Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

On April 29, 2005, Computer Associates International, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a deferred compensation plan (the “Plan”) and related trust agreement (the “Trust”) for the benefit of John A. Swainson, the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer. The Plan and Trust fulfill the Company’s obligation under Mr. Swainson’s employment agreement entered into on November 22, 2004, to provide him with the present value of $2.8 million in respect of certain benefits he would have received had he remained employed with International Business Machines Corporation plus interest on such amount since the execution of Mr. Swainson’s employment agreement. Mr. Swainson has an initial deferred compensation account balance of $2,835,000 and is entitled to notionally allocate his account balance among various investment options for the purpose of determining the value of his account. The Plan provides for Mr. Swainson to receive in cash the lump sum value of his deferred compensation balance upon the earliest of (i) his death, (ii) six months after his separation from service (as defined in the Plan) or (iii) a Change in Control (as defined in the Plan). The Trust is in the form of a so-called “rabbi trust” whose assets are subject to the claims of the Company’s creditors.

The foregoing descriptions of the Plan and Trust do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to such agreements, copies of which are filed as Exhibit 10.1 and Exhibit 10.2 respectively hereto and are incorporated by reference herein.

2.1   Establishment of Account and Opening Balance.

The Participant may, in accordance with rules and procedures established by the Administrator, choose the investments among the ones set forth in Appendix A to be used for the purpose of calculating future hypothetical investment adjustments to the Participant’s Account as of the Valuation Date coincident with or next following notice to the Administrator. The Participant’s Account shall be adjusted as of each Valuation Date to reflect the hypothetical investment earnings and/or losses described above and any distribution from the Account.

Article 2-1


 

ARTICLE 3 – AMOUNT AND DISTRIBUTION OF BENEFITS

3.1   Amount of Benefits. The balance credited to the Participant’s Account as determined in accordance with Article 2 shall determine and constitute the basis for the amount of benefits payable to or on behalf of the Participant under the Plan.
 
3.2   Method of Distribution. The benefits payable to or on behalf of the Participant shall be paid in a single lump sum payment in cash as soon as administratively practicable following the date the benefits become payable in accordance with Section 3.3.
 
3.3   Timing of Distribution. The Participant’s benefits shall become payable upon the earliest to occur of: (1) his death, (2) the date which is six months after the Participant incurs a separation from service within the meaning of Code Section 409A(a)(2)(A)(i) from the Plan Sponsor and all entities required to be aggregated with the Plan Sponsor by Code Section 409A, or (3) a Change in Control as described in Section 3.5.
 
3.4   Distribution Upon Death. The Participant’s benefits shall be paid to his Beneficiary in a single lump sum payment as soon as practicable following his date of death. If multiple Beneficiaries have been designated, each Beneficiary shall receive a single lump sum payment of his specified portion of the Account as soon as practicable following the date of death.
 
    The Participant may designate a Beneficiary or Beneficiaries, or change any prior designation of Beneficiary or Beneficiaries in accordance with rules and procedures established by the Administrator.
 
    A copy of the death notice or other sufficient documentation must be filed with and approved by the Administrator. If upon the death of the Participant there is, in the opinion of the Administrator, no designated Beneficiary for part or all of the Participant’s Account, such amount will be paid to his estate (such estate shall be deemed to be the Beneficiary for purposes of the Plan) in a single lump sum payment.
 
3.5   Change in Control. A Change in Control will occur upon a change in the ownership of the Plan Sponsor, a change in the effective control of the Plan Sponsor or a change in the ownership of a substantial portion of the assets of the Plan Sponsor. The Plan Sponsor, for this purpose, includes any corporation identified in Section 3.5(a).
 
    Whether a Change in Control has occurred for purposes of Section 3.3 will be determined by the Administrator in accordance with the rules and definitions set forth in this Section 3.5. A distribution to the Participant will

Article 3-1


 

    be treated as occurring upon a Change in Control if the Plan Sponsor terminates the Plan and distributes the Participant’s benefits within twelve months of a Change in Control as provided in Section 6.7.

  a)   Relevant Corporations. To constitute a Change in Control for purposes of the Plan, the event must relate to (i) the corporation for whom the Participant is performing services at the time of the Change in Control, (ii) the corporation that is liable for the payment of the Participant’s benefits under the Plan (or all corporations liable if more than one corporation is liable), or (iii) a corporation that is a majority shareholder of a corporation identified in (i) or (ii), or any corporation in a chain of corporations in which each corporation is a majority corporation of another corporation in the chain, ending in a corporation identified in (i) or (ii). A majority shareholder is defined as a shareholder owning more than fifty percent (50%) of the total fair market value and voting power of such corporation.
 
