BENEFIT PROTECTION TRUST AGREEMENT
SECOND DECLARATION OF AMENDMENT
Pursuant to the retained power of amendment contained in Section 9.1 of the Ceridian Corporation Benefit Protection Trust Agreement (the “Trust Agreement”), the undersigned hereby amend the Trust Agreement in the manner described below.
1. | Section 1.4 of the Trust Agreement is amended by redesignating Sections 1.4(e) through 1.4(p) as Sections 1.4(f) through 1.4(q) and by adding a new Subsection (e), which reads as follows: |
(e) “Company” means New Ceridian Corporation, renamed Ceridian Corporation after the New Ceridian Spin-off (as defined in Section 1.7 of this Trust Agreement).
2. | A new Section 1.7 is added to the Trust Agreement which reads as follows: |
1.7 NEW CERIDIAN SPIN-OFF. This Trust Agreement was made and entered into as of December 1, 1994 between Ceridian Corporation, a Delaware corporation, and First Trust National Association, now known as U.S. Bank National Association. In connection with the spin-off by Ceridian Corporation of all of the outstanding common stock of New Ceridian Corporation, a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of Ceridian Corporation (the “New Ceridian Spin-off”), the Trust Agreement was amended, effective as of March 27, 2001, to substitute New Ceridian Corporation for Ceridian Corporation as the “Company” for all purposes of this Trust Agreement. (For the period from the effective time of the substitution through the effective time of the New Ceridian Spin-off, Ceridian Corporation (to be renamed Arbitron Inc.) will be deemed to be a Subsidiary.) Following the New Ceridian Spin-off, Ceridian Corporation was renamed Arbitron Inc. and New Ceridian Corporation was renamed Ceridian Corporation. Without limiting any other consequences resulting from the substitution described in this section, by reason of the substitution:
(a) Ceridian Corporation (formerly New Ceridian Corporation) is the grantor of the Trust;
(b) Ceridian Corporation (formerly New Ceridian Corporation) has all of the rights, powers, privileges and authority and all of the duties and responsibilities arising under or in connection with the Trust Agreement that Arbitron Inc. (formerly Ceridian Corporation) had before the substitution; and
(c) Arbitron Inc. (formerly Ceridian Corporation) has no rights, powers, privileges, authority, duties or responsibilities to the Trustee or any other person arising under or in connection with the Trust Agreement.
The foregoing amendments are effective as of March 27, 2001.
To acknowledge and affirm the foregoing amendments, the undersigned have caused this instrument to be executed by their duly authorized officers.
