The Trustee shall maintain or cause to be maintained a record of the name and address of each Distribution Trust and of each beneficiary of each such Distribution Trust, the aggregate number of Units comprising the Distribution Trust Interest of each such Distribution Trust, and the number of Units assigned to each beneficiary of each such Distribution Trust.





(c) If any conflicting claims or demands are made or asserted with respect to the ownership of any Units, or if there is any disagreement between the transferees, assignees, heirs, representatives or legatees succeeding to all or part of  a Distribution Trust Interest or the interest of any beneficiary of such Distribution Trust resulting in adverse claims or demands being made in connection with such Units, then, in any of such events, the Trustee shall be entitled, at his sole election, to refuse to comply with any such conflicting claims or demands.  In so refusing, the Trustee may elect to make no payment or distribution with respect to such Units, or to make such payment to a court of competent jurisdiction or an escrow agent, and in so doing, the Trustee shall not be or become liable to any of such parties for his failure or refusal to comply with any such conflicting claims or demands or to take any other action with respect thereto, nor shall the Trustee be liable for interest on any funds with it may so withhold.

3.2           Rights of Distribution Trusts. Each Distribution Trust shall be entitled to participation in the rights and benefits due to a Distribution Trust hereunder according to its Distribution Trust Interest. The Distribution Trusts shall take and hold the same for the benefit of their respective beneficiaries subject to all the terms and provisions of this Agreement.  The DistributionTrust Interest of each Distribution Trust is hereby declared and shall be in all respects personal property and the death of an individual beneficiary of a Distribution Trust and passage of his interest to his legal representative and heirs, as applicable, shall have no effect upon the existence of the Distribution Trust nor terminate or affect the validity of this
