Page 4 of 7 J.D.P.
estate or trust should be necessary in any jurisdiction where my Executrix or my Trustee is
unable to qualify, or if my Executrix or my Trustee deems it necessary for any other reason, I
give to my Executrix and my Trustee the power to designate any individual or corporation with
trust powers to serve with my Execuhix or my Trustee or in my Executrix's or my Trustee's
stead. I request that no security be required of any Executrix or Trustee, including an Executrix

Executrix or Trustee sha11 be entitled to receive reasonable compensation for his or her services
and, whether or not such individual receives compensation, shall be entitled to be reimbursed for
expenses incurred for such services.

terminate the trust and distribute the assets to the person or persons authorized to receive the trust
income in such shares as my Trustee may deern appropriate. No Trustee who is also an income
beneficiary of the trust at issue sha11 exercise any discretion granted in the preceding sentence.
