THIS AGREEMENT made as of the Z5Tit day of OCTO-fzee , 2013,
among LEON D. BLACK of the State of New York (hereinafter referred to as the
"Grantor"), and BARRY J. COHEN, RICHARD RESSLER, and JOHN J. HANNAN
(hereinafter along with any other person, bank or trust company qualifying as additional
or successor trustees, referred to as the "Trustees").
WITNESSETH:
This Agreement shall be known as the APO1 AGREEMENT.
The Grantor hereby transfers to the Trustees the property shown on
Schedule A annexed hereto, which property shall be held by the Trustees IN TRUST in
accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. Unless otherwise directed herein, or
in the documentation directing property to be held in trust under this Agreement, property
set aside in trust in accordance with this Agreement shall be governed by Clause FIRST.
FIRST:
DISCRETIONARY TRUST
All trust property directed to be disposed of under, or in accordance with,
this Clause FIRST shall be held by the Trustees IN TRUST (the "Discretionary Trust") in
accordance with the following provisions:
(A)
The Trustees shall pay so much of the income of the
Discretionary Trust as the Trustees may deem advisable from time to time, in equal or
unequal shares, to or for the use or benefit of one or more of the Grantor's wife DEBRA
(as defined in Clause THIRTEENTH) and the Grantor's descendants living from time to
time, in the Trustees' sole and absolute discretion. Any income not directed to be paid
for any year of the Discretionary Trust shall be accumulated by adding such income to
the principal of the Discretionary Trust.
EFTA00623208
Doer USI:10/50596v53
(B)
At any time and from time to time, the Trustees may pay so
much of the principal of the Discretionary Trust, in equal or unequal shares, to or for the
use or benefit of one or more of DEBRA and the Grantor's descendants living from time
to time, in the Trustees' sole and absolute discretion.
(C)
In lieu of making a distribution of income and/or principal
directly to one or more of the Grantor's descendants, as beneficiaries of the Discretionary
Trust, the Trustees may direct that such income and/or principal so distributed be
identified by the name of a particular descendant and (i) disposed of under Clause
SECOND, or (ii) paid to the Trustees of any "Other Trust" as authorized by paragraph
(D) of Clause FOURTH.
(D)
Unless sooner terminated pursuant to the foregoing
provisions of this Clause FIRST, the Discretionary Trust shall terminate upon the earlier
to occur of (i) the death of DEBRA and all of the Grantor's descendants, and (ii) the
expiration of the period set forth in Clause SIXTH.
SECOND:
SEPARATE TRUSTS FOR DESCENDANTS
All trust property directed to be held IN TRUST for a descendant of the
Grantor under or in accordance with this Clause SECOND shall be held in a separate
trust (a "Separate Trust") for the benefit of the descendant for whom such property was
set aside (each such descendant herein referred to as the "Beneficiary" with respect to his
or her Separate Trust), in accordance with the following provisions:
(A)
The Trustees shall pay to or apply for the use or benefit of
the Beneficiary and his or her descendants so much, including all, of the income of his or
her Separate Trust as the Trustees, in the Trustees' sole and absolute discretion, may
2
EFTA00623209
DecA: 11S1.8910596vS3
deem advisable from time to time. Any income of the Separate Trust not directed to be
paid for any year of the trust shall be accumulated by adding such income to the principal
of the Separate Trust.
(B)
The Trustees may, in the Trustees' sole and absolute
discretion, pay to or apply for the use or benefit of the Beneficiary and his or her
descendants so much, including all, of the principal of his or her Separate Trust as the
Trustees may deem advisable.
(C)
Upon the death of the Beneficiary, the remaining property
of his or her Separate Trust shall be disposed of as the Beneficiary may appoint by his or
her last Will duly admitted to probate, in favor of any one or more of the Grantor's
descendants; provided, however, that subject to the provisions of paragraph (D) of Clause
FIFTH, the Beneficiary may not appoint any such property in favor of himself or herself,
his or her estate, his or her creditors or the creditors of his or her estate. Any trust
property not effectively appointed by the Beneficiary pursuant to this paragraph shall be
divided, per stirpes, for the Beneficiary's then living descendants, or, if the Beneficiary
has no then living descendants, per stirpes, for the then living descendants of the
Beneficiary's nearest ancestor who is either the Grantor or a descendant of the Grantor,
and who has then living descendants, or if there be no such descendants, such property
shall be divided, per stirpes, for the Grantor's then living descendants; provided,
however, each share set aside hereunder (other than by exercise of a power of
appointment) for a descendant of the Grantor shall not vest in or be distributed to such
descendant, but instead shall be held in a Separate Trust for such descendant in
accordance with this Clause SECOND or if a Separate Trust shall already be in existence
3
EFTA00623210
DocN: USI;8950396vS3
for such descendant under this Clause SECOND, such share shall be added to such
Separate Trust.
(D)
Except as set forth in paragraph (E) of Clause FOURTH
and paragraph (D) of Clause FIFTH, all trust principal set aside for a descendant of the
Grantor and directed to be disposed of under or in accordance with this Clause SECOND
shall be held in a single Separate Trust for such descendant so that there shall be only one
Separate Trust for such descendant under this Clause SECOND.
(E)
The Grantor further authorizes and empowers the Trustees,
in the Trustees' sole and absolute discretion, to retain the trusts under this
Clause SECOND in one fund for the purpose of investment and reinvestment, crediting
each trust with its proportionate share of income, profits and appreciation in value, and
charging each trust with its proportionate share of expenses, losses and diminution in
value. This provision is solely for the purpose of convenience in administration and
nothing contained herein shall destroy the individual character of any trust or prevent the
release of principal funds upon the termination in whole or in part of any trust or the
making of discretionary payments from the income and/or principal of such trust.
THIRD:
MARITAL TRUST
Any property directed to be held in a separate trust created under this
Clause THIRD for DEBRA (the "Marital Trust") shall be disposed of in accordance with
the following provisions:
(A)
During the life of DEBRA, the Trustees shall pay to her all
of the income of the Marital Trust, at least quarter-annually.
4
EFTA00623211
Doan: USI:8950596v53
(B)
At any time and from time to time during the life of
DEBRA, the Trustees shall pay to or for the benefit of DEBRA so much, including all, of
the principal of the Marital Trust as the Trustees may deem advisable for her medical
needs and emergencies.
(C)
Upon the death of DEBRA, the remaining principal of the
Marital Trust shall be disposed of in accordance with Clause FIRST of this Agreement.
(D)
The Grantor confirms that his Executors have the absolute
discretion to determine whether and to what extent to 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 may determine to make said election or elections
with respect to all or any part or none of the Marital Trust created under this Clause, all in
the Executors' complete discretion. The Grantor suggests to his Executors 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 as to whether and to what extent to make said election shall be
absolute and conclusive, regardless of the personal interest any such 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
confirmed in this Clause.
5
EFTA00623212
Dotty: USI :8950596v53
(1)
The Grantor directs that any trust principal passing
under this Clause which the Grantor's Executors do not elect to qualify for the marital
deduction shall be held in a separate trust, apart from the principal of the trust under this
Clause for which an election is made by the Grantors' Executors to qualify for the marital
deduction. The Grantor further directs that any trust principal passing under this Clause
which the Grantor's Executors 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 trusts shall be administered under this Clause 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
pursuant to paragraph (B) of this Clause, the Trustees take into account all potential
transfer taxes.
(2)
Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the
contrary: (a) any power, duty or discretionary authority granted to 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 any trust created under
this Clause of all or any part of the tax benefit afforded by the marital deduction
provisions of Section 2056 of the Code (to the extent so elected by the Executors of the
Grantor's estate), and (b) in the event that any property not productive of income shall be
held in any Marital Trust under this Clause, upon DEBRA's written request, the Trustees
shall make such property productive of income or shall convert such property to income
producing property within a reasonable period of time.

