               34.  The Appointor

               34.1   The Appointor shall have the ability to remove any person acting as trustee of the Beneficiary

                      Controlled Testamentary Trust by written instrument and to appoint another person(s) in
                      place of such removed Trustee.  In doing so, the Appointor may place any restrictions or
                      conditions  on  such  appointment  (for  example,  such  appointment  may  be  revocable  or
                      irrevocable).
               34.2   The initial Appointor of the Beneficiary Controlled Testamentary Trust shall be the Primary
                      Beneficiary, or in the case of a Primary Beneficiary under the age of 25 years, the Executor,
                      subject to the provisions of the succeeding subclauses of this clause.  Such person shall have
                      the power to appoint a person as an additional, replacement or successor Appointor in their
                      place by written instrument (including by deed, Will or codicil).

               34.3   An Appointor may resign at any time by written instrument and giving notice to the Trustee
                      whereupon that person shall cease to be an Appointor.

               34.4   Where there are several Appointors appointed, such Appointors shall act jointly.

               34.5   If the Appointor (or in the case of 2 or more Appointors, each of the Appointors) is or becomes
                      a  Disqualified  Person,  then  they  shall  cease  to  be  an  Appointor  and  the  Legal  Personal
                      Representative of  the  Appointor shall  be  or  assume  the  role  of  Appointor,  or  one of  the
                      Appointors in the Disqualified Person’s place provided that if the condition that caused the
                      Appointor to be a Disqualified Person ends, is reserved or otherwise ceases to apply, then that
                      former Appointor will assume their position as Appointor, or if several Appointors are in office
                      jointly, then with the other Appointors at that time.
               34.6   Subject  to  any  written  nomination  by  the  Appointor  to  the  contrary,  the  succession  of

                      Appointor shall be as follows:
                      a)      In the case of death or Legal Disability of a sole individual Appointor, on their death or
                              Legal Disability then:
                              i)     The persons who would have become Primary Beneficiaries under the clause
                                     headed  “Distributions  in  Lieu”  in  the  Main  Provisions  of  My  Will  as  if  the
                                     Primary Beneficiary failed to survive me by 30 days; but failing that
                              ii)    The Legal Personal Representative of the Appointor.
                      b)      In the case where several Appointors are appointed, then:
                              i)     The remaining Appointor or Appointors who are alive and who are not subject
                                     to a Legal Disability; but
                              ii)    Upon  the  death  or  Legal  Disability  of  the  last  of  the  Appointors  to  die  or
                                     become subject to a Legal Disability, the persons who would have become
                                     Primary Beneficiaries under the clause headed “Distributions in Lieu” in the
                                     Main Provisions of My Will as if the Primary Beneficiary failed to survive me
                                     by 30 days; but failing that
