THIS AGREEMENT made this

between LEON D. BLACK of the State of New York (hereinafter called the "Grantor"),
and LEON D. BLACK (hereinafter, along with any other person, bank or trust company
qualifying as additional or successor trustees, referred to as the "Trustees").
WITNESSETH:
The property transferred to the Trustees hereunder shall be held by the
Trustees IN TRUST subject to the following terms and conditions. This trust agreement
shall be known as the LB REVOCABLE TRUST AGREEMENT.
FIRST:
DISPOSITION OF INITIAL TRUST
(A)
During the life of the Grantor, the Trustees shall pay to the
Grantor so much of the income of this trust as the Trustees may deem advisable in their
sole and absolute discretion, including such amount as the Trustees may deem advisable
to enable the Grantor to pay income taxes. Any income not directed to be paid shall be
accumulated by adding such income to the principal of the trust.
(B)
At any time and from time to time during the life of the
Grantor, the Trustees may, in their sole and absolute discretion, pay to him so much of
the principal of this trust as the Trustees may deem advisable, including such amount as
the Trustees may deem advisable to enable the Grantor to pay income taxes.
(C)
At any time and from time to time during the life of the
Grantor, the Grantor may withdraw from the income and/or principal of this trust so
much of the income and/or principal as the Grantor shall direct by instrument in writing
signed and delivered to the Trustees during his lifetime.

EFTA00601830
(D)
At any time and from time to time during the life of the
Grantor, the Grantor, by instrument signed and delivered to the Trustees, may direct the
Trustees to pay income and/or principal to any individual or entity. Any payment made
by the Trustees pursuant to such direction shall be deemed to be a withdrawal by the
Grantor followed by a transfer to such individual or entity, it being the Grantor's desire to
avoid the multiple re-titling of assets.
(E)
In addition, during any period in which the Grantor is
Incapacitated (as defined in Clause THIRTEENTH), the Independent Trustees (as
defined in Clause THIRTEENTH) are authorized to make the following distributions:
(1)
The Independent Trustees are hereby authorized
and empowered to make gifts on the Grantor's behalf of cash or property, either outright
or in trust, to or for the benefit of such one or more of (i) the Grantor's wife DEBRA R.
BLACK ("DEBRA"), (ii) the Grantor's descendants, (iii) the Grantor's sister JUDY
ELLEN BLACK ("JUDY"), (iv) the Grantor's mother SHIRLEY BLACK
("SHIRLEY"), and (v) Qualified Charitable Organizations (as defined in Clause
THIRTEENTH), as the Independent Trustees, in their sole, absolute and uncontrolled
discretion deem advisable, at any time and from time to time. It is the Grantor's intent to
permit the Independent Trustees to make gifts either to continue any pattern of gift-giving
that the Grantor may have established, or if the Independent Trustees believe that such
gifts will be in the best interests of the Grantor's family, taking into consideration the tax
consequences of making or refraining from making such gift. The Trustees are further
authorized and empowered to pay any gift or generation-skipping transfer ("GST") taxes
that may be payable in connection with any gift made pursuant to this provision.

(2)
The Independent Trustees are hereby authorized
and empowered to pay on the Grantor's behalf such of the Grantor's enforceable debts as
they come due.
(F)
Upon the death of the Grantor, the remaining trust property
shall be disposed of as the Grantor may appoint by his Last Will in favor of any
appointee or appointees, including his estate.
(G)
Upon the death of the Grantor, any remaining trust property
which is not effectively appointed pursuant to his testamentary power of appointment,
together with any property bequeathed to this trust by the Grantor or added hereto at or
by reason of the Grantor's death, shall be disposed of as directed hereinafter under this
Agreement.

