ARTICLE IV INVESTMENT FUNDS AND INVESTMENT ACCOUNTS IV-1. INVESTMENT FUNDS. The Company hereby authorizes at its direction the establishment of separate alternatives for the investment of Plan assets under the Plan ("Investment Funds"). To implement the same, the Company shall so direct the Trustee to constitute the Trust Fund in such Investment Funds to be offered under the Plan. The Company shall establish corresponding written guidelines and objectives for each Investment Fund under the Plan, which it shall communicate to the Trustee. Except as otherwise directed by an Investment Manager appointed by the Company, the Trustee shall invest contributions and account balances among the Investment Funds in the proportions specified by the Company or as directed by Participants under Section IV-2 and in accordance with the provisions of the Plan. The Trustee shall have no duty to verify such directions and shall have no responsibility or liability for any loss to any Participant or beneficiary which results from following such directions. IV-2. TRUSTEE'S INVESTMENT OF AMOUNTS CREDITED TO INDIVIDUALLY DIRECTED INVESTMENT ACCOUNTS. If the Company has provided for Participants to individually direct the investment of contributions and/or account balances ("Investment Accounts") in one or more of the Investment Funds 8 described in paragraph IV-1, the Trustee shall, upon receipt of Participant directions made in accordance with the Plan documents, invest and reinvest amounts credited to such Participant's Investment Account as follows: (a) Except as otherwise provided below, the Trustee shall make investments in such Investment Funds including applicable contributions, withdrawals, transfers or liquidations only as the Company, as a "Named Fiduciary", as described in ERISA, or an Investment Manager directs in writing and the Trustee shall be under no obligation to inquire as to the propriety of such direction or as to the amount to be invested in each such Investment Account on behalf of such Participant. (b) In the event that the Trustee shall be directed by a Participant, the Trustee shall have no liability with respect to the investment of such assets, but shall be responsible only to execute such investment instructions as so directed. (c) The Trustee shall be entitled to rely fully on the instructions of a Participant made by voice recognition or other electronic means of transmission as if the same were provided in writing by the Company, and shall not be liable for any loss or other liability, resulting from such direction (or lack of direction) of the investment of any part of the Plan assets. (d) The Trustee may delegate the duty to execute such Participant instructions to any fiduciary or nonfiduciary agent. (e) The Trustee may refuse to comply with any direction from a Participant in the event the Trustee, in its sole and absolute discretion, deems such directions improper by virtue of applicable law. The Trustee shall not be responsible or liable for any loss or expense which may result from the Trustee's refusal or failure to comply with any directions from the Participant. A Participant shall not direct the Trustee to enter into any prohibited transaction (as defined in Code Section 4975). (f) Any costs and expenses related to compliance with the Participant's directions may be borne by the Participant's Investment Accounts, to the extent permitted by the Plan. (g) The Trustee shall have the power to invest any portion of the assets in a Participant's Investment Account which is held in cash or cash equivalents in short term, fixed income investment pending receipt of instructions from the Company regarding the investment of a Participant's accounts. While an Investment Fund transfer is pending, a Participant will not share in any gains or losses in the fund to which such amount is transferred until the trade into such fund is settled by the Trustee. (h) The Company shall indemnify and hold the Trustee harmless for any losses suffered as a result of investments and reinvestments made by the Trustee in reliance upon any investment direction given by such Participant under the 9 Plan. (i) Notwithstanding paragraph III-6, all expenses incurred in connection with the sale, investment and reinvestment of assets in an Investment Fund (such as brokerage, postage, express and insurance charges and transfer taxes) may be charged by the Trustee to the appropriate Investment Fund, to the extent not paid by the Company or the Plan. (j) The Trustee makes no warranty that the Plan complies with ERISA Section 404(c). Should the Company intend to comply with the mitigation of liability provisions of ERISA 404(c), the Company, as Plan Administrator, shall be responsible for developing and implementing such procedures, providing such information, and observing such other conditions as may be necessary or appropriate to comply therewith. (k) Except to the extent otherwise required by law, the Trustee shall not be liable or responsible for any loss resulting to an Investment Fund or Investment Account by reason of any investment or reinvestment made by the Trustee at the direction of the Participant or the Company, and the Trustee is relieved of any duty to review from time to time such amounts or property held in any Investment Fund or Investment Account. ARTICLE V GENERAL PROVISIONS V-1. ACTION BY COMPANY.

A final judgment entered in any such proceedings shall be conclusive. V-5. EVIDENCE. Evidence required of anyone under this agreement may be by certificate, affidavit, document or other information which the person acting on it considers pertinent and reliable, and signed, made or presented by the proper party or parties. V-6. THIRD PARTIES. Except as otherwise provided by law, the Trustee's exercise or non-exercise of its powers and discretions in good faith shall be conclusive on all persons. No one shall be obliged to see to the application of any money paid or property delivered to the Trustee, except to the extent such person is acting as an Investment Manager as respects such money or property. The certificate of the Trustee that it is acting according to this agreement will fully protect all persons dealing with the Trustee. An insurance company may assume that this agreement and the Plan have not been amended or changed unless notice of such amendment or change is received by the insurance company at its home office.

The Company shall have no right, title or interest in the Trust Fund, nor shall any part of the Trust Fund revert or be repaid to the Company, directly or indirectly, unless: (a) the Internal Revenue Service initially determines that the Plan, as applied to the Company or any Participating Employer, does not meet the requirements of Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code, in which event the contributions made to the Plan by the Company shall be returned to it; (b) a contribution is made by the Company or any Participating Employer by mistake of fact and such contribution is returned to the employer within one year after payment to the Trustee; or (c) a contribution conditioned on the deductibility thereof is disallowed as an expense for federal income tax purposes and such contribution (to the extent disallowed) is returned to the Company or any Participating Employer within one year after the disallowance of the deduction. The amount of any contribution that may be returned pursuant to subparagraph (b) or (c) above must be reduced by any portion thereof previously distributed from the Trust Fund and by any losses of the Trust 11 Fund allocable thereto, and in no event may the return of such contribution cause any Participant's account balances to be less than the amount of such balances had the contribution not been made under the Plan. V-8. INTERESTS NOT TRANSFERABLE. The interests of persons entitled to benefits under the Plan are not subject to their debts or other obligations and, except as may be required by the tax withholding provisions of the Internal Revenue Code or any state's income tax act or pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order as defined in Section 414(p) of the Internal Revenue Code, may not be voluntarily or involuntarily sold, transferred, alienated, assigned or encumbered.
