ARTICLE II

The Plans

2.1 Plans & Agreements Subject to Trust. The plans, agreements, and other arrangements that are subject to this Trust (each a “Plan” and, collectively the “Plans”) are listed on Schedule 2.1 hereto. Prior to a Potential Change in Control, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Compensation Committee”) may from time to time designate such additional plans, agreements, and other arrangements to be subject to this Trust, or delete any Plan from this Trust. The Company shall immediately notify the Trustee and the Recordkeeper in writing of any such changes. No Plans may be added or deleted from this Trust at any time after a Change in Control.

2.2 Liability for Payments. The Company (or certain of its subsidiaries) shall continue to be liable to the Plan Participants to make all payments required under the terms of the Plans to the extent such payments have not been made pursuant to this Trust Agreement. Distributions made from the Trust to or for Plan Participants in respect of the Plans pursuant to Article VII hereof, shall, to the extent of such distributions, satisfy the Company’s (or certain of its subsidiaries’) obligation to pay benefits to such Plan Participants under the Plans.

ARTICLE III

Establishment of Trust

3.1 Principal of Trust. The Trustee shall hold such sums of money and other property as from time to time deposited by the Company and accepted by the Trustee in trust to be held, administered and disposed of by the Trustee as provided in this Trust Agreement.

3.2 Term and Revocability. The Trust hereby established is revocable by the Company, but shall become irrevocable upon the occurrence of a Potential Change in Control or a Change in Control. At any time following the occurrence of a Potential Change in Control, this Trust may not be terminated either by the Company or the Board of Directors (or any member or committee thereof). Upon or after a Change in Control, this Trust shall not terminate until the date on which Plan Participants and their beneficiaries are no longer entitled to benefits pursuant to the terms of the Plans. Upon termination of the Trust any assets remaining in the Trust shall be returned to the Company.

3.3 Grantor Trust. The Trust is intended to be a grantor trust, of which the Company is the grantor, within the meaning of subpart E, part I, subchapter J, chapter 1, subtitle A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and shall be construed accordingly. The Company represents and warrants to the Trustee that: (i) the Plans for which benefits are or may become payable under this Trust are not subject to Part 4 of Title I of ERISA; and (ii) each of the Plans meets and will meet one of the following requirements: (A) the Plan covers, and will cover, only a select group of management or highly compensated employees as contemplated by Section 401(a) of ERISA and interpretations, opinions, and rulings of the Department of Labor thereunder; (B) the Plan is an excess benefit plan under Section 3(36) of ERISA; or (C) the Plan is an employee welfare benefit plan under Section 3(1) of ERISA. The Company shall indemnify and hold harmless the Trustee, its parent, subsidiaries and affiliates and each of their respective officers, directors, employees and agents from and against all liability, loss and expense, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses suffered or incurred by any of the foregoing indemnitees as a result of a breach of the foregoing representation and warranty. The provisions of this subsection shall survive termination of this Agreement.

3.4 Segregation of Funds; Rights of Creditors. The principal of the Trust, and any earnings thereon shall be separate and apart from other funds of the Company and shall be used exclusively for the uses and purposes of Plan Participants and general creditors as herein set forth. Plan 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 Plans and this Trust shall be mere unsecured contractual rights of Plan Participants and their beneficiaries against the Company. Any assets held by the Trust will be subject to the claims of the Company’s general creditors under federal and state law in the event of Insolvency.

ARTICLE IV

Administration of Trust

4.1 Authority and Duties of the Committee. It shall be the duty of the Committee, on the basis of information supplied to it by the Company, to determine

(a) the eligibility of each Plan Participant to receive payment of benefits under this Trust with respect to each Plan; and

(b) the manner and time of payment of the benefits payable hereunder.

The Recordkeeper shall determine, on behalf of the Committee, the amount of any benefit payable under this Trust to which each Plan Participant may be entitled. The Trustee, on behalf of the Company, shall make such payments as the Committee instructs the Trustee to pay, to Plan Participants from the Benefits Fund, as provided in Article VII. The Committee shall have the full power and authority to manage claims and appeals as set forth in the respective Plan, and to construe, interpret and administer such Plan in accordance with its terms and provisions.

Prior to any Change in Control, the non-employee members of the Committee (if any) shall be compensated by the Company at a rate to be determined by the Chief Executive Officer. Following a Change in Control, any member of the Committee whose employment with the Company has terminated in connection with the Change in Control shall be compensated by the Company for services performed under this Trust at the rate in effect for any non-employee members immediately preceding a Change in Control, or, if no such rate is in effect, in an amount not to exceed 25% of such individual’s annual base salary as paid by the Company immediately prior to his or her employment termination date; provided, that if the Company fails to pay such compensation promptly following a demand therefore and the Committee so directs the Trustee, such compensation shall be paid by the Trustee from the Legal Defense Fund.

4.2 Action by the Committee. A majority of the members of the Committee shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at a meeting of the Committee. Any action of the Committee may be taken upon the affirmative vote of a majority of the members of the Committee at a meeting, or without a meeting by mail, telegraph, telephone or electronic communication device; provided, however, that all of the members of the Committee are informed of their right to vote on the matter before the Committee and of the outcome of the vote thereon.

