                  entity or a person as an independent fiduciary ("Independent
                  Fiduciary") to act as fiduciary under the Plans and this
                  agreement and to exercise such responsibilities of the Trustee
                  set forth in sections 2(d)(4), (5), (6), and (7) and sections
                  5(f) and (h) and section 5A pursuant to a written agreement
                  between such entity or person and the Trustee. The Independent
                  Fiduciary shall certify to the Trustee the names of all
                  persons authorized to act on its behalf. In such event, the
                  Trustee may conclusively rely upon the determinations of and
                  directions from the Independent Fiduciary and shall be
                  responsible only for the prudent selection and retention of
                  such entity or person to act as Independent Fiduciary
                  hereunder. All fees and expenses of such Independent Fiduciary
                  shall be paid from the assets of the Trust unless paid by the
                  Company.

                  (h) For purposes of Section 3, the phrase "actual knowledge of
                  the Trustee" shall mean the actual knowledge of an officer or
                  employee of the Corporate & Institutional Services trust
                  administration segment of the Trustee and shall not include
                  actual knowledge of personnel in the Corporate and
                  Institutional Services banking segment or other separate
                  segments of the Trustee."
