This excerpt taken from the ABT 10-K filed Feb 19, 2010.

DISTRIBUTION OF THE TRUST FUND

 

II-1                              SEPARATE ACCOUNTS. The administrator shall maintain two separate accounts under the trust, a “rollout account” and a “deferred account.” Funds delivered to the trustee shall be allocated between the accounts by the trustee as directed by the administrator. As of the end of each calendar year, the administrator shall charge each account with all distributions made from such account during that year; and credit each account with its share of income and realized gains and charge each account with its share of expenses and realized losses for the year. The trustee shall not be required to make any separate investment of the trust fund for the accounts, and may administer and invest all funds delivered to it under the trust as one trust fund.

 

II-2                              DISTRIBUTIONS FROM THE ROLLOUT ACCOUNT PRIOR TO THE GRANTOR’S DEATH. The trustee shall distribute principal and accumulated income credited to the rollout account to the grantor, if then living, at such times and in such amounts as the administrator shall direct.

 


 

II-3                              DISTRIBUTIONS FROM THE DEFERRED ACCOUNT PRIOR TO THE GRANTOR’S DEATH. Principal and accumulated income credited to the deferred account shall not be distributed from the trust prior to the grantor’s retirement or other termination of employment with Abbott or a subsidiary of Abbott (the grantor’s “settlement date”); provided that, each year the administrator may direct the trustee to distribute to the grantor a portion of the income of the deferred account for that year, with the balance of such income to be accumulated in that account. The administrator shall inform the trustee of the grantor’s settlement date. Thereafter, the trustee shall distribute the amounts from time to time credited to the deferred account to the grantor, if then living, in a series of annual installments, with the amount of each installment computed by one of the following methods:

 

(a)                                  The amount of each installment shall be equal to the sum of: (i) the amount credited to the deferred account as of the end of the year in which the grantor’s settlement date occurs, divided by the number of years over which installments are to be distributed; plus (ii) the net earnings credited to the deferred account for the preceding year  (excluding the year in which the grantor’s settlement date occurs).

 

(b)                                 The amount of each installment shall be determined by dividing the amount credited to the deferred account as of the end of the preceding year by the difference between (i) the total number of years over which installments are to be distributed, and (ii) the number of annual installment distributions previously made from the deferred account.

 

(c)                                  Each installment (after the first installment) shall be approximately equal, with the amount comprised of the sum of: (i) the amount of the first installment, plus interest thereon at the rate determined under the 1986 Abbott Laboratories Management Incentive Plan, compounded annually; and (ii) the net earnings credited to the deferred account for the preceding year.

 

(i)                                     the foregoing, the final installment distribution made to the grantor under this paragraph II-3 shall equal the total principal and accumulated income then held in the trust fund. The grantor, by writing filed with the trustee and the administrator on or before the end of the calendar year in which the grantor’s settlement date occurs (or the end of the calendar year in which this trust is established, if the grantor’s settlement date has already occurred), may select both the period (which may not be less than

 


 

ten years from the end of the calendar year in which the grantor’s settlement date occurred) over which the installment distributions are to be made and the method of computing the amount of each installment. In the absence of such a written direction by the grantor, installment distributions shall be made over a period of ten years, and the amount of each installment shall be computed by using the method described in subparagraph (a) next above. Installment distributions under this Paragraph II-3 shall be made as of January 1 of each year, beginning with the calendar year following the year in which the grantor’s settlement date occurs. The administrator shall inform the trustee of the amount of each installment distribution under this paragraph II-3, and the trustee shall be fully protected in relying on such information received from the administrator.

 

II-4.                           DISTRIBUTIONS FROM THE TRUST FUND AFTER THE GRANTOR’S DEATH. The grantor, from time to time may name any person or persons (who may be named contingently or successively and who may be natural persons or fiduciaries) to whom the principal of the trust fund and all accrued or undistributed income therefrom shall be distributed in a lump sum or, if the beneficiary is the grantor’s spouse (or a trust for which the grantor’s spouse is the sole income beneficiary), in installments, as directed by the grantor, upon the grantor’s death. If the grantor directs an installment method of distribution to the spouse as beneficiary, any amounts remaining at the death of the spouse beneficiary shall be distributed in a lump sum to the executor or administrator of the spouse beneficiary’s estate. If the grantor directs an installment method of distribution to a trust for which the grantor’s spouse is the sole income beneficiary, any amounts remaining at the death of the spouse shall be distributed in a lump sum to such trust. Despite the foregoing, if (i) the beneficiary is a trust for which the grantor’s spouse is the sole income beneficiary, (ii) payments are being made pursuant to this paragraph II-4 other than in a lump sum and (iii) income earned by the trust fund for the year exceeds the amount of the annual installment payment, then such trust may elect to withdraw such excess income by written notice to the trustee. Each designation shall revoke all prior designations, shall be in writing and shall be effective only when filed by the grantor with the administrator during the grantor’s lifetime. If the grantor fails to direct a method of distribution, the distribution shall be made in a lump sum. If the grantor fails to designate a beneficiary as provided above, then on the grantor’s death, the trustee shall distribute the balance of the trust fund in a lump sum to the executor or administrator of the grantor’s estate.

