I, GEURT den HARTOG, of North Newton Township, CumberlaIid Coun~
~
1'0'-')
; .
Pennsylvania, declare this to be my Last Will and Testament and revoke any Will or Codicil
previously made by me.
ITEM I: I direct that all my just debts (except as may be barred by a Statute of
Limitations) and my funeral expenses (including my gravemarker and expenses of my last
illness) shall be paid from my residuary estate as soon as practicable after my decease as a part
of the administration of my estate.
ITEM II: I bequeath those articles of my household furniture and furnishings and those
articles of my personal effects and personal property as I have or may set forth in a separate
memorandum (which is or will be signed by me, dated and make specific reference to this Will
and memorandum, which I shall place with my Will or deposit with my attorney), to the persons
therein designated.
ITEM III. Ifmy wife, GRADA J. den HARTOG, survives me, I devise and bequeath to
my Trustee, IN TRUST, to hold and distribute the principal and to pay the net income, as a
Qualified Domestic Trust under Item IV below, the smallest fractional share of principal of my
estate which, when added to (i) all assets otherwise passing or having passed to my said wife
which are includable in my gross estate and qualify for the marital deduction under section
2056(d)(2)(A) of the Internal Revenue Code (herein the IRC), and (ii) all assets otherwise
q. t.'t.
passing or having passed to my said wife which are added to a Qualified Domestic Trust by
other provisions hereof or by my wife under section 2056( d)(2)(B) of the IRC, will reduce the
Federal Estate Tax payable because of my death to the minimum, after taking into account all
other deductions allowed on my Federal Estate Tax Return and all credits against the Federal
Estate Tax, including the unified credit and the state death tax credit; provided that the state
death tax credit shall not be taken into account to the extent that it would increase state death
taxes. The formula contained herein shall be determined as though my personal representative
makes an election as provided in section 2056A( d) of the IRC with respect to the Qualified
Domestic Trust and all property added to a Qualified Domestic Trust by my said wife. Any
provision of this Will which may appear to conflict with my intention to reduce the Federal
Estate Tax to the minimum shall be construed so as to accomplish that intention. All property
allocated to or held in the Qualified Domestic Trust shall qualify for the marital deduction. In
addition, if assets of such trust at any time consist substantially of unproductive property, my
said wife may require that my Trustee either make the property productive or convert it within a
reasonable time to productive property. No property which will produce a credit for foreign
death taxes shall be allocated to the Qualified Domestic Trust unless necessary to fund it fully.
ITEM IV. Qualified Domestic Trust.
As to the principal passing hereunder, I direct my Trustee:
A. To pay the net income at least quarterly to my wife, GRADA J. den HARTOG,
for her life. My United States Trustee may make distributions from principal to my said
wife on account of hardship, as that term is defined in Section 2056A(b)(3)(B) of the
c; ~ . ft.
2
IRC, and any regulations thereunder, after first considering funds reasonably available to
her from other sources. In addition, my United States Trustee may pay to or apply for
the benefit of my said wife as much of the principal as my United States Trustee deems
advisable for her maintenance, health and support after first considering funds available
to her from other sources.
B. Upon the death of my said wife:
1. To pay any accumulated and undistributed net income to the personal
representative of my said wife's estate.
2. To deduct and pay any death tax imposed by the United States of
America on the principal passing under this trust.
3. To pay the remaining principal as provided for in Item VII hereof.
C. My United States Trustee:
1. May withhold from any payment of principal under subparagraph (A) an
amount equal to any death tax imposed on such distribution under section
2056A(b) of the IRC and shall pay any federal estate tax imposed under section
2056A(b)(1) of the IRC upon property passing hereunder as the result of a
taxable event (as defined in section 2056A(b)(9) of the IRC) out of the principal
subject to such tax.
2. May serve as Designated Filer and may allocate any Deferred Tax due on
any Qualified Domestic Trust in the Designated Filer's sole discretion. If a
United States Trustee appointed hereunder is not the Designated Filer, my United
q {.W.
