Testamentary Trust I authorize my personal representatives to establish, with the assets of my probate estate, if any, or with any property distributed to my personal representative from my Trustee, a testamentary trust (or trusts) for the benefit of my beneficiaries under the same terms and conditions of my revocable living trust as it exists at the date of my death. I appoint the Trustee and successor Trustee named in my revocable living trust as the Trustee and successor Trustee of my testamentary trust(s). The Trustee of my testamentary trust(s) shall have all the administrative and investment powers given to my Trustee in my revocable living trust and any other powers granted by law. My Trustee shall be under no obligations to distribute property directly to my personal representative, but rather may distribute such property directly to the Trustee of the testamentary trust(s). Any property distributed to my testamentary trust(s) by the Trustee of my revocable living trust shall be distributed by the Trustee of my testamentary trust(s) in accordance with the terms and conditions of my revocable living trust as it exists on the date of my death.

ARTICLE FOUR Payment of Expenses and Taxes and Tax Elections Section 1. Cooperating with the Trustee of My Living Trust I direct my personal representative to consult with the Trustee of my revocable living trust to determine whether any expense or tax shall be paid from my trust or from my probate estate. Section 2. Tax Elections My personal representative, in its sole and absolute discretion, may exercise any available elections with regard to any state or federal tax laws. My personal representative, in its sole and absolute discretion, may elect to have all, none, or part of the property comprising my estate for federal estate tax purposes qualify for the federal estate tax marital deduction as qualified terminable interest property under Section 2056(B)(7) of the Internal Revenue Code. My personal representative shall not be liable to any person for decisions made in good faith under this Section. 2 of 4 Section 3. Apportionment All expenses and claims and all estate, inheritance, and death taxes, excluding any generation-skipping transfer tax, resulting from my death and which are incurred as a result of property passing under the terms of my revocable living trust or through my probate estate shall be paid without apportionment and without reimbursement from any person. However, expenses and claims, and all estate, inheritance, and death taxes assessed with regard to property passing outside of my revocable living trust or outside of my probate estate, but included in my gross estate for federal estate tax purposes, shall be chargeable against the person receiving such property.
