                                    ARTICLE I

                             ESTABLISHMENT OF TRUST

1.1  The Corporation hereby deposits with the Trustee for its Account under the
     Trust $1,000, which shall become the principal of the Trust to be held,
     administered and disposed of by the Trustee as provided in this Trust
     Agreement.



1.2  The Trust hereby established is revocable but, subject to the provisions of
     Section 6.2 hereof, shall become irrevocable upon the earlier of a
     Potential Change in Control, as defined in Section 16.2 herein, or a Change
     in Control, as defined in Section 16.3 herein.

1.3  The Trust is intended to be a grantor trust, of which the Corporation and
     each associated company is the grantor, within the meaning of subpart E,
     part I, subchapter J, chapter 1, subtitle A of the Internal Revenue Code of
     1986, as amended, and shall be construed accordingly.

1.4  The principal of the Trust, and any earnings thereon, shall be held
     separate and apart from other funds of the Corporation and each of the
     associated companies and shall be used exclusively for the uses and
     purposes of Plan participants, their beneficiaries and the Corporation's
     and each associated company's general creditors, and paying the expenses of
     administering the Trust as herein set forth. Furthermore, any amounts
     attributable to a particular Plan and to a particular associated company
     shall be accounted for separately, even though for investment purposes
     Trust assets can be commingled. Plan participants and their beneficiaries
     shall have no preferred claim on, or any beneficial ownership interest in,
     any assets of the Trust. Any rights created under the Plan(s) and this
     Trust Agreement shall be mere unsecured contractual rights of Plan
     participants and their beneficiaries against the Corporation and, if
     applicable, any associated company. Any assets held by the Trust will be
     subject to the claims of the Corporation's or associated company's general
     creditors, as the case may be, under Federal and state law in the event of
     Insolvency, as defined in Section 4.1 herein. The rights of creditors of
     any associated company shall be limited to the assets held for that company
     under the trust.



1.5  The Corporation and each associated company, in its sole discretion, may at
     any time, or from time to time, make additional deposits of cash or,
     subject to Section 5.3, other property (including, in the case of the
     Corporation, but not limited to, treasury shares of the Corporation) in
     trust with the Trustee to augment the principal to be held, administered
     and disposed of by said Trustee as provided in this Trust Agreement. The
     Corporation may make contributions on behalf of an associated company. Any
     contribution made to the Trust shall be credited to the Account of the
     company for which the contribution is made and further allocated under the
     Account to the Plan for which the contribution is intended, and this
     information will be supplied by the Corporation at the time of the deposit
     or allocation. Neither the Trustee nor any Plan participant or beneficiary
     shall have any right to compel such additional deposits; provided, however,
     upon the earlier of a Potential Change in Control or Change in Control, if
     the Trust assets are less than 110% of the benefit liabilities under the
     Plan(s), the Corporation and each associated company shall, as soon as
     possible, but in no event later than seven days following such event, make
     a contribution in cash or property to the Trust in an amount, determined by
     the Benefit Determiner, which, taken together with the value of the
     existing Trust assets, is no less than 110% of the amount needed to pay
     each Plan participant and beneficiary the benefits to which such Plan
     participant or beneficiary would be entitled pursuant to the terms of the
     Plan(s) as of the date on which the earlier of the Potential Change in
     Control or Change in Control occurs. In addition, subject to the provisions
     of Section 6.2 hereof, after the earlier of a Potential Change in Control
     or Change in Control, if the Trust assets become insufficient to pay all
     benefits to which participants or beneficiaries of deceased participants
     are entitled under the Plan(s), as determined by the Benefit Determiner,
     the Corporation or associated company shall contribute to the Trust the
     additional amount necessary to fully fund their respective benefit
     liabilities under the Plan(s) as determined by the Benefit



     Determiner. A copy of any such determination by the Benefit Determiner
     shall be provided to the Trustee.

