The Plan is an unfunded deferred compensation arrangement. Neither the Company nor any Participating Employer shall be required to establish a trust or to in any way segregate assets for purposes of funding or otherwise providing benefits under the Plan. The Company or one of the Participating Employers may, however, in their sole discretion, establish and maintain an unfunded grantor trust with one or more persons selected by the Committee to act as Trustee. If a Trustee is so appointed, such Trustee shall hold, manage, administer and invest the assets of the Trust, reinvest any income, and make distributions in accordance with the directions of the Committee and the provisions of the Plan and Trust. The trust agreement shall be in such form and contain such provisions as the Committee deems necessary and appropriate to effectuate the purposes of the Plan. The terms and provisions of the trust agreement shall control in case of a conflict between the terms and provisions of such agreement and the terms and provisions of the Plan.
