Trustees, by gift, by Will or by beneficiary designation, such additional property, including life
insurance policies, as I may desire. Any such additional property shall be held on the same terms
as are then applicable to the original Trust Estate, except that it may be transferred subject to
conditions and provisions of special application to such additional property.
Article II After My Death
The following provisions shall apply after my death:
Section 2.1. - Payment of My Debts and of Taxes and Expenses
My Trustee shall pay from the principal of the Trust Estate (a) my debts, funeral and
burial expenses and the administration expenses of my probate estate which are not paid by the
Executors of my probate estate, and (b) the federal and state estate, inheritance, succession,
generation skipping and similar taxes imposed by reason of my death which are the obligations
of my Trustees (including any of such taxes which the Executors of my probate estate direct my
Trustees to pay by written direction delivered to my Trustees). For purposes of this Section 2.1,
the principal of the Trust Estate shall not include (a) any assets which are not included in my

not be satisfied from my probate estate because such assets were held by my Trustees at my
death, my Trustees shall distribute such assets to satisfy such bequest or devise.

insufficient to pay all of the remaining bequests in Article II, Section 2.3(A), then the
beneficiaries of all such remaining bequests in Article II, Section 2.3(A) shall share on a

Section 5.1. - Exercise of Discretionary Powers
Except as hereinbefore specifically provided, in connection with the exercise of a
discretionary power to distribute income or principal to any person, there shall be no
requirement to take into account such person's other income or capital resources, the interest of
such person in any other fund or the duty of anyone to support such person, although these
factors may be taken into account.
Section 5.2. - Discretionary Distributions
Any discretionary payment from any trust hereunder shall be charged against such trust
as a whole, and shall not be charged against the individual share of any person at any time.

into shares or trusts involving a fraction, my Trustees shall apply such fraction to the fair market
CONFIdENTIAL GJ 000442
SDNY_GM_00008119
EFTA_00 I 2079 I
EFTA01266470
value of the relevant assets on the date of such distribution, allocation, or division, whichever
first occurs. My Trustees shall appropriately adjust such fractions to reflect the effect of any
partial distributions, allocations, or divisions, taking into account the fair market value as of the
date of distribution, allocation, or division, whichever first occurred, of the assets so distributed,
allocated, or divided.
B. My Trustees shall value any assets distributed, allocated, or divided to
satisfy (in whole or in part) a pecuniary distribution at the fair market value of such assets on
the date of such distribution, allocation, or division, whichever first occurs.
Section 5.4. - Accounting Allocations
A. Except as otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement and except

instrument originally issued or acquired at a discount equal to the amount which (1) has
previously been characterized as ordinary income for income tax purposes or (2) will be
characterized as ordinary income for income tax purposes in the year of such sale, as income for
trust accounting purposes.
Section 5.5. - Spendthrift Provision
During the term of any trust hereunder, no money or other assets (either principal or
income) payable or distributable under the provisions of this Agreement shall be pledged,
assigned, transferred, given, conveyed, hypothecated, sold, anticipated, charged, or encumbered
by any of the Beneficiaries hereunder, nor shall the income and principal of any trust, while in
the possession of my Trustees, be liable for any debts, contracts, obligations, or undertakings of
such Beneficiaries, voluntary or involuntary, or for any claims or judgments against any
Beneficiary, including claims for alimony or for the support of any Beneficiary's spouse or
children, or for reimbursement of a federal, state or local government, or any agency of any
federal, state, or local government, for the support of any Beneficiary hereunder, prior to the
time such money or assets are actually paid or distributed to such Beneficiary. Any attempted
pledge, assignment, transfer, gift, conveyance, hypothecation, anticipation, charge, or
encumbrance of any money or assets (either income or principal) payable or distributable under
the provisions of this Agreement by any of the Beneficiaries hereunder prior to the time such

facilities, or any other care or service that would otherwise be provided for any Beneficiary
hereunder by any federal, state, or other governmental agency; and no such discretionary
distribution of income or principal shall be made for reimbursement for any such care, facilities
or services previously provided. Before making any discretionary payment to or for the benefit
of any such Beneficiary hereunder, my Trustees shall consider the amounts such Beneficiary is
or may be entitled to receive from any governmental agency for such care, facilities, or services.
If such amounts are available, discretionary distributions of income and principal from any trust
hereunder shall be made only to supplement such amounts, and to provide liberally for needs
and comforts over and above the basic maintenance, support, and medical care that may be paid
for by any such agency.
Section 5.7. - Division and Combination of Trusts
A. For any administrative, tax or other purpose determined by my Trustees
to be in the best interests of any Beneficiary (including any remainderman) hereunder, my

