Exhibit 10.4

GRANTOR TRUST AGREEMENT

This Grantor Trust Agreement (this “Trust Agreement”) is made this 16th day of
July, 2007 by and between CRYO-CELL INTERNATIONAL, INC., (the “Company”) and
WACHOVIA BANK, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION (the “Trustee”).

Recitals

WHEREAS, a Change in Control (as that term is defined in Section 15 hereof) with
respect to the Company is expected to occur on July 16, 2007;

WHEREAS, as a result of such Change in Control, four (4) employees of the
Company, listed on Exhibit A (the “Participants”), and their beneficiaries may
become entitled to benefits under the provisions of certain employment
agreements (the “Employment Agreements”), as the same have been or in the future
may be amended or restated, or any successor thereto, copies of which are
appended to this Trust Agreement as Exhibit B;

WHEREAS, the Company wishes to assure the payment to the Participants and their
beneficiaries (the Participants and their respective beneficiaries are
collectively referred to as the “Trust Beneficiaries”) of amounts due under such
Employment Agreements (the amounts so payable are collectively referred to as
the “Benefits”); and

WHEREAS, the Company hereby establishes a trust (the “Trust”) and shall
contribute to the Trust assets that shall be held therein (the “Fund”) on the
date hereof, subject to the claims of the Company’s creditors in the event the
Company becomes Insolvent (as that term is defined in Section 3(a) hereof),
until paid to the Trust Beneficiaries in such manner and at such times as
specified in the Employment Agreements and in this Trust Agreement;

NOW, THEREFORE, the parties do hereby establish the Trust and agree that the
Trust shall be comprised, held and disposed of as follows:

 

Section 1. Establishment of the Trust

(a) 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 (the “Code”), and
shall be construed accordingly.

(b) The Company shall be considered a Grantor for the purposes of the Trust.

(c) The purpose of the Trust is to provide a fund from which the obligations, if
any, of the Company to the Participants pursuant to the Employment Agreements
are fulfilled.

(d) The Trust hereby established is revocable by the Company; it shall become
irrevocable upon a Change in Control, as defined herein.

 

-1-

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(e) The Company hereby deposits with the Trustee in the Trust one-hundred
dollars and zero cents ($100.00), which shall become the principal of the Trust
to be held, administered and disposed of by the Trustee as provided in this
Trust Agreement.

(f) On the date hereof, the Company hereby makes a contribution to the Trust in
an amount that is sufficient (taking into account the Trust assets, if any,
resulting from prior contributions) to fund the Trust in an amount equal to no
less than 100% but no more than 125% of the amount necessary to pay each Trust
Beneficiary the Benefits to which Trust Beneficiaries would be entitled pursuant
to the terms of the Employment Agreements as of the date on which the Change in
Control occurred. The Company shall also fund a separate legal expense reserve
for the Trustee in the amount of $100,000.00. Such contribution shall become the
principal of the Trust to be held, administered and disposed of by the Trustee
as provided in this Trust Agreement.

(g) The principal of the Trust, and any earnings thereon shall be held separate
and apart from other funds of the Company and shall be used exclusively for the
uses and purposes of Participants and general creditors as herein set forth.
Trust Beneficiaries shall have no preferred claim on, or any beneficial
ownership interest in, any assets of the Trust. Any rights created under the
Employment Agreements and this Trust Agreement shall be unsecured contractual
rights of Trust Beneficiaries against the Company. Any assets held by the Trust
will be subject to the claims of the general creditors of the Company under
federal and state law in the event the Company is Insolvent, as defined in
Section 3(a) herein.

(h) The Company may, in its sole discretion, at any time, or from time to time,
make additional deposits of cash or other property acceptable to the Trustee in
the Trust to augment the principal to be held, administered and disposed of by
the Trustee as provided in this Trust Agreement. Prior to a Change in Control,
neither the Trustee nor any Trust Beneficiary shall have any right to compel
additional deposits.

