ARTICLE VII
DEFINITION OF MARITAL GIFT
The Marital Gift is that amount, if any, equal to the minimum amount necessary to reduce
the federal estate tax to zero, or as close thereto as possible, b.~ utilizing the marital deduction
available under the federal estate tax law in effect at the time of my death, but only after taking
into account all credits for federal estate tax purposes available to my estate and all other assets
which pass to my husband under this Will or otherwise and which qualify for the marital
deduction. Notwithstanding the foregoing provision, any crediit for state death taxes shall be
taken into account only to the extent that state death taxes are not increased thereby.
It is intended that this Marital Gift shall be treated as a pecuniary bequest. All assets
Kulzer & DiPadova
.4 Professional Corporation
76 Euclid Avenue
Haddonfield, NJ OR033
distributed under this Marital Gift shall be assets which qualify for the marital deduction under
Federal estate tax law and shall be valued as of the date or dates l~f distribution of such assets. It
is my intention that this Marital Gift shall qualify for the federal estate tax marital deduction and
I direct that all provisions of this Will shall be construed and applied in a manner that will not
impair the qualification of this Marital Gift for marital deduction purposes under the Internal
Revenue Code of 1985, as amended (hereinafter referred to as the "Code"), and I further direct
that insofar as any provisions of this Will may adversely affect the qualification of said Marital
Gift for marital deduction purposes, such provisions shall be disregarded.

ARTICLE VIII
SIMULTANEOUS DEATH
For purposes of this Will, my husband shall be deemed to survive me if the order of our
deaths is not clear.
ARTICLE IX
PROTECTIVE PROVISIONS
The interests of the beneficiaries hereunder shall be free from anticipation, voluntary or
involuntary alienation, assignment, pledge or obligation, and shall not be subject to attachment,
execution or to other legal process.
ARTICLE X
MINORITY AND DISABILIT`~
Except as otherwise provided herein, if any income or p~~incipal becomes payable to any
Ku(zer & DiPadova
A Professional Corpora ion
76 Euclid Avenue
Haddonfield, N1 Oft033
beneficiary who is a minor, or to a beneficiary who in the sole judgment of the Fiduciary
responsible for making such distribution is legally incapacitated., then such amount shall vest in
such beneficiary, but shall be held in a separate trust account for such beneficiary by the Trustee
during such period of minority or incapacity; and the Trustee shall apply as much of the income
and principal as the Trustee deems necessary for the health, maintenance, education, and support
in reasonable comfort of said beneficiary. Such amounts maybe applied directly, or maybe paid
to said beneficiary's guardian, to said beneficiary's custodian under a Uniform Transfer to
Minor.'s Act, or similar applicable law of any state, or to any person or organization for the
benefit of such minor or incapacitated beneficiary. Any income and principal not so expended or
distributed by the Trustee shall be retained by the Trustee and paid to the beneficiary upon such
beneficiary's attainment of the age of majority or upon termination of the incapacity, as the case
maybe, or earlier if the Trustee deems it advisable. In the event the beneficiary dies while still a
9
minor or while still incapacitated, any principal and income remaining shall be paid over to such
beneficiary's estate. For purposes of this Will, a person shall be deemed to be a "minor" so long
as such person is under the age of twenty-one (21) years, any st~~tute now or hereafter in force to
the contrary notwithstanding.

law and by any provision of this Will, all of which shall be exercised in a fiduciary capacity for
the best interests of the beneficiaries hereunder, and none of which may be applied in any
manner which would cause disqualification of any marital deduction for tax purposes:
(A) To retain any investment in their discretion, anti to make such investment and
reinvestment and in such proportions, without regard to statutes limiting the property which the
Fiduciary may purchase, as the appropriate fiduciary shall consider beneficial to my estate or to
any trust established hereunder, as the case maybe; provided, however, in the event any property
qualifying for the marital deduction for tax purposes shall be or become unproductive or under
productive of income, the Fiduciary shall, at the written direction of my spouse, dispose of such
property and invest the proceeds in property which shall be productive of a reasonable income.
(B) To (1) participate in any merger or reorganization affecting securities held
hereunder at any time; (2) deposit stocks under voting agreements; (3) exercise any option to

(I) The Fiduciary is authorized to employ attorneys, accountants, investment
advisors, specialists and such other agents as the Fiduciary sh;~ll deem necessary or desirable.
The Fiduciary shall have the authority to appoint an investment manager or managers to manage
all or any part of the assets of the trust, and to delegate to said. manager investment discretion.
Such appointment shall include power to acquire and dispose o:F such assets and to perform any
act of administration, whether or not discretionary. The Fiduciary may charge the compensation
of such attorneys, accountants, investment advisors, investment managers, specialists and other
agents and any other expenses against the trust.
(J) To execute and deliver all instruments of writing necessary or appropriate for the
exercise of the appropriate fiduciary's powers.
(K) I authorize my Personal Representative to exercise such options as may be

Representative shall deem appropriate.
(L) To join with my spouse or my spouse's estate in the filing of any Federal income
tax return for any year for which I have not filed such return prior to my death, and to consent to
any gifts made by my spouse as being made one-half by me for tax purposes; any income or gift
tax due on such return and any deficiencies, penalties or refi~nds thereon shall be allocated
between my estate and my spouse and my spouse's estate or to any of them in such manner as
my Personal Representative may determine; and my Personal Representative may take such
action even though it may result in additional liabilities for my estate.
(M) After my spouse is not living, for convenience of administration and investment,
(1) the Fiduciary is authorized to hold the several shares which rr~ay be established hereunder for
any of my issue as a common fund, dividing the income proportionately among them, and, to
assign undivided interests to the shares, and to make joint investments of the funds belonging to
them; and (2) the Fiduciary may consolidate any such separate share with any other trust or trusts
created by me or any member of my family by Will or otherwise.
(N) If, after my spouse is not living, in the Fiduciary's discretion, it is impractical or
uneconomical to administer any fund held hereunder as a trust, then the Fiduciary may, without
further responsibility, pay the fund to the person, or to the legal representatives of said person,
who is then entitled to receive income therefrom.
(O) If an election to do so is provided by law, my Personal Representative may claim
any expenses of administration of my estate as income tax or estate tax deductions, or partly for
each, to the extent that in the discretion of said Personal Representative such action will achieve
an ovf;rall reduction in the income taxes and inheritance, estate and other death taxes for the
~t
benefit of my estate and of the beneficiaries thereof. I further direct that no compensating
adjustments, as between income and principal accounts or in thf; amount to be distributed to any
beneficiary, shall be required or made as a result of such actions.

held in my estate or in any trust created under my Will related to the generation, use, treatment,
storage, disposal, release, discharge, or contamination by any materials or substances that are
prohibited or regulated by federal, state or local law or that are known to pose a hazard to the
environment or human health. Such actions may be taken prior to the initiation of enforcement
action by a federal, state or local agency. My Fiduciary shall obtain an estimate of the cost of
such response to such violation or contamination and shall notify the beneficiaries of my estate
or trust of the estimated costs of such response. Such beneficiaries shall have the right to pay for
such response costs or to authorize payment of such costs by the Fiduciary from estate or trust
assets. If the beneficiaries of my estate or trust for any reason fail to pay for or authorize
payment of such costs from trust or estate assets, the Fiduciary shall nonetheless be entitled to
