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.

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.