together with all insurance covering the Grantor's Collectibles, to the LEON BLACK

shall be delivered contemporaneously to the Trustees of such Legacy Trust that shall
receive a selected Collectible, and shall terminate completely if and to the extent it is not

appropriation is intended to be, and shall be treated as, a power described in the flush
language following Section 2055(a)(5) of the Code to consume, invade or appropriate
property for the benefit of an individual, the complete termination of which before the
date prescribed for the filing of the estate tax return for the Grantor's estate shall be
considered and deemed to be a qualified disclaimer with the same full force and effect as
though a qualified disclaimer of said power had been filed.
(d)
The Trustees may exercise the foregoing
power of appropriation to any extent, or not exercise said power, in their complete
discretion. Nevertheless, the Trustees shall be guided by the Grantor's wishes made
known to them. Their decision as to whether or not, and the extent to which, to exercise
said power shall be final and binding on all persons and entities interested hereunder, and
they shall not be liable to any person or entity interested hereunder for any failure to
exercise said power.
(e)
To the extent that the Trustees select any
Collectibles that are held by an Art Entity, the Trustees shall instruct the manager of such
Art Entity to distribute such Collectible to the Trustees of such Legacy Trust. The
Grantor confirms that the Trustees have the further authority to direct the liquidation of
any such Art Entity as is necessary in order to effect the disposition of the Collectibles
pursuant to this Clause SECOND.

the Grantor's children.
(b)
The Trustees are authorized to sell such of
the remaining items of personal and household use or ornament for purposes of division

make an election pursuant to Section 2056(bX7) of the Code, or any successor thereto,
and any similar statute under state law. The Grantor's Executors (other than DEBRA)
may determine to make said election or elections with respect to all or any part or none of
the Marital Trusts, all in the Executors' complete discretion. The Grantor suggests to his
Executors (other than DEBRA) by way of illustration and without limiting such
Executors' absolute authority, that the Grantor's Executors consider in making said
election not only the Federal and state estate tax consequences for the Grantor's estate but
also the Federal and state estate and gift tax consequences for DEBRA which result from
said election. The determination of the Grantor's Executors (other than DEBRA) as to
18
Doclf: USI:8489O98v16 0191i46-00001
EFTA00601847
whether and to what extent to make said election shall be absolute and conclusive,
regardless of the personal interest any Executor may have in the consequences of such
election. The Grantor's Executors shall not be held liable, responsible or accountable, in
court or otherwise, to any beneficiary, for the consequences of the exercise, the manner
of exercise or failure to exercise the power granted under this Clause NINTH.
(B)
The Grantor directs that any trust principal passing to a
Marital Trust which the Grantor's Executors (other than DEBRA) do not elect to qualify
for the marital deduction shall be held in a separate trust, apart from the principal of the
Marital Trust for which an election is made by the Grantor's Executors to qualify for the
marital deduction. The Grantor further directs that any trust principal passing to a
Marital Trust for which the Grantor's Executors (other than DEBRA) elect to qualify for
the marital deduction for either state estate tax purposes or Federal estate tax purposes,
but not both, also shall be held in a separate trust. All such Marital Trusts shall be
administered under paragraph (B) of Clause SIXTH and Clause EIGHTH, as the case
may be, in accordance with the terms above set forth. Without imposing any legal
obligation upon the Trustees, the Grantor recommends that, in making discretionary
principal payments to DEBRA, the Trustees take into account all potential transfer taxes.
(C)
Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the
contrary, any power, duty or discretionary authority granted to the Executors of the
Grantor's estate or any Trustee hereunder (other than the power to make elections under
any tax law) shall be absolutely void to the extent that the right to exercise such power,
duty or authority or the exercise thereof would in any way affect, jeopardize or cause the
disallowance to the Marital Trusts of all or any part of the tax benefit afforded by the
19
Dod USI &89098v16 019846-00003
EFTA00601848
marital deduction provisions of Section 2056 of the Code (to the extent so elected by the
Executors of the Grantor's estate).
(D)
If any part of DEBRA's gross estate for Federal estate tax
purposes consists of property which is includible by reason of Section 2044 of the
Internal Revenue Code, relating to certain property for which the marital deduction was
allowed in the Grantor's estate, the Executor of DEBRA's estate shall be entitled to
recover from the Trustees of the Marital Trusts the estate taxes payable by DEBRA's
estate by reason of such inclusion, in accordance with the Code and the law of DEBRA's
domicile at the time of her death; provided that none of the payments shall be made from
property of any Marital Trust which is not included in DEBRA's gross estate for Federal
estate tax purposes; and provided further, however, that all such taxes, to the extent
possible, shall be paid first from the property passing under subparagraph (C)(5) of
Clause EIGHTH, thereby preserving (to the extent possible) the GST Marital Trust and
the property passing under subparagraphs (C)(1) through (C)(4) of Clause EIGHTH.
(E)
If DEBRA, pursuant to the authority granted to her under
paragraph (A) of Clause FOURTEENTH, at any time directs the Trustees to sell any of
the Grantor's Collectibles or any of the Residential Property held by the Marital Trust:
(1)
(a)
The Trustees of Hefitage Trust shall have
the first option to purchase any or all of the Residential Property from the Marital Trust at
the Fair Market Value (as defined in Clause THIRTEENTH) as determined by the
Appraised Value (as defined in Clause THIRTEENTH). The Trustees of the Heritage
Trust shall exercise said option to purchase by delivering written notice to the Trustees of
the Marital Trust within thirty (30) days of the Trustees receiving the Appraised Value.

