Section 7.7. - Relief from Virile Islands Statutory Provisions Pursuant to Section 1212, Title 15, of the Virgin Islands Code, I hereby relieve my Trustees and any successor Trustees of the requirements imposed by Chapter 59, Title 15 of the Virgin Islands Code, or any similar successor law respecting public filings of inventories and 24 GJ 000452 EFTA00099472 accountings by Trustees. Furthermore, pursuant to Section 1107, Title 15, of the Virgin Islands Code, I hereby relieve my Trustees and any successor Trustees, to the extent allowable, from any and all duties, restrictions, and liabilities which would otherwise be imposed upon my Trustees by Chapter 57, Title 15, Virgin Islands Code. This Section 7.7 of this Article VII shall not be deemed a waiver of any and all other rights, powers, or restrictions otherwise granted to my Trustees in this Agreement. Article VIII Miscellaneous Provisions Section 8.1. - Representation of Person Under a Disability To the extent allowed by law, where a party to any proceeding with respect to any trust hereunder has the same interest as a person under a disability, legal process shall not be required on the person under a disability. Section 8.2. - Simultaneous Deathj If a Beneficiary under this Agreement and I die simultaneously or under such circumstances that it is difficult to determine who died first, then for all purposes of this Agreement such Beneficiary shall be deemed to have predeceased me. Section 8.3. - Law Governing This Agreement and each trust created by it shall in all respects and for all purposes be governed and regulated by the laws of the Territory of the United States Virgin Islands, as they now exist and may from time to time be enacted, amended, or repealed. All questions regarding the validity, construction and administration of this Agreement, or any of its provisions, and of any trust created by it shall be determined solely by the laws of that Territory. 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 25 GJ 000453 EFTA00099473 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 this 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.
