AGREEMENT
In consideration of the mutual representations, warranties, covenants and
agreements set forth herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the
receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties agree as
follows:
1. Resignation. Effective as of the Effective Date, Executive shall be
deemed to have resigned from his employment with the Company and from all
offices and directorships held with the Company or any of its affiliates and/or
subsidiaries and with companies advised by the Company or its affiliates and/or
subsidiaries. Executive shall promptly execute such documents as the Company may
reasonably deem necessary or desirable to effectuate the foregoing.

Date, the Company shall pay Executive, in cash, the gross amount of $1,500,000,
less required withholdings.

Effective Date, and no later than 30 days after the Effective Date, the Company
shall enter into, with a Trustee selected by the Company with Executive's
approval (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld), a trust agreement in
substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit B.
3. Welfare Benefits.
(a) For the period commencing on the Effective Date and continuing
through the earlier of the three-year anniversary of the Effective Date or the
date on which Executive and his spouse and dependents becomes eligible, under
another employer's employee benefit plans, to receive welfare benefits
substantially similar to those enjoyed by Executive and his spouse and
dependents, before the Effective Date, under Section 3(b)(v) of the Employment
Agreement: (i) the Company shall continue to provide such welfare benefits to
Executive and his spouse and dependents on the same basis such benefits were
provided to Executive immediately before the Effective Date, provided that the
cost of such coverage shall be treated as taxable income to Executive; or (ii)
if the Company ceases to maintain any program of welfare benefits under which
any of such benefits can be provided, then the Company shall provide Executive
with the lump sum cash equivalent thereof, grossed up for taxes.
(b) The Parties acknowledge and agree that the benefits provided
herein are not in lieu of any rights under the Consolidated Omnibus Budget
Reconciliation Act ("COBRA") that Executive, his spouse, and/or dependents might
otherwise have as the result of any loss of the coverage provided for herein.
4. Stock and Stock Options
(a) For purposes of this Agreement, the "LTI PLAN" shall refer to
the Company's Long-Term Incentive Compensation Plan effective as of the
Effective Date, and the "OPTION AGREEMENTS" shall refer collectively to the
agreements reflecting and establishing certain terms of all stock options
granted by the Company to Executive in connection with his employment with the
Company, which stock options are summarized in Exhibit C hereto. All stock
options that had vested as of the Effective Date shall thereafter be exercisable
when and as set forth in the LTI Plan. All restricted stock that had vested as
of the Effective Date shall be governed, to the extent applicable, by the terms
of the LTI Plan.
(b) Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, all
stock, stock options and other incentives of any kind granted or issued to
Executive by the Company in connection with his employment with the Company but
that had not yet vested as of the Effective Date shall be terminated or
forfeited, as the case may be.
(c) Except as specifically amended or terminated by this Agreement,
the terms and conditions of the LTI Plan and all agreements pursuant to which
the Company granted Executive any Company stock or stock options, or otherwise
relating to or arising from any such stock or stock option grants, shall remain
in full force and effect according to their terms.
5. Transitional Consulting. The Parties understand and agree that it is in
their mutual best interest to minimize the effect of Executive's resignation
upon the Company's business. Accordingly, Executive agrees to take all actions
reasonably requested of him by the Company reasonably necessary to accomplish
that objective, and that he will not knowingly take any action that is intended
to, or that he knows is reasonably likely to, result in the redemption of any
investment assets managed by the Company as of the Effective Date, or to
otherwise materially damage the Company's business. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, Executive
2
further agrees to consult with the Company, during the Consulting Period, on an
as needed, as-requested basis, and to participate in communications with the
Company's investors and/or investment clients, such as are deemed by the Company
to be necessary or advisable to minimize the effect of Executive's resignation
upon the Company's business.
6. No Admission of Liability. This Agreement, the Company's offer to
Executive of this Agreement and the payments set forth herein are not intended
as, and shall not be construed as, an admission of liability by or to, or of
improper conduct on the part of, either the Company or Executive.
7. Restrictive Covenants,
(a) Executive acknowledges that his employment as a senior officer
of the Company creates a relationship of confidence and trust between the
Executive and the Company with respect to confidential and proprietary
information applicable to the business of the Company and its clients. Executive
further acknowledges the highly competitive nature of the business of the
Company. Accordingly, it is agreed that the restrictions contained in this
Section 7 are reasonable and necessary for the protection of the interests of
the Company and that any violation of these restrictions would cause substantial
and irreparable injury to the Company.
(b) Protection of Confidential Information.
i. Definition of Confidential Information. For purposes of
this Agreement, "CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION" shall mean all nonpublic information
(whether in paper or electronic form, or contained in Executive's memory, or
otherwise stored or recorded) relating to or arising from Company's business,
including, without limitation, trade secrets used, developed or acquired by
Company in connection with its business. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, "Confidential Information" shall specifically include all information

contracts and other business arrangements. "Confidential Information" does not
include information that is in the public domain through no wrongful act on the
part of Executive.
3
ii. Executive's Use of Confidential Information. During the
period commencing on the Effective Date and continuing through the second
anniversary of the Effective Date, except in connection with his performance of
the consulting services contemplated by Section 5 of this Agreement, Executive

Executive shall not, at any time, directly or indirectly: (i) copy or use any
Confidential Record for any purpose; or (ii) show, give, sell, disclose or
otherwise communicate any Confidential Record or the contents of any
Confidential Record to any person or entity. On the Effective Date, Executive
shall immediately deliver to Company or its designee (and shall not keep in
Executive's possession or deliver to any other person or entity) all
Confidential Records and all other Company property in Executive's possession or
control. If any Confidential Information and/or Confidential Records are shared
with or disclosed to Executive during the Consulting Period, then such
Confidential Information and/or Confidential Records shall be governed by the
terms of this Section 7, and at the conclusion of the Consulting Period or upon
the Company's earlier request Executive shall immediately deliver to Company or
its designee (and shall not keep in Executive's possession or deliver to any
other person or entity) all Confidential Records then in Executive's possession
or control.
(c) Noninterference Covenants. For purposes of this Agreement,
"COMPETITIVE BUSINESS" shall mean any business that provides investment advisory
or investment management services, and "AFFILIATE" shall mean any corporation,
partnership, limited liability company, trust, or other entity which controls,
is controlled by or is under common control with the Company. During the period
commencing on the Effective Date and continuing through first anniversary of the
Effective Date, Executive shall not (nor shall Executive cause, encourage or
provide assistance to, anyone else to):
i. Interfere with any relationship which may exist from time
to time between the Company, or any Affiliate, and any of its employees,
consultants, agents or representatives; or
ii. Employ or otherwise engage, or attempt to employ or
otherwise engage, in or on behalf of any Competitive Business, any person who is

