3.2 Investment Upon Change in Control.

(a) In the event of a Change in Control, the authority of the Committee to direct investments of the Trust Fund shall cease and the Trustee shall have complete authority to direct investments in accordance with the terms of the Plan and each Plan Agreement; provided, however, that should any of the Trust Fund be invested in Policies, the Trustee is directed to invest such portion of the Trust Fund in accordance with Section 3.2(c) below. In this connection, the Trustee, may, in its sole and absolute discretion, disregard any investment instructions received from the Committee on or after the date that is 90 days prior to a Change in Control.

(b) The President of the Parent shall notify the Trustee in writing when a Change in Control has occurred. The Trustee has no duty to inquire whether a Change in Control has occurred and may rely on notification by the President of the Parent of a Change in Control; provided, however, that if any officer, former officer, director or former director of any Employer (other than the President of the Parent), or any Participant notifies the Trustee that there has been or there may be a Change in Control, the Trustee shall have the duty to satisfy itself as to whether a Change in Control has in fact occurred. The Trustee shall be entitled to engage the services of counsel, consultants, accountants or service providers, which may be counsel, consultants, accountants or service providers to the Parent or the Company, to ascertain whether a Change in Control has occurred.

In addition, the Trustee shall have the right to liquidate such Policies after a Change in Control and invest such proceeds in one or more money market funds (which can be tax-exempt). Such action shall be deemed to constitute a reasonable exercise of the Trustee’s authority to direct investments.

In directing the Trustee to make distributions, the Committee shall follow the provisions of the Plan and each Plan Agreement and shall not direct that any distribution be made, either during the existence or upon discontinuance of the Plan, which would cause any part of the Trust Fund to be used for or diverted to purposes other than as provided in the Plan, each Plan Agreement and this Trust Agreement.

(c) Prior to a Change in Control, the approval by the Committee of an accounting, as provided in (b) above, shall be binding as to all matters embraced in such accounting on all parties to this Trust Agreement and on all Participants and Beneficiaries, to the same extent as if such accounting had been settled by a judgment or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction in which the Trustee, the Committee, the Employers and all persons having or claiming any interest in the Plan, a Plan Agreement or the Trust Fund were made parties. On or after a Change in Control, the approval by the Participants of an accounting, as provided in (b) above, shall be binding as to all matters embraced in such accounting on all parties to this Trust Agreement and on all Participants and Beneficiaries, to the same extent as if such accounting had been settled by a judgment or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction in which the Trustee, the Committee, the Employers and all persons having or claiming any interest in the Plan, a Plan Agreement or the Trust Fund were made parties.

The Trustee may be compensated for such employment and such employment shall not be deemed to be contrary to the Trust.

(b) Effective Time. Any resignation or removal shall take effect on the date specified in the notice, which date, except as provided in the next sentence, shall not be less than 60 days after the delivery thereof unless an earlier date shall be mutually agreed upon.

The successor shall be a bank, trust company, or independent individual unrelated to the Employers and qualified under applicable law to serve in such capacity.

Such expenses shall be paid by the Employers; the Trustee is authorized to pay such expenses first from the Administrative Account and thereafter from the general Trust Fund (and thereafter seek reimbursement from the Employers) if the Employers fail to pay them within 60 days of presentation of a statement of the amounts due.

6.3 Settlement of Accounts. Upon the effective date of such resignation or removal of the Trustee, the former Trustee shall transfer all of the Trust Fund to the successor Trustee, whereupon such successor shall succeed to all of the powers and duties given to the Trustee in this Trust Agreement. The resigning or removed Trustee shall render an account in the form and manner and at the time prescribed in Section 5.2. The approval of such accounting and

discharge of the Trustee shall be as provided in such Section.

(e) Consistency Requirement. If the Parent or the Company elects to amend, modify or terminate the Trust under this Section 7.2, the

The Employers shall contribute from time to time, as necessary, funds sufficient to pay taxes of any and all kinds whatsoever that at any time are lawfully levied or assessed upon or become payable in respect of the Trust Fund, the income or any property forming a part thereof, or any security transaction pertaining thereto. This obligation to contribute shall not extend to individual taxes levied or assessed against the individual Participant with respect to the Trust Fund. To the extent that contributions are not made within 30 days of the Trustee’s request for such contributions, the Trustee shall have the power to pay such taxes out of the Trust Fund and shall seek reimbursement from the Employers. Prior to making any payment, the Trustee may require such releases or other documents from any lawful taxing authority as it shall deem necessary. The Trustee shall contest the validity of taxes in any manner deemed appropriate by the Employers, but at the Employers’ expense, and only if it has received an indemnity bond or other security satisfactory to it to pay any such expenses. The Trustee shall not be liable for any nonpayment of tax when it distributes an interest hereunder on directions from the Committee. The Employers and the Company shall cooperate with each other as necessary to minimize the Trust’s tax liability.

10.3 Third Persons. All persons dealing with the Trustee are released from inquiring into the decisions or authority of the Trustee and from seeing to the application of any moneys, securities or other property paid or delivered to the Trustee.

10.4 Nonassignability; Nonalienation. None of the benefits, payments, claims or interests hereunder of any Participant or Beneficiary shall be subject to any claim of such Participant’s or Beneficiary’s creditors and, in particular, the same shall not be subject to attachment or garnishment or other legal process by any such creditors, nor shall any Participant or Beneficiary have any right to alienate, anticipate, commute, pledge, encumber or assign any of the benefits, payments, claims or interest which he may expect to receive, contingently or otherwise, under the Trust, except that the foregoing shall not apply to any family support obligations set forth in a court order.

10.5 The Plan. The Trust, the Plan and all related Plan Agreements are parts of a single, integrated employee benefit plan system and shall be construed together. In the event of any conflict between the terms of this Trust Agreement, the agreement that constitutes the Plan and any Plan Agreement, such conflict shall be resolved in favor of this Trust Agreement. In addition, if on

or after a Change in Control, the Plan or Plan Agreement, or any provision of the Plan or Plan Agreement, is determined by any court to be, rejected, invalid or unenforceable, then for purpose of this Trust Agreement, the Trustee shall still interpret and apply the Plan and Plan Agreement according to its written terms and not according to the court’s determination.

10.6 Applicable Law. This Trust Agreement shall be construed, administered and governed under the laws of the State of California, without regard to conflicts of law principles. If any provision of this Trust Agreement shall be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions hereof shall continue to be fully effective.

10.7 Notices and Directions. Whenever a notice or direction is given by the Committee to the Trustee, it shall be in the form required by Section 2.1. Actions by the Parent or the Company shall be by the Board or a duly authorized officer(s), with such actions certified to the Trustee by an appropriately certified copy of the action taken. The Trustee shall be protected in acting upon any such notice, resolution, order, certificate or other communication believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed by the proper party or parties.

10.8 Successors and Assigns. This Trust Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Employers and the Trustee and their respective successors and assigns.

10.9 Gender and Number. Words used in the masculine shall apply to the feminine where applicable, and when the context requires, the plural shall be read as the singular and the singular as the plural.