4.3 Records, Reporting and Disclosure. The Committee shall keep all individual and group records relating to Plan Participants and former Plan Participants and all other records necessary for the proper administration and operation of the Trust. Such records shall be made available to the Company and to each Plan Participant for examination during business hours except that a Plan Participant shall examine only such records as pertain exclusively to the examining Plan Participant and to the Plan, in general. The Committee shall prepare and shall file as required by law or regulation all reports, forms, documents and other items required by the Internal Revenue Code, and every other applicable statute, each as amended, and all regulations thereunder (except that the Company, as payer of the benefits, shall prepare and distribute to the proper recipients all forms relating to withholding of income or wage taxes, Social Security taxes, and other amounts which may be similarly reportable).

All income, deductions and credits attributable to the Trust belong to the Company and will be included on the Company’s income tax returns. The Company shall pay any federal, state, local, or other taxes imposed or levied with respect to the assets and/or income of the Trust or any part thereof under existing or future laws. Upon furnishing the Trustee with evidence reasonably required by the Trustee of any such tax payments made directly by the Company, the Company shall be entitled to receive reimbursement from the assets of the Trust for the full amount of such taxes paid by it.

4.4 Bonding. The Committee shall arrange any bonding that may be required by law, but no amount in excess of the amount required by law (if any) shall be required by the Trust.

ARTICLE V

Potential Change in Control; Change in Control

5.1 Potential Change in Control. If a Potential Change in Control occurs, the Company shall immediately notify the Trustee and Recordkeeper and shall cause the Required Funding Amount to be remitted to the Trustee as a contribution to the Trust. The Required Funding Amount shall be paid to the Trust not later than thirty (30) days after the Potential Change in Control.

5.2 Change in Control. Whenever a Change in Control is expected to occur, if the date it will occur (the “CIC Date”) is reasonably ascertainable, then (i) the Company shall notify the Trustee and the Recordkeeper of the CIC Date, (ii) the Required Funding Amount shall be determined as of the CIC Date, and (iii) to the extent that the amount then held in the Benefits Fund and Legal Defense Fund is less than the Benefits Fund Amount or Legal Defense Fund Amount, respectively, the Company shall cause the amount of the shortfall to be remitted to the Trustee as an irrevocable contribution to the Trust not later than one (1) business day before the CIC Date. If a Change in Control occurs, the Company shall immediately notify the Trustee and Recordkeeper. In addition, the Required Funding Amount shall be determined as of the actual date of the Change in Control and, to the extent that the amount then held in the Trust Corpus (other than the Legal Defense Fund) is less than the Required Funding Amount, the Company shall immediately cause the amount of the shortfall to be remitted to the Trustee, as an irrevocable contribution to the Trust, not later than one (1) business day after the Change in Control. The Trustee may rely conclusively on a notice from the Company that a Change in Control has occurred, and the Trustee shall be fully protected in failing to act in the absence of such notice from the Company.

5.3 Method of Funding. The contribution of the Required Funding Amount shall be made in (1) cash or in property acceptable to the Trustee having a fair market value equal to the Required Funding Amount, or in a combination of the two and/or (2) a standby, irrevocable (except as provided in Section 9.1) letter of credit, drawn on a bank acceptable to the Trustee, provided that the fair market value of the contribution in the aggregate shall equal the Required Funding Amount.

5.4 Additional Contributions; Sufficiency of Funds. The Company shall be obligated to continue to cause additional contributions (or increases to the amount that may be drawn against the letter of credit) to be made as may be necessary from time to time to insure that at all times following a Change in Control, the Trust contains sufficient funds, on a current basis, to pay all benefits due to the Plan Participants (or their designated beneficiaries) under the Plans, together with all reasonably anticipated claims against the Legal Defense Fund. The Trustee shall be under no duty to determine the sufficiency, or to enforce the making, of such contributions by the Company.

5.5 Additional Plans. In the event the Compensation Committee designates additional Plans that are subject to this Trust Agreement, or the Plans subject to this Trust Agreement are amended, after a Potential Change in Control or Change in Control, the Treasurer of the Company shall, unless the Trust Corpus shall theretofore have been released pursuant to Section 9.1 hereof, recalculate the Benefits Fund Amount. If the amount so calculated exceeds the fair market value of

the assets then held in trust in the Benefits Fund, the Company shall promptly (and in no event later than thirty (30) days from the date of such recalculation):

(a) pay to the Trustee an amount of cash (or property acceptable to the Trustee having a fair market value equal to such amount, or some combination thereof) equal to such excess; or

(b) increase the amount that may be drawn against the letter of credit described in Section 5.3, above, to cover such excess.

If the Benefits Fund Amount so calculated is less than the fair market value of the assets held in trust, the Trustee shall retain such difference.

