the laws of the State of Delaware (hereinafter referred to as the "Company") and
THE BANK OF NEW YORK, a New York banking corporation (hereinafter referred to as
the "Trustee").
WHEREAS, the Company has established the GTECH Holdings Corporation and
Subsidiaries Income Deferral Plan 1998 (as from time to time amended, the
"Plan") as an unfunded plan maintained for the purpose of providing deferred
compensation for a select group of management or highly compensated employees
from time to time participating in the Plan; and
WHEREAS, under the Plan, the Company is required to pay Benefits to the
Participants or their Beneficiaries; and
WHEREAS, the Company intends from time to time to contribute cash or
other property reasonably acceptable to the Trustee which cash or property will,
as and when received by the Trustee, constitute a trust fund to aid the Company
in meeting its obligations to make payments of Benefits to Participants and
Beneficiaries under the Plan and to assure that such obligations are met after a
Change in Control; and
WHEREAS, the establishment of this Trust shall not affect the Company's
continuing obligation to make payments to Participants and Beneficiaries under
the Plan except that the Company's liability thereunder shall be offset by
actual payments made on its behalf by the Trustee hereunder; and
WHEREAS, the Company intends that the Trust Fund shall be held by the
Trustee and invested, reinvested and distributed all in accordance with the
provisions of this Trust Agreement; and
WHEREAS, the Plan provides, and the Company intends, that the assets of
the Trust Fund shall be and remain subject to the claims of the Company's
creditors as herein provided and that the Plan not be deemed funded solely by

WHEREAS, the Trust is intended to be a "grantor trust" with the result
that the corpus and income of the Trust are treated as assets and income of the
Company pursuant to Sections 671 through 679 of the Code; and
WHEREAS, the Company intends that the Plan not be deemed funded within
the meaning of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended
("ERISA"), despite the existence of this Trust; and

Investment Guidelines delivered to the Trustee in writing by the Company. The
Company may from time to time prior to a Change of Control amend the Investment

relying on the last Investment Guidelines it has received.

Change of Control (and prior to a Change of Control if the Company has not

the Trustee shall, consistent with the overall objective of the Trust Fund which
is the preservation of capital, invest and reinvest the Trust Fund in short-term
investments, including, without limitation, obligations issued or guaranteed by

3. ACCOUNTS; CONTRIBUTIONS
3.1. ESTABLISHMENT OF ACCOUNTS.
(a) The Trustee shall create in the Trust Fund a separate
Account for each Participant for whom a contribution has been made in accordance
with the Payment Schedule provided to the Trustee. All contributions received by
the Trustee and all other receipts of the Trustee, whether by way of dividends,
interest or otherwise for the account of the Trust Fund, may be commingled,
held, invested and, with all disbursements therefrom, accounted for by the
Trustee as a single fund. The Trust Fund shall be revalued by the Trustee as of
the last business day of each calendar quarter at current market values, as
determined by the Trustee. Net income and net investment gains and losses
(including gains and losses on the amounts contributed pursuant to Section
3.2(b)) shall be allocated by the Trustee proportionately among Participants'
Accounts as of the end of each calendar quarter based on the value of
Participants' Accounts as of the last business day of the preceding calendar
quarter. The Trustee shall maintain a record of the value of each Participant's
Account based on the aggregate value of the Trust Fund, the information provided
by the Company as to its contributions with respect to each Participant's
Account and any payments therefrom.
3.2. CONTRIBUTIONS BY THE COMPANY.
(a) The Trustee shall receive from the Company such amounts in
cash or other property acceptable to the Trustee as the Company may from time to
time determine. The Trustee shall be under no obligation to collect any such
contribution. All responsibility for the determination of the amount, timing and
type of payments made to the Trustee, or otherwise establishing a funding policy
consistent with the objectives of the Plan shall
-9-
11
be on the Company or its designee. The Company will certify to the Trustee in
writing with respect to each such contribution the amount of the contribution
being made with respect to each Participant's Account and the Trustee shall
allocate the contribution among such Accounts accordingly.
