ESTABLISHMENT OF TRUST
----------------------
2.1 TRUST ESTABLISHED.
-----------------
As of the Effective Date, the Company establishes with the Trustee, as a
funding medium for the Plans, a trust consisting of such sums of money or
property as from time to time shall be paid or transferred to the Trustee with
respect to the Plans, and such earnings, profits, increments, additions and

with in accordance with the terms of this Master Trust Agreement.
Each Employer intends that this Trust shall constitute a part of its Plan
or Plans which will meet the requirements of ERISA and qualify under Code
(S)401(a), and thereby obtain tax exempt status under Code (S)501(a).
The Trustee shall have no duty to collect or enforce payment to it of any

without distinction between principal and income.
2.2 COMMINGLED FUND.
---------------
The Trust Fund is made up of the assets of the Plans, which are being
commingled for investment purposes. Although the assets of the Plans are being
commingled for investment purposes, each Plan shall continue to be separate plan
for all purposes, including (S) 414(1) of the Code. Each separate Plan shall be
deemed to have an undivided interest in the Trust Fund except any such assets
required to be segregated by the provisions herein or by the provisions of the
Plan. The interest of a Plan in the Trust Fund shall be used solely for the
benefit of the Covered Individuals of that Plan and to pay the expenses of that
Plan. The portion of the Trust Fund attributable to one Plan may not be used
for the benefit of any other Plan.
2.3 ALLOCATIONS AND SEGREGATED FUNDS.
--------------------------------
The Trustee is directed to maintain a Plan Account for each Plan to record
the Plan's interest in the Trust Fund. If in the future the Trustee receives
written notice from the Investment Committee to segregate the assets
attributable to a Plan, the Trustee shall do so as soon thereafter as
practicable. Thereafter, the Trustee shall administer each such separate fund in
the manner provided in Article 4, or if so directed by the Investment Committee,
shall deliver the assets of any such separate fund to
4
such successor trustee or trustees as shall be designated by the Company.
2.4 DISQUALIFIED PLANS.
------------------
In the event that the Internal Revenue Service determines that any Plan
hereunder is not a qualified plan within the meaning of (S) 401(a) of the Code,
and if such Plan is not amended so as to qualify under such section within the
period of time permitted by law for retroactive amendment of such Plan, then the
Company shall promptly direct the Trustee to segregate the assets of such Plan
pursuant to Section 2.3 above and, after making provision for the payment of
taxes and expenses, if any, attributable to such Plan, either direct the Trustee
to transfer such assets to a new trust established by the Company for that
purpose and/or, if permitted by the Plan and under applicable law, return all or
any part of such Plan to the Company or to an Affiliate.
ARTICLE 3.

------------------
The Investment Committee shall appoint an Investment Advisor for each
Portfolio. The Investment Advisor so appointed shall have the sole power and
duty to manage and direct the investment and reinvestment of the assets of such
Portfolio. The Investment Advisor shall issue instructions to the Trustee in
writing, by facsimile, by electronic media or orally (to be followed promptly by
written confirmation) or in such manner as shall be agreed upon between the
Investment Advisor and the Trustee, subject to such guidelines and restrictions
as may be contained in the Plans, this Master Trust Agreement or any separate
agreement between the Investment Committee and such Investment Advisor.
3.3 COMMON, COLLECTIVE OR COMMINGLED FUNDS.
--------------------------------------
In the event that an Investment Advisor appointed hereunder is a bank or
trust company, the Investment Committee shall have full authority and discretion
to authorize such Investment Advisor to invest and reinvest all or any part of
its Portfolio in any common, collective or commingled trust fund maintained by
it as trustee for the investment of assets of trusts under plans which are
qualified
5
under (S) 401 (a) of the Code and exempt from taxation under (S) 501 (a) of the
Code. The Trustee is authorized to enter into any and all agreements necessary
to accomplish these investments. The Trustee shall have no liability for assets
held in a common, collective, or commingled fund (other than its own) invested
in accordance with this Section 3.3.
3.4 COMPANY STOCK FUNDS.
-------------------
One or more of the Portfolios may consist of Company Stock and such
Portfolio or Portfolios will occasionally be referred to in this Agreement as a
"Company Stock Fund" or the "Company Stock Funds". Unless the Investment
Committee directs otherwise, the Investment Committee will be the Investment
Advisor for such Portfolio or Portfolios. Pursuant to, and to the extent
provided in, Sections 4.5 and 4.6 of this Agreement and the provisions of any
applicable Plan, the Investment Committee hereby assigns to the Trustee the
responsibility for voting proxies and tendering Company Stock. In performing
its duties with respect to a Company Stock Fund, the Trustee shall maintain the
strict confidentially of any instructions received from Covered Individuals in
accordance with the provisions of each relevant Plan.
3.5 REMOVAL OR RESIGNATION.

