 1.2 Receipt of Assets. The Trustee shall receive and accept
for the purposes hereof all sums of money and other property paid to it by or at the direction of the Client or any Employer or the Recordkeeper, and shall hold, invest, reinvest, manage, administer and distribute such monies and other property and
the increments, proceeds, earnings and income thereof pursuant to the terms of this Trust Agreement and for the exclusive benefit of participants in the Plans and their beneficiaries. The Trustee need not inquire into the source of any money or
property transferred to it nor into the authority or right of the transferor of such money or property to transfer such money or property to the Trustee. All Plan assets held by the Trustee in the trust pursuant to the provisions of this Trust
Agreement at the time of reference are referred to herein as the “Trust Fund”. 
 1.3 Employers. For purposes of this Trust

 1.4 Plans. References in this Trust Agreement to the “Plan” or the “Plans”
shall mean the tax-qualified employee benefit plan or plans of the Client or the tax-qualified employee benefit Plan or Plans of any Employer that has adopted the trust as the funding vehicle for such plan or plans as the case may be. The Client
shall represent that while any assets of the Plan are held in the Trust Fund, the Plan (i) is intended to be and the Client knows of no reason why it would not be “qualified” within the meaning of Section 401(a) of the Code and,
as a defined contribution plan, the Plan is intended to be qualified as an “ERISA Section 404(c) Plan” described in 29 C.F.R. 2550.404c under which each participant is authorized to provide investment direction to the Client, acting
as agent for such Participant, for conveyance to the Trustee; (ii) is permitted by existing or future ruling of the United States Treasury Department to pool its funds in a group trust; (iii) permits its assets to be commingled for
investment purposes with the assets of other such plans by investing such assets in this Trust Fund whether or not its assets will in fact be held in a separate investment fund; and (iv) does not prohibit the Client from appointing the
Recordkeeper to perform daily recordkeeping services as described herein, and provides that the Client or the Recordkeeper as its agent is the fiduciary responsible for carrying out participant investment directions. 
 1.5 Accounting for a Plan’s Undivided Interest in the Trust Fund. All transfers to, withdrawals from, and other transactions regarding the
Trust Fund shall be conducted in such a way that the proportionate interest in the Trust Fund of each Plan and the fair market value of that interest may be determined at any time. Whenever the assets of more than one Plan are commingled in the
Trust Fund or in any investment fund, the undivided interest therein of that Plan shall be debited or credited (as the case may be) (i) for the entire amount of every 

  

 4 








 
contribution received on behalf of that Plan, every benefit payment, or other expense attributable solely to that Plan, and every other transaction relating
only to that Plan; and (ii) for its proportionate share of every item of collected or accrued income, gain or loss, and general expense; and other transactions attributable to the Trust Fund or that investment fund as a whole. As of each date
when the fair market value of the investments held in the Trust Fund or an investment fund are determined as provided for in Section 9, the Trustee shall adjust the value of each Plan’s interest therein to reflect the net increase or
decrease in such values since the last such date. For all of the foregoing purposes, fractions of a cent may be disregarded. 
 1.6
Appointment of Recordkeeper. Under the Plan, the Client is the fiduciary responsible for carrying out participant investment directions and in order to effect this, the Client has appointed CitiStreet LLC to perform certain services including
but not limited to maintaining participant accounts for all contributions, loans and loan repayments, and other deposits made for the purpose of determining how such deposits are to be allocated to the investment funds of the Plan, for determining
requirements for disbursements from or transfers among investment funds in accordance with the terms of the Plan, for maintaining participant records for the purpose of voting or tendering shares in an investment fund as described in
Section 4.1 herein, for distributing information about the investment funds provided for under the Plan, and for distributing participant statements at periodic intervals. 
 1.7 No Trustee Duty Regarding Contributions. The Trustee shall not be under any duty to require payment of any contributions to the Trust Fund or
determine that a contribution is in compliance with a participant investment direction, or to see that any payment made to it is computed in accordance with the provisions of the Plans, or otherwise be responsible for the 

  

 5 








 
adequacy of the Trust Fund to meet and discharge any liabilities under the Plans. The “named fiduciary” responsible for ensuring timely payment of
contributions to the Trust Fund is Publix Super Markets, Inc. 
 1.8 Withholding. The Administrator or the Recordkeeper shall withhold
any tax which by any present or future law is required to be withheld from any payment under the Plans. 
  