3
States Trustee shall provide to the Designated Filer all necessary information
relating to distributions of principal made from the Qualified Domestic Trust
during the tax year to my said wife and shall pay any and all Deferred Tax
allocated to the Qualified Domestic Trust by the Designated Filer.
3. Shall file any and all statements necessary to avoid disqualifying the
Qualified Domestic Trust for the federal estate tax marital deduction.
4. Shall file all tax returns required by section 2056A(b )(1) of the IRe with
respect to the Qualified Domestic Trust and shall pay all tax so imposed on such
trust.
D. I release my Trustee from any personal liability for any federal estate tax
imposed on the Qualified Domestic Trust and authorize my Trustee to make application
to the Secretary of the Treasury for release of such personal liability under section 2204
of the IRe.
E. It is my intention that this Qualified Domestic Trust qualify for the federal estate
tax marital deduction under sections 2056( d) and 2056A of the IRe. If my Trustee
determines that any provision or the absence of any provision herein will cause the
Qualified Domestic Trust not to qualify for the marital deduction, My Trustee may
reform the Qualified Domestic Trust, in whole or in part, solely to accomplish such
intention by amending the Qualified Domestic Trust or by a timely judicial proceeding,
the method of reformation to be determined by my Trustee, in Trustee's sole discretion.
Any such reformation by amendment shall be by instrument in writing signed by all
7- /) .N.
4
Trustees then serving and consented to by my said wife. Any reformation by judicial
proceeding shall be in the form of a decree of the court having jurisdiction over the
Qualified Domestic Trust, upon petition by all Trustees then serving and after such
notice to such parties in interest as such court may direct.
ITEM V. Residuary Share.
I devise and bequeath the remainder of my estate of every nature and wherever situate to
my wife, GRADA J. den HARTOG, providing she shall survive me by thirty (30) days. I
remind my said wife (and her personal representative, guardian, agent acting under a power of
attorney or other representative) that she may disclaim any part or all of this gift passing to her
hereunder or otherwise as a result of or by virtue of my death. In particular, it may be desirable
for her to disclaim a portion of this gift, or of other property passing otherwise by reason of my
death, and if she does so (either personally or by her personal representative, guardian or agent
acting under a power of attorney), the disclaimed property or portion shall pass (except as may
be specifically provided otherwise elsewhere in this Will or any other applicable and relevant
document), as a part of and under the provisions ofthe Trust established in Item VI hereof.
ITEM VI If my wife, GRADA J. den HARTOG, disclaims any property or any
portion of any property which would otherwise pass to her as a result of or by virtue of my
death, the disclaimed property or portion thereof shall pass to my Trustee hereinafter named and
be held in a separate Trust (referred to herein as a "By-Pass Trust"). This By-Pass Trust created
by the provisions hereof shall be held, administered and distributed in accordance with the
following terms and provisions and for the following uses and purposes:
Cf ~. If.
5
A. To pay the net income therefrom to my wife, GRADA J. den HARTOG, for and
during her lifetime.
B. As much of the Principal ofthis Trust as Trustee in Trustee's sole discretion may
from time to time think advisable for the health, education and support in reasonable
comfort of my wife, GRADA J. den HARTOG, and my children and my grandchildren
(and their spouses) and for the protection and preservation of her or their property may
either be paid to himlher or them or else applied directly for her or their benefit by
Trustee after taking into account her or their other readily available assets and sources of
Income.
C. Trustee may apply the net income and maintenance in reasonable comfort of my
wife, GRADA J. den HARTOG, my children, my grandchildren (or their spouses)
should she or they by reason of age, illness or other cause in the opinion of Trustee be
incapable of appropriately receiving or disbursing it.
D. Upon the death of my wife, GRADA J. den HARTOG, the then remaining
principal and any undistributed income shall be distributed as is provided for in Item VII
hereof.
ITEM VII. In the event that my wife, GRADA J. den HARTOG, shall not survive me
(and she shall be presumed to have survived me if there is insufficient evidence to show which
of us survived), I give, devise and bequeath all of my estate of every nature and wherever situate
to my son, GERARD J. den HARTOG. It is my direction to my son, GERARD, but it shall not
be a charge upon any of the assets passing to him, that he pay the sum of Five Thousand Dollars
4 ,~. JII.
