Will
of
Ramesh M. Khona
I, Ramesh M. Khona, also known as Ramesh Manekji Khona, a resident of
Cumberland County, Pennsylvania, revoke any prior wills and codicils made by me and
declare this to be my Will.
Article One
Family Information
I am married to Marian A. Khona. We were married on December 18, 1970.
I have three children. Their names and dates of birth are:
Kishan Ramesh Khona, born on January 21, 1976;
Kristina Ramesh Khona, bom on February 6, 1974; and
Kevin Ramesh Khona, bom on March 8, 1985
All references in my will to "my children" are references to these children.
Article Two
Distribution of My Property
Section 2.01 Disposition of Tangible Personal Property
I direct that my personal representative shall distribute my tangible personal possessions
according to a separate "Personal Property Memorandum" or other similar writing, which
shall be signed by me and kept with my Estate Planning Portfolio. It is my intent that
such writing qualifies to distribute my tangible personal possessions under applicable
state law. If such writing is not found at the time of my death, or ruled an improper
disposition, this bequest shall lapse and my tangible personal possessions shall become
part of my living trust. If any items of tangible personal property I happen to own are not
Will ofRamesh M. Khona
Page 1 of 10 ~ ~
mentioned in such list, such items shall become part of my living trust. If any such girl
shall lapse, then such items shall become part of my living trust.
Section 2.02 Pour-Over to My Living Trust
All of my probate estate, excluding any property over which I might have a power of
appointment, and after payment of expenses and taxes which are paid pursuant to this
will, I give to the Trustee of the Ramesh M. Khona Living Trust dated May 12, 2004, and
executed prior to this will, to be added to the property of that trust and direct that the
Trustee administer the property as provided in the trust agreement and any amendments
prior to my death.
Section 2.03 Establish and Fund Testamentary Trusts
I authorize my personal representative to establish, with the assets of my probate estate, if
any, or with any property distributed to my personal representative from my Trustee,
testamentary 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 Trustees named in my revocable living trust as the Trustee and
successor Trustee of my testamentary trusts. The Trustee of my testamentary trusts 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 is under no obligation to distribute property directly to my personal
representative, but rather may distribute such property directly to the Trustee of the
testamentary trusts. Any property distributed to my testamentary trusts by the Trustee of
my revocable living trust shall be distributed by the Trustee of my testamentary trusts in
accordance with the terms and conditions of my revocable living trust as it exists on the
date of my death.
Section 2.04 Alternate Disposition
If the trust referred to in Section 2.02 is not in effect at my death or if for any other
reason the pour-over cannot be accomplished, I specifically and completely incorporate
the terms of the trust into this will by reference. In such a situation, I direct my personal
representative to establish a trust in accordance with the provisions of such trust and give
the remainder of my estate, excluding any property over which I might have a power of
appointment, to the Trustee of said trust to be administered as provided in the trust
agreement.
(~/ Will ofRamesh M. Khona

Article Three
Designation and Succession of Fiduciaries
Section 3.01 Personal Representative
I nominate Marian A. Khona as my personal representative. If Marian A. Khona fails or
ceases to act as my personal representative, I nominate the following as my successor
personal representatives in the order named:
Kishan Ramesh Khona; and then
Kristina Ramesh Khona
Article Four
Powers of Fiduciaries
Section 4.01 Grant
My personal representative may perform every act reasonably necessary to administer my
estate and any trust established under my will.
Specifically, my personal representative may exercise the following powers: hold, retain,
invest, reinvest, sell, and manage real or personal property, including interests in any
form of business entity including, but not limited to, limited partnerships and limited
liability companies, and policies of life, health and disability insurance, without
diversification as to kind, amount or risk of non-productivity and without limitation by
statute or rule of law. My personal representative may partition, sell, exchange, grant,
convey, deliver, assign, transfer, lease, option, mortgage, pledge, abandon, borrow, loan
and contract. My personal representative may distribute the assets of my estate in cash or
k~nd or partly in each at fair market value on the date of distribution, without requiring
pro rata distribution of specific assets and without requiring pro rata allocation of the tax
bases of such assets. My personal representative may hold in nominee form, continue
businesses, carry out agreements, deal with itself, other fiduciaries and business
organizations in which my personal representative may have an interest. It may establish
reserves, release powers, and abandon, settle or contest claims. It may employ attorneys,
accountants, custodians of the trust assets, and other agents or assistants as deemed
advisable to act with or without discretionary powers and compensate them and pay their
expenses from income or principal or both.
Will ofRamesh M. Khona
Page 3 ofl0 ~ ~
Section 4.02 Powers Granted by State Law
In addition to all of the above powers, my personal representative may exercise all
powers granted under applicable state law, as amended a~er the date of my will. I
incorporate such Act as it exists today by reference and make it a part of my will.
Section 4.03 Distribution Alternatives
My personal representative may make any payments under my will:
Directly to the beneficiary;
In any form allowed by applicable state law for gifts or transfers to minors
or persons under disability;
To the beneficiary's guardian, conservator, or caregiver for the benefit of
the beneficiary; or
By direct payment of the beneficiary's expenses.
A receipt by the recipient for any such distribution, if such distribution is made in a
manner consistent with the proper exercise of my fiduciaries' duties hereunder, shall fully
discharge my fiduciaries.
Article Five
Administrative Provisions
Section 5.01 Court Proceedings
If any trust is established under my will that trust shall be administered in a timely and
efficient manner consistent wi_th its terms, free of active judicial Jnte~ention and without
order, approval or other action by any court. It shall be subject only to the jurisdiction of
a court being invoked by the trustees or other interested parties or as otherwise provided
by law.
Section 5.02 No Bond
I direct that no fiduciary shall be required to give any bond in any jurisdiction, and if,
notwithstanding this direction, any bond is required by any law, statute, or rule of court,
no sureties be required.
Will ofRamesh M. Khona
Page4 ofl0 ~ ~
Section 5.03 Compensation
Any fiduciary under this instrument shall be entitled to reasonable compensation
commensurate with services actually performed and to be reimbursed for expenses
properly incurred.
Section 5.04 Ancillary Fiduciary
In the event ancillary administration shall be required or desired and my domiciliary
personal representative is unable or unwilling to act as an ancillary fiduciary, my
domiciliary personal representative shall have the power to designate, compensate, and
remove the ancillary fiduciary. The ancillary fiduciary may either be a natural person or
a corporation. My domiciliary personal representative may delegate to such ancillary
fiduciary such powers granted to my original personal representative as my personal
representative may deem proper, including the right to serve without bond or surety on
bond. The net proceeds of the ancillary estate shall be paid over to the domiciliary
personal representative.
Article Six
Tax Provisions
Section 6.01 Death Taxes and Payment of Expenses
The trustee of the trust referred to in this will is authorized to pay my funeral and burial
expenses, claims against my estate, and expenses of estate administration. Accordingly, I
direct my personal representative to consult with the trustee to determine the preferable
source for payment of such amounts and which, if any, should be requested from the
trust.
I direct my personal representative to follow any instructions contained in the Ramesh M.
Khona Living Trust in making an)' tax election, including, bat not limited to, the
allocation of'my GST Exemption. I direct that the taxes imposed by reason of my death
upon property passing under and outside my will be apportioned and paid in the manner
provided in the Ramesh M. Khona Living Trust, and I incorporate the tax apportionment
provisions of the Ramesh M. Khona Living Trust as part of my will.
In no event shall any of such taxes be allocated to or paid from property which is not
included in my gross estate for federal estate tax purposes or which qualifies for the
federal estate tax marital or charitable deductions.

income, inheritance, estate, succession, or gift tax law. This authority specifically
includes the power to select any alternate valuation date for death tax purposes and the
power to determine whether any or all of the administration expenses of my estate are to
be used as estate tax deductions or as income tax deductions, and no compensating
adjustments need be made between income and principal as a result of such
determinations unless my personal representative shall determine otherwise, in the
discretion of my personal representative, or unless required by law.

none, or part of thc 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 (the "QTtP Election").
However, such taxes shall not be apportioned to any property included in my gross estate
under Section 2044 of the Internal Revenue Code, to the extent my Trustee or my
personal representative waives any right of recovery granted by Section 2207A and
corresponding provisions of applicable state law.
My personal representative shall not be liable to any beneficiary of my estate for tax
consequences occasioned by reason of the exercise or non-exercise of any such elections
or by reason of the allocation and distribution of property in kind in full or partial
satisfaction of any beneficiary's interest in my estate.

Dear Ms. Khona:
This is in response to your letter of August 18, 2005, concerning the Inheritance Tax
return due in regards to the above referenced estate.
Since it is apparent that you will be unable to file a tax return in the near future, the
estate record will be placed in an informal hold status for an additional period of six (6) months
so that the Department will initiate no enforcement activity. At the end of that period we would
ask that you contact us to provide an updated status for our file.
Thank you for your cooperation and if I may be of any further assistance, please feel free
to contact this office.

For dates of death on or after July 1, 1994 and before January 1, 1995, the tax rate imposed on the net value of transfers to or for the use of the surviving spouse
is three (3) percent [72 ps. 99116 (a) (1.1) (i)).

[72 P.S. 99116 (a) (1.1) (ii)). The statute does not exemot a transfer to a surviving spouse from tax, and the statutory requirements for disclosure of assets and
filing a tax return are still applicable even if the surviving spouse is the only beneficiary.
For dates of death on or after July 1, 2000:
The tax rate imposed on the net value of transfers from a deceased child twenty-one years of age or younger at death to or for the use of a natural parent, an
adoptive parent, or a stepparent of the child is zero (0) percent [72 P.S. 99116(a)(1.2)].
The tax rate imposed on the net value of transfers to or for the use of the decedent's lineal beneficiaries is four and one-half (4.5) percent, except as noted in
72 P.S. 99116(1.2) [72 P.S. 99116(a)(1)].
The tax rate imposed on the net value of transfers to or for the use of the decedent's siblings is twelve (12) percent [72 P.S. 99116(a)(1.3)]. A sibling is defined, under
Section 9102, as an individual who has at least one parent in common with the decedent, whether by blood or adoption.

NOT VALID WITHOUT ORIGINAL SIGNATURE AND IMPRESSED SEAL
Will
of
Ramesh M. Khona
t\)~'
I, Ramesh M. Khona, also known as Ramesh Manekji Khona, a resident of
Cumberland County, Pennsylvania, revoke any prior wills and codicils made by me and
declare this to be my Will.
Article One
Family Information
I am married to Marian A. Khona. We were married on December 18, 1970.
I have three children. Their names and dates of birth are:
Kishan Ramesh Khona, born on January 21, 1976;
Kristina Ramesh Khona, born on February 6, 1974; and
Kevin Ramesh Khona, born on March 8, 1985
All references in my will to "my children" are references to these children.
Article Two
Distribution of My Property
Section 2.01
Disposition of Tangible Personal Property
I direct that my personal representative shall distribute my tangible personal possessions
according to a separate "Personal Property Memorandum" or other similar writing, which
shall be signed by me and kept with my Estate Planning Portfolio. It is my intent that
such writing qualifies to distribute my tangible personal possessions under applicable
state law. If such writing is not found at the time of my death, or ruled an improper
disposition, this bequest shall lapse and my tangible personal possessions shall become
part of my living trust. If any items of tangible personal property I happen to own are not
tJ..- ______
------
Will of Ramesh M. Khona
Page 1 ofl0
~~
mentioned in such list, such items shall become part of my living trust. If any such gift
shall lapse, then such items shall become part of my living trust.
Section 2.02
Pour-Over to My Living Trust
All of my probate estate, excluding any property over which I might have a power of
appointment, and after payment of expenses and taxes which are paid pursuant to this
will, I give to the Trustee of the Ramesh M. Khona Living Trust dated May 12,2004, and
executed prior to this will, to be added to the property of that trust and direct that the
Trustee administer the property as provided in the trust agreement and any amendments
prior to my death.
Section 2.03
Establish and Fund Testamentary Trusts
I authorize my personal representative to establish, with the assets of my probate estate, if
any, or with any property distributed to my personal representative from my Trustee,
testamentary 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 Trustees named in my revocable living trust as the Trustee and
successor Trustee of my testamentary trusts. The Trustee of my testamentary trusts 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 is under no obligation to distribute property directly to my personal
representative, but rather may distribute such property directly to the Trustee of the
testamentary trusts. Any property distributed to my testamentary trusts by the Trustee of
my revocable living trust shall be distributed by the Trustee of my testamentary trusts in
accordance with the tenns and conditions of my revocable living trust as it exists on the
date of my death.
Section 2.04
Alternate Disposition
If the trust referred to in Section 2.02 is not in effect at my death or if for any other
reason the pour-over cannot be accomplished, I specifically and completely incorporate
the terms of the trust into this will by reference. In such a situation, I direct my personal
representative to establish a trust in accordance with the provisions of such trust and give
the remainder of my estate, excluding any property over which I might have a power of
appointment, to the Trustee of said trust to be administered as provided in the trust
agreement.

Article Four
Powers of Fiduciaries
Section 4.01
Grant
My personal representative may perform every act reasonably necessary to administer my

Specifically, my personal representative may exercise the following powers: hold, retain,
invest, reinvest, sell, and manage real or personal property, including interests in any
form of business entity including, but not limited to, limited partnerships and limited
liability companies, and policies of life, health and disability insurance, without
diversification as to kind, amount or risk of non-productivity and without limitation by
statute or rule of law. My personal representative may partition, sell, exchange, grant,
convey, deliver, assign, transfer, lease, option, mortgage, pledge, abandon, borrow, loan
and contract. My personal representative may distribute the assets of my estate in cash or
kind or partly in each at fair market value on the date of distribution, without requiring
pro rata distribution of specific assets and without requiring pro rata allocation of the tax
bases of such assets. My personal representative may hold in nominee form, continue
businesses, carry out agreements, deal with itself, other fiduciaries and business
organizations in which my personal representative may have an interest. It may establish
reserves, release powers, and abandon, settle or contest claims. It may employ attorneys,
accountants, custodians of the trust assets, and other agents or assistants as deemed
advisable to act with or without discretionary powers and compensate them and pay their
expenses from income or principal or both.