such agreements (including any agreement entering into a limited partnership, a

any investment. The Trustee shall not make any investment review of, or consider
the propriety of holding or selling, or vote any assets over which the
Investment Committee has assumed investment responsibility.

-----------------
With respect to each Portfolio, the Investment Advisor thereof (or with
respect to those assets or a cash account over which the
6
Investment Committee has assumed investment responsibility, the Investment

Committee and the Investment Advisor, as if all references therein to the
Trustee referred to the Investment Advisor (or Investment Committee).

depreciation with respect to a Portfolio shall be allocated to the Plan Accounts

4.5 TRUSTEE ACTIONS DURING TENDER OFFER.
-----------------------------------
In the event of any transaction involving one or more offers to purchase
Company Stock which is evidenced by the filing of a Statement on Schedule 14D-l
with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") or any other similar
transaction (such transaction referred to herein as a "Tender Offer" and the
date of
10
filing with the SEC referred to herein as the "Filing Date"), paragraphs (a)
through (j) shall apply:
(a) Notwithstanding anything in the Plan to the contrary, after the Filing
Date --
(i) No option to receive cash instead of Company Stock under any of
the Plans' distribution provisions shall be honored unless the
Administrator otherwise directs, and the Company Stock portion of any
distribution shall be limited to amounts of Company Stock credited, on or
before the Filing Date, to the accounts of the Covered Individual in
question; and
(ii) No participant election to invest additional amounts in a Company
Stock Fund shall be honored after the Filing Date. The portion of any
account which otherwise would have been invested in a Company Stock Fund
shall instead be invested in a fixed income fund as directed by the
Investment Committee.
(b) The Company shall promptly, and at its own expense, engage the
services of an Outside Independent Plan Administrator ("OIPA") experienced in
administration of like plans. The OIPA shall, on a standby basis, perform those
functions (and only those functions) which are set forth in paragraphs (c)
through (h) and which are necessary to preserve the strict confidentiality of
(i) the instructions received from Covered Individuals by the Trustee and (ii)
any other information which would reveal whether or not a Covered Individual's
accounts' proportionate share of a Company Stock Fund (such proportionate share
of any Company Stock Fund referred to herein as his "Company Stock Share") has
or has not been tendered.
(c) (i) the trustee shall seek by mail confidential written instructions
from each Covered Individual as to whether his Company Stock Share should
be tendered pursuant to the Tender Offer.
(ii) The Trustee shall distribute to each such Covered Individual, as
soon as possible after the Filing Date, copies of all relevant material
filed with the SEC with respect to the Tender Offer. The Trustee shall
request that the filing party pay the reasonable expenses of the Trustee in
connection therewith. The Trustee shall have the power to require that
payment for such distribution of materials be made in advance, and in any
event the Trustee shall be entitled to reimbursement out of the Trust Fund
for its reasonable out-of-pocket expenses for services rendered in the
performance of its responsibility and duties described in this Section
11
(including any expenses not reimbursed by the filing party).
(iii) The identity of each covered individual and the amount of his
Company Stock Share shall be determined from the list of Covered
Individuals delivered to the Trustee by the Administrator or if an QIPA has
previously been appointed under this Section and if the Administrator does
not have such information because of the confidentiality rules contained
