the Company, he/she shall be considered to have
resigned.

    

    19. 
 Employees who are elected by their Union to serve as delegates to Union
conventions or similar Union meetings
shall, after reasonable notices to the Company, be granted leaves of absence
without pay for sufficient time for this purpose.

              The
      wage rates for the period of this Agreement shall, subject to the
      provisions of Article IX, be those set forth in Exhibit A. (physical and

              In
      all cases in which the scheduled maximum provided for in a given job
      classification in the attached Exhibit A is lower than the present rate of
      pay of an individual in that job classification, there shall be no
      reduction in the pay of the individual because of the adoption of the pay

              When
      qualified employees are temporarily assigned to and work in a job
      classification which is higher than their regular job classification, they
      shall be paid for that day at the minimum rate for the higher job
      classification, or at a rate based upon their present rate plus $.96 per
      day, whichever is greater.  However, no adjustment will be made
      that would result in a rate higher than the schedule maximum of the job
      classification to which they are
assigned.

            

    

    

    When
qualified employees are temporarily assigned to and work in a management job
classification, they shall be paid for that day at a rate based upon their
present rate plus $2.00 per day.

    

    Assignments
of four hours or more in an eight hour day and five hours or more in a ten hour
day shall be considered a full day under this Section.  No
payment will be made for such temporary assignments if they amount to less than
four hours in an eight hour day or five hours in a ten hour day.

    

     The
four or five hour requirement for upgrade eligibility will not apply to
employees "called out" to perform
work in a higher job classification.

    

    When an
employee is training or certifying for promotion and is assigned productive work
in the classification, the provisions of Article VII, Section 3 will
apply.  Daily upgrading will be handled within the
department.

              An
      employee returning from a military leave of absence who is re-employed in
      his/her former job classifi­cation, or a job classification which is
      not higher than his/her former job classification, shall receive the rate
      of pay provided for in the then existing time steps of the job
      classification, taking into account the time credit which had accrued when
      he/she left for military service plus the period of his/her absence
      because of military service.

              If
      a regular employee or part-time regular employee becomes disabled and is
      unable to perform his/her regular work to advantage, the Company will
      attempt to place the employee on work within the employee's
      capabilities.  In such cases, if the employee is placed in a job
      classification with a lower maximum hourly

      the following conditions will
apply:

              

      

    

     

    (a) The
hourly rate of the employee who is 55 or more years of age at the time of the
transfer to the lower job classification will be frozen.  The employee
will not receive general wage increases until the maximum rate of the job the
employee is performing is equal to the employee's frozen hourly rate of
pay.

           

    (b) The
hourly rate of pay of an employee who is less than 55 years of age will be
reduced by $1.50 per hour immediately after the date of the transfer to the
lower job classification.  On the first anniversary date following the
transfer and on every succeeding anniversary date the employee’s hourly rate
will be reduced by $1.50 per hour.  This reduction will continue until

      specific work group or work groups and in general the jurisdiction of one
      Steward shall not overlap that of any other Steward.  The Union
      shall furnish the Company with a list of the names of the Stewards and the
      work groups they represent.

            

    

    

    The

              It
      shall be one of the duties of the Stewards and Business Representatives to
      attempt to adjust disputes or
      differ­ences referred to them by any of the employees they have been
      designated to represent.

            

    

    

    
      	
              5.  

            	
              Should
      any dispute or difference arise between the Company and the Union or its
      members as to the interpretation or application of any of the provisions
      of this Agreement or with respect to job working conditions, the term
      working conditions being limited to those elements concerned with the
      hours when an employee is at work and the acts required of the employee
      during such hours, the dispute or difference shall be settled through the
      grievance procedure, provided that no grievance will be considered which
      is more than 15 calendar days old.  A dispute as to whether a
      particular disagreement is a proper subject for the grievance procedure
      shall itself be treated as a
grievance.

            

    

    

    The steps
in the grievance procedure are:

    

    Step 1 --
The dispute or difference shall be presented orally by the employee concerned
and discussed with his/her immediate supervisor.  The Steward may
accompany the employee, if the employee so requests.

