Re:
The Joshua Max Black 2011 Trust
Following is a summary of the agreement dated December 20, 2012 (the "Trust Agreement")
creating the Joshua Max Black 2011Trust (the "2011 Trust"). Carlyn McCaffrey and Elyse
Kirschner of McDermott Will & Emery, LLP prepared the Trust Agreement. Josh is the Settlor
of the 2011 Trust.
The 2011 Trust was funded by Josh with his right to receive payments under a promissory note
issued to him from the Trustees of his separate trust under the Black 2011 Family Trust
Agreement.
I.
Josh's Trust. During Josh's lifetime, the 2011 Trust will be held in a single trust for his
benefit ("Josh's Trust"), as follows:
A.
The Trust Advisor has broad discretion to direct the Trustees to pay Josh the
income and principal of Josh's Trust for any purpose.
B.
Josh's Trust will terminate upon his death and the remaining principal will be
distributed as Josh appoints by Will to anyone (other than himself, his estate or
the creditors of either). Any property Josh fails to appoint will be distributed to
his descendants, or if none, to the descendants of his parents (you and Debra),
subject in each case to a Beneficiary's Trust, described below.
II.
Trusts for Descendants. Any property of Josh's Trust payable to a descendant of Josh (or
to a descendant of his parents, as the case may be) will be held in a separate
"Beneficiary's Trust" for the benefit of such descendant (referred to as the Beneficiary
with respect to his or her Beneficiary's Trust") and disposed of as follows:
A.
The Trustees must distribute any income and principal of the Beneficiary's Trust
that the Individual Trustees determine is needed for the Beneficiary's health,
education, support and maintenance.
B.
In addition, the Independent Trustees have broad discretion to distribute income
and principal of the Beneficiary's Trust to the Beneficiary for any purpose.
C.
The Independent Trustees are authorized to grant the Beneficiary the power at
death to appoint the property of his or her Beneficiary's Trust.

D.
The Beneficiary's Trust will terminate upon the Beneficiary's death and any
remaining principal will be distributed as the Beneficiary may appoint. Any
property the Beneficiary fails to appoint will be distributed to the Beneficiary's
descendants, or if none, to the descendants of the Beneficiary's nearest ancestor
who was descended from you and Debra, or if none, to your and Debra'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 Josh's intestate heirs under
Delaware law (other than you and Debra and determined as if Josh were unmarried).
IV.
Trustees/Trust Advisor.
A.
Trustees. You are the initial Trustee. Josh is disqualified from acting as a
Trustee.
1.
You (and after your death or disability Debra) may appoint additional and
successor Trustees and may remove Trustees.
2.
After the death of the survivor of you and Debra, Josh may appoint
additional and/or successor Trustees and may remove Trustees.
3.
After the death of the survivor of you, Debra and Josh, the Beneficiary if
over age 35, may appoint additional and successor Trustees, including
himself or herself, and may remove Trustees. The Independent Trustees
can postpone these powers.
B.
Administrative Trustee. U.S. Trust Company of Delaware is the Administrative
Trustee and has no involvement in investment or distribution decisions.
Individual Trustees are responsible for investment decisions.
C.
Trust Advisor. Debra is the Trust Advisor. You (and after your death, Debra)
may designate a successor Trust Advisor (other than yourself or an individual
who is closely related to or employed by you). After the death of the survivor of
you and Debra, Josh may designate a successor Trust Advisor. There may be
only one Trust Advisor.
D.
Compensation.
1.
U.S. Trust Company of Delaware will be compensated in accordance with
its fee schedule.
2.
Additional or successor Trustees are entitled only to such compensation as
is provided in the instrument appointing such Trustee.

3.
Other Trustees (including you) are not entitled to compensation for acting
as Trustee.
V.
Tax Considerations.
A.
During Josh's lifetime, Josh's Trust will be a "grantor" trust as to Josh for income
tax purposes. This means that Josh will be taxed on all income, including capital
gains, generated in the trust.
B.
Because Josh retains certain powers and interests in the property transferred to the
2011 Trust, Josh's transfer was not a completed gift for gift tax purposes (so no
gift tax was incurred when he created the Trust) and upon his death, the value of
the trust principal will be included in his estate for estate tax purposes.
VI.
Governing Law. Delaware law governs the trusts under the Trust Agreement.
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
imposed by any governmental tax authority or agency, or (ii) promoting, marketing or recommending to another party any transaction or matter
discussed herein. I advise you to consult with an independent tax advisor on your particular tax circumstances.