  b)   Stock Ownership. Code Section 318(a) applies for purposes of determining stock ownership. Stock underlying a vested option is considered owned by the individual who owns the vested option (and the stock underlying an unvested option is not considered owned by the individual who holds the unvested option). If, however, a vested option is exercisable for stock that is not substantially vested (as defined by Treasury Regulation Section 1.83-3(b) and (j)) the stock underlying the option is not treated as owned by the individual who holds the option. Mutual and cooperative corporations are treated as having stock for purposes of this Section 3.5.
 
  c)   Change in the Ownership of a Corporation. A change in the ownership of a corporation occurs on the date that any one person or more than one person acting as a group, acquires ownership of stock of the corporation that, together with stock held by such person or group, constitutes more than fifty percent (50%) of the total fair market value or total voting power of the stock of such corporation. If any one person or more than one person acting as a group is considered to own more than fifty percent (50%) of the total fair market value or total voting power of the stock of a corporation, the acquisition of additional stock by the same person or persons is not considered to cause a change in the ownership of the corporation (or to cause a change in the effective control of the corporation as discussed below in Section 3.5(d)). An increase in the percentage of stock owned by any one person, or persons acting as a group, as a result of a transaction in which the corporation acquires its stock in exchange for property will be treated as an acquisition of stock. Section 3.5(c) applies only when there is a transfer of stock of a corporation (or issuance of stock of a corporation) and stock in such corporation remains outstanding after the transaction. For purposes

Article 3-2


 

     of this Section 3.5(c), persons will not be considered to be acting as a group solely because they purchase or own stock of the same corporation at the same time or as a result of a public offering. Persons will, however, be considered to be acting as a group if they are owners of a corporation that enters into a merger, consolidation, purchase or acquisition of stock, or similar business transaction with the corporation. If a person, including an entity, owns stock in both corporations that enter into a merger, consolidation, purchase or acquisition of stock, or similar transaction, such shareholder is considered to be acting as a group with other shareholders in a corporation prior to the transaction giving rise to the change and not with respect to the ownership interest in the other corporation.
 
  d)   Change in the effective control of a corporation. A change in the effective control of a corporation occurs on the date that either (i) any one person, or more than one person acting as a group, acquires (or has acquired during the twelve month period ending on the date of the most recent acquisition by such person or persons) ownership of stock of the corporation possessing thirty-five (35%) or more of the total voting power of the stock of such corporation, or (ii) a majority of members of the corporation’s board of directors is replaced during any twelve month period by directors whose appointment or election is not endorsed by a majority of the members of the corporation’s board of directors prior to the date of the appointment or election, provided that for purposes of this paragraph (ii), the term corporation refers solely to the relevant corporation identified in Section 3.5(a) for which no other corporation is a majority shareholder for purposes of Section 3.5(a). In the absence of an event described in Section 3.5(d)(i) or (ii), a change in the effective control of a corporation will not have occurred. A change in effective control may also occur in any transaction in which either of the two corporations involved in the transaction has a change in the ownership of such corporation as described in Section 3.5(c) or a change in the ownership of a substantial portion of the assets of such corporation as described in Section 3.5(e). If any one person, or more than one person acting as a group, is considered to effectively control a corporation within the meaning of this Section 3.5(d), the acquisition of additional control of the corporation by the same person or persons is not considered to cause a change in the effective control of the corporation or to cause a change in the ownership of the corporation within the meaning of Section 3.5(c). For purposes of this Section 3.5(d), persons will or will not be considered to be acting as a group in accordance with rules similar to those set forth in Section 3.5(c) with the following exception. If a person, including an entity, owns stock in both corporations that enter into a merger, consolidation, purchase or acquisition of stock, or similar transaction, such shareholder is considered to be acting as a group with other shareholders in a

Article 3-3


 

      corporation only with respect to the ownership in that corporation prior to the transaction giving rise to the change and not with respect to the ownership interest in the other corporation.
 