     

    Step 2
--  If the dispute or difference is not adjusted in Step 1, it shall
be reduced to writing and dis­cussed
by the Steward with the Manager of the Department (Region), or to the Department
Head (G.O.), as the case may be.  The Steward may be accompanied by
the Business Representative having jurisdiction.  The number of
Company representatives may equal, but shall not exceed, the number of Union
representatives present at the Step 2 discussion.  The appropriate
Company representative specified above shall give his/her written answer within
15 calendar days after the dispute or difference is presented.

    

    Step 3 --
If the dispute or difference is not adjusted in Step 2, it will be discussed by
the President/Business Manager/Financial Secretary of the Union and the
appropriate Company official.  The President of the Union shall be
accompanied by the Steward involved and the appropriate Business Representative
for the Department in which the employee works.  The appropriate
Company official­ may be accompanied by additional Company representatives
equal to the number of Union representatives accompanying the President of the
Union as set forth above.  The appropriate Company official shall give
his/her written answer within 15 calendar days after the dispute or difference
is presented in Step 3.

    

    Step 4
--  If the dispute or difference is not adjusted in Step 3, it shall
be referred by the President of the Union to the General Manager Labor Relations
and Facility Services.  The dispute or difference shall then be
discussed within 30 calendar days by a committee composed as
follows:

    

    The
Representatives of the Union

    President/Business
Manager

    Senior
Assistant Business Manager

    Appropriate
Steward and Business Representatives

     

    The
Representatives of the Company

    The
General Manager in charge of Labor Relations.  The Vice President in
charge of the area affected. In the absence of the above specified Company
representative, any principal officer may serve on this
committee.  Additional Company representatives, equal in number to the
Union representatives set forth immediately above.

    

    The
General Manager of Labor Relations shall give written answer within 15 calendar
days after the 4th Step discussion.

     

    
      
        18

      

      
        
        

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

     

    Step 5 --
If the dispute or difference is not satisfactorily settled in Step 4, it may be
referred, at the written request of either party, to an impartial arbitrator who
shall be selected by mutual consent of the Company and the Union as soon as
practicable after receipt of the request for arbitration.  If the
parties do not agree upon the selection of an arbitrator within 15 calendar days
after receipt of the request for arbitration, the Federal Mediation and
Conciliation Service shall be requested to furnish a list of five
arbitrators.  The party request­ing arbitration shall first strike
the names of two persons from the list, and the other party shall then strike
two names.  The remaining name shall be the Arbitrator.  The
Company and the Union will have the right to reject one panel for each grievance
scheduled for Arbitration. The award of the Arbitrator shall be final and
binding upon both parties and upon the employees or employee
involved.  The fees and expenses of the Arbitrator, and any other
expenses agreed to by the parties prior to the arbitration, shall be shared
equally by the Company and the Union.  The Arbitrator shall have power
and authority to arbitrate only those matters expressly made subject to
arbitration by the terms of this Agreement, and shall rule only on the issues
submitted to him in writing for arbitration.  The Arbitrator shall
have power only to interpret this Agreement and shall not have power to alter or
amend it.

      Steward's absence or inability to serve, the President of the Union may
      appoint any other Steward or Business Representative of the Union as an
      alternate.  The Company shall be notified of such
      appointments.

            

    

    

    Where
provision is made in this Article for a Business Representative to represent the
Union at Steps 2, 3, or 4 in the grievance procedure, in the event of the

Union as an alternate.  The Company shall be notified of such
appointments.

     

    Where

the Union at Steps 3 or 4 in the grievance procedure, in the event of the
President's absence or inability to serve, the Senior Assistant Business Manager

              At
      each Step above Step 1 in the grievance pro­cedure the answer given by
      the Company shall be in writing.  In case the Union is not
      satisfied with the Company's reply, it shall present a written request for
      further consideration to the Company's representative specified at the
      next higher step.  The time allowed at each step will begin with
      the date of receipt of this request.  If the Union does not
      carry the grievance to the next higher step within 15 calendar days after
      the Company has rendered its decision at any step, the grievance shall be
      considered settled and not subject to further
  discussion.

