TRUST AGREEMENT made the
day of December, 2012, between DEBRA
R. BLACK, as Settlor, and DEBRA R. BLACK, LEON D. BLACK and RICHARD RESSLER,
as Trustees.
I: TRUST FUND
The Settlor hereby assigns, transfers and delivers to the Trustees the property
listed on Schedule A annexed hereto. The Trustees acknowledge receipt of such property. This
property shall be the original Trust Fund of a Trust for the benefit of the Beneficiaries, the
dispositive terms of which are set forth in Article II. The Trustees agree to hold such property
and all other assets that are a part of the Trust Fund in trust and to manage and dispose of it in
accordance with the provisions of this Trust Agreement. The Trust may be identified as the
"DRB 2012 FAMILY TRUST."
This Trust Agreement may be identified as the "DRB 2012 FAMILY TRUST
AGREEMENT." The Beneficiaries under this Trust Agreement at any particular time are those
of (1) LEON and (2) the Settlor's issue who are then living. The definitions of the other terms
used in this Trust Agreement are set forth in Article XIII or where they first appear.
II: THE DRB 2012 FAMILY TRUST
Following are the dispositive provisions of the "DRB 2012 FAMILY TRUST":
(A)
Distributions. The Trustees shall pay or apply as much of the Trust Fund
as the Independent Trustees, in their sole discretion, shall determine, to or for the benefit of such
one or more of the Beneficiaries (to the exclusion of any one or more of them) and in such
amounts or proportions as the Independent Trustees, in their sole discretion, shall determine.
Payments or applications pursuant to this section may be made at any time or from time to time,
for any reason or purpose whatsoever. In exercising the discretion granted in this section, the
DM US 39479962-2.088835.00 I I
EFTA00607894
Independent Trustees need not, but may, consider such of the financial resources apart from the
Trust as they deem appropriate of the Beneficiaries, or any one or more of them.
(B)
Accumulations. At the end of each year, the Trustees shall separately
accumulate any net income not paid or applied pursuant to section (A) of this Article. Such
separately accumulated income shall not be added to the principal of the Trust Fund.
(C)
Power of Appointment. LEON shall have the power to appoint any part
or all of the Trust Fund to or for the benefit of such one or more of the Settlor's issue (other than
those whose deaths preceded the time the appointment is effective) in such amounts and
proportions, either outright or in further trust, upon such terms and conditions (including the
granting to the appointee of a further and general or limited power of appointment), and to the
exclusion of any one or more of them, as LEON shall determine. LEON may exercise this
power of appointment either (a) by a written instrument that is signed and acknowledged by
LEON and delivered to the Trustees all at a time when LEON is competent, and that makes
specific reference to this section or (b) by a provision in LEON's Will that makes specific
reference to this section. Any appointment made by such exercise shall be effective on the date
of LEON's death. An appointment shall be revocable until its effective date unless LEON
manifests LEON's intention in the instrument by which the appointment is exercised to make
such appointment irrevocable.
(D)
Trust Termination. Unless sooner terminated by the distribution of the
entire Trust Fund, the Trust shall terminate upon the death of the survivor of the Settlor and
LEON (the "Termination Date"). When the Trust terminates, the Trustees shall pay the Trust
Fund, to the extent not effectively appointed by LEON pursuant to the power of appointment
2
DM US 39479962-2.088835.0011
EFTA00607895
granted under this Article, to the Settlor's issue then living, subject to the provisions of Article
III: SEPARATE TRUSTS FOR ISSUE
If at the termination of any Trust (including any Trust under this Article), any
share of the Trust is payable to an issue of the Settlor subject to the provisions of this Article,
such share shall not be paid outright to such issue (referred to in this Article as the "Primary
Beneficiary"), but shall instead be held in as many separate Trusts for the benefit of the Primary
Beneficiary upon the terms set forth in this Article as the Trustees of the terminated Trust, in
their sole discretion, shall direct.
(A)
Distributions. (1) The Trustees shall pay to the Primary Beneficiary, or
apply for his or her benefit, as much of the Trust Fund as the Trustees, in their sole discretion,
shall determine is necessary for the Primary Beneficiary's health, education, support and
maintenance, taking into consideration the Primary Beneficiary's financial resources apart from
the Trust.
(2)
The Trustees shall pay to the Primary Beneficiary, or apply for his or her
benefit, as much of the Trust Fund as the Independent Trustees, in their sole discretion, shall
determine. Payments or applications pursuant to this subsection may be made at any time or
from time to time, for any reason or purpose whatsoever. In exercising the discretion granted in
this subsection, the Independent Trustees need not, but may, consider such of the Primary
Beneficiary's financial resources apart from the Trust as they deem appropriate.
(3)
At the end of each year, the Trustees shall add to principal any net income
not so paid or applied. The Settlor confirms that the entire Trust Fund may be distributed at any
time to or for the benefit of the Primary Beneficiary pursuant to this section, even though such
3
DM US 39479962-2.088835.0011
EFTA00607896
distribution terminates the Trust and without regard to the interest of any remainderman of the
Trust.
(B)
Powers of Appointment. At any time or from time to time, the Primary
Beneficiary, if he or she is at least thirty-five (35) years of age, shall have the power to appoint
any part or all of the Trust Fund to or for the benefit of such one or more of the Settlor's issue
(other than the Primary Beneficiary and other than those whose deaths preceded the time the
appointment is effective) in such amounts and proportions, either outright or in further trust,
upon such terms and conditions (including the granting to the appointee of a further and general
or limited power of appointment), and to the exclusion of any one or more of them, as the
Primary Beneficiary shall determine, provided that such Primary Beneficiary's power of
appointment has not been postponed, suspended or terminated pursuant to Article IV(J). The
Primary Beneficiary may exercise this power of appointment either (a) by a written instrument
that is signed and acknowledged by the Primary Beneficiary and delivered to the Trustees all at a
time when the Primary Beneficiary is competent, and that makes specific reference to this
section or (b) by a provision in his or her Will that makes specific reference to this section. Any
appointment made by such exercise shall be effective on the date of the Primary Beneficiary's
death. An appointment shall be revocable until its effective date unless the Primary Beneficiary
manifests his or her intention in the instrument by which the appointment is exercised to make
such appointment irrevocable.
(C)
Trust Termination. Unless sooner terminated by the distribution of the
entire Trust Fund, the Trust shall terminate on the date of the Primary Beneficiary's death. Upon
such termination, the Trustees shall pay the Trust Fund, if and to the extent not effectively
appointed pursuant to a power granted under this Article, to the Primary Beneficiary's issue who
4
DM US 39479962-2.088835.0011
EFTA00607897
survive the Primary Beneficiary, or, if no issue of the Primary Beneficiary survives the Primary
Beneficiary, to the issue who survive the Primary Beneficiary of the Primary Beneficiary's
nearest ancestor who was an issue of the Settlor and who has issue who survive the Primary
Beneficiary, or, if there is no such ancestor or issue, to the Settlor's issue who survive the
Primary Beneficiary, subject, in each case, to the provisions of this Article.
(D)
Termination on Perpetuities Date. Notwithstanding any other provision
of this Trust Agreement, the Trust shall terminate, unless it terminates sooner, on the Perpetuities
Date. If the trust terminates pursuant to this section, the Trustees shall pay the Trust Fund to the
Primary Beneficiary, outright and not in trust.

