D - AI~EP.~;ON CODT-~.'TY TX L,n~ #: 050343_I on,~,~/~m~,~ at 09:04:00 .~2¥~ 008?8 TERMINATION OF TRUST By: Successor Trustee I, O. L. KNUTSON, 2501 FM 150 West, mailing address: P O Box 725, Kyle, Texas 78640-0725, as Successor Trustee of the trust originally established by RANDALL WAYNE RUSSELL, Trustor, in his will dated December 21, 1961 and activated following the death of RANDALL WAYNE RUSSELL on October 14, 1968 with the probating of the will and the appointing of First National Bank of Dallas as Trustee of the RANDALL WAYNE RUSSELL TESTAMENTARY TRUST in Cause No. 68-2702-P/2 in Probate Court of Dallas County, Texas on November 4, 1968; [subsequently, on or about June 7, 1982 First National Bank of Fort Worth, Texas was named as Successor Trustee and thereafter NCNB Texas National Bank became Successor Trustee by right of their being successor in interest to First National Bank of Fort Worth and on March 19, 1990, O. L. KNUTSON was named as Successor Trustee and has served since that date] the said trust naming as beneficiaries the Testator's wife, LELYSLE HARRIS RUSSELL (now remaried and known as LEE WHITE) whose address is 4011 Reynosa Drive, Austin, Travis County, Texas 78239; Mr. Russell's two children: DAVID HART RUSSELL, now residing at 216 Second Street, Ingram, Kerr County, Texas 78025 and RUSHTON LEE RUSSELL, NOW RESIDING AT 324 Burd Street, Pennington, Mercer County, New Jersey 08534, (the children of DAVID HART RUSSELL and RUSHTON LEE RUSSELL are named as contingency beneficiaries in the event of the death of either DAVID HART RUSSELL or RUSHTON LEE RUSSELL which has not occurred and said contingency interest is represented herein by the parents as the children's next friend) pursuant to the powers granted to me in Part 1, paragraph 2(a) of Trust Agreement which reads as follows: ~'anything to the contrary herein notwithstanding, the trustee may from time to time and at any time V O L 9 0 4 P G 0 0 0 8 ? 3 distribute to any one or more of my wife, my child- ren, or my children's issue whom the Trustee deems to be in need such amounts of the trust estate as in the sole discretion of the Trustee are sufficient to alleviate such need. In this regard, one of the above named persons shall be deemed to be in need when his or her health or general welfare is endan- gered.'' Do now terminate the trust for the benefit of LELYSLE HARRIS RUSSELL a/k/a LEE WHITE. I now pay over and hereby assign to the beneficiary, LELYSLE HARRIS RUSSELL a/k/a LEE WHITE the property held in trust for LELYSLE 'HARRIS RUSSELL a/k/a LEE WHITE and (said sons having heretofore assigned their interest) the sons of she and the Trustor, to be the property of LELYSLE HARRIS RUSSELL a/k/a LEE WHITE absolutely and free from any claims. I am exercising my discretion to terminate the trust for the following reasons: 1. LELYSLE HARRIS RUSSELL a/k/a LEE WHITE is now 77 years old, soon to be 78, and can no longer obtain and retain employment to support herself as has been her practice for many years. Therefore, the health and general welfare of LELYSLE HARRIS RUSSELL a/k/a LEE WHITE, requires that the assets of the trust be turned over to her pursuant to the provisions of the trust instrument, Part 1, paragraph 2(a) quoted above. V 0 L 9 0 4 P 2. The sons of RANDALL WAYNE RUSSELL have assigned their legal and equitable interest in the trust property to LELYSLE HARRIS RUSSELL a/k/a LEE WHITE. Therefore the separation of legal and equitable title to the trust property being no longer present the trust has ended. 3. The assets of the trust value have been reduced to a sum of less than $100,000.00. The cost of maintaining the trust is no longer economically feasible and LELYSLE HARRIS RUSSELL a/k/a LEE WHITE is fully capable of handling her own property. 't'0880 4. A reading of the trust suggests it was originally established to assure that minor children had support until such time as they became adults and were fully educated and capable of supporting themselves. That purpose has been accomplished. 5. A close review of the court documents, Cause No. 68-2702-P/2, Probate Court, Dallas County, Texas indicates that a great deal of LELYSLE HARRIS RUSSELL a/k/a LEE WHITE'S one-half of the community property arising from her marriage to RANDALL WAYNE RUSSELL was included in the establishment of the trust and it is fair and equitable that whatever is left be hers. By the execution of this instrument the parties hereto acknowledge that the Successor Trustee, O. L. KNUTSON, has fully accounted for all trust assets and hereby release the said Successor Trustee from any liability for the handling and distribution of the trust assets.
