term of October 1, 2005, through September 30, 2009. The key provisions of this contract include wage increases of 4.0% for the first year and
3.25% for each year thereafter, increases in contributions to health insurance premiums, deductibles, medical and prescription co-payments to be paid by the employees, and ineligibility for pension and post-retirement benefits for new union
employees hired on or after January 1, 2006, and October 1, 2005, respectively. To compensate new employees covered under the collective bargaining agreement for their ineligibility for the pension plan, they receive a 4.0% match under the
Company’s 401(k) plan. This agreement was amended October 25, 2006, to reflect the freeze on future salary and service accruals effective December 31, 2006, for current employees in the Company’s Pension Plan. Negotiations for
the collective bargaining agreement, to take effect October 1, 2009, will begin in the second or third quarter of 2009. The Company expects to successfully negotiate a new agreement prior to the expiration of the current agreements.