5.6 Calculation of Required Funding Amount. As soon as practicable, but in no event later than fifteen (15) days following the occurrence of any Potential Change in Control, the Treasurer of the Company shall compute the Required Funding Amount. Immediately thereafter, the Recordkeeper shall review the Treasurer’s calculations of the Required Funding Amount (including without limitation the calculations under Section 5.5 hereof). The Recordkeeper shall complete its review prior to the thirtieth (30th) day following any Potential Change in Control. If the Recordkeeper concludes that the amounts calculated by the Treasurer are not sufficient to permit the Trustee to make all payments due or to become due under the Plans, together with the fees and expenses described in Sections 6.2 and 6.3, the Treasurer shall increase the Required Funding Amount to the amount so calculated by the Recordkeeper. The Company agrees not to challenge the calculations of the Treasurer, and both the Company and the Treasurer agree not to challenge the calculations of the Recordkeeper, and the Trustee shall have no right or obligation to challenge or question such calculation with regard to the Required Funding Amount (including, without limitation, the amount determined under Section 5.5 hereof) upon and after a Potential Change in Control or Change in Control. No Plan Participant shall have the right to challenge the calculations of either the Treasurer or the Recordkeeper with respect to the Required Funding Amount.

5.7 Payment of Required Funding Amount.

(a) Interest on Delinquent Payments. The Company agrees to pay interest on any delinquent payment of the Required Funding Amount from the date on which such payment is required to be made pursuant to this Article V, based upon the daily average of the prime rate charged by Trustee during the period of such deficiency.

(b) Discount Rate for Distributions Due Later. In determining the Required Funding Amount with respect to any payment or series of payments expected to be due more than one (1) year after the date as of which the Required Funding Amount is to be determined, the present value of such payment or series of payments shall be calculated by using a discount rate equal to one percentage point less than the then lowest annual yield to maturity on United States Treasury obligations having then remaining maturities approximately equal to the maturity of the payment or payments being valued.

(c) Schedule of Accounts. Each payment by the Company pursuant to this Article V shall be accompanied by a schedule delivered to the Recordkeeper (as described in Section 7.3 hereof) of the individual Plans for whose accounts such payment is being made, which schedule sets forth the amounts delivered in respect of each of the Plans. The Recordkeeper shall maintain in an equitable manner an account for each Plan (the “Account”). Each Account shall consist of contributions to and payments from the Benefits Fund which are allocable to the Plan, and earnings thereon, less disbursements therefrom attributable to the interest of the Plan in the entire Benefits Fund. On a monthly basis, the Trustee shall advise the Recordkeeper in writing regarding the actual amounts received by the Trust from the Company, and paid out from the Trust, in respect of each of the Plans.

5.8 Sunset Provision. Subject to Section 10.3, anything to the contrary in this Trust Agreement or the Plans notwithstanding, in the event of a Potential Change in Control, the procedures, rules and responsibilities that apply under this Article V and under Sections 2.1, 3.2, 8.5, 7.2, 7.3, 11.2 and 16.3(b) hereof solely as a result of the occurrence of such Potential Change in Control shall cease to apply six (6) months after delivery of the Required Funding Amount to the Trustee if no Change in Control shall have occurred during such six-month period, and the Board of Directors determines, and so certifies to the Trustee, that a Change in Control is not imminent, pending, or reasonably expected to occur (or upon such certification by non-employee members of the Board of Directors acting unanimously before the expiration of such six-month period), or upon the earlier termination of this Trust in a manner consistent with Section 3.2 hereof. Such new six-month period shall commence in the event of and upon the date of any subsequent Potential Change in Control.

6.1 Legal Defense Fund. The Trustee shall establish within the Trust a separate fund, hereinafter referred to as the “Legal Defense Fund”. The Legal Defense Fund shall consist of the portion of the Company’s contributions to the Trust that represent the Legal Defense Fund Amount, or are otherwise designated for the Legal Defense Fund in writing at the time of contribution, together with all income, gains and losses and proceeds from the investment, reinvestment and sale thereof, less all payments therefrom and expenses charged thereto in accordance with the provisions of this Article. The Legal Defense Fund shall be held and administered by the Trustee for the purpose of defraying the costs and expenses incurred by Plan Participants and beneficiaries

associated with the enforcement of their rights under the Plans by litigation or other legal action and the Trustee in performing its duties under this Article. The Legal Defense Fund shall be maintained and administered as a separate segregated account, provided, however, that the assets of the Legal Defense Fund may be commingled with all other assets of the Trust solely for investment purposes.

6.2 Trustee’s Duties. If, at any time after a Change in Control or during a Potential Change in Control, legal proceedings are brought against the Trustee by the Company or any other party seeking to invalidate any of the provisions of this Trust Agreement as they relate to the Trust, or seeking to enjoin the Trustee from paying any amounts from any Trust or from taking any other action otherwise required or permitted to be taken by the Trustee under this Trust Agreement with respect to any Plan, the Trustee shall take all steps that may be necessary in such proceeding to uphold the validity and enforceability of the provisions of this Trust Agreement as they relate to such Plan. The Trustee shall be empowered to retain counsel and other appropriate experts, including actuaries, and accountants, to assist it in making any determination under this Section. All costs and expenses incurred by the Trustee in connection with any such proceeding (including, without limitation, the payment of reasonable fees, costs and disbursements of any counsel, actuaries, accountants or other experts retained by the Trustee in connection with such proceeding) shall be charged to and paid from the Legal Defense Fund. To the extent the Trustee’s legal fees and expenses exceed the amount available in the Legal Defense Fund and the Company does not pay them upon demand by the Trustee, such fees and expenses shall be paid by the Trustee from the assets of the Trust Corpus.

