Declaration of Fiduciary

5

I authorize the U.S. Treasury and its designated Financial Agent to initiate an ACH electronic funds withdrawal (direct debit) entry to the financial institution
account indicated in the tax preparation software for payment of the estate’s or trust’s taxes owed on this return, and the financial institution to debit the
entry to this account. I also authorize the financial institutions involved in the processing of the electronic payment of taxes to receive confidential information
necessary to answer inquiries and resolve issues related to the payment.

Under penalties of perjury, I declare that the above amounts (or the amounts on the attached listing) agree with the amounts shown on the corresponding lines of
the electronic portion of the 2007 U.S. Income Tax Return(s) for Estates and Trusts. I have also examined a copy of the return(s) being filed electronically with the
Internal Revenue Service, and all accompanying schedules and statements. To the best of my knowledge and belief, they are true, correct, and complete. If I am not
the transmitter, I consent that the return(s), including this declaration and accompanying schedules and statements, be sent to the Internal Revenue Service by the
return transmitter. I also consent to the IRS’ sending the ERO and/or transmitter an acknowledgement of receipt of transmission and an indication of whether or not
the return(s) is accepted, and, if rejected, the reason(s) for the rejection.
