LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT OF
ROBERT L. SETZER
I, ROBERT L. SETZER, of Camp Hill, Hampden Township, Cumberland County,
Pennsylvania, do hereby make this my Last Will and Testament, revoking any former
Wills and Codicils made by me.
FIRST: I am married to Mary Jane L. Setzer, and all references to my wife in
this Will are to her. I have three children: Suzanne S. Wells (born November 22,
1951); Marianne S. Bartlett (born August 27, 1954); and Carolyn S. Diercksen (born
November 17, 1956). They are described in this Will as "my children,"~~Or-::as "a ~ild of
mine." Any person born to or adopted by a child of mine is described in t~rs~Wil~~s "my
issue." Provided, however, no person shall benefit hereunder unless the order cSf'
decree of adoption is entered before such adopted person attains the ageoftw601y-
, i
one (21) years.
SECOND: I give my tangible personal property and all casualty insurance that I
am carrying on said tangible personal property to my wife. In the event my wife fails to
survive me, then I give said tangible personal property to such of my children who are
living at my death to be divided equally among or between them as they may
determine, or, if they are unable to agree, as my Executor shall determine, after
considering the wishes of such children. Any such property not so distributed shall be
sold, and the proceeds added to my residuary estate to pass as hereafter described.
FOURTH: In the event my wife shall survive me, I give, devise and bequeath
the rest, residue and remainder of my estate, real and personal, to my wife. If my wife
fails to survive me, I give, devise and bequeath such rest, residue and remainder of my
estate in equal shares to each of my children, Suzanne S. Wells, Marianne S. Bartlett
and Carolyn S. Diercksen, or their issue per stirpes, or the survivor of them, or their
issue, per stirpes.
FIFTH: If any share hereunder becomes distributable to a beneficiary who has
not attained the age of twenty-five (25) years, then such share shall immediately vest
~~'S
Last Will and Testament of ROBERT L. SETZER

in such beneficiary, but notwithstanding the provision herein, my Trustee shall retain
possession of such share in trust for such beneficiary until such beneficiary attains the
age of twenty-five (25) years, using so much of the net income and principal of such
share as my Trustee deems necessary to provide for the proper medical care,
education, support and maintenance in reasonable comfort of such beneficiary, taking
into consideration to the extent my Trustee deems advisable any other income or
resources of such beneficiary or his or her parents known to my Trustee. Any income
not so paid or applied shall be accumulated and added to principal. Such beneficiary's
share shall be paid over and distributed to such beneficiary upon attaining the age of
twenty-five (25) years, or, if he or she shall sooner die, to his or her executors or
administrators. My Trustee shall have with respect to each share so retained all of the
powers and discretions had with respect to the trusts created herein generally.
SIXTH: If any beneficiary and I should die under such circumstances as would
render it doubtful whether the beneficiary or I died first, then it shall be conclusively
presumed for the purposes of this my Will that the beneficiary predeceased me;
provided, however, that if my wife shall die with me as aforesaid, I direct that my wife
shall be conclusively presumed to have survived me.
SEVENTH: (1) I name my wife, Mary Jane L. Setzer, to be my Executrix,
herein referred to as my Executor, regardless of number or gender. In the event, my
wife is unable or unwilling to serve, I name my daughter Marianne S. Bartlett and my
son-in-law, Alan B. Wells, or the survivor of them, to be my Co-Executors. I direct that
my Executrix or Co-Executors, and their successors, regardless of number or gender,
serve without bond in any jurisdiction in which called upon to act.
(2) I name my daughter, Marianne S. Bartlett, and my son-in-law, Alan
B. Wells, or the survivor of them, to be my Co-Trustees. I direct that my Trustee or Co-
Trustees, and their successors, regardless of number or gender, serve without bond in
any jurisdiction in which called upon to act.

(3) For services as Executor and Trustee, my Executor and Trustee
shall receive reasonable compensation.
EIGHTH: (1) I give to any Executor and to any Trustee named in this Will or
any Codicil hereto or to any successor or substitute Executor or Trustee all of the
powers enumerated in this Will and all of the powers applicable by law to fiduciaries in
the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and in particular through the Pennsylvania
Probate, Estates and Fiduciaries Code, as effective and as in effect on the date of my
death, during the administration and until the completion of the distribution of my
estate, and until the termination of all trusts created in this Will or any Codicil hereto
and until the completion of the distribution of the assets of such trusts. I direct that all
such powers shall be construed in the broadest possible manner and shall be exer-
cisable without court authorization.
(2) My Executor and my Trustee are authorized and empowered to
disclaim any interest, in whole or in part, of which I, my Executor, or my Trustee, may
be the beneficiary, devisee, or legatee, by executing an appropriate instrument (in
accordance with section 2518 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or
such similar section as may then be in effect).
NINTH: No person who at any time is acting as a Co-Trustee (if any) hereunder
shall have any power or obligation to participate in or to exercise any discretionary
authority that I have given to my Trustee to pay principal or income to such person, or
for his or her benefit or in relief of his or her legal obligations. Such discretionary
authority shall be exercised solely by the disinterested co-trustee.
TENTH: No interest of any beneficiary under this Will, any Codicil hereto, or
any trust created herein, shall be subject to anticipation or to voluntary or involuntary
alienation.
ELEVENTH: All estate, inheritance, succession and other death taxes imposed
or payable by reason of my death and interest and penalties thereon with respect to all

property comprising my gross estate for death tax purposes, whether or not such
property passes under this Will, shall be paid out of the residue of my estate, as if such
taxes were expenses of administration, without apportionment or right of reimburse-
ment, except as otherwise might be determined by my Executor in its sole discretion.
authorize my Executor and Trustee to pay all such taxes at such time or times as
deemed advisable.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have set my hand and seal on this my Last Will and
Testament this Zc.:-~~y of February, 2003.