immediately preceding the Effective Date; or
4
iv. Directly or indirectly divert or attempt to divert from
the Company or any Affiliate any business in which the Company or any Affiliate
has been actively engaged during the term hereof or interfere with any
relationship between the Company, or any Affiliate, and any of its clients.
(d) If any court shall determine that the duration, geographic
limitations, subject or scope of any restriction contained in this Section 7 is
unenforceable, it is the intention of the Parties that this Section 7 shall not
thereby be terminated but shall be deemed amended to the extent required to make
it valid and enforceable, such amendment to apply only with respect to the
operation of this Section 7 in the jurisdiction of the court that has made the
adjudication.
(e) Executive acknowledges that the restrictive covenants of this
Section 7 are reasonable and that irreparable injury will result to the Company
and to its business and properties in the event of any breach by Executive of
any of those covenants. In the event any of the covenants of this Section 7 are
breached, the Company shall be entitled, in addition to any other remedies and
damages available, to injunctive relief to restrain the violation of such
covenants by Executive or by any person or persons acting for or with Executive
in any capacity whatsoever.
8. Acknowledgement Concerning Other Compensation. Executive acknowledges
that the payments and benefits referred to in this Agreement are in lieu of, and
in full satisfaction of, any other benefits or compensation of any kind to which
Executive was or could have been entitled in connection with his relationship
with and work for the Company and any Affiliate, whether under the Employment
Agreement, the Change of Control Agreement, the letter reflecting the terms and
conditions of Executive's leave of absence commencing on April 2, 2004, or
otherwise, except with respect to benefits fully vested as of the Effective Date
that Executive is entitled to receive under the Company's 401(k) Profit Sharing
and Employee Stock Ownership Plan, any other qualified and non-qualified pension
and deferred compensation plans, and any other plans in which Executive
participates, and any unpaid salary, 2003 bonus or accrued vacation,
reimbursement for any previously incurred expenses in accordance with the
Company's policies in effect on the date hereof. Without limiting the generality
of the foregoing, Executive acknowledges that he has received all compensation
to which he is entitled in connection with the leave of absence that he took
beginning as of April 2, 2004, and hereby waives any right to claim any further
compensation, on any basis, for or in connection with the leave.
9. Legal Release.
(a) Executive, on his own behalf and on behalf of his heirs,
personal representatives, executors, administrators and assigns, knowingly and
voluntarily releases and forever discharges the Company and its affiliates and
any of their respective parents, subsidiaries and affiliates, together with all
of their respective past and present directors, members, managers, officers,
shareholders, Trustees, partners, employees, agents, attorneys and servants, and
each of their affiliates, predecessors, successors and assigns (collectively,
the "COMPANY RELEASEES") from any and all claims, charges, complaints, promises,
agreements, controversies, liens, demands, causes of action, obligations,
damages and liabilities of any nature whatsoever, known or unknown, suspected or
unsuspected, that Executive or his heirs, executors, administrators, or assigns
ever had, now have, or may hereafter claim to have against any of the Company
Releasees by reason of any matter, cause or thing whatsoever from the beginning
of time through the date
5
hereof, whether or not previously asserted before any state or federal court,
agency or governmental entity or any arbitral body. This release includes,
without limitation, any rights or claims relating in any way to Executive's
employment relationship with the Company or any of the Company Releasees, or his
resignation therefrom, or arising under any statute or regulation, including
Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Civil Rights Act of 1991, Age
Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967 ("ADEA"), the Americans with
Disabilities Act of 1990, the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974,
and the Family Medical Leave Act of 1993, each as amended, or any other federal,
state or local law, regulation, ordinance, or common law, or under any policy,
agreement, understanding or promise, written or oral, formal or informal,
between Executive and the Company or any of the Company Releasees; provided,
however, that notwithstanding the foregoing or anything else contained in this
Agreement, the release set forth in this Section 9(a) shall not extend to: (i)
any rights arising under this Agreement or Section 10 of the Employment
Agreement; (ii) any rights arising under the LTI Plan and all agreements
pursuant to which Executive was awarded the stock and stock options referred to
in Section 4, above, the provisions of which are incorporated by this reference
to the extent not inconsistent with this Agreement; (iii) any benefits or claims
for benefits under any Welfare Benefit Plans accrued as of the date hereof; and
(iv) any rights arising under COBRA. Executive represents that he has not
commenced or joined in any claim, charge, action or proceeding whatsoever
against the Company or any of the Company Releasees arising out of or relating
to any of the matters released in this Section 9(a). Executive further agrees
that he will not seek or be entitled to any personal recovery in any claim,
charge, action or proceeding whatsoever against the Company or any of the
Company Releasees for any of the matters released in this Section 9(a).
(b) The Company, on its own behalf and on behalf of its current and
past parents, subsidiaries and affiliates and each of their predecessors,
successors and assigns, knowingly and voluntarily releases and forever
discharges Executive and his heirs, personal representatives, executors,
administrators and assigns, (collectively, the "EXECUTIVE RELEASEES") from any
and all claims, charges, complaints, promises, agreements, controversies, liens,
demands, causes of action, obligations, damages and liabilities of any nature
whatsoever, known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected, that the Company, its
current and past parents, subsidiaries and affiliates and each of their
predecessors, successors and assigns ever had, now have, or may hereafter claim
to have against any of the Executive Releasees by reason of any matter, cause or
thing whatsoever from the beginning of time through the date hereof, whether or
not previously asserted before any state or federal court, agency or
governmental entity or any arbitral body. This release includes, without
limitation, any rights or claims relating in any way to Executive's employment
relationship with the Company, or his separation therefrom, or arising under any
statute or regulation, or any other federal, state or local law, regulation,
ordinance, or common law, or under any policy, agreement, understanding or
promise, written or oral, formal or informal, between Executive and the Company;
provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing or anything else contained
in this Agreement, the release set forth in this paragraph 9(b) shall not extend
to: (i) any rights arising under this Agreement; (ii) any claim or claims
against Executive relating to or arising from any issue or matter that is the
subject matter of the regulatory investigations commenced in July 2003 and/or
ongoing related civil litigation; or (iii) any claim or claims that the Company
may have against Executive as of the Effective Date of which it is not aware as
of the Effective Date because of willful concealment by Executive. The Company,
on its own behalf and on behalf of its current and past parents and
subsidiaries, and each of their predecessors, successors and assigns, represents
that it has not commenced or joined in any claim,
6
charge, action or proceeding whatsoever against Executive arising out of or
relating to any of the matters released in this Section 9(b). The Company, on
its own behalf and on behalf of its current and past parents and subsidiaries,
and each of their predecessors, successors and assigns, further agrees that it
will not seek or be entitled to any personal recovery in any claim, charge,
action or proceeding whatsoever against Executive for any of the matters
released in this Section 9(b).
(c) In order to provide a full and complete release, each of the
Parties understands and agrees that this Agreement is intended to include all
claims, if any, covered under this Section 9 that such Party may have and not
now know or suspect to exist in his or its favor against any other Party and
that this Agreement extinguishes such claims. Thus, each of the Parties
expressly waives all rights under any statute or common law principle in any
jurisdiction that provides, in effect, that a general release does not extend to
claims which the releasing party does not know or suspect to exist in his favor
at the time of executing the release, which if known by him must have materially
affected his settlement with the party being released.
10. No Transfer of Rights or Claims. Each of the Parties represents and
warrants that it has not heretofore assigned or transferred, or purported to
assign or transfer, to any person or entity, any of the claims released herein
and agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the other Party against any claim,
demand, debt, obligation, liability, cost, expense, right of action or cause of
action based on, arising out of, or with regard to any such assignment or
transfer.
11. Nondisparagement Covenants.
(a) Executive covenants never to disparage the Company or any
Affiliate, or of any product or service of the Company or any Affiliate, or of
any past or present employee, officer or director of the Company or any
Affiliate, or of any member of any Board of Trustees of any entity affiliated
with the Company at any time during Executive's employment with the Company.
