`
`OF
`
`RAYMOND L. NORBURY, JR.
`
`THE STATE OF TEXAS §
`
`COUNTY OF DALLAS §
`
`KNOW ALL MEN BY THESE PRESENTS:
`
`THAT I, Raymond L. Norbury, Jr., of Dallas County, Texas, being of good health
`
`and of sound mind and disposing memory and over the age of eighteen (18) years, do
`
`hereby make this my Last Will and Testament, hereby revoking all Wills, Testaments and
`
`Codicils heretofore made by me.
`
`PART 1
`
`Debts and Taxes; Executor and Administration Expense Provisions
`
`1.1 (cid:9)
`
`Payment of Debts and Taxes. I direct that all my legally enforceable debts,
`
`funeral expenses, costs and expenses of the administration of my estate, and Federal
`
`Estate and State Inheritance Taxes becoming payable because of my death, including
`
`the portion of any such taxes as is attributable to the proceeds of policies of insurance on
`
`my life receivable by a beneficiary other than my Executor, be paid out of my Residue,
`
`except that any debts which are payable in installments or which are not due until at least
`
`one year from the date of my death need not be paid during the administration of my
`
`estate, but may, if the terms of such debts permit, be continued and paid according to
`
`their tenor; provided, however that my debts from borrowing the cash surrender value of
`
`any life insurance policy shall be paid from the proceeds of the respective policy, and my
`
`Residue shall not be burdened with such indebtedness. Interest and penalties concerning
`
`any tax shall be paid and charged in the same manner as the tax. My Executor is
`
`authorized to make whatever arrangements he deems most expedient with respect to
`
`settlement of debts, claims, expenses and taxes owing by me and my estate.
`
`In the event that if any property or interest in property passing under this Will, by
`
`operation of law, or otherwise by reason of my death, (other than as a part of my residuary
`
`estate), shall be encumbered by a mortgage or lien, or shall be pledged to secure any

`

`obligation (whether the property or interest in property so encumbered or pledged shall
`
`be owned by me jointly or individually), it is my intention that such indebtedness shall not
`
`be charged to or paid from my estate, but that the devisee, legatee, joint owner taking by
`
`survivorship or beneficiary receiving such property or interest in property, shall take it
`
`subject to all encumbrances existing at the time of my death.
`
`1.2 (cid:9)
`
`Appointment. I hereby appoint Jeffrey Dickson, a/k/a Jeff Dickson, and his
`
`wife, Rowena Dickson, both currently of Plano, Texas, as my Independent Co-Executors,
`
`to serve jointly.
`
`1.3 (cid:9)
`
`Successors. If one or both of Jeff and Rowena Dickson cease, fail, or refuse
`
`to serve as Independent Co-Executors hereunder, then neither of them shall serve (or
`
`continue to serve) alone as an Executor. In such event, I then appoint the first one (1) or
`
`two (2) of the following persons, in the order listed, who do not cease, fail, or refuse to
`
`serve as Independent Co-Executors:
`
`Wendy A. (Cavazos) Melendez, currently of Frisco, Texas;
`
`Mrs. John W. (Mary Jane) Baker, currently of Red Oak, Texas;
`
`Benito ("Benny") Cavazos, Jr., currently of Carrollton, Texas; and
`
`John W. Baker, currently of Red Oak, Texas.
`
`It is my intent that there be two (2) successor Independent Co-Executors serving
`
`simultaneously hereunder as long as at least two (2) of the individuals named in this
`
`Section 1.3 are eligible and willing to serve. If at any time only one (1) of the individual
`
`Independent Co-Executors originally designated or named herein as a successor is
`
`eligible and is willing to serve as an Independent Co-Executor, then that personal shall
`
`serve as sole Independent Executor hereunder.
`
`My original Co-Executors and/or any successor Co-Executor(s) serving hereunder
`
`are hereafter referred to herein as my Executor.
`
`1.4 (cid:9)
`
`Partitions. My Executor shall have the power to make all partitions and
`
`divisions contemplated by this Will. The actual partitions and divisions made by my
`
`Executor shall be binding and conclusive upon all interested parties. Any decisions as to
`
`discrepancies or items that are covered by this Will shall be made by my Executor and