By direct payment of the beneficiary's expenses.
A receipt by the recipient for any such distribution, if such distribution is made in a

a court being invoked by the trustees or other interested parties or as otherwise provided
by law.

commensurate with services actually performed and to be reimbursed for expenses
properly incurred.

In the event ancillary administration shall be required or desired and my domiciliary
personal representative is unable or unwilling to act as an ancillary fiduciary, my
domiciliary personal representative shall have the power to designate, compensate, and
remove the ancillary fiduciary. The ancillary fiduciary may either be a natural person or
a corporation. My domiciliary personal representative may delegate to such ancillary
fiduciary such powers granted to my original personal representative as my personal
representative may deem proper, including the right to serve without bond or surety on
bond. The net proceeds of the ancillary estate shall be paid over to the domiciliary
personal representative.
Article Six
Tax Provisions
Section 6.01
Death Taxes and Payment of Expenses
The trustee of the trust referred to in this will is authorized to pay my funeral and burial
expenses, claims against my estate, and expenses of estate administration. Accordingly, I
direct my personal representative to consult with the trustee to determine the preferable
source for payment of such amounts and which, if any, should be requested from the
trust.
I direct my personal representative to follow any instructions contained in the Ramesh M.
Khona Living Trust in making any tax election, including, but not limited to, the
allocation of my GST Exemption. I direct that the taxes imposed by reason of my death
upon property passing under and outside my will be apportioned and paid in the manner
provided in the Ramesh M. Khona Living Trust, and I incorporate the tax apportionment
provisions of the Ramesh M. Khona Living Trust as part of my will.
In no event shall any of such taxes be allocated to or paid from property which is not
included in my gross estate for federal estate tax purposes or which qualifies for the
federal estate tax marital or charitable deductions.

Section 6.02
Tax and Administrative Elections
My personal representative may exercise any available elections under any applicable
income, inheritance, estate, succession, or gift tax law. This authority specifically
includes the power to select any alternate valuation date for death tax purposes and the
power to determine whether any or all of the administration expenses of my estate are to
be used as estate tax deductions or as income tax deductions, and no compensating
adjustments need be made between income and principal as a result of such
determinations unless my personal representative shall determine otherwise, in the
discretion of my personal representative, or unless required by law.
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 (the "QTIP Election").
However, such taxes shall not be apportioned to any property included in my gross estate
under Section 2044 of the Internal Revenue Code, to the extent my Trustee or my
personal representative waives any right of recovery granted by Section 2207 A and
corresponding provisions of applicable state law.
My personal representative shall not be liable to any beneficiary of my estate for tax
consequences occasioned by reason of the exercise or non-exercise of any such elections
or by reason of the allocation and distribution of property in kind in full or partial
satisfaction of any beneficiary's interest in my estate.

RE: Gannett Fleming, Inc.
Pension Plan Benefit
Dear Mrs. Khona:
I am sorry for the recent loss of your husband, Ramesh. My thoughts and prayers are with you in this
difficult time.
The pension benefit has been calculated as payable to you as the spouse of a deceased participant.
The calculations indicate that you would be eligible for a monthly benefit of $2,552.81 per month beginning
July 1, 2004. I will need the following forms from you in order to begin the pension payments:
1. Notice of Death Benefit Form. I will need one signed original returned to my attention. Please
review the information relative to your social security number, date of birth, etc. at the top of the
form, and make any corrections needed. Then sign and date the reverse of the form.
2. Direct Deposit of Pension Payments form. I need this form completed and returned in order
to have your payment processed via direct deposit. If possible, please include a voided
check (if checking account) or deposit slip (if savings account)
3. Federal Withholding Form. I need this form completed and returned in order to have federal
taxes deducted from your monthly payments.
Upon receipt of your properly completed forms, the information will be transmitted to Prudential
Retirement (formerly CIGNA.)
I am currently on a medical disability leave and am in the office very infrequently. If you have any
questions, you may reach me via e-mail at lrosenberqer@qfnetcom, if you have access to e-mail.asldo
check my e-mails frequently. If not, or if you wish to speak with me directly, please contact the office at 717-
763-7212, extension 2226 (Human Resources Department) and they will contact me with the message to call
you. Please let them know a phone number and a good time to reach you, and I will try to get back to you as
promptly as possible. Again, I am sorry for your loss. Please contact me with any questions or concerns.
~Sin~ereIY Yours~,

Alter the administrative and investment powers of my
Trustee;
Reflect tax or other legal changes that affect trust
administration;
Correct ambiguities, including scrivener errors, that might
otherwise require court construction or reformation;
Grant a beneficiary of any trust created under this
agreement the unlimited and unrestricted testamentary
general power to appoint to the creditors of the
beneficiary's estate, or otherwise, any property remaining
in trust with an inclusion ratio greater than zero, which in
the absence of the exercise of a power of appointment
would pass to a skip person for generation skipping transfer
tax purposes.
Notwithstanding the foregoing my Trust Protector shall not amend this
agreement in any manner that would result in a reduction in the estate tax
marital deduction under Section 2056 of the Internal Revenue Code or the
estate tax charitable deduction under Section 2055 to which my estate
Ramesh M. Khona Living Trust
7
would otherwise be entitled or limit or alter the rights of a beneficiary in
any trust assets held by the trust before the amendment.
An amendment made by my Trust Protector in good faith shall be
conclusive on all persons interested in the trust and my Trust Protector
shall not be liable for the consequences of any amendment or for not
having amended the trust. An amendment to this agreement shall be made
in a written instrument signed by my Trust Protector. My Trust Protector
shall deliver a copy of the amendment to the income beneficiaries and my
Trustee.
(I) Not a General Power of Appointment
Notwithstanding any other provision in this agreement to the contrary, my
Trust Protector shall not participate in the exercise of a power or a
discretion conferred under this agreement that would cause my Trust
Protector to possess a general power of appointment within the meaning of
Sections 2041 and 2514 of the Internal Revenue Code. Specifically, my
Trust Protector may not use such powers for his or her personal benefit, or
for the discharge of his or her financial obligations.
(m) Release of Powers
My Trust Protector, acting on its own behalf and on behalf of all successor
Trust Protectors, may at any time, by a written instrument delivered to my
Trustee, irrevocably release, renounce, suspend or reduce any or all
powers and discretions conferred on my Trust Protector by this agreement.
(n) No Duty to Monitor
My Trust Protector shall have no duty to monitor any trust created under

discretions conferred by this agreement on my Trust Protector should be
exercised. Further, my Trust Protector shall have no duty to keep
informed as to the acts or omissions of others or to take any action to
prevent or minimize loss. Any exercise or non-exercise of the powers and
discretions granted to my Trust Protector shall be in the sole and absolute
discretion of my Trust Protector, and shall be binding and conclusive on
all persons. My Trust Protector is not required to exercise any power or
discretion granted under this agreement.
(0) Compensation
Any Trust Protector serving hereunder shall be entitled to receive (but not
required to accept) reasonable compensation for services as determined by
my Trustee. My Trust Protector shall be entitled to reimbursement for all
Ramesh M. Khona Living Trust
8
expenses incurred in the performance of its duties as Trust Protector,
including travel expenses.
Serving in the capacity of Trust Protector shall not prevent my Trust
Protector from also providing legal, investment or accounting services on
behalf of the trust or the trust beneficiaries. If my Trust Protector is
providing legal services, my Trust Protector is entitled to charge its normal
and customary fees for services rendered or to be rendered and in addition
is entitled to be compensated for its services as Trust Protector.

them to be dependent on me for support.
(d) Guidance for My Trustee Regarding Distributions
In making distributions under subsections (a) and (c), my Trustee shall
give consideration first to my needs and the needs of my wife and then to
the needs of those persons dependent on me.
In order to assist my Trustee in exercising its discretionary authority
regarding my care under this Paragraph, I leave the following instructions
by way of illustration and not limitation:
Ramesh M. Khona Living Trust
3
I wish to always remain as self sufficient as possible. My
Trustee shall consider the following preferences for living
arrangements:
It is my desire to remain in my residence as
long as possible, even if my mental or
physical condition is such that I can no
longer provide for myself. My Trustee is
authorized to hire companions, nurses or
others necessary to provide for my needs.
If, due to my mental or physical condition, it
is no longer practical for me to live in my
current residence, then it is my desire that
my Trustee provide a more suitable resi-
dence for me.
If it should become necessary for me to
enter any hospice, nursing home, retirement
center, convalescent home or similar
establishment, it is my desire that the level
of care provided be consistent with
maintaining my maximum degree of
independence.
I direct my Trustee to always consult with
my Health Care Representative appointed
under my Health Care Power of Attorney
regarding the appropriate balance between
quality of care and living arrangements and
economic reality.
I specifically authorize my Trustee to expend any principal
and net income of my trust to accomplish these purposes.
I wish to remain mentally and physically active as long as
possible. I direct my Trustee to provide opportunities for
me to engage in social, recreational, and sports activities,
including travel, as my health permits. Such decisions shall
be made after consultation with my Health Care
Representative. I further direct my Trustee to provide me
with books, tapes, and similar materials consistent with my
interests.
I further direct my Trustee, in cooperation with my Health
Care Representative, to provide for companionship for me
Ramesh M. Khona Living Trust
4
consistent with my needs and preferences. I consider such
continuing interaction to be essential.
I direct my Trustee to consult with my Health Care
Representative regarding all costs of my health care. My
Trustee shall only pay those costs incurred as a result of the
decisions reached by my Trustee and my Health Care
Representative. My Trustee, in its sole and absolute
discretion, is authorized to reimburse my Health Care
Representative for expenses incurred.
I further specifically prohibit my Trustee from expending
any trust funds for medical treatment considered "extraor-
dinary" or "heroic" by my Health Care Representative. The
decision as to whether treatment shall be considered
"extraordinary" or "heroic" shall be in the sole and absolute
discretion of my Health Care Representative, as guided by
the instructions contained in my Health Care Power of
Attorney.
I authorize my Trustee to make pre-need arrangements for
me in accordance with the any written instructions that I
have provided in that regard. If I have not completed any
such written instructions, I authorize my Trustee, after
consultation with my Health Care Representative, to make
any pre-need arrangements considered necessary or appro-
priate.
Finally, my Trustee shall consider any other written instructions dated and
signed by me. Any such instructions shall be incorporated by reference
into this agreement. When making distributions under subsections (a) and
(c), I request, but do not require, that my Trustee, in its sole and absolute
discretion, consider the respective needs of those entitled to receive
distributions. My Trustee may consider other income and resources
available to the beneficiaries when making distributions. My Trustee may
make unequal distributions, distributions to some but not all beneficiaries
or no distributions.
A distribution made to a beneficiary under this Section shall not be
considered an advance and shall not be charged against the share of the
beneficiary that may be distributable under any other provision of this
agreement.

(e) Distributions to Agents under General Durable Power of
Attorney

objectives.
(f) Power to Make Gifts
My Trustee is authorized to make gifts as provided in this subsection.
(1) Continuation of My Gifting
My Trustee is authorized to honor pledges and continue to

Trustee may make gifts in order to assure the continuation
of any gifting program initiated by me prior to the time I
became incapacitated.

interest of the beneficiary, including, without limitation, the
minimization of income, estate, inheritance or gift taxes.
(3) Gifts for Tuition
My Trustee may prepay the cost of tuition for any
remainder or contingent beneficiary named in this
agreement. My Trustee shall make such payments directly
to the educational institution or by establishing and
contributing to a Qualified State Tuition Program
established under Section 529 of the Internal Revenue
Code.
(4) Gifts for Medical Expenses
My Trustee may pay medical expenses for any remainder
or contingent beneficiary named in this agreement as
permitted under Section 2503( e) of the Internal Revenue
Ramesh M. Khona Living Trust
6
Code. My Trustee shall make such payments directly to
the medical provider.
(5) Gift Splitting Authorized
My Trustee is authorized to consent to the splitting of gifts
under Section 2513 of the Internal Revenue Code or under
similar provisions of any state or local gift tax laws.
(6) Gifts by Interested Trustees Limited to
Ascertainable Standards
An Interested Trustee may only make gifts that are
necessary for the health, education, maintenance or support
of the person to whom gifts are made. The Trustee is not
required to consider other income and resources available
to the person to whom a gift is made.
(7) Methods of Making Gifts
My Trustee may make gifts of trust property under this
subsection outright, in trust or in any other manner that my
Trustee, in its sole and absolute discretion, deems
appropriate.
By way of example and without limiting my Trustee's
powers under this subsection, my Trustee is specifically
authorized to make gifts by creating tenancy in common
and joint tenancy interests or establishing irrevocable trusts
including charitable or non-charitable split interest trusts.
My Trustee may make gifts of trust property by
establishing and contributing trust property to corporations,
family limited partnerships, limited liability partnerships,
limited liability companies or other similar entities and by
making gifts of interests in any of those entities.
To accomplish the objectives described in this subsection,
my Trustee may establish and maintain financial accounts
of all types and may execute, acknowledge, seal and deliver
deeds, assignments, agreements, authorizations, checks and
other instruments. My Trustee may prosecute, defend,
submit to arbitration, settle or propose or accept a
compromise with respect to a claim existing in favor of or
against me based on or involving a gift transaction on my
behalf and may intervene in any related action or
proceeding.
Ramesh M. Khona Living Trust
7
My Trustee may perform any other act my Trustee
considers necessary or desirable to complete a gift on my
behalf in accordance with the provisions of this subsection.
(8) Standard for Making Gifts
It is my desire that in making gifts on my behalf, my
Trustee consider the history of my gift making and my
estate plan. To the extent reasonably possible, I direct my
Trustee to avoid disrupting the dispositive provisions of my
estate plan as established by me prior to my incapacity.

