disproportionately affected Beneficiary and any such amendment that affects the Delaware Trustee’s duties, obligations, rights, privileges or protections under the Trust Agreement shall require the written consent of the Delaware Trustee.
B. This Amendment, a written instrument
signed by the Liquidation Trustee, has received the prior written approval of a majority of the members of the Liquidation Trust Supervisory Board. This Amendment does not adversely affect any Beneficiary in a manner disproportionate from the

C. Effective as of the Effective Date, the

AGREEMENT
NOW, THEREFORE, as of the
Effective Date, the Liquidation Trust Agreement is hereby amended to delete the stricken text (indicated textually in the same manner as the following example: stricken text)
and to add the bold underlined text (indicated textually in the same manner as the following example: bold underlined text) as set forth below:
1. Amendment of Section 10.2. Section 10.2 is hereby amended to read in full as follows:
10.2 Termination of the Liquidation Trust. The Liquidation Trustee and the Liquidation Trust shall be discharged or terminated, as the case may be, at such time as: (a) the Liquidation Trustee
determines that the pursuit of additional Liquidation Trust Actions is not likely to yield sufficient additional proceeds to justify further pursuit of such Liquidation Trust Actions and (b) all distributions required to be made by the
Liquidation Trustee to the holders of Allowed Claims and to the Liquidation Trust Beneficiaries under the Plan and this Agreement have been made, but in no event shall the Liquidation Trust be terminated later than February 15, 2030five (5) years from the Effective Date, except that the term of the Liquidation Trust may be extended
for a finite period by order of the Bankruptcy Court issued within the six months preceding the beginning of the extended term and upon a finding by the Bankruptcy Court that the extension is necessary to facilitate or complete the recovery on,
and liquidation of, the Liquidation Trust Assets; provided however, that any such extension may not exceed a total of three (3) years (together with any prior extensions) unless a favorable
letter ruling is obtained from the Internal Revenue Service that any further extension would not adversely affect the status of the Liquidation Trust as a liquidating trust under Treasury Regulation Section 301.7701-4(d). The
Liquidation Trust may not be terminated at any time by the Liquidation Trust Beneficiaries. Upon termination of the Liquidation Trust, any remaining Liquidation Trust Assets that exceed the amounts required to be paid under the Plan may be
transferred by the Liquidation Trustee to the American Bankruptcy Institute Endowment Fund. The Liquidation Trustee shall promptly provide the Delaware Trustee notice of any such extension granted pursuant to this Section 10.2.
2. Full Force and Effect. Except as amended in this Amendment, the Trust Agreement shall remain in full force and effect. Unless the context otherwise requires, any other document or agreement that refers to the Trust
Agreement shall be deemed to refer to the Trust Agreement, giving effect to this Amendment (and any other amendments to the Trust Agreement made from time to time pursuant to its terms).
3. Successors and Assigns. This Amendment shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the successor(s) and assign(s) of the party hereto.
4. Governing Law. This Amendment shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to the principles of conflicts of laws.
