WILL
OF
DOROTHY J. BOWMAN
I, DOROTHY J. BOWMAN, of Cumberland County, Pennsylvania, declare this
to be my will and hereby revoke all prior wills and codicils made by me.
1. Personalty. I bequeath to my husband, HERBERT S. BOWMAN, all of
my tangible personal property not used in business or for the production of
income, including without limitation furniture, furnishings, clothing,
jewelry, objects of art and decoration, and the like, and any motor vehicles
which I own, together with the insurance thereon, if he survives me. If my
husband does not survive me, then I bequeath all said property, together with
the insurance thereon, to those of my children who survive me. My children
living on the date hereof are PAUL W. BOWMAN, LYNN C. BOWMAN, BARBARA A. LOVE
and CAROL S. LINDSAY. If said children are not all competent adults, or if
they cannot agree on the division, then my executor(s) shall make the
division, and may sell any items passing hereunder and distribute the
proceeds.
2. Residue. If my husband, HERBERT S. BOWMAN, survives me (and if he
does not survive me, the property passing hereunder shall be distributed in
accordance with subsection (c) below), I bequeath, devise, and appoiqt all t;h~
rest of my property, of whatever nature and wherever situated, includiqg
~-'--";
property over which I hold a power of appointment, to the Trustee hereinafte;r,
named, for the following purposes:
LI.
(a)
Income. The Trustee shall pay the net income at le~$t
C~-}
quarterly to or for the benefit of my husband for life.
I'.,)
(b) Principal. The Trustee shall from time to time pay such
sums from the principal to or for the benefit of my husband as may in
the discretion of the Trustee seem necessary for his support, health
care and maintenance of the standard of living maintained by him during
my lifetime, taking into account such other sources of income, support
and estate that may be available to him.
(C) Distribution of Trust. When my husband is no longer living
(or at my death, if he has predeceased me), the remaining principal
shall be distributed per stirpes to my issue, provided, however, that if
any such issue is then under the age of twenty-five (25) years, his
share shall be held for him in a separate trust hereunder under the
terms of paragraph 3 below.
3. Separate Trusts. The income and principal of a separate trust in
which a share is held for a beneficiary pursuant to the terms of paragraph
2(c) above shall be distributed as follows:
(a) Income. The income shall be distributed at least quarterly
to or for the benefit of the beneficiary. No payment shall be made
under this subparagraph (a) which would discharge to any extent the
legal obligation of any person for the support of the beneficiary.
(b) Principal. The Trustee shall pay from the principal such
sums to or for any or all of the beneficiary and his issue as in the
discretion of the Trustee seems proper for their support, maintenance,
health care, and education, taking into account the other sources of
income, support and estate that are available to the distributee. No
payment shall be made under this subparagraph (b) which would discharge
to any extent the legal obligation of any person for the support of the
distributee.
(c) Distribution of Separate Trust.
(i) When such beneficiary shall have attained the age of
twenty-five (25) years, the Trustee shall distribute to him at his
written request the entire balance held in his separate trust.
- 2 -
(ii) If such beneficiary should die before making proper
request for the entire balance in his separate trust, then the
entire balance in his separate trust shall at his death be
distributed, outright or in trust, in such sums or proportions as
such beneficiary may direct in his last will, expressly referring
to his separate trust hereunder, but only among my issue; and to
the extent that such beneficiary shall fail to exercise
effectively his limited power of appointment hereunder, the
aforementioned balance in his separate trust shall then be
distributed per stirpes to his issue, or, if no such issue survive
him, per stirpes to my issue, with the share of any of such issue
for whom property is then held in or payable to a separate trust
under this paragraph 3 being added to such separate trust.
(d) Disposition Upon Application of Rule Aqainst Perpetuities.
Notwithstanding subparagraph (C) above, if during the lifetime of a
person for whom a separate trust under this paragraph 3 was established
the interest of such person therein becomes void under the applicable
rule against perpetuities, then the balance in such separate trust shall
then be distributed outright to such person.
4. Survival Clause. If any beneficiary hereunder should die within
sixty (60) days after me or within sixty (60) days after any other person the
survival of whom determines his rights hereunder, then such beneficiary shall
be deemed to have predeceased me or such other person for all purposes
hereunder.
5. Powers. In addition to such other powers and duties as may be
granted elsewhere herein or which may be granted by law, the fiduciaries
hereunder shall have the following powers and duties, without the necessity of
notice to or consent by any Court:
- 3 -
(a) To retain all or any part of my property, real or personal,
in the form in which it may be held at the time of its receipt,
including any closely held business in which I have an interest and any
stock of any corporate fiduciary hereunder, as long as in the exercise
of their discretion it may be advisable so to do, notwithstanding that
said property may not be of a character authorized by law.
(b) To invest and reinvest any funds held hereunder in any
property, real or personal, including, but not by way of limitation,
bonds, preferred stocks, common stocks, and other securities of domestic
or foreign corporations or investment trusts, mortgages or mortgage
participations, and common trust funds, even though such property would
not be considered appropriate or legal for a fiduciary apart from this
provision.
(c) To sell, convey, exchange, partition, give options to buy or
lease upon, or otherwise dispose of any property, real or personal, at.
any time held by them, with or without order of court at their option,

