2. Upon receipt of each notice from the Policy's carrier that a premium will be due on the Policy, the Foundation shall bill the Donor for the amount of such premium, or such portion thereof as is specified on Schedule B to this Agreement, if any, and the Donor agrees to pay such amount to the Foundation. The Foundation agrees to use such payment from the Donor to pay such premiums.

A. ___________ ____________ The Policy will not be maintained pursuant
          (Donor)          (Foundation)

B. ___________ ____________ The Policy will be maintained pursuant to the

Premium Partnership Program of the Foundation, in the manner provided on Schedule B to this Agreement.

4. The Foundation shall be the owner and beneficiary of the Policy and shall have reserved to it all rights under the Policy as owner and beneficiary, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. The Foundation shall have no obligation to maintain the Policy except insofar as it receives gifts from the Donor in amounts sufficient to pay the premiums due under the Policy, or such portion thereof as Donor agrees to pay under Schedule B to this Agreement, if any.

5. Except in the case of an emergency, as determined in the sole discretion of the Foundation, the Foundation agrees not to surrender the Policy, withdraw Policy dividends, borrow against the cash value of the Policy, or pledge such cash value as collateral for any indebtedness of the Foundation during the Donor's lifetime. Subject to the preceding sentence, so long as the Foundation receives from the Donor funds sufficient to pay Policy premiums in a timely manner, the Foundation agrees to keep the Policy in full force and effect.
6. Upon the death of the Donor, the Foundation shall collect the proceeds of the Policy and shall hold such proceeds as a permanent endowment fund (the "Fund"). The assets of the Fund shall be invested as the Foundation may from time to time determine. Distribution shall normally be made from the Fund in accordance with the payout policy established by the Foundation, except that in the event of an emergency, as determined by a two-thirds vote of a quorum of the Board of Trustees of the Foundation, any or all assets of the Fund may be used in the manner determined by the Trustees.

Any such recommendations shall be solely advisory, and the Foundation is not bound by those recommendations.

8.
