the following powers:
(a) To invest up to 100% of all Trust assets in shares of the Stock without regard to
any law now or hereafter in force limiting investments for Trustees or other fiduciaries.

3.04 Earnings. All earnings, gains and losses with respect to Trust assets shall be allocated, in

interest-bearing account or accounts at the Savings Bank or elsewhere or in such other instruments
or investments as the Trustees shall determine to be appropriate.

amounts to cover any applicable withholding and employment taxes and, if the amount of such cash
payment is not sufficient, the Trustee may require the Participant or Beneficiary to pay the
Trustee the amount required to be withheld as a condition of delivering the Retention Shares. The
Trustee shall pay to the Company or the Related Party which employs or employed such Participant or
which the Participant serves or served as a Director, any such amount withheld from or paid by the
Participant or Beneficiary.

Trust, whether or not such awarded Retention Shares have been earned.
7.00 MISCELLANEOUS
7.01 Adjustments for Capital Changes. The aggregate number of Retention Shares available for
issuance pursuant to the Awards and the number of Retention Shares to which any Award relates shall
be proportionately adjusted for any increase or decrease in the total number of outstanding shares

from any split, subdivision or consolidation of shares or other capital adjustment, or other
increase or decrease in such shares effected without receipt or payment of consideration by the