Article Five
Administration of My Trust
Upon My Death
Section 5.01
My Trust Shall Become Irrevocable
Upon my death, my trust shall become irrevocable and my social security number may no
longer be used to identify my trust. My Trustee shall apply for a separate taxpayer
identification number for my trust.
Section 5.02
Administrative Trust
After my death and prior to the distribution of trust property as provided in the
subsequent Articles of this agreement, my trust shall be an administrative trust but may
continue to be known as the Ramesh M. Khona Living Trust. My administrative trust
shall exist for a reasonable period of time necessary to complete the administrative tasks
set forth in this Article.
Section 5.03
Payment of My Expenses and Taxes
My Trustee is authorized but not directed to pay from the administrative trust:
Expenses of my last illness, funeral and burial or cremation, including
expenses of memorials and memorial services;
Legally enforceable claims against me or my estate;
Expenses of administering my trust and my estate; and
Court ordered allowances for those dependent upon me.
These authorized payments are discretionary with my Trustee. My Trustee may make
decisions on these payments without regard to any limitation on payment of such
expenses imposed by law and may make payments without obtaining the approval of any
court. No third party may enforce any claim or right to payment against my trust by
virtue of this discretionary authority. My Trustee shall not pay any administrative
expenses from assets passing to an organization that qualifies for the federal estate tax
charitable deduction or to a split-interest charitable trust or from the net income of
property qualifying for the estate tax marital deduction, if such payment would result in a
reduction in the estate tax marital deduction available to my estate under Section 2056(b)
Ramesh M. Khona Living Trust
1
of the Internal Revenue Code or violate the provisions of Treasury Regulation Section
20.2056(b )-4( d).
My Trustee shall pay death taxes out of the principal of the trust property as provided in
Section 5.05. If, however, a probate estate is opened within six months from the date of
my death, my Personal Representative shall pay claims, expenses and death taxes from
my probate estate to the extent that the cash and readily marketable assets included in my
probate estate are sufficient to pay such items unless my Trustee has already paid them.
Section 5.04
Restrictions on Certain Payments from Qualified
Retirement Plans
The "designation date" shall mean September 30 of the calendar year following the
calendar year in which my death occurs, or on or after such other date as shall be
established by Treasury Regulations or other tax law authority as the final date for
determining whether this trust meets the requirements for treatment of the trust's
beneficiaries as if they had been named directly as beneficiary of any qualified retirement
plan payable to this trust.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this agreement or state law to the contrary, my
Trustee may not, on or after the "designation date", distribute to or for the benefit of my
estate, any charity or any other non-individual beneficiary any qualified retirement
benefit payable to a trust created under this agreement. It is my intent that all such
qualified retirement benefits held by or payable to this trust on or after the designation
date be distributed to or held for only individual beneficiaries, within the meaning of
Section 401 (a)(9) of the Internal Revenue Code.
Accordingly I direct that qualified retirement benefits not be used or applied on or after
the designation date for payment of my debts, taxes, expenses of administration or other
claims against my estate or for payment of estate, inheritance or similar transfer taxes due
on account of my death. This paragraph shall not apply to any bequest or expense that is
specifically directed to be funded with qualified retirement benefits.
Section 5.05
Payment of Death Taxes
For the purposes of this Article, the term "death taxes" shall refer to any taxes imposed
by reason of my death by federal, state or local authorities, including but not limited to
estate, inheritance, gift, and direct-skip generation-skipping transfer taxes. For purposes
of this Section, death taxes shall not include any additional estate tax imposed by Section
2031(c)(5)(C), Section 2032A(c) or Section 2057(f) of the Internal Revenue Code or any
other comparable recapture tax imposed by any taxing authority. Nor shall death taxes
include any generation-skipping transfer tax, other than a direct skip generation-skipping
transfer tax.
Ramesh M. Khona Living Trust
2
Except as otherwise provided in this Section or elsewhere in this agreement, my Trustee
shall provide for payment of all death taxes from the administrative trust without
apportionment. My Trustee shall not seek contribution toward or recovery of any such
payments from any individual.
(a) Protection of Exempt Property
In no event shall death taxes be allocated to or paid from any assets that
are not included in my gross estate for federal estate tax purposes.
(b) Protection of the Marital Deduction
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this agreement, no death taxes
shall be paid from or allocated to any property qualifying for the federal
estate tax marital deduction.
(c) Protection of the Charitable Deduction
Notwithstanding anything in this agreement to the contrary, no death taxes
shall be allocated to or paid from any assets passing to an organization that
qualifies for the federal estate tax charitable deduction, or from any assets
passing to a split-interest charitable trust, unless my Trustee has first used
all other assets available to my Trustee to pay the taxes.
(d) Property Passing Outside of My Trust
Except as to qualified retirement benefits, death taxes imposed with
respect to property included in my gross estate for death tax purposes but
passing outside of my trust shall be apportioned among the persons and
entities benefited in the proportion that the taxable value of the property or
interest bears to the total taxable value of all property and interests
included in my gross estate for death tax purposes. The values to be used
for the apportionment shall be the values as finally determined under
federal, state or local law as the case may be.
I direct that no death taxes be apportioned to any property included in my
gross estate under Section 2044 of the Internal Revenue Code to the extent
that my Trustee or my Personal Representative waives any right of
recovery granted by Section 2207 A and corresponding provisions of
applicable state law.
Section 5.06
Coordination with My Personal Representative
The following provisions are intended to help facilitate the coordination between my
Personal Representative, if any, and my Trustee. These provisions apply even if my
Personal Representative and my Trustee are the same person or entity.
Ramesh M. Khona Living Trust
3
(a) Reliance on My Personal Representative
My Trustee may rely upon the written request of my Personal
Representative for payments authorized under this Article and the amounts
included in such payments without computing the sums involved. If a
payment is made under this Article to my Personal Representative, my
Trustee shall not have any duty to inquire into the application of the
payment.
(b) Receipt of Probate Property
My Trustee may accept or decline any distributions of property tendered
to my Trustee by my Personal Representative. As to property deemed
acceptable by my Trustee, my Trustee may accept the property without
audit and without obligation to review the records of my Personal
Representative.
(c) Purchase of Assets from and Loans to My Probate Estate
My Trustee is authorized to purchase and retain, as an investment for my
trust estate, any property that forms a part of my probate estate. My
Trustee may make loans, with or without security, to my probate estate.
My Trustee shall not be liable for any loss suffered by my trust as a result
of the exercise of the powers granted to my Trustee in this subsection.
(d) Discretionary Distributions to My Personal Representative
My Trustee is authorized to distribute to my probate estate, as a
beneficiary of this trust, cash or other trust property, including accrued
income, to whatever extent my Trustee determines it to be in the best
interests of the beneficiaries of my trust.
Section 5.07
Tax Elections
Following my death, I authorize my Trustee to make tax elections as provided in this
Section. If, however, a personal representative is appointed for my probate estate and as
my Personal Representative is the recipient of specific statutorily delegated authority
relative to any tax election, the discretionary authority granted my Trustee relative to the
tax election shall be subordinate to the statutorily delegated authority.
(a) Tax Elections
My Trustee's authority to make tax elections shall include, but shall not be
limited to, the right to choose the alternate valuation date, the right to elect
whether to take administration expenses as estate tax deductions or income
tax deductions, the right to allocate my unused generation-skipping
Ramesh M. Khona Living Trust
4
exemption to all or any portion of the trust property, the right to make
special use valuation elections, and the right to defer payment of all or any
portion of any taxes.
My Trustee may elect to treat my administrative trust as part of my estate
for federal or state income tax purposes or both.
My Trustee may elect to have trust property qualify for the "family owned
business deduction" authorized under Section 2057 of the Internal
Revenue Code. My Trustee may enter into any agreement on behalf of my
trust that is necessary to validly make such election under the Internal
Revenue Code.
My Trustee, in its sole and absolute discretion, may elect to waive, in
whole or in part, my right to have my estate be reimbursed for any tax paid
as a result of the inclusion in my taxable estate of property held in a
qualified terminable interest property (QTIP) trust created for me by my
wife.
My Trustee may make equitable adjustments between income and
principal on account of any tax elections made by my Trustee.
(b) Qualified Terminable Interest Property
My Trustee may elect to have any trust property qualify for the federal
estate tax marital deduction as qualified terminable interest property under
Section 2056(b )(7) of the Internal Revenue Code (the "QTIP Election")
and for any state death tax marital deduction under the law of any state
(the "state QTIP Election"). My Trustee is not required to make the same
election for both federal estate tax purposes and for state death tax
purposes.
My Trustee shall be indemnified and held harmless from any loss, claim
or damage incurred by it as a result of any action taken by a beneficiary
against my Trustee arising out of my Trustee's decision to make or not
make the QTIP election with respect to any portion of the trust property.
My Trustee is expressly authorized to use my trust property to reimburse
any costs or expenses incurred by my Trustee in defending against any
legal action, whether threatened or actual, arising under this provision.
My Trustee may make the special election under Section 2652(a)(3) of the
Internal Revenue Code to treat some or all of the trust property as to which
the QTIP election is made as if the QTIP election with respect to the
property had not been made, making me the transferor of such property for
purposes of the generation-skipping transfer tax. It is my desire that my
Trustee set apart the property to which such election has been made as a
Ramesh M. Khona Living Trust
5
separate trust so that the inclusion ratio of the separate qualified trust, as
defined in the Internal Revenue Code, is zero.
(c) Allocation of GST Exemption
My Trustee may elect to allocate or not allocate any portion of the
available GST exemption under Section 2631 of the Internal Revenue
Code, or a counterpart exemption under any applicable state law, to any
property of which I am the transferor for generation-skipping transfer tax
purposes, including any property transferred by me during my life as to
which I did not make an allocation prior to death. The exercise of such
discretion shall be based on the transfers, gift tax returns and other
information known to my Trustee, with no requirement that allocations
benefit the various transferees or beneficiaries equally, proportionally, or
in any other particular manner.
(d) Qualified Conservation Easements
My Trustee may create a qualified conservation easement, as defined in
Section 2031 (c )(8)(A) of the Internal Revenue Code in any land held by
my trust and make the necessary election provided by Section 2031 (c)( 6).
Section 5.08
Payment of Charitable Bequests
I instruct my Trustee to satisfy all of my charitable gifts and bequests, to the extent
possible, from property that constitutes income in respect of a decedent.

items of tangible personal property and designates the beneficiary of each item. If I
execute a memorandum, the memorandum is to be incorporated by reference into this
agreement to the extent permitted by law.
I direct that upon my death, my Trustee distribute the items of tangible personal property
listed in the memorandum, together with any insurance policies covering such property
and claims under such policies, as provided in the memorandum. Should I leave multiple
written memoranda that conflict as to the disposition of any item of tangible personal
property, the memorandum with the most recent date shall control as to those items that
are in conflict.
If the memorandum can not legally be incorporated by reference, the memorandum shall
then be treated as an amendment to my trust and I request that my Trustee follow my
Ramesh M. Khona Living Trust
3
wishes and distribute the items of tangible personal property listed in the memorandum
according to its terms.,
Section 6.10
Distribution of Remaining Tangible Personal Property
My Trustee shall distribute any tangible personal property not disposed of by a written
memorandum to my wife, if she survives me. If she does not survive me, my Trustee
shall distribute such property to my children but not to their descendants, in shares of
substantially equal value, to be divided among my children as my children shall agree. In
the event that my Trustee determines that a child is incapable of acting in the child's best
interest, my Trustee shall appoint a person to represent the child in the division. If my
children are unable to agree upon the division of the property within 6 months after my
death, my Trustee shall make the division. My Trustee may use a lottery or rotation
system or any other method of allocation to determine the order of selection and
distribution of the property. Alternatively, my Trustee may sell all or any portion of the
property and distribute the net proceeds equally among my living children. My Trustee
shall incur no liability to any party for any decision made by my Trustee with respect to

Section 6.11
Definition of Tangible Personal Property

vehicles, pictures, collectibles, personal wearing apparel and jewelry, books, sporting
goods, and hobby paraphernalia.
My tangible personal property shall not include any property that my Trustee, in its sole
and absolute discretion, determines to be part of any business or business interest owned
by me or my trust.
If my Trustee receives property to be distributed under this Article from my probate
estate or in any other manner after my death, my Trustee shall distribute the property,
free of trust, in accordance with this Article. The fact that an item of tangible personal
property was not received by my trust until after my death shall not affect the validity of
the gift. If property to be distributed under this Article is not part of the trust property
upon my death and is not subsequently transferred to my Trustee from my probate estate
or in any other manner after my death, then the specific distribution of property made in
this Article shall be considered null and void, without any legal or binding effect.

