13. Statement of ERISA Rights:

As a participant in this plan you are entitled to certain rights and protections under the
Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA). ERISA provides that all
plan participants shall be entitled to:

(a) Examine, without charge, at the Plan Administrator’s office and at other
specified locations, such as work sites and union halls, all plan documents,
including insurance contracts, collective bargaining agreements and copies of all
documents filed by the plan with the U.S. Department of Labor, such as detailed
annual reports and plan descriptions.
(b) Obtain copies of all plan documents and other plan information upon written
request to the Plan Administrator. The administrator may make a reasonable
charge for the copies.
(c) Receive a summary of the plan’s annual financial report if the plan covers 100
or more participants. The Plan Administrator is required by law to furnish each
participant with a copy of this summary financial report.

In addition to creating rights for plan participants, ERISA imposes duties upon the
people who are responsible for the operation of the employee benefit plan. The people
who operate your plan, called “fiduciaries” of the plan, have a duty to do so prudently
and in the interest of you and other plan participants. No one, including your employer,
your union or any other person, may fire you or otherwise discriminate against you in any
way to prevent you from obtaining a welfare benefit or exercising your rights under
ERISA. If your claim for a welfare benefit is denied in whole or in part, you may receive
a written explanation of the reason for the denial. You have the right to have the plan
review and reconsider your claim.

Under ERISA, there are steps you can take to enforce the above rights. For instance,
if you request materials from the plan and do not receive them within thirty (30) days,
you may file suit in a federal court. In such case, the court may require the Plan
Administrator to provide the materials and pay you up to $100 a day until you receive the
materials, unless the materials were not sent because of reasons beyond the control of the
Administrator.

If you have a claim for benefits which is denied or ignored, in whole or in part, you
may file suit in a state or federal court. If it should happen that plan fiduciaries misuse
the plan’s money or if you are discriminated against for asserting your rights, you may
seek assistance from the U.S. Department of Labor, or you may file suit in a federal
court. The court will decide who should pay court costs and legal fees. If you are
successful the court may order the person you have sued to pay these costs and fees. If
you lose, the court may order you to pay these costs and fees, for example, if it finds your
claim is frivolous.

If you have any questions about your plan, you should contact the Plan Administrator.
If you have any questions about this statement or about your rights under ERISA, you
should contact the nearest Area Office of the U.S. Labor-Management Services
Administration Department of Labor.
