ARTICLE V Trust Administration
Section 5.1 - Exercise of Discretionary Powers
Except as hereinbefore specifically provided, in connection with the exercise of a
discretionary power to distribute income or principal to any person, there shall be no requirement
to take into account such person's other income or capital resources, the interest of such person in
any other fund or the duty of anyone to support such person, although these factors may be taken
into account.
Section 5.2 - Discretionary Distributions
Any discretionary payment from any trust hereunder shall be charged against such
trust as a whole, and shall not be charged against the individual share of any person at any time.
Section 5.3 - Allocation of Assets
A.
For each distribution, partial distribution, allocation, or division of assets
into shares or trusts involving a fraction, my Trustee shall apply such fraction to the fair market
value of the relevant assets on the date of such distribution, allocation, or division, whichever
first occurs. My Trustee shall appropriately adjust such fraction to reflect the effect of any
partial distributions, allocations, or divisions, taking into account the fair market value as of the
date of distribution, allocation, or division, whichever first occurred, of the assets so distributed,
allocated, or divided.
B.
My Trustee shall value any assets distributed, allocated, or divided to
satisfy (in whole or in part) a pecuniary distribution at the fair market value of such assets on the
date of such distribution, allocation, or division, whichever first occurs.
-9-
EFTA00298550
Section 5.4 - Accounting Allocations
A.
Except as otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement and except as
provided in Paragraph B of this Section 5.4, my Trustee shall allocate receipts and disbursements
in accordance with sound trust accounting principles and has discretion to allocate receipts and
disbursements when, in the judgment of my Trustee, the treatment is uncertain under applicable
laws or generally accepted accounting principles.
B.
Except as otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement, my Trustee
shall not treat any part of the principal amount of the proceeds of sale of any asset of any trust as
income distributable to or for the benefit of any beneficiary entitled to distributions of income;
provided, however, that my Trustee shall treat a portion of any proceeds of sale of any financial
instrument originally issued or acquired at a discount equal to the amount which (1) has
previously been characterized as ordinary income for income tax purposes or (2) will be
characterized as ordinary income for income tax purposes in the year of such sale, as income for
trust accounting purposes.
Section 5.5 - Spendthrift Provision
During the term of any trust hereunder, no money or other assets (either principal
or income) payable or distributable under the provisions of this Agreement shall be pledged,
assigned, transferred, given, conveyed, hypothecated, sold, anticipated, charged, or encumbered
by any of the beneficiaries hereunder, nor shall the income and principal of any trust, while in
the possession of my Trustee, be liable for any debts, contracts, obligations, or undertakings of
such beneficiaries, voluntary or involuntary, or for any claims or judgments against any
beneficiary, including claims for alimony or for the support of any beneficiary's spouse or
children, or for reimbursement of a federal, state or local government, or any agency of any
federal, state, or local government, for the support of any beneficiary hereunder, prior to the time
such money or assets are actually paid or distributed to such beneficiary. Any attempted pledge,
assignment, transfer, gift, conveyance, hypothecation, anticipation, charge, or encumbrance of
-10-
EFTA00298551
any money or assets (either income or principal) payable or distributable under the provisions of
this Agreement by any of the beneficiaries hereunder prior to the time such money or assets are
actually paid or distributed to such beneficiary shall be null and void and shall not be recognized
by my Trustee. This Section 5.5 shall not apply to me.
Section 5.6 - Limitation on Distributions
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, no discretionary
distribution of income or principal of any trust hereunder shall be applied to pay for medical
care, residential facilities, or any other care or service that would otherwise be provided for any
beneficiary hereunder by any federal, state, or other governmental agency; and no such
discretionary distribution of income or principal shall be made for reimbursement for any such
care, facilities or services previously provided. Before making any discretionary payment to or
for the benefit of any such beneficiary hereunder, my Trustee shall consider the amounts such
beneficiary is or may be entitled to receive from any governmental agency for such care,
facilities, or services. If such amounts are available, discretionary distributions of income and
principal from any trust hereunder shall be made only to supplement such amounts, and to
provide liberally for needs and comforts over and above the basic maintenance, support, and
medical care that may be paid for by any such agency.
Section 5.7 - Division and Combination of Trusts
A.
