qualifying as additional or successor trustees, referred to as the "Trustees").
WITNESSETH:
The property transferred to the Trustees hereunder shall be held by the
Trustees IN TRUST subject to the following terms and conditions. This trust agreement
shall be known as the LB REVOCABLE TRUST AGREEMENT.
FIRST: DISPOSITION OF INITIAL TRUST
(A) During the life of the Grantor, the Trustees shall pay to the
Grantor so much of the income of this trust as the Trustees may deem advisable in their
sole and absolute discretion, including such amount as the Trustees may deem advisable
to enable the Grantor to pay income taxes. Any income not directed to be paid shall be
accumulated by adding such income to the principal of the trust.
(B) At any time and from time to time during the life of the
Grantor, the Trustees may, in their sole and absolute discretion, pay to him so much of
the principal of this trust as the Trustees may deem advisable, including such amount as
the Trustees may deem advisable to enable the Grantor to pay income taxes.
(C) At any time and from time to time during the life of the
Grantor, the Grantor may withdraw from the income and/or principal of this trust so
much of the income and/or principal as the Grantor shall direct by instrument in writing
signed and delivered to the Trustees during his lifetime.

EFTA01088542
(D) At any time and from time to time during the life of the
Grantor, the Grantor, by instrument signed and delivered to the Trustees, may direct the
Trustees to pay income and/or principal to any individual or entity. Any payment made
by the Trustees pursuant to such direction shall be deemed to be a withdrawal by the
Grantor followed by a transfer to such individual or entity, it being the Grantor's desire to
avoid the multiple re-titling of assets.
(E) In addition, during any period in which the Grantor is
Incapacitated (as defined in Clause THIRTEENTIIFOURTEENTH), the Independent
Trustees (as defined in Clause THIRTEENTHFOURTEENTH) are authorized to make
the following distributions:

and empowered to make gifts on the Grantor's behalf of cash or property, either outright
or in trust, to or for the benefit of such one or more of (i) the Grantor's wife DEBRA R.
BLACK ("DEBRA"), (ii) the Grantor's descendants, (iii) the Grantor's sister JUDY
ELLEN BLACK ("JUDY"), (iv) the Grantor's mother SHIRLEY BLACK
("SHIRLEY"), and (4x) Qualified Charitable Organizations (as defined in Clause
THIRTEENTHFOURTEENTH) as the Independent Trustees, in their sole, absolute and
uncontrolled discretion deem advisable, at any time and from time to time. It is the
Grantor's intent to permit the Independent Trustees to make gifts either to continue any
pattern of gift-giving that the Grantor may have established, or if the Independent
Trustees believe that such gifts will be in the best interests of the Grantor's family, taking
into consideration the tax consequences of making or refraining from making such gift.
The Trustees are further authorized and empowered to pay any gift or generation-

skipping transfer ("GST") taxes that may be payable in connection with any gift made
pursuant to this provision.
(2) The Independent Trustees are hereby authorized
and empowered to pay on the Grantor's behalf such of the Grantor's enforceable debts as
they come due.
(F) Upon the death of the Grantor, the remaining trust property
shall be disposed of as the Grantor may appoint by his Last Will in favor of any
appointee or appointees, including his estate.
(G) Upon the death of the Grantor, any remaining trust property
which is not effectively appointed pursuant to his testamentary power of appointment,
together with any property bequeathed to this trust by the Grantor or added hereto at or
by reason of the Grantor's death, shall be disposed of as directed hereinafter under this
Agreement.

property for the benefit of an individual, the complete termination of which before the
date prescribed for the filing of the estate tax return for the Grantor's estate shall be

(A) The Grantor confirms that the Grantor's Executors (other
than DEBRA) have the absolute discretion to determine whether and to what extent to
make an election pursuant to Section 2056(b)(7) of the Code, or any successor thereto,
and any similar statute under state law. The Grantor's Executors (other than DEBRA)
may determine to make said election or elections with respect to all or any part or none of
the Marital Trusts, all in the Executors' complete discretion. The Grantor suggests to his
Executors (other than DEBRA) by way of illustration and without limiting such
Executors' absolute authority, that the Grantor's Executors consider in making said
election not only the Federal and state estate tax consequences for the Grantor's estate but
also the Federal and state estate and gift tax consequences for DEBRA which result from
said election. The determination of the Grantor's Executors (other than DEBRA) as to
whether and to what extent to make said election shall be absolute and conclusive,
regardless of the personal interest any Executor may have in the consequences of such
election. The Grantor's Executors shall not be held liable, responsible or accountable, in
court or otherwise, to any beneficiary, for the consequences of the exercise, the manner
of exercise or failure to exercise the power granted under this Clause 14114T-I4TENT.U.
(B) The Grantor directs that any trust principal passing to a
Marital Trust which the Grantor's Executors (other than DEBRA) do not elect to qualify

Marital Trust for which an election is made by the Grantor's Executors to qualify for the
marital deduction. The Grantor further directs that any trust principal passing to a
Marital Trust for which the Grantor's Executors (other than DEBRA) elect to qualify for
the marital deduction for either state estate tax purposes or Federal estate tax purposes,
