HOFFMAN I, JANET M. HOFFMAN, of Cumberland County, Pennsylvania, make this Will, hereby - ) revoking all my former Wills and Codicils. ;- J 1_"_) ARTICLE ONE TANGIBLE PERSONAL PROPERTY , I S 1.1 I may leave a writing disposing of some or all of my tangible personal propertY; If I do so, and the writing can be incorporated by reference into this Will or otherwise be legally binding, I direct that it be incorporated or followed and prevail over the disposition below in this Article. If the writing is not legally binding, I request that my wishes be followed. This provision shall apply whether the writing is executed before or after this Will. S 1.2 I bequeath all my tangible personal property, including by way of illustration but not by way of limitation, my household furniture and furnishings, paintings, books, automobiles, jewelry and personal effects, exclusive of any such property used in a trade or business, to my children living at my death, to be divided among them in as nearly equal shares as they agree. In the event of irreconcilable disagreement among my children, they shall take alternate turns selecting individual items with my oldest child making the first selection. Any items not so selected shall be sold and the proceeds shall pass as a part of my residuary estate. S 1.3 To the extent practicable in the Executor's sole discretion, I bequeath any policies of insurance on such property to the beneficiary entitled to such property. 9 1.4 I direct that the expenses of storing, packing, shipping, insuring and delivering any such property to the beneficiary entitled thereto shall be paid by the Executor as an administrative expense of my estate. ARTICLE TWO RESIDUE 9 2.1 I devise and bequeath all the residue of my estate as follows: 9 2.1.1 Twenty percent (20%) of the residue of my estate shall be given to each of my children, who are Lois Hoffman Hardman, Lee Clair Hoffman and Cheryl Karen Mitchell, per stirpes; 9 2.1.2 Four percent (4%) of the residue of my estate shall be given to each of my grandchildren, who are Brian Christopher Weigle, Lt. Col. James Clair Weigle, Kimberly Sue Bobb, Ashley Megan Irwin and Shawn Patrick Williams, per stirpes; 9 2.1.3 The remainder of the residue of my estate shall be given in equal shares to my great-grandchildren who are alive at the time of my death; subject, however, to being held in accordance with the provisions of Article Three hereof. ARTICLE THREE BEQUESTS TO GREAT-GRANDCHILDREN 9 3.1 In the case of the gifts to my great-grandchildren, such gifts shall be held in a qualified tuition program account under Section 529 of the Internal Revenue Code or a Coverdell education savings account, or similar type of tax-deferred account for higher education expenses for each great-grandchild. Such accounts shall be administered by my grandson, Lt. Col. James Clair Weigle, or, if he is unable or unwilling to do so, then by my grandson, Shawn Patrick Williams. -2- ARTICLE FOUR APPOINTMENT OF FIDUCIARIES S 4.1 I appoint my children, Lois Hoffman Hardman, Lee Clair Hoffman and Cheryl Karen Mitchell, as Executors of this Will. If any of them is unable or unwilling to act or continue to act, for any reason whatsoever, no replacement shall be appointed and the others shall serve alone as successor Executors. S 4.2 I appoint such issue of mine who is the parent of any minor beneficiary hereunder as Guardian of the estates of such minor beneficiary under this Will, including the proceeds of any life insurance on my life payable to such minor and any other property, rights or claims with respect to which I am entitled to appoint a guardian and have not otherwise specifically done so. The Guardian shall have full authority to use such assets, both principal and income, in any manner the Guardian shall deem advisable for the best interests of the minor, including college and graduate education, and professional, vocational or technical training, without securing a court order. If such issue is unable or unwilling to act or continue to act, for any reason whatsoever, I appoint the then serving Executor as such Guardian. ARTICLE FIVE POWERS OF FIDUCIARIES S 5.1 No fiduciary under this Will shall be required to give bond or other security for the faithful performance of the fiduciary's duties. 9 5.2 Any such fiduciary shall have the following powers, in addition to those given by law: S 5.2.1 To invest in, accept and retain any real or personal property, including stock of a corporate fiduciary or its holding company, without restriction to legal investments; -3- 9 5.2.2 To sell, exchange, partition or lease for any period of time any real or personal property and to give options therefor for cash or credit, with or without security; 9 5.2.3 To borrow money from any person including any fiduciary acting hereunder, and to mortgage or pledge any real or personal property; 9 5.2.4 To hold shares of stock or other securities in nominee registration form, including that of a clearing corporation or depository, or in book entry form or unregistered or in such other form as will pass by delivery; 95.2.5 To engage in litigation and compromise, arbitrate or abandon claims; 95.2.6 To make distributions in cash, or in kind at current values, or partly in each, allocating specific assets to particular distributees on a non-pro rata basis, and for such purposes to make reasonable determinations of current values; 95.2.7 To make elections, decisions, concessions and settlements in connection with all income, estate, inheritance, gift or other tax returns and the payment of such taxes, without obligation to adjust the distributive share of income or principal of any person affected thereby; 9 5.2.8 To allocate, in the Executor's sole and absolute discretion, any portion of my exemption under Section 2631 (a) of the Internal Revenue Code to any property as to which I am the transferor, including any property transferred by me during my lifetime as to which I did not make an allocation prior to my death; 9 5.2.9 To disclaim any interest I may have in any estate if the Executor deems such disclaimer to be in the best interests of my estate and the beneficiaries thereof; 9 5.2.10 To terminate any trust created herein, the principal of which is or becomes too small in the Trustee's discretion to make the establishment or continuance of the trust advisable, and to make immediate distribution of the then remaining trust property to the beneficiary then entitled to the income of the trust property or, if there is more than one beneficiary, to the beneficiaries then entitled to the income of the trust property in proportion to their respective interests therein or, if such interests are not defined, in equal shares to such beneficiaries; provided, however, no Trustee shall participate in any decision to terminate such trust if by reason of such termination