  e)   Change in the ownership of a substantial portion of a corporation’s assets. A change in the ownership of a substantial portion of a corporation’s assets occurs on the date that any one person, or more than one person acting as a group (as determined in accordance with rules similar to those set forth in Section 3.5(d)), acquires (or has acquired during the twelve month period ending on the date of the most recent acquisition by such person or persons) assets from the corporation that have a total gross fair market value equal to or more than forty percent (40%) of the total gross fair market value of all of the assets of the corporation immediately prior to such acquisition or acquisitions. For this purpose, gross fair market value means the value of the assets of the corporation of the value of the assets being disposed of determined without regard to any liabilities associated with such assets. There is no Change in Control event under this Section 3.5(e) when there is a transfer to an entity that is controlled by the shareholders of the transferring corporation immediately after the transfer. A transfer of assets by a corporation is not treated as a change in ownership of such assets if the assets are transferred to (i) a shareholder of the corporation (immediately before the asset transfer) in exchange for or with respect to its stock, (ii) an entity, fifty percent (50%) or more of the total value or voting power of which is owned, directly or indirectly, by the corporation, (iii) a person, or more than one person acting as a group, that owns, directly or indirectly, fifty percent (50%) or more of the total value or voting power of all the outstanding stock of the corporation, or (iv) an entity, at least fifty (50%) of the total value or voting power of which is owned, directly or indirectly, by a person described in Section 3.5(e)(iii). For purposes of the foregoing, and except as otherwise provided, a person’s status is determined immediately after the transfer of assets.

Article 3-4


 

ARTICLE 4 – THE TRUST

4.1   Establishment of Trust. The Plan Sponsor shall establish a trust to hold amounts which the Plan Sponsor may contribute from time to time to correspond to some or all amounts credited to the Participant under Article 2.
 
4.2   Grantor Trust. The trust established by the Plan Sponsor shall be between the Plan Sponsor and a trustee pursuant to a separate written agreement under which assets are held, administered and managed, subject to the claims of the Plan Sponsor’s creditors in the event of the Plan Sponsor’s insolvency, until paid to the Participant and/or his Beneficiaries specified in the Plan. The trust is intended to be treated as a grantor trust under the Code, and the establishment of the trust shall not cause the Participant to realize current income on amounts contributed thereto.
 
4.3   Investment of Trust Funds. Any amounts contributed to the trust by the Plan Sponsor shall be invested by the trustee in accordance with the provisions of the trust and the instructions of the Administrator. Trust investments need not reflect the hypothetical investments selected by the Participant under Section 2.2 for the purpose of adjusting his Account and the earnings or investment results of the trust shall not affect the hypothetical investment adjustments to the Participant’s Account under the Plan.

Article 4-1


 

ARTICLE 5 – PLAN ADMINISTRATION

5.1   Powers and Responsibilities of the Administrator. The Administrator has the full power and the full responsibility to administer the Plan in all of its details, subject, however, to the applicable requirements of ERISA. The Administrator’s powers and responsibilities include, but are not limited to, the following:

  (a)   To make and enforce such rules and regulations as it deems necessary or proper for the efficient administration of the Plan;
 
  (b)   To interpret the Plan, its interpretation thereof in good faith to be final and conclusive on all persons claiming benefits under the Plan;
 
  (c)   To decide all questions concerning the Plan and the eligibility of any person to participate in the Plan;
 
  (d)   To administer the claims and review procedures specified in Section 5.2;
 
  (e)   To compute the amount of benefits which will be payable to the Participant or any Beneficiary in accordance with the provisions of the Plan;
 
  (f)   To determine the person or persons to whom such benefits will be paid;
 
  (g)   To authorize the payment of benefits;
 
  (h)   To comply with the reporting and disclosure requirements of Part 1 of Subtitle B of Title I of ERISA;
 
  (i)   To appoint such agents, counsel, accountants, and consultants as may be required to assist in administering the Plan;
 
  (j)   By written instrument, to allocate and delegate its responsibilities, including the formation of an Administrative Committee to administer the Plan.

5.2   Claims and Review Procedures.

  (a)   Claims Procedure. If any person believes he is being denied any rights or benefits under the Plan, such person may file a claim in writing with the Administrator. If any such claim is wholly or partially denied, the Administrator will notify such person of its

Article 5-1


 

      decision in writing. Such notification will contain (i) specific reasons for the denial, (ii) specific reference to pertinent Plan provisions, (iii) a description of any additional material or information necessary for such person to perfect such claim and an explanation of why such material or information is necessary, and (iv) information as to the steps to be taken if the person wishes to submit a request for review. Such notification will be given within 90 days after the claim is received by the Administrator (or within 180 days, if special circumstances require an extension of time for processing the claim, and if written notice of such extension and circumstances is given to such person within the initial 90-day period). If such notification is not given within such period, the claim will be considered denied as of the last day of such period and such person may request a review of his claim.
 
