Tangible Personal Property
A. General Gift of Tangibles. I give all my tangible personal property as

proceeds of any such sale to my estate. I give the balance of such property to such of my children
as survive me, to be divided among them as they may agree in as nearly equal shares as
practicable, or in the absence of agreement, as my Executor (excluding, however, any Executor
who is a child of mine) shall determine.

3. If my Wife does not survive me, to my descendants who survive
me, per stirpes.
B. Simultaneous Death. If my Wife and I die simultaneously or under such
circumstances that the order of our deaths cannot be determined, she shall be deemed to have
survived me for purposes of this article.
\
ARTICLE V
Credit-Shelter Trust
Property that is to be held as the Credit-Shelter Trust shall be held under this
article and all references to "Credit-Shelter Trust" shall be to the trust held under this article.
A. During My Wife's Life. The following provisions shall apply during my
Wife's life:
1. The Trustee shall distribute to my Wife the net income of the trust
at least annually.
2. The Trustee shall distribute to one or more of my Wife and my
descendants as much of the principal of the trust as the Trustee may from time to time determine,
in such amounts or proportions as the Trustee may from time to time select, for the recipient's
health, education and support in his or her accustomed manner of living or maintenance.
3. If my Wife is living on December 31 of each year and so directs,
the Trustee shall distribute to my Wife the greater of that amount referred to in Code Sec.
2514(e)(1) (currently, five thousand dollars ($5,000.00)) or that percentage referred to in Code
Sec. 2514(e)(2) (currently, five percent (5%)) of the trust on that date. This right shall not
accumulate from year to year and the limitation determined with reference to Code Sec.
2514(e)(1) (currently, five thousand dollars ($5,000.00)) shall be reduced to any smaller limit
-3-
-~r
that would result from taking into account first all other powers held by my Wife that must,
under Code Sec. 2514( e), be aggregated to determine the largest lapse that can occur without
being treated as a release.
4. The Trustee may consider the needs of my Wife as more important
than the needs of my descendants or any other beneficiary.
B. Upon My Wife's Death. Upon the death of my Wife, the property then
held in the Credit-Shelter Trust shall be distributed as follows:
1. to my descendants then living, per stirpes
C. Spouse's Disclaimer. If my Wife disclaims her interest in the income
and principal of all or a portion of the Credit-Shelter Trust, the disclaimed property shall be
disposed of as if she had survived me and died immediately after my death. If my Wife makes a
disclaimer limited to her right to mandatory income payments from the Credit-Shelter Trust as to
all or a portion of the income of the trust, the disclaimed net income shall be disposed of by the
Trustee under terms identical to those that apply to distributions of principal above, and any
income not so distributed shall from time to time be accumulated and added to principal.
ARTICLE VI
Takers of Last Resort
My Executor or the Trustee shall distribute any property that is not otherwise
disposed of under my Will to the persons who would have inherited my personal estate, and in
the shares that they would have inherited it had I died a resident of the Commonwealth of
Pennsylvania, unmarried and without a valid will, on the date on which expires the interest of the
last beneficiary of the property under this Will.
ARTICLE VII
Maximum Duration for Trusts
The Maximum Duration for Trusts means the longest period that property may be
-4-
,~~
held in trust under this Will under the applicable rules governing perpetuities, vesting,
accumulations, the suspension of alienation, and the like (including any applicable period in
gross such as twenty-one (21) years or ninety (90) years). If under those rules the Maximum
Duration for Trusts shall be determined (or alternatively determined) with reference to the death
of the last survivor of a group of individuals alive on the date of my death, those individuals shall
consist of my surviving Wife, all of my descendants living on the date of my death, and any
surviving spouse ofa descendant of mine ifboth the descendant and the spouse were living on
the date of my death. In the case of any property I have appointed to a trust under this Will from
another trust by exercising a power over the other trust, the date for determining measuring lives
with respect to that property shall be the date that my power was created (rather than on the date
of my death).
ARTICLE VIII
Executors and Trustees
A. Initial Appointments.
1. I appoint my Wife, Martha W. Grady, to be an Executor .ofthis
Will and Trustee of each trust under this Will.
2. Multiple Executors or Trustees, whether named by me or by
another Executor or Trustee, shall serve together and each may serve even if one or more of them
shall fail or cease to serve for any reason.
