LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT
KNOW ALL MEN BY THESE PRESENTS, that I, DOROTHY G. SUTHERLIN

administration of my estate shall be paid by my Executor hereinafter named, from my estat€as

SECOND: I give and bequeath the sum of FORTY THOUSAND ($40,000.00)
DOLLARS to my daughter NANCY WALSH.
THIRD: If at the time of my death, I have any equity remaining in Cumberland
Crossings or any traceable proceeds, I give and bequeath that into two equal shares as follows:
A) One share shall be divided equally between RICHARD GROSS,
RANDOLPH GROSS and NANCY WALSH; and
B) One share shall be divided equally between my spouse's children GERARD
K. SUTHERLIN and MARIETTA SUTHERLIN and my spouse's step children WILLIAM R.
FERRY and RICHARD L. FERRY.
FOURTH: I bequeath my automobiles, household and personal effects and other
tangible personalty like nature (not including cash or securities), together with any existing
insurance thereon, to my children RICHARD GROSS, RANDOLPH GROSS and NANCY
WALSH, to be divided among them as they agree or, if they are unable to agree, then by making
~ ~,~~
~
alternate selections of items in turn, with the oldest going first, until each has selected an equal
dollar amount. Any of the above items not so disposed of shall be sold by my personal
representative and the proceeds added to my residuary estate.
FIFTH: I give, devise and bequeath the rest, residue and remainder of my estate,
whether real, personal or mixed, and of any nature whatsoever and wherever situate, to my
children RICHARD GROSS, RANDOLPH GROSS and NANCY WALSH.
If any of them should fail to survive me, then to their respective issue, per stirpes.
SIXTH: I hereby nominate, constitute, and appoint RICHARD GROSS,
RANDOLPH GROSS and NANCY WALSH, or the survivor of them, as Executors of this, my
Last Will and Testament, without necessity for posting security regardless of state of residence.
All references to the Executor herein shall be applicable to said substitute Executor.
SEVENTH: If any income or principal shall be payable under my Last Will and
Testament or by operation of law to a beneficiary who has not yet attained the age of twenty-one
(21), my Executors shall appoint a custodian and a substitute custodian for said beneficiary in
accordance with the Pennsylvania Uniform Transfers to Minor Act. Nothing herein shall prevent
my Executors from serving as custodian.
EIGHTH: To the greatest extent permitted by law, 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. However, a beneficiary may assign any part or all of his or her
interest to his or her descendants.
NINTH: My Executor shall have, in addition to the powers and authority conferred
upon him by law, the following additional powers and authority:
1. To sell at public or private sale, exchange, transfer, partition, give options upon,

deem wise.
2. To invest any money at any time in such bonds, stocks, notes, real estate,
mortgages, life insurance, annuities or other securities, or such property, real or personal, as the
Executor shall deem wise, without being limited by any statutes or rule of law regarding
investments by the Executor. .
3. To retain, without ihcurring any liability, as investments, any property owned by
me at the time of my death, as long as my Executor may deem it wise, and even though such
property is not the kind of property an Executor would purchase as an investment; and even
though to retain such property might violate sound diversification principles.
4. To cause any security or other property which may constitute a portion of my
estate to be issued, held or registered in the Executor's own name, or in the name of a nominee,
or in such form that title will pass by delivery.
5. To consent to the reorganization, consolidation, readjustment of the financial
structure, or sale of the assets of any corporation or other organization, the securities of which
constitute a portion of my estate, and to take any action with reference to such securities which,
in the opinion of the Executor is necessary to obtain the benefit of any such reorganization,
consolidation, readjustment or sale; to exercise any conversion privilege or subscription right
given to my Executor as owner of any securities constituting a portion of my estate resulting
from any reorganization, consolidation, readjustment, sale, conversion or subscription.
6. To pay all costs, taxes, charges and expenses in connection with the
administration of my estate, including such compensations to Executor which shall be in
accordance with established fees throughout the period of administration of my estate.
7. To determine what is "income" and what is "principal" hereunder, and my
Executor's decision thereon shall be final; and to purchase securities at a premium or discount,
d)~ ~,~
3
and to apply or charge said premium or discount against income or principal as the Executor may
determine.
8. The Executor may make payments to or on behalf of any person who is the
beneficiary hereunder but in no event, however, shall payments be made to any creditor or other
such person because of anticipation of payment by the beneficiary, and any such claim made by
way of anticipation by the beneficiary shall be of no validity or legal effect.
9. To borrow money from any person, firm or corporation, including any
corporation acting as an Executor hereunder, for the purpose of protecting and preserving or
improving my estate hereunder; to execute promissory notes or other obligations for amounts so
borrowed.
10. To employ legal counsel, accountants, brokers, investment advisors, custodians,
managers and other agents and employees and to pay reasonable compensation out of my estate
or any funds held hereunder to which said compensation is attributable.
11. To carry on any business owned or controlled by me at my death for whatever
period of time my Executor shall think proper, and my Executor shall have the power to do any
and all things my Executor deems necessary or appropriate, including the power to close out,
liquidate or sell the business at such time and upon such terms as my Executor shall deem best.
12. To do all other acts in my Executor's judgment necessary or desirable for the
proper and advantageous management, investment and distribution of my estate.
TENTH: I direct that all transfer and inheritance taxes, state or federal, assessed
because of my death, whether the funds, property or insurance proceeds to which such taxes are
attributable pass under this Will or not, shall be paid out of my residuary estate; that my Executor
pay, or provide for payment of all such taxes at such time, or times, and in such manner as my
Executor deems best.o
