with respect to each Trust   Agreement   and   Ancillary   Agreement   and all of the

<PAGE>

only those liabilities and obligations which relate to the Business as set forth

below (the "Assumed Liabilities"). The Assumed Liabilities shall not include any

Retained   Liabilities   but shall consist only of the following   liabilities   and

Business with respect to all of the assets   transferred to the Buyer   hereunder,

including   without   limitation all liabilities   and obligations   under the Trust

Agreements   and the   Ancillary   Agreements   that are due to be   performed in the

which shall include, without limitation, the following:

 

     (a) all   liabilities   and   obligations   of the Seller   relating   to (i) the

period prior to and   including   the Closing Date or (ii)   incurred in connection

with respect to all other   Employees,   all   liabilities   and   obligations of the

Seller relating to such other Employees.

 

     2.4 Method of Transfer.   The parties   intend that the Seller shall,   to the

extent not   prohibited by Applicable   Law,   transfer and assign to the Buyer the

Trust Agreements and Ancillary Agreements on the Closing Date in accordance with

the following procedures:

 

     (a) Where the Buyer determines that a particular Trust Agreement, Ancillary

Agreement and Applicable Law does not require the affirmative written consent of

the   Customer   to the   transfer or   assignment   of the Trust   Agreement   and any

related Ancillary Agreements,   or the Buyer determines that such written consent

is not appropriate,   the Seller shall (i) assign to the Buyer all rights, duties

and   responsibilities   of the Seller relating to the Trust Agreement and related

Ancillary   Agreements   and the   Buyer   will be   deemed   the   successor   trustee,

custodian, paying agent, investment manager and/or record-keeper, as applicable,

under such Trust Agreement,   effective as of the Closing Date, and (ii) promptly

deliver to the   Customer a notice of the   foregoing,   which   will,   among   other

things,   notify the Customer that the Trust   Agreement and Ancillary   Agreements

will be assigned and   transferred   by the Seller to the Buyer on or after a date

following the mailing of such notice.

 

     (b) Where the Buyer determines that a particular Trust Agreement, Ancillary

Agreement or   Applicable   Law requires the   affirmative   written   consent of the

Customer to the transfer or assignment   of such Trust   Agreement and any related

Ancillary   Agreements,   or the Buyer   determines   that such   written   consent is

appropriate,   (i) the Buyer and the Seller shall request the Customer's   written

consent to the transfer or   assignment   of the related   Trust   Agreement and any

related   Ancillary   Agreements,   (ii) the Buyer and the   Seller   shall   promptly

 

<PAGE>

 

notify   the   Customer   that   the   Trust   Agreement   and   any   related   Ancillary

Agreements   will,   if   the   Customer   consents   in   writing,    be   assigned   and

transferred   by the Seller to the Buyer on or after a date following the mailing

of such notice,   and (iii) the Seller   shall   resign as the trustee,   custodian,

paying agent, investment manager and/or record-keeper, as applicable, under such

Trust   Agreements and Ancillary   Agreements if the Customer has not consented to

the transfer and   assignment of such Trust   Agreement and any related   Ancillary

Agreements.   If the Customer   objects in writing to the appointment of the Buyer

as   successor   trustee,   custodian,   paying   agent,   investment   manager   and/or

record-keeper   on or before the Closing   Date,   and is entitled to, and does, in

fact, name a successor   trustee,   custodian,   paying agent,   investment   manager

and/or   record-keeper   other than   Buyer,   then such Trust   Agreements   shall be

deemed to be Excluded   Trust   Agreements and Excluded   Ancillary   Agreements and

shall not be transferred and assigned by the Seller to the Buyer hereunder.

 

                                    ARTICLE 3

                                     PAYMENT

 

     3.1 Purchase   Price. In   consideration   for the transfer of the Business to

the Buyer,   Buyer   agrees to assume the   Assumed   Liabilities   and to pay to the

Seller   an   amount   equal to the   product   of the   assets   under   management   in

connection   with the Business (the "Assets Under   Management") as of the Closing

Date times .0155 (the "Purchase   Price").   By way of example,   the Buyer and the

Seller agree that if September   30, 2005 had been the Closing   Date,   the Assets

Under   Management   would have been equal to Nine Hundred Eighty Million   Dollars

($980,000,000) and the Purchase Price would therefore have been Fifteen Million,

One Hundred Ninety Thousand Dollars   ($15,190,000).   The Purchase Price shall be

paid in the manner set forth in Section 3.2.