	2.	DISBURSEMENTS FROM THE TRUST FUND. 

 The Trustee
shall from time to time on the directions of the Administrator or Recordkeeper make payments out of the Trust Fund to such persons, including the Administrator or Recordkeeper, in such manner, in such amounts and for such purposes as may be
specified in the directions of the Recordkeeper or Administrator. 
 The Recordkeeper or Administrator shall be responsible for insuring that
any payment directed under this Article conforms to the provisions of the Plans, this Trust Agreement, and the provisions of ERISA. Each direction of the Recordkeeper or Administrator shall be in writing and shall be deemed to include a
certification that any payment or other distribution directed thereby is one which the Recordkeeper or Administrator is authorized to direct, and the Trustee may conclusively rely on such deemed certification without further investigation. Payments
by the Trustee may be made by its check to the order of the payee. Payments or other distributions hereunder may be mailed to the payee at the address last furnished to the Trustee by the Recordkeeper or if no such address has been so furnished, to
the payee in care of the Recordkeeper. The Trustee shall not incur any liability or other damage on account of any payments or other distributions made by it in accordance with the written directions of the Recordkeeper or Administrator.

	3.	CLIENT SELECTED INVESTMENT FUNDS. 

 3.1 In
General. The Client from time to time and in accordance with provisions of the Plans, may direct the Trustee to establish one or more separate investment accounts within the Trust Fund, each separate account being hereinafter referred to as an
“Investment Fund” which may be invested in (i) shares of investment companies registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, (ii) collective funds maintained by a bank or trust company, (iii) various classes of common
stock of the Client, (iv) pools of insurance contracts, (v) funds managed by a registered investment manager, bank or insurance company, (vi) accounts managed by named fiduciaries for the Plan, and vii) other investment options
available from time to time under the Plan (specifically the Investment Funds described on the Notice of Appointment of Investment Managers attached to this Trust Agreement, as amended from time to time by the Client and with notice to the Trustee).
The Trustee shall have no liability for any loss of any kind which may result by reason of the manner of division of the Trust Fund into Investment Funds, or for the investment management of these accounts, except as provided for in Section 3.4
regarding a Trustee managed investment account, if any. The Trustee shall transfer to each such Investment Fund such portion of the assets of the Trust Fund as the Client or the Recordkeeper directs. The Trustee shall not incur any liability on
account of following any direction of the Client or the Recordkeeper and the Trustee shall be under no duty to review the investment guidelines, objectives and restrictions so established. To the extent that directions from the Client or
Recordkeeper to the Trustee represent investment instructions of the Plans’ participants, the Trustee shall have no responsibility for such investment elections and shall incur no liability on account of the direct and necessary results of
investing the assets of the Trust Fund in accordance with such participant investment instructions. 
  

 7 








 All interest, dividends and other income received with respect to, and any proceeds received from the
sale or other disposition of, securities or other property held in an Investment Fund shall be credited to and reinvested in such Investment Fund. All expenses of the Trust Fund which are allocable to a particular Investment Fund shall be so
allocated and charged. Subject to the provisions of the Plans, the Client may direct the Trustee to eliminate an Investment Fund or Funds, and the Trustee shall thereupon dispose of the assets of such Investment Fund and reinvest the proceeds
thereof in accordance with the directions of the Administrator. 
 3.2 Client Managed Stock Investment Accounts. If, and to the extent
specifically authorized by the Plans, the Client may direct the Stock Fund Trustee to establish one or more Investment Funds, substantially all of the assets of which shall be invested in securities which constitute “qualifying employer
securities” or “qualifying employer real property” within the meaning of Section 407 of ERISA. It shall be the duty of the Client to determine that such investment is not prohibited by Sections 406 or 407 of ERISA. 
 3.3 Client Managed Investment Accounts. The Trustee shall, if so directed in writing by the Client, segregate all or a portion of the Trust Fund
held by it into one or more separate investment accounts to be known as Client Managed Investment Accounts. The Client, by written notice to the Trustee, may at any time relinquish its powers under this Section 3.3 and direct that a Client
Managed Investment Account shall no longer be maintained. Whenever the Administrator or named fiduciary is directing the investment and reinvestment of a Client 

