Section 2. Trust.

(a) Establishment. The Sponsor hereby establishes the Trust with the Trustee. The Trust shall consist of an initial contribution of money, FMC Technologies Stock, or other property acceptable to the Trustee in its sole discretion, made by the Sponsor or transferred from a previous trustee under the Plan, such additional sums of money as shall from time to time be delivered to the Trustee under the Plan, all investments made therewith and proceeds thereof, and all earnings and profits thereon, less the payments that are made by the Trustee as provided herein, without distinction between principal and income. The Trustee hereby accepts the Trust on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement. In accepting this Trust, the Trustee shall be accountable for the assets received by it, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

(b) Revocability. The Trust hereby established is revocable by the Sponsor. The Trust shall become irrevocable upon a Change in Control or upon a Potential Change in Control, unless a Change in Control does not occur during the twelve (12) month period following the Potential Change in Control. If a Change in Control does not occur during such twelve (12) month period, the Trust shall again be revocable by the Sponsor.

(c) Grantor Trust. The Trust is intended to be a grantor trust, of which the Sponsor is the grantor, within the meaning of subpart E, part I, subchapter J, chapter 1, subtitle A of the Code, as amended, and shall be construed accordingly.

(d) Trust Assets. The principal of the Trust, and any earnings thereon shall be held separate and apart from other funds of the Sponsor and shall be used exclusively for the uses and purposes of Participants and general creditors as herein set forth. 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 and this Trust Agreement shall be mere unsecured contractual rights of Participants and their beneficiaries against the Sponsor. Any assets held by the Trust will be subject to the claims of the Sponsor’s general creditors under federal and state law in the event of the Sponsor’s Insolvency, as defined in Section 14(a), and subject to an Affiliate’s creditors in the event of the subsidiary’s Insolvency, as defined in Section 14(a), to the extent Trust assets were contributed to the Trust on behalf of the Affiliate’s employees.

(e) Contributions. It is the intent of the parties that this Trust remain fully funded at all times. However, in the event that the Sponsor ceases to make contributions at any point in time and/or the Sponsor has knowledge that a Change of Control is imminent, the Sponsor shall, as soon as practicable after said contribution is due and/or as soon as practicable after the Sponsor has knowledge that a Change in Control is imminent, but no later than the day immediately preceding the contribution due date or the Change in Control, identify and contribute to the Trust the sum of the following (collectively the “Full Funding Amount”):

(i) With respect to the Plan, the amount by which the present value of all benefits required under the Plan to be deposited in trust after said contribution is due or upon a Change in Control exceeds the value of the Trust assets.

 

4


(ii) A reasonable estimate provided by the Trustee of its fees due over the remaining duration of the Trust.

(iii) A reasonable estimate of the taxes expected to be due over the remaining duration of the Trust.

(f) Administrator. Until a Potential Change in Control or a Change in Control, “Administrator” means the Compensation and Organization Committee of the Board of Directors of Sponsor (“Board”). Upon a Potential Change in Control or a Change in Control, any changes in the membership of the Administrator, including appointment of new members to replace resigning members, will be made by the Administrator itself. The Administrator shall have the duty to inform the Trustee, in writing, of a Potential Change in Control or a Change in Control, and the Trustee shall have no responsibility to comply with the Potential Change in Control or Change in Control provisions of this Agreement until the Trustee has received such written notice.

(g) Non-Assignment. Benefit payments to Participants and their beneficiaries funded under this Trust may not be anticipated, assigned (either at law or in equity), alienated, pledged, encumbered, or subjected to attachment, garnishment, levy, execution, or other legal or equitable process.

Section 3. Payments to Sponsor. Except as provided under Section 14, after the Trust has become irrevocable, the Sponsor shall have no right to retain or divert to others any of the Trust assets before all payment of benefits have been made to the Participants and their beneficiaries pursuant to the terms of the Plan.

Section 4. Disbursements.

