LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT
OF

hereby revoking all my former Wills and Codicils.

ARTICLE ONE
TANGIBLE PERSONAL PROPERTY
I bequeath all my tangible personal property, including by way of iII.u~tration trot
"~,...1 . .

,
C,)
not by way of limitation, my household furniture and furnishings, paintings, books, automobffes,
jewelry and personal effects, exclusive of any such property used in a trade or business, in
accordance with the terms of a signed and dated memorandum I may prepare. If no such
memorandum is located or received by my executor within sixty (60) days of being appointed as
such, My Executor shall be held harmless for distributing such property as hereafter provided.
Any property not disposed of by such memorandum or all of such property if no such
memorandum is so located or received, shall, be distributed to my wife, Mary E. Schubert, if
she survives me. If she does not survive me, such assets shall be distributed to my children
living at my death to be divided among them in as nearly equal shares as they agree. In the
event of irreconcilable disagreement among my children, they shall take alternate turns
selecting individual items with my oldest child making the first selection. Any items not so
selected shall be sold and the proceeds shall pass as a part of my residuary estate.
S 1.2 To the extent practicable in the Executor's sole discretion, I bequeath any
policies of insurance on such property to the beneficiary entitled to such property.
~ 1.3 I direct that the expenses of storing, packing, shipping, insuring and delivering
any such property to the beneficiary entitled thereto shall be paid by the Executor as an
administrative expense of my estate.
ARTICLE TWO
RESIDUE
~ 2.1 I devise and bequeath all the residue of my estate to the then serving trustee of
"The Charles F. Schubert Revocable Trust" created under Agreement dated as of even date
herewith, by myself, as Settlor, and myself, as Trustee, as the same may have been or may be
further amended or restated prior to my death ("My Revocable Trust"), to be distributed in
accordance with the terms of said trust agreement, or if said trust agreement is not in effect at
the time of my death, in accordance with the terms specified therein on the date of this Will or
of its last publication by Codicil or otherwise.
ARTICLE THREE
APPOINTMENT OF FIDUCIARIES
~ 3.1 I appoint my wife, Mary E. Schubert, as Executor of this Will. If she is unable or
unwilling to act or continue to act, for any reason whatsoever, I appoint Charles F. Schubert, Jr.,
as successor Executor. If Charles F. Schubert, Jr., is unable or unwilling to act as Executor,
then Daniel L. Schubert shall act as Executor. If Daniel L. Schubert is unable or unwilling to act
as Executor, then Patricia S. Underwood shall act as Executor. All references herein to the
"Executor" shall mean my originally appointed Executor or the successor Executor, as the case
may be.
~ 3.2 I appoint the then serving trustee of My Revocable Trust as Guardian of the
estates of any minor beneficiaries under this Will, including the proceeds of any life insurance
on my life payable to such minors and any other property, rights or claims with respect to which
-2-
I am entitled to appoint a guardian and have not otherwise specifically done so. The Guardian
shall have full authority to use such assets, both principal and income, in any manner the
Guardian shall deem advisable for the best interests of the minor, including college and
graduate education, and professional, vocational or technical training, without securing a court
order.
ARTICLE FOUR
POWERS OF FIDUCIARIES
~ 4.1 No fiduciary under this Will shall be required to give bond or other security for the
faithful performance of the fiduciary's duties.
~ 4.2 Any such fiduciary shall have the following powers, in addition to those given by
law:
~ 4.2.1 To invest in, accept and retain any real or personal property, including
stock of a corporate fiduciary or its holding company, without restriction to legal
investments;
~ 4.2.2 To sell, exchange, partition or lease for any period of time any real or
personal property and to give options therefor for cash or credit, with or without security;
~ 4.2.3 To borrow money from any person including any fiduciary acting
hereunder, and to mortgage or pledge any real or personal property;
~ 4.2.4 To hold shares of stock or other securities in nominee registration
form, including that of a clearing corporation or depository, or in book entry form or
unregistered or in such other form as will pass by delivery;
~ 4.2.5 To engage in litigation and compromise, arbitrate or abandon claims;
~ 4.2.6 To determine the apportionment of receipts and expenses, including
extraordinary cash dividends, stock dividends, capital-gain dividends of regulated
investment companies and proceeds and expenses of the sale of unproductive real
estate, between income and principal, such apportionment to be made so as to balance
fairly the interests of any income beneficiary and the remaindermen;
~ 4.2.7 To join with my wife or her personal representative in the filing of a joint
income tax return for any period for which such a return may be permitted, without
requiring her or her estate to indemnify my estate against liability for the tax attributable
to her income, and to consent, for federal gift tax purposes, to having gifts made by my
wife during my lifetime treated as having been made half by me;
-3-
~ 4.2.8 To make distributions in cash, or in kind at current values, or partly in
each, allocating specific assets to particular distributees on a non-pro rata basis, and for
