and reports from such investment manager as may be necessary to enable the
Trustee or the CIPF to carry out their recordkeeping and reporting duties under
this Agreement.
The Trustee is hereby expressly required to use the Trust Fund for the
purpose of making payments owed to the Participants in accordance with the

NOTIFICATION IN THE EVENT OF INSOLVENCY OR BANKRUPTCY
------------------------------------------------------
8.1 Cessation of Payments - The Trustee shall cease payment of

Insolvent for purposes of this Trust Agreement if (i) the Grantor is unable to
pay its debts as they become due, or (ii) the Grantor is subject to a pending
proceeding as a debtor under the United States Bankruptcy Code.
8.2 Notification of Insolvency - The Board of Directors and the Chief
--------------------------
Executive Officer of the Grantor shall have the duty to inform the Trustee in
writing of the Grantor's Insolvency. If a person claiming to be a creditor of
the Grantor alleges in writing to the Trustee that the Grantor has become
Insolvent, then the Trustee shall determine whether the Grantor is Insolvent
and, pending such determination, the Trustee shall discontinue payment of
benefits to the Participants. Unless the Trustee has actual knowledge of the

claiming to be a creditor alleging that the Grantor is Insolvent, the Trustee

reasonable basis for making a determination concerning the Grantor's solvency.
8.2 Discontinuance of Payments - If at any time the Trustee has
--------------------------
determined that the Grantor is Insolvent, then the Trustee shall discontinue
payments to the Participants and shall hold the Trust Fund for the benefit of

way diminish any rights of the Participants to pursue their rights as general
creditors of the Grantor with respect to the benefits due under the Plan. The
Trustee shall resume the payment of Plan benefits to the participants in
accordance with this Trust Agreement only after the Trustee has determined that
the Grantor is not Insolvent (or is no
10
longer Insolvent). Provided that there are sufficient assets, if the Trustee
discontinues the payment of benefits from the Trust Fund pursuant to this
Section, and subsequently resumes such payments, the first payment following
such discontinuance shall include the aggregate amount of all payments due to
the Participants under the terms of the Plan for the period of such
discontinuance, less the aggregate amount of any payments paid to the
Participants by the Grantor in lieu of the payments provided for hereunder
during any such period of discontinuance.
SECTION IX
CONTRIBUTIONS TO TRUST FUND
---------------------------
The Grantor shall contribute to the Trust Fund on a quarterly basis

calendar quarter) such amounts as are necessary to ensure that the total value
of the Trust Fund is equal to the total Account Balances payable under the Plan.
The Trustee shall provide quarterly reports to the Grantor which provide
accurate statements of the value of the Trust Fund. The Trustee shall have no
responsibility for determining or collecting any contribution owed to the Trust
Fund by the Grantor, nor shall the Trustee be responsible for the adequacy of
the Trust Fund to meet and discharge any and all liabilities of the Plan. In
the event that the Trust Fund is insufficient to pay the full amount of the
Participant' benefits under the Plan, the Grantor shall be responsible for
satisfying such Plan benefits in full.

loan, or in any other way encumbered or alienated until such time as
distributions are authorized under the Plan and documents executed pursuant to
