THIS AGREEMENT made this IS day of , 2013,
between LEON D. BLACK of the State of New York (hereinafter called the "Grantor"),
and LEON D. BLACK (hereinafter, along with any other person, bank or trust company
qualifying as additional or successor trustees, referred to as the "Trustees").
WITNESSETH:
The property transferred to the Trustees hereunder shall be held by the
Trustees IN TRUST subject to the following terms and conditions. This trust agreement
shall be known as the LB REVOCABLE TRUST AGREEMENT.
FIRST: DISPOSITION OF INITIAL TRUST
(A) During the life of the Grantor, the Trustees shall pay to the
Grantor so much of the income of this trust as the Trustees may deem advisable in their
sole and absolute discretion, including such amount as the Trustees may deem advisable
to enable the Grantor to pay income taxes. Any income not directed to be paid shall be
accumulated by adding such income to the principal of the trust.
(B) At any time and from time to time during the life of the
Grantor, the Trustees may, in their sole and absolute discretion, pay to him so much of
the principal of this trust as the Trustees may deem advisable, including such amount as
the Trustees may deem advisable to enable the Grantor to pay income taxes.
(C) At any time and from time to time during the life of the
Grantor, the Grantor may withdraw from the income and/or principal of this trust so
much of the income and/or principal as the Grantor shall direct by instrument in writing
signed and delivered to the Trustees during his lifetime.

EFTA00601830
(D) At any time and from time to time during the life of the
Grantor, the Grantor, by instrument signed and delivered to the Trustees, may direct the
Trustees to pay income and/or principal to any individual or entity. Any payment made
by the Trustees pursuant to such direction shall be deemed to be a withdrawal by the
Grantor followed by a transfer to such individual or entity, it being the Grantor's desire to
avoid the multiple re-titling of assets.
(E) In addition, during any period in which the Grantor is
Incapacitated (as defined in Clause THIRTEENTH), the Independent Trustees (as
defined in Clause THIRTEENTH) are authorized to make the following distributions:
(1) The Independent Trustees are hereby authorized
and empowered to make gifts on the Grantor's behalf of cash or property, either outright
or in trust, to or for the benefit of such one or more of (i) the Grantor's wife DEBRA R.
BLACK ("DEBRA"), (ii) the Grantor's descendants, (iii) the Grantor's sister JUDY
ELLEN BLACK ("JUDY"), (iv) the Grantor's mother SHIRLEY BLACK
("SHIRLEY"), and (v) Qualified Charitable Organizations (as defined in Clause
THIRTEENTH), as the Independent Trustees, in their sole, absolute and uncontrolled
discretion deem advisable, at any time and from time to time. It is the Grantor's intent to
permit the Independent Trustees to make gifts either to continue any pattern of gift-giving
that the Grantor may have established, or if the Independent Trustees believe that such
gifts will be in the best interests of the Grantor's family, taking into consideration the tax
consequences of making or refraining from making such gift. The Trustees are further
authorized and empowered to pay any gift or generation-skipping transfer ("GST") taxes
that may be payable in connection with any gift made pursuant to this provision.

and empowered to pay on the Grantor's behalf such of the Grantor's enforceable debts as
they come due.
(F) Upon the death of the Grantor, the remaining trust property
shall be disposed of as the Grantor may appoint by his Last Will in favor of any
appointee or appointees, including his estate.
(G) Upon the death of the Grantor, any remaining trust property
which is not effectively appointed pursuant to his testamentary power of appointment,
together with any property bequeathed to this trust by the Grantor or added hereto at or
by reason of the Grantor's death, shall be disposed of as directed hereinafter under this
Agreement.
SECOND: PERSONAL PROPERTY/ART DISPOSITION
(A) If DEBRA survives the Grantor:
(1) If the trust property includes any Individual
Collectibles (as defined in Clause THIRTEENTH) or any interest in an Art Entity (as
defined in Clause THIRTEENTH), the Grantor directs the Trustees to hold all of the
Individual Collectibles, together with all insurance covering the Individual Collectibles,
and any such interest in an Art Entity, IN TRUST, in accordance with Clause EIGHTH.
(2) If the trust property includes any other articles of
personal and household use or ornament, including, without limitation, automobiles,

granted in subparagraph (B)(1Xb) of this Clause SECOND, if the trust property includes

