EFTA01088372
created by Article FIRST hereof shall be known as the "Leon D.
Black 1999 Life Insurance Trust #2."
FIRST: Disposition of Principal and Income During
the Life of the Grantor and his Spouse.
A. The Trustees shall hold, manage, invest and rein-
vest the principal of the trust created by this Article, IN
TRUST, and, so long as either the Grantor or his spouse, DEBRA
R. BLACK, shall live, the Trustees shall receive the income
thereof and shall accumulate the net income thereof, if any,
and, at least annually, add it to the principal of such trust,
subject, however, to the provisions of Sections B and C of this
Article.
B. The Trustees are authorized and empowered to use
or apply such part, parts or all, if any, of the income or prin-
cipal of the trust created by this Article, in such amounts and
proportions, and at such time or times, as they, in their dis-
cretion, shall determine to pay premiums on any one or more
insurance policies on the life of the Grantor and/or of the
Grantor's said spouse which may at any time be held as part of
the principal of the trust created by this Article.
C. The Trustees are authorized and empowered to pay
such part, parts or all, if any, of the income and principal of
the trust created by this Article (including any or all insur-
ance policies held in the trust) to, or apply such part, parts
- 2 -
EFTA01088373
or all, if any, of the income and principal of the trust created
by this Article (including any or all insurance policies held in
the trust) for the use or benefit of, such one or more of the
descendants of the Grantor living from time to time, in such
equal or unequal amounts and proportions, and at such time or
times, as the Trustees, in their discretion, shall determine,
without regard to the interest in such trust of any other person
and without regard to the fact that any such payment or
application may result in the termination of the trust.
D. Upon the death of the survivor of the Grantor and
his said spouse, the Trustees shall pay the then principal of
the trust, together with all net income thereof accrued but not
yet collected, and collected but not yet disposed of,
(hereinafter referred to in this Section D as "such property"),
per stirpes, to such of the descendants of the Grantor as shall
then be living, subject, however, to the provisions of Article
SECOND hereof, or, if no descendant of the Grantor shall survive
both the Grantor and the Grantor's said spouse, the Trustees
shall pay such property in accordance with the provisions of
Article THIRD hereof.
E. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary,
if any descendant of the Grantor shall be a Trustee hereunder,
he or she shall not, in his or her capacity as such a Trustee,
have any voice or vote or otherwise participate in any decision
- 3 -

pertaining to the payment or application of the income or
principal of the trust created by this Article to or for the use
or benefit of him or her in his or her capacity as a beneficiary
of the trust or to or for the use or benefit of any person whom
he or she has an obligation to support, and, in each such event,
the other Trustee or Trustees, if any, shall make all decisions
relating to such trust that pertain to such matters.
SECOND: Continuing Trusts for
Descendants of the Grantor.
A. If, under any provision of this Trust Agreement,
any property is directed to be paid to a descendant of the
Grantor subject to the provisions of this Article, such property
shall not be distributed or paid to such descendant. Instead,
the Trustees shall continue to hold such property, IN TRUST (in
a separate trust for each such descendant which is referred to
in this Article as "such descendant's trust"; provided, however,
that if there shall be property so directed to be paid on more
than one occasion to any such descendant, all such property
shall be held in a single trust for such descendant), and, so
long as such descendant shall live before attaining the age of
twenty-one (21) years, the Trustees, other than such descendant
if he or she shall be a Trustee hereunder, are authorized and
empowered to pay to, or apply for the use or benefit of, such
descendant, such part, parts or all, if any, of the net income
of such descendant's trust, and at such time or times, as said
- 4 -
EFTA01088375
Trustees, in their discretion, shall determine, and the Trustees
shall accumulate the balance of such net income, if any, and, at
least annually, add it to the principal of such descendant's
trust, and, so long as such descendant shall live after attain-
ing the age of twenty-one (21) years, the Trustees shall pay to
such descendant all of the net income of such descendant's trust
in at least quarterly installments.
B. The Trustees, other than such descendant if he or
she shall be a Trustee hereunder, are authorized and empowered
to pay to, or apply for the use or benefit of, such descendant,
such part, parts or all, if any, of the principal of such
descendant's trust, and at such time or times, as said Trustees,
in their discretion, shall determine, without regard to the
interest in such trust of any other person and without regard to
the fact that any such payment or application may result in the
termination of such trust.
C. Upon the death of such descendant (hereinafter
referred to in this Section as "such deceased descendant"), the
Trustees shall pay the then principal of such deceased descen-
dant's trust, together with all net income thereof accrued but
not yet collected, and collected but not yet disposed of, in
such equal or unequal amounts or proportions, to or for the use
or benefit of such one or more persons, firms, corporations,
associations or governmental bodies (specifically excluding,
- 5 -
EFTA01088376
1
however, such deceased descendant, the creditors of such
deceased descendant, the estate of such deceased descendant, and
the creditors of the estate of such deceased descendant), and
upon such terms, conditions and trusts, if any, as such deceased
descendant, by a provision in his or her Will expressly refer-
ring to this Article of this Will, shall validly direct and
appoint. If, or to the extent that, such deceased descendant
shall fail so expressly and so validly to direct and appoint
such principal and income, the Trustees shall, at the death of
such deceased descendant, pay the unappointed trust property,
or, as the case may be, all thereof, per stirpes, to such of the
descendants of such deceased descendant as shall survive such
deceased descendant, subject, however, to the provisions of this
Article, or, if no such descendant shall so survive, per
stirpes, to such of the descendants as shall so survive of the
ancestor of such deceased descendant closest in degree of rela-
tionship to such deceased descendant who (i) shall have descen-
dants who shall so survive and (ii) shall have been a descendant
of the Grantor or shall have been the Grantor, subject, however,
to the provisions of this Article, or, if no such descendant
shall so survive, in accordance with the provisions of Article
THIRD hereof.
D. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary,
each trust created by the terms of this Article shall terminate,
if not sooner terminated, upon the expiration of twenty-one (21)
- 6 -
EFTA01088377
years after the death of the last survivor of (i) the Grantor,
(ii) the Grantor's spouse, DEBRA R. BLACK, and (iii) each
descendant of the Grantor who shall have been living on the date
hereof; and the Trustees shall thereupon pay the then principal
of any trust terminated in accordance with the provisions of
this Section, together with all net income thereof accrued but
not yet collected and collected but not yet disposed of, to the
descendant of the Grantor with respect to whom such trust is
being held.
THIRD: Disposition of Property if No Descendant
of the Grantor is Living.