(a) Directions from Administrator. The Trustee shall disburse monies to Participants and their beneficiaries for benefit payments in the amounts that the Administrator directs from time to time in writing. The Trustee shall not disburse monies to any non-employees or other persons, including but not limited to, any directors or non-resident alien participants, who are required to receive any form other than

 

5


Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) Form W-2 (Wage and Tax Statement), nor shall the Trustee be responsible for ascertaining whether the Administrator’s direction complies with the terms of the Plan or applicable law. With regard to said Participants, the Trustee shall disburse monies to the Administrator in accordance with a Payment Schedule (“Payment Schedule”) that indicates the amounts payable in respect of each Participant and such other details deemed appropriate by both the Administrator and the Trustee, and the Administrator shall retain full responsibility for making disbursements to any non-employees or other persons, including but not limited to, any directors or non-resident alien participants, who are required to receive any form other than IRS Form W-2. The Trustee shall be responsible for Federal and State income tax reporting or withholding with respect to Plan benefits paid from the Trust. The Trustee shall not be responsible for FICA (Social Security and Medicare), any Federal or State unemployment or local tax with respect to Plan distributions.

(b) Payments with No Stated Procedure. If a payment required under the terms of the Plan has not been made to a Participant, and the underlying Plan has no stated procedure for the Participant to collect the benefits, then the Participant may notify the Trustee in writing of the amount (or a reasonable estimate of the amount) owed to the Participant pursuant to the Plan, and the date such amount was due and payable. The Trustee shall notify the Administrator within fifteen (15) calendar days of the receipt of such a payment request. If the Trustee does not receive from the Sponsor a notarized statement as to the proper amount due and payable to the Participant within thirty (30) calendar days of the date the Trustee notified the Administrator in writing of the payment request, then the Trustee shall make the payment requested by the Participant from the assets of the Trust, and may conclusively rely on such payment or payments as being the appropriate amount. The Trustee also shall notify the Administrator of such payment and to the extent of such payment, the Sponsor’s obligation to the Participant for benefits under the Plan shall be deemed satisfied. If the Sponsor’s notarized statement as to the proper amount due and payable to the Participant differs from the amount set forth in the Participant payment request, then the Trustee shall retain any disputed amount in Trust pending resolution of the dispute by the Sponsor and the Participant pursuant to the Plan. Subject to the sufficiency of the assets of the Trust, payment shall be made to a Participant from the Trust in accordance with the terms of this Section 4(b) and the Plan until the earlier of:

(i) The date all benefit commitments due to the Participant or the Participant’s beneficiaries under the Plan, as requested by the Participant in his or her notification to the Trustee, have been satisfied; or

(ii) The Administrator provides a notarized statement that shows the proper amount due to the Participant. If such a notarized statement is so provided, appropriate adjustment, if any, shall be made in the remaining amount paid to the Participant.

 

6


(c) Limitations. The Trustee shall not be required to make any disbursement in excess of the net realizable value of the assets of the Trust at the time of the disbursement. If the assets are not sufficient to make such distributions, the Sponsor shall be obligated to make the balance of each payment when due. The Trustee shall not be required to make any disbursement in cash unless the Administrator has provided a written direction as to the assets to be converted to cash for the purpose of making the disbursement.

(d) Participants Subject to Federal Income Taxation. Except as otherwise provided herein, in the event of any final determination by the IRS or a court of competent jurisdiction which determination is not appeallable or the time for appeal or protest of which has expired, or the receipt by the Trustee of a substantially unqualified opinion of tax counsel selected by the Trustee, which determination determines, or which opinion opines, that any Participant is subject to Federal income taxation on amounts held in trust hereunder prior to the distribution to the Participant of such amounts, the Trustee shall, upon receipt by the Trustee of such opinion or notice of such determination, pay to such Participant the portion of the Trust corpus includible in such Participant’s Federal gross income and, to the extent of such payment, the Sponsor’s obligation to the Participant for benefits under the Plan shall be deemed satisfied.

