exchange or other transfer (in one transaction or a series of related
transactions) of all or substantially all the assets or earning power of the
Grantor, or (3) the liquidation or dissolution of the Grantor.

(b) Investment of Accounts under Article VI of Plan: Each Executive
Officer Participant's Basic, Deferral, and Matching Accounts under Article VI of

Officer Participant's Account which are invested in Company Securities
may not be reinvested in any other investment.

2.6 Investment Directions: The Committee shall provide written
investment directions to the Trustee, except as otherwise provided in Section
2.5 with respect to amounts in an Executive Officer Participant's Basic,
Deferral, and Matching Accounts. The investment directions shall be in
accordance with Sections 2.5, 2.8 and the terms of the Plan. In no event,
however, shall investment rights be exercisable by or rest with Plan
Participants, except as otherwise provided in Section 2.5 with respect to
amounts in an Executive Officer Participant's Basic, Deferral, and Matching
Accounts.
2.7 Allocation of Investment Responsibilities: The Trustee shall control
and manage the Trust Assets, and shall invest and reinvest the same without
distinction between income and principal in accordance with the guidelines in
Sections 2.5, 2.8, the written investment directions issued by the Committee
pursuant to Sections 2.6 and 3.6(b), and the terms of the Plan; provided,
however, that at any time prior to the date of any Change in Control (but not
after such date) the Committee may allocate and reallocate investment
responsibility with respect to any Trust Assets between the Committee and the
Trustee. Any such allocation or reallocation of investment responsibility shall
be made by the Committee in a written instrument delivered to the Trustee.
2.8 Investment after Change in Control: Upon any Change in Control, the
Trust Assets, to the extent not invested in Insurance Contracts, shall be
invested and reinvested in short-term liquid investments until such Trust Assets
are used to pay out the Deferred Benefits to the Participants in accordance with
Section 7.1 (c)(1) of the Plan and to provide for the payment of Death Benefits
to the Participants and Beneficiaries in accordance with Section 7.1(c)(2) of
the Plan and to pay out the Supplemental Savings Benefits to the Participants in
accordance with Section 7.1(c)(3) of the Plan and to pay out the other Plan

