A. Inside Wiremen Benefits

1. For Participants under the Inside Wire Agreement, including Alumni Participants covered under Subscription Agreements (see Section 3.A.), who retire on or after January 1, 2007 and worked a minimum of 3,000 hours since January 1, 2003, your basic monthly benefit for EACH FULL Future Service Pension Credit is $175.00. The value of each year of Pension Credit earned, however, will depend on your satisfying the minimum Pension Credit hours requirement as shown on the Inside Wire Comparison Benefit Table on the following page. For example, even though you may retire on or after January 1, 2007, if you earned at least 3,000 hours of Pension Credit since January 1, 2002, but failed to do so since January 1, 2003, your accumulated Future Service Pension Credit will be calculated at $170.00 per credit. Regardless of when you retire the value of each year of Pension Credit will depend upon the date you last accumulated a minimum of 3,000 Pension Credit hours.
   
   The pension benefits based on Future Service Pension Credit that were accumulated during different employment periods are listed below.
