As long as we continue to pay what is contractually agreed to, there should be no issue (a) The estimated contribution amount is subject to potential increases under the 2014 MOU Extension Agreement if the Company’s health and welfare contributions made to maintain the current level of health and welfare benefits are less than the health and welfare contribution amounts already negotiated.
