Article I
Disposition of Trust Property and Reservation
of Powers During My Lifetime
A. During my lifetime my Trustees shall dispose of the net income and principal of the
trust property in such manner as I shall direct from time to time. In the absence of express written
direction from me to the contrary, my Trustees other than myself are at all times authorized in their
discretion to apply all or part of the income or principal for my benefit; to satisfy any of my
obligations, including my obligations under the Separation Agreement; to make distributions to any
one or more of my issue (a) for their support or (Li) to utilize gift tax exclusions and applicable credit
amounts and/or to facilitate any gifts authorized to be made under any power of attorney granted by
me.
B. During my lifetime I shall have the power, acting alone, at any time and from time to
time:
1. To amend or revoke this trust;
2. To appoint a Co-Trustee or Co-Trustees;
3. To remove any Trustee hereof;
4. To appoint a successor Trustee or Trustees;
5. To exercise any rights, options or privileges pertaining to any insurance policy
payable to my Trustees.
-2-
EFTA01111058
The exercise of any such power shall be by written instrument specifically referring to this trust
signed by me and deposited with my Trustees, either during my lifetime or within a reasonable time
after my death, but any act properly performed by my Trustees before any such instrument has been
deposited with them shall not be affected thereby.
C. While I am serving as a Co-Trustee with another person, until the receipt by any other
Trustee or Trustees then serving hereunder of a statement signed by me or by my duly authorized
attorney-in-fact to the effect that this paragraph is no longer in effect, I, as a Trustee, shall have sole
responsibility for all decisions as to the retention, disposition, investment, reinvestment or other
administration of the assets held by the Trust. Any other Trustee or 'Trustees serving hereunder shall
abide by such decisions and execute all documents which may be requited to effectuate them,
including, without limitation, proxies, subscriptions and documents of sale, acquisition or exchange. If
such other Trustee or Trustees shall fail to receive timely instructions from me as to any action which
must be taken within a specified time period with respect to a particular matter, such other Trustee or
Trustees may, but shall have no duty to take such action as he or they shall deem appropriate.
Article II
Payment of Taxes. Debts. Expenses and Bequests under my Will
Disposition of Art Following My Death
Following my death, my Trustees shall pay or apply such sum or sums from the principal of
the trust property as my executor may request, in writing, for the satisfaction of legacies, my lawful
debts, my legally binding charitable pledges, funeral expenses and expenses of administration of my
estate and any death tax payable by reason of my death with respect to property held under this trust
or with respect to property passing under my Will if such taxes are apportioned to my residuary estate.
If my executor fails to request funds sufficient for the payment of taxes, debts, expenses and legacies, I
direct my Trustees to make such payment or payments as may be necessary to make up such
deficiency directly to the person or organization entitled to the same. To the extent possible, no part
of any payment pursuant to the foregoing shall be made from funds or property which is exempt from
any such taxes if such funds or property would thereby become subject to any such taxes. Except as
otherwise provided in this Agreement or my Will, any such payments by my Trustees shall be made
out of the residue of the trust property that would otherwise be disposed of under Article X hereof
and shall not be made from or charged against any of the other assets passing to any other person
hereunder. I recognize that such payments will reduce the charitable deduction allowable to my estate.

EFTA01111059
In addition, my Trustees shall satisfy all specific bequests under Articles FIRST, SECOND
and THIRD of my Will of property that may have been transferred by me to the Trustees during my
lifetime and that is held by my Trustees at the time of my death. Death taxes shall be apportioned to
the persons who receive such specific bequests as provided in my Will.
My Trustees shall sell any works of art and antiques held hereunder at the time of my death
and dispose of the net proceeds as provided in this Agreement My Trustees' good faith determination
as to what constitutes a work of art or antique shall be final and binding on all concerned.

