Specifically, he/she shall reimburse the Board, at the Board’s option, either: 1) an amount equal to the sum of said living allowance divided by forty-eight (48), then multiplied by the number of months less than forty-eight (48) which the employee has served the Board as a Police Officer, or 2) a portion or percentage of the amount arrived at by the calculation set out in 1), supra.

6. The Recruit agrees that any amount to be so reimbursed or any portion of said amount may be deducted and retained by the Board from any compensation or other monies owing by the Board to the Recruit/Officer at the time of resignation.

7. In the event that the Board shall choose not to exercise its options set forth in Paragraphs 5 and 6, supra, or in the event that the funds available from the exercise of said option in Paragraph 6 shall be insufficient to fully reimburse the Board pursuant to Paragraph 5, supra, the Recruit/Officer agrees that he/she shall be personally responsible for the prompt repayment to the Board of all monies owed by him/her to the Board pursuant to said Paragraph 5, supra.

8. That the total amount of living allowance subject to reimbursement under Paragraph 5, supra, is $17,553, and that Recruit hereby agrees to repay Board the amount of $17,553.
