9. Section 6.04(e) is hereby replaced with the following:
(e) (1) Subject to the provisions of subparagraph (2) of this

now in effect or as such rule may be amended in the future.
The Trustee shall not delegate such duties.

prudence and diligence such as a person having responsibility

be liable to the Trust for any loss occurring as a result of
its failure to do so.
(c) The Trustee shall indemnify the Trust and hold
the Trust harmless from and against any risk of loss of Trust
assets held in accordance with the foreign custody contract.
