2 administration.
3 2. Notice•. The Court finds that Notice has been given in the manner prescdbed
4 by law.
5 3. Allegations are True and Correct. All allegations in the Petition are true
6 and correct
4. Specific Findinkre Trustees' Intent with Respect to Distributions. The
8 Court specifically finds as follows with respect to the Trustees' intent to determine the
9 amount of the income beneficiary's distributions:
10 Because the Trust is an ideal candidate for adjusting principal and income, the
11 Trustees intend to determine the amount of annual distributions to ELISA using the
12 following procedure:
13 a. Each year, Petitioners and the institutional Trustee (e.g., J.P.
14 MORGAN TRUST COMPANY, N.A.) shall determine the amount of "aggregate income
15 of the Trusts" available to fund discretionary distributions to ELISA from either the GST
16 Exempt Trust or the .CIST Non-Exempt Trust They intend to do so by multiplying the
17 mean average of the fair market.value of aggregate assets of the Trusts (as determined in
18 accordance with general standards used for gift and estate tax valuation purposes without
19 regard for any possible discotmts that, may be allowed for fractional interests or lack of
20 marketability) as of December 31 for each of the three preceding calendar years by the
21 percentage of annual asset value that J.P. MORGAN CHASE HANK (the corporate parent
22 of J.P. MORGAN TRUST COMPANY, NA), or other institutional Trustee then serving,
23 determines that it should use under principal and income adjustment powers available when
24 acting as trustee of taxable trusts subject to the Uniform Principal and Income Act or
25 comparable statues (the "Adjustment Percentage"). Pi
26
27 PI For example, to determine the Adjusted Distribution Ceiling for distributions to be made
to PISA ur calendar year 2009, before March I, 2009 the Trustees will determine the
28 mean average of the fair market value of the combined. Trust estate as of December 31,

1 The resulting product (which may be pure income only, or may be income
2 augmented by principal which is "adjusted" into income). which may also be referred to as
3 the "Adjusted Distribution Ceiling," shall be the maximum amount of funds the Trustees
4 may distribute to ELISA that calendar year from both Trusts. The patties have agreed that
5 in no event shall the Adjusted Distribution Ceiling drop below 3.0 percent. The product
6 shall be pro-rated for the initial year of this procedure. For the information of the Court,
7 J.P. MORGAN CHASE BANK set the Adjustment Percentage at 3.0% for 2008, with no
8 trustee's fees being charged against that 3.0% payout. In other words, for taxable trusts
9 invested under the Prudent Investor Rule and CUPIA for total maximum return, in selected
10 circumstances J.P. MORGAN CHASE BANK as trustee adjusted principal and income so
11 that "income" beneficiaries would receive 3.0% of the aggregate fair market value of the
12 GST Exempt Trust and the GST Non-Exempt That; and in those situations, J.P. MORGAN
13 CHASE BANK charged trustee's fees entirely to principal, so the 3% payout to the •
14 beneficiary was not reduced by trustee's fees.
15 It is anticipated that the funding of discretionary distributions of aggregate net
16 income of the Trusts pursuant to the standard set forth above win be made first from the
17 GST Non-Exempt Trust to the extent practical and then from the GST Exempt Trust In no
18 event will aggregate discretionary distributions from the Trusts exceed the Adjusted
19 Distribution Ceiling.
20 J.P. MORGAN CHASE BANK determines the Adjustment Percentage early each
21 calendar year for which an adjustment is to be made. The Trustees therefore intend to give
22 notice to the trust beneficiaries of the amount of the Adjusted Distribution Ceiling by
23 March 1 of each calendar year for which an income and principal adjustment is to be made,
24 under the procedure described for giving Notice of Proposed Action under California
25
(...continued)
26 2006, 2007 and 2008. They will then multi y that average dollar value by the percentage
of annual asset value that J.P. MORGAN C BANK (or other institutional Trustee
27 then saving) determines that it should use for calendar year 2009 under principal and
income adjustment powers available when acting as trustee of taxable trusts subject to the
28 Uniform Principal and Income Act or comparable statutes.

I Probate Code Section 16337. Until the time for objecting to such Notice has lapsed, the
2 Trustees will use the Adjusted Distribution Ceiling from the prior calendar year, and
3 subsequently credit (or charge) the beneficiary for any underpayments (or overpayments)
4 made that year before the new Adjusted Distribution Ceiling is determined.
5 b. Prior to January 1st of each year, ELISA's conservator will submit to
6 the Co-Trustees an annual estimate of her anticipated general maintenance, support, health
7 and educational needs, detailed on a monthly basis. If no conservator is then serving, the
8 estimate will be submitted by ELISA.
9 The Trustees will review ELISA's budget to determine the amount of cash
10 necessary or advisable for her general maintenance, support, health or education, including
11 college, graduate and professional education, taldng into consideration the factors described
12 inArticle SECOND as modified by this Court and also retaining an appropriate reserve for
13 extraordinary medical or other unanticipated expenses falling within the standard for
14 distributions set forth above. The Trustees shall then distribute to ELISA's conservator or
15 expend directly. for her benefit the amount so determined in monthly or other convenient
16 installments from the GST Non-Exempt That and then the GST Exempt Trust as described
17 above. If such distributions are less than net accounting income, the Trustees shall add the
18 excess to principal of the Trust no less than annually. If the amount determined to be
19 necessary or advisable for the maintenance, support, health or education of ELISA and her
20 unanticipated expenses exceeds the Adjusted Distribution Ceiling established by the
21 Trustees for that calendar year, then the Trustees shall distribute no more than the Adjusted
22 Distribution Ceiling, with ELISA making up any shortfall from her personal assets.

a company of comparable standing and adequate capitalization

2 who agrees to act, a successor Trustee thereto may be
appointed by the remaining individual Co-Trustee, or jointly by

entitled to receive income from the trust estate (including the

beneficiaries) shall have the right to appoint a successor

Trustee. Any appointment of a successor trustee by a majority
8 of beneficiaries shall require the approval of the Court.
If two successors have been appointed to fill the same vacancy
(because, for example, one individual Trustee appoints a first
10 and a second successor to herself, then ceases to serve; her first
successor appoints a different person to serve as successor to
11 the first successor; and the first successor ceases to serve, so

16
reason. At that time, the individual Co-Trustees shall designate

from the date of such designation to consent to such
19 designation. Should she do so in writing delivered to the
20 individual Co-Trustees, such designated successor corporate
Trustee shall serve upon the effective date of removal or
