CRAIG, of Camp Hill Borough, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania, being of sound and disposing mind, memory and understanding, do make, publish and declare this to be my Last Will and Testament, hereby revoking and making void all previous wills and Codicils heretofore made by me. FIRST The expenses of my last illness and funeral shall b€,paid from the property of my estate. SECOND I give, devise and bequeath the rest, residue and remainde.i: of my estate together with all insurance proceeds thereon of whatsoever nature and wheresoever situate in equal shares to my children, JOHN T. CRAIG, JR. and STEVEN N. CRAIG, who surVlve me by thirty (30) days, per stirpes. It is further my desire that my co- personal representatives, after consultation with any heir or heirs of mine who survive me, and in their own discretion, choose such articles from my tangible personal property (exclusive of cash, stock certificates, bonds, and all other tangible evidences of intangible personal property) as they believe will be useful to PAGE 1 OF 5 LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT OF ANTOINETTE M. CRAIG such heir or heirs or desirable for him or her or them to have, either from a sentimental point of view or otherwise, and to deliver such articles to such heir or heirs or among such heirs ln equal or unequal shares as determined by the further exercise of their discretion, provided no other heir objects to the distribution. All tangible personal property not so distributed is to be sold, either publicly or privately, by my co-personal representatives, adding the proceeds of such sale or sales to my residuary estate and to be disposed of in equal shares among my surviving heirs after payment of my estate debts, taking into account the tangible personal property otherwise provided to them. THIRD I grant my co-personal representatives the following powers in addition to and not in limitation of such powers as my co-personal representatives shall hold by law: (a) To retain all property received including the stock of any corporate fiduciary acting hereunder, provided such property remains productive. (b) To join in any corporation, partnership, recapitaliza- tion, merger, reorganization or voting trust plan; to delegate authority with respect thereto; to deposit investments under agreements and pay assessments; and generally to exercise all rights of investors, including but not limited to, the voting of shares. PAGE 2 OF 5 LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT OF ANTOINETTE M. CRAIG (c) To manage, operate, repair, improve, mortgage or lease on any terms any real estate held or owned by my estate. (d) To operate any business that I may own at my death. (e) To invest any funds of my estate in any stocks, bonds, notes or other securities or property, real or personal, without regard to the principle of diversification or any other statute or general rule of law in their absolute discretion, it being my intention to give my co-personal representatives the broadest investment powers possible, providing such investments do not unnecessarily prevent the prompt settlement of my estate. (f) To sell or otherwise dispose of any property, real or personal, tangible or intangible, at any time forming a part of my estate in any manner and on such terms and conditions as my co- personal representatives shall see fit in their absolute discretion. (g) To borrow money for the payment of taxes or for any other proper purposes in the administration of my estate, and to mortgage or pledge estate assets as security. (h) To compromise claims without court approval including, but not limited to, any controversies with the United States of America or the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania concerning estate and inheritance taxes on any interests that may pass under this my Last Will and Testament. (i) To distribute in cash or in kind upon any division or distribution of my estate. PAGE 3 OF 5 LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT OF ANTOINETTE M. CRAIG (j) To undertake any and all acts deemed necessary and proper by my co-personal representatives for the proper, advantageous and prompt management of the settlement of my estate. (k) In general, to exercise all powers ln the management of my estate which any individual could exercise in the management of similar property owned in his own right, upon such terms and conditions as to them may seem best and to execute and deliver all instruments and to do all acts which they deem necessary or proper to carry out the purposes of this, my Last will and Testament. FOURTH No interest of any beneficiary of my estate, either in income or in principal, shall be subj ect to anticipation or pledge, assignment, sale or transfer in any manner, nor shall any beneficiary have the power in any manner to charge or encumber his or her interest either in income or principal, nor shall the interest of any beneficiary be liable or subj ect in any manner while in the possession of my co-personal representatives for the liability of such beneficiary. FIFTH I nominate, constitute and appoint my children, JOHN T. CRAIG, JR. and STEVEN N. CRAIG, as co-personal representatives of this my Last Will and Testament. I direct that my co-personal representatives shall not be required to give or post bond for the PAGE 4 OF 5 LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT OF ANTOINETTE M.
