(2) My friend, TABITHA FLINTSTONE
(3) My brother, BARNEY RUBBLE

5.2 No executor under this will, shall be required to furnish surety or other security on any
bond as executor.

5.3 In addition to all powers granted by law, I give my executor power, exercisable in the
discretion of my executor and without court order, to retain, sell (at public or private sale),
exchange, lease for any term (even though commencing in the future or extending beyond the
date of final distribution of my estate), mortgage, pledge, or otherwise deal for any purpose with
the property, real or personal, from time to time comprising my estate, for such consideration and
on such terms (with or without security) as my executor shall determine; to borrow money for
any purpose, at interest rates then prevailing, from any individual, bank, or other source,
irrespective of whether that lender is then acting as executor; to invest in any property
whatsoever; to compromise or abandon any claims in favor of or against my estate; to hold any
property in the name of a nominee or in bearer form; to employ accountants, depositaries,
attorneys, and agents (with or without discretionary powers); to execute contracts, notes,
conveyances, and other instruments, including instruments containing covenants and warranties
binding upon and creating a charge against my estate, and containing provisions excluding
personal liability; to make distributions wholly in cash or in kind, or partly in each to allot
different kinds or disproportionate shares of property or undivided interests in property among
the beneficiaries; and to determine the value of any property distributed in kind.

5.4 I empower my executor (i) to make such elections under the tax laws as my executor
deems advisable, including an election to create qualified terminable interest property for both
estate and generation-skipping tax purposes or for estate tax purposes along, and (ii) to allocate
the unused portion, if any, of my GST exemption (as defined in this paragraph) to any property
with respect to which I am the transferor for generation-skipping tax purposes (irrespective of
whether such property passes under this will) in such manner as my executor deems advisable, in
each case without regard to the relative interests of the beneficiaries, however, my executor shall
not make adjustments between principal and income, or in the interests of the beneficiaries, to
compensate for the effects of such elections and allocation. Any decision made by my executor
with respect to the exercise of any tax election or the allocation of my GST exemption shall be
binding and conclusive on all persons. As used in this paragraph, the GST exemption means
the exemption from generation-skipping tax allowed under Section 2631 of the Code.

5.5 An individual executor shall receive reasonable compensation.

5.6 If a valid disclaimer of any interest in my estate is made by, or on behalf of, any
beneficiary thereof (disclaimer), then my estate shall be held and disposed of as if this
instrument providing for the interest so disclaimed had been validly amended by me so as to
delete that portion of such provision which created the interest for the disclaimant (and only that
interest) which is so disclaimed.

ARTICLE VI SPENDTHRIFT PROVISION

6.1 To the extent permitted by law, the interest of any beneficiary in principal or income of
any trust under this Will shall not be subject to assignment, alienation, pledge, attachment, or to
the claims of creditors of such beneficiary.

ARTICLE VII - IN TERROREM

7.1 Should any beneficiary of my will contest the validity of my will or institute any
proceedings to contest the validity of my will or any provisions thereof or to institute any
proceedings to construe any provision of my will and such proceedings is deemed to be without
merit by any court or to prevent any provision of my will from being carried out in accordance
with its terms (whether or not in good faith and with probable cause), then all the benefits
provided for such beneficiary in my will are revoked and annulled and such beneficiary and all
said beneficiarys descendants shall be presumed to have predeceased me and the benefits which
such beneficiary and all his or her descendants would have received if he had made no such
contest or brought such proceedings shall go under my residuary clause as if such beneficiary
and all said beneficiarys descendants predeceased me. Each and every benefit conferred by my
will is made on the condition precedent that the beneficiary acquiesce in all the provisions of my
will and not make any such contest, and the provisions of this paragraph are an essential
ingredient of every benefit conferred by my will.

I signed this will on February 20, 2017.