 

II-5                              FACILITY OF PAYMENT. When a person entitled to a distribution hereunder is under legal disability, or, in the trustee’s opinion, is in any way incapacitated so as to be unable to manage his or her financial affairs, the trustee may

 


 

make such distribution to such person’s legal representative, or to a relative or friend of such person for such person’s benefit. Any distribution made in accordance with the preceding sentence shall be a full and complete discharge of any liability for such distribution hereunder.

 

II-6                              PERPETUITIES. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this agreement, on the day next preceding the end of 21 years after the death of the last to die of the grantor and the grantor’s descendants living on the date of this instrument, the trustee shall immediately distribute any remaining balance in the trust to the beneficiaries then entitled to distributions hereunder.

II-2                              DISTRIBUTIONS FROM THE ROLLOUT ACCOUNT PRIOR TO THE GRANTOR’S DEATH. The trustee shall distribute principal and accumulated income credited to the rollout account to the grantor, if then living, at such times and in such amounts as the administrator shall direct.

 


 

II-3                              DISTRIBUTIONS FROM THE DEFERRED ACCOUNT PRIOR TO THE GRANTOR’S DEATH.

ten years from the end of the calendar year in which the grantor’s settlement date occurred) over which the installment distributions are to be made and the method of computing the amount of each installment. In the absence of such a written direction by the grantor, installment distributions shall be made over a period of ten years, and the amount of each installment shall be computed by using the method described in subparagraph (a) next above.

DISTRIBUTION
OF THE TRUST FUND



 



II-1                              SEPARATE
ACCOUNTS. The administrator shall maintain two separate accounts under the
trust, a “rollout account” and a “deferred account.” Funds delivered to the
trustee shall be allocated between the accounts by the trustee as directed by
the administrator. As of the end of each calendar year, the administrator shall
charge each account with all distributions made from such account during that
year; and credit each account with its share of income and realized gains and
charge each account with its share of expenses and realized losses for the
year. The trustee shall not be required to make any separate investment of the
trust fund for the accounts, and may administer and invest all funds delivered
to it under the trust as one trust fund.



 



II-2                              DISTRIBUTIONS
FROM THE ROLLOUT ACCOUNT PRIOR TO THE GRANTOR’S DEATH. The trustee shall
distribute principal and accumulated income credited to the rollout account to
the grantor, if then living, at such times and in such amounts as the
administrator shall direct.



 















 



II-3                              DISTRIBUTIONS
FROM THE DEFERRED ACCOUNT PRIOR TO THE GRANTOR’S DEATH. Principal and
accumulated income credited to the deferred account shall not be distributed
from the trust prior to the grantor’s retirement or other termination of
employment with Abbott or a subsidiary of Abbott (the grantor’s “settlement
date”); provided that, each year the administrator may direct the trustee to
distribute to the grantor a portion of the income of the deferred account for
that year, with the balance of such income to be accumulated in that account.
The administrator shall inform the trustee of the grantor’s settlement date.
Thereafter, the trustee shall distribute the amounts from time to time credited
to the deferred account to the grantor, if then living, in a series of annual
installments, with the amount of each installment computed by one of the
following methods:



 



(a)                                  The amount of each
installment shall be equal to the sum of: (i) the amount credited to the
deferred account as of the end of the year in which the grantor’s settlement
date occurs, divided by the number of years over which installments are to be
distributed; plus (ii) the net earnings credited to the deferred account
for the preceding year  (excluding the
year in which the grantor’s settlement date occurs).



 



(b)                                 The amount of each
installment shall be determined by dividing the amount credited to the deferred
account as of the end of the preceding year by the difference between (i) the
total number of years over which installments are to be distributed, and (ii) the
number of annual installment distributions previously made from the deferred
account.



