RE: Pennsylvania Inheritance Tax Return
FOR: Fries, Charles S. (deceased)
FILE NO. 21-05-0683
On 10 February 1993 Charles S. Fries ("Decedent") created a trust with his spouse, Evelyn M. Fries.
A copy of the trust agreement is attached to this statement. By an amendment dated 10 January 2005, the
Decedent and his wife modified one provision of the trust agreement. That provision, however, did not
affect the distribution of property by the trust upon Decedent's death.
Upon the execution of the trust agreement and the creation of the trust, Decedent and his wife
transferred virtually all of their assets into the name of the trust. Thereafter, the trust held and managed those
assets. At the time of Decedent's death, the only assets he owned which were not held by the trust were:
A. Several individual retirement accounts and policies of insurance on Decedent's
life, all of which named Decedent's widow, Evelyn M. Fries, as the beneficiary. Because
Evelyn M. Fries survived Decedent's death, all of these assets passed to her.
B. One or more small bank accounts which were held in the joint names of Decedent
and his wife, Evelyn M. Fries. Because Evelyn M. Fries survived Decedent's death, all of the
funds in these accounts passed to her alone.
C. Eight U.S. Savings Bonds which Decedent held in his name alone. Those bonds
were liquidated shortly after Decedent's death and the value of those bonds is included on
Schedule E of the Pennsylvania Inheritance Tax Return.
Because all of these assets were held jointly by Decedent and his spouse, and because his spouse survived
Decedent's death and, therefore, all of the property passed to her, it is the estate's position that none of these
assets are taxable except for the U.S. Savings Bonds which are properly reported on the inheritance tax
return.
All of the assets held in the trust created by Decedent and his spouse passed to a trust for the benefit
of Decedent's spouse, pursuant to Article IV of the trust agreement (attached hereto as Exhibit A). The
gross value of all of those assets was less than $1,000,000.00 and, as a result, under the clear dictates of the
trust agreement, all of those assets passed to the "marital fund" which was held in further trust for the benefit
of Decedent's spouse, Evelyn M. Fries. The estate did not make an election under Section 9113 to pay
inheritance tax on any of the funds or assets in the trust. Accordingly, it is the estate's position that, because
all of the assets within the trust passed to the decedent's surviving spouse and widow, no inheritance tax is
due on those assets or funds.

TRUST ESTATE
2.01. Transfer to Trust. Settlor does hereby assign,
transfer and deliver to the Trustees and their successors and
assigns the property described in Schedule "A" attached hereto
2
and made a part hereof, or as Schedule "A" may be amended. As
further evidence of such assignment, the Settlor has executed or
will execute or cause to be executed such other instruments as
may be required for the purposes of completing the assignment or
transfer of title to such property to the Trustees. The Trustees
accept such transfer and assignment to themselves as Trustees,
and undertake to hold, manage, invest and reinvest the assets of
this Trust, and to distribute the income and principal of the
Trust in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.
2.02. Additional Transfers to Trust. The Settlor, and any
other person, with the consent of the Trustees, shall have the
right at any time to make additions to the corpus of this Trust
or any shares thereof hereby established. All such additions
shall be held, controlled, and distributed by the Trustees in
accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
ARTICLE III.
LIFE INSURANCE POLICIES
3.01 Transfers of Life Insurance to Trust. If any
insurance pOlicies are transferred into this Trust, the Trustees
shall be vested with all right, title, and interest in and to the
transferred policies of insurance, and are authorized and
empowered to exercise and enjoy, for the purposes of the Trust
herein created and as absolute owner of such policies of
insurance, all the options, benefits, rights and privileges under
such pOlicies, including the right to borrow upon and to pledge
them for a loan or loans. The Trustees take all rights, title,
and interest in and to such insurance pOlicies subject to any
prior split-dollar life insurance agreement which may be in
effect at the time of the transfer. The insurance companies
which have issued such pOlicies are hereby authorized and
directed to recognize the Trustees as absolute owners of such
pOlicies of insurance and as fully entitled to all options,
rights, privileges, and interests under such pOlicies, and any
receipts, releases, and other instruments executed by the
Trustees in connection with such pOlicies shall be binding and
conclusive upon the insurance companies and upon all persons
interested in this Trust.