Article Seven
Creation of Trust Shares Upon My Death
If my wife has predeceased me, my Trustee shall administer the remaining trust property
as provided in Section 7.05.
If my wife survives me, my Trustee shall divide the remaining trust property into two
separate shares as provided in Section 7.02(a) and 7.02(b). One share shall be designated
the "Marital Share" and the other share shall be designated the "Non-Marital Share."
Section 7.01
Division of My Trust (No Federal Estate Tax)
If there is no federal estate tax in effect at my death and Section 1022 of the Internal
Revenue Code is in effect, my Trustee shall allocate to the Non-Marital Share assets from
the remaining trust property selected by my Trustee that shall collectively have a
sufficient amount of appreciation to fully utilize the entire aggregate basis increase
allowed under Section I 022(b) of the Internal Revenue Code.
From the remaining trust property, my Trustee shall allocate to the Marital Share trust
property selected by my Trustee that, taking into account any other property passing to
my wife by reason of my death (whether under or outside of this agreement) shall
collectively have a sufficient amount of appreciation to fully utilize the spousal property
basis increase available to my estate under Section 1 022( c) of the Internal Revenue Code.
My Trustee shall then allocate the remaining trust property to the Non-Marital Share.
My Trustee shall administer the Non-Marital Share as provided in Article Ten.
(a) Allocation of Assets
My Trustee shall satisfy the gifts to the Non-Marital Share and the Marital
Share with trust property having the lowest fair market value necessary to
utilize the basis increase allowed under Sections 1 022(b) and ( c) of the
Internal Revenue Code, except I specifically authorize my Trustee, other
than an interested Trustee to depart from this direction if my Trustee
determines that there is good reason to do so. My Trustee may consider
whether an asset is more likely to be sold in the near future than another
asset and whether to preserve certain assets of the trust for future
generations. A Trustee, acting in good faith, shall not be liable to any
beneficiary for exercising or failing to exercise its discretion in making
allocations under this Section.
Ramesh M. Khona Living Trust
1
(b) My Wife's Interest in Community Property
Any interest my wife has in community property that is or becomes trust
property at my death shall be allocated to the Marital Share. My wife
shall have the absolute and unrestricted right to withdraw all of the net
income and trust principal consisting of her community property.
Section 7.02
Division of My Trust (Federal Estate Tax Exists)
If the federal estate tax is in effect at my death, my Trustee shall divide the remaining
trust property into the Marital Share and the Non-Marital Share as provided in this
Section.
(a) Creation of the Marital Share
My Trustee shall allocate to the Marital Share a fractional share of the
remaining trust property calculated as follows:
(1) The Numerator
The numerator of the fraction shall equal the mInimUm
amount that will produce a marital deduction, assuming for
purposes of determining the minimum amount that the
minimum amount qualifies for the marital deduction
allowable in computing such tax, sufficient to reduce the
federal estate tax to the lowest possible amount. In
computing the numerator, my Trustee shall take into
account my gifts (including gifts treated as made by me)
and all deductions, exclusions, credits and reductions in
value allowed in computing such tax; provided, however,
that any state death tax credit shall be taken into account
for this purpose only to the extent that it does not increase
the amount of state death taxes payable.
(2) The Denominator
The denominator shall consist of the value of the remaining
trust property as finally determined for federal estate tax
purposes.
The Marital Share shall carry its pro rata share of the income, provided
that in no event shall the Marital Share receive less income than that
required to be paid to my wife under applicable state law.
Ramesh M. Khona Living Trust
2
(b) Creation of the Non-Marital Share
My Trustee shall allocate the balance of the trust property to the Non-
Marital Share. My Trustee shall administer the Non-Marital Share as
provided in Article Eight.
(c) Funding the Fractional Share
My Trustee shall have complete authority and discretion to satisfy the
fractional gift in cash or in kind, or partly in cash and partly in kind, or in
undivided interests in property. To the extent that there are insufficient
assets qualifying for the marital deduction to fully fund the Marital Share,
the amount of the funding to the Marital Share shall be reduced
accordingly, and I acknowledge that the amount of funding may be
affected by actions of my Trustee and my Personal Representative in
making certain tax elections.
The fraction, once calculated as set forth above, shall be fixed and shall
not vary with changes in the value of the property subsequent to the
valuation date used for federal estate tax purposes. Since the fractional
gift is not intended to be a gift of a specified dollar amount or pecuniary in
nature, my Trustee shall apply the fraction to the assets of the trust at their
actual value on the effective date or dates of allocation so that the actual
value of the fractional share of the trust property resulting from the
application of such fraction will reflect fluctuations in the value of the
trust property.
Allocations of assets by my Trustee shall be limited as set forth below.
(1) Ineligible Assets
My Trustee shall not allocate property or the proceeds of
any property to the Marital Share that does not qualify for
the federal estate tax marital deduction.
(2) Tax Consequences of Certain Allocations
I request that my Trustee always consider the tax
consequences of allocating or distributing to the Marital
Share any policy of insurance that insures the life of my
wife, property subject to the foreign death credit, property
on which a tax credit is available, or property that is income
in respect of a decedent under the Internal Revenue Code.
(3) My Wife's Interest in Community Property
Any interest my wife has in community property that is or
becomes trust property at my death, even though not
Ramesh M. Khona Living Trust
3
included in my gross estate for federal estate tax purposes
and not included in the computation for the fractional share,
shall be allocated to the Marital Share. My wife shall have
the absolute and unrestricted right to withdraw all of the net
income and trust principal consisting of her community
property.
Section 7.03
Further Division of the Marital Share
My Trustee shall divide the Marital Share into two shares, to be designated the Exempt
Marital Share and the Nonexempt Marital Share as provided in this Section. Such
designations shall be effective as of the date of my death.
(a) Creation of the Exempt Marital Share
My Trustee shall allocate to the Exempt Marital Share a pecuniary amount
equal to the amount of my available GST Exemption less the value of the
Non-Marital Share. If the value of the Non-Marital Share is greater than
my available GST Exemption, there shall be no Exempt Marital Share. In
making the computations necessary to determine the amount of the
Exempt Marital Share, my Trustee shall use the value of those assets as
finally determined for federal estate tax purposes.
In the event there is no federal generation-skipping transfer tax in effect,
my Trustee shall allocate all of the Marital Share to the Exempt Marital
Share.
My Trustee shall administer the Exempt Marital Share as provided In
Article Ten.
(b) Creation of the Nonexempt Marital Share
My Trustee shall allocate the balance of the Marital Share to the
Nonexempt Marital Share. My Trustee shall distribute the Nonexempt
Marital Share outright to my wife, free of trust.
(c) Funding the Exempt Marital Share
My Trustee shall have complete authority and discretion to fund the
Exempt Marital Share in cash or in kind, or partly in cash and partly in
kind, or in undivided interests in property.
My Trustee shall value all property allocated in kind to the Exempt
Marital Share in satisfaction of the pecuniary amount at those values as
finally determined for federal estate tax purposes. Provided however, the
aggregate fair market value of the cash and other property allocated to the
Ramesh M. Khona Living Trust
4
Exempt Marital Share must have an aggregate fair market value fairly
representative of the appreciation or depreciation in value to the dates of
sale or dates of distribution of all assets available for distribution to the
Exempt Marital Share.
Section 7.04
Disposition of Property Upon Disclaimer by My Wife
My wife shall have the right within the time and in the manner provided by law to
disclaim any portion or all of the property passing to or for her benefit under this
agreement. If my wife disclaims any portion of the property that would otherwise be
allocated to the Marital Share, my Trustee shall add the disclaimed property to the Non-
Marital Share. Ifmy wife disclaims the interest she has in any portion of the Non-Marital
Share, my Trustee shall dispose of the disclaimed interest under the provisions of this
agreement as though she had predeceased me.
My wife's right to disclaim any portion or all of the property passing to or for her benefit
under this agreement shall either be exercised by my wife personally, or by any fiduciary
or agent appointed by my wife who is specifically empowered to exercise her right to
disclaim by the terms of the appointment, or under applicable law.
Section 7.05
Division of My Trust if My Wife has Predeceased Me
If my wife has predeceased me, my Trustee shall divide the remaining trust property into
Exempt and Nonexempt Shares as provided in this Section.
(a) Creation of the Exempt Share
My Trustee shall allocate to the Exempt Share a pecuniary amount equal
to my available GST Exemption as defined in Article Seventeen. In
making the computations necessary to determine the amount to be
allocated to the Exempt Share, my Trustee shall use those values as finally
determined for federal estate tax purposes.

My Trustee shall have complete authority and discretion to satisfy the
Exempt Share in cash or in kind, or partly in cash and partly in kind, or in
undivided interests in property. All property allocated in kind to the
Exempt Share shall be deemed to satisfy the Exemption Amount on the
basis of its value as finally determined for federal estate tax purposes.
Provided however, the cash and other property allocated to the Exempt
Share must fairly reflect the net appreciation or net depreciation in all the
assets from which the Exempt Share may be funded.

Trustee allocate my available GST Exemption to the Exempt Share.

at least quarter-annually during her lifetime. Nothing contained in this agreement shall

Trust as my Trustee determines is necessary or advisable for her health, education,

Section 8.03
Effect of my Wife's Remarriage on Principal Distributions
Upon the remarriage of my wife, if she is then serving as Trustee of the Exempt Marital
Trust, she shall be removed and shall be replaced as provided in Article Three and all
distributions of principal from the Exempt Marital Trust shall terminate unless my wife
and my wife's fiance execute a valid pre-nuptial agreement that complies with the terms
set forth below. Remarriage, for purposes of this agreement, shall mean any marriage
including a common law marriage entered into by my wife after my death that is valid in
the jurisdiction where the marriage took place.
If my wife should choose to remarry after my death and executes a valid pre-nuptial
agreement not less than thirty (30) days prior to the time of the remarriage that complies
with the following terms, then in my judgment, there will be sufficient protection for the
other beneficiaries named in this trust agreement, and the distributions under this Article
shall not be restricted by reason of such remarriage and she shall not be replaced as
Trustee. The pre-nuptial agreement shall be in writing and signed by my wife and her
fiance with each having been represented by separate legal counsel. Prior to the
execution of the agreement each party shall have made full disclosure of their assets as
they exist at that time. The pre-nuptial agreement shall provide that my wife's fiance
shall waive any right to any portion of my wife's share of her premarital assets, her share

principal remaining in the Exempt Marital Trust among my descendants.
My wife may not exercise this power to appoint trust property to herself, her estate, her

I intend that this testamentary power of appointment be a limited power of appointment
and not a general power of appointment as defined in Section 2041 of the Internal
Revenue Code.
Section 8.06
Separate Share for Disclaimed Property
My Trustee shall hold any property that has become property of the Exempt Marital Trust
as a consequence of a disclaimer by my wife as a separate share of the Exempt Marital
Trust with provisions identical to those contained in the other sections of this Article,
except that with respect to the property of the separate share my wife shall not have the
limited power of appointment that is held by my wife under Section 8.05.
Section 8.07
Qualified Terminable Interest Property
I intend that the property of the Exempt Marital Trust constitute qualified terminable
interest property for purposes of the federal estate tax marital deduction if and to the
extent my Trustee makes the necessary election. This agreement shall be interpreted to
accomplish this intent.
If my Trustee elects to have some but not all of the property in the Exempt Marital Trust
qualify for the federal estate tax marital deduction in my estate, the qualified property and
the non-qualified property shall be separated into separate shares, but each share shall be
held upon identical terms and conditions as if there had been no division. The separate
shares may be invested in a common fund with each share owning a proportionate
fractional share of the fund.

My Trustee shall hold and administer the Non-Marital Share in trust as provided in this
Article. The trust will be referred to as the "Credit Shelter Trust."
Section 9.01
Division of Credit Shelter Trust
My Trustee shall divide the Credit Shelter Trust into two separate shares. The first share
shall be designated the "Exempt Share." The second share shall be designated the
"Nonexempt Share."
(a) The Exempt Share
My Trustee shall allocate to the Exempt Share a pecuniary amount equal
to the amount, if any, of my available GST exemption. If I have no
available GST exemption, my Trustee shall not allocate any property to
the Exempt Share.
I recommend, but do not require, that my Personal Representative or my
Trustee allocate my available GST exemption to the property constituting
the Exempt Share.
If there is no federal generation-skipping transfer tax in effect, my Trustee
shall allocate all of the remaining trust property to the Exempt Share.
(b) The Nonexempt Share
My Trustee shall allocate the balance, if any, of the Credit Shelter Trust to
the Nonexempt share. If my available GST exemption is equal to or
greater than the value of the Credit Shelter Trust, no property shall be
allocated to the Nonexempt Share.
My Trustee shall have complete authority to make allocations between the Exempt and
the Nonexempt Shares of the Credit Shelter Trust. My Trustee may make allocations in
cash or in kind, in undivided interests, or in any proportion thereof between the two
shares.
In making the computations necessary to determine the Exempt Amount my Trustee shall
use those values as finally determined for federal estate tax purposes. Except, however,
all property allocated in kind to satisfy the Exempt Amount shall be valued on the basis
of its value on the date or dates of its allocation to the Exempt Share.
Ramesh M. Khona Living Trust
1
Both shares shall collectively constitute the Credit Shelter Trust. My Trustee shall
maintain separate accounts for the Exempt Share and the Nonexempt Share and shall
administer each share as a separate and distinct trust according to the terms set forth in
this Article. If any allocation under this Article results in the funding of only one Credit
Shelter Trust Share, my Trustee shall administer this agreement as if the other Credit
Shelter Trust Share did not exist.
Section 9.02
Credit Shelter Trust Beneficiary
My wife shall be the only beneficiary of the Credit Shelter Trust during her lifetime.
Section 9.03
Separate Share for Disclaimed Property
To the extent that any property is added to the Credit Shelter Trust as the result of a
qualified disclaimer by my wife, the property shall be held in a separate share of the
Credit Shelter Trust during the lifetime of my wife, and shall be separately administered
in accordance with all of the provisions of this Article except that Section 9.06 and
Section 9.08, which grant my wife a limited power of appointment, shall not apply to the
separate share.
The sole purpose of maintaining the separate share is to keep the disclaimed property,
together with all income from the property that is accumulated in the trust, separate from
the other property of the Credit Shelter Trust over which my wife has a power of
appointment and avoid the possible disqualification of an otherwise qualified disclaimer
under Section 2518 of the Internal Revenue Code.
Section 9.04
Distribution of Income and Principal
Any undistributed net income shall be accumulated and added to principal.
Section 9.05
Guidelines to My Trustee
In making discretionary distributions under this Article, my Trustee should bear in mind
that my primary concern and objective is to provide for the well-being of my wife and the
preservation of principal is not as important as the accomplishment of this objective.
Section 9.06
Lifetime Power of Appointment of Principal
During my wife's lifetime, my Trustee shall distribute as much of the principal to or
among one or more of my descendants as my wife from time to time directs in writing.
Ramesh M. Khona Living Trust
2
My wife shall not exercise this power for the purpose of discharging her legal obligations
or otherwise for her pecuniary benefit.
My wife may not exercise this lifetime limited power of appointment to appoint to
herself, her estate, her creditors, or the creditors of her estate. My wife may not exercise
this lifetime limited power of appointment to create another power of appointment that,
under the applicable local law, can be validly exercised so as to postpone the vesting of
any estate or interest in such property; furthermore, my wife is prohibited from exercising
the power to suspend the absolute ownership or power of alienation of the property, for a
period ascertainable without regard to the date of the creation of the first power.
I intend that this lifetime power of appointment be a limited power of appointment and
not a general power of appointment as defined in Section 2041 of the Internal Revenue
Code.
Section 9.07
Effect of My Wife's Remarriage on Credit Shelter Trust
Distributions
Upon the remarriage of my wife, the Credit Shelter Trust shall terminate unless my wife
and her fiance execute a valid pre-nuptial agreement that complies with the terms set
forth below. Remarriage, for purposes of this agreement, shall mean any marriage
including a common law marriage entered into by my wife after my death that is valid in
the jurisdiction where the marriage took place.
If terminated my Trustee shall administer the balance or remainder of the Exempt Share
of the Credit Shelter Trust as provided in Article Ten and the balance or remainder of the
Nonexempt Share of the Credit Shelter Trust as provided in Article Eleven.
If my wife should choose to remarry after my death and executes a valid pre-nuptial
agreement not less than thirty (30) days prior to her remarriage then, in my judgment,
there will be sufficient protection for the other beneficiaries named in this trust
agreement, and the distributions under this Article shall not be restricted by reason of the
remarriage and she shall not be replaced as Trustee. The pre-nuptial agreement shall be
in writing and signed by my wife and her fiance with each having been represented by
separate legal counsel. Prior to the execution of the agreement each party shall have
made full disclosure of their assets as their assets exist at that time. The pre-nuptial
agreement shall provide that my wife's fiance shall waive any right to any portion of my
wife's share of my wife's premarital assets and my wife's interest in any trust created
under this agreement in the event of dissolution of the marriage, or in the event of the
death of my wife with the new spouse surviving my wife.

descendants.

herself, her estate, her creditors, or the creditors of her estate. My wife may not exercise

of any estate or interest in such property; furthermore, my wife is prohibited from
exercising the power to suspend the absolute ownership or power of alienation of the
property, for a period ascertainable without regard to the date of the creation of the first
power.

