THE ZZZ LIVING TRUST THIS DECLARATION OF TRUST is signed on this ______ day of ______________, 2006, in ccc, Virginia, by XXX and YYY, the Settlors and the original Trustees. In this Trust, the term “Trustee” includes Trustees and successor Trustees. Wherever the context requires, the singular includes the plural, and the masculine includes the feminine and neuter. The name of this trust shall be THE ZZZ LIVING TRUST. ARTICLE 1. SETTLORS’ POWERS: A. During Lifetime : Subject to the provisions of paragraph 1 immediately following, and of Article 3 B 3, the Settlors, acting jointly, reserve the right at any time or from time to time, to amend or revoke this Trust in whole or in part, by written instrument signed by them and delivered to the Trustee. However, with regard to the separate share of either Settlor (which respective share shall be described pursuant to the provisions of the following article), the owner/Settlor of his/her share may substitute or remove any trust property or alter, amend, or revoke this Trust with regard to his/her share. The owner/Settlor may exercise such powers over his/her share at any time during his/her lifetime. Upon revocation of this instrument in its entirety, the Trustee shall deliver to the Settlors (or to such recipient as they may direct in the instrument of revocation) their respective shares of the trust property. 1. After the death of one Settlor, the surviving Settlor shall have no power to alter, amend or revoke this Trust with respect to the decedent Settlor’s share but may continue to exercise such powers over his/her (survivor’s) share. B. If either Settlor becomes incapacitated (as determined under the same standards provided in Article 8 herein pertaining to the incapacity of a Trustee), the other Settlor may exercise the above-stated powers to amend or revoke with regard to the share of the incapacitated Settlor (including prior individually owned property contained therein) pursuant to the authority granted in a durable general power of attorney whether or not such power specifically grants such authority. C. By Will: The Settlors reserve the right to add property to this Trust by Will. ARTICLE 2. TRUST PROPERTY: A. The Settlors have delivered to the Trustee all their interest in the property described in the attached Schedules. The 2 Settlors declare that regardless of how such property was acquired or how titled (joint with survivorship, community, or otherwise), including policies of insurance, and any additional property later transferred to the Trustee, and all principal, receipts, reinvestments, refunds and replacements, such property shall for all purposes of this Trust be divided and applied as follows: 1. Assets belonging individually to either Settlor prior to transfer to this Trust shall be listed on separate schedules attached hereto known as “Husband’s Trust” and “Wife’s Trust.” Whether or not so indicated, such assets shall be applied to the share of the prior owner. 2. All property jointly held by the Settlors prior to transfer to this trust, and all community property, shall be held by the Trustee as two separate trusts (sometimes referred to as shares), one for each Settlor, whether or not physically segregated into separate accounts after transfer to this Trust. Such property may be listed on a separate Schedule attached hereto for informational purposes. The Settlors anticipate that most property, if not all, transferred to this Trust will be property which was held jointly prior to the creation of this Trust. The Trustee may also be named as beneficiary of any employee benefit plans and retirement plans, and may elect the mode of payment which appears to be the most advantageous to the trust and the beneficiaries, if not previously elected. 3 The Trustee acknowledges receipt of such property and agrees to hold in trust, manage and distribute the property and property later added to the Trust by the Settlors, or any other person, as provided in this Trust. B. This Trust shall be construed as two separate and distinct revocable living Trusts. The Settlors have chosen to maintain their separate Trusts together in this one Trust document for reasons personal to themselves, not the least of which is that they are husband and wife, and the idea of severing their properties into two separate trust documents is abhorrent. In every particular, however, the two Trusts shall be viewed as having separate and distinct existence, in the manner of tenancy in common, and shall be construed in light of this overriding pronouncement of each Settlor’s intent, so as to result in that construction which will not cause the APPLICABLE EXCLUSION Trust (also called herein the “by-pass Trust”) to be included in the taxable estate of the surviving Settlor, while at the same time allowing the full marital deduction with respect to any portion of the Trust of the first to die passing to the SURVIVOR’S Trust and continuing to be held in that Trust. C. Throughout this Agreement, various trusts are created to fulfill the intentions of the Settlors. Those trusts are referred to as follows: 4 1. Even though the Trustee may not cause a physical separation of assets, the Husband’s Trust and the Wife’s Trust are created upon the funding of this joint revocable living trust and continue so long as both Settlors are living, if not sooner revoked. 