6
($5,000.00) per year to my son, DIRK den HARTOG, for so long as Dirk shall live, but not
more than twenty (20) years. If my son, GERARD J. den HARTOG, shall not be living at the
time of the death of the survivor of me and my wife, GRADA J. den HARTOG, but should he
be survived by then living descendents, I devise and bequeath all of my estate to my Trustees to
be held and administered and disbursed, IN TRUST, as follows:
A. My Trustees shall hold in a separate sub-Trust an amount of principal (as
determined by my Trustees) adequate to make the Five Thousand Dollars ($5,000.00)
per year annual payments to my son, DIRK den HARTOG, for his life, but not more
than twenty (20) years. Upon the death of my son, DIRK den HARTOG, or the elapse
of twenty (20) years, any remaining portion of this sub-Trust shall be added to and
treated as a part of the principal of the Trust(s) specified in Sub-paragraph B below.
B. The remainder thereof shall be divided into shares so as to provide one share, per
stirpes, for the then living descendents of my deceased child (GERARD J. den
HARTOG). These shares shall be held, administered and disbursed as follows:
1. My Trustee shall accumulate the net income and expend and apply so much
of the net income, accumulated income, and principal of the trust as trustee in its
sole discretion deems advisable to or for the benefit of such person for the
support, education and health of such person and for the protection and
preservation of his property until such person attains the age of eighteen years.
2. Upon such person's attaining the age of eighteen (18) years, my Trustee shall
distribute the net income of such person's trust to him or for his benefit and so
q. tH.
7
much of the principal as trustee in its sole discretion deems advisable for the
support, education and health of such person and for the protection and
preservation of his property shall be distributed to such person or for his benefit.
Such person shall be entitled during his lifetime, to withdraw sums of principal
from his trust in accordance with the following formula:
a. At any time after attaining the age of twenty-five (25) years and prior
to attaining the age of thirty (30) years, such sums as shall not exceed
one-half (1/2) of the market value of the principal as constituted on his
twenty-fifth (25th) birthday or on the creation of his separate trust,
whichever shall last occur;
b. At any time after attaining the age of thirty (30) years, any and all
principal remaining.
c. Upon the death of any person, his trust shall terminate and the then
remaining principal shall be distributed, per stirpes, to his then living
issue, or, if there shall be no such issue, to my then living issue, in equal
shares, per stirpes.
ITEM VIII. Priority of Distributions.
It is my intention that with regard to any discretionary distribution hereunder of principal
or income to a beneficiary under this Will, my Trustee shall consider funds available to such
beneficiary from all sources and the tax effect of distributions from each of those sources. My
Trustee may make a distribution from any Trust hereunder on the basis of Trustee's
q rf.te.
8
determination, in my Trustee's sole discretion, that a more favorable tax effect would result if
such distribution were made from one trust rather than another.
ITEM IX. Disclaimer.
Except as is specifically provided in Item VI above, if any person otherwise entitled to
take hereunder (or such person's legal representative) files a written disclaimer, in whole or in
part, with respect to any provisions of this Trust with my Trustee within the period allowed by
section 2518 of the IRe, such person (i) shall be treated as having predeceased me for
purposes of holding or distributing the disclaimed share, and (ii) shall not participate in any
decision to payor apply the income or principal of the disclaimed share to or for the benefit of
any person hereunder, but such person shall not be treated as having predeceased me for
purposes of holding, distribution or participating in any such decision under any provision to
which the disclaimer does not extend.
ITEM X. Spendthrift Provision.
Until distributed, no gift or beneficial interest shall be subject to anticipation or to
voluntary or involuntary alienation.
ITEM XI. Death Taxes.
