Step Three: Termination of Split-Dollar Agreements
Because AIF IV's business operations ceased in 2007, the split-dollar agreements between it and the Leon D.

continued to honor the agreements but had the right at any time to take ownership of the policies from Trust
#1 and Trust #2. AIF IV now exercises that right.
