between _________________________ (herein referred to as the "Company"), and the United Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners of America (hereinafter referred to as the "UBCJA").

The Company agrees to recognize the jurisdictional claims of the UBCJA and to comply with the contractual wages, fringe benefits, hours and other working conditions established between the UBCJA affiliates and the employers or recognized employer agencies in the localities in which the Company does any work within the jurisdiction of the UBCJA.

Payment of annuity, pension and/or health and welfare contributions for an employee's work in each locality shall be made to such funds and in such amounts as are identified in the applicable collective bargaining agreement for that locality, provided that the designated fund is signatory to a UBCJA National Reciprocal Agreement. In the event such annuity, pension and/or health and welfare fund is not signatory to the appropriate National Reciprocal Agreement, the equivalent contribution amounts shall be paid to the relevant fund identified in the collective bargaining agreement of the UBCJA affiliate in the employee's home area, or, in the event such home area fund refuses to accept that contribution, to the Carpenters Labor-Management Pension Trust.

Provided further, that the Company may, at its discretion, submit the contributions to the employee's home-area local union or district council funds even if the work-area local union or district council funds and the employee's home-area local union or district council funds are signatory to a UBCJA National Reciprocal Agreement. If the Company chooses this option, it shall provide sufficient proof to the work-area local union or district council funds that the appropriate contribution amount has been paid to the employee's home-area local union or district council funds. This option shall not be available if the employee's home-area local union or district council funds refuses to accept such payments. However, in no event shall the Company's "key" traveling employees be paid less in wages, and annuity, pension, and/or health and welfare contributions, than what is required under their home-area local union or district council collective bargaining agreement. This provision, Article II. is strictly limited to the Company's payment of annuity, pension and/or health and welfare contributions. The Company is obligated to pay dues check-off and all other contributions required under the applicable work-area collective bargaining agreement to the work-area local union or district council.

The Company and the UBCJA recognize the need for quality safety and health training and related services to enable UBCJA workers to remain healthy and productive, and to aid the Company in meeting its own safety and health goals as well as those established by government agencies and construction owners. The Company and the UBCJA further recognize the need for quality training for apprentices and journeypersons to meet the industry's needs for skilled craft labor. And finally, the Company and the UBCJA recognize the importance of cooperating in jointly and aggressively pursuing new work opportunities utilizing Union members and in formulating new initiatives designed to enhance the competitiveness of Union contractors.
