Last Will and Testament of Walt Disney

, WALTER E. DISNEY, a resident of Los Angeles County, California, declare this to be my Last Will and revoke all former Wills and Codicils.

FIRST: I declare that I am married to LILLIAN B. DISNEY and that I have only two children, namely, DIANE DISNEY MILLER and SHARON DISNEY BROWN.

SECOND: It is my intention to dispose by this Will of my one-half (1/2) of the community property of my wife and myself and of all my separate property, if any. I do not undertake to dispose of my wife's one-half (1/2) of our community property.

THIRD: In the event that there shall be included in my estate any interest in any residential real properties (i.e., properties occupied by my wife and myself as our residence at the date of my death or as one of several of our residences) I hereby grant to my wife, LILLIAN B. DISNEY, if she survives me, an option to purchase any one or more of such residential real properties. The purchase price for the residential real property purchased shall be its appraised value as shown in the Inventory and Appraisement for my estate, less the amount of any encumbrance on such residential real property. If my wife exercises this option to purchase she shall take such residential real property subject to any encumbrance existing against it at the date of my death and my estate shall not pay any such encumbrance. The purchase price for the residential real property pur- chased by my wife pursuant to the exercise of this option may be payable by her either in cash or in stock of Walt Disney Productions (or any successor corporation) at her option. In the event that my wife elects to pay for such residential real property in stock, the value of such stock for such purpose shall be the closing price for the stock on the New York Stock Exchange on the day preceding the day on which my wife obtains title to my interest in such resi- dence pursuant to the provisions of this Article. The option granted hereunder must be exercised by my wife within six months of the date of my death. Any residential real property which is not purchased by my wife pursuant to the provisions of this Article shall augment the residue of my estate provided for under the terms of Article SIXTH below. In the event that any such residential real property is so purchased, the proceeds from the sale shall also augment the residue of my estate and be disposed of as provided in Article SIXTH below.
