Estate of Margaret B. Trace
The Trust has received a claim from the executors of the
estate of the decedent's widow Margaret B. Trace who
died on March 27, 2005. The claim alleges and the Trust
has verified that during the weeks preceding Margaret
Trace's death, the decedent transferred securities owned
solely by Margaret Trace to a joint broker account in
the name of the decedent and his spouse. These
transfers were made while Margaret Trace was of a
diminished capacity resulting from her terminal illness
and were made without her informed consent and were not
knowingly authorized by her. After Margaret Trace's
death, the decedent transferred the assets in this joint
account to the Robert J. Trace Living Trust under
agreement dated July 5, 2005. The trustee acknowledges
that the transfer of these securities was unauthorized
and intends to compensate the estate by remitting the
sum of $600,575.21 to it in satisfaction of its claim.
This sum represents the market value of the transferred
securities as of the date of death of Margaret Trace or
the net proceeds of transferred securities that were
sold prior to her death.

effective if it reasonably identifies my trust and indicates that the trust property is held in
a fiduciary capacity.
Section 1.02 Reliance by Third Parties on Affidavit or Certification of
Trust
From time to time, third parties may require documentation to verify the existence of this
agreement, or particular provisions of it, such as the name or names of my Trustee or the

may use an affidavit or a certification of trust that identifies my Trustee and sets forth the
authority of my Trustee to transact business on behalf of my trust. The affidavit or
certification may include pertinent pages from this agreement, such as title or signature
pages.
A third party may rely upon an affidavit or certification of trust that is signed by my
Trustee with respect to the representations contained in the affidavit or certification of
trust. A third party relying upon an affidavit or certification of trust shall be exonerated
from any liability for actions the third party takes or fails to take in reliance upon the
representations contained in the affidavit or certification of trust. A third party dealing
with my Trustee shall not be required to inquire into the terms of this agreement or the
authority of my Trustee, or to see to the application that my Trustee makes of funds or
other property received by my Trustee.

