Notable Quotes 2
Section 2.5(B) of The 1953 Trust has not been and will not be used by the Co-Executors to suggest that any current or former employee who chooses to meet or provide information to law enforcement as part of any ongoing investigation will be retaliated against in any way, or will lose any employment benefit, or any other benefit, inheritance, or bequest under the 1953 Trust as a result of meeting with or providing information to law enforcement.