Section 5. Investment of Trust.

(a) Selection of Investment Options. The Trustee shall have no responsibility for the selection of investment options under the Trust and shall not render investment advice to any person in connection with the selection of such options.

(b) Available Investment Options. The Sponsor shall direct the Trustee as to what investment options the Trust shall be invested in (i) during the period beginning on the initial transfer of assets to the Trust and ending on the completion of the Participant Recordkeeping Reconciliation Period, and (ii) following the Participant Recordkeeping Reconciliation Period, subject to the following limitations. The Sponsor may determine to offer as investment options only: (1) FMC Stock, (2) FMC Technologies Stock and (3) Fidelity Mutual Funds and Non-Fidelity Mutual Funds identified collectively as certain Mutual Funds as listed on Schedule “A” attached hereto; provided, however, that the Trustee shall not be considered a fiduciary with investment discretion. The Sponsor may add or remove investment options with the consent of the Trustee and upon mutual amendment of this Trust Agreement and the Schedules thereto to reflect such additions.

Sponsor 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. This right is exercisable by Sponsor in a non-fiduciary capacity without the approval or consent of any person in a fiduciary capacity.

 

7


(c) Investment Directions. In order to provide for an accumulation of assets comparable to the contractual liabilities accruing under the Plan, the Sponsor may direct the Trustee in writing to invest the assets held in the Trust to correspond to the hypothetical investments made for Participants under the Plan. Such directions may be made by Plan Participants by use of a Participant service representative, the VRS, the internet or such other electronic means as may be agreed upon from time to time by the Sponsor and the Trustee, maintained for such purposes by the Trustee or its agents, in accordance with Schedule “E.” In the event that the Trustee fails to receive a proper direction from the Sponsor or from Participants, the assets in question shall be invested in Fidelity Retirement Government Money Market Portfolio until the Trustee receives a proper direction.

The Sponsor’s designation of available investment options, the maintenance of accounts for each Plan Participant and the crediting of investments to such accounts, the giving of investment directions by Participants, and the exercise by Participants of any other powers relating to investments are solely for the purpose of providing a mechanism for measuring the obligation of the Sponsor to any particular Participant under the applicable Plan. No Participant or beneficiary will have any preferential claim to or beneficial ownership interest in any asset or investment, and the rights of any Participant and his or her beneficiaries 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.

(d) Mutual Funds. The Sponsor hereby acknowledges that it has received from the Trustee a copy of the prospectus for each Mutual Fund selected by the Sponsor as a Plan investment option. 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 purchases and sales (or in the case of a purchase, the subsequent date on which the Trustee has received a wire transfer of funds necessary to make such purchase). Transactions involving Non-Fidelity Mutual Funds shall be executed in accordance with the operating procedures set forth in Schedule “D” attached hereto. Exchanges of Fidelity Mutual Funds shall be made on the same business day that the Trustee receives a proper direction if received before market close (generally 4:00 p.m. eastern time); if the direction is received after market close (generally 4:00 p.m. eastern time), the exchange shall be made the following Business Day.

(ii) Voting. At the time of mailing of notice of each annual or special stockholders’ meeting of any Mutual Fund, the Trustee shall send a copy of the notice and all proxy solicitation materials

 

8


to each Plan Participant who has hypothetical shares of the Mutual Fund credited to the Participant’s accounts, together with a voting direction form for return to the Trustee or its designee. 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 accounts. The Trustee shall vote the shares held in the Trust in the same manner as directed by the Participant under the Plan. 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. 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 duty to solicit directions from the Sponsor.

(e) Stock.