A. All death taxes (and interest and penalties thereon) imposed as a result of my
death upon the property passing under my Will, and upon proceeds of insurance on
my life, but not otherwise, shall be paid out of the principal of the Residuary Trust,
each share thereof, whether outright or in Trust, to bear a pro rata portion of such
taxes; provided that any death taxes imposed upon property, including proceeds of
qA/f
9
insurance, passing to my said wife under this Trust, under my Will or otherwise,
which will qualify for the marital deduction if added to a Qualified Domestic Trust,
shall bear its own share of death taxes to the extent such property is not added to a
Qualified Domestic Trust. All Deferred Taxes imposed upon principal of the
Qualified Domestic Trust as the result of a taxable event during my said wife's
lifetime shall be paid out of the property subject thereto.
B. I authorize my Executor to make, in whole or in part, in my Executor's sole
discretion, any election or allocation with respect to the Generation-Skipping Transfer
Tax under Chapter 13 of the IRC. My Executor shall be without liability to anyone
for making or failing to make such election or allocation or the manner in which such
election or allocation is made.
C. I authorize my Executor to elect, in whole or in part, in my Executor's sole
discretion, to treat as qualified terminable interest property for the purposes of
qualifying for the marital deduction any property passing under my Will or otherwise
in which my said wife has a qualifying income interest for life. My Executor shall be
without liability to anyone for making or failing to make such election.
D. I authorize my Executor to elect, in my Executor's sole discretion to treat the
Qualified Domestic Trust under Item III and IV of this Will and any other qualifying
trust consisting of property included under my gross estate as a Qualified Domestic
Trust described under section 2056A(a). My Executor shall be without liability to
anyone for making or failing to make such election.

place. I hereby authorize my Trustees to appoint a Co-Trustee or Successor Trustee
that satisfies, if necessary or desirable, the U. S. Bank as Trustee requirement
referenced below.
C. I direct that there shall always be a United States Trustee of the Qualified
Domestic Trust (herein referred to as the "QDOT"). Such trust shall always be
maintained under the laws of the state of the United States or the District of Columbia
and the administration of such trust shall always be governed by the laws of a
particular state of the United States or the District of Columbia.
D. My Trustee shall comply with the requirements for security arrangements for
the QDOT as set forth in Treas. Reg. S20.2056A-2(d)(1)(i) or (ii), summarized as
follows:
1. If the fair market value of the assets passing, treated or deemed to have
passed to the QDOT, determined without reduction for any indebtedness
thereon, as finally determined for Federal Estate Tax purposes exceeds Two
Million Dollars ($2,000,000) as of the date of my death or, if applicable, the
alternate valuation date (as adjusted under and pursuant to Treas. Reg.
S20.2056A-2(d)(1)(iv)), then my Trustees must at all times during the term of
4 f( .k4
13
the trust either (i) satisfy the U.S. Bank as Trustee requirement of Treas. Reg.
S20.2056-2(d)(I)(i)(A); (ii) furnish a bond in favor of the U.S. Internal
Revenue Service that satisfies the requirements of Treas. Reg. S20.2056A-
2(d)(I)(i)(B); or (iii) furnish an irrevocable credit that satisfies the
requirements of Treas. Reg. S20.2056A-2(d)(I)(i)(C) (hereinafter referred to as
the U.S. Bank, Bond or Letter of Credit Requirement). Ifmy Trustee elects to
furnish a bond or letter of credit as security, then in the event the Internal
Revenue Service draws on such instrument in accordance with its terms,
neither the United States nor any other person will seek a return of any part of
the remittance until April 15th of the calendar year following the year in which
the bond or letter of credit is drawn upon. My Trustee may alternate between
any of the security arrangements described above provided that, at all times
during the term of such trust, one of the arrangements is, if required, operative.
2. If the fair market value of the assets passing, treated or deemed to have
passed to the QDOT, determined without regard for any indebtedness thereon,
as finally determined for Federal Estate Tax purposes is Two Million Dollars
($2,000,000) or less as of the date of my death or, if applicable, the alternative
valuation date (as adjusted under and pursuant to Treas. Reg. S20.2056A-
l(d)(l)(iv)) then my Trustee must comply with either the U.S. Bank, Bond or
Letter of Credit Requirement only if more than thirty-five percent (35%) of the
fair market value of the assets of such trust, determined annually on the last day
q ~ .H.