6.3 Claims If, at any time after a Change in Control, a Plan Participant or beneficiary notifies the Trustee in writing that the Company has refused to pay a claim asserted by such Plan Participant or beneficiary under any Plan, the Plan Participant or beneficiary (“Claimant”) may demand payment from the Legal Defense Fund with respect to expenses incurred in connection with the initiation or defense of any litigation or other legal action by or against the Company or any director, officer, stockholder or other person affiliated with the Company, with respect to such claim. Such demand shall be made in writing by delivering to the Trustee within 90 days of the date the Claimant incurs such expenses (i) a certification signed by the Claimant that the Company is in default in paying its obligations under the Plan, and (ii) itemizing in reasonable detail in a form acceptable to the Trustee the expenses payable by the Legal Defense Fund.

6.4 Insufficient Funds. In the event that on the date a Claimant’s expenses are to be paid from the Legal Defense Fund other expenses have been claimed but not yet paid and the aggregate amount of all claims exceeds the amount available in the Legal Defense Fund, the

Company shall be obligated to make an additional contribution to the Legal Defense Fund. In the event the Company fails to make such additional contribution, the Trustee shall promptly advise the Claimant and shall pay only that portion of the amount of the claim to each Claimant determined by multiplying such Claimant’s expenses by a fraction, the numerator of which is the amount held in the Legal Defense Fund, and the denominator of which is the amount of the aggregate expenses claimed by all Claimants.

Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, the Trustee shall be required to act under this Section only to the extent there are sufficient amounts available in the Legal Defense Fund to defray the costs and expenses the Trustee reasonably anticipates will be incurred in connection with such action.

ARTICLE VII

The Benefits Fund

7.1 Benefits Fund. The Trustee shall establish within the Trust a separate fund, hereinafter referred to as the “Benefits Fund”. The Benefits Fund shall consist of the portion of the Company’s contributions to the Trust that represent the Benefit Amount, or are otherwise designated for the Benefits Fund in writing at the time of contribution, together with all income, gains and losses and proceeds from the investment, reinvestment and sale thereof, less all payments therefrom and expenses charged thereto in accordance with the provisions of this Article VII. The Benefits Fund shall be held and administered by the Trustee for the purpose of paying Participants benefits under the Plans in accordance with the provisions of this Article VII.

7.2 Company Information. As soon as practicable, but in no event later than fifteen (15) days following the occurrence of any Potential Change in Control, the Recordkeeper shall identify to the Company in writing the information deemed necessary to enable the Recordkeeper to determine the amount of benefits payable to or with respect to each Plan Participant in each Plan, including any benefits payable after the Plan Participant’s death, and the recipient. As soon as reasonably practicable after receiving such communication from the Recordkeeper following any Potential Change in Control, the Company shall furnish the information needed by the Recordkeeper in order to determine the amount of any such benefit, and shall deliver to the Recordkeeper a letter of instructions:

(a) describing the terms of each Plan;

(b) enclosing a copy of each Plan;

(c) listing the names, addresses, and Hay points or grade levels under the salary administration program then in effect, for the Plan Participants (and beneficiaries) covered by each Plan;

(d) setting forth the timing, form of distributions, and formula or other methodology for determining the amounts to be paid to each Plan Participant and beneficiary under each Plan; and

(e) instructing the Recordkeeper how and from whom to get any other information needed to compute benefits under each Plan.

Thereafter, the Company shall regularly, at least annually, furnish revised updated information to the Recordkeeper. In the event the Company refuses or neglects to provide updated Plan Participant information, as contemplated herein, the Recordkeeper shall be entitled to rely upon the most recent information furnished to it by the Company.

7.3 Payment Schedule. Within forty-five (45) days following a Change in Control or Potential Change in Control (or when the Company otherwise makes contributions to the Trust), the Recordkeeper, on behalf of the Company, shall deliver to the Trustee a schedule (the “Payment Schedule”) that indicates:

(a) in the case of all Plans, except the Special Employee Severance Plan, the amounts payable (including the fees and expenses incurred by the Plans) in respect of each Plan Participant (and his or her beneficiaries); and

(b) in the case of the Special Employee Severance Plan, the amount reasonably expected to be payable thereunder, in order to fully fund the benefits due to those Participants then in grades 11 through 13, together with an explanation of the assumptions used by the Recordkeeper in performing its calculation.

The Payment Schedule shall be updated by the Recordkeeper as necessary, but on at least an annual basis, in order to reflect changes therein. Upon the termination of employees entitled to benefits under the Plans, the Company will notify the Recordkeeper, and the Recordkeeper will update the Payment Schedule to indicate those Plan Participants to whom benefits have become payable. Except as otherwise provided herein, the Trustee shall make payments to the Plan Participants and their beneficiaries in accordance with such Payment Schedule and shall pay such fees and expenses, unless paid by the Company. The Trustee shall make provision for the reporting and withholding of any federal, state or local taxes that may be required to be withheld with respect to any payment of benefits from the Trust and shall pay amounts withheld to the appropriate taxing authorities except to the extent that the Trustee shall have been previously advised in writing that such amounts have been reported, withheld and paid by the Company.