EFTA00601849
(b)
If the Trustees of the Heritage Trust fail to
exercise the foregoing option to purchase, the Trustees of the Marital Trust, in their
discretion, may sell such property to any one or more of the Grantor's children and/or the
Trustees of the Legacy Trusts for the Appraised Value. If more than one of the Grantor's
children and/or Trustees of the Legacy Trusts wish to purchase the same property, the
Trustees of the Marital Trust (other than any child of the Grantor) shall develop a
mechanism for resolving any such dispute, which shall be final and binding on all of the
Grantor's children and the Trustees of the Legacy Trusts. The Grantor's children and/or
the Trustees of the Legacy Trusts shall exercise said option to purchase by delivering
written notice to the Trustees of the Marital Trust within thirty (30) days of the lapse of
the option granted to the Trustees of the Heritage Trust under subparagraph (E)(1)(a) of
this Clause NINTH.
(c)
If, after the lapse of the foregoing options to
purchase any Residential Property under subparagraphs (E)(1)(a) and (E)(I)(b) of this
Clause NINTH, the Trustees of the Marital Trust are prepared to accept a bona fide
written offer from a third party buyer to purchase the same Residential Property for the
Decreased Amount (as defined in Clause THIRTEENTH), the Trustees of the Marital
Trust shall give prompt written notice of such offer to the Trustees of the Heritage Trust,
the Trustees of the Legacy Trusts, and the Grantor's children, which notice further shall
include an option to purchase such Residential Property for the Decreased Amount (the
"Residence Option Notice"). The Trustees of the Heritage Trust, the Trustees of the
Legacy Trusts, and the Grantor's children shall exercise the option to purchase such
Residential Property by delivering written notice to the Trustees of the Marital Trust
21
Doa USI S4S909SvI6 019146-00003
EFTA00601850
within thirty (30) days of receiving the Residence Option Notice. If more than one of the
Trustees of the Heritage Trust, the Trustees of the Legacy Trusts, and the Grantor's
children wish to purchase a Residential Property for the Decreased Amount, (i) the
Trustees of the Heritage Trust shall have first priority in making such purchase, and (ii)
with respect to any multiple offers to purchase by the Trustees of the Legacy Trusts
and/or the Grantor's children, the Trustees of the Marital Trust (other than any child of
the Grantor) shall develop a mechanism for resolving any such dispute, which shall be
final and binding on all of the Grantor's children and the Trustees of the Legacy Trusts.
(2)
(a)
The Grantor's children and the Trustees of
the Legacy Trusts shall have the first option to purchase any of the Grantor's Collectibles
from the Marital Trust at the Fair Market Value as determined by the Appraised Value.
The Grantor's children and the Trustees of the Legacy Trusts shall exercise said option to
purchase by delivering written notice to the Trustees of the Marital Trust within thirty
(30) days of the Trustees receiving the Appraised Value. If more than one of the
Grantor's children and the Trustees of the Legacy Trusts wish to purchase the same
Collectible, the Trustees of the Marital Trust (other than any child of the Grantor) shall
develop a mechanism for resolving any such dispute, which shall be fmal and binding on
all of the Grantor's children and the Trustees of the Legacy Trusts. Without imposing
any legal obligation, it is the Grantor's wish that the Trustees of the Marital Trust, in
developing such mechanism, take into account any requests regarding the disposition of
such Collectibles as set forth in any writing signed by the Grantor that is in existence at
his death.

