CRT Payments

QSO must pay annually to the CRT the interest on

the demand note. Interest is paid to the CRT. The

CRT, based upon its terms, must pay 7.0% of the

FMV of the trust at least annually to M/M Owner

for their lifetime. The undistributed income each

year (difference between interest income and

payout) results in annually increasing payments

from the trust *. Based upon IRS Mortality Table

estimates, M/M Owner will receive approximately

$4.8 million in income during their lifetime. At the

latter death of M/M Owner no further income will

be paid from the CRT. At that time the principal

amount of the note ($2 million) will be due from

QSO payable to the CRT.

*Alternatively the demand note interest and the CRT payout rate

can be matched

Demand Note Called

At the latter death of M/M Owner the CRT

terminates, per IRC Sec 664. The trustees of the

terminating trust call the principal amount of the

demand note. QSO, lacking the capital ($2 million)

borrows the money from Son/Dau. Son/Dau have

$2 million of insurance proceeds available and, in

turn, lends $2 million to QSO for a demand note of

$2 million with a suitable interest rate. QSO

redeems the note to the CRT with the proceeds

from the loan form Son/Dau.

CRT terminates and pays remainder to QSO.

$2 million from CRT is transferred to Qualified

Support Organization(QSO). Son/Dau are

appointing trustees of QSO.

Son/Dau begin to receive annual payments from

QSO for interest on demand note. Note is insured

w/ issue as beneficiaries and guarantors of note