Revenue Code.

My Exempt Property
Upon the death of the survivor of my wife and me, my Trustee shall administer my
remaining exempt trust property as provided in this Article.
Section 10.01 Exempt Common Trust
If my youngest living child has not attained 25 years of age, then until my youngest child
has attained 25 years of age, my Trustee shall retain my exempt property in a common
trust (the "Exempt Common Trust") for the benefit of my living children and the living
descendants of any deceased children.
If all of my living children have attained 25 years of age, my Trustee shall administer my
exempt property as provided in this Article.
My Trustee shall administer and distribute the Exempt Common Trust as follows:
(a) Distribution of Income and Principal
My Trustee, other than an Interested Trustee, may distribute to anyone or
more of my living children and the living descendants of any deceased
children as much of the net income and principal of the trust property of
the Exempt Common Trust as my Trustee may determine is necessary or
advisable. If there is no Trustee that is not an Interested Trustee, my
Trustee shall distribute to anyone or more of my living children and the
living descendants of any deceased children as much income and principal
of the common trust as my Trustee determines is necessary or advisable
for their health, education, maintenance or support.
When making distributions under this subsection, I request, but do not
require, that my Trustee consider both the respective needs of my
beneficiaries and the other income and resources available to my
beneficiaries. My Trustee may make unequal distributions among my
beneficiaries or make distributions to some but not all of my beneficiaries
due to any disparity in resources or need.
Unless specifically designated as an advancement by my Trustee as
provided in subsection (b), distributions to a beneficiary shall not be
considered advances and shall not be charged against the share to which
the beneficiary may be entitled under other provisions of this agreement.
Ramesh M. Khona Living Trust

Any undistributed net income shall be accumulated and added to principal
of the Exempt Common Trust.
Any undistributed net income shall be accumulated and added to principal
of the Exempt Common Trust.
(b) Advancements
My Trustee, other than an Interested Trustee, may make advancements by
distributing trust principal to any of my living children for the following
purposes:
To permit a child to enter into or engage in a business or
profession;
To permit a child to purchase a personal residence; or
To pay the expenses for a child's first wedding.
Before making an advancement to any child, I request, but do not require,
that my Trustee consider the respective needs and requirements of all of
the beneficiaries of the Nonexempt Common Trust.
My Trustee shall designate any distribution made under this subsection as
an advancement. A determination by my Trustee as to whether a
distribution is for an advancement under this subsection or is a distribution
under subsection (a) shall be conclusive on all persons.
(c) Guidelines for Discretionary Distributions
It is my desire that to the extent it is reasonably practical, my Trustee
exercise its discretion in making discretionary distributions of income and
principal from the Exempt Common Trust to ensure that my younger
children are provided with the same advantages that may have been
provided for my older children.
(d) Preservation of Exempt Common Trust
I request, but do not require, that my Trustee consider making principal
distributions from the Nonexempt Common Trust, if one exists, until the
Nonexempt Common Trust is exhausted, and only thereafter from the
principal of the Exempt Common Trust.
(e) Provisions for Guardians
If a child or the descendant of a deceased child resides in the home of a
guardian or relative, my Trustee shall furnish as much property of the
Exempt Common Trust as my Trustee deems necessary or advisable to
Ramesh M. Khona Living Trust
2
assist the guardian or relative in providing comfortable care and housing
for the child or the descendant of a deceased child.
For example, my Trustee may furnish trust property to the guardian or
relative to purchase a more suitable home in which to accommodate the
child or the descendant of a deceased child or to improve the home of the
guardian or relative for the purpose of accommodating the child or the
descendant of a deceased child. My Trustee may also furnish trust
property to the guardian or relative to purchase personal property that is
necessary or desirable to care for the child or the descendant of a deceased
child.
Notwithstanding anything in this agreement to the contrary, if the guardian
or relative is also serving as my Trustee under this agreement, another
Trustee, other than the guardian or relative, shall exercise the discretion
permitted under this subsection. The guardian or relative shall have no
authority and shall not participate in any decision to furnish trust property
as provided in this subsection.
(f) Termination of the Exempt Common Trust
The Exempt Common Trust shall terminate when I have no living children
under the age of 25 years. Upon termination, my Trustee shall administer
the principal and any accrued and undistributed net income as provided
below.
Section 10.02 Division of My Exempt Property
My Trustee shall divide my exempt property into separate exempt shares for my
descendants, per stirpes.
(a) Adjustments for Advancements
In determining the value of each share, my Trustee shall add to the value
of my exempt property the value of all advancements, if any, made from
the Exempt Common Trust under Section 10.02. My Trustee shall use
the resulting total to calculate the value of the shares created under this
Section.
My Trustee shall reduce the share of each living child by the value of each
advancement, if any, made to the child from the Exempt Common Trust
under Section 10.0 I (b) using the value of the property distributed as of the
date of its distribution. My Trustee shall reduce the share of a descendant
of a deceased child pro rata by each advancement made to his or her
parent. If the amount of the reduction exceeds the value of the share of
any beneficiary, that beneficiary shall receive nothing, but that beneficiary
Ramesh M. Khona Living Trust
3
shall have no duty to refund any advancement that exceeds the value of
the original share.
(b) Exempt Separate Shares
My Trustee shall administer the exempt share for each of my living
children as a separate share for the benefit of the child as provided in the
Sections that follow. My Trustee shall administer the exempt share for

descendants.
Any undistributed net income shall be accumulated and added to principal.

my desire to provide for their well-being and happiness. Although I
request that my Trustee consider the other known resources available to
the beneficiaries before making distributions, I also request that my
Trustee be liberal in making any distributions to, or for the benefit of, the
beneficiaries. I acknowledge that the principal of the exempt trust
established for Kishan Ramesh Khona may be exhausted in making such
distributions.

have the testamentary general power to appoint all or any portion of the
principal and undistributed income remaining in the beneficiary's trust at
his or her death among one or more persons or entities, including the
creditors of the beneficiary's estate. The beneficiary shall have the sole
and exclusive right to exercise this general power of appointment.
I intend that this testamentary power of appointment be a general power of
appointment as defined in Section 2041 of the Internal Revenue Code.
If the beneficiary fails to validly exercise this testamentary general power
of appointment, my Trustee shall distribute the balance of his or her trust
property to the then living descendants of the beneficiary, per stirpes.
If the beneficiary has no then living descendants, my Trustee shall
distribute the beneficiary's remaining trust property per stirpes to the
living descendants of the beneficiary's nearest lineal ancestor who was my
descendant or if no such descendant is then living, to my then living
descendants, per stirpes.
If I have no then living descendants, my Trustee shall distribute the
remaining trust property as provided below.

Section 13.03 Special Needs Beneficiary
If trust property becomes distributable to any beneficiary when the beneficiary is under
any form of legal disability as defined herein, and when the beneficiary is or would be
eligible for public assistance benefits but for the distribution provide for in this agreement
(as determined in the sole and absolute discretion of my Trustee), my Trustee shall retain
that beneficiary's share in a separate trust, as follows:
(a) Distributions for Special Needs
My Trustee, sole, absolute and umeviewable discretion, may distribute
discretionary amounts of net income and principal for special needs not
otherwise provided by governmental financial assistance and benefits, or
by the providers of services.
"Special needs" refers to the requisites for maintaining the good health,
safety, and welfare of the beneficiary when, in the discretion of my
Trustee, such requisites are not being provided by any public agency,
office, or department of any state or of the United States.
"Special needs" shall also include, but not be limited to, medical and
dental expenses, annual independent checkups, clothing and equipment,
programs of training, education, treatment and rehabilitation, private
residential care, transportation (including vehicle purchases), maintenance,
insurance, and essential dietary needs. "Special needs" may include
spending money; additional food; clothing; electronic equipment such as
radios, record players, television sets, computer equipment; camping;
vacations; athletic contests; movies; trips; and money to purchase
appropriate gifts for relatives and friends.
My Trustee shall have no obligation to expend trust assets for such needs,
but if my Trustee, in its sole, absolute and umeviewable discretion,
decides to expend trust assets, under no circumstances should any amounts
be paid to, or reimbursed to, the federal government, any state, or any
governmental agency for any purpose, including for the care, support, and
maintenance of the beneficiary.
(b) Objective to Promote Independence of the beneficiary
While actions are in my Trustee's sole, absolute and umeviewable
discretion, all parties to this trust agreement should be mindful that it is
my wish that the beneficiary live as independently, productively, and as
happily as possible.

(c) Trust Assets not to be Considered Available Resource
to the beneficiary
The intent of this Trust is to supplement any benefits received, or for
which the beneficiary may be eligible, through or from various
governmental assistance programs and not to supplant any such benefits.
All actions of my Trustee shall be directed toward carrying out this intent
and the discretion granted my Trustee under this agreement to carry out
this intent is absolute.
For purposes of determining the beneficiary's eligibility for any such
benefits, no part of the principal or undistributed income of the trust estate
shall be considered available to the beneficiary for public benefit
purposes. The beneficiary shall not be considered to have access to
principal or income of the trust, and the beneficiary has no ownership,
right, authority, or power to convert any asset into cash for the
beneficiary's own use.
My Trustee shall hold, administer, and distribute all property allocated to
the trust for the exclusive benefit of the beneficiary during his or her
lifetime. All distributions from this trust share are in the sole and absolute
discretion of my Trustee, and the beneficiary is legally restricted from
demanding trust assets for his or her support and maintenance.
In the event my Trustee is requested to release principal or income of the
trust to or on behalf of the beneficiary to pay for equipment, medication,
or services that any government agency is authorized to provide, or in the
event my Trustee is requested to petition a court or any other
administrative agency for the release of trust principal or income for this
purpose, my Trustee is authorized to deny such request and is authorized
in its discretion to take whatever administrative or judicial steps may be
necessary to continue the beneficiary's eligibility for benefits, including
obtaining legal advice about the beneficiary's specific entitlement to
public benefits and obtaining instructions from a court of competent
jurisdiction ruling that the trust corpus is not available to the beneficiary
for eligibility purposes. Any expenses of my Trustee in this regard,
including reasonable attorneys' fees, shall be a proper charge to the trust
estate.
(d) Distribution Guidelines
My Trustee shall be responsible for determining what discretionary
distributions shall be made from this trust and may use a Care Manager in
accordance with the provisions of this Section. My Trustee may distribute
discretionary amounts of principal to or for the benefit of the beneficiary
for those special needs not otherwise provided by governmental financial
Ramesh M. Khona Living Trust
4
assistance and benefits, or by the providers of services. Any undistributed
income shall be added to principal. In making distributions, my Trustee:
Shall consider any other known income or resources of the
beneficiary that are reasonably available;
Shall take into consideration all entitlement benefits from
any government agency, such as Social Security disability
payments, Medicare, Medicaid (or any state Medicaid
program equivalent), Supplemental Security Income (SSI),
In-Home Support Service (IHSS) and any other special
purpose benefits for which the beneficiary is eligible;
Shall take into consideration resource and income
limitations of any such assistance program;
Shall make expenditures so that the beneficiary's standard
of living will be comfortable and enjoyable;
Shall not be obligated to or compelled to make specific
payments;
Shall not payor reimburse any amounts to any
governmental agency or department, unless proper demand
is made by such governmental agency and reimbursement
is required by the state; and
Shall not be liable for any loss of benefits.
(e) Use of Care Manager
My Trustee shall have the option of utilizing the services of a Care
Manager to assist in advising on how best to provide for the beneficiary's
needs. The primary objective of the Care Manager shall be to assist my
Trustee to carry out the intentions of this agreement to ensure that the
beneficiary maintains a safe living situation, receives counseling services
when appropriate and lives as independently as possible.
A Care Manager shall be a professional Clinical Licensed Social Worker,
Professional Conservator, or care management agency that has experience
in the field of assessment of conditions similar to those of the beneficiary
and is familiar with the public benefits to which the beneficiary may be
entitled.
(f) Distribution Advisement
The Care Manager shall advise my Trustee concerning discretionary
distributions to be made from the trust that are helpful and appropriate for
Ramesh M. Khona Living Trust
5
the beneficiary's needs including paYment for medical care, counseling
services, and daily support.
(g) Care Manager Account for Periodic Payments
The Care Manager may from time to time establish periodic paYments for
part or all of the paYments authorized under this agreement and maintain a
separate bank account for disbursement by the Care Manager. Any
account shall be carried in the name of the trust and shall have the Trust's
federal tax identification number. At least monthly, the Care Manager
shall provide information on receipts and disbursements from this account
to my Trustee. This account shall contain no more than an amount
reasonably necessary for the beneficiary's needs for a period of sixty (60)
days.
My Trustee shall not be held liable for any actions of the Care Manager
unless my Trustee has actual knowledge of the Care Manager's propsed
actions before such actions were actually taken. The Care Manager shall
not make any distributions that may cause a reduction of public benefits
unless my Trustee has consented to the distribution.
(h) Annual Care Plan
If my Trustee uses a Care Manager, the Care Manager shall provide to my
Trustee, at least annually, a written care plan for purposes of evaluation of
the beneficiary's medical and psychosocial status. The care plan shall
include recommendations concerning resources and services beneficial to
the beneficiary.
(i) Quarterly Assessments
If my Trustee uses a Care Manager, the Care Manager shall, at least
quarterly, visit the beneficiary to assess his or her physical and emotional
needs including the appropriateness of present placement, monitoring
attendant care, accessing required resources, making and keeping medical
appointments, and accessing socialization activities.
(j) Compensation of the Care Manager
The Care Manager shall be entitled to fair and reasonable compensation
for the services it renders. The amount of compensation shall be an
amount equal to the customary and prevailing charges for services of a
similar nature during the same period of time and in the same geographic
locale.