 

     3.2   Payment of   Purchase   Price.   On the Closing   Date,   the Seller   shall

deliver   to the Buyer a   certificate   executed   by Seller   certifying   as to the

Assets Under Management as of the Closing Date. The Purchase Price shall be paid

by wire transfer of immediately   available federal funds to an account which the

Seller shall   designate   in writing at least two (2) Business   Days prior to the

Closing.

 

     3.3 Revenue Incentive Amounts and Sustained Growth Incentive Amount. (a) In

addition to the   Purchase   Price,   the Buyer shall pay to the Seller the Revenue

 

<PAGE>

 

Incentive   Amounts and the Sustained   Growth   Incentive   Amount (each as defined

below), if any, as set forth in Section 3.3(b)-(e),   which shall be based on the

annual gross revenues, determined in a manner consistent with Buyer's accounting

practices,   earned or received by the Buyer with respect to the Trust Agreements

acquired   hereunder   or   generated   by   the   Business   after   the   Closing   Date

(including all gross revenues of the Buyer and its   Affiliates   associated   with

the Business   from all   services   and products of the Buyer and its   Affiliates)

(the "Gross   Revenues") in each of the Buyer's   fiscal years ended   December 31,

2006,   December   31,   2007 and   December   31,   2008   (each   such date a "Revenue

Incentive   Determination Date"). The Revenue Incentive Amounts and the Sustained

Growth   Incentive   Amount,   if any,   shall be paid in the   manner   set   forth in

Section 3.3(f).

 

     (b) If the quotient of the Gross Revenues for the Buyer's fiscal year ended

December   31, 2006   divided by the Gross   Revenues   for the Buyer's   fiscal year

ended December 31, 2005, as determined in accordance with the Buyer's accounting

practices (the "Base Gross Revenue Amount"),   is greater than 1.15 but less than

or equal to 1.2,   then the Buyer   shall pay to the Seller an amount (the "Year 1

Revenue   Incentive   Amount") equal to Two Hundred Thousand   Dollars   ($200,000);

provided,   however,   that if such   quotient is greater than 1.2, then the Year 1

Revenue Incentive Amount shall equal Three Hundred Thousand Dollars ($300,000).

 

     (c) If the quotient of (i) the Gross   Revenues for the Buyer's   fiscal year

ended   December 31, 2007   divided by (ii) the product of the Base Gross   Revenue

Amount times 1.15 is greater   than 1.15 but less than or equal to 1.2,   then the

Buyer shall pay to the Seller an amount (the "Year 2 Revenue Incentive   Amount")

equal to Two Hundred Thousand Dollars   ($200,000);   provided,   however,   that if

such   quotient is greater   than 1.2,   then the Year 2 Revenue   Incentive   Amount

shall equal Three Hundred Thousand Dollars ($300,000).

 

     (d) If the quotient of (i) the Gross   Revenues for the Buyer's   fiscal year

ended   December 31, 2008   divided by (ii) the product of the Base Gross   Revenue

Amount   times 1.3 is greater   than 1.15 but less than or equal to 1.2,   then the

Buyer shall pay to the Seller an amount (the "Year 3 Revenue Incentive   Amount")

equal to Two Hundred Thousand Dollars ($200,000) and, collectively with the Year

1 Revenue Incentive Amount and the Year 2 Revenue Incentive Amount, the "Revenue

Incentive Amounts"); provided, however, that if such quotient is

 

<PAGE>

 

     greater   than 1.2,   then the Year 3 Revenue   Incentive   Amount   shall equal

Three Hundred Thousand Dollars ($300,000).

