adjusted for gains or losses realized on sales of FMC Technologies Stock,
appreciation or depreciation in the value of those shares owned, dividends paid
on FMC Technologies Stock to the extent not used to purchase additional units of
the FMC Technologies Stock Fund for affected Participants, and interest on the
short-term investments held by the FMC Technologies Stock Fund, payables and
receivables for pending stock trades, receivables for dividends not yet
distributed, and payables for other expenses of the FMC Technologies Stock Fund,
including principal obligations, if any, and expenses that, pursuant to Sponsor
direction, the Trustee accrues or pays from the FMC Technologies Stock Fund.

directions in accordance with this Agreement. The Sponsor shall be responsible

directions of the Named Fiduciary with respect to the acquisition and holding of
FMC Technologies Stock, unless it is clear on their face that the actions to be

rules or would be contrary to the terms of this Agreement.
(B) Each Participant with an interest in FMC Technologies Stock
(or, in the event of the Participant's death, his beneficiary) is, for purposes

meaning of section 403(a)(1) of ERISA), with respect to the shares allocated to

have the right to direct the Trustee as to the manner in which the Trustee is to

in accordance with disclosed rules, by his or her failure to respond within the
required time frame.

sales of FMC Technologies Stock.

maintain the target cash percentage and drift allowance for the FMC Technologies
Stock Fund, provided that:
(1) If the Trustee is unable to purchase or sell the total
number of shares required to be purchased or sold on such day as a result of
market conditions; or
(2) If the Trustee is prohibited by the Securities and
Exchange Commission, the NYSE or principal exchange on which the FMC

through any of its affiliates. The provision of brokerage services shall be
subject to the following:

reports which summarize all securities transaction-related charges incurred with

reorganization, consolidation, merger or similar transactions, shall, upon
consummation of such transaction, become the successor broker in accordance with
the terms of this direction provision.

direction provision until notified to the contrary. The Named Fiduciary reserves
the right to terminate this direction upon written notice to NFSLLC (or its
successor) and the Trustee, in accordance with Section 12 of this Agreement.

attached hereto as Schedule "H".
(B) Aggregate sales of units in the FMC Technologies Stock Fund on

in Schedule "J" Specified Hierarchy for the FMC Technologies Stock Fund. So long

that are requested but not processed on a given day due to insufficient
Available Liquidity shall be suspended until Available Liquidity is sufficient

(C) The Trustee shall close the FMC Technologies Stock Fund to sales
of units on any date on which trading in FMC Technologies Stock has been

of shares of FMC Technologies Stock credited to Participants' accounts for which
it has received direction from Participants.
(B) Tender Offers.
-------------
(1) Each Participant with an interest in the FMC
Technologies Stock Fund shall have the right to direct the Trustee to tender or
not to tender some or all of the shares of FMC Technologies Stock reflecting
such Participant's proportional interest in the FMC Technologies Stock Fund
(both vested and unvested). Directions from a Participant to the Trustee
concerning the tender of FMC Technologies Stock shall be communicated in
writing, or by such other means as is agreed upon by the Trustee and the
Sponsor. These directions shall be held in confidence by the Trustee and shall
not be divulged to the Sponsor, or any officer or employee thereof, or any other
person except to the extent that the consequences of such directions are
reflected in reports regularly communicated to any such persons in the ordinary
course of the performance of the Trustee's services hereunder. The Trustee shall
tender or not tender shares of FMC Technologies Stock as directed by the
Participant. Except as otherwise required by
12
law, the Trustee shall not tender shares of FMC Technologies Stock reflecting a
Participant's proportional interest in the FMC Technologies Stock Fund for which
it has received no direction from the Participant.
(2) Except as otherwise required by law, the Trustee shall
tender that number of shares of FMC Technologies Stock not credited to
Participants' accounts in the same proportion as the total number of shares of
FMC Technologies Stock credited to Participants' accounts for which it has
received instructions from Participants.
(3) A Participant who has directed the Trustee to tender
some or all of the shares of FMC Technologies Stock reflecting the Participant's
proportional interest in the FMC Technologies Stock Fund may, at any time prior
to the tender offer withdrawal date, direct the Trustee to withdraw some or all
of the tendered shares reflecting the Participant's proportional interest, and
the Trustee shall withdraw the directed number of shares from the tender offer
prior to the tender offer withdrawal deadline. Prior to the withdrawal deadline,
if any shares of FMC Technologies Stock not credited to Participants' accounts
have been tendered, the Trustee shall redetermine the number of shares of FMC
Technologies Stock that would be tendered under Section 5(e)(vii)(B)(2) if the
date of the foregoing withdrawal were the date of determination, and withdraw
from the tender offer the number of shares of FMC Technologies Stock not
credited to Participants' accounts necessary to reduce the amount of tendered
FMC Technologies Stock not credited to Participants' accounts to the amount so
redetermined. A Participant shall not be limited as to the number of directions
to tender or withdraw that the Participant may give to the Trustee.
(4) A direction by a Participant to the Trustee to tender
shares of FMC Technologies Stock reflecting the Participant's proportional
interest in the FMC Technologies Stock Fund shall not be considered a written
election under the Plan by the Participant to withdraw, or have distributed, any
or all of his withdrawable shares. The Trustee shall credit to each proportional
interest of the Participant from which the tendered shares were taken the
proceeds received by the Trustee in exchange for the shares of FMC Technologies
Stock tendered from that interest. Pending receipt of directions (through the
Administrator) from the Participant or the Named Fiduciary, as provided in the
Plan, as to which of the remaining investment options the proceeds should be
invested in, the Trustee shall invest the proceeds in the investment option
described in Schedule "C".
(viii) General. With respect to all shareholder rights other than
-------
the right to vote, the right to tender, and the right to withdraw shares
previously tendered, in the case of FMC Technologies Stock, the Trustee shall
follow the procedures set forth in subsection (A), above.