  

 8 








 
Managed Investment Account, the Administrator or named fiduciary shall have the powers and duties which an Investment Manager would have under this Trust
Agreement if an Investment Manager were then serving and the Trustee shall be protected to the same extent as it would be protected under this Trust Agreement as to directions or the absence of directions of an Investment Manager. 
 3.4 Trustee Managed Investment Accounts. The Trustee shall have no duty or responsibility to direct the investment and reinvestment of the Trust
Fund, any Investment Fund or any investment account unless expressly agreed to in writing between the Trustee and the Client. In the event that the Trustee enters into such an agreement, it shall have the powers and duties of an Investment Manager
under this Trust Agreement with regard to such investment account. 
 3.5 Investment Manager Accounts. The Client or named fiduciary,
from time to time and in accordance with the provisions of the Plans, may appoint one or more independent Investment Managers, pursuant to a written investment management agreement describing the powers and duties of the Investment Manager, to

business, and, at the time the fiduciary last filed the registration form with such State in order to maintain the fiduciary’s registration under the laws of such State, also filed a copy of such form with the Secretary, (iii) a bank as
defined in that Act or (iv) an insurance Client qualified to perform the services described in (b) below under the laws of more than one state.

	(b)	The Investment Manager has the power to manage, acquire or dispose of any assets of the Plans for which it is responsible hereunder; 

  

	(c)	The Investment Manager has acknowledged in writing to the Administrator and the Trustee that he or it is a fiduciary with respect to the Plans within the meaning of
Section 3(21)(A) of ERISA.

 The Client or named fiduciary shall furnish the Trustee with written notice
of the appointment of each Investment Manager hereunder, and of the termination of any such appointment. Such notice shall specify the assets which shall constitute the Investment Account of such Investment Manager. The Trustee shall be fully
protected in relying upon the effectiveness of such appointment and the Investment Manager’s continuing satisfaction of the requirements set forth above until it receives written notice from the Client or named fiduciary to the contrary.

 The Trustee shall conclusively presume that each Investment Manager, under its investment management agreement, is entitled to act, in
directing the investment and reinvestment of the Investment Account for which it is responsible, in its sole and independent discretion and without limitation, except for any limitations which from time to time the Client or named fiduciary and the
Investment Manager agree (in writing) shall modify the scope of such authority and notify the Trustee. 
 The Trustee shall have no liability
(i) for the acts or omissions of any Investment Manager (except to the extent the Trustee itself is serving as Investment Manager); (ii) to the

which are given in accordance with this Trust Agreement; (iii) for failing to act in the absence of Investment Manager direction; or (iv) for any loss of any kind which may result by reason of the manner of division of the Trust Fund or
Investment Fund into Investment Accounts. 
 An Investment Manager shall certify, at the request of the Trustee, the value of any securities
or other property held in any Investment Account managed by such Investment Manager, and such certification shall be regarded as a direction with regard to such valuation. The Trustee shall be entitled to conclusively rely upon such valuation for
all purposes under this Trust Agreement. 
 Except as otherwise provided in this Trust Agreement, the Investment Manager of an Investment
Account shall have the power and authority, to be exercised in its sole discretion at any time and from time to time, to issue orders for the purchase or sale of securities directly to a broker. Written notification of the issuance of each such
order shall be given promptly to the Trustee by the Investment Manager and the confirmation of each such order shall be confirmed to the Trustee by the broker. The Trustee shall promptly provide confirmation of each such order to the Recordkeeper,
which shall maintain all participant level accounts.

	(b)	To appoint ancillary trustees to hold any portion of the assets of the trust and to pay their reasonable expenses and compensation with notice to the Client.


  

	(c)	To register any securities held by it hereunder in its own name, in the name of its nominee, in the name of its agent, or in the name of its agent’s nominee with or without the
addition of words indicating that such securities are held in a fiduciary capacity, and to hold any securities in bearer form and to deposit any securities or other property in a depository or clearing corporation. 