 

Section 2. Payments to Participants and Their Beneficiaries

(a) Upon a Change in Control and thereafter, the Trustee shall independently and
in its sole discretion determine each Participant’s entitlement to receive
Benefits due under the Employment Agreements; provided, however, that a Trust
Beneficiary may make application to the Trustee for an independent decision as
to the amount or form of their Benefits due under the Employment Agreements. In
making any determination required or permitted to be made by the Trustee under
this Section 2(a), the Trustee may consult with and make such inquiries of such
persons, including the Trust Beneficiary, the Company, legal counsel, actuaries
or other persons, as the Trustee may reasonably deem necessary. Any reasonable
costs incurred by the Trustee in arriving at its determination shall be
reimbursed by the Company and, to the extent not paid by the Company within a
reasonable time, shall be charged to the Trust. The Company waives any right to
contest any amount paid over by the Trustee hereunder pursuant to a good faith
determination made by the Trustee notwithstanding any claim by or on behalf of
the Company (absent a manifest abuse of discretion by the Trustee) that such
payments should not be made.

(b) Provided that the Company is not Insolvent, the Trustee shall make payments
of Benefits to each Participant from the assets of the Trust in compliance and
conformity with the terms of the Employment Agreements as may be determined by
the Trustee in its sole and absolute discretion.

 

-2-

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(c) The Company may make payment of benefits directly to Trust Beneficiaries as
they become due under the terms of the Employment Agreements. The Company shall
notify the Trustee of its decision to make payment of benefits directly prior to
the time amounts are payable to Trust Beneficiaries. In addition, if the
principal of the Trust, and any earnings thereon, are not sufficient to make
payments of benefits in accordance with the terms of the Employment Agreements,
the Company shall make the balance of each such payment as it falls due in
accordance with the Employment Agreements. The Trustee shall notify the Company
where principal and earnings are not sufficient. Nothing in this Trust Agreement
shall relieve the Company of its liabilities to pay benefits due under the
Employment Agreements except to the extent such liabilities are met by
application of assets of the Trust.

(c) The Trustee agrees that it will not itself institute any action at law or at
equity, whether in the nature of an accounting, interpleading action, request
for a declaratory judgment or otherwise, requesting a court or administrative or
quasi-judicial body to make the determination required to be made by the Trustee
under this Section 2 in the place and stead of the Trustee. The Trustee may
(and, if necessary or appropriate, shall) institute an action to collect a
contribution due the Trust following a Change in Control or in the event that
the Trust should ever experience a short-fall in the amount of assets necessary
to make payments pursuant to the terms of the Employment Agreements.

(e) The Trustee shall withhold from any payment to a Trust Beneficiary all taxes
and other amounts required by law to be so withheld on supplemental wages, and
shall pay over to the appropriate government authority the amounts withheld, and
such payments shall reflect the Company’s Employer Identification Number as the
payor.

 

Section 3. Trustee Responsibility Regarding Payments

     to the Trust Beneficiary When the Company is Insolvent

 

(a) The Trustee shall cease payment of benefits to Trust Beneficiaries if the
Company is Insolvent. The Company shall be considered “Insolvent” for purposes
of this Trust Agreement if (i) the Company is unable to pay its debts as they
become due, or (ii) the Company is subject to a pending proceeding as a debtor
under the United States Bankruptcy Code.

 

(b) At all times during the continuance of this Trust, the principal and income
of the Trust shall be subject to claims of general creditors of the Company
under federal and state law as set forth below.

 

  (i) The Board of Directors and the Chief Executive Officer of the Company
shall have the duty to inform the Trustee in writing that the Company is
Insolvent. If a person claiming to be a creditor of the Company alleges in
writing to the Trustee that the Company has become Insolvent, the Trustee shall
determine whether the Company is Insolvent and, pending such determination, the
Trustee shall discontinue payment of benefits to Trust Beneficiaries.

 

-3-

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  (ii) Unless the Trustee has actual knowledge that the Company is Insolvent, or
has received notice from the Company or a person claiming to be a creditor
alleging that the Company is Insolvent, the Trustee shall have no duty to
inquire whether the Company is Insolvent. The Trustee may in all events rely on
such evidence concerning the Company’s solvency as may be furnished to the
Trustee and that provides the Trustee with a reasonable basis for making a
determination concerning the Company’s solvency.

