Dear [CrumTee]:<br />

Today, or within the next few days, I will be making a contribution to the trust referred to above.<br />

With respect to this contribution, and with respect to each and every contribution I make from this<br />

time forward until I inform you otherwise:<br />

Alt 1: Election to split gifts<br />

1. I am married and I hereby inform you that my spouse and I will be gift-splitting on our gift<br />

tax returns, and, therefore, you should consider that ½ of each gift is made by each of us as a<br />

"Contributor" as provided by paragraph 1.1(6) of the <strong>Trust</strong> Agreement.<br />

Alt 2: Election not to split gifts<br />

1. I am married and I hereby inform you that my spouse and I will not be gift-splitting on our<br />

gift tax returns, and, therefore, you should consider that the entirety of each gift is made solely by me<br />

as a "Contributor" as provided by paragraph 1.1(6) of the <strong>Trust</strong> Agreement.<br />

2. I hereby exclude from having a withdrawal right under paragraph 1.1(<br />

) of the <strong>Trust</strong> Agreement, as permitted by paragraph 1.1(15).<br />