(b) The Company covenants that no officer or director of the
Company, and no member of the Company's Management Committee ("MC"), shall,
while employed by or while serving on the Board or MC, as the case may be,
disparage Executive. Without limiting the foregoing, the Company covenants that
no member of the Company's Board or MC shall, while employed by or while serving
on the Board or MC, as the case may be, suggest in any way that Executive's
separation from the Company was the result of disciplinary action against or
wrongdoing by Executive.
12. Additional Documents. Executive agrees that he shall do such acts, and
execute and deliver to the Company such additional documents or instruments not
inconsistent herewith, as may be reasonably required to effect the purposes of
this Agreement and shall cooperate fully with the Company to implement this
Agreement and any business transactions of the Company or any litigation that
may have arisen or arise in connection therewith.
13. Cooperation in Proceedings. The Company and Executive agree that they
shall fully cooperate with respect to any claim, litigation or judicial,
arbitral or investigative proceeding initiated by any private party or by any
regulator, governmental entity, or self-regulatory organization, that relates to
or arises from any matter with which Executive was involved during his
employment with the Company, or that concerns any matter of which Executive has
7
information or knowledge (collectively, a "PROCEEDING"). Executive's duty of
cooperation includes, but is not limited to: (i) meeting with the Company's
attorneys by telephone or in person at mutually convenient times and places in
order to state truthfully Executive's recollection of events; (ii) appearing at
the Company's request as a witness at depositions or trials, without the
necessity of a subpoena, in order to state truthfully Executive's knowledge of
matters at issue; and (iii) signing at the Company's request declarations or
affidavits that truthfully state matters of which Executive has knowledge. The
Company's duty of cooperation includes, but is not limited to providing
Executive and his counsel access to documents, information, witnesses and the
Company's legal counsel as is reasonably necessary to litigate on behalf of
Executive in any Proceeding. In addition, Executive agrees to notify the
Company's Chief Legal Officer promptly of any requests for information or
testimony that he receives in connection with any litigation or investigation
relating to the Company's business, and the Company agrees to notify Executive
of any requests for information or testimony that it receives relating to
Executive. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, this Agreement
shall not be construed or applied so as to require any Party to violate any
confidentiality agreement or understanding with any third party, nor shall it be
construed or applied so as to compel any Party to take any action, or omit to
take any action, requested or directed by any regulatory or law enforcement
authority.
14. Confidentiality.
(a) Executive and the Company recognize that the Company will file
this Agreement and the exhibits thereto as exhibits to public securities
filings, and may also disclose this Agreement and the exhibits thereto as may be
required by law or legal proceedings. The Parties mutually agree that they, and
each of them, will keep the circumstances underlying the negotiation and/or
drafting of this Agreement (collectively, the "CONFIDENTIAL SETTLEMENT
INFORMATION") strictly confidential, will not disclose any Confidential
Settlement Information in any way other than as provided herein, and will not
make any representation or other communication (orally or in writing) regarding
any Confidential Settlement Information to anyone, for any reason whatsoever,
without the express written consent of the other, unless the disclosure,
representation or communication: (i) is compelled by law; (ii) is to an attorney
and the attorneys' employees or agents and/or a financial advisor of Executive
and/or the Company and is necessary for the rendition of professional advice to
Executive or the Company (the restrictions stated in this Section 15 shall
automatically apply to the attorney and/or financial advisor of Executive or the
Company, which shall so advise the attorney and/or financial advisor); (iii) if
by Executive, is to Executive's immediate family (the restrictions stated in
this Section 15 shall automatically apply to the immediate family member and
Executive shall so advise the immediate family member); or (iv) if by the
Company, is to its employees, to any state or federal tribunal or regulatory
agency, to any insurer and/or, consistent with business necessity, to any other
person or entity. Executive and the Company shall not be entitled to make any
disclosure pursuant to subpart (i), above, unless he or it has first given the
other Party, through its counsel, written notice of, and a copy of, any subpoena
or other legal process purporting to require the disclosure of information
rendered confidential by this Section 15, as soon as practicable after Executive
or the Company receives such subpoena or other legal process.
(b) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, any Party
to this Agreement (and each employee, representative, or other agent of such
party) may disclose to any and all persons, without limitation of any kind, the
tax treatment and tax structure of the
8
transaction and all materials of any kind (including opinions and other tax
analyses) that are provided to the Party relating to such tax treatment and tax
structure, provided that, in connection with any such disclosure, all references
to the amounts paid pursuant to this Agreement, and other figures from which
such amounts may be estimated or calculated, shall be redacted.
(c) The Company and Executive may disclose any terms or conditions
of this Agreement as required or reasonably determined by each of them to be
necessary or appropriate in any civil, criminal and/or administrative
proceeding, or in discovery related to any such proceeding, in which case the
notice provisions of Section 15(a) above shall be applicable.
15. Disputes.
(a) Any dispute arising under or relating in any way to this
Agreement shall be submitted to arbitration in Denver, Colorado, or such other
venue as the Parties may mutually determine, in front of a single arbitrator who
is a member of the panel of former judges affiliated with the Judicial Arbiter
Group (the "JAG"), in accordance with the Employment Arbitration Rules of the
American Arbitration Association then in effect, as the exclusive remedy for
such dispute. Each Party shall submit a list of three names of proposed
arbitrators from the JAG panel. If the Parties cannot mutually agree on an
arbitrator from such lists, each Party shall strike two names from the other
Party's list, and the arbitrator shall then be chosen at random by the JAG from
the two remaining names. The Parties agree that such arbitration will be
confidential and that no details, descriptions, settlements, or other facts
concerning such arbitration shall be disclosed or released to any third party
without the specific written consent of the other Party, unless required by law
or in connection with enforcement of any decision in such arbitration. Any
damages awarded in such arbitration shall be limited to the contract measure of
damages, and shall not include punitive damages. The award of the arbitrator may
be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction.
(b) The Company agrees to pay as incurred (within 10 days following
the Company's receipt of an invoice from Executive), to the full extent
permitted by law, all legal fees and expenses that Executive may reasonably
incur as a result of any contest (regardless of the outcome thereof unless
Executive's claim is determined by a court to have been frivolous or made in bad
faith, in which case Executive shall make prompt reimbursement of such fees and
expenses to the extent already paid by the Company and received by Executive) by
the Company, Executive, or others of the validity or enforceability of, or
liability under, any provision of this Agreement or any guarantee of performance
thereof (including as a result of any contest by Executive about the amount of
any payment pursuant to this Agreement), plus, in each case, interest on any
delayed payment at the applicable federal rate provided for in Section
7872(f)(2)(A) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.
(c) The Company agrees to reimburse Executive for the costs and
expenses incurred by Executive in negotiating this Agreement and the further
agreements attached hereto.
16. Severability. It is the desire and intent of the Parties that the
provisions of this Agreement shall be enforced to the fullest extent permissible
under the laws and public policies applied in each jurisdiction in which
enforcement is sought. In the event that any one or more of the provisions or
parts thereof of this Agreement shall be held to be invalid, illegal or
9
unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remainder of
this Agreement shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby. Moreover,
if any one or more of the provisions or parts thereof contained in this
Agreement is held to be excessively broad as to duration, scope, activity or
subject, such provisions shall be construed by limiting and reducing them so as
to be enforceable to the maximum extent allowed by applicable law.
17. Entire Agreement. This Agreement sets forth the entire agreement and
understanding of the Parties regarding the subject matter hereof and may not be
modified without the express written consent of the Parties. Except as provided
by Section 29, this Agreement supersedes all prior discussions, agreements,
arrangements, understandings and negotiations, written or oral, between the
Parties regarding the subject matter hereof.
18. Notices. Any notice required or permitted under this Agreement shall
be given in writing and shall be deemed effectively given upon the earliest of
personal delivery, actual receipt or the third (3rd) full business day following
deposit in the United States mail with postage and fees prepaid, addressed to