1.6  In addition, the Corporation and any associated company may at any time,
     and the Corporation shall upon the occurrence of the earlier of a Potential
     Change in Control or Change in Control, make a contribution to a Legal
     Defense Fund established under Article X of this Trust Agreement. The
     primary purpose of these funds would be to enable the Trustee to take such
     legal action as it deems necessary after a Change in Control to protect the
     participants and beneficiaries entitlement to benefits under the Plan(s)
     after a Change in Control occurs and to pay legal expenses incurred by the
     Trustee or Benefit Determiner in protecting participants' and
     beneficiaries' entitlement to benefit under the Plan(s).

                                   ARTICLE II

       DESIGNATION OF BENEFIT DETERMINER AND PAYMENTS TO PLAN PARTICIPANTS

2.1  By its acceptance of this Trust, the Trustee hereby agrees to the
     designation by the Corporation of a "Benefit Determiner" under this Trust
     Agreement. Prior to a Change in Control, the selection and retention of a
     Benefit Determiner shall be the sole responsibility of the Corporation. In
     the event a Change in Control occurs, the responsibility for selection and
     retention of a Benefit Determiner resides with the Trustee. In that case,
     the Trustee in its sole discretion may, but need not, designate a new
     Benefit Determiner or may continue to use the same Benefit Determiner, or
     in the event said firm does not accept its designation as Benefit
     Determiner or accepts said designation and subsequently resigns, the
     Trustee shall designate a new Benefit Determiner; provided, however, any
     Benefit Determiner newly appointed by the Trustee shall be independent of
     the Corporation. In any event, the Benefit Determiner, or any successor
     thereto, shall be a



     signatory under the Trust Agreement. The Benefit Determiner may resign at
     any time by delivering written notice to the Corporation and Trustee;
     provided, however, that no such resignation shall take effect until the
     earlier of (a) sixty (60) days from the date of delivery of such notice to
     the Corporation or in the event a Change in Control occurs, the Trustee or
     (b) the appointment of a successor Benefit Determiner, or such shorter
     period as agreed upon in writing by the parties.

2.2  Except for the records dealing solely with the funds and their investment,
     which shall be maintained by the Trustee, the Benefit Determiner shall
     maintain all the Plan participant and beneficiary records contemplated by
     this Trust Agreement.

2.3  Upon the establishment of the Trust or as soon thereafter as practicable,
     the Corporation shall furnish to the Benefit Determiner all the information
     necessary to determine the benefits payable to or with respect to each
     participant and beneficiary under the Plan(s). The Corporation shall
     regularly, at least annually, and upon the earlier of a Potential Change in
     Control or Change in Control, furnish revised updated information to the
     Benefit Determiner. In the event the Corporation refuses or neglects to
     provide updated participant information, as contemplated herein, the
     Benefit Determiner shall be entitled to rely upon the most recent
     information furnished to it by the Corporation or the participant. The
     Corporation shall give notice to the Benefit Determiner at any time there
     is a change in benefits or personal information under the Plan(s).

2.4  The Benefit Determiner (if the Corporation is unable or unwilling to do so)
     shall periodically prepare a benefit statement in respect to each
     participant's benefits under the Plan(s) and shall furnish a copy of same
     to the participant or his or her beneficiary and to the Corporation.



2.5  Upon the direction of the Corporation, before or after a Potential Change
     in Control or Change in Control occurs, or upon the proper application,
     after a Change in Control occurs, of a participant or beneficiary of a
     deceased participant who is entitled to benefits under the Plan(s) to the
     Trustee, the Corporation, or if the Corporation is unable, unwilling or
     otherwise refuses to do so, the Benefit Determiner, shall prepare a
     certification to the Trustee that a participant's or beneficiary's benefits
     under the Plan(s) have become payable. Such certification shall include the
     amount of such benefits, the manner of payment and personal information
     regarding the participant or beneficiary, including the participant's or
     beneficiary's name, social security number, and last known address.