 

     (e) If, at the end of the Buyer's   three   fiscal   years ended   December 31,

2008,   the   Seller   has been   entitled   to each of the Year 1 Revenue   Incentive

Amount,   the Year 2 Revenue   Incentive   Amount and the Year 3 Revenue   Incentive

Amounts,   then the Buyer shall pay to the seller an   additional   amount equal to

Six Hundred Thousand Dollars $600,000 (the "Sustained Growth Incentive Amount");

provided,   however, that if at such time the Seller has not been entitled to any

one of the Revenue Incentive   Amounts,   but the aggregate Gross Revenues for the

Buyer's three fiscal years ended   December 31, 2008 are equal to or greater than

the product of the Base Gross Revenues times 1.5209, then the Buyer shall pay to

the seller the Sustained Growth Incentive Amount.

 

     (f) Within ninety (90) days following each Revenue Incentive   Determination

Date, the Buyer will deliver to the Seller a   certificate,   signed by an officer

of the Buyer,   certifying as to the Gross Revenues and the   determination of the

Revenue   Incentive   Amount for the   respective   fiscal year and,   following   the

December 31, 2008 Revenue   Incentive   Determination   Date, the Sustained   Growth

Incentive   Amount.   The Buyer   will grant the   Seller   reasonable   access to all

books,   records and other data related to the Business   during regular   business

hours   upon    reasonable    prior   notice   for   the   purpose   of   verifying    the

determination of the Revenue Incentive Amount and, as applicable,   the Sustained

Growth Incentive Amount.   Subject to the resolution of any disputed amount,   the

Revenue   Incentive   Amount and, as applicable,   the Sustained   Growth   Incentive

Amount,   will be paid by the Buyer to the Seller not later than the one   hundred

twentieth (120th) day following the applicable   Revenue Incentive   Determination

Date.   The   Seller   shall,   within   thirty   (30)   days   after   delivery   of   the

certificate,    notify   the   Buyer   in   writing   of   any   disagreement   with   the

calculation   of the Gross   Revenues   (which   notice shall   specify in detail the

nature of such   disagreement),   and upon   agreement by the Buyer   regarding   the

Seller's   requested   adjustment,    an   appropriate   adjustment   to   the   Revenue

Incentive Amount and/or,   as applicable,   the Sustained Growth Incentive Amount,

shall be made thereto. If the Buyer does not agree to any such adjustment within

five (5) days after receipt of Seller's notice,   then the portion of the Revenue

Incentive Amount and/or, as applicable, the Sustained Growth Incentive Amount

 

<PAGE>

 

     (if any) that is not subject to any dispute shall be paid as scheduled, and

the disputed elements shall be submitted to binding resolution by any nationally

recognized independent accounting firm agreed to by the Buyer and the Seller (an

"Independent   Accountant"),which shall be expressly charged with determining any

disputed   Revenue   Incentive   Amount or   Sustained   Growth   Incentive   Amount in

accordance with the terms of this Agreement.   If issues in dispute are submitted

to the Independent Accountant for resolution, (i) each party will furnish to the

Independent Accountant such records and other documents and information relating

to the   disputed   issues   as the   Independent   Accountant   may   request   and are

available to that party,   and will be afforded the opportunity to present to the

Independent Accountant any material relating to the determination and to discuss

the determination with the Independent Accountant; (ii) the determination by the

Independent   Accountant,   in   accordance   herewith   and as set forth in a notice

delivered to both   parties by the   Independent   Accountant,   will be binding and

conclusive on the parties;   and (iii) the costs and expenses of such Independent

Accountant   shall be borne by the   non-prevailing   party   with   respect   to such

dispute. Any remaining Revenue Incentive Amount and/or, as applicable, Sustained

Growth Incentive Amount,   will be paid by the Buyer to the Seller promptly after

the   Independent   Accountant's   determination.   If   the   Independent   Accountant

determines   that   the   Revenue   Incentive   Amount   and/or,   as   applicable,   the

Sustained   Growth   Incentive Amount paid by the Buyer exceeds the actual Revenue

Incentive   Amount and/or,   as applicable,   the Sustained Growth Incentive Amount

determined by the   Independent   Accountant,   the Seller shall promptly pay Buyer

the amount of any such excess.