2.9 Distribution of Trust Assets:
(a) Payment of Deferred Benefits, Death Benefits, Supplemental
Savings Benefits and Other Plan Exhibits B and C Benefits: The Trustee
shall pay the Grantor and the Grantor shall, in turn, pay the Deferred
Benefits in cash to Participants (or, at the election of Participants
pursuant to the Plan, shall distribute paid-up Insurance Contracts to
Participants) in satisfaction of the Grantor's obligations under the
Plan and the Trustee shall pay the Grantor and the Grantor shall, in
turn, pay the Death Benefits in cash to Beneficiaries in satisfaction of
the Grantor's obligations under the Plan and the Trustee shall pay the
Grantor and the Grantor shall, in turn, pay the Supplemental Savings
Benefits in cash to Participants (or, at the election of Participants
pursuant to the Plan, shall distribute paid-up Insurance Contracts to
Participants) in satisfaction of the Grantor's obligations under the
Plan and the Trustee shall pay the Grantor and the Grantor shall, in
turn, pay the other benefits provided under, or pursuant to, Plan
Exhibits B and C to Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxx and Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxxxx,
respectively (or, at the election of Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxx or Xxxxxx X.
Xxxxxxxx, as applicable, pursuant to the Plan, shall distribute paid-up
Insurance Contracts to Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxx or Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxxxx, as
applicable), in satisfaction of the Grantor's obligations under, or
pursuant to, Plan Exhibits B and C to the extent Grantor does not make
such payments
-7-
directly from non-Trust assets to Participants and Beneficiaries, respectively
(or to Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxx or Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxxxx under, or pursuant to, Plan
Exhibits B and C, as applicable). Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent
the Accounts of any Participant are invested in Company Securities, distribution
shall only be made in Company Securities unless the Participant elects and the
Board of Directors of the Company approves the distribution to such Participant
in cash. Such election shall be made in accordance with the terms of the Plan.
Moreover, notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent the Phantom Stock Account
is invested in Company Securities, distribution from such Account shall be made
in Company Securities unless Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxxxx elects and the Board of
Directors of the Company approves a cash distribution of such Account. Such
election shall be made in accordance with the terms of the Plan. To the extent
sufficient Trust Assets do not exist to pay Deferred Benefits to a Participant
or Death Benefits to a Participant or Beneficiary or Supplemental Savings
Benefits to a Participant, or other benefits under, or pursuant to, Plan
Exhibits B and C to Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxx and Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxxxx, respectively,
neither the Trust nor Trustee shall be liable to such Participant or such
Beneficiary. The Grantor's obligations shall not be limited to the value of the
Trust Assets, and a Participant and/or Beneficiary (as applicable) shall have a
claim against the Grantor for any payment not made from the Trust to such
Participant and/or Beneficiary. The Trustee shall make payments to the Grantor
for the benefit of the Participant and/or Beneficiary in accordance with Section
4.2. The Grantor shall make any required income and other tax withholding and
shall pay amounts withheld to the appropriate taxing authorities.
(b) Acceleration of Payments: Notwithstanding any other provision of
this Trust Agreement, if the Trustee determines, based on a change in the tax or
revenue laws of the United States, a published ruling or similar announcement
issued by the Internal Revenue Service, a regulation issued by the Secretary of
the Treasury or his delegate, a decision by a court of competent jurisdiction
involving a Participant, or a closing agreement involving a Participant made
under section 7121 of the Code that is approved by the Commissioner, that such
Participant or Beneficiary has recognized or will recognize income for Federal
income tax purposes with respect to the Deferred Benefits that are or will be
payable to the Participant or the Death Benefits that are or will be payable to
the Participant or Beneficiary or the Supplemental Savings Benefits that are or
will be payable to the Participant or the other benefits that are or will be
payable under, or pursuant to, Plan Exhibits B and C to Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxx and
Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxxxx before they otherwise would be paid to the Participant or the
Beneficiary (as applicable), upon the request of the Participant or Beneficiary,
the Trustee shall immediately make distribution to the Grantor and the Grantor
shall, in turn, make immediate distribution to the Participant or Beneficiary of
the amount so taxable. In the event of such payments, the Grantor shall withhold
from such payments the amounts required to satisfy any income and other tax
withholding and shall pay over such amounts to the appropriate taxing
authorities.
Moreover, in the event of a Change in Control, payment of Deferred
Benefits provided under Article IV of the Plan (and any additional amounts
provided under Section 7.1(c)(1) of the Plan) shall be made in accordance with
Article IV of the Plan and Section 7.1(c)(1) of the Plan and payment of Death
Benefits provided under Article V of the Plan (and any additional amounts
provided under Section 7.1(c)(2) of the Plan) shall be made in accordance with
Article V of the Plan and Section 7.1(c)(2) of the Plan and payment of
Supplemental Savings Benefits provided under Article VI of the Plan (and any
additional amounts provided under Section 7.1(c)(3) of the Plan) shall be made
in accordance with Article VI of the Plan and Section 7.1 (c)(3) of the Plan and
the payment of benefits under, or pursuant to, Plan Exhibits B and C shall be
made in accordance with Plan Exhibits B and C. Moreover, in the event the
Compensation Committee of the Board determines that the Trust does not provide
adequate
-8-
security for payment of benefits under the Trust pursuant to Section
7.2 of the Plan, at the direction of the Compensation Committee of the
Board, payment of Deferred Benefits provided under Article IV of the

(d) Determination of Change in Control: At the request of fifty-one (51)
percent or more of the Participants in the Plan, or in the Trustee's discretion,

make such determination in accordance with the definition of Change in Control
in this Trust Agreement. In performing its duties pursuant to
-13-
Sections 2.9, 4.2 and 4.3, the Trustee may rely on its determination, including
an opinion of counsel (who may be counsel to the Trustee), that a Change in
Control has occurred, as long as the Trustee acts in accordance with the terms
of the Plan and this Trust Agreement using the care, skill, prudence, and

