specified such items, it is my intention that the items in the home of my son, Edward A.
Thomas, which I share, shall to the extent not specifically designated in my instructions
to my Executor, remain as part of the home.
In addition, all items specifically given to my children, should they not
survive me, shall be distributed to his or her issue, per stirpes.
SECOND: Residuary. I give the rest, residue and remainder of my property
to my children, who survive me, to be divided among them equally, per stirpes and not
per capita.
THIRD:
Spendthrift Provision. While in the hands of my executor, and
until actually paid over or delivered to the persons entitled thereto, the interest of
beneficiaries in the income or principal of my estate shall not be subject to assignment,
pledge, attachment, or the claims of creditors.
THIRD:
Powers of Fiduciaries. In addition to the powers conferred by law,
my executor shall have the following powers to be exercised in such executor's absolute

discretion: to retain for distribution in kind, without duty of diversification, all property
owned by me at my death, or to sell all or any part of such property, upon such terms as
my executor deems advisable; to hold any proceeds and other cash uninvested or to
invest in all forms of property, without restriction to so-called "authorized" or "legal"
investments and without regard to diversification; to exchange or lease for any period of
time any real or personal property and to give options for sales, exchanges, and leases;
to exercise all rights of security holders; to compromise any claim or controversy without
court approval; to delegate discretionary powers; to employ investment counsel,
custodians of trust property, brokers, agents, accountants and attorneys and to act
without independent investigation upon their recommendations; and to make
distributions in cash or in kind at current values, in undivided interests or non-pro rata
shares.
FOURTH: Payment of Taxes. All estate, inheritance, and succession taxes,
including interest and penalties, payable with respect to property included in my gross
estate, including any property not forming part of my testamentary estate, shall be paid
from the principal of my residuary estate, at such times and in such manner as my
executor deems advisable, without apportionment or right of reimbursement.
FIFTH: Appointment of Executor.
A. Appointment. I appoint my sons, EDWARD A. THOMAS, as the
executor of this my Will. If my son does not survive me, or is unwilling or unable to act
or continue as my executor, then I appoint my son, MARK A. THOMAS as my executor.
B. Executor's Compensation. Any individual executor serving
hereunder shall be entitled to compensation which is commensurate with his or her
Page 2 of 5

be. For purposes of this Article, a minor shall be any person under the age of 21.
