I, RHUEYEBELLE D. SMIALEK, now of Mechanicsburg, Cumberland County,

Codicils made by me.
ITEM I. I direct that all of my just debts and funeral expenses, including the cost of
my gravemarker, if any, shall be paid for from my residuary estate as soon as practical after my decease
as an administrative expense of my estate.
ITEM II. I give and devise all of my estate of every nature and wherever situate, in
equal shares, unto my daughters, SUSAN S. BROY, LINDA M. SWEGER and RENEE M. SMIALEK,
or their issue, per stirpes. Should any of my daughters predecease me and die without issue, such
daughter's share shall be paid to my surviving daughter(s), or their issue, per stirpes.
ITEM III. Should issue of a child of mine inherit a portion of my estate, I give and
devise the share of such issue to E. RONALD IDXON, Hummelstown, Pennsylvania (hereinafter referred
to as "Trustee"), who shall hold the same, together with any other assets that may be added to this
trust (all of such assets hereinafter called the "principal") for such beneficiary.
A. Trustee shall invest and reinvest the principal or corpus of such Trust and shall pay
or apply so much of the income and so much ofthe principal as Trustee, in Trustee's sole discretion,

deems necessary to support such beneficiary in his or her accustomed manner of living, to meet such
beneficiary's medical, dental, hospital and nursing expenses or any expenses of invalidism and to meet
the expenses of such beneficiary's education including, but not limited to, preparatory, collegiate,
graduate or professional education provided such beneficiary maintains the required scholastic standards
of the institution or institutions attended.
B. When a trust has been in existence for ten (10) years, such trust shall terminate and
Trustee shall distribute the then remaining principal and any undistributed income of the trust held
for the benefit of such beneficiary absolutely to him or her at that time.
C. In the event that a beneficiary shall have died during the term of the trust herein
established, the remaining principal and any undistributed income of such trust shall be paid over to
such persons or organizations, including such beneficiary's estate, as beneficiary may appoint by Will
and, in the absence thereof, such beneficiary's heirs at law.
D. E. Ronald Hixon may resign as Trustee and appoint his successor by dwy executed
instrument. Showd he fail to qualify or cease to act as such Trustee and not appoint a Successor Trustee,
I appoint FULTON BANK, Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, as such Successor Trustee.
ITEM IV. I appoint my daughters, SUSAN S. BRaY, LINDA M. SWEGER and
RENEE SMIALEK, or the survivor(s) of them, Co-Executrices of this my Last Will and Testament.
No bond shall be required by my personal representative(s) in any jurisdiction.
ITEM V. In addition to the powers given by law to my personal representative(s) and
trustee( s) [hereinafter fiduciaries] in the administration of my estate and of any trust( s) created herein,

they shall have the following discretionary powers applicable to all real and personal property held
by them, including property held for minors, effective without court order until actual distribution.
A. To retain any property owned by me at my death and to invest any funds held by
them in any stocks, bonds, notes or other securities or property, real or personal, including common
trust funds, mutual funds and money market deposit accounts operated or offered by my corporate
trustee, if any, or any affiliate of it.
B. To sell or otherwise dispose of any property, real or personal, at any time forming
a part of my estate or the trust estate, for cash or upon credit, in such manner and on such terms as
they see fit, and no one dealing with the fiduciaries shall be bound to see to the application of any monies
paid.

the duration of the trust(s)] any real estate at any time held or owned by them as fiduciaries.
D. To hold investments in the name ofanominee and exercise and dispose of warrants.
E. To engage in litigation and compromise, arbitrate or abandon claims and property.
F. To conduct any business in which I am engaged or in which I have an interest at
the time of my death for such period as the fiduciaries deem advisable, with the power to borrow money
and to pledge the assets of the business and to do all other acts which I, in my lifetime, could have
done, or to delegate such powers to a partner, manager or employee without liability for any loss
occurring therein.
G. To allocate items of receipt or disbursement between principal and income as the

and to mortgage or pledge as security or to hold its own stock if a corporate trustee.
I. To join in any merger, reorganization, voting trust plan or other concerted action
of security holders, and to delegate discretionary duties with respect thereto.
J. Should the principal of any trust herein provided for be or become too small in trustee's
opinion so as to make establishment or continuance of the trust inadvisable, my trustee(s) may make
immediate distribution of the then remaining principal and any accumulated or undistributed income
outright to the person or persons and in the proportion they are then entitled to income. Upon such
termination, the rights of all beneficiary(ies) who might otherwise have an interest as succeeding income
beneficiary(ies) or in remainder shall cease.

out the purposes of this will or any trust(s) created herein.

or her comfort, maintenance and support, should the fiduciaries deem such beneficiary incapable of
receiving the same by reason of age, illness, infirmity or incapacity, or to pay the same to such person
or persons as the fiduciaries select to disburse it, whose receipt shall be a complete acquittance therefore
without the intervention of any guardian.
