Third, subdivisions (d) and (e) of the judgment are stricken therefrom. Fourth, subdivision (f) of the judgment is stricken therefrom and in its place the following subdivision designated (d) is substituted:

“(d). That upon the execution and delivery of said Declaration of Trust by said Charles Spencer Chaplin as aforesaid, and the acceptance thereof by said Citizens National Trust & Savings Bank, said bank having on deposit at said time the said sum of $200,000.00 theretofore deposited with it by the said Charles Spencer Chaplin, or the said sum of $200,000.00 deposited with said bank at the time of the acceptance of said Declaration of Trust by said bank, as the trust fund subject to the said Declaration of Trust, and the approval of the terms and conditions of said Declaration of Trust by said Lillita Louise Chaplin, as being in conformity with the said Property Settlement Agreement, the said Charles Spencer Chaplin shall be, and he hereby is, fully discharged of any and all obligation under said Property Settlement Agreement, or otherwise, to create the trust or trust fund for the benefit of the said minor children as provided in said Property Settlement Agreement, or to comply further with any term, condition or provision of said Property Settlement Agreement with respect to the creation of such trust or trust fund. ’'
