Prior to the occurrence of a "Preliminary Change in Control" (hereinafter referred to as a "Preliminary CIC"), the Trust shall be revocable and may be altered or amended in any substantive respect, or revoked or terminated by the Grantors in whole or in part provided that no such amendment may increase the duties of the Trustee without its consent. In the event of a Preliminary CIC, the Trust may not be altered or amended in any substantive respect, or revoked or terminated by the Grantor or Grantors incurring a Preliminary CIC unless a majority of the Beneficiaries, determined as of the day before such Preliminary CIC, agree in writing to such an alteration, amendment, revocation or termination provided that no such amendment may increase the duties of the Trustee without its consent. If after a Preliminary CIC occurs but fails to become a Change in Control, thereafter the Trust shall again be revocable and may be altered or amended in any substantive respect, or revoked or terminated by the Grantors in whole or in part provided that no such amendment may increase the duties of the Trustee without its consent. Notwithstanding the preceding, the Trust may be amended following a Preliminary CIC or a Change in Control without approval of the Beneficiaries to protect the tax status or ERISA status of this Trust. For purposes of this Trust, Preliminary CIC and other capitalized terms if not defined in the Trust shall have the same meaning as set forth in the Grantor's respective Deferred Compensation Plan for Directors.