herein, by that OIPA. The Administrator or QIPA, as applicable, shall take
all such reasonable steps as may be necessary to provide the Trustee with
information which is as current as possible.
(d) Each Covered Individual shall be entitled to instruct the Trustee,
with respect to his Company Stock Share, either
(i) to tender all (but not less than all) of such Company Stock
Share, or
(ii) not to tender any such Company Stock Share, and the Trustee shall
follow such instructions.
(e) The Trustee shall make such follow-up efforts, through additional
mailings, bulletins to be posted in areas where notices are normally posted by
the Company and otherwise, as it finds to be reasonable under the time
constraints and other circumstances at hand, to assure that materials referred
to in paragraph (c) have been received by Covered Individuals, and obtain
instructions from Covered Individuals, who have not otherwise responded to the
Trustee's request for instructions. The Company shall provide full cooperation
to the Trustee in this regard.
(f) If, after the Trustee has made the follow-up effort set out in
paragraph (e), a Covered Individual does not respond to the Trustee's request
for instructions, the nonresponding Covered Individual shall be deemed to have
made the election set out in paragraph (d) (ii).
(g) The Trustee shall make its own investment decision, as a fiduciary, as
to whether to tender the Company Stock Shares attributable to any forfeited and
unreallocated accounts.
(h) If some but less than all of the Covered Individuals' Company Stock
Shares are tendered and sold or exchanged by the Trustee, the QIPA shall
thereafter perform all functions with respect to all accounts as constituted on
or after the Filing Date. Records and administration for all contributions after
the Filing Date shall be maintained by the Administrator unless that duty has
also been delegated to the OIPA.
12
(i) At such time as events (e.q., termination of a Plan or placement of
----
all Plan assets in investments other than Company Stock) occur which obviate the
need for the OIPA in order to preserve confidentiality, the services of the OIPA
shall be terminated and, to the extent necessary to preserve confidentiality,
its records relating to the Plan shall be destroyed.
(j) The proceeds of the sale of any Company Stock sold by the Trustee
pursuant to an instruction from a Covered Individual in accordance with
paragraph (d) (i) shall be invested in accordance with the provisions of the
relevant Plan.
4.6 TRUSTEE POWERS WITH RESPECT TO TENDER OFFER.
-------------------------------------------
Except as provided in Section 4.5(g), the Trustee's functions under
Section 4.5 are and shall be solely custodial and ministerial. The Trustee shall
have no powers or duties with respect to a Tender Offer except as expressly set
forth in Section 4.5 and specifically shall have no power or duty --
(a) to manage or to control the assets of the Plan in connection with any
Tender offer (except as provided in Section 4.5(j));
(b) to evaluate any Tender Offer;
(c) to advise any Participant, as to the fairness or other features of a
Tender Offer;
(d) to tender or vote any Company Stock held under a Plan, except as
instructed by Covered Individuals; or
(e) to monitor or police the activities of the tendering entity or the
Company in promoting or resisting any Tender Offer; provided, however, that if
the Trustee becomes aware of any such activity which reasonably appears to the
Trustee to be coercive or misleading in any material way, the Trustee shall
promptly demand that the offending party take appropriate corrective action.
The Trustee shall, in the event of refusal or failure of such party to take such
corrective action as the Trustee reasonably finds appropriate, communicate with
Covered Individuals as to the matter.
4.7 GROUP ANNUITIES.
---------------
When and to the extent directed by the Investment Committee, the Trustee
shall invest all or a portion of the Trust Fund in a group annuity or guaranteed

