Judah 2009 Investment Trust (2009 GRAT)
Following is a summary of the Judah 2009 Investment Trust Agreement dated August 13, 2009 (the
"Trust Agreement") creating the Judah 2009-A Investment Trust (the "2009 GRAT"). Carlyn
McCaffrey and Elyse Kirschner of McDermott Will & Emery prepared the Trust Agreement for you.
You are the Senior of the 2009 GRAT.
I.
GRAT Term. The 2009 GRAT will terminate on the 41k anniversary of the date of the Trust
Agreement (August 13, 2013).
II.
Dispositive Provisions
A.
Annuity During GRAT Term. An annuity payment will be made to you (or if you die
during the GRAT Term, to your estate) each year of the GRAT Term.
1.
The annuity payment for the first year is equal to such percentage' of the
initial fair market value of the property contributed to the 2009 GRAT that,
when increased by 20% each subsequent year, results in your right to receive
the annuity payments having a value equal to 99.99% of the initial fair market
value of the GRAT property.
2.
The annuity payment for each subsequent year of the GRAT Term will equal
120% of the prior year's annuity payment.
B.
Disposition at End of GRAT Term. At the end of the GRAT Term, any property
remaining in the 2009 GRAT (after payment of the final annuity payment) will be
distributed as follows:
I.
If you are then living, such property will be distributed to the trustees of the
Black Family 1997 Trust (described in a separate memorandum).
2.
If you are not then living, such property will be distributed as follows:
I
Based on the August 2009 Section 7520 rate.

a.
Any remaining 2009 GRAT property that is included in your estate for
estate tax purposes will be distributed as you appoint (to anyone other
than yourself, your estate or the creditors of either). Any such
property you fail to appoint will be distributed to Debra provided that
she was your surviving spouse.
b.
Any remaining 2009 GRAT property not includable in your estate for
estate tax purposes will be distributed to the trustees of the Black
Family 1997 Trust.
III.
Trustees. You and John J. Hannon are the Trustees.
A.
Appointment/Removal. You (and after your death or disability Debra) may appoint
additional and successor Trustees and may remove Trustees.
B.
Compensation. The Trust Agreement prohibits payment of 2009 GRAT property
during the GRAT Term other than to satisfy the annuity payments (see pages 8 and
24 of the Trust Agreement), which presumably would prohibit payment of
compensation to the Trustees.
IV.
Grantor Trust. For added flexibility and to ensure grantor trust status, the Trust Agreement
grants you power to substitute trust property with other property of equivalent value (see
page 21 of the Trust Agreement). "Grantor trust" status means that you will be taxed on all
income, including capital gains, generated in the 2009 GRAT during the GRAT Term.
V.
Governing Law. New York law governs the 2009 GRAT.
IRS Circular 230 Disclosure: Pursuant to IRS Regulations. I inform you that any tax advice contained in this communication (including any
attachments) is not intended or written to be used, and cannot be used by any person or entity for the purpose of (i) avoiding tax related penalties
