I, LESTER W. GINANNI, of Mechanicsburg, Cumberland County,
Pennsylvania, declare this to be my Last Will and Testament and
revoke any and all Wills and Codicils previously made by me.
ITEM I: I direct that all my just debts, last
medical expenses, and funeral expenses shall be paid from the
assets of my estate as soon as practicable after my decease.
ITEM II: If my spouse, LILLIAN R. GINANNI, survives
me, I give to my Trustee, hereinafter named, an amount equal to
the maximum dollar amount, if any, which can pass free of
federal estate tax in my estate by reason of the unified credit
and the state death tax credit (provided that the use of this
credit does not require an increase in the state death taxes
paid), reduced by the aggregate of (1) all items includable in
my estate for federal estate tax purposes which either are
disposed of in previous Items of this Will or pass outside of
this will and which do not qualify for the federal estate tax
marital deduction or the federal estate tax charitable
deduction; and (2) the amount of all charges to principal of my
estate (including expenses and death taxes) that are not
allowed as deductions in computing my federal estate tax. For
the purpose of establishing the amount of the gift under this
Item, all values shall be those as finally determined for
federal estate tax purposes, but in funding, date of
distribution values shall be used. This Trust shall be
referred to and known as my Credit Shelter Trust. My Trustee
shall hold this sum IN TRUST, during the life of my spouse,
LILLIAN R. GINANNI, for the following uses and purposes:
A. To pay the net income thereof to my spouse,
LILLIAN R. GINANNI.
B. The Trustee may apply the net income of this
Trust for the benefit of my said spouse should she by reason of
age or illness be incapable of disbursing it.
C. Upon the death of my spouse, LILLIAN R. GINANNI,
the principal and any accumulated or undistributed income,
shall be distributed as follows:
1) Sixty (60%) percent (plus any increase for
sums received from application of Item II-C(2) (f) hereof)
2
in equal shares to my four children, MARY LESLIE GINANNI
YEAGER, NANCY L. GINANNI ANDREOLI, JEAN M. GINANNI SMITH,
and LESTER W. GINANNI, JR., or the surviving issue of each
specifically named child, per stirpes (excluding Anthony
Frank and provided that the shares of LESTER W. GINANNI,
JR. and NANCY L. GINANNI ANDREOLI shall be held in trust,
pursuant to the terms of Items VI and VII hereof,
respectively); on condition, that any such surviving issue
who are then less than thirty (30) years of age shall
receive his share of distribution in trust, pursuant to
the terms of Item II-C(2) hereof.
2) Forty (40%) percent (unless reduced under
Item II-C(2) (f) hereof) in equ~l shares, one share to each
of my then surviving grandchildren, including ANTHONY
FRANK as one member of this class; PROVIDED that if any
such surviving grandchild entitled to distribution under
this Item II-C(2) shall be then under age thirty (30), the
share of such beneficiary shall be held by my Trustee, IN
FURTHER SEPARATE TRUST, for the following uses and
purposes:
(a) If the beneficiary is under age eighteen, to
expend and apply so much of the net income (any
3
income not expended or applied to be accumulated and
added to principal) and so much of the principal
thereof as the trustee shall consider advisable for
the support and education (including college
education, both graduate and undergraduate) of that
beneficiary until he or she attains the age of
eighteen years.
(b) After the beneficiary attains the age of
eighteen, thereafter to pay to such child the net
income together with so much of the principal thereof
as trustee shall consider advisable for the support
and education (including college education, both
graduate and undergraduate) of such beneficiary after
taking into consideration his or her other readily
available assets and sources of income.
(c) Up to one-third (1/3) of the then-remaining
principal and accumulated income of that
beneficiary's share at age twenty-five (25) on the
request of the beneficiary shall be distributed to
him at or after age twenty-five (25) i and up to the
entire balance of principal and accumulated income
then remaining of his share at his request shall be
4
distributed to that beneficiary at or after age
thirty (30). Distributions at or after these stated
ages shall be made only in the event the beneficiary
requests such distribution by a writing intended to
take effect during his lifetime, executed by him upon
or after attaining each of the stated ages and
delivered to my Trustee.
