Pennsylvania, declare this to be my Last Will and revoke any Will previously made by me. (.,.j

practicable after my decease.
ITEM II: I give, devise and bequeath the sum ofTen Thousand Dollars ($10,000,00) to
each of my grandchildren, JOHN BRADLEY ZONARICH, JEFFREY ALAN ZONARICH, and
JESSICA ELIZABETH ZONARICH provided that he/she survives me by thirty (30) days. If anyone
of my grandchildren does not so survive me, or dies on or before the thirtieth (30'1 day following my
death then I give hislher share of my estate to hislher Issue, per stirpes, living on the thirty-first (31st)
day following my death. In default of any such then-living Issue, such shares shall be added to the
share or shares for my other grandchildren.
ITEM ill: I give, devise, and bequeath all the rest, residue and remainder of my estate,
wheresoever situated to my daughter, DORIS ANN TORAU ZONARICH.
ITEM IV: No interest in income or principal shall be assignable by or available to anyone
having a claim against a beneficiary before actual payment to the beneficiary.

Page One (1) afSix (6) Pages
residuary estate just as if they were my debts, and none of those taxes shaI1 be charged against any
beneficiary.
ITEM VI: I authorize my Executor:
(a) to retain and to invest in all fOIms of real and personal property, regardless of (i)
any limitations imposed by law on investments by executors or trustees, (ii) any principle or law
concerning delegation of investment responsibility by executors or trustees, or (iii) any principle oflaw
concerning investment diversification;
(b) to compromise claims and to abandon any property which, in my Executor's
opinion, is of little or no value; to borrow from, and to sell property to others, and to pledge property
as security for repayment of any funds borrowed;
(c) to sell at public or private sale, to exchange or to lease for any period of time any
real or personal property, and to give options for sales or leases;
(d) to join in any merger, reorganization, voting-trust plan or other concerted action of
security holders, and to delegate discretionary duties with respect thereto;
(e) to use administrative or other expenses of my estate as income tax or estate tax
deductions and to value my estate for tax purposes by any optional method pennitted by the law in
force when I die, without requiring adjustments between income and principal for any resulting effect
on income or estate taxes; and
(f) to distribute in kind and to allocate specific assets among the beneficiaries in such
proportions as my Executor may think best, so long as the total market value of any beneficiary's share
is not effected by such allocation.

All powers., authorities, and discretion granted by this Will shall be in addition to those
granted by law and shall be exercisable without leave of court.
ITEM VII: I appoint my daughter, DORIS ANN TORAU ZONARICH, Executrix under
this Will. Should my daughter, Doris Ann, fail to qualify or cease to act as Executrix, I appoint my

hereunder shall not be required to enter bond or other security in any Court or jurisdiction in which said
fiduciary may be called upon to act.
ITEM vm: I appoint my daughter, DORIS ANN TORAU ZONARICH, Guardian of the
estate over any property that may pass to any minor children with respect to which property I am
authorized to appoint a guardian and have not otherwise specifically done so.
Such guardian shall have the same management powers as those granted my Executor
may payor apply principal as well as income for the minor's welfare, comfort, support or education,
without court approval, and ifhe/she, in hislher sole discretion, determines that it is impractical to
administer any fund, he/she may deposit such fund in one or more savings accounts in the minor's
name, payable to him or her at age twenty-one (21). The guardian shall have no finther responsibility
for any funds so paid, applied or deposited.