such purposes to make reasonable determinations of current values;
~ 4.2.9 To make elections, decisions, concessions and settlements in
connection with all income, estate, inheritance, gift or other tax returns and the payment
of such taxes, without obligation to adjust the distributive share of income or principal of
any person affected thereby;
~ 4.2.10 To allocate, in the Executor's sole and absolute discretion, any
portion of my exemption under Section 2631 (a) of the Internal Revenue Code, to any
property as to which I am the transferor, including any property transferred by me during
my lifetime as to which I did not make an allocation prior to my death; and
~ 4.2.11 To disclaim any interest I may have in any estate if the Executor
deems such disclaimer to be in the best interests of my estate and the beneficiaries
thereof.
ARTICLE FIVE
PROVISION FOR TAXES
~ 5.1 All estate taxes, inheritance taxes, transfer taxes and other taxes of a similar
nature payable by reason of my death to any government or subdivision thereof upon or with
respect to any property subject to any such tax, and any penalties thereon, shall be paid by the
Executor out of the principal of that portion of my estate disposed of by Article Two of this Will
and allocated among beneficiaries in accordance with the provisions of My Revocable Trust. All
interest with respect to any such taxes shall be paid by the Executor out of the income or
principal or partly out of the income and partly out of the principal of such portion of my estate,
in the absolute discretion of the Executor. My Executor shall not make apportionment among or
seek reimbursement from the beneficiaries, recipients or owners of such property for any such
taxes, penalties or interest, except as provided in My Revocable Trust. Notwithstanding any
provision of this Article to the contrary, the Executor shall not pay any such taxes, penalties or
iinterest attributable to any property included in my estate solely because of a power of
-4-
appointment thereover which I possess but have not exercised or any qualified terminable
interest property.
ARTICLE SIX
PROVISION FOR DEBTS AND EXPENSES
~ 6.1 I direct that any of my legally enforceable debts, any expenses of my last illness,
funeral and burial, and any of the administrative expenses of my estate, shall be paid from the
principal of that portion of my estate disposed of by Article Two of this Will.
ARTICLE SEVEN
BUSINESS INTERESTS
~ 7.1 In the event any business interest should be an asset of my estate, whether the
same involves a proprietary interest, a partnership interest or stock in a closely held
corporation, whether wholly owned, controlled by me or owned in substantial part by me, I
authorize the Executor, subject to the terms of any agreement I may have made for the sale of
my interests, to continue said business until such time as the Executor shall deem it advisable
to sell, to liquidate or to distribute the same in kind. With respect to any sale or exchange of the
stock of any such business interest and in the absence of any such agreement entered into by
me prior to my death, I direct the Executor to consider and to determine the appropriateness of
a sale or redemption of such stock in accordance with Section 303 of the Internal Revenue
Code to the business entity and a possible deferral of federal estate tax payments under
Section 6166 of the Internal Revenue Code. It is my desire that to the extent possible any
business interest which I may own at the time of my death be continued or disposed of only in
an orderly manner so as to maximize the proceeds of any disposition. If an election under the
foregoing provisions will effect such desire, the Executor is encouraged to pursue such election
if the Executor deems such election also to be in the best interests of my estate and the
-5-
beneficiaries thereof. The Executor shall have all rights and powers in connection with such
business as I had when living, including specifically the power at any time and from time to time
to operate or to join in the operation of the same as a going concern, to form or to reform a
general or limited partnership, to incorporate or to reincorporate and to liquidate or to sell the
same or any part thereof as the Executor deems it advisable for the best interests of my estate
and of the beneficiaries thereof without the necessity of any order of court and without any
liability for loss resulting from the operation of said business except when such loss is the result
of gross negligence or fraud on the part of the Executor.
ARTICLE EIGHT
MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS
S 8.1 As used in this Will, the term "Internal Revenue Code" shall mean the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended from time to time, or the corresponding provision of
subsequent law.
S 8.2 If my wife and I die under such circumstances that it is impossible to determine
which of us survived, it shall be conclusively presumed and this Will shall be construed as if my
wife had survived me. If any person other than my wife and I die under such circumstances
that it is impossible to determine which of us survived, it shall be conclusively presumed and
this Will shall be construed as if such person had predeceased me.
S 8.3 A corporate fiduciary shall be entitled to receive compensation for its services
hereunder in accordance with its schedule in effect when the services are performed, but not in
excess of such compensation as would be approved by a court of competent jurisdiction. An
individual fiduciary shall be entitled to receive reasonable compensation for such fiduciary's
services hereunder.