4.8 GENERAL DUTIES.
--------------
Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Master Trust Agreement, the
Trustee shall have the responsibility of discharging its duties with respect to
the Trust Fund solely in the interest of the Covered Individuals and for the
exclusive purpose of providing benefits under the Plans and defraying the
reasonable expense of administering the Trust Fund. The Trustee shall exercise
the care, skill, prudence, and diligence under the circumstances then
prevailing that a prudent man acting in a like capacity and familiar with such
matters would use in the conduct of an enterprise of a like character and with
like aims. Moreover, the Trustee, to the extent it is responsible for
investment of the Trust Fund, shall diversify such investments so as to
minimize the risk of large losses, unless under the circumstances it is clearly
prudent not to do so, and shall administer the Trust Fund in accordance with the
terms and provisions of this Master Trust Agreement insofar as this Master Trust
Agreement is consistent with the provisions of applicable law.
4.9 GLOBAL CUSTODY.
--------------
The Trustee shall have no discretion, duty or responsibility with respect
to the selection or supervision of foreign investments, including the
qualification of such investments as appropriate for the Trust Fund and shall
have no liability for the performance of such investments.
The Trustee may utilize the services of a depository, sub-custodian, other
agents or sub-agents with respect to the custody and processing of foreign
investments. Such depository, sub-custodian and/or other agents or sub-agents
may be located in countries other than the United States and may in turn employ
additional sub-custodians and/or other agents and sub-agents who may be located
in countries other that the United States. At all times, Trustee shall maintain
the assets with an indicia of ownership in the United States.
The Trustee shall bear no risk with respect to investment in foreign
securities related to investing in securities or the holding of cash denominated
in a currency other than that of the United States.
The Trustee shall not be liable for any action taken, or any failure to
take any action required to be taken hereunder or otherwise to fulfill its
obligations hereunder (including without limitation the failure to receive or
deliver securities or the failure to receive or make any payment) in connection
with foreign investments in the event and to the extent that the taking of
action or such failure arises out of or is caused by any cause whatsoever beyond
its reasonable control.
14
The Trustee shall exercise reasonable care in the selection and retention
of a depository, sub-custodians and/or other agents and sub-agents, but if the
Trustee has exercised reasonable care it shall otherwise have no
responsibilities for the performance of such depository, sub-custodians and/or
other agents and sub-agents with respect to foreign investments. In the event
of claim or loss with respect to foreign investments, the Trustee will exercise
reasonable efforts to effect a recovery but does not guarantee the results. The
cost and expense of its efforts will be charged to the Master Trust. In no
event will the Trustee be liable for any claim or loss or related expense in
connection with the investment, custody and processing of foreign securities in
the absence of negligence or misconduct on the part of the Trustee itself.
4.10 DISTRIBUTIONS.
-------------
The Trustee shall make distributions from the Trust Fund to such persons,
in such amounts, at such time and in such manner as the appropriate
Administrator from time to time shall direct in writing or in such other manner
as the parties may mutually agree. The Trustee shall have no responsibility (i)
to ascertain whether any direction received by the Trustee from an Administrator
in accordance with the preceding sentence is proper and in compliance with the
terms of a Plan or, (ii) to see to the application of any distribution. The
Trustee shall not be liable for any distribution made in good faith without
actual notice or knowledge of the changed condition or status of any recipient.
If any distribution made by the Trustee is returned unclaimed, the Trustee shall
notify the Administrator and shall dispose of the distribution as the
Administrator shall direct.
4.11 CASH RESERVES.
-------------
Notwithstanding the provisions of Article 3, upon direction of the
Investment Committee, the Trustee shall retain all or any portion designated by
the Investment Committee of the cash distributions received under the
Plan to meet anticipated requisitions or orders of the Investment Committee,
and shall invest such contributions temporarily in the manner referred to in
Section 4.2(c).
ARTICLE 5.
----------
CERTAIN DUTIES OF THE INVESTMENT COMMITTEE
------------------------------------------
5.1 GENERAL.
-------
The Investment Committee shall:
(a) anticipate the need for cash distribution pursuant to the terms of the
Plan and make such arrangements with each Investment
15
Advisor and the Trustee, or otherwise, as may be needed to provide cash
sufficient to satisfy such need;
(b) designate one or more individuals who shall have authority to give and
receive communications on behalf of the Investment Committee;
(c) cause each Investment Advisor to confirm oral instructions given to
the Trustee immediately thereafter in writing, electronically or in such other
manner as is mutually acceptable to the Trustee and the Investment Advisor;
(d) establish investment guidelines for the Trust Fund as a whole and for
each Portfolio so that investments are diversified to minimize the risk of large
losses, unless it is prudent not to do so under the circumstances, and
(e) designate the Investment Advisor, Trustee or other proper party to
exercise the voting rights of any stocks, bonds or other securities held in the
