(b) The Trustee shall maintain a separate account for each Trust Beneficiary. The Trustee 8 shall credit or debit each Trust Beneficiary's account as appropriate to reflect such Trust Beneficiary's allocable portion of the Trust assets, as such Trust assets may be adjusted from time to time pursuant to the terms of this Trust Agreement No. 4. Prior to the date of a Change of Control, all deposits of principal pursuant to Section 1(a) hereof shall be allocated as directed by Cleveland-Cliffs; on or after such date deposits of principal, once allocated, may not be reallocated by Cleveland-Cliffs.