Article Three
Trustee Succession and Trust Protector Provisions
Section 3.01
Resignation of a Trustee
A Trustee may resign by giving notice to me. If I am deceased, a resigning Trustee shall
give notice to the income beneficiaries of the trust and to any other Trustee then serving.
Section 3.02 Trustee Succession During My Lifetime
During my lifetime, this Section shall govern the removal and replacement of my
Trustees.
(a)
Removal and Replacement by Me
I may remove any Trustee with or without cause at any time. If a Trustee
is removed, resigns or cannot continue to serve for any reason, I may serve
as sole Trustee, appoint a Trustee to serve with me or appoint a successor
Trustee.
(b)
During My Incapacity
During any time that I am incapacitated, the following shall replace any
then serving Trustee in the order named:
MARGARET TRACE FOSTER and then
ROBERT J. TRACE, JR. and SUSAN TRACE NEWTON
or the survivor of them
If I am incapacitated and there is no named successor Trustee, my Trust
Protector shall appoint my successor Trustee. If my Trust Protector is
unable to name my successor Trustee, a majority of my children shall
appoint my successor Trustee.
All appointments, removals and revocations shall be by signed written instrument.
Notice of removal shall be delivered to the Trustee being removed and shall be effective
in accordance with the provisions of the notice.
Notice of appointment shall be delivered to and accepted by the successor Trustee and
shall become effective at that time. A copy of the notice shall be attached to this
agreement.
,-
3-1
Section 3.03 Trustee Succession After My Death
After my death, this Section shall govern the removal and replacement of my Trustees.
(a) Administrative Trustee
-
-
I appoint the following, in the order named, to serve as successor Trustee
during the administration of my Trust:
.
MARGARET TRACE FOSTER and then
ROBERT J. TRACE, JR. and SUSAN T. NEWTON, or the
survivor of them
(b)
Trustee of Protective Trust Shares for Each of Child
.
Upon my death, I have created separate lifetime protective trusts, Exempt
and Nonexempt, for the benefit of each of my children
As to the protective trust or trusts ("trust") created for each child
beneficiary, upon the establishment of such separate trust share, the child
beneficiary of such trust shall serve as the Trustee of his or her own
separate trust share.
.
.
At any time the beneficiary is serving as Trustee of his or her trust share,
he or she may elect to appoint a Cotrustee of such trust. It is my belief that
a Cotrustee would be beneficial for each trust share created hereunder, but
I do not require that one be appointed. It is also my belief that the best
Cotrustee would be an Independent Special Trustee as that term is defined
hereunder.
If a Cotrustee is appointed, the child beneficiary shall have the right to
remove such Cotrustee once within each three year period and to appoint a
successor Cotrustee.
.
.
In the event the child beneficiary appoints a Cotrustee of his or her
separate trust and the child beneficiary subsequently is unable to serve as
trustee because of death, disability or for any reason, then in such an
event, the then-serving Cotrustee shall continue to serve as Trustee of the
child's trust share.
.
In the event an appointed Cotrustee is serving as the sole trustee of any
separate share trust, such Cotrustee shall have the authority to appoint its
successor Trustee. Such appointment shall be in writing and shall be on
any terms the then serving sole Trustee determines appropriate.
In the event a child beneficiary is serving as the sole Trustee and he or she
is unable to serve as Trustee because of death, disability, or for any other
.
3-2
reason, he or she shall have the authority to appoint a successor Trustee
for such trust share. Such appointment shall be in writing and shall be on
any terms the appointing Trustee determines appropriate.
.
In the event a child beneficiary is unable to serve as Trustee because of
death, disability or for any other reason, and he or she has not appointed a
Cotrustee or has not appointed a successor Trustee, a vacancy shall exist
and it shall be filled with reference to other sections of this Article.
.
If the interest of a beneficiary will be merged into a life estate or an estate
for years because the beneficiary is serving as sole Trustee, the beneficiary
shall appoint a Cotrustee to avoid such merger. Similarly, if the interest of
a beneficiary becomes or is likely to become subject to the claims of any
creditor or to legal process as a result of serving as sole Trustee the
beneficiary shall appoint an independent Trustee to serve as Cotrustee.
(c) Trustee of Trust Shares for Grandchildren Trust Shares
.
If a trust "tor a child beneficiary continues beyond that child's lifetime for
the benefit of his or her children (such trust share known as a grandchild's
trust share), this subsection shall govern.
.
In the exercise of any power of appointment by the child beneficiary, it is
my hope that the child beneficiary shall have provided instructions for
trusteeship for a grandchild's trust share. In that event, the instructions in
the exercise of the power of appointment shall apply instead of the
instructions which follow.
.
The then-serving Cotrustee (or sole Trustee) of the previous trust share (a
child's trust share) shall continue to serve as the Trustee for the
grandchild's trust share. Notwithstanding other provisions to the contrary,
such trustee shall qualify as an Independent Special Trustee. Such
Cotrustee shall have the authority to appoint its successor Trustee, who
shall also qualify as an Independent Special Trustee. Such appointment
shall be in writing and shall be on any terms the then serving sole Trustee
determines appropriate.
.
.
The grandchild beneficiary, provided he or she has attained the age of 30,
shall be entitled to serve as a Cotrustee of his or her trust share. If the
beneficiary does not desire to serve as Trustee, the then-serving
Independent Special Trustee of the trust shall continue to serve as the sole
Trustee. The grandchild beneficiary, at any time thereafter, may elect to
serve as a Trustee.
.
At no time shall a grandchild beneficiary serve as the sole Trustee of his or
her trust share.
.
3-3
.
If the Independent Special Trustee resigns, dies, or is unable to serve for
any reason, the grandchild beneficiary shall forthwith appoint a successor
Independent Special Trustee. No distributions may be made from the
grandchild's trust share unless an Independent Special Trustee is then
serving. If no replacement Trustee is appointed within 60 days, a vacancy
in the trusteeship shall exist.
If no person qualifying as an Independent Special Trustee is then serving