(b) In addition to contributions made to the Trust pursuant to
Section 3.2(a), the Company may from time to time deliver to the Trustee such
other amounts as may be considered necessary or appropriate to provide for the
payment of expenses of the Trust.
4. PAYMENT OF BENEFITS
4.1. PAYMENTS PRIOR TO A CHANGE OF CONTROL.
Prior to a Change of Control, solely out of the Trust Fund and
with no obligation otherwise to make any payment, the Trustee shall make such
payments as shall be directed by the Company in writing. Such directions shall
specify the Accounts to be charged in connection therewith. The Trustee may rely
and shall be fully protected in relying on such directions.
4.2. PAYMENTS ON AND AFTER CHANGE OF CONTROL.
(a) On and after the occurrence of a Change of Control in the
event of a Participant's Termination, such Participant shall provide the Trustee
with a Termination Affidavit. If the Participant is deceased, the Termination
Affidavit shall be provided by the Beneficiary who shall also supply the Trustee
with a certified copy of the death certificate of the Participant (and, where
the Beneficiary is the legal representative of the estate of a Beneficiary who
survives the Participant but dies before all benefits have been paid, a
certified copy of the death certificate of such Beneficiary), an inheritance tax
waiver and such other documents as the Trustee may require (including, without
limitation, certified copies of letters testamentary). Promptly upon receipt
thereof, the Trustee shall mail a copy of the Termination Affidavit to the
Company. The Trustee, solely out of the Trust Fund and with no obligation
otherwise to make
-10-
12
any payment, shall, as soon as administratively practicable and in conformity
with the instructions set forth in the Payment Schedule, make payments to such
Participant or Beneficiary at the times and in the manner set forth in the
Payment Schedule last received by the Trustee with respect to such Participant
or Beneficiary and consistent with the information set forth in the Termination
Affidavit. In no event will the amount payable to a Participant or Beneficiary
exceed the balance credited to such Participant's Account. The Trustee may rely
and shall be fully protected in relying on the contents of a Termination
Affidavit and all documentation and other information provided to it by the
Company or the Administrator for all purposes under this Trust Agreement as if
the Plan were deemed funded and the Company and the Administrator were "named
fiduciaries" as such term is defined in ERISA.
(b) Payments to Participants shall be made in the order of the
receipt of Termination Affidavits. In the event that the Trustee receives more
than one Termination Affidavit on the same day and the Trust Fund is not
sufficient to make all of the payments otherwise required as a result of the
receipt of such Termination Affidavits, the Trustee, after the payment of all of
its unpaid compensation and expenses, shall distribute the balance of the Trust
Fund to the Participants who have submitted such Termination Affidavits on a pro
rata basis.
4.3. PAYMENTS IN THE EVENT OF A FINAL DETERMINATION.
Notwithstanding anything contained in Section 4 of this Trust
Agreement to the contrary, if at any time (i) a Final Determination is made that
the income of the Trust Fund is taxable to the Trust as an entity and not to the
Company, or (ii) if a tax, as a result of a Final Determination, is payable by
one or more Participants in respect of any interest in the Trust Fund prior to
payment of such interest to such Participant or Participants, then, (x) in case
of the occurrence of the event described in clause (i), the Trust shall
terminate and the assets thereof shall be paid to the Company, (y) in the event
of the occurrence of the event described in clause (ii), the Trustee, solely out
of the Trust Fund and with no obligation otherwise to make any payment, shall
pay to the affected Participant and charge his Account accordingly the amount of
the tax so payable, and (z) in the event of the occurrence of the events
described in
-11-
13
both clauses (i) and (ii), the Trustee shall first pay to the affected
Participant or Participants the amount of tax so payable, and then the Trust
shall terminate and the remaining assets thereof shall be paid to the Company.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Trust Agreement, if any amounts held
in the Trust are found in a Final Determination to have been includible in gross
income of a Participant prior to payment of such amounts from the Trust, the
Trustee shall, as soon as practicable, pay such amounts to such Participant and
charge his Account accordingly. For purposes of this Section 4.3, the Trustee
shall be entitled to rely on an affidavit from a Participant (substantially in
the form annexed hereto as Exhibit D) to the effect that a Final Determination
described in clause (ii) above has occurred.