2.6  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Benefit Determiner, if
     required by this Trust, shall calculate the benefit of each participant, or
     beneficiary under a Plan. To the extent a participant's, or his or her
     beneficiary's, benefit is payable from a Plan, the Benefit Determiner shall
     have full discretionary authority to resolve any question which shall arise
     under the Plan as to any person's eligibility for benefits, the calculation
     of benefits, the form, commencement date, frequency, duration of payment,
     or the identity of the beneficiary. Such question shall be resolved by the
     Benefit Determiner under rules uniformly applicable to all person(s) or
     employee(s) similarly situated.

2.7  Upon the receipt of such certified statement and such appropriate Federal,
     state and local tax withholding information as may be available from the
     Corporation or the Benefit Determiner, the Trustee, upon direction from the
     Corporation, (or in the case of a Change in Control, if the Corporation is
     unable, unwilling, or otherwise refuses to do so, upon direction of the
     Benefit Determiner) shall, as soon as practicable, commence cash
     distributions from the Trust in



     accordance therewith to the person or persons so indicated, and with
     respect to taxes required to be withheld, to the Corporation, and the
     Benefit Determiner shall charge the appropriate Account(s) under the Trust.
     The Trustee shall furnish a copy of such certification to the participant
     or beneficiary of the deceased participant. The Corporation or an
     associated company, as the case may be, shall have full responsibility for
     the payment of all withholding taxes to the appropriate taxing authority
     and shall furnish each participant or beneficiary with the appropriate tax
     information form evidencing such payment and the amount thereof.

2.8  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Corporation on behalf
     of itself or any associated company, instead of the Trustee, may make
     payment of benefits directly to Plan participants or their beneficiaries as
     they become due under the terms of the Plan(s). The Corporation shall
     notify the Trustee or the Benefit Determiner of its decision to make
     payment of benefits directly prior to the time amounts are payable to
     participants or their beneficiaries.

2.9  Nothing provided in this Trust Agreement shall relieve the Corporation or
     any of the participating associated companies of their obligations and
     liabilities to pay the benefits provided under the Plan(s) except to the
     extent such obligations and liabilities are met by application of Trust
     assets or by payments made directly by the Corporation or an associated
     company, as the case may be.

                                   ARTICLE III

     CORPORATION RESPONSIBILITY REGARDING DOCUMENTATION, CONTRIBUTIONS, AND
                                 INDEMNIFICATION

3.1  The Corporation shall provide the Trustee and Benefit Determiner with a
     certified copy



     of the Plan(s) and all amendments thereto and of the resolutions of the
     Board of Directors of the Corporation approving the Plan(s) and all
     amendments thereto, promptly upon their adoption. After the execution of
     this Trust Agreement, the Corporation shall promptly file with the Trustee
     and the Benefit Determiner a certified list of the names and specimen
     signatures of those officers of the Corporation and any delegate authorized
     to act for it. The Corporation shall promptly notify the Trustee and the
     Benefit Determiner of the addition or deletion of any person's name to or
     from such list, respectively. Until receipt by the Trustee and/or the
     Benefit Determiner of notice that any person is no longer authorized to so
     act, the Trustee or the Benefit Determiner may continue to rely on the
     authority of the person. All certifications, notices and directions by any
     such person or persons to the Trustee or the Benefit Determiner shall be in
     writing signed by such person or persons. The Trustee and the Benefit
     Determiner may rely on any such certification, notice or direction
     purporting to have been signed by or on behalf of such person or persons
     that the Trustee or the Benefit Determiner believes to have been signed
     thereby. The Trustee and the Benefit Determiner may rely on any
     certification, notice or direction of the Corporation that the Trustee or
     the Benefit Determiner believes to have been signed by a duly authorized
     officer or agent of the Corporation. The Trustee and the Benefit Determiner
     shall have no responsibility for acting or not acting in reliance upon any
     certification, notice or directions believed by the Trustee or the Benefit
     Determiner to have been so signed by a duly authorized officer or agent of
     the Corporation. The Corporation shall be responsible for keeping accurate
     books and records with respect to the employees of the Corporation and
     associated companies, their compensation and their rights and interests in
     the Trust under the Plan(s). The Trustee may rely on all certifications
     issued by the Benefit Determiner without any obligation to verify the
     accuracy of the calculations or information contained therein.



