Administrative Provisions
12.1 Administration After My Death. After my death, the trustee may hold the Lifetime
Trust as a separate trust until all payments, allocations, and distributions from the Lifetime Trust
directed by this instrument have been completed. If the Lifetime Trust is held as a separate trust
under the preceding sentence, the trustee may from time to time distribute income or principal in
satisfaction ofthe succeeding trusts, distributive shares, or gifts and shall (a) distribute the Lifetime
Trust in complete satisfaction of such trusts, shares, or gifts as soon as practicable after my death
and (b) distribute at least annually income attributable to any gift with respect to which a federal
estate tax marital deduction is allowable in my estate.
12.2 Income Payments. Mandatory income payments shall be made at least quarterly.
12.3 Standard for Discretionary Payments. In the exercise of discretion to make a payment
to a beneficiary, the trustee may consider all income and resources known to the trustee to be
available to the beneficiary and the standard of living ofthe beneficiary.
12.4 Exercise of Power of Appointment. A lifetime power of appointment granted under this
instrument may be exercised only by written instrument specifically referring to the power. A
testamentary power of appointment granted under this instrument may be exercised only by a will
specifically referring to the power. The appointment may be either outright or subject to such trusts
and conditions as the holder of the power designates. The holder of the power may grant to any
person to whom principal may be appointed further powers of appointment. In determining
whether a testamentary power of appointment has been exercised, the trustee may rely on an
instrument admitted to probate in any jurisdiction as the will of the holder of the power or may
assume the power of appointment was not exercised in the absence of actual notice ofthe holder's
will within three months after the holder' s death.
12.5 Discretionary Qualified Terminable Interest Property Election. The trustee may elect
(and may direct my executor to elect) to treat any fraction or all of the Marital Trust as qualified
terminable interest property for federal estate tax purposes.
12.6 Marital Deduction Qualification. I intend the Marital Trust to qualify for the federal
estate tax marital deduction to the extent a qualifying election is made, and the provisions of this
instrument shall be so construed. To the extent a provision of thís instrument would result in the
Marital Trust not so qualifying, that provision shall be ineffective. Despite anything to the
contrary, if my spouse directs in writing, the trustee ofthe Marital Trust shall convert unproductive
property into property that produces a reasonable rate of income.
12. 7 Effect of Disclaimer of Marital Trust. To the extent the Marital Trust is disclaimed by
or on behalf of my spouse, the disclaimed portion shall be held as a Disclaimer Trust and
Page 13 of 19
administered under the same terms as the Famíly Trust, except that my spouse shall have no power
of appointment over the Disclaimer Trust.
12.8 Marital Trust Death Taxes. Unless my spouse directs otherwise by will or revocable
trust specifically referring to this instrument, after the death of my spouse the trustee shall pay from
the portion of the Marital Trust included in my spouse's gross estate its proportionate share of the
aggregate amount by which the death taxes in my spouse's estate are increased as a result of the
inclusion in my spouse's taxable estate of the Marital Trust and any other trust that has qualified
for the federal gift or estate tax marital deduction (the "Marital Trust death taxes").
12.9 No Advancements. No payment made to any beneficiary under this instrument shall be
treated as an advancement.
12.10 Allocation of Assets and Income. For purposes of funding any pecuniary gifts
(including any pecuniary formula gifts), the trustee may allocate or distribute assets in any manner,
but the trustee shall value each asset at its fair market value on the date on which the asset is
allocated or distributed. Any pecuniary gift (including any pecuniary formula gift) in trust orto my
spouse shall include a pro rata share of the income of the trust estate from the date of my death to
the date or dates of allocation or distribution.
12.11 Small Trust Termination. The trustee may termínate any trust with a value at the time
oftermination less than the Mínimum Trust Value. This power may not be exercised by a trustee
who is a beneficiary ofthe trust. The Mínimum Trust Value shall be the sum of (a) $100,000 and
(b) the percentage increase, if any, in the cost of living from January 1 of the year in which I
executed this instrument until January 1 of the year of termination multiplied by $100,000. For this
purpose, the increase in the cost of living shall be determined pursuant to the Consumer Price
Index for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers, U.S. City Average, All Items, as published
by the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the U.S. Department of Labor. lf that index ceases to be
published, there shall be substituted any other index the trustee determines to reflect similar
information. Distribution under this paragraph shall be to the income beneficiaries in the
proportions in which they are entitled to share the income or, if their interests are indefinite, to the
income beneficiaries in equal shares.
12.12 No Rule Against Perpetuities. I intend that each trust established under this instrument
shall be a Qualified Perpetual Trust under Illinois law and shall not be subject to the Rule Against
Perpetuities. The power of the trustee to sell, lease, or mortgage assets shall be construed as
enabling the trustee to sell, lease, or mortgage trust property for any period beyond the Rule
Against Perpetuities. lf assets that would not qualify as part of a Qualified Perpetual Trust would
otherwise be added to any trust established under this instrument, the trustee shall segregate those
assets and administer them as a separate trust identical to the one to which the assets would have
been added, except that, despite any other provision, 21 years after the death of the last to die of all
of the beneficiaries living at my death each such separate trust then held under this instrument shall
be distributed to the income beneficiaries in the proportions in which they are entitled to share the
income or, if their interests are indefinite, to the income bene:ficiariesin equal shares.
Page 14 of 19
12.13 Facility of Payment. The trustee may make any payments (other than distributions on
termination) to a beneficiary under legal disabilíty or whom the trustee determines to be unable to
properly manage his or her affairs in any of the following ways: (a) to the legally appointed
guardian of the beneficiary, (b) to an adult relative or friend of the beneficiary in reimbursement for