1. The words "such time" shall mean the time as
of which any property is directed to be paid in accordance with
the provisions of this Article.
2. The words "Qualified Charitable Organiza-
tion" shall mean and refer to an organization which at such time
is described in §170(c)(2), §2055(a) and §2522(a) of the
Internal Revenue Code, and is then an organization exempt from
taxation under §501(a) of said Code as an organization described
in §501(c)(3) of said Code.

any property is directed to be paid in accordance with the pro-
visions of this Article, the Trustees shall pay such property to

desire that the directors of the Foundation expend such property
for the following purposes:
1. TWENTY-FIVE (25%) PERCENT thereof shall be
used to promote medical research;
2. TWENTY-FIVE (25%) PERCENT thereof shall be
used to promote Judaica;
3. TWENTY-FIVE (25%) PERCENT thereof shall be
used to promote art and culture; and
4. TWENTY-FIVE (25%) PERCENT thereof shall be
used to promote education.
If the Foundation is not a Qualified Charitable
Organization, such property shall be paid to such one or more
Qualified Charitable Organizations and in such amounts or
proportions as the Trustees, in their sole discretion, shall
determine, provided, however, that such property shall be used
- 8 -
EFTA01088379
for the purposes provided in paragraphs 1 through 4 inclusive of
this Section B.
FOURTH: Additions to the Trusts.
Any person, including the Grantor, by a transfer to
take effect during the life of such person or upon the death of
such person, may, at any time or times, add to the principal of
any trust hereunder any property of any kind or nature
acceptable to the Trustees, including insurance policies on the
life of the Grantor or of any other person, and any such
additional property so received by the Trustees pursuant to the
provisions of this Article shall thereafter be deemed to be part
of the principal of such trust subject to all of the terms, pro-
visions and conditions of this Trust Agreement.

irrevocable and not subject to amendment or change.

SEVENTH: Trustees.
A. The initial Trustee acting hereunder shall be
NORMAN BROWNSTEIN.

Trustee hereunder, the successor Trustee hereunder to act in his
place and stead shall be JOHN HANNAN (now residing at 1133 Fifth
Avenue, New York, New York 10128).
C. Each individual acting as a Trustee hereunder
(whether such Trustee is initially a party to this Trust Agree-
ment or a successor or additional Trustee named in Section B of
this Article or appointed pursuant to the provisions of
Section D of this Article or of this Section C) is authorized
and empowered to appoint another individual (other than the
Grantor or the Grantor's spouse, DEBRA R. BLACK) to act in his
or her place and stead as a Trustee hereunder; provided,
however, that no such appointment made by NORMAN BROWNSTEIN
shall be effective if, in accordance with the provisions of
Section B of this Article, he shall be succeeded as a Trustee
hereunder by JOHN HANNAN.
D. 1. It is the Grantor's wish that, so long as
any trust hereunder shall continue, there shall at all times be
at least one Trustee (and there may be as many as three (3)
- 10 -
EFTA01088381
Trustees) acting hereunder. Therefore, at any time prior to the
termination of any such trust:
(a) If there shall be a single Trustee
acting hereunder, he or she is authorized and empowered (but he
or she is not directed), to appoint another individual (other
than the Grantor or the Grantor's spouse, DEBRA R. BLACK) to act
as an additional Trustee hereunder.
(b) If there shall be two (2) Trustees
acting hereunder, the then acting Trustees hereunder are
authorized and empowered (but they are not directed), acting
unanimously, to appoint another individual (other than the
Grantor or the Grantor's spouse, DEBRA R. BLACK) to act with
them as an additional Trustee hereunder.
2. At any time when there shall be fewer than
three (3) Trustees acting hereunder, such fewer Trustees (or, as
the case may be, such sole Trustee) shall have the right to
exercise all rights and powers of the Trustees hereunder;
provided, however, that no such Trustee shall thereby be
permitted to exercise any authority or power which such Trustee
shall be prohibited from exercising by an express provision of
this Trust Agreement.
E. Each appointment of a successor or additional
Trustee hereunder made pursuant to the provisions of Section C
EFTA01088382
I I I I
or Section D of this Article shall be made by the execution of
an instrument of appointment signed and acknowledged by the
Trustee or Trustees who shall have made such appointment and by
delivering such instrument or a copy thereof in person or by
sending the same by registered or certified mail to each
successor or additional Trustee therein named, and also
delivering the same in accordance with the provisions of Section
I of this Article; and any such appointment may be revoked in
the same manner by the Trustee or Trustees who shall have made
it at any time before the occurrence of the event or events as
of which such appointment shall, by its provisions, become
effective. Any appointment made in accordance with the provi-
sions of Section C or Section D of this Article shall be valid
only if the successor or additional Trustee so appointed shall,
within forty-five (45) days after the later of (i) the date on
which a copy of such instrument of appointment is delivered to
him or her, and (ii) the occurrence of the event or events as of
which such appointment shall, by its provisions, become effec-
tive, qualify as a successor or additional Trustee hereunder in
accordance with the provisions of Section F of this Article.
F. Each successor or additional Trustee hereunder
shall qualify as such by accepting the trusteeship by the
execution of a signed and acknowledged instrument of acceptance
and by delivering such instrument in accordance with the provi-
sions of Section I of this Article.