Trustees to distribute the Grantor's Collectibles (as defined in Clause THIRTEENTH),
together with all insurance covering the Grantor's Collectibles, to the LEON BLACK
FAMILY FOUNDATION (as defined in Clause THIRTEENTH), if it is then in existence

selected Collectibles among the Trustees of the Legacy Trusts (as defined in Clause

shall be delivered contemporaneously to the Trustees of such Legacy Trust that shall
receive a selected Collectible, and shall terminate completely if and to the extent it is not

appropriation is intended to be, and shall be treated as, a power described in the flush
language following Section 2055(a)(5) of the Code to consume, invade or appropriate
property for the benefit of an individual, the complete termination of which before the
date prescribed for the filing of the estate tax return for the Grantor's estate shall be
considered and deemed to be a qualified disclaimer with the same full force and effect as
though a qualified disclaimer of said power had been filed.
(d) The Trustees may exercise the foregoing
power of appropriation to any extent, or not exercise said power, in their complete
discretion. Nevertheless, the Trustees shall be guided by the Grantor's wishes made
known to them. Their decision as to whether or not, and the extent to which, to exercise
said power shall be final and binding on all persons and entities interested hereunder, and
they shall not be liable to any person or entity interested hereunder for any failure to
exercise said power.
(e) To the extent that the Trustees select any
Collectibles that are held by an Art Entity, the Trustees shall instruct the manager of such
Art Entity to distribute such Collectible to the Trustees of such Legacy Trust. The
Grantor confirms that the Trustees have the further authority to direct the liquidation of
any such Art Entity as is necessary in order to effect the disposition of the Collectibles
pursuant to this Clause SECOND.

the Grantor's children.

the remaining items of personal and household use or ornament for purposes of division

NINTH: MARITAL/CHARITABLE DEDUCTION PROVISIONS
The following provisions shall apply to the GST Marital Trust created
under paragraph (B) of Clause SIXTH and the Marital Trust created under Clause
EIGHTH (each a "Marital Trust" and collectively, the "Marital Trusts"):
(A) The Grantor confirms that the Grantor's Executors (other
than DEBRA) 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 (other than DEBRA)
may determine to make said election or elections with respect to all or any part or none of
the Marital Trusts, all in the Executors' complete discretion. The Grantor suggests to his
Executors (other than DEBRA) 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 (other than DEBRA) as to
18
Doclf: USI:8489O98v16 0191i46-00001
EFTA00601847
whether and to what extent to make said election shall be absolute and conclusive,
regardless of the personal interest any 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 granted under this Clause NINTH.
(B) The Grantor directs that any trust principal passing to a
Marital Trust which the Grantor's Executors (other than DEBRA) do not elect to qualify
for the marital deduction shall be held in a separate trust, apart from the principal of the
Marital Trust for which an election is made by the Grantor's Executors to qualify for the
marital deduction. The Grantor further directs that any trust principal passing to a
Marital Trust for which the Grantor's Executors (other than DEBRA) 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 Marital Trusts shall be
administered under paragraph (B) of Clause SIXTH and Clause EIGHTH, as the case
may be, 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, the Trustees take into account all potential transfer taxes.
(C) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the
contrary, any power, duty or discretionary authority granted to the Executors of the
Grantor's estate or 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 the Marital Trusts of all or any part of the tax benefit afforded by the
19
Dod USI &89098v16 019846-00003
EFTA00601848
marital deduction provisions of Section 2056 of the Code (to the extent so elected by the
Executors of the Grantor's estate).
(D) If any part of DEBRA's gross estate for Federal estate tax
purposes consists of property which is includible by reason of Section 2044 of the
Internal Revenue Code, relating to certain property for which the marital deduction was
allowed in the Grantor's estate, the Executor of DEBRA's estate shall be entitled to
recover from the Trustees of the Marital Trusts 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 of any Marital Trust which is not included in DEBRA's gross estate for Federal
estate tax purposes; and provided further, however, that all such taxes, to the extent
possible, shall be paid first from the property passing under subparagraph (C)(5) of
Clause EIGHTH, thereby preserving (to the extent possible) the GST Marital Trust and
the property passing under subparagraphs (C)(1) through (C)(4) of Clause EIGHTH.
(E) If DEBRA, pursuant to the authority granted to her under
paragraph (A) of Clause FOURTEENTH, at any time directs the Trustees to sell any of
the Grantor's Collectibles or any of the Residential Property held by the Marital Trust:
(1) (a) The Trustees of Hefitage Trust shall have
the first option to purchase any or all of the Residential Property from the Marital Trust at
the Fair Market Value (as defined in Clause THIRTEENTH) as determined by the
Appraised Value (as defined in Clause THIRTEENTH). The Trustees of the Heritage
Trust shall exercise said option to purchase by delivering written notice to the Trustees of
the Marital Trust within thirty (30) days of the Trustees receiving the Appraised Value.

