II. INTERPRETATION AND GOVERNING LAW

This instrument is to be construed and interpreted as a general non-durable power of

attorney. The enumeration of specific powers herein is not intended to, nor does it, limit

or restrict the general powers herein granted to my attorney-in-fact. For a third party to

construe otherwise would be contrary to my intent. This instrument is executed and

delivered in the State of Washington and the laws of such state shall govern all

questions as to the validity of this power and the construction of its provisions.

Nevertheless, I intend that this instrument be given full force and effect in any state or

country in which I may find myself or in which I may own property, whether real or

personal. I direct that my attorney-in-fact not be required to give bond and, if any bond

is required, that no sureties be required. I direct that photocopies of this instrument shall

have the same power and effect as the original.

apply (termination is effective at which of the following occurs first):

____ - When and if I become incapacitated and unable to make decisions as

determined by a physician.

IV. THIRD PARTY RELIANCE

Any party dealing with my attorney-in-fact hereunder may rely absolutely on the

authority granted herein and need not look to the application of any proceeds nor the

authority of my attorney-in-fact as to any action taken hereunder. In this regard, no

person who may in good faith act in reliance upon the representations of my attorney-in-

fact or the authority granted hereunder shall incur any liability to me or my estate as a

result of such act. I hereby ratify and confirm whatever my attorney-in-fact shall lawfully

do under this instrument. Any gift of property made by my attorney-in-fact in the proper

exercise of the gift-making powers specifically granted in section I (9) herein shall be a

full and complete delivery of title upon which third-party purchasers for value may rely.

My attorney-in-fact is authorized as he or she deems necessary to bring an action in

court so that this instrument shall be given the full power and effect that I intend on by

executing it.
