ARTICLE IV.
If, during any calendar year, including the calendar year the trust is created, any transfers
or additions are made to this trust by any person, including any transfer made to the trust upon
its creation, each beneficiary shall have the absolute right and power, at all times thereafter
during that calendar year to demand immediate distribution to himself or herself from this trust
of any amount (which the Trustees of the trust in their discretion may satisfy, in whole or part,
by distribution of property of equivalent current fair market value) equal to the lesser of:
A. ________________ Dollars ($__________), or
B. The total cumulative amount of all gifts, transfers or additions made by the
Grantor or any other person to this trust during such current calendar year, determined in the

Revocable Trust Agreement, Page 6
number of beneficiaries. All transfers or additions made by the Grantor or any other person to
the trust which are not treated as a gift for Federal gift tax purposes shall be excluded from
consideration under this Paragraph B just as though such transfers or additions had not been

Each beneficiary shall have the right and power to demand distribution from the trust at
any time during the calendar year in which the power arose, but in no event will a beneficiary

power is not exercised within the calendar year or within thirty (30) days of receipt of notice of
an addition, whichever is later, it shall lapse, and the beneficiary shall forever cease to have any
further right or power of demand with respect to transfers or additions made to the trust during
such calendar year. Such demand right and power shall be exercisable only by written
instrument executed by the beneficiary. If any child of the Grantor is entitled to exercise such
right and power but is then under any legal disability of any kind, the exercise shall be by his
legal guardian or if there is no guardian by his or her natural mother, acting solely on the child's
behalf in making such demand and receiving such distribution for his or her sole benefit. Each
and every time any addition is received by any trust hereunder which would give rise to such
demand right, the Trustees, within seven (7) calendar days from the date of receipt thereof, shall
give notice of such addition to the Beneficiaries, or if any beneficiary is then under legal
disability, to the guardian of his or her estate or if there is no guardian of his or her estate or if
there is no guardian to his or her natural mother. Upon receipt by the Trustees of any proper
written instrument of demand, such instrument shall be forthwith honored and satisfied by the
Trustees as provided above, and to this end the Trustees shall, at all times while such a demand
right is outstanding and exercisable, retain sufficient transferable assets in this trust to satisfy
such right of demand.