3.02 Payment of Premiums. It is the intention of the
Settlor to pay any and all premiums, assessments or other charges
necessary to keep each pOlicy included in the Trust in force
unless such premiums shall be paid by the insured thereunder
(where the insured is someone other than the Settlor) or in some
other manner, but the Settlor shall be under no duty in this
respect and shall incur no liability to the beneficiaries of the
Trust or to any other person if the Settlor shall permit any such
3
pOlicy to lapse for nonpayment of premiums, assessments or
charges, or otherwise permit any such pOlicy to become
uncollectible.
The Trustees shall be under no obligation to pay the
premiums which may become due and payable under the provisions of
any policy of insurance which may be transferred or assigned to
this Trust, or to make certain that such premiums are paid by the
transferor of such policy, or to notify any persons of the
nonpayment of such premiums, and the Trustees shall be under no
responsibility or liability of any kind in case such premiums are
not paid, except that the Trustees shall apply any dividends
received by the Trustees on such pOlicies to the payment of
premiums thereon.
Upon notice at any time during the continuance of this Trust
that the premiums due upon such pOlicies are in default, or that
premiums which will become due will not be paid, either by the
transferor or by any other person, the Trustees, within their
sole discretion, may apply any cash values attributable to such
policy to the purchase of paid-up insurance or of extended
insurance, or may borrow upon such pOlicy for the payment of
premiums due thereon, or may accept the cash values of such
policy upon its forfeiture. In the event that the Trustees
receive the cash value of such pOlicy upon its forfeiture for
nonpayment of premiums, the amount received shall be added to the
corpus of this Trust, and shall be administered according to the
terms of this Agreement. If the insured under such pOlicies of
insurance, becomes totally and permanently disabled within the
meaning of any pOlicies and because thereof the payment of
premiums, or any of them, shall, during the pendency of such
disability, be waived, the Trustees, upon receipt of such
knowledge, shall promptly notify the insurance company which has
issued such pOlicies, and shall take any and all steps necessary
to make such waiver of pr~ium provision effective.
3.03. Rights in the Life Insurance Reserved to Settlor. The
following rights, exercisable without the consent of the Trustees
or the beneficiaries of the Trust, are expressly reserved by the
Settlor during the Settlor's lifetime with respect to each pOlicy
included in the Trust insuring the Settlor's life and/or owned by
the Settlor and made payable to the Trustees hereunder: {i} to
exercise all options, elections, rights and privileges accorded
to the Settlor under the terms of any such policy, {ii} to obtain
all or any part of the loan value of any such pOlicy, {iii} to
use any such pOlicy as collateral for a loan, {iv} to sell,
assign or pledge any such pOlicy, {v} to receive any dividends,
distributive shares of surplus earnings, disability benefits,
surrender values or the proceeds of matured endowments, {vi} to
4
change the named beneficiary to whom the proceeds of such pOlicy
are payable on the insured's death, and (vii) to convert any or
all pOlicies into other forms of insurance or annuities or to
permit the same to lapse. The Trustees agree to execute any and
all instruments that may be necessary to permit the exercise of
any such right by the Settlor, without liability to anyone for so
doing. Upon the maturity of any life insurance pOlicy included
in the Trust, whether at the insured's death or at any other
time, the Trustees shall collect the proceeds thereof.
3.04 Duties of Trustees Regarding the Life Insurance. The
Trustees shall be under no obligation or duty whatsoever except
with respect to the safekeeping of such pOlicies of insurance and
the duty to receive such sums as may be paid to the Trustees, in
accordance with the requirements of this Trust, by the companies
issuing such pOlicies, and to hold, manage and disburse such
proceeds subject to the terms of this Agreement. Upon the death
of the insured, the Trustees shall make reasonable efforts to
carry out the provisions of this Agreement, including the
maintenance or defense of any suit, provided, however, the
Trustees shall be under no duty to maintain or enter into any
litigation unless their expenses, including counsel fees and
costs, have been advanced or guaranteed in an amount and in a
manner reasonably satisfactory to them. The Trustees may repay
any advances made by them or reimburse themselves for any such
fees and costs from any corpus or income of this Trust.
