TRUST AGREEMENT

THIS AMENDMENT AND RESTATEMENT OF THE TRUST is made and entered into as of this 24th day of September, 2007 (the “Agreement”), by and between ALCOA INC. (the “Company”) and MELLON BANK, N. A. (the “Trustee”).

WITNESSETH:

WHEREAS, the Company and the NationsBank of North Carolina, N.A. have previously entered into a Trust Agreement dated as of December 17, 1993; and

WHEREAS, in August, 1998 Nationsbank of North Carolina, N.A. resigned as Trustee and the Company appointed Mellon Bank, N.A., as successor trustee under the Trust Agreement; and

WHEREAS, pursuant to Article XIII of the Agreement, the Company reserved the right to amend the Agreement; and

WHEREAS, the Company amended the Trust Agreement on August 1998 and December 2005 and desires to further amend the Trust Agreement as of the date hereof (as amended, the “Trust Agreement” or the “Agreement”; and

WHEREAS, the Company has established and maintains certain unfunded employee benefit plans and arrangements for the benefit of a select group of management and/or highly compensated employees and former employees of the Company (which plans and arrangements are each referred to herein individually as the “Plan” and collectively as the “Plans”); and

WHEREAS, each employee or former employee who is entitled or may become entitled to a benefit or benefits under the Plans (“Benefits”) is hereinafter referred to individually as a “Participant” and collectively as the “Participants,” which terms shall be deemed to include the “beneficiary” or “beneficiaries” of any Participant or Participants; and

WHEREAS, the Company has incurred and expects to continue to incur obligations pursuant to the terms of the Plans and wishes to establish the trust provided for herein (the “Trust”) to aid the Company in meeting such obligations under the Plans; and

WHEREAS, the Trust is intended to be a “grantor trust” with the corpus and income of the Trust treated as assets and income of the Company for federal income tax purposes pursuant to Section 671 through 677 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”); and

WHEREAS, the Company intends that the assets of the Trust will be subject to the claims of creditors of the Company as provided in Article II hereof; and


WHEREAS, amounts transferred to the Trust and the earnings thereon shall be used by the Trustee to satisfy the obligations of the Company in accordance with the provisions hereof; and

WHEREAS, upon satisfaction of all obligations of the Company with respect to all Participants, the assets, if any, of the Trust shall revert to the Company; and

WHEREAS, the Company intends that the existence of the Trust shall not alter the characteristics of the Plans as unfunded plans maintained primarily for the purpose of providing pensions or deferred compensation for a select group of management or highly compensated active and/or former employees for purposes of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”), and shall not be construed to provide income for tax purposes to any Participant under the Plans prior to the actual payment of Benefits thereunder;

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants contained herein and intending to be legally bound hereby, the Company and the Trustee agree as follows:

ARTICLE I: ESTABLISHMENT OF TRUST

1.1 Trust. The Company hereby establishes a Trust with the Trustee, consisting of such sums of cash or cash equivalents, life insurance contracts and split dollar insurance plans and arrangements (“Policy” or “Policies”) shares of stock, and other securities which are readily tradable, and other property subject to the acceptance of the Trustee, as shall from time to time be paid or delivered to the Trustee (“Qualified Assets”). With regard to shares of stock and other securities, the Trust may be invested only in (i) domestic US securities, or (ii) securities indexed or mutual funds offered in the U.S., which may hold foreign equity securities. Notwithstanding the foregoing, except for a debt instrument of the Company which matures upon a change in control as defined in Article XI (“Change in Control”), no stock, security, mortgages, debt instruments of, or real estate or any other assets owned by, leased to or used by or loaned to, the Company or its affiliates except for any thereof held in indexed funds shall be considered Qualified Assets. All Qualified Assets, all investments and reinvestments made therewith, or proceeds thereof, and all earnings and profits thereon, less all payments and charges as authorized herein, shall constitute the “Trust Fund” or “Fund.” The Trust Fund shall be held by the Trustee in Trust and shall be dealt with in accordance with the provisions of this Trust Agreement. The Trustee shall make no distinction between principal and income. The fair market value of such Qualified Assets as of the month end prior to date of a Potential Change in Control (defined in Article XI), as determined by the Trustee in its sole discretion (and with respect to life insurance policies assigned to the Trustee by the Company [the “Policies”] determined in accordance with Section 6.3) at the time of such Potential Change in Control, shall be referred to as the “Initial Funding Amount”.

