THE CHOCOLATE CHARITABLE REMAINDER UNITRUST On this December 28, 2012, I, JEFFREY E. EPSTEIN, a resident of the U.S. Virgin Islands (the "Senior"), desiring to establish a charitable remainder unitrust within the meaning of § 4 of Rev. Proc. 2005-52 and § 664(dX2) and (3) of the Internal Revenue Code (the "Code"), hereby create the Chocolate Charitable Remainder Unitrust and designate Darren K. Indyke and Erika A. Kellerhals as the initial Trustees. ARTICLE ONE. FUNDING OF TRUST The Senior transfers to the Trustees the property described in Schedule A and the Trustees accept such property and agree to hold, manage, and distribute such property of the Trust under the terms set forth in this Trust instrument. ARTICLE TWO. PAYMENT OF UNITRUST AMOUNT 2.1. ANNUAL PAYMENT. In each taxable year of the Trust, the Trustees shall pay to Jeffrey E. Epstein (the "Recipient") during the Recipient's life, a unitrust amount equal to the lesser of (a) the Trust income for the taxable year, as defined in 26 U.S.C.A. § 643(b) and corresponding regulations; and (b) 12% of the net fair market value of the assets of the Trust valued as of the first day of each taxable year of the Trust (the "valuation date"). The unitrust amount for any year shall also include any amount of Trust income for such year that is in excess of the amount required to be distributed under (b) (above) to the extent that the aggregate of the amounts paid in prior years was less than the aggregate of the amounts computed as 12 % of the net fair market value of the Trust assets on the valuation dates. 2.2. EXCESS INCOME. The unitrust amount shall be paid in annual installments. Any income of the Trust for a taxable year in excess of the unitrust amount shall be added to principal. If for any year the net fair market value of the Trust assets is incorrectly determined, then within a reasonable period after the value is finally determined for federal tax purposes, the Trustees shall pay to the Recipient (in the case of an undervaluation) or receive from the Recipient (in the case of an overvaluation) an amount equal to the difference between the unitrust amount properly payable and the unitrust amount actually paid. ARTICLE THREE. PRORATION OF THE UNITRUST AMOUNT In determining the unitrust amount, the Trustees shall prorate the same on a daily basis for a short taxable year and for the taxable year ending with the Recipient's death. ARTICLE FOUR. DISTRIBUTION TO CHARITY Upon the death of the Recipient, the Trustees shall distribute all of the then principal and income of EFTA00313088 the Trust (other than any amount due the Recipient or the Recipient's estate under the provisions above) to J. Epstein Virgin Islands Foundation, Inc, a United States Virgin Islands not for profit corporation a/k/a Enhanced Education (the "Charitable Organization"). If the Charitable Organization is not an organization described in 26 U.S.C.A. §§ 170(c), 2055(a), and 2522(a) at the time when any principal or income of the Trust is to be distributed to it, then the Trustees shall distribute such principal or income to such one or more organizations described in §§ 170(c), 2055(a), and 2522(a) of the Code as the Trustees shall select in their sole discretion. ARTICLE FIVE. ADDITIONAL CONTRIBUTIONS If any additional contributions are made to the Trust after the initial contribution, the unitrust amount for the year in which the additional contribution is made shall be equal to the lesser of (a) the Trust income for the taxable year, as defined in § 643(b) of the Code and the corresponding regulations; and (b) 12% of the sum of (1) the net fair market value of the Trust assets as of the valuation date (excluding the assets so added and any income from, or appreciation on, such assets); and (2) that proportion of the fair market value of the assets so added that was excluded under (1) that the number of days in the period that begins with the date of contribution and ends with the earlier of the last day of the taxable year or the day of the Recipient's death bears to the number of days in the period that begins on the first day of such taxable year and ends with the earlier of the last day in such taxable year or the day of the Recipient's death. In the case where there is no valuation date after the time of contribution, the assets so added shall be valued as of the time of contribution. The unitrust amount for any such year shall also include any amount of Trust income for such year that is in excess of the amount required to be distributed under (b) above to the extent that the aggregate of the amounts paid in prior years was less than the aggregate of the amounts computed as 12% of the net fair market value of the Trust assets on the valuation dates. ARTICLE SIX. PROHIBITED TRANSACTIONS The Trustees shall make distributions at such time and in such manner as not to subject the Trust to tax under 26 U.S.C.A. § 4942. Except for the payment of the unitrust amount to the Recipient, the Trustees shall not engage in any act of self-dealing, as defined in 26 U.S.C.A. § 4941(d), and shall not make any taxable expenditures, as defined in 26 U.S.C.A. § 4945(d) The Trustees shall not make any investments that jeopardize the charitable purpose of the Trust, within the meaning of 26 U.S.C.A. § 4944 and the corresponding regulations, or retain any excess business holdings, within the meaning of 26 U.S.C.A. § 4943(c). ARTICLE SEVEN. TRUSTEES 7.1. NAMED TRUSTEES; SUCCESSOR TRUSTEES. There shall be two Trustees of the Trust. The initial Trustees shall be Darren K. Indyke and Erika A. Kellerhals. 7.2. SURETY BOND. No Trustee named in this instrument or successor Trustee shall be required to provide surety or other security on a bond. lf, notwithstanding the foregoing provision, a bond shall be required, no sureties shall be required on the bond. EFTA00313089 7.3. DELEGATION. Any co-Trustee may delegate any powers and authorities to another co- Trustee for any period that the delegating co-Trustee deems appropriate. A person dealing in good faith with any co-Trustee may rely without inquiry upon that co-Trustee's representation that a particular power or authority has been delegated and not rescinded. 