 

  (iii) If at any time the Trustee has determined that the Company is Insolvent,
the Trustee shall discontinue payments to Participants or their Beneficiaries
and shall hold the assets of the Trust for the benefit of the Company’s general
creditors. Nothing in this Trust Agreement shall in any way diminish any rights
of Trust Beneficiaries to pursue their rights as general creditors of the
Company with respect to benefits due under the Employment Agreements or
otherwise.

 

  (4) The Trustee shall resume the payment of benefits to Trust Beneficiaries in
accordance with Section 2 of this Trust Agreement only after the Trustee has
determined that the Company is not Insolvent (or is no longer Insolvent).

 

(c) Provided that there are sufficient assets, if the Trustee discontinues the
payment of benefits from the Trust pursuant to Section 3(b) hereof and
subsequently resumes such payments, the first payment following such
discontinuance shall include the aggregate amount of all payments due to Trust
Beneficiaries under the terms of the Employment Agreements for the period of
such discontinuance, less the aggregate amount of any payments made to Trust
Beneficiaries by the Company in lieu of the payments provided for hereunder
during any such period of discontinuance.

 

Section 4. Payments When a Short-Fall of the Trust Assets Occurs

 

(a) If there are not sufficient assets for the payment of current and expected
future benefits pursuant to Section 2 or Section 3(c) hereof and the Company
does not otherwise make such payments within a reasonable time after demand from
the Trustee, the Trustee shall allocate the Trust assets among the Trust
Beneficiaries in the following order of priority:

 

  (i) vested Participants (regardless of whether they are actively employed) and
their beneficiaries; and

 

  (ii) non-vested Participants (regardless of whether they are actively
employed) and their beneficiaries

 

(b) Within each category, assets shall be allocated pro-rata with respect to the
total present value of benefits expected for each Trust Beneficiary within the
category, and payments to each Trust Beneficiary shall be made to the extent of
the assets allocated to each Trust Beneficiary.

 

-4-

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(c) Upon receipt of a contribution from the Company necessary to make up for a
short-fall in the payments due, the Trustee shall resume payments to all the
Trust Beneficiaries under the Employment Agreements. Following a Change in
Control, the Trustee shall have the right and duty to compel a contribution to
the Trust from the Company to make-up for any short-fall.

 

Section 5. Payments to the Company

Except as provided in Section 3 hereof, after the Trust has become irrevocable,
the Company shall have no right or power to direct the Trustee to return to the
Company or to divert to others any of the Trust assets before all payment of
benefits have been made to Trust Beneficiaries and all legal fees pursuant to
the terms of the Employment Agreements.

 

Section 6. Investment Authority

 

(a) The Trustee shall not be liable in discharging its duties hereunder,
including, without limitation, its duty to invest and reinvest the Fund, if it
acts for the exclusive benefit of the Trust Beneficiaries, in good faith and as
a prudent person would act in accomplishing a similar task and in accordance
with the terms of this Trust Agreement and any applicable federal or state laws,
rules or regulations.

 

(b) Prior to a Change in Control, the Trustee shall invest and reinvest the Fund
as the Company shall prescribe and with the following powers:

(i) To invest and reinvest in any readily marketable common and preferred
stocks, bonds, notes, debentures (including convertible stocks and securities
but not including any stock or security of the Trustee or the Company other than
a de minimis amount held in a collective or mutual fund), certificates of
deposit or demand or time deposits (including any such deposits with the
Trustee) and shares of investment companies and mutual funds, without being
limited to the classes or property in which the Trustees are authorized to
invest by any law or any rule of court of any state and without regard to the
proportion any such property may bear to the entire amount of the Fund;

(ii) To invest and reinvest all or any portion of the Fund collectively through
the medium of any proprietary mutual fund that may be established and maintained
by the Trustee;

(iii) To commingle for investment purposes all or any portion of the Fund with
assets of any other similar trust or trusts established by the Company with the
Trustee for the purpose of safeguarding deferred compensation or retirement
income benefits of its employees and/or directors;

(iv) To retain any property at any time received by the Trustee;

 

-5-

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(v) To sell or exchange any property held by it at public or private sale, for
cash or on credit, to grant and exercise options for the purchase or exchange
thereof, to exercise all conversion or subscription rights pertaining to any
such property and to enter into any covenant or agreement to purchase any
property in the future;