7.4 Entitlement to Benefits. The entitlement of a Plan Participant or his or her beneficiaries to benefits under the Plans shall be determined promptly by the Committee, and any claim for such benefits shall be considered and reviewed by the Committee under the procedures set out in the Plans. As soon as is reasonably practicable following any such review or determination by the Committee, the Committee shall give notice of its findings to the Recordkeeper, together with updated information as needed, in order to permit the Recordkeeper to make a final determination of the benefits to be paid. Upon notice of such findings by the Committee, the Recordkeeper promptly will make a final determination of the amounts payable and will notify the Committee.

7.5 Payment of Benefits. The Company may make payment of benefits directly to Plan Participants or their beneficiaries as they become due under the terms of the Plans. The Company shall notify the Trustee and Recordkeeper of its decision to make payment of benefits directly within a reasonable time prior to the time amounts are payable to Plan Participants or their beneficiaries. Within thirty (30) days of making any such direct payment, the Company shall provide the Trustee and the Recordkeeper with a certification, in a form acceptable to each, indicating the date and amount of such direct payment of benefits by the Company. The Trustee shall pay benefits to Participants and beneficiaries at the time provided in the Payment Schedule, unless advised by the Company of its decision to pay the benefit. If after the Company has indicated its intention to pay a benefit, the Trustee does not receive certification of payment from the Company, as provided in this Section, the Trustee shall pay such benefit to the Plan Participant or beneficiary in accordance with the Payment Schedule. The Trustee shall be completely protected in making any payment hereunder in accordance with the Payment Schedule.

7.6 Notice of Benefits Payable. The Recordkeeper shall notify the Plan Participant or the beneficiary of a deceased Plan Participant that the Plan Participant’s benefits under a Plan have become payable. Such notice shall include the amount of such benefits, the manner of payment (or, where appropriate, the various payment options available) and the name, address and social security number of the Plan Participant. Neither the Trustee nor the Recordkeeper shall have any responsibility for determining whether any Plan Participant or beneficiary has become entitled to any benefit under any of the Plans, or whether any Plan Participant or beneficiary has died, and each of the Trustee and the Recordkeeper shall be entitled to rely solely upon information furnished by the Committee.

7.7 Source of Payments. All benefits payable from the Benefits Fund to a Plan Participant or his beneficiary under a Plan shall be paid solely from the Account of such Plan. Upon the satisfaction of all liabilities under a Plan in respect of Plan Participants under a Plan, the Recordkeeper shall prepare and deliver to the Trustee a certification showing the balance, if any,

remaining in the Account for such Plan. Such balance shall thereupon be reallocated ratably by the Recordkeeper to the Accounts of other Plans covered by this Trust (including Accounts which may have previously been reduced to a zero balance) in the ratio that liabilities in respect of each such Plan bear to the total liabilities of all such Plans. Upon the satisfaction of all liabilities of the Company under all Plans, the Recordkeeper shall prepare and deliver a certification to the Trustee and the Trustee shall thereupon distribute the Trust Corpus to the Company.

7.8 Tax on Amounts Held in Trust Prior to Distribution. Except as otherwise provided herein, in the event of any final determination by the Internal Revenue Service or a court of competent jurisdiction, which determination is not appealable or with respect to which the time for appeal has expired, or the receipt by the Trustee of a substantially unqualified opinion of tax counsel selected by the Trustee, which determination determines, or which opinion opines, that the Plan Participants or any particular Plan Participant is subject to federal income taxation on amounts held in trust hereunder prior to the distribution to the Plan Participants or Plan Participant of such amounts, the Trustee, on receipt by the Trustee of such opinion or notice of such determination, shall pay to each Plan Participant the portion of the Trust Corpus includable in such Plan Participant’s federal gross income, less applicable taxes. The Trustee shall not be required to obtain such opinion of tax counsel unless the Internal Revenue Service, the Company, or the Recordkeeper suggests to the Trustee that any of the Plan Participants may be subject to income taxation on amounts held in the Trust prior to a distribution hereunder and Trustee has doubts with respect thereto.

In all cases, the Trustee shall be entitled to conclusively rely upon the written certification of the Board of Directors or the Chief Executive Officer of the Company when determining whether the Company is insolvent.

(c) If at any time the Trustee has determined that the Company is Insolvent, the Trustee shall discontinue payments to Plan Participants or their beneficiaries and shall hold the assets of the Trust for the benefit of the Company’s general creditors.