or for such credit terms as they think proper, and upon such terms and
for such prices as they may determine, and to convey such property free
of all trusts.
(d) To borrow money from any person, including any fiduciary
hereunder, for any purpose in connection with the administration hereof,
to execute promissory notes or other obligations for amounts so
borrowed, and to secure the payments of such amounts by mortgages or
pledges of any property, real or personal, which may be held hereunder.
(e) To make loans, secured or unsecured, in such amounts, upon
such terms, at such rates of interest, and to such persons, firms or
corporations as they may deem advisable.
- 4 -
(f) To renew or extend the time for payment of any obligation,
secured or unsecured, payable to or by them, for as long a period of
time and on such terms, as they may determine, and to adjust, settle and
arbitrate claims or demands in favor of or against them.
(g) In dividing or distributing any property, real or personal,
included herein, to divide or distribute in cash, in kind, or partly in
cash and partly in kind.
(h) To hold, manage, and develop any real estate which may be
held by them at any time, to mortgage any such property in such amounts
and on such terms as they may deem advisable, to lease any such property
for such term or terms, and upon such conditions and rentals as they may
deem advisable, whether or not the term of any such lease shall exceed
the period permitted by law or the probable period of retention under
this instrument; to make repairs, replacements and improvements,
structural and otherwise, in connection with any such property, to
abandon any such property which they may deem to be worthless or not of
sufficient value to warrant keeping or protecting, and to permit any
such property to be lost by tax sale or any other proceedings.
(i) To employ such brokers, banks, custodians, investment
counsel, attorneys, and other agents, and to delegate to them such
duties, rights and powers as they may determine, and for such periods as
they think fit.

fiduciary, or in the names of nominees, with or without indicating the
trust character of the securities so registered.

any proposition or election at any meeting of the person or entity
issuing such securities, and to grant proxies, discretionary or

policies of which they are the beneficiary, to execute any receipts for
the proceeds and to institute any action to collect said proceeds and to
make adjustments of any claim thereunder, provided, however, that they
need not institute any action unless they shall have been indemnified
against all expenses and liabilities to which they may become subject as
a result thereof. If, however, they desire to institute such action
without indemnification, they are hereby authorized to be reimbursed for
all expenses and liabilities incurred as a result thereof from any
amounts which may be held in trust hereunder then or thereafter.

beneficiary hereunder shall be subject to anticipation, pledge, assignment,
sale or transfer in any manner, nor shall any beneficiary have power in any
manner to charge or encumber his said interest, nor shall the said interest of
any beneficiary be liable or subject in any manner while in the possession of

or incompetent resides, or directly to such minor or incompetent, or may be
applied for the use or benefit of such minor or incompetent.
8. Taxes. I direct that all estate, inheritance, and succession
taxes that may be assessed in consequence of my death, of whatever nature and
by whatever jurisdiction imposed, other than generation-skipping taxes, shall
be paid out of the principal of my general estate to the same effect as if
said taxes were expenses of administration, and all other property includible
in my taxable estate for federal or state tax purposes, whether or not passing

under this will, shall be free and clear thereof; provided, however, that my
executor(s) may in the discretion of the executor(s) request that any portion
or all of said taxes (to be paid out of the principal of my general estate)
shall instead be paid out of the principal of any trust established by me in
this will or otherwise, to the extent expressly authorized under the terms of
said trust. With the consent of the Trustee(s) hereunder, said taxes may be
paid out of the principal of the trust established herein as if said taxes
were expenses of administration thereof, provided, however, that no such taxes
shall be paid out of assets that are not includible in my federal gross
estate.
9. Fiduciaries. I appoint as executor hereunder my husband,
HERBERT S. BOWMAN. If my husband should be unable or unwilling to serve or to
complete the administration of my estate, then DAUPHIN DEPOSIT BANK AND TRUST
COMPANY, with offices in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, or its successor ("DAUPHIN
DEPOSIT"), shall serve in his place. I appoint as Trustee hereunder DAUPHIN
DEPOSIT. My Trustee shall serve as guardian of the property of any minor
beneficiaries hereunder, under any instrument of trust executed by me, under
any policies of insurance on my life, and in any other situation in which the
power to make such appointment exists under the laws of Pennsylvania. No
individual fiduciary shall be liable for the acts, omissions or defaults of
any agent appointed and retained with due care or of any co-fiduciary. No
fiduciary shall be required to furnish bond or other security for the proper
performance of his duties hereunder.
10. Gender. Unless the context indicates otherwise, any use of the
masculine gender herein shall also include the feminine gender.
