To establish eligibility for benefits,Trust guidelines require that eligible employees must have the required number of hours in a month and have the contractually required contributions paid on their behalf. Eligibility will commence according to the Trust's lag month eligibility rule. Eligibility continues as long as the employee remains eligible, has the contractually required number of hours per month, and has the required contributions made. The Trust, however, will not recognize any contractual provision that conditions continued eligibility on having less than 40 or more than 80 hours in a month. Eligibility will end according to the Trust's policy for employees who do not have the required number of hours and contributions in a month and who do not qualify for an applicable extension of eligibility,if any, Employees of a participating employer not performing work covered by the Collective Bargaining Agreement may participate in the Trust only pursuant to a written special agreement approved in writing by the Trustees.

TRUSTEES'AUTHORITY TO DETERMINE TERMS OF PLANS The parties recognize that the detail of the benefit plans provided by the Trust and the rules under which employees and their dependents shall be eligible for such benefits is determined solely by the Board of Trustees of the Trust in accordance with the terms of the governing Agreement and Declaration of Trust (Trust Agreement). The Trustees retain the sole discretion and authority to interpret the terms of the Trust's benefit plans, the plans' eligibility requirements, and other matters related to the administration and operation of the Trust and its benefits plans. The Trustees may modify benefits or eligibility of any plan for the purpose of cost containment,cost management,or changes in medical technology and treatment. MECHANISM FOR HANDLING CONTRIBUTION INCREASES The Trustees' authority shall include the right to adjust the contribution rates to support the benefit plans offered by the Trust and to maintain adequate reserves to cover any extended eligibility and the Trust's contingent liability, The parties recognize that it is the intent of the Trust not to provide employee benefit plans for less than the full cost of any such plan. If the Collective Bargaining Agreement does not provide a mechanism for fully funding the designated benefit plans,the Board of Trustees may substitute a plan then available that is fully supported by the employer's contribution obligations. The disposition of any excess employer contributions will be subject to the collective bargaining process.