Trust. Unless the Investment Committee reserves to itself or assigns to the
Trustee the power to exercise such voting rights, all voting rights will be
exercised by the Investment Advisor. Such reservation or assignment shall be
made in the agreement appointing the Investment Advisor or in an addendum or
amendment thereto.
5.2 FIDUCIARY STANDARDS.
--------------------
The Investment Committee shall exercise all of its duties hereunder in
accordance with the fiduciary standards of ERISA.
ARTICLE 6.
----------
TRUSTEE ACCOUNTING
------------------
6.1 GENERAL TRUSTEE RESPONSIBILITIES.
--------------------------------
The Trustee shall maintain accounts of all receipts and disbursements,
including contributions, distributions, purchases, sales and other transactions
of the Trust Fund. The accounts, and the books and records relating thereto,
shall be open to inspection and audit at all reasonable times by any person or
persons designated by the Investment Committee or entitled thereto under
ERISA.
6.2 PERIODIC REPORT.
---------------
Within thirty (30) days after the close of each fiscal year of the Trust
Fund and of any other period agreed upon by the Trustee and the Investment
Committee, the Trustee shall render to the Investment Committee a statement of
account for the Trust Fund for
16
the period commencing with the close of the last preceding period and a list
setting forth, as of the close of the current period, each asset of the Trust
Fund and its cost and fair market value. The Trustee shall determine fair market
value for each asset; provided, however, the Trustee shall rely conclusively
upon the determination of the issuing insurance company with respect to the fair
market value of each insurance contract and, when the Trustee determines that an
asset does not have a readily ascertainable fair market value, the Trustee may
rely upon the Investment Advisor of the Portfolio to which such asset is
allocated with respect to the determination of the fair market value of such
asset, and the Trustee shall have no responsibility with respect thereto.
6.3 APPROVAL OF ACCOUNTING.
----------------------
An accounting of the Trustee may be approved by the Investment Committee by
written notice delivered to the Trustee or by failure to object to the
accounting by written notice delivered to the Trustee within six (6) months of
the date upon which the accounting was delivered to the Investment Committee.
The approval of an accounting shall constitute a full and complete discharge to
the Trustee as to all matters set forth in that accounting as if the accounting
had been settled by a court of competent jurisdiction in an action or proceeding
to which the Trustee, the Company and the Investment Committee were parties. In
no event shall the Trustee be precluded from having its accountings settled by a
judicial proceeding. Nothing in this Section shall relieve the Trustee of any
responsibility, or liability for any responsibility, under ERISA, including,
without limitation, any responsibility or liability arising from the misfeasance
or malfeasance of the Trustee.
ARTICLE 7.
----------
TRUSTEE SUCCESSION
------------------
7.1 RESIGNATION AND REMOVAL.
-----------------------
The Trustee may resign at any time by giving written notice to the
Investment Committee, or the Investment Committee may remove the Trustee at any
time by giving written notice to the Trustee. Any such resignation or removal
shall be effective thirty (30) days after the date of the Trustee's resignation
or receipt of the notice of removal or at such earlier date as the Trustee and
the Investment Committee may agree.
7.2 SUCCESSOR TRUSTEE.
-----------------
In the case of the resignation or removal of the Trustee, the Investment
Committee shall within thirty (30) days appoint a successor Trustee, who shall
qualify as such by delivering a
17
written acceptance of the terms of the Master Trust Agreement to the Company,
the Employers, the Investment Committee and the retiring Trustee. As soon as
practicable thereafter, the retiring Trustee shall deliver the assets of the
Trust Fund to the successor Trustee but may reserve such reasonable amount as
the Trustee may deem necessary for outstanding and accrued charges against the
Trust Fund.
The successor Trustee, and any successor to the trust business of the
Trustee by merger, consolidation or otherwise, shall have all of the powers
given the originally named Trustee except those contained in Section 4.2(j).
Except as otherwise provided in ERISA, no successor Trustee shall be personally
liable for any act or omission of any predecessor. Except as otherwise
provided in ERISA, the receipt of the assets of the Trust Fund by the successor
Trustee and the approval of the Trust Fund by the successor Trustee and the
approval of the Trustee's final accounting by the Investment Committee in
the manner provided in Article 6 shall constitute a full and complete discharge
of the Trustee.
Any corporation into which the Trustee may be merged or with which it may
be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger or consolidation
to which the Trustee may be a party, or any Corporation succeeding to the
business of the Trustee or to which substantially all of the assets of the
Trustee may be transferred, shall be the successor of the Trustee hereunder
without the execution or filing of any paper and without any further action on
the part of the parties hereto, with like effect as if such successor trustee
had originally been named trustee herein; and in any such event, and except as
may be otherwise provided in ERISA, it shall not be necessary for the Trustee or
any successor Trustee to give notice to any person having an interest in this
Master Trust Agreement or in the Master Trust hereby created or in any of' the
property held by the Trustee hereunder and the requirements of any and all
statutes and laws (other than ERISA) that notice shall be given by the Trustee
in any such case are hereby waived.