EFTA01088383
G. Any individual Trustee hereunder may resign as
such a Trustee by the execution of a signed and acknowledged
instrument of resignation and by delivering such instrument in
accordance with the provisions of Section I of this Article.
Any such resignation shall become effective upon the receipt of
such instrument of resignation by each individual to whom it is
delivered or mailed as aforesaid or at such later date as may be
specified therein.
H. If any individual while acting as a Trustee here-
under shall become incapable of discharging his or her
responsibilities and duties as such a Trustee by reason of a
physical, emotional or intellectual incapacity and such incapa-
city shall be confirmed by each of two medical doctors in
written statements, copies of which shall be delivered or mailed
as hereinafter provided, the individual who is so incapacitated
shall be deemed for the purposes of construing and applying all
of the provisions of this Trust Agreement to have effectively
resigned as such Trustee in compliance with the provisions of
Section G of this Article, such resignation to be deemed to be
effective upon the delivery or mailing of the aforesaid
statements as hereinafter provided. Each of the aforesaid
statements shall be signed by the medical doctor making the same
and copies of the same shall be delivered in accordance with
Section I of this Article and, in addition, a copy thereof shall
be delivered in person or sent by registered or certified mail
- 13 -
EFTA01088384
1
to each individual, if any, who will become a successor Trustee
hereunder in the place and stead of the incapacitated Trustee to
whom such statement pertains.
I. Each instrument or statement directed to be
delivered in accordance with the provisions of this Section I
shall be deemed to be so delivered if it or a copy of it is
delivered in person or sent by registered or certified mail to
each Trustee, if any, then acting hereunder (other than the
Trustee, if any, who shall have executed such instrument or the
incapacitated Trustee, if any, to whom such statement pertains),
and also to any one or more of (i) the Grantor (or, if the
Grantor shall then be incapacitated, to the guardian or other
fiduciary, if any, appointed for the Grantor, or, if the Grantor
shall not then be living, to the executors, administrators or
personal representatives, if any, of the Grantor's estate), (ii)
any adult individual to whom or for whose use or benefit the
income of any trust hereunder may then be paid or applied, or
(iii) either parent or the guardian or other fiduciary appointed
for any minor or incapacitated individual to whom or for whose
use or benefit the income of any trust hereunder may then be
paid or applied.
J. I. As used in this Section, the words "Trustee-
Beneficiary" shall mean and refer to a Trustee of any trust
hereunder who shall, individually, then be a person to whom or
- 14 -
EFTA01088385
for whose use or benefit the income and/or principal of such
trust and/or any other trust hereunder may then be paid or
applied in the discretion of the Trustees of such trust or
trusts.
2. Notwithstanding anything herein to the con-
trary, if at any time there shall be more than one Trustee-Bene-
ficiary, in every instance where the Trustees are authorized and
empowered, in their discretion, to pay and/or apply the income
and/or the principal of any trust hereunder to or for the use or
benefit of the beneficiary or beneficiaries of such trust, then,
so long as there shall continue to be more than one Trustee-
Beneficiary, any Trustee of such trust who is a Trustee-
Beneficiary shall (unless otherwise prohibited from doing so by
an express provision of this Trust Agreement) be authorized and
empowered to participate in the decision to pay and/or apply the
income and/or the principal of such trust to or for the use or
benefit of any other Trustee-Beneficiary who shall be a
permissible beneficiary of such trust only if such payment or
application shall be for the health, education, maintenance or
support of such other Trustee-Beneficiary.
3. The limitation set forth in paragraph 2 of
this Section with respect to the power and authority of any
Trustee who shall be a Trustee-Beneficiary shall in no way serve
as a limitation with respect to the power and authority of any
- 15 -
EFTA01088386
Trustee hereunder who shall not be a Trustee-Beneficiary, and if
and so long as there shall at any time be more than one Trustee-
Beneficiary, the Trustee or Trustees hereunder, if any, other
than any Trustee who shall be a Trustee-Beneficiary shall alone
be vested with the power and authority to participate in the
exercise of discretion pertaining to the payment and application
of income and/or principal in which, under the limitation set
forth in said paragraph 2, any Trustee hereunder who is a
Trustee-Beneficiary shall not be permitted to participate.
K. No bond or other security shall be given by or
required in any jurisdiction (whether in the State of Colorado
or elsewhere) of any Trustee at any time acting hereunder
(whether such Trustee is named herein or appointed pursuant to
the provisions hereof) for the faithful performance of such
Trustee's fiduciary duties in any capacity hereunder regardless
of whether such Trustee is or may become a non-resident of the
State of Colorado or elsewhere.
EIGHTH: Compensation of Trustees.
A. So long as either the Grantor or his spouse,
DEBRA R. BLACK, shall live, no Trustee hereunder, whether such
Trustee is hereinabove named or appointed pursuant to the provi-
sions hereof, shall be entitled to any compensation (other than
reimbursement for out-of-pocket expenses) for services rendered
