MANAGEMENT AND CONTROL OF TRUST FUND ASSETS
		

		
			 
		

		
			2.1.Acceptance.  Argent agrees to be the discretionary Trustee of the Trust and agrees to the terms of the Trust set forth in this Trust Agreement.  In addition, Argent agrees to hold the Trust Fund in trust hereunder, and shall receive and hold all sums heretofore held in the Trust Fund.  The Trustee shall (a) receive and accept for the purposes hereof all sums of money and other property acceptable to the Trustee for receipt which is paid to the Trust, contributed to the Trust through Contributions, and Dividends paid to the Trust; and (b) 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 the Trust Agreement and for the exclusive benefit of the Plan’s participants and their beneficiaries.
		

		
			 
		

		
			2.2.Trust Fund Administration.  All Contributions and Dividends made to the Trust will be managed and controlled by the Trustee acting under this Trust Agreement.  The Trustee shall manage, administer, and invest all Contributions and Dividends made to the Trust by the Company along with the other assets of the Trust Fund.  If, for any reason, it becomes necessary to determine the portion of the Trust Fund allocable to Employees and former Employees or a particular Employer as of any date, the Recordkeeper shall specify such date as an Accounting Date, and after all adjustments required under the Plan as of that Accounting Date have been made, the portion of the Trust Fund attributable to such Employees and former Employees shall be determined and shall consist of an amount equal to the aggregate of the account balances of Employees and former Employees or that Employer plus an amount equal to an allocable Contribution made by the Company or Employer since the close of the immediately preceding Plan Year. 
		

		
			 
		

		
			2.3.Investment of Trust Fund.  Assets held by the Trustee in the Trust Fund shall be invested by the Trustee primarily in Company Stock, to the extent consistent with ERISA.  To the extent permitted by the Code and ERISA, Contributions and Dividends made by the Company to the Trust (pursuant to the terms of the Plan) in cash, and other assets of the Trust Fund, may be used to purchase shares of Company Stock from the Company or from any shareholder of the Company, or to repay an Exempt Loan.  Company Stock shall be purchased by the Trustee only at prices which do not exceed the fair market value of the shares purchased, as determined by the Trustee, in its sole discretion, based upon an appropriate valuation performed by an independent appraiser to support the Trustee's decision on establishing the fair market value of such Company Stock on the Valuation Date.
		

		
			 
		

		
			2.4.Purchase and Sale Transactions.  The Trustee, in its sole discretion, may enter into purchase and sale transactions of any form or structure from time to time, but shall not enter into a non-exempt “prohibited transaction,” as that term is defined in Section 4975(c) of the Code and Section 406 of ERISA.
		

		
			 
		

		
			2.5.Voting Company Stock.  The Trustee shall vote the shares of Company Stock held in the Trust Fund with respect to all matters, in its discretion, pursuant to the Voting Requirements.

		2.6.Trust Fund Powers.  The Trustee shall be a discretionary trustee with respect to all the assets of the Trust Fund, including, but not limited to, purchases, holding, and sales of Company Stock, as well as voting shares of Company Stock.  Subject to the provisions of Sections 2.8 2.9, and 2.10, the Trustee shall have the following powers, rights, and duties with respect to the Trust Fund, in addition to, and not limited to, those provided elsewhere in this Trust Agreement or by Applicable Law:

			(c)To make payments from the Trust Fund to the Persons, in the manner, at the times as directed by the ESOP Committee pursuant to Section 2.9, and in the amounts as calculated by the Recordkeeper.

			(f)To retain any assets, funds or property subject to any dispute, without liability for the payment of interest, or to decline to make payment or delivery of the funds or property, until final adjudication is made by a court of competent jurisdiction.
		

		
			 
		

		
			(g)To maintain financial records of the Trust and to provide a report to the ESOP Committee, with a courtesy copy to the Company upon request, on the last day of each Plan Year and on any Valuation Date, with the records, including such information but not limited  to, the number of shares of Company Stock held by the Trust and the net worth of the Trust Fund (that is, the fair market value of all property held in the Trust Fund, reduced by any liabilities other than liabilities to participants in the Plan and their beneficiaries, as determined by the Trustee), the amount of cash and types of investments made by the Trust, and the expenses charged and/or paid to or by the Trust;

The Trustee, in its sole discretion, may rely for all purposes of this Trust Agreement on the latest valuation and transaction information submitted to it by the Person responsible for the investment of such assets that are not invested in Company Stock even if such information predates the Valuation Date.

			(ii)defraying reasonable expenses of administering the Trust;
		

		
			 
		

		
			(b)With the care, skill, prudence, and diligence under the circumstances then prevailing that a prudent person acting in a like capacity and familiar with such matters would use in the conduct of an enterprise of like character and with like aims; and
		

		
			 
		

		
			(c)In accordance with the documents and instruments governing the Trust and the Plan insofar as those documents and instruments are consistent with the provisions of ERISA;

			3.2.Denial of Tax Qualification.  If any Contribution under the Plan is conditioned on receiving an initial or subsequent qualification of the Plan under Sections 401(a) and 4975(e)(7) of the Code and if the Plan does not so qualify, then the Trustee shall return to the Company, or the Parent Corporation (as the case may be),  the amount of the Contribution and any earnings attributable to the Contribution within one calendar year after the date initial qualification of the Plan is denied.
		

		
			 
		

		
			3.3.Nondeductible Contributions.

The resigning or removed Trustee shall provide an accounting to the Company and to the successor Trustee within 60 days of the date of its removal or resignation.  The Company and the successor Trustee shall have 60 days from the date of the delivery of the accounting within which to file written objections to the accounting.  If neither the Company nor the successor Trustee files a written objection to the accounting within 60 days, then, to the extent permitted under ERISA, the successor Trustee shall be deemed to have approved the accounting, and the removed or resigning Trustee shall be released and discharged with respect to any matters set forth or otherwise described in the accounting.  Each successor Trustee shall succeed to the title to the Trust Fund vested in its predecessor without the signing or filing of any further instrument, but any resigning or removed Trustee shall sign all documents and perform all acts necessary to vest title of record in any successor Trustee.  Each successor Trustee shall have all the powers, rights, and duties conferred by this Trust Agreement as if originally named Trustee.
