LAST WILL and TESTAMENT
of
Elton B. Lahar
I, Elton B. Lahar, a resident of Contra Costa County, State of California, declare that this
is my Will.
FIRST. I revoke all Wills and Codicils that I have previously made.
SECOND. I direct that my family complete the arrangements for my funeral.
THIRD. Except as otherwise provided in this Will, I have intentionally and with full
knowledge of the consequences omitted to provide for my heirs.
FOURTH. If any beneficiary under this Will or any other person claiming to be entitled
to a portion of my estate in any manner, directly or indirectly, contests or attacks this Will or any
of its provisions, any share or interest of that contesting individual granted by this Will is revoked
and, along with any other interest claimed (by the laws of succession or otherwise), shall pass instead
as if that contesting individual had predeceased me without issue.
FIFTH. I have not entered into either a contract to make Wills or a contract not to
revoke Wills. If any part of this Will is held to be void, invalid, or inoperative, I direct that such
voidness, invalidity, or inoperativeness shall not affect any other part of this Will, and that the
remainder of this Will shall be carried into effect as though such part had not been contained
herein.
As used in this Will, the masculine, feminine, or neuter gender, and the singular or plural
number shall each be deemed to include the others whenever the context so indicates.
SIXTH. I direct that all inheritance, estate, or other death taxes that may by reason of
my death be attributable to my probate estate or any portion of it, including any property received
by any person as a family allowance or homestead, shall be paid by my Executor out of the residue
of my estate disposed of by this Will, without adjustment among the residuary beneficiaries, and
shall not be charged against or collected from any beneficiary of my probate estate.
(/1"
._ . ...." '-"V".,-". I
SEVENTH. I am married to Mary E. Lahar and any reference in this Will to my "spouse"
is to her. I have three children, Jeffrey Lahar, Kimberly Jane Lahar, and Craig Elton Lahar, all
of whom are adults. I have no children who died leaving issue surviving.
The term "issue" refers to lawful lineal descendants of all degrees; the terms "issue" and
"children" include adopted persons.
EIGHTH. I nominate Mary E. Lahar as Executor of this Will, to serve without bond. If
she fails to qualify or ceases to act, I nominate Kimberly Jane Lahar, to serve as Executor, without
bond. If she, too, fails to qualify or ceases to act, I nominate Craig Elton Lahar, to serve as
Executor, without bond.
I authorize my Executor to sell, with or without notice, at either public or private sale, and
to mortgage, lease, and convey all or part of my estate, both real and personal property, at such
times and on such terms and conditions as may be deemed best, subject only to such confirmation
of court as may be required by law, and within the representative's discretion, to settle, compromise,
and adjust any and all claims either in person or by proxy as to all stocks or other securities in my
estate, to continue to completion any investment or undertaking of mine pending, but not completed,
at the time of my death, and, in that connection, to borrow and pledge assets of the estate to secure
any such borrowings.
I further authorize my Executor either to continue the operation of any business belonging
to me at my death for such time and in such manner as my Executor may deem advisable for the
best interests of my estate, or to sell or liquidate the business at such time and on such terms as my
Executor may deem advisable for the best interests of my estate. Any such operation, sale, or
liquidation by my Executor, in good faith, shall be at the risk of my estate and without liability on
the part of my Executor for any resulting losses.
My estate shall be administered under the California Independent Administration of Estates
Act.
NINTH. The following are the facts relating to the Trust into which the residue of this
estate will be poured over or transferred to at the end of probate of this estate:
a. Name of Trust: ELTON B. LAHAR AND MARY E. LAHAR 1997 TRUST.
b. Name of Trustee of said Trust at the date of signing this Will: Elton B. Lahar.
c. Date of establishment of said Trust: November dr~, 1997.

Will of Elton B. Lahar
Page 2
TENTH. I give all of my estate, real and personal, wherever situated, IN TRUST, to the
Trustee, or any successor Trustee, appointed in the Trust. Said estate shall be added to,
administered, and distributed as a part of that Trust, according to the terms of said Trust and any
amendments made thereto prior to my death. This paragraph shall not create, or be construed as
creating, a separate or testamentary trust of the assets governed by this paragraph, nor shall this
paragraph subject the existing Trust or the property added to it by this Will to the jurisdiction of the
probate court or to the laws relating to testamentary trusts.
If the disposition in the preceding paragraph is not operative or is invalid for any reason, or
if the Trust hereinabove referred to fails or has been revoked, then I hereby incorporate herein by
this reference the terms of said Trust on the date of execution of this Will, without giving effect to
any amendments made subsequently, and I give all of my estate, IN TRUST, to the Trustee or
successor Trustee named in said Trust as Trustee, to be held, administered, and distributed as
therein provided.
I subscribe my name to this Will this :;)..,,\ .st}l' day of November,
California.
