For any administrative, tax or other purpose determined by my Trustees to be in the best interests of any Beneficiary (including any remainderman) hereunder, my Trustees may at any time and from time to time (whether before or after funding), without approval of any court, divide any trust under this Agreement into two or more separate trusts or combine two or 9 GJ 000360 EFTA00082281 more trusts with substantially identical terms (whether or not such trusts resulted from division of a prior trust).

C. Any time during the existence of separate trusts created by division of a trust hereunder, my Trustees may exercise all discretionary powers differently with respect to the separate trusts and take all other actions consistent with such trusts being separate entities.

No one serving as the Trustee of any trust under this Agreement shall be liable for any loss or depreciation in value occasioned by reason of any negligence, error or mistake of judgment in entering into any transaction, in making any sale or investment, in continuing to hold any property, or by reason of any action or omission, whether by my Trustees or any other fiduciary, unless such Trustee has acted in bad faith. In the absence of proof by affirmative evidence to the contrary, each Trustee shall be deemed to have acted within the scope of my Trustees' authority, to have exercised reasonable care, diligence, and prudence and to have acted impartially as to all interested persons. A Trustee shall not be liable for the acts or defaults of another Trustee. In the event a legal action is brought against any individual serving as the Trustee of any trust under this Agreement, all legal fees and related expenses incurred in connection with the defense of such legal action shall be paid by such trust without court authorization; provided, however, that (a) no such payment shall (or shall continue to) be made if a court enters an order prohibiting such payment, and (b) such Trustee shall refund to the trust any such payments that previously had been made if a court enters an order directing that such payments be refunded, or if a court concludes that such Trustee acted in bad faith.

The courts of the State of Delaware and the U.S. Virgin Islands shall have primary supervision over the administration of each trust created by this Agreement. It is intended that each such trust shall be a U.S. domestic trust as defined in Title 26 section 7701(aX30) of the Code by virtue of meeting the court and control test. As provided in Treas. Reg. section 301.7701-7(cX4)(D), if both a United States court and a foreign court are able to exercise primary supervision over the administration of the trust, the trust meets the court test. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, my Trustees of each trust created under this Agreement have discretion at any time or times following my death to transfer the situs of such trust to such other country, or such other jurisdiction as my Trustees determine, without obtaining judicial authorization or approval (unless such judicial authorization or approval is required by applicable law) and without the filing of any bond. My Trustees' determination to transfer the situs of any trust under this Agreement shall be evidenced by an instrument in writing signed, witnessed and acknowledged by my Trustees in the same manner as would be required for a deed. My Trustees are authorized to take whatever actions are necessary to effect such a transfer of situs. If judicial authorization or approval is required to effect such a transfer of situs, I intend and desire that the appropriate court accept the determination of my Trustees concerning the transfer of the situs of such trust even if one or more Beneficiaries disagree with such determination. From and after my Trustees' transfer of the situs of a trust pursuant to this Section 8.3 of Article VIII, the administration of such trust shall be governed by the law of the new situs of such trust. Section 8.4.- Definition of Terms Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, as used in this Agreement, A. The term "Trustee" means all persons or entities who occupy the office of Trustee of any trust hereunder while such persons or entities occupy such office, whether one or more persons or entities occupy the office of Trustee at the same time or times, and includes any successor Trustee or Trustees. The term "Executor" of a person's estate means all persons or entities who occupy the office of personal representative, administrator, executor, or ancillary administrator while such persons or entities occupy such office, whether one or more persons or entities occupy such office at the same time or times, and includes any successor or successors to that office. A reference to a person's Will means such person's Last Will and Testament and any Codicil or Codicils thereto. 19 GJ 000370 EFTA00082291 B.

Whenever the singular number is used, the same shall include the plural, and the masculine gender shall include the feminine and neuter genders. Section 8.5.- No Contest If any Beneficiary under this Agreement shall in any way directly or indirectly (a) contest or object to the probate of my Will or to the validity of any disposition or provision of my Will or of this Agreement or (b) institute or prosecute, or be in any way directly or indirectly instrumental in the institution or prosecution of, any action, proceeding, contest, objection or claim for the purpose of setting aside or invalidating my Will or this Agreement or any disposition therein or herein or provision thereof or hereof, then I direct that (aa) any and all provisions in this Agreement for such Beneficiary and his issue in any degree shall be null and void and (bb) my estate, whether passing under my Will or this Agreement or pursuant to the laws of intestacy, shall be disposed of as if such Beneficiary and his issue in any degree had all failed to survive me.