ARTICLE IV.
DISTRIBUTIONS FROM TRUST
4.01. Distributions During Settlor's Life. If more than
ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS ($100) worth of cash, property or other
assets (besides pOlicies of insurance) is added to the Trust
during the Settlor's life, then the Trustees shall pay to, or
apply for the benefit of, the Settlor: (1) so much of or all of
the income and so much of or all of the principal as the Trustees
deem desirable for the most comfortable care, support,
maintenance, welfare, education, happiness, luxuries and any
needs arising from illness, accidents or other emergencies of the
Settlor; and, (2) so much of or all of the income and so much of
or all of the principal as the Settlor shall request.
4.02. Formula Division into Marital and Non-Marital
Portions.
(A) General Explanation of Plan. If the Settlor's spouse
survives the Settlor, the Trustees ~hall upon the Settlor's death
divide the trust property into marital and'non-marital portions,
pursuant to the formula set forth in Section 4.02(B), below. If
5
the Settlor's spouse does not survive the Settlor all of the
trust property shall be disposed of as provided in Paragraph
4.04, below (applicable to the non-marital portion of this
Trust) .
(B) Formula Division into Non-Marital and Marital Portions.
(1) Non-Marital Portion. The non-marital portion
of this Trust shall be an amount equal to the largest
amount that can pass from the Settlor's estate free of
any federal estate tax as a result of the allowance of
the Unified Credit under IRC Section 2010 (or the
corresponding provisions of any subsequent federal tax
law), and the State Death Tax Credit under Section 2011
(or the corresponding provisions of any subsequent
federal tax law), but only to the extent that the use
of such Death Tax Credit does not incur or increase any
state death taxes otherwise payable by Settlor's
estate. The non-marital portion of this Trust shall be
determined after taking into consideration, among other
things, the following: (i) the value of any and all
bequests or transfers from the Settlor's estate or this
Trust which do not qualify for the marital or
charitable deduction; (ii) all charges against
principal in the Settlor's estate or this Trust that
are not allowed as deductions in computing the federal
estate tax; (iii) all administration and other expenses
claimed on the Settlor's estate tax return; (iv) any
prior adjusted taxable gifts made by Settlor; (v) all
disclaimers, renunciations and elections (except any
elections under IRe Section 2056(b) (7) which may be
available with respect to the disposition in this
Article IV; and, (vi) any available elections under
Section 2056(b) (7) with respect to any interests in
property other than the disposition under this Article
IV shall, for purposes of computing the fraction, be
conclusively presumed to have been made, whether or not
any such election is in fact made.
(2) Marital Portion.
Trust shall be the portion
entire amount held in this
portion.
The marital portion of this
remaining after reducing the
Trust by the non-marital
~
(e) Non-Marital Portion to Pass to the By-PaSS Trust. The
non-marital portion of this Trust shall pass into the By-Pass
Trust (herein referred to as the "By-Pass Trust") to be held and
disposed of in accordance with the terms set forth below.
6
(D) Distribution of Marital Portion. If the Settlor's
spouse survives the Settlor, the entire marital portion shall be
distributed to the then-current Trustee(s) of the EVELYN M. FRIES
FAMILY REVOCABLE TRUST dated February~, 1993, as now in
effect or as may hereafter be amended, to be held and disposed of
in accordance with the terms of that Trust.
(E) Valuation Elections and Selection of Assets.
(1) Valuation Elections, Meaning of Terms and
Date of Distribution Values to Govern. For the purpose
of determining the amount of the marital portion,
values shall be those which are finally determined for
federal estate tax purposes. Elections made by the
Settlor's fiduciaries with respect to an alternate
valuation date and with respect to taking certain
deductions for income tax purposes (rather than estate
tax purposes) shall determine the values and this the
formula amount as computed under Section 4.02(B).