  (b)   Review Procedure. Within 60 days after the date on which a person receives a written notification of denial of claim (or, if written notification is not provided, within 60 days of the date denial is considered to have occurred), such person (or his duly authorized representative) may (i) file a written request with the Administrator for a review of his denied claim and of pertinent documents and (ii) submit written issues and comments to the Administrator. The Administrator will notify such person of its decision in writing. Such notification will be written in a manner calculated to be understood by such person and will contain specific reasons for the decision as well as specific references to pertinent Plan provisions. The decision on review will be made within 60 days after the request for review is received by the Administrator (or within 120 days, if special circumstances require an extension of time for processing the request, such as an election by the Administrator to hold a hearing, and if written notice of such extension and circumstances is given to such person within the initial 60-day period). If the decision on review is not made within such period, the claim will be considered denied.
 
  (c)   No action (whether at law, in equity or otherwise) shall be brought by or on behalf of any person for or with respect to benefits due under this Plan unless the person bringing such action has timely exhausted the Plan’s claims procedure and review procedure. Any action (whether at law, in equity or otherwise) must be commenced within three years. This three year period shall be computed from the earlier of (a) the date a final determination denying such benefit, in whole or in part, is issued under the Plan’s review procedure and (b) the date such individual’s cause of action first accrued.

5.3   Plan Administrative Costs. All reasonable costs and expenses (including legal, accounting, and employee communication fees) incurred

Article 5-2


 

    by the Administrator in administering the Plan shall be paid by the Plan Sponsor.

Article 5-3


 

ARTICLE 6 – MISCELLANEOUS

6.1   Unsecured General Creditor of the Plan Sponsor. The Participant and his Beneficiaries, heirs, successors and assigns shall have no legal or equitable rights, interests or claims in any property or assets of the Plan Sponsor. For purposes of the payment of benefits under the Plan, any and all of the Plan Sponsor’s assets shall be, and shall remain, the general, unpledged, unrestricted assets of the Plan Sponsor. The Plan Sponsor’s obligation under the Plan shall be merely that of an unfunded and unsecured promise to pay money in the future.
 
6.2   Plan Sponsor’s Liability. The Plan Sponsor’s liability for the payment of benefits under the Plan shall be defined only by the Plan. The Plan Sponsor shall have no obligation or liability to the Participant under the Plan except as provided by the Plan.
 
6.3   Limitation of Rights. Neither the establishment of the Plan, nor any amendment thereof, nor the creation of any fund or account, nor the payment of any benefits, will be construed as giving to the Participant or any other person any legal or equitable right against the Plan Sponsor or Administrator, except as provided herein; and in no event will the terms of employment or service of the Participant be modified or in any way affected hereby.
 
6.4   Nonalienation of Benefits. None of the benefits or rights of the Participant or any Beneficiary of the Participant shall be subject to the claim of any creditor. In particular, to the fullest extent permitted by law, all such benefits and rights shall be free from attachment, garnishment, or any other legal or equitable process available to any creditor of the Participant and his or her Beneficiary. Neither the Participant nor his Beneficiary shall have the right to alienate, anticipate, commute, pledge, encumber, or assign any of the payments which he or she may expect to receive, contingently or otherwise, under the Plan, except the right to designate a Beneficiary to receive death benefits provided hereunder. A distribution made to comply with Federal conflict of interest requirements shall be permitted, notwithstanding the provisions of Article 3.
 
6.5   Facility of Payment. If the Administrator determines, on the basis of medical reports or other evidence satisfactory to the Administrator, that the recipient of any benefit payments under the Plan is incapable of handling his affairs by reason of minority, illness, infirmity or other incapacity, the Administrator may disburse such payments to a person or institution designated by a court which has jurisdiction over such recipient or a person or institution otherwise having the legal authority under State law for the care and control of such recipient. The receipt by such person

Article 6-1


 

   or institution of any such payments therefore, and any such payment to the extent thereof, shall discharge the liability of the Plan Sponsor for the payment of benefits hereunder to such recipient.
 
