TRUST
8.1 Trust. The Company may establish one or more Trusts for the administration and investment of the funds contributed for the benefit of the Member and to satisfy its payment obligations under the Plan. Any assets or property held by a Trust shall be subject to the claims of the Company’s general creditors only upon the insolvency or bankruptcy of the Company, and no person other than the Company shall, by virtue of the provisions of the Plan, have any interest in such funds. To the extent that any person, including the Member, acquires the right to receive payments of Plan Benefits, such right shall be no greater than the right of any unsecured general creditor of the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not establish any trust, reserve or other fund associated with the Plan, if by doing so the Company would cause the Plan to be in violation of Code Section 409A(b) or the regulations issued thereunder.