              A
      grievance relating to disciplinary suspension or demotion, or discharge
      for cause, shall be originated at Step 3 in the grievance procedure within
      five calendar days after the disciplinary action is taken.  If
      the grievance is upheld, the employee's record shall be cleared of any
      disciplinary action and the employee shall be reimbursed for any wages
      lost as a result of the disciplinary action originally
    taken.

      shall be given to the Union.

              Except
      as otherwise specified in this exhibit, promotions will be made on the
      basis of ability and length of service.  The judging of ability
      will include consideration of such factors as appropriate experience,

      pay for a new job classification not requiring certification effective
      their first day on the new job or the 16th
      working day after the promotion is accepted, whichever occurs
      first.  Employees accepting positions requiring certification
      will be paid the rate of pay of the new job on the 16th
      working day after the promotion is accepted until released.  In
      no case will the employee be given company time to visit the job
      location.  Final acceptance must be made within 24 hours of the
      following working day.

              Jobs
      in levels 6 through 8 shall be known as “bid” jobs.  These jobs
      can best be filled by persons with a variety of related experience with
      the Company.

            

    

    
      	
              B.  

            	
              In
      making promotions to “bid” jobs, the vacancy will be posted for a period
      of ten (10) working days.  Confirmation will be sent to each
      employee, who applies within the ten day period that their application was
      received.  Any interested employee in a lower level may make
      written application to the local human resource department setting forth
      his/her qualifications.

            

    

    
      	
              C.

      will be given to all bidding employees.  Selections will be made
      in accordance with Section 1 of Exhibit B and a point system to be
      administered on the following
basis:

            

    

    

    
      	
              (1)  

            	
              One
      point to be awarded for each year of service.  (6 months or more
      of service before posted date equals one full year credit, less than 6
      months receives no credit.)

            

    

    
      	
              (2)  

            	
              The
      Clerical level of the bidding employee will equate to an equivalent number
      of points.  (i.e., Level 4 = 4 points, Level 5 = 5
      points)

            

    

    
      	
              (3)  

            	
              The
      candidate chosen by the selection committee will be awarded points based
      on the following:  Level 8 bid jobs – 8 points; level 7 bid jobs
      – 7 points; Level 6 bid jobs – 5 points; Level 5 bid job – 5
      points.  The employee totaling the greatest number of points
      will be selected unless the Company determines that another bidding
      employee is more qualified.

            

    

    
      	
              D.  

            	
              If
      no qualified employee is available as a result of the bidding procedure,
      then the Company may select any employee or hire someone to fill such
      job.

            

    

    
      	
              E.  

            	
              Employees
      who do not make application within the period of posting shall have no
      grievance.

            

    

    
      	
              F.

              Each

      (a)

            	
              Future

              The
      Company will develop training programs for promotion to all
      classifications.  Additionally, the Company will suggest
      independent courses, which the employees may pursue to aid in their
      promotional development.  Such courses, if approved, would
      qualify for in-company tuition refund
program.

      being considered for promotion will be given a training and qualifying
      period as provided under Article III, Section 11.  Extensions

      granted when they have successfully passed the test and are
      certified.  Employees who fail to certify or successfully
      complete the probationary period will be returned to their former
      classification.

    MEMORANDUM
OF UNDERSTANDING

    Between
Union Local 19 (IBEW)

    and
Nicor Gas

    (Dated
February 9, 1971)

    

    

    This
Memorandum sets forth the understanding reached between the parties during the
course of the 1971 contract negotiations regarding the implementation of the
overtime equalization provisions stated in Article IV, Section 17 (Physical) and
Section 16 (Clerical).

     

    The
parties agreed and will comply with the following:

    

    
      	
               
      

            	
              1.

            	
              When
      employees are improperly bypassed in the assignment of
      overtime:

            

    

    

    
      	
               
      

            	
              a.

            	
              The
      Company will not be obligated to pay for work not
    performed.

            

    

    

    
      	
               
      

            	
              b.

            	
              The
      bypassed employee will be offered an opportunity to work an equivalent
      number of overtime hours within 30 calendar
  days.

            

    

    

    
      	
               
      

            	
              c.

            	
              The
      number of employees eligible for consider­ation under item 1(b) is
      limited to the number that worked the original
  assignment.

            

    

    

    
      	
               
      

            	
              2.

            	
              The

      procedures.

            

    

    

    
      	
               
      

            	
              3.