  

 16 









	(d)	To make, execute and deliver, as Trustee, any and all deeds, leases, mortgages, conveyances, waivers, releases or other instruments in writing necessary or desirable for the
accomplishment of any of the foregoing powers. 

  

	(e)	Generally to do all ministerial acts, whether or not expressly authorized, which the Trustee may deem necessary or desirable in carrying out its duties under this Trust Agreement.


 Notwithstanding anything in the Plans or this Trust Agreement to the contrary, the Trustee shall not be required by the
Client, the Administrator, Recordkeeper or any Investment Manager to engage in any action, nor make any investment which constitutes a prohibited transaction or is otherwise contrary to the provisions of ERISA or which is otherwise contrary to law
or to the terms of the Plans or this Trust Agreement. 
 The Trustee may consult with legal counsel concerning any question which may arise
with reference to this Trust Agreement and its powers and duties hereunder. The written opinion of such counsel shall be full and complete protection of the Trustee in respect to any action taken or suffered by the Trustee hereunder in good faith
reliance on said opinion. 
  

	5.	INDEMNIFICATION. 

 To the extent permitted by
applicable law, the Client shall indemnify and save harmless the Trustee for and from any loss or expense (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising (a) out of an authorized action hereunder taken in good faith by the Trustee or any
matter as to which this Trust Agreement provides that the Trustee is directed, protected, not liable, or not responsible, (b) out of a Plan intending to qualify yet determined not to qualify as an ERISA 404(c) plan or the inability of a Plan
participant or beneficiary to exercise independent control over his account within the meaning of 29 C.F.R. section 2550.404c-1, or (c) by reason of any breach of any statutory or other duty owed to the Plans by the Client, any Employer, the


  

 17 








 
Administrator, the Recordkeeper, the Stock Fund Trustee or any Investment Manager or any delegate of any of them (and for the purposes of this sentence the
Trustee shall not be considered to be such a delegate), whether or not the Trustee may also be considered liable for that other person’s breach under the provisions of Section 405(a) of ERISA. 
  

	6.	SECURITIES OR OTHER PROPERTY. 

 The words
“securities or other property”, used in this Trust Agreement, shall be deemed to refer to any property, real or personal, or part interest therein, wherever situated, including, without limitation, governmental, corporate or personal
obligations, trust and participation certificates, partnership interests, annuity or investment contracts issued by an insurance company, leaseholds, fee titles, mortgages and other interests in realty, preferred and common stocks, certificates of
deposit, financial options and futures or any other form of option, evidences of indebtedness or ownership in foreign corporations or other enterprises or indebtedness of foreign governments, and any other evidences of indebtedness or ownership,
including securities or other property of the Client, even though the same may not be legal investment for trustees under any law other than ERISA. 
  

	7.	SECURITY CODES. 

 If the Trustee has issued to the
Client, or to any Investment Manager appointed by the Client, security codes or passwords in order that the Trustee may verify that certain transmissions of information, including directions or instructions, have been originated by the Client or the
Investment Manager, as the case may be, the Trustee shall be kept indemnified by and be without liability to the Client for any action taken or omitted by it in reliance upon receipt by the Trustee of transmissions of information with the proper
security code or password, including communications purporting to be directions or instructions, which the Trustee reasonably believes to be from the Client or Investment Manager. 
  

 18 









	8.	TAXES AND TRUSTEE COMPENSATION. 

 The Trustee shall
pay out of the Trust Fund all real and personal property taxes, income taxes and other taxes of any and all kinds levied or assessed under existing or future laws against the Trust Fund. Until advised to the contrary by the Administrator, the
Trustee shall assume that the Trust is exempt from Federal, State and local income taxes, and shall act in accordance with that assumption. The Administrator shall timely file all Federal, State and local tax and information returns relating to the
Plans and Trust. 
 The Trustee shall be paid such reasonable compensation as shall from time to time be agreed upon by the Client and the
Trustee in writing on Schedule 1 of the Bundled Services Agreement. Such compensation and all reasonable and proper expenses of administration of the Trust, including counsel fees, shall be withdrawn by the Trustee out of the Trust Fund
unless paid by the Client, but such compensation and expenses shall be paid by the Client if the same cannot by operation of law be withdrawn from the Trust Fund. If, in the performance of this Trust Agreement hereunder, the Trustee holds uninvested
cash pending investment or distribution, the Trustee shall incur no liability for the payment of interest thereon to any other party, notwithstanding Trustee’s receipt of “float” from such uninvested cash. Such float shall constitute
a part of the Trustee’s overall compensation for performance of its services hereunder. The Client has negotiated with the Trustee and has agreed to allow the Trustee to retain such float income with the knowledge that the Client had the choice
to either (i) retain such income for the benefit of the participants of the Plan and incur a higher Trustee fee or (ii) allow the Trustee to retain such float 