(k) The Resignation of a Care Manager
Any Care Manager may resign by giving thirty (30) days' written notice to
my Trustee.
(I) Replacement of Care Manager
My Trustee may terminate the Care Manager without cause and name a
replacement. If the Care Manager named herein cannot serve for any
reason, my Trustee may name a replacement, which may begin to serve
immediately. If the Care Manager must be replaced, then the successor
Care Manager shall also be a professional Clinical Licensed Social
Worker, Professional Conservator, or care management agency who has
experience in the field of assessment of conditions similar to those of the
beneficiary and is familiar with the public benefits to which the
beneficiary may be entitled.
(m) No Seeking of Order to Distribute
For purposes of detennining the beneficiary's state Medicaid program
equivalent eligibility, no part of the principal or undistributed income of
the trust estate shall be considered available to the beneficiary. My
Trustee shall deny any request by the beneficiary to (1) release principal or
income of the trust to or on behalf of him or her to pay for equipment,
medication, or services that the state Medicaid program equivalent would
provide if the trust did not exist; or (2) petition a court or any other
administrative agency for the release of trust principal or income for this
purpose. My Trustee may, in its sole, absolute and unreviewable
discretion, take necessary administrative or legal steps to protect the
beneficiary's state Medicaid program equivalent eligibility, including
obtaining a ruling from a court of competent jurisdiction that the trust
principal is not available to the beneficiary for purposes of determining
state Medicaid program equivalent eligibility. Expenses for this purpose,
including reasonable attorneys' fees, will be a proper charge to the trust
estate.
(n) Indemnification of Trustee When Acting in Good Faith
My Trustee shall be indemnified from the trust property for any loss or
reduction of public benefits sustained by the beneficiary as a result of my
Trustee exercising, in good faith, the authority granted to my Trustee
under this Section.

(c) Distributions from Qualified Retirement Plans to the
Exempt Marital Trust
If the Exempt Marital Trust becomes the beneficiary of death benefits
under any qualified retirement plan, each year, beginning with the year of
my death, my Trustee must withdraw at least the greater of:
The net income earned on the Exempt Marital Trust's share of the
plan during the year; and
The required minimum distribution required to be withdrawn from
the Exempt Marital Trust's share of the plan under Section
401(a)(9) of the Internal Revenue Code.

Trust's share of the plan as my Trustee deems advisable; but only if the
dispositive terms of the trust authorize my Trustee to immediately
distribute the withdrawn amount as provided in this subsection. My
Trustee shall immediately distribute all net amounts withdrawn to my
wife.
If my wife is then deceased, my Trustee shall instead distribute to the
remainder beneficiary, the amount which would have been distributed to
my wife had she then been living.

Unless a Trustee has received notice of removal, the Trustee shall not be liable to me or

have been, but for the prior removal of the Trustee, a proper exercise by the Trustee of
the authority granted to the Trustee under this agreement.
Any Trustee may request and obtain from the beneficiaries or from their legal

A testamentary power of appointment granted under this agreement may be exercised by
valid will that specifically refers to this power of appointment. The holder of a
testamentary power of appointment may exercise the power to appoint property among
the permissible appointees in equal or unequal proportions, and on such terms and
conditions, whether outright or in trust, as the holder of the power designates. Except
where this agreement specifically provides otherwise, the holder of a testamentary power
of appointment may grant further powers of appointment to any person to whom
principal may be appointed, including a presently exercisable limited or general power of
appointment.
My Trustee may conclusively presume that any power of appointment granted to any

power within 3 months after the beneficiary's death.
Section 15.08 Determination of Principal and Income

income rather than principal.

accounting periods with regard to the trust property.

Except to the extent required by law, my Trustees shall not be required to file annual
accounts with any court or court official in any jurisdiction.
Upon the written request of a beneficiary, my Trustee shall render an accounting at least
annually to the income beneficiaries of the trust during the accounting period that
includes the date of the written request. The accounting shall include the receipts,
disbursements, and distributions occurring during the accounting period and a balance
sheet of the trust property if no tax return is filed, or may consist just of the tax return for
the accounting period if a tax return is filed for the trust.
In the absence of fraud or manifest error, the assent by all income beneficiaries to an
accounting of an Independent Trustee shall make the matters disclosed in the accounting
binding and conclusive upon all persons, both those in existence on the date of this
agreement and those to be born in the future who have, or will in the future have, a vested
or contingent interest in the trust property. In the case of a minor or incapacitated
beneficiary, that beneficiary's natural guardian or legal representative shall give the assent
required under this Section.
The failure of any person to object to any accounting by giving written notice to my
Trustee within 60 days of the person's receipt of a copy of the accounting shall be
deemed to be an assent by such person.
The trust's financial records and documentation shall be available at reasonable times and
upon reasonable notice for inspection by trust beneficiaries and their representatives. My
Trustee shall not be required to furnish trust information regarding my trust to any
individual, corporation, or other entity that is not a beneficiary or the representative of a
beneficiary, and is not requesting the information pursuant to a valid court order.
Section 15.10 Action of Trustees; Disclaimer
Unless otherwise provided in this agreement, whenever I am serving as Trustee, I may
make all decisions and exercise all powers and discretions granted to my Trustee under

serving together as Cotrustees, she may make all decisions and exercise all powers and
Ramesh M. Khona Living Trust
4
discretions granted to my Trustee under this trust created under this agreement without
the consent of any other Trustee.
When I am not serving as a Trustee, if two Trustees are eligible to act with respect to a
given matter, the concurrence of both shall be required for action to be taken; if more
than two Trustees are eligible to act with respect to a given matter, the concurrence of a
majority of my Trustees shall be required for action to be taken.
A nonconcurring Trustee may dissent or abstain from a decision of the majority. A
Trustee shall be absolved from personal liability by registering its dissent or abstention in
the records of the trust. After doing so, the dissenting Trustee shall then act with my
other Trustees in any way necessary or appropriate to effectuate the decision of the
majority.
Notwithstanding any proVISIOn of this agreement to the contrary, any Trustee may
disclaim or release, in whole or in part, by an instrument in writing, any power it holds as
Trustee, irrevocably or for any period of time that the Trustee may specify. The Trustee
may make the relinquishment of a power personal to the Trustee or may relinquish the
power for all subsequent Trustees.
Section 15.11 Delegation of Trustee Authority; Power of Attorney
Subject to the limitations set forth in this agreement, any Trustee may, by an instrument
in writing, delegate to any other Trustee the right to exercise any power (including a
discretionary power) granted my Trustee in this agreement. During the time a delegation
under this Section is in effect, the Trustee to whom the delegation was made may
exercise the power to the same extent as if the delegating Trustee had personally joined in
the exercise of the power. The delegating Trustee may revoke the delegation at any time
by giving written notice ofrevocation to the Trustee to whom the power was delegated.
Unless a Trustee elects otherwise in a written instrument delivered to the other Trustees,
whenever I am not serving as a Trustee, if two or more Trustees are serving, anyone
Trustee may sign any checks, agreements or other documents on behalf of the trust with
the same force and effect as if all Trustees had signed. Persons dealing with the signing
Trustee in good faith may rely upon the signing Trustee's authority to act on behalf of the
trust without inquiry as to the other Trustees' acquiescence to such action.
My Trustee may execute and deliver a revocable or irrevocable power of attorney
granting any individual or entity the power to transact any and all business on behalf of
my trust or any other trust created under this agreement. The power of attorney may
grant to the attorney-in-fact all of the rights, powers, and discretion that my Trustee is
entitled to exercise under this agreement.

Section 15.12 Additions to Separate Trusts
If upon the termination of any trust created under this agreement a final distribution is to
be made to a person who is the only beneficiary of another trust created under this
agreement, my Trustee shall make the distribution to the second trust instead of
distributing the property to the beneficiary outright. For purposes of administration, my
Trustee shall treat the distribution as though it had been an original part of the second
trust.
Section 15.13 Authority to Merge or Sever Trusts
My Trustee may merge and consolidate a trust created under this agreement with any
other trust, if the two trusts contain substantially the same terms for the same
beneficiaries and at least one Trustee in common.
My Trustee may administer the merged and consolidated trust as a single trust or unit. If,
however, a merger or consolidation does not appear feasible, my Trustee may consolidate
the assets of the trusts for purposes of investment and trust administration while retaining
separate records and accounts for each respective trust.
My Trustee may sever any trust on a fractional basis into two or more separate and
identical trusts or may segregate a specific amount or asset from the trust property by
allocation to a separate account or trust. Income earned on a segregated amount or
specific asset after the segregation passes with the amount or asset segregated. My
Trustee shall hold and administer each separate trust upon terms and conditions
substantially identical to those of the trust from which it was severed.
Subject to the terms of the trust, my Trustee may consider differences in federal tax
attributes and other pertinent factors in administering the trust property of any separate
account or trust, in making applicable tax elections, and in making distributions. A
separate trust created by severance must be treated as a separate trust for all purposes
from the date on which the severance is effective; however, the effective date of
severance may be retroactive to a date before the date on which my Trustee exercises the
power.
Section 15.14 Authority to Terminate Trusts
If, at any time, my Trust Protector determines that a trust created under this agreement is
no longer economical or is otherwise inadvisable to administer as a trust, or if my Trust
Protector deems it to be in the best interest of my beneficiaries, my Trust Protector,
without further responsibility, may terminate the trust and distribute the trust property,
including any undistributed net income, in the following order of priority:
To me, if! am then living;
Ramesh M. Khona Living Trust
6
If I am not then living, to my wife, if then a beneficiary of the trust;
If! am not then living and my wife is not then a beneficiary of the trust, to
the beneficiaries then entitled to mandatory distributions of net income of
the trust and in the same proportions; and
If none of the beneficiaries are entitled to mandatory distributions of net
income, to the beneficiaries then eligible to receive discretionary
distributions of net income of the trust, in such amounts and shares as my
Trust Protector may determine.
Section 15.15 Discretionary Distribution to Fully Utilize Basis Increase
Upon Death of Beneficiary
This Section shall apply during any time there is no federal estate tax In effect and
Section 1022 of the Internal Revenue Code is in effect.
If I have given my Trustee the authority to make distributions of principal to the
beneficiary of a trust, my Trustee, other than an Interested Trustee, may, from time to
time, distribute to the beneficiary as much of the principal of the trust as such Trustee
may determine is advisable so that upon the death of the beneficiary the estate of the
beneficiary will have sufficient appreciated assets to fully utilize the aggregate basis
increase allowed under Section 1022, excluding the additional basis increase for property
acquired by a surviving spouse under Section 1022(c).
Before making a distribution of property under this Section, I request, but do not require
that the Trustee determine whether there is a good reason to retain the property in trust
such as whether or not the asset may be sold in the near future, the need for creditor
protection by the beneficiary, protection of the beneficiary from failed marriages and
protection of the asset for future generations. My Trustee shall not be liable to any
beneficiary for the exercising or failing to exercise its discretion to make a distribution
under this Section.
Section 15.16 Discretionary Distributions to Spouse
In addition to the distributions authorized in the preceding Section as well as in previous
articles, my Trustee, other than an Interested Trustee, in its sole and absolute discretion,
may distribute principal of the Exempt Marital Trust under this agreement to my wife to
assist my wife in achieving my wife's estate planning objectives and may distribute
principal of the Exempt Marital Trust to my wife for any other purpose that my Trustee
deems advisable and consistent with such intent.
Nothing contained in this Section shall require, nor may my Trustee require, my wife to
transfer any distributions to third parties.
Ramesh M. Khona Living Trust

