Section 3. Payments to Plan Participants and their Beneficiaries



| | (a) | The establishment of the Trust and the payment or delivery to the Trustee of money or other property acceptable to the Trustee, including life insurance policies, shall not entitle

| | --- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (b) | The Administrative Committee of the Plan (the Administrative Committee) shall deliver to the Trustee a schedule (the Payment Schedule) that indicates the

paid (as provided for or available under the Plan), and the time of commencement of payment of such amounts. Except as otherwise provided herein, the Trustee shall make payments to the Participants and Beneficiaries in accordance with such Payment
Schedule.
| | --- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (c) | The Company, in its discretion, may make payment of benefits directly to the Participants or Beneficiaries as they become due under the terms of the Plan. Prior to the time amounts
are payable to Participants or Beneficiaries, the Company or the Administrative Committee shall notify the Trustee of the Companys decision to make direct payment of benefits. Upon presentation of proof of payment, the Trustee shall reimburse
the Company out of the Trust Fund an amount equal to the benefit payments made directly by the Company to the Participants or Beneficiaries.
| | --- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (d) | Nothing in this Agreement shall relieve the Company of its liabilities to pay the benefits due under the Plan except to the extent such liabilities are satisfied by Trust assets.

Section 4. Trustee Responsibility Regarding
Payments when the Company is Insolvent



| | (a) | The Trustee shall cease payment of benefits to the Participants and Beneficiaries if the Company is Insolvent. The Company shall be considered Insolvent for purposes of

| | --- | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (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, as determined under federal
and state law, as set forth below.
| | --- | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (1) | The Board of Directors or 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 the
Participants and Beneficiaries.
| | --- | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (2) | 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 solvency as may be furnished to the Trustee which provides the Trustee with a reasonable basis for
making a determination concerning the solvency of the Company.
| | --- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (3) | If at any time the Trustee has determined that the Company is Insolvent, the Trustee shall discontinue payments to the Participants and Beneficiaries and shall hold the Trust assets
for the benefit of the Companys general creditors. Nothing in this Trust Agreement shall in any way diminish any rights of the Participants or Beneficiaries to pursue their rights as general creditors of the Company with respect to benefits
due under the Plan or otherwise.
| | --- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



---

| | (4) | The Trustee shall resume the payment of benefits to the Participants and Beneficiaries in accordance with Section 3 hereof only after the Trustee has been notified in writing by the
Board of Directors or the Chief Executive Officer of the Company or determined that the Company is not (or is no longer) Insolvent.
| | --- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (c) | Provided that there are sufficient Trust assets, if the Trustee discontinues the payment of benefits from the Trust pursuant to Section 4(b) hereof and subsequently resumes such
payments, the first payment following such discontinuance shall include the aggregate amount of all payments due to Participants and Beneficiaries under the terms of the Plan for the period of such discontinuance less the aggregate amount of any
payments made to Participants or their Beneficiaries by the Company or any other person or entity in lieu of the payments provided for hereunder during any such period of discontinuance.
| | --- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



Section 5. Payments to the Company



| | (a) | Except as otherwise provided in this Section 5 and in Sections 3, 13 and 14 (b), the Company shall have no right or power to direct the Trustee to return to the Company, or to
divert to others, any Trust assets before payment of all benefits have been made to the Participants and Beneficiaries pursuant to the terms of the Plan and all fees and expenses of the Trust have been paid. The Trustee shall return to the Company
any amounts remaining in the Trust Fund after all such benefits, fees, and expenses have been satisfied.
| | --- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (b) | Except as provided in Section 14(c)(4)(A), in the event the Company determines that, as of the date of such determination, the value of the Trust Fund exceeds 120 percent of the
anticipated benefit obligations and Trust fees and expenses that are to be paid under the Plan and Trust Agreement, the Trustee shall, upon the direction of the Company, distribute to the Company such excess portion of the Trust Fund.

| | (e) | The Company hereby agrees to indemnify the Trustee against losses, liabilities, claims, costs and expenses in connection with the administration of the Trust, if the Trustee
discharges its duties set forth in this Trust Agreement (including, without limitation, its duty to invest and reinvest the Trust Fund) with the care, skill, prudence and diligence under the circumstances then prevailing that a prudent person acting

absence of directions of the investment manager or investment committee, including all expenses reasonably incurred in its defense in the event the Company fails to provide such defense; provided, however, the Trustee shall not be so indemnified if
it participates knowingly in, or knowingly undertakes to conceal, an act or omission of an investment manager or investment committee; provided further, however, that the Trustee shall not be deemed to have knowingly participated in or knowingly
undertaken to conceal an act or omission of an investment manager or investment committee by merely complying with directions of an investment manager or investment committee or for failure to act in the absence of directions of an investment
manager or investment committee. The Trustee may rely upon any order, certificate, notice, direction or other documentary confirmation purporting to have been issued by the investment manager or investment committee which the Trustee believes to be
genuine and to have been issued by the investment manager or investment committee. The Trustee shall not be charged with knowledge of the termination of the appointment of any investment manager or investment committee until it receives written
notice thereof from the Company.
