incoeporated into lhis W ill or otherwise caaied o�t under this Will, then(i) I hereby
appoint[he Trustee undec that Trust Agreement to be Trustec under[his W ill; (ii) I
incoeporate lhe provisions of that Trust Agreement into this Will; (iii) I give my residuary
i
estate ro the Trustee under this Will; and (iv) I direct that the residue of my estate shall be

reason of my death upon property passing under and outside this Will shall be

TENTH: Genera[ion Skiooin�Transfers: I make the following provisions
pertaining to generation-skipping transfers:
A. The executor may allocate my generation-skipping tax exemption
which I have not irrevocably utilized during my lifetime in such manner as the exewtor
shall determine.
B. For pu�oses of fully utilizing my generation-skipping tax
exemption if my spouse survives me, the executor may make the election provided for in
Section 2652(a)(3) of the Intemal Revenue Code to the exten[the executor has elected to
treat all or part of the property passing under this will or under any deed of[rust of which
I am the settbr as"qualified terminable interest property" u�der Section 2056(b)(7) of
the Intemal Revenue Code.
C. The exeeutoc may elect not to have the deemed alloca[ion
provisions of Sec[ion 2632(b) of Ihe Code apply to transfers made by me dudng my
life[ime.
D. To the extent [hat the albca[ion of any generation-skipping tax
exemption would not resu][ in a particular trust being completely exempt from the
generation-skipping tax,the trustee shall separate such trust into two trusts, one of which
is exempt from and one of which is fully subject to the genera[iomskipping[aY. In the
case of a trust which has not received assets at the time the exemp[ion is allocated, the
separation shall occur prior to any funding of[he [rust. A [rust which is complelely
7
exempt from the genera[ion-skipping tax shall be referred to as an"exempt[rusY'and a
trust which is subject in any part to the generation-skippi�g tax shall be refclred to as a
"�on-ezempt trusP'.
E. If the trustee separates a trust into an exempt trust and a non-
exempt trust under the immediatety preceding paragraph:
1. My person who has a power of appointment with respect
to that trust may exercise such power differently as between the exempt trust and the non-
exempt trust.
2. If the trustee has the discretionazy power to distribute
income of a trust among"skip persons"and"non-skip persons" as deFned in Sec[ion
2613(b)of the Intemal Revenue Code, the[rustee may exercise such power differently as
between the exempt trust and the non-exempt trust.
F. In making any distributions hereunder for the various beneficiaries
my fiduciaries may allocate among such distributions assets which are exempt from
genera[ion-skipping tax equally or pro rata or on such other basis as they shall in their
sole and absolute discretion determine, taki�g into accoant possible needs of beneficiaries
for distributions of principal, possible appreciation in the value of trust assets during the
lifetimes of Ihe beneficiaries or such other factors as the fiduciaries consider signiLcant.
G. The trustee may combine inro a single trust two exempt[rusts for
the bene6t of the same beneficiary; similarly, the trustee may combine non-exempt trusts
for the samc beneficiary.
H. No power to expend principal of an exempt trust for a beneficiary
who is a"non-skip persod' as defined in Section 2613(b) of Ihe Intemal Revenuc Code
may be exercised by the trustee so long as there is any principal held in a non-exempt
tmst and in which the trustee has a similar power to expend principal for such
beneficiary.
I. ln addition to all other powers sct forth in my will, if at the death
of a beceficiary other[han my spouse, including a person who becomes a beneficiazy
pursuan[to the exercise of a power of appoin[men[ under my will, there is principal held
in a non-exempt [rust for tha[beneficiary and if in [he absence of this power of
appointment there would be a taxable [eRnination with respect to such trust as defined in
8
Section 2612 of the Internal Revenue Code, such beneficiary shall have the power by will
containing a specific reference to this power of appointment to appoint any part or all of
such principal outright to any one or more of his or her creditors and the credi[ors of his
or her esta[e. Upon the beneficiary's death, to the ex[ent she or he fails to exercise
effectivety such power of appointment, the trus[ee shall pay to the beneficiary's esta[e or
to [he tax authorities an amount equal [o any increase in estate, inheritance and other
death taxes, and interes[ and penalties thereon, payable because of the inclusion of the
unappointed principal in the beneficiary's cstate for tax pucposes. The remaining
unappointed principal shall be distribuled in aceordance with the terms of the trust.
ELEVENTH: Fiduciaries: I appoint the following fiduciaries:
A. I appoint MY SPOUSE, ARTURO A. FOX, executor. If my
spouse is at any time unable or unwilling to continuc to act as executor I appoint MY
DAUGHTER, LAUREN M. KLEIN, successor executor.

writing filed with counsel (or[he trusts hereunder.
E. No tmstee shall participate in any tmstec decisioo conceming the

future beneficiaries except for ac[s of negligencc or willful wrongdoing.
G. Notwithstanding any law or rule of court to the contrary, a
corpora[e executor or[rus[ee shall receive compensation for its services hereunder from
time ro time in accordance with the current rates then charged by it for trusts of similar

services, it may receive additional compensation [herefor. The individual execu[or aud

H. No successor executor or tmstee shall be required to examine into
the ac[s of its predecessor executor or trustee, and each successor exceutor or trustee shall
have responsibility only with �espect to the property ac[ually delivered to it by its
predeccssor.
I. No person or corporation dealing with the execumr or trustee shall
be obliged to see to the application of money paid or propeRy delivered to the execator or

legally competent persons whom my[rustee determines would be entitled ro receive a
share of the principal if all the beneficiaries who arc cligible to receive income had died
immediately prior to the date of the agreement (disregazding powers of appointment).
Hawever,