(vi) To participate in any plan of reorganization, consolidation, merger,
combination, liquidation or other similar plan relating to property held by it
and to consent to or oppose any such plan or any action thereunder or any
contract, lease, mortgage, purchase, sale or other action by any person;

(vii) To deposit any property held by it with any protective, reorganization or
similar committee, to delegate discretionary power thereto, and to pay part of
the expenses and compensation thereof any assessments levied with respect to any
such property to deposited;

(viii) To extend the time of payment of any obligation held by it;

(ix) To hold uninvested any moneys received by it, without liability for
interest thereon, but only in anticipation of payments due for investments,
reinvestments, expenses or disbursements;

(x) To exercise all voting or other rights with respect to any property held by
it and to grant proxies, discretionary or otherwise;

(xi) For the purposes of the Trust, to borrow money from others, to issue its
promissory note or notes therefor, and to secure the repayment thereof by
pledging any property held by it;

(xii) To employ suitable contractors and counsel, who may be counsel to the
Company or to the Trustee, and to pay their reasonable expenses and compensation
from the Fund to the extent not paid by the Company;

(xiii) To register investments in its own name or in the name of a nominee; to
hold any investment in bearer form; and to combine certificates representing
securities with certificates of the same issue held by it in other fiduciary
capacities or to deposit or to arrange for the deposit of such securities with
any depository, even though, when so deposited, such securities may be held in
the name of the nominee of such depository with other securities deposited
therewith by other persons, or to deposit or to arrange for the deposit of any
securities issued or guaranteed by the United States government, or any agency
or instrumentality thereof, including securities evidenced by book entries
rather than by certificates, with the United States Department of the Treasury
or a Federal Reserve Bank, even though, when so deposited, such securities may
not be held separate from securities deposited therein by other persons;
provided, however, that no securities held in the Fund shall be deposited with
the United States Department of the Treasury or a Federal Reserve Bank or other
depository in the same account as any individual property of the Trustee, and
provided, further, that the books and records of the Trustee shall at all times
show that all such securities are part of the Fund;

 

-6-

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(xiv) To settle, compromise or submit to arbitration any claims, debts or
damages due or owing to or from the Trust, respectively, to commence or defend
suits or legal proceedings to protect any interest of the Trust, and to
represent the Trust in all suits or legal proceedings in any court or before any
other body or tribunal; provided, however, that the Trustee shall not be
required to take any such action unless it shall have been indemnified by the
Company to its reasonable satisfaction against liability or expenses it might
incur therefrom;

(xv) To hold and retain policies of life insurance, annuity contracts, and other
property of any kind which policies are contributed to the Trust by the Company

(xvi) To hold any other class of assets which may be contributed by the Company
and that is deemed reasonable by the Trustee, unless expressly prohibited

(xviii) Generally, to do all acts, whether or not expressly authorized, that the
Trustee may deem necessary or desirable for the protection of the Fund.

 

(c) Following a Change in Control, the Trustee shall have the sole and absolute
discretion in the management of the Trust assets and shall have all the powers
set forth under Section 6(b). In investing the Trust assets, the Trustee shall
consider:

 

  (i) the needs of the Employment Agreements;

 

  (ii) the need for matching of the Trust assets with the liabilities of the
Employment Agreements; and

 

  (iii) the duty of the Trustee to act solely in the best interests of the
Participants and their Beneficiaries.

 

(f) The Trustee shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to delegate its
investment responsibility to an investment manager who may be an affiliate of

The Trustee shall have the right to purchase an insurance policy or an annuity
to fund the benefits of the Employment Agreements.

 

-7-

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(f) The Company shall have the right at any time, and from time to time in its
sole discretion, to substitute assets (other than securities issued by the
Trustee or the Company) of equal fair market value for any asset held by the
Trust. This right is exercisable by the Company in a nonfiduciary capacity
without the approval or consent of any person in a fiduciary capacity; provided,
however, that, following a Change in Control, no such substitution shall be
permitted unless the Trustee determines that the fair market values of the
substituted assets are equal.

