6 | Chicago, Illinois | Pursuant to an agreement I individually reached with the University of Chicago, I have obtained a 10-year mortgage for my primary residence. Pursuant to the terms of the agreement, as long as I retain my position with the university I will be entitled to retain this mortgage. However, should I resign or be suspended, I will need to repay the mortgage. With the prior written approval of the School, leaves of absence of up to 12 months per absence would not be considered a termination/suspension of my employment. If I remain on leave for more than 12 months, I will either refinance the mortgage with a different lender, pay market rate for the period of my government service, or pay off the mortgage. | 10/2016 | |

If I remain on leave after 12 months, I will pay the full premiums (both University and employee share) if I continue to participate in the basic life insurance plan. | 7/2008 | |
8 | Chicago, Illinois | Pursuant to school policy, I have the option to continue my medical, dental, vision, long-term disability, and supplemental term life insurance during my leave of absence for up to 24 months. I also have the option to continue personal accident insurance for the first year of my leave of absence. For all of these benefits, I have set up a direct pay option and pay market rates. | 7/2008 |