4.4. RULES GOVERNING PAYMENTS.
The Trustee shall not make any payments to Participants or
Beneficiaries from the Trust Fund except as provided in Sections 4.1, 4.2 or 4.3
even though it may be informed from another source that payments are due under
the Plan. The Trustee shall have no duty to determine the propriety or amount of
such payments or the rights of any person in the Trust Fund. Any amount paid
under Section 4.1, 4.2 or 4.3 shall be charged against such Participant's
Account and no payment with respect to a Participant's Account shall be made in
excess of the amount then credited to such Participant's Account. The
Administrator or the Company shall provide the Trustee with sufficient
information to enable it to so charge a Participant's Account. The Company shall
on a timely basis provide the Trustee with written instructions for the
reporting and withholding of any federal, state and local taxes that may be
required to be reported and withheld with respect to any amount paid under
Section 4.1, 4.2 or 4.3, and the Trustee shall comply with such written
instructions and shall pay any taxes withheld to the appropriate taxing
authorities. The Trustee may rely conclusively (and shall be fully protected in
such reliance) on the written instructions of the Company as to all tax
reporting and withholding requirements.
4.5. PAYMENT SCHEDULES.
-12-
14
Upon the execution of this Trust Agreement, the Company shall
deliver to the Trustee a list of current Participants substantially in the form
of Exhibit B and the initial Payment Schedules substantially in the form of
Exhibit B-1. The Company may from time to time add additional Payment Schedules
to the Trust Agreement and may from time to time amend the Payment Schedules
then in effect or substitute new Payment Schedules without the written consent
of the Participant or Participants to whom such Payment Schedules relate;
provided, however, that following a Change of Control the Company shall not have
the power to add or substitute Payment Schedules nor may the Company amend a
Payment Schedule without the written consent of the Participant to whom such
Payment Schedule relates. The Trustee may rely and shall be fully protected in
relying on the contents of a Payment Schedule for all purposes under this Trust
Agreement without inquiry until it receives an amendment thereto or a new
Payment Schedule in substitution thereof to the extent permitted hereunder.
4.6. DESIGNATION OF BENEFICIARIES.
At the time that the Company first submits a Payment Schedule
with respect to a Participant, it shall ascertain from such Participant the
identity of such Participant's Beneficiary and shall identify such Beneficiary
on the initial Payment Schedule submitted to the Trustee with respect to such
Participant. In submitting a Payment Schedule with a Beneficiary designated
thereon, the Company shall be deemed to certify that such designation accurately
reflects the Participant's instructions to the Company. At any time, a
Participant may revoke or change a Beneficiary designation without the consent
of any prior Beneficiary by mailing or delivering a written Change or Revocation
of Beneficiary Designation substantially in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit E
to the Trustee at the address set forth in Section 8.3(b); provided, however,
that no change or revocation of a designation shall be valid unless it is
actually received by the Trustee during the Participant's lifetime. The Trustee
may rely and shall be fully protected in relying on the last Beneficiary
designation in its possession as of the date of a Participant's death.
4.7. COMPANY'S CONTINUING OBLIGATIONS.
- 13 -
15
Notwithstanding any provisions of this Trust Agreement to the
contrary, the Company shall remain obligated to pay the Benefits under the Plan.
To the extent the amount in a Participant's Account is not sufficient to pay any
Benefit when due, the Company shall pay such deficiency directly to the
Participant. Nothing in this Trust Agreement shall relieve the Company of its
liabilities to pay the Benefits except to the extent such liabilities are met by
the application of Trust Fund assets.
4.8. EXCESS AMOUNTS.
To the extent there remains an amount credited to a
Participant's Account after his Benefits have been paid in full, such excess
shall be reallocated as of the end of that calendar quarter to the remaining
Accounts of all other Participants who then have an Account in the Trust Fund in
proportion to their respective Account balances. After all of the Benefits have
been paid in full, the Trust shall terminate and, after the payment of any
unpaid expenses, the assets of the Trust Fund (if any) shall be transferred to
the Company.