 



(c)                                  Each installment
(after the first installment) shall be approximately equal, with the amount
comprised of the sum of: (i) the amount of the first installment, plus
interest thereon at the rate determined under the 1986 Abbott Laboratories
Management Incentive Plan, compounded annually; and (ii) the net earnings
credited to the deferred account for the preceding year.



 



(i)                                     the
foregoing, the final installment distribution made to the grantor under this
paragraph II-3 shall equal the total principal and accumulated income then held
in the trust fund. The grantor, by writing filed with the trustee and the
administrator on or before the end of the calendar year in which the grantor’s
settlement date occurs (or the end of the calendar year in which this trust is
established, if the grantor’s settlement date has already occurred), may select
both the period (which may not be less than



 















 



ten years from
the end of the calendar year in which the grantor’s settlement date occurred)
over which the installment distributions are to be made and the method of
computing the amount of each installment. In the absence of such a written
direction by the grantor, installment distributions shall be made over a period
of ten years, and the amount of each installment shall be computed by using the
method described in subparagraph (a) next above. Installment distributions
under this Paragraph II-3 shall be made as of January 1 of each year,
beginning with the calendar year following the year in which the grantor’s
settlement date occurs. The administrator shall inform the trustee of the
amount of each installment distribution under this paragraph II-3, and the
trustee shall be fully protected in relying on such information received from
the administrator.



 



II-4.                           DISTRIBUTIONS
FROM THE TRUST FUND AFTER THE GRANTOR’S DEATH. The grantor, from time to time
may name any person or persons (who may be named contingently or successively
and who may be natural persons or fiduciaries) to whom the principal of the
trust fund and all accrued or undistributed income therefrom shall be
distributed in a lump sum or, if the beneficiary is the grantor’s spouse (or a
trust for which the grantor’s spouse is the sole income beneficiary), in
installments, as directed by the grantor, upon the grantor’s death. If the
grantor directs an installment method of distribution to the spouse as
beneficiary, any amounts remaining at the death of the spouse beneficiary shall
be distributed in a lump sum to the executor or administrator of the spouse
beneficiary’s estate. If the grantor directs an installment method of
distribution to a trust for which the grantor’s spouse is the sole income
beneficiary, any amounts remaining at the death of the spouse shall be
distributed in a lump sum to such trust. Despite the foregoing, if (i) the
beneficiary is a trust for which the grantor’s spouse is the sole income
beneficiary, (ii) payments are being made pursuant to this paragraph II-4
other than in a lump sum and (iii) income earned by the trust fund for the
year exceeds the amount of the annual installment payment, then such trust may
elect to withdraw such excess income by written notice to the trustee. Each
designation shall revoke all prior designations, shall be in writing and shall
be effective only when filed by the grantor with the administrator during the
grantor’s lifetime. If the grantor fails to direct a method of distribution,
the distribution shall be made in a lump sum. If the grantor fails to designate
a beneficiary as provided above, then on the grantor’s death, the trustee shall
distribute the balance of the trust fund in a lump sum to the executor or
administrator of the grantor’s estate.



 



II-5                              FACILITY
OF PAYMENT. When a person entitled to a distribution hereunder is under legal
disability, or, in the trustee’s opinion, is in any way incapacitated so as to
be unable to manage his or her financial affairs, the trustee may

relative or friend of such person for such person’s benefit. Any distribution
made in accordance with the preceding sentence shall be a full and complete
discharge of any liability for such distribution hereunder.

ARTICLE II

Distribution of the Trust Fund

        II-1.    Separate Accounts.    The administrator shall maintain two separate accounts under the trust, a "rollout account" and a "deferred account." Funds delivered to the trustee shall be allocated between the accounts by the trustee as directed by the administrator. As of the end of each calendar year, the administrator shall charge each account with all distributions made from such account during that year; and credit each account with its share of income and realized gains and charge each account with its share of expenses and realized losses for the year. The trustee shall not be required to make any separate investment of the trust fund for the accounts, and may administer and invest all funds delivered to it under the trust as one trust fund.

        II-2.    Distributions From the Rollout Account Prior to the Grantor's Death.    The trustee shall distribute principal and accumulated income credited to the rollout account to the grantor, if then living, at such times and in such amounts as the administrator shall direct.