1.2 Description of Trust. The Company represents and agrees that the Trust established under this Agreement is intended to be a depository arrangement with the Trustee for the setting aside of cash and other assets of the Company as and when it so determines in its sole discretion for the meeting of its future deferred compensation, retirement, life insurance and death benefit obligations to the Participants under the Plans identified on Schedule A, as such Schedule may be amended from time to time (the “Covered Plans”). The Company further represents that each Plan is a deferred compensation plan, an excess benefit plan or a benefit arrangement for a select group of management or highly compensated active and/or former employees, and as such is exempt from the application of ERISA except for the disclosure requirements applicable to such plans for which the Company bears full responsibility as to compliance. The Company further represents that the Covered Plans are not qualified under Section 401 of the Code and therefore, are not subject to any of the Code requirements applicable to tax-qualified plans. Company shall indemnify and hold harmless Trustee, its parent, subsidiaries and affiliates and each of their respective officers, directors, employees and agents from and against all liability loss and expense, including reasonable attorney’s fees and expenses suffered or incurred by any of the foregoing indemnities as a result of a breach of the foregoing representation and warranty. The provisions of this subsection shall survive termination of this Agreement.

1.3 Revocability. Prior to a Potential Change in Control, the Trust shall be revocable by the Company, and the participants shall have no right to any part of the Trust Fund. Subject to Section 11.4, upon a Potential Change in Control, no part of the income or corpus of the Trust Fund shall be recoverable by or for the benefit of the Company and the Trust shall not be amended or modified while a Potential Change of Control continues to exist, as determined pursuant to Section 11.4 Upon a Change of Control the Trust shall become irrevocable, and shall, except as provided in Articles II, XII and XIII, be held for the exclusive purpose of providing Benefits to Participants and defraying expenses of the Trust in accordance with the provisions of this Trust Agreement. Except as provided in Section 6.2 and Article II, once the Trust has become irrevocable, no part of the income or corpus of the Trust Fund shall be recoverable by or for the benefit of the Company until all Benefits owed to Participants under the Covered Plans have been fully paid.

1.4 Acceptance by the Trustee. The Trustee accepts the Trust established under this Trust Agreement on the terms and subject to the provisions set forth herein, and agrees to discharge and perform fully and faithfully all of the duties and obligations imposed upon it under this Trust Agreement.

ARTICLE II: CLAIMS OF COMPANY’S CREDITORS

2.1 No Security Interest. It is the intent of the parties hereto that the Trust Fund is and shall remain at all times subject to the claims of the Company’s general creditors. Accordingly, the Company has not and shall not create a security interest in the Trust Fund in favor of any Participant of the Covered Plans or any creditor.

2.2 Suspension of Payments. Notwithstanding any provisions in this Agreement to the contrary, if at any time while the Trust is still in existence the Company becomes insolvent or bankrupt (as defined in Section 2.3), the Trustee shall, upon written notice thereof

pursuant to Section 2.4, suspend the payment of all Benefits from the Fund and shall hold the Fund for the benefit of the Company’s general creditors, and shall deliver the entire amount of the Trust Fund only as a court of competent jurisdiction, or duly appointed receiver or other person authorized to act by such a court, may direct to make the Trust Fund available to satisfy the claims of the Company’s general creditors. Unless the Trustee has actual knowledge of the Company’s insolvency or bankruptcy, the Trustee shall have no duty to inquire whether the Company is insolvent or bankrupt.

