publish and declare this to be my Last Will and Testament, hereby revoking all Wills and
Codicils heretofore made by me.

soon as convenient after my decease. Furthermore, I direct that all state, inheritance, succession
and other death taxes imposed or payable by reason of my death and interest and penalties
thereon with respect to all property composing of my gross estate for death tax purposes, whether
or not such property passes under this Will, shall be paid by the Executrices from my estate, and
that none of the aforesaid taxes shall be prorated among those persons or entities named herein or
otherwise beneficiaries hereunder.
2. My Executrices may, at their discretion, compromise claims, borrow money, retain
property for such length of time as they may deem proper; lease and sell property for such prices,
on such terms, at public or private sales, as they may deem proper; and invest estate property and
income without restriction to legal investments unless otherwise provided hereunder.

3. I authorize and empower my Executrices to sell any realty and/or personalty owned by
me at my death and not specifically devised or bequeathed herein, at public or private sale or
sales and to give good and sufficient deeds and/or bills of sale therefore, in fee simple, as I could
do if living. My Executrices are authorized and empowered to engage in any business in which I
may be engaged at my death, for such period of time after my death as seems expedient to said
Executrices.
4. I give, devise and bequeath all of my estate of every nature and wherever situate as
follows:

b. 45% to DEBORAH A. BEHRENS;

d. 5% to CAROL STEWART.
5. I nominate and appoint DEBORAH A. BEHRENS and BARBARA A. FAIR to be the

8. No beneficiary may assign, anticipate or pledge his or her interest in any income or
principal held or distributable hereunder, and no beneficiary's creditors may levy, attach or
otherwise reach any such interest.