3.2  The Corporation and each associated company shall make its contributions to
     the Trust in accordance with appropriate corporate action. The Trustee
     shall have the responsibility, after the earlier of a Potential Change in
     Control or Change in Control, to compel the Corporation or associated
     company under Section 1.5 hereof to make additional deposits or take other
     action to compel payments in amounts determined by the Benefit Determiner
     to be necessary, in accordance with Section 1.5, to fully fund the Trust to
     pay all benefits to which participants or beneficiaries of deceased
     participants are entitled under the Plan(s). The Trustee shall not be held
     responsible for the Corporation's or associated companies' refusal to fund
     as required herein. Any such contributions or payments shall be made to the
     Trust and shall be properly allocated to the appropriate Accounts. If more
     than one Plan is covered by the Trust or if more than one employer is
     participating in the Trust, the Corporation and the associated companies
     shall indicate the amount of its contributions intended for each Plan and
     for each employer's Account. The Trustee shall also have the responsibility
     to compel the Corporation and associated companies to make, after the
     occurrence of the earlier of a Potential Change in Control or Change in
     Control, the required contributions under Article X to the Legal Defense
     Fund. The Corporation shall be required to notify the Trustee of the
     occurrence of any Potential Change in Control or Change in Control as
     promptly as practicable following the occurrence thereof. Anything else
     contained in this Section 3.2 to the contrary notwithstanding, the Trustee
     shall not have the responsibility to compel the Corporation or the
     associated companies to make the contributions required pursuant to Section
     1.5 or Article X hereof unless and until the Trustee has actual knowledge
     or has received notice from the Corporation that either a Potential Change
     in Control or Change in Control, as applicable, shall have occurred.



3.3  The Corporation shall indemnify and hold harmless the Trustee for any
     liability or expenses, including without limitation reasonable attorney's
     fees, incurred by the Trustee with respect to holding, managing, investing
     or otherwise administering the Trust, other than those resulting from the
     Trustee's gross negligence or willful misconduct.

3.4  The Corporation shall indemnify and hold harmless the Benefit Determiner
     for any liability or expenses, including without limitation reasonable
     attorney's fees, incurred by the Benefit Determiner with respect to keeping
     the participants' benefits records and reporting thereon, certifying
     benefit information to all parties, including the Trustee, participants or
     beneficiaries, and the Corporation, and any other business properly coming
     before the Benefit Determiner in connection to carrying out its obligations
     under this Trust Agreement, other than those resulting from the Benefit
     Determiner's gross negligence or willful misconduct.

3.5  If the Trustee or the Benefit Determine undertakes or defends any
     litigation arising in connection with this Trust, including, but not
     limited to any litigation undertaken or defended against the Corporation,
     the Corporation agrees to indemnify the Trustee and the Benefit Determiner
     against the Trustee's or the Benefit Determiner's reasonable costs,
     expenses and liabilities (including, without limitation, attorney's fees
     and expenses) relating thereto and to be primarily liable for such
     payments. If the Corporation does not pay such costs, expenses and
     liabilities in a reasonably timely manner, the Trustee or the Benefit
     Determine may obtain payment from the Trust other than the Legal Defense
     Fund, except as permitted under Section 1.6 and Article X. The Corporation
     or associated company shall reimburse the Trust for any such payments.



                                   ARTICLE IV

   TRUSTEE RESPONSIBILITY REGARDING PAYMENTS TO PARTICIPANTS AND BENEFICIARIES
                           WHEN EMPLOYER IS INSOLVENT

4.1  If a participating employer is Insolvent, as hereinafter defined, the
     Trustee shall, subject to Section 4.2 hereof, cease payment of benefits to
     Plan participants of that Insolvent employer and their beneficiaries. The
     Corporation or an associated company, as the case may be, shall be
     considered "Insolvent" for purposes of this Trust Agreement if (a) the
     Corporation or the associated company is unable to pay its debts as they
     become due, or (b) the Corporation or the associated company is subject to
     a pending proceeding as a debtor under the United States Bankruptcy Code.
     Payments to Plan participants and their beneficiaries of an employer who is
     not Insolvent shall not be affected by the Insolvency of another employer.

