            (1)  any asset received in kind, even though it is not an
        authorized investment;
            (2)  any asset purchased in reliance upon a construction,
        by the court, of the instrument or a provision contained
        therein even though the court in a subsequent proceeding
        adopts a contrary construction thereof; and
            (3)  shares of stock or other securities (and securities
        received as distributions in respect thereof) of a holding
        company subject to the Federal Bank Holding Company Act of
        1956, as amended, received upon conversion of, or in exchange
        for, shares of stock or other securities of a bank or a
        holding company subject to the Federal Bank Holding Company
        Act of 1956, as amended, which the fiduciary was directed or
        authorized to retain, in the instrument establishing the
        trust or otherwise.