of its terms, provisions or covenants shall not be construed as a waiver of the
same or of the right of such Party to enforce the same. Waiver by either Party
hereto of any breach or default by the other Party of any term or provision of
this Agreement shall not operate as a waiver of any other breach or default.
20. Governing Law. This Agreement and all rights, duties and remedies
hereunder shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the

shall inure to the benefit of, the Parties and their respective heirs,
administrators, representatives, executors, successors and assigns.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Executive shall not assign any of his rights or
delegate any of his obligations under this Agreement without obtaining the prior
express written consent of the Company. The Company shall require any successor
(whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise) to
all or substantially all of the business and/or assets of the Company to assume
expressly and agree to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same
extent that the Company would be required to perform it if no such succession
had taken place.

bind itself or himself to this Agreement.
23. Tax Withholdings. The Company may withhold from any amount payable to
Executive under this Agreement such Federal, state, local or foreign taxes as
shall be required to be withheld pursuant to any applicable law or regulation.
24. Nonreliance. Each Party understands and agrees that he or it assumes
all risk that the facts or law may be, or become, different than the facts or
law as believed by the Party at the time he or it executes this Agreement. The
Parties acknowledge that the character of their relationship as of the Effective
Date precludes any affirmative obligation of disclosure, and expressly disclaim
all reliance upon information supplied or concealed by the adverse Party or its
counsel in connection with the negotiation and/or execution of this Agreement.
25. Construction. The parties acknowledge that they and their respective
counsel have reviewed this Agreement in its entirety and have had a full and
fair opportunity to negotiate its terms. Each Party therefore waives all
applicable rules of construction that any provision of this Agreement should be
construed against its drafter, and agrees that all provisions of the Agreement
shall be construed as a whole, according to the fair meaning of the language
used.
26. Burden of Proof. Any Party contesting the validity or enforceability
of any term of this Agreement shall be required to prove by clear and convincing
evidence fraud, concealment, failure to disclose material information,
unconscionability, misrepresentation or mistake of fact or law.
27. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more
counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original but all of which
together shall constitute one and the same instrument.
28. Prior Agreements. This Agreement supercedes the Change of Control
Agreement (as amended) and the Employment Agreement (as amended), which
therefore shall be of no further force or effect except to the extent expressly
incorporated by reference herein. Notwithstanding any other provision of this
Agreement, the Company's obligations under Section 10 of the Employment
Agreement (as amended) shall survive the execution of this Agreement and shall
thereafter remain enforceable according to their terms.
29. Acknowledgement The Parties acknowledge that they have each read this
Agreement and understand its terms. By signing this Agreement, the Parties
acknowledge and
11
agree that they enter into this Agreement knowingly, voluntarily and without
coercion, that they have had sufficient opportunity to consult with legal
counsel of their choice, and that they do not rely, and have not relied, on any
fact, representation, statement or assumption other than as specifically set

