EXHIBIT 10.5
Trust Agreement Under the Cambridgeport Bank
Nonqualified Pension Plans and
Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan
This Agreement made by and between Cambridgeport Bank (the "Bank") and the
trustee named on the signature page hereof (the "Trustee"):
WHEREAS, Cambridgeport Savings Bank, the predecessor to the Bank,
established nonqualified supplemental retirement plans for senior officers and
for other officers, effective as of December 1, 1987 (the "Nonqualified Pension
Plans");
WHEREAS on January 17, 1995 the Bank adopted the Cambridgeport Bank
Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan (the "SERP") which provides both certain
additional benefits to participants of the Nonqualified Pension Plans and
retirement benefits to new participants (both the Nonqualified Pension Plans and
the SERP hereafter singly and collectively referred to as the "Plan");
WHEREAS, the Bank has incurred liability under the terms of the Plan with
respect to the individuals participating (the "Participant" or "Participants")
in such Plan;
WHEREAS, the Bank wishes to establish a trust (hereinafter called the
"Trust") and to contribute to the Trust certain assets, including its interest
in variable universal life insurance contracts (the "Insurance Contracts") on
the life of Participants in the Plan, that shall be held therein, subject to the
claims of the Bank's creditors in the event of the Bank's Insolvency, as herein
defined, until such, time as benefits have been paid to the Participants and
their beneficiaries as specified in the Plan,
WHEREAS, it is the intention of the parties that, this Trust shall
constitute an unfunded arrangement and shall not affect the status of the Plan
as an unfunded plan maintained for the purpose of providing deferred
compensation for a select group of management or highly compensated employees
for purposes of Title I of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974,
as amended; arid
WHEREAS, it is the intention of the Bank to make contributions to the Trust
to provide itself with a source of funds to assist it in the meeting of its
liabilities under the Plan;
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 Bank shall, at least on an annual basis, make or cause to be
made contributions to the Trust of cash or property, including its interest in
certain Insurance Contracts and premiums with respect to said Insurance
Contracts, which are acceptable to the Trustee and which shall become the
principal of the Trust to be held, administered and disposed of by the Trustee
as provided in this Trust Agreement. It is the intention of the Parties to the
Plan that the liabilities of the Bank pursuant to the Plan shall be funded in
such amounts and at such times as may be determined by the Bank
actuary as necessary to fund the targeted benefits under the Plan. The Bank, in
its sole discretion, may at any time, or from time to time, make deposits of
cash or other property into the Trust in addition to those amounts required
hereunder. Neither the Trustee nor any Participant or beneficiary shall have any
right to compel such additional deposits.
(b) Upon a Change in Control, as defined in Section 13(d) herein, the Bank
shall, as soon as possible, but in no event later than 30 days following the
Change in Control, make an irrevocable contribution to the Trust in an amount
that is sufficient, as determined by an actuary appointed by the Trustee, to pay
each Participant or beneficiary the full vested benefits to which he or she
would be entitled pursuant to the terms of the Plan as of the date on which the
Change in Control occurred. To the extent that any individual Participant has a
change in control definition in any agreement between the Bank and said
Participant which differs from the definition in Section 13(d) herein, and any
event occurs which constitutes a change in control pursuant to said change in
control agreement, then the Bank shall be obligated to make an irrevocable
contribution to the Trust, determined in the same manner and in the same time
period as set forth above, in an amount sufficient to fund said individual
Participant's full vested benefits pursuant to the terms of the Plan. Within the
same time period following a Change in Control, the Bank shall make a further
irrevocable contribution to the Trust in an amount sufficient to pay for the
Trustee's fees and for actuarial, accounting, legal and other professional or
administrative services necessary to implement the terms of this Trust following
a Change in Control. Such amount shall be determined by the Trustee's estimate
of its fees (as provided in this Trust Agreement) and by estimates obtained by
the Trustee from the independent actuaries, accountants, lawyers and other
appropriate professional and administrative personnel who provided such services
to the Trust or the Bank immediately before the Change in Control.
(c) The Trust hereby established shall be irrevocable.
(d) The Trust is intended to be a grantor trust, of which the Bank is the
grantor, within the meaning of subpart E, part 1, subchapter J, chapter 1,
subtitle A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and shall be
construed accordingly.
(e) The principal of the Trust, and any earnings thereon, shall be held
separate and apart from other funds of the Bank and shall be used exclusively
for the uses and purposes of the Participants and general creditors as herein
set forth. The Participants and their beneficiaries shall have no preferred
claim on, or any beneficial ownership interest in, any assets of the Trust. Any
rights created under the Plan and this Trust Agreement shall be mere unsecured
contractual rights of the Participants and their beneficiaries against the Bank.
Any assets held by the Trust will, be subject to the claims of the Bank's
general creditors under Federal and state law in the event of Insolvency, as
defined in Section 3(a) herein.
Section 2. Payments to Plan Participants and Their Beneficiaries
(a) The Bank shall deliver to the Trustee a copy of the Plan
document, together with a schedule (the "Payment Schedule") that indicates (1)
the amounts payable in respect of each Participant (and his or her
beneficiaries), or a formula or other instructions acceptable to Trustee for
determining the amounts so payable, (ii) the form in which such amount is to be
paid (as provided for or available under the Plan), and (H) the time of
commencement for payment of such amounts.
2
If the Bank has not done so previously, it shall deliver the Plan document and
the Payment Schedule to the Trustee before the occurrence of any Change in
Control, and, upon the occurrence of a Change in Control, shall deliver to the
Trustee a current census of Participants and a current Payment Schedule (to the
extent revisions to the most recent previous Payment Schedule are necessary or
appropriate). Following any Change in Control, the Payment Schedule may not be
modified or amend ed by the Bank. Except as otherwise provided herein, the
Trustee shall make payments to the Participants and their beneficiaries in
accordance with such Payment Schedule. The Trustee shall make provision for the
reporting and withholding of any Federal, state or local taxes that may be
required to be so withheld with respect to the payment of benefits pursuant to
the terms of the Plan and shall pay amounts withheld to the appropriate taxing
authorities or determine that such amounts have been reported, withheld and paid
by the Bank.
(b) Subject to any determination made and set forth in the Payment Schedule
described in Section 2(a) following a Change in Control, the entitlement of a
Participant or his or her beneficiaries to benefits under the Plan shall be
determined by the Bank or such arbitrator as the Bank and the Participants shall
designate and any claim for such benefits shall be considered and reviewed under
the procedures set out in the Plan.
(c) The Bank may make payment of benefits directly to the Participants or
their beneficiaries as they become due under the terms of the Plan. The Bank
shall notify the Trustee of its decision to make payment of benefits directly
prior to the time amounts are payable to the Participants or their
beneficiaries. In addition, if the principal of the Trust, and any earnings
thereon, are not sufficient to make payments on benefits in accordance with the
terms of the Plan, the Bank shall make the balance of each such payment as it
falls due. The Trustee shall notify the Bank where principal and earnings are
not sufficient.
Section 3. Trustee Responsibility Regarding Payments to Trust Beneficiary
When Bank is Insolvent
(a) Trustee shall cease payment of benefits to the Participants and their
beneficiaries if the Bank is Insolvent. The Bank shall be considered "Insolvent"
for purposes of this Trust Agreement if (i) the Bank is unable to pay its debts
as they become due, or (ii) a receiver is appointed for the Bank by the
Commissioner of Banks of Massachusetts or the Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation.
(b) At all times during the continuance of this Trust, as provided in
Section 1(e) hereof, the principal and income of the Trust shall be subject to
claims of general creditors of the Bank under Federal and state law as set forth
below

