I, ROBERT L. TUCKER, of New Castle County, Delaware, declare this
to be my Will and I hereby revoke all prior Wills.
ITEM FIRST: TANGIBLE PERSONAL PROPERTY
A. Lifetime Desi.~nation. If I should leave a statement (which is signed
by me or is in my handwriting) expressing my wishes with respect to the distribution of
certain items of my tangible personal property, I direct my Executor to probate such
statement and I give to the persons named therein, who shall survive me, the tangible
personal property indicated therein. In the event of two or more such statements
disposing of the same property, the later shall govern with respect to such property.
B. Testamentary Disposition. I give my tangible personal property not
otherwise disposed of effectively, together with all policies of insurance thereon, to my
wife, MARTHA S. TUCKER, if she survives me by thirty days, otherwise to such of my
children, KEVIN S. TUCKER and SEAN C. TUCKER, who survive me by thirty days,
in substantially equal shares as they shall agree; provided, however, that if any child of
mine fails to survive me by thirty days leaving issue surviving me by thirty days, such
issue shall share, per stirpes, in the distribution of my tangible personal property to the
same extent as would have such deceased child had he survived me by thirty days.
C. Persons under Legal Disability. I direct that my Executor represent
the interest of any beneficiary under a legal disability in the distribution of my tangible
personal property. A receipt for any such property distributed by my Executor in a
manner that my Executor deems to be in the best interest of the beneficiary and the
administration of my estate shall completely discharge my Executor with respect to such
property.
D. Costs of Delivery. I direct that all costs of delivering my tangible
personal property, including costs of packaging, insurance and transportation, shall be
paid as an expense of settling my estate.
ITEM SECOND: RESIDUARY ESTATE
I give and devise the residue of my estate to the Trustee of the Trust
Agreement I entered into April 24, 1995, with myself as Trustee, to be held and
administered in accordance with the provisions of such Trust Agreem6~iGas they~~ay be :,~
in effect at the time of my death. ~~! ~ -r-,o
~ '~~
> ~~
~~
-'
D ~ [
~
I direct that the property passing to such trust be merged with the property
already held therein and that no part of such property shall be considered to be subject to
a separate testamentary trust; and such Trustee shall not be required to file any bond,
with or without surety, or submit any inventory or accounting with respect to such
property.
ITEM THIlZD: POWERS OF EXECUTOR
A. Specific Powers. I authorize my Executor to exercise the specific
powers hereafter enumerated (in addition to those conferred bylaw) in administering my
estate, such powers not being exhausted by the use thereof:
(1) To retain any of my property for such period as it deems to
be in the best interest of my estate.
(2) To sell at public or private sale, exchange for like or unlike
property, lease for terms longer or shorter than the administration of my estate and
otherwise dispose of any property not specifically disposed of hereunder at such price
and on such terms as it shall deem to be proper.
(3) To invest in such stocks, bonds, notes, securities, improved
and unimproved real estate, open- and closed-end investment funds, bank common
funds, life insurance and/or other property, whether real, personal or mixed and whether
or not income producing, as it deems to be proper for my estate, regardless of any rules
requiring diversification or limiting investments to specifically authorized investments
or those which individually meet certain standards.
(4) To purchase or sell property through such brokerage firms as
it deems to be in the best interest of my estate.
(5) To vote any shares of stock either directly or by proxy.
(6) To participate in any proceeding for protecting or liquidating
an interest in any property or for reorganizing a corporation or consolidating or merging
one or more corporations, in either instance accepting new or substituted securities with
different priorities, rights or privileges and paying any assessment or expense incident
thereto.
(7) To make any division or distribution in cash or in kind, or
partly both, and to make reasonable and equitable valuations and apportionments
thereof, and to elect to recognize, for Federal income-tax purposes, any gain or loss that
maybe realized on a distribution in kind.
(8) To rely upon such information in determining the rights of
any person as it, after due diligence, believes to be correct.
(9) To determine whether receipts and disbursements shall be
credited to or charged against income or principal, or partly both.
my estate as security.
litigate any claim.
(10) To borrow from any person and to encumber any property in
(11) To institute, compromise, settle, submit to arbitration or
(12) To employ agents and advisers whose services it deems to
be beneficial to the administration of my estate.
(13) To hold property in the name of a nominee.
(14) To maintain, repair, alter, improve, tear down, insure, lease
for any period, partition, pay taxes on or otherwise deal with any real property or interest
in real property.
(15) To participate fully in the management of any
proprietorship, partnership, or other business enterprise to the same extent that I could
when alive.
(16) To purchase and sell options to purchase any property.
B. Dealing with Interested Parties. I authorize my Executor to enter into
any otherwise-proper transaction with any beneficiary of my estate, the estate of any
such beneficiary, any person acting as Executor hereunder or the fiduciaries of any trust
or estate (even if such fiduciary shall be acting hereunder).
C. Self-dealing. I authorize my Executor to utilize any services offered
by, and to enter into business dealings with, any person acting hereunder if: (i) such
services or business dealings are otherwise proper for the administration of my estate
(other than for the fact that it maybe "self dealing") and (ii) such services or business
dealings are approved by the other person or persons, if any, acting as Executor.
D. Exculpation of Others. No person dealing with my Executor shall be
obliged: (i) to see to the application of any property delivered to my Executor, (ii) to
inquire into the necessity or propriety of my Executor exercising any power, or (iii) to
determine the existence of any fact upon which my Executor's power to act maybe
conditioned.
ITEM FOURTH: TAXES AND ADMINISTRATION EXPENSES
A. Tax Elections. I authorize my Executor to use administration
expenses as deductions for estate-tax purposes or income-tax purposes, and to use
date-of--death values or alternate values for estate-tax purposes.
I authorize my Executor: (i) to file a j oint income-tax return with my
wife for any taxable year or period, (ii) to consent to the splitting of gifts made by me or
by my wife for gift-tax or generation-skipping-transfer-tax purposes and (iii) to pay from
my estate all or any part of the resulting tax liabilities.
B. Payment of Funeral Expenses, Debts, Taxes and Costs of
Administration. I direct that: (i) my funeral expenses (including memorial service and
marker), (ii) my debts (other than those owed jointly with another person), (iii) the costs
of administering my estate, and (iv) all transfer taxes payable with respect to any
property taxable by reason of my death, whether or not payable by my estate or by any
recipient of such property and whether or not such property passes under this Will, shall
be paid, to the extent possible, out of my residuary estate.
I further direct that no tax payable by my Executor shall be apportioned
among or charged against any property passing to any person, and my Executor shall not
seek contribution with respect thereto, provided, however, that I authorize my Executor
to call upon the Trustee of the trust referred to in ITEM SECOND for such funds as my
Executor deems necessary or desirable for the payment of my debts, funeral expenses,
costs of administration, legacies and transfer taxes, having regard for the best interests of
my estate and the beneficiaries of my estate.
In addition, if my wife shall have created a trust that contains provisions
concerning costs of administration and taxes in my estate, I direct my Executor to call
upon the Trustee of such trust for funds for the payment of such costs and taxes to the
extent such funds maybe available under the provisions of such trust.
4
Notwithstanding the foregoing, I direct my Executor not to accept from
the Trustee of any trust referred to above any property that is not includible in my gross
estate for federal estate-tax purposes (or that would not be so includible if it were not
distributed to my Executor). I authorize my Executor to direct the Trustee of such trust
to make any such payments directly.
C. Joint Obli ations. I authorize my Executor to pay any debt owed
jointly with another, with or without seeking contribution therefor, as my Executor
deems in the best interest of my estate.
D. Equitable Adjustments. I authorize my Executor not to seek
contribution from or adjust the interest of any person affected by any decision of my
Executor or by operation of any law.
ITEM FIFTH: POWERS OF APPOINTMENT
I declare that I do not intend to exercise any power of appointment that I
may have at the time of my death, and nothing in this Will is to be considered an
exercise of any such power, in whole or in part.
ITEM SIXTH: DEFINITIONS