as a Trustee hereunder; and each Trustee who is a party to this
- 16 -
EFTA01088387
Trust -Agreement or who qualifies as a successor Trustee
hereunder as provided herein shall be deemed to have agreed to
serve as such Trustee during the life of the Grantor without
receiving any such compensation.
B. From and after the death of both the Grantor and
his said spouse, each Trustee hereunder, whether such Trustee is
hereinabove named or appointed pursuant to the provisions
hereof, shall be entitled to compensation equal to the Trustee's
commissions payable from time to time at the rates set forth
under the laws of the State of Colorado, unless such Trustee
shall have agreed in writing to accept a lesser rate of
compensation for serving as a Trustee hereunder, in which event
such Trustee shall be compensated at the lesser rate so agreed
upon.
NINTH: Authority with Respect to Life
Insurance Policies.
A. In addition to and in amplification of all other
authority and powers given to the Trustees by law and the other
provisions of this Trust Agreement, the Trustees, but solely in
their fiduciary capacities, are hereby authorized and empowered,
in their discretion, to accept, apply for, and maintain as part
of the principal of any trust held hereunder policies of life
insurance under which the Grantor, his said spouse and/or any
other person shall be the insured. All references in this
- 17 -
EFTA01088388
1
Article to the "insurance policies" shall mean and refer to any
such policy that may at any time be held in any trust hereunder.
B. The Trustees shall be vested with all right,
title and interest in and to the insurance policies, and all
incidents of ownership thereof, and are authorized and empowered
to exercise and enjoy, as though absolute owners of the insur-
ance policies, all of the options, benefits, rights, and privi-
leges thereunder as fully as any owner thereof might do, includ-
ing (without limiting the foregoing) the right to change the
beneficiary of any such policy in favor of themselves as
Trustees or in favor of any person or persons to whom such
policy may be paid, assigned or distributed pursuant to any pro-
vision hereof, surrender or cancel the same, convert any policy
into another type of policy, borrow against the same, assign the
same and revoke assignments, pledge the same for loans, obtain
loans against the cash surrender value thereof, and to exercise
settlement options. The insurance companies whibh have issued
the insurance policies are hereby authorized and directed to
recognize the Trustees as absolute owners of the insurance
policies and as fully entitled to all options, rights,
privileges and interests thereunder, and any receipts, releases
and other instruments executed by the Trustees in connection
with the insurance policies shall be binding and conclusive upon
the insurance companies and upon all persons then or thereafter
interested in any trust hereunder.
- 18 -
EFTA01088389
1 I I 1 1
C. The Trustees shall be under no duty or obligation
(i) to make inquiry as to the economic condition or solvency of
the insurance companies which have issued the insurance poli-
cies, (ii) to pay the premiums, dues, assessments and other
charges which may become due and payable on the insurance poli-
cies or any of them, (iii) to see that such payments are made by
the insured thereunder or by any other person, (iv) to notify
such insured or any other person that such payments are or will
become due or (v) to forward premium notices to such insured or
any other person. The Trustees shall not be liable or account-
able to anyone in case such premiums, dues, assessments and
other charges are not paid or for any result of the failure to
make such payments. The Trustees are authorized and empowered,
but not obligated, to borrow upon any of the insurance policies
and to make premium payments from the funds so derived, to use
or apply any of the principal and income of any trust hereunder
to pay premiums upon any of the insurance policies held in said
trust, to require that current dividends on any of the insurance
policies (and interest on dividends, if any, accumulated prior
to delivery of any of the insurance policies) shall be applied
by the insurance company in the reduction of premiums thereafter
payable on the same, and to require that any current dividends
may be applied by the insurance company for the purchase of
additional paid-up insurance on any of the insurance policies,
payable to the Trustees, as owners thereof. The Trustees are
- 19 -
EFTA01088390
authorized and empowered to execute and deliver any instruments
required in connection with the foregoing.
D. The Trustees may request (without being obligated
to do so) of any insurance company provision that, in the event
the premium on any of the insurance policies is not paid upon
the due date or within any period of grace thereafter, such
insurance company shall forthwith automatically loan the amount
required to pay such premium or the unpaid balance thereof, and
charge the same as an indebtedness against such policy, or if
such policy shall not be sufficient security for such loan, to
forthwith convert such policy into paid-up insurance, payable to
the Trustees, as owners thereof. All cash dividends thereafter
received on any such converted policy may in the discretion of
the Trustees be applied by such insurance company for additional
paid-up insurance, and any such policy shall be made payable to
the Trustees, as owners thereof, or to the person or persons to
whom such policy may be paid, assigned or distributed pursuant
to any other provision hereof. The Trustees may execute and