this Agreement and (2) be sent by certified or registered mail, return receipt
requested, to the Trustee c/o Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx, Fidelity Investments, 000 Xxxxxxx
Xxx, XX0X, Xxxxxxxxxxx, XX 00000-0000.
(xi) FMC Stock Fund. Trust investments in FMC Stock shall be made
--------------
via the FMC Stock Fund. Investments in the FMC Stock Fund shall consist
primarily of shares of FMC Stock. The FMC Stock Fund shall also include cash or
short-term liquid investments, in accordance with this paragraph, in amounts
designed to satisfy daily participant exchange or withdrawal requests. Such
holdings will include Colchester Street Trust: Money Market Portfolio: Class I,
or such other Mutual Fund or commingled money market pool as agreed to in
writing by the Sponsor and Trustee. The Named Fiduciary shall, after
consultation with the Trustee, establish and communicate to the Trustee in
writing a target percentage and drift allowance for such short-term liquid
investments. Subject to its ability to execute open-market trades in FMC Stock
or to otherwise trade with the Sponsor, the Trustee shall be responsible for
ensuring that the short-term investments held in the FMC Stock Fund falls within
the agreed-upon range over time. Each Participant's proportional interest in the
FMC Stock Fund shall be measured in units of participation, rather than shares
of FMC Stock. Such units shall represent a proportionate interest in all of the
assets of the FMC Stock Fund, which includes shares of FMC Stock, short-term
investments and at times, receivables and payables (such as receivables and
payables arising out of unsettled stock trades). The Trustee shall determine a
daily NAV for each unit outstanding of the FMC Stock Fund. Valuation of the FMC
Stock Fund shall be based upon: (A) the Closing Price or, if not available, (B)
the price determined in good faith by the Trustee taking into account the latest
available price of FMC Stock, as reported on the NYSE or such other principal
national securities exchange on which FMC Stock is traded. The NAV shall be
adjusted for gains or losses realized on sales of FMC Stock, appreciation or
depreciation in the value of those shares owned, dividends paid on FMC Stock to
the extent not used to purchase additional units of the FMC Stock Fund for
affected Participants, and interest on the short-term investments held by the
FMC Stock Fund, payables and receivables for pending stock trades, receivables
for dividends not yet distributed, and payables for other expenses of the FMC
Stock Fund, including principal obligations, if any, and expenses that, pursuant
to Sponsor direction, the Trustee accrues or pays from the FMC Stock Fund.