EFTA00623213
boa: US! t$950596v$3
(3)
If any part of DEBRA's gross estate for Federal tax
purposes consists of property which is includible by reason of Section 2044 of the Code,
relating to certain property for which the marital deduction was allowed in the Grantor's
estate, the Executors of DEBRA's estate shall be entitled to recover from the Trustees of
the Marital Trust created under this Clause 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 which is not included in DEBRA's gross estate for Federal estate tax purposes.
FOURTH:
GUIDELINES AND LIMITATIONS
(A)
(1)
After taking into account the provisions of
paragraph (B) of Clause THIRD and paragraph (C) of this Clause FOURTH, in
exercising the discretionary powers granted to the Trustees to pay principal under any
trust created hereunder, the Trustees shall have absolute discretion and plenary power to
pay principal for any reason or purpose whatever, even to the extent of terminating a trust
by paying all of the principal at any one time. In paying principal, the Trustees need not
consider the other resources that may be available from any source to the beneficiary and
may pay principal without regard to the need of the beneficiary therefor. The Grantor
suggests to the Trustees, but only by way of illustration and without limiting their plenary
powers, that principal may be paid in the Trustees' discretion not only to enable a
beneficiary to meet the expenses of emergencies or illness or medical, dental or nursing
care, but also to make up deficiencies in income caused by inflation or changes in the
beneficiary's cost or style of living; because of the burdens of income or estate or gift or
generation-skipping transfer ("GST") taxation or changes in the tax laws; to enable a
7
EFTA00623214
Doti: MI:8950596O3
beneficiary to obtain the best possible education (including graduate and professional
training), to take advantage of a business, professional or investment opportunity, to
assume and meet family responsibilities, travel, acquire a dwelling (including a seasonal
dwelling or a cooperative apartment), or for any other reason whatsoever that the
Trustees may have at any time. The Grantor wishes to stress that the interest of the
remaindermen shall be secondary and subordinate to the well-being of the income
beneficiary or beneficiaries. The judgment of the Trustees as to whether, when and to
what extent to pay principal of any trust shall be absolute and conclusive and no court
shall have power under any statute to direct payment of principal to any beneficiary or
any creditor of a beneficiary.
(B)
In exercising the discretionary powers granted to the
Trustees with respect to the Discretionary Trust and each Separate Trust, after taking into
account the provisions of paragraph (C) of this Clause FOURTH, in determining whether
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 a beneficiary. The Trustees may at any time, in their sole and absolute
discretion, pay income and/or principal to any one of the eligible beneficiaries,
exclusively, or to any two or more of such beneficiaries in equal or unequal shares,
without regard to any prior payments that may have been made by the Trustees. The
determinations of the Trustees as to what extent and to whom to pay (or not pay) income
and principal at any time shall be conclusive.
(C)
In exercising the discretionary powers to pay income and/or
principal to a beneficiary of the Discretionary Trust or a Separate Trust, in addition to any
8
EFTA00623215
Doe: USI :8950596O3
other factors the Trustees deem appropriate, the Grantor requests, but does not direct or
require, that the Trustees consider the following factors:
(1)
Whether the beneficiary has taken appropriate steps
to educate and familiarize himself or herself regarding financial matters, asset
management and estate planning, and whether the beneficiary has reasonable access to
competent professional advisors.
(2)
Whether there is a Pending Matrimonial Action (as
defined in Clause THIRTEENTH) or Marital Discord (as defined in Clause
THIRTEENTH) with respect to the beneficiary.
(3)
The extent to which the beneficiary is indebted to
creditors, including former spouses, or otherwise involved in any litigation.
(4)
Whether the beneficiary is suffering from a
psychological or medical condition that may impair the beneficiary's emotional stability,
regardless of whether the beneficiary is seeking any treatment, either inpatient or
outpatient. The Trustees may consult with medical personnel as necessary to make the
determination.
(5)
Whether the beneficiary will use the distributed
funds to perpetuate a drug or alcohol problem or other negative addictive activities, such
as gambling.
(D)
Subject to Clause SIXTH, the Grantor specifically
authorizes the Independent Trustees who may participate in decisions with respect to
distributions from a trust created under any provision of this Agreement (the "Original
Trust"), in lieu of distributing income and/or principal to a beneficiary or beneficiaries of
9
EFTA00623216
Doe": L751:8950596v53
the Original Trust (the "Initial Class"), to pay, for any reason or purpose whatsoever, so
much, including all of such income and/or principal to one or more existing trusts or new
trusts to be created or established by any person (including the Trustees) at any time,
whether with the Trustees of the Original Trust or other trustees, for such beneficiary or
beneficiaries (an "Other Trust"), in such amounts or proportions, even to the exclusion of
one or more current or contingent beneficiaries of the Original Trust, as said Independent
Trustees, with absolute discretion, deem advisable, without notice to current or
contingent beneficiaries of the Original Trust and without court filings of any kind;
provided, however, no share of principal from an Original Trust with an inclusion ratio
(as defined in Section 2642(a)(1) of the Code) of greater than zero shall be added to an
Other Trust with an inclusion ratio of zero. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) no portion
of any Original Trust created for the benefit of DEBRA under Clause THIRD may be
paid to any Other Trust, and (ii) no portion of any Original Trust that would be a
"qualified subchapter S trust" (as defined in Section 1361(d)(3) of the Code) or an
"electing small business trust" (as defined in Section 1361(e)(1) of the Code) from and
forever after the time, if any, that such Original Trust first holds or is first entitled to
receive shares of stock of an S corporation (as defined in Section 1361(a) of the Code)
may be paid to an Other Trust unless such Other Trust also qualifies as a qualified
subchapter S trust or an electing small business trust. Such Other Trust (i) may include a