`

`

`my Executor's decision in this regard shall be binding on all interested parties. I authorize
`
`my Executor to distribute my estate in whole or in part at such time or times as my
`
`Executor deems advisable, and my Executor is authorized to make such distribution in
`
`cash or in kind, or partly in cash and partly in kind. My Executor is further authorized to
`
`distribute my estate subject to any and all indebtedness incurred by me or by my
`
`Executor, which in the opinion of my Executor need not first be paid, and subject to any
`
`or all mortgages, deeds of trust or other liens created by me or by my Executor.
`
`1.5 (cid:9)
`
`1.6 (cid:9)
`
`Bond. No Executor shall be required to furnish bond.
`
`Powers. In addition to the powers given to my Executor by law, I grant to
`
`my Executor all the powers given to Executors under the Texas Estates Code and to
`
`Trustees under the Texas Trust Code as they now exist or are hereafter amended to
`
`expand the powers given to Executors and Trustees, such powers to be exercised without
`
`court supervision or control. My Executor shall specifically have the power to sell any
`
`and all property of my estate. My Executor shall have the power to obtain, access, use,
`
`control and dispose of any of my electronic communications, information and digital
`
`assets used or owned by me from any custodian, as those terms are defined and
`
`regulated in Chapter 2001 of the Texas Estates Code as amended. My executor shall
`
`have full power and authority to make any and all available estate, inheritance and income
`
`tax elections, including specifically (i) the date which should be selected for the valuation
`
`of property in my gross estate for federal and state estate and inheritance tax purposes,
`
`and (ii) whether a deduction shall be taken as an income tax deduction or an estate tax
`
`deduction, and my Executor's decisions with respect to such matters shall be binding and
`
`conclusive upon all concerned. No compensating adjustments between income or
`
`principal or in the amount of any bequest or devise hereunder shall be made as a result
`
`of any such decision. At all times in which there are two (2) persons acting as successor
`
`Co-Executors, my Co-Executors must act unanimously on any matter dealing with my
`
`estate and no Co-Executor may act alone. If my Co-Executors are unable to agree on
`
`any material matter involving my estate, the attorney representing the estate shall decide

`

`

`any issue on which my Co-Executors cannot agree, and the estate attorney's decision
`
`shall be binding on everyone.
`
`1.7 (cid:9)
`
`Executor to Act Free of Court. I direct that no other action shall be had in
`
`the Probate Court in relation to the settlement of my estate other than the probating and
`
`recording of my Will and the return of an inventory, appraisement and list of claims of my
`
`estate, if required by law.
`
`1.8 (cid:9)
`
`Funeral Arrangements. I have prepared a separate letter to my Executor
`
`regarding my desires as to funeral, burial, and marker arrangements; the original of such
`
`letter is stored in the same location as the original of this Will, although I anticipate having
`
`furnished a copy of said letter, with this Will, to my Executor. I request that all such
`
`instructions be followed by my Executor to the extent feasible.
`
`1.9 (cid:9)
`
`No-Contest and Forfeiture Provision. If any person shall contest the probate
`
`or validity of this Will or any provision thereof, or shall institute or join in (except as a party
`
`defendant) any proceeding to contest the validity of this Will or to prevent any provision
`
`hereof from being carried out in accordance with its terms (regardless of whether or not
`
`such proceedings are instituted in good faith and with probable cause), then all benefits
`
`provided for such person, persons, or parties herein are revoked and such benefits shall
`
`pass to the residuary beneficiaries of this Will or by Codicil (other than such beneficiary,
`
`if applicable) in the proportion that the share of each such residuary beneficiary bears to
`
`the aggregate of the effective shares of the residuary. If all of such residuary beneficiaries
`
`join in such contest or proceedings, then such benefits shall pass to those persons (other
`
`than the persons joining in such contest) who are living at my death and who would have
`
`been my distributes had I died intestate a resident of the State of Texas and had the
`
`person or persons contesting my Will died immediately before me. Each benefit conferred
`
`herein is made on the condition precedent that the beneficiary shall accept and agree to
`
`all of the provisions of this Will, and the provisions of this Section 1.9 are an essential part
`
`of each and every benefit.
`
`1.10 Compensation of Initial Co-Executors. If Jeff Dickson and his wife Rowena
`
`Dickson are serving as Co-Executors, they shall be entitled to a total joint fee of one

`hundred fifty thousand dollars ($150,000), which fee is to include any costs incurred for
`
`travel and other out-of-pocket administration expenses (but shall be exclusive of all legal
`
`and accounting fees incurred on behalf of my estate). Such fee shall be paid to them in
`
`two equal installments of seventy-five thousand dollars ($75,000) upon the completion of
`
`each of the following two groups of duties:
`
`a.
`
`First Installment. On or after the date by which both of the following

`
`any of the persons named in Paragraph 1.3 are serving as a Co-Executor (whether with
`
`one of the Initial Co-Executors or with another person named in Paragraph 1.3), each
`
`such person shall be entitled to compensation in the same proportions and amounts, and
`
`upon the completion of the same duties described in Paragraph 1.10 a. and b. above, as
`
`the Initial Co-Executors would have been entitled. Any costs incurred for travel and other
`
`out-of-pocket administration expenses (exclusive of all legal and accounting fees incurred
`
`on behalf of my estate) shall be the responsibility of such person, just as such costs would
`
`have been the responsibility of the Initial Co-Executor(s).
`
`1.12 Corporate Executors. For its services as Executor hereunder, if one does
`
`so serve, any corporate executor shall be entitled to a reasonable fee, not to exceed its

`

`1.13 Liquidation of Certain Tangible Personal Property. I direct my Executor to
`
`liquidate, and to include in the residue of my estate the proceeds of such liquidations, the
`
`following:

