Information. Neither party will produce or disclose any information arguably

due and payable thereunder, including all fees and expenses related to the
provision of administrative services and management by CAI of all of the
investment securities, other financial instruments related to investments,
investment real estate and other investment assets of TPC and its Controlled
Affiliates, including any such assets and securities acquired or accumulated
after the date hereof which comprise Total Investments as would be reflected on
the GAAP consolidated balance sheet of TPC and its Controlled Affiliates ("Total
Investments"). For this purpose Total Investments shall not include the assets
of the Pension Plan of TPC or the investment assets of Controlled Affiliates of
TPC acquired after the date hereof (unless in the case of after-acquired
Controlled Affiliates the investment management arrangements in effect prior to
acquisition by TPC are changed after the acquisition by TPC). Fees and expenses,
including performance fees, shall be computed consistent with the terms of the
IMA and assuming that the assets and the asset allocation in the Account (as
defined in the IMA) are equal to the assets immediately prior to the termination
of the IMA or payment failure by TIGHI, as applicable. This guarantee shall
survive the termination and expiration of the IMA until the payment in full of
all fees and expenses and other amounts for services rendered under the IMA
through March 31, 2003 (or such later period for so long as the IMA is in
effect), except in the event of an earlier termination of the IMA due to
Determination of Material Breach of the IMA or in the event that CAI ceases to
be a majority-owned subsidiary of Citigroup and TIGHI elects to terminate the
IMA as provided therein. Upon the payment in full of all fees and expenses and
other amounts due thereunder, this guarantee shall terminate and be on no
further force and effect.
During the term of the IMA, consistent with its fiduciary duties,
TPC will use its best efforts to consider CAI among investment managers to be
selected to manage the pension assets of TPC and its Controlled Affiliates. In
respect of Controlled Affiliates acquired after the date hereof, to the extent
that TPC decides to change the investment management arrangements in effect
prior to the acquisition thereof, it shall grant to CAI the right of first
refusal to provide investment management and related administrative services to
such Affiliate."
16. Amendment to Article IX: Workers' Compensation Claims
A new Section 9.27 shall be added to Article IX as set forth below:

TPC Employees, with respect to dates of loss occurring in policy years
commencing with the policy year April 1, 1994 through and including the policy
year ended June 30, 2002. TPC shall remain solely responsible (and Citigroup

and Assumption Agreement, dated March 18, 2002, between TPC and TIC (the "CAA

value of the portion of TPC's reserves relating to workers' compensation claims

Employee Claims"); (ii) until such transfer, TPC shall be solely responsible
(and Citigroup shall have no responsibility) for the satisfaction of Non-TPC
Employee Claims reflected in such reserves; (iii) following such transfer,
Citigroup shall be solely responsible (and TPC shall have no responsibility) for
the satisfaction of Non-TPC Employee Claims; (iv) TPC shall remain solely
responsible (and Citigroup shall have no responsibility) for the satisfaction of
workers' compensation claims attributable to Continuing Employees. The transfer