14
of the taxable year of such trust, consists of real property located outside the
United States. For purposes of determining whether more than thirty-five
percent (35%) of the trust assets consist of foreign real property, Treas. Reg.
S20.2056A-2( d) (1 )(ii)(B) applies.
3. For purposes of determining whether the fair market value of the trust
assets exceeds Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000), my Trustee is authorized to
make the election under Treas. Reg. S20.2056A-2(d)(1)(iv)(A) with respect to
real property used as my spouse's personal residence.
4. For purposes of determining the amount of the bond or letter of credit,
my Trustee is authorized to make the election under Treas. Reg. S20.2056A-
2(d)(1)(iv)(B) with respect to real property used as my spouse's personal
residence.
5. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, my U.S.
Trustee is hereby authorized to enter into alternative plans or arrangements
with the Internal Revenue Service pursuant to Treas. Reg. S20.2056A-2(d)(4)
to assure collection of the deferred estate tax, in lieu of the provisions
contained herein.
6. My individual Executors then serving and the individual Trustees of
any trust hereunder then serving may unanimously appoint in writing an
individual, and/or a corporation described in subparagraph (7) below, to serve
with them as co-Executor or co-Trustee.
q ~. iI.
15
7. Upon the written request of the individual Trustee of any trust
hereunder then serving, with the unanimous written consent of those sui juris
persons who would receive an interest in principal if it were then distributed to
my then living descendants on a per stirpes basis, delivered to the corporate
Trustee then serving, the corporate Trustee of such trust shall promptly resign;
provided that the individual Trustee, with the written consent of the above
described class of persons, shall concurrently appoint a corporation organized
under the laws of the United States or any State thereof and possessed of trust
powers, which has trust assets of at least One Hundred Million Dollars
($100,000,000), and as to the Qualified Domestic Trust meets the definition of
a bank under section 581 of the IRe, as successor corporate Trustee.
8. Any power of removal and appointment under this Paragraph shall not
be extinguished by a single exercise; provided that the power to remove a
corporate trustee shall not be exercised more frequently than once every five
years.
9. Any Trustee while servmg hereunder may resIgn without court
approval by written notice delivered to the co-Trustee and all sui juris income
beneficiaries. If a Trustee should cease to serve, whether by death or
resignation, such Trustee shall be relieved of all liability through the delivery
of an account (formal or informal) to the sui juris persons who may then
receive the income hereunder and by the signature of a release based on said
q .tl.H.
16
account by such individuals.
10. No Trustee taking office shall be liable in any way for the acts or
omissions of any Trustee prior to the Trustee's assuming office and shall have
no duty to review the performance of a Trustee prior to that time.
11. Any corporate fiduciary serving hereunder shall receive compensation
for its services hereunder in accordance with a fee agreement entered into
between it and me during my lifetime, or if there is no such agreement,
between it and the individual fiduciaries who are serving with it, which in no
event shall exceed its Schedule of Fees in effect from time to time during the
period in which its services are performed. In the absence of an agreement
between the corporate fiduciary and me, if (i) there is no such agreement then
in effect entered into with an individual fiduciary and (ii) there is no individual
fiduciary then serving, the corporate fiduciary shall receive compensation in
accordance with its Schedule of Fees in effect from time to time during the
period in which its services are performed.
12. My Executor and Trustee shall not post security in any jurisdiction.
ITEM XIV: If any property passes outright (either under this Will or otherwise) to a
minor (which shall be defined as anyone under twenty-one (21) years of age) and with respect to
which I am authorized to appoint a guardian and have not otherwise specifically done so, I
decline to appoint a guardian but instead authorize my Executor to distribute such property to a
Custodian selected by my Executor (and my Executor may act as such Custodian) as Custodian
c; d 1-1
17
for the minor under the Pennsylvania Uniform Transfers to Minors Act. Provided, however, that
this appointment shall not supersede the right of any fiduciary to distribute a share where
possible to the minor or to another for the minor's benefit.