Section 15.17 Merger of Corporate Fiduciary
If any corporate fiduciary acting as my Trustee under this agreement is merged with or
transfers substantially all of its trust assets to another corporation or if a corporate
fiduciary changes its name, the successor shall automatically succeed to the trusteeship as
if originally named a Trustee. No document of acceptance of trusteeship shall be
required.
Section 15.18 Beneficiary's Status
Until my Trustee receives notice of the incapacity, birth, marriage, death or other event
upon which a beneficiary's right to receive payments may depend, my Trustee shall not
be liable for acting or failing to act with respect to the event or for disbursements made in
good faith to persons whose interest may have been affected by such event. Unless
otherwise provided in this agreement, the parent or legal representative may act on behalf
of a beneficiary who is a minor or is incapacitated.
My Trustee may rely on any information provided by a beneficiary with respect to the
beneficiary's assets and income. My Trustee shall have no independent duty to
investigate the status of any beneficiary and shall not incur any liability for failure to do
so.
Section 15.19 Discharge of Third Persons
Persons dealing in good faith with my Trustee shall not be required to see to the proper
application of money paid or property delivered to my Trustee, or to inquire into the
authority of my Trustee as to any transaction. The receipt from my Trustee for any
money or property paid, transferred or delivered to my Trustee shall be a sufficient
discharge to the person or persons paying, transferring or delivering the money or
property from all liability in connection with its application.
Section 15.20 Certificate by Trustee
A written statement of my Trustee may always be relied upon by, and shall always be
conclusive evidence in favor of, any transfer agent or any other person dealing in good
faith with my Trustee in reliance upon the statement.
Section 15.21 Funeral and Other Expenses of Beneficiary
Upon the death of an income beneficiary my Trustee may pay the funeral expenses,
burial or cremation expenses, enforceable debts and other expenses incurred due to the
death of the beneficiary from trust property. This Section shall only apply to the extent
Ramesh M. Khona Living Trust
8
the income beneficiary has not exercised any testamentary power of appointment granted
to him under this agreement.
My Trustee may rely upon any request by the personal representative or members of the
family of the deceased beneficiary for payment without verifying the validity or the
amounts and without being required to see to the application of the amounts so paid. My
Trustee may make decisions under this Section without regard to any limitation on
payment of expenses imposed by statute or rule of court and may be made without
obtaining the approval of any court having jurisdiction over the administration of the
deceased beneficiary's estate.
Section 15.22 Marital Deduction Qualification
I intend that the marital gift as described in Article Seven of this agreement qualify for
the federal estate tax marital deduction, and the provisions of this agreement shall be
construed to reflect this intent. To the extent that giving effect to a provision of this
agreement would result in the marital gift not qualifying for the federal estate tax
unlimited marital deduction, that provision shall be ineffective except to the extent my
Trustee or personal representative elects that all or a portion of the marital gift not qualify
for the unlimited marital deduction.
Section 15.23 Generation-Skipping Tax Provisions
Notwithstanding any other provision of this agreement to the contrary, if a trust created
under this agreement would be partially exempt from generation-skipping tax after the
intended allocation of GST exemption as defined in Section 2631 of the Internal Revenue
Code to the trust then:
(a) Division into Exempt and Nonexempt Trusts
My Trustee may divide the property of the trust into two separate trusts so
that the allocation of GST exemption can be made to a trust that will be
entirely exempt from generation-skipping transfer tax (the "exempt trust").
The exempt trust shall consist of the largest fractional share of the total
trust assets that will permit the exempt trust to be entirely exempt from
generation-skipping transfer tax. The "nonexempt trust" shall consist of
the balance of the total trust assets. For purposes of computing the
fractional share, asset values as finally determined for federal estate tax
purposes shall be used. The fraction shall be applied to the assets at their
actual value on the effective date or dates of distribution so that the actual
value of the fractional share resulting from the application of such fraction
will include fluctuations in the value of the trust property.
Ramesh M. Khona Living Trust
9
(b) Administration of the Trusts
The trusts created under this Section shall have the same terms as the
original trust. To the extent possible, distributions to a non-skip person as
defined by Section 2613 of the Internal Revenue Code shall be made from
a nonexempt trust and distributions to a skip person as defined by Section
2613 shall be made from an exempt trust.
My Trustee shall administer each exempt and nonexempt trust as a
separate and independent trust.
Any exempt or nonexempt trust established under this agreement may be
referred to by the name designated by my Trustee.
If an exempt trust and a nonexempt trust are further divided under the
terms of this agreement, my Trustee may allocate property from the
exempt trust first to the trust from which a generation skipping transfer is
more likely to occur.
(c) My Intent; Trust Additions
My intent is to minimize the application of the generation-skipping
transfer tax to the trust property but not to affect the total amount of trust
property to which any beneficiary may be entitled under this agreement.
This agreement shall be so construed and interpreted to give effect to this
intent.
If at any time any property that has an inclusion ratio greater than zero for
generation-skipping transfer tax purposes would be added to a trust with
property that has an inclusion ratio of zero, then my Trustee shall instead
hold such property in a separate trust on the same terms and conditions as
the original trust.
(d) Independent Trustee May Confer Testamentary Power of
Appointment
In the event a trust has an inclusion ratio of greater than zero for
generation-skipping transfer tax purposes, my Trustee, excluding any
Interested Trustee, may during the lifetime of the beneficiary of the trust,
grant the beneficiary a testamentary power to appoint all or part of such
beneficiary's trust or trust share to the creditors of the beneficiary's estate.
The Trustee granting the power of appointment may require, as a
condition for the beneficiary's exercise of such power, that the beneficiary
obtain the consent of such Trustee. Any testamentary power of
appointment granted by the Trustee shall be in writing and may be
revoked at any time during the lifetime of the beneficiary to whom the
power was gIven.

Article Sixteen
My Trustee's Powers
Section 16.01 Introduction to Trustee's Powers
Except as otherwise specifically provided in this agreement, my Trustee may exercise,
without prior approval from any court, all the powers conferred by this agreement and
any powers conferred by law, including, without limitation, those powers set forth under
the common law or statutory law of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania or any other
jurisdiction whose law applies to this trust. The powers set forth in the laws of
Pennsylvania are specifically incorporated into this trust agreement. The powers
conferred upon my Trustee by law, including those powers conferred by Pennsylvalia law
shall be subject to any express limitations or contrary directions contained in this
agreement.
My Trustee shall exercise these powers in the manner my Trustee determines to be in the
best interests of the beneficiaries. My Trustee shall not exercise any of its powers in a
manner that is inconsistent with the right of the beneficiaries to the beneficial enjoyment
of the trust property in accordance with the general principles of the law of trusts.
The Trustee of a trust may have duties and responsibilities in addition to those described
in this agreement. I encourage my Trustee to obtain appropriate legal advice if my
Trustee has any questions concerning its duties and responsibilities as Trustee.
Section 16.02 Execution of Documents by My Trustee
My Trustee may execute and deliver any and all instruments in writing that my Trustee
considers necessary to carry out any of the powers granted in this agreement.
Section 16.03 Investment Powers in General
My Trustee may invest in any type of investment that my Trustee determines is consistent
with the investment goals of my trust, whether inside or outside the geographic borders of
the United States of America and its possessions or territories, taking into account my
trust's overall investment portfolio.
Without limiting my Trustee's investment authority in any way, I request that my Trustee
exercise reasonable care and skill in selecting and retaining trust investments. I also
request that my Trustee take into account the following factors in choosing investments
for my trust:
Ramesh M. Khona Living Trust
1
The potential return from the investment, both in the form of income and
appreci ation;
The potential income tax consequences of the investment;
The investment's potential for volatility; and
The role the investment will play in the trust's portfolio.
I request that my Trustee, in arranging the investment portfolio of the trust, also consider
the possible effects of inflation or deflation, changes in global and U.S. economic
conditions, transaction expenses, and the trust's need for liquidity.
My Trustee may delegate its discretion to manage trust investments to any registered
investment adviser or corporate fiduciary.
Section 16.04 Banking Powers
My Trustee may establish bank accounts of any type in one or more banking institutions
that my Trustee may choose. My Trustee may open accounts in the name of my Trustee
(with or without disclosing fiduciary capacity) or in the name of the trust. When an
account is in the name of the trust, checks on that account and authorized signatures need
not disclose the fiduciary nature of the account or refer to any trust or Trustee.
An account from which my Trustee makes frequent disbursements need not be an interest
bearing account. My Trustee may authorize withdrawals from an account by check, draft
or other instrument or in any other manner.
Section 16.05 Business Powers
My Trustee is authorized to serve as an officer, director, manager, or in any other
capacity of any proprietorship, partnership, joint venture, corporation, or other enterprise
in which the trust has an interest (whether or not such interest is total or controlling). My
Trustee may receive compensation for services.
My Trustee may contract with and otherwise deal with any such enterprise in the same
manner as it would with any enterprise in which the trust has no interest, and may use any
voting power my Trustee may have to implement its authority (whether as Trustee or as
an officer, director, or other official of the enterprise).
With respect to any units in a limited liability company, limited partnership, or stock in a
closely-held corporation ("closely-held company") that are contributed to the trust, the
powers granted to my Trustee in this Article shall not disqualify my Trustee from acting
personally and independently, and not in a fiduciary capacity, with respect to any closely
held company, from holding office in the closely-held company, from accepting
Ramesh M. Khona Living Trust
2
remuneration from the closely-held company, from voting any units or stock in favor of
the Trustee as a director or officer of the closely-held company, or from purchasing or
selling units or stock of the closely-held company.
If the trust owns or acquires an interest in a business as a shareholder, partner, sole
proprietor, member, participant in a joint venture or otherwise, my Trustee may exercise
the authority and discretion provided for in this Section. The powers granted in this
Section are in addition to and not in limitation of all other powers granted to my Trustee
in this agreement.
(a) No Duty to Diversify
Notwithstanding any duty to diversify imposed by state law, my Trustee
may retain any business in which the trust has an ownership interest even
though the interest may constitute all or a substantial portion of the trust
property. I recognize that the value of a non-controlling interest in a
business entity may be less than the underlying value of the net assets of
the entity. Nonetheless, I authorize my Trustee to retain non-controlling
business interests owned by the trust.
(b) Specific Management Powers
My Trustee shall have all power and authority necessary to manage and
operate any business owned by the trust, whether directly or indirectly,
including, without limitation, the express powers set forth in this
subsection.
My Trustee may participate directly in the conduct of the business, by
serving as a general partner of a limited partnership, a member, manager
or managing member of a limited liability company, or a shareholder of a
corporation, or may employ others to serve in that capacity.
My Trustee may take part in the management of the business and delegate
duties with respect to management, together with the requisite powers, to
any employee, manager, partner or associate of the business, without
incurring any liability for the delegation. To the extent that the business
interest held by the trust is not one that includes management powers
(such as a minority stock interest, limited partnership interest, or a
membership interest in a limited liability company), my Trustee shall have
no obligation to supervise the management of the underlying assets, and
no liability for the actions of those who do manage the business.
My Trustee may enter into management agreements and nominee
agreements whereby my Trustee and the trust may serve as the exclusive
manager or nominee of property or property interests on behalf of any
limited partnership, limited liability company or corporation.

with a business in which the trust has an interest or with the other owners

operating agreements for limited liability companies.
My Trustee may generally exercise any and all powers necessary for the
continuation, management, sale or dissolution of the business. My Trustee
may participate in the sale, reorganization, merger, consolidation,
recapitalization, or liquidation of the business. My Trustee may sell or
liquidate the business or business interest on such price and on such terms
as my Trustee deems advisable and in the best interests of the trust and the
beneficiaries. My Trustee may sell any business interest held by the trust
to one or more of the beneficiaries of this trust or to any trust in which a
majority of the beneficiaries are one or more of the beneficiaries of this
trust. The sale may be made in exchange for cash, a private annuity, an
installment note or any combination thereof.
Ramesh M. Khona Living Trust

My Trustee may exercise all of the business powers granted in this
agreement even though my Trustee may be personally invested in or
otherwise involved with the business.

If any tort or contract liability arises in connection with the business, and
if the trust is a responsible party with regard to the liability, my Trustee
shall satisfy the liability first from the assets of the business, and only then
from other trust property.
(d) Trustee Compensation
In addition to the Trustee compensation set forth in Sixteen 16.05( d), my
Trustee may receive additional reasonable compensation for services in
connection with the operation of the business. My Trustee may receive
this compensation directly from the business, from the trust or partly from
both.

even though my Trustee may be involved with or have a personal interest
in the business.

Trustee deems appropriate.
Section 16.07 Common Investments
For purposes of convenience with regard to the administration and investment of the trust
property, my Trustee may invest part or all of the trust property jointly with trust property
of other trusts for which my Trustee is also serving as a Trustee. For this purpose, a
corporate fiduciary acting as my Trustee may use common funds for investment.
When trust property is managed and invested in this manner, my Trustee shall maintain
records that sufficiently identify that portion of the jointly invested assets that constitute
the trust property of this trust.