2. Upon the death of one of the Settlors, his or her trust becomes the Decedent’s Trust and the other trust becomes the Survivor’s Trust. The surviving Settlor has no power to revoke, alter or amend the Decedent’s Trust. 3. The By-Pass Trust (also known as the APPLICABLE EXCLUSION Trust) will be funded out of the Decedent’s Trust. The surviving Settlor has no power to revoke, alter or amend the By- Pass Trust. The Decedent’s Trust may also contribute additional funding to the Survivor’s Trust. ARTICLE 3. DISPOSITIVE PROVISIONS: A. During Settlors’ Lifetimes : During Settlors’ lifetimes, the Trustee shall pay to or for the benefit of each Settlor so much of the net income and principal of such Settlor’s share as each Settlor may from time to time request of the Trustee or as may be necessary, in the discretion of the Trustee, for the Settlors’ health, education, support, maintenance, comfort and welfare. 5 B. Upon Death of the First Settlor : Upon the death of the first Settlor, the Trustee shall from the decedent Settlor's share: 1. Pay his or her legally enforceable debts, expenses of last illness, and burial expense including the expense of a suitable marker, to the extent that these items shall not be paid or the responsibility for their payment be assured by some other person or estate. However, the Trustee, in its discretion, shall not be required to pay and discharge, both as to principal and interest, any valid lien, mortgage, or charge against any real property, including buildings and improvements, but may elect to treat such as a continuing debt. (a) Information pertaining to the income and expenses, if any, attributable to the decedent Settlor’s share from the date of death until the funding of the Survivor’s Trust and the By-Pass Trust as required hereafter shall be provided to the personal representative of the decedent Settlor’s estate for reporting on appropriate fiduciary income tax returns as may be required under tax laws then applicable. Net income from the decedent Settlor’s share until the funding of the separate trusts shall be allocated by the Trustee to each separate trust in proportion to the respective shares of such trusts. 2. Transfer into the surviving Settlor’s share, also known as the “Survivor’s Trust,” any portion of the decedent Settlor’s 6 share necessary to increase the surviving spouse’s estate under federal law to an amount which is equal to the total remaining unused applicable exclusion amount (as set forth in Section 2010 of the Internal Revenue Code, as may be amended from time to time) exemption equivalent available to the surviving Settlor in the year of the decedent Settlor’s death. This Survivor’s Trust shall continue to be held and administered according to the terms of the surviving Settlor’s original share, as set forth in Article 1 A and B, and Article 3 A, and all such other applicable provisions as set forth in the Trust declaration. 3. From the remaining balance of the decedent Settlor’s share, if any, transfer into a APPLICABLE EXCLUSION Trust, also known as the “By-Pass Trust,” any portion necessary to make the By-Pass Trust equal to the largest amount, if any, that can pass free of federal estate tax under this provision by reason of the decedent Settlor’s available applicable exclusion amount, as set forth in Section 2010 of the Internal Revenue Code, as may be amended from time to time (after taking into account all required charges against it), and the state death tax credit, as set forth in Section 2011 of the Internal Revenue Code, as may be amended from time to time (but only to the extent that use of this credit does not result in an increase in the aggregate federal estate tax and state death taxes payable) but no other credit. This By-Pass Trust shall thereafter be irrevocable regardless of any other 7 provision in this Trust to the contrary, and not later subject to the control of the surviving spouse except pursuant to certain powers granted in this By - Pass Trust to invade principal. 