JANUS CAPITAL GROUP INC.
DEFERRED COMPENSATION AGREEMENT
FOR
XXXX X. XXXXXXXXX
This Janus Capital Group Inc. Deferred Compensation Agreement for Xxxx X.
Xxxxxxxxx (this "AGREEMENT"), by and between Janus Capital Group Inc., a
Delaware corporation (the "COMPANY"), and Xxxx X. Xxxxxxxxx ("EXECUTIVE"), is
hereby approved and entered into effective as of the effective date of the
Separation Agreement (the "SEPARATION AGREEMENT") by and between the Company and
Executive to which this Agreement is an exhibit (the "EFFECTIVE DATE").
A. WHEREAS, the Company and Executive have negotiated the terms of
Executive's resignation from employment in the Separation Agreement; and
B. WHEREAS, a portion of the consideration for resignation takes the form
of a credit to a deferred compensation arrangement, the payment of which is
subject to certain conditions precedent.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises and covenants
contained herein, and in the Separation Agreement, and other good and valuable
consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the
Company and Executive hereby agree as follows:
1. Executive's Deferred Compensation Account.
As of the Effective Date, the Company shall establish in its books
and records a deferred compensation account with respect to Executive (the
"ACCOUNT"). The initial balance in said Account as of the Effective Date shall
be $1,000,000. Following such date, amounts shall be credited to the Account
only in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. Such Account shall be
maintained and administered in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement,
and if the Account becomes payable under the terms of this Agreement, the
Company shall make a payment to Executive based on the balance reflected in the
Account at such time and in the manner provided under the terms of this
Agreement.
2. Forfeiture of Account.
(a) If, at any time before the Payment Commencement Date (defined in
Section 4, below), Executive is found by a final, unappealable judgment or court
or administrative order to have violated any law based upon his acts or
omissions in connection with his employment by the Company, or if Executive
pleads guilty or no contest to, or admits any such misconduct, or if Executive
consents or confesses to entry of a cease and desist,
injunctive or similar court or administrative order arising from or relating to
an alleged violation of law based upon his acts or omissions in connection with
his employment by the Company and that results in Executive being barred or
suspended from association with an investment advisor, and/or paying any fine,
restitution and/or disgorgement, then Executive immediately shall forfeit the
Account in its entirety, and the bookkeeping entry representing the Account
shall be reversed to zero.
(b) If, at any time on or after the Payment Commencement Date
(defined in Section 4, below), Executive is found by a final, unappealable
judgment or court or administrative order to have violated any law based upon
his acts or omissions in connection with his employment by the Company, or if
Executive pleads guilty or no contest to, or admits any such misconduct, or if
Executive consents or confesses to entry of a cease and desist, injunctive or
similar court or administrative order arising from or relating to an alleged
violation of law based upon his acts or omissions in connection with his
employment by the Company and that results in Executive being barred or
suspended from association with an investment advisor and/or paying any fine,
restitution and/or disgorgement, then Executive shall promptly refund to the
Company 100% of the amount of the Account previously paid to Executive and
Executive immediately shall forfeit the remaining balance in the Account and the
bookkeeping entry representing the remaining balance in the Account shall be
reversed to zero.
(c) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or the
Separation Agreement, in any action or arbitration in which the Company seeks to
collect sums from Executive that are payable or claimed to be payable under
Section 2(a) of this Agreement, the party substantially prevailing therein shall
recover its costs and expenses in connection with that action or arbitration,
including reasonable attorneys' fees.
3. Investment Performance.
(a) Except as otherwise provided herein, the amounts credited to the
Account shall be deemed to be invested in one or more of the investment
alternatives specified in Exhibit A attached hereto or any other investment
alternatives that are offered by the Company as investment alternatives under
its deferred compensation plans for its officers or members of its Board of
Directors (each an "INVESTMENT FUND"). The proportions in which the total
balance credited to the Account are to be allocated from time to time among the
Investment Funds shall be as specified pursuant to a written deferred
compensation investment election ("INVESTMENT ELECTION") made by Executive.
Executive may change his then current Investment Election from time to time by
delivering to the Company a new Investment Election to supercede Executive's
most recent Investment Election, provided, however, in no event shall Executive
make changes to his Investment Election more than twice (2) per calendar year.
Once a valid Investment Election is delivered to the Company by Executive, such
Investment Election shall remain in effect until it is changed by Executive by
the delivery to the Company of a valid Investment Election which supercedes
Executive's prior Investment Election. Each Investment Election shall be in a
form as approved by the Company from time to time and shall be delivered by
Executive to the Company's Assistant General Counsel or Controller ("COMPANY
REPRESENTATIVE") not less than three business days prior to the effective date
as of which the deemed investments in the Investment Funds are to be deemed made
or changed, as applicable. If Executive fails to file an effective Investment
Election prior to the crediting of any amounts to
2
the Account, then the balance in the Account shall be deemed to be invested in
an Investment Fund that is the Janus Money Market Fund until such time (if at
all) that Executive delivers to the Company a valid Investment Election. The
Company shall periodically, but not less frequently than annually, provide
Executive with a statement showing the value of and adjustment to the Account
and the allocation of such value and adjustments among the Investment Funds. The
Company shall also seasonably respond to reasonable requests by Executive for
updated information concerning the value of and adjustments to the Account, and
the allocation of such value and adjustments among the Investment Funds.
(b) Following the initial crediting of a cash amount to the Account
as provided in Section 1, and provided Executive has delivered a valid
Investment Election to Company, the balance in Executive's Account shall be
adjusted at such periodic intervals as deemed appropriate by Company, but not
less frequently than as of the end of each month, to reflect a net appreciation
or a net depreciation (as applicable) of the balance credited to the Account
identical to the net appreciation or net depreciation (as applicable), that
would have accrued if such balance had been invested in Investment Funds as
specified by Executive in his Investment Election(s) as in effect from time to
time. Executive hereby acknowledges and agrees that (i) his Account balance
shall be reduced to reflect any net depreciation accruing from time to time
based on the investment allocation of the Account balance in accordance with
Executive's Investment Election(s) in effect from time to time, (ii) Executive
is solely responsible for any net appreciation or net depreciation in the
balance of his Account resulting from Executive's Investment Elections, and
(iii) Company does not guarantee or represent in any manner whatsoever that
Executive will realize any appreciation in the balance of the Account as a
result of allocating the Account balance for deemed investment in the Investment
Funds. Executive further agrees and acknowledges that he is under no obligation
to make an Investment Election and, if no such Investment Election is made, that
the balance in the Account shall be carried forward unaffected by the investment
performance of the Investment Funds
(c) The Company shall not be obligated to actually invest any
amounts credited to the Account in any Investment Funds as specified by
Executive in any Investment Election or to set aside, escrow or otherwise
segregate or invest any amounts credited to Executive's Account, except to the
extent provided in the trust agreement (the "TRUST AGREEMENT") in the form
attached to the Separation Agreement as Exhibit B. The parties agree and
understand that the Company's only obligation shall be to pay to Executive, at
such time as the balance in the Account becomes payable as provided hereunder,
the cash value of the Account calculated as if the Company had at all times
invested amounts credited to the Account as specified by Executive in the valid
Investment Election(s) he delivers to Company, or, if no such valid Investment
Election is made, the cash amounts credited to the Account as provided under
Section 3(a) hereof.
4. Payment of Account Balance.
(a) Executive's "PAYMENT COMMENCEMENT DATE" is the earliest of: (i)
the date on which Executive attains age 50; (ii) the date of Executive's death;
(iii) if, following the Effective Date, Executive is rendered Totally and
Permanently Disabled (as defined in Section 9(a), below), then the earlier of
the date on which Executive attains age 50 or the third anniversary of the date
on which Executive became Totally and Permanently Disabled; or (iv) if,
3
following the Effective Date, the Company experiences a Change of Control (as
defined in Section 9(a), below), then the earlier of the date on which Executive
attains age 50 or the third anniversary of the Change of Control.
(b) Unless Executive has forfeited the Account as of the Payment
Commencement Date in accordance with Section 2(a), on the Payment Commencement
Date the Company shall pay the Account to Executive (or his beneficiaries in the
event of his death) in a lump sum, unless Executive shall have elected at least
one year prior to the Payment Commencement Date to have the Account paid on a
different date or in installments, in which case payment of the Account shall be
made on the date or dates specified in any such election.
5. Executive as Unsecured Creditor. This Agreement shall create a
contractual obligation on the part of Company to make payment of the balance in
the Account at the time provided for hereinabove. Neither Executive nor any
other party claiming an interest in deferred compensation hereunder shall have
any interest whatsoever in any specific assets of Company except to the extent
provided otherwise in the Trust Agreement. To the extent Executive or any other
party acquires a right to receive payments hereunder, such right shall be that
of an unsecured general creditor of Company. Nothing in this Agreement shall be
deemed to create a trust of any kind or a fiduciary relationship between Company
and Executive.
6. Designation of Beneficiary. Executive shall designate a beneficiary or
beneficiaries who, upon Executive's death, will receive payment of the Account
balance that otherwise would have been paid to Executive under this Agreement.
All beneficiary designations shall be signed by Executive and shall be in such
form as prescribed by the Company. Each designation shall be effective as of the
date delivered to the Company Representative prior to Executive's death. In the
event that all the beneficiaries named by Executive pursuant to this Section 6
predecease Executive, the Account balance that would have been paid to Executive
or Executive's beneficiaries shall be paid to Executive's estate. In the event
Executive does not designate a beneficiary, or for any reason such designation
is ineffective, in whole or in part, the Account balance that otherwise would
have been paid to Executive or Executive's beneficiaries under this Agreement
shall be paid to Executive's estate. Any such payment to Executive's designated
beneficiaries or to Executive's estate shall be made as of the applicable
payment date as specified in accordance with Section 3.
7. Payment Rights Not Transferable. The rights and interests of Executive
and any beneficiary of Executive under this Agreement may not be sold, pledged,
hypothecated, assigned or transferred in any manner, either voluntarily or
involuntarily by operation of law, other than by Executive pursuant to a
beneficiary designation in accordance with the provisions of Section 6.
8. Miscellaneous.
(a) Definitions:
i. For Purposes of this Agreement, "CHANGE OF CONTROL" shall
have the same meaning as set forth in the Change of Control Agreement between
Executive and the Company dated as of February 10, 2003.
4
ii. For purposes of this Agreement, "TOTALLY AND PERMANENTLY
DISABLED" shall mean that a qualified physician selected by Executive with the
Company's consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld) has determined
and certified in writing that Executive suffers from an impairment of mind or
body as a result of which it will be impossible for Executive to perform the
essential functions of an executive position in the sales, distribution, and/or
operations function of a mutual fund company , and which impairment is
reasonably certain to continue for the remainder of Executive's life.
(b) This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance
with the laws of the State of Delaware without reference to principles of
conflict of laws.
(b) Unless otherwise expressly specified, references herein to a
"Section" is to a Section of this Agreement. The captions of this Agreement are
not part of the provisions hereof and shall have no force or effect.
(c) This Agreement may not be amended or modified otherwise than by
a written agreement executed by the parties hereto or their respective
successors and legal representatives.
(d) All notices and other communications hereunder shall be in
writing and shall be given by hand delivery to the other party or by registered

