LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT OF
EDNA A. HOVETTER
'."::1
(-)
C)
I, EDNA A. HOVETTER, of Shippensburg, Cumbe~~and ~~unty,
:];c. CJ
Pennsylvania, declare this to be my Last will and Testament,
and revoke any and all wills and Codicils made by me.
ITEM I: I direct that all my just debts and funeral
expenses, including my grave marker and all expenses of my last
illness, shall be paid from my residuary estate as soon as
practicable after my decease, as a part of the expense of
administration of my estate.
ITEM II: I give my household and personal effects and
other tangible personal property of like nature to my spouse,
WILLIAM F. HOVETTER, JR., if he survives me, together with all
insurance policies thereon, if any. If my spouse, WILLIAM F.
HOVETTER, JR., does not survive me, I give such property to
those of my children who survive me, in approximately equal
shares.
ITEM III: If my spouse, WILLIAM F. HOVETTER, JR.,
survives me, I give, devise and bequeath to my Trustee,
hereinafter named, to be held IN TRUST, during the life of my
said spouse, WILLIAM F. HOVETTER, JR., a sum 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 against
federal estate tax allowable to my estate on the date of my
death (the "credit shelter amount"), reduced by the aggregate
of (1) all items includable in my estate for federal estate tax
purposes which either are disposed of in previous articles of
this Will or pass outside of this will but only if such items
do not qualify for the federal estate tax marital deduction or
the federal estate tax charitable deduction, and (2) the amount
of any administration expenses claimed as income tax rather
than estate tax deductions and (3) the amount of any state
death taxes payable by my estate. This trust shall be referred
to and known as my Credit Shelter Trust. The aforementioned
sum shall be held for the following uses and purposes:
A. To pay the income to him in convenient
installments, at least quarter-annually.
B. The Trustee may apply the net income of this
trust for the benefit of my said spouse should he by
reason of age or illness be incapable of disbursing it.
C. As much of the principal of this trust as the
Trustee, in its sole and absolute discretion may from time
to time think advisable for the support of my spouse to
maintain him in the station of life to which he is
accustomed at my death and after taking into consideration
his other readily available assets and sources of income,
including any benefits he may enjoy from Social Security,
Medicare, and Medicaid programs, benefits from the trust
established in Item IV of this Will, or during illness or
emergency, may be either paid to him or applied directly
for him. I direct that my Trustee make no distribution
from Credit Shelter Trust principal which would reduce the
2
benefit to which my spouse would otherwise be entitled
under any governmental program, including Social Security,
Medicare and Medicaid.
D. Upon the death of my spouse, WILLIAM F. HOVETTER,
JR., the then-remaining principal and any accumulated or
undistributed income shall be distributed in equal shares,
one share to each of my children, TIMOTHY G. HOVETTER and
THOMAS L. HOVETTER, or their issue, per stirpes (including
my step-grandchild, NICOLE L. GROVE, who shall be regarded
under this will as the issue of my son, Timothy); PROVIDED
that if any beneficiary entitled to distribution shall
then be under age twenty-eight (28), the share of such
beneficiary shall be held by the Trustee, IN FURTHER
SEPARATE TRUST, for the following uses and purposes:
1. If the beneficiary is under age eighteen
(18), to expend and apply so much of the net income (any
income not expended or applied to be accumulated and added
to principal) and so much of the principal of each trust
as the Trustee, after consultation with the guardian of
said beneficiary, shall consider advisable for the
support, maintenance and education (including college
education, both graduate and undergraduate).
2. After the beneficiary attains the age of
eighteen (18), thereafter to pay to such beneficiary the
net income together with so much of the principal thereof
as Trustee shall consider advisable for the support and
3
education (including college education, both graduate and
undergraduate) of such beneficiary, after taking into
consideration his other readily available assets and
sources of income.
3. Up to one-third (1/3) of the then-remaining
principal and accumulated income of that beneficiary's
share at age twenty-two (22) on the request of the
beneficiary shall be distributed to him at or after age
twenty-two (22); up to one-half (1/2) of the then-
remaining principal and accumulated income of his share at
age twenty-six (26) at his request shall be distributed to
him at or after age twenty-six (26); and up to the entire
balance of principal and accumulated income then remaining
of his share at his request shall be distributed to that
beneficiary at or after age twenty-eight (28).
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.
4. If any beneficiary shall die before
receiving final distribution of his entire share, the
undistributed balance 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 shall be held in FURTHER SEPARATE
4
TRUST governed by the terms stated in ITEM III-D 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 default of any such
issue, then to my then-living children or their issue, per
stirpes, the share of any child whose original share is
then being held IN TRUST to be added to and treated as
part of that trust.
E. I direct that my Executor and his successors
shall not elect that this trust be included in my spouse's
estate as a part of the marital deduction. This direction
shall also apply as to sums added by virtue of a
disclaimer by my spouse, pursuant to Items VI and VIII
hereof.
