MARY G. BELLANCA
ARTICLE I
I am married to LEONARD BELLANCA, who is referred to in this Instrument
as my "spouse." LEONARD C. BELLANCA, of Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania, JAMES A.
BELLANCA, of Winnetka, Illinois, JOSEPH J. BELLANCA, of Malvem, Pennsylvania,
PAUL M.BELLANCA, of Honotulu, Hawaii, and MARY ANN SLATTERY, of Midliothian,
Virginia, together with any children whom I may adopt after my execution Of this
Instrument, are referred to in this Instrument as my children, and no other individual,
regardless of relationship to me, shall be entitled to share in any bequest or devise made
to my children, or to any of them.
It is my wish that, upon my death, I be cremated and my ashes disposed of
as determined by my Executor.
ARTICLE II
I revoke all Wills and Codicils previousty made by me. I direct that my just
debts (as determined by my Executor), the expenses of my last illness and funeral, and the
expenses of the administration of my estate be paid as soon as practicable after my death
from my residuary estate. If at the time of my death any real property herein bequeathed
is subject to a mortgage, I direct that the beneficiary receiving the mortgaged property shall
/
- 1 -
m.j:). ~.
. .
take it subject to the mortgage and the indebtedness secured thereby and shall not be
entitled to have such indebtedness paid out of my general estate. I direct that all estate,
inheritance, or other taxes assessed upon or with respect to any property or interest in
property included in my estate for such tax purposes shall be paid as provided in the Trust
referenced in, or created pursuant to, Article V of this Instrument.
ARTICLE IH
I direct that, tp tJ1e.extent permitted by the Probate Code of South Carolina,
my Executor, BenefICiaries and Heirs abide by any Memorandum, signed by me,
designating the recipients d ,specific items of tangible personal 'property which I own at the
time of my death, whether such Memorandum is executed before or after the date of this
Instrument. I further direct that, if any named recipient shall not survive me, the bequest
to that recipient shall be deemed to have lapsed, and the items of tangible personal
property designated for such recipient shall, unless otherwise provided in the
Memorandum, become part of my remaining tangible personal property bequeathed by this
Instrument.
ARTICLE N
I hereby bequeath all of my tangible personal property (except currency) not
otherwise bequeathed by separate Memorandum to benefICiaries who have survived me,
including but not limited to furniture, furnishings, collections, antiques, paintings,
silverware, china, glass, books, jewelry, wearing apparel, automobiles, boats, and all
insurance policies thereon, to my spouse if my said spouse survives me by thirty (30) days.
If my said spouse does not so survive me, I bequeath all of said tangible personal property
to my children who survive me, to be divided among them by my Executor in as nearly
equal shares as may be practical. I request, but do not require, that my Executor give due
regard to any preferences expressed by my children; the discretion of my Executor shall

In. jJ, ~,
~
-
be exdusive and absolute, and no decision made by my Executor may be chaUenged by
any beneficiary hereunder. The cost of storing and insuring any of my tangible personal
property shall be an administrative expense payable from my residuary estate; costs of
delivery shall be borne by the beneficiary receiving the same.
ARTICLE V
I bequeath the remainder of my property, real and personal, tangible and
intangible, of whatever nature and Wherever it may be located, whether acquired before
or after the execution of this Instrument, including any specific devise or bequest
established by this Instrument which lapses (referred to in total as my ''residuary estate")
to the then Trustee or Trustees under that certain Trust Agreement executed by me as
Grantor prior to the execution of this Instrument and dated the 15th day of April, 1997. The
Trustee or Trustees shall add the property bequeathed and devised by this Article to the
corpus of the above desaibed Trust and shall hold, administer and distribute said property
in accordance with the provisions of the said Trust Agreement, including all amendments
thereto. In the event that, for any reason, the bequest and devise under this Article is
ineffective and invalid, then I bequeath the same to my eldest son, LEONARD C.
BELLANCA as Trustee, to be held, administered and distributed in accordance with the
provisions of the above desaibed Trust Agreement, which provisions are incorporated by
this reference and made a part of this Instrument to the same extent as if set forth in their
entirety in this Instrument. If for any reason such person or entity is unable or unwilling to
serve as Trustee, I hereby nominate, constitute and appoint as successor or substitute
Trustee that person or entity which is next designated in ARTICLE XII of the above
referenced Trust Agreement that is willing and able to so serve; if there be none, then I
appoint that trust company, financial institution possessing a trust department or trust
company subsidiary of a sea.uities brokerage company designated in a written instrument

spouse fails to act in a timely manner, signed by or on behalf of my oldest living child, or
if he or she faNs to act in a timely manner, by the court having jurisdiction of the probate
