He is their CPA for personal, Business and trust accounting needs. The independent trustee role being asked of Gary involves calculations that he has in-depth knowledge of based on his past and current roles with the family. The members of the LLC will utilize Gary's calculations to vote for or against the final distribution. Gary will not be a voting member. Specific to the investments which are currently held at Vanguard and T Rowe Price the current proposal is to move the mutual funds to Manning and Napier whom is a money manager and has worked with the clients for many years. They will utilize the strong relationship they already have with their advisor and continue the funds in a manner that the trust deems best suited for the beneficiaries. Gary will not have access to any decision making when it comes to any of the trust assets. 7) DAVIE KAPLAN, CPA, P.C.; PRINCIPAL; NIR; 08/01/2007;