2.3 Insolvency. The Company shall be deemed to be insolvent or bankrupt upon the occurrence of any of the following:

(a) the Company shall apply for or consent to the appointment of a receiver, trustee or liquidator of itself, or shall admit in writing its inability to pay its debts generally as they become due, or shall make a general assignment for the benefit of creditors, or shall institute proceedings to be adjudged a bankrupt or insolvent, or shall seek reorganization in a proceeding under any present or future bankruptcy law or shall admit the material allegations of a petition filed against the Company in any such proceeding, or shall seek relief under the provisions of any other present or future bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law providing for the reorganization or winding up of corporations, or the Company or its directors or majority shareholders shall take action looking to the dissolution or liquidation of the Company or an arrangement, composition, extension or adjustment with its creditors (except in connection with a consolidation or a merger of the Company with or into another corporation, a liquidation or a sale, transfer or other disposition of all or substantially all properties and assets of the Company); or

(b) without the consent of the Company, an order, judgment or decree shall be entered by any court of competent jurisdiction appointing a receiver, trustee or liquidator of the Company and such receiver, trustee or liquidator shall not have been removed or discharged within 90 days thereafter, or a substantial portion of the property of the Company shall be sequestered and shall not be returned to the possession of the Company within 90 days thereafter; or

(c) a petition against the Company in a proceeding under any present or future bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, composition, adjustment, winding up, insolvency, liquidation or other similar law shall be filed and any decree or order by a court of competent jurisdiction approving the filing of such petition as filed or amended or adjudging the Company a bankrupt or insolvent or decreeing or ordering the winding up or liquidation of the affairs thereof shall remain in force, undismissed, unstayed or unvacated for a period of 90 days after entry thereof, or if, under the provisions of any such law, any court of competent jurisdiction shall assume jurisdiction, custody or control of the Company or of any of its property and such jurisdiction, custody or control shall remain in force, unrelinquished, unstayed or unterminated, for a period of 90 days.

2.4 Notice of Insolvency or Solvency. By its approval and execution of this Agreement, the Company represents and agrees that its Chief Executive Officer and its General Counsel, as from time to time acting, shall have the fiduciary duty and responsibility

 

Amendment and Restatement of the Trust Agreement Between Mellon Bank, N.A. and Alcoa Inc.

4


on behalf of the Company’s creditors to give or cause to be given to the Trustee prompt written notice of any event of the Company’s insolvency or bankruptcy and/or subsequent solvency (“Notice”) specifying the date thereof; and the Trustee shall rely conclusively on any Notice of insolvency or bankruptcy and/or subsequent solvency to the exclusion of all directions or claims to pay Benefits. In the event that the Trustee has been given Notice and relying upon such Notice has suspended the payment of all Benefits from the Fund, during any period when such Notice is in effect, upon the written request of a Participant the Company shall conduct an analysis of its solvency or insolvency. Such analysis shall be commenced and completed within five business days of the Company’s receipt of such request, and immediate written notice of such analysis shall be given to the Trustee. The Company may refuse any request for an analysis of solvency or insolvency if received within 90 days of its concluding an analysis of solvency or insolvency pursuant to any Participant’s prior request for such analysis.

2.5 Resumption of Payments. The Trustee shall resume payments of Benefits to Participants within thirty (30) days of the Trustee’s receipt of Notice that the Company is not insolvent or bankrupt (or is no longer insolvent or bankrupt). The first payment to a Participant following a suspension of Benefit payments shall include the aggregate amount of all payments which would have been made to the Participant in accordance with the Covered Plans during the period of such suspension, less the aggregate amount of payments of Benefits under the Covered Plans made to the Participant by the Company during any such period of discontinuance.

2.6 Trust Recovery of Payments to Creditors. In the event that amounts are paid from the Trust Fund to the Company’s creditors (other than as provided herein to the Participants and for expenses of this Trust), then as soon as practicable (or if the Company is then insolvent or bankrupt, as soon as the Company is no longer insolvent or bankrupt) the Company shall deposit into the Trust Fund a sum equal to the amount paid by the Trust Fund to such creditors. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Trustee shall not be liable for any failure by the Company to deposit in the Trust Fund a sum equal to the amount paid by the Trust Fund to creditors in accordance with the provisions of Article II of this Agreement.

ARTICLE III: POWERS OF THE TRUSTEE

3.1 Investment of the Trust.

(a) Administrative Guidelines. Except as provided in Section 3.1(b), the Trust Fund shall be invested by the Trustee as directed by the Company. The Trustee shall act solely as a directed trustee.

