TRUST UNDER WEATHERFORD INTERNATIONAL LTD. NONQUALIFIED EXECUTIVE RETIREMENT PLAN
THIS AGREEMENT is made this 23rd day of March, 2004, by and between Weatherford International Ltd. ("Company") and Wachovia Bank, National Association, as Trustee for Trust under Weatherford International Ltd. Nonqualified Executive Retirement Plan ("Trustee");
WHEREAS, the Company has adopted the Weatherford International Ltd. Nonqualified Executive Retirement Plan ("Plan"); and
WHEREAS, the Company has incurred or expects to incur liability under the terms of the Plan; and
WHEREAS, the Company wishes to establish a trust (hereinafter called "Trust") and to contribute to the Trust assets that shall be held therein, subject to the claims of Company's creditors in the event of Company's Insolvency, as herein defined, until paid to Plan participants and their beneficiaries in such manner and at such times as specified in the Plan; and
WHEREAS, it is the intention of the parties that this Trust shall constitute an unfunded arrangement and shall not affect the status of the Plan as an unfunded plan maintained for the purpose of providing deferred compensation for a select group of management or highly compensated employees for purposes of Title I of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974; and
WHEREAS, it is the intention of the Company to make contributions to the Trust to provide itself with a source of funds to assist it in the meeting of its liabilities under the Plan:
NOW, THEREFORE, the parties do hereby establish the Trust and agree that the Trust shall be comprised, held and disposed of as follows:
1. Establishment of Trust .
(a) The Company hereby deposits with Trustee in trust one dollar ($1.00), which shall become the principal of the Trust to be held, administered and disposed of by Trustee as provided in this Trust Agreement.
(b) The Trust hereby established is revocable by the Company except that the Trust shall become irrevocable in accordance with Section 12.
(c) The Trust is intended to be a grantor trust, of which the Company is the grantor, within the meaning of subpart E, part I, subchapter J, chapter 1, subtitle A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and shall be construed accordingly.
{PAGE} (d) The principal of the Trust, and any earnings thereon, shall be held separate and apart from other funds of the Company and shall be used exclusively for the uses and purposes of Plan participants and general creditors as herein set forth. Plan participants and their beneficiaries shall have no preferred claim on, or any beneficial ownership interest in, any assets of the Trust. Any rights created under the Plan and this Trust Agreement shall be mere unsecured contractual rights of Plan participants and their beneficiaries against the Company. Any assets held by the Trust will be subject to the claims of the Company's general creditors under federal and state law in the event of Insolvency, as defined in Section 3(a) herein.
(e) Upon a Change of Control, the Company shall, as soon as possible, but in no event longer than fifteen (15) days following the Change of Control or such shorter period as required to make payments under the terms of the Plan, make an irrevocable contribution to the Trust in an amount that is sufficient to pay each Plan participant or beneficiary the benefits to which Plan participants or their beneficiaries would be entitled pursuant to the terms of the Plan, plus anticipated administrative and Trustee's fees and expenses, as of the date on which the Change of Control occurred. Thereafter, as of the last day of each subsequent calendar year, the Company shall, as soon as possible, but in no event longer than fifteen (15) days following such date, make an irrevocable contribution to the Trust in an amount that is sufficient to pay each Plan participant or beneficiary the benefits to which Plan participants or their beneficiaries would be entitled pursuant to the terms of the Plan, plus anticipated administrative and Trustee's fees and expenses, as of such date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, contributions under this Section 1(e) shall be required only to the extent, if any, that the assets of the Trust are insufficient to pay all benefits due under the Plan, plus anticipated fees and expenses, as of the applicable date.
2. Payments to Plan Participants and Their Beneficiaries.
(a) The Company shall deliver to Trustee a schedule (the "Payment Schedule") that indicates the amounts payable in respect of each Plan participant (and his or her beneficiaries), that provides a formula or other instructions reasonably acceptable to Trustee for determining the amounts so payable, the form in which such amount is to be paid (as provided for or available under the Plan), and the time of commencement for payment of such amounts. Except as otherwise provided herein, Trustee shall make payments to the Plan participants and their beneficiaries in accordance with such Payment Schedule. The Trustee shall make provision for the reporting and withholding of any federal, state or local taxes that may be required to be withheld with respect to the payment of benefits pursuant to the terms of the Plan and shall pay amounts withheld to the appropriate taxing authorities or determine that such amounts have been reported, withheld and paid by the Company.
(b) The entitlement of a Plan participant or his or her beneficiaries to benefits under the Plan shall be determined by the Company or such party as it shall designate under the Plan, and any claim for such benefits shall be considered and reviewed under the procedures set out in the Plan.
(c) The Company may make payment of benefits directly to Plan participants or their beneficiaries as they become due under the terms of the Plan. The Company shall notify Trustee of its decision to make payment of benefits directly prior to the time amounts are payable
-2- {PAGE} to participants or their beneficiaries. In addition, if the principal of the Trust, and any earnings thereon, are not sufficient to make payments of benefits in accordance with the terms of the Plan, the Company shall make the balance of each such payment as it falls due. Trustee shall notify the Company where principal and earnings are not sufficient.
3. Trustee Responsibility Regarding Payments to Trust Beneficiary When Company Is Insolvent.
(a) The Trustee shall cease payment of benefits to Plan participants and their beneficiaries if the Company is Insolvent. The Company shall be