4.9. COMPANY'S INTENT.
It is the intention of the Company to have each Account
established hereunder treated as a separate account designed to satisfy the
Company's legal liability under the applicable Agreement in respect of the
Participant for whom such Account has been established, and to have the balance,
if any, in each such Account revert to the Company after all of the Company's
legal liabilities with respect to Benefits under all of the Plan have been met.
The Company, therefore, agrees that all income, deductions and credits of each
such Account belong to it as owner for income tax purposes and will be included
on the Company's income tax returns.
5. CONCERNING THE TRUSTEE
5.1. NOTICES TO THE TRUSTEE.
- 14 -
16
The Trustee may rely on the authenticity, truth and accuracy
of, and will be fully protected in acting upon:
(a) any notice, direction, certification, approval or
other writing of the Company, if evidenced by an instrument signed in the name
of the Company by an Authorized Officer; and
(b) any copy of a resolution of the Board of
Directors of the Company, if certified by the Secretary or an Assistant
Secretary of the Company under its corporate seal; or
(c) any notice, direction, certification, approval or
other writing, oral or other transmitted form of instruction received by the
Trustee and believed by it to be genuine and to be sent by or on behalf of the
Administrator.
5.2. EXPENSES OF THE TRUST FUND.
The Trustee is authorized to pay out of the Trust Fund: (a)
all brokerage fees and transfer tax expenses and other expenses incurred in
connection with the sale or purchase of investments; (b) all real and personal
property taxes, income taxes and other taxes of any kind at any time levied or
assessed under any present or future law upon, or with respect to, the Trust
Fund or any property included in the Trust Fund; (c) the Trustee's compensation
and expenses as provided in Section 5.3 hereof; and (d) all other expenses of
administering the Trust, unless promptly paid to the Trustee by the Company. To
the extent charged against the Trust Fund, all expenses described in this
Section 5.2 shall be charged proportionately against, and paid from, all
Accounts in existence at the time of such payment.
5.3. COMPENSATION OF THE TRUSTEE.
The Company will pay to the Trustee such compensation for its
services as set forth on Exhibit F as from time to time amended by the Company
and the Trustee and will reimburse the Trustee for all expenses (including
reasonable attorney's fees) incurred by the Trustee in the administration of the
Trust. If not promptly paid on request, the Trustee may charge such fees and
expenses to and pay the same from the Trust Fund. In such event, such fees and
expenses shall be charged pro rata to the Accounts in existence on the date of
such payment. The
- 15 -
17
compensation and expenses of the Trustee shall constitute a lien on the Trust
Fund.
5.4. PROTECTION OF THE TRUSTEE.
The Company shall pay and shall protect, indemnify and save
harmless the Trustee and its officers, employees and agents from and against any
and all losses, liabilities (including liabilities for penalties), actions,
suits, judgments, demands, damages, costs and expenses (including, without
limitation, attorneys' fees and expenses) of any nature arising from or relating
to any action or any failure to act by the Trustee, its officers, employees and
agents or the transactions contemplated by this Trust Agreement, including, but
not limited to, any claim made by a Participant or his beneficiary with respect
to payments made or to be made by the Trustee, any claim made by the Company or
its successor, whether pursuant to a sale of assets, merger, consolidation,
liquidation or otherwise, that this Trust Agreement is invalid or ultra xxxxx,
except to the extent that any such loss, liability, action, suit, judgment,
demand, damage, cost or expense has been determined by a final judgment of a
court of competent jurisdiction to be solely the result of the gross negligence
or willful misconduct of the Trustee, its officers, employees or agents. To the
extent that the Company has not fulfilled its obligations under the foregoing
provisions of this Section, the Trustee shall be reimbursed out of the assets of
the Trust Fund or may set up reasonable reserves for the payment of such
obligations. The Trustee assumes no obligation or responsibility with respect to
any action required by this Trust Agreement on the part of the Company or the
Administrator.