Minors Act of any jurisdiction.
(3)

terminate such parent's rights as a parent, or unless such parent also adopted such individual.
(2)
Except as provided in subsection (5) and Article XIII(A)(22), the adoption
of an individual after his or her nineteenth (19th) birthday by an adoptive parent other than the
6
DM US 39479962-2.088835.0011
EFTA00607899
Settlor shall be ignored for purposes of determining his or her status as a descendant of any
individual.
(3)

Child of parents who were not married to each other at the time of his or her birth shall be
deemed not to be a descendant of his or her Genetic Father unless the Genetic Father (i) marries

period starting at the time of such individual's conception and ending at the time of his or her
birth, (ii) adopts the individual at any time, (iii) acknowledges his paternity of such individual in
a signed instrument filed with any court or governmental agency or delivered to any Trustee
during such father's lifetime or (iv) functioned as a parent of the child. For purposes of this
provision, a father shall be deemed to have functioned as a parent of his Genetic Child if he
behaved toward the child in a manner consistent with being the child's parent and performing
functions that are customarily performed by a parent.
(4)
Except as provided in subsection (5), an individual who is the Genetic
Child of parents who were not married to each other at the time of his or her birth shall be
deemed to be a descendant of his or her Genetic Mother unless she has no legal rights as a parent

his or her genetic material in connection with the conception of the individual in an instrument
that was signed by the Deceased Parent, and (ii) the Deceased Parent (if living) would have had

consenting parent unless such individual is a descendant of such ancestor without regard to his or
her relationship to such consenting parent. An individual who is deemed not to be a descendant
of his or her parent pursuant to subsection (3) or (4) shall be deemed not to be a descendant of
any ancestor of such parent unless such individual is a descendant of such ancestor independent

the two individuals from whom he or she inherited one-half of his or her DNA; (ii) the man from

Mother."

income or principal and whether outright or in trust) under this Trust Agreement depends upon
his or her surviving the occurrence of some event who dies under such circumstances that it is

DM US 39479962-2.088835.0011
EFTA00607901
difficult or impossible to determine whether or not he or she was alive upon the occurrence of
such event shall be deemed for all purposes of this Trust Agreement to have died prior to the
occurrence of such event.
(E)
(Indisposed of Property. If upon the occurrence of any event any share of
a terminated Trust shall not be completely disposed of by the other provisions of this Trust
Agreement, then such undisposed of share shall be paid to those individuals who would have

the Settlor then died intestate, unmarried, the owner of it, and a resident of the State of New
York.