(A) The Named Fiduciary shall continually monitor the
suitability of acquiring and holding FMC Stock under the fiduciary duty rules of
section 404(a) of ERISA (as modified by section 404(a)(2) of ERISA). The Trustee
shall not be liable for any loss or expense which arises from the directions of
the Named Fiduciary with respect to the acquisition and holding of FMC Stock,
unless it is clear on their face that the actions to be taken under those
directions would be prohibited by the foregoing fiduciary duty rules or would be
contrary to the terms of this Agreement.
(B) Each Participant with an interest in FMC Stock (or, in
the event of the Participant's death, his beneficiary) is, for purposes of this
Section 5(e)(xiii), hereby designated as a "named fiduciary" (within the meaning
of section 403(a)(1) of ERISA), with respect to the shares allocated to his or
her account that were not purchased at his or her direction, and shall have the
right to direct the Trustee as to the manner in which the Trustee is to vote or
tender such shares, including the right to direct the Trustee's conduct, in
accordance with disclosed rules, by his or her failure to respond within the
required time frame.

standard trading guidelines, as they may be amended by the Trustee from time to
time, as necessary to honor exchange and withdrawal activity and to maintain the
target cash percentage and drift allowance for the FMC Stock Fund, provided
that:
(1) If the Trustee is unable to purchase or sell the
total number of shares required to be purchased or sold on such day as a result
of market conditions; or
(2) If the Trustee is prohibited by the Securities and
Exchange Commission, the NYSE or principal exchange on which FMC Stock is
traded, or any other regulatory
15

--------------------------------------
the Sponsor in writing prior to the trading date, the Trustee may purchase or
sell FMC Stock from or to the Sponsor if the purchase or sale is for adequate
consideration (within the meaning of section 3(18) of ERISA) and no commission
is charged. If Sponsor contributions (employer) or contributions made by the
Sponsor on behalf of the Participants (employee) under the Plan are to be
invested in FMC Stock, the Sponsor may transfer FMC Stock in lieu of cash to the
Trust.
(C) Use of an Affiliated Broker. The Named Fiduciary

hereby directs the Trustee to use NFSLLC to provide brokerage services in
connection with any purchase or sale of FMC Stock on the open market, except in
circumstances where the Trustee has determined, in accordance with its standard
trading guidelines or pursuant to Sponsor direction, to seek expedited
settlement of the trades. NFSLLC shall execute such directions directly or
through any of its affiliates. The provision of brokerage services shall be
subject to the following:
(1) As consideration for such brokerage services, the
Named Fiduciary agrees that NFSLLC shall be entitled to remuneration under this

may be made only by a signed agreement between the Named Fiduciary and Trustee.
(2) The Trustee will provide the Named Fiduciary with
periodic reports which summarize all securities transaction-related charges
incurred with respect to trades of FMC Stock for such Plan.
(3) Any successor organization of NFSLLC, through
reorganization, consolidation, merger or similar transactions, shall, upon
consummation of such transaction, become the successor broker in accordance with
the terms of this direction provision.
(4) The Trustee and NFSLLC shall continue to rely on
this direction provision until notified to the contrary. The Named Fiduciary
reserves the right to terminate this direction upon written notice to NFSLLC (or
its successor) and the Trustee, in accordance with Section 12 of this Agreement.
16

purchases and sales of units in the FMC Stock Fund (other than for exchanges)
shall be made on the date on which the Trustee receives from the Administrator

Specified Hierarchy for the FMC Stock Fund. So long as the FMC Stock Fund is
open for such transactions, sales of units that are requested but not processed
on a given day due to insufficient Available Liquidity shall be suspended until
Available Liquidity is sufficient to honor such transactions in accordance with
the Specified Hierarchy.
(C) The Trustee shall close the FMC Stock Fund to
sales or purchases of units, as applicable, on any date on which trading in the
FMC Stock has been suspended or substantial purchase or sale orders are
outstanding and cannot be executed.
(xvi) Securities Law Reports. The Trustee shall not be
----------------------
responsible for filing any reports required under Federal or state securities
laws with respect to the Trust's ownership of FMC Stock, including, without
limitation, any reports required under section 13 or 16 of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934. The Sponsor shall be responsible for immediately notifying
the Trustee in writing of any requirement to stop purchases or sales of FMC
Stock. The Trustee shall provide to the Sponsor such information on the Trust's

FMC Stock shall be communicated in writing, or by such other means as is agreed
upon by the Trustee and the Sponsor through the Sponsor's transfer agent. These
directions shall be held in confidence by the Trustee and shall not be divulged
to the Sponsor, or any officer or employee thereof, or any other person except
to the extent that the consequences of such directions are reflected in reports
regularly communicated to any such persons in the ordinary course of the
performance of the Trustee's services hereunder. Upon its receipt of the
directions, the Trustee shall vote the shares of FMC Stock reflecting the
Participant's proportional interest in the Stock Fund as directed by the
Participant.
(3) Except as otherwise required by law, for all undirected
shares of FMC Stock, both allocated and unallocated, the Trustee shall vote that

any other person except to the extent that the consequences of such directions
are reflected in reports regularly communicated to any such persons in the
ordinary course of the performance of the Trustee's services hereunder. The
Trustee shall tender or not tender shares of FMC Stock as directed by the
Participant. Except as otherwise required by law, the Trustee shall not tender
shares of FMC Stock reflecting a Participant's proportional interest in the FMC
Stock Fund for which it has received no direction from the Participant.
(3) Except as otherwise required by law, with respect to
all shares of FMC Stock not credited to Participants' accounts (unallocated),
the Trustee shall tender such shares in the same proportion as the total number

