N
I, AMY JEAN CONRAD, of Camp Hill, Cumberland County, Pennsylv~,
being of sound mind and disposing memory, though I realize the uncertainty of this life, I have full
confidence and trust in my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, in His death on the cross for my sins and
in His shed blood as an atonement for my soul; and I know by faith that because of His sacrifice on
the cross for me I have eternal life, do hereby make this Will, hereby revoking all my former Wills
and Codicils:
Article One: Tangible Personal Property:
S 1.1 I bequeath all my tangible personal property in accordance with the terms of
a personal property memorandum I may prepare. If no personal property memorandum is located
or received by the Executor within 60 days after being appointed, after conducting a reasonable
search for the memorandum, the Executor shall be held harmless for distributing such property as
hereinafter provided.
S 1.2 I bequeath the tangible personal property not disposed of by the personal
property memorandum, or all of such property if no such memorandum is located, to be divided
between my sister-in-law, Nancy Ruth Hickey, ofDanville, PA, and my neighbor and friend, Carol
Groff, of Camp Hill, P A, with each taking turns selecting items, with Nancy to make the first
selection. Any items not selected shall be sold and pass as a part of my residuary estate.
Article Two: Residue:
S2.1 I devise and bequeath all the residue of my estate of whatever nature and
wherever situated as follows:
S2.1.1 Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000.00) to my sister-in-law, Nancy Ruth Hickey,
per stirpes.

~2.1.2 All the rest of my estate shall be divided into two equal shares and
distributed as follows:
a. One share as a charitable bequest to my present church, St. Luke's
Episcopal Church, Mechanicsburg, P A, for the general Christian ministry
of the church; and,
b. One share as a charitable bequest to my home church, Christ
Memorial Episcopal Church, Danville, P A, for the general Christian
ministry of the church.
Article Three: Provision for Debts and Expenses:
I direct that any of my legally enforceable debts, any expenses of my last illness,
funeral and burial, and any of the administrative expenses of my estate shall be paid from the
principal of that portion of my estate disposed of by Article Two of this Will.
Article Four: Appointment of Fiduciaries:
~4.l I appoint my friend, John H. Groff, of Camp Hill, P A, Executor of this Will.
If John H. Groff should be unwilling or unable so to serve, then I appoint my sister-in-law, Nancy
Ruth Hickey, of Danville, P A as first, contingent Executrix. All references herein to the "Executor"
shall mean my originally appointed Executor or any successor Executrix, as the case may be.
Article Five: Powers of Fiduciaries:
~5.1 No fiduciary under this Will shall be required to give bond or other security for
the faithful performance of his duties.
~5.2 Any such fiduciary shall have the following powers, in addition to those given
by law:
~5.2.1 To invest in, accept and retain any real or personal property, including
stock of a corporate fiduciary or its holding company, without restriction to legal
investments;
~5.2.2 To sell, exchange, partition or lease for any period of time any real or
personal property and to give options therefor for cash or credit, with or without
security;
~5.2.3 To borrow money from any person including any fiduciary acting
hereunder, and to mortgage or pledge any real or personal property;
2
S5.2.4 To hold shares of stock or other securities in nominee registration
form, including that of a clearing corporation or depository, or in book entry form or
unregistered or in such other form as will pass by delivery;
S5.2.5 To engage in litigation and compromise, arbitrate or abandon claims;
S5.2.6 To make distributions in cash, or in kind at current values, or partly
in each, allocating specific assets to particular distributes on a non-pro rata basis, and
for such purposes to make reasonable determinations of current values;
S5.2.7 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;
S5.2.8 To allocate, in the Executor's sole and absolute discretion, any portion
of my exemption under Section 2631(a) of the Internal Revenue Code to any property
as to which I am the transferor, including any property transferred by me during my
lifetime as to which I did not make an allocation prior to my death;
S5.2.9 To create, except when the fiduciary is a beneficiary ofthe subject
trust, with respect to all or any part of the principal of any trust hereunder, including
a pecuniary amount, by a written instrument a general testamentary power of
appointment within the meaning of Section 2041 of the Internal Revenue Code in any
beneficiary thereof and to eliminate such power for all or any part of such principal
as to which such power was previously created and to divide trust principal into two
fractional shares based upon the then portion of the trust that would be includable in
the gross estate of the beneficiary holding such power ifhe died immediately before
such division (in which case the power shall be over the entire principal of one share
and not the other), with each share being administered as a separate trust, unless such
fiduciary shall thereafter elect to combine such separate trusts into a single trust; to
exercise the foregoing discretion to create or eliminate a general testamentary power
of appointment when such fiduciary determines that the inclusion of the property
affected thereby in the beneficiary's gross estate may achieve a significant savings
in transfer taxes by having a federal estate tax in lieu of a Chapter 13 tax imposed by
the Internal Revenue Code on the property subject to such power of appointment or
may achieve significant income tax benefits;
S5.2.10 To disclaim any interest I may have in any estate if the Executor
deems such disclaimer to be in the best interests of my estate and the beneficiaries
thereof;
S5.2.11 To terminate any trust created herein, the principal of which is or
3
becomes too small in the Trustee's discretion to make the establishment or
continuance of the trust advisable, and to make immediate distribution of the then
remaining trust property to the beneficiary then entitled to the income of the trust
property or, ifthere is more than one beneficiary, to the beneficiaries then entitled to
the income of the trust property in proportion to their respective interests therein
or, if such interests are not defined, in equal shares to such beneficiaries; provided,
however, no Trustee shall participate in any decision to terminate such trust if by
reason of such termination such trustee could receive a distribution of trust property
from such trust as aforesaid. The receipts and releases of the distributee(s) will
terminate absolutely the right of all persons who might otherwise have a future
interest in the trust, whether vested or contingent, without notice to them and without
the necessity of filing an account in any court; and
S5.2.12 To merge any trust created hereunder with any other trust or trusts
created by me or my spouse under will or deed, if the terms of any such trust are then
substantially similar and held for the primary benefit of the same person or persons.