Disposition of Tangible Personal Property
Section 6.01
Distribution of Tangible Personal Property by Memoranda
I reserve the right to make dispositions of items of tangible personal property by a signed
written memorandum executed after I sign this agreement that refers to my trust and lists
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
wishes and distribute the items of tangible personal property listed in the memorandum
according to its terms.
Section 6.02
Distribution of Remaining Tangible Personal Property
My Trustee shall distribute any tangible personal property not disposed of by a written
memorandum 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 either the division or sale of my tangible personal property, and any decision
made by my Trustee shall be final and binding on all of my beneficiaries.

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
Section 7.01
Division of My Trust
My Trustee shall divide the remaining trust property into Exempt and Nonexempt Shares.
My Trustee shall allocate to the Exempt Share a fraction (the "Exempt Fraction") of the
remaining trust property to the Exempt Share as defined in subsection (a). The balance of
the trust property shall be allocated to the Nonexempt Share.
My Trustee shall administer the Exempt Share as provided in Article Eight. My Trustee
shall administer the Nonexempt Share as provided in Article Nine.
(a) Computation of the Exempt Fraction
The numerator of the Exempt Fraction is equal to the amount, if any, of
my available GST Exemption, as defined in Section 15.06(c), and the
denominator is the aggregate value, for federal estate tax purposes, of the
remaining trust property.
(b) Satisfaction of the Exempt Fraction
My Trustee shall have complete authority and discretion to allocate
property to the Exempt Share in satisfaction of the Exempt Fraction in
cash or in kind, or partly in cash and partly in kind, or in undivided
interests in property.
In making the computations necessary to determine the Exempt Fraction,
my Trustee shall use those values as finally determined for federal estate
tax purposes. Once determined, the Exempt Fraction shall be fixed and
shall not vary with changes in the value of the trust property subsequent to
the valuation date used for federal estate tax purposes. However, since the
Exempt Fraction 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 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 the
Exempt Fraction will include fluctuations in the value of the trust
property.
If the numerator of such fraction is zero, no property shall be allocated to
the Exempt Share. If the numerator of the fraction is equal to or greater
than the denominator,all the remaining trust property shall be allocated to
the Exempt Share.

the Internal Revenue Code (currently 5%) of the current
fair market value of the principal of the beneficiary's
exempt trust that exceeds the amounts previously
withdrawn by the beneficiary during the calendar year
under this paragraph.
The amount referenced by Section 2514(e)(I) of the Internal Revenue
Code must be determined by taking into account all other powers of
withdrawal exercised by the beneficiary that must be aggregated under
Section 2514(e)(1) in determining the largest lapse that can occur without
being treated as a release. This right of withdrawal shall be
noncumulative and shall lapse if not exercised during the calendar year.

appointment to appoint to himself or herself, his or her estate, his or her

appointment and not a general power of appointment as defmed in Section

effectively appointed, my Trustee shall distribute the remaining
unappointed balance per stirpes in trusts to the descendants of the
beneficiary.

trust, it is my desire to provide for their well-being and happiness. My
Trustee shall consider the other known resources available to the
beneficiaries before making distributions, and I request that my Trustee be
conservative in making any distributions to, or for the benefit of, the
beneficiaries. During the beneficiary's working years, it is my desire that
trust funds supplement, and not take the place of earnings earned in the
pursuit of a career. Nevertheless, if a beneficiary is applying himself
diligently to a career and is not able to earn enough earnings for the
adequate support of himself or herself and his or her family, my Trustee is
authorized to expend trust funds for the support of the beneficiary to
enable the beneficiary to have a reasonable lifestyle.

