1.Charitable purpose becomes unlawful, impracticable, impossible to achieve or wasteful.

A provision in the terms of a charitable trust that would result in distribution of the trust property to a noncharitable beneficiary prevails over the power of the court under subsection 1 to apply cy pres to modify or terminate the trust only if, when the provision takes effect:A. The trust property is to revert to the settlor and the settlor is still living; or [2003, c. 618, Pt. A, §1(NEW); 2003, c. 618, Pt. A, §2(AFF).]B.