(4) A Participant who has directed the Trustee to tender
some or all of the shares of FMC Stock reflecting the Participant's proportional
interest in the FMC Stock Fund may, at any time prior to the tender offer
withdrawal date, direct the Trustee to withdraw some or all of the tendered
shares reflecting the Participant's proportional interest, and the Trustee shall
withdraw the directed number of shares from the tender offer prior to the tender
offer withdrawal deadline. Prior to the withdrawal deadline, if any shares of
FMC Stock not credited to Participants' accounts have been tendered, the Trustee
shall redetermine the number of shares of FMC Stock that would be tendered under
Section 5(e)(xvii)(B)(3) if the date of the foregoing withdrawal were the date
of determination, and withdraw from the tender offer the number of shares of FMC
Stock not credited to Participants' accounts necessary to reduce the amount of
tendered FMC Stock not credited to Participants' accounts to the amount so
redetermined. A Participant shall not be limited as to the number of directions
to tender or withdraw that the Participant may give to the Trustee.
(5) A direction by a Participant to the Trustee to tender
shares of FMC Stock reflecting the Participant's proportional interest in the
FMC Stock Fund shall not be considered a written election under the Plan by the
Participant to withdraw, or have distributed, any or all of his withdrawable
shares. The Trustee shall credit to each proportional interest of the
Participant from which the tendered shares were taken the proceeds received by
the Trustee in exchange for the shares of FMC Stock tendered from that interest.
Pending receipt of directions (through the Administrator) from the
19
Participant or the Named Fiduciary, as provided in the Plan, as to which of the
remaining investment options the proceeds should be invested in, the Trustee
shall invest the proceeds in the investment option described in Schedule "C".

originate a Participant loan, the Plan Participant shall direct the Trustee as
to the term and amount of the loan to be made from the Participant's individual
account. Such directions shall be made by Plan Participants by use of the system
maintained for such purpose by the Trustee or its agent. The Trustee shall
determine, based on the current value of the Participant's account on the date
of the request and any guidelines provided by the Sponsor, the amount available
for the loan. Based on the interest rate supplied by the Sponsor in accordance
with the terms of the Plan, the Trustee shall advise the Participant of such
interest rate, as well as the installment payment amounts. The Trustee shall
distribute the Participant loan agreement and truth-in-lending disclosure with
the proceeds check to the Participant. To facilitate recordkeeping, the Trustee
may destroy the original of any proceeds check (including the promissory note)
made in connection with a loan to a Participant under the Plan, provided that
the Trustee or its agent first creates a duplicate by a photographic or optical
scanning or other process yielding a reasonable facsimile of the proceeds check