For any administrative, tax or other purpose determined by my Trustee to
be in the best interests of any beneficiary (including any remainderman) hereunder, my Trustee
may at any time and from time to time (whether before or after funding), without approval of any
court, divide any trust under this Agreement into two or more separate trusts or combine two or
more trusts with substantially identical terms (whether or not such trusts resulted from division
of a prior trust).
EFTA00298552
B.
If property is directed to be added to any trust hereunder (the "Original
Trust"), whether by the terms of this Agreement, any other Agreement or the Will of any person,
my Trustee may hold such property as one or more separate trusts on terms identical to the terms
of the Original Trust. My Trustee may allocate such property among the separate trusts (if any)
into which the Original Trust was divided, whether or not pro-rata, using specific assets or
undivided interests therein (including allocation of all such property to one of such separate
trusts).
C.
Any time during the existence of separate trusts created by division of a
trust hereunder, my Trustee may exercise all discretionary powers differently with respect to the
separate trusts and take all other actions consistent with such trusts being separate entities.
Furthermore, the holder of any power of appointment with respect to such separate trusts may
exercise such power differently with respect to each such trust.
Section 5.8 - Consolidation of Trusts
If at any time after my death there is in existence a trust under my Will or any
trust agreement created by me having identical beneficiaries and substantially the same terms as
any trust under this Agreement, my Trustee may terminate the trust hereunder and transfer the
assets thereof to the Trustee of such other trust, to be administered by the Trustee thereof.
Different termination dates under the applicable Rule Against Perpetuities shall not be deemed a
difference in the terms of such trusts, but the portion of the trust representing the transferred
assets shall retain the same termination date as the original trust.
Section 5.9 - Termination of Trusts
Notwithstanding anything herein, any trust created hereunder for any person shall
(unless terminated earlier) terminate upon the day preceding the expiration of the maximum
period permitted under the United States Virgin Islands Rule Against Perpetuities, for the vesting
of an interest in a trust and upon such date the assets of such trust shall be distributed to such
person.
-12-
EFTA00298553
Section 5.10 - Equitable Adjustment
If my Trustee decides to exercise or not exercise any fiduciary power granted by
this Agreement or by law (including, without limitation, any election available to my Trustee)
and the exercise or nonexercise of such power confers a benefit on one beneficiary or class of
beneficiaries hereunder and imposes a detriment upon another beneficiary or class of
beneficiaries hereunder, my Trustee shall not attempt to restore the interests of the beneficiaries
or classes of beneficiaries to the position otherwise contemplated by this Agreement through
adjustment between income and principal or otherwise.
Section 5.11 - Lapsed Distribution
Except as otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement, a provision for
distribution to an individual who is not surviving at the date such individual otherwise becomes
eligible for such distribution shall lapse notwithstanding any law to the contrary.
Section 5.12 - Notice
Any notice required hereunder shall be delivered personally or sent by first class
or certified mail addressed to the last known address of the intended recipient.
Section 5.13 - Termination of Trust
An instrument in writing completely revoking this Agreement shall, without
more, upon delivery to my Trustee, completely terminate all of my Trustee's right, title, and
interest to any life insurance proceeds, death benefits, pension, profit sharing, or other retirement
benefits or any other assets otherwise payable to my Trustee.

Section 6.5 - Restrictions on Exercise of My Trustee's Powers
A.
Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, a
Trustee (other than me) shall not participate in a discretionary decision to exercise or not
exercise any fiduciary power to (1) distribute income from or principal of any trust hereunder to
himself or herself; or (2) distribute income from or principal of any trust hereunder for the
health, support, maintenance or education of a beneficiary if such Trustee has a legal obligation
-20-
EFTA00298561
to provide for the health, support, maintenance or education of such beneficiary from such
Trustee's personal assets. For purposes of this paragraph, a person whose interest in a trust
hereunder is limited to a remote contingent interest (for example, a contingent remainderman
whose interest depends upon another person failing to survive to a specified age or a person
designated to receive assets only in the event a power of appointment is not exercised) shall not
be treated as a person who is or may be a beneficiary of such trust.
B.

other Trustee (or Trustees) of such trust decline to participate in the decision to exercise or not
exercise any fiduciary power granted by this Agreement or by law.