  

 19 








 
income and realize a lower Trustee fee. The Client also agrees that the Recordkeeper may be entitled to share in the float income received by the Trustee as
agreed to by the Trustee and the Recordkeeper. 
 All payments from the Trust Fund under this Article 8 may be made without approval or
direction. 
  

	9.	ACCOUNTS OF THE TRUSTEE. 

 The Trustee shall
maintain or cause to be maintained suitable records, data and information relating to its functions hereunder. 
 The Trustee shall keep
accurate and detailed accounts of all investments, receipts, disbursements, and other actions hereunder, and such other records as the Administrator shall from time to time direct, as agreed to by the Trustee. Its books and records relating thereto
shall be open to inspection and audit at all reasonable times by the Client or its duly authorized representatives and each Investment Manager. The Trustee shall be entitled to reasonable compensation and reimbursement of its reasonable expenses
incurred in connection with such audits or inspections. 
 Within sixty days after the close of each fiscal year of the trust and at more
frequent intervals if agreed to by the parties hereto, and within sixty days after the removal or resignation of the Trustee as provided hereunder, the Trustee shall render to the Client a written statement and account showing in reasonable summary
the investments, receipts, disbursements, and other transactions engaged in during the preceding fiscal year or period, and setting forth the assets and liabilities of the trust. Accounts maintained by the Administrator or Recordkeeper may be
incorporated into Trustee reports. Unless the Client shall have filed with the Trustee written 

  

 20 








 
exceptions or objections to any such statement and account within the later of ninety days after receipt thereof or receipt by the Client of their audited
annual report and except as otherwise required or provided by applicable law, the Client shall be deemed to have approved such statement and account, and in such case or upon written approval by the Administrator of any such statement and account,
the Trustee shall be released and discharged with respect to all matters and things embraced 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 in which the Client,
all other necessary parties and all persons having any beneficial interest in the Trust Fund were parties. 
 The Trustee shall determine the
fair market value of assets of the Trust Fund based upon valuations provided by Investment Managers, information and financial publications of general circulation, statistical and valuation services, records of security exchanges, appraisals by
qualified persons, transactions and bona fide offers in assets of the type in question and other information customarily used in the valuation of property. 
 The Client or its delegate, each Investment Manager, and the Trustee shall file such descriptions and reports and make such other publications, disclosures, registrations and other filings as are required of them
respectively by ERISA. 
 Nothing contained in this Trust Agreement or in the Plans shall deprive the Trustee of the right to have a judicial
settlement of its account. In any proceeding for a judicial settlement of the Trustee’s accounts or for instructions in connection with the trust, the only necessary party thereto in addition to the Trustee shall be the Client, and no
participant or other person having or claiming any interest in the Trust Fund shall be entitled to any notice or service of process (except as required by law). Any judgment, decision or award entered in any such proceeding or action shall be
conclusive upon all interested persons. 
  

 21 









	10.	RELIANCE ON COMMUNICATIONS. 

 The Trustee may rely
upon a certification of the Administrator (or any member of the Board, Board Committee or the Committee, if applicable) or the Recordkeeper with respect to any instruction, direction or approval of such Administrator (or any member of the Board,
Board Committee or the Committee, if applicable) or the Recordkeeper and may rely upon a certification of the Client as to the membership of the Board, Board Committee or the Committee as it then exists, and may continue to rely upon such
certification until a subsequent certification is filed with the Trustee. 
 The Trustee shall be fully protected in acting upon any
instrument, certificate, or paper of the Client, its Board of Directors, the Administrator (or any member of the Board, Board Committee or the Committee, if applicable) or the Recordkeeper, believed by it to be genuine and to be signed or presented
by any authorized person, and the Trustee shall be under no duty to make any investigation or inquiry as to any statement contained in any such writing but may accept the same as fully authorized by the Client, the Board, Board Committee, Committee
or the Recordkeeper, if applicable, as the case may be. 
 The Trustee shall be further protected in relying upon a certification from any
Investment Manager appointed by the Client as to the person or persons authorized to give instructions or directions on behalf of such Investment Manager and may continue to rely upon such certification until a subsequent certification is filed with
the Trustee. 
  