Subject to Section 10.3, in the event the Company delivers the Required Funding Amount to the Trustee because of a Potential Change in Control, the Trust Corpus shall be returned to the Company six (6) months after delivery of the Required Funding Amount to the Trustee if no Change in Control shall have occurred during such six-month period, and the Board of Directors determines, and so certifies to the Trustee, that a Change in Control is not imminent, pending, or reasonably expected to occur (or upon such earlier certification by the non-employee members of the Board of Directors acting unanimously), or upon the earlier termination of this Trust in a manner consistent with Section 3.2 hereof. Such six-month period shall recommence in the event of and upon the date of any subsequent Potential Change in Control.

10.3 Limitation on Reversion of Legal Defense Fund Amount. If the Trustee has knowledge of any legal claims that would entitle a Plan Participant to reimbursement of expenses under Article VI, or the Trustee reasonably believes that such claims are likely to be made, no part of the Legal Defense Fund Amount shall be returned to the Company at a time that any such claim is pending or any expense associated with such claim has not been reimbursed. In addition, in no event shall the Legal Defense Fund Amount be returned to the Company earlier than the expiration of the six-month period described in the first sentence of Section 10.1.

ARTICLE XI

Powers, Duties & Responsibilities of Trustee

11.1 Limitation of Liability. The duties and responsibilities of the Trustee shall be limited to those expressly set forth in this Trust Agreement, and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Trust Agreement against the Trustee. The Trustee shall not be liable for any act taken or omitted to be taken hereunder if taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith. The

Trustee shall also be fully protected in relying upon any notice given hereunder which it in good faith believes to be genuine and executed and delivered in accordance with this Trust Agreement. The Trustee may consult with legal counsel to be selected by it, and the Trustee shall not be liable for any action taken or suffered by it in good faith in accordance with the advice of such counsel.

11.2 Maintenance of Administrative Records. The Trustee shall maintain such books, records and accounts as may be necessary for the proper administration of the Trust Corpus and shall render to the Company on a monthly basis commencing on the first day of the month following the date the Trust Corpus includes more than the initial deposit and earnings thereon, and for each month thereafter until the termination of the Trust (and as of the date of such termination), an accounting with respect to the Trust Corpus as of the end of such month (and as of the date of such termination). After a Change in Control or a Potential Change in Control has occurred, and once the Required Funding Amount has been contributed to the Trust, the Trustee shall also provide the Recordkeeper with a copy of such monthly accounting. Unless the Company shall have filed with the Trustee written exceptions or objections to any such statement and account within one hundred eighty (180) days after receipt thereof, the Company and all Plan Participants shall be deemed to have approved such statement and account, and in such case the Trustee shall be forever released and discharged with respect to all matters and things reported in such statement and account as though it had been settled by a decree of a court of competent jurisdiction in an action or proceeding to which the Company and all Plan Participants were parties.

The Trustee shall have the right, at the expense of the Trust, to apply at any time to a court of competent jurisdiction for judicial settlement of any account of the Trustee not previously settled as herein provided or for the determination of any question of construction or for instructions. In any such action or proceeding it shall be necessary to join as parties only the Trustee and the Company (although the Trustee may also join such Plan Participants as it may deem appropriate), and any judgment or decree entered therein shall be conclusive.

11.3 Trustee Compensation and Reimbursement of Costs & Expenses. The Company shall pay all administrative costs, and Trustee’s fees and expenses. If not so paid, the fees and expenses shall be paid from the Trust Corpus, first from the Legal Defense Fund and then, if necessary, from the Benefit Fund. The Trustee shall be entitled to fees for services and expenses as mutually agreed. The Company acknowledges that as part of the Trustee’s compensation, the Trustee may earn interest on balances including disbursement balances and balances arising from purchase and sale transactions. If the Trustee advances cash or securities to the Trust for any purpose set forth in this Trust Agreement, any property at any time held as part of the Trust Corpus shall be security therefor and the Trustee shall be entitled to collect from the Trust sufficient cash

for reimbursement, and if such cash is insufficient, dispose of the assets of the Trust Corpus to the extent necessary to obtain reimbursement. To the extent the Trustee advances funds to the Trust for disbursements or to effect the settlement of purchase transactions, the Trustee shall be entitled to collect from the Trust reasonable charges established under the Trustee’s standard overdraft terms, conditions and procedures. After a Change in Control has occurred, the fees of the Trustee shall be determined by the application of the current rates then charged by the Trustee for the provision of the types of investment and Trustee services contemplated in this Trust Agreement to Trusts of a similar character. The Trustee’s entitlement to reimbursement hereunder shall not be affected by the resignation or removal of the Trustee or the termination of the Trust.

11.4 Indemnification of Trustee by Company. The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Trustee, its parent, subsidiaries and affiliates, and each of their respective officers, directors, employees and agents from and against any and all liabilities, damages, losses, claims or expenses as incurred by the Trustee or any of the foregoing indemnitees (including expenses of investigation and fees and disbursements of counsel to the Trustee and any taxes imposed on the Trust Corpus or income of the Trust) arising out of or in connection with the performance by the Trustee of its duties hereunder. This indemnification shall survive the termination of this Trust Agreement. Any amount payable to the Trustee under this Section 11.4, and not previously paid by the Company shall be paid by the Company promptly upon demand therefor by the Trustee or, if the Trustee so chooses in its sole discretion, from the Trust Corpus. In the event that payment is made hereunder to the Trustee from the Trust Corpus, the Trustee shall promptly notify the Company in writing of the amount of such payment. The Company agrees that, upon receipt of such notice, it will deliver to the Trustee to be held in the Trust an amount in cash equal to any payments made from the Trust Corpus to the Trustee pursuant to this Section 11.4, together with interest from the date of receipt of such notice based upon the daily average of the prime rate charged by the Trustee. The failure of the Company to transfer any such amount shall not in any way impair the Trustee’s right to indemnification, reimbursement and payment pursuant to this Section 11.4.