(i) FMC Stock Fund. Trust investments in FMC Stock shall be made via the FMC Stock Fund. Investments in the FMC Stock Fund shall consist primarily of shares of FMC Stock. The FMC Stock Fund shall also include cash or short-term liquid investments, in accordance with this paragraph, in amounts designed to satisfy daily participant exchange or withdrawal requests. Such holdings will include Colchester Street Trust: Money Market Portfolio: Class I, or such other Mutual Fund as agreed to in writing by the Sponsor and Trustee. The Sponsor shall, after consultation with the Trustee, establish and communicate to the Trustee in writing a target percentage and drift allowance for such short-term liquid investments. Subject to its ability to execute open-market trades in FMC Stock or to otherwise trade with the Sponsor, the Trustee shall be responsible for ensuring that the short-term investments held in the FMC Stock Fund falls within the agreed-upon range over time. Each Participant’s hypothetical, proportional interest in the FMC Stock Fund shall be measured in units of participation, rather than shares of FMC Stock. Such units shall represent a hypothetical, proportionate interest in all of the assets of the FMC Stock Fund, which includes shares of FMC Stock, short-term investments and at times, receivables and payables (such as receivables and payables arising out of unsettled stock trades). The Trustee shall determine a daily NAV for each unit outstanding of the FMC Stock Fund. Valuation of the FMC Stock Fund shall be based upon: (1) the Closing Price or, if not available, (2) the price determined in good faith by the Trustee taking into account the latest available price of FMC Stock, as reported on the NYSE or such other principal national securities exchange on which FMC Stock is traded. The NAV shall be adjusted for gains or losses realized on sales of FMC Stock, appreciation or depreciation in the value of those shares owned, dividends paid on FMC Stock to the extent not used to purchase additional units of the FMC Stock Fund for affected Participants, and interest on the short-term investments held by the FMC Stock Fund, payables and receivables for pending stock trades, receivables for dividends not yet distributed, and payables for other expenses of the FMC Stock Fund, including principal obligations, if any, and expenses that, pursuant to Sponsor direction, the Trustee accrues or pays from the FMC Stock Fund.

 

9


(A) Acquisition Limit. Pursuant to the Plan, the Trust may be invested in FMC Stock to the extent necessary to comply with investment directions in accordance with this Agreement. The Sponsor shall be responsible for providing specific direction on any acquisition limits required by the Plan or applicable law. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, effective as of the Spin-Off Date, contributions and exchanges into the FMC Stock Fund are prohibited.

(B) Fiduciary Duty. The Sponsor shall continually monitor the suitability of acquiring and holding FMC Stock. The Trustee shall not be liable for any loss or expense which arises from the directions of the Sponsor with respect to the acquisition and holding of FMC Stock, unless it is clear on their face that the actions to be taken under those directions would be prohibited by the foregoing fiduciary duty rules or would be contrary to the terms of this Agreement.

(C) Purchases and Sales of FMC Stock. Unless otherwise directed by the Sponsor in writing pursuant to directions that the Trustee can administratively implement, the following provisions shall govern purchases and sales of FMC Stock.

(I) Open Market Purchases and Sales. Purchases and sales of FMC Stock shall be made on the open market in accordance with the Trustee’s standard trading guidelines, as they may be amended by the Trustee from time to time, as necessary to honor exchange and withdrawal activity and to maintain the target cash percentage and drift allowance for the FMC Stock Fund, provided that:

(1) If the Trustee is unable to purchase or sell the total number of shares required to be purchased or sold on such day as a result of market conditions; or

(2) If the Trustee is prohibited by the Securities and Exchange Commission, the NYSE or principal exchange on which FMC Stock is traded, or any other regulatory body from purchasing or selling any or all of the shares required to be purchased or sold on such day, then the Trustee shall purchase or sell such shares as soon thereafter as administratively feasible.

(II) Purchases and Sales from or to Sponsor. If directed by the Sponsor in writing prior to the trading date, the Trustee may purchase or sell FMC Stock from or to the Sponsor if the purchase or sale is for adequate consideration and no commission is charged. If Sponsor contributions (employer) or contributions made by the Sponsor on behalf of the Participants (employee) under the Plan are to be invested in FMC Stock, the Sponsor may transfer FMC Stock in lieu of cash to the Trust.