4.2  At all times during the continuance of this Trust, as provided in Section
     1.4 hereof, the principal and income of the Trust held for the benefit of a
     particular employer shall be subject to claims of general creditors of that
     employer under Federal and state law as set forth below.

     (a)  The Board of Directors of the Corporation and the Chief Executive
          Officer of the Corporation shall have the duty to inform the Trustee
          in writing of the Corporation's or any of the associated companies'
          Insolvency. If a person claiming to be a creditor of the Corporation
          or of an associated company alleges in writing to Trustee that the
          Corporation or an associated company has become Insolvent, the Trustee
          shall determine whether the Corporation or an associated company is
          Insolvent and, pending such determination, the Trustee shall
          discontinue payment of benefits to Plan participants of that employer
          and their beneficiaries.



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

     (c)  If at any time the Trustee has determined that the Corporation or an
          associated company is Insolvent, the Trustee shall discontinue and not
          make any payments to Plan participants of that employer or their
          beneficiaries and shall hold the assets of the Trust held for the
          benefit of the Corporation's or an associated company's, as the case
          may be, general creditors. Nothing in this Trust Agreement shall in
          any way diminish any rights of Plan participants or their
          beneficiaries to pursue their rights as general creditors of the
          Corporation or an associated company with respect to benefits due
          under the Plan(s) or otherwise at their own expense.

     (d)  The Trustee shall resume the payment of benefits to Plan participants
          and their beneficiaries in accordance with Article II of this Trust
          Agreement only after the Trustee has determined that the affected
          employer is not Insolvent (or is no longer Insolvent).

4.3  Provided that there are sufficient assets held on behalf of a participating
     employer, if the Trustee discontinues the payment of benefits from the
     Trust to Plan participants and their beneficiaries pursuant to Section 4.2
     hereof and subsequently resumes such payments, the first payment following
     such discontinuance shall include the aggregate amount of all payments due
     to such Plan



     participants and their beneficiaries under the terms of the Plan(s) for the
     period of such discontinuance, less the aggregate amount of any payments
     made to such Plan participants and their beneficiaries by the Corporation
     or an associated company in lieu of the payments provided for hereunder
     during any such period of discontinuance. If Trust assets held in Account
     on behalf of the Corporation or associated company are insufficient to make
     such payments in full, payments shall be paid on a pro rata basis
     determined by comparing the assets available under the Account to the total
     payments due under the Plan(s) to the participants of that company and
     their beneficiaries.

                                    ARTICLE V

                              INVESTMENT AUTHORITY

5.1  Prior to a Potential Change in Control or Change in Control, the
     Corporation shall direct the Trustee as to the investment of all assets
     within the Trust. Subsequent to a Potential Change in Control or Change in
     Control, the Trustee shall have full discretion in and sole responsibility
     for investment, management and control of the Trust assets. The Trustee
     shall exercise this responsibility consistent with the underlying purpose
     of the Trust and consistent with the underlying purpose of a Plan under
     which participants have made deemed investments elections with respect to
     their benefits under the Plan. Plans in which deemed investment elections
     have been made should be invested by the Trustee in amounts that
     approximate participant liabilities and in investments that replicate those
     elections, or in similar type investments, as determined by the Trustee.
     Plans for which no distinct deemed investment elections are made by
     participants or by the Plan should be invested in a suitable portfolio of
     high quality government and agency securities providing for returns that
     approximate the discount rate applicable to the Plan. Trustee may rely upon
     information provided by Benefit Determiner in order to determine investment
     selections. Trustee may reallocate investments periodically to update the
     investment mix in accordance with



     Section 5.1 as often as Trustee deems appropriate. An investment direction
     by the Corporation shall be ineffective for investments made after a Change
     in Control occurs. All rights associated with Trust assets shall be
     exercised by the Trustee or the person designated by the Trustee, and shall
     in no event be exercisable by participants or beneficiaries.