6.6   Tax Withholding. The Plan Sponsor shall have the right to deduct from all payments or deferrals made under the Plan any tax required by law to be withheld. If the Plan Sponsor concludes that tax is owing with respect to any deferral or payment hereunder, the Plan Sponsor shall withhold such amounts from any payments due the Participant, as permitted by law, or otherwise make appropriate arrangements with the Participant or his Beneficiary for satisfaction of such obligation. Tax, for purposes of this Section 6.6 means any federal, state, local or any other governmental income tax, employment or payroll tax, excise tax, or any other tax or assessment owing with respect to amounts deferred, any earnings thereon, and any payments made to the Participant under the Plan.
 
6.7   Termination Following a Change in Control. In the event of a Change in Control, the Plan Sponsor reserves the right to terminate the Plan and distribute all amounts credited to the Participant’s Account as soon as administratively feasible but in no event later than twelve months following a Change in Control as defined in Section 3.5.
 
6.8   Amendment. The Plan Sponsor may amend the Plan in any respect whatsoever, provided that any such amendment that adversely affects the Participant in a material way shall be made only with the consent of the Participant.
 
6.9   Governing Law. The Plan will be construed, administered and enforced according to ERISA, and to the extent not preempted thereby, the laws of the State of New York.

Article 6-2


 

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Plan Sponsor by its duly authorized officer(s), has caused the Plan to be adopted on the 29th day of April, 2005.

In the event that the Trustee fails to receive a proper direction, the assets in question shall be invested in the investment option set forth for such purpose on Schedule “C” until the Trustee receives a proper direction.

          (d) Unfunded Status of Plan

The Sponsor’s designation of available investment options, the maintenance of accounts for each Participant, the crediting of investments gains (or losses) to such accounts, and the exercise by Participants of any powers relating to investments under this Agreement are solely for the purpose of providing a mechanism for measuring the obligation of the Sponsor to any particular Participant under the applicable Plan. As provided in this Agreement, no Participant will have any preferential claim to or beneficial ownership interest in any asset or investment held in the Trust, and the rights of any Participant under the applicable Plan and this Agreement are solely those of an unsecured general creditor of the Sponsor with respect to the benefits of the Participant under the Plan.

          (e) Mutual Funds.

On the effective date of this Agreement, in lieu of receiving a printed copy of the prospectus for each Fidelity Mutual Fund selected by the Sponsor as a Plan investment option or short-term investment fund, the Sponsor hereby consents to receiving such documents electronically. The Sponsor shall access each prospectus on the internet after receiving notice from the Trustee in writing that a current version is available online at a website maintained by the Trustee or its affiliate. Trustee represents that on the effective date of this Agreement, a current version of each such prospectus is available at https://www.fidelity.com or such successor website as Trustee may notify the Sponsor of in writing from time to time. The Sponsor represents that it has

7


 

accessed/will access each such prospectus as of the effective date of this Agreement at https://www.fidelity.com or such successor website as Trustee may notify the Sponsor of in writing from time to time. Transactions involving Non-Fidelity Mutual Funds shall be executed in accordance with the operational guidelines set forth in Schedule “F” attached hereto.

Trust investments in Mutual Funds shall be subject to the following limitations:

          (i) Execution of Purchases and Sales.

Purchases and sales of Mutual Funds (other than for exchanges) shall be made on the date on which the Trustee receives from the Sponsor In Good Order all information and documentation necessary to accurately effect such transactions and (if applicable) wire transfer of funds.

Exchanges of Mutual Funds shall be made in accordance with the Exchange Guidelines attached hereto as Schedule “E”.

          (ii) Voting.

The Sponsor directs the Trustee to vote the shares of Mutual Funds held in the Trust in the same manner as directed by Participants for the corresponding hypothetical shares of Mutual Funds credited to Participants’ accounts under the Plan.

The Participant shall have the right to direct the Trustee as to the manner in which the Trustee is to vote the hypothetical shares credited to the Participant’s account. The Trustee shall vote the shares held in the Trust in a manner which corresponds to Participant directions with respect to the hypothetical shares credited to the Participant’s Plan account. The Trustee shall not vote shares for which it has received no corresponding directions from the Participant.

During the Participant Recordkeeping Reconciliation Period, the Sponsor shall have the right to direct the Trustee as to the manner in which the Trustee is to vote the shares of the Mutual Funds in the Trust, including Mutual Fund shares held in any short-term investment fund for liquidity reserve. Following the Participant Recordkeeping Reconciliation Period, the Sponsor shall continue to have the right to direct the Trustee as to the manner in which the Trustee is to vote any Mutual Funds shares held in a short-term investment fund for liquidity reserve. The Trustee shall not vote any such Mutual Fund shares for which it has received no directions from the Sponsor.