Throughout this instrument, the words "marital
deduction," "gross estate" and "alternate valuation
date" shall have the same meanings as such words have
for marital deduction purposes under the federal tax
laws applicable at the Settlor's death. Subject to the
requirements of Section 4.02(E) (2) and (3), below, the
Trustees are authorized, in their sole discretion, to
satisfy the marital portion in cash or in kind, or
partly in each; and if wholly or partly in kind, to
place in the marital portion the specific asset or
assets so selected; provided, however, that any assets
placed in the marital portion in kind shall be valued
for the purpose of being placed in the marital portion
at their fair market value as determined as of their
respective dates of distribution to the marital
portion. The Trustees are further authorized, in their
sole discretion, to estimate the size of the marital
portion and to fund that portion subject, however, to
any adjustments which may be required upon final
determination of the federal estate tax on the
Settlor's estate.
(2) Assets to go into the Marital Portion.
Unless and except to the extent that other assets of
the Settlor's estate which qualify for the marital
deduction are not sufficient to satisfy the amount to
be placed in the marital portion in full, the marital
portion shall be satisfied with assets which are
includable in the Settlor'S gross estate for federal
estate tax purposes and which are also subject, by
7
reason of the Settlor's death, to any estate, transfer,
inheritance, legacy, succession or other death tax or
duty imposed by any foreign country or a possession or
political subdivision thereof, or the proceeds from
such assets. The marital portion shall not, under any
circumstances, be satisfied with assets which would not
qualify for the marital deduction or with any unmatured
life insurance pOlicy or in any other manner which
would not qualify for the marital deduction under
applicable law. If the Settlor's estate includes
united States bonds redeemable to pay-the federal
estate tax at more than their market value, any excess
of such bonds over the amount needed to pay said tax
due by reason of the Settlor's death shall be first
used to satisfy the marital portion, whether said bonds
are held in this Trust at the Settlor's death or
subsequently distributed to this Trust from the
Settlor's estate. Any reference in this Agreement to a
distribution of an asset not includable in the
decedent's gross estate for federal estate tax purposes
shall be deemed to include that portion of any asset
partially includable in the decedent's estate that is
not so includable.

(3) Special Treatment for Certain Other Assets.
If any distributions are includable in the Settlor's
gross estate are made from any pension, stock bonus,
profit sharing or other plan or trust funds, retirement
annuity contract, self-employed retirement plan or
individual retirement account, annuity or bond
qualified for special tax treatment under Sections 401,
403, 40B, or 409, or Chapter 73 of Title 10 of the
United States Code or corresponding provisions of
applicable laws, or any death benefits paid by an
employer which are distributions not includable in the
Settlor's gross estate shall be payable to the
Trustees, such distributions shall be added to the non-
marital portion, after being segregated, as provided
herein, if the Settlor's spouse survives the Settlor,
and administered in the same manner as is the non-
marital portion. If the Settlor's spouse does not
survive the Settlor, such distributions shall be held
under the terms of this Agreement as any other property
received from the Settlor's estate. However, where any
distributions not includable in the Settlor's gross
estate are received by the Trustees hereunder from any
such qualified plan, trust, contract, account, annuity
or bond, or received as death benefits paid by an
employer not includable in the Settlor's gross estate,
8
such distributions shall be segregated until such time
as all of the death taxes on the Settlor's estate are
paid in full. The Trustees are prohibited from using
any portion of such distributions for the paYment of
the Settlor's death taxes, debts, administration
expenses of Settlor's estate or Settlor's funeral
expenses. The provisions of this Section 4.02(E) (3)
shall not apply to distributions includable in the
Settlor's gross estate, except insofar as the Trustees,
in their sole discretion, desire to make some or all of
said provisions applicable, and the term "distributions
not includable in the Settlor's gross estate" includes
a distribution received by the Trustees where the
recipient may elect whether to include or exclude said
distribution and has elected to exclude it.
4.03. Disposition of Marital Portion.
(A) Marital Bequest. If the Settlor's spouse survives the
Settlor, the entire marital portion shall be distributed to the
then-current Trustee(s)~of the EVELYN M. FRIES FAMILY REVOCABLE
TRUST dated February~, 1993, as now in effect or as may
hereafter be amended, to be held and disposed of in accordance
with the terms of that Trust.