any portion of the principal and undistributed income remaining in the

any previous Trustee or the Personal Representative of my estate.
Unless a Trustee has received notice of removal, the Trustee shall not be liable to me or
to any beneficiary for the consequences of any action taken by the Trustee tl:1at would
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
representatives, agreements in writing releasing the Trustee from any liability that may
have arisen from the Trustee's acts or omissions to act and indemnifying the Trustee from

advise my Trustee shall nonetheless receive the Trustee's share of the compensation paid
to the entity.
Section 13.07 Exercise of Testamentary Power of Appointment

valid will or valid living revocable trust that specifically refers to this power of
appointment. The holder of a testamentary power of appointment may exercise the

of the power designates. 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.

revocable trust exercising the power within 3 months after the beneficiary's death.
Section 13.08 Determination of Principal and Income
The PENNSYLVANIA Uniform Principal and Income Act, as it may be revised from
time to time, shall govern beneficiaries.~ rights among themselves in matters concerning
principal and income. If PENNSYLV A1\TJA's Uniform Principal and Income Act

principal and income.

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.

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.
If my Trustees are unable to concur with respect to a matter as to which they have joint
powers, I request that the matter be settled by mediation and if necessary, arbitration in
accordance with the Uniform Arbitration Act. Each of my Trustees shall select an arbiter
13-4
and, if necessary to establish a majority decision, the arbiters so selected shall select an
additional arbiter. The decision of a majority of the arbiters so selected shall control with
respect to the matter.
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

Subject to the limitations set forth in Section 14.22, 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 of revocation 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.
Section13.12 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

Trustee shall treat the distribution as though it had been an original part of the second
trust.
13-5
Section 13.13 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. The separate trusts may be funded on a non pro
rata basis provided that funding is based on the total fair market value of the assets on the
date of funding. 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.
~I
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 13.14 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 temlinate the trust and distribute the trust property,
including any undistributed net income, in the following order of priority:
To me, if I am then living;
To the beneficiaries then entitled to mandatory distributions of net income
of the trust and in the saine 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.
13-6
Section 13.15 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 13.16 Beneficiary's Status
Until a Trustee receives notice of the incapacity, birth, marriage, death or other event
upon which a beneficiary's right to receive payments may depend, the 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.
A Trustee may rely on any information provided by a beneficiary with respect to the
beneficiary's assets and income. A 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 13.17 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 13.18 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 13.19 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
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
13-7
.'
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 13.20 Generation-Skipping Transfer 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 transfer 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.
(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.
13-8
(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.

My Trustee may manage real estate in any manner that my Trustee deems best and shall
have all other real estate powers necessary for this purpose.
My Trustee may enter into contracts to sell real estate. My Trustee may enter into leases

warranty agreements that my Trustee deems appropriate.
Section 14.18 Residences and Tangible Personal Property
My Trustee may acquire, maintain and invest in any residence for the use and benefit of
the beneficiaries, whether or not the residence is income producing and without regard to
the proportion that the value of the residence may bear to the total value of the trust
property and even if retaining the residence involves financial risks that trustees would
not ordinarily incur. My Trustee may payor make arrangements for others to pay all

the result of the exercise of a stock option. My Trustee may retain property,
notwithstanding the fact that the property may not be of the character prescribed by law
for the investment of assets held by a fiduciary, and notwithstanding the fact that
retention may result in inadequate diversification under any applicable Prudent Investor
Act or other applicable law.
(.
My Trustee may hold property that is non-income producing or is otherwise
nonproductive if holding the property is, in the sole and absolute discretion of my
Trustee, in the best interests of the beneficiaries. On the other hand, except when I am
serving as a Trustee, my Trustee shall invest contributions of cash and cash equivalents
as soon as reasonably practical after the assets have been acquired by the trust. My
Trustee is permitted to retain a reasonable amount in cash or money market accounts in

distributions to or for the benefit of a beneficiary.
My Trustee may abandon any trust property that my Trustee deems to be of insignificant
value.
Section 14.20 Securities, Brokerage and Margin Powers

companies, mutual funds, common trust funds, commodities, options and other securities
of any kind and in any amount, including short sales. My Trustee may write and

margin accounts with brokerage firms and may pledge securities to secure loans and
advances made to my Trustee or to or for the benefit of a beneficiary.

