NOTE: If the Plan is NOT a Governmental Plan and if "No" is not selected, you may generate a trust agreement that is based on the sample "Rabbi" trust published by the IRS in Revenue Procedure 92-64. The sample trust agreement that is generated on the ftwilliam.com system has preselected many of the optional provisions listed in Revenue Procedure 92-64. You should review the sample trust agreement to determine if the trust reflects the intent of the company.
BASIC PLAN DOCUMENT:
Section 7.02 FUNDED STATUS
(a) Unfunded Plan. This Subsection applies if the Plan is not a Governmental Plan. The Plan is intended to constitute an unfunded plan. Any amount due and payable pursuant to the terms of the Plan shall be paid out of the general assets of the Company except to the extent that it is paid from a grantor trust. All assets of the Plan shall be subject to the claims of creditors of the Company. Participants and Beneficiaries shall not have an interest in any specific asset of the Company or in any specific asset held in a grantor trust or a Company account established as a result of participation in this Plan. Except as may be provided under the terms of a grantor trust, the Company shall have no obligation to set aside any funds for the purpose of making any benefit payments under this Plan. Nothing contained herein shall give any Participant any rights that are greater than those of an unsecured creditor of the Company with respect to any unpaid amount as to which the Participant has a vested interest. No action taken pursuant to the terms of this Plan shall be construed to create a funded arrangement, a plan asset, or fiduciary relationship among the Company, its designee and a Participant or Beneficiary.
(b) Trust Fund. This Subsection applies if the Plan is a Governmental Plan.
(1) Assets Held in Trust. All contributions, all property and rights purchased with such amounts, and all income attributable to such amounts, property, or rights shall be held and invested in the Trust Fund in accordance with this Plan and the Trust Agreement. The Trust Fund, and any subtrust established under the Plan, shall be established pursuant to a written agreement. The Trustee shall ensure that all investments, amounts, property, and rights held under the Trust Fund are held for the exclusive benefit of Participants and their Beneficiaries. The Trust Fund shall be held in trust pursuant to the Trust Agreement for the exclusive benefit of Participants and their Beneficiaries and defraying reasonable expenses of the Plan and of the Trust Fund. It shall be impossible, prior to the satisfaction of all liabilities with respect to Participants and their Beneficiaries, for any part of the assets and income of the Trust Fund to be used for, or diverted to, purposes other than for the exclusive benefit of Participants and their Beneficiaries.
(2) Custodial Accounts and Annuity Contracts. For purposes of the trust requirement of this Subsection (b), custodial accounts and annuity contracts described in Code section 401(f) that satisfy the requirements of Treas. Reg. 1.457-8(a)(3) are treated as trusts under rules similar to the rules of Code section 401(f).
(3) Creditors. Except as expressly provided in the Plan, the interests of each Participant or Beneficiary under the Plan are not subject to the claims of the Participant's or Beneficiary's creditors.
(4) IRS Levy. the Plan Administrator may pay from a Participant's or Beneficiary's Account balance the amount that the Plan Administrator finds is lawfully demanded under a levy issued by the Internal Revenue Service with respect to that Participant or Beneficiary or is sought to be collected by the United States Government under a judgment resulting from an unpaid tax assessment against the Participant or Beneficiary.
(5) Mistaken Contributions. If any contribution (or any portion of a contribution) is made to the Plan by a good faith mistake of fact, then within one year after the payment of the contribution, and upon receipt in good order of a proper request approved by the Plan Administrator, the amount of the mistaken contribution (adjusted for any income or loss in value, if any, allocable thereto) shall be returned directly to the Participant or, to the extent required or permitted by the Plan Administrator, to the Employer.