Subsequent to a Change in Control, the Trustee shall in its sole discretion, invest the assets of the Trust fund in such investments as shall be determined by the Trustee in accordance with the powers contained herein.

(d) Market Practice Settlements. Settlements of transactions may be effected in trading and processing practices customary in the jurisdiction or market where the transaction occurs. The Company acknowledges that this may, in certain circumstances, require the delivery of cash or securities (or other property) without the concurrent receipt of securities (or other property) or cash.

(2) In accordance with the Trustee’s standard operating procedure, the Trustee will attend to the settlement of securities transactions on the basis of either contractual settlement date accounting or actual settlement date accounting. To the extent the Trustee settles certain securities transactions on the basis of contractual settlement date accounting, the Trustee may reverse to the contractual settlement date any entry relating to such contractual settlement if the Trustee reasonably believes that such amount will not be received.

3.2 Investment Powers of the Trustee. After a Change of Control the Trustee shall have the following investment powers and authority with respect to all property constituting a part of the Trust Fund in its discretion. Prior to a Change of Control if the Company directs investments or an investment manager has been appointed by the Company, the following powers may be exercised by the Trustee upon direction of the Company or an investment manager:

Amendment and Restatement of the Trust Agreement Between Mellon Bank, N.A. and Alcoa Inc.

4.2 Obligations.

(a) Obligation of Trustee. Subsequent to a Change in Control the Trustee shall make cash payments of Benefits to Participants at such times and in such amounts as are required of the Company under the Covered Plans pursuant to Section 4.3 to the extent such amounts are not paid by the Company. The Trustee shall pay such Benefits if it is not notified by the Company that it has already paid such Benefits.

(b) Obligation of Company. Notwithstanding anything in this Trust Agreement to the contrary, the Company shall remain primarily liable to pay Plan Benefits. Payments from this Trust Fund to Participants shall discharge, reduce and offset, to the extent of payments, the Company’s obligation to pay Plan Benefits. If the Company’s obligation to pay a Plan Benefit is not fully discharged, reduced and offset by a payment from this Trust, then the Company shall make the balance of each such Plan Benefit payment as it becomes due.

4.3 Determination of benefits Payable to Participants.

(a) Copy of Covered Plans. The Company shall provide the Trustee with copies of the Covered Plans and all amendments thereto, and of the resolutions of the Board of Directors of the Company or any Committee thereof approving the Covered Plans and all amendments thereto promptly upon their adoption. The Trustee shall be entitled to rely on the terms of each Plan as in effect prior to its amendment until the Trustee receives a copy of any such amendment.

(b) Participant Data. The Company shall maintain and include in its Administrative Guidelines, participant data (“Participant Data”) and other information necessary to enable the Trustee to determine, subsequent to a Change in Control the amount, time and form of payment of each Benefit payable to each Participant.

(c) Updating the Participant Data. Upon a Change in Control, the Company shall either (i) notify the Trustee that there have been no changes in the Administrative Guidelines from the Administrative Guidelines that the Trustee has most recently received, or (ii) if there have been changes in the Administrative Guidelines, provide the Trustee with Administrative Guidelines updated to the date of the Change in Control.

After a Change in Control, the Trustee shall update the Administrative Guidelines, at such time(s) as necessary to pay Benefits, from information furnished to it by the Company or by Participants, as provided in Section 4.4 hereof. The Trustee shall request information from the Company and Participants as necessary to update the Administrative Guidelines. Notwithstanding the foregoing, after a Change in Control, no person shall be entitled to receive Benefit payments from the Trust if such person was not identified as a Participant in a Covered Plan as of a date prior to a Change in Control.

 

Amendment and Restatement of the Trust Agreement Between Mellon Bank, N.A. and Alcoa Inc.

10


(d) After a Change in Control, the type of Benefit, the amount of Benefit, the time when such Benefit shall be paid to a Participant and all other determinations regarding the Benefits which are payable under the Covered Plans shall be determined in accordance with the Covered Plans as in effect on the day immediately preceding the date upon which a Change in Control occurs and payments of Benefits from the Trust Fund shall be determined in accordance with and only under such Covered Plans, using the Administrative Guidelines updated to, but not after the date of the Change in Control.

