(A) The National Pension Plan utilized a five year amortization extension in accordance with § 431(d) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 ("the Code") to amortize its losses from 2008. The plan re-certified its zone status after using the amortization provisions of the Code. The Company's contributions to the plan did not represent more than 5% of total contributions to the plan as indicated in the plan's most recently available annual report for the plan year ended December 31, 2011. Under the terms of the collective-bargaining agreement, the Company is required to make contributions to the plan for each hour worked up to a maximum of 40 hours per week, at the following rates: $1.15 per hour from August 9, 2010 through August 7, 2011; $1.20 per hour from August 8, 2011 through August 12, 2012; and, $1.25 per hour from August 13, 2012 through August 10, 2013.
