Common use of Creation of the Trust Clause in Contracts

Creation of the Trust. There is hereby established and continued with the Trustee a trust consisting of all sums paid to it for purposes of the Participating Plans, investments thereof and any earnings, appreciations or losses thereon, which, less disbursements made by Trustee, and amounts paid to the Company as provided in Section 2 of this Trust Agreement, are referred to herein as the "Trust" and shall be dealt with as provided in this Trust Agreement. The Trust shall be held for the exclusive purpose of providing payments to Trust Beneficiaries in accordance with the provisions of the Participating Plans, and defraying reasonable expenses of administration in accordance with the provisions of this Trust Agreement until all such payments required by this Trust Agreement have been made, subject to the provisions on the use of Funds under Section 2 of this Trust Agreement, and to the requirement that the Trust shall at all times be subject to the claims of the general creditors of the Company as set forth in Sections 21.1 and 21.2 of this Trust Agreement. The Trustee shall have no duty or authority to inquire into the correctness of amounts tendered to it or to enforce the collection of any contribution by the Company. The Company shall direct the Trustee to establish a separate subtrust ("Subtrust") for each Plan to which the Trustee shall credit contributions it receives which are earmarked for that Plan and Subtrust. Each Subtrust shall reflect an undivided interest in assets of the trust fund and shall not require any segregation of particular assets. When Subtrusts are established, all contributions shall be designated by the Company for a particular Subtrust. However, any contribution received by the Trustee which is not designated by the Company for a particular Subtrust before a Change in Control shall be allocated among the Subtrusts in proportion to each Participating Plan's pro rata interest in the Trust, as calculated during the last Valuation. When a Subtrust is established at a date subsequent to execution of this Agreement, the Trustee shall allocate the Trust assets among the separate Subtrusts as directed by the Company prior to a Change in Control. The Company may direct the Trustee, or the Independent Plan Administrator may determine on its own initiative after a Change in Control, to maintain a separate sub-account within each Subtrust for a Plan for each Participant who is covered by the Subtrust. If so directed, each sub-account in a Subtrust shall reflect an individual interest in assets of the Subtrust and, as much as possible, shall operate in the same manner as if it were a separate Subtrust. The Trustee shall allocate investment earnings and losses and expenses of the trust fund as of a valuation date among the Subtrusts in proportion to their balances. Payments to creditors as directed by a court of competent jurisdiction in the event of the Company's insolvency shall be charged against the Subtrusts in proportion to their balances, except that payment of Plan benefits to a Participant as a general creditor shall be charged against the Subtrust for that Plan. Assets allocated to a Subtrust for one Plan may not be used to provide benefits under any other Plans until all benefits under such Plan have been paid in full, except that excess assets of a Subtrust may be transferred to other Subtrusts.