Control has occurred prior to the date such determination is made by the Trustee
or, if the Trustee has determined that a Change of Control has not occurred,
after the date of such Trustee determination, the determination of the
Compensation Committee of the Board that a Change in Control has occurred shall
be final and binding on the Trustee and on all other persons.
(e) Notice by Trustee of Payment of Deferred Benefits, Death Benefits,
Supplemental Savings Benefits and Plan Exhibits B and C Benefits: The Trustee

Beneficiary when it believes that all Deferred Benefits due each such
Participant and that all Death Benefits due each such Participant or Beneficiary
and that all Supplemental Savings Benefits due each such Participant and that
all other benefits due Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxx and Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxxxx under, or
pursuant to, Plan Exhibits B and C under the distribution directions on which it
is relying have been paid. Such notice shall state that the Trustee believes
that all Deferred Benefits, Death Benefits, Supplemental Savings Benefits and
other benefits under, or pursuant to, Plan Exhibits B and C due from the Trust

disagrees with this determination he must do so within sixty (60) days of the
date of the notice. Such Participant or Beneficiary (as applicable) shall notify
the Trustee within sixty 160) days of the date of the notice if he believes all

applicable) due the Participant or Beneficiary (as applicable) under the Plan or
other benefits under, or pursuant to, Plan Exhibits B and C due Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxx
or Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxxxx (as applicable) have not been paid. If the Participant or

due Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxx and Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxxxx under, or pursuant to, Plan Exhibits
B and C have been paid. Any such determination shall be in accordance with the
Plan as it exists on the day before the date of any Change in Control. In
performing its duties pursuant to this Section 3.7(e) and pursuant to Section
2.3(d), the Trustee may rely on an opinion of counsel (who may be counsel to the
Trustee but shall not be counsel to the Grantor) that all such Deferred Benefits
due the Participants and all such Death Benefits due the Participants and
Beneficiaries and all such Supplemental Savings Benefits due the Participants
and all other benefits due Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxx and Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxxxx under, or
pursuant to, Plan Exhibits B and C have been paid, as long as the Trustee acts

care, skill, prudence, and diligence under the circumstances then prevailing
that a prudent person acting in a like capacity and familiar with such matters

aims. The determination made by the Trustee in this manner shall be conclusive
on all persons.
If the Trustee determines that all Deferred Benefits due the Participant
and/or all the Death Benefits due the Participant and/or Beneficiary and/or all
Supplemental Savings Benefits due the Participant and/or all the other benefits
due Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxx and Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxxxx
- 14-
under, or pursuant to, Plan Exhibits B and C have not been paid, the
Trustee shall make such further payments as it determines are due.
If (1) the Trustee determines that all Deferred Benefits due the
Participant and all Death Benefits due the Participant and/or
Beneficiary and all Supplemental Savings Benefits due the Participant
and all other benefits due Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxx and Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxxxx
under, or pursuant to, Plan Exhibits B and C have been paid or (2) the
Participant and/or Beneficiary does not provide notice to the Trustee
within the sixty (60)-day period described above that such Participant

been paid or that such Participant believes that all Supplemental
Savings Benefits due have not been paid or that Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxx or
Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxxxx believe that all other benefits due under, or
pursuant to, Plan Exhibits B and C have not been paid, then the Trustee
shall pay to the Grantor all Trust Assets remaining in this Trust, if
any.

Instructions or Data: The Trustee shall not be liable for losses or unfavorable
results arising from its compliance with, or reliance on, proper directions,