resolution or direction.

Trustee may assume, until advised to the contrary, that each Plan and the Trust
Fund is qualified under (S)401(a) and exempt from taxation under (S)501(a) of

included among the assets of the Trust Fund but shall have no responsibility to
determine whether the contributions comply with the provisions of the Plan or
ERISA.
8.4 PARTIES TO JUDICIAL ACTIONS.
---------------------------
In any judicial proceeding to settle the accounts of the Trustee, the
Company and the Investment Committee shall be the only necessary parties. In
any other judicial proceeding with respect to the Trustee or the Trust Fund, the

parties. No Covered Individual shall be entitled to any notice of process. A
final judgment in any such proceeding shall be binding upon the parties to the
proceeding and all Covered Individuals.
8.5 TRUSTEE FEES AND EXPENSES.

The expenses incurred by the Trustee in the performance of its duties,
including fees for legal services rendered to the Trustee, such compensation to
the Trustee as may be agreed upon in writing from time to time by the Investment
Committee and the Trustee, and all other proper charges and disbursements of the
Trustee, shall be
19
paid from the assets of the Trust Fund unless the Company in its discretion
chooses to pay such expenses from its assets or unless otherwise specifically
provided in a Plan; provided, however, the foregoing is not intended to preclude
the Company from paying other proper expenses of administering and operating the
Plan and obtaining reimbursement from the assets of the Trust Fund. All taxes
of any nature whatsoever that may be imposed under existing or future laws upon
or in respect of the Trust Fund or the income therefrom shall be paid from the
Trust Fund.
8.6 ALLOCATION OF FIDUCIARY RESPONSIBILITY.
--------------------------------------

or loss that may result by reason of the exercise or non-exercise of that
fiduciary responsibility by the person to whom it is allocated.
The Company shall indemnify the Trustee, directly from the Company's own
assets (including the proceeds of any insurance policy the premiums of which are
paid from the Company's own assets), from and against any and all claims,
demands, losses, damages, expenses (including, by way of illustration and not
limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and other legal and litigation costs),
judgments and liabilities arising from, out of, or in connection with the
actions or omissions of the Company, any Affiliate, the Administrators, the

by any of the foregoing, expect when determined to be due to the Trustee's
negligence or willful misconduct and only to the extent consistent with ERISA.
8.7 EXCLUSIVE PURPOSE RULE.

