## Opinion text

BAUER, Circuit Judge,
concurring.
I concur in the judgment. No provision of the Beatrice retirement plan can be construed as granting Beatrice the option to compel the involuntary retirement of an employee prior to age sixty-five. Accordingly, it is impossible for Beatrice to have “observed” a non-existent term of the retirement plan and therefore impossible for Beatrice to claim an exemption under Section 4(f)(2) of the Act. No more need be said.