(d) Notwithstanding the aforestated terms
hereof, each trust shall terminate within and no
later than the period established by the Pennsylvania
Rule Against Perpetuities.
(e) If any trust beneficiary shall die before
receiving distribution or final distribution of his
entire share, the share or undistributed share of
such trust beneficiary shall be distributed in
accordance with the Last Will and Testament of such
trust beneficiary. However, in the event said trust
beneficiary has no Last Will and Testament at the
time of his death, the balance of his share shall be
distributed to his surviving issue, per stirpes;
PROVIDED, that if any such beneficiary is then under
age twenty-one (21), the share of such beneficiary
5
shall be held in FURTHER SEPARATE TRUST governed by
the terms stated in this ITEM II-C(2) until such
twenty-first (21st) birthday, after which all
principal and accumulated income shall be distributed
upon written request. No distributions of principal
on demand shall be made except in the sole and
absolute discretion of the Trustee prior to the
twenty-first (21st) birthday of the respective
beneficiary. In the event said trust beneficiary
dies without issue, his share or the balance of his
share of my estate shall pass to his heirs at law,
subject to the terms of the trust set forth herein.
(f) Notwithstanding the foregoing, under no
circumstances shall there be distributed to my
grandchildren under this Item II-C(2) an amount that
would then exceed the sum then excluded under the
Internal Revenue Code from generation skipping
transfer taxation. In such event, the aforesaid
excess shall be distributed to my children.
D. I direct that my Executrix and her successors
shall not elect that this trust be a part of the marital
deduction and thereby included in my spouse's estate.
6
ITEM III: If my spouse, LILLIAN R. GI NANN I , survives
me (and I direct that for the purposes of this ITEM III she
shall be deemed to have survived me unless it appears
unmistakably that she predeceased me), I give, devise and
bequeath the rest, residue and remainder of my estate of every
nature and wherever situate outright to my spouse, LILLIAN R.
GINANNI.
ITEM IV: Should my spouse, LILLIAN R. GINANNI,
predecease me, I give, devise and bequeath the rest, residue
and remainder of my estate of every nature and wheresoever
situate as follows: SIXTY (60%) PERCENT to my children, as set
forth in Item II-C(l) hereof and FORTY (40%) PERCENT (unless
reduced to avoid generation skipping transfer taxation) to my
surviving grandchildren, outright or in trust, as set forth in
Item II-C(2) hereof.
ITEM V: If my spouse, LILLIAN R. GINANNI, makes a
qualified disclaimer (as defined in Sec. 2518 of the Internal
Revenue Code, as amended) with respect to all or any portion of
the interest in property given to her under any provision of my
Will, I give such disclaimed property interests to the Trustee
of my Credit Shelter Trust, IN TRUST, for the benefit of my
7
said spouse during her lifetime with the balance of the
principal and interest passing in conformity with the terms of
Item II-C hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, my spouse,
LILLIAN R. GINANNI, may completely disclaim any interest
whatsoever, pursuant to Item IX hereof, by specific reference
to Item IX in her written disclaimer, in which case there shall
be no spousal gift hereunder to the extent of the disclaimer,
and the disclaimed interest shall pass directly to my children
and surviving grandchildren, as if my spouse had predeceased
me, pursuant to the percentages and terms set forth in Item IV
hereof.
ITEM VI: I give, devise and bequeath any share of my
estate that is to pass to my son, LESTER W. GINANNI, JR., of
every nature and wheresoever situate to my Trustee, hereinafter
named, to be held in Trust until he is fifty-five (55) years of
age for the following uses and purposes:
A. To pay the net income derived from the principal
to my son in convenient installments, at least monthly.