deliver any instruments required in connection with the fore-
going. The Trustees shall be under no duty or obligation to
exercise any benefit, option or privilege granted by any of the
insurance policies and the Trustees shall not be liable or
accountable to any one for the non-exercise by the Trustees of
any benefit, option or privilege. The Trustees are authorized
and empowered, but not obligated, to pay or cause to be paid any
- 20 -
EFTA01088391
t I I 1 I )
interest upon any loan made by any insurance company which is
charged as indebtedness against any of the insurance policies or
to require that such interest may be added to the existing
indebtedness charged against such policy.
E. All proceeds of any of the insurance policies
received by the Trustees of any trust hereunder shall be deemed
to be principal of such trust. As used herein, the term
"proceeds" shall mean and include double or additional indem-
nity, if any, and cash surrender value, if any of the insurance
policies are surrendered.
F. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary,
if any Trustee hereunder shall be an insured under any of the
insurance policies, such Trustee shall not have any voice or
vote or otherwise be permitted to participate in any manner,
directly or indirectly, with respect to any of the rights,
powers, authority and discretion herein granted to the Trustees
with respect to such policy, and, in such event, all such
rights, powers, authorities, and discretion pertaining to such
policy shall be exercised exclusively by the Trustee or Trustees
hereunder other than the Trustee who shall be the insured under
such policy.
- 21 -
EFTA01088392
TENTH: Settlement of Trustees' Accounts;
Exoneration of Trustees.
A. To the fullest extent permitted by law, the
Trustees shall not be required to file with or render to, and
the Grantor waives and excuses the filing with or rendering to,
any Court an account of their transactions or inventories, ac-
counts, statements or reports of principal and/or income with
respect to any trust created hereunder. Nevertheless, the
Trustees may at any time have their accounts judicially settled
with respect to any trust created hereunder, and in any such
proceeding it shall not be necessary to serve any person who is
under a disability if there is another party to the proceeding
who is not under any disability and who has the same interest as
the person who is under a disability, and, in such event, it
shall not be necessary to appoint a guardian ad litem for any
such party who is under a disability. The expenses of any such
account shall be a proper administration expense of the trust to
which such account relates.
B. If any Trustee shall resign as a Trustee here-
under, the continuing Trustee, if any, or, if there is no con-
tinuing Trustee, any successor Trustee who shall have qualified
to act in accordance with the provisions of Section F of Article
SEVENTH hereof, may deliver to the Trustee so resigning an
instrument whereby such resigning Trustee shall be released and
discharged, to the extent stated therein, of and from any and
- 22 -
EFTA01088393
J
all accountability, liability and responsibility for acts or
omissions as Trustee. Any such release and discharge shall be
binding upon all persons, whether or not then in being, then or
thereafter interested in either the income or the principal of
any trust hereunder and shall have the force and effect of a
final decree, judgment or order of a court of competent juris-
diction rendered in an appropriate action or proceeding for the
judicial settlement of the account of such Trustee in which
jurisdiction was obtained of all necessary and proper parties.
The foregoing provisions, however, shall not preclude any
Trustee so resigning from having his or her account judicially
settled, and in any such proceeding it shall not be necessary to
serve any person who is under a disability if there is another
party to the proceeding who is not under any disability and who
has the same interest as the person who is under a disability,
and, in such event, it shall not be necessary to appoint a
guardian ad litem for any such party who is under a disability.
The expenses of any such judicial account rendered shall be a
proper administration expense of the trust to which such account
relates.
C. In addition to the foregoing, the Trustees are
hereby authorized, at any time and from time to time, with
respect to any trust hereunder, to settle the account of the
Trustees by agreement between the Trustees and the then adult
individual or individuals to whom or for whose use or benefit
- 23 -
EFTA01088394
I
the income of such trust may then be paid or applied and the
adult or adults who would be entitled to the principal in case
such trust were to terminate at the time of such agreement,
excluding any such individual who is under a disability if there
is a party to the agreement who is not under any disability and
who has the same interest as the individual who is under a
disability, which agreement shall bind all persons, whether or
not then in being, then or thereafter interested in either the
income or the principal of such trust. Any such settlement
shall have the same force and effect as a final decree, judgment
or order of a court of competent jurisdiction rendered in an
appropriate action or proceeding for the judicial settlement of
such account in which jurisdiction was obtained of all necessary
and proper parties. The expenses of any such account shall be
a proper administration expense of such trust.
D. To the extent permitted by law, no Trustee shall
be accountable, liable or responsible for any act, default,
negligence, or omission of any other Trustee.

