For dates of death on or after July 1, 1994 and before January 1, 1995, the tax rate imposed on the net value of transfers to or for the use of the surviving spouse
is three (3) percent [72 P.S. ~9116 (a) (1.1) (i)].
For dates of death on or after January 1, 1995, the tax rate imposed on the net value of transfers to or for the use of the surviving spouse is zero (0) percent
[72 P.S. ~9116 (a) (1.1) (Ii)). The statute does not exemot a transfer to a surviving spouse from tax, and the statutory requirements for disclosure of assets and
filing a tax return are still applicable even if the surviving spouse is the only beneficiary.
For dates of death on or after July 1, 2000:
The tax rate imposed on the net value of transfers from a deceased child twenty-one years of age or younger at death to or for the use of a natural parent, an
adoptive parent, or a stepparent of the child is zero (0) percent [72 P.S. ~9116(a){1.2)].
The tax rate imposed on the net value of transfers to or for the use of the decedent's lineal beneficiaries is four and one-half (4.5) percent, except as noted in
72 P.S. ~9116(1.2) [72 P.S. ~9116{a)(1)).
The tax rate imposed on the net value of transfers to or for the use of the decedent's siblings is twelve (12) percent [72 P.S. 99116(a)(1.3)]. A sibling is defined, under
Section 9102, as an individual who has at least one parent in common with the decedent, whether by blood or adoption.

DEED OF TRUST
I, ROBERT B. SPOONER, of Ambler, Pennsylvania, hereby create a
trust wherein I designate myself as Trustee, and shall hold and invest
the assets of this trust, as listed on Schedule "A" attached hereto,
upon the following terms:
I. Lifetime Trust: During my lifetime, I or my successor trustee shall
keep principal invested and distribute it as follows:
A. As much of the principal and net income as I or my successor
trustee may from time to time think desirable, shall be used for my
support, health, maintenance and comfort;
B. Any remaining net income not so used shall from time to time be
accumulated and added to principal.
II. Disposition at Death: Upon my death, all undistributed principal
and income shall be paid to my children, ROBERT L. SPOONER, HOLLY R.
SHAFER, WENDY A. STONER, and LAURA C. ANDERSON, in equal shares. In the
event a child has predeceased me, then the share to which he or she
would have been entitled shall be paid to his or her then living issue,
in equal shares, per stirpes.
III. Minority Clause: In the event that any share becomes distributable
to a person under twenty-one (21) years of age, such share shall be
held in trust by my successor trustee until such person becomes
twenty-one (21) years of age, and the income and principal of such
share shall, in the discretion of my successor trustee, be applied
toward the health, education and welfare of such person, directly,
without the intervention of a guardian. The receipt by such person or
institution as my successor trustee shall select to receive disbursements
of income and principal shall be a complete release of my successor
trustee.
IV. Successor Trustee: In the event I shall become mentally incompetent
or so disabled as to be unable to manage my financial affairs, as
certified by a qualified medical physician, ROBERT L. SPOONER, HOLLY R.
SHAFER, WENDY A. STONER, and LAURA C. ANDERSON shall act as succeeding
Co-Trustees under the same terms and conditions as set forth herein.
V. Death Taxes: Unless my Will provides otherwise, any death taxes on
my estate, including interest and penalties, attributable to the
principal of this trust, shall be paid from that portion of such
principal subject to the particular tax.
VI. Protective provision: No interest in income or principal shall be
assignable by or available to anyone having a claim against a
beneficiary before actual payment to the beneficiary.
VII. Powers Reserved by Me: I shall have the following powers,
exercisable whenever and as often as I may wish:
A. To withdraw any or all of the principal~
B. To add to this trust;
C. To alter or revoke this trust in whole or in part by a writing
- other than a Will.
VIII. Early Termination of Trust: If any trustee determines that it 1S
impractical to continue to hold any principal or property in trust
because of its size or for any other reason, trustee may, without
further responsibility, terminate the trust and pay the then-remaining
principal and income of that trust to the person then eligible to
receive income therefrom or, if there is more than one such person, to
them in such amounts or proportions as trustee may think appropriate.
If any person is a minor or is, in trustee's opinion, disabled by
advanced age, illness or other cause, trustee may pay any amount
distributable to him or her to his or her parent or guardian or to any
person or organization taking care of him or her or, in the case of a
minor, may deposit it in an interest bearing account in the nrinor's
name, payable to him or her at majority. Trustee shall have no further
responsibility for funds so paid or deposited.
IX. Management provisions: I and my successors are authorized to
exercise the following powers:
A. To retain any property and invest in any property, including by
way of illustration and not by way of limitation, common stocks, any
common or diversified trust funds, any form of life insurance, annuity
or endowment policies, without restriction to 50-called legal
investments and without responsibility for diversification.
B. To sell at public or private sale, for cash or credit, with or
without security, to exchange or to partition property and to give
options for leases.
C. To compromise claims.
D. To make distribution in cash or in kind or partly in each.
X. Definitions: The following definitions shall be applicable to all of
the provisions of this Trust except where otherwise specifically
stated:
A. The terms "issue", "children" or any other term denoting
relationship shall be deemed to include adopted persons, whether
adopted prior or subsequent to my death.
B. The use of the masculine shall be deemed to include the
feminine or neuter and the use of the singular to include the plural,
and vice V'ersa.
C. The term "minor" shall be deemed to refer to any individual who
2
has not attained the age of twenty-one (21) years.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand and seal.