exclusive benefit of the Covered Individuals or, except as otherwise permitted
under the affected Plan and ERISA, shall be remitted to the Company or an
Affiliate.

application of any money paid or property delivered to the Trustee or to inquire
into the provisions of this Master Trust Agreement of any Plan or into the

upon the statement of the Trustee that the Trustee is acting in accordance with
this Master Trust Agreement.
20
8.9 NON-ALIENATION.
--------------
Except as may be permitted under any Plan or required under the Code or
ERISA, no interest of a Covered Individual in the Trust Fund, any Plan or
any distribution therefrom shall be subject to the claim of any creditor, any
spouse for alimony or support, or others, or to legal process; and no such
interest may be voluntarily or involuntarily alienated or encumbered.
ARTICLE 9.
----------
ADOPTION OF AGREEMENT BY PLANS
------------------------------
Any qualified plan satisfying the requirements of (S)401 (a) of the Code
which has been adopted and is maintained by the Company or an Affiliate may
become a Plan and use the Master Trust as a funding medium, provided the Trustee
and the Company approve such use. To effect such arrangement the Board of
Directors of the sponsor of such a plan (or the Board of Trustees of a jointly
administered collectively bargained plan) shall adopt resolutions appointing the
Trustee as trustee for such plan, adopting the Master Trust Agreement and
specifying that the Master Trust shall serve as the funding medium for the plan.
The Company or Trustee may require any other reasonable procedures which it
deems helpful as condition for such a plan to become a Plan. The name of each
Plan and the date it acquires Plan status hereunder shall be set forth on
Schedule A, attached hereto and made a part hereof.

The Company reserves the right at any tine and from time to time by action
of its Board of Directors or of the Investment Committee as its agent, to amend
any or all of the provisions of this Agreement by notice thereof in writing
delivered to the Trustee; provided, however, that no such amendment which
affects the rights, duties or responsibilities of the Trustee may be made
without its consent; and provided, further, that no such amendment shall
authorize or permit at any time, prior to the satisfaction of all liabilities
for benefits under a Plan, any part of the corpus or income of the Trust Fund
with respect to such Plan to be used for or diverted to purposes other than for
the exclusive benefit of Covered Individuals under such Plan and payment of
expenses of such Plan.
21
10.2 TERMINATION OF AGREEMENT AND TRUST.
----------------------------------
This Master Trust Agreement shall terminate in its entirety when there is
no asset remaining in the Trust Fund.
This Master Trust Agreement shall terminate with respect to a Plan by
action of the Company or an Affiliate responsible for making contributions with
respect to such Plan, by the Plan's loss of its qualified status under (S)401(a)
of the Code, by the Company's sale or dissolution of the Affiliate responsible
for making contributions to such Plan, or by the failure of a corporate
successor to the Company to elect to become a party to this Master Trust
Agreement. Upon termination with respect to a Plan, the Trustee shall
distribute the portion of the Trust Fund allocated to such Plan in the manner
directed by the Investment Committee (which distribution may be in cash, in kind
or a combination thereof), as the Trustee and the Investment Committee shall
agree; provided, the Trustee shall be entitled to prior receipt of such rulings
and determinations from such administrative agencies as it may deem necessary or
advisable to assure itself that the distribution directed is in accordance with
law and will not subject the Trust Fund or the Trustee to liability; and,
provided further, the Trustee may reserve such reasonable amount as the Trustee
may deem necessary for outstanding and accrued fees, expenses and charges
against the portion of the Trust Fund allocated to such Plan. Nothing herein is
intended to prevent the Trustee from returning assets to the Company or an
Affiliate for a proper reversion under
ERISA.
10.3 GOVERNING LAW.

Trust Agreement shall be determined by, and this Master Trust Agreement shall be

and of this Master Trust Agreement, the provisions of such Plan shall govern.