(B) Disposition of Marital portion in Event of Disclaimer
by Spouse or Spousels Fiduciary. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained in this Agreement, the Settlor's spouse may
disclaim the spouse's rights to all or any part of the Marital
portion. If the Settlor's spouse dies or has a fiduciary (which
term includes, for purposes of this Paragraph 4.03, but is not
limited to, an executor, administrator, conservator, committee,
guardian, curator or tutor) appointed by a court to act for the
spouse within nine (9) months after the Settlor's death and if
the spouse has not fully exercised the spouse's disclaimer
rights, then the spouse's fiduciary may, within the nine (9)
months, file one or more disclaimers on behalf of the spouse and
the estate of the spouse in the same manner as the spouse could
have disclaimed had the spouse been then-living without a
fiduciary acting for the spouse. A disclaimer by the spouse or
the spouse's fiduciary shall be made in one or more written
instruments, signed by the spouse or the spouse's fiduciary, as
the case may be, and delivered to the Trustees within nine (9)
months after the Settlor's death, and in such event the portion
or all of the disclaimed Marital Portion shall pass to and shall
be managed in accordance with the By-pass Trust hereinafter more
fully described in Paragraph 4.04, below.
(C) Restrictions Regarding Marital Portion. It is the
9
intention of the Settlor that the marital portion, established by
Subparagraph 4.02{B}, above, shall qualify for the marital
deduction allowed under the United States Internal Revenue Code.
All questions relating to the administration of the marital
portion shall be resolved accordingly. The Trustees shall have
no power to purchase insurance or annuity contracts or pay
premiums thereon from any of the funds in the marital portion.
If any property unproductive of income is acquired or held in any
trusts set up to qualify for the marital deduction, the Trustees
shall, upon request made at any time by the Settlor's spouse,
sell, exchange or otherwise dispose of said property and acquire
income producing property in lieu thereof. Notwithstanding any
provisions to the contrary contained in or incorporated into this
Agreement, no one shall have the power to make any equitable
adjustments {adjustments to trust corpus or income of both, which
involve a reallocation of assets from the account of one
beneficiary to that of another to compensate for disproportionate
sharing of a tax burden resulting from a tax election} .
4.04. Disposition of Non-Marital Portion; the By-pasS
Trust. The non-marital portion, after compliance with Paragraph
4.02, above, shall be placed in a trust called the By-pass Trust,
to be held and disposed of as follows:
(A) Hold By-pass Trust Undivided Until Death of Spouse. If
the Settlor's spouse survives the Settlor, the Trustees shall
hold the By-pass Trust undivided, until the death of the
Settlor's spouse. The Trustees shall distribute to, or for the
benefit of, the Settlor's spouse, for and during the spouse's
lifetime, so much of the net income and principal from the Trust
as the Trustees, in their sole discretion, shall deem advisable
for the health, education, support and maintenance of Settlor's
spouse, and shall accumulate and add to the principal of the
Trust any of the net income not so expended.
(B) Spouse's Special Power of APpointment. The Settlor's
spouse shall have the power at any time, exercisable either {i}
by instrument or instruments in writing delivered to the Trustees
during the spouse's life, or (ii) by the spouse's will, admitted
to probate within three hundred and sixty-five (365) days from
the spouse's death, specifically referring to this Subparagraph
4.04(B}, to appoint all or any portion of the principal and any
accumulated and accrued income of this Trust, except any pOlicies
of insurance on the life of the Settlor's spouse. Any
appointment made under this Subparagraph 4.04(B} may be upon any
terms and conditions (including further trusts, the beneficiaries
of which are only Settlor's issue and spouses of the Settlor's
issue) to or for the benefit of anyone or more of the Settlor's
issue and spouses of the Settlor's issue. However, no such
10
appointment may be made to the Settlor's spouse, nor to the
estate, the creditors, nor the creditors of the estate of
Settlor's spouse, nor to anyone other than the Settlor's issue
and spouses of the Settlor's issue, nor for the health,
education, support, or maintenance of any children of the Settlor
whom the Settlor or the Settlor's spouse is legally obligated to
support or maintain, nor may any general powers of appointment be
created by the exercise of the special power of appointment
created herein.