provision granting a power of appointment to a beneficiary of the Original Trust, which
power may be in favor of a broader or more limited class of permissible appointees than
any such power granted to such beneficiary under the Original Trust, and (ii) may permit
the payment of income and/or principal to beneficiaries who are not members of the
10
EFTA00623217
Doc/. USI .8950$96v53
Initial Class but only after the death of the last survivor of the members of the Initial
Class.
(E)
The Trustees are directed to divide property in any trust
under this Agreement with an inclusion ratio, as defined in Section 2642(a)(1) of the
Code of neither one nor zero into two separate trusts representing two fractional shares of
the property being divided, one to have an inclusion ratio of one (the "nonexempt trust")
and the other to have an inclusion ratio of zero (the "exempt trust"). Any such separate
trust shall have provisions identical to the trust so divided.
(1)
Without in any way limiting the authority and
discretion granted to the Trustees by any other provision of this Agreement, the Grantor
wishes to confirm that in exercising the discretionary powers granted to the Trustees to
pay principal to a beneficiary from each such separate trust, that the Trustees may pay
principal to such beneficiary exclusively from one of such separate trusts or in equal or
unequal shares from both of such separate trusts, without regard to any prior distributions
that have been made by the Trustees from such trust, even to the extent of terminating
either or both of such separate trusts.
(2)
No share of principal of any trust with an inclusion
ratio (as defined in Section 2642(a)(1) of the Code) greater than zero which is directed to
be continued in trust at the death of a beneficiary shall be added to a trust with an
inclusion ratio of zero.
(F)
The Independent Trustees (as defined in Clause
THIRTEENTH) shall have the power (but not the obligation), in their sole and absolute
discretion, to pay to the United States Treasury and any state or local taxing authority,
11
EFTA00623218
DocN: US1.89$0596v53
such amounts as the Grantor or the Grantor's legal representatives shall certify as being
required to discharge the Grantor's tax liability (including but not limited to Federal, state
or otherwise) in respect of income realized by the trust and not distributed to the Grantor.
The Grantor confirms that no payment under this paragraph shall exceed the difference
between (i) the Grantor's Federal and state income tax liability and (ii) the Grantor's
Federal and state income tax liability computed as if the trust is not a grantor trust under
Sections 671 et. seq. of the Code. The Grantor further confirms that there is no
understanding or pre-existing arrangement, express or implied, between the Grantor and
the Independent Trustees regarding the Independent Trustees' exercise of discretion
pursuant to this paragraph or Section 7-1.11 of the New York Estates, Powers and Trusts
Law. The provisions of this paragraph are intended to come within the safe harbor
provisions of Revenue Ruling 2004-64. Accordingly, the discretionary authority granted
to the Independent Trustees under this paragraph and under New York law should not
cause the value of the trust assets to be includible in the Grantor's gross estate. The
Grantor directs that no court shall have power under any statute to direct payment under
this paragraph. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this paragraph, the
Independent Trustees may at any time and from time to time release the power granted
under this paragraph. Such release may be for a limited period or under stated conditions
or indefuntely.
(G)
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the
Grantor directs that:
(1)
No Trustee hereunder shall have any power or
discretion, or be deemed to be a Trustee, with respect to payments, applications or
12
EFTA00623219
Dock USI1950596v53
allotments of income or principal 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,
application or allotment would constitute the discharge of any part of such Trustee's legal
support obligation.
(2)
Discretionary powers granted to the Trustees
hereunder with respect to payments, applications or allotments of the income and/or
principal of any trust hereunder ("the trust hereunder") to or for the use or benefit of any
beneficiary thereof shall be exercisable solely by the Trustees other than any Trustee (i)
who has a current beneficial interest in such trust, (ii) who has a beneficial interest in the
remainder of such trust hereunder 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
hereunder, 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.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if at any time there is no Trustee qualified and acting for
the purpose of exercising such discretionary powers other than a Trustee described in (i),
(ii), (iii) or (iv) of the preceding sentence, such powers shall nonetheless be exercisable
by all the Trustees (subject to any other provision of this Agreement restricting the
exercise of such powers), in their discretion, but solely for the support and maintenance
of such beneficiary in his or her accustomed standard of living and for his or her health
and education.
13
EFTA00623220
Dock USI:8950596v33
(3)
No person who may be serving at any time as a
Trustee shall have any right, power, control or incidents of ownership over any insurance
policy on such individual's life; if a trust acquires an interest in an insurance policy on
the life of a Trustee-beneficiary, the Independent Trustees shall exercise all such rights,
powers, control and incidents of ownership over such policy.
(H)
The Grantor hereby confirms that if any trust owns an
interest in a limited liability company, partnership, corporation or other business
arrangement, the Trustees shall be bound by the provisions of any operating agreement,
partnership agreement, shareholders' agreement or other agreement governing or
otherwise effecting such limited liability company, partnership, corporation other
business arrangement.
FIFTH:
POWERS OF APPOINTMENT
(A)
No testamentary powcr of appointment granted by the
provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed to have been exercised unless the donee of
the power specifically identifies the power in his or her Will and expressly exercises the
power. In the absence of such identification of the power and express exercise, the power
of appointment shall not be deemed to be exercised.
(B)
The donee of any power of appointment may appoint in
favor of one beneficiary exclusively, or in favor of two or more beneficiaries in equal or
unequal shares. In exercising the power, the donee may appoint outright or in trust and
