DELEGATION AGREEMENT

The undersigned acknowledges that CHARLES E. SHIPLER is the Attorney-in-fact for


VIRGINIA E. SHIPLER, having been appointed Attorney-in-Fact upon the death of DILLARD
B. SHIPLER, on the 2nd day of July, 2018.
The undersigned is desirous of delegating duties the undersigned has as Attorney-in-fact

assisting the undersigned in carrying out the duties of the Attorney-in-fact for VIRGINIA E.

VIRGINIA E. SHIPLER’s power of attorney provides on page 2, that the Attorney-in-
Fact is authorized “to engage the services of professional advisors, including but not limited to
attorneys, accountants, insurance agents and investment counselors and shall further have all
powers granted to Trustee’s by the Washington Trust Act and any amendments thereto, which
powers are incorporated herein by this reference…” The Washington Trust Act, under RCW
11.98.070 allows the trustee, in subpart (27) to “engage persons including, lawyers accountants,
investment advisors or agents even if they are associated with the trustee, to advise or assist the
trustee in the performance of the trustee’s duties, or to perform any act, subject to RCW
11.98.070.” RCW 11.98.071 provides that a trustee may delegate duties and powers that a
prudent trustee of comparable skills could properly delegate under the circumstances. The

attorney.”

associated with banks and their affiliates are authorized to rely upon the actions and directions
given by the above-named individuals, or either of them, for whom power has been delegated,

SHIPLER.
3. The person or persons to whom power has been delegated (the agent), as stated
above, shall be authorized to open bank accounts on behalf of the estate, be a signer on all of said

to do so until such time as said party receives actual written notification from the Attorney-in-
fact (being the undersigned) that this delegation of authority has been revoked or modified. Any
and all actions taken upon reliance of this authority prior to receipt of actual written notification
of revocation shall be deemed binding acts of the Attorney-in-fact.
8. Any person or entity relying upon this delegation of authority is not required to
verify the agent’s duties to the attorney-in-fact or their reporting to the attorney-in-fact and can
be assured that the attorney-in-fact is still responsible for the actions of the agent as authorized
herein. It is acknowledged that CHARLES E. SHIPLER is the Attorney-in-fact for VIRGINIA E.
SHIPLER and is responsible therefore in all actions taken with regard to the estate and any
person, entity, firm, or governmental entity is authorized to rely on CHARLES E. SHIPLER
continued responsibility, authority, and authority to delegate hereunder.