If, after the lapse of the foregoing option to
purchase a Collectible under subparagraph (E)(2)(a) of this Clause NINTH, the Trustees
of the Marital Trust are prepared to accept a bona fide written offer from a third party
buyer to purchase such Collectible for the Decreased Amount, the Trustees of the Marital
Trust shall give prompt written notice of such offer to the Grantor's children and the
Trustees of the Legacy Trusts, which notice further shall include an option to purchase
such Collectible for the Decreased Amount (the "Collectible Option Notice"). The
Grantor's children and/or Trustees of the Legacy Trusts shall exercise the option to
purchase such Collectible by delivering written notice to the Trustees of the Marital Trust
within thirty (30) days of receiving the Collectible Option Notice. If more than one of
the Grantor's children and/or Trustees of the Legacy Trusts wish to purchase the same
Collectible for the Decreased Amount, the Trustees of the Marital Trust (other than any
child of the Grantor) shall develop a mechanism for resolving any such dispute, which
shall be final and binding on all of the Grantor's children and the Trustees of the Legacy
Trusts.
(F)
The Grantor confirms that the Trustees acting hereunder
and the Executors of the Grantor's estate may engage in transactions with respect to the
property directed to be disposed of pursuant to the provisions herein so long as such
transactions comply with the exception to the indirect self-dealing rules for private
foundations that is provided under Treasury Regulation Section 53.4941(d)-1(b)(3).

approved for payment by the Executor of the Grantor's estate. All such payments shall
be made without requiring reimbursement from any person and without apportionment.

Except as otherwise provided in the Grantor's Will, the
Trustees shall pay all inheritance, succession, transfer and estate taxes (including foreign

respect of (i) property passing under this Agreement, (ii) property passing under the
Grantor's Last Will, (iii) any gift tax included in the Grantor's gross estate under

EFTA00601853
(1)
If DEBRA survives the Grantor:
(a)
All such taxes, other than state estate taxes
that are allowed as deductions in computing the Federal estate tax for the Grantor's
estate, shall be paid out of the property set aside under Clause FIFTH, without
apportionment or reimbursement from any beneficiary. If such sum is insufficient, the
balance of such taxes shall be paid as a general administration expense out of the residue
of the initial trust passing under Clause SEVENTH without apportionment or
reimbursement from any beneficiary.
(b)
The Grantor confirms that if DEBRA
survives the Grantor, any state estate taxes that are allowed as deductions in computing
the Federal estate tax shall be paid as general administration expenses out of the property
passing under paragraph (A) of Clause SEVENTH.
(2)
If DEBRA does not survive the Grantor, such
taxes shall be paid out of the residue of the initial trust passing under Clause SEVENTH
as if such taxes were expenses of administration, without apportionment or
reimbursement from any beneficiary.
(3)
The Grantor confirms his understanding that the
foregoing directions will reduce the estate tax charitable deduction available to his and
DEBRA's estates under Section 2055(a) of the Code, thereby increasing the resulting
estate tax (further reducing the charitable deduction).
(C)
Except as otherwise provided in the Grantor's Will, all
inheritance, succession, transfer and estate taxes that are payable by reason of the
Grantor's death with respect to property passing outside the Grantor's Will, other than