state death tax payable with respect to my estate. The provisions of this instrument shall be construed
so as to effectuate this intention.
Article XI
Trust for the Benefit of a Descendant of Ming
My Trustees shall hold and dispose of any property retained or received by them for any
descendant of mine (the "Beneficiary') as a separate trust for the benefit of the Beneficiary and such
Beneficiary's issue upon the following terms:
A. In the case of any separate trust held under this Article of which Abigail is the
Beneficiary, and if the Separation Agreement is in effect at the time of my death, my Trustees shall pay
so much of the net income and principal of the trust for Abigail as is required to be paid to or for the
benefit of Abigail under the Separation Agreement, and no distribution of the income or principal of
such trust shall be made to any beneficiary other than Abigail unless the health, education,
maintenance and support of Abigail have been fully provided for.
B. In the case of any trust held under this Article, my Trustees shall pay to or for the
benefit of such one or more of the Beneficiary (including Abigail or Renee) or, subject to Paragraph A
hereof, the Beneficiary's issue of any generation living from time to time so much of the net income
and principal of the trust as my Trustees deem desirable for the health, education, maintenance and
support of such person or persons, in my Trustees' discretion. In addition, the Disinterested Trustee
of the trust may also make payments from the net income and principal of such trust to or for the
benefit of such one or more of the Beneficiary or, subject to Paragraph A hereof, the Beneficiary's
issue, at such times and in such amounts as the Disinterested Trustee deems desirable. Any
undistributed income shall be added to the principal of the trust
C. Upon the death of the Beneficiary, my Trustees shall dispose of the then remaining
principal and undistributed income of the trust for the benefit of such Beneficiary in accordance with
the Beneficiary's exercise of a Special Power of Appointment. To the extent the Beneficiary shall fail to
exercise such power effectively, my Trustees shall allocate said principal and income by right of
representation among the Beneficiary's then living issue or, in default of such issue, by right of
representation among the then living issue of the nearest ancestor of such person who was either
myself or a descendant of mine and who has issue then living. My Trustees shall use the property so
allocated to any descendant of mine to create or add to a trust for the benefit of such person under
this Article. If no descendant of mine is then living, my Trustees shall dispose of said principal and
-13-
EFTA01111069
income in accordance with the provisions of Article X hereof.
D. Without limiting the discretion my Trustees would otherwise have, my Trustees may
transfer or distribute any portion of the net income and principal of the trust for the primary benefit of
the Beneficiary under this Article to any other trust created by me for the primary benefit of the
Beneficiary, or may merge the trust for the primary benefit of the Beneficiary under this Article with
any other trust created by me during my lifetime or upon my death and determine under which
instrument such continuing trust will be held; provided, however, that such other trust has
substantially similar terms and the same Beneficiary or beneficiaries, provided further that if the
ultimate remainder provisions of such mists are not identical, the trustees of the resulting merged trust
shall keep a record of the initial proportions of the trusts so merged so that if such ultimate remainders
become operative, the remaining principal of the resulting merged trust shall pass proportionately
according to the original governing provisions of the trusts so merged. If the duration of two trusts
that are merged pursuant to this Paragraph is measured or limited by a provision referring to the death
of the survivor of a group of individuals, such provisions shall be considered substantially similar even
if the groups include different individuals, as long all members of one group are included in the other.
If such trusts are merged, the duration of the merged trust shall be measured or limited by the group
that has fewer members.
E. With respect to any trust held under this Article for the benefit of a child of mine who
is a minor at the time of my death, after first satisfying the provisions of Paragraph A hereof with
respect to such trust, my Trustees may distribute to the guardian or guardians of such minor child,
other than Marla Prather if she is then acting as guardian of such minor child, for the guardian's own
use, such sum or sums as my Trustees in their discretion deem appropriate to relieve the financial
burden on such guardian and his or her family resulting from such minor child's presence in the
guardian's household. For example, my Trustees may distribute funds to such guardian to provide
additional domestic help, enlarge such guardian's home or purchase a new home, to the extent
necessary to provide a suitable living arrangement for my minor child and to ensure that such guardian
will not personally bear any additional cost as a result of his or her care for my minor child. In the
exercise of such discretion, my Trustees shall take into account the size of such trust, the needs and
age of such minor child, and the financial resources of the guardian to the extent known to my
Trustees. No Trustee who is simultaneously acting as guardian of such child shall participate in
decisions regarding any distribution pursuant to this Paragraph E to himself or herself or for his or het

benefit as guardian of such child. In addition, my Trustees may distribute to any nanny or other
person who is determined by my Trustees to serve a quasi-parental role in such minor child's life
(other than Marla) such amounts as my Trustees determine to be appropriate to provide for costs of
care provided to the child so that such person may maintain a close relationship with such child.
Article XII
Trust for the Benefit of a Descendant
of a Niece or Nephew of Mine
My Trustees shall hold and dispose of any property retained or received by them for the
benefit of the issue of a niece or nephew of mine as follows:
A. Whenever any niece or nephew of mine has disclaimed any property passing
hereunder, my Trustees shall hold such disclaimed property in one separate trust for the issue, taken
collectively, of such niece or nephew. Until the death of such niece or nephew of mine who
disclaimed such property, my Trustees shall pay so much of the net income and principal of the trust
to or for the benefit of one or more of the issue of such niece or nephew, of any generation, who is
living at the time such distribution is made, as my Trustees deem desirable for the health, education,
maintenance and support of such person or persons, in my Trustees' discretion. In addition, the
Disinterested Trustee may also make payments from the net income and principal of such trust to or
for the benefit of one or more of such person or persons, at such times and in such amounts as the
Disinterested Trustee deems advisable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no distribution of income or
principal shall be made from a trust held under this Paragraph that would discharge a legal obligation
of support that my niece or nephew who disclaimed such property owes to any beneficiary of such
trust. Any income not so paid shall be accumulated and added to principal. Upon the death of such
niece or nephew of mine who is the parent of the issue for whom a trust is held under this Paragraph,
or such earlier date as the Disinterested Trustee shall determine, my Trustees shall pay over the
remaining principal of such trust in accordance with Paragraph B hereof.
B. Whenever I have herein directed that property be held, administered or paid over in
accordance with this Paragraph B, my Trustees shall divide the same into shares by right of
representation among the then-living issue of my niece or nephew who would have received such
property if she or he were living at the time of my death and shall hold each such share in a separate
trust for the benefit of such person to be held, administered and paid as follows:
1. My Trustees shall pay to such person, from time to time, so much of the net

