199 Dependent interests
(1) If a provision of a settlement creates an interest, the provision is not
rendered invalid by the rule against perpetuities or the rule against
perpetual trusts by reason only that the interest is subsequent to
and dependent on an interest that is rendered invalid.
(2) If a provision of a settlement creates an interest that is subsequent
to another interest and the other interest is rendered invalid by the
rule against perpetuities or the rule against perpetual trusts, the
acceleration of the vesting of the subsequent interest is not affected
by reason only that the other interest is invalid.