4.4 Company Records.

(a) The Company or its designee shall keep full, accurate and detailed books, records and Participant Data with respect to the Participants under the Covered Plans and the Benefits payable to the Participants. At such time or times as the Trustee shall reasonably request, the Company shall provide access to such books and records and to any third party retained by the Trustee to assist it.

(b) If, at any time after a Change in Control, the Trustee determines, in its discretion, that the Company has either failed or has refused or caused its designee to fail or refuse to give the Trustee accurate and sufficient Participant Data or sufficient access to the books and records referred to in Section 4.4 (a) hereof, the Trustee shall be entitled to rely, for the purpose of calculating Benefits, on the Participant Data furnished to the Trustee by the respective Participants (including Participant Data furnished at the time or after a claim for Benefits has been made), unless the Trustee believes that such Participant Data is incorrect.

(c) The Trustee shall be under no obligation to commence any action seeking judicial or administrative relief in the event that the Company does not comply with its obligations under Section 4.4(a) hereof or the respective Participants do not furnish Participant Data in accordance with Section 4.4(b) hereof.

ARTICLE V: CONTRIBUTIONS

5.1 Contributions.

(a) The Company shall deliver to the Trustee such Qualified Assets as the Company shall from time to time determine. At any time prior to a Potential Change in Control, the Trustee shall promptly deliver to the Company all or any portion of the Qualified Assets previously contributed to the Trust Fund as the Company may demand from time to time. In addition, if the Trustee is notified of a determination by the Incumbent Board that a Potential Change in Control no longer exists, on and after the date of such notification the Trust shall be administered as if a Potential Change in Control had not occurred including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company may demand that Qualified Assets (or the value thereof) previously contributed to the Trust Fund be returned to the Company and the Trustee shall comply with such demand.

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Trustee shall not be liable for any failure by the Company to provide contributions sufficient to pay Benefits under the Covered Plans in full or to cause required transfers of Qualified Assets to be made as herein required.

(c) For all purposes of this Trust Agreement, the present value of all unpaid Benefits under the Covered Plans shall be determined by the Trustee or by actuaries retained by the Trustee. In making such determination, the assumptions contained in the Administrative Guidelines will be used and relied upon by the Trustee or its agents.

(d) (1) If at any time the Trustee determines that in order to generate cash to pay current or future Benefits or to pay administrative expenses, it is necessary to either borrow from, withdraw from, encumber in any manner or surrender all or part of any of the Policies, including without limitation partial surrenders or distributions of policy values, the Trustee shall notify the Company in writing of its intention to do so and the amount of cash required. Thereupon, the Company shall have the option within 30 days to contribute Qualified Assets to the Trust in the amount stated in the notice, and if it does so the Trustee shall then refrain from making such loan, withdrawal, encumbrance or surrender until such subsequent time(s), if any, as the Trustee again determines that it is necessary to either borrow from, withdraw from, encumber or surrender one or more Policies, whereupon the Trustee shall again give written notice of its intention to do so and the cash required and the Company shall again have the option to contribute Qualified Assets, in the manner set forth above in this Section 5.1.

(2) Notwithstanding any other provision in this Trust Agreement, in the event the Company, upon written notice duly given by the Trustee, does not exercise its option to contribute Qualified Assets to the Trust in the amount stated in the Trustee’s notice within the time period allowed under Section 5.1(d) (1), the Trustee shall then be authorized to sell assets or to borrow from, withdraw from, encumber in any manner and/or surrender all or any of the Policies, even if the cash raised is in excess of the amount stated in such notice.