may grant further powers to appoint, but no such further power of appointment may be
exercised to postpone the vesting of any interest or to suspend the power of alienation for
a period beyond that which is permitted by law as described in Clause SIXTH.
14
EFTA00623221
Moe: USI:3950596v53
Appointments in trust shall be administered by such Trustees or Trustee as the donee may
designate, subject to the management and investment powers granted by this Agreement
or such other and different management and investment powers that the donee may grant;
and the donee may direct that an appointed trust shall have a situs outside of New York
and shall be governed by the law of the appointed situs.
(C)
Notwithstanding any provisions to the contrary in this
Agreement: No donee of a power of appointment shall have the right to direct the
disposition of any trust property consisting of an insurance policy on the life of the donee.
(D)
Notwithstanding any provisions to the contrary in this
Agreement: the Independent Trustees are authorized and empowered to expand the
power of appointment granted under Clause SECOND as provided in this paragraph.
Such power of appointment, in the sole discretion of the Independent Trustees, may be
expanded so that such beneficiary may exercise a testamentary general power of
appointment (within the meaning of Section 2041 of the Code) over all or a part of the
trust to which the power relates (including a pecuniary sum). The scope of any such
expanded power of appointment may be as expansive or limited as the Independent
Trustees, in their sole and absolute discretion, may determine. Any power thus expanded
may be made exercisable by such beneficiary solely under his or her last Will duly
admitted to probate. If the Independent Trustees so expand any such power, the
Independent Trustees may revoke such expanded (general) power, may again expand the
power after a revocation, and in expanding any power, may make the exercise of such
expanded (general) power require the consent of the Independent Trustees then in office.
Without limiting the Independent Trustees' absolute discretion hereunder, it is anticipated
15
EFTA00623222
Dod: 1131:8950596vS3
that the Independent Trustees' authority under this paragraph will be used only if doing
so will reduce GST taxes more than it increases estate taxes, and otherwise does not
create an adverse result for the beneficiary's estate. If a power over a portion of any such
trust is expanded, such trust shall be divided into corresponding fractional shares
constituting separate trusts of which one shall be subject to the expanded (general) power
and the other not. The Independent Trustees are authorized to release irrevocably the
right to expand a power of appointment or revoke an expanded (general) power of
appointment and consent to the exercise of an expanded power by an acknowledged
instrument in writing. Nothing herein shall be construed as requiring the Independent
Trustees to expand the power of appointment granted to the beneficiary so he or she has a
general power of appointment. In the event that the Independent Trustees expand any
such power of appointment so that such beneficiary may exercise a general power of
appointment, that power shall be deemed to have been exercised only if such beneficiary
specifically identifies the power in his or her last Will duly admitted to probate and
expressly exercises the power, and in the absence of such identification of the power and
express exercise, said power of appointment (if any) shall be deemed to be unexercised.
Nothing herein shall be construed as granting the Independent Trustees the authority to
revoke any special (limited) power of appointment granted to the beneficiary of any trust
hereunder.
SIXTH:
RULE AGAINST PERPETUITIES
Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement: With respect to
each trust created under this Agreement and any Other Trust to which property of any
Original Trust is distributed pursuant to paragraph (I)) of Clause FOURTH of this
16
EFTA00623223
DocN: USI:8950596v53
Agreement, unless such trust shall earlier terminate pursuant to the provisions governing
the disposition of such trust, it shall terminate upon the expiration of twenty-one (21)
years after the death of the last survivor of DEBRA and the Grantor's children
BENJAMIN ELI BLACK, JOSHUA MAX BLACK, ALEXANDER SAMUEL BLACK,
and VICTORIA RACHEL BLACK. With respect to any trust created under Clause
FIRST, upon such termination the remaining principal of such trust shall pass, per stirpes,
to the then living descendants of the Grantor. With respect to any trust under Clause
SECOND, upon such termination the remaining principal of such trust shall pass to the
Beneficiary thereof. With respect to any Other Trust, upon such termination the
remaining principal of such trust shall be disposed of in accordance with the provisions of
the instrument governing such Other Trust.
SEVENTH:
POWER TO REACOUIRE
Except as otherwise provided below, the Grantor at any time or from time
to time may acquire or reacquire any portion of any trust hereunder by substituting
therefor other property of an equivalent value, valued on the date of substitution.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Grantor may exercise this
power without the consent of the Trustees. Although this power is exercisable by the
Grantor in a non-fiduciary capacity without the consent of any of the Trustees, the
Independent Trustees, if they believe that the property the Grantor seeks to substitute for
trust property is not in fact property of equivalent value, shall seek a determination by a
court of competent jurisdiction to assure that the equivalent value requirement of this
Clause is satisfied. If no Independent Trustee is then serving, upon the exercise of this
power by the Grantor, the Trustees shall appoint an Independent Trustee in accordance
17
EFTA00623224
USI:8930596v53
with subparagraph (C)(I) of Clause EIGHTH. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
Grantor may not exercise his power under this Clause in such a manner that may shift
benefits among the trust beneficiaries within the meaning of Revenue Ruling 2008-22
and Revenue Ruling 2011-28, and further may not exercise this power to acquire or
reacquire shares of voting stock of a controlled corporation (within the meaning of
Section 2036(b) of the Code). The Grantor may at any time and from time to time
release, in whole or in part, the powers retained by him under this Clause SEVENTH
with respect to any trust hereunder. Such release may be for a limited period or under
stated conditions or indefinitely. Such release shall be made by an instrument in writing
signed by the Grantor and delivered to the Trustees of the trust with respect to which the
release applies.