DM US 39479962-2.088835.0011
EFTA00607902
(I)
Distributions to Trusts. If the Independent Trustees of a Trust (the
"original Trust") have the discretion to pay a portion (or all) of the Trust Fund of the original
Trust (the "permitted portion") to or for the benefit of any one or more beneficiaries of such
Trust (the "original discretionary beneficiaries"), such Independent Trustees may exercise such
discretion by directing the payment of any part or all of the permitted portion to the trustee or
trustees of another trust for the benefit of one or more of the original discretionary beneficiaries
(the "recipient trust"), provided, however, that (i) the recipient trust does not direct or permit
payments to or applications by the trustees for the benefit of any Person other than one or more
of the beneficiaries of the original Trust, (ii) the recipient trust does not reduce any fixed income
interest of any income beneficiary of the original Trust, (iii) the recipient trust ends no later than
the Perpetuities Date, (iv) the Independent Trustees give the Settlor, or if the Settlor is not then
competent, LEON, if LEON is then competent, written notice of his, her or its intention to make
such direction at least five (5) days before making the direction and (v) if neither the Settlor nor
LEON is competent, the Independent Trustees give each beneficiary of the original Trust written
notice of his, her or its intention to make such direction at least five (5) days before making the
direction. For purposes of clause (i) of the preceding sentence, the beneficiaries of the original
Trust shall include all beneficiaries of such Trust, whether original discretionary beneficiaries,
income-only beneficiaries or remaindermen, and for purposes of clause (v) of the preceding
sentence, the beneficiaries of the original Trust shall include only those persons who are
competent and to whom current distributions from such Trust may be made. Notwithstanding
the first sentence of this section, the terms of the recipient trust may provide any one or more of
the original discretionary beneficiaries with a power of appointment exercisable in favor of one
10
DM US 39479962-2.088835.0011
EFTA00607903
or more individuals, regardless of whether any such individual is a beneficiary of the original
Trust.
(J)
Power to Postpone.
(1) This Trust Agreement gives each Primary
Beneficiary of a Trust under Article III certain powers beginning on the date on which he or she
attains the age of thirty-five (35) years.
(a)
The Independent Trustees of a Trust under Article III may postpone the
age at or after which the Primary Beneficiary of such Trust may acquire such powers, taking into
account any prior postponements pursuant to this section. A postponement pursuant to this
paragraph shall be effected by a written instrument signed by the Independent Trustees of such
Trust and delivered to the Primary Beneficiary at any time prior to the Primary Beneficiary's
acquisition of such power.
(b)
The Independent Trustees of a terminating Trust under Article II or Ill
may, prior to funding a Trust under Article HI, postpone the age or ages at or after which the
Primary Beneficiary of such Trust would acquire such powers. A postponement pursuant to this
paragraph shall be effected by a written instrument signed by the Independent Trustees of the
terminating Trust and delivered to such Primary Beneficiary no later than thirty (30) days after
the occurrence of the event upon which the terminating Trust terminates.
(c)
The Independent Trustees of a Trust under Article III may suspend or
terminate the Primary Beneficiary's power of appointment under such Article, notwithstanding
that such powers may have been previously exercised by the Primary Beneficiary. A suspension
or termination pursuant to this paragraph shall be effected by a written instrument signed by the
Independent Trustees of such Trust and delivered to the Primary Beneficiary prior to the Trust's
termination.
II
DM US 39479962-2.088835.0011
EFTA00607904
(2)
A postponement, suspension or termination pursuant to this section may
be made by the Independent Trustees only if they determine that there is a compelling reason
therefor, such as a serious illness or disability of such Primary Beneficiary, a pending divorce,
potential or pending creditor claims, potential tax disadvantage to such Primary Beneficiary or
his or her family, or similar substantial cause.
(K)
Power ofAppointment. The Independent Trustees, at any time, may grant
to the Settlor a limited power of appointment, which may be subject to such restrictions as such
Independent Trustees set forth in the instrument by which the power is granted, provided,
however, that (a) the effective date of the Settlor's exercise of any such power of appointment
shall not be prior to the date of the Settlor's death, (b) no such power may be exercised in favor
of the Settlor, the Settlor's estate, the Settlor's creditors or the creditors of the Settlor's estate and
(c) such power may only be exercisable over the principal portion of the Trust Fund and not over
separately accumulated income.
The grant of this power shall be effected by a written
instrument signed by a majority of the Independent Trustees and delivered to the Settlor, and
may be revoked at any time during the Settlor's lifetime by written instrument of revocation
signed by a majority of the Independent Trustees and delivered to the Settlor. If revoked, a new
power of appointment may be granted as provided in the preceding provisions of this section.
(L)
Exercise of Powers of Appointment.
With regard to any power of
appointment granted under this Trust Agreement that may be exercised by the Will of the holder
of the power, the Trustees may rely on any instrument purporting to be a certified copy of the
Will of the holder of the power. Commencing six (6) months after the death of the holder of the
power, the Trustees (if they have no actual notice of the existence of a purported will of the
holder that exercises such power) shall incur no personal liability for administering the Trust as
12
DM US 39479962-2.088835.0011
EFTA00607905
though the holder had not exercised the power. If the Will that exercises the power is
subsequently discovered, any disposition of the Trust property by the Trustees shall be without
prejudice to the rights of any appointee to recover the property from any Person to whom the
Trustees have paid assets of the Trust or from the Trustees (in their capacities as Trustees) to the
extent of any remaining Trust property.
V: ADDITIONS
(A)
General Provisions Regarding Additions. The Settlor or any other Person
may add property to any Trust (i) by lifetime transfers of additional property; (ii) by Will; (iii) by
naming the Trustees as beneficiaries of one or more life insurance policies; or (iv) by any other
means; provided that, except as otherwise provided in section (B), the Trustees, in their sole
discretion, may decline to accept all or any portion of the additions, and may, in their sole
discretion, accept conditional transfers or additions. If the Trustees agree to accept any
additions, they need not retain any property in the form received. The Trustees shall add any
property that they accept to the Trust designated by the donor, or failing such designation, this
property shall be allocated to the Trust held under Article II if the Settlor and/or LEON is then
living, or if neither the Settlor nor LEON is living, ratably to all Trusts then held under Article III
of this Trust Agreement. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, if in any year the Settlor
transfers any property to the Trustees during her life to which the Settlor does not allocate any
portion of her GST exemption (or if the Settlor has no remaining GST exemption), the Trustees
shall hold such property in a separate Trust held under Article II.
(B)
Pour-Over Additions From Related Trusts. (1) Notwithstanding the
provisions of section (A), the Trustees of a Trust shall accept any property that is directed to be
13
DM US 39479962-2.088835.0011
EFTA00607906
paid to such Trust under the provisions of the Settlor's Will or any Related Trust (a "Pour-
Over").
(2)
If a Pour-Over is directed to be made to a Trust under a particular Article
of this Trust Agreement to or for the benefit of an issue of the Senior and more than one such
Trust is then in existence, and the instrument or instructions governing the Pour-Over do not
otherwise specify, such Pour-Over shall be allocated among such Trusts in such amounts or
proportions, and to the exclusion of any one or more of them, as the Independent Trustees, in
their sole discretion, shall direct.
(3)
For purposes of this section, a Pour-Over to a Trust for the primary benefit
of an issue of the Settlor under this Trust Agreement shall be given effect even though such Trust
has yet to be created under this Trust Agreement or has previously terminated. In that event, the
Trustees shall accept such Pour-Over and administer it under the terms of this Trust Agreement
as though such Trust had previously been created or had never previously terminated, as the case
may be.
(4)
As used in this section, the term "Related Trust" means (i) a trust held
under a trust agreement created by the Senior during the Settlor's lifetime or under the Settlor's
Will, or (ii) a trust held under any successor instrument amending or restating one or more trusts
described in clause (i).
(C)
Additions as Principal. All receipts of a Trust through Additions shall be
characterized as principal for accounting purposes. The term "Addition" shall mean an addition
(other than a Pour-Over) made to the Trust under Article II by an individual by a transfer during
such individual's lifetime.

of that Trust to whom current distributions of income may be made, shall be made
at a reasonable rate of interest, and provided further that only the Independent

rate of interest;

as fully as if they were the absolute owners of such property;

her; and

individual's financial resources.
18
DM US 39479962-2.088835.0011
EFTA00607911
(D)
Exoneration of Third Parties. (1) No Person dealing with the Trustees
shall be bound to see to the application or disposition of cash or other property transferred to
them or to inquire into the authority for or propriety of any action by the Trustees.
(2)
Every Person contracting or otherwise dealing with the Trustees of a Trust
shall look only to the funds and property of such Trust for payment under such contract or
payment of any money that may become due or payable under any obligation arising under this
Trust Agreement, in whole or in part, and the Trustees shall not be individually liable therefor
even though the Trustees did not exempt themselves from individual liability when entering into
any contract, obligation or transaction in connection with or growing out of such Trust.
(E)
ConNolidation of Trust Property. The Trustees shall not be required to
segregate physically the property of multiple Trusts, but may, in their discretion, maintain any
part or all of the trust property of any two or more Trusts in one or more consolidated funds, in
which event the division of each such consolidated fund into the various shares or parts
comprising it need be made only on the Trustees' books of account.