bank or trust company. My Trustee may have all securities registered in the name of the
bank or trust company or in the name of its nominee. My Trustee may appoint the bank
or trust company as the agent or attorney in fact to collect, receive, receipt for and
disburse any income and generally to perform the duties and services incident to a
custodian of accounts.
14-8
My Trustee may employ a broker-dealer as a custodian for securities held by the trust and
may register the securities in the name of the broker-dealer or in the name of a nominee
with or without the addition of words indicating that the securities are held in a fiduciary
capacity. My Trustee, may hold securities in bearer or uncertificated form and may use a

transaction. My Trustee may exercise or sell conversion or subscription rights for
securities of all kinds and description.
My Trustee may give proxies or powers of attorney that may be discretionary and with or
without powers of substitution. My Trustee may vote or refrain from voting as to any
matter.
Section 14.21 Settlement Powers
My Trustee may settle, by compromise, adjustment, arbitration or otherwise any and all
claims and demands in favor of or against the trust. My Trustee may release or abandon
any claim in favor of the trust.
Section 14.22 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
14-9
distribution of income or principal to any person the beneficiary having
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.
14-10
Article Fifteen
General Provisions
Section 15.01 Maximum Term for Trusts
Notwithstanding any other provision of this agreement, unless terminated earlier under other
provisions of this agreement, each trust created under this agreement shall terminate upon the
expiration of the longest period that property may be held in trust under this agreement without
violating the applicable rule against perpetuities.
If the applicable rule against perpetuities for trusts is determined by reference to the death of the
last to die among a group of individuals living on the date of my death, the group of individuals
shall consist of the descendants of my paternal and maternal grandparents and the descendants of
John Davison Rockefeller, born in Richford, New York, in 1839, who are living at the date of
my death.
At that time, the remaining trust property shall vest in and be distributed to the persons entitled to
receive mandatory distributions of net income of the trust and in the same proportions. If none
of the beneficiaries is entitled to mandatory distributions of net income, the remaining trust
property shall vest in and be distributed to the beneficiaries entitled to receive discretionary
distributions of net income of the trust, in equal shares per stirpes.
Section 15.02 Spendthrift Provision
Neither the income nor the principal of the trust property may be assigned, anticipated or
alienated in any manner by any beneficiary, nor shall it be subject to attachment, bankruptcy
proceedings or any other legal process, or to the interference or control of creditors or others.
Nothing contained in this Section shall restrict in any way the exercise of any power of
appointment granted in this agreement.
Section 15.03 Contest Provision
If, after receiving a copy of this Section, any person shall, in any manner, directly or indirectly,
attempt to contest or oppose the validity of this agreement, (including any amendment to this
agreement), or commences, continues or prosecutes any legal proceedings to set this agreement
aside, then such person shall forfeit his or her share, cease to have any right or interest in the
trust property, and shall, for purposes of this agreement be deemed to have predeceased me.
This Section may not be applied so as to cause a forfeiture of any distribution otherwise
qualifying for the federal estate tax charitable deduction.
15-1
Section 15.04 Survivorship Presumption
If any beneficiary is living at my death, but dies within 45 days after my death, then the
beneficiary will be deemed to have predeceased me for purposes of this agreement.
Section 15.05 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 15.06 Definitions
For purposes of this agreement, the following terms have the following meanings:
(a) Adopted and Afterborn Persons
A legally adopted person in any generation and his or her descendants, including
adopted descendants, has the same rights and shall 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 is
deemed to be legally adopted if the adoption was legal in the jurisdiction in which
it occurred at the time that it occurred.
A fetus in utero that is later born alive shall be considered a person in being
during the period of gestation.
(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
"My available GST Exemption" means the GST Exemption provided in 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
15-2
amount, if any, allocated to direct skips as defined in Section 2612(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.
(d) Descendants
The term "descendants" shall include a person's lineal descendants of all
generations.
(e) Education
The term "education" is intended to be an ascertainable standard in accordance
with Section 2041 and Section 2514 of the Internal Revenue Code and shall
include, but not be limited to:
Enrollment at private elementary, junior and senior high school
including boarding school;
Undergraduate and graduate study in any field at a college or
university;
Specialized, vocational or professional training or instruction at
any institution, including private instruction; and
Any other curriculum or activity that my Trustee may deem useful
for developing the abilities and interests of a beneficiary including,
without limitation, athletic training, musical instruction, theatrical
