GGB FAMILY LIMITED PARTNERSHIP

FLORIDA INTANGIBLE TAX TRUST

 

THIS AGREEMENT, dated December 4, 2003, between GGB FAMILY LIMITED PARTNERSHIP, a Florida Limited Partnership, as “Grantor,” and GEORGE G. BEASLEY, of Naples, Florida (hereinafter called “the Trustees”),

 

WHEREAS, the Grantor has determined that it would be in the best interests of the Grantor to create and fund this trust in order to reduce the tax burden upon the assets of the Grantor; and

 

WHEREAS, the Grantor retains no right to veto or rescind the actions of the Trustees with respect to the assets of the trust estate; and

 

WHEREAS, the General Partner of the Grantor has approved the transfer and has caused the Grantor to create this trust; and

 

WHEREAS, the Grantor intends the trust to be established under this Agreement to be a grantor trust, of which the Grantor shall be grantor, within the meaning of subpart E, part I, subchapter J, chapter 1, subtitle A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and this agreement shall be construed accordingly.

 

W I T N E S S E T H:

 

In order to fund the trust, I deliver and assign to the Trustees the property specified in Schedule A to this Agreement. The Trustees acknowledge receipt of the property and agree to hold it in trust, together with any property added to any trust, as follows:

 

Article I. Disposition of Trust Estate During Trust Term. During the trust term the Trustees may pay or apply all or any part of the net income or principal

 


of this trust to, or for the benefit of, the Grantor that the Trustees consider advisable. Any undistributed income shall be added to trust principal.

 

Article II. Partial Termination. Upon April 30th of each calendar year, the Trustees shall distribute the then remaining trust estate to the Grantor. No general partner, employee or agent of the Grantor shall be entitled to demand the return of the trust assets to the Grantor prior to that time. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this section to the contrary, the Trustees shall always retain the property initially specified in Schedule A to this Agreement.

 

Article III. Appointment of Fiduciaries. If GEORGE G. BEASLEY ceases to act as Trustee, B. CAROLINE BEASLEY, currently of Naples, Florida, is appointed to act as successor Trustee, to act together with any other then acting Trustee.

 

The Trustees may appoint one or more additional Trustees at any time. Any individual Trustee may at any time appoint his or her successor as Trustee, unless the foregoing provisions of this Agreement effectively provide for his or her successor.

 

If a Trustee fails or ceases to act and the foregoing provisions of this Agreement do not effectively provide for a successor, the Grantor may appoint one or more successor Trustees.

 

Any fiduciary is authorized to resign at any time without court approval. The resignation, appointment or revocation of appointment of a Trustee may be made by the person authorized to take such action by delivery of an acknowledged instrument to the Trustees then acting and any Trustee to be appointed, or, if none, to a court having jurisdiction over the trust. Any appointment of a Trustee may be conditioned to commence or cease upon a future event and may be revoked or modified at any time before such future

 

2


event has occurred. Unless otherwise expressly provided, any power to appoint a Trustee shall permit appointment of an individual, bank or trust company as such fiduciary, and shall be exercised by the parent (or, if none, the legal representative) of any minor and the legal representative of any incapacitated person holding such power. A determination that any individual fiduciary acting hereunder is incapacitated shall be deemed a resignation by that individual fiduciary as of the date of the determination.

 

Article IV. Administrative Provisions.

 

A. Irrevocable Trust. This Agreement and any trust created hereunder shall be irrevocable and, except as otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement, shall not be subject to alteration or amendment in any respect.

 

B. Additions to Trust. Any person may add property to any trust under this Agreement by lifetime gift or by transfer taking effect at death, provided such property is acceptable to the Trustees.

 

C. No Florida Real Estate. No Trustee shall invest the assets of this trust in real property having a situs in the State of Florida.

 

D. Definition of Incapacitated. An individual shall be considered to be incapacitated if the individual is under a legal disability or by reason of illness or mental or physical disability is unable to give prompt and intelligent consideration to financial matters. The determination as to whether an individual is incapacitated shall be made by the Trustees other than the individual, or, if none, by the institution or individual designated to succeed the individual as Trustee, who may rely conclusively upon (1) the written opinion of the individual’s primary physician, (2) the written opinion of any two physicians, or (3) the written order of a court appointing a Conservator or Guardian of the individual’s person or property.