that each such child individually may exercise an equal fractional portion thereof) with
regard to all decisions and actions that they, as Trustees of the Discretionary Trust, are
authorized to undertake pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. If at any time only one
child of the Grantor is acting as a Trustee of the Discretionary Trust, such child shall
have one (1) vote with regard to all decisions and actions that such child, as Trustee of
the Discretionary Trust, is authorized to undertake pursuant to the terms of this
Agreement.

successor Trustee; provided, however, that such authority shall be effective if, and only
if, the Grantor appoints a successor Trustee (other than himself) who is not related or
subordinate to the Grantor within the meaning of Section 672(c) of the Code, and such
designated successor so qualifies as Trustee. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions
of this paragraph, the Grantor may not exercise the power to remove a Trustee because of
such Trustee's exercise or failure to exercise a power which, if held by the Grantor,
would result in any portion of the trust being included in the Grantor's gross estate for
Federal estate tax purposes. The Grantor may at any time release the powers granted
under this subparagraph (Q)(1).

each Beneficiary, upon attaining the age of forty (40) years, shall have the power to
remove a Trustee of his or her Separate Trust, with or without cause, by delivering a
signed written instrument to the Trustee being so removed and appointing a successor
Trustee; provided, however, that such authority shall be effective only if: (i) such
Beneficiary appoints a successor Trustee (other than himself) who is not related or
subordinate to him or her within the meaning of Section 672(c) of the Code (as amended
from time to time) and (ii) such successor qualifies as Trustee. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, no Beneficiary shall exercise his or her power to remove a Trustee because of
such Trustee's exercise or failure to exercise a power which, if held by such Beneficiary,
would result in any portion of the trust being included in his or her gross estate for
Federal estate tax purposes. Each Beneficiary may at any time release the powers
granted to him or her under this subparagraph (Q)(2).

