Any trustee serving at any time may appoint a successor trustee to serve when the<br />

appointing trustee fails or ceases to serve as trustee (including a trustee whose<br />

appointment was designated for future effect).<br />

If an appointing trustee names a successor trustee, and if I have also named or<br />

provided for the appointment of one or more successor trustees in or pursuant<br />

to this Article, the appointments I have made shall take priority. 4<br />