    REVISED
MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING

    Between
System Local 19 and

    Nicor
Gas

    (Dated
February 1, 1974)

    (Revised
February 1, 1985, March 1, 2000 and March 1, 2004)

    

    

    This
Memorandum sets forth the understanding reached between the parties during the
course of the contract negotiations regarding disabled employees who are unable
to perform the required functions of their job classifications.

    

    
      	
              1.

            	
              The
      Company will continue to attempt to place such employees on work that they
      can satisfac­torily perform.

            

    

    

    
      	
              2.

            	
              Such
      disabled employees may be utilized on work that has been traditionally
      available provided they are capable of performing the work.  To
      this end, it is essential that Union Local 19 representatives cooperate
      with the Company to facilitate such
assignments.

            

    

    

    
      	
              3.

            	
              If
      the disabled employee is placed in a lower job classification, the
      provisions of Article VII, Sec­tion 5 of the Collective Bargaining
      Agreements will be applied.

            

    

    

    
      	
              4.

            	
              An
      employee being administered under the pro­vision of Article VII,
      Section 5 may transfer or promote to other job classifications in
      accordance with the provisions of the Collective Bargaining
      Agreement.  Such transfer or promotion will be contingent upon
      medical proof satisfactory to the Company that the disabled employee can
      perform all of the required duties of the new job
      classification.

            

    

     

    In the
determination of medical proof, the opinion of the employee's doctor may differ
from the findings of the Company physician. In that event, the Company will
appoint a third physician whose decision will be final.

     

    Any
disabled employee who transfers from the physical bargaining unit to the
clerical bargaining unit will not be eligible under any circumstances to return
to the physical bargaining unit.

    

    
      	
              5.

            	
              An
      employee placed in a lower job classification and administered under the
      provision of Article VII, Section 5 will receive pension credit for all
      time spent in the higher job classification based on the pension band in
      effect at the time of retirement.

            

    

    

    
      	
              6.

            	
              In
      the event the Company determines that no work is available, the following
      program will be available:

            

    

    

    
      	
                      
      a.  

            	
              Extended
      Disability Income Plan

            

    

     

    Disabled
employees age 45 or more with at least 23 years of service will be eligible for
extended disability payments equal to 50% of their "final pay" (average of
highest consecutive 5 years).

     

    These
payments would continue until the earlier of:

    

    (i)    Age
55 or,

      (ii)   the
employee receives a Social Security Disability Award.

     

    
      	
              7.

            	
              The
      disability programs outlined in Section 6 is established for employees
      who:

            

    

    

    
      
        
          64

        

        
           

          
            

          

        

        
           

        

      

    

    

    
      	
               
      

            	
                     a.  
      

            	
              are
      unable to work efficiently because of a
  disability,

            

    

    

    
      	
               
      

            	
                     b.  
      

            	
              cannot
      qualify for the disability provisions of the Retirement
    Plan.

            

    

    

    Illustrative
conditions when, with medical evidence, these programs could be applied
are:

    

    The
employee is no longer physically or mentally capable of performing his/her work
in an efficient and satisfactory manner;

    

    Though
still capable of performing his/her work satisfactorily, the employee is
prevented by chronic illness or physical disability (less than total) from
working regularly to the extent that efficiency of operation is interfered
with;

    

    An
employee's condition is such that although able to perform the duties of his/her
job effici­ently and satisfactorily, the employee would there­by be
jeopardizing his/her health or that of fellow employees or the
public.

    PROCEDURES
FOR TESTING CANDIDATES FOR JOBS REQUIRING CERTIFICATION

    (Dated
March 31, 1975)

    (Revised
February 1, 1985, July 1, 1997, March 1, 2000, March 1, 2004 and March 1,
2009)

    

    On or
about January 1 and July 1 of each year, management will determine, based on
workload, whether any vacancies will exist in any classification.  If
a vacancy exists, the following procedures will apply:

    

    
      	
              1.  

            	
              Contacts
      for job vacancies in all classifications will be made by the Human
      Resource Department.

            

    

    

    
      	
              2.  