B. Successors.
1. I appoint Stephen P Grady to be the Successor Executor of this
Will and the Successor Trustee of each trust under this Will, if and when all persons I have
previously named shall fail to qualify or cease to act.
2. Any reference to "Executor" includes any successor, unless
expressly indicated.
-5-
.~
3. A successor Executor shall be entitled to serve based on the
following rules:
a. first, each Executor named by me in this Will shall be
entitled to serve;
b. second, a successor Executor named by me in this Will
shall be entitled to serve;
c. third, a then-serving Co-Executor effectively appointed by
another Executor shall be entitled to continue serving;
d. fourth, a successor effectively appointed by another
Executor shall be entitled to serve.
4. Separate trusts hereunder may have different trustees pursuant to
these provisions.
5. In the event that the sole Trustee of a trust is a beneficiary ofthe
trust, the Trustee may appoint but shall not be required to appoint a Co-Trustee as provided
herein. A beneficiary's interest shall not be merged or converted into a legal life estate or estate
for years because the beneficiary is the sole Trustee, but if this would still happen under
applicable law, then a Co-Trustee shall be appointed in preference to such merger or conversion.
C. Additional Provisions Regarding Changes in Fiduciaries.
1. Any Executor or Trustee may resign at any time without court
approval and whether or not a successor has been appointed.
2. Each individual Executor and Trustee (including successors) shall
have the right to appoint a successor individual Executor or Trustee by an instrument in writing,
such appointment to take effect upon the death, resignation or incapacity of the appointing
Executor or Trustee. An appointment may be changed or revoked until it takes effect. If I have
named a successor or successors to the appointing Executor or Trustee in this Will, the
-6-
~
appointment of a successor under this paragraph shall take effect only if and when all persons
that I have appointed fail to qualify or cease to act.
3. The individuals (and any corporation) acting as my Executor or the
Trustee may at any time acting unanimously by written instrument appoint an individual or a
corporation with fiduciary powers as a Co-Executor or Co-Trustee.
4. If the office of Executor or Trustee of a trust is vacant, and no
successor takes office pursuant to any other provision of this Will, an individual or corporation
with fiduciary powers may be appointed as Executor or Trustee by my Wife if then living and
competent, otherwise by a majority of my adult descendants then living and competent.
5. An Executor or Trustee may be appointed pursuant to this article
for a limited purpose or to hold only specified powers.
D. Accountings and Other Proceedings.
1. I direct that my estate or a trust hereunder be subject to
independent administration with as little court supervision as the law allows. My Executor and
the Trustee shall not be required to render to any court annual or other periodic accounts, or any
inventory, appraisal, or other returns or reports, except as required by applicable state law. My
Executor and the Trustee shall take such action for the settlement or approval of accounts at such
times and before such courts or without court proceedings as my Executor or the Trustee shall
determine. My Executor or the Trustee shall pay the costs and expenses of any such action or
proceeding, including (but not limited to) the compensation and expenses of attorneys and
guardians, out of the property of my estate or the trust. The Trustee shall not be required to
register any trust hereunder.
2. I direct that in any proceeding relating to my estate or a trust
hereunder, service upon any person under a legal disability need not be made when another
person not under a disability is a party to the proceeding and has the same interest as the person
-7-
~~
under the disability. The person under the disability shall nevertheless be bound by the results of
the proceeding. The same rule shall apply to non-judicial settlements, releases, exonerations, and
indemnities.
E. Fiduciary Powers. My Executor and the Trustee may, without prior
authority from any court, exercise all powers conferred by this Will or by common law or by any
fiduciary powers act or other statute of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania or any other
jurisdiction whose law applies to this Will or to any trust hereby created. My Executor and the
Trustee shall have absolute discretion in exercising these powers. Except as specifically limited
by this Will, these powers shall extend to all property held by my Executor and the Trustee until
the actual distribution of the property. The powers of my Executor and the Trustee shall include
the following powers:
1. My Executor or the Trustee may sell or exchange any real or
personal property contained in my estate, for cash or credit, at public or private sale, and with
such warranties or indemnifications as my Executor or the Trustee may deem advisable.