Combination and Division of Trusts. (1) The Trustees may combine any
two or more Trusts having identical terms and identical beneficiaries and administer the
combined Trusts as a single Trust.
(2)
The Trustees may divide any Trust into two or more separate Trusts of
equal or unequal size, each having terms identical to the terms of the original Trust.
(3)

Trust shall be held in more than one Trust, then the Trustees shall determine which property then
allocated to or held in such Trust or share shall be allocated to each such separate Trust.
19
DM US 39479962-2.088835.0011
EFTA00607912
(G)
Powers Relating to Closely Held Business and Investment Interests. (1)
As to each and any Entity, public or private, in which the Trustees, as such, hold or acquire,
directly or indirectly, an equity interest, if the fair market value of such interest of the Trustees
when aggregated with the fair market value of the equity interests in such Entity of (i) the Settlor,
(ii) LEON and (iii) the trustees of all other trusts of which the Senior or LEON is the settlor,
exceeds one percent (1%) of the fair market value of such Entity, such Entity being hereinafter
referred to as "the Closely Held Entity," the Trustees are hereby authorized to retain the shares
thereof or interest therein for as long as they deem to be in the best interests of any Trust,
regardless of the fact that such shares or interest might produce no income, regardless of any
duty to diversify investments, and notwithstanding any other fiduciary obligation which might
require them to dispose of such shares or interest.
(2)
With respect to each and every Closely Held Entity, the Trustees of any
Trust are authorized, to the extent permitted by law, to exercise their rights and powers as
holders of the shares or other interests in such Closely Held Entity to effect its continued
operation, or the sale or other disposition of its assets or business, or, in their sole discretion, to
sell, exchange, offer for redemption, or otherwise dispose of the shares of or other interests in the
Closely Held Entity owned by any Trust, or to effect the liquidation or dissolution of the Closely
Held Entity, at such time or times and upon such terms and conditions as the Trustees, in their
sole discretion, shall determine.
(3)
The Trustees may participate in the management of any Closely Held
Entity to the extent that their interest therein permits. They are expressly authorized (without
limiting the generality of the foregoing), in their sole discretion, to select, vote for and remove
directors of the Closely Held Entity (if the Closely Held Entity is a corporation); to name or
20
DM US 39479962-2.088835.0011
EFTA00607913
change officers, managing personnel and/or operating personnel; to reduce, expand, limit or
otherwise change the Closely Held Entity's trade or business, or any property or investment that
it holds; to require surety bonds of employees and/or officers and specify the amount of such
bonds and the bonding company; to employ accountants or engineers to appraise or evaluate the
Closely Held Entity's business or assets; to employ investment or legal counsel, including any
firm with which a Trustee may be affiliated; to charge the costs of such services against the
interest in the Closely Held Entity owned by any Trust, or to require the Closely Held Entity to
pay such costs; to contribute additional working capital or to subscribe to additional stock as they
may see fit; and to take all steps and perform all acts which they shall deem necessary or
advisable in connection therewith.
(4)
Notwithstanding the provisions of the preceding subsection, the Trustees
shall not be bound or required to take part in the management of any Closely Held Entity. They
may delegate their managerial authority (including any authority to determine the payment or
non-payment of dividends or other distributions) to others, whether by means of employment
agreements or other arrangements, and they may enter into voting trusts and grant irrevocable
proxies, as they deem advisable. In the event of such delegation, the Trustees shall not be liable
for any act or omission by the directors or other Persons charged with such management, unless
they know or have reason to know of any act of dishonesty, misappropriation or misapplication
of moneys or other property on the part of such directors or other Persons. No Person having an
interest hereunder shall be entitled in any way to compel, control or forbid the exercise in any
particular manner of any voting or other right with regard to the Closely Held Entity which may
at any time be vested in the Trustees.
21
DM US 39479962-2.088835.0011
EFTA00607914
(5)
Any one or more of the Trustees may act as officer, partner, director,
manager or senior employee of the Closely Held Entity (each such capacity being hereinafter
referred to as a "Management Position"), and the Trustees are specifically authorized to
participate in the election or appointment of any Person or Persons, including themselves
(whether individually and/or as Trustees), to any Management Position. Any Trustee who serves
in a Management Position shall be entitled to receive compensation for such services
notwithstanding that the Trustees may themselves (whether individually and/or as Trustees) be in
a position to determine, or control the determination of, the amount of such compensation, and
no such Person shall be required to furnish any bond in connection with any such service in a
Management Position.
(6)
The Settlor is aware that conflicts of interest may arise by reason of a
Trustee's serving as such while simultaneously serving in a Management Position, or by reason
of a Trustee's owning or purchasing an interest in the Closely Held Entity in his, her or its own
right, and the Settlor intends that the Trustees shall, in all respects, be free to exercise the powers
and discretion herein conferred as fully and unrestrictedly as if there were no conflicting
interests. Consequently, the Trustees are hereby expressly exempted from the adverse operation
of any rule of law which might otherwise apply to them in the performance of their fiduciary
duties solely by reason of self-dealing or other conflict of interest ("conflict of interest rules").
In particular, the Trustees are authorized to enter into any transaction with any
Closely Held Entity that any Trust could enter into with any unrelated third Person, without
regard to any conflict of interest rule. The transactions described in the preceding sentence shall
include, without limitation, (i) the purchase of property from, sale of property to or exchange of
property with any Closely Held Entity and (ii) the borrowing of money or other property from or
22
DM US 39479962-2.088835.0011
EFTA00607915
lending of money or other property to any Closely Held Entity. The Trustees may employ, on
behalf of any Trust, agents, accountants, custodians, experts and legal or investment counsel who
may also perform comparable services for the Closely Held Entity or for any one or more of the
Trustees individually. In addition, any Trustee may purchase, sell, exchange or otherwise deal in
or dispose of shares of or interests in the Closely Held Entity for his, her or its own account
without regard to any conflict of interest rule, or any other rule that might otherwise require such
Trustee to first offer the opportunity to enter into that transaction to any Trust of which he, she or
it is a Trustee.
(7)
To the greatest extent permitted by law, no Trustee holding a Management
Position in a Closely Held Entity shall be required to account for the acts and proceedings of
such Closely Held Entity to any Person at any time interested in any Trust, regardless of whether
the interest of such Trust in such Closely Held Entity, alone or in conjunction with other trusts of
which such Trustee is a trustee, is a controlling interest.
(8)
For purposes of this section, (i) the Trustees will be deemed to hold an
interest in an Entity if they hold, as such, a direct or an indirect interest in such Entity, and (ii)