            	
              Entry
      level employees (Locators, Helpers, Meter Readers) who accept a given
      vacancy will have the first five (5) working days in the department where
      the vacancy exists to elect to continue with the training and
      certification process.  Should the candidate decide during this
      initial time period to return to his/her original job classification, the
      employee will be ineligible to fill the same vacancy for one
      year.

            

    

    

    
      	
              3.  

            	
              Depending
      on a candidate’s existing position and whether they are entering the
      Distribution Technician, Distribution Mechanic, Operations Mechanic,
      Senior Operations Mechanic or Distribution Plastic Operator training and
      certification, an evaluation of the candidate’s skills will be assessed.
      Candidates training will be administered based on their individual skill
      needs.

            

    

    

    
      	
              4.  

            	
              Candidates
      will be given an appropriate training period.  Training will
      consist of a combination of classroom training, field training and
      voluntary home assignments based on the individual’s
      needs.  Time spent in welding school will not be included in
      this training period.  The training periods for classifications
      requiring certification are:

COVERING ITEMS OF UNDERSTANDING

    RE:
TWO PERSONS ON STEEL AND PROMOTIONAL SEQUENCE

     (Dated
February 15, 1994 and

     revised
March 1, 2000 and March 1, 2009)

    

    

    Promotions
will be based on ability, qualifications and service.  Qualifications
will be determined by testing, training and job experience.

    

    Meter
Readers and Helpers hired after 2007 will be required to pass a test before
being eligible to promote to the mechanic level job classification or
equivalent.

    

    Normally,
the installation of plastic services under 2” will be a proper two person
assignment (Laborer and Operator). Normally, the installation of 2” plastic
services will be a proper two person assignment (Crew Leader and
Operator).

    

    Normally,
new and replacement of services 2” and over other than 2” plastic services, and all new and
replacement main installations will require more than two persons with the
exception of the installation of 2” or smaller plastic main which will be a
proper two person assignment (Crew Leader and Operator).  Meter sets,
meter move-outs or cross ties, and service valves on risers 1-1/4” or less would
be a proper assignment for one employee (Mechanic or Technician).

    

    Repair of
P.A.C. or plastic services under 2” during daylight hours will be a proper
assignment for one employee.  Technician rate will be paid when 2 or
more repairs are made during daylight hours.  Repair of services less
than 2” after dark will be a proper assignment for one person at the Technician
rate.  Employees can continue to call for a second person when needed,
day or night, in lieu of upgrade.

     

    Call out
for the repair of services less than 2” will be a proper assignment for two
persons.  The Lead Person will be paid the Crew Leader rate, and the
second person will be at the Mechanic rate or above.  During daylight
savings time, call-out for the replacement of services less than 2” will be a
proper two person assignment when plastic is the replacement
material.  The Lead Person will be paid the Crew Leader rate, and the
second person will be at the Mechanic rate or above.  If daylight
savings time no longer exists, it will revert to the same period of time
described in months which currently is March through October.

    

    All other
Construction and Maintenance work could be assigned to a two person
crew.  However, additional personnel will be assigned to a particular
job depending on its characteristics.  When blowing gas is a factor in
repairs on underground mains, more than two persons will be utilized, if
necessary, to ensure the protection of the employee and/or the
public.  It is recognized that other work assignments may also require
more than two persons.

    

    However,
upgrade to Crew Leader will be based on job assignment not size of the
crew.  There will be no upgrade to Crew Leader for the installation of
new or replaced services under 2” or when there is sidewalk and alley openings
(unless the alley opening requires concrete and spoil removal which necessitates
a third person) or when traffic control is required.

    MEMORANDUM
OF AGREEMENT

    RE:  PER
DIEM ALLOWANCE

    

    

    The
following agreement has been reached, effective March 1, 1997, between the
Company and Union Local 19, regarding the per diem allowance provisions and
other ground rules that affect employees required to be away from home overnight
or longer.

     

    
      
        	
                1. 
      

              	
                Per
      diem allowance will be granted as follows:

              	
                Amount
      of Allowance

              
	 
      	 
      	 
      	 
      
	 
      	
                a.

              	
                Day
      of departure from regular reporting center.

              	
                $25

              
	 
      	 
      	 
      	 
      
	 
      	
                b.

              	
                Day
      of return to regular reporting center which can be basic work day or an
      RDO.