2. My Executor or the Trustee may grant security interests and
execute all instruments creating such interests upon such terms as my Executor or the Trustee
may deem advisable.
3. My Executor or the Trustee may make all tax elections and
allocations my Executor or the Trustee may consider appropriate, including any election to treat
a revocable trust created by me as part of my estate for income tax purposes; however, this
authority is exercisable only in a fiduciary capacity and may not be used to enlarge or shift any
beneficial interest except as an incidental consequence of the discharge of fiduciary duties. Tax
elections and allocations made in good faith shall not require equitable adjustments.
4. My Executor or the Trustee may distribute any of my estate to a
beneficiary under twenty-one (21) years of age by distribution to any appropriate person (who
may be an Executor) chosen by my Executor or the Trustee as custodian under any appropriate
-8-
~fr'
Uniform Transfers (or Gifts) to Minors Act, to be held for the maximum period of time allowed
by law. My Executor or the Trustee may also sell any asset that cannot be held under this
custodianship and invest the sales proceeds in assets that can be so held.
5. My Executor or the Trustee may divide and distribute the assets of
my estate in kind, in money, or partly in each, without regard to the income tax basis of any asset
and without the consent of any beneficiary. The decision of my Executor or the Trustee in
dividing any portion of my estate between or among multiple beneficiaries shall be binding on all
persons.
F. Exoneration from Security. No Executor or Trustee shall be required to
give bond or other security in any jurisdiction, and if despite this exoneration a bond is
nevertheless required, no sureties shall be required.
G. Additional General Provisions Regarding Fiduciaries.
1. "Interested Trustee" means for any trust a Trustee who is (i) a
transferor of property to the trust, including a person whose qualified disclaimer resulted in
property passing to the trust; or (ii) a person who is or in the future may be eligible to receive
income or principal pursuant to the terms of the trust. A Trustee described in (i) is an Interested
Trustee only with respect to the transferred property (including income and gain on, and
reinvestment of, such property). A person is described in (ii) even ifhe or she has a remote
contingent remainder interest. A Trustee who is not an Interested Trustee is a "Disinterested
Trustee. "
2. My Executor may make distributions directly from my estate to
beneficiaries of a trust hereunder, but only at the direction of the Trustee authorized to make such
distributions.
3. Under this Will, if two or more separate trusts with the same
beneficiaries and same terms are created, either by direction or pursuant to the exercise of
discretion, I intend that the separate trusts may but need not have the same investments and may
-9-
~
but need not follow the same pattern of distributions. The Trustee's powers shall be exercisable
separately with respect to each trust.
4. Except to the extent specifically provided otherwise in this Will,
references to my Executor or the Trustee shall, in their application to my estate or a trust
hereunder, refer to all those from time to time acting as Executors or Trustees of that Trust and if
two or more Executors or Trustees are eligible to act on a given matter they shall act by majority.
In the exercise of discretion over distributions, if this Will provides that certain Trustees may
participate in distributions limited by an ascertainable standard, while a different set of Trustees
may participate in distributions for any purpose, if the two sets of Trustees (each acting by its
own majority) want to distribute the same item of income or principal to different recipients, the
distribution desired by the set of Trustees participating in distributions for any purpose shall
prevail.
5. Individual Executors and Trustees shall receive compensation in
accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania in effect at the time of
payment, unless the Executor or Trustee waives compensation; provided that my Wife and
descendants shall serve without compensation. A corporate Executor or Trustee shall be
compensated by agreement with the individual Executor or Trustee or in the absence of such
agreement in accordance with its fee schedule as in effect at the time of payment. I authorize a
corporate Executor or Trustee to charge additional fees for services it provides to my estate or a
trust hereunder that are not comprised within its duties as Executor or Trustee, for example, a fee
charged by a mutual fund it administers in which my estate or a trust hereunder invests, or a fee
for providing an appraisal, or a fee for providing corporate finance or investment banking
services. I also recognize that a corporate Executor or Trustee may charge separately for some
services comprised within its duties as Executor or Trustee, for example a separate fee for
investing cash balances or preparing tax returns. Such separate charges shall not be treated as
-10-
~
improper or excessive merely because they are added on to a basic fee in calculating total
compensation for service as Executor or Trustee. Insurance proceeds and retirement benefits
.
payable to my estate shall not be subject to Executor's compensation.