C.
If a Trustee of any trust hereunder is not empowered (because of a conflict
of interest, declination to act or otherwise) to participate in the decision to exercise or not
exercise any fiduciary power granted by this Agreement or by law, then the remaining Trustee or
Trustees of such trust shall be empowered to make such decision. If no Trustee or successor
Trustee is empowered to participate in such decision, my Trustee may designate a substitute
Trustee to serve as Trustee of such trust who shall be empowered to make such decision but has
no other power or authority of the Trustee. Such designation shall be by written notice delivered
to such substitute Trustee.

from the date of filing of such certification, such individual Trustee shall be deemed to have
resigned for all purposes of this Agreement.
Section 7.4 - Vacancy in Office
If the sole Trustee dies or cannot or will not act as Trustee of any trust hereunder
and if no successor Trustee is designated pursuant to Section 7.1 who is willing to act, the legally
competent adult beneficiary (or a majority in beneficial interest of the legally competent adult
beneficiaries if there are multiple beneficiaries) then entitled or permitted to receive income from
such trust shall designate a successor Trustee by an instrument in writing delivered to the
designated Trustee. If the legally competent adult beneficiaries do not designate a successor
Trustee within sixty days after receipt of notice of such vacancy or if there is no legally
competent adult beneficiary of such trust, my Trustee shall designate a successor Trustee by
written notice delivered to the designated Trustee and each adult beneficiary then entitled or
permitted to receive income from such trust. If no successor Trustee is designated pursuant to
this Section 7.4, then a successor Trustee shall be named by order of a court of competent
jurisdiction. All of the fees and expenses of my Trustee (including attorneys' fees) attributable to
the appointment of a successor Trustee of a trust shall be paid from the assets of such trust.

trust hereunder for the manner in which my Trustee shall in good faith exercise any discretionary
authority or power of my Trustee. My Trustee shall not be liable for any loss or depreciation in
value occasioned by reason of any negligence, error or mistake of judgment in entering into any
transaction, in making any sale or investment, in continuing to hold any property, or by reason of
any action or omission, whether by my Trustee or any other fiduciary, unless my Trustee has
acted in bad faith. In the absence of proof by affirmative evidence to the contrary, each Trustee
shall be deemed to have acted within the scope of my Trustee's authority, to have exercised
reasonable care, diligence, and prudence and to have acted impartially as to all interested
persons. A Trustee shall not be liable for the acts or defaults of another Trustee.
ARTICLE VIII Miscellaneous Provisions
Section 8.1 - Representation of Person Under a Disability
To the extent allowed by law, where a party to any proceeding with respect to any
trust hereunder has the same interest as a person under a disability, legal process on the person
under a disability may be dispensed with.
Section 8.2 - Simultaneous Deaths
If a beneficiary under this Trust Agreement and I die simultaneously or under
such circumstances that it is difficult to determine who died first, then for all purposes of this
Agreement such beneficiary shall be deemed to have predeceased me.
Section 8.3 - Law Governing
This Agreement shall be construed under the laws of the United States Virgin
Islands. Each trust hereby created shall in all respects be regulated by the laws of the jurisdiction
in which such trust is situated, from time to time. If the situs of a trust cannot be determined
-23-
EFTA00298564
with certainty, then the laws of the Unites States Virgin Islands shall apply. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this Agreement, my Trustee of each trust created under this
Agreement has discretion at any time or times to transfer the situs of such trust to such other
country, or such other jurisdiction as my Trustee determines, without obtaining judicial
authorization or approval (unless such judicial authorization or approval is required by applicable
law) and without the filing of any bond. My Trustee's determination to transfer the situs of any
trust under this Agreement shall be evidenced by an instrument in writing signed, witnessed and
acknowledged by my Trustee in the same manner as would be required for a deed. My Trustee
is authorized to take whatever actions are necessary to effect a transfer of situs. If judicial
authorization or approval is required to effect a transfer of situs, I intend and desire that the
appropriate court accept the determination of my Trustee concerning the transfer of the situs of
such trust even if one or more beneficiaries disagree with such determination. From and after
my Trustee's transfer of the situs of a trust pursuant to this Section 8.3, the administration of such
trust shall be governed by the law of the new situs of such trust.