Schedule "L"
INVESTMENT GUIDELINES FOR THE MIP II BLEND FUND
-----------------------------------------------
Set forth below are the objectives and guidelines to be followed by Trustee for
the administration of the MIP II Blend Fund (the "Account") within the Plan
established by the Sponsor.
I. INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES
The primary objective is to seek the preservation of capital. The secondary
objective is to attempt to provide over time a competitive level of income
consistent with the preservation of capital.
II. PORTFOLIO GUIDELINES
The Account shall be invested in the following classes of assets.
A. Universe
--------
1. Investment Contracts. Investment Contracts ("Contracts") are issued by
insurance companies, banks or other financial-services institutions (the
"Issuer(s)") and evidence debt obligations of the applicable Contract
Issuer(s) to the Plan. Contracts are either collateralized by the general
underlying assets, or certain specific underlying assets, of the Contract
Issuer(s).
All Contracts, at the time of purchase, shall be benefit-responsive,
which means that they shall provide for benefit withdrawals and
investment exchanges to be paid at full book-value (i.e., principal plus
accrued interest). However, withdrawals prompted by an
employer-initiated-event, such as withdrawals resulting from the sale of
a division of the Sponsor, a corporate layoff or the addition of Plan
investment options, for example, may be paid at the Contract's
market-value, which may be more or less than book-value.
The interest rate of a particular Contract may be either fixed or
adjusted periodically according to an index or to reflect the performance
of certain assets of the Contract Issuer. Maturity dates of Contracts may
or may not be fixed. Contracts may include, but are not limited to, the
following:
. Fixed-rate contracts
. Indexed-rate contracts
. Participating-rate contracts
. Structured contracts
. Separate-account contracts
50
Schedule "L" (continued)
---------
2. Synthetic Investment Products. Synthetic investment contract products
("Synthetic Products") are comprised of both an investment component and a
contractual component. The investment component consists of one or more
securities or shares or units of a pooled portfolio of fixed-income
securities ("Underlying Investment(s)").
Underlying Investments may include, but are not limited to, the following:
. Asset-backed securities
. Mortgage-backed securities
. Commercial mortgage-backed securities
. Collateralized mortgage obligations
. U.S. Treasuries
. Securities issued or backed by U.S. government agencies,
government-sponsored enterprises or similar U.S. government entities or
instrumentalities
. Securities issued by supranational organizations
. Structured notes and similar arrangements
. Corporate bonds
. Private placements (including Rule 144a securities)
. Units of commingled pools primarily invested in the above
. Shares of mutual funds primarily invested in the above
. Money market instruments
This investment component is "wrapped" by one or more contracts ("Wrap
Contract(s)") issued by insurance companies, banks or other
financial-services institutions (the "Wrap Contract Issuers"). Wrap
Contracts, at the time of purchase, shall be benefit-responsive, which means
that they shall provide for benefit withdrawals and investment exchanges to
be paid at the full book-value of the Underlying Investment(s) (i.e.,
principal plus accrued interest). In this manner, Wrap Contracts are
designed to decrease the normal market fluctuations associated with the
performance of the Underlying Investments. However, certain withdrawals,
similar to those described above with respect to Contracts, may be paid at
the market-value of the Underlying Investment(s) (which may be more or less
than book-value).
The interest rate of a particular Synthetic Product may be either fixed or
adjusted periodically and is in either case tied to the performance of the
Underlying Investment(s). The maturity date of a particular Synthetic
Product may be a fixed date or an indeterminate date.
3. Money Market Investments. Investments may be shares of mutual funds or
units of commingled pools that are invested primarily in money-market
instruments.
B. Credit and Diversification Limitations
--------------------------------------
1. At the time of purchase, Contract Issuers, Wrap Contract Issuers, and
Underlying Investments must be deemed to be creditworthy by Trustee.
51
Schedule "L" (continued)
---------
2. At the time of purchase, Contract Issuers and Underlying Investments must
meet the then-current diversification requirements established by Trustee.
C. Investment Contract Disclosures
-------------------------------
Detailed investment contract disclosures are attached as Appendix A.
D. Special Limitations and Restrictions
------------------------------------
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the following special
limitations and restrictions shall apply:
1. Prior to purchasing for the Plan any class of assets not contemplated by
the then-existing Investment Guidelines, the Investment Manager shall
provide, and the Sponsor shall review, the contractual terms and conditions
to investments in said class of assets that may apply with respect to the
determination at various times of (i) market value, (ii) book value and
(iii) the consequences, if any, of termination prior to maturity. If such
terms and conditions are deemed in the Sponsor's sole discretion to be
acceptable, the Investment Guidelines shall be amended, upon the mutual
written consent of the parties, to permit the Account to be invested in that
class of assets.
2. The parties hereby acknowledge and agree that these Investment Guidelines
are not to be employed for the purpose of making new investments in
additional Account assets, but rather for the primary purpose of
restructuring the Account assets from time to time as may be deemed
necessary or appropriate by the Trustee in the Trustee's sole discretion, it
being expressly understood that as the Account assets mature, all available