the Trustees will be deemed to hold an indirect interest in an Entity if they hold, as such, a direct
interest in another Entity that owns a direct or indirect interest in such Entity. The extent of such
indirect interest shall be measured by the multiplication of percentage interests through a chain
of Entities. For example, if the Trustees hold a direct interest in an Entity ("Entity A") the fair
market value of which constitutes fifty percent (50%) of the fair market value of Entity A and
Entity A owns a direct interest in another Entity ("Entity B") the fair market value of which
constitutes thirty percent (30%) of the fair market value of Entity B, such Trustees would be
23
DM US 39479962-2.088835.0011
EFTA00607916
deemed to hold an indirect interest in Entity B the fair market value of which constitutes fifteen
percent (15%) of the fair market value of Entity B.
(H)
Special Investments and Risk. The Trustees shall have broad latitude to
make and retain investments in real and personal property that are not ordinarily considered
suitable for fiduciaries under the usual fiduciary investment standards and that may be
speculative and involve unusual risks, including, without limitation, interests in any kind of
business venture or enterprise, real estate development, minerals, commodities, and natural
resources. The Trustees, at any time or from time to time as they deem advisable, in their sole
discretion, may initiate such investments on behalf of any Trust, even though there may be a risk
of loss to such Trust by reason thereof.
Any investment may (notwithstanding any law or rule of law making trustees'
powers non-delegable or any other law) take the form of the securities of a corporation, a general
or limited partnership interest, membership in a limited liability company, an interest in a joint
venture, a future interest in property, shares of beneficial interest in a business trust, or any other
form of investment, direct or indirect, even though there may be a limited market, or, in practice,
no effective market, for the disposition of such investment. To this end, the Senior authorizes
the Trustees of any Trust to enter into any such investments with the trustees of any other trust.
(I)
Term and Remainder Interests. The Trustees may make investments in
the form of term interests in property (the right to possess or to receive income from property for
a designated number of years or for the life of a designated individual) or in the form of
remainder interests in property (the right to receive property after the expiration of a preceding
interest in such property).
24
DM US 39479962-2.088835.0011
EFTA00607917
(J)
Advisors; Delegation. The Trustees are specifically authorized to rely on
the advice of investment counsel or other appropriate advisors (including any firm with which
any Trustee may be affiliated). They may, pursuant to a contract or contracts with an investment
counsel or other appropriate advisor, delegate all or a portion of their investment powers to such
investment counsel or other appropriate advisor (notwithstanding any law or rule of law making
trustees' powers non-delegable or any other law), and, if they do so, they shall not be liable for
losses incurred by reason of such delegation or incurred in acting or refraining from acting in
reliance on the advice of such investment counsel or other appropriate advisor except for their
own failure to exercise care, skill and caution in (i) selecting and periodically reviewing such
investment counsel or other appropriate advisor, (ii) establishing the scope and terms of the
delegation and (iii) controlling the overall cost by reason of the delegation.
(K)
Residential Property and Tangible Personal Property. (I) The powers
conferred by this section are in addition to, and not in limitation of, the powers set forth in the
preceding provisions of this Article.
(2)
The Trustees of any Trust may retain or purchase any residential property,
including residential property that is occupied or intended for occupancy by any one or more of
the beneficiaries of such Trust, and may develop or make improvements in or repairs to any
residential property owned by such Trust including residential property that is occupied or
intended for occupancy by any one or more of the beneficiaries of such Trust. In addition, the
Trustees of such Trust shall permit any one or more of the beneficiaries of such Trust to occupy
any residential property owned by the Trust upon such terms and conditions (as to the payment
of rent, repairs or otherwise) as the Independent Trustees of such Trust deem appropriate.
25
DM US 39479962-2.088835.0011
EFTA00607918
(3)
The Trustees of any Trust may retain or purchase any item of tangible
personal property, including tangible personal property for the use of any one or more of the
beneficiaries of such Trust, and shall permit any one or more of such beneficiaries to use any
such item of tangible personal property upon such terms and conditions (including any relating to
insurance and preservation) as the Independent Trustees of such Trust deem appropriate.
(4)
For purposes of this section, the beneficiaries of a Trust at any particular
time shall include only those Persons to whom current distributions from such Trust may be
made, and the term "residential property" shall include real property (together with buildings,
fixtures, and improvements thereon), interests in condominium units (including common areas),
and cooperative apartments (together with proprietary leases and shares of stock relating
thereto).
(L)
Senior's Power to Reacquire Trust Assets. The Settlor at any time or
from time to time may acquire or reacquire any portion of the Trust Fund of the Trust under
Article II by substituting therefor other property of an equivalent value, valued on the date of
substitution. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Trust Agreement, the Settlor may
exercise this power without the consent of the Trustees. Although this power is exercisable by
the Settlor in a non-fiduciary capacity without the consent of any of the Trustees, the Settlor
must certify in writing that the property substituted is of equivalent value to the property
acquired or reacquired. The Trustees have a fiduciary duty to confirm that the assets proposed to
be substituted are of equivalent value. If they believe that the property the Settlor seeks to
substitute for trust property is not in fact property of equivalent value, the Trustees shall seek a
determination by a court of competent jurisdiction to assure that the equivalent value
requirement of this section is satisfied. The Settlor, at any time, may release this power. Any
26
DM US 39479962-2.088835.0011
EFTA00607919
release under this section shall be irrevocable and shall be made by instrument in writing signed
by the Senior and delivered to each Trustee.
(M)
Settlor's Power to Borrow. The Settlor at any time or from time to time
may borrow any portion of the Trust Fund of the Trust under Article II. If the Settlor borrows
the Trust Fund, or any portion thereof, the Independent Trustees shall determine the rate of
interest to be charged, which rate shall not be less than a reasonable market rate of interest at the
time the loan is made, and shall determine whether or not the loan should be secured. The
Settlor, at any time, may release this power to borrow. Any release under this section shall be
irrevocable and shall be made by instrument in writing signed by the Senior and delivered to
each Trustee.
(N)
Self-Dealing. The Settlor authorizes fmancial transactions, both direct
and indirect, between the Trust held under Article II and any Trustee of such Trust with the
consent of LEON if LEON is then competent, and between a Trust held under Article III and any
Trustee of such Trust with the consent of the Primary Beneficiary of such Trust but only if the
Primary Beneficiary is competent and is at least thirty-five (35) years of age (including, without
limitation, purchases, sales and leases of property, loans, agreements, and employment and
compensation for services), notwithstanding any rule of law relating to self-dealing, provided