Article Six: Provision for Taxes:
S6.1 All estate taxes, inheritance taxes, transfer taxes and other taxes of a similar
nature payable by reason of my death to any government or subdivision thereof upon or with respect
to any property subject to any such tax ("Death Taxes"), and any penalties thereon, shall be paid
by the Executor out of the principal of that portion of my estate disposed of by Article Two of this
Will, and all interest with respect to any such taxes shall be paid by the Executor out of the income
or principal or partly out of the income and partly out of the principal of such portion of my estate,
in the absolute discretion of the Executor, without reimbursement from or apportionment among
the beneficiaries, recipients or owners of such property for any such taxes, penalties or interest;
provided, however, the Executor shall not pay any such taxes, penalties or interest attributable to any
property included in my estate solely because of a power of appointment thereover which I possess
but have not exercised or any qualified terminable interest property; provided further, however, the
Executor shall not pay any supplemental federal estate tax, or any penalties or interest related thereto,
imposed by Section 4980A(d) of the Internal Revenue Code, which supplemental federal estate tax,
together with any penalties or interest related thereto, shall be borne by the recipients of the qualified
plan benefit (including my estate if it is a recipient of any such benefit) giving rise to such
supplemental federal estate tax in proportion to their respective interests therein.
4
Article Seven: Miscellaneous Provisions:
S7.1 As used in this Will, the term "Internal Revenue Code" shall mean the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended from time to time, or the corresponding provision of subsequent
law..
S7.2 Whenever the Trustee is directed to distribute property to or for the benefit of
any beneficiary who is under (a) eighteen years of age, or (b) a legal disability or otherwise suffers
from an illness or mental or physical disability that would make distribution directly to such
beneficiary inappropriate (as determined in the Trustee's sole discretion exercised in good faith), the
Trustee may distribute such property to the person who has custody of such beneficiary, may apply
such property for the benefit of such beneficiary, may distribute such property to a custodian for such
beneficiary, whether then serving or selected and appointed by the Trustee (including the Trustee),
under any applicable Uniform Transfers to Minors Act or Uniform Gifts to Minors Act, may
distribute such property directly to such beneficiary's estate, or may distribute such property
directly to such beneficiary (except if any of the conditions hereinbefore described in (b) apply),
without liability on the part of the Trustee to see to the application of such property. This provision
shall not in any way operate to suspend such beneficiary's absolute ownership of such property or
to prevent the absolute vesting thereof in such beneficiary.
S7.3 Except as otherwise may be provided in this Will, during the continuance of any
of the trusts created under the provisions of this Will, and thereafter until the property is distributed
to and received by any beneficiary hereunder, the principal sums thus held in trust for any
beneficiary, respectively, and the income thereof shall not be subject to or liable for any contracts,
debts, engagements, liabilities or torts of such beneficiary now or hereafter made, contracted,
incurred or committed, but shall be absolutely free from the same, and such beneficiary shall have
no power to sell, assign or encumber all or any part of the principal sums or such beneficiary's
interest therein, respectively, or the income thereof, or to anticipate the income.
5
97.4 If any beneficiary hereunder should die within thirty (30) days after me or within
thirty (30) days after any other person the survival of whom determines his rights hereunder, then
such beneficiary shall be deemed to have predeceased me or such other person for all purposes
hereunder.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I, AMY JEAN CONRAD, have hereunto set my hand
and seal to this, my last Will, typewritten on seven (7) sheets of paper, including the self-proving
attestation clause and signatures of witnesses, this 2- <-1 /J day of n A )I , 2000.