to make payment to the Grantor of the Deferred Benefit due a Participant in
accordance with the terms of Article IV of the Plan or of a Death Benefit due a
Participant or Beneficiary in accordance with the terms of Article V of the Plan
or of the Supplemental Savings Benefit due a Participant in accordance with the
terms of Article VI of the Plan or of the Plan Exhibit B and C benefits due
Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxx or Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxxxx (as applicable) in accordance with the
terms of Plan Exhibits B and C, the Grantor shall remain fully liable for the
payment of such amounts. Such liability of the Grantor constitutes an unsecured
promise to pay Deferred Benefits and/or Death Benefits and/or Supplemental
Savings Benefits and/or Plan Exhibit B and C benefits and the Participant's
and/or Beneficiary's (as applicable) status shall be that of a general unsecured
creditor. In the event of the Grantor's Insolvency or any written allegation of
such Insolvency, the Trustee shall apply the Trust Assets in accordance with
Section 3.7(b).
The Trustee shall be authorized to apply to a court of competent
jurisdiction for direction at any time it determines that it has insufficient
information to determine the amounts of Deferred Benefit and/or Death Benefit
and/or Supplemental Savings and/or Plan Exhibits B and C payments that would be
consistent with the provisions of the Plan. In the event that the Trustee
applies to a court for direction pursuant to this Section 4.2, all costs and
reasonable attorneys' fees incurred in connection with such application shall be
paid by the Grantor.
The Grantor, in the event payment is made by the Grantor in accordance
with the provisions set forth above before a Change in Control, shall withhold
from any payment to the Participant (or his Spouse or other beneficiary) under
Article IV of the Plan and from any payment to the Participant or Beneficiary
under Article V of the Plan and from any payment to the Participant (or his
Spouse or other Beneficiary) under Article VI of the Plan and from any payment
to Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxx (or his Spouse or other Beneficiary) and to Xxxxxx X.
Xxxxxxxx (or his Spouse or other Beneficiary) under Plan Exhibits B and C the
amount required by law to be withheld under Federal, state and local wage
withholding requirements and shall pay over to the appropriate governmental
authority any amount so withheld. On and after a Change in Control, the Trustee
shall make such payments but shall withhold therefrom and pay over to the
Grantor the amount required to satisfy such withholding requirements and the
Grantor shall remit such amounts to the appropriate governmental authorities.
4.3 Distribution: Except as otherwise provided in Section 2.9(a),
distribution of Deferred Benefits payable to the Participant or his Spouse or
other Beneficiary and of Death Benefits payable to the Participant or
Beneficiary and of Supplemental Savings Benefits payable to the Participant or
his Spouse or other Beneficiary and of Plan Exhibit B benefits payable to Xxxxxx
X. Xxxxxx or his Spouse or other Beneficiary and of Plan Exhibit C benefits
payable to Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxxxx or his Spouse or other Beneficiary shall be made
in accordance with the terms of Articles IV, V and VI of the Plan and of Plan
Exhibits B and C as in effect on the day before the date of a Change in Control.
4.4 Account Records: All accounting records, valuation schedules,
periodic statements, and audits pertaining to this Trust and the Trust Accounts
shall be retained as a part of the permanent records of the Trustee in
accordance with its usual recordkeeping procedures for trust accounts. The
Committee may, in its discretion, direct the Trustee to retain, at the expense
of this Trust,
-18-
independent certified public accountants to audit such records; provided,
however, that nothing in this Trust Agreement shall be construed so as to
deprive the Trustee of the right to seek and obtain a judicial settlement of its
accounts at the expense of this Trust.
4.5 Notices, Directions and Other Communications: All notices,
directions, and other communications by a Fiduciary pursuant to this Trust
Agreement (herein referred to as "directions") shall be given or made in writing
by the person or persons specifically authorized by the Fiduciary to act on its
behalf, and shall be deemed effective upon receipt by the addressee; provided,
however, that transmission of such directions by photostatic teletransmission
with duplicate or facsimile signature shall be an authorized method of
communication until the Fiduciary is notified by the Committee that the use of
such device is no longer authorized, and provided further that transmission of
such directions by telephone shall also be an authorized method of communication
until the Fiduciary is notified by the Committee to the contrary. Any direction
transmitted by telephone shall be promptly confirmed by a written instrument.
The Trustee shall be entitled to act upon and settle any transactions with the
Insurer in reliance upon directions transmitted by telephone as recorded and
transcribed by the Trustee. If the Trustee fails to receive a written
confirmation of such a direction transmitted by telephone within five (5)
business days following the date of receipt of such direction, or if a written