5.2  Powers of Trustee. Except as otherwise specifically provided in this Trust
     Agreement, the Trustee is authorized and empowered:

     (a)  To purchase, hold, sell, invest and reinvest the Trust assets,
          together with income therefrom;

     (b)  To hold, manage and control all property at any time forming part of
          the Trust assets;

     (c)  To sell, convey, transfer, exchange and otherwise dispose of the Trust
          assets from time to time in such manner, for such consideration and
          upon such terms and conditions as it shall determine;

     (d)  To make payments from the Trust as provided hereunder;

     (e)  To cause any property of the Trust to be issued, held or registered in
          the individual name of the Trustee, or in the name of its nominee, or
          in such form that title will pass by delivery; provided, however, that
          the records of the Trustee shall indicate the true ownership of such
          property; and

     (f)  To do all other acts necessary or desirable for the proper
          administration of the Trust assets as though the absolute owner
          thereof, and to exercise all the further rights, powers, options and
          privileges granted, provided for or vested in trustees generally under
          applicable Federal or New York law, as amended from time to time, it
          being intended that, except as herein otherwise provided, the powers
          conferred upon the Trustee herein shall not be



          construed as being in limitation of any authority conferred by law,
          but shall be construed as in addition thereto.

5.3  Notwithstanding anything else contained herein to the contrary, prior to
     the occurrence of a Change in Control, the Corporation may contribute
     securities of the Corporation (including treasury and authorized but
     unissued securities) to the Trust or may direct the Trustee to invest
     assets of the Trust in such securities, and shall direct the Trustee as to
     the continued holding of any Corporation securities, including treasury
     securities and authorized but unissued securities (whether contributed to
     the Trust by the Corporation or purchased at the direction of the
     Corporation); provided that the Corporation shall not make a contribution
     in the form of its stock or a direction to the Trustee to acquire or hold
     such stock by the Corporation shall not be controlling or in effect, unless
     and until the Trustee has a Registration Rights Agreement in effect with
     the Corporation. The Trustee shall, until a Change in Control occurs, vote
     any securities of the Corporation it owns in the same way (determined on a
     percentage basis) as employees vote their shares of the Corporation's stock
     under the International Flavors & Fragrances Inc. Retirement Investment
     Fund Plan. In the event of any tender or exchange offer for all or any part
     of any class of Corporation security, the Trustee shall, until a Change in
     Control occurs, accept or reject such offer as to all or any portion of
     such class of security held under the Trust in the same proportion as the
     employees accept or reject such tender or exchange offer with respect to
     their shares under the International Flavors & Fragrances Inc. Retirement
     Investment Fund Plan. The Corporation shall assure that aggregate
     information concerning the action taken with respect to Corporation stock
     by participants under that plan shall be promptly supplied by the trustee
     of that plan to the Trustee, while maintaining the confidentiality of
     instructions given by individual participants. Except in connection with a
     tender or exchange offer as described above, prior to a Change in Control
     securities of the Corporation held by the Trust will not be sold by the
     Trustee for the purpose of providing benefits hereunder or



     otherwise applied by the Trustee for such purpose. After such Change in
     Control occurs, the Trustee can, subject to applicable securities law
     requirements, sell or dispose of any Corporation securities it owns in
     order to pay benefits due under the Plan(s) or to pay expenses or
     liabilities arising under the Trust. The Corporation shall take such action
     and make such payments as are necessary to assure that the Trustee shall
     have full registration rights under Federal and state securities laws with
     respect to securities of the Corporation held by it. The Corporation shall
     indemnify the underwriters in any public offering of Corporation securities
     and pay all expenses related to such offering and if not paid by the
     Corporation such amounts shall be a charge against the Trust and shall
     constitute a lien in favor of the Trustee until paid by the Corporation.