approval of any court, divide any trust under this Agreement into two or more separate trusts or
combine two or more trusts with substantially identical terms (whether or not such trusts resulted
from division of a prior trust).
B. If property is directed to be added to any trust hereunder (the "Original
Trust"), whether by the terms of this Agreement any other agreement, or the Will of any person,
my Trustees may hold such property as one or more separate trusts on terms identical to the
terms of the Original Trust. My Trustees may allocate such property among the separate trusts
(if any) into which the Original Trust was divided, whether or not pro-rata, using specific
assets or undivided interests therein (including allocation of all such property to one of such separate
trusts).
C. Any time during the existence of separate trusts created by division of a
trust hereunder, my Trustees may exercise all discretionary powers differently with respect to
the separate trusts and take all other actions consistent with such trusts being separate entities.
Furthermore, the holder of any power of appointment with respect to such separate trusts may
exercise such power differently with respect to each such trust.

trust under this Agreement, my Trustees may terminate the trust hereunder and transfer the
assets thereof to the Trustees of such other trust, to be administered by the Trustees thereof.
Different termination dates under the applicable Rule Against Perpetuities shall not be deemed
a difference in the terms of such trusts, but the portion of the trust representing the transferred
assets shall retain the same termination date as the original trust.
Section 5.9. -Termination of Trusts
CONFIdENTIAL GJ 000444
SDNY_GM:00008121
EFTA_00120793
EFTA01266472

period permitted under the United States Virgin Islands Rule Against Perpetuities, for the

such person.
Section 5.10. — EquitableAdjustment
If any of my Trustees decides to exercise or not exercise any fiduciary power granted by
this Agreement or by law (including, without limitation, any election available to my Trustee)
and the exercise or nonexercise of such power confers a benefit on one Beneficiary or class of
Beneficiaries hereunder and imposes a detriment upon another Beneficiary or class of
Beneficiaries hereunder, my Trustees shall not attempt to restore the interests of the
Beneficiaries or classes of Beneficiaries to the position otherwise contemplated by this
Agreement through adjustment between income and principal or otherwise.
Section 5.11. - Lapsed Distribution
Except as otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement, a provision for distribution
to an individual who is not surviving at the date such individual otherwise becomes eligible for
such distribution shall lapse notwithstanding any law to the contrary.

certified mail addressed to the last known address of the intended recipient.

have the same Trustees), to keep the assets of such trusts invested and handled as a single fund

Section 6.5. - Restrictions on Exercise of 111v Trustee's Powers
A. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, a
Trustee shall not participate in a discretionary decision to exercise or not exercise any fiduciary
power to (1) distribute income from or principal of any trust hereunder to himself or herself; or
(2) distribute income from or principal of any trust hereunder for the health, support,
maintenance or education of a Beneficiary if such Trustee has a legal obligation to provide for
the health, support, maintenance or education of such Beneficiary from such Trustee's personal
assets. For purposes of this paragraph, a person whose interest in a trust hereunder is limited to
a remote contingent interest (for example, a contingent remainderman whose interest depends
upon another person failing to survive to a specified age or a person designated to receive assets
CONFIdENTIAL GJ 000450
SDNY_GM_00008127
EFTA_00 120799
EFTA01266478
only in the event a power of appointment is not exercised) shall not be treated as a person who
is or may be a Beneficiary of such trust.
B. A Trustee of any trust hereunder may by a written notice delivered to the
other Trustee (or Trustees) of such trust decline to participate in the decision to exercise or not
exercise any fiduciary power granted by this Agreement or bylaw.
C. If a Trustee of any trust hereunder is not empowered (because of a
conflict of interest, declination to act or otherwise) to participate in the decision to exercise or
not exercise any fiduciary power granted by this Agreement or by law, then the remaining
Trustee or Trustees of such trust shall be empowered to make such decision. If no Trustee or
successor Trustee is empowered to participate in such decision, my Trustees may designate a
substitute Trustee to serve as Trustee of such trust who shall be empowered to make such
decision but has no other power or authority of the Trustees. Such designation shall be by
written notice delivered to such substitute Trustee.
Article VII Provisions Concerning Trustees
Section 7.1. - Successor Trustees
A. In the event a Trustee of any trust created pursuant to the provisions of
Section 2.3(A)(33) of Article II and Section 3.2 of Article III, or any successor Trustee thereof,
resigns, is removed, becomes incapacitated or is unwilling or is unable to serve, a successor
Trustee shall be appointed to fill the vacancy thereby created, such that the total number of
Trustees acting on behalf of such trust at all times shall be two. Said successor Trustee may be
appointed at any time by the Trustees then acting, or, if, as a result of said vacancy, only one
Trustee is then acting, by the sole remaining Trustee then acting.
B. Except as specifically provided in Section 7.1(A) of this Article VII, in
the event a Trustee of the Trust resigns, is removed, becomes incapacitated or is unwilling or
is unable to serve, a successor Trustee shall be appointed to fill the vacancy thereby created,
such that the total number of Trustees acting on behalf of the Trust at all times shall be three.
BARNABY MARSH shall first be appointed to fill any such vacancy, and thereafter the
successor Trustee appointed to fill any such vacancy shall be appointed by the Trustees then
acting, including, but not limited to, if there are fewer than three Trustees then acting.
Section 7.2. - Appointment of Trustee
The appointment of a successor Trustee hereunder shall become effective when such
successor Trustee signs an acceptance of the trust.