6. No Executor or Trustee shall be liable to anyone for anything done
or not done by any other Executor or Trustee or by any beneficiary.
7. The fact that an Executor or Trustee is active in the investment
business shall not be deemed a conflict of interest, and purchases and sales of investments may
be made through a corporate Executor or Trustee or through any firm of which a corporate or
individual Executor or Trustee is a partner, shareholder, proprietor, associate, employee, owner,
subsidiary, affiliate or the like, and property of my estate or a trust hereunder may be invested in
individual securities, mutual funds, partnerships, private placements, or other forms of
investment promoted, underwritten, managed, or advised by an Executor or Trustee or such a
firm.
8. My Executor and the Trustee shall not be under any duty to
diversify investments regardless of any rule of law requiring diversification.
9. The fact that an Executor or Trustee (or a firm of which an
Executor or Trustee is a member or with which an Executor or Trustee is otherwise affiliated)
renders legal or other professional services to my estate or a trust hereunder shall not be deemed
a conflict of interest, and my Executor or the Trustee may pay fees for such services to such
Executor or Trustee or firm without prior approval of any court or any beneficiary and whether
or not there is a Co-Executor or Co-Trustee to approve such paYment. An attorney or other
Executor or Trustee who also renders professional services shall receive full compensation for
both services as Executor or Trustee and the professional services rendered, except as specifically
limited by law.
10. No state law restraint on acts of self-dealing by a fiduciary shall
apply to an Executor or Trustee who is my Wife or a descendant of mine. Except when
-11-
prohibited by another provision of this Will, such an Executor or Trustee may enter into
transactions on behalf of my estate or a trust hereunder in which that Executor or Trustee is
personally interested so long as the terms of such transaction are fair to my estate or the trust.
For example, such an Executor or Trustee may purchase property from my estate or the trust at
its fair market value without court approval.
11. If I have given the Trustee discretion concerning distributions of
income or principal, that discretion shall be absolute and uncontrolled, and subject to correction
by a court only if the Trustee should act utterly without reason, or in bad faith, or in violation of
specific provisions of this Will. In have set forth general guidelines (as opposed to directions or
dollar limits) for the Trustee in making distributions, those guidelines shall be merely suggestive
and shall not create an enforceable standard whereby a distribution could be criticized or
compelled. It is my strong belief that the Trustee will be in the best position to interpret and
carry out the intentions expressed herein under changing circumstances. This paragraph shall not,
however, apply to any standards framed in terms of health, education, support (including support
in an accustomed manner of living) or maintenance as those words shall create an ascertainable
standard for federal tax purposes when applied to a trustee's power or a power held individually,
although even in those cases the holder of the power shall have as much discretion as consistent
therewith. An Interested Trustee may exercise discretion to make distributions to himself or
herself subject to an ascertainable standard notwithstanding any contrary rule oflaw.
12. Notwithstanding any other provision ofthis Will, each Trustee is
prohibited from making, voting on, or otherwise participating in any discretionary distribution of
income or principal from a trust that would discharge or substitute for a legal obligation of that
trustee, including the obligation to support a beneficiary of the trust. Subject to that, in
exercising discretion over distributions, the Trustee may consider, or may disregard, other
resources available to any beneficiary.
-12-

13. Unless I have specifically provided otherwise, and subject to any
ascertainable standard governing its exercise, the Trustee's discretionary power to distribute
income or principal includes the power to distribute all of such income and/or principal to one or
more members of a class to the exclusion of others whether or not the terms of the trust
specifically mention that possibility.
14. A Trustee may irrevocably release one or more powers held by the
Trustee while retaining other powers.
15. Any Executor or Trustee may delegate to a Co-Executor or Co-
Trustee any power held by the delegating Executor or Trustee, but only if the Co-Executor or
Co-Trustee is authorized to exercise the power delegated. A delegation may be revocable, but
while it is in effect the delegating Executor or Trustee shall have no responsibility concerning the
exercise of the delegated power.

(2) physicians, each of whom has personally examined the trustee and at least one (1) of whom is

has personally examined the trustee and at least one (1) of whom is board certified in the
specialty most closely associated with the former disability.