5.4  Except as provided in Section 5.3 hereof, the Corporation shall have the
     right at any time, and from time to time, in its sole discretion, to
     substitute assets of equal fair market value for any asset held by the
     Trust, provided that after a Change in Control occurs only cash can be
     substituted for assets held by the Trust. This right is exercisable by the
     Corporation in a nonfiduciary capacity without the approval or consent of
     any person in a fiduciary capacity. Notwithstanding anything in this
     Agreement to the contrary, the Trustee shall have no duty to review any
     assets substituted or any assets otherwise held prior to a Change in
     Control with respect to prudence or proper diversification.

                                   ARTICLE VI

   No DIVERSION OF ASSETS AFTER CHANGE IN CONTROL BEFORE FULL BENEFIT PAYMENT

6.1  After a Change in Control occurs, the Corporation shall have no right or
     power to direct the Trustee to return to the Corporation or to divert to
     others any of the Trust assets before all payment of benefits has been made
     to Plan participants and their beneficiaries pursuant to the terms of the
     Plan(s).



6.2  Prior to the occurrence of a Change in Control, the Corporation shall be
     permitted to withdraw from the Trust all or a portion of the assets of the
     Trust; provided that the provisions of this Section 6.2 shall not be
     applicable during the pendency of or during the one year period following
     the cessation of a Potential Change in Control. In addition, prior to the
     occurrence of a Change in Control, any cash dividends paid on shares of
     stock of the Corporation held in the Trust shall be transferred by the
     Trustee to the Corporation as soon as administratively practicable
     following the date or dates such dividends are paid.

                                   ARTICLE VII

                              DISPOSITION OF INCOME

7.1  Except as provided in Section 6.2 hereof, during the term of this Trust,
     all income received by the Trust, net of expenses and taxes, shall be
     accumulated and reinvested and the Corporation and associated companies
     shall pay any Federal, state or local taxes on the Trust or any part
     thereof and on the income therefrom attributable to the assets held on
     their behalf under the Trust.

                                  ARTICLE VIII

                              ACCOUNTING BY TRUSTEE

8.1  The Trustee shall keep accurate and detailed records of all investments,
     receipts, disbursements, and all other transactions made or required to be
     made, including such records as shall be agreed upon in writing between the
     Corporation and Trustee. Within 30 days following the close of each
     calendar year and within 30 days after the removal or resignation of the
     Trustee, the Trustee shall deliver to the Corporation a written account of
     its administration of the Trust during such year or during the period from
     the close of the last preceding year to the date of such removal or
     resignation, setting forth all investments, receipts, disbursements and
     other transactions effected by



     it, including a description of all securities and investments purchased and
     sold with the cost or net proceeds of such purchases or sales (accrued
     interest paid or receivable being shown separately), and showing all cash,
     securities and other property held in the Trust at the end of such year or
     as of the date of such removal or resignation, as the case may be. Upon the
     expiration of 90 days following the filing of each written account with the
     Corporation, the Trustee shall be forever released and discharged from all
     liability and further accountability to the Corporation and any other
     person with respect to accuracy of such account and the propriety of all
     acts or failures to act reflected in such account. The foregoing sentence
     shall not apply if within the 90-day period, a written objection to the
     filing is sent to the Trustee by the Corporation; provided that such
     sentence shall apply if the written objection is resolved by the Trustee to
     the Corporation's satisfaction.

                                   ARTICLE IX

                            RESPONSIBILITY OF TRUSTEE

9.1  (a)  The Trustee shall act with the care, skill, prudence and diligence
          under the circumstances then prevailing that a prudent person acting
          in like capacity and familiar with such matters would use in the
          conduct of an enterprise of a like character and with like aims;
          provided, however, that the Trustee shall incur no liability to any
          person for any action taken pursuant to a direction, request or
          approval given by the Corporation or by the Benefit Determiner which
          is contemplated by, and in conformity with, the terms of the Plan(s)
          or this Trust Agreement and is given in writing by the Corporation or
          by the Benefit Determiner. Notwithstanding anything in the previous
          sentence to the contrary, the Trustee may assume that any calculation
          made by the Benefit Determiner has been made in accordance with terms
          of the Plan(s). In the event of a dispute between the Corporation



          and a party, the Trustee may, subject the provisions of Section 11.1,
          at the expense of the Trust apply to a court of competent jurisdiction
          to resolve the dispute.

