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 North Carolina 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

have the same power and effect as the original.

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.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have on this _______________________, 20___ executed