training, the arts and travel.
The term "education" shall also include distributions made by my Trustee for
expenses such as tuition, room and board, fees, books and supplies, tutoring and
transportation and a reasonable allowance for living expenses.
(1) Incapacity
Except as otherwise provided in this agreement, a person is deemed incapacitated
in anyone of the following circumstances.
15-3
(1) The Opinion of Two Licensed Physicians
An individual is 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.
An individual is deemed restored to capacity whenever the
individual's personal or attending physician provides a written
opinion that the individual is able to effectively manage his or her
property and financial affairs.
(2) Court Determination
An individual is deemed incapacitated if a court of competent
jurisdiction has declared the individual to be disabled, incompetent
or legally incapacitated.
(3) Detention, Disappearance or Absence
An individual is deemed incapacitated whenever he or she cannot
effectively manage his or her property or 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.
(g) Income Beneficiary
The term "income beneficiary" means any beneficiary who is then entitled 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. For purposes of this
calculation, beneficiaries who are eligible to receive discretionary distributions of
net income are deemed to receive the income in equal shares.
15-4
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.
(h) Independent Trustee
The term "Independent Trustee" means a Trustee who is not an Interested Trustee
as defined in subsection (i) and includes an Independent Special Trustee
appointed under the provisions of Section 3.08. 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.
(I) 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 and replace by appointing a
Trustee that is related or subordinate to the beneficiary within the meaning of
Section 672(c) of the Internal Revenue 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.
(j) Internal Revenue Code and Treasury Regulations
1
,
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 Revenue Code is renumbered, or the
Internal Revenue Code is superseded by a subsequent federal tax law, any
reference is 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 expressed in this agreement. The same rule shall apply to
references to the Treasury Regulations.
15-5
(k) Legal Representative or Personal Representative
As used in this agreement, the term "legal representative" or "Personal
Representative" means a person's guardian, conservator, executor, administrator,
Trustee, or any other person or entity personally representing a person or the
person's estate.
(I) Per Stirpes
Whenever a distribution is to be made to a person's descendants "per stirpes," the
distribution shall be divided into as many shares as there are then living children
of the 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 manner.
(m) 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).
(n) 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.
(0) Trust
The terms "this trust" or "this trust agreement" shall refer to this agreement and
all trusts created under the terms of this agreement.
(p) Trustee
The term "my Trustee" or "Trustee" refers to the Trustee named in Article One
and to any successor, substitute, replacement or additional person, corporation or
other entity that is from time to time acting as the Trustee of any trust created
under the terms of this agreement. The term "Trustee" refers to singular or plural
as the context may require.
,/
15-6
(q) Trustmaker
The term ''Trostmaker'' has the same legal meaning as "Grantor," "Settlor,"
''Trustor'' or any other term referring to the maker of a trust.
(r) Trust Property
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.
Section 15.07 General Provisions and Rules of Construction
The following general provisions and rules of construction shall apply to this agreement:
(a) Duplicate Originals
This agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which is
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
I
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 have no
significance in the interpretation or construction of this agreement.
(d) Governing State Law
This agreement is governed, construed and administered according to the laws of
the Commonwealth of PENNSYLVANIA as from time to time amended, except
as to trust property required by law to be governed by the laws of another
jurisdiction and unless the Situs of Administration is changed as provided in
Section 15.05.
15-7
(e) Notices
Unless otherwise stated, whenever this agreement calls for notice, the notice must
be in writing and must be personally delivered with proof of delivery, or mailed
postage prepaid by certified mail, return receipt requested, to the last known
address of the party requiring notice. Notice is effective on the date personally
delivered or on the date of the return receipt. If a party giving notice does not
receive the return receipt but has proof that he or she mailed the notice, notice is
effective on the date it would normally have been received via certified mail. If
notice is required to be given to a minor or incapacitated individual, notice must
be given to the parent or legal representative of the minor or incapacitated
individual.
(f) 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 are to 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. I certify to the officer
taking my acknowledgment that I have read this trust agreement, that I understand it, and that it
correctly states the provisions under which my trust property is to be administered and
distributed by my Trustee.