 

Section 7. Insurance Contracts

 

(a) To the extent that the Trustee is directed by the Company prior to a Change
in Control to invest part or all of the Fund in insurance contracts, the type
and amount thereof shall be specified by the Company. The Trustee shall be under
no duty to make inquiry as to the propriety of the type or amount so specified.

 

(b) Each insurance contract issued shall provide that the Trustee shall be the
owner thereof with the power to exercise all rights, privileges, options and
elections granted by or permitted under such contract or under the rules of the
insurer. The exercise by the Trustee of any incidents of ownership under any
contract shall, prior to a Change in Control, be subject to the direction of the
Company. After a Change in Control, the Trustee shall have all such rights.

 

(c) 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 an insurance policy held in the Fund.

 

(d) No insurer shall be deemed to be a party to the Trust and an insurer’s
obligations shall be measured and determined solely by the terms of contracts
and other agreements executed by the insurer.

 

Section 8. Disposition of Income

 

(a) Prior to and following a Change in Control, all income received by the
Trust, net of expenses and taxes payable by the Trust, shall be accumulated and
reinvested within the Trust.

 

Section 9. Accounting by the Trustee

The Trustee shall keep accurate and detailed records of all investments,
receipts, disbursements, and all other transactions required to be made,
including such specific records as shall be agreed upon in writing between the
Company and the Trustee. Within forty-five (45) days following the close of each
calendar year and within forty-five (45) days after the removal or resignation
of the Trustee, the Trustee shall deliver to the Company a written account of
its administration of the Trust during such year or during the period from the
close of the last preceding year to the date of such removal or resignation
setting forth all investments, receipts, disbursements and other transactions
effected

 

-8-

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

by it, including a description of all securities and investments purchased and
sold with the cost or net proceeds of such purchases or sales (accrued interest
paid or receivable being shown separately), and showing all cash, securities and
other property held in the Trust at the end of such year or as of the date of
such removal or resignation, as the case may be. The Company may approve such
account by an instrument in writing delivered to the Trustee. In the absence of
the Company’s filing with the Trustee objections to any such account within one
hundred eighty (180) days after its receipt, the Company shall be deemed to have
so approved such account. In such case, or upon the written approval by the
Company of any such account, the Trustee shall, to the extent permitted by law,
be discharged from all liability to the Company for its acts or failures to act
described by such account. The foregoing, however, shall not preclude the
Trustee from having its accounting settled by a court of competent jurisdiction.
The Trustee shall be entitled to hold and to commingle the assets of the Trust
in one Fund for investment purposes but at the direction of the Company prior to
a Change in Control, the Trustee shall create one or more sub-accounts.

 

Section 10. Responsibility of the 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 given by the Company which is contemplated by, and in conformity with,
the terms of the Employment Agreements or this Trust and is given in writing by
the Company. In the event of a dispute between the Company and a party, the
Trustee may apply to a court of competent jurisdiction to resolve the dispute,
subject to Section 2(d) hereof.

 

(b) The Company hereby indemnifies the Trustee against losses, liabilities,
claims, costs and expenses in connection with the administration of the Trust,
unless resulting from the negligence or misconduct of Trustee. To the extent the
Company fails to make any payment on account of an indemnity provided in this
Section 10(b), in a reasonably timely manner, the Trustee may obtain payment
from the Trust. If the Trustee undertakes or defends any litigation arising in
connection with this Trust or to protect a Trust Beneficiary’s rights under the
Employment Agreements, the Company agrees to indemnify the Trustee against the
Trustee’s costs, reasonable expenses and liabilities (including, without
limitation, attorneys’ fees and expenses) relating thereto and to be primarily
liable for such payments. If the Company does not pay such costs, expenses and
liabilities in a reasonably timely manner, the Trustee may obtain payment from
the Trust.

 

(c) Prior to a Change in Control, the Trustee may consult with legal counsel
(who may also be counsel for the Company generally) with respect to any of its
duties or obligations hereunder. Following a Change in Control, the Trustee
shall select independent legal counsel and may consult with counsel or other
persons with respect to its duties and with respect to the rights of
Participants or their beneficiaries under the Employment Agreements.

 

-9-

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(d) The Trustee may hire agents, accountants, actuaries, investment advisors,
financial consultants or other professionals to assist it in performing any of
its duties or obligations hereunder and may rely on any determinations made by
such agents and information provided to it by the Company.

