TAX PROVISIONS
VI. Death Taxes: All federal, state and other death taxes payable because of my
death on the property forming my gross estate for tax purposes, whether or not it passes under
this Will, shall be paid out of the principal of my probate estate so that the burden thereof falls
on my residuary estate and none of those taxes shall be charged against the portion of the trust
which my~ executor elects to qualify for the marital deduction or to any beneficiary of any
outside fund.
VII. Tax Options: I direct my executor to exercise any options available in
determining and paying death taxes in my estate in such a way as reasonably may be expected
to achieve the greatest overall tax savings for my family, without regard to any effect upon the
size of the marital deduction trust and without requiring adjustments between income and
principal.
ADMINISTRATIVE PROVISIONS
VIII. Rights in Income: Any trust hereunder shall be entitled to a proportionate
share of income accruing from the event as of which it is to be set apart (for example, the date
of my death in the case of the marital deduction trust), and, pending actual division, distribu-
tions of income and principal may be made directly to a trust or, subject to the terms thereof,
to the ber#eficiaries of the trust. Except in the case of the marital deduction trust, all income
undistributed at a beneficiary's death shall be treated as if it had accrued thereafter.
I7~. Protective Provision: No beneficiary may sell, give or otherwise transfer his
or her interest in income or principal hereunder. No person having a claim against a benefi-
ciary may reach any such interest before actual payment to the beneficiary.
X. Management Provisions: I authorize my executor and my trustee:
A. To retain any investments I own at my death and to invest in all forms of real
and personal property, without being confined to investments authorized by a statutory list,
without being required to diversify and regardless of any principle of law limiting delegation
of investrment responsibility by executors or trustees;
B. To compromise claims and to abandon any property which, in my executor's or
my trustet~'s opinion, is of little or no value;

action of security holders, and to delegate discretionary duties with respect thereto;

otherwise''specifically stated. All powers, authorities, and discretion granted by this Will shall
be in addition to those granted by law and shall be exercisable without court authorization.
