Summary of the APOI Agreement
Following is a summary of the APOI Agreement (the "Agreement") that was prepared for you by
Alan Halperin of Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison, LLP. You are the Grantor of the
trusts created under the Agreement.
It is intended that this trust will receive the remainder of the APOI GRAT, as well as the assets
of the Black 2006 Family Trust upon a decanting of such trust by its trustees. Once you have
settled on the terms of the Heritage Trust, it will be the ultimate recipient of the assets held under
this Agreement.
I.
Discretionary Trust. Until such time as the Trustees decide to create Separate Trusts for
your descendants (see I B below), all trust property will be held in a single "Discretionary
Trust" for the benefit of Debra and your descendants.
A.
The Trustees have broad discretion to distribute income and principal to Debra and
your descendants, but before doing so, you request that they consider the
recipient's particular circumstances (Le., his or her financial acumen and solvency,
risk of an impending divorce, or a mental, emotional or medical condition or
addiction that would make a distribution ill advised at that time).
B.
Instead of paying income and principal directly to a descendant of yours, the
Trustees may instead fund a "Separate Trust" for such descendant (called the
"Beneficiary" thereof), described in II below.
C.
The Discretionary Trust will terminate on the "perpetuities date" (21 years after
the death of the survivor of Debra and your children), or if sooner, upon the death
of the survivor of Debra and your descendants. Upon termination, the remaining
trust property will be distributed to your descendants, or if none are living, to your
estate.
II.
Separate Trust For Descendants. Each Separate Trust for a descendant of yours will
be administered and disposed of as follows:
A.
The Trustees have broad discretion to distribute income and principal to the
Beneficiary and his or her descendants, but before doing so, you request that
they consider the recipient's particular circumstances.
B.
Each Separate Trust will terminate upon the Beneficiary's death and the
remaining property will be distributed to such of your descendants (other than
the Beneficiary, his or her estate or creditors) as the Beneficiary appoints by
EFTA00585931
Page I 2
Will. Any property not appointed will be divided for the Beneficiary's
descendants and held in a Separate Trust for each descendant. If the
Beneficiary has no living descendants, the trust property will be divided for the
descendants of the Beneficiary's nearest ancestor who was a descendant of
yours, or if none, for your then living descendants, and in each case held in a
Separate Trust.
III.
Marital Trust. Any portion of a grantor retained annuity trust taxable in your estate
will be held in a Marital Trust for Debra under the Agreement.
A.
Debra will receive all trust income quarterly during her lifetime and the
Trustees have discretion to pay principal for her medical needs and
emergencies.
B.
The Marital Trust will terminate upon Debra's death and the remaining
principal will be added to the Discretionary Trust, described in I above.
IV.
Trustees.
A.
Discretionary Trust. Barry Cohen, John Hannan and Richard Ressler (and after
your death, Debra) are Trustees of the Discretionary Trust.
B.
Separate Trusts. Barry, John and Richard are Trustees of each Separate Trust.
After your death, each Beneficiary who attains age 35 becomes a co-Trustee, and
upon attaining age 40 can remove a Trustee of his or her separate Trust.
C.
Marital Trust. Barry, Richard and Debra are Trustees of any Marital Trust.
D.
Successor/Additional Trustees. Antony Ressler is successor Trustee to Richard for
all Trusts. John is successor Trustee to Barry for the Marital Trust. There is
flexibility to appoint your children as co-Trustees of the Discretionary Trust and of
his or her Separate Trust at any time.
E.
Compensation.
1.
Debra and your descendants are not entitled to compensation.
2.
Other individual Trustees are not compensated unless they elect by December
1st to be compensated for the following year. Aggregate compensation for
acting as Trustee of all trusts created by you is the lesser of (i) $400,000 per
year (CPI adjusted) and (ii) 1/3`i of a New York annual statutory commission.
V.
Grantor Trust. For added flexibility and to ensure grantor trust status, the Agreement
grants you power to substitute trust property with other property of equivalent value.
"Grantor trust" status means that you will be taxed on all income, including capital gains,
generated in the trusts created under the Agreement