any property includible in the Grantor's gross estate by reason of Section 2044 of the
Code (or any similar statute under state law relating to certain property for which the
marital deduction was previously allowed) which has an inclusion ratio of zero for GST
tax purposes, shall be charged to and apportioned in accordance with New York law.
(D)
Any GST tax on direct skips (as defined by the Code)
occurring at the Grantor's death, other than direct skips with respect to property passing
outside of this Agreement or the Grantor's Will and direct skips resulting from a
disclaimer, shall be paid out of the residue of the initial trust passing under Clause
SEVENTH as if such taxes were expenses of administration, without apportionment or
reimbursement from any beneficiary. Any GST tax with respect to a direct skip resulting
from a disclaimer or a taxable termination (as defined by the Code) shall be paid from the
property subject to the tax by the Trustees. Any GST tax with respect to a taxable
distribution (as defined by the Code) shall be paid from the property subject to the tax by
the recipient of the distribution.
(E)
The Trustees shall be completely protected in relying upon
the certification of the Executor of the Grantor's estate as to the payments to be made,
even though such Executor may be beneficially interested in the Grantor's estate and the
trusts hereunder and may be a Trustee hereunder.
ELEVENTH:
DISTRIBUTION GUIDELINES
(A)
In exercising the discretionary powers granted to the
Trustees with respect to the trust that exists under Clause FIRST, in determining whether
26
Doe' US1 114890911v16015146-00003
EFTA00601855
to pay or accumulate income, the Trustees may pay income for any reason or purpose,
and the Trustees need not consider the other resources that may be available from any
source to the Grantor. The determination of the Trustees as to whether to pay (or not to
pay) income and/or principal at any time shall be conclusive.
(B)
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement:
The Grantor directs that no person other than the Grantor who may be serving at any time
as a Trustee of any trust hereunder and (i) who has a current beneficial interest in such
trust, (ii) who has a beneficial interest in the remainder of such trust that would cause the
exercise of such power to be treated as a gift by such Trustee for Federal gift tax
purposes, (iii) whose disclaimer, in his or her individual capacity, resulted in the funding,
in whole or in part, of such trust, or (iv) who is a permissible beneficiary of the income
and/or principal of any other trust, whether created under this Agreement or otherwise
("such other trust"), if any Trustee of such other trust is a permissible beneficiary of the
trust hereunder, may participate in the exercise of any discretionary power to pay income
or principal from such trust. The Grantor further directs that no person who may be
serving at any time as a Trustee of any trust hereunder shall have any power or discretion
to make any payment or application of income or principal from such trust to or for the
use or benefit of any person whom such Trustee, in his or her individual capacity, is
legally obligated to support, if such payment or application shall constitute the discharge
of any part of such Trustee's legal support obligation.

(B)
(1)
Each individual serving from time to time as a

may appoint any person or bank or trust company to serve as his or her successor Trustee
of any trust. No designation of successor Trustee in accordance with this subparagraph

of the statutory commissions to which a sole individual Trustee would be entitled to
receive under New York law as compensation for services rendered in acting as a
Trustee, and (ii) the sum of Four Hundred Thousand Dollars ($400,000) per year, as

investments authorized by law for the investment of trust funds; provided that DEBRA
shall have the right, by written notice, to require the Trustees to convert unproductive
property in the Marital Trusts to productive property, within a reasonable time. It is also
the Grantor's intent that the Trustees may, in their sole and absolute discretion, make
different investments for the trusts under this Agreement.
(13)
To sell for cash or on credit (at public or private sale),
exchange, mortgage, lease for any period (either as landlord or tenant and including
renewals of the term) and modify, extend or cancel leases, grant options, all regardless of
statutory restrictions or the probable duration of any trust, or otherwise dispose of or deal
with any real or personal property, in such manner and upon such terms and conditions as
the Trustees may deem advisable and without first obtaining a court order; to erect,
renovate or alter buildings or otherwise improve and manage buildings and property;
demolish buildings; make ordinary and extraordinary repairs; grant easements and make
party wall contracts; dedicate roads; subdivide; adjust boundary lines and partition; and to