person at such times and in such amounts as the Disinterested Trustee deems advisable. Any income
not so paid shall be accumulated and added to principal
2. From and after the time such person attains thirty (30) years of age, my
Trustees shall pay to such person from time to time such portion or portions of the principal thereof
as such person shall request in writing.
3. Upon the death of such person, my Trustees shall allocate the then remaining
principal and undistributed income by right of representation among such person's then-living issue
or, in default of such issue, by right of representation among the then living issue of the nearest
ancestor of such person who was a descendant of my grandparents and who has issue then living. My
Trustees shall pay the share so allocated to a niece or nephew of mine to such niece or nephew,
outright and free of all trusts. My Trustees shall retain the share so allocated to any other person for
the benefit of such person upon the trusts set forth in this Article. In default of such issue, my

corporation to make or preserve an election to be treated as an S corporation under Section 1362(a) of
the Code or any successor thereto, and if the Disinterested Trustee shall determine that it would be
desirable for all or a portion of such stock to be held in Qualified Subchapter S Trusts, my Trustees
shall transfer such stock or such portion to one or more Qualified Subchapter S Trusts, each for the
benefit of a person (the "Beneficiary') for whose benefit such stock was theretofore held, as
determined by the Disinterested Trustee, and thereafter shall hold and dispose of the same upon the
following terms:
A. Unless sooner terminated as hereinafter provided or by distribution of all of the
property held therein, each Qualified Subchapter S Trust shall continue during the lifetime of the
Beneficiary thereof. During any year in which stock in an S corporation is held in any such trust, my
Trustees shall pay the net income of such trust to the Beneficiary at least as often as quarterly during
-16-

his or her lifetime. In addition to any payments required by the preceding sentence, my Trustees shall
pay to the Beneficiary from time to time such portion or portions of the net income and principal as
the Disinterested Trustee shall deem advisable for his or her benefit No distributions shall be made
to anyone other than the Beneficiary during such Beneficiary's lifetime.
B. Upon the death of the Beneficiary, my Trustees shall dispose of the then remaining
principal and undistributed income in accordance with the exercise by the Beneficiary of a Special
Power of Appointment To the extent the Beneficiary shall fail to exercise said power effectively, my
Trustees shall divide said principal and income into equal shares by right of representation among the
Beneficiary's then living issue or, in default of such issue, by right of representation among the then
living issue of the nearest ancestor of such person who was a descendant of my parents and who has
issue then living. Except to the extent that the property so allocated to any person is used to create a
Qualified Subchapter S Trust for the benefit of such person, my Trustees shall use the property so
allocated to any person to create or add to a trust for the benefit of such person under Article XI or
Article XI[ hereof, as the case may be.
C. As used herein, the term "Qualified Subchapter S Trust" means a trust that satisfies
the requirements of Section 1361(d)(3)(A) of the Code that

income beneficiary of the trust;
2. Any corpus distributed during the life of the current income beneficiary may
be distributed only to such beneficiary;
3. The income interest of the current income beneficiary in the trust shall
terminate on the earlier of such beneficiary's death or the termination of the trust; and
4. Upon the termination of the trust during the life of the current income
beneficiary, the trust shall distribute all of its assets to such beneficiary.
D. It is my intention that each trust hereunder shall be eligible to be a shareholder in an S
corporation. The provisions of this instrument shall be construed and all actions of my Trustees shall
be taken so as to effectuate this intention. It is my expectation that each beneficiary will make any
elections required for such eligibility under Section 1361(d) of the Code. Nothing herein shall be
construed to prevent my Trustees from joining in the revocation or termination of any corporation's
election to be an S corporation, if my Trustees determine that such revocation or
