Grantors further recognize, should these conditions or any of them occur, a<br />

termination of this <strong>Trust</strong> might be desirable. Therefore, if at any time the <strong>Trust</strong>ee<br />

shall in its sole discretion determination that the continuation of any <strong>Trust</strong> created<br />

hereunder is contrary to the interests of the Beneficiaries for any of the above<br />

reasons, then the <strong>Trust</strong>ee may make application to the then court of general<br />

jurisdiction in the place where such <strong>Trust</strong> shall have its situs. If such court, by<br />

appropriate decree, shall determine a condition coming within any of the foregoing<br />

standards has occurred, and the best interests of such <strong>Trust</strong> and of the person<br />

interested in it require the termination of such <strong>Trust</strong>, then the <strong>Trust</strong>ee shall,<br />

following entry of such decree and obedient to its terms, distribute the property of<br />

such <strong>Trust</strong> to the then Beneficiary or Beneficiaries according to their respective<br />

interest, as set forth in such decree. No <strong>Trust</strong>ee shall be required to consider any<br />

requested such consideration in writing.<br />

hereunder which would be exercisable by the <strong>Trust</strong>ees may be exercised by the<br />

special <strong>Trust</strong>ee with respect to the property designated for their administration with<br />

shall have the power to remove and replace a special <strong>Trust</strong>ee by a written<br />

instrument.<br />

determinations in favor of such current income Beneficiary without being<br />

answerable to any person for any such determinations; but no current income<br />

Beneficiary may compel the <strong>Trust</strong>ee to make any determinations in his or her favor.<br />

31. Investments. It is the intention of the Grantors that the investments<br />