(3) After the occurrence of a Potential Change in Control and before the completion of a Change in Control, the Company shall make a contribution to the Trust in an amount equal to 110% of the “Potential Liabilities” (as defined below) minus the Initial Funding Amount (the “Required Funding Amount”). So long as the Trust is irrevocable, on each six-month anniversary of a Potential Change in Control, the Company shall reconcile the Required Funding Amount, and, to the extent the Required Funding Amount (as so recomputed) exceeds the aggregate amount theretofore deposited or contributed, the Company shall promptly contribute the amount of such excess to the Trust. All amounts so deposited or contributed shall become the principal of the Trust to be held, administered and disposed of by the Trustee as provided in this Agreement. The Trustee shall have no responsibility to determine the amount of a contribution. “Potential Liabilities” as of a particular date means an amount that is sufficient to pay each Participant the Benefits to which such Participant would be entitled pursuant to the terms of the Covered Plans as if a Change in Control had occurred as of such date.

5.2 Allocation of Contributions. As soon as administratively practical after the date of a Change in Control, and thereafter at least annually the Trustee shall determine after consultation with an enrolled actuary, whether the assets of the Trust are sufficient to provide all projected Benefits, as determined using the assumptions set forth in the Administrative Guidelines. In the event that the assets are sufficient, the Trustee shall determine Benefits in accordance with the terms of the Covered Plans. In the event that the assets are not sufficient, the Trustee shall determine whether the Administrative Guidelines establish a priority between and among the Covered Plans and/or various types of Participants. If a priority is so established, the Trustee, after consultation with the actuary, shall determine the allocation of the assets based on such priority. In any event the Trustee then shall prorate the Benefits payable under any Covered Plan based upon the relationship of the assets so allocated to a Covered Plan to that Covered Plan’s projected Benefits.

5.3 Expense Account. In addition to contributions made pursuant to the preceding sections of this Article V, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee such other amounts as the Trustee deems necessary or appropriate to provide for the payment of expenses of the Trust within 30 days notice thereof from the Trustee. Such contributions shall be held in an “Expense Account.” Notwithstanding anything in this Trust Agreement to the contrary, any such Expense Account contributions, and earnings thereon, shall be irrevocable, and except as provided in Article II and Article XII, shall be applied solely toward the payment of Trust expenses. Within thirty (30) days following the occurrence of a Potential Change in Control, the Company shall make a contribution to the Trust in the amount necessary so that the Expense Account is at least equal to $200,000.

(b) Subject to the provisions of Article II hereof, upon receiving an application for payment of a Benefit, the Trustee shall notify the Company of the application, including the amount of the Benefit payable, and the Trustee shall make such payments as are required unless the Company (within 30 days of such notice) proves to the satisfaction of the Trustee that the Company has paid the Benefit to the Participant. Following the first such payment of a Benefit to a Participant, payments of such Benefits shall continue in accordance with the applicable Covered Plan unless and until the Company proves to the satisfaction of the Trustee that it has resumed paying such Benefit.

to Section 5.1(c) hereof) calculated on said December 31, then in the event of the receipt by the Trustee within 120 days following such December 31 of a written request executed by the Company, the Trustee shall transfer to the Company, within 30 days of the receipt of such request, such assets of the Trust Fund, other than Policies, as the Trustee shall select and which have a fair market value in the aggregate up to the amount which is in excess of 110% of the sum of the present value of all unpaid Benefits under the Covered Plans (as determined by the Trustee pursuant to Section 5.1(c) hereof).

(b) No transfer or reversion pursuant to Section 6.2(a) above shall occur if the Trustee has previously given notice pursuant to Section 5.1(d) hereof of its intention to borrow from, withdraw from, encumber or surrender Policies and the Company failed within the allotted time to contribute Qualified Assets as provided in said Section.

6.3 Valuations. As of the closing of business at the end of each calendar quarter of a year, (“Valuation Date”) the Trustee shall determine the fair market value of the Trust Fund. The fair market value of the Policies shall be based upon their cash surrender values. Notwithstanding, it is understood and agreed that the Trustee is obligated to determine the fair market value of the Trust Fund as set forth in this Section 6.3 only if it has received in a timely manner all necessary information which the Trustee has requested from a third party or parties in a timely manner.

6.4 Company as Owner of Accounts. It is the intention of the Company to have each account established hereunder treated as a separate account designed to aid the Company in satisfying its legal liability under the Covered Plans, and to have the balance, if any, in any such account revert to the Company after all of the Company’s liabilities with respect to the Benefits have been met. The Company agrees that all income, deductions, and credits of each such account belong to it as owner for income tax purposes and will be included on the Company’s income tax returns or any other required tax returns and will be the sole obligation of and paid by the Company.