only that the interested Trustee act in good faith and that the consideration paid by the Trust or
by the Trustee be reasonable.
VII: RESTRICTIONS ON POWERS
Notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Trust Agreement:
(A)
Limitation on Settlor's Powers. No power granted to the Settlor under
any provision of this Trust Agreement shall be exercisable by the Settlor if the possession of
27
DM US 39479962-2.088835.0011
EFTA00607920
such power would result in the treatment of the Settlor's transfer of any property to the Trustees
as incomplete in whole or in part for gift tax purposes or would cause any property so transferred
to be included in the Settlor's gross estate for federal estate tax purposes except as provided in
Article IV(K).
(B)
Satisfaction of Legal Obligations. As to any Trust, neither the principal
nor the income of such Trust may be used to satisfy an enforceable legal obligation of any
individual other than an individual to whom, or for whose benefit, current distributions of the
Trust Fund of such Trust may be made.
(C)
Distributions to or for the Benefit of Trustees. (1) No Trustee shall
participate in a decision to distribute property for his or her benefit or to himself or herself in any
capacity whatsoever (other than (i) distributions that are mandatory under this Trust Agreement,
(ii) distributions for his or her health, education, support and maintenance and (iii) distributions
to trusts pursuant to Article IV(I), provided that the terms of such trusts do not give such Trustee
any greater interest in trust property than such Trustee has in the Trusts from which such
distributions were made and do not give the Trustees any power that would cause the property of
such trusts to be included in such Trustee's gross estate for estate tax purposes or in any other
Person's gross estate), including, but not limited to, the capacity as a custodian for the benefit of
his or her child under the Uniform Gifts to Minors Act or the Uniform Transfers to Minors Act
of any jurisdiction. Notwithstanding clause (ii) of this subsection, no Trustee shall participate in
a decision to distribute property from a Trust for his or her health, education, support or
maintenance if such power would result in any portion of the Trust Fund being subject to the
claims of such Trustee's creditors.
28
DM US 39479962-2.088835.0011
EFTA00607921
(2)
No Trustee shall participate in a decision to use the property of any Trust
in such a manner as to discharge any obligation of such Trustee, including, without limitation,
any obligation of support.
(D)
Modifications. No Trustee shall participate in a decision to modify the
terms of any Trust in such manner as would increase or decrease his or her powers over or
interests in such Trust. No Trustee shall participate in a decision to modify the terms of any
Trust in such manner as would or might increase his, her or its compensation from such Trust.
(E)
Change of Law. No Trustee shall participate in a decision to remove all
or part of the assets or change the situs of administration of any Trust from one jurisdiction to
another jurisdiction, or to elect that the law of any other jurisdiction shall govern any one or
more of the administration of a Trust, the construction of any terms of a Trust or the validity of
any Trust if such removal, change of situs or election (each a "Jurisdictional Change") would
have the effect of altering any beneficial interest under this Trust Agreement. For purposes of
this provision, the laws of a jurisdiction that permit trustees to appoint property in further trust
("Decanting Laws") shall not be taken into account, except to the extent that the Decanting Laws
of such jurisdiction would not permit the terms of any Trust or trust to which property of a Trust
is appointed to violate the rule against perpetuities applicable to such Trust or trust at the time of
such Jurisdictional Change. Only the Independent Trustees may participate in a Jurisdictional
Change decision if the Jurisdictional Change will result in any Trust or trust being subject to
Decanting Laws that are more broad than the Decanting Laws applicable to such Trust or trust
prior to the Jurisdictional Change decision.
(F)
Powers of Appointment. No holder of any power of appointment (other
than a power expressly exercisable in favor of the holder, the holder's estate, the holder's
29
DM US 39479962-2.088835.0011
EFTA00607922
creditors or the creditors of the holder's estate) shall exercise such power (i) in favor of himself
or herself,his or her estate, his or her creditors, or the creditors of his or her estate, (ii) in such
manner as to discharge any obligation of such Person, including, without limitation, any
obligation of support or (iii) in exchange for any consideration in money or money's worth,
including, but not limited to, an agreement by another Person to exercise a power of appointment
in the holder's favor.
Notwithstanding the previous sentence, the holder of a power of
appointment over the property in a Trust may exercise that power in favor of another trust if (a)
the holder's interest in such trust is no greater than his or her interest in such Trust and (b) the
holder's powers over such trust are no greater than his or her powers over such Trust. No holder
of any power of appointment shall exercise such power to create a trust or to appoint property to
the trustee or trustees of a trust if the duration of such trust could, by its terms, extend beyond the
Perpetuities Date.
(G)
Power to Remove Trustees. No Person shall exercise his or her power to
remove a Trustee of any Trust because of such Trustee's exercise or failure to exercise a power
which, if held by the Person exercising the removal power, would result in any portion of the
Trust Fund of such Trust being included in such Person's gross estate for federal estate tax
purposes.
VIII: IRREVOCABILITY; MODIFICATION
(A)
Irrevocable by Senior. This Trust Agreement and the Trusts may not be
altered, amended, revoked or terminated by the Settlor, in whole or in part.
(B)
Scope of Independent Trustees' Modification Power. (1) At any time or
from time to time during a Modification Period, the Independent Trustees, by unanimous consent
30
DM US 39479962-2.088835.0011
EFTA00607923
of all of the Independent Trustees, may modify the terms of this Trust Agreement and any of the
Trusts, provided, however, that no modification shall violate any of the following prohibitions:
(a)
No portion of the Trust Fund of any Trust may be paid to or applied for
the benefit of any individual other than a Beneficiary at any time while any Beneficiary is living,
except as provided in paragraph (c) of this subsection.
(b)
No portion of the Trust Fund of any Trust may be paid to or applied for
the benefit of any Entity other than a Permitted Entity at any time while any Beneficiary is
living.
(c)
Neither the Settlor nor the Senior's estate may ever be the recipient of any
portion of the Trust Fund of any Trust, if such portion of the Trust Fund is paid to the Settlor or
the Settlor's estate for less than fair market value, individually or as guardian, conservator,
committee, receiver, trustee, custodian under the Uniform Gifts to Minors Act or the Uniform
Transfers to Minors Act of any jurisdiction, or in any other capacity on behalf of any Person,
provided that the Settlor or the Settlor's estate may be the recipient of the Trust Fund of any
Trust to the extent that it is paid to the Settlor or the Settior's estate as reimbursement for any
income taxes paid by the Settlor or the Settior's estate as a result of any income of such Trust
being taxable to the Senior under § 671 of the Code provided that such reimbursement must be
made within one (1) year of such payment, and provided further that no such modification may
be made if the existence of the power to make this modification or if the making of this
modification would cause any portion of the Trust Fund of any Trust to be subject to the claims
of the Settlor's creditors or the creditors of the Senior's estate.
31
DM US 39479962-2.088835.0011
EFTA00607924
(d)