(b) If the Trustees of the Heritage Trust fail to
exercise the foregoing option to purchase, the Trustees of the Marital Trust, in their
discretion, may sell such property to any one or more of the Grantor's children and/or the
Trustees of the Legacy Trusts for the Appraised Value. If more than one of the Grantor's
children and/or Trustees of the Legacy Trusts wish to purchase the same property, the
Trustees of the Marital Trust (other than any child of the Grantor) shall develop a
mechanism for resolving any such dispute, which shall be final and binding on all of the
Grantor's children and the Trustees of the Legacy Trusts. The Grantor's children and/or
the Trustees of the Legacy Trusts shall exercise said option to purchase by delivering
written notice to the Trustees of the Marital Trust within thirty (30) days of the lapse of
the option granted to the Trustees of the Heritage Trust under subparagraph (E)(1)(a) of
this Clause NINTH.
(c) If, after the lapse of the foregoing options to
purchase any Residential Property under subparagraphs (E)(1)(a) and (E)(I)(b) of this
Clause NINTH, the Trustees of the Marital Trust are prepared to accept a bona fide
written offer from a third party buyer to purchase the same Residential Property for the
Decreased Amount (as defined in Clause THIRTEENTH), the Trustees of the Marital
Trust shall give prompt written notice of such offer to the Trustees of the Heritage Trust,
the Trustees of the Legacy Trusts, and the Grantor's children, which notice further shall
include an option to purchase such Residential Property for the Decreased Amount (the
"Residence Option Notice"). The Trustees of the Heritage Trust, the Trustees of the
Legacy Trusts, and the Grantor's children shall exercise the option to purchase such
Residential Property by delivering written notice to the Trustees of the Marital Trust

within thirty (30) days of receiving the Residence Option Notice. If more than one of the
Trustees of the Heritage Trust, the Trustees of the Legacy Trusts, and the Grantor's
children wish to purchase a Residential Property for the Decreased Amount, (i) the
Trustees of the Heritage Trust shall have first priority in making such purchase, and (ii)
with respect to any multiple offers to purchase by the Trustees of the Legacy Trusts
and/or the Grantor's children, the Trustees of the Marital Trust (other than any child of
the Grantor) shall develop a mechanism for resolving any such dispute, which shall be
final and binding on all of the Grantor's children and the Trustees of the Legacy Trusts.
(2) (a) The Grantor's children and the Trustees of
the Legacy Trusts shall have the first option to purchase any of the Grantor's Collectibles
from the Marital Trust at the Fair Market Value as determined by the Appraised Value.
The Grantor's children and the Trustees of the Legacy Trusts shall exercise said option to
purchase by delivering written notice to the Trustees of the Marital Trust within thirty
(30) days of the Trustees receiving the Appraised Value. If more than one of the
Grantor's children and the Trustees of the Legacy Trusts wish to purchase the same
Collectible, the Trustees of the Marital Trust (other than any child of the Grantor) shall
develop a mechanism for resolving any such dispute, which shall be fmal and binding on
all of the Grantor's children and the Trustees of the Legacy Trusts. Without imposing
any legal obligation, it is the Grantor's wish that the Trustees of the Marital Trust, in
developing such mechanism, take into account any requests regarding the disposition of
such Collectibles as set forth in any writing signed by the Grantor that is in existence at
his death.

(b) If, after the lapse of the foregoing option to
purchase a Collectible under subparagraph (E)(2)(a) of this Clause NINTH, the Trustees
of the Marital Trust are prepared to accept a bona fide written offer from a third party
buyer to purchase such Collectible for the Decreased Amount, the Trustees of the Marital
Trust shall give prompt written notice of such offer to the Grantor's children and the
Trustees of the Legacy Trusts, which notice further shall include an option to purchase
such Collectible for the Decreased Amount (the "Collectible Option Notice"). The
Grantor's children and/or Trustees of the Legacy Trusts shall exercise the option to
purchase such Collectible by delivering written notice to the Trustees of the Marital Trust
within thirty (30) days of receiving the Collectible Option Notice. If more than one of
the Grantor's children and/or Trustees of the Legacy Trusts wish to purchase the same
Collectible for the Decreased Amount, the Trustees of the Marital Trust (other than any
child of the Grantor) shall develop a mechanism for resolving any such dispute, which
shall be final and binding on all of the Grantor's children and the Trustees of the Legacy
Trusts.

and the Executors of the Grantor's estate may engage in transactions with respect to the
property directed to be disposed of pursuant to the provisions herein so long as such
transactions comply with the exception to the indirect self-dealing rules for private
foundations that is provided under Treasury Regulation Section 53.4941(d)-1(b)(3).