4. Transfer into the share of the surviving Settlor (the Survivor’s Trust) any additional balance of the decedent Settlor’s share not used to fund the By-Pass Trust as already provided; however, reserving to the surviving spouse the full and complete power to disclaim such property, in whole or in part, according to the provisions of I.R.C. Sec. 2518(b), as may be amended. The disclaimer shall be effective if (a) in writing indicating the property accepted and disclaimed and (b) received by the Trustee within nine (9) months of the date of the transfer of such property and (c) the surviving spouse has not accepted or benefitted from any property disclaimed prior to making the disclaimer. To the extent disclaimed, that portion shall become a part of the By-Pass Trust. 5. Pay to or for the benefit of the surviving spouse from the By-Pass Trust: (a) All of the net income, but not less frequently than annually. At the death of the surviving spouse, the Trustee shall pay any accrued or undistributed income to the legal representative of the spouse’s estate. (b) Such additional amounts of the trust principal, up to the entire amount, as the Trustee in its sole discretion may 8 consider necessary for the reasonable care, support, maintenance and education (considering any other sources of income to that beneficiary) of the surviving spouse. (c) An amount each calendar year as directed by the surviving spouse in writing and delivered to the Trustee not less than thirty (30) days prior to the end of any calendar year, not in excess of the greater of five thousand dollars ($5,000.00) or five percent (5%) of the market value of the principal on the last day of the calendar year in which the withdrawal is directed, such right to be noncumulative. (d) Any amount, up to the whole, which the Trustee, provided that the Trustee is an independent trustee , i.e., someone other than the surviving spouse of the decedent Settlor, may consider reasonable in its sole discretion for any purpose. 6. In exercising its discretion in the management of and distributions from the Survivor’s Trust and the By - Pass Trust, the Trustee is to consider the needs of the surviving spouse for support as the primary purpose of the Trusts. 7. Any distribution which may be required to be made to the surviving Settlor under this Trust Agreement may, in the discretion of the Trustee, be made instead to the Survivor’s Trust (or the Revocable Living Trust of the surviving Settlor), if such trust be in existence at the time of the distribution. 9 C. Upon the Death of Surviving Settlor : Upon the death of the surviving Settlor or the simultaneous death of the Settlors: 1. The Trustee shall pay from such Settlor’s share (the Survivor’s Trust) his or her legally enforceable debts, expenses of last illness, and burial expense to the extent that these items are not paid or the responsibility for their payment assured by some person or estate. (a) The tangible personal property shall be distributed among the beneficiaries of the Settlors as they may agree among themselves. The Settlors request that the Trustee and the Settlors’ beneficiaries abide by any written memorandum pertaining to the disposition of personal items which may be found among the papers of the Settlors. In case of dispute, final distribution shall be determined by the Trustee whose decision shall be binding. Distributions of tangible personal property do not need to be in equal shares. 2. The Trustee shall, subject to the conditions listed below, distribute the balance of the Survivor’s Trust and the By- Pass Trust to the following beneficiary or beneficiaries, in the percentage(s) listed: Beneficiary Percentage of Trust Principal 1. AAA 80% 2. BBB 10% 10 3. Daniel P. Fain 10% If any beneficiary is deceased at the time of distribution, then his or her share shall be distributed to the remaining beneficiaries. The net income and principal of any minor beneficiary’s share shall be held, managed and distributed by the Trustee for the reasonable care, support, maintenance and education of the minor as the Trustee in its sole discretion may deem proper, without regard to the duty of any person to support the minor and without regard to any other funds which may be available for that purpose, any unapplied income to be accumulated. The remaining principal of the minor beneficiary’s share and all accumulated income shall be distributed as specified above. (a) The term “issue” or “lineal descendants” as used in this Trust shall mean lawful descendants by blood or by adoption. The term “minor” shall mean any person who has not reached the age of twenty-one (21) years. The term “simultaneous,” as used in Paragraph C of this Article 3, shall apply whenever one Settlor