                       Â   The date after your collective bargaining agreement that was
                          in effect on October 1, 2016 expires and no new agreement is
                          adopted within 180 days.

                       Effective Dates

                       The rules for early retirement pension changed under the 2016
                       Rehabilitation Plan. See above for an explanation of when the
                       2016 Rehabilitation Plan applies to you.


                       Â   If you are a terminated vested participant as of September 30,
                          2016, these rules will apply to retirements on or after October
                          1, 2016.
                       Â   Please contact the Administrative Office for the early
                          retirement details that applied to you if you retired prior to
                          October 1, 2016.


                       Eligibility for All Early Retirement Pensions
                       For any early retirement, you must satisfy all of the following
                       eligibility criteria:


                       Â   You are at least age 55, but not yet age 65, and
                       Â   6 months have elapsed since your effective date of coverage,
                          and
                       Â   You have at least 5 years of credited service, including 1 or
                          more years of Credited Future Service, and
                       Â   You are not considered a terminated vested participant when
                          you retire.
                       Effective October 1, 2016, you are not considered a terminated
                       vested participant at the time of your retirement if you earn 750
                       or more hours of credit during the Plan Year of your retirement
                       or the Plan Year prior to your retirement.  If you did not incur
                       a break in service in the last Plan Year prior to the Plan Year in
                       which you retire and the 2016 Rehabilitation does not yet apply to
                       you when you retire (see Appendix E), then you will also not be
                       considered a terminated vested participant

                       Each of the Plan’s early retirement pension types are described in
                       the following sections.

                       STANDARD REDUCED PENSION

                       standard reduced early retirement pension on all of your benefits
                       if:
