FIFTH: In the exercise of responsibilities, my fiduciaries

given by law, and without the necessity of obtaining the consent of
any court, the following powers: to accept and to retain
investments and property which are a part of my estate; to invest

person receiving or having a beneficial interest in any such
property whether under this will or otherwise shall at any time be
required to contribute to or refund any part thereof; provided,
however, that this direction shall not apply to taxes on any
property included in my estate solely because of a power of
appointment thereover which I possess, but have not exercised, or
any qualified terminable interest or to any generation-skipping
transfer taxes.