        II-3.    Distributions From the Deferred Account Prior to the Grantor's Death.    Principal and accumulated income credited to the deferred account shall not be distributed from the trust prior to the grantor's retirement or other termination of employment with Abbott or a subsidiary of Abbott (the grantor's "settlement date"); provided that, each year the administrator may direct the trustee to distribute to the grantor a portion of the income of the deferred account for that year, with the balance of such income to be accumulated in that account. The administrator shall inform the trustee of the grantor's settlement date. Thereafter, the trustee shall distribute the amounts from time to time credited to the deferred account to the grantor, if then living, in a series of annual installments, with the amount of each installment computed by one of the following methods:

    (a)
    The amount of each installment shall be equal to the sum of: (i) the amount credited to the deferred account as of the end of the year in which the grantor's settlement date occurs, divided by the number of years over which installments are to be distributed; plus (ii) the net earnings credited to the deferred account for the preceding year (excluding the year in which the grantor's settlement date occurs).

    (b)
    The amount of each installment shall be determined by dividing the amount credited to the deferred account as of the end of the preceding year by the difference between: (i) the total number of years over which installments are to be distributed, and (ii) the number of annual installment distributions previously made from the deferred account.

    (c)
    Each installment (after the first installment) shall be approximately equal, with the amount comprised of the sum of: (i) the amount of the first installment, plus interest thereon at the rate determined under the 1998 Abbott Laboratories Performance Incentive Plan, compounded annually; and (ii) the net earnings credited to the deferred account for the preceding year.

2

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the final installment distribution made to the grantor under this Paragraph II-3 shall equal the total principal and accumulated income then held in the trust fund. The grantor, by writing filed with the trustee and the administrator on or before the end of the calendar year in which the grantor's settlement date occurs (or the end of the calendar year in which this trust is established, if the grantor's settlement date has already occurred), may select both the period (which may not be less than ten years from the end of the calendar year in which the grantor's settlement date occurred) over which the installment distributions are to be made and the method of computing the amount of each installment. In the absence of such a written direction by the grantor, installment distributions shall be made over a period of ten years, and the amount of each installment shall be computed by using the method described in subparagraph (a) next above. Installment distributions under this Paragraph II-3 shall be made as of January 1 of each year, beginning with the calendar year following the year in which the grantor's settlement date occurs. The administrator shall inform the trustee of the amount of each installment distribution under this Paragraph II-3, and the trustee shall be fully protected in relying on such information received from the administrator.

        II-4.    Distributions From the Trust Fund After the Grantor's Death.    The grantor, from time to time may name any person or persons (who may be named contingently or successively and who may be natural persons or fiduciaries) to whom the principal of the trust fund and all accrued or undistributed income thereof shall be distributed in a lump sum or, if the beneficiary is the grantor's spouse (or a "Trust" for which the grantor's spouse is the sole income beneficiary), in installments, as directed by the grantor, upon the grantor's death. If the grantor directs an installment method of distribution to the spouse as beneficiary, any amounts remaining at the death of the spouse beneficiary shall be distributed in a lump sum to the executor or administrator of the spouse beneficiary's estate. If the grantor directs an installment method of distribution to a Trust for which the grantor's spouse is the sole income beneficiary, any amounts remaining at the death of the spouse shall be distributed in a lump sum to such Trust. Despite the foregoing, if (i) the beneficiary is a Trust for which the grantor's spouse is the sole income beneficiary, (ii) payments are being made pursuant to this paragraph II-4 other than in a lump sum and (iii) income earned by the trust fund for the year exceeds the amount of the annual installment payment, then such Trust may elect to withdraw such excess income by written notice to the trustee. Each designation shall revoke all prior designations, shall be in writing and shall be effective only when filed by the grantor with the administrator during the grantor's lifetime. If the grantor fails to direct a method of distribution, the distribution shall be made in a lump sum. If the grantor fails to designate a beneficiary as provided above, then on the grantor's death, the trustee shall distribute the balance of the trust fund in a lump sum to the executor or administrator of the grantor's estate.

        II-5.    Facility of Payment.    When a person entitled to a distribution hereunder is under legal disability, or, in the trustee's opinion, is in any way incapacitated so as to be unable to manage his or her financial affairs, the trustee may make such distribution to such person's legal representative, or to a relative or friend of such person for such person's benefit. Any distribution made in accordance with the preceding sentence shall be a full and complete discharge of any liability for such distribution hereunder.

        II-6.    Perpetuities.    Notwithstanding any other provisions of this agreement, on the day next preceding the end of 21 years after the death of the last to die of the grantor and the grantor's descendants living on the date of this instrument, the trustee shall immediately distribute any remaining balance in the trust to the beneficiaries then entitled to distributions hereunder.