11.5 Powers of Trustee. The Trustee shall have, without exclusion, all powers conferred on Trustees by applicable law, unless expressly provided otherwise herein; provided, however, that if an insurance policy is held as an asset of the Trust upon direction of the Company, the Trustee shall have no power to name a beneficiary of the policy other than the Trust, to assign the policy (as distinct from conversion of the policy to a different form) other than to a successor trustee, or to loan to any person the proceeds of any borrowing against such policy. Notwithstanding any powers granted to the Trustee pursuant to this Trust Agreement or applicable law, the Trustee shall not

have any power that could give this Trust the objective of carrying on a business and dividing the gains therefrom, within the meaning of Section 301.7701-2 of the Procedure and Administrative Regulations promulgated pursuant to the Internal Revenue Code.

11.6 Responsibility of Trustee.

(a) The Trustee shall act with the care, skill, prudence and diligence under the circumstances then prevailing that a prudent person acting in like capacity and familiar with such matters would use in the conduct of an enterprise of a like character and with like aims, provided, however, that the Trustee shall incur no liability to any person for any action taken pursuant to a direction, request or approval which is contemplated by, and in conformity with, the terms of this Trust Agreement.

(b) The Trustee is not a party to, and has no duties or responsibilities under, the Plans other than those that may be expressly contained in this Trust Agreement. In any case in which a provision of this Trust Agreement conflicts with any provision in the Plans, this Trust Agreement shall control.

(c) The Trustee shall not be responsible for the title, validity or genuineness of any property or evidence of title thereto received by it or delivered by it pursuant to this Trust Agreement and shall be held harmless in acting upon any notice, request, direction, instruction, consent, certification or other instrument believed by it to be genuine and delivered by the proper party or parties.

(d) Notwithstanding anything in this Trust Agreement to the contrary, the Trustee shall not be responsible or liable for its failure to perform under this Trust Agreement or for any losses to the Trust resulting from any event beyond the reasonable control of the Trustee, its agents or custodians, including but not limited to nationalization, strikes, expropriation, devaluation, seizure, or similar action by any governmental authority, de facto or de jure; or enactment, promulgation, imposition or enforcement by any such governmental authority of currency restrictions, exchange controls, levies or other charges affecting the Trust’s property; or the breakdown, failure or malfunction of any utilities or telecommunications systems; or any order or regulation of any banking or securities industry including changes in market rules and market conditions affecting the execution or settlement of transactions; or acts of war, terrorism, insurrection or revolution; or acts of God; or any other similar event.

ARTICLE XII

Resignation and Removal of Trustee

12.1 Resignation of Trustee. The Trustee may resign at any time by written notice to the Company, which shall be effective sixty (60) days after receipt of such notice unless the Company and Trustee agree otherwise. If a Change in Control shall previously have occurred, the Trustee shall give such resignation notice, in writing, to the Company and the members of the Incumbent Board then serving on the Board of Directors, specifying a date (not less than sixty (60) days after the giving of such notice) when such resignation shall take effect.

12.2 Removal and Substitution of Trustee. The Company, or if a Change in Control shall previously have occurred, the members of the Incumbent Board then serving on the Board of Directors (or, if there are no members of the Incumbent Board then serving on the Board of Directors, then by affirmative vote of at least three-fourths (3/4) of the then-current Board of Directors), may at any time remove the Trustee by giving written notice thereof to the Trustee, which shall be effective sixty (60) days after receipt by the Trustee, unless the Trustee and the party removing the Trustee agree otherwise.

12.3 Appointment of Successor Trustee. Promptly after the giving of notice of resignation by the Trustee under Section 12.1 hereof, the Company, or if a Change in Control shall previously have occurred, the members of the Incumbent Board then serving on the Board of Directors (or, if there are no members of the Incumbent Board then serving on the Board of Directors, then by affirmative vote of at least three-fourths (3/4) of the then-current Board of Directors), shall appoint a successor trustee such successor trustee to become Trustee hereunder upon the effective date specified in the Notice of Resignation, or Notice of Removal, or such earlier date as agreed upon by the Trustee and the party appointing the successor trustee. On or after a Change in Control, any successor trustee appointed or otherwise designated under any provision of this Article XII, shall be a bank trust department or other third party that, on the date of appointment:

(a) may be granted corporate trustee powers under the federal or state law of the United States of America and is, in fact, duly qualified and authorized to do trust business;

(b) has total assets of at least Ten Billion Dollars ($10,000,000,000); and

(c) has a credit rating from Xxxxx’x Investors Service of “A” or better (or other comparable credit rating from another similarly well-recognized credit rating service).

