Trustee Responsibility Regarding Payments to Trust Beneficiary When Company Is Insolvent (a) Trustee shall cease payment of benefits to Executive and his beneficiaries if the Company is Insolvent. Company shall be considered Insolvent for purposes of this Trust Agreement if (i) Company is unable to pay its debts as they become due, or (ii) Company is subject to a pending proceeding as a debtor under the United States Bankruptcy Code. (b) At all times during the continuance of this Trust, as provided in Section l(d) hereof, the principal and income of the Trust shall be subject to claims of general creditors of Company under federal and state law as set forth below: (1) The Board of Directors of Company shall have the duty to inform Trustee in writing of Companys Insolvency. If a person claiming to be a creditor of Company alleges in writing to Trustee that Company has become Insolvent, Trustee shall determine whether Company is Insolvent and, pending such determination, Trustee shall discontinue payment of benefits to Executive or his beneficiaries. (2) Unless Trustee has actual knowledge of Companys Insolvency, or has received notice from Company or a person claiming to be a creditor alleging that Company is Insolvent, Trustee shall have no duty to inquire whether Company is Insolvent. Trustee may in all events rely on such evidence concerning Companys solvency as may be furnished to Trustee and that provides Trustee with a reasonable basis for making a determination concerning Companys solvency. (3) If at any time Trustee has determined that Company is Insolvent, Trustee shall discontinue payments to Executive or his beneficiaries and shall hold the assets of the Trust for the benefit of Companys general creditors. Nothing in this Trust Agreement shall in any way diminish any rights of Executive or his beneficiaries to pursue their rights as general creditors of Company with respect to benefits due under the Agreement or otherwise. (4) Trustee shall resume the payment of benefits to Executive or his beneficiaries in accordance with Section 2 of this Trust Agreement only after Trustee has determined that Company is not Insolvent (or is no longer Insolvent). |