              	
                $25

              
	 
      	 
      	 
      	 
      
	 
      	
                c.

              	
                All
      other days while away from home.

              	
                $35

              
	 
      	 
      	 
      	 
      
	 
      	
                d.

              	
                On
      the day of departure or return, the allowance will be $35 if the departure
      or return is two or more hours before or after the employee’s scheduled
      regular hours.  The application of these per diem ground rules
      will supersede any meal allowance provisions contained in Article IV,
      Section 23 (a) of the Collective Bargaining Agreement.  However,
      in cases involving extended overtime, the meal allowance provisions of
      Article VI, Section 23 (b) will become effective after working seven hours
      immediately following the employee’s scheduled regular
    hours.

              

      

    

     

    Should an
employee who has worked overtime be ineligible for a meal allowance because of
the previous provisions, the time reporting form should indicate “meal
furnished” to eliminate duplication of payment by Payroll
Accounting.

     

    
      	
              2.  

            	
              Employees
      may be scheduled for overtime work while assigned out of town (example:
      scheduled ten-hour days for five or six workdays).  In cases
      involving inclement weather, employees will be paid for the hours in their
      basic workday, and any overtime hours scheduled to precede the regular
      work day.  Pay for overtime following the regular workday will
      be based on hours actually worked.

            

    

     

    
      	
              3.  

            	
              The
      per diem allowance will cover all incidental expenses, including telephone
      calls.  Where practicable, the WATS line will be made
      available.

            

    

     

    
      
        
          70

      employee qualifies to receive this service, it will be the responsibility
      of the employee to keep track of the uniforms. Lost items will be replaced
      at employee expense. Replacements due to normal wear and tear will be

      Will not
be subject to demotions and will not be forced to become A.S.E. certified,
except in the case of a Technician promoting to Crew Leader. All others will,
however, be encouraged to attempt to become A.S.E. certified.

      

      Helpers:  Will qualify
for uniform service upon contract ratification. They have the opportunity to
qualify for the tool allowance if they become A.S.E. certified in at least 2
categories form the list of five mandatory categories. They must pass Nicor
Mechanic certification to promote to Mechanic.

      

      Mechanics:  Qualify
for both the tool allowance and uniform service at ratification. Must pass Nicor
certification to promote to Technician.

      

      Technicians:  Qualify
for both the tool allowance and uniform service at ratification. Must pass Nicor
certification to promote to Crew Leader, and must pass the 5 mandatory A.S.E.
tests listed above to promote to Crew Leader. Upgrade to Crew Leader would be
given to the Technician with the most seniority who has A.S.E. certified in the
5 mandatory A.S.E. tests (after all technicians have been given an opportunity
to certify). If no technician is A.S.E. certified, upgrade would go to the
senior Technician.

      

      Crew
Leaders:  Qualify for both the tool allowance and uniform
service at ratification. Crew Leaders promoted after ratification must attempt
to recertify; however, there will be no penalty or demotion if they fail to
recertify. They must pass the 5 mandatory A.S.E. tests to become Crew
Leader.

      Promotions/Hires

              

      

      

      Employees
hired after ratification:  Failure to recertify could result in
demotion and loss of tool allowance and uniform service.

      

      Helpers:  Helpers
who transfer to the Fleet Management Department as a Helper within one year from
the date of ratification, will be allowed 12 months from the date

      of their
transfer to obtain two A.S.E. certifications. Employees who are unable to obtain
the two A.S.E. certifications will be returned to their prior job
classification.

       

      After one
year from the date of ratification, Helpers will be required to possess two
A.S.E. certifications before being considered for a transfer to a Helper
position in the Fleet Management Department.

      

      Helpers
who pass A.S.E. certification in 2 tests from the mandatory list of 5 will be
eligible to receive the $200 tool allowance and the uniform service. Helpers
must pass Nicor certification and A.S.E. certification in at least 4 of 8 tests
(3 out of the mandatory list) to promote to the Mechanic level.