B. The Trustee may apply the net income of this
Trust for the benefit of my son should he by reason of age or
illness be incapable of disbursing it.
C. The entire balance of principal and any
8
accumulated income then remaining in this Trust at his written
request shall be distributed to the beneficiary at or after age
fifty-five (55).
D. If my son, LESTER W. GINANNI, JR., dies before
receiving distribution or final distribution of his entire
share, his share or undistributed share shall be distributed in
accordance with his Last Will and Testament. However, in the
event my son, LESTER W. GINANNI, JR., has no Last Will and
Testament at the time of his death, the balance of his share
shall be distributed to his heirs at law.
ITEM VII: I give, devise and bequeath any share of my
estate that is to pass to my daughter, NANCY L. GINANNI
ANDREOLI, of every nature and wheresoever situate to my
Trustee, hereinafter named, to be held in Trust for the
lifetime of my daughter for the following uses and purposes:
A. To pay the net income derived from the principal
to my daughter in convenient installments, at least monthly.
B. The Trustee may apply the net income of this
Trust for the benefit of my daughter should she by reason of
age or illness be incapable of disbursing it.
C. As much of the principal of this Trust as the
Trustee may from time to time think advisable for the support
9
of my daughter to maintain her in the station of life to which
she is accustomed at my death and after taking into
consideration her other readily available assets and sources of
income, or during illness or emergency, shall be paid to her or
applied directly for her benefit by the Trustee.
D. If my daughter, NANCY L. GINANNI ANDREOLI, dies
before receiving distribution or final distribution of her
entire share, her share or undistributed share shall be
distributed in accordance with her Last Will and Testament.
However, in the event my daughter, NANCY L. GINANNI ANDREOLI,
has no Last Will and Testament at the time of her death, the
balance of her share shall be distributed to her heirs at law.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the share of any grandchild
beneficiary who is now in existence and less than age thirty
(30) at the time of my said daughter's demise shall pass to the
trust established for such grandchild, pursuant to the trust
provisions of Item II-C(2) hereof.
ITEM VIII-A: My Executrix, Trustee and their
successors shall have the following powers, in addition to
those vested in them by law and by other provisions of my Will,
applicable to all property, whether principal or income,
including property held for minors, exercisable without court
10
approval, and effective until actual distribution of all
property:
1) To borrow money from any person or
institution including any corporate fiduciary and to mortgage
or pledge any or all real or personal property as they in their
sole discretion shall choose, without regard for the
dispositive provisions of this instrument, except that no
property passing to the marital deduction share shall be so
mortgaged or pledged.
2) To reasonably compromise claims asserted by
or against my estate.
3) To join with my spouse in filing a joint
income tax return without requiring her to indemnify my estate
against liability for the tax attributable to her income, and
to consent to any gifts made by my spouse being treated as
having been made one-half by me for the purpose of federal laws
relating to gift tax.
4) To retain any or all of the assets of my
estate, real or personal, without regard to any principle of
diversification or risk.
5) To sell at public sale, to exchange, or to
lease for any period of time, any real or personal property and
11
to give option for sales, exchanges, or leases, for such prices
and upon such terms or conditions as they deem proper.
6) To make loans to, to sell to, and to buy
property from my or my spouse's executor or administrator or my
trustee. This shall not be construed as a command to exercise
these powers under any circumstances. All sums payable to the
Credit Shelter Trust established in Item II hereof from
whatever source shall be utilized for such loans or to purchase
assets from my Executrix at final federal estate tax values.
7) To borrow on life insurance policies, to
assign and pledge such policies for any loan, to pay premiums
on said policies, and to receive dividends and all other
paYments available to the Trustee as owner.
8) To exercise any law-given option to pay death
taxes in installments, the payment of interest due on such
installments to be a charge against principal of my Credit
Shelter Trust.
9) Notwithstanding any power granted expressly
or impliedly herein, such shall be void and of no effect as to
the marital gift if such would either reduce or eliminate said
gift, as elected by my Executrix.