 22 









	11.	RESIGNATION AND REMOVAL OF TRUSTEE. 

 Any Trustee
acting hereunder may resign at any time by giving ninety days’ prior written notice to the Client, which notice may be waived by the Client. The Client may remove the Trustee at any time upon thirty days’ prior written notice to the
Trustee, which notice may be waived by the Trustee. In case of the resignation or removal of the Trustee, the Client shall appoint a successor trustee. Any successor trustee shall have the same powers and duties as those conferred upon the Trustee
named in this Trust Agreement. The removal of a Trustee and the appointment of a new Trustee shall be by a written instrument delivered to the Trustee. Upon the appointment of a successor trustee, the resigning or removed Trustee shall transfer or
deliver the Trust Fund to such successor trustee. 
  

	12.	AMENDMENT. 

 This Trust Agreement may be amended by
agreement between the Trustee and the Client at any time or from time to time and in any manner, and the provisions of any such amendment may be applicable to the Trust Fund as constituted at the time of the amendment as well as to the part of the
Trust Fund subsequently acquired. 
  

	13.	TERMINATION. 

 This Trust Agreement and the trust
created hereby may be terminated at any time by the Client, and upon such termination or upon the dissolution or liquidation of the Client, in the event that a successor to the Client by operation of law or by the acquisition of its business
interests shall not elect to continue the Plans and the trust, the Trust Fund shall be paid out by the Trustee when directed by the Administrator. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Trustee shall not be required to pay out any assets of the Trust
Fund upon termination of the trust until the 

  

 23 








 
Trustee has received written certification from the Administrator that all provisions of law with respect to such termination have been complied with. The
Trustee shall rely conclusively on such written certification, and shall be under no obligation to investigate or otherwise determine its propriety. 
  

	14.	PARTICIPATION OF OTHER EMPLOYERS. 

 14.1 Adoption
by Other Employers; Withdrawals. The Trust is maintained by the Client for use as the funding vehicle for the Plans which it maintains for various groups of employees and for use as the funding vehicle for the Plans of any Employer. 

 

	(a)	Any Employer which has been certified to the Trustee by the Client as being authorized and as having adopted the Plans with the consent of the Client may, at any time thereafter,
become a party to this Trust Agreement by filing with the Trustee a certified copy of a resolution of its Board of Directors evidencing adoption of such Plans; and 

  

	(b)	Any Employer which is a party to this Trust Agreement and which has been certified to the Trustee by the Client as having adopted one or more other plans and as being authorized to
adopt this Trust as the funding medium for such other plan or plans may, at any time thereafter, adopt this Trust for the purposes of such other plan or plans by filing with the Trustee a certified copy of a resolution of its Board of Directors
evidencing its election to do so. 

 Thereafter, the Trustee shall receive and hold as a part of the Trust Fund, subject to the
provisions of this Trust Agreement, any deposits made to it under such Plans by or at the direction of such Employer. Should this paragraph become operative: 
  

	(a)	In the event of the withdrawal of a Plan from the trust or in the event of the Client’s or an Employer’s election to terminate or to fund separately the benefits provided
under any of its Plans, the Client shall cause a valuation to be made of the share of the Trust Fund which is held for the benefit of persons having an interest therein under such Plans. The Trustee shall thereupon segregate and dispose of such
share in accordance with the written direction of the Client accompanied by its certification to the Trustee that such segregation and disposition is in accordance with the terms of the Plans and the requirements of the law.