(C) Spouse's Limited General Power of APpointment. The
Settlor's spouse is hereby granted the power to appoint a maximum
amount of the principal of this By-pass Trust by instrument in
writing delivered to the Trustees during the spouse's life, to
the spouse, the spouse's estate, the spouse's creditors, or the
creditors of the spouse's estate, or any other individual, in
such proportions and upon such terms (in trust or outright
gifts), as the Settlor's spouse deems advisable. The maximum
amount which Settlor's spouse may appoint under this paragraph,
per calendar year, shall be the greater of $5,000, or five (5%)
per cent of the entire principal of the By-pass Trust. At the
end of each calendar year, the spouse's right to appoint the
maximum amount shall lapse, if not exercised, and the unused
maximum amounts shall not accumulate. This power shall not be
exercisable under the Settlor's spouse's will. If Settlor's
spouse fails, either in whole or in part, to exercise this power
of appointment, herein granted, the unappointed principal shall
continue in trust and shall be administered according to the
terms of this By-pass Trust under this Paragraph 4.04.

(D) Disposition of Remainder of By-paSS Trust. At the
Settlor's spouse's dea'th, to the extent the spouse has not
exercised the spouse's power of appointment under Section
4.04(B), above, or upon the Settlor's death, if the Settlor's
spouse predeceases Settlor, the remaining principal and accrued
income of the By-pass trust shall distributed as follows:
(1) The Trustees shall distribute all of the
Pennsylvania Power & Light stock owned by the Trust,
absolutely, to Settlor's daughter, JEAN F. WADLINGER,

distribute twenty (20%) percent of the remaining trust
11
estate to the Settlor's son, ROBERT SCOTT FRIES, per stires.
If Settlor's son predeceases the Settlor and the Settlor's
spouse, then his share shall be distributed to his then-
living issue, per stirpes. If Settlor's son predeceases the
Settlor and the Settlor's spouse without leaving issue, then
his share shall be distributed to the Settlor's then-living
issue, per stirpes.
(4) After taking into consideration the specific gifts
listed in paragraphs (1) & (2), above, the Trustees shall
distribute twenty (20%) percent of the remaining trust
estate to the Settlor's daughter, JEAN F. WADLINGER, per
stires. If Settlor's daughter predeceases the Settlor and
the Settlor's spouse, then her share shall be distributed to
her then-living issue, per stirpes. If Settlor's daughter
predeceases the Settlor and the Settlor's spouse without
leaving issue, then her share shall be distributed to the
Settlor's then-living issue, per stirpes.
(5) After taking into consideration the specific gifts
listed in paragraphs (1) & (2), above, the Trustees shall
hold twenty (20%) percent of the remaining trust estate, IN
FURTHER SEPARATE TRUST, for the benefit of the Settlor's
daughter, BERNETTA J. FRIES, during her lifetime, or until
the earlier termination of her trust, for the following uses
and purposes:
(a) To pay any part or all of the income to, or for
the benefit of, the Settlor's daughter, BERNETTA J.
FRIES, or to accumulate any part or all of the income,
which in the sole discretion of the Trustees is
determined to be reasonably necessary for the her needs
for health, education, support and maintenance. Any
income not so paid shall be added to the principal of
the Trust. To the extent possible, all payments of
principal or income shall be paid directly to the
third-party for the benefit of the Settlor's daughter
rather than directly to the Beneficiary.
(b) To pay to, or for the benefit of, the Settlor's
daughter at any time or times prior to the termination
of her separate Trust, such sums from or any part or
all of the principal as the Trustees may, in their sole
discretion, determine to be reasonably necessary for
her needs for health, education, support and
maintenance. To the extent possible, all payments of

(c) At such time as the Trustees have determined
that there exist no tax liens, liabilities,
encumbrances, or other debts of any tax authority
against Settlor's daughter, BERNETTA J. FRIES, then the
Trust shall terminate and the entire trust principal
and accrued income shall be distributed to the
Settlor's daughter, BERNETTA J. FRIES, per stirpes.