ITEM IV: If my spouse, WILLIAM F. HOVETTER, JR., survives
me, I give, devise and bequeath the rest, residue and remainder
of my estate of every nature and wherever situate to my
Trustee, hereinafter named, to be held in Trust during the life
of my said spouse for the following uses and purposes:
A. To pay the income derived from the principal to
my spouse in convenient installments, at least quarter-
annually.
B. The Trustee may apply the net income of this
5
trust for the benefit of my said spouse should he by
reason of age or illness be incapable of disbursing it.
C. As much of the principal of this trust as the
Trustee, in its sole and absolute discretion may from time
to time think advisable for the support of my spouse to
maintain him in the station of life to which he is
accustomed at my death and after taking into consideration
his other readily available assets and sources of income,
including any benefits he may enjoy from Social Security,
Medicare, and Medicaid programs, or during illness or
emergency, may be either paid to him or else be applied
directly for him. For purposes of invading principal, the
principal of this Trust shall be exhausted prior to the
Trustee invading principal from the Credit Shelter Trust
established in Item III hereof.
D. My spouse may at any time by written notice
require my Trustee to either make any non-productive
property hereof productive or convert such non-productive
property to productive property within a reasonable time.
E. My Executor shall be authorized, in his sole,
exclusive and unrestricted discretion, to determine
whether to elect (under Section 2056(b)(7) of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1954, as amended, or any corresponding
provision of state law) to qualify all or a specific
portion of this Trust for the federal estate tax marital
deduction and any marital deduction available under the
6
law of the state in which I am domiciled at the time of my
death. I suggest, but do not direct, that in exercising
such discretion, my Executor attempt to minimize (or
eliminate, if possible) the federal and state estate,
inheritance or other death taxes payable by my estate at
the time of my death. However, my Executor should also
consider the effect of his election upon the federal and
state estate, inheritance or other death taxes which will
be payable by my spouse's estate at his death. The
decision of my Executor with respect to the exercise of
the election shall be final and conclusive upon all
persons whose interest in my estate are directly or
indirectly affected by the election.
F. Upon the death of my spouse, WILLIAM F. HOVETTER,
JR., my Trustee shall pay the Executor of my spouse's
estate all income accrued but undistributed at the date of
my spouse's death. My Trustee shall then dispose of the
principal as follows:
1. To pay to the Executor of my spouse's
estate, out of the principal of the trust, am amount equal
to the estate, inheritance, transfer, succession or other
death taxes ("death taxes"), federal, state and other,
payable by reason of the inclusion of the value of the
trust property in his estate. Such payment shall be equal
to the amount by which (1) the total of such death taxes
paid by my spouse's estate exceeds (2) the total of such
7
death taxes which would have been payable if the value of
the trust property had not been included in his estate.
The determination by my spouse's Executor of the amount
payable hereunder shall be final; I direct my Trustee to
pay such amount promptly upon written request of my
spouse's Executor. The final determination of the amount
due hereunder shall be based upon the values as finally
determined for federal estate tax purposes in my spouse's
estate. After paYment of the amount finally determined to
be due hereunder, my Trustee shall be discharged from any
further liability with respect to such payment. My spouse
may waive his estate's right to paYment under this
subparagraph by a Will, executed after my death, in which
he specifically refers to the right to payment hereby
given to his estate.
2. To pay the principal, if any, remaining on
my spouse's death and after payment of the tax
reimbursement to my spouse's estate as hereinabove stated,
in equal shares to my children, TIMOTHY G. HOVETTER and
THOMAS L. HOVETTER, or their issue, per stirpes, as stated
more completely in Item III D hereof.
ITEM V: Should my spouse, WILLIAM F. HOVETTER, JR.,
predecease me, I give, devise and bequeath the rest, residue
and remainder of my estate of every nature and wheresoever
situate in equal shares, one share to each of my children,
TIMOTHY G. HOVETTER and THOMAS L. HOVETTER, or their issue, per
8
stirpes, as stated more completely in Item III D hereof.
ITEM VI: If my spouse, WILLIAM F. HOVETTER, JR., 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 him 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
said spouse during his lifetime with the balance of the
principal and interest passing to my children, TIMOTHY G.
HOVETTER and THOMAS L. HOVETTER, all in conformity with the
terms of Item III D hereof.
ITEM VII: My Executor, 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 approval, and
effective until actual distribution of all property:
A. To borrow money from any person or institution,
including my fiduciary and to mortgage or pledge any or
all real or personal property as it in its 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.
B. To reasonably compromise claims asserted by or
against my estate.
9
C. To join with my spouse in filing a joint income
tax return without requiring him to indemnify my estate
against liability for the tax attributable to his 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.
D. To retain any or all of the assets of my estate,
real or personal, without regard to any principle of
diversification or risk.
E. To sell at public sale, to exchange, or to lease
for any period of time, any real or personal property and
to give option for sales, exchanges, or leases, for such
prices and upon such terms or conditions as they deem
proper.
F. 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 trust established in Item III hereof from
whatever source shall be utilized for such loans or to
purchase assets from my Executrix at final federal estate
tax values.