the Trustees shall determine, any property, real or personal,
which may at any time form part of any trust hereunder.

any such period shall extend beyond the period prescribed by law
or the probable term of any trust hereunder), on such terms and
conditions and at such time or times as the Trustees shall
determine, the whole or any portion or portions of any property,
real or personal, which may at any time form part of any trust
hereunder, whether the same be held in severalty or as

joint venture or otherwise, and release and convey any undivided
interest in any such property for the purpose of effecting par-
tition of the whole or any part thereof; and make, place, extend

EFTA01088397
renewal agreements, as to the Trustees shall seem necessary,
advisable or proper; and also to repair, alter, reconstruct,
build upon or improve any such property and on such terms and at
such time or times as the Trustees shall determine, give and
grant to others the right so to do, or agree in, or so modify
any lease affecting any such property that the lessee may alter,
repair, reconstruct, build upon, improve, mortgage and pledge
any such property; and generally to make, alter and modify all
agreements, leases, mortgages, pledges, building loans, sales,
exchanges, transfers and conveyances of or affecting any such

ment in value of, or betterment of or addition to, such prop-
erty.

trust hereunder invested in the same form of property in which
the same shall be invested when received by the Trustees, and
invest and reinvest the assets of any such trust, or any portion
thereof, in any form of investment which the Trustees may deter-
mine (including, without limitation, mutual funds, common trust
funds, investment trusts, general partnerships, limited part-
nerships and so-called discretionary funds or accounts in which
investment decisions with respect thereto are made in the dis-
cretion of the manager or managers of such accounts or funds),
whether or not such investment is of the nature prescribed by
- 27 -
EFTA01088398
1
law as a legal investment for fiduciaries or is speculative in
nature, and without regard to the percentage of the assets of
such trust which such investment or similar investments may
constitute.
4. To vote in person or by proxy all stocks and
other securities held by any trust hereunder; grant, exercise,
sell or otherwise turn to account rights to subscribe for stock
and securities and options of any nature; amortize or refrain
from amortizing premiums on bonds or other securities which the
Trustees may purchase or receive; participate in reorganiza-
tions, mergers, liquidations or dissolutions, and contribute to
the expenses of, and deposit securities with, protective commit-
tees in connection therewith; participate in voting trusts; and
generally exercise, in respect of said stock and securities, all
rights, powers or privileges which may be lawfully exercised by
any person owning similar property in his or her own right.
5. To employ any investment counsel, corporate
custodians, agents, accountants, brokers and attorneys which the
Trustees may select and pay the charges thereof; and the Trust-
ees, or a partnership, corporation or other entity in which any
Trustee shall be interested, or by which any Trustee may be
employed, may be retained in any such capacity, and, in such
event, the charges which shall be payable to such Trustee, or to
any such partnership, corporation or other entity, shall be in
- 28 -
EFTA01088399
addition to commissions or compensation otherwise allowable to
such Trustee and may be paid without prior judicial approval.
6. In any case in which the Trustees are autho-
rized or required to pay or distribute any share of any trust
hereunder, to make such payment or distribution in kind or in
cash or partly in each and, in connection therewith, to allocate
equal or unequal interests in, or amounts of, specific property
in satisfaction of such payment or distribution; provided,
however, that any property distributed in kind shall be valued,
for purposes of such distribution, at its fair market value on
the date of distribution.
7. To settle, adjust, compromise or submit to
arbitration any dispute, claim or controversy in which any trust
hereunder may be in any way interested.