Re: Alfarata Dunn
Dear Peggy:
As you know from our phone conversation, this firm has been retained to represent
Alfarata (Freddi) Dunn. To this end, we need to straighten out the three bank accounts that
are being held at PNC Bank. As you know, these funds belong to Freddi but the accounts
are in multiple names. The accounts in question are as follows:
Account Number 50-0198-5481 in the names of Alfarata Dunn and Robert Trace.
Account Number 50-0116-1837 in the names of Alfarata Dunn and Robert Trace.
Account Number 50-0454-4331 in the names of Alfarata Dunn, Robert Trace and
Margaret T. Foster.
Since you stated that you would cooperate with us to transfer these funds into
Freddi's name, I enclose a format of a letter that I would ask that you send to PNC Bank.
It is our goal to transfer these accounts to Freddi's name then consolidate the funds into one
account. Your help in this regard will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you for your attention to this matter. If you should have any questions,
please do not hesitate to contact me.

RE: Alfarata Dunn
Dear Ms. Puliti:
As you are aware, my father Robert Trace managed funds for Alfarata Dunn as her Power
of Attorney. As you are also aware, my father died recently leaving several accounts with PNC Bank
in his name and Ms. Dunn's name. For your convenience, I hereby enclose a death certificate for
my father.
I have been contacted by counsel for Ms. Dunn, John DeLorenzo, Esq. with the firm of
Goldberg Katzman, P.C., who is presently attempting to secure Ms. Dunn's funds so that they may
be consolidated into one account. Therefore, I am requesting that the following accounts be placed
in Ms. Dunn's sole name:
Account Number: 50-0198-5481 in the names of Alfarata Dunn and Robert Trace.
Account Number: 50-0116-1837 in the names of Alfarata Dunn and Robert Trace.
Account Number: 50-0454-4331 in the names of Alfarata Dunn, Robert Trac~ and Margaret
T. Foster.
If you have any questions about the above or should need any further information, you may
contact me or Attorney DeLorenzo at 234-4161.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.
Sincerely,
Margaret T. Foster

RE: Annuity Contract No. S6648026
ROBERT J TRACE, Deceased
Dear Ms. Foster:
The claim under the above-referenced Annuity Contract has been approved for payment of a death
benefit of $78,085.98 plus interest at the rate of 3% from the date of death, 02/15/2006, until the
date of settlement, 03/3012006, in the amount of $275.97. Your share is 1/3. Our check for
$26,120.65, payable to you for your portion of the proceeds, is being sent under separate cover.
The original death benefit was $79,285.98, the date of death value, but a check representing a
systematic payout in the amount of$1,200.00 was sent to Mr. Trace after his date of death. We
deducted this amount from the death benefit.
The difference between the death benefit and the cost basis of $64,751.13 is taxable as ordinary
income. The taxable amount is $13,334.85. Next January, you will receive a Form 1099R for the
taxable amount of $4,444.95 and a Form 1099INT for $91.99, your interest paid.
Receipt of these proceeds satisfies our obligation under the above-referenced Annuity Contract. If
you have any questions or concerns regarding this matter, please do not hesitate to contact me at
1-800-366-6654 Option 3, or (513) 794-646 or e-mail bmoore@ohionational.com.