Subject to subparagraph (R)(2) of this Clause
EIGHTH, no individual may receive compensation for his or her services as Trustee of
the Discretionary Trust, the Marital Trust and/or any Separate Trust (but shall
nevertheless be entitled to reimbursement for reasonable expenses incurred in connection
with the administration of any trust created hereunder).
(2)
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if, within thirty (30)
days of a trust's fiscal year end, an individual (other than any beneficiary hereunder)
serving as Trustee hereunder files with the Grantor, or if the Grantor is Incapacitated or is
not living, with the other acting Trustees, a written notice whereby such individual elects
24
EFTA00623231
DocN: US11950596v53
to receive compensation for his services as Trustee for the trust's forthcoming fiscal year,
such individual shall be compensated in the following manner:
(a)
Any individual (other than any beneficiary
hereunder) serving as Trustee of the Discretionary Trust, the Marital Trust and/or any
Separate Trust, for his or her collective services as Trustee of such trusts and of any other
trusts created by the Grantor, shall be entitled to receive, in the aggregate, compensation
equal to the lesser of (i) one-third (1/3) of the annual 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 prorated for any partial year and as
adjusted to reflect the increase (but not the decrease), if any, in the cost of living during
the period between January 2013 and the first day of each taxable year of the trust.
(b)
The foregoing increases in the cost of living,
if any, shall be measured by reference to the percent change in the Consumer Price Index
for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U) — the "all items" expenditure category, not seasonally
adjusted — as published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the United States Department
of Labor (the "Index"), or if the Index is discontinued, such other generally recognized
inflation index as the Trustees, in their discretion, select.
(c)
The individual Trustees shall not be entitled
to paying commissions.
(3)
The Grantor confirms that no beneficiary hereunder
(including, without limitation, DEBRA with respect to the Marital Trust, DEBRA and the
Grantor's children with respect to the Discretionary Trust, and the Beneficiary with
25
EFTA00623232
Docit US I :1950596v53
respect to any Separate Trust) shall be entitled to receive any compensation, by way of
commissions or otherwise, for acting as a Trustee hereunder (but shall nevertheless be
entitled to reimbursement for reasonable expenses incurred in connection with the
administration of such trust). The qualification of any beneficiary hereunder so to act as
a Trustee shall be deemed a waiver of any right to commission or other compensation.
(4)
The qualification of any individual as Trustee shall
be deemed an acceptance of the foregoing provisions.
NINTH:
TRUSTEE POWERS
In addition to the powers granted by law and by any other provision of this

administering the trusts that they deem advisable, to the full extent that an individual

investment advisor or performs custody or any other services, in which case such
corporate Trustee or affiliate may be compensated for such services in addition to the
compensation of such corporate Trustee as a fiduciary hereunder), common trust funds,
and property which is outside of New York or the United States -- all without
26
EFTA00623233
Dot": US1:8950$96v53
diversification as to kind or amount, and without being limited to investments authorized
by law for the investment of trust funds. 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. The Trustees arc specifically authorized to retain, or to purchase and
retain, any real property or personal property in any trust hereunder, for the use,
possession or enjoyment of any beneficiary of such trust and to utilize the income and
principal of any such trust for purposes of maintaining the same, including without
limitation, for payment of all taxes, assessments, expense of fuel, gas and electricity,
water rents and all expenses of maintenance, cleaning, framing, restoration and repair.
The Trustees shall not incur any liability or accountability for the loss, destruction,
impairment, deterioration, waste, damage or injury to any such property. The Trustees
are specifically authorized to continue to hold such property even though such property
shall fail to appreciate or shall depreciate in value.
(B)

at any time held hereunder in the name of nominee or nominees, or in the name of any

securities unregistered or in such condition that tide thereto will pass by delivery.

restrictions or the probable duration of any trust, 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 do everything with respect to interests in any property that any individual

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 beneficiary resides (other than a donor of such trust) and/or by payments
in discharge of the beneficiary's bills — all without regard to other resources of the
beneficiary, without the intervention of any guardian or committee or like fiduciary, and

employed shall be a Trustee hereunder or shall be an affiliate of a Trustee hereunder and
irrespective of whether any firm or entity so employed shall be one in which a Trustee
hereunder shall be a partner, stockholder, director, officer, member or affiliate or shall
have any interest (and in the case of any affiliated securities broker, such broker is hereby
authorized to act as the counterparty in riskless principal transactions with any trust
hereunder and, if such affiliated broker is a specialist or market-maker with respect to one
or more particular securities, otherwise to purchase from or sell to any trust hereunder
any of such securities at the then prevailing market price), to delegate to investment
counsel the power to make investment determinations hereunder, including without
limitation determinations as to the acquisition, retention or disposition of any asset or
assets, by purchase, sale or otherwise, and to pay the usual compensation for any of the

