benefit of the Grantor, his creditors, his estate or the creditors of his estate, except as specifically

authorized by the terms of this Trust Agreement.

ARTICLE 14: With respect to the tax on generation-skipping transfers (the GST), set

forth in chapter 13 of the Code, the Grantor grants the following powers to the Trustee:

A. The power to divide property being held hereunder with an inclusion ration,

as defined in Code Section 2642 (a)(1), of neither one (1) nor zero (0) into two or more separate


16/28

Angela DeVarso

16

Trusts representing fractional shares of the property being divided, with one or more of said

shares having inclusion ratio of zero (0) and the other share or shares having an inclusion ratio of

one (1).

B. If the Grantors Executors exercise the power to make the reverse election

for qualified terminable interest property under Code Section 2652 (a)(3) as to the Trust and

allocation of the Grantors GST exemption is made to the Trust property, the Trustee may in her

sole discretion set apart a fraction share of the Trust property in a separate trust to cause its

inclusion ration to be zero (0).

different transferors.

D. The Trustee, other than any beneficiary, is authorize in her sole discretion

with respect to all or any part of the Trust principal, by an instrument filed with the Trust records

(1) to create in a beneficiary, a general power of appointment within the meaning of Code

Section 2041, including a power the exercise of which requires the consent of the Trustee other

than abeneficiary, that may dispose of the property upon the beneficiarys death; (2) to eliminate

such power for all or any part of such principal as to which such power was previously created;

(3) to irrevocable release the right to create or eliminate such power; and (4) to divide the Trust

principal into two fractional shares based upon the then portion of the Trust that would be

includable in the gross estate of the beneficiary holding such power if he or she died immediately

before such division (in which case the power shall be over the entire principal of one share and

over no part of the other share) and each such share shall be administered as a separate Trust

unless the Trustee, other than any beneficiary, shall in her sole discretion thereafter combine


17/28

Angela DeVarso

17

such separate Trust into a single Trust which she is hereby authorized to do. It is the Grantors

hope, but he does not direct, that a general power will be created and kept in effect when the

Trustee, other than any beneficiary, believes the inclusion of the property affected thereby in the

beneficiarys gross estate may achieve a significant savings in transfer taxes by having an estate

tax rather than a Chapter 13 tax imposed on property subject to the general power, which may

also permit a greater use of the GST exemption under code Section 2631(a) of the beneficiary or

beneficiarys spouse.

ARTICLE 15: The Grantor hereby relieves the insurance companies which issued the

insurance policies described in the annexed Schedule A, and any other insurance company which

issues any life insurance policies deposited with the Trustee hereafter and/or which become

performance of the terms and conditions of this Trust.

insurance policy on the Grantor or any other person. The Trustee shall also not be required to

seek contributions toward required premium payments.

is otherwise unable to act as Trustee the Grantor appoints ____________ and _______________

or the survivor of them, to be co-Trustees, to serve in __________ place, with all those powers

and subject to all of the terms and conditions herein set forth.


18/28

B. Notwithstanding anything herein contained to the contrary, no

Trustee shall participate in any decision regarding the discretionary distribution of income or

principal to a child (or other beneficiary) to whom he or she may owe a legal obligation of

no co-Trustee, then the successor Trustee appointed hereunder, shall make such decisions.

C. No bond shall be required of the Trustee, or any successor Trustee, in

any jurisdiction.

D. No Trustee shall be disqualified from serving as Trustee, or from

E. The trustee shall keep records showing all receipts of principal and

income, disbursements, charges of commissions, and all investment activity available for

inspection by Trust beneficiaries or their authorized representatives. These records shall be

shall render to the beneficiaries, or their authorized representatives, a full statement showing all

receipts, charges of commissions, disbursements of income and principal, and investment

activity, as well as the status of the Trust at the time of rendering such statement. The written

approval of such statement by the then living adult beneficiaries shall be final and binding upon

all who are then or may thereafter become entitled to any Trust assets as to all matters and

transactions shown on the account. The trustee may submit an account to a court for settlement.

Trustee, to serve in his or her place, if he or she is unable to serve. This appointment may be

Trustee; (ii) replace any successor Trustee with one or more successor Trustees; and/or (iii) add

one or more successor Trustee, to serve concurrently with any other successor Trustee(s), or to

serve sequentially, in the place of any other successor Trustee(s). Any such removal or

appointment may be made by __________ in her Last Will and Testament, admitted to probate,

the determination of the Trustee as to whether all or any part of a dividend may be liquidating

shall be binding upon all persons interested hereunder. In any case where the applicable law is

unclear, the Trustee shall allocate to income or to principal or may apportion between income

and principal, receipts, disbursements, depletion and depreciation in such manner as she deems

proper.

B. It is the Grantors specific intent that any and all distributions from

qualified pension or profit sharing plans, self-employed retirement plans or Individual

Retirement Accounts shall be deemed to be principal for purposes of this Agreement, although