G. 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.
10
H. 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 eliminate said
gift or reduce it below that elected by my Executor.
Furthermore, in no event shall there be included in the
Item IV bequest any asset or 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.
I. Either cash or investments or both may be
allocated to the trust created in Item IV; 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.
ITEM VIII: 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
11
and filed with my Executor or with the Trustee of any trust
hereunder. Such instrument need not take effect immediately
and may be contingent upon the occurrence or nonoccurrence of
any event.
In addition, my Executor serving hereunder at any
time may in like manner release, renounce or disclaim, in whole
or in part, or otherwise limit any power granted to such
fiduciary hereunder.
ITEM IX: All shares of principal and income hereby given
shall be free from anticipation, assignment, pledge or
obligation to the beneficiaries and any of them, and shall not
be subject to any execution, attachment, levy or sequestration
or other claims of the creditors of said beneficiaries or any
of them.
ITEM X: All Federal, state and other death taxes payable
because of my death with respect to the property forming my
gross estate for tax purposes, whether or not passing under
this Will, including any interest or penalty imposed in
connection with such tax, shall be considered a part of the
expense of the administration of my estate and shall be paid
out of the principal allocable to my Credit Shelter Trust
without apportionment or right of reimbursement. Under no
circumstances shall any such taxes be paid or payable from the
proceeds forming a part or all of the marital trust of Item IV
hereof.
ITEM XI: I appoint DAUPHIN DEPOSIT BANK & TRUST COMPANY
12
to serve as the Trustee under this will.
ITEM XII: I direct that no Executor, Trustee or their
successors serving hereunder be required to post bond or enter
security in any jurisdiction.
ITEM XIII: I appoint my spouse, WILLIAM F. HOVETTER, JR.,
Executor of this my Last Will and Testament. Should my spouse,
WILLIAM F. HOVETTER, JR., fail to qualify or cease to act as
Executor, I appoint my children, TIMOTHY G. HOVETTER and THOMAS
L. HOVETTER, or the survivor of them, Co-Executors of this my
Last will and Testament.
ITEM XIV: As Guardian of any property which passes under
or outside of my Will to a minor and with respect to which I am
authorized to appoint a Guardian and have not specifically done
so outside of my Will, I appoint my surviving son. In the
event my surviving son fails to qualify or ceases to act as
Guardian, I appoint the surviving parent of the child as
Guardian of the property passing to a minor. Such Guardian
shall not be required to post bond or enter security in any
jurisdiction and shall have all of the responsibility,
authority and discretion herein granted to Trustee as to
property held for minors.
ITEM XV: All references herein to the singular or the
masculine shall include the plural or the feminine
respectively, where appropriate throughout this my Last will
and Testament. Wherever the term "issue" is used in this Will,
it shall include Nicole L. Grove, as if she were a natural
13
child of Timothy G. Hovetter, as well as any after born or
adopted children of my sons, TIMOTHY G. HOVETTER and THOMAS L.
HOVETTER.

I, EDNA A. HOVETTER, of Shippensburg, Cumberland OOUnty,
Pennsylvania, declare this to be the sole codicil to my Last
Will dated August 27, 1992.
ITEM I: I hereby revoke ITEM II and in lieu thereof
provide as follows:
I give and bequeath my household and personal effects
and other tangible personal property of like nature to my
spouse, WILLIAM F. HOVETTER, JR., if he survives me by thirty
(30) days, together with all insurance policies thereon, if
any.
If my spouse, WILLIAM F. HOVETTER, JR., fails to survive
me by thirty (30) days, I give such property, in equal shares,
to my children, TIMOTHY G. HOVETTER and THOMAS L. HOVETTER, or
the survivor of them. My children shall choose the items they
each desire. In the event of any problem or disagreement, the
determination of the attorney for my estate resolving such
shall be final. To the extent my said children do not desire
all of my tangible personal property, as set forth above, I
give and bequeath such items for donation to either or both of
the following charities in shares as my Executor determines, In
his sole and absolute discretion:
SALVATION ARMY and AMERICAN
RED CROSS.
ITEM II:
In addition to the charitable donation contained
in Item I above, I give and bequeath the sum of FIVE THOUSAND
($5,000.00) DOLLARS to TRINITY UNITED METHODIST CHURCH located
in Walnut Bottom, Pennsylvania, for general church purposes.
ITEM III:

provide as follows:
All federal, state and other death taxes payable
because of my death, with respect to the property passing under
this Will 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 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 share of my estate be utilized
2
to payor be reduced by any federal estate or Pennsylvania (or
other state) inheritance or estate taxes.
ITEM IV: I hereby revoke ITEM XI and in lieu thereof
provide as follows:
I appoint DAUPHIN DEPOSIT BANK & TRUST COMPANY to
serve as the Trustee under this will. My two sons, or the
survivor of them, shall have the right to secure on demand the
resignation of my corporate trustee and designate a corporate
successor from time to time.

and republish my Last will dated August 27, 1992, together with
this sole Codicil, as and for my Last Will.