confirmation received conflicts with the oral direction received by telephone,
the Trustee shall promptly notify the Fiduciary giving the direction orally of
such fact and request (a) delivery of such written confirmation forthwith if it
has not been received, or (b) an additional direction if there is a conflict
between the oral directions and the written confirmation. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the Trustee is authorized to settle trades effected by a Fiduciary
having investment authority through a securities depository utilizing an
institutional delivery system, in which event the Trustee may deliver or receive
securities in accordance with appropriate trade reports or statements given the
Trustee by such depository without having received communications or
instructions directly from the Fiduciary.
4.6 Reports by Trustee: The Trustee shall submit to the Committee and
each Participant in the Plan such interim valuations, reports, or other
information as the Committee and such Participant may reasonably request. Within
sixty (60) days after (a) the end of each Plan Year, (b) the end of each Plan
Year quarter, (c) the effective date of the Trustee's removal or resignation,
or (d) the effective date of termination of this Trust, unless a different
period is mutually agreed upon, the Trustee shall submit to the Committee
and the Participants in the Plan a written report relating to the period
following the period covered by its last report. Such report shall set forth
all transactions relating to this Trust during the applicable period,
including, but not limited to, investment purchases and sales, receipts,
disbursements, and a listing of the Trust Assets by Trust Account showing
carrying and market values as of the end of the report period.
4.7 Notification of Rights Regarding Securities: The Trustee shall have
no obligation to determine the existence of any conversion, redemption,
exchange, subscription, or other right relating to any securities purchased
hereunder of which notice was given prior to the purchase of such securities,
and shall have no obligation to exercise any such right unless it is informed of
the existence of the right and is instructed to exercise such right, in writing,
by the Fiduciary making or directing the investment in such securities, within a
reasonable time prior to the expiration of such right.
4.8 Tax Assessments: In the event that any income or other tax or
assessment is levied upon or assessed against this Trust or any portion thereof,
or upon or against the interest, if any, of any person in this Trust or any
portion thereof, or the transfer or payment of such interest to any such person,
or upon the Trustee by reason of the existence of this Trust or anything done by
the Trustee pursuant thereto, the Trustee shall immediately notify the Committee
thereof. If the Trustee receives no notice or direction from the Committee, the
Trustee shall have the power to pay such tax or assessment to the extent not
paid by the Grantor from such portion of this Trust against which the
-19-
tax or assessment has been levied; or if such tax or assessment is not
applicable to any specific portion of this Trust or to the interest, if any, of
any specific person therein, the Trustee shall have authority to pay such tax or
assessment from this Trust. In the event that the Committee desires to contest
the validity, in whole or in part, of any such tax or assessment, it shall give
the Trustee notice thereof, and the Trustee, upon receiving reasonable indemnity
(including reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses) therefor from the Grantor,
shall take such steps as the Committee directs with respect to contesting the
validity, in whole or in part, of any such tax or assessment. The Trustee shall
further, upon receiving reasonable indemnity from the Grantor, either permit the
Committee to bring such action or proceeding in the name of the Trustee as said
Committee deems advisable to test the validity of such tax or assessment, or the
Trustee itself shall bring such action. Whether the action is brought in the
name of the Trustee by the Committee or prosecuted directly by the Trustee, the
Committee shall have the right to select counsel acceptable to the Trustee and
to control the prosecution of said action or proceeding. The Trustee, however,
shall not be required to bring any action or proceeding to test the validity, in
whole or in part, of any such tax or assessment unless so directed by the
Committee, and upon giving said Committee notice of the levy of any such tax or
assessment, the Trustee shall not itself be required to inquire into or question
the validity of such tax or assessment. Prior to making any payments, transfers
or distributions of, or from, any portion of this Trust as provided in this
Trust Agreement, the Trustee may require such releases or other documents from
any lawful taxing authorities as it shall deem necessary or advisable.
4.9 Validity of Contracts: The Trustee shall not be responsible for the
validity or proper execution of any contract delivered to it, nor for any act of
any person which may render any such contract void or voidable.
4.10 Principal and Income: No distinction shall be made between the
principal and income in the management and administration of this Trust.
ARTICLE V -- PROVISIONS RELATING TO TRUSTEE

