Gentlemen:
This has reference to the Merger Implementing Agreement entered into this date. With regard to Article II E. the following shall apply:
  1. Trainmen presently working in the Salina Hub who elect not to stay and participate in the formulation of the new rosters for the Salina Hub will forfeit all existing seniority they may hold in any portion of the Salina Hub.
  2. Trainmen presently working outside the Salina Hub who hold existing seniority in any portion of the Salina Hub who elect not to participate in the formulation for new rosters for the Salina Hub will forfeit all existing seniority in any portion of the Salina Hub.
  3. Trainmen participating in the roster formulation process for the Salina Hub who presently hold trainmen's seniority outside the Salina Hub will be handled as follows:
​a. All trainman seniority outside the Salina Hub will be held in abeyance and may not be utilized for any purposes except as outlined below.

b. When subsequent implementing agreements are concluded in other hubs which encompass the seniority described in a. above, which has been held in abeyance, such seniority may be exercised in the roster formulation process for such hub(s) subject to the following limitations:
​(1) The exercise of such option shall be considered a seniority move and shall be at the employee's own expense.

(2) A trainman utilizing this provision to select a different hub will forfeit all seniority in the Salina Hub.

(3) Trainmen making application for a relocation allowance in this hub will be considered as forfeiting the options set forth in this Side Letter.
​4. The rights set forth in (b) above may only be exercised to the extent that there is an unfilled need for trainmen at such hub at the time rosters for such hub are formulated. Carrier reserves the right to limit the number of such requests made based upon manpower requirements and the number accepted will be in seniority order. In the event such move will create a shortage of trainmen within the Salina Hub the Carrier may hold such applicant for a reasonable amount of time to allow for a replacement.

5. If applications are declined under (4) above, they will be considered in the future on a seniority order basis prior to the Carrier posting a bulletin or advertisement for new trainmen trainees.

6. Trainmen accepting the option set forth in (5) above will be placed at the bottom of the common roster at the new hub with a new seniority date. If the foregoing adequately and accurately describes our agreement in this regard, please so indicate by signing in the space provided for that purpose below.