and its successors and assignees, and upon Executive and his executors,

JANUS CAPITAL GROUP INC.
DEFERRED COMPENSATION TRUST AGREEMENT
THIS AGREEMENT is made this ___ day of ______________, 2004 by and between
Janus Capital Group Inc. as a Corporation organized under the laws of Delaware
(the "Company") and Xxxxx Fargo Bank, N.A,, a national banking association, as
trustee (the "Trustee").
RECITALS
WHEREAS, the Company entered into the Janus Capital Group Inc. Deferred
Compensation Agreement for Xxxx X. Xxxxxxxxx ("Participant") which is an
unfunded executive benefit arrangement providing deferred compensation benefits
to Participant (the "Agreement"); and
WHEREAS, the Company has incurred or expects to incur liability under the
terms of the Agreement with respect to the Participant; and
WHEREAS, the Company wishes to establish a trust (the "Trust") and to
contribute to the Trust assets that shall be held therein, subject to the claims
of the Company's creditors in the event of the Company's insolvency, as herein
defined, until paid to the Participant and his beneficiaries in such manner and
at such times as specified in the Agreement or paid to the Company in accordance
herewith; and
WHEREAS, it is the intention of the parties that the Trust shall
constitute an unfunded arrangement and shall not affect the status of the
Agreement as an unfunded plan maintained for the purpose of providing deferred
compensation for an individual who is a member of a select group of management
or highly compensated employees according to Title I of the Employee Retirement
Income Security Act of 1974 as amended; and
WHEREAS, it is the intention of the Company to make contributions to the
Trust to provide a source of funds to assist it in the meeting of its
liabilities under the Agreement.
NOW, THEREFORE, the parties do hereby establish the Trust and agree that
the Trust shall be comprised, held and disposed of as follows:
SECTION 1. ESTABLISHMENT OF TRUST
(a) The Company hereby deposits with the Trustee in trust $1,000,000,
which shall become the principal of the Trust to be held, administered and
disposed of by the Trustee as provided in this Trust Agreement. The Company
shall have the right to make additional deposits from time to time in its sole
discretion.
(b) The Trust hereby established shall be irrevocable.
(c) The Trust is intended to be a grantor trust, of which the Company is
the grantor, within the meaning of Subpart E, part I, subchapter J, chapter I,
subtitle A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Internal
Revenue Code"), and shall be construed accordingly.
(d) The Participant and his beneficiaries shall have no preferred claim
on, or any beneficial ownership interest in, any assets of the Trust. Any rights
created under the Agreement and this Trust Agreement shall be mere unsecured
contractual rights of the Participant and his beneficiaries against the Company.
Any assets held by the Trust will be subject to the claims of the Company's
general creditors under federal and state law in the event of Insolvency, as
defined in Section 3(a) herein.
(e) The Trustee agrees to accept additional deposits made by the Company
pursuant to Section 1(a) hereof, and contributions that are paid to it by the
Company in accordance with the terms of this Trust Agreement. Such additional
deposits and contributions shall be in cash or in such other form that may be
acceptable to the Trustee, including but not limited to policies of life
insurance. The Trustee shall have no duty to determine or collect contributions
under the Agreement and shall have no responsibility for any property until it
is received and accepted by the Trustee. The Company shall have the sole duty
and responsibility for the determination of the accuracy and sufficiency of the
deposits and contributions to be made under the Agreement, the transmittal of
the same to the Trustee and compliance with any statute, regulation or rule
applicable to contributions.
SECTION 2. PAYMENTS TO PARTICIPANT AND HIS BENEFICIARIES
(a) From time to time, the Company may deliver to the Trustee a schedule
(the "Payment Schedule") that indicates the amounts payable in respect of the
Participant (and his beneficiaries), that provides a formula or other
instructions for determining the amounts payable, the form in which such amounts
are to be paid (as provided for or available under the Agreement), and the time
of commencement for payment of such amounts. Except as otherwise provided
herein, the Trustee shall make payments to the Participant and his beneficiaries
in accordance with such Payment Schedule, or the Trustee may remit such payments
to the Company and the Company shall make such payments to the Participant or
his beneficiaries. The Trustee shall make provision for the reporting and
withholding of any federal and state (other than FICA, FUTA or local taxes) that
may be required to be withheld with respect to the payment of benefits pursuant
to the terms of the Payment Schedule and shall pay amounts withheld to the
appropriate taxing authorities or determine that such amount have been reported,
withheld and paid by the Company. It will be the responsibility of the Company
to report,
2
withhold and remit FICA, FUTA and local taxes to the appropriate taxing
authorities; provided, however, that the Company may withdraw the amount of any
such taxes required to be withheld on behalf of the Participant from the Trust
for remittance to the appropriate taxing authority. If the principal of the
Trust, and any earnings thereon, are not sufficient to make payments of benefits
in accordance with the terms of the Payment Schedule, the Company shall make the
balance of each such payment as it falls due. The Trustee shall notify the
Company where principal and earnings are not sufficient.
(b) Upon the receipt by the Trustee of (i) a written notice from the
Company, indicating that the Agreement has been completely terminated and (ii) a
Payment Schedule, indicating how payments shall be made as a result of the
termination of the Agreement, the Trustee shall pay to the Participant his
account balance under the Agreement in accordance with the terms of such Payment
Schedule. Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon the termination of the Agreement
the Company shall be entitled to make payment of benefits directly to the
Participant or his beneficiaries in accordance with subsection (f) below.
(c) The Company hereby agrees that the Authorized Party (as defined below)
shall have the exclusive responsibility, and the Trustee shall not have any
responsibility or duty under this Trust Agreement for determining that the
Payment Schedule is in accordance with the terms of the Agreement and applicable
law, including without limitation, the amount, timing or method of payment and
the identity of each person to whom such payments shall be made. The Trustee
shall have no responsibility or duty to determine the tax effect of any payment
or to see to the application of any payment.
(d) The entitlement of the Participant or his beneficiaries to the
benefits under the Agreement shall be determined by the Company or such party as
it shall designate under the Agreement, and any claim for such benefits shall be
considered and reviewed under the procedures set out in the Agreement.
(e) The Company may make payment of benefits directly to the Participant
or his beneficiaries as they become due under the terms of the Agreement. The
Company shall notify the Trustee of its decision to make payment of benefits
directly to Participant or his beneficiaries. If the Company makes payments
according to this subsection the Company shall make provision for the reporting
and withholding of any federal, state or local taxes that may be required to be
withheld with respect to the payment of benefits pursuant to the terms of the
Agreement and shall pay amounts withheld to the appropriate taxing authorities.
(f) The Company shall furnish the Trustee with a written list of the
names, signatures and extent of authority of all persons authorized to direct
Trustee and otherwise act on behalf of the Company and the Participant under the
terms of this Trust Agreement ("Authorized Party"). The Trustee shall be
entitled to rely on and shall be fully protected in acting upon direction from
an Authorized Party until notified in writing by the Company, as appropriate, of
a change of the identity of an Authorized Party.
(g) In accordance with the procedures mutually acceptable to the Company
and Trustee, all directions and instructions to the Trustee from an Authorized
Party, including but not