  

	(b)	 If the Client or any Employer receives notice that one or more of its Plans is no longer qualified under the provisions of Section 401 of the Code or the
corresponding provisions 



  

 24 









	 	 
of any future Federal revenue act and any attempt to correct the disqualifying defect failed or a correction method was unavailable, the Client shall
immediately cause a valuation to be made of the share of the Trust Fund which is held for the benefit of such persons having an interest under such disqualified Plan or Plans. The Trustee shall thereupon segregate, withdraw from the Trust Fund, and
dispose of such share in accordance with the terms of the disqualified Plan or Plans. The Client may direct the Trustee to dispose of such share by the transfer and delivery of such share to itself as trustee of a separate trust, the terms and
conditions of which shall be identical with those of this Trust Agreement, except that either the Client or the Employer maintaining such disqualified Plan or Plans and the Trustee shall be the only parties thereto. 


  

	(c)	In the event that any group of employees covered by a Plan is withdrawn from such Plan, the Client shall, if required by the terms of such Plan, cause a valuation to be made of the
share of the Trust Fund which is held for the benefit of such group of employees. The Trustee shall thereupon segregate and dispose of such share in accordance with the direction of the Client accompanied by its certification to the Trustee that
such segregation and disposition is in accordance with the terms of such Plan and the requirements of the law. 

 The Trustee
shall have no duty to see that the valuation of any share in accordance with the provisions of this Section 14.1 is caused to be made by the Client, nor to segregate and dispose of any such share in the absence of the written direction of the
Client to do so. 
 14.2 Powers and Authorities of Other Employers to be Exercised Exclusively by Client. Each Employer, other than
the Client, which is or shall become a party to this Trust Agreement, hereby irrevocably gives and grants to the Client full and exclusive power and authority to exercise all of the powers conferred upon it by the terms of this Trust Agreement and
to take or refrain from taking any and all action which such Employer might otherwise take or refrain from taking with respect to this Trust Agreement, including the sole and exclusive power to exercise, enforce or waive any rights whatsoever which
such Employer might otherwise have with respect to the Trust Fund, and each such Employer, by becoming a party to this Trust Agreement, irrevocably appoints the Client its agent for such purposes. The Trustee shall have no obligation to account to
any such Employer or to follow the instructions of or otherwise deal 

  

 25 








 
with any such Employer, the intention being that the Trustee shall deal solely with the Client as if the Trustee and the Client were the only parties in this
Trust Agreement. 
  

	15.	MISCELLANEOUS. 

 15.1 Governing Law. To the
extent not inconsistent with ERISA, as heretofore or hereafter amended, the contractual provisions of this Trust Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the state of Florida and Trustee’s rights, duties,
obligations and powers shall be governed by, interpreted and construed in accordance with the Commonwealth of Massachusetts laws governing trusts. 
 15.2 No Reversion to Employer. Except as provided herein, no portion of the principal or the income of the Trust Fund shall revert to or be recoverable by the Client or any Employer or ever be used for or diverted to any purpose
other than for the exclusive benefit of participants in the Plans and persons claiming under or through them pursuant to the Plans, provided, however, that: 
  

	(a)	all contributions are conditioned upon the deductibility of the contributions under Section 404(a) of the Code, and, to the extent determined to be nondeductible, the Trustee
shall, upon written request of the affected Client, return such amount as may be permitted by law to such Client, as appropriate, within one year after the determination of nondeductibility or within such other period as is permitted by applicable
law; and 

  

	(b)	if a contribution or any portion thereof is made by the Client by a mistake of fact, the Trustee shall, upon written request of the Client, return such amounts as may be permitted
by law to the Client, as appropriate, within one year after the date of payment to the Trustee or within such other period as is permitted by applicable law; and 

  

	(c)	if a contribution is conditioned upon the qualification of the Plans and Trust under Sections 401 and 501 of the Code, the contributions of the Client to the Trust for all Plans
Years, with the gains and losses thereon, shall be returned by the Trustee to the Client, as appropriate, within one year in the event that the Commissioner of Internal Revenue fails to rule that the Plans and Trust were as of such date qualified
and tax-exempt (within the meaning of Sections 401 and 501 of the Code); and 

  

	(d)	assets may be returned to the Employer to the extent that the law permits such transfer. 