Furthermore, in no event
shall there be included in the Item III bequest any asset or
12
the proceeds of any asset which will not qualify for the
marital deduction. Such assets shall be included in the
principal of my Credit Shelter Trust.
10) Either cash or investments or both may be
allocated to the trust created in Item III; provided that any
property allocated in kind shall be valued at the value at
which it is finally included in my gross estate for federal
estate tax purposes, and further provided that the aggregate
market value thereof on the date of allocation (plus the value
as finally determined for federal estate tax purposes of all
other property qualifying for the marital deduction) is at
least equal to the dollar value of the marital deduction as
finally determined for federal estate tax purposes.
11) To combine the assets of any separate trusts
under this Will into one or more administrative or investment
units for convenience of administration and investment.
12) To merge, following the death of my spouse,
any trust hereunder into any trust created by my spouse, by
Will or otherwise, or to receive by merger assets from any
trust created by my spouse, by Will or otherwise, provided such
trusts have the same beneficiaries and substantially similar
provisions.
13
13) To make distribution in cash or in kind or
partly in cash and partly in kind, and, except as otherwise
specifically directed, to allocate specific assets to or among
the beneficiaries, including any trusts hereunder, in such
manner or proportion as they may deem advisable; provided,
however, that this clause shall not be construed to permit them
to affect the value of the distribution to which any such
beneficiary may be entitled hereunder.
14) All powers granted to my Executors and
Trustees under this and other Sections of this Will are
exercisable only in a fiduciary capacity. No such power shall
be construed to enable any person to purchase, exchange or
otherwise deal with or dispose of any estate or trust asset for
less than adequate consideration.
15) To subscribe for stocks, bonds or other
investments; to join in any plan of lease, mortgage, merger,
consolidation, reorganization, foreclosure or voting trust and
deposit securities thereunder; to exercise options to purchase
stock and other property; and generally to exercise all the
rights of security holders of any corporation.
16) To register securities in street name or in
the name of a nominee or in such manner that title shall pass
14
by delivery and to vote, in person or by proxy, securities held
hereunder and in such connection to delegate discretionary
powers.
17) To purchase securities or other assets on
margin and to otherwise pledge assets held to finance any
investment activity hereunder, and to buy, sell or otherwise
deal in calls (covered or uncovered), puts or other options
with respect to securities or other property.
18) To make all reasonable compromises.
19) To participate in a public or private sale
of securities issued by any corporation; to join with other
shareholders in such a sale; to participate in the preparation
of registration statements, prospectuses and other documents in
connection with such a sale and to pay from other assets of my
estate or the trusts hereunder an equitable portion of the
expenses of such preparation; to make warranties respecting the
ownership of such securities and such other matters as may be
deemed advisable; to delegate to other persons the authority to
negotiate on behalf of my fiduciaries with underwriters in
connection with such a sale and to indemnify such underwriters
or purchasers against any loss arising out of an omission or
representation in such a prospectus or registration statement
15
or arising out of any other matter in connection with such a
sale; to pledge the assets of my estate or the trusts hereunder
as security for such indemnity; and to purchase and pay
premiums on any insurance against any loss arising in
connection with such a sale.
20) To act in any jurisdiction where permitted
by law to do so or to designate one or more persons, or a bank
or trust company, to be ancillary Executors or ancillary
Trustees in any jurisdiction in which ancillary administration
may be necessary; and to negotiate and determine the
compensation to be paid to any such ancillary Executors or
ancillary Trustees whether or not such compensation would
otherwise be authorized by law, and to pay such compensation
out of principal or income or both; and I hereby appoint the
ancillary Executors or ancillary Trustees so designated, and
direct that they shall not be required to post bond or enter
security in such jurisdiction; and I hereby grant to my
ancillary Executors or ancillary Trustees with respect to any
and all property subject to administration by them all of the
powers, authorities and discretion granted in this will to my
domiciliary Executor and Trustees, provided, however, that such
action as may require the investment of additional funds or the
16
assumption of additional obligations shall not be undertaken
without the written consent of my domiciliary Executor or
Trustees.