      

      Mechanics:  Tool
allowance and uniform service will only be provided when A.S.E. certification in
4 of 8 tests (3 to be from mandatory list of 5) is obtained. The tool allowance
and uniform service will be maintained as long as the employee recertifies.
Failure to recertify will result in demotion to the helper classification.
Employee will not be demoted until 2 recertification attempts have been made and
failed. In addition to A.S.E. certification, each employee must successfully
complete the Nicor Mechanic certification. Must pass Nicor Technician
certification and A.S.E. requirements for Technicians to be qualified to promote
or to upgrade.

      

      Technicians:  Must
pass Nicor Technician certification and all A.S.E. certification tests. Must
A.S.E. recertify every five years. Failure to recertify after two attempts will
result in demotion. Tool allowance and uniform service will continue to be
provided as long as the minimum requirements of the mechanic classification are
met. It is possible for a Technician to be demoted to a helper and lose the tool
allowance and uniform service. Upgrade to Crew Leader will be the Senior
Technician who has A.S.E. certified as a Master Mechanic.

      

      Crew Leader:  Must
pass all 8 A.S.E. certification tests to become a Master Mechanic and promote to
Crew Leader. The Nicor Crew Leader certification must be completed successfully.
Must A.S.E. recertify every five years. Crew Leader will be demoted to the
appropriate job classification based on the number of A.S.E. tests passed, after
attempting two re-certifications, if unable to recertify in all 8. The Senior
Technician will be allowed to exhaust both opportunities to certify before being
bypassed for the promotion.

              2.  

            	
              New
      hires into part-time positions, with less seniority than full-time
      employees in lower job classifications, will not be eligible to transfer
      or promote to a full-time position, or into a like job classification, if
      an employee in a lower job classification is eligible for promotion, in
      accordance with Article III, of the Collective Bargaining

              5.  

            	
              In

              If
      part-time employees are not replaced by full-time employees, in extended

              All
      part-time regular employees shall work a minimum of twenty (20) hours, per
      week, not to exceed 1,500 hours in a calendar year.  If a

      employees, prorated, however, for the number of hours in their regular
      work schedule relative to a regular forty (40) hour work
      schedule.  For example, a part-time employee with more than one
      year, but less than six years of elapsed time service, whose regular work
      schedule is twenty (20) hours per week, will be entitled to earn forty
      (40) hours of paid vacation.  As another example, a part-time
      employee with more than one year, but less than six years of elapsed time
      service, whose regular work schedule is twenty four (24) hours per week,
      will be entitled to earn forty eight (48) hours of paid
      vacation.  Employees scheduled in excess of 20 hours per week
      for two consecutive months or more will be credited with vacation and
      holiday pay during those months based on scheduled hours until returned to
      20 hours per week.

      Eligibility for Physical
Bargaining Unit Promotions

      (Revised
May 2004)

      

      

      In order
to fill physical bargaining unit promotions in the most efficient manner, in the
future the following ground rules should be followed:

      

      
        	
                ·  

              	
                If
      an employee has been offered the opportunity to fill a vacancy and has
      accepted a promotion, the company has no obligation to offer that employee
      any other job classification, at the same pay level, unless the employee’s
      release from his/her present position has been delayed for more than 20
      working days from the date the employee accepted the promotion. In this
      case, the company would then be obligated to offer any new job
      classification opportunities that the employee would be eligible
      for.

              

      

      

      
        	
                ·  

              	
                If
      a Helper, Meter Reader or Locator has been offered and has accepted a
      promotion and is within the 5 day window to return to his/her former
      classification with no penalty, should the employee choose to return
      he/she will be eligible to fill the next available lateral posted.
      However, employees within the 5 day window may be offered promotional
      opportunities to a higher job
classification.

              

      

      

      These
provisions were agreed to by the Company and the Union on August 29, 1997 and
revised May 13, 2004.

              In
      situations where the contractor works overtime and the contractor performs

      employees from the reporting center where the work is being performed the
      opportunity to work.  The work will be offered as designated
      below until an equal number of employees have accepted the work or all
      employees have been asked to work.

      40 hours in a calendar week and will not include hours during extended
      days as a result of necessities on the job or additional days to make up
      for inclement weather.

    The

contractors install new P.E. mains and new P.E. services and then Field
Operations Delivery employees if additional resources are
required.  In areas with no Field Operations Construction employees,
the overtime would be offered to Field Operations Delivery
employees.