5.5. DUTIES OF THE TRUSTEE.
The Trustee will be under no duties whatsoever, except such
duties as are specifically set forth as such in this Trust Agreement, and no
implied covenant or obligation will be read into this Trust Agreement against
the Trustee. The Trustee will not be liable for any action or failure to act
except if such action or failure to act constitutes gross negligence or willful
misconduct. The Trustee will not be compelled to take any action toward the
execution or enforcement of the Trust or to prosecute or defend any suit in
respect thereof, unless indemnified to its
- 16 -
18
satisfaction against loss, cost, liability and expense; and the Trustee will be
under no liability or obligation to anyone with respect to any failure on the
part of the Company, the Administrator or a Participant to perform any of their
respective obligations under the Plan. Nothing in this Trust Agreement shall be
construed as requiring the Trustee to make any payment in excess of the amounts
held in the Trust Fund at the time of such payment or otherwise to risk its own
funds.
5.6. SETTLEMENT OF ACCOUNTS OF THE TRUSTEE.
The Trustee shall keep or cause to be kept accurate and
detailed accounts of all investments, receipts, disbursements and other
transactions hereunder. Such accounts shall be open to inspection and audit at
all reasonable times during normal business hours by any person designated by
the Company or the Administrator. At least annually after the end of each Plan
Year, the Trustee shall file with the Company and the Administrator a written
account, listing the investments of the Trust Fund and any uninvested cash
balance thereof, and setting forth all receipts, disbursements, payments, and
other transactions respecting the Trust Fund not included in any such previous
account. Any account, when approved by the Company and the Administrator, will
be binding and conclusive on the Company, the Administrator and all
Participants, and the Trustee will thereby be released and discharged from any
liability or accountability to the Company, the Administrator and all
Participants with respect to all matters set forth therein. Omission by the
Company or the Administrator to object in writing to any specific items in any
such account within sixty (60) days after its delivery will constitute approval
of the account by the Company and the Administrator. No other accounts or
reports shall be required to be given to the Company, the Administrator or a
Participant except as stated herein or except as otherwise agreed to in writing
by the Trustee. The Trustee shall not be required to file, and no Participant or
Beneficiary shall have right to compel, an accounting, judicial or otherwise, by
the Trustee.
5.7. RIGHT TO JUDICIAL SETTLEMENT.
- 17 -
19
Nothing contained in this Trust Agreement shall be construed
as depriving the Trustee of the right to have a judicial settlement of its
accounts, and upon any proceeding for a judicial settlement of the Trustee's
accounts or for instructions the only necessary parties thereto in addition to
the Trustee shall be the Company, in the case of a proceeding commenced prior to
a Change of Control, or the Company and the Participants for whom Accounts are
held as part of the Trust Fund and to whom additional Benefits are payable
pursuant to a Payment Schedule then in effect (or, in the case of a deceased
Participant still entitled to Benefits from the Trust Fund, his Beneficiary), in
the case of a proceeding commenced on or after a Change of Control.
5.8. RESIGNATION OR REMOVAL OF THE TRUSTEE.
The Trustee may at any time resign and may at any time be
removed by the Company upon sixty (60) days' notice in writing; provided,
however, that following a Change of Control, the Company shall have the right to
remove the Trustee only with the written consent of two-thirds of the
Participants for whom Accounts are held as part of the Trust Fund and to whom
additional Benefits are payable pursuant to a Payment Schedule then in effect.
5.9. APPOINTMENT OF SUCCESSOR TRUSTEE.
In the event of the resignation or removal of the Trustee, or
in any other event in which the Trustee ceases to act, a successor trustee may
be appointed by the Company by instrument in writing delivered to and accepted
by the successor trustee; provided, however, that following a Change of Control,
the designation of a successor trustee shall be approved in writing by
two-thirds of the Participants for whom Accounts are held as part of the Trust
Fund and to whom additional Benefits are payable pursuant to a Payment Schedule
then in effect. Notice of such appointment and approval, if applicable, will be
given by the Company to the retiring trustee, and the successor trustee will
deliver to the retiring trustee an instrument in writing accepting such
appointment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if no appointment and approval, if
applicable, of a successor trustee is made by the Company within a reasonable
time
- 18 -
20
after such a resignation, removal or other event, any court of competent
jurisdiction may appoint a successor trustee after such notice, if any, solely
to the Company and the retiring trustee, as such court may deem suitable and
proper.