Upon the death of the Settlor's daughter prior to the
termination of the Trust, the Trustees shall pay the
remaining principal, if any, to her then-living issue,
or if she has no such issue, to the Settlor's then-
living issue, per stirpes, provided that any

Beneficiary's separate trust if a trust is then in
existence.
(6) After taking into consideration the specific gifts
listed in paragraphs (1) & (2), above, forty (40%) percent
of the remaining Trust principal shall be divided into
separate and equal shares and one such share shall be held
by the Trustees, IN FURTHER SEPARATE TRUST, for each of
Settlor's then-living grandchildren (including ZACKARAY T.
MARTIN, LAUREN M. MARTIN, KELLY A. WADLINGER, and AMY E.
WADLINGER, or any grandchildren born to or legally adopted
hereafter by Settlor's children) or for the then-living
issue of any deceased grandchild. If any of Settlor's
grandchildren predecease the Settlor and Settlor's spouse,
without leaving issue, then that grandchild's share shall be
divided equally among Settlor's then-living issue, per
stirpes. The Trustees shall, during the lifetime of each
grandchild or the then-living issue of any deceased
grandchild (herein referred to as the "Beneficiary"), or
until the earlier termination of the Beneficiary's trust,
hold each separate trust for the following uses and
purposes:
(a) During the minority of the Beneficiary, which
Settlor defines as not having attained age twenty-two
(22), to pay any part or all of the income to, or for
the benefit of, the Beneficiary, or to accumulate any
part or all of the income, which in the sole discretion
of the Trustees is determined to be reasonably
necessary for the Beneficiary'S needs for health,
education, support and maintenance. Any income not so
paid shall be added to the principal of the Trust. To
the extent possible, all paYments of principal or
income shall be paid directly to the third-party for
the benefit of the Beneficiary rather than directly to
the Beneficiary.
13
(b) After the Beneficiary has attained the age of
twenty-two (22) years, to pay all of the income to, or
for the benefit of, the Beneficiary in such periodic
installments as the Trustees and the Beneficiary shall
agree, but at least monthly. To the extent possible,
all payments of principal or income shall be paid
directly to the third party for the benefit of the
Beneficiary rather than directly to the Beneficiary.
(c) To pay to, or for the benefit of, the
Beneficiary at any time or times prior to the
termination of the Beneficiary's separate Trust, such
sums from or any part or all of the principal as the
Trustees may, in their sole discretion, determine to be
reasonably necessary for the Beneficiary's needs for
health, education, support and maintenance. TO the
extent possible, all payments of principal or income
shall be paid directly to the third party for the
benefit of the Beneficiary rather than directly to the
Beneficiary.
(d) To pay to, or for the benefit of, the
Beneficiary, upon his attaining the age of thirty (30),
up to one-half (1/2), cumulatively, of the initial
principal of his trust, for the purpose of investing in
a business, purchasing a home provided that the loan-
to-value ratio on the home is no more than seventy-five
(75%) percent, or any other reasonable purpose.
(e) To pay to, or for the benefit of, the
Beneficiary, upon his attaining the age of forty (40),
the entire principal of his trust remaining at that
time.
(f) Upon the death of a Beneficiary prior to his
fortieth (40th) birthday, the Trustees shall pay the
remaining principal, if any, to the predeceased
Beneficiary's then-living issue, or if the Beneficiary
has no such issue, to the Settlor's then-living issue,
per stirpes, provided that any distribution to
Settlor's issue shall be added to the Beneficiary's
separate trust if a trust is then in existence.
ARTICLE v.
POWERS OF TRUSTEES
5.01. General Powers. In addition to such other powers and
duties as may have been granted elsewhere in this Trust, but
subject to any limitations contained elsewhere in this Trust, the
14
Trustees shall have the following powers and duties:
(A) In the management, care and disposition of this Trust,
the Trustees shall have the power to do all things and to execute

ARTICLE XI.