The "current income beneficiary" of a qualified subchapter
S trust is the person who has a present right to receive
income distributions from the trust to which the S
corporation stock is allocated. A qualified subchapter S
trust shall have only one current income beneficiary.
If under the terms of the agreement, there is more than one
person who has a present right to receive income
distributions from the trust originally holding the S
corporation stock, my Trustee shall cause the S corporation
stock to be segregated into separate qualified subchapter S
trusts for each person who has a present right to receive
income distributions.
(2) Distributions
Until the first to occur of (a) the death of the current
income beneficiary and (b) the date on which the qualified
subchapter S trust no longer holds any S corporation stock
(the "QSST termination date"), my Trustee shall distribute
to the current income beneficiary, at least annually, all of
the trust's "net income," as that term is defined in Section
643(b) of the Internal Revenue Code.
The terms of the trust to which the S corporation stock was
originally allocated shall govern distributions of principal
from the qualified subchapter S trust; provided, however,
Ramesh M. Khona Living Trust
13
that my Trustee may only distribute principal to the current
income beneficiary of the qualified subchapter S trust.
Upon the QSST termination date, my Trustee shall
distribute the remaining trust assets to the current income
beneficiary, if he or she is then living, and if not, to the
current income beneficiary's estate.
(3) Allocation of Income and Expenses
My Trustee shall characterize receipts and expenses of any
qualified subchapter S trust in a manner consistent with
Section 643(b) of the Internal Revenue Code.
(4) Trust Merger or Consolidation
My Trustee may not merge or consolidate any qualified
subchapter S trust with the assets of another trust if doing
so would jeopardize the qualification of either trust as a
qualified subchapter S trust.
(c) Governance of the Trusts
The following additional provIsIons shall apply to any separate trust
created under this Section.
(1) Protection of S Corporation Status
My Trustee shall not administer a trust holding S
corporation stock in a manner that would cause the
termination of the S corporation status of the entity whose
stock is held as part of the trust. Therefore during any
period that the trust holds S corporation stock, the terms of
this agreement shall be construed in a manner that is
consistent with the trust qualifying as an electing small
business trust or as a qualified subchapter S trust. Any
provision of this agreement that cannot be so construed or
applied shall be disregarded.
(2) Methods of Distribution
No method of distribution permitted under this Section may
be used in a manner that would jeopardize the qualification
of the trust as an electing small business trust or as a
qualified subchapter S trust.
Ramesh M. Khona Living Trust
14
(3) Election
Any reference in this agreement to any person acting in an
individual or fiduciary capacity, making an election for
himself or for or on behalf of any other person, shall
include, but not be limited to, an election made in
accordance with Section 1361(e)(3), Section 1361(d)(2) or
any other applicable subsection of Section 1361 of the
Internal Revenue Code.
(4) Disposition of S Corporation Stock
If the continuation of any trust would, in my Trustee's
opinion, result in the termination of the S corporation status
of any entity whose stock is held as a part of the trust
property, my Trustee, other than an Interested Trustee, shall
have, in addition to the power to sell or otherwise dispose
of the stock, the power to distribute the stock to the person
who is then entitled to receive the income from the trust.
Section 16.23 Limitation on My Trustee's Powers
All powers granted to my Trustee under this agreement or by applicable law shall be
limited as set forth in this Section, unless explicitly excepted by reference to this Section.
The limitations set forth in this Section shall not apply to me.
(a) An Interested Trustee Limited to Ascertainable Standards
An Interested Trustee may not exercise or participate in the exercise of
discretion with respect to the distribution of income or principal, or the
termination of the trust to or for the benefit of a beneficiary, to the extent
that the exercise of such discretion is other than for the health, education,
maintenance or support of a beneficiary as described under Sections 2041
and 2514 of the Internal Revenue Code.
(b) No Distributions in Discharge of Support Obligation of My
Trustee
My Trustee may not exercise or participate in the exercise of discretion
with respect to the distribution of income or principal to any person my
Trustee is legally obligated to support, to the extent the distribution
discharges the support obligation of my Trustee.
If a beneficiary has the power to remove a Trustee, the Trustee may not
exercise or participate in the exercise of discretion with respect to the
distribution of income or principal to any person the beneficiary having
Ramesh M. Khona Living Trust
15
the power to remove is legally obligated to support, to the extent such
distribution discharges the support obligation of the beneficiary.
(c) Insurance Policy on the Life of My Trustee
If the trust holds a policy that insures the life of my Trustee, my Trustee
shall have no right to exercise any powers or rights with respect to the
policy. A Cotrustee serving under this agreement shall exercise the
powers and rights with respect to the policy.
If the insured Trustee is the only Trustee, then an Independent Special
Trustee designated under Section 3.08 shall exercise the powers and rights
with respect to the policy.
If any rule of law or court decision construes the ability of the insured
Trustee to name an Independent Special Trustee as an incident of
ownership of the policy, then a majority of the then current mandatory and
discretionary income beneficiaries (excluding the insured Trustee if he or
she is a beneficiary) shall select the Independent Special Trustee.
(d) Insurance Policy on a Beneficiary's Life
If the trust holds a policy that insures the life of a beneficiary, the
beneficiary (acting individually or as Trustee) shall have no power over
the policy, the cash value of the policy, or the proceeds of the policy. The
intent of this denial of power is to prevent an insured beneficiary from
having a power that would constitute an incident of ownership of the
policy.
In addition, no distribution of income or principal to the insured
beneficiary shall be satisfied out of the proceeds of the policy, the cash
value of the policy or any other economic benefit of the policy.
The limitations of this subsection shall not apply if the proceeds of the
policy would, upon the death of the beneficiary, otherwise be included in
the gross estate of the beneficiary for federal estate tax purposes.

arbitration proceeding and shall not include any action described above solely in a
mediation not preceded by a filing of a contest with a court, notwithstanding the
foregoing.
This Section shall not apply so as to cause a forfeiture of any distribution otherwise
qualifying for the federal estate tax marital deduction or charitable deduction.
Ramesh M. Khona Living Trust

Section 17.04 Survivorship Presumption
If my wife and I die under circumstances in which the order of our deaths cannot be
established, I shall be deemed to have survived my wife.
If any other beneficiary is living at my death, but dies within 90 days after my death, then
the beneficiary shall be deemed to have predeceased me for purposes of this agreement.
Section 17.05 Divorce or Annulment
If my marriage to my wife ends by divorce or annulment, my wife shall cease to be a
beneficiary under this agreement and shall be treated for purposes of this agreement as
though she predeceased me. If my wife is serving as my Trustee at the time that my
marriage to my wife ends, she shall cease to be a Trustee.
Section 17.06 Changing the Situs of Administration
My Trust Protector may, at any time, remove all or any part of the property or the situs of
administration of the trust from one jurisdiction to another. My Trust Protector may
elect, by filing an instrument with the trust records, that the trust shall thereafter be
construed, regulated and governed as to administration by the laws of the new
jurisdiction. My Trust Protector may take action under this Section for any purpose my
Trust Protector deems appropriate, including the minimization of any taxes in respect of
the trust or any beneficiary of such trust.
If necessary, the beneficiaries entitled to receive distributions of net income under the
trust may, by majority consent, appoint a corporate fiduciary in the new situs. If a
beneficiary is a minor or is incapacitated, the parent or legal representative of the
beneficiary may act on behalf of the beneficiary.
Section 17.07 Definitions
For purposes of this agreement, the following terms shall have the following meanings:
(a) Adopted and Afterborn Persons
A legally adopted person in any generation and his or her descendants,
including adopted descendants, shall have the same rights and be treated in
the same manner under this agreement as natural children of the adopting
parent, provided such person is legally adopted prior to attaining the age
of 18 years. A person shall be deemed to be legally adopted if the
adoption was legal in the jurisdiction in which it occurred at the time that
it occurred.
Ramesh M. Khona Living Trust
3
A fetus in utero that is later born alive shall be considered a person in
being during the period of gestation.
But a person's children or descendants shall not include an individual who
is the person's child or descendant by virtue of legal adoption if the
adoption occurred on or after the date of my death and is older than the
oldest living child or descendant of such person on that date.
(b) Agreement
The term "this agreement" means this trust agreement and includes all
trusts created under the terms of this agreement.
(c) Available GST Exemption

Section 2631 of the Internal Revenue Code in effect at the time of my
death; reduced by the aggregate of (1) the amount, if any, of GST
Exemption allocated to my lifetime transfers, including those allocations
made at the time of my death by my Personal Representative, by my
Trustee, or by operation of law and (2) the amount, if any, allocated to
direct skips as defined in Section 26l2( c)(1) of the Internal Revenue Code
that do not qualify for an exclusion from the generation-skipping transfer
tax occurring at my death to or for the benefit of my descendants.
If, at the time of my death, I have made a lifetime transfer to a trust with
an inclusion ratio of greater than zero but have not filed a gift tax return
and the due date for the gift tax return has not yet passed, my available
GST Exemption shall also be reduced to the extent necessary and possible
to reduce the trust inclusion ratio to zero, thereby exempting the transfer
from generation-skipping transfer tax.
"My wife's available GST Exemption" means the GST Exemption in
effect at the time of her death; reduced by the aggregate of (1) the amount,
if any, of GST Exemption allocated to her lifetime transfers, including
those allocations made at the time of her death by her Personal
Representative, by her Trustee, or by operation of law and (2) the amount,
if any, allocated to direct skips that do not qualify for an exclusion from
the generation-skipping transfer tax occurring at her death to or for the
benefit of my descendants.
If, at the time of her death, she has made a lifetime transfer to a trust with
an inclusion ratio of greater than zero but has not filed a gift tax return and
the due date for the gift tax return has not yet passed, my wife's available
GST Exemption shall also be reduced to the extent necessary and possible
to exempt the transfer from generation-skipping transfer tax.

(d) Descendants
The term "descendants" shall include a person's lineal descendants of all
generations.

for expenses such as tuition, room and board, fees, books and supplies,
tutoring and transportation and a reasonable allowance for living expenses.

incapacitated in anyone of the following circumstances.
(1) The Opinion of Two Licensed Physicians
An individual shall be deemed incapacitated whenever, in
the opinion of two licensed physicians, the individual is
unable to effectively manage his or her property or
financial affairs, whether as a result of age, illness, use of
prescription medications, drugs or other substances, or any
other cause.

provides a written opinion that the individual is able to
effectively manage his or her property and financial affairs.

competent jurisdiction has declared the individual to be
disabled, incompetent or legally incapacitated.
(3) Detention, Disappearance or Absence
An individual shall be deemed incapacitated whenever he

financial affairs due to the individual's unexplained
disappearance or absence for more than 30 days, or
whenever he or she is detained under duress.
An individual's disappearance or absence or detention
under duress may be established by an affidavit of my
Trustee, or, if no Trustee is serving, by the affidavit of any
beneficiary. The affidavit shall describe the circumstances
of the individual's disappearance, absence or detention and
may be relied upon by any third party dealing in good faith
with my Trustee in reliance upon the affidavit.

to receive distributions of the net income of the trust, whether mandatory
or discretionary.
Unless otherwise provided in this agreement, the phrase "majority of the
income beneficiaries" means any combination of income beneficiaries
who, if all accrued net income were distributed on the day of a vote by the
beneficiaries, would receive more than 50% of the accrued net income.

discretionary distributions of net income shall be deemed to receive the
income in equal shares.
References to a "majority" refer to a majority of the entire trust
collectively until my Trustee allocates property to separate trusts or trust
shares. After the allocation of property to separate trusts or trust shares,
references to a "majority" refer to a majority of each separate trust or trust
share.

Trustee as defined in Article Three. Only an Independent Trustee may
exercise those powers granted exclusively to an Independent Trustee and
when the phrase "other than an Interested Trustee" is used. Whenever this
agreement specifically prohibits an Interested Trustee from exercising
discretion or performing an act, then only an Independent Trustee may
exercise that discretion or perform that act. An Independent Trustee shall
not be liable to any person for any good faith exercise or nonexercise of its
discretion under this agreement.
(k) Interested Trustee
The term "Interested Trustee" means (1) a Trustee who is a transferor of
property to the trust (including a person whose qualified disclaimer
resulted in property passing to the trust); (2) a Trustee who is a beneficiary
of the trust; or (3) a Trustee whom a beneficiary of the trust can remove

Code.
For purposes of this subsection "a beneficiary of the trust" means a person
who is or in the future may be eligible to receive income or principal from
the trust pursuant to the terms of the trust. A person shall be considered a
beneficiary of a trust even if he or she has only a remote contingent
remainder interest in the trust; however, a person shall not be considered a
beneficiary of a trust if the person's only interest is as a potential
appointee under a testamentary power of appointment.
(I) Internal Revenue Code and Treasury Regulations
References to the "Internal Revenue Code" or to its provisions are to the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended from time to time, and the
corresponding Treasury Regulations, if any. References to the "Treasury
Regulations," are to the Treasury Regulations under the Internal Revenue
Code in effect from time to time. If a particular provision of the Internal
Ramesh M. Khona Living Trust
7
Revenue Code is renumbered, or the Internal Revenue Code is superseded
by a subsequent federal tax law, any reference shall be deemed to be made
to the renumbered provision or to the corresponding provision of the
subsequent law, unless to do so would clearly be contrary to my intent as

Treasury Regulations.

stirpes," the distribution shall be divided into as many shares as there are
then living children ofthe person and deceased children of the person who
left then living descendants. Each then living child shall receive one share
and the share of each deceased child shall be divided among the child's
then living descendants in the same malmer.
(0) Qualified Retirement Plan
The term "qualified retirement plan" means a plan qualified under Section
401 of the Internal Revenue Code, an individual retirement arrangement
under Section 408 or Section 408A or a tax-sheltered annuity under
Section 403. The term "qualified retirement benefits" means the amounts
held in or distributed pursuant to a plan qualified under Section 401, an
individual retirement arrangement under Section 408 or Section 408A, a
tax-sheltered annuity under Section 403 or any other benefit subject to the
distribution rules of Section 401 (a)(9).
(p) Shall and May
Unless otherwise specifically provided in this agreement or by the context
in which used, I use the word "shall" in this agreement to command, direct
or require, and the word "may" to allow or permit, but not require. In the
context of my Trustee, when I use the word "may" I intend that my
Trustee may act in its sole and absolute discretion unless otherwise stated
in this agreement.
(q) Trust

agreement and all trusts created under the terms of this agreement.

corporation or other entity that is from time to time acting as the Trustee

The phrase "trust property" shall be construed to mean all property held by
my Trustee under this agreement, including all property that my Trustee
may acquire from any source.

This agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of
which shall be deemed to be an original. Any person may rely upon a
copy of this agreement certified under oath by my Trustee to be a true
copy, to the same effect as if it were an original.
(b) Singular and Plural; Gender
Unless the context requires otherwise, words denoting the singular may be
construed as plural and words of the plural may be construed as denoting
the singular. Words of one gender may be construed as denoting another
gender as is appropriate within the context. The word "or" when used in a
list of more than two items may function as both a conjunction and a
disjunction as the context requires or permits.
(c) Headings of Articles, Sections, and Subsections
The headings of Articles, Sections, and subsections used within this
agreement are included solely for the convenience and reference of the
reader. They shall have no significance in the interpretation or
construction of this agreement.

to the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania as from time to time

requested, to the last known address of the party requiring notice. Notice
shall be effective on the date personally delivered or on the date of the

but has proof that he or she mailed the notice, notice shall be effective on
the date it would normally have been received via ce11ified mail. If notice
is required to be given to a minor or incapacitated individual, notice shall
be given to the parent or legal representative of the minor or incapacitated
individual.
(f) Plans Not Reciprocal
The fact that my wife and I are executing our estate plans concurrently
shall not be construed to create any contractual or reciprocal obligations
between us.
(g) Severability
The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of this agreement shall
not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision of this
agreement. If a court of competent jurisdiction determines that any
provision is invalid, the remaining provisions of this agreement shall be
interpreted and construed as if the invalid provision had never been
included in this agreement.
I have executed this agreement on the day and year first above written. This agreement
shall be effective when signed by me, whether or not now signed by a Trustee.
Ramesh M. Khona Living Trust
