ARTICLE NINE If there is no beneficiary entitled to receive ail or part of my estate, my Trnstee stsail distribute my estate ta those persons wha would be my heirs at law had I died intestate o such PTOperiy. ARTICLE TEl�i A. Restrictions on Use af Oualified Retirement Pians. Should the payment of expenses, claims and taaces from any Qualified Itetirement P an or Individual Retirament Accaunt {"IRA") assets which comprise my estate cause my estat ta be disqualified as a "Qualified Beneficiary," it is my intent, and I hareby direct that, ta the xtent pracricabla, no expenses, ciaims and taYes shall be paid fram such Qualified Retirement lan or IRA assets. B. Restrictions on Certain Pavments from iJualified Retirement Pians. The "designatian date" shall mean September 30 of the calendar year follo ng the calendar yeaz in which my death occurs, or such other date as shall be established by T easury Regulations or other ta�c law authority as the final date for determining whether my estat�meets 4 � the requirernents for treatment af my aldest beneficiary as if he or she had been narned directly as beneficiary of any qualified retirement plan payable to my estate. Notwithstanding any other pravision af mp will ar state law to the contrary, on or �fter the "designation date" no distributian ta or foz the benefit of my estate, any charity or any o�ther non-individuai benefioiary shali be made fram any qualified retirement benefit payable ta a st created under my wiii. It is my intent that all such qualified retirement benefits held or payable to my estate an ar after the designatian date be distributed to or held for only indiv�dual beneficiaries, within the meaning of Section 401{a}(9) of the Internal Revenue Code of 19 , as amended and suppiemented(the"Internal Revenue Code"). Accardingly I direct that qualified retirement benefits not be used or applied an or after the dasignation date for payment of my debts, taaces, expenses of adrninistration ar otkier c anns against my estate or for payment of estate, inheritance or similar transfer t�es due on acco t of my death (other than thase directiy attributable to and the legal obligation of a p 'culaz Qumli�ed Retirement Plan}. T"his paragraph shaii nat appiy to any beqaest or expense t is specifically directed to be funded with qualifiad retirement benefits. i C. Minirnum Rec�uired Distribution � I In administaring any hust ar custodial account created under my Will that beco�tles the beneficiary of fleath benefits under any qualified reUrement plan, the minimum r uired distribution far each qualified retirement pian for any year is the greater of(1) the valu of the qualified rerirement pian determined as af the preceding year-end, divided by the ap licable distribution periad; and{2}the amount that my trustee or custodian is required to withdra under the laws then appiicable to the trust to avaid penalty. $ i i If I die before my required begimvng date with respect to the qualified retirement plan, the applicable distribution period means the life expectancy of the beneficiary. If I die ot� or after my required beginning date with respect to a qualified retirernant plan, the applic�ble distributian period means the life expectancy af the beneficiary, or (if longer) my remainin$�life expectancy. Natuithstanding the faregoing, if I die on or after my required beginning date `th respect to a qualified retirement plan, the minimurn required beginning date with respect�to a qualified ratirament pian,the tninimum required distribution far the year of my death me s (a} the arnount that was required to be distributed to me with respect to the qualified retiremen plan during the year, minus {b} amounts acrizally distributed to me with respect to the qu ified retiremant plan during the year. "Life eacpectancy," "required begxnning date" and other similar terrns used i this subsection, is to be deternuned in accordance with 3ection 4Q1(a)(9) of the Internal Re enue Code. D. Taat Elections. In exercising any permitted eiectians regazding taa�es, my Bxecutor or custod' , as applicable, may make such decisians as they deem to be appmpriate in all the oircumstan s and my Executar or custodian, as appiicable, shall be under na duty to make any compe satary adjustment as a consequsnce of any suoh electian. My Bxecutor or custoflian, as applicab e, may alsa execute such joint tax retums and pay such taz�es or interest and deal witl� any tazc r funds, interest,or credits as he, she or it shall deem necessary or advisable,whether in the intere of the other joint ta�c payer or in the interest af my estate. 6 � My Executor, in his, her or its sole discretion, may elect to have all, none, or pazt of?tha � property comprising mX estate for federal estate ta�c purposes qualify for the federal estate�taa� mazital deduction as qualified terminable interest progerCy under Sectian 2056{B)(7) of�the Internal Revenue Code {the "QTIP election") and for any state death ta�c marital deduction u�der the law of any state {the "state QTIP Election"). My Executor is nat required to make the e election far both federai estate t� purposes and for state death tax pur}mses. If my Exe utor makes a partial QTIP electian,my Executor shall divide the est,ate on the basis of the fair m�rket value of the assets of the trust at the time of the division.