 

10


(III) Use of an Affiliated Broker. The Sponsor hereby directs the Trustee to use NFSLLC to provide brokerage services in connection with any purchase or sale of FMC Stock on the open market, except in circumstances where the Trustee has determined, in accordance with its standard trading guidelines or pursuant to Sponsor direction, to seek expedited settlement of the trades. NFSLLC shall execute such directions directly or through any of its affiliates. The provision of brokerage services shall be subject to the following:

(1) As consideration for such brokerage services, the Sponsor agrees that NFSLLC shall be entitled to remuneration under this direction provision in an amount of no more than three and one-fifth cents ($.032) commission on each share of FMC Stock. Any change in such remuneration may be made only by a signed agreement between the Sponsor and Trustee.

(2) The Trustee will provide the Sponsor with periodic reports which summarize all securities transaction-related charges incurred with respect to trades of FMC Stock for such Plan.

(3) Any successor organization of NFSLLC, through reorganization, consolidation, merger or similar transactions, shall, upon consummation of such transaction, become the successor broker in accordance with the terms of this direction provision.

(4) The Trustee and NFSLLC shall continue to rely on this direction provision until notified to the contrary. The Sponsor reserves the right to terminate this direction upon written notice to NFSLLC (or its successor) and the Trustee, in accordance with Section 9 of this Agreement.

(D) Execution of Purchases and Sales of Units. Unless otherwise directed in writing pursuant to directions that the Trustee can administratively implement, purchases and sales of units shall be made as follows:

(I) Subject to subparagraphs (II) and (III) below, purchases and sales of units in the FMC Stock Fund (other than for exchanges) shall be made on the date on which the Trustee receives from the Administrator in good order all information, documentation, and wire transfers of funds (if applicable), necessary to accurately effect such transactions. Exchanges of units in the FMC Stock Fund shall be made in accordance with the Exchange Guidelines attached hereto as Schedule “E.”

 

11


(II) Aggregate sales of units in the FMC Stock Fund on any day shall be limited to the FMC Stock Fund’s Available Liquidity for that day. In the event that the requested sales exceed the Available Liquidity, then transactions shall be processed giving precedence to distributions, and withdrawals, and otherwise on a FIFO basis, as provided in the Specified Hierarchy. So long as the FMC Stock Fund is open for such transactions, sales of units that are requested but not processed on a given day due to insufficient Available Liquidity shall be suspended until Available Liquidity is sufficient to honor such transactions in accordance with the Specified Hierarchy.

(III) The Trustee shall close the FMC Stock Fund to sales or purchases of units, as applicable, on any date on which trading in the FMC Stock has been suspended or substantial purchase or sale orders are outstanding and cannot be executed.

(E) Securities Law Reports. The Trustee shall not be responsible for filing any reports required under Federal or state securities laws with respect to the Trust’s ownership of FMC Stock, including, without limitation, any reports required under section 13 or 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The Sponsor shall be responsible for immediately notifying the Trustee in writing of any requirement known to the Sponsor to stop purchases or sales of FMC Stock. The Trustee shall provide to the issuer of FMC Stock such information on the Trust’s ownership of FMC Stock as the issuer of FMC Stock may reasonably request in order to comply with Federal or state securities laws.

(F) Voting and Tender Offers. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement the provisions of this Section shall govern the voting and tendering of FMC Stock. The Sponsor shall pay for all printing, mailing, tabulation and other costs associated with the voting and tendering of FMC Stock to the extent that such costs are not paid for by the issuer of FMC Stock.

(I) Voting. Prior to the Spin-Off date, for all shares of FMC Stock, both those that are hypothetically allocated to Participants in the form of units and those that are unallocated, the Trustee shall vote as directed by the Sponsor, except as otherwise required by law.

interest in the FMC Stock Fund, and the percentages of shares hypothetically owned by each Participant as of the record date through reports and/or data tape. The issuer of FMC Stock shall be responsible for distributing proxy materials and voting instruction forms to Participants holding an interest in the FMC Stock Fund. In the event that the issuer of FMC Stock does not distribute said proxy materials and voting instruction forms to Participants holding a hypothetical interest in FMC Stock, the Sponsor shall: (1) utilize its best efforts to timely distribute or cause to be distributed to Participants said information; and (2) upon request, provide the Trustee with a copy of any material provided to the Participants and certify to the Trustee that the materials have been mailed or otherwise sent to Participants.