7.4. _RESIGNATION. Any Trustee may resign by giving written notice specifying the effective date of the resignation to the co-Trustee hereunder, or if no co-Trustee remains, to the appointed successor Trustee hereunder, or if there is no person appointed as successor Trustee hereunder who is able or willing to serve as successor Trustee, to the Settlor. In the event that an initial or successor Trustee resigns or is unable or unwilling to serve as Trustee hereunder, and no other person has been appointed as a successor hereunder, or if appointed, no person appointed as a successor Trustee hereunder is able or willing to serve as Trustee hereunder, then the Settlor may appoint a successor co-Trustee to act in the place of the Trustee that has resigned or is unable or willing to serve as Trustee hereunder. Upon the incapacity or death of the Senior, the remaining Trustee may appoint any person, firm or corporation as successor co-Trustee. 7.5. REMOVAL AND REPLACEMENT OF TRUSTEES. Any Trustee or co-Trustee may be removed, with cause, by a court of proper jurisdiction. The title to the Trust Fund or the separate trust assets shall automatically also vest in any Successor Trustees or Successor Trustee, as the case may be. Subject to the foregoing appointment of a successor or replacement Trustee, the Settlor authorizes any Trustee named in this Trust Agreement or appointed pursuant to this Article to appoint, by an acknowledged written instrument, one or more successor Trustees and/or, in the event of a vacancy, a co-Trustee. This power to appoint shall be a continuing power that may be exercised any number of times and shall be exercised by unanimous vote. The appointment of successors by the Trustees named herein shall take precedence over appointments made by any other Trustees. 7.6. SUCCESSOR TRUSTEES. No successor Trustee shall be obliged to examine the accounts and actions of any previous Trustee. No successor Trustee shall be responsible in any way for any acts or omissions of any previous Trustee. 7.7. ACCOUNTING. The consent and approval of any accounting by any Trustee shall be binding and conclusive. Any Trustee may at any time and from time to time render an account of the Trustee's acts and transactions as such Trustee with respect to the income and principal of any trust created hereunder (from the date of the creation of such trust or from the date of the last previous account of the Trustee) to the Recipient. Such account may be rendered in any form acceptable to the co-Trustee. The Trustee shall have the power and authority on behalf of all persons interested in such trust, whether such interest relates to income or principal, to settle and adjust such account. Such settlement shall be final and conclusive upon all persons so interested in such trust and no Trustee shall be required to obtain judicial approval of such account so settled. Upon such settlement, the Trustee who rendered such account shall be fully and completely discharged and released from all further liability, responsibility and accountability for or with respect to the Trustee's acts and transactions as set forth in such account. Nothing herein, however, shall be construed as a limitation upon the right of the Trustee to seek judicial settlement of the Trustee's account, whether or not such account is so settled. EFTA00313090 The Trustees shall not be required to file annual accounts with any court or court official in any jurisdiction. In addition, pursuant to Section 1212, Title 15 of the Virgin Islands Code, the Senior hereby relieves the Trustees and any Successor Trustee of the requirements imposed by Chapter 59, Title 15 of the Virgin Islands Code, or any similar successor law respecting public filings of inventories and accountings by Trustees. Furthermore, pursuant to Section 1107, Title 15, of the Virgin Islands Code, the Senior hereby relieves the Trustees, to the extent allowable, from any and all duties, restrictions, and liabilities which would otherwise be imposed upon him by Chapter 57, Title 15, Virgin Islands Code. 7.8. NO COMPENSATION. No Trustee serving hereunder shall be entitled to any compensation for serving as Trustee hereunder; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that a Trustee shall be entitled to be reimbursed for properly documented reasonable expenses incurred in connection with the Trustee's actually acting as Trustee hereunder. 7.9. UNANIMOUS CONSENT. In all matters pertaining to the administration of this Trust, the unanimous consent of the co-Trustees or, in the event of a vacancy not yet filled, the consent of the sole Trustee, shall be all that is required for the approval of any action or the exercise of any power of appointment hereunder. ARTICLE EIGHT. LIABILITY AND HOLD HARMLESS 8.1. No Trustee shall be liable for any act or omission except for gross negligence, willful malfeasance or bad faith. 8.2. No Trustee shall be liable or responsible for the loss or depreciation of any security, investment or other property which may be received, purchased, made or retained by such Trustee in good faith in accordance with the provisions of this Trust, or with respect to any of the funds held by such Trustee hereunder, or for any loss incurred in any enterprise undertaken or participated in by such Trustee with respect to any of the funds held by such Trustee hereunder, or for any act, deed or loss, no matter how incurred, arising from any matter with respect to any of such funds, undertaken by such Trustee in good faith pursuant to the provisions of this Trust. 8.3. No person dealing with any Trustee acting hereunder shall have any duty to inquire into the propriety or validity of any action taken by any such Trustee, or be required to see to, or be liable for, the application of any money paid or property transferred or delivered to any such Trustee. 8.4. In addition to the powers granted by law, the Settlor grants to the Trustee and any successors thereto and co-Trustees hereunder the power to retain, so long as they deem advisable, and to acquire by purchase or otherwise, any kind of real property or personal property, including (without limitation) common stocks, interests in investment companies and discretionary common trust funds, undivided interests and secured and unsecured obligations -- all without diversification as to kind or amount; to sell for cash or on credit (at public or private sale) lease and mortgage, any kind of real or personal property; to distribute in kind or in money or partly in each, even if shares be composed differently; to hold property in the names of nominees or so that it will pass on delivery, and to leave property in the custody of a firm of stockbrokers and registered in the name of the EFTA00313091 stockbrokers' nominees; to engage and rely on investment counsel, accountants, appraisers and other experts and legal counsel and to compensate them; to employ custodians of the assets and bookkeepers and clerks and other assistants; and to borrow money for any purpose and continue any debt of mine.