With respect to all rights other than the right to vote, the Trustee shall follow the directions of the Sponsor. The Trustee shall have no further duty to solicit directions from the Sponsor or Participants.

          (j) Trustee Powers.

The Trustee shall have the following powers and authority:

82 Devonshire Street, MM3H, Boston, Massachusetts 02109, or to such other addresses as the parties have notified each other of in the foregoing manner.

       Section 11. Duration.

This Trust shall continue in effect without limit as to time, subject, however, to the provisions of this Agreement relating to amendment, modification, and termination thereof.

       Section 12. Insolvency of Sponsor.

          (a) The Trustee shall cease disbursement of funds for payment of benefits to Participants if the Sponsor is Insolvent.

          (b) 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 Sponsor under federal and state law as set forth below.

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

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

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

               (iv) The Trustee shall resume disbursement for the payment of benefits to Participants in accordance with this Agreement only after the Trustee has determined that the Sponsor 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 (a) hereof and subsequently resumes such payments, the first payment following such discontinuance shall include the aggregate amount of all payments due to Participants under the terms of the Plan for the period of such discontinuance, less the aggregate amount of any payments made to Participants by the Sponsor in lieu of the payments provided for hereunder during any such period of discontinuance.

       Section 13. Amendment or Modification.

This Agreement may be amended or modified at any time and from time to time only by an written instrument executed by both the Sponsor and the Trustee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is the intent of the parties that no such amendment shall conflict with the terms of the Plan or make the

13


 

Trust revocable. The individuals authorized to sign such instrument shall be those authorized by the Sponsor on Schedule “D”.

       Section 14. Termination

The trust shall not terminate until the date that all of the Sponsor’s liability under the Plan shall be satisfied in full. However, upon written approval of the Participant, the Sponsor may terminate the trust prior to such date. After payment of all benefits, fees and expenses of the trust, any remaining assets in the trust shall be returned to the Sponsor.

       Section 15. Assignment.

This Agreement, and any of its rights and obligations hereunder, may not be assigned by any party without the prior written consent of the other party(ies), and such consent may be withheld in any party’s sole discretion. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Trustee may assign this Agreement in whole or in part, and any of its rights and obligations hereunder, to a subsidiary or affiliate of Trustee without consent of the Sponsor. All provisions in this Agreement shall extend to and be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

       Section 16. Force Majeure.

No party shall be deemed in default of this Agreement to the extent that any delay or failure in performance of its obligation(s) results, without its fault or negligence, from any cause beyond its reasonable control, such as acts of God, acts of civil or military authority, embargoes, epidemics, war, riots, insurrections, fires, explosions, earthquakes, floods, unusually severe weather conditions, power outages or strikes. This clause shall not excuse any of the parties to the Agreement from any liability which results from failure to have in place reasonable disaster recovery and safeguarding plans adequate for protection of all data each of the parties to the Agreement are responsible for maintaining for the Plan.

       Section 17. Confidentiality.

Both parties to this Agreement recognize that in the course of implementing and providing the services described herein, each party may disclose to the other Confidential Information. All such Confidential Information, individually and collectively, and other proprietary information disclosed by either party shall remain the sole property of the party disclosing the same, and the receiving party shall have no interest or rights with respect thereto if so designated by the disclosing party to the receiving party. Each party agrees to maintain all such Confidential Information in trust and confidence to the same extent that it protects its own proprietary information, and not to disclose such Confidential Information to any third party without the written consent of the other party. Each party further agrees to take all reasonable precautions to prevent any unauthorized disclosure of Confidential Information. In addition, each party agrees not to disclose or make public to anyone, in any manner, the terms of this Agreement, except as required by law, without the prior written consent of the other party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Trustee may use Sponsor’s name in a general list of its customers, including any such list compiled for Fidelity Investment’s annual report to shareholders, without obtaining Sponsor’s prior consent.

       Section 18. General.

          (e) Partial Invalidity.

          (f) Section Headings.

The headings of the various sections and subsections of this Agreement have been inserted only for the purposes of convenience and are not part of this Agreement and shall not be deemed in any manner to modify, explain, expand or restrict any of the provisions of this Agreement.

With respect to Personal Data it receives, the Trustee agrees to (i) safeguard Personal Data in accordance with its privacy policy, and (ii) exercise the same standard of care in safeguarding such Personal Data that it uses to protect the personal data of its own employees. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Sponsor may monitor the Trustee’s interactions with Participants for the purpose of evaluating Trustee’s services.