Directions from a Participant to the Trustee concerning the voting of Sponsor Stock shall be communicated in writing, or by such other means as is agreed upon by the Trustee and the Sponsor. These directions shall be held in confidence by the Trustee and shall not be divulged to the Sponsor, or any officer or employee thereof, or any other person except to the extent that the consequences of such directions are reflected in reports regularly communicated to any such persons in the ordinary course of the performance of the Trustee’s services hereunder. Upon its receipt of the directions, the Trustee shall vote the shares of FMC Stock reflecting the Participant’s hypothetical, proportional interest in the FMC Stock Fund as directed by the Participant. After the Spin-Off Date, except as otherwise required by law, the Trustee shall vote shares of FMC Stock reflecting a Participant’s hypothetical, proportional interest in the FMC Stock Fund for which it has received no direction from the Participant, as well as shares that are unallocated, in the same manner and in the same proportion as the total numbers of shares of FMC Stock credited to the Participants’ accounts for which it has received direction from Participants.

The Trustee shall tender or not tender shares of FMC Stock as directed by the Participant. After the Spin-Off Date, except as otherwise required by law, the Trustee shall not tender shares of FMC Stock reflecting a Participant’s hypothetical, proportional interest in the FMC Stock Fund for which it has received no direction from the Participant.

(3) Effective as of the Spin-Off Date, except as otherwise required by law, the Trustee shall tender that number of shares of FMC Stock not credited to Participants’ accounts in the same proportion as the total number of shares of FMC Stock credited to Participants’ accounts for which it has received instructions from Participants.

(4) Both prior to and effective as of the Spin-Off Date, a direction by a Participant to the Trustee to tender shares of Sponsor Stock reflecting the Participant’s hypothetical, proportional interest in the FMC Stock Fund shall not be considered a written election under the Plan by the Participant to withdraw, or have distributed, any or all of his withdrawable shares. The Trustee shall credit to each hypothetical, proportional interest of the Participant from which the tendered shares were taken the proceeds received by the Trustee in exchange for the shares of FMC Stock tendered from that interest. Pending receipt of directions (through the Administrator) from the Participant or the Sponsor, as provided in the Plan, as to which of the remaining investment options the proceeds should be invested in, the Trustee shall invest the proceeds in the Fidelity Retirement Government Money Market Portfolio.

(5) Effective as of the Spin-Off Date, a Participant who has directed the Trustee to tender some or all of the shares of FMC Stock reflecting the Participant’s proportional interest in the FMC Stock Fund may, at any time prior to the tender offer withdrawal date, direct the Trustee to withdraw some or all of the tendered shares reflecting the Participant’s proportional interest, and the Trustee shall withdraw the directed number of shares from the tender offer prior to the tender offer withdrawal deadline. Prior to the withdrawal deadline, if any shares of FMC Stock not credited to Participants’ accounts have been tendered, the Trustee shall redetermine the number of shares of FMC Stock that would be tendered under Section 5(e)(i)(F)(II) if the date of the foregoing withdrawal were the

 

14


date of determination, and withdraw from the tender offer the number of shares of FMC Stock not credited to Participants’ accounts necessary to reduce the amount of tendered FMC Stock not credited to Participants’ accounts to the amount so redetermined. A Participant shall not be limited as to the number of directions to tender or withdraw that the Participant may give to the Trustee.

(G) General. With respect to all shareholder rights other than the right to vote, the right to tender, and the right to withdraw shares previously tendered, in the case of FMC Stock, the Trustee shall follow the procedures set forth in section 5(e)(i)(F)(I), above.