Neither the Settlor nor any Beneficiary may ever be authorized to remove
a Trustee except as provided under the provisions of Article X, which may not be amended
except to further restrict or eliminate such authority.
(e)
The date upon which any Trust terminates may not be later than the
Perpetuities Date.
The definitions of the terms "Beneficiary," "Beneficiaries," "issue,"
"Permitted Entity," "Permitted Trust," "Settlor's Children" and "Settlor's issue" may not be
changed. For purposes of this provision, the provisions of Article IV(C) shall be deemed to be
part of the definition of "issue."
(g)
The definition of the term "Perpetuities Date" may not be modified with
respect to any particular Trust if the power to effect such modification would itself violate the
rule against perpetuities applicable to such Trust at the time of such modification and may not be
modified in any manner that would violate the rule against perpetuities applicable to such Trust
at the time of such modification.
(h)
The definition of the terms "Independent Trustees" and "Related Person"
may not be modified except to add to the class of Trustees who are not Independent Trustees.
(i)
The provisions of section (A) may not be changed.
The provisions of this section (B) may not be changed, except to further
restrict the modification powers conferred upon the Independent Trustees.
(k)
The provisions of Article VII may not be changed, except to further
restrict the powers of the Trustees.
(2)
Notwithstanding subsection (1), no modification power may be
exercisable by the Independent Trustees if, or to the extent that, the possession of such power
32
DM US 39479962-2.088835.0011
EFTA00607925
would result in the treatment of any of the Settlor's transfers to the Trustees as incomplete for
federal gift tax purposes or would cause any property so transferred to be included in the
Settlor's gross estate for federal estate tax purposes.
(C)
Exercise of Modification Power. Any modification authorized by this
Article (i) shall be in writing, (ii) shall be signed and acknowledged by all of the Independent
Trustees, (iii) shall state the date upon which it is to become effective, which date shall not be
earlier than five (5) days after the date a copy of such writing has been delivered to the Settlor or
to LEON if the Settlor is not living or is under a disability, and (iv) shall be filed with the trust
records maintained by the Trustees. Any modification may be revoked by unanimous consent of
all of the Independent Trustees at any time prior to its effective date but only during a
Modification Period, and, unless such modification specifically provides that it is to be
irrevocable, at any time after its effective date during a Modification Period. Revocation of a
modification (i) shall be in writing, (ii) shall be signed and acknowledged by all of the
Independent Trustees then serving (whether or not they are the ones who made the modification),
(iii) shall state the date upon which it is to become effective, which date shall not be earlier than
the date a copy of such writing has been delivered to the Settlor or to LEON if the Settlor is not
living or is under a disability, and (iv) shall be filed with the trust records maintained by the
Trustees. A copy of each modification and revocation of modification shall be delivered to each
Trustee who is not an Independent Trustee.
(D)
Release or Suspension of Modification Power.
Even though the
Independent Trustees' power of modification under this Article is a fiduciary power, the
Independent Trustees may, at any time, completely (or partially) release the power or they may
suspend it for a specific period of time. Any such release or suspension (i) shall be effected in
33
DM US 39479962-2.088835.0011
EFTA00607926
the same manner as a revocation of a modification, as provided in section (C), (ii) shall be
irrevocable, and (iii) shall bind all Trustees serving at any time.
(E)
Administrative and Technical Modifications. Notwithstanding any other
provisions of this Article, the Trustees of any Trust (other than the Settlor) may modify the
administrative and technical provisions of such Trust at any time or from time to time as the
Trustees deem appropriate for the proper administration of such Trust, and the Independent
Trustees of any Trust may modify the provisions of Article IV(F) as it applies to such Trust at
any time or from time to time as the Independent Trustees deem appropriate taking into account
the best interests of the beneficiaries of such Trust or any one or more of them. The authority to
modify pursuant to this section may not be exercised in any manner that would alter any
beneficial interest in any Trust (except that a modification of Article IV(F) that might be deemed
to be an alteration of a beneficial interest may nevertheless be made) or that would disqualify any
Trust for an income or transfer tax deduction or exclusion for which it would otherwise qualify.
Any modification authorized by this section: (i) shall be in writing signed and acknowledged by
all of the Trustees (other than the Settlor) or Independent Trustees, as the case may be, of the
Trust to which such modification relates, (ii) shall state the time at which or the event upon
which the modification is to be effective and (iii) shall be filed with the trust records maintained
by the Trustees.
IX: ACCOUNTING BY TRUSTEES
(A)
Settlement of Accounts by Agreement. (I) The Trustees of any Trust
may from time to time settle their accounts with respect to such Trust by agreement with each
Interested Party who is legally competent and with the legally appointed guardian, conservator,
or similar fiduciary, however denominated in the jurisdiction appointed (in each case other than
34
DM US 39479962-2.088835.0011
EFTA00607927
the Settlor), of each Interested Party who is under a legal disability, or, in the case of an
Interested Party who is a minor, a parent of such minor who is not (i) the Settlor, (ii) a Trustee
whose accounts are being settled or (iii) a Person who is otherwise an Interested Party. For
purposes of the preceding sentence, the term "Interested Party" means, as to the accounts of the
Trustees for any period, a Person who would be a necessary party in a judicial proceeding for the
settlement of such accounts, after giving effect to the provisions of SCPA § 315 and section (E).
(2)
Such agreement shall bind all Persons, whether or not then living or under
a legal disability, then or thereafter entitled to any property of the Trust accounted for, whether
principal or income, and shall completely release and discharge the Trustees for the acts and
proceedings so accounted for.
(B)
Judicial Settlement of Accounts. The Trustees shall not be required to
render annual or periodic accounts to any court, whether or not required by statute. Nothing
contained in this Article shall preclude the Trustees from seeking a judicial settlement of their
accounts.
(C)
Cost of Accounting.
If a Trustee obtains a judicial or non-judicial
settlement of such Trustee's accounts with respect to a particular Trust, such Trustee shall pay
the costs and expenses of any such action, including, but not limited to, the compensation and
expenses of attorneys and guardians, from principal or income, or both, of the Trust as such
Trustee, in its sole discretion, determines.
(D)
Change of Beneficial Interest Prohibited. Notwithstanding any contrary
provision of this Article, no settlement of the Trustees' accounts by agreement shall release and
discharge the Trustees if an effect of such agreement is to enlarge the beneficial interest of any
35
DM US 39479962-2.088835.0011
EFTA00607928
Person under this Trust Agreement or to shift any beneficial interest under this Trust Agreement
as between Persons who hold such beneficial interests.
(E)
Service Upon Persons Under Disability. In any proceeding relating to the
Trust, service upon any "person under disability" as defined in SCPA § 103, shall not be
necessary when another Person who is a party to the proceeding has the same interest, whether
concurrent or successive, as the person under disability.