ITEM VIII-B: A portion or all of the property held
hereunder may consist of interests in closely held companies,
including corporations and partnerships (any such closely held
business or enterprise hereinafter called a "Company"), and my
Executor and Trustee are to have broad powers to hold, invest
in, and deal with any such Company. Accordingly, without
limiting the powers otherwise granted herein or conferred by
law, my Executor and Trustees are, in addition, authorized and
empowered with respect to any Company (such powers to be
effective until final distribution of all assets hereunder, as
follows:
1) To carryon any business owned or controlled
by me at my death for whatever period of time they shall think
proper, and they shall have the power to do any and all things
they deem necessary or appropriate, including the power to
delegate all or any part of the supervision, management, and
operation of the business to such person or persons as they may
select, and the power to close out, liquidate, or sell the
business at such time and upon such terms as they deem best.
17
My Executrix and Trustee shall not be held to personal
liability for shrinkage of income or loss of capital value that
may be incurred in the course of their operation of the
business, except loss that may result from their willful
misconduct. Notwithstanding the above, this power shall be
void and of no effect if it in any way reduces the marital
deduction.

interests) in a Company either for cash or with borrowed funds
and to retain all or part of any investment in a Company
without regard to the general fiduciary principle of investment
diversification, for such period of time as my Executor and
Trustee may deem advisable even though the Company may be
subject to wide fluctuations of earnings. My Executor and
Trustee may exercise the broadest judgment as to the best
course to follow in retaining or disposing of any such
investment even though the Company may be operated temporarily
at a loss, and shall not be liable for retaining such
investment in the absence of gross negligence, dishonesty or
bad faith.
3) To delegate to others all discretionary
powers to take any action with respect to the management and
18
affairs of a Company which an individual could delegate,

consolidation, reorganization, liquidation or dissolution of a
Company.

Company any person, including any individual Executor or
Trustee hereunder, or any director, officer or agent of any
corporate Executor or Trustee hereunder, and to compensate any
such person.
6) To rely on the reports (whether or not
certified) of certified public accountants as to the operation
and financial condition of a Company without independent
investigation.
7) To invest additional capital in, to subscribe
to or buy additional stock or securities of a Company, to make
loans to a Company upon such security as may be deemed
sufficient and to secure a loan to a Company by a pledge of the
interest therein, as well as other property held hereunder.
19
8) To sell or liquidate any interest in a
Company on such terms as my Executor and Trustee may deem
advisable, and to abandon an interest in a Company if deemed
advisable.
ITEM IX: Anything in this Will to the contrary
notwithstanding, any beneficiary under this Will may, at any
time and from time to time, release, renounce, or disclaim, in
whole or in part, or otherwise limit any power or interest
granted to such beneficiary under this Will, by written
instrument, duly signed, acknowledged before a Notary Public
and filed with my Executor or with the Trustee of any trust
hereunder.

In the event of disclaimer specifically referencinq

20
time may in like manner release, renounce or disclaim, in whole
or in part, or otherwise limit any power granted to such

payable because of my death, with respect to the property
passlng under this Will, but not otherwise, and forming my
gross estate for tax purposes, including any interest or
penalty imposed in connection with such tax, shall be paid out
of the non-marital residue of my estate, if any. Any such tax,
including interest or penalty imposed, due by virtue of taxable
property forming my gross estate but not passing under this
Will shall be paid directly from such property and shall not be
paid out of the marital or charitable deduction share of my
estate. It is my specific command and intent herein that no
property forming part of the marital or charitable deduction
21
share of my estate be utilized to payor be reduced by any
federal estate or Pennsylvania (or other state) inheritance or
estate taxes.