compensation (including without limitation any fees charged or compensation paid by
any mutual fund or other management type investment company or trust for services
rendered by any Trustee or affiliate of a Trustee hereunder acting as investment advisor,
custodian, transfer agent, registrar, sponsor, distributor, manager or other provider of
services to such entity) may be paid without diminution of or charging the same against
the commissions or compensation of any Trustee hereunder; and any Trustee who shall

the order or approval of any court, such sums of money at any time and from time to time
for such periods of time upon such terms and conditions from such persons or

as may be deemed advisable, and to secure such loans by the pledge or hypothecation of
any property held hereunder; and the lender shall have no obligation to inquire as to the
application of the sums loaned or as to the necessity, expediency or propriety of the loan.
(J)
To make loans to any beneficiary who is currently eligible
to receive income from a trust and to entities in which a trust hereunder has an interest for
any purpose which in the opinion of the Trustees will benefit the beneficiaries or
facilitate the administration of any trust hereunder, in such amounts, for such periods and
upon such terms, with or without interest (but only if the loan is to a beneficiary), with or
without security, or to pledge trust property for loans made to such beneficiaries and
entities from any source, all as the Trustees may determine in the Trustees' sole and
absolute discretion. The Grantor directs, however, that only those Trustees who may
participate in decisions with respect to distributions shall have the right to participate in
any decision to make such loans.

of any trust hereunder.
(L)
To invest, maintain and continue an interest or investment
in any business or venture or entity for such period as the Trustees may deem advisable,
in the most advantageous form, as the Trustees may determine from time to time.
Without limiting the scope of their authority and only by way of illustration, the Grantor
directs that The Trustees are authorized to invest additional trust assets in, and lend trust
assets to, and to guarantee the obligations of, and to pledge trust assets to secure the
obligations of, any such business or venture or entity, upon such terms as the Trustees
deem advisable. The Trustees are authorized to incorporate any business or venture, to
reorganize and recapitalize any incorporated business and issue new shares of stock, upon
such terms and conditions as the Trustees deem advisable; to liquidate any such
corporation in whole or in part; to organize subsidiaries and parent holding companies of
any such corporation; and to merge or consolidate any such corporation with any other
corporation. The Trustees are authorized to conduct any such business or venture in
partnership form (as general or limited partners) or as a limited liability company
(whether as managers or members), upon such terms and conditions as they may deem
advisable. The Trustees arc authorized to serve as officers, directors, employees or
agents of any such business or venture or entity and to receive compensation for their
services, in addition to their commissions as Trustees 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
31
EFTA00623238
Doc#: USI:8950396v53
advisable. In general the Trustees are authorized to do everything in respect of the
conduct of any such business or venture or entity that any individual could do. If any
such Trustee is personally interested in the business or venture or entity, such Trustee
shall not be bound or responsible under the usual rules concerning divided loyalty and
self-dealing. In their accounting 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.
(M)
To remove, transfer or deposit any of the personal property
forming part of any of the trusts to any place in the world as the Trustees may deem

beneficiaries.

any nature which may be granted to or exercisable by the holders of any property which
forms a part of the trust or sell any subscription or other rights or allow any such rights to
expire or lapse.

To enter into voting trusts and use and rely on proxies and
committees in respect of corporate matters; to assent to or participate in any
reorganization, readjustment, consolidation, merger, dissolution, sale or purchase of

The Grantor intends that the Trustees may retain such stock or interest for such period as
they deem advisable — all in their sole and absolute discretion and without regard to
rules concerning diversification of investments or theories or principles of investment for
fiduciaries. In exercising their discretion, the Trustees shall be free to act without regard
to any personal holdings they may have in said corporation, limited liability company,
partnership or enterprise or the affiliation or association of any nature which they may
have to said corporation, limited liability company, partnership or enterprise. It is the
Grantor's intention that the Trustees shall be free to exercise their judgment without
regard to the usual rules concerning divided loyalty or self-dealing. The Grantor hereby
confirms that, notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this paragraph, in all cases, the
Trustees must exercise reasonable care, diligence and prudence.
(Q)
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,

manner.
(R)
To allow one or more beneficiaries to use, possess, enjoy or
occupy any residential property or personal property owned by the Trust to the exclusion
of any one or more or all of the other beneficiaries, whether or not such beneficiary is
charged rent. The Grantor directs, however, that only the Independent Trustees who may
participate in decisions with respect to distributions shall have the right to participate in
any decision to allow a beneficiary to use, possess, enjoy or occupy any residential
property or personal property rent-free or at a below-market rent.

limitation) to enter into any agreements with underwriters, and with the corporation
securities of which are being sold, which they shall deem advisable, to make such
representations and warranties, assume such obligations and engage in such undertakings
of indemnity as they may deem 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 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,
34
EFTA00623241
Dad: US1:8950$96v53
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.
TENTH:
ACCOUNTING
The Trustees may, at any time and from time to time, render an accounting
to the persons to whom trust income may be paid who have attained twenty-one (21)
years of age, and to the persons who have attained said age who would be entitled to
principal if the trust then ended and if no power of appointment is exercised. Such
accounting (but only if accompanied by notice of the provisions of this Clause TENTH)
shall be deemed a final accounting unless within ninety (90) days from the service of
such notice one or more of the persons to whom the accounting must be presented under
this Clause TENTH shall have mailed by registered mail to the Trustees a written
statement specifying objections to such accounting. If any person entitled to an
accounting is a minor, the accounting may be rendered to such person's guardian, other
than the Grantor and any person who is a Trustee of the trust. If the Trustees shall
comply with the provisions of this Clause TENTH, such account shall be binding and
conclusive upon all persons who may be interested in the trust for the period covered by
the accounting, without the necessity of any proceedings in any court which might have
jurisdiction over such trust. Nothing may be done under this provision which would
enlarge or shift any beneficial interest.