such trustee could receive a distribution of trust property from such trust as aforesaid. The receipts and releases of the distributee(s) will terminate absolutely the right of all persons who might otherwise have a future interest in the trust, whether vested or contingent, without notice to them and without the necessity of filing an account in any court; and -4- S 5.2.11 To merge any trust created hereunder with any other trust or trusts created by me or my spouse under will or deed, if the terms of any such trust are then substantially similar and held for the primary benefit of the same person or persons, and if such merger shall not cause any adverse income, estate or generation skipping transfer tax consequence. ARTICLE SIX PROVISION FOR TAXES S 6.1 All estate taxes, inheritance taxes, transfer taxes and other taxes of a similar nature payable by reason of my death to any government or subdivision thereof upon or with respect to any property subject to any such tax, and any penalties thereon, shall be paid by the Executor out of the principal of that portion of my estate disposed of by Article Two of this Will, and all interest with respect to any such taxes shall be paid by the Executor out of the income or principal or partly out of the income and partly out of the principal of such portion of my estate, in the absolute discretion of the Executor. My Executor shall not make apportionment among or seek reimbursement from the beneficiaries, recipients or owners of such property for any such taxes, penalties or interest. Notwithstanding any provision of this Article to the contrary, the Executor shall not pay any such taxes, penalties or interest attributable to any property included in my estate solely because of a power of appointment thereover which I possess but have not exercised or any qualified terminable interest property. ARTICLE SEVEN PROVISION FOR DEBTS AND EXPENSES S 7.1 I direct that any of my legally enforceable debts, any expenses of my last illness, funeral and burial, and any of the administrative expenses of my estate shall be paid from the principal of that portion of my estate disposed of by Article Two of this Will. -5- ARTICLE EIGHT MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS ~ 8.1 As used in this Will, the term "Internal Revenue Code" shall mean the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended from time to time, or the corresponding provision of subsequent law. ~ 8.2 If any person and I die under such circumstances that it is impossible to determine which of us survived, it shall be conclusively presumed and this Will shall be construed as if such person had predeceased me. ~ 8.3 Whenever a discretionary distribution of net income or principal is permitted pursuant to any trust created by this Will, if such distribution may be made in whole or in part to a person who is then a trustee of such trust, such person may not participate in any way in the decision whether to make such distribution. No trustee who is under a legal obligation to support a beneficiary of a trust created hereunder shall participate in the exercise of any discretion granted to the trustees of that trust to distribute net income or principal in discharge of that legal obligation. Furthermore, no trustee shall enter into any reciprocal arrangement with any other trustee for the purpose of indirectly exercising a power prohibited hereunder. ~ 8.4 Whenever a fiduciary is directed to distribute property to or for the benefit of any beneficiary who is under (a) twenty-one (21) years of age, or (b) a legal disability or otherwise suffers from an illness or mental or physical disability that would make distribution directly to such beneficiary inappropriate (as determined in such fiduciary's sole discretion exercised in good faith), the fiduciary may distribute such property to the person who has custody of such beneficiary, may apply such property for the benefit of such beneficiary, may distribute such property to a custodian for such beneficiary, whether then serving or selected and appointed by -6- the fiduciary (including the fiduciary), under any applicable Uniform Transfers to Minors Act or Uniform Gifts to Minors Act, may distribute such property to the guardian of such beneficiary's estate, may distribute such property directly to such beneficiary's estate, or may distribute such property directly to such beneficiary (except if any of the conditions hereinbefore described in (b) apply), without liability on the part of the fiduciary to see to the application of such property. This provision shall not in any way operate to suspend such beneficiary's absolute ownership of such property or to prevent the absolute vesting thereof in such beneficiary. S 8.5 Except as otherwise may be provided in this Will, during the continuance of any of the trusts created under the provisions of this Will, and thereafter until the property is distributed to and received by any beneficiary hereunder, the principal sums thus held in trust for any beneficiary, respectively, and the income thereof shall not be subject to or liable for any contracts, debts, engagements, liabilities or torts of such beneficiary now or hereafter made, contracted, incurred or committed, but shall be absolutely free from the same, and such beneficiary shall have no power to sell, assign or encumber all or any part of the principal sums or such beneficiary's interest therein, respectively, or the income thereot,' or to anticipate the income. S 8.6 A corporate fiduciary shall be entitled to receive compensation for its services hereunder in accordance with its schedule in effect when the services are performed, but not in excess of such compensation as would be approved by a court of competent jurisdiction. An individual fiduciary shall be entitled to receive reasonable compensation for such fiduciary's services hereunder. S 8.7 Notwithstanding any other provision of this Will, upon the expiration of twenty-one (21) years after the death of the last survivor of my issue living at my death, the -7- trusts created by this Will shall forthwith terminate and the trust property shall be distributed to the beneficiary then entitled to the income of the trust property or, if there is more than one beneficiary, to the beneficiaries then entitled to the income of the trust property in proportion to their respective interests therein or, if such interests are not defined, in equal shares to such beneficiaries. 9 8.8 In order for my children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren to inherit hereunder, they must be my issue, which shall include anyone legally adopted by any of my issue and his or her their issue; any others not my legal issue, including stepchildren not adopted by an issue of mine as of the date of my death, shall not be entitled to inherit hereunder.