  


 26 








 The Trustee shall be under no obligation to return any part of the Trust Fund as provided in this
Section 15.2 until the Trustee has received a written certification from the Administrator that such return is in compliance with this Section 15.2, the Plans and the requirements of applicable law. The Trustee shall rely conclusively on
such written certification and shall be under no obligation to investigate or otherwise determine its propriety. 
 15.3 Non-Alienation of
Benefits. 
  

	(a)	No benefit to which a participant or his beneficiary is or may become entitled under a Plan shall at any time be subject in any manner to alienation or encumbrance, nor be resorted
to, appropriated or seized in any proceeding at law, in equity or otherwise. No participant or other person entitled to receive a benefit under a Plan shall, except as specifically provided in such Plan, have power in any manner to transfer, assign,
alienate or in any way encumber such benefit under such Plan, or any part thereof, and any attempt to do so shall be void. 

  

	(b)	Notwithstanding the provisions of Article 15.3(a), the Administrator or Recordkeeper shall direct the Trustee to make payments pursuant to a Qualified Domestic Relations Order as
defined in Section 414(p) of the Code. The Administrator shall establish procedures consistent with Section 414(p) of the Code to determine if any order received by the Administrator or any other fiduciary of the Plan is a Qualified
Domestic Relations Order. 

  

	(c)	Notwithstanding the provisions of Article 15.3(a), the Administrator or Recordkeeper shall direct the Trustee to comply with the lawful terms of a levy of the Internal Revenue
Service. 

  

 27 








 15.4 Duration of Trust. Unless sooner terminated, the trust created under this Trust Agreement
shall continue for the maximum period of time which the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts shall permit. 
 15.5 No Guarantees.
Neither the Client, nor any Employer, nor the Trustee guarantees the Trust Fund from loss or depreciation, nor the payment of any amount which may become due to any person under the Plans or this Trust Agreement. 
 15.6 Duty to Furnish Information. Both the Client and the Trustee shall furnish to the other any documents, reports, returns, statements, or other
information that the other reasonably deems necessary to perform its duties imposed under the Plans or this Trust Agreement or otherwise imposed by law. 
 15.7 Parties Bound. This Trust Agreement shall be binding upon the parties hereto, all participants in the Plans and persons claiming under or through them pursuant to the Plans, and, as the case may be, the
heirs, executors, administrators, successors, and assigns of each of them. The provisions of Articles 5 and 7 shall survive termination of the Trust created under this Trust Agreement or resignation or removal of the Trustee for any reason.

 In the event of the merger or consolidation of the Client or any Employer or other circumstances whereby a successor person, firm or
Client shall continue to carry on all or a substantial part of its business, and such successor shall elect to carry on the provisions of the Plan or Plans applicable to such business, as therein provided, such successor shall be substituted
hereunder for the Client or such Employer, as the case may be, upon the filing in writing of its election to do so with the Trustee. The Trustee may, but need not, rely on the certification of an officer of the Client, and a certified copy of a
resolution of the Board of Directors of such 

  

 28 








 
successor, reciting the facts, circumstances and consummation of such succession and the election of such successor to continue the said Plan or Plans as
conclusive evidence thereof, without requiring any additional evidence. 
 15.8 Necessary Parties to Disputes. Necessary parties to
any accounting, litigation or other proceedings shall include only the Trustee, the Client and any appropriate Employers and the settlement or judgment in any such case in which the Client, the appropriate Employers and the Trustee are duly served
or cited shall be binding upon all participants in the Plans and their beneficiaries and estates, and upon all persons claiming by, through or under them. 
 15.9 Unclaimed Benefit Payments. If any check or share certificate in payment of a benefit hereunder which has been mailed by regular US mail to the last address of the payee furnished the Trustee by the Client
or Recordkeeper is returned unclaimed, the Trustee shall notify the Client or Recordkeeper and shall discontinue further payments to such payee until it receives the further instruction of the Client or Recordkeeper or as provided by the Business
Requirements Document in Exhibit 1 of the Administrative Services Agreement. 
 15.10 Severability. If any provisions of this Trust
Agreement shall be held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions of this Trust Agreement shall continue to be fully effective. 
 15.11 References. Unless the context clearly indicates to the contrary, a reference to a statute, regulation, document or provision shall be
construed as referring to any subsequently enacted, adopted or executed counterpart.

 29