     (b)  The Trustee or the Benefit Determiner may consult with legal counsel
          (who may also be counsel for the Corporation generally) with respect
          to any of its duties or obligations hereunder at the expense of the
          Trust, subject to the provisions of Section 11.1.

     (c)  The Trustee may hire agents, accountants, actuaries, investment
          advisors, financial consultants or other professionals to assist it in
          performing any of its duties or obligations hereunder at the expense
          of the Trust, subject to the provisions of Section 11.1.

     (d)  The Trustee shall have, without exclusion, all powers conferred on
          trustees by applicable law, unless expressly provided otherwise
          herein; provided, however, that if an insurance policy is held at the
          direction of the Corporation as an asset of the Trust, the Trustee
          shall have no power to name a beneficiary of the policy other than the
          Trust, to assign the policy (as distinct from conversion of the policy
          to a different form) other than to a successor trustee, or to loan to
          any person the proceeds of any borrowing against such policy, unless
          directed to do so by the Corporation to either keep the policy in
          force or to pay benefits.

     (e)  Notwithstanding any powers granted to the Trustee pursuant to this
          Trust Agreement or applicable law, the Trustee shall not have any
          power that could give this Trust the objective of carrying on a
          business and dividing the gains therefrom, within the meaning of
          Section 301.7701-2 of the Procedure and Administrative Regulations
          promulgated pursuant to the Internal Revenue Code.

          benefits to participants and beneficiaries and to pay expenses
          reimbursable under Section 3.5 but only after the satisfaction of
          liabilities attributable to participants' and beneficiaries' benefits
          under the Plan as certified by the Benefit Determiner.

     balance sheet assets of at least 40 billion dollars shall be appointed by
     the Corporation. Such successor trustee shall be a

                                  ARTICLE XIII

                                    AMENDMENT

13.1 This Trust Agreement may be amended, in whole or in part, including
     Appendix A hereof, at any time and from time to time, by the Corporation,

     attributable to a participating employer under this Trust to an existing or
     newly-established Trust or other vehicle which provides the same protection
     of a participant's interest as this Trust does. The approval of such

     Control, during the one-year period following the cessation of a Potential

     (such periods being referred to collectively as the "Protected Period"),
     this Trust Agreement may not be amended by the Corporation in any manner
     adverse to participants and beneficiaries of the Plans, other than for
     reasons to maintain, on the advice of counsel, the Trust's status as an
     unfunded grantor trust.



                                   ARTICLE XIV

                                   TERMINATION

     Plan(s) and their beneficiaries and all other liabilities of the Trust.
     Upon receipt of a written certification from the Benefit Determiner that
     all liabilities have been satisfied with respect to all participants in the
     Plan(s) and their beneficiaries and upon satisfaction of all other

     the same form as this Trust Agreement.

     case may be. Upon completing such distribution, the Trustee shall be
     relieved and discharged. The powers of the Trustee shall continue as long
     as any part of the Trust remains in its possession.

     beneficiary under this Trust, and shall, after a Change in Control occurs,
     be entitled to enforce all terms and provisions hereof with the same force
     and effect as if such person had been a party hereto at his own expense.

16.2 For purposes of this Trust, a Potential Change in Control shall be deemed
     to have occurred if there shall have occurred any of the following:

     (i)   The Company enters into an agreement, the consummation of which would
           constitute a Change in Control;

     (ii)  The Company or any "person" as such term is used in Section 13(d) and

           their ownership of stock of the Company), publicly announces its
