under the Executive Agreements, the Severance Plan and the Retention Plan can

WHEREAS, Cleveland-Cliffs and the Trustee entered into a trust
agreement ("Trust Agreement No. 2"), dated October 28, 1987, to provide for the
payment of reasonable attorneys' and related fees and expenses incurred by
certain Executives in the enforcement of their rights under agreements between
such executives and Cleveland-Cliffs in effect at that time;
WHEREAS, Trust Agreement No. 2 was amended by a First Amendment
to Trust Agreement No. 2, dated April 9, 1991; and
WHEREAS, Cleveland-Cliffs desires to amend and restate this Trust
Agreement No. 2 heretofore entered into and has transferred or will transfer
to the trust (the "Trust") established by this Trust Agreement No. 2 assets
which shall be held therein until paid to Indemnitees with respect to Expenses
in such manner and at such times as specified herein.
NOW, THEREFORE, the parties amend and restate the Trust Agreement
No. 2 and agree that the Trust shall be comprised, held and disposed of as
follows:

with the Trustee in trust Ten Dollars ($10.00), which shall become the

existed immediately prior to such merger or consolidation;

persons, corporations or entities, in a single transaction or a series
of related transactions, more than one-half of the assets accounted for
on the Statement of Consolidated Financial Position of Cleveland-Cliffs
as "properties" or "investments in associated companies" (or such
replacements for these accounts as may be adopted from time to time)
unless by an affirmative vote of two-thirds of the members of the Board
of Directors, the transaction or transactions are exempted from the
operation of this provision based on a good faith finding that the
transaction or transactions are not within the intended scope of this
definition for purposes of this instrument;
(iii) a person, within the meaning of Section 3(a)(9) or of
Section 13(d)(3) (as in effect on the date hereof) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, shall become the
5
5
beneficial owner (as defined in Rule 13d-3 of the Securities and
Exchange Commission pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) of
30% or more of the outstanding voting securities of Cleveland-Cliffs
(whether directly or indirectly); or
(iv) during any period of three consecutive years, including,
without limitation, the year 1991, individuals who at the beginning of
any such period constitute the Board of Directors of Cleveland-Cliffs

Cleveland-Cliffs, of each Director first elected during any such period
was approved by a vote of at least one-third of the Directors of
Cleveland-Cliffs who are Directors of Cleveland-Cliffs on the date of
the beginning of any such period.
(c) The principal of the Trust and any earnings thereon shall
be held in trust separate and apart from other funds of Cleveland-Cliffs