however, if DEBRA survives the Grantor, any property in respect of which there are
credits against the U.S. estate tax for foreign death taxes or which is not eligible for the
42
Doe, IASI 843909806 01984640003

marital deduction, to the extent possible, shall be allocated to the amount that may pass
at the Grantor's death without Federal estate tax due to the Exemption Amount.
(D)
To apply any income or principal that is payable to a minor
or any person who in the judgment of the Trustees is incapable of making proper
disposition thereof, by payments on behalf of the beneficiary to anyone with whom the

without regard to other resources of the beneficiary, without the intervention of any
guardian or committee or like fiduciary, and without obligation to see to the further
application thereof.
(E)
To engage and rely on accountants, appraisers, legal
counsel and other experts; to employ agents, custodians of the assets and other assistants;

will pass by delivery, or in the name of any corporate Trustee without disclosing any
fiduciary capacity; and to leave property in the custody of a firm of stockbrokers and

EFTA00601872
(H)
To borrow money from any source for the payment of
taxes, debts or expenses, or to satisfy encumbrances against property, or to make
investments in any real or personal property, for any other purpose which in the opinion
of the Trustees will benefit the beneficiaries or will facilitate the administration of any
trust hereunder, and pledge or mortgage property as security for such loans; to
subordinate the Trustees' interest in any property to the interest of a lender; to guarantee
obligations of the Trustees and others; and if money is borrowed from others or any of
the Trustees individually, to pay interest thereon. The Trustees are specifically
empowered to purchase securities and other assets on margin, and to do everything
necessary to make such purchases.

any purpose which in the opinion of the Trustees will benefit such beneficiary, in such

security, or to pledge trust property for loans made to such beneficiary from any source,
all as the Trustees may determine in their sole and absolute discretion; provided,

property for loans made to the income beneficiary of such trust.

of any trust hereunder, or sell any subscription or other rights or allow any such rights to
expire or lapse.
(L)
To continue an interest or investment in any business or
venture or entity for such period as the Trustees may deem advisable, in the most

guarantee the obligations of, any such business or venture or entity, upon such terms as

with any other corporation. The Trustees are authorized to conduct any such business or
venture in partnership form, as general or limited partners, upon such terms and
conditions as the Trustees may deem advisable. Any Trustee is authorized to serve as
an officer, director, employee or agent of any such business or venture or entity and to
receive compensation for the Trustee's services, in addition to the Trustee's commissions
as fiduciary under this Agreement. The Trustees are authorized to engage others to serve
as officers, directors, employees and agents of any such business, venture or entity upon
such terms as the Trustees may deem advisable. In general, the Trustees are authorized
to do everything in respect of the conduct of any such business or venture or entity that

45
Dour US1848909806019846-00003
EFTA00601874
or entity, such Trustee shall not be bound or responsible under the usual rules concerning
divided loyalty and self-dealing. In the Trustees' accountings the Trustees need not show
in detail the transactions of any such business or venture or entity but may merely show
the investment which any trust has in any such business or venture or entity at relevant
times and dates. The provisions of this paragraph (L) are subject to DEBRA's right to
require the Trustees to convert unproductive property in the Marital Trusts to productive
property within a reasonable time as provided in paragraph (A) of this Clause
FOURTEENTH.
(M)
To enter into voting trusts and use and rely on proxies and

corporations or a substantial interest in one or more partnerships, limited liability
companies or other unincorporated enterprises from the Grantor or any other source. The
Grantor intends that the Trustees may retain such stock or interest for such period as the

rules concerning diversification of investments or theories or principles of investment for
46

