Page 2 of 4
own proper person if personally present, the above specially enumerat-
ed powers being in aid and exemplification of the full, complete, and
general power herein granted and not in limitation or definition
thereof; and hereby ratifying all that my said attorney shall lawfully
do or cause to be done by virtue of these presents.
In the event of the death or inability of my wife, Alice H.
Agnew, to function as my attorney under this Power of Attorney, then I
appoint my son, Robert A. Agnew, as my true and lawful attorney with
all of the powers heretofore granted to my wife, Alice H. Agnew, and I
authorize and empower my son, Robert A. Agnew, to certify to the death
or inability of my wife, Alice H. Agnew, to function hereunder and I
hold harmless anyone who relies on such certification.
AND I hereby declare that any act or thing lawfully done hereun-
der by my said attorney shall be binding on myself, and my heirs,
legal and personal representatives, and assigns.
This Power of Attorney shall continue in force and may be accept-
ed and relied upon by anyone to whom it is presented despite my
purported revocation of it or my death, until actual written notice of
such event is received by such person. In the event of my incompeten-
cy or incapacity, from whatever cause, this Power of Attorney shall
not thereby be revoked but shall thereupon become irrevocable during
the period of my incompetency or incapacity, and may be accepted and
relied upon by anyone to whom it is presented despite such incompeten-
cy or incapacity, subject only to it becoming void and of no further
effect only upon receipt by such person either of (1) written evidence
of the appointment of a guardian (or similar fiduciary) of my estate
following adjudication of incompetency or incapacity, or (2) written
notice of my death. This Power of Attorney shall not be affected by
my subsequent disability or incapacity.
In the event any court declares that I have become incompetent or
incapacitated, I hereby state I prefer that no guardian of my estate
or person be appointed so that my affairs may be conducted under this
general durable power of attorney, but if the court proceeds to
appoint a guardian of my estate or person then under the authority
granted to me in Section 5604(c) (2) of the Probate, Estates and
Fiduciaries Code I hereby nominate as such guardian of the estate or
of my person the person or persons who is or are then serving under
this general durable power of attorney.
My attorney-in-fact hereby shall be entitled to reasonable
compensation for services performed hereunder as ~'ell as to reimburse-
ment for all reasonable costs and expenses actually incurred in
Page 3 of 4
carrying out any agent's duties and responsibilities hereunder. The
attorney-in-fact acting under this power of attorney shall not be
liable for any acts of commission or omission performed in good faith
and shall be liable only for deliberate and intentional defalcation.