ELEVENTH: TRUST ADDITIONS
The Trustees are empowered to receive additional property (whether real
or personal, tangible or intangible) which is transferred to the Trustees at any time or
bequeathed to the Trustees at any time by the Grantor or any other person, subject to such
terms and conditions as may be specified in any instrument or Will under which such
property is transferred or bequeathed or made payable to the Trustees, provided however,
that no such terms and conditions may unreasonably increase the duties of the Trustees
without their written consent. Unless otherwise specified in any instrument or Will under
which such property is transferred or bequeathed or made payable to the Trustees, all
such property shall be added to the principal of the trust created under Clause FIRST.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Grantor is not then living but DEBRA is then living
and such property consists of a remainder interest in a grantor retained annuity trust that
became payable after the Grantor's death, such remainder interest shall be disposed of as
directed in Clause THIRD.
TWELFTH:
IRREVOCABILITY
The Grantor declares that this Agreement is irrevocable and neither this
Agreement nor the trusts hereby created may be amended. The Independent Trustees,
however, shall have the power to amend the administrative provisions of the trust at any
time. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Independent Trustees may not amend the
administrative provisions of the trust in a fashion that may shift or otherwise affect the
beneficial interests of the beneficiaries, expose the trust property to the claims of the
Grantor's creditors or otherwise expose the trust property to estate tax upon the death of
the Grantor.

his own and as a permissible beneficiary and/or appointee hereunder, by specific

Trustees, and (0 the descendants of any child so defined, provided that, at each
subsequent generational level, the foregoing premises set forth in clauses (a), (b), (c), (d),

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 FOURTEENTH to change the situs and governing jurisdiction of a trust or
trusts under this Agreement, they may initiate such judicial proceedings (if any) as they

FIFTEENTH:
PROVISIONS FOR MINORS
Notwithstanding any of the foregoing provisions of this Agreement: A
share of principal which becomes distributable to a minor at the termination of trust shall
vest in the minor, but the Trustees may, in the Trustees' sole and absolute discretion,
retain the share for as long as the Trustees deem advisable during such minority for the
minor's benefit, without giving bond. The provisions of this Clause are intended to
create a power during minority to manage property vested in an infant and shall not
impair the absolute vesting of principal in such minor. The donees of this power may
pay, apply and/or accumulate so much of the income of such share and may pay or apply
so much of the principal of such share, as the donees may deem advisable from time to
time for the minor. The donees of this power shall have all the powers granted by law
and all the powers granted by this Agreement to the Trustees. When such minor attains
twenty-one (21) years, the then remaining principal (including accumulated income) of
such share shall be delivered to such minor or if such minor dies before attaining twenty-
one (21) years, such principal shall be delivered on the minor's death to his or her
Executor or Administrator. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing provisions of this
Clause, the donees of this power may, at any time and from time to time, distribute any
part or all of the minor's share, on behalf of the minor, to any person with whom the
minor may reside, or a parent of the minor, or a custodian for the minor under the
Uniform Gifts to Minors Act, the Uniform Transfers to Minors Act or similar Act. Such
distribution shall be made without bond, without the intervention of a guardian of the
minor and without having to see to the application of the distribution, and the receipt of
the person to whom distribution is so made shall be a complete discharge of the donee of
40
EFTA00623247
Coca: USI:8950596v53
the power in respect of such share. If the donees of the power determine to make
distribution to a custodian for the minor, the donees may select any eligible person or
trust company to serve as the custodian, including one or more of the donees. As used in
this Clause, the term "minor" shall refer to an individual who is under the age of twenty-
one (21) years, notwithstanding any statute or rule of law to the contrary.
SIXTEENTH:
TRUSTEE EXCULPATION AND
EXONERATION
(A)
In the event a legal action is brought against any individual
serving as the Trustee of any trust under this Agreement, all legal fees and related
expenses incurred in connection with the defense of such legal action shall be paid by
such trust without court authorization; provided, however, that (a) no such payment shall
(or shall continue to) be made if a court enters an order prohibiting such payment, and (b)
such Trustee shall refund to the trust any such payments that previously had been made if
a court enters an order directing that such payments be refunded, or if a court concludes
that 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.
(B)
No individual who is serving as Trustee shall be liable for
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
such Trustee has not 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. The individuals who are serving as Trustees and each
individual who is a former Trustee shall be entitled to be indemnified out of the Mist

assets against all expenses, liabilities, damages or losses, including (but not limited to)

and for serving as director or officer of any company, partnership or other entity whose
