Administration
2.1 I hereby appoint LESLIE J. RICHARDSON as Independent Executor of this my
Last Will and Testament. If LESLIE J. RICHARDSON shall fail or refuse to act as
Independent Executor, or, having qualified, shall fail or refuse to serve, then I appoint PHYLLIS
ROEMER and KENNETH RICHARDSON as successor Co-Independent Executors. If either
PHYLLIS ROEMER or KENNETH RICHARDSON shall fail or refuse to act as a Co-

A. To retain any and all property received for as long as such retention
appears advisable.
B. To invest and reinvest in stocks, shares, and obligations of corporations of
unincorporated associations or trust and of investment companies or in any
other kind of personal or real property, notwithstanding the fact that any or
all of the investments made are of a character or size which but for this
expressed authority would not be considered proper for executors.
C. To hold securities or other estate property in the name of my Executor as
Executor or in my Executor's name or in the name of a nominee or
unregistered in a condition where ownership will pass by delivery.
D. To sell for cash or on deferred payments at public or private sale, to
exchange, and to convey any portion of my estate, real persona, or mixed

may determine.
E. To lease any real or personal property of my estate for any purpose of
terms within or extending beyond the term of the settlement of my estate.
F. To manage, control, improve, and repair real and personal property
belonging to my estate.
G. To procure and carry, at the expense of my estate, insurance of the kinds,
forms and amounts deemed advisable by my Executor to protect my estate
and my Executor against any hazard.
H. To comprise, submit to arbitration, release with or without consideration,
or otherwise adjust claims in favor of or against my estate.
I. To enforce any deed of trust, mortgage, or pledge held by my estate and to
purchase at any sale thereunder any property subject to any such
hypothecation.
J. To commence or defend at the expense of my estate any litigation
affecting my estate deemed advisable by my Executor.
K. When distributing my estate, to make such distribution wholly or partly in
kind by allotting and transferring specific securities or other personal or

anyone or more shares at current value in the manner deemed advisable by
my Executor.