number required by the context in which they are used. In addition:

C. An adopted person shall, for all purposes, be deemed to be a natural
child of the adopting person but only if legally adopted while under the age of eighteen
(18).
D. In determining an individual's issue, "per stirpes," the particular issue
and their interests shall be determined according to the principle of representation, with
the children of that individual being taken to be the heads of the respective stocks of

governmental body or other entity.
F. "Executor" includes the executor or administrator of a decedent's

tax statute enacted hereafter, as in effect on the date of application.
I. "Transfer taxes" means all applicable federal estate taxes (except
additional estate taxes imposed under Section 2032A of the Code), state inheritance or
estate taxes, and federal and state generation-skipping transfer taxes imposed on any
direct skip of which I am, or am deemed to be, the transferor, and any interest and

administering my estate, I direct that my wife shall be deemed to have survived me,
notwithstanding any statute or rule of law to the contrary.

following, in the order listed, as shall be willing and able to serve:

B. Bond. I direct that no person named in this ITEM be required to give
bond before receiving letters testamentary as my Executor.
C. Ancillary Administration. If ancillary administration of any part of
my estate is required, I direct my Executor to appoint either itself or such other person or
persons as it may choose. Such representative shall have all rights, powers and duties
granted to my Executor and the costs of such ancillary administration shall be paid out