sixty (60) days' written notice to the Committee, unless a shorter period is
acceptable to the Committee. The Committee may at any time prior to the date of
a Change in Control remove the Trustee upon sixty (60) days' written notice to
the Trustee, unless a shorter period is acceptable to the Trustee. On or after
the date of a Change in Control, the Compensation Committee of the Board (as it
is constituted on the day before the date of a Change in Control) may, with the
written consent of at least fifty-one (51) percent of the Participants in the
Plan, remove the Trustee upon sixty (60) days' written notice to the Trustee,
unless a shorter period is acceptable to the Trustee.
5.2 Appointment of Successor: In the event of the removal of, or
resignation of, the Trustee prior to a Change in Control, the Committee shall
appoint a successor with the written consent of the Grantor. In the event of the

Control, the Compensation Committee of the Board (as it is constituted on the
day before the date of a Change in Control) shall appoint a successor with the
written consent of at least fifty-one (51) percent of the Participants in the
Plan. If the Committee, or said Compensation Committee of the Board, fails to
appoint a successor by the end of the sixty (60)-day period referred to in
Section 5.1, the Trustee may secure the appointment of a successor by a court of
competent jurisdiction. All expenses of the Trustee in connection with the
proceeding shall be allowed as an expense of the Trust. The Trustee shall remain
vested with the rights, powers and duties set forth in this Trust Agreement
until its successor delivers written acceptance of such appointment to the
Committee (or Compensation Committee of the Board, if applicable) and the
retiring Trustee. Upon the receipt of such written acceptance, the successor
Trustee shall be vested with all the rights,
-20-
powers and duties of the Trustee under this Trust Agreement, and the retiring
Trustee shall endorse, transfer, assign, convey and deliver to its successor all
of the Insurance Contracts and other property then held by it under this Trust,
except such amount as shall be agreed upon between the Trustee and the Committee
(or Compensation Committee of the Board, if applicable), as reasonable

delivery of the assets to the successor Trustee.
A successor Trustee may not be the Grantor, any person who would be a
"related or subordinate party" to the Grantor within the meaning of section
672(c) of the Code, or a corporation that would be a member of an "affiliated
group" of corporations including the Grantor within the meaning of section
1504(a) of the Code if the words "80 percent" were replaced by the words "50
percent" wherever they appear in such section.

this Trust Agreement, the Grantor delivered to the Trustee the name, address,
date of birth, and Social Security number of each Participant covered under
Article IV of the Plan and each Participant covered under Article V of the Plan
and the name, address, date of birth and social security number of each
Beneficiary of each Participant covered under Article V of the Plan. Upon the
execution of the Trust Agreement, as previously amended and restated, the
Grantor delivered to the Trustee the name, address, date of birth, and Social

year.
5.4 Expenses and Trustee Compensation: The Trustee shall be entitled to
reasonable compensation for its services and shall be reimbursed for all
reasonable expenses incurred by it in performing its duties hereunder,
including, but not limited to, legal and accounting expenses. Such compensation
is set forth in a separate schedule. Such schedule may be modified from time to
time as agreed to by the Committee (or Compensation Committee of the Board, if
applicable) and the Trustee. All such compensation and expenses shall be paid to
the Trustee by the Grantor; provided, however, that such compensation and
expenses shall constitute a charge upon this Trust, and may be withdrawn by the
Trustee from this Trust upon prior written notice to the Grantor if not
otherwise paid. Any costs or expenses that are chargeable to this Trust but
which for administrative convenience and efficiency are paid or incurred by the
Grantor shall be fully reimbursed by this Trust to the Grantor upon presentation
to the Trustee of an accounting of such costs and expenses, including any costs
and expenses incurred by the Committee or any employees in connection with
administrative activities relating to the Plan. In all cases the Trustee shall
be entitled to rely upon the Grantor's statement and directions concerning the
payment of any such administration expenses and shall be fully protected in
making such payments pursuant to the directions of the Committee.

to ensure that the Grantor is at all times treated as the owner of the Trust for

refrain from undertaking (as the case may be) such actions. The Grantor hereby
irrevocably authorizes the Trustee to be its attorney-in-fact for the purpose of
performing any act which the Trustee, in its sole discretion, deems necessary or