ITEM XV: Except as may be limited or provided for by the specific provisions of my
Wills, any fiduciary under this Will shall have the following powers in addition to those vested
in them by law 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. It is my intention that the powers granted herein shall include and be in supplement to
the powers concerning investments contained in PEF Code Chapter 72 (Prudent Investor Rule)
and the powers concerning adjustment and conversion to unitrust and related provisions
contained in PEF Code Chapter 81 (Uniform Principal and Income Act). To the extent that
specific powers granted to my Trustees by other provisions of this Will are inconsistent with
these powers, the specific powers provisions shall control.
A. General Management and Investment Powers. The Executor and Trustee shall have
full power and authority to manage and control the estate and trust estate, to borrow
money from any source (including the power to borrow from a Trustee or any affiliate of
a Trustee) and to sell, exchange, lease, grant options, rent, mortgage, pledge, assign,
transfer or otherwise dispose of or encumber (including sales to a Trustee) all or any part
of the trust estate (for terms extending beyond the termination of the estate or trust estate
or otherwise), upon such terms and conditions as the Executor or Trustee may see fit.
The Executor or Trustee may invest and reinvest all or any part of the trust estate in such
q,ft-.ff.
18
stocks, common and preferred (including the corporate stock of any corporate Trustee, or
any of its affiliates), debentures, shares or participations in any common or mutual fund,
interests in any general, limited, or limited liability partnership or in any limited liability
company, bonds, notes, repurchase agreements and deposit accounts of any kind from or
in any bank (including any corporate Trustee, or any of its affiliates), savings and loan
association or other financial institution or brokerage firm, stock options and warrants,
securities or other property, real or personal, within or without the State of Pennsylvania,
domestic or foreign, whether or not of the class or kind now or hereafter ordinarily
approved or held to be lawful for the investment of estate or trust funds, as the Executor
or Trustee may, in the Executor's or Trustee's discretion, select. The Trustee may make
and change such investments from time to time according to the Trustee's discretion, and
the Trustee may continue to hold any stocks, securities or other property received by the
Trustee hereunder without any duty of diversification. The Executor or Trustee may
determine whether any money or other property coming into the Executor's or Trustee's
hands, concerning which there may be reasonable doubt, shall be considered as a part of
the principal or income of the trust estate, and may apportion between such principal and
income any loss or expenditure in connection with the trust estate as to the Trustee may
seem equitable, taking account of all present and future interests in the trust estate. The
Trustee shall not be obligated to amortize premiums for trust securities out of income nor
make additions to income because of the purchase of securities at a discount. The
Trustee may exercise all options and all conversion, subscription, voting and other rights
q !l ,W.
19
of whatsoever nature held by or pertaining to any property, including securities of the
corporate Trustee or any affiliate thereof, held by the trust estate. Any corporate Trustee
shall not disclose the name, address, or share position of the beneficial owner(s) of
registered securities held by the corporate Trustee or its nominees unless the beneficial
owner(s) request otherwise in writing. It is the intention ofthe Testator that the Trustee
shall have the authority to invest in such ways as shall give due consideration for the
theories of total return investing, modern portfolio theory, and the theory of risk and
return. Accordingly, the Trustee is authorized to invest in any type of investment which
plays an appropriate role in achieving the investment goals of the Trust, which
investment shall be considered as part of the total portfolio. It is my specific direction
that no category or type of investment shall be prohibited. I specifically do not wish to
limit the universe of Trust investments in any way other than is dictated by the Trustee's
exercise of reasonable care, skill, and caution. In connection with the Trustee's
investment and management decisions with respect to this Trust, the Trustee is
specifically entitled to take in account general economic conditions, the possible effect
of inflation or deflation, the expected tax consequences of investment decisions or
strategies, the role which each investment or course of action may play within the overall
trust portfolio which may include financial assets, interests in closely held enterprises,
tangible and intangible personal property, and real property; the expected total return
s
from income and the appreciation of capital; other resources of the beneficiaries; the
needs for liquidity; regularity of income and preservation or appreciation of capital; and
q.. ~..4l
20
the asset's special relationship or special value, if any, to the purposes of the Trust or to
one or more of the beneficiaries. Nor shall my Trustee be limited to anyone investment
strategy or theory, including modern portfolio theory, the efficient markets theory or
otherwise, but shall be free to consider any appropriate investment strategy or theory
under all the circumstances. The Trustee may delegate investment and management
functions which a prudent person of comparable skills would properly delegate under the
circumstances. Should the Trustee delegate such function, the Trustee shall exercise
reasonable care, skill and caution in selecting an agent, establishing the scope and terms
of the delegation consistent with the purposes and terms of the Trust, and periodically
reviewing the agent's actions in order to monitor performance and compliance with the
terms of the delegation. Should such delegation occur as set forth above, the Trustee
who complies with the requirements for delegation shall not be liable to the beneficiaries
or to the Trusts for the decisions and actions of the agent to which the function was
delegated, but by accepting the delegation of a Trust function by the Trustee of this
Trust, the agent submits to the jurisdiction of the courts of this state.