12.4 Failure to Appoint Successor Trustee. If a successor trustee is not appointed within sixty (60) days after the date of the Trustee’s notice of resignation under Section 12.1 above, or the Company’s notice of removal under Section 12.3 above, then the Trustee shall be entitled to

petition a United States District Court, or any court of competent jurisdiction in the state in which the Trustee maintains its principal place of business, to appoint a successor trustee or provide instructions. All expenses incurred by the Trustee in connection with such petition shall be allowed as administrative expenses of the Trust.

12.5 Statements of Account Upon Removal or Resignation. In the event of such removal or resignation, the Trustee shall duly file with the Company and, on and after a Change in Control, the members of the Incumbent Board then serving on the Board of Directors if any, a written statement or statements of accounts and proceedings as provided in Section 11.2 hereof for the period since the last annual accounting of the Trustee, or if there has been no previous annual accounting, for the period beginning on the date that the Trust Corpus consisted of more than the initial contribution and earnings thereon. If written objections to such account are not filed as provided in Section 11.2 hereof, the Trustee shall to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law be forever released and discharged from all liability and accountability with respect to the propriety of its acts and transactions shown in such Account.

12.6 Transfer of Trust Corpus to Successor Trustee. Upon resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a successor trustee all assets shall be transferred to the successor trustee as soon as practical following the successor trustee’s appointment and acceptance, but in no event later than thirty (30) days after such appointment and acceptance, unless a longer period is agreed upon by the Trustee and such successor trustee, with the consent of the Company. The Trustee shall continue to serve until the successor trustee accepts the Trust and receives delivery of the Trust Corpus.

ARTICLE XIII

The Recordkeeper

13.1 Appointment of Recordkeeper. The Recordkeeper shall keep the records provided in Section 13.2 and otherwise carry out the duties of the Recordkeeper in this Trust Agreement. It is recognized that the Trustee shall have no responsibility hereunder for any duty assigned to the Recordkeeper hereunder, or its performance thereof. The Company shall pay the fees and expenses of the Recordkeeper directly. After a Change of Control, the Trustee is authorized and directed to pay the fees and expenses of the Recordkeeper from the Legal Defense Fund, to the extent any invoice to the Company for such amounts shall remain unpaid for 30 days.

13.2 Maintenance of Records. Except for the records dealing solely with the Trust Corpus and its investment, which shall be maintained by the Trustee, the Recordkeeper shall maintain all the records contemplated by this Trust Agreement, including the maintenance of records for the separate Accounts of each Plan under this Trust Agreement and the maintenance of Plan Participants’ interests. The Recordkeeper shall maintain individual records with respect to each Plan Participant’s interest under each Plan.

13.3 Indemnification of Recordkeeper by Company. The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Recordkeeper from and against any and all damages, losses, claims, fees or expenses as incurred (including expenses of investigation and fees and disbursements of counsel to the Recordkeeper) arising out of or in connection with the performance by the Recordkeeper of its duties hereunder. In the event that payment is required to be made to the Recordkeeper from the Trust Corpus, as provided in Section 13.1 hereof, or this Section 13.3, the Trustee shall promptly pay such amount and notify the Company in writing of the amount of such payment. The Company agrees that, upon receipt of such notice, it will deliver to the Trustee to be held in the Trust an amount in cash equal to any payments made from the Trust Corpus to the Recordkeeper pursuant to this Section 13.3, together with interest from the date of receipt of such notice based upon the daily average of the prime rate charged by the Trustee. The failure of the Company to transfer any such amount shall not in any way impair the Recordkeeper’s right to indemnification, reimbursement and payment pursuant to Section 13.1 hereof or this Section 13.3.

13.4 Resignation, Discharge & Replacement of Recordkeeper. The Recordkeeper may resign and be discharged from its duties hereunder at any time by giving notice in writing of such resignation to the Company, or if a Change in Control shall previously have occurred, to the Company and the Trustee, specifying a date (not less than sixty (60) days after the giving of such notice) when such resignation shall take effect. Promptly after such notice, the Company, or if a Change in Control shall previously have occurred, the Trustee shall appoint a successor recordkeeper, such successor recordkeeper to become Recordkeeper hereunder upon the resignation date specified in such notice. If a successor recordkeeper is not appointed within sixty (60) days after such notice, the Recordkeeper shall be entitled, at the expense of the Company, to petition a United States District Court or any court of competent jurisdiction in the state in which the Recordkeeper maintains its principal place of business to appoint its successor. The Recordkeeper shall continue to serve until its successor accepts the responsibility of recordkeeper. The Company, or if a Change in Control shall previously have occurred, the Trustee may at any time substitute a new recordkeeper by giving fifteen (15) days’ notice thereof to the Recordkeeper then acting. In the event of such removal or resignation, the Recordkeeper shall provide its successor with the records and information in its possession relating to the performance of its duties under this Trust Agreement.

On or after a Change in Control, any successor recordkeeper appointed under this Section 13.4, shall be an actuarial firm (or other third party providing such services) by reputation and experience comparable to the former Recordkeeper.
