I order and direct my personal representative hereinafter named to pay all of my just debts,
funeral expenses and expenses involved or connected with the administration of my estate as soon
after my death as is reasonably possible. However,my personal representative need not accelerate
and pay those unmatured obligations which, in his, her or its opinion, it might be proper and more
advantageous to retain or renew and pay as they become due and payable. If I do not own a burial
plot or a grave marker at the time of my death,I authorize my personal representative,in his,her or
its sole discretion,to purchase a burial plot and to erect a suitable grave marker at my grave, and to
expend sums from my estate for this purpose.

I give, devise and bequeath the rest, residue and remainder of my estate, together with all
insurance proceeds thereon of whatever nature and wheresoever situate as follows:
A. SEVENTY-FIVE PERCENT(75%)of my estate to my daughter,ALYSSA

hereunder,provided such property remains productive.

under agreements and pay assessments; and generally to exercise all rights of
investors, including but not limited to, the voting of shares.
(c) To manage, operate,repair,improve,mortgage or lease on any terms any real estate
held or owned by my estate.
(d) To operate any business that I may own at my death.
(e) To invest any funds of my estate in any stocks, bonds, notes or other securities or
property, real or personal, without regard to the principle of diversification or any
other statute or general rule of law in his, her or its absolute discretion, it being my
intention to give mypersonal representative the broadest investment powers possible,
providing such investments do not unnecessarilyprevent the prompt settlement of my
estate.
(f) To sell or otherwise dispose of any property,real or personal,tangible or intangible,
at any time forming a part of my estate in any manner and on such terms and
conditions as my personal representative shall see fit in his, her, or its absolute
