of the Independent Fiduciary, may also voluntarily disclose to the DOL such
matters relating to the Plan as the Company may consider appropriate for
disclosure, in which case (i) the Independent Fiduciary shall have the right to
attend and participate in all discussions and negotiations between the Company
and the DOL relating to the Plan and (ii) the Company agrees that it will not
enter into any settlement with the DOL without the consent and approval of the
Independent Fiduciary, which shall not be unreasonably withheld.
13.02. PLAN RELATED CLAIMS. If after the Effective Date, a Plan Related
Claim is asserted against the Company or any other TMI Indemnified Party, the
Company shall give the Independent Fiduciary written notice of the asserted
claim (a "Section 13.02 Notice"). Upon its receipt of a Section 13.02 Notice,
the Independent Fiduciary shall notify the Company in writing that the
Independent Fiduciary either (i) approves of the payment of the Plan Related
Claim described in the Section 13.02 Notice or (ii) objects to the payment of
such Plan Related Claim. If by such notice the Independent Fiduciary approves
the payment of the Plan Related Claim, then the Company and the Independent
Fiduciary shall jointly instruct the Escrow Agent in writing to pay the Plan
Related Claim from the Escrow Fund. If by such notice the Independent Fiduciary
objects to the payment of the Plan Related Claim, then:

To the extent not in contravention of his fiduciary duties to the Plan
Participants, the Independent Fiduciary shall not authorize the Trustee to make
distributions to those Plan Participants who become eligible for distributions
in accordance with the terms of the Plan Documents until all Plan Related Claims
have been fully and finally resolved.
13.03. PAYMENTS FROM ESCROW FUND. The Company and the Independent
Fiduciary agree that there shall be paid from the Escrow Fund, and that they
shall jointly and timely instruct the Escrow Agent to pay from the Escrow Fund:
(i) all costs and expenses, including legal, accounting and other
professional fees incurred by the Company, any other TMI Indemnified
Party, or the Independent Fiduciary in connection with (a) the CAP
Proceedings and (b) the defense, negotiation, compromise or settlement
of any Plan Related Claim;
(ii) all amounts required to be paid by the Company under any
Closing Agreement or other agreement entered into between the Company
and the IRS or the DOL in accordance with the provisions of Section
13.01;
(iii) all amounts required to be paid by the Company in
connection with any settlement of a Plan Related Claim made in
accordance with the provisions of Section 13.02;

rendered against the Company in respect of any Plan Related Claims; and
(v) all amounts with respect to which the Independent Fiduciary
is entitled to be indemnified by TMI under the terms of the Fiduciary
Engagement Letter.
All amounts required to be paid from the Escrow Fund shall be paid out
of the cash included in the Escrow Fund for as long as the cash is sufficient
for that purpose. Once all cash included in the Escrow Fund is paid or
distributed by the Escrow Agent, then in each instance thereafter when a payment
is required to be made from the Escrow Fund, (i) TMI shall make such payment and
(ii) TMI and the Independent Fiduciary shall instruct the Escrow Agent to
deliver to TMI a number of Escrowed Shares equal to (a) the amount so paid by
TMI divided by (b) $14.

they are held by the Escrow Agent under the Escrow Agreement.
13.05. DURATION OF ESCROW AGREEMENT. The Escrow Agreement shall remain
in effect until the earliest to occur of (i) the first date upon which all
property held in the Escrow Fund shall have been distributed by the Escrow Agent
in accordance with the terms of this Article XIII and Article IV and (ii) the