 

3


E. Investment Counsel. The fiduciaries may employ investment counsel; consult with such counsel on any matters relating to the retention, sale, purchase, investment, or reinvestment of securities or other property; delegate to such investment counsel the fiduciaries’ investment authority; and pay such investment counsel reasonable compensation for its services in addition to the regular compensation of the fiduciaries. The fiduciaries may act upon or refrain from acting upon the advice of such investment counsel in whole or in part, and to the extent the fiduciaries follow the advice of such counsel or rely upon such investment counsel’s exercise of delegated investment authority, the fiduciaries shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted, except in the case of willful misconduct.

 

F. Delegation. Except as otherwise provided herein, any fiduciary may delegate to the other fiduciaries the right to exercise any power (discretionary, administrative or otherwise) and may revoke the delegation at any time by delivery of an acknowledged instrument to such other fiduciaries.

 

G. Trustee Relieved From Liability. No individual Trustee shall be liable for any mistake or error of judgment, or for any action taken or omitted, either by the Trustees or by any agent or attorney employed by the Trustees, or for any loss or depreciation in the value of the trust, except in the case of willful misconduct.

 

H. Successor Trustee. No Trustee has a duty to examine the transactions of any prior Trustee. Each Trustee is responsible only for those assets which are actually delivered to it.

 

I. Governing Law. The validity, construction and administration of this document and any trust hereunder shall be governed by the laws of Florida.

 

4


J. Definition of Trustee. Except as otherwise provided herein, any Trustee who acts under this Agreement may exercise all of the rights, powers and discretions and shall be entitled to all of the privileges and immunities granted to the named Trustee. In this Agreement, Trustees are sometimes referred to as “the fiduciaries.” Any references in this Agreement to the Trustees or the fiduciaries shall include (unless otherwise expressly provided) all Trustees. No surety bond shall be required of any Trustee.

 

K. Management Powers of Trustee. In addition to any powers conferred upon them by law and without the order or approval of any court, except as otherwise provided herein, the Trustees are authorized and empowered:

 

(1) To retain, acquire, or sell any variety of real or personal property (including any discretionary common trust fund of any corporate fiduciary acting under this document, mutual funds, covered and uncovered stock options, insurance policies on the life and investments in foreign securities), without regard to diversification and without being limited to the investments authorized for trust funds; (2) to exercise stock options; (3) to enter into agreements for the sale, merger, reorganization, dissolution or consolidation of any corporation or properties; (4) to manage, improve, repair, sell, mortgage, lease (including the power to lease for oil and gas), pledge, convey, option or exchange any property and take back purchase money mortgages thereon, without court order; (5) to make distributions in cash or in kind, or partly in each, and, in the discretion of such fiduciaries, to allocate particular assets or portions thereof to any one or more beneficiaries, without any duty to distribute any asset pro rata among beneficiaries, and to do so without regard to the income tax basis of specific property allocated to any

 

5


beneficiary, provided that such property shall be valued for purposes of distribution at its value on the date of distribution; (6) to maintain custody or brokerage accounts (including margin accounts) and to register securities in the name of a nominee; (7) to compromise and settle claims (including those relating to taxes); (8) to borrow funds from any person or corporation (including a Trustee) and pledge or mortgage trust assets to secure such loans; (9) to extend, renew or renegotiate loans or guarantees; (10) to lend money to or for the benefit of any person beneficially interested hereunder (including a guardian); (11) to employ attorneys, accountants, investment counsel, custodians, brokers and other agents to assist in the administration of estate or trust property and to delegate discretionary powers (including the granting of a power of attorney and the power to be a signer on any estate or trust financial accounts) to such persons; (12) to vote and give proxies to vote shares of stock; (13) to make joint investments in property, real or personal; to enter into and act as a general or limited partner in general or limited partnerships; to establish corporations (including limited liability companies) of any kind; and to transfer assets to any such joint ventures, partnerships or corporations; (14) to divide any trust into separate trusts based on the fair market value of the trust assets at the time of the division; and (15) if there is more than one trust established under this document, to administer such trusts as a single fund.

 

L. Execution and Identification of Agreement. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which so executed shall be deemed an original and may be referred to as the “GGB Family Limited Partnership Florida Intangible Tax Trust dated 12/4/03.”