dies within 30 days of the other Settlor. If the Settlors fail to survive each other by 30 days, their respective shares shall be distributed as if each Settlor died without the other Settlor surviving. (b) The interest of each beneficiary and all payments 11 of income or principal to be made to or for any beneficiary shall be free from the interference or control of any creditor or spouse of the beneficiary and shall not be capable of anticipation or assignment by the beneficiary. (c) Regardless of anything in this Trust to the contrary, the trusts created shall terminate not later than twenty-one (21) years after the death of the last to survive of the Settlors and all beneficiaries living at the effective date of the trust created hereunder. Upon that date, unless previously terminated, the Trustee shall distribute the principal and all accumulated income of each share to the beneficiary for whom it was held, or in the case of a minor, to the minor’s parent or guardian under the Uniform Transfer to Minors Act (21). ARTICLE 4. TRUSTEE’S POWERS: A. The Trustee shall have the following powers, which are in addition to all common law and statutory powers, and in addition to all other powers granted to the Trustee by this Trust, which shall continue after the termination of any of the trusts created by this Trust for the purpose of the distribution of all or any portion of the trust property, and which may be exercised at any time by the Trustee without approval from any court: All those powers set forth in Virginia Code Section 64.1-57, as amended from time to time. 12 B. The Trustee is directed to comply with any buy-sell or stock redemption agreement to which either Settlor may have been a party during his/her lifetime if it appears from the express language thereof that the Settlor intended thereby to bind his/her estate. The term “estate” shall be taken in such agreement to include this trust. C. The Trustee is further authorized to receive and retain any asset which does not meet the requirements of the prudent man and prudent investor standard set forth in Section 26-45.1 of the Code of Virginia for so long as the Trustee may deem appropriate. D. At any time that either of the Settlors or any successor Trustee is acting as a Trustee, the sole signature of a Settlor or of a successor Trustee as a Trustee shall be sufficient to execute general or special warranty deeds for the transfer of real property; proxies or powers of attorney to vote any securities or to represent the Trustee as the holder or owner of any securities or other assets; to execute stock powers or other endorsements or securities or any other negotiable instruments registered, issued or drawn in the name or to the order of the Trustee for the purpose of effecting assignment, transfer or delivery; and to sign checks or orders to pay on deposits, accounts or credit balances of the Trustee with any bank, banker, broker or trust company. E. The Trustee may purchase or exchange any assets from each Settlor’s trust or estate at fair market value in such 13 quantities as the Trustee deems advisable, and may loan all or a portion of the trust property to each Settlor’s testamentary estate, upon such terms and in such amount as the Trustee deems advisable, with or without taking security. F. The Trustee may allow the surviving spouse to occupy and use until his or her death, any house (or interest therein) used by either or both Settlors as a residence or vacation home during their lives. The surviving spouse shall not be required to pay rent for such use and may, upon his or her direction, have the Trustee sell such house and reinvest the proceeds. G. The powers and discretion granted to the Trustee are exercisable only in a fiduciary capacity and may not be used to enlarge or shift any beneficial interest except as an incidental consequence of the discharge of fiduciary duties. No individual serving as Trustee shall have a voice in any discretionary decision to distribute income or principal of any trust in order to discharge a legal obligation of the individual or for the individual’s pecuniary benefit unless necessary for the individual’s support, health, or education. H. No person or corporation dealing with the Trustee shall be required to investigate the Trustee’s authority for entering into any transaction or to see to the application of the proceeds of any transaction. 