shall have the duty to inform the Trustee in writing of the Bank's
Insolvency. If a person claiming to be a creditor of the Bank alleges
in writing, to the Trustee that the Bank has become Insolvent, the
Trustee shall determine whether the Bank has become Insolvent and,
pending such determination, the Trustee shall discontinue payment of
benefits to the Participants or their beneficiaries.
3
(2) Unless the Trustee has actual knowledge of the Bank's Insolvency, or
has received notice from the Bank or a person claiming to be a
creditor alleging that the Bank is Insolvent, the Trustee shall have
no duty to inquire whether the Bank is Insolvent. The Trustee may in C
events rely on such evidence concerning the Bank's solvency as may be
furnished to the Trustee and that provides the Trustee with a
reasonable basis for making a determination concerning the Bank's
solvency.
(3) If at any time the Trustee has determined that the Bank is Insolvent,
the Trustee shall discontinue payments cc the Participants or their
beneficiaries and shall hold the assets of the Trust for the benefit
of the Bank's general creditors. Nothing in this Trust Agreement shall
in any way diminish any rights of the Participant or their
beneficiaries to pursue their rights as general creditors of the Bank
with respect to benefits due under the Plan or otherwise.
(4) The Trustee shall resume the payment of benefits to the Participants
or their beneficiaries in accordance with Section 2 of this Trust
Agreement only after the Trustee has determined that the Bank is not
Insolvent (or is no longer Insolvent).
(c) Provided that there are sufficient assets, if the Trustee discontinues
the payment of benefits from the Trust pursuant to Section 3(b) hereof and
subsequently resumes such payments, the first payment following such
discontinuance shall include the aggregate amount of all payments due to the
Participants or their beneficiaries under the terms of the Plan for the period
of such discontinuance, less the aggregate amount of any payments made to the
Participants or their beneficiaries by the Bank in lieu of the payments provided
for hereunder during any such period of discontinuance.
Section 4. Payment to Bank
Except as provided in Section 3 hereof, the Bank shall have no right or power to
direct the Trustee to return to the Bank or to divert to the Bank or to divert
to others any of the Trust assets before all payments of benefits have been made
to the Participants and their beneficiaries pursuant to the terms of the Plan.

rights to acquire stock) or obligations issued by the Bank, other than a de

securities or the public offering of the voting securities of a company

promulgated under the Exchange Act) other than by or on behalf of the
Board of Directors of the Bank; or
(e) any event which would be described in paragraph 2(a), (b), (c) or (d);
if the term "Stock Holding Company" (as defined in paragraph 1(i) above)

result of any acquisition of securities or assets of the Bank, the Stock Holding
Company, or a subsidiary of either of them, by the Bank, the Stock Holding
Company, or any subsidiary of either of them, or by any employee benefit plan
maintained by any of them. For purposes of this section 15(a), the term
"person" shall have the meaning assigned to it under sections 13(d)(3) or
14(d)(2) of the Exchange Act.
