DOCUMENT SUMMARY To: Leon D. Black From: Ada Clapp Date: April 12, 2013 cc: Eileen Alexanderson, Jeffrey Epstein Re: Rollo Tomasi Trust Following is a summary of the agreement dated December 20, 2012 (the "Trust Agreement") creating the Rollo Tomasi Trust (the "Trust"). Carlyn McCaffrey and Elyse Kirschner of McDermott Will & Emery, LLP prepare the Trust Agreement. Your daughter, Victoria, is the Settlor of the Trust. I. Trust During Victoria's Lifetime. A. While Victoria is living, the trust property will be held in a single trust for the benefit of Victoria's descendants and Debra. The Independent Trustees have broad discretion to distribute income and principal to any one or more of them for any purpose. Any income not distributed will be accumulated in a separate income account and not added to principal. B. The Independent Trustees may grant Victoria a power exercisable at her death to appoint the Trust principal (but not accumulated income) to anyone other than herself, her creditors, her estate or its creditors. C. Upon Victoria's death, the sprinkling trust will terminate and be distributed as Victoria appoints, if the power referred to in B above is granted to her. Any property she fails to appoint will be divided into per stirpal shares for her descendants (that is, in equal shares for her children with the share for any predeceased child being further subdivided for such deceased child's descendants) and each such share will be held in a Beneficiary's Trust, described below. II. Beneficiary's Trust. Each per stirpal share set apart for a descendant of Victoria (each a "Beneficiary") will be held in a separate trust for the benefit of the Beneficiary (the "Beneficiary's Trust"),I as follows: Each Beneficiary may, in fact, have two Beneficiary's Trusts: one that will hold property exempt from the generation-skipping transfer tax and a second to hold property not so exempt.

The Independent Trustees have broad discretion to distribute income and principal of the Beneficiary's Trust to the Beneficiary for any purpose but they must do so for the Beneficiary's health, education, support and maintenance. B. After age 35, the Beneficiary has power to appoint income and principal of the Beneficiary's Trust to Victoria's then living descendants (other than the Beneficiary). The Independent Trustees may, postpone, suspend or terminate this power for good cause (e.g., creditor issues, pending divorce, etc.). C. The Beneficiary's Trust will terminate upon the Beneficiary's death and will be distributed as the Beneficiary appoints. Any property the Beneficiary fails to appoint will be distributed to his or her descendants, or if none, to the descendants of the Beneficiary's nearest ancestor who was descended from Victoria, or if none, to Victoria's descendants, subject in each case to a Beneficiary's Trust. III. Remote Takers. Any property not effectively disposed of upon the termination of any trust under the Trust Agreement will be distributed to Victoria's intestate heirs under New York law (determined as if Victoria were unmarried). IV. Trustees. A. You are the initial Trustee. Victoria may appoint additional and successor Trustees and may remove Trustees. After Victoria's death or incapacity, the Trustees may designate additional and successor Trustees. B. After age 35, each Beneficiary may designate additional or successor Trustees, including himself or herself and may remove Trustees. The Independent Trustees can postpone these powers. C. Any removed Independent Trustee must be replaced with another Independent Trustee. D. Because the Trust Agreement is silent regarding compensation, unless otherwise agreed, Trustees are entitled to the compensation provided by New York law. 2 2 Under current New York law, an individual Trustee is entitled to an annual commission of approximately 30 basis points on the value of the trust principal, plus 1% of any principal distributions made that year. EFTA00587241 Rollo Tomasi Trust Page 3 V. Grantor Trust. During Victoria's lifetime the single Trust will be a "grantor" trust for income tax purposes as to Victoria. This means that Victoria will be taxed on all income, including capital gains, generated in the trust. The grantor trust status flows from Victoria's ability to reacquire trust property by substituting property of equivalent value. VI. Governing Law. New York law governs the trusts under the Trust Agreement. IRS Circular 230 Disclosure: Pursuant to IRS Regulations.
