WILL

WARREN W. HARDING
CONFORMED PHOTOCOPY
MADE FROM THE ORIGINAL
ON II II;.} /0 ~
BY~ 4-
I, WARREN W. HARDING, 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 wife, Viola Mae Harding, 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 she survives me. If my
wife does not survive me, then I bequeath all said property, together with the insurance thereon,
to those of my children who survive me. 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. Bequests. I bequeath the sum of:
(a) Twenty-five Thousand Dollars ($25,000.00) to my daughter Zelda
M. Godfrey, if she survives me, or, if she does not survive me, per stirpes to her
issue;
(b) Twenty-five Thousand Dollars ($25,000.00) to my daughter Doris
Bragan, if she survives me, or, if she does not survive me, per stirpes to her issue;
and
(c) Twenty-five Thousand Dollars ($25,000.00) to my daughter Janice
Davis, if she survives me, or, if she does not survive me, per stirpes to her issue.
If any such issue of a daughter is under the age of thirty-five (35) years, his share shall be held for
him in a separate trust under the terms of paragraph 6 below.
3. Residue. I bequeath, devise, and appoint all the rest of my property, of whatever
nature and wherever situated, including property over which I hold a power of appointment,
except that I do not exercise any power of appointment given to me by my wife, to the Trustee(s)
hereinafter named, for the following purposes:
(a) If my wife, Viola Mae Harding, survives me, then the Trustee(s)
shall establish Trust A hereunder, governed by paragraph 4 below, by allocation
thereto, from the property held hereunder, an amount, if any, equal to (i) the
minimum amount, after taking into account all deductions other than the marital
deduction and applying all credits available, which is necessary as the marital
deduction to reduce to the lowest possible amount the federal estate tax payable
by reason of my death, less (ii) the value of all other assets in my gross estate
which qualify for the marital deduction and which pass or have passed to my said
wife under other provisions of this will or otherwise. In determining such
amount, all assets involved in the calculation shall be valued at fmal federal estate
tax values, but in funding Trust A, date of distribution values shall be used and
only assets that qualify for the marital deduction shall be used. I intend that the
interest of my wife in Trust A shall qualify for the marital deduction, and any
provisions herein which may appear to conflict with or in any way defeat my
intention to obtain the marital deduction for the full amount of Trust A shall be
construed or applied to accomplish that intention.
- 2 -
(b) The remainder of the property passing hereunder (or, if my wife
does not survive me, all the property passing hereunder) shall be held as Trust B.
(See paragraph 5 below.)
4. Trust A. The income and principal of Trust A (if established hereunder) shall be
distributed as follows:
(a) Income. The Trustee(s) shall pay the net income from Trust A to
or for the benefit of my wife, Viola Mae Harding, for her lifetime, in such
installments, but not less frequently than quarterly, as the Trustee( s) may
determine.
(b) Principal. The Trustee(s) shall pay from time to time from the
principal of Trust A to or for the benefit of my wife:
(i) such sums as shall in the discretion of the Trustee(s)
seem proper for her support, maintenance, and health care or
necessary to permit her to maintain a standard ofliving
approximately equal to that maintained by her during my lifetime,
taking into account such other sources of income, support and
estate that may be available to her, and
(ii) such sums, including any or all principal, that my
wife may request in writing.
(c) After Wife's Lifetime. Upon the death of my wife, Viola Mae
Harding, all the principal then held in Trust A shall be distributed as she may by
her will appoint, making specific reference to this Trust A. Except as expressly
stated in the preceding sentence, there shall be no restriction, condition or
qualification on or to the power to make such appointment and the permissible
- 3 -
beneficiaries. The power of appointment shall be exercisable by my wife alone
and in all events, and there shall be no power in any person other than my husband
to appoint to any other person any part of the property passing under Trust A. To
the extent that my wife should fail to exercise effectively her power of
appointment over any part ofthe property in Trust A, the Trustee(s) shall (except
to the extent that my wife expressly directs to the contrary in her last will or in a
writing delivered to the Trustee(s) during her lifetime) pay from the unappointed
portion of the principal of Trust A:
(i) the amount of any additional estate, inheritance or
other death taxes imposed on account of the death of my wife by
reason of her power of appointment over and other rights in the
unappointed portion of the principal of Trust A (the amount of
each such additional tax to be equal to the excess if any of the tax,
including any interest thereon, payable by reason of her death over
the amount of such tax which would have been payable ifno such
tax was payable by reason of her death with respect to the
unappointed principal of Trust A), and
(ii) any expenses incurred in the administration of her
estate attributed to the determination of such taxes (and the
Trustee(s) may accept the written statement of her personal
representatives as to the amount of taxes and expenses payable
hereunder),
-4-
and the remaining balance of the principal held in Trust A at her death shall be
added to and considered part of Trust B and shall be administered and distributed
under the provisions herein governing Trust B.