 

(e) The Trustee shall have, without exclusion, all powers conferred on the
Trustee by applicable law, unless expressly provided otherwise herein.

 

(f) Notwithstanding any powers granted to the Trustee pursuant to this Trust
Agreement or to 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 Code.

 

Section 11. Compensation and Expenses of The Trustee

The Trustee’s compensation shall be as agreed in writing from time to time by
the Company and the Trustee. The Company shall pay all administrative expenses
and the Trustee’s fees and shall promptly reimburse the Trustee for any fees and
expenses of its agents. If not so paid, the fees and expenses shall be paid from
the Trust expense reserve.

 

Section 12. Resignation and Removal of The Trustee

 

(a) Prior to a Change in Control, 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 the Trustee agree otherwise. Following a
Change in Control, the Trustee may resign only after the appointment of a
successor Trustee.

 

(b) The Trustee may be removed by the Company on sixty days (60) days notice or
upon shorter notice accepted by the Trustee prior to a Change in Control.
Subsequent to a Change in Control, the Company, only with the consent of all the
Participants or their beneficiaries, may remove the Trustee.

 

(c) If the Trustee resigns within two years after a Change in Control, as
defined herein, the Company, or if the Company fails to act within a reasonable
period of time following such resignation, the Trustee, shall apply to a court
of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee that
satisfies the requirements of Section 13 or for instructions.

 

(d) Upon resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a successor
Trustee, all assets shall subsequently be transferred to the successor Trustee.
The transfer shall be completed within sixty (60) days after receipt of notice
of resignation, removal or transfer, unless the Company extends the time limit.

 

(e)

If the Trustee resigns or is removed, a successor shall be appointed by the
Company, in accordance with Section 13 hereof, by the effective date of
resignation or removal under Section(s) 12(a) or 12(b). If no such appointment
has been made, the Trustee may apply to

 

-10-

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  a court of competent jurisdiction for appointment of a successor or for
instructions. All expenses of the Trustee in connection with the proceeding
shall be allowed as administrative expenses of the Trust.

 

Section 13. Appointment of Successor

 

(a) If the Trustee resigns or is removed in accordance with Section 12 hereof,
the Company may appoint, subject to Section 12, any third party national banking
association with a market capitalization exceeding $100,000,000 to replace the
Trustee upon resignation or removal. The successor Trustee shall have all of the
rights and powers of the former Trustee, including ownership rights in the
Trust. The former Trustee shall execute any instrument necessary or reasonably
requested by the Company or the successor Trustee to evidence the transfer.

 

(b) The successor Trustee need not examine the records and acts of any prior
Trustee and may retain or dispose of existing Trust assets, subject to Sections
8 and 9 hereof. The successor Trustee shall not be responsible for and the
Company shall indemnify and defend the successor Trustee from any claim or
liability resulting from any action or inaction of any prior Trustee or from any
other past event, or any condition existing at the time it becomes successor
Trustee.

 

Section 14. Amendment or Termination

 

(a) Prior to a Change in Control, this Trust Agreement may be amended by a
written instrument executed by the Trustee and the Company. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, no such amendment shall conflict with the terms of the Employment
Agreements or shall make the Trust revocable after it has become irrevocable in
accordance with Section 1 hereof.

on which Participants and their Beneficiaries have received all of the benefits
due to them under the terms and conditions of the Employment Agreements.

payment of benefits pursuant to the terms of the Employment Agreements, the
Company may terminate this Trust prior to the time all benefit payments under

(d) This Trust Agreement may not be amended by the Company following a Change in
Control without the written consent of a majority of the Participants.

 

Section 15. Change in Control

forth in the Employment Agreement by and between the Company and Mercedes
Walton, dated August 15, 2005.

(b) The Chief Financial Officer of the Company shall have the specific authority
to determine whether a Change in Control has transpired under the guidance of
this Section 15(a) and shall be required to give the Trustee notice of a Change
in Control. The Trustee shall be entitled to rely upon such notice, but if the
Trustee receives notice of a Change in Control from another source, the Trustee
shall make its own independent determination.
