I, JOSEPH P. DIMAGGIO, of the City of Hollywood, County of Broward and State of Florida, being of sound and disposing mind and memory do hereby make, publish and declare this to be my Last Will and Testament.(Will of Joe DiMaggio) (Preamble)

FIRST:  I revoke all wills and codicils that I have previously made. (Will of David Packard) (REVOCATORY CLAUSE)

SECOND: I direct my Executor, hereinafter named, to pay all of my just debts, funeral expenses and testamentary charges as soon after my death as can conveniently be done. (Will of Marilyn Monroe) (DEBTS CLAUSE).

THIRD: I give and bequeath to BERNICE MIRACLE, should she survive me, the sum of $10,000.00. I give and bequeath to MAY REIS, should she survive me, the sum of $10,000.00. I give and bequeath to NORMAN and HEDDA ROSTEN, or to the survivor of them, or if they should both predecease me, then to their daughter, PATRICIA ROSTEN, the sum of $5,000.00, it being my wish that such sum be used for the education of PATRICIA ROSTEN (Will of Marilyn Monroe) (GENERAL DISPOSITION).

FOURTH: My "residuary estate" is the balance of my estate, whether real or personal, and wherever located (including lapsed legacies and devises). My residuary estate shall be disposed of as provided in this Article.

(A) If my wife, LEONA M. HELMSLEY, survives me, I give my residuary estate to her (Will of Harry Helmsley) (RESIDUARY DISPOSITION).

(B) If my wife does not survive me, I give my residuary estate to the trustees of THE HARRY AND LEONA HELMSLEY CHARITABLE TRUST, and I direct the trustees of THE HARRY AND LEONA HELMSLEY CHARITABLE TRUST to add the same to the principal of THE HARRY AND LEONA HELMSLEY CHARITABLE TRUST and dispose of the same for charitable purposes (Will of Harry Helmsley) (RESIDUARY DISPOSITION).

(C) I give to the Trustee hereinafter named, IN TRUST, for the benefit of my younger daughters, my estate for each, to be held, administered and distributed as a separate trust for each child as follows:

A. So long as my child is living and is under age twenty-one (21), the Trustee shall pay to or apply for her benefit, as much of the net income and principal of the Trust as the Trustee, in the Trustee's absolute discretion, shall deem necessary for her proper support, health, maintenance and education, after taking into consideration, to the extent the Trustee shall deem advisable, any other income or resources of my child, known to the Trustee. Any net income not distributed shall be accumulated and added to principal (Will of Jerry Garcia).

B. When the child attains the age of twenty-one (21), the trust share allocated on account of such child shall thereupon be distributed free of trust to that child (Will of Jerry Garcia).

FIFTH: A. I appoint JOHN BRANCA, JOHN McCLAIN and BARRY SIEGEL as co-Executors of this Will. In the event of any of their deaths, resignations, inability, failure or refusal to service or continue to serve as co-Executor, the other shall serve and no replacement need be named. The co-Executors serving at any time after my death may name one or more replacements to serve in the event that none of the three named individuals is willing or able to serve at any time (Will of Michael Jackson) (APPOINTMENT OF EXECUTOR).

B. I hereby give to my Executors, full power and authority at any time or times to sell, lease, mortgage, pledge, exchange or otherwise dispose of the property, whether real or personal comprising my estate, upon such terms as my Executors shall deem best, to continue any business enterprises, to purchase assets from my estate, to continue in force and shall be administered as a unit and that my domiciliary Executors shall supervise and control, so far as permissible by local law, any ancillary administration proceedings deemed necessary in the settlement of my estate (Will of Michael Jackson) (POWERS OF EXECUTOR CLAUSE).

SIXTH: I direct that no bond shall be required of any Executor or Co—Executor as a condition to qualifying to serve hereunder, whether acting jointly or alone (Will of Francis Albert Sinatra) (WAIVER OF BOND CLAUSE).

SEVENTH: If any beneficiary under this Will and I shall die simultaneously or in such circumstances as to render it difficult or impossible to determine who predeceased the other, it shall conclusively be presumed for the purposes of this Will that I survived (Will of Richard Nixon) (SIMULTANEOUS DEATH CLAUSE).

EIGHTH: I intend not to make any provision herein for the benefit of any child or other descendant of mine, whether born before or after the date of this will, except as herein set forth (Will of Linda McCartney) (DISINHERITANCE OF ISSUE/FAMILY CLAUSE).

NINTH: I direct that all estate, inheritance and other death taxes (including any interest and penalties thereon) imposed by any jurisdiction whatsoever by reason of my death upon or with respect to any property includable in my estate for the purposes of any such taxes, or upon or with respect to any person receiving any such property, whether such property shall pass under or outside, or shall have passed outside, the provisions of this Will, except for additional estate taxes imposed by Section 4980(A)(d) of the Code and generation-skipping transfer taxes imposed under Section 13 of the Code ("GST taxes") which may be payable by reason of my death, shall be paid, without apportionment, from the principal of my residuary estate. (Will of Richard Nixon) (TAX CLAUSE).