Such units shall represent a hypothetical, proportionate interest in all of the assets of the FMC Technologies Stock Fund, which includes shares of FMC Technologies Stock, short-term investments and at times, receivables and payables (such as receivables and payables arising out of unsettled stock trades). The Trustee shall determine a daily NAV for each unit outstanding of the FMC Technologies Stock Fund. Valuation of the FMC Technologies Stock Fund shall be based upon: (1) the

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

25


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

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

(iv) Trustee shall resume disbursement for the payment of benefits to Participants or their beneficiaries in accordance with Section 4 of this Trust Agreement only after Trustee has determined that Sponsor is not Insolvent (or is no longer Insolvent).

(c) Provided that there are sufficient assets, if 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 or their beneficiaries under the terms of the Plan for the period of such discontinuance, less the aggregate amount of any payments made to Participants or their beneficiaries by Sponsor in lieu of the payments provided for hereunder during any such period of discontinuance.

(d) Any Sponsor Stock contributed to the Trust by the Sponsor to meet any obligation of an Affiliate or the Sponsor to Plan participants who are employed by an Affiliate will be subject to the terms of this Section 14 as if the term “Affiliate” is substituted for the term “Sponsor” wherever it appears in Section 14(a) through (c).

Section 15. Change in Control. For purposes of this Trust, Change in Control shall mean the happening of any of the following events:

(a) An acquisition by any individual, entity or group (within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) or 14(d)(2) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Exchange Act”)) (a “Person”) of beneficial ownership

FIIOC will provide, via facsimile, to the Fund Vendor a consolidated report of net purchase or net redemption activity that occurred in each of the Funds up to 4:00 p.m. ET on the prior Business Day. The report will reflect the dollar amount of assets and shares to be invested or withdrawn for each Fund. FIIOC will transmit this report to the Fund Vendor each Business Day, regardless of processing activity. In the event that data contained in the 7:00 a.m. ET facsimile transmission represents estimated trade activity, FIIOC shall provide a final facsimile to the Fund Vendor by no later than 9:00 a.m. ET. Any resulting adjustments shall be processed by the Fund Vendor at the net asset value for the prior Business Day.

The Fund Vendor shall send via regular mail to FIIOC transaction confirms for all daily activity in each of the Funds. The Fund Vendor shall also send via regular mail to FIIOC, but no later than the fifth Business Day following calendar month close, a monthly statement for each Fund. FIIOC agrees to notify the Fund Vendor of any balance discrepancies within twenty (20) Business Days of receipt of the monthly statement.

For purposes of wire transfers, FIIOC shall transmit a daily wire for aggregate purchase activity and the Fund Vendor shall transmit a daily wire for aggregate redemption activity, in each case including all activity across all Funds occurring on the same day.

Prospectus Delivery

FIIOC shall be responsible for the timely delivery of Fund prospectuses and periodic Fund reports to Plan Participants, and shall retain the services of a third-party vendor to handle such mailings.

The Fund Vendor shall provide internally prepared fund descriptive information approved by the Funds’ legal counsel for use by FIIOC in its written Participant communication materials. FIIOC shall utilize historical performance data obtained from third-party vendors (currently Morningstar, Inc., FACTSET Research Systems and Lipper Analytical Services) in telephone conversations with Plan Participants and in quarterly Participant statements. The Sponsor hereby consents to FIIOC’s use of such materials and acknowledges that FIIOC is not responsible for the accuracy of third-party information. FIIOC shall seek the approval of the Fund Vendor prior to retaining any other third-party vendor to render such data or materials under this Agreement.

Compensation

FIIOC shall be entitled to fees as set forth in a separate agreement with the Fund Vendor.

Indemnification

The Fund Vendor shall be responsible for compensating Participants and/or FIIOC in the event that losses occur as a result of (1) the Fund Vendor’s failure to provide FIIOC with Price Information or (2) providing FIIOC with incorrect Price Information.