5. Trust B. The income and principal of Trust B shall be distributed as follows:
(a) Income. The Trustee(s) shall pay the net income from Trust Bat
least quarterly to or for the benefit of my wife, Viola Mae Harding, for her
lifetime.
(b) Principa1.
(i) The Trustee(s) shall from time to time pay such
sums from the principal of Trust B to or for the benefit of my wife
as may in the discretion of the Trustee(s) seem necessary for her
support, maintenance and health care, and for the maintenance by
my wife of the standard of living maintained by her during my
lifetime, taking into account such other sources of income, support
and estate that may be available to her and the needs and resources
of all the beneficiaries. My first priority for the income and
principal of Trust B taken together is the support, maintenance, and
health care of my wife for life. In determining whether any
invasion shall be made for the benefit of my wife from the
principal of Trust A or from the principal of Trust B, such invasion
shall be made from Trust A as far as practica1.
(ii) The Trustee(s) shall from time to time pay such
sums from the principal of Trust B to or for the benefit of my issue
as may in the discretion of the Trustee(s) seem necessary for the
- 5 -
. .
health, education, support and maintenance of my issue, taking into
account such other sources of income, support and estate that may
be available to the beneficiary and the needs and resources of all
the beneficiaries. Any of the foregoing distributions to or for the
benefit of my issue shall be based on their needs, rather than on a
desire to maintain absolute equality of payments among them.
(c) Legal Support Obligation. No payment shall be made under
subparagraphs ( a) or (b) above which would discharge to any extent the legal
obligation of any person for the support of the recipient of such payment.
(d) Wife's Rights of Withdrawal. In addition to the foregoing, during
any calendar year my wife shall have the unqualified right in her sole discretion to
demand in one or more writings delivered by her to the Trustee(s) that she be paid
from the principal of Trust B an amount not in excess of the greater of Five
Thousand Dollars ($5,000.00) or five percent (5%) of the aggregate market value
of the assets of Trust B as of December 31 of the calendar year during which such
demand is made. The right permitted my wife under this subparagraph (d) must
be exercised by her as herein provided on or before December 31 of the calendar
year to which applicable, and any amount as to which such right is not exercised
for any given calendar year shall lapse and shall not accumulate or carry over to
any future calendar year.
(e) After Wife's Lifetime: Limited Power of Ap1>ointment by Wife.
Upon the death of the survivor of my wife and me, if she survives me, the
Trustee(s) shall pay the balance held in Trust B, outright or in trust, in such
amounts or proportions to orJor the benefit of any or all of my issue and their
- 6-
spouses or former spouses and persons gifts to whom are then allowable as
deductions under Section 2055 of the Internal Revenue Code (or any successor
provision), as my wife may direct in her will making specific reference to Trust B
hereunder. To the extent that my wife should fail to exercise effectively her
limited power of appointment over Trust B, or if she should predecease me, then
upon the death of the survivor of my wife and me, the principal remaining in Trust
B shall be distributed per stirpes to my issue, provided, however, that if any such
issue is then under the age of thirty-five (35) years, his share shall be held for him
in a separate trust hereunder under the terms of paragraph 6 below.
6. Separate Trusts. The income and principal of a separate trust in which a share of
any issue under paragraph 2 is to be held for the beneficiary under this paragraph 6, or in which a
share in Trost B is to be held for the beneficiary pursuant to the terms of paragraph 5( 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(s) 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(s) seems proper for their support, maintenance, health care, and
education, and such sums to or for the benefit of the beneficiary as in the
discretion of the Trustee(s) seems proper to help establish him in a business or
profession or acquire or furnish a home for him, taking into account the other
sources of income, support and estate that are available to the distributee, the
- 7 -
. .
reasonably anticipated needs and resources of the beneficiary and his issue, their
income and estate tax brackets, the desirability of the transaction (if any), and the
possible application of any generation-skipping tax. 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 SeJlarate Trust.
(i) When such beneficiary shall have attained the age
of twenty-five (25) years, the Trustee(s) shall distribute to him at
his written request one third (113) of the remaining principal
balance then held in his separate trust; when such beneficiary shall
have attained the age of thirty (30) years, the Trustee(s) shall
distribute to him at his written request one half(~) of the
remaining principal balance; and when such beneficiary shall have
attained the age of thirty-five (35) years, the Trustee(s) shall
distribute to him at his written request the entire balance held in his
separate trust.
(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 their spouses or former
spouses and persons gifts to whom are then allowable as
deductions under Section 2055 of the Internal Revenue Code (or
- 8 -
, .
any successor provision); 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 the issue of his parent who was a child