In the event of such resignation, removal or other event, the retiring
trustee or its successors and assigns shall file with the Company a final
account to which the provisions of Section 5.6 hereof relating to annual
accounts shall apply.
In the event of the appointment of a successor trustee, such successor
trustee will succeed to all the right, title and estate of, and will be, the
Trustee; and the retiring trustee will after the settlement of its final account
and the receipt of any compensation or expenses due it, deliver the Trust Fund
to the successor trustee together with all such instruments of transfer,
conveyance, assignment and further assurance as the successor trustee may
reasonably require. The retiring trustee will retain a lien upon the Trust Fund
to secure all amounts due the retiring trustee pursuant to the provisions of
this Trust Agreement.
5.10. MERGER OR CONSOLIDATION OF THE TRUSTEE.
Any corporation continuing as the result of any merger or
resulting from any consolidation to which merger or consolidation the Trustee is
a party, or any corporation to which substantially all the business and assets
of the Trustee may be transferred, will be deemed automatically to be continuing
as the Trustee.
6. ENFORCEMENT; CHANGE OF CONTROL; CREDITORS
6.1. ENFORCEMENT OF TRUST AGREEMENT AND LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.
The Company shall have the right to enforce any provision of
this Trust Agreement, and on or after a Change of Control, any Participant (or
if such Participant is deceased, his Beneficiary) shall have the right as a
beneficiary of the Trust to enforce any provision of this Trust Agreement that
affects the right, title and interest of such Participant in the Trust. Except
as otherwise provided in Sections 5.6 and 5.7 hereof, in any action or
proceeding affecting the Trust, the only necessary parties shall be the Company,
the Trustee and the Participants
- 19 -
21
with respect to whom Accounts are then in existence in the Trust Fund and,
except as otherwise required by applicable law, no other person shall be
entitled to any notice or service of process. Any judgment entered in such an
action or proceeding shall, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law,
be binding and conclusive on all persons having or claiming to have any interest
in the Trust.
6.2. CHANGE OF CONTROL.
A Change of Control means the occurrence of any of the following:
(a) The members of the Board of Directors of the Company at
the beginning of any consecutive twenty-four calendar month period (the
"Incumbent Directors") cease for any reason other than due to death to
constitute at least a majority of the members of the Board of Directors of the
Company, provided that any director whose election, or nomination for election
by the Company's stockholders, was approved by a vote of at least a majority of
the members of the Board of Directors of the Company still in office who were
members of the Board of Directors of the Company at the beginning of such
twenty-four calendar month period, shall be deemed an Incumbent Director;
(b) Any "person", including a "group" (as such terms are used
in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 ("Act"), but
excluding the Company, any of its Affiliates, or any employee benefit plan of
the Company or any of its Affiliates) is or becomes the "beneficial owner" (as
defined in Rule 13(d)(3) under the Act), directly or indirectly, of securities
of the Company representing the greater of 30% or more of the combined voting
power of the Company's then outstanding securities;
(c) The stockholders of the Company shall approve a definitive
agreement (1) for the merger or business combination of the Company with or into
another corporation if (A) a majority of the directors of the surviving
corporation were not directors of the Company immediately prior to the effective
date of the merger or (B) the stockholders of the Company immediately prior to
the effective date of such merger own less than 50% of the combined voting power
in the then outstanding securities in such
- 20 -
22
surviving corporation or (2) for the sale or other disposition of all or
substantially all of the assets of the Company; or
(d) The purchase of the common stock of the Company pursuant
to any tender or exchange offer made by any "person", including a "group" (as
such terms are used in Section 13(d) of the Act, other than the Company, any of
its Affiliates, or any employee benefit plan of the Company or any of its
Affiliates), for 30% more of the common stock of the Company.