`a.
`
`All collectible gold coins and gold bullion, and any gold band wedding
`
`ring(s) owned by me at the date of my death. I direct that my Executor obtain offers
`
`from two or more numismatic coin auctioneers, coin dealers, and/or jewelry
`
`dealers, so as to obtain the highest available liquidation offers.
`
`b.
`
`Any and all other tangible personal property which is not included in
`
`the dispositions set forth in Part 2, or is not wanted by the designated beneficiary
`
`of any items of tangible personal property for which specific designation is made.
`
`1.14 Intangible Personal Property. My Executor is directed to liquidate all
`
`intangible financial assets, including but not limited to, insurance policies on my life,
`
`annuities, retirement accounts, securities accounts, and all other financial assets.
`
`PART 2
`
`Dispositions
`
`2.1 (cid:9)
`
`Governing Law. It is my intention that the dispositions set forth in Section
`
`2.2 below be treated as specific bequests and devises, within the meaning of Section
`
`355.109 of the Texas Estates Code ("TEC"), and that the disposition of the residue of my
`
`estate be governed by Section 2.3 below. The bequests and devises of specifically-
`
`described personal and real property in Section 2.2 hereof shall be treated as specific
`
`bequests and devises under TEC Section 355.109(a)(6) and (7). The cash bequests
`
`enumerated in Section 2.2 hereof shall be treated as general bequests under TEC
`
`Section 355.109(a)(4).
`
`2.2 (cid:9)
`
`Bequests to Specific Beneficiaries. To the individuals and institutions listed
`
`below, I give, devise and bequeath the real property, tangible personal property, and cash
`
`as described. In addition to listing specific dispositions below, I may have tagged specific
`
`items of my tangible personal property by some type of label with the intended recipient's
`
`name thereon, so as to assist my Executor and to clarify the intended recipient. The use
`
`of labels, if done, is not intended to contradict any of the dispositions listed below, but

`

`rather to clarify the items of property intended, where there may be some doubt or
`
`confusion. In any instance where there is no doubt as to the identity of an item in question,
`
`but there is a conflict between the provisions of this Will and the label affixed thereto, the
`
`provisions of this Will shall prevail. If any of the individuals named below shall fail to
`
`survive me, the specific bequest(s) to them shall lapse. Further, if my Executor is unable
`
`to satisfy all of the cash bequests to individuals set forth in this Section 2.2 with the net
`
`assets of my estate, the amount of the cash bequest to each individual shall be
`
`proportionately reduced or abated. Cash bequests to all charitable organizations shall be
`
`reduced or abated only after the full abatement of cash bequests to individuals.

`
`twenty-five (25) years, I give $100,000 in cash to him. If he has survived me, but has not
`
`reached the age of 25 years at the time of my death, such bequest shall instead be paid
`
`over to Benito (Benny) Cavazos, Jr. (his father) to serve as Custodian for his benefit under
`
`the Uniform Transfers to Minors Act in effect in the state of the Custodian's residence.
`
`Such funds shall be held by such Custodian until such beneficiary has reached the age
`
`of 25 years, provided, however, that such funds may be expended, all or in part, for any
`
`college expenses which such beneficiary may incur prior to attaining the age of 25 years.
`
`No bond or other security shall be required of such Custodian. Any other property given
`
`to such person pursuant to other provisions of this Will shall also be held by such
`
`Custodian in the same manner and for the same purposes as set out in this subparagraph
`
`2.2.18. In the event that the Custodian named in this subparagraph is deceased or for
`
`any other reason is unable to serve as Custodian, then I appoint Veronica Cavazos (his
`
`mother) as successor or substitute Custodian.
`
`2.2.19 Jafar (Jeff) Sahebi. To Jafar (Jeff) Sahebi, if he survives me, the sum of
`
`$200,000 in cash.
`
`2.2.20 Mark M. Caputo. To Mark M. Caputo, if he survives me, the sum of $500,000
`
`in cash.

`
`Miscellaneous
`
`3.1 (cid:9)
`
`Definition of Survive. For the purposes of this Will, a person shall not be
`
`regarded as surviving me if such person has predeceased me or unless such person

`survives me by thirty (30) days or more.
`
`3.2 (cid:9)
`
`Beneficiaries of this Will. The dispositions of my various property as set
`
`forth in the preceding provisions of this Will are generally to certain of my collateral
`
`relatives, as well as to certain friends and business associates. All of these dispositions
`
`are made after careful thought and consideration by me, and I direct that they not be
`
`questioned or challenged by anyone.

`
`Will and Testament, I am not married, have never been married, and I have no children.

`inoperative for any reason, it is my intention that the remaining parts, so far as possible
`
`and reasonable, shall be effective and fully operative. The Executor may seek and obtain
`
`the advice of the estate's attorney, and/or court instructions for the purpose of carrying
`
`out as nearly as may be possible the intention of this Will as shown by the terms hereof,
`
`including any term held invalid, illegal or inoperative.