14 ARTICLE 5. S CORPORATIONS: If at the time of any Settlor’s death, that Settlor’s share of this Trust is composed of any stock in a corporation that has continued its election to be taxed under Sections 1361 through 1379 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, then the Trustee may, in the Trustee’s sole discretion, within two (2) years of the date of Settlor’s death, affirmatively refuse to consent to the continuation of such election, and the determination of the Trustee shall be binding upon all persons having any interest under this Trust. The Trustee is authorized, in the Trustee’s sole discretion, to cause any corporation whose shares are being held as an asset of the Trust to be taxed pursuant to the provisions of Sections 1361 through 1379 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as may be amended. ARTICLE 6. PAYMENTS TO PERSONS UNDER DISABILITY AND CHARITY: Whenever the trust property or any income of the trust property shall become payable, or is required to be paid pursuant to the provisions of Article 3 to a minor or to a person not adjudicated incompetent but who by reason of illness or mental or physical disability or incapacity is under such disability, the Trustee upon receipt of a written certificate to that effect from the beneficiary’s physician, or if the beneficiary has no physician or the physician is unavailable, from a licensed medical doctor of the Trustee’s own choosing, may then make payment in the Trustee’s 15 sole discretion: (a) directly to the beneficiary; (b) to the legally appointed guardian or conservator or other legal representative of the beneficiary; (c) to some near relative of the beneficiary to be applied for the beneficiary; (d) by expenditure by the Trustee for the support, maintenance, education or medical care of the beneficiary; or (e) to a custodian under the Uniform Transfer to Minors Act (21). The payment or expenditure shall be a full release of the Trustee in each instance. In the event of incapacity or disability of either Settlor, the Trustees may in their discretion continue any plan of charitable giving initiated by that Settlor. ARTICLE 7. DISTRIBUTION AND ALLOCATION OF TRUST PROPERTY: A. When distribution of trust property is made pursuant to any provision of this Trust, the Trustee is authorized and empowered in his sole discretion to make distribution in kind or in cash, or partly in both. The determination of the Trustee as to the value of any property for the purpose of any distribution shall be binding and conclusive upon all persons who are then or may later become entitled to share in the trust property. B. The Trustee may purchase or exchange any assets from each Settlor’s trust or estate at fair market value in such quantities as the Trustee deems advisable, and may loan all or a 16 portion of the trust property to each Settlor’s testamentary estate, upon such terms and in such amount as the Trustee deems advisable, with or without taking security. C. Assets allocated to one trust or share may be of different character or have different income tax bases than assets allocated to another trust or share. ARTICLE 8. TRUSTEES: A. Any Trustee may resign at any time by giving at least thirty (30) days written notice of its intention to do so, delivered personally or by registered mail to the remaining Trustee, or if none, to at least one beneficiary. The disability or incapacity of a Trustee may be established by receipt of a written certificate to that effect from the Trustee’s physician, or if none, or if unavailable, from a licensed medical doctor of the co- or succeeding Trustee’s own choosing. B. In the case of death, resignation, disability or incapacity of either original Trustee, the surviving Settlor may in his/her discretion serve as sole Trustee. In the case of death, resignation, disability or incapacity of both original Trustees, AAA shall be the Trustee. If AAA is unable to serve as Trustee, for any reason, then BBB shall serve as Trustee. A Trustee may request that the next successor Trustee serve as co-Trustee. If a successor Trustee has not been nominated under this Agreement, the 17 Trustee may in its discretion appoint a co-Trustee. Any co-Trustee may delegate its powers in writing to the other Trustee for a period not to exceed six (6) months, may revoke that designation, and may successively renew it. C. The last successor Trustee may appoint a successor Trustee. Any successor Trustee shall be deemed to be in office and entitled to act upon delivery of its written acceptance of this Trust to an acting Trustee, or if none, to at least one beneficiary. Any successor Trustee shall have all the powers, immunities and discretions given to the original Trustee. D. No Trustee shall be required to give bond for the performance of its duties, or if required by law, no surety shall be required on such bond. No Trustee shall be liable for anything done or omitted to be done in good faith, nor for any acts of any co - Trustee, nor