Notwithstanding the foregoing definition, (i) no Change of
Control shall be deemed to have occurred for purposes of this Trust Agreement
unless and until the Trustee has actual knowledge from a Reliable Source, not
including a Participant, of such Change of Control, and (ii) the Trustee shall
not be deemed to have actual knowledge of any Change of Control as defined in
Section 6.2(a) until it has received a report signed by a majority of the board
of directors referred to in such Section indicating that they have not approved
of the change in the composition of the board of directors referred to in such
Section.
6.3. INSOLVENCY OF THE COMPANY.
(a) If at any time (i) the Company or a person claiming to be
a creditor of the Company alleges in writing to the Trustee that the Company has
become Insolvent, (ii) the Trustee is served with any order, process or paper
from which it appears that an allegation to the effect that the Company is
Insolvent has been made in a judicial proceeding or (iii) the Trustee has actual
knowledge of a current report or statement from a nationally recognized credit
reporting agency or from a Reliable Source to the effect that the Company is
Insolvent, the Trustee shall discontinue payment of Benefits under this Trust
Agreement, shall hold the Trust Fund for the benefit of the Company's creditors,
and shall resume payment of Benefits under this Trust Agreement in accordance
with Section 4 hereof only upon receipt of an order of a court of competent
jurisdiction requiring such payment or if the Trustee has actual knowledge of a
current report or statement from a nationally recognized credit reporting agency
or other Reliable Source (other than a Reliable Source described in clause (iii)
of the definition thereof) to
- 21 -
23
the effect that the Company is not Insolvent; provided, however, that in the
event that payment of Benefits was discontinued by reason of a court order or
injunction, the Trustee shall resume payment of Benefits only upon receipt of an
order of a court of competent jurisdiction requiring such payment. The Company
and its Chief Executive Officer shall be obligated to give the Trustee prompt
written notice in the event that the Company becomes Insolvent. The Trustee
shall not be liable to anyone in the event Benefits are discontinued pursuant to
this Section 6.3.
(b) If the Trustee discontinues payment of Benefits pursuant
to Section 6.3(a) and subsequently resumes such payment, the first payment to a
Participant for his Account following such discontinuance shall include an
aggregate amount equal to the difference between the payments which would have
been made to such Participant under this Trust Agreement but for Section 6.2(a)
and the aggregate payments actually made to such Participant by the Company (as
certified to the Trustee by the Participant in writing) during any such period
of discontinuance, plus interest on such amount at a rate equivalent to the net
rate of return earned by the Trust Fund during the period of such
discontinuance.
(c) In the event that at any time any amount is paid from the
Trust Fund to creditors of the Company, the Company shall upon demand by the
Trustee deposit into the Trust Fund a sum equal to the amount paid by the Trust
Fund to such creditors. The Trustee shall be under no obligation to collect any
such deposit.
7. AMENDMENT, REVOCATION AND TERMINATION
7.1. AMENDMENT.
(a) Prior to the occurrence of a Change of Control, the
Company may from time to time amend in writing, in whole or in part, any or all
of the provisions of this Trust Agreement with the written consent of the
Trustee but without the consent of any Participant.
(b) At any time upon or after the occurrence of a Change of
Control, the Company may from time to time amend in
- 22 -
24
writing, in whole or in part, any or all of the provisions of this Trust
Agreement with the written consent of the Trustee and two-thirds of the
Participants for whom Accounts are held as part of the Trust Fund and to whom
additional Benefits are payable pursuant to a Payment Schedule then in effect.
In addition, the Trust Agreement may be amended by the Company at any time with
the written consent of the Trustee, but only to the extent such amendment is
required by law or is necessary or desirable to prevent adverse tax consequences
to Participants. In the event that the Company proposes to adopt an amendment to
the Trust Agreement pursuant to the preceding sentence, the Company shall
provide the Trustee with an opinion of counsel reasonably acceptable to the
Trustee and in form and substance satisfactory to the Trustee to the effect that
such amendment is required by law or is necessary or desirable to prevent
adverse tax consequences to Participants. The Trustee may rely and shall be
fully protected in relying on such opinion without inquiry.