Any Trustee may resign at any time, without the approval of any court, by an instrument
in writing filed with the trust records. In addition, if there is filed with the trust records a written
CONFIdENTIAL GJ 000451
SDNY_GM_00008128
EFTA _00120800
EFTA01266479
certification from any attending physician of any individual Trustee of a trust that he or she is
no longer able to make decisions with respect to such trust, then from the date of filing of such
certification, such individual Trustee shall be deemed to have resigned for all purposes of this
Agreement.
Section 7.4. - Vacancy in Office
If there is a vacancy in the Trustees and no successor Trustee is designated pursuant to
Section 7.1 who is willing to act, the legally competent adult Beneficiary (or a majority in
beneficial interest of the legally competent adult Beneficiaries if there are multiple
Beneficiaries) then entitled or permitted to receive income from such trust shall designate a
successor Trustee by an instrument in writing delivered to the designated Trustee. If the legally
competent adult Beneficiaries do not designate a successor Trustee within sixty days after
receipt of notice of such vacancy or if there is no legally competent adult Beneficiary of such
trust, then a successor Trustee shall be named by order of a court of competent jurisdiction. All
of the fees and expenses of my Trustees (including attorneys' fees) attributable to the
appointment of a successor Trustee of a trust shall be paid from the assets of such trust.
Section 7.5. - Elimination of Bond
No bond or other security shall be required of any Trustee hereunder in any jurisdiction.
Section 7.6. - Exculpation and Indemnification of My Trustee
No one serving as the Trustee of any trust under this Agreement shall be accountable or
responsible to any person interested in any trust hereunder for the manner in which my Trustees
shall in good faith exercise any discretionary authority or any power of my Trustees. No one
serving as the Trustee of any trust under this Agreement shall be liable for any loss or
depreciation in value occasioned by reason of any negligence, error or mistake of judgment in
entering into any transaction, in making any sale or investment, in continuing to hold any
property, or by reason of any action or omission, whether by my Trustees or any other fiduciary,
unless such Trustee has acted in bad faith. In the absence of proof by affirmative evidence to the
contrary, each Trustee shall be deemed to have acted within the scope of my Trustees' authority,
to have exercised reasonable care, diligence, and prudence and to have acted impartially as to
all interested persons. A Trustee shall not be liable for the acts or defaults of another Trustee.
In the event a legal action is brought against any individual serving as the Trustee of any
trust under this Agreement, all legal fees and related expenses incurred in connection with the
defense of such legal action shall be paid by such trust without court authorization; provided,
however, that (a) no such payment shall (or shall continue to) be made if a court enters an order
prohibiting such payment, and (b) such Trustee shall refund to the trust any such payments that
previously had been made if a court enters an order directing that such payments be refunded,
or if a court concludes that such Trustee acted in bad faith.
Section 7.7. - Relief from Virgin Islands Statutory Provisions
Pursuant to Section 1212, Title IS, of the Virgin Islands Code, I hereby relieve my
Trustees and any successor Trustees of the requirements imposed by Chapter 59, Title 15 of the
Virgin Islands Code, or any similar successor law respecting public filings of inventories and
CONFIdENTIAL GJ 000452
SDNY_GM_00008129
EFTA_00 120801
EFTA01266480
accountings by Trustees. Furthermore, pursuant to Section 1107, Title 15, of the Virgin Islands
Code, I hereby relieve my Trustees and any successor Trustees, to the extent allowable, from
any and all duties, restrictions, and liabilities which would otherwise be imposed upon my
Trustees by Chapter 57, Title 15, Virgin Islands Code. This Section 7.7 of this Article VII shall
not be deemed a waiver of any and all other rights, powers, or restrictions otherwise granted to
my Trustees in this Agreement.
Article VIII Miscellaneous Provisions
Section 8.1. - Representation of Person Under a Disability
To the extent allowed by law, where a party to any proceeding with respect to any trust
hereunder has the same interest as a person under a disability, legal process shall not be required
on the person under a disability.
Section 8.2. - Simultaneous Deaths
If a Beneficiary under this Agreement and I die simultaneously or under such
circumstances that it is difficult to determine who died first, then for all purposes of this
