Whereas, grantors are now the owners of the property described in Exhibit A attached hereto and
made a part hereof, and
Whereas, grantors desire to make provision for the care and management of
such property, and the collection of the income therefrom, and the
disposition of both such income and such property in the manner herein
provided:
Now, therefore, for the reasons set forth above, and in consideration of the mutual covenants set
forth herein, grantors and trustees agree as follows:
1. Transfer of Property: Grantors, in consideration of the acceptance by cotrustees of the trust herein created, hereby convey, transfer, assign, and
deliver to co-trustees, their successors in trust and assigns, the property
described in Exhibit A attached hereto and made a part hereof, by this
reference, which property, together with all other property that may from
time to time be held by co-trustees hereunder, is herein referred to as Trust
Estate. Grantors, and any other persons shall have the right at any time to
add property acceptable to trustees to this trust and such property, when
received and accepted by trustees, shall become part of the trust estate.
2. Disposition of Income and Principal: Trustees shall care for and manage
the trust estate and collect the income derived therefrom, and, after the
payment of all taxes and assessments thereon and all charges incident to
the management thereof, dispose of the net income therefrom and corpus
thereof,as
follows:
During the lifetime of grantors the trustees may pay income of the trust
estate and such portions of the principal as the grantors from time to time

may direct to the grantors, or otherwise as they direct during their lives.
After the death of both grantors the successor trustee shall distribute the
trust estate to the following beneficiary or beneficiaries who shall survive
both grantors:(names and addresses) The share of any beneficiary who shall
be under the age of (age) years shall not be paid to such beneficiary but
shall instead be held in trust to apply to his/her use all the income thereof,
and also such amounts of the principal, even to the extent of all, as the
trustees deem necessary or suitable for the support, welfare, and education
of such beneficiary; and when he/she attains the age of (age) years, to pay
him/her the remaining principal, if any. If any beneficiary for whom a
share is held in trust should die before having received all the principal
thereof, then upon his/her death the remaining principal shall be paid to
his/her then living child or children, equally if more than one, and in default
thereof, to the then living descendants of the grantors, per stirpes. No
interest hereunder shall be transferrable or assignable by anybeneficiary, or
be subject during his or her life to the claims of his or her creditors.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the trusts hereunder shall
terminate not later than twenty-one (21) years after the death of the
last beneficiary named herein.
3. Revocation and Amendment: The grantors, or the survivor of them, may,
by signed instrument delivered to the trustees, revoke the trusts hereunder,
in whole or in part, or amend this Agreement from time to time in any
manner.
4. Successor Trustees: In the event of the death or incapacity of both cotrustees, we hereby nominate and appoint as successor trustee (name)
and(address). In the event the successor trustee does not serve we appoint
whomever shall at the time be the first designated beneficiary hereunder.
The trustees and their successors shall serve without bond.
5. Trustees' Acceptance: This trust has been accepted by trustees and will be
administered in the State of state and its validity, construction, and all rights
thereunder shall be governed by the laws of that state. In Witness Whereof,
grantors and trustees have executed this Agreement on the date above
written.