7.2. REVOCABILITY.
Prior to a Change of Control, the Trust shall be revocable by
the Company, all or any part of the Trust Fund shall be recoverable by the
Company and the Participants shall have no right to any part of the Trust Fund.
Upon a Change of Control, the Trust shall become irrevocable, and shall be held
for the exclusive purpose of providing the Benefits to Participants and their
beneficiaries and defraying expenses of the Trust in accordance with the
provisions of this Trust Agreement. Once the Trust has become irrevocable, no
part of the income or corpus of the Trust Fund shall be recoverable by the
Company. Notwithstanding anything in this Trust Agreement to the contrary, the
Trust Fund shall at all times be subject to the claims of creditors of the
Company as provided in Section 6.3 of this Trust Agreement.
7.3. TERMINATION.
(a) Prior to a Change of Control, the Company may revoke and
terminate the Trust at any time, in its sole discretion, without the approval of
any Participant, upon notice in writing to the Trustee. As soon as practicable
following the Trustee's receipt of such notice, the Trustee shall settle its
final accounts in accordance with Section 5.6 hereof and, after
- 23 -
25
the receipt of any unpaid fees and expenses, shall distribute the balance of the
Trust Fund as directed by the Company.
(b) Following a Change of Control the Trust shall terminate
after the Trustee shall have made all payments required by Section 4, and, after
the Trustee's final accounts have been settled in accordance with Section 5.6
hereof and after the receipt of any unpaid fees and expenses, the Trustee shall
distribute the balance of the Trust Fund as directed by the Company.

FORM OF OPINION OF COUNSEL
____________, 199_
The Bank of New York
Xxx Xxxx Xxxxxx
Xxx Xxxx, Xxx Xxxx 00000
Gentlemen:
We have acted as counsel to _____________________ (the "Company") in
connection with the negotiation, execution and delivery by the Company of the
Trust Agreement, dated as of _______, 199_, between the Company and The Bank of
New York, as Trustee (the "Trust Agreement") establishing the _______________
Trust (the "Trust").
We are familiar with the proceedings taken by the Company in connection
with the Trust Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby. In addition,
we have examined such records, certificates and other documents and such
questions of law as we have considered necessary or appropriate for the purposes
of this opinion.
Based upon, and subject to, the foregoing it is our opinion that:
1. The Company is a corporation duly constituted, validly existing and
in good standing under the laws of the State of ________________, the Company is
authorized to do business in the State of New York and other such jurisdictions
in which it is currently doing business; and the Company has all requisite power
and authority to establish the Trust and to execute, deliver and perform its
obligations under the Trust Agreement.
2. The execution, delivery and performance by the Company of the Trust
Agreement has been duly authorized by all necessary action on the part of the
Company, and does not and will not (a)
30
violate any provision of any law, rule or regulation of the State of New York,
the State of ________________, or of the Federal law of the United States of
America or any order, writ, judgment, decree, determination or award known to us
and having applicability to the Company, or (b) result in a breach of or
constitute a default under any agreement or instrument, in each case known to
us, to which the Company is a party or by which the Company or its properties
may be bound or affected.
3. The Trust Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the
Company and constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Company,
enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms, except as
enforcement may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium
and other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights generally
and by general principles of equity as may be applied by a court.
4. The Trust constitutes a "grantor trust" within the meaning of
Sections 671 et. seq. of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, with
respect to which the Company is deemed to be the "owner" of all portions of the
Trust and is required to report the income thereof on its income tax return.
In rendering the foregoing opinions with respect to the Trust
Agreement, we have assumed the due authorization, execution and delivery of such
Trust Agreement on the part of The Bank of New York, as Trustee, and the
legality, validity, binding effect on and enforceability against the Trustee,
except as enforcement may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization,
moratorium and other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditor's rights
generally and by general principles of equity as may be applied by a court.
Very truly yours,
