There 5 were no objections to the petition. 6 Through their verified petition, the Trustees seek the following orders: (1) the 7 division of the Trust into separate GST Exempt and GST Non-Exempt Trusts; (2) the 8 clarification and modification of the distribution standard during ELISA ZAFFARONI's 9 lifetime; (3) the ratification of the one-time principal distribution of the Tiburon house 10 purchase price to ELISA ZAFFARONI; (4) a determination of the identity of the remainder 11 beneficiaries of the Trust; (5) the modification of the Trust to require that a corporate 12 Trustee serve at all times as a Co-Trustee, to appoint J.P. MORGAN TRUST COMPANY, 13 N.A. as the initial corporate and third Co-Trustee to serve with Petitioners, and to clarify 14 the procedure for appointing future successor Trustees; (6) the modification of the Trust to 15 permit retention of a limited partnership interest without liability; (7) the confirmation of 16 the waiver of accounting by the Trustees, if filed by the beneficiaries; and (8) the release of 17 the current Co-Trustees from liability in connection with the Trust, if approved by the 18 beneficiaries. Having considered the papers and evidence submitted by the parties and the 19 arguments of counsel, and for good cause appearing, the Petition is GRANTED,. as set forth 20 below. 21 FINDINGS 22 1. Jurisdiction and Venue. The Court has jurisdiction over this matter 23 pursuant to California Probate Code §§15409, 15412, 16464, 16465 and 17000, 24 17200(bX1), (b)(10), (b)(13), and (bX14), providing for the Court's jurisdiction over the 25 internal affairs of the Trust, determining questions of construction of the Trust, approving 26 the modification of the Trust and dividing the Trust, and approving waivers of accounting 27 and releases of Trustee liability. Venue is proper in this Court under California Probate 28 701161215.3 -2- ORDER APPROVING MODIFICATION OF TRUST EPTA_R 1_02054664 EFTA02697290 Mar-22-2012 11:33 AM Academic Affairs 9728836764 3/11 1 Code section 17005(a)(2) because San Mateo County is the principal place of the Trust's 2 •administration. 3 2. Notice. The Court finds that Notice has been given in the manner prescribed 4 by law. 5. 3. Allegations are True and Correct. All allegations in the Petition are true 6 and correct. 7 4. Specific Finding re Trustees' Intent with Respect to Distributions. The 8 Court specifically fmds 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.GST 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 discounts 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 BANK (the corporate parent 22 of J.P. MORGAN TRUST COMPANY, N.A.), 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 mists subject to the Uniform Principal and Income Act or 25 comparable statues (the "Adjustment Percentage"). Pi 26 27 M For example, to determine the Adjusted Distribution Ceiling for distributions to be made to ELISA in calendar year 2009, before March 1, 2009 the Trustees will determine the 28 mean average of the fair market value of the combined Trust estate as of December 31, (continued...) 70u612363 7 3 - ORDER APPROVING MODIFICATION OF TRUST EFTA_R1_02054665 EFTA02697291 Mar-Z2-2012 11:34 AM Academic Affairs 9728836764 4/11 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 fluids the Trustees 4 may distribute to ELISA that calendar year from both Trusts. The parties 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 Trust; and in those situations, J.P. MORGAN 13 CHASE BANK charged trustee's fees entirely toprincipal, 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 will 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 ralifomia 25 (...continued) 26 2006, 2007 and 2008. They will then multiply that average dollar value by the percentage of annual asset value that J.P. MORGAN CHASE BANK (or other institutional Trustee 27 then serving) 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. 70N6a3itv3 - 4 - ORDER APPROVINO MODIFICATION OF TRUST EFTA_R1_02054666 EFTA02697292 MDC-ZZ-ZO1Z 11:34 AM Academic Affairs 9728836764 5/11 1 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. 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 . S 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, taking into consideration the factors described 12 in Article 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 Trust 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. 23 24 N ORDERS 25 26 27 28.

Upon the failure of any individual Co-Trustee to act without appointing a successor who agrees to act, a successor Trustee thereto may be appointed by the remaining individual Co -Trustee, or jointly by remaining individual Co-Trustees if more than one Co-Trustee then remains. Upon failure of the individual Co-Trustees to act without a successor Trustee having been appointed pursuant to the foregoing provisions, a majority of the beneficiaries then entitled to receive income from the trust estate (including the guardian(s) or conservator(s) of any minor or incapacitated beneficiaries) shall have the right to appoint a successor Trustee. Any appointment of a successor trustee by a majority 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 and a second successor to herself; then ceases to serve; her first successor appoints a different person to serve as successor to the first successor; and the first successor ceases to serve, so there is a conflict between the original trustee's "second successor" and the first successor's own successor), then the appointment which is later in time shall take precedence over earlier appointments. C. The individual Co-Trustees, acting jointly, shall alone have the right to appoint a successor corporate Co-Trustee should a vacancy in the office of corporate Co-Trustee exist fix any reason. At that time, the individual Co-Trustees shall designate a company of comparable standing and adequate capitalization and security as J.P. MORGAN TRUST COMPANY, N.A., now has. ELISA ZAFFARONI shall be given thirty (30) days from the date of such designation to consent to such designation. Should she do so in writing delivered to the individual Co-Trustees, such designated successor corporate Trustee shall serve upon the effective date of removal or resignation of the prior corporate Trustee in office.

At the time of delivering notice of removal, the non-corporate Trustees then in office shall designate a company of comparable standing and adequate capitalization and security as the successor corporate Trustee, using the procedure described in Paragraph C above (including seeking the consent of ELISA ZAFFARONI to the appointment). F Any appointment of successor trustee shall be by written instrument executed by the person or persons entitled to make such appointment and delivered at the time of the actual appointment to the person appointed and to the remaining Trustee or Trustees then acting.

L. The Co-Trustees may invest without regard to any generally- applicable restriction on self-dealing or violation of any rule against divided loyalty or other conflict of interest. M. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, upon the death of ELISA ZAFFARONI, the majority of the legally competent beneficiaries then entitled to receive income front the trust estate, or the guardian or guardians of the beneficiaries, if they be minors, or the conservator or conservators of the estate of the beneficiaries if they be incapacitated, shall have the right to remove and appoint the Trustee." e.