Agreement such Beneficiary shall be deemed to have predeceased me.
Section 8.3. - Law Governing
This Agreement and each trust created by it shall in all respects and for all purposes be
governed and regulated by the laws of the Territory of the United States Virgin Islands, as they
now exist and may from time to time be enacted, amended, or repealed. All questions regarding
the validity, construction and administration of this Agreement, or any of its provisions, and of
any trust created by it shall be determined solely by the laws of that Territory. The courts of the
State of Delaware and the U.S. Virgin Islands shall have primary supervision over the
administration of each trust created by this Agreement. It is intended that each such trust shall
be a U.S. domestic trust as defined in Title 26 section 7701(a)(30) of the Code by virtue of
meeting the court and control test. As provided in Treas Reg. section 301.770 I -7(c)(4)(D),
if both a United States court and a foreign court are able to exercise primary supervision over
the administration of the trust, the trust meets the court test.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, my Trustees of each trust
created under this Agreement have discretion at any time or times following my death to transfer
the situs of such trust to such other country, or such other jurisdiction as my Trustees determine,
without obtaining judicial authorization or approval (unless such judicial authorization or
approval is required by applicable law) and without the filing of any bond. My Trustees'
determination to transfer the situs of any trust under this Agreement shall be evidenced by an
instrument in writing signed, witnessed and acknowledged by my Trustees in the same manner
as would be required for a deed. My Trustees are authorized to take whatever actions are
necessary to effect such a transfer of situs. If judicial authorization or approval is required to
effect such a transfer of situs, I intend and desire that the appropriate court accept the
determination of my Trustees concerning the transfer of the situs of such trust even if one or
CONFI dENTIAL GJ 000453
SDW_GM:00008130
EFTA_00120802
EFTA01266481
more Beneficiaries disagree with such determination. From and after my Trustees' transfer of
the situs of a trust pursuant to this Section 8.3 of this Article VIII, the administration of such
trust shall be governed by the law of the new situs of such trust.
Section 8.4. - Definition of Terms
Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, as used in this Agreement,
A. The term "Trustee" means all persons or entities who occupy the office
of Trustee of any trust hereunder while such persons or entities occupy such office, whether one
or more persons or entities occupy the office of Trustee at the same time or times, and includes
any successor Trustee or Trustees. The term "Executor" of a person's estate means all persons
or entities who occupy the office of personal representative, administrator, executor, or ancillary
administrator while such persons or entities occupy such office, whether one or more persons or
entities occupy such office at the same time or times, and includes any successor or successors
to that office. A reference to a person's Will means such person's Last Will and Testament and
any Codicil or Codicils thereto.
B. A reference to any tax also includes any interest or penalties thereon. The
term "my Gross Estate" means my gross estate as finally determined for purposes of computing
my federal estate tax.
C. Whenever the singular number is used, the same shall include the plural,
and the masculine gender shall include the feminine and neuter genders.
Section 8.5. - No Contest
If any Beneficiary under this Agreement shall in any way directly or indirectly (a) contest
or object to the probate of my Will or to the validity of any disposition or provision of my Will
or of this Agreement or (b) institute or prosecute, or be in any way directly or indirectly
instrumental in the institution or prosecution of, any action, proceeding, contest, objection or
claim for the purpose of setting aside or invalidating my Will or this Agreement or any
disposition therein or herein or provision thereof or hereof, then I direct that (aa) any and all
provisions in this Agreement for such Beneficiary and his issue in any degree shall be null and
void and (bb) my estate whether passing under my Will or this Agreement or pursuant to the
laws of intestacy shall be disposed of as if such Beneficiary and his issue in any degree had all
failed to survive me.
Section 8.6. -Trustee Notice
My Trustees may have duties and responsibilities in addition to those described in this
Agreement. If my Trustees have questions, my Trustees should obtain legal advice.
