and unsecured, be paid as soon as practicable after my death.
ITEM II
Direction to Pay All Taxes from Residuary Estate. I direct that all estate,
inheritance, succession, death or similar taxes (except generation-skipping transfer taxes)
assessed with respect to my estate herein disposed of, or any part thereof, or on any
bequest or devise contained in this my Last Will (which term wherever used herein shall
include any Codicil hereto), or on any insurance upon my life or on any property held
jointly by me with another or on any transfer made by me during my lifetime or on any
other property or interests in property included in my estate for such tax purposes be paid

beneficiary, transferee or owner of any such property or interests in property included in
my estate for such tax purposes.
ITEM III
Outright Gift of Residuary. I give, devise and bequeath all the rest, residue and
remainder of my property of every kind and description (including lapsed legacies and

allocating receipts of my estate between income and principal, to make adjustments in the
rights of any beneficiaries, or among the principal and income accounts to compensate
for the consequences of any tax decision or election, or of any investment or
administrative decision, that my Executor believes has had the effect, directly or
indirectly, of preferring one beneficiary or group of beneficiaries over others; provided,
however, my Executor shall not exercise its discretion in a manner which would cause
the loss or reduction of the marital deduction as may be herein provided. In determining
