U.S. Trust Comments to Leon Black Revocable Trust.
Comment 3.1
Since most of Leon's art is owned in entities (Narrows Holdings I and Narrows Holdings II), I assume you
will need a specific disposition of those entity interests so that such interests pass (i) to the Marital Trust
if Debra survives Leon or (ii) per stirpes to Leon's issue subject to the trusts held under the Black 2006
Family Trust if Debra predeceases Leon. As drafted, these LLC interests would pass as part of the
residuary trust fund : 1/2 to the CLATs and 1/2 per stirpes to Leon's issue subject to the trusts under the
2006 Family Trust.
Comment 6.1
Since you anticipate that Leon will not fund his revocable trust during his lifetime, if Debra survives,
consider disposing of tangibles and residences under the Will so that title does not need to be changed
twice—once to the Trustees of the Revocable Trust and again to the Marital Trust or Debra.
Comment 6.2
Include in the definition of residences, interests In any entity that owns a residence used by Leon as a
personal residence?
Comment 7.1
I understood that the impetus for Leon giving half his estate to charity if Debra predeceases is that he
felt his children had already received enough assets. If that is so, why not simply leave Share A to the
Black Family Foundation, rather than create four separate CLATs? I think we should raise this with Leon.

(the "Issue's Share") shall be further subdivided into two separate shares according to value: (1) one
share consisting of that portion of the Issue's Share having a fair market value at the time of division
substantially equal to seventy-five percent (75%) of the total fair market value of the Issue's Share
(Share A), and (2) one share consisting of the balance of the Issue's Share ("Share Be).

Comment 23.1
Consider including provisions giving the Trustees absolute discretion to select which specific Items of
property will be included in Share A versus Share B. Consider also whether Leon wants to give them any
guidance in this regard or would like the Trustees to consult with the children before making the
division. For example, a child may prefer to have income producing assets held in the Share B trust and
to have Works of Art (or LLC interests holding the art) held in the Share A trust.
Comment 38.1
If the removing individual is also a beneficiary of the trust, do you not need to always require that a
replacement Trustee selected by such individual be an independent Trustee (whether or not the
removed Trustee was independent)?
Comment 40.1
Does Leon want to limit compensation so that Barry, John and Richard do not receive double
compensation in any year (i.e., $500,000) for acting as both an Executor and a Trustee?