7.1 Taxes.

(a) The Company shall from time to time pay taxes of any and all kinds whatsoever which at any time are levied or assessed upon or become payable in respect of the Trust Fund, the income or any property forming a part thereof; or any security transaction pertaining thereto. At the Company’s request and expense the Trustee shall contest the validity of such taxes in any manner deemed appropriate by the Company or its counsel, but only if it has received an indemnity bond or other security satisfactory to it to pay any expenses of such contest. Alternatively, the Company may itself contest the validity of any such taxes.

(b) The Trustee shall notify the Company or its designee of any tax assessments which it receives on any income or property maintained in the Trust Fund, and, unless notified to the contrary by the Company or its designee within 90 days, shall pay such taxes or assessments.

Trustee shall be entitled to reasonable compensation for the services rendered under this Agreement, as agreed to by the parties. Company acknowledges that, as part of Trustee’s compensation, Trustee may earn interest on balances, including disbursement balances and balances arising from purchase and sale transactions.

Upon failure of the Company to pay such expenses, the Trustee may satisfy such obligations out of the assets of the Trust Fund.

ARTICLE VIII: ADMINISTRATION AND RECORDS

8.1 Records. The Trustee shall keep or cause to be kept accurate and detailed accounts of any investments, receipts, disbursements and other transactions hereunder, and all accounts, books, and records relating thereto shall be open to inspection and audit at all reasonable times by any person designated by the Company.

If within 90 days after the filing of such account neither the Company nor any Participant has filed with the Trustee notice of any objection to any act of transaction of the Trustee, the initial account shall become an account stated as between the Trustee, the Company, and all persons having or claiming to have an interest in the Trust Fund. If any objection has been filed, and if the Company or Participant who filed such objection is satisfied that it should be withdrawn, the objecting party shall in writing file with the Trustee signifying its approval of the account, and it shall become an account stated as between the Trustee, the Company, and all persons having or claiming to have an interest in the Trust Fund. If the account is adjusted following an objection thereto, the Trustee shall file with the Company and make available for inspection by Participants the adjusted account, and if within 30 days after such filing of an adjusted account neither the Company nor any Participant has filed with the Trustee notice of any objection to the transactions as so adjusted, the adjusted account shall become an account stated as between the Trustee, the Company, and all persons having or claiming to have an interest in the Trust Fund.

TRUSTEE AND DESIGNATION OF SUCCESSOR TRUSTEE

9.1 Resignation.

(a) The Trustee may resign at any time before or after a Change in Control upon 180 days prior written notice to the Company. The Company shall make a good faith effort, following receipt of notice of resignation from the Trustee, to find and to appoint a successor trustee who shall adhere to the obligations imposed on the Trustee under the terms of the Trust Agreement. The Trustee shall condition its acceptance of such successor on its determination that the successor trustee satisfies the criteria set forth in the immediately preceding sentence and on the obtaining from such successor of a written statement that the successor has read the Trust Agreement and related documents, understands its obligations thereunder and has accepted its appointment in writing. In the event the Company has failed to appoint a successor trustee within 60 days of the Trustee’s notice of resignation, the Trustee shall be entitled to seek judicial removal. In any event, the Trustee shall continue to be custodian of the Trust Fund until the new trustee is in place, and the Trustee shall be entitled to expenses and fees through the later of the effective date of its resignation as Trustee or the end of its custodianship of the Trust Fund.

(b) Notwithstanding the above, after a Potential Change in Control the Trustee may resign only if it has obtained the agreement of a bank or trust company with assets in excess of $2 billion and a net worth in excess of $100 million to replace it as Trustee under the terms of this Trust Agreement.

(b) upon receipt of a written request, signed by 10% or more of the Participants, for the removal of any Trustee and the appointment of a specified successor, the Trustee shall conduct a vote of Participants with respect to such removal and designation of a successor; and

(c) a vote of a majority of all Participants shall be required for the removal of any Trustee and the appointment of the specified successor.