resulting proceeds will be directed to the Managed Income Portfolio II of
the Fidelity Group Trust for Employee Benefit Plans ("MIP II"). Except as
detailed below with respect to existing Contracts, the Trustee shall use its
best efforts to complete the Account's transition to MIP II by January 2,
2002.
With respect to the portion of the Account that is globally wrapped, the
Trustee shall, if necessary, restructure the assets underlying such global
wraps (the "Global Wrap Assets") and manage such Global Wrap Assets to an
immunization date of January 2, 2002. As the Global Wrap Assets mature, any
available proceeds will be directed to MIP II. Unless directed otherwise,
upon the latter of (1) the date that the last Global Wrap Asset matures and
(2) January 2, 2002, the Trustee shall terminate the global wraps and
transfer all available proceeds to MIP II.
The Trustee shall terminate the Contract designated CDC Financial Products,
Inc. #BR391-01 and direct any available proceeds to MIP II no later than
December 31, 2001. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, unless
directed otherwise the Trustee shall not terminate any other existing
Contracts prior to their maturity dates. Such Contracts shall be allowed to
mature naturally before any resulting proceeds are directed to MIP II.
52
Schedule "L" (continued)
---------
As used herein, the term "restructuring" may include, but is not limited
to, asset substitutions, partial or total liquidations of particular assets
and the purchase of one or more credit wraps. The parties further
acknowledge and agree that any restructuring of assets may result in
changes to the crediting rate (including reductions therein), maturity date
or other contractual terms that were in place with respect to those assets
prior to restructuring.
3. The parties acknowledge and agree that these Investment Guidelines do
not apply to, and shall be of no force and effect with respect to, the
administration by Trustee of MIP II.
4. The Sponsor hereby acknowledges and agrees that it has received from the
Trustee a copy of the Group Trust and Declaration of Separate Fund for MIP
II, and has read and understood the information contained therein.
These Investment Guidelines are effective as of the date first executed
below on behalf of the Trustee and supersede all prior written and oral
agreements regarding investments of the Account. Any deviation from or
amendment to these Investment Guidelines must be approved in writing by
both the Trustee and Sponsor prior to implementation thereof.
53
Appendix A
Investment Contract Disclosures
-------------------------------
I. FUNDING COMMITMENTS
The terms of each investment contract are based upon the information in the
bidding specifications given to potential bidders. Often detailed information
about expected deposits and withdrawals is necessary to receive the best rate
from an issuer on a given placement day.
Some investment contracts obligate the Plan to give a designated lump sum
deposit to the issuer by a specific date. Other contracts require a Plan to
direct all cash flow, including other contract maturities, to the issuer over a
set period (the funding "window"). At the end of the window, the issuer expects
a certain dollar amount to be received and may refuse to accept additional cash
flow. In either case, the funding date may be several months following the
commitment ("advance commitment" contracts).
If the Plan fails to fulfill its contractual funding obligations, there may be
financial consequences for Plan participants. This is because the issuer
conducts its financial affairs in reliance on receiving the deposits as
promised. Consequently, issuers may include shortfall funding provisions in
their contracts (particularly advance commitment contracts) in order to protect
their financial position.
The responsibility for a funding shortfall will vary depending on the underlying
cause. If participant activity (e.g. increased transfers out of the Account)
causes the shortfall, issuers will generally either assume the risk or extend
the funding date indefinitely. However, if a shortfall is caused by an
employer-initiated event (e.g. an unexpected layoff, Plan termination, or a
change in funding policy), the issuer will seek to be made whole under the terms
of the contract. If the contract has not yet been funded, the issuer may seek
reimbursement from the contract holder if the issuer incurs a financial loss.
As contract holder, Trustee intends to honor all funding commitments made on
behalf of the Plan. In the event of a shortfall, however, Trustee would only
assume responsibility to the extent that Trustee has been given funds by the
Plan for deposit and subsequently fails to remit the funds to the issuer.
II. PLAN WITHDRAWALS AND INVESTMENT EXCHANGES
An investment contract generally imposes ongoing contractual commitments on the
Plan to maintain the issuer's promise to pay the book value of the contract. If
the sponsoring employer changes Plan rules in a manner which changes
significantly the amount of "benefit-responsive" withdrawals from a contract,
the issuer may be authorized to lower the interest rate or assess a monetary
penalty. Alternatively, the issuer may refuse to pay withdrawals prompted by the
plan change. Employer-initiated events such as a large scale layoff or a sale of
part of the business may cause the same consequences. Early advance notice to
Trustee of a coming Plan change or corporate event is critical to provide
Trustee sufficient time to try to minimize any financial consequences to the
Plan.
A request by the Plan contract holder (sponsoring employer or trustee) to
withdraw funds prior to the contract maturity date may also result in the
assessment of a market value adjustment on the amount withdrawn. Some contracts
don't allow such pre-maturity withdrawals without issuer consent.
54
Due to the potential financial consequences to Plan participants in these types
of situations, funding and withdrawal decisions must be carefully weighed by
Plan sponsors, managers and trustees.
55