hereunder or for any other purpose connected with the adminis-
tration, preservation, improvement or enhancement in value of
any such trust, and, in connection with any such borrowing, to
pledge, hypothecate or mortgage any part or all of the assets of
any such trust.
- 29 -
EFTA01088400
18. To exercise all authority, powers, privi-
leges and discretion conferred in this Article after the termi-
nation of any trust created hereunder and until all of the
assets of such trust are fully distributed.
B. No person or party dealing with the Trustees
shall be bound to see to the application of any money or other
consideration paid by him, her or it to the Trustees.
C. Except with respect to property, if any, over
which (i) the Trustees, pursuant to the provisions of paragraph
1 of Section B of Article THIRTEENTH hereof, shall have created
a power in a trust beneficiary to appoint the same to the credi-
tors of his or her estate, and (ii) such trust beneficiary shall
at his or her death expressly exercise such power in favor of
such creditors in the manner specified in said paragraph 1,
neither the principal nor the income of any trust hereunder, or
any part thereof, shall or may at any time be liable or subject
in any manner whatsoever to the debts or liabilities of any
beneficiary entitled to receive any principal or income there-
from; nor shall the principal or income of any trust hereunder
be liable to attachment by garnishment proceedings or other
legal process issued by any creditor of any beneficiary of such
trust for debts heretofore or hereafter contracted by such
beneficiary; nor shall any assignment, conveyance, charge,
- 34 -
EFTA01088401
encumbrance or order, either of principal or income, given by
any such beneficiary be valid.
D. Wherever in this Trust Agreement it is provided
that an instrument is to be "acknowledged," such instrument
shall be acknowledged in such manner as would be required if the
same were a conveyance of real property entitled to be recorded
in the State of Colorado.
E. 1. To the fullest extent permitted by law, no
transaction or decision involving any trust hereunder shall be
deemed invalidated in any way by reason of any personal, benefi-
cial or other interest which any Trustee may have with respect
to such transaction or decision, including, without limitation,
any transaction or decision with respect to any corporation,
company, partnership, association, estate, trust or other entity
in which any Trustee may have an interest in a capacity other
than as a Trustee hereunder, regardless of any conflict of
interest as to any such transaction or decision, and any such
transaction or decision shall be lawful and proper and shall not
be questioned unless such Trustee is guilty of fraud with
respect thereto. Without limiting the foregoing, no Trustee
shall be disqualified or barred from acting as such or have any
liability hereunder in exercising any power, authority or dis-
cretion conferred upon the Trustees by reason of the fact that
such Trustee may be a stockholder, officer, director, partner,
- 35 -
EFTA01088402
executor, administrator, personal representative, trustee, bene-
ficiary, or in any other way interested in the corporation, com-
pany, partnership, association, estate, trust or other entity
whose securities or property are the subject matter of the exer-
cise of such power, authority or discretion.
2. The Trustees hereunder shall be entitled to
compensation as officers, directors, fiduciaries or other parti-
cipants in any such entity notwithstanding the fact that they
are Trustees hereunder and are also entitled to receive compen-
sation as such Trustees.
F. The Trustees shall be under no duty or obligation
and shall not be liable to any trust hereunder or to any person
or persons interested in any trust hereunder or be surcharged
for failure to buy, sell or engage in any transaction directly
or indirectly involving securities issued or to be issued by any
corporation or other business organization concerning which any
of the Trustees, in a capacity other than as a Trustee here-
under, may have acquired any information which has not been
disclosed to the public.
THIRTEENTH: provisions Relatina to the GST.
A. As used in this Article:
- 36 -
EFTA01088403
1
1. "GST" shall mean and refer to the "United
States generation-skipping transfer tax imposed by Chapter 13 of
the Internal Revenue Code."
2. The words "inclusion ratio" shall have the
same meaning as those words are given in Section 2642 of the
Internal Revenue Code.
3. The words "Net Death Taxes" shall mean and
refer to the "aggregate death taxes (including, without limita-
tion, United States, state, local and other estate taxes and
inheritance taxes but not including any interest and penalties
thereon), after taking into account all applicable credits."
B. 1. Notwithstanding any other provision in this
Trust Agreement to the contrary, and in addition to any other
power of appointment hereinabove given by the foregoing provi-
sions of this Trust Agreement to any individual at whose death
the inclusion ratio with respect to any trust under this Trust
Agreement shall be more than zero (such individual being
referred to in this Article as "such beneficiary"), the Trustees
of such trust are authorized and empowered, by an acknowledged
instrument in writing (with such instrument to be filed with the
court, if any, then having jurisdiction over such trust, if such
court shall accept such instrument for filing), (i) to create in
such beneficiary a power (hereinafter referred to in this
Section B as "such power"), to be exercised by a provision in
- 37 -
EFTA01088404
his or her will expressly referring to this Article of this
Trust Agreement, to appoint to the creditors of his or her
estate any portion of the property held in such trust at the
death of such beneficiary, and (ii) to limit such power, by
formula or otherwise, to less than all of the property held in
such trust at the death of such beneficiary; provided, however,
that with respect to each such trust, the maximum amount of
property over which such power may be created shall not, after
taking into account the property, if any, over which any other
such power is created in such beneficiary, exceed the amount, if
any, above which any further addition to the amount subject to
such power would increase the Net Death Taxes determined with
respect to such beneficiary's estate by an amount equal to or
greater than the net decrease in the aggregate of (x) the GST
and (y) any state and/or local tax on generation-skipping
transfers imposed as a result of the death of such beneficiary
that would result from such further addition. Unless such
beneficiary's will otherwise provides by express reference to
this Trust Agreement and such power, the increase in the Net
Death Taxes on such beneficiary's estate resulting from such
power shall be paid from that part of the principal of such
trust over which such power is exercisable. If, or to the
extent that, such beneficiary shall fail so expressly and so
validly to exercise any power created in such beneficiary by the
Trustees pursuant to the provisions of this paragraph, the unap-
- 38 -
EFTA01088405
