SNI Retiree Medical Program. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, for so long as it maintains a retiree medical program established pursuant to Section 5.02(a) above (the “SNI Retiree Medical Program”), as may be amended from time to time, SNI shall cause the SNI Retiree Medical Program to contain provisions regarding eligibility and service crediting that ensure that EWS Participants who, as of the Distribution Date, were eligible to immediately commence benefits under the EWS Retiree Medical Program under the cost of coverage provisions applicable to retirees and SNI Employees who become members of the EWS Group prior to the Transition Period End Date (or such later date as mutually agreed to by the Parties) who, as of such transfer date were eligible to immediately commence benefits under the SNI Retiree Medical Program, are eligible for benefits under the SNI Retiree Medical Program as of the Transition Period End Date. This Section 5.02(c)(ii) is not intended to create any obligation to provide benefits to any retiree, but rather, is intended merely to credit service to the extent such an obligation may exist.
