ARTICLE ONE ...., I declare that I am not married. r-) . ~---) --.~ ARTICLE TWO ;",) -..j I have no children. ARTICLE THREE r.) f',.) I direct the payment from my estate of the expenses of my last illness and funeral as soon after my death as conveniently may be done. ARTICLE FOUR I give the rest, residue and remainder of my estate, of whatsoever nature and wheresoever situate to COLONIAL PARK lJNITED METHODIST CHURCH, 430 Colonial Road, Harrisburg, Dauphin County, Pennsylvania 17109. ARTICLE FIVE No beneficiary or remainderman under this Will or any codicil hereto or any trust created hereunder shall have any right to alienate, encumber or hypothecate his or her interest in this Will or any trust created hereunder in any manner, nor shall any interest of any beneficiary or 1 remainderman be subject to claims of his or her creditors or liable to attachment, execution or other process of law. ARTICLE SIX I appoint HARRY AUGHINBAUGH, as Executor of my Will. If HARRY AUGHINBAUGH is unable or unwilling to serve, I appoint JANE KOHN, as Executrix of my Will. I give to my Executor, in addition to and not in limitation of the powers given by law or by other provisions of this Will, the following powers with respect to settlement of my estate to be exercised from time to time in the discretion of my Executor, without further order or license of the Register of Wills or of any court: 1. To retain any property, pending distribution hereunder, to invest in or purchase any property without restriction to legal investments for fiduciaries, to distribute property in kind, to compromise claims, and to sell any property at public or private sale; 2. To borrow money from any person including any fiduciary acting hereunder, and to mortgage or pledge any real or personal property; 3. To engage in litigation and compromise, arbitrate or abandon claims; 4. To make distributions in cash, or in kind at current values, or partly in each, allocating specific assets to particular distributees on a non-prorata basis, and for such purposes to make reasonable determinations of current values; 5. To make elections, decisions, concessions and settlements in connection with all income, estate, inheritance, gift or other tax returns and the payment of such taxes, without obligation to adjust the distributive share of income or principal of any person affected thereby; 6. To invest and reinvest in every kind of property and investment which persons of 2 prudence, discretion and intelligence acquire for their own accounts; 7. To manage, control, repair and improve all real property; 8. To procure and carry at the expense of the estate insurance of the kinds, forms and amounts deemed advisable by the Executor to protect the Executor and the estate against any hazard; 9. To pay all taxes, assessments, fees of the Executor and all other expenses incurred in the collection, care, administration and protection of the estate; 10. To exercise such powers, herein conferred, after the termination of the trust estate until final distribution of the estate assets; 11. To do all the acts, to take all the proceedings, and to exercise all the rights, powers and privileges which an absolute owner of the property would have, subject always to the discharge of their fiduciary obligations; the enumeration of certain powers in this Will shall not limit the general or implied powers of the Executor; the Executor shall have all additional powers that may now or hereafter be conferred on them by law or that may be necessary to enable the Executor to administer the estate in accordance with the provisions of this Will, subject to any limitations specified in this Will. No bond shall be required of any fiduciary hereunder in any jurisdiction. No fiduciary hereunder shall have any liability for any mistake or error of judgment made in good faith. My Executor shall receIve reasonable compensation for her servIces performed as determined by the court in which this Will is admitted to probate. 3 ARTICLE SEVEN I realize that Executors are given discretion by law to make various elections which affect the income and estate taxes payable by estates and beneficiaries, as well as the relative shares of beneficiaries, such as taking administration expenses as deductions for either estate or income tax purposes, selecting options for the payment of employee death benefits, electing to take a qualified terminable interest as part of the marital deduction, selecting alternate valuation dates, postponing the payment of taxes, filing joint income tax or gift tax returns and redeeming corporate stock. The decisions made by my fiduciaries in any of these matters shall be binding upon, and not subject to question by, any affected persons. I rely upon my fiduciaries to take into consideration the total income and estate taxes payable by reason of their decisions including those payable by my survivors, and they are authorized in their discretion, but not required, to make adjustments between income and principal as a result thereof. ARTICLE EIGHT I direct that all estate, inheritance and other taxes in the nature thereof, together with any interest and penalties thereon, becoming payable because of my death with respect to the property constituting my gross estate for death tax purposes, whether or not such property passes under this my Last Will and Testament, shall be paid from the principal of my residuary estate, and no person receiving or having a beneficial interest in any such property, whether under this my Last Will and Testament or otherwise, shall at any time be required to contribute to or refund any part thereof; PROVIDED, however, that this direction shall not apply to the taxes on any property included in my estate solely because of a power of appointment thereover which I possess but have not 4 exercised or on any qualified terminable interest or to any generation-skipping transfer taxes. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have at Middletown, Pennsylvania, this 1. 6l-:!::Qay of June, 2003, set my hand and seal to this my Last Will and Testament, consisting of six (6) pages. l '-/ ..z.jQ), ~~-,_, iJ_ i \., l---CJcr-~. , WILLIAM DEAN MA TIER SIGNED, SEALED, PUBLISHED and DECLARED by WILLIAM DEAN MATTER, the above named Testator, as and for his Last Will and Testament, in the presence of us, who, at his request and in his presence, and in the presence of each other, have hereunto subscribed our names as witnesses.