3
limited to the Payment Schedule, shall be in writing, transmitted by mail or by
facsimile or shall be an electronic transmission ("Authorized Instructions").
SECTION 3. TRUSTEE RESPONSIBILITY REGARDING PAYMENT TO TRUST BENEFICIARY
WHEN COMPANY IS INSOLVENT
(a) The Trustee shall cease payment of benefits to the Participant and his
beneficiaries if it receives notice that the Company is Insolvent. The Company
shall be considered "Insolvent" for purposes of this Trust Agreement if (i) the
Company is unable to pay its debts as they become due, or (ii) the Company is
subject to a pending proceeding as a debtor under the United States Bankruptcy
Code.
(b) At all times during the continuance of this Trust, as provided in
Section 1(d) hereof, the principal and income of the Trust shall be subject to
claims of general creditors of the Company under federal and state law as set
forth below.
(1) The Board of Directors and the Chief Executive Officer of the
Company shall have the duty to inform the Trustee in writing of the Company's
Insolvency. If a person claiming to be a creditor of the Company alleges in
writing to the Trustee that the Company has become Insolvent, the Trustee shall
determine whether the Company is Insolvent and, pending such determination, the
Trustee may discontinue payment of benefits to the Participant or his
beneficiaries.
(2) Unless the Trustee has actual knowledge of the Company's
Insolvency, or has received notice from the Company or a person claiming to be a
creditor alleging that the Company is Insolvent, the Trustee shall have no duty
to inquire whether the Company is Insolvent. The Trustee may in all events rely
on such evidence concerning the Company's solvency as may be furnished to the
Trustee and that provides the Trustee with a reasonable basis for making a
determination concerning the Company's solvency.
(3) If at any time the Trustee has determined that the Company is
Insolvent, the Trustee shall discontinue payments of benefits to the Participant
and his beneficiaries and shall hold the assets of the Trust for the benefit of
the Company's general creditors. Nothing in this Trust Agreement shall in any
way diminish any rights of the Participant or his beneficiaries to pursue their
rights as general creditors of the Company with respect to benefits due under
the Agreement or otherwise.
(4) The Trustee shall resume the payment of benefits to the
Participant or his beneficiaries in accordance with Section 2 of this Trust
Agreement only after the Trustee has determined that the Company is not
Insolvent (or is no longer Insolvent). The Trustee may rely on evidence
concerning Insolvency as may be furnished to the Trustee and that provides the
Trustee with a reasonable basis for making a determination concerning
Insolvency. If there is a dispute about Insolvency, the Trustee shall have the
right to require the Company to employ and pay for the services of an
independent expert to render a written opinion to the Trustee addressing the
question of Insolvency.
(c) Provided that there are sufficient assets, if the Trustee discontinues
the payment of benefits from the Trust pursuant to Section 3(a) and (b) hereof
and subsequently resumes such
4
payments, the first payment following such discontinuance shall include the
aggregate amount of all payments due to the Participant or his beneficiaries
according to the terms of the Agreement for the period of such discontinuance,
less the aggregate amount of any payments made to Participant or his
beneficiaries by the Company in lieu of the payments provided for hereunder
during any such period of discontinuance. The Trustee may require a new Payment
Schedule from the Company in such event.
SECTION 4. PAYMENTS TO COMPANY
(a) Except as provided in Sections 3 and in this Section 4 (b) or this
Section 4(c), because the Trust is irrevocable, in accordance with Section 1(b)
hereof, the Company shall not have the right or the power to direct the Trustee
to return to the Company or to divert to others any of the Trust assets before
all payment of benefits have been made to Participant or his beneficiaries
pursuant to the terms of the Agreement.
(b) In the event the Company makes payment of benefits directly pursuant
to Section 2 (e) hereof, the Company may file proof of such payment with the
Trustee and request to be reimbursed for said payment. The Trustee shall
reimburse the Company for amounts not exceeding the Company's costs of making
Agreement payments. The Trustee shall not be obligated to verify the amount of
payment beyond receipt of reasonable proof (e.g. cancelled check).
(c) In the event the Board of Directors of the Company certifies to the
Trustee that Executive has forfeited all right to payment under the Agreement,
the Company may file proof of forfeiture with the Trustee and request full
repayment of all Trust assets, thereby terminating the Trust. The Trustee shall
make such payment to the Company. The Trustee shall not be obligated to verify
the forfeiture beyond receipt of reasonable proof provided by the Company.
SECTION 5. INVESTMENT AUTHORITY
(a) The Trustee shall invest and reinvest the principal and income of the
Trust as directed by Company or an Investment Manager (the appointment of whom
shall be communicated in writing to the Trustee) which directions may be changed
from time to time. To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Trustee shall
have no duty or responsibility (i) to advise with respect to, or inquire as to
the propriety of, any such investment direction or (ii) for any investment
decisions made with respect to the Trust by the Company. In the absence of
investment direction, the Trustee shall have no obligation to invest Trust
assets, but may invest Trust assets in any manner permitted under Section 5(c).
(b) In no event may the Trustee invest in securities (including stock or
rights to acquire stock) or obligations issued by the Company, other than a de
minimis amount held in common investment vehicles in which Trustee invests. All
rights associated with assets of the Trust shall be exercised by the Trustee and
shall in no event be exercised by or rest with the Participant, except that
voting, tendering or exercising rights with respect to Trust assets will be
exercised by the Company, unless an Investment Manager has been appointed
pursuant to Section 5(a) and voting authority has been delegated to such
investment adviser.
5
(c) In administering the Trust and carrying out the instructions of the
Company in accordance with Section 5(a) above, the Trustee shall be specifically
authorized to:
(1) To invest and reinvest the Trust assets, together with the
income therefrom, in common stock, preferred stock, convertible preferred stock,
bonds, debentures, convertible debentures and bonds, mortgages, notes,
commercial paper and other evidences of indebtedness (including those issued by
the Trustee), shares of mutual funds, guaranteed investment contracts, bank
investment contracts, other securities, policies of life insurance, other
insurance contracts, annuity contracts, options, options to buy or sell
securities or other assets, and all other property of any type (personal, real
or mixed, and tangible or intangible);
(2) To deposit or invest all or any part of the assets of the Trust
in savings accounts or certificates of deposit or other deposits in a bank or
savings and loan association or other depository institution, provided such
deposits bear a reasonable interest rate;
(3) To submit or cause to be submitted to the Company, all
information received by the Trustee regarding ownership rights pertaining to
property held in the Trust;
(4) To hold, manage, improve, repair and control all property, real
or personal, forming part of the Trust; to sell, convey, transfer, exchange,
partition, lease for any term, even extending beyond the duration of this Trust,
and otherwise dispose of the same from time to time;
(5) To make, execute and deliver any and all documents, agreements
or other instruments in writing as are necessary or desirable for the
accomplishment of any of the powers and duties set forth in this Trust
Agreement;
(6) To hold in cash, without liability for interest, such portion of
the Trust as is pending investment, or payment of expenses, or the distribution
of benefits, notwithstanding that the Trustee or an affiliate of the Trustee may
benefit directly or indirectly from such uninvested amounts; it is acknowledged
that the Trustee's handling of uninvestedamounts is consistent with usual and
customary banking and fiduciary practices, and any earnings realized by the