ACQUISITION OF UNITED STATES TREASURY BONDS
ELIGIBLE FOR TAX PAYMENT; PAYMENT OF TAXES,
FUNERAL EXPENSES, AND EXPENSES OF ADMINISTRATION
11.01. Acquisition of Bonds. The Trustees may, at any
time, without the prior approval or direction of the Settlor and
whether or not the Settlor is able to manage his own affairs,
acquire United States Treasury Bonds selling at a discount, which
bonds are redeemable at their par value plus accrued interest
thereon for the purposes of applying the proceeds to the payment
of the United States estate tax on the Settlor's estate; and the
Trustees may borrow from any lender, including themselves, with
or without security, to so acquire these bonds.
11.02. Payment of united States Estate Tax by Bond
Redemption. After the Trustees have complied with the provisions
of Paragraph 4.02, above, by establishing marital and non-marital
portions, the Settlor directs that any United States Treasury
Bonds which may be redeemed at their par value plus accrued
interest thereon for the purpose of applying the proceeds to the
22
payment of the United States estate tax imposed on the Settlor's
estate, and which are held by the Trustees, shall, to the extent
of the amount determined to be required for payment of the estate
tax, be distributed to the legal representative of the Settlor's
estate to be used by the legal representative ahead of any other
assets and to the fullest extent possible to pay the estate tax.
11.03. Payment of Death Taxes and Other Estate Settlement
Costs. After the Trustees have complied with paragraph 11.02,
above, and ascertained from the legal representative that all
such bonds have been redeemed in payment of the United States
estate tax, the Trustees shall also ascertain from the legal
representative whether the legal representative has sufficient
assets to pay the remaining inheritance, estate and other death
taxes or duties (except the additional estate tax imposed by
Section 2032(c), or corresponding provisions of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986 applicable to the Settlor's estate and
imposing the tax), levied or assessed against the Settlor's
estate (including all interest and penalties thereon), all of
which taxes, interest and penalties are hereinafter referred to
as the death taxes, interest and penalties. If the legal
representative advises the Trustees that insufficient funds exist
to pay all the death taxes, interest and penalties, the Trustees
shall then pay to the legal representative from the trust
property remaining after compliance with those provisions of
Paragraphs 4.02 and 4.03, above, an amount equal to all the death
taxes, interest and penalties in excess of the funds available to
the legal representative for this purposes, which payments are to
be made without apportionment. In making the payments, the
Trustees shall use only those assets or their proceeds which are
includable in the Settlor's gross estate for purposes of the
United States estate tax, shall not impair the marital portion
without first exhausting the entire non-marital portion.
If the Settlor's legal representative advises the Trustees
that there are sufficient funds available to pay the death taxes,
interest and penalties, then the Trustees may nonetheless pay to
the legal representative from the trust property remaining after
compliance with the provisions of Paragraphs 4.02 and 4.03,
above, which sets aside the marital portion, all or any portion,
as the Trustees, in their sole discretion, deem advisable and in
the best interests of the Settlor'S beneficiaries named in this
Trust, of (a) any such death taxes, interest and penalties,
whether or not on property held in or payable to the Trust, said
payments to be made without apportionment, (b) the Settlor's
funeral expenses, (c) claims and other debts of the Settlor,
whether allowed against the Settlor's estate or not, (d) expenses
of administering the Settlor'S estate, and, (e) bequests under
any will or codicil executed by the Settlor. In making any such
23
payments, other than to satisfy bequests under any will or
codicil executed by the Settlor, the Trustees shall use only
those assets or their proceeds which are includable in the
Settlor's gross estate for purposes of the United States estate
tax and shall not impair the marital portion without first
exhausting the non-marital portion.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Settlor and Trustees have hereunto
set their hands and seals as of the day and year first above
written.

apportionment otherwise required by law and without being prorated
or apportioned among or charged against the respective devises,

(hereinafter "IRC") Section 2056 or, to the extent, if
any, that said portion is insufficient, then against that
portion of my residuary estate, if any, which does not
qualify for the marital deduction from my taxable estate
