ITEM V: In the event any of my said beneficiaries shall not have reached the age of
twenty-three (23) years, I give, devise and bequeath that beneficiary's share of my estate, to my
Trustee, hereinafter designated, IN TF(UST, for the benefit of said beneficiary to be
administered as follows.
a. To pay the net income from said trust to such beneficiary on a quarterly basis or
more often, at the sole discretion of my Trustee.
b. To pay so much of the principal as is deemed necessary for medical expenses,
support, and other items of necessity of my beneficiary at the sole discretion of my Trustee.
c. The amount to be paid from principal for the benefit of my beneficiary shall be
determined from time to time by the need of my beneficiary, and the amounts and times of said
payments shall be determined by such need. The said payments may be made by the Trustee
directly to my beneficiary or may be made in the discretion of the Trustee, directly to the person
having the custody and care of my beneficiary or may be made by the Trustee directly to any
institution entitled to such payment by reason of services rendered or to be rendered to said
beneficiary. In making the aforesaid paym.ents, the Trustee shall give primary consideration to
the individual needs of my beneficiary and to other sources of income and funds, such as
insurance proceeds, etc., available for the support of my beneficiary.
d. To pay the accumulated income and principal to my beneficiary when my
beneficiary attains the age of twenty-three (23) years.
e. Should my beneficiary under the terms of this trust not have reached the age of
twenty-three (23) years, he or she shall be considered a minor for purposes of this trust.
f. Should my beneficiary die before reaching the age of twenty-three (23) years, the
remaining principal and accumulated income of the trust shall be paid:
(1) To such one or more persons or organization, excepting my beneficiary's
estate, his or her creditors, or the creditors of his or her estate, under such terms as my
beneficiary shall have appointed by Will.
(2) In default of appointment by Will as aforesaid, or insofar as it is not
effectual, to my beneficiary's then living issue,per stirpes.
(3) In default of such issue, to my then living issue, per stirpes, with any
portion thus accruing to a child for whom principal is then held in trust thereunder to be added
and thereafter treated as a part of such principal.
L
ITEM VI: Should the principal of any trust herein provided for, be or become too
small in the Trustee's discretion so as to make establishment or continuance of the trust
inadvisable, the Trustee or my personal representative may make immediate distribution of the
then-remaining principal and any accumulated or undistributed income outright to the person or
persons and in the proportion they are then entitled to receive income. If any such person is then
a minor, distribution may be made to the guardian of the person of such minor. Upon such
termination, the rights of all persons who might otherwise have an interest as succeeding income
beneficiaries or in remainder shall cease.
ITEM VII: In addition to the power conferred upon my fiduciaries previously in this
instrument, and by law, I authorize all fiduciaries without any order of court and in their sole
discretion to:
a. Retain any property and invest and reinvest any property, including by way of
illustration and not by way of limitation, common stocks up to one hundred (100%) percent of
corpus, stock of any fiduciary or parent corporation, any common or diversified trust funds
maintained by any fiduciary or affiliated, related subsidiary or parent corporations, and any form
of life insurance, except in any marital trust, annuity or endowment policies; and in so doing, any
fiduciary may act without restriction to so-called legal investments and without responsibility for
diversification. Any fiduciary may also keep reasonable amounts of cash in bank uninvested.
b. Sell at public or private sale, for cash or credit, with or without security, and
exchange or partition property and give options for sales or exchanges.
c. Borrow and lend money from and to any person andlor corporation, including any
fiduciary, and mortgage or pledge any property.
d. Repair, alter, improve or lease for a period of time, any property and give options
for leases.
e. Vote in person or by proxy securities held by it and in such connection to delegate
its discretionary powers.
£ Subscribe for stocks, bonds, or other investments; exercise any stock option or
similar rights; join in any plan of lease, mortgage, merger, consolidation, reorganization,
foreclosure or voting trust and private securities thereunder, and generally exercise all the rights
of security holders of any corporation.
g. Purchase investments at premiums and charge premiums to income or principal or
partly to each.
3
h. So that title may pass by delivery, any fiduciary may register securities in the
name of a nominee as designated by any corporate fiduciary or in the name of such other
nominee as may be convenient.
i. Compromise claims by or against my estate or trust including, without limitation,
any questions relating to ta�ces or to any policy of life insurance. However, my fiduciaries need
not institute litigation to collect on any policy unless they are reasonably indemnified for all
costs, counsel fees and other expenses of such litigation.
j. Retain and pay agent, employees, accountant and counsel (including investment
counsel) for advice and other professional services.
k. Make distribution in cash or in.kind or partly in each.
1. Determine whether any stock dividend, stock split, extraordinary dividend or
other item or receipt or expenditure shall be allocated to income or principal or partly to
principal. My fiduciaries are relieved of all liability in making such allocations, and distribution
shall be made without their being required to file an account for confirmation provided that these
powers shall not be exercised with respect to any marital deduction trust.
m. Hold, manage, invest and account for separate trusts either as separate funds or in
one or more consolidated funds in which each trust shall own an undivided interest.
n. Add to the principal of any trust created thereunder, any property received from
any person by Deed, Will or in any other manner.
o. I hereby authorize my Executrix and Trustee to continue any business or
businesses in which I may be interested at the time of my death, whether or not said business is
conducted by me at the time of my death, inaividually, as a partnership, or through a corporation
wholly owned or controlled by me, with full authority to sell, settle and discontinue any of them,
at such time or times and upon such terms or conditions which, in the judgment of my Executrix
and Trustee, are for the best interests of my estate or any trust created by my Will.
p. Each fiduciary serving thereunder shall have the right from time to time, by
instrument in writing, to relinquish, in whole or in part, any power given to him by law or under
the provisions of this Will, provided that such relinquishment shall not bind his successors unless
similarly relinquished in writing by them.
ITEM VIII: I hereby authorize and empower my Executrix hereinafter named to sell
all of the real property and any or all of the personal property not specifically bequeathed herein,
which I may own or to which I am entitled at the time of my death, in the sole discretion of my
Executrix at private or public sale, without an Order of Court, at such time or times and upon
4
such terms as the said Executrix shall deem proper for the best interests of my estate or of my
beneficiaries, thereby converting the same into cash. I further authorize and empower my said
Executrix to execute, acknowledge and deliver all proper writings and deeds of conveyance and
transfer thereof.
ITEM IX: All references herein to a child of mine, or to the children or issue of my
child, shall include any children born after the date of this Will and any persons lawfully adopted
by me and their issue.

the age of twenty-three (23) years.

created by this, my Last Will. Should JENNIFER E. SEIPP fail to qualify or cease to act as
Trustee, I appoint my friend and attorney, STEVE C. NICHOLAS, Trustee of this, my Last
Will. I direct that my Trustee, at her discretion, may retain the services of a Corporate Trustee
for the purpose of assisting them in the administration of any trust herein created.
ITEM XII: The principal and income of any trusts created thereunder shall be free
from anticipation, assignment, pledge or obligation of any beneficiaries and shall not be subject
to any execution or attachment or to voluntary or involuntary alienation.
ITEM XIII: I appoint my daughter, JENNIFER E. SEIPP, Executrix of this, my Last
Will. Should JENNIFER E. SEIPP fail to qualify or cease to act as Executrix, I appoint my
friend and attorney, STEVE C. NICHOLAS, Executor of this, my Last Will.
ITEM XIV: I direct that my Executrix or Trustee appointed herein, or their successors,
shall not be required to give bond for the faithful performance of their duties in any jurisdiction.