EFTA00607931
to any designee who has), by the Person or Persons then entitled to make a designation. Such

EFTA00607932
(5)
The power to remove a Trustee pursuant to this section shall be
exercisable by written notice of removal delivered to the Trustees and shall take effect upon the
date stated in the notice, whereupon all duties of the removed trustee shall cease, other than the
duties to account and to transfer and deliver all property then held in the Trust to each remaining

signing the written instrument required by section (G), and such Person is then an Independent
Trustee.

Agreement or any allocations of receipts or disbursements as between principal and income

Acceptance of Trusteeship. Before taking office as Trustee, each Person
other than the original Trustees shall accept the terms of this Trust Agreement and shall agree to
40
DM US 39479962-2.088835.0011
EFTA00607933
act as trustee under this Trust Agreement by signing a written instrument to that effect. A Person
shall be deemed to have taken office as a Trustee when he, she or it signs that instrument (but not
before his, her or its designation is to take effect by its terms).
(H)
Records of Trustees. Each instrument that designates a trustee under this
Trust Agreement, that revokes or amends such a designation, that signifies a Person's acceptance
of the office of trustee under this Trust Agreement, that removes a Trustee or that signifies a
Trustee's resignation shall be filed with the trust records maintained by the Trustees and a copy
of it shall be delivered to each co-Trustee, if any.

and delivered to each other Trustee.
(B)
Release or Suspension of Powers. Any Trustee, at any time or from time
to time, may release or suspend for a specified period of time any power conferred on such
Trustee under this Trust Agreement. Except as otherwise provided in Article VIII(D), such
release or suspension shall be irrevocable if the document by which the release or suspension is
effected states that it shall be irrevocable and shall bind all of such Trustee's successors if such
document states that it is intended to bind such successors. Any such release or suspension shall
41
DM US 39479962-2.088835.0011
EFTA00607934
be effected by written instrument signed by the Trustee making the release or suspension and
delivered to each other Trustee.
(C)
Majority Decisions. Except as otherwise provided, all decisions as to any
Trust authorized or required to be made hereunder by the Trustees or by the Independent
Trustees shall be made by a majority of the Trustees or Independent Trustees, as the case may
be, of such Trust, who are not precluded by law or this Trust Agreement from making the
decision and who have not declined to participate in the decision, but their ministerial duties
(such as signing of checks, execution of brokerage transactions relating to securities or
commodities, and execution of applications for life insurance) may be executed by any one
Trustee.
XII: LIABILITY AND INDEMNITY OF TRUSTEES
(A)
Limitation of Liability. Notwithstanding any contrary provision of law,
no Trustee, individually or as Trustee, nor his or her heirs, executors, administrators, successors
and assigns shall be liable, to any Person having an interest in any Trust, to any third party, or to
such Trust for any act taken or omitted in his or her capacity as Trustee unless such act or
omission was made in bad faith and with full knowledge that such act or omission constituted a
breach of his or her fiduciary obligations under this Trust Agreement. In particular, without
limiting the foregoing, no Trustee shall be liable to any Person having an interest in any Trust, to
any third party or to such Trust for any loss which may result from any investment of a character
authorized hereunder, or its retention, unless it can be affirmatively shown that in making or
retaining such investment such Trustee acted fraudulently in fact (as distinguished from any
imputed, constructive or assumed fraud) or in deliberate, willful and intentional disregard of the
interests of the beneficiaries of such Trust.
42
DM US 39479962-2.088835.0011
EFTA00607935
(B)
Indemnification. Each Trust shall indemnify each Trustee of such Trust,
individually and as Trustee, and his or her heirs, executors, administrators, successors and
assigns and hold each of them harmless from and against any loss, damage or expense (including
fees and disbursements for legal services) which they may suffer, sustain, incur or be called upon
to pay as a result of any action, proceeding, claim or demand being made or brought against
them by reason of or relating to any act or omission, investment, collection or disbursement by
the Trustees (other than an act or omission that is not protected from liability under section (A))
in connection with the administration, investment, or distribution of such Trust, and shall
discharge the obligations of such indemnity immediately as incurred by them, and shall pay to
them on demand the expenses incurred by them in connection with any such action, proceeding,
claim or demand in advance of their final disposition.
(C)
Retention of Counsel.
If any action, proceeding, claim or demand
("Claim") is asserted or brought by any Person against any Trustee of any Trust, such Trustee
may retain separate counsel (including any firm with which any Trustee is affiliated in any
capacity) or other professional advisers to defend against such Claim and may pay for such
services out of the income or principal of such Trust, but only until a court of competent
jurisdiction has determined that such Trustee is liable for an act or omission that is not protected
from liability under section (A) in connection with such Claim. If a court of competent
jurisdiction determines that such Trustee is liable for an act or omission that is not protected from
liability under section (A) in connection with such Claim, such Trustee shall repay the Trust for
all fees previously paid to such Trustee's separate counsel or other professional advisers to
defend against the Claim.

under a disability deliver to such individual written notice that such an inquiry has commenced.
The existence of a disability described in clause (iii) shall be determined by the Trustees other
than the individual whose disability is being determined, or if the individual whose disability is
being determined is the sole Trustee, by the next successor trustee or trustees under this Trust

Settlor's gross estate for federal estate tax purposes, or would result in any portion of the Trust
Fund of any Trust in existence at such individual's death being included in his or her gross estate
for federal estate tax purposes, or would result in any portion of the Trust Fund of any Trust in
existence at the death of a Beneficiary being included in his or her gross estate for federal estate
tax purposes, or (g) any individual whose possession of, exercise of, or failure to exercise any of
said powers (other than the power to modify section (E) of Article IV) and discretion would

individual for federal gift tax purposes at any time.