time or from time to time make additional deposits of cash or other property in
the Trust to augment the principal to be held, administered and disposed of by
the Trustee as
6
6
herein provided, but no payments of all or any portion of the principal of the
Trust or earnings thereon shall be made to Cleveland-Cliffs or any other person
or entity on behalf of Cleveland-Cliffs except as herein expressly provided.
(e) The term "Company" as used herein shall mean
Cleveland-Cliffs, any wholly owned subsidiary or any partnership or joint
venture in which Cleveland-Cliffs and/or any wholly-owned subsidiary is a
partner or venturer and Empire Iron Mining Partnership, or any entity that is a
successor to Cleveland-Cliffs in ownership of substantially all of its assets.
(f) This Trust Agreement No. 2 shall be construed as a part of
the Executive Agreements, the Severance Plan and the Retention Plan.
(g) This Trust is intended to be a grantor trust, within the
meaning of Section 671 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the
"Code"), or any successor provision thereto, and shall be construed
accordingly. The Trust is not designed to qualify under Section 401(a) of the
Code or to be subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income
Security Act of 1974, as amended ("ERISA").
2. PAYMENTS TO INDEMNITEES. (a) The Trustee shall
promptly pay Expenses to the Indemnitees from the assets of the Trust in
accordance with Section 13 of the Executive Agreements, Section 12 of the
Severance Plan, Article IX of the Retention Plan and this Section 2, provided
that (i) this Trust Agreement No. 2 has not been terminated pursuant to Section
12
7
7
hereof; (ii) the Trust has become irrevocable; (iii) with respect to the first
demand for payment of Expenses hereunder received by the Trustee, the Trustee
shall immediately give appropriate notice thereof to all Indemnitees, and shall
make no payment of Expenses until the 21st day after such notice has been
given; and (iv) the requirements of Section 2(c) and 2(d) hereof have been
satisfied. The Trustee shall promptly inform the Company as to amounts paid to
any Indemnitee pursuant to this Section.
(b) It is the intention of Cleveland-Cliffs that during the
21-day period prescribed by Section 2(a)(iii) hereof, the Indemnitees will make
reasonable efforts to consult with each other and to take into account the
interests of all Indemnitees in deciding on how best to proceed to enforce the
provisions of the Executive Agreements, the Severance Plan, and/or the
Retention Plan such that the assets of the Trust are utilized most effectively;
provided, however, that this Section 2(b) is to be construed as precatory in
nature, and in the absence of any other agreement or arrangement, this Trust
Agreement No. 2 (without regard to this Section 2(b)) shall apply to the
payment of Expenses.
(c) A demand for payment by an Indemnitee hereunder must be
made within two months of the date on which the Indemnitee receives a xxxx,
invoice or other statement setting forth the Expenses that have been incurred.
In order to demand payment hereunder, the Indemnitee must deliver to the
Trustee (i) a certificate signed by or on behalf of such Indemnitee,
8
8
certifying to the Trustee that the Company is in default in paying the
Indemnitee a specified amount which the Indemnitee states to be owed under an
Executive Agreement, the Severance Plan or the Retention Plan, and (ii) a
notice in writing and in reasonable detail of the Expenses that are to be paid
hereunder.
(d) To the extent payments hereunder may be made only from
funds held in the form of a deposit or obligation, such payments may be
postponed until such deposit or obligation shall have matured. Payments shall
be made to the Indemnitee in the full amount noticed until the Trust is
depleted; provided that if on the date such amount is to be paid from the Trust
other amounts have been claimed but not yet paid to the same or other
Indemnitees and the aggregate amount so claimed exceeds the amount available in
the Trust, the Trustee shall only pay that portion of the amount then payable
to each such Indemnitee determined by multiplying such amount by a fraction,
the numerator of which is the amount then in the Trust and the denominator of
which is the aggregate amount noticed by the Indemnitees to be owed but not yet
paid to that date.
3. RIGHTS OF INDEMNITEES. (a) Nothing in this Trust
Agreement No. 2 shall in any way diminish any rights of any Indemnitee to
pursue his rights as a general creditor of the Company with respect to Expenses
or otherwise, and (b) the rights of the Indemnitees under the Executive
Agreements, Severance Plan or Retention Plan shall in no way be affected or
diminished by any provision of this Trust Agreement No. 2 or action taken
pursuant to this Trust Agreement No. 2, it being
9
9
the intent of Cleveland-Cliffs that rights of the Indemnitees be security for
obligations of the Company under the Executive Agreements, Severance Plan or
Retention Plan, except that any payment actually received by any Indemnitee
hereunder shall reduce dollar-per-dollar amounts otherwise due to such
Indemnitee pursuant to Section 13 of the Executive Agreements, Section 12 of
the Severance Plan, or Article IX of the Retention Plan, as applicable.
4. PAYMENTS TO CLEVELAND-CLIFFS. Except to the extent
expressly contemplated by Section 1(b), Cleveland-Cliffs shall have no right or
power to direct the Trustee to return any of the Trust assets to

Indemnitees as herein provided.

(b) direct obligations of the United States of America, or obligations the
payment of which is guaranteed, as to both principal and interest, by the

and correct copies of any amendment, restatement or successor to any Executive
Agreement, the Severance Plan and the Retention Plan, whereupon such amendment,
restatement or successor shall be incorporated herein by reference, provided

14
or successor shall not affect the Trustee's duties and responsibilities
hereunder without the consent of the Trustee.