pointed portion (or, as the case may be, all) of the property
subject to such power shall pass pursuant to the provisions of
this Trust Agreement otherwise applicable to such property.
2. The Trustees are further authorized and
empowered, by an acknowledged instrument in writing (with such
instrument to be filed with the court, if any, then having
jurisdiction over the trust to which such power relates, if such
court shall accept such instrument for filing), to revoke any
power created by the Trustees pursuant to the provisions of
paragraph 1 of this Section B at any time prior to the death of
the beneficiary in whom such power was created, and to release,
in the manner set forth in Article FOURTEENTH hereof, the right
to create such a power. The Trustees shall not be liable for
any exercise, release or failure to exercise the authority and
power granted to them by the provisions of said paragraph 1 or
for the revocation of any power created by them pursuant to the
provisions of said paragraph 1, provided they utilize good faith
in considering whether or not to exercise or release such
authority and power or to cause such revocation, whether such
consideration be at their own instance or at the request of an
individual who is a beneficiary of a trust hereunder, the guar-
dian or other fiduciary of such an individual, or a member of
his or her family.
- 39 -
EFTA01088406
1
C. 1. Notwithstanding any other provision in this
Trust Agreement to the contrary, if at any time any property is
to be placed in a trust under the provisions of any Article of
this Trust Agreement, the Trustees shall, if need be, and if it
is possible to do so, divide such property and place the same in
separate trusts to the end that one such trust shall have an
inclusion ratio of zero, and if any property which is directed
to be added to a trust hereunder shall have an inclusion ratio
which is different than the inclusion ratio of such trust, the
Trustees shall not make such addition but shall instead admin-
ister such property in a separate trust under this Trust Agree-
ment; and, in each such instance, the property to be placed or
held in such a separate trust shall be held, administered and
disposed of by the Trustees pursuant to provisions identical to
the provisions of the trust to which, but for the provisions of
this paragraph 1, such property would have been placed or added.
2. If, pursuant to the provisions of paragraph
1 of this Section C, any property that would otherwise be held
in a single trust hereunder is instead held in separate trusts
hereunder, the Trustees of such trusts may, at any time or from
time to time, (i) make different tax elections and allocations
with respect to each such trust, (ii) expend principal and
income and exercise any discretionary power differently with
respect to each such trust, (iii) invest each such trust differ-
ently, and/or (iv) take all other actions consistent with such
- 40 -
EFTA01088407
trusts being separate entities. Furthermore, the donee of any
power of appointment with respect to such trusts may exercise
such power differently with respect to each such trust.
D. Notwithstanding the provisions of the foregoing
Sections of this Article to the contrary, if any Trustee here-
under is a current beneficiary of the income of any trust here-
under, or may, in the discretion of the Trustees, be a current
beneficiary of the income of any such trust, then, in such
event, such Trustee shall not, in his or her capacity as a
Trustee of such trust, have any voice or vote or otherwise
participate in any decision pertaining to the matters relating
to such trust that are addressed in the foregoing Sections of
this Article, and, in each such event, the other Trustee or
Trustees of such trust shall make all decisions relating to such
trust that pertain to such matters.
FOURTEENTH: Release of Powers.
Any beneficiary and any Trustee hereunder may at any
time or times release any discretionary power of appointment or
discretionary power to distribute principal or income or any
other discretionary power hereby given to such beneficiary or
Trustee, either with or without consideration, with respect to
the whole or any part of the property subject to such power and
also in such manner as to reduce or limit the persons or objects
or classes of persons or objects in whose favor such power would
- 41 -
EFTA01088408
otherwise be exercisable, by an instrument signed and acknowl-
edged by the beneficiary or Trustee releasing such power and
delivering the same in accordance with Section I of Article
SEVENTH hereof. In the event of the release of any such power
by any Trustee, the remaining Trustee or Trustees hereunder, if
any, may thereafter exercise such power, other than any discre-
•
tionary power which was not initially vested in such remaining
Trustee or Trustees. The release of any power by any Trustee
hereunder pursuant to the provisions of this Article shall not
be binding upon any Trustee who may thereafter act as a Trustee
hereunder unless such power shall have been released by all of
the Trustees then in office who are vested with such power by
their execution of a signed and acknowledged instrument speci-
fically providing that such release is to be binding upon all
successor Trustees hereunder.
FIFTEENTH: Provisions With Respect To
Closely Held Businesses.
Without limiting the powers and authority conferred
upon the Trustees by Article TWELFTH hereof but in extension
thereof, the Trustees are specifically authorized and empowered
in their discretion, to retain in any trust hereunder for as
long as they, in their discretion, shall deem advisable, any or
all shares of stock in any closely held corporation, or any
indebtedness owing by any such corporation, or any or all
interests in any proprietorship, unincorporated business,
- 42 -
EFTA01088409
partnership, joint venture, realty or any other asset, whether
owned individually, as tenant-in-common, partner or otherwise,
regardless of whether such asset or assets shall be producing
profits or losses through ownership or operation thereof, and
regardless of the percentage of such trust which such assets or
similar assets may constitute; and their decision to retain and
hold any such asset or liability shall be binding and conclusive
upon and shall not be subject to question by any person
interested, or who may become interested, in any of the trusts
hereunder, and the Trustees shall not incur any liability by
reason thereof.
SIXTEENTH: Headings.
The Article headings contained herein are inserted
only as a matter of convenience and in no way define, limit,
extend or describe the scope hereof or the intent of any provi-
sion hereof.
SEVENTEENTH: Counterparts and Severability.
A. This Trust Agreement may be executed in one or
more counterparts, each of which together shall constitute one
and the same instrument.
B. Should any part, clause, provision or condition
hereof be held to be void or invalid, then such invalidity shall
not affect any other part, clause, provision or condition
- 43 -
EFTA01088410
hereof, but the remainder hereof shall be effective as though
such void part, clause, provision or condition had not been
contained herein.