R To allocate receipts and expenses to principal or income or partly to each as they
from time to time think proper.
C. To compromise any claim or controversy.
D. To distribute in cash or in kind or partly in each.
E. To hold property in their names without designation of any fiduciary capacity or in
the name of a nominee or unregistered.
<?c.tt..t'I
21
F. If there is no corporate fiduciary acting hereunder, my fiduciary may designate a
corporation (regardless of where organized or headquartered) with fiduciary powers to
act as agent or custodian hereunder, may delegate to it such duties as may be appropriate
(including investment recommendation duties), may pay to it reasonable compensation
for its services, and may discharge it with or without cause.
G. To treat the entire trust estate as a common fund for the purpose of investment,
notwithstanding any provision herein for division thereof into shares or separate trusts.
H. Should the principal of any trust herein provided for be or become so small that, in
the Trustee's discretion, establishment or continuance of trust is inadvisable, my Trustee
or my personal representative may make immediate distribution of the then remaining
principal and any accumulated or undistributed income outright to the person or persons
then entitled to income and in the proportions they are then entitled to such income. If
any such person is then a minor, distribution may be made to that person's guardian, or to
a person selected by the trustee to be custodian for such person until the age of
twenty-one (21) years under the Pennsylvania Uniform Transfers to Minors Act.
I. To continue the operation of any business in which I may be interested or engaged at
the time of my death (regardless of the form or organization of any such business),
which business or an interest in which shall be received by my fiduciary. This
authorization shall include the right to change the form of any such business by the
reorganization or incorporation thereof, or the formation of a general or limited
partnership with respect thereto, and shall also include the right to invest in any such
Cfq,J{.
22
business including the right to invest in any business the property of any trust hereunder
for such periods of time and upon such terms and conditions as my fiduciary shall deem
advisable. No fiduciary shall be liable for any loss resulting from continuing any such
business, but my fiduciary may, in my fiduciary's discretion, sell, liquidate or otherwise
discontinue any such business at such time or upon such terms and conditions as my
fiduciary shall deem advisable.
J. If there are co-fiduciaries servmg hereunder, they may delegate any and all
management duties and responsibilities to one of them. My co-fiduciaries may, for
example, designate one of them to maintain a bank account or accounts, and in that
instance the signature of only that fiduciary shall be required to open and maintain such
account, to deposit funds to such account and to write checks on such account.
K. Any individual fiduciaries shall have jointly with any corporate fiduciary all the
powers given to the fiduciaries, except that no individual fiduciary shall participate in the
exercise of any discretion to determine the propriety or amounts of payments of income
or principal to himself or herself or to any person to whom he or she is legally obligated,
or possess any of the incidents of ownership with respect to any policy of insurance on
his or her life, and the remaining fiduciaries alone shall exercise that discretion and
possess those incidents of ownership.
L. Except as may be limited in Sub-paragraph K above, in the event of any
disagreement between or among my fiduciaries, the decision of a majority of my
fiduciaries shall control. No fiduciary shall be liable for any loss resulting from a
qaJ/
23
decision in which that fiduciary did not join.
M. The situs of any trust created hereunder shall be in the County of Cumberland, and
State of Pennsylvania, and all questions pertaining to the construction or validity of the
provisions of this instrument shall be governed by the laws of that S tate (other than its
conflicts oflaws provisions).