for the acts or omissions of any agent appointed with due care, nor for anything other than its own willful default or gross negligence. E. The original Trustee(s) hereunder shall not be entitled to any compensation for its/their services, but any successor Trustee shall be entitled to reasonable compensation for its services and to reimbursement for expenses. ARTICLE 9. TAXES: On the death of a Settlor, the Trustee shall pay out of that Settlor’s share upon the request of the 18 legal representative of that Settlor’s probate estate, if any, such sums as the representative shall state to be necessary for payment of federal estate taxes and state death taxes resulting from that Settlor’s death, whether or not attributable to property subject to probate administration or any other expenses incurred in the settlement of that Settlor’s estate. Such taxes shall not be charged against the share of any beneficiary. If at the time of any Settlor’s death, the Trustee holds as part of that Settlor’s share of the Trust property United States Treasury Bonds redeemable at par for the payment of federal estate taxes, then, regardless of anything in this Trust to the contrary, the Trustee shall apply such bonds unto the whole thereof to the payment of federal estate taxes due by reason of the Settlor’s death. Any taxes on future or contingent interests may in the Trustee’s discretion be settled or compromised and paid at any time or times before those taxes become due. In the event that no representative of the Settlor’s probate estate is appointed, then the Trustee shall in its sole discretion determine the sums payable for these purposes. ARTICLE 10. INSURANCE: Either Settlor may deposit with the Trustee any policies of insurance owned by that Settlor, but at any time before such Settlor’s death the Settlor depositing the insurance shall have the right to withdraw any or all of such 19 policies from the possession of the Trustee for any purpose. During the life of the insured Settlor, the Trustee shall be under no obligation to pay premiums on any policies deposited with it. After the insured Settlor’s death, the Trustee shall make a reasonable effort to collect the proceeds of any policies of insurance. The Trustee may obtain reimbursement out of the trust property for any advances made or expenses incurred in attempting to collect insurance proceeds. No insurance company shall be responsible for the execution of any provisions of this Trust. ARTICLE 11. PLACE OF EXECUTION AND SELECTIONS OF “SITUS”: The Trust is executed within and shall be initially governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia as of the date of the execution of this Trust, and all rights of the persons who now or later may become entitled to share in the principal or income of the trust property shall be determined in accordance with those laws until selection of other “situs” has been made. The Trustee shall select that “situs” as in its sole opinion best carries out the Settlors’ purposes, and may change “situs” whenever it seems best to the Trustee, regardless of anything in this Trust to the contrary. ARTICLE 12. TRUSTEE AMENDMENT OF ADMINISTRATIVE PROVISIONS: The Trustee may, upon giving notice to each beneficiary, amend, 20 either in whole or in part, any administrative provision of this Trust which causes unanticipated tax liability, or conform the administrative provisions of the Trust to the requirements of the taxing authorities. The Trustee is, therefore, expressly authorized to enter into any agreements with the Internal Revenue Service or any other governmental body and to execute any documents as will in the discretion of the Trustee, tend to minimize the taxes resulting from this Trust. ARTICLE 13. CONSTRUCTION: The paragraph headings used are for convenience only and shall not be resorted to for interpretation of this Trust. If any portion of this Trust is held to be void or unenforceable, the remainder shall still be considered valid. ARTICLE 14. CERTIFIED COPIES : To the same effect as if it were the original, anyone may rely upon a copy certified by a notary public to be true copy of this Declaration of Trust (and attachments, if any). Anyone may rely fully upon any statements of fact certified by one who appears from the original Declaration or an executed counterpart or a certified copy to be the Trustee. ARTICLE 15. PURPOSE : The purpose of this Trust, among others, is to provide for the management of each Settlor’s assets, both presently and during any future period of disability, a preferred 21 alternative to guardianship proceedings, and a simplified means of accomplishing both lifetime and death transfers of those assets. ARTICLE 16.