EFTA00601875
fiduciaries. In exercising the Trustees' discretion, the Trustees shall be free to act
without regard to any personal holdings the Trustees may have in said corporation,
partnership or enterprise or the affiliation or association of any nature which the Trustees
may have to said corporation, partnership or enterprise. It is the Grantor's intention that
the Trustees shall be free to exercise the Trustees' judgment without regard to the usual
rules concerning divided loyalty or self-dealing.
(0)
To deal with interests the trust may have in oil, natural gas,
minerals, and all other natural resources and rights to and interests therein (together with
all equipment pertaining thereto) including, without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, oil and gas royalties, leases, or other oil and gas interests of any character,
whether owned in fee, as lessee, lessor, licensee, concessionaire or otherwise, or alone or
jointly with others as partner, joint tenant, or joint venturer or in any other non-corporate
manner.
(P)
To sell any securities held by the Trustees, to register the
same under the Securities Act of 1933 or any other United States federal securities law or
to register or qualify any such securities for sale under any state securities law, and to do

to enter into any agreements with underwriters, and with the corporation securities of
which are being sold, to make such representations and warranties, assume such
obligations and engage in such undertakings of indemnity as may be deemed proper (or
to make such other arrangements concerning the same, including without limitation the
purchase of an insurance policy or policies, charging the cost thereof to the principal of
the trust holding such securities), to create escrows, to enter into custody agreements, and
47
Doc US! 8O9098M 019846-00003
EFTA00601876
in any case in which it becomes advisable for them to enter into any agreement
containing representations or undertakings which, but for qualifying terms of the
agreement, would render them personally liable therefor, at their option, to enter into and
execute any such agreement in their official capacities only and not individually, in which
case, if the terms of the applicable agreement so provide, the representations and
undertakings shall be binding upon the trust, but shall not be binding upon them
personally.
(Q)
To allow DEBRA to use or occupy any residential property
owned by the Trust, whether or not she is charged rent. The Grantor directs further that

occupy any residential property at a below-market rent.

property which is transferred to the Trustees at any time or bequeathed to the Trustees at
any time by the Grantor or any other person. The Trustees are empowered to receive
benefits of any insurance policy which is made payable to the Trustees at any time.

All actions taken by the Trustees during the Grantor's life
while the Grantor is serving as Trustee shall be deemed to be, and hereby are, ratified and

to the persons who would be entitled to principal if the trust then ended and if no power
of appointment is exercised.
(D)

ninety days from the service of such notice one or more of the persons to whom the

REVOCATION AND AMENDMENT
The Grantor reserves the power to revoke or amend this Agreement, in
whole or in part by instrument in writing which is signed by the Grantor and

EIGHTEENTH:
SITUS/GOVERNING LAW
The validity and construction of this Agreement and the trusts hereby
created shall be governed by the laws of New York. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
Trustees, or a majority of the Trustees if there be more than one, may, at any time and
from time to time, by written instrument, change the situs of a trust or trusts under this
Agreement and/or declare that the trust or trusts hereunder shall from the date of such
declaration, or from a date stated in such declaration, take effect in accordance with the
law of such other jurisdiction as they, in their sole and absolute discretion, determine, and
thereafter the law of such other jurisdiction shall govern the validity and construction of
the trust or trusts hereunder, provided, however, that if the Trustees exercise the
discretionary power under this Clause EIGHTEENTH to change the situs and governing
jurisdiction of a trust or trusts under this Agreement, the Trustees may initiate such
judicial proceedings (if any) as the Trustees deem necessary or desirable to accomplish
such change, whether or not such proceeding is required by the law of the new governing
jurisdiction. However, nothing in this Clause EIGHTEENTH shall be construed as
allowing a Trustee to exercise this power in a manner that will result in the Marital Trusts
50

(or shall continue to) be made if a court enters an order prohibiting such payment, and (b)

any loss or damage relating to trust funds (including without limitation, any failure,
depreciation or loss of investments by reason of any mistake or omission), so long as

judgments or any other type of loss or expenditure which they may incur as a result of
their qualification as Trustee, and for serving as director or officer of any company,
partnership or other entity whose shares or other equity interests are held, directly or
