ARTICLE ONE TANGIBLE PERSONAL PROPERTY ~ 1.1 I bequeath all my tangible personal property, including by way of illustration but not by way of limitation, my household furniture and furnishings, paintings, books, automobiles, jewelry and personal effects, exclusive of any such property used in a trade or business, 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. § 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 est~~'1}7tr,C-~1y, ~-,.-,; ,--.~ .. ,,-~, (/'1; /'~1 .~1i 1~~~~ ~{t~i'd~-Id~O - i 'Yj ' ,;i''~ ~i 4 ~a raj ~ ~ _ "~ I1 •.:.'.' j ~~ ARTICLE TWO RESIDUE § 2.1 I devise and bequeath all the residue of my estate to the then serving trustee of "The Lena Ritner Stover 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 son, JACK M. STOVER, as Executor of this Will. If he is unable or unwilling to act or continue to act,. for any reason whatsoever, I appoint my daughter, EMILY J. DeROCCO, as successor Executrix. All references herein to the "Executor" shall mean my originally appointed Executor or the successor Executrix, as the case may be. 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: ~~s § 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 snake 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; § 4.2.7 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; and 4.2.8 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 PROVISIONS 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 .J" ~/pA /~^/"~ 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. ARTICLE SIX PROVISIONS 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 MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS ~ 7.1 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. ~ 7.2 If any person 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. ~ 7.3 An individual fiduciary shall be entitled to receive reasonable compensation for such fiduciary's services hereunder. ~~~. § 7.4 Whenever a fiduciary is directed to distribute property to or for the benefit of any beneficiary who is under (a) twenty-one (21) years of age, or (b) a legal disability or otherwise suffers from an illness or mental or physical disability that would make distribution directly to such beneficiary inappropriate (as determined in such fiduciary's sole discretion exercised in good faith), the fiduciary may distribute such property to the person who has custody of such beneficiary, may apply such property for the benefit of such beneficiary, may distribute such property to a custodian for such beneficiary, whether then serving or selected and appointed by the fiduciary (including the fiduciary), under any applicable Uniform Transfers to Minors Act or Uniform Gifts to Minors Act, may distribute such property to the guardian of such beneficiary's estate, may distribute such property directly to such beneficiary's estate, or may distribute such property directly to such beneficiary (except if any of the conditions hereinbefore described in (b) apply), without liability on the part of the fiduciary to see to the application of such property. This provision shall not in any way operate to suspend such beneficiary's absolute ownership of such property or to prevent the absolute vesting thereof in such beneficiary.