Party's good faith execution of its duties with respect to the Trust, including,

proceeding to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of
the Trustee, the Trustee shall promptly on request thereafter return to the
Company any amount previously received by the Trustee under this Section 9(b)
with respect to such loss, claim, liability or expense. If the Company does not
pay such costs, expenses and liabilities in a reasonably timely manner, the

takes pursuant to a direction, request or approval given by an Authorized Party

assign the policy (as distinct from conversion of the policy to a different
form) other than to a successor trustee, or to loan to any person the proceeds
of any borrowing against such policy.

gains therefrom, within the meaning of section 301.7701-2 of the Procedure and
Administrative Regulations promulgated pursuant to the Internal Revenue Code.
(h) The Trustee shall not be liable for any expense, loss, claim or damage

(partial or complete) of electrical power or external computer (hardware or

fully and finally adjudicated by a court of competent jurisdiction or the
Trustee has resolved any such doubts to its good faith satisfaction; or (ii) all
disputes have been resolved between the persons involved and the Trustee has
received written notice thereof satisfactory to it from all such persons.

election interplead the subject matter of this Trust Agreement with a court of
competent jurisdiction, or commence judicial proceedings for a declaratory
judgment, and the Trustee shall be entitled to recover from the Company or the
Trust, both collectively and individually, the Trustee's attorneys' fees,
expenses and costs in connection with any such interpleader or declaratory
judgment action

foreign exchange or of contracts for foreign exchange, or in the event that the

for the Trust shall be security therefor and the Trustee shall be entitled to
collect from the Company or, if not paid, from the Trust sufficient cash for
reimbursement of such taxes, interest, charges, expenses, assessments or other
liabilities. If cash is insufficient, the trustee may dispose of the assets of
the Trust to the extent necessary to obtain the aforesaid reimbursement. To the
extent the Trustee advances funds to the Trust for disbursements or to effect
the settlement of purchase transactions, the Trustee shall be entitled to
collect from the Company or, if not so paid, from the Trust either (i) with

appoint any third party, such as a bank trust department or other entity that
may be granted corporate trustee powers under state law, as a successor to
replace the Trustee upon resignation or removal. The appointment shall be
effective when accepted in writing by the new trustee, who shall have all of the
rights and powers of the former trustee, including ownership rights in the Trust
assets. The former trustee shall execute any instrument necessary or reasonably
requested by the Company or the successor trustee to evidence the transfer.
(b) The successor trustee need not examine the records and acts of any
prior trustee and may retain or dispose of existing Trust assets, subject to
Sections 8 and 9 hereof. The successor trustee shall not be responsible for and
the Company shall indemnify and defend the successor trustee from any claim or
liability resulting from any action or inaction of any prior trustee or from any
other past event, or any condition existing at the time it becomes successor
trustee.

payment of benefits pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, the Company may

remaining provisions hereof.