requested by the Trustee for purposes of determining payments to the
Indemnitees as provided in Section 2. Upon the failure of Cleveland-Cliffs or

the Trustee shall, to the extent necessary in the sole judgment of the Trustee,
(i) compute the amount payable hereunder to any Indemnitee; and (ii) notify
Cleveland-Cliffs and the Indemnitee in writing of its computations. Thereafter
this Trust Agreement No. 2 shall be construed as to the Trustee's duties and
obligation hereunder in accordance with such Trustee determinations without
further action; provided, however, that no such determinations shall in any way
diminish the rights of the Indemnitees hereunder or under the Executive
Agreements, Severance Plan or Retention Plan, and provided, further, that no
such determination shall be deemed to modify this Trust Agreement No. 2 or any
Executive Agreement, the Severance Plan, or the Retention Plan.

respect to the administration of the Trust including fees and expenses incurred
pursuant to Sections 8(c) and 8(e) hereof. Such compensation and expenses
shall in all events be payable either directly by Cleveland-Cliffs or, in the
event that Cleveland-Cliffs shall refuse, from the assets of the Trust. The
Trust shall have a claim against Cleveland-Cliffs for any such compensation or
expenses so paid.

successor trustee shall be appointed by Cleveland-Cliffs. On or after such
date, such appointment shall also require the agreement of a majority of the
Indemnitees. No such removal or resignation

of an agreement as to a replacement trustee, the Trustee shall appoint a
successor trustee, which shall be a bank or trust company, wherever located,
having a capital and surplus of at least $500,000,000 in the aggregate.

subject to control of either Cleveland-Cliffs or the Indemnitees. Upon the
acceptance of the trust by a successor trustee, the Trustee shall release all
of the monies and other property in the Trust to its successor, who shall
thereafter for all purposes of this Trust Agreement No. 2 be considered to be
the "Trustee."

incompetent, such Indemnitee's personal representative (including his or her
guardian, executor or administrator) shall participate in such Indemnitee's
stead.
12. AMENDMENT OR TERMINATION. (a) This Trust Agreement
No. 2 may be amended at any time and to any extent by a written instrument

Change of Control has occurred, a majority of the Indemnitees, except to make
the Trust revocable after it has become irrevocable in accordance
17
17
with Section 1(b) hereof, or to alter Section 12(b) hereof, except that
amendments contemplated by Section 9 hereof shall be made as therein provided.

assets; (iv) such time as the Trustee shall have received consents from all
Indemnitees to the termination of this Trust Agreement No. 2; or (v) there is
no longer any living Indemnitee under this Trust Agreement No. 2 and there is
no pending demand by the estate of any Indemnitee against the Trust.
(c) Upon termination of the Trust as provided in Section 12(b)

unless a determination is made by legal counsel experienced in such matters
that the assets of the Trust may not be returned to Cleveland-Cliffs without
violating Section 403(d)(2) of ERISA, or any successor provision thereto. If
such a determination is made, any assets remaining in the Trust, after
satisfaction of liabilities hereunder, pursuant to the written direction of
Cleveland-Cliffs, shall be (i) distributed to any welfare benefit plan (within
the meaning of ERISA) maintained by Cleveland-Cliffs at the time of
distribution so established at
18
18
such time in order to receive such assets from this Trust, or (ii) otherwise
applied to provide benefits which may be provided by a welfare benefit plan
(within the meaning of ERISA), directly or through the purchase of insurance.
13. SEVERABILITY, ALIENATION, ETC. (a) Any provision
of this Trust Agreement No. 2 prohibited by law shall be ineffective to the
extent of any such prohibition without invalidating the remaining provisions
hereof.
(b) To the extent permitted by law, benefits to Indemnitees
under this Trust Agreement No. 2 may not be anticipated (except as herein
expressly provided), assigned (either at law or in equity), alienated or
subject to attachment, garnishment, levy, execution or other legal or equitable
process. No benefit actually paid to any Indemnitee by the Trustee shall be
subject to any claim for repayment by the Company or Trustee, except in the
event of (i) a false claim, or (ii) a payment is made to an incorrect
Indemnitee.

construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Ohio, without giving
effect to the principles of conflict of laws thereof.

counterparts, each of which shall be considered an original agreement. This
Trust Agreement No. 2 shall become effective immediately upon the execution by
Cleveland-Cliffs of at least one counterpart, it being understood that all
parties need not sign the same counterpart, but shall not bind any
19
19
Trustee until such Trustee has executed at least one counterpart.
