,

-J
KNOW ALL MEN BY THESE PRESENTS, that I, KATHRYN M. KODISH, presently
residing in Cumberland County, Pennsylvania, do hereby make, declare and publish this as my
Last Will and Testament, hereby revoking all former Wills and Codicils heretofore made by me.
PAYMENT OF EXPENSES
I. Payment of Expenses. I direct that my Executor, hereinafter named shall have the
power, but not the duty, to pay all my just debts, expenses of my last illness, and funeral
expenses from my estate as soon after my death as shall be found convenient.
GIFTS
II. Personal and Household Effects. I bequeath my automobiles, household and the
rest of my personal effects and other tangible property of like nature (not including cash or
securities) (excluding the Lionel train set to be given to my grandson, TYLER WEICHT)
together with any existing insurance thereon, to my husband, EDWARD T. KODISH, ifhe
survives me by thirty days. Should my husband, EDWARD T. KODISH, not be living on the
thirty-first day after my death, I bequeath such tangible personalty and insurance thereon to such
of my children as are living on the thirty-first day after my death, to be divided between them in
as nearly equal shares as practical.
I intend to leave a memorandum setting forth suggestions as to the distribution of certain
items and, while the memorandum is not to be legally binding, I hope the suggestions in it will
be carried out.
I direct that the expense of packing, shipping, insuring and delivering any such property
to a beneficiary entitled thereto shall be paid by my Executor as an administrative expense of my
Estate.
RESIDUARY ESTATE
III. Residue. I give, the residue of my Estate, real and personal, wherever situated, to
my husband, EDWARD T. KODISH, ifhe survives me by thirty (30) days.
x~, ~, ~~,l
-1-
If my husband has predeceased me or dies within thirty (30) days of my death, I give the
residue of my Estate, in equal shares, to my children, LORI WEICHT and EDWARD J.
KaDISH, subject to the option set forth in Paragraph VIII. A. of this Will, but if any child of
mine has predeceased me, then to his/her issue, per stirpes and not per capita, and, in default
thereof, to my surviving child.
IV. Power of Aopointment. No provision of this Will shall exercise any power of
appointment I may have.
FIDUCIARIES
V. Executor. I hereby nominate, constitute and appoint my husband, EDWARD T.
KODISH, as Executor of this, my Last Will and Testament. In the event that my said husband
shall predecease me, or be unwilling or unable to act as Executor, then I nominate, constitute and
appoint my son-in-law, JACK WEICHT, as Executor.
VI. Bond. No Executor shall be required to give bond or other security for the
performance of his duties.
ADMINISTRATIVE PROVISIONS
VII. Protective Provisions. To the extent permitted by law, the interest of beneficiaries
in principal or income shall not be subject to the claims of their creditors and others, nor to legal
process, and shall not be voluntarily or involuntarily alienated or encumbered, except that
nothing in this article shall preclude the assignment of all or any part of a beneficiary's interest to
his/her descendants. Further exceptions may be made if my Executor approves.
VIII. Management Provisions. My Executor shall have, in addition to the powers and
authority conferred upon him by law, the following additional powers and authority:
A. Sell/Lease. To sell at public or private sale, exchange, lease,
mortgage or pledge any property, real or personal, at any time, and
upon such terms and conditions as he shall deem wise. However, if
my husband has predeceased me, and if at my death, I own the
property at 259 Salem Church Road, Mechanicsburg, P A 17050, I
direct that my Executor shall promptly, upon his appointment by Grant
of Letters Testamentary, notify my son, EDWARD J. KaDISH, that
he is granted the option to purchase my home by paying to my
daughter one-half of the appraised value of the property within ninety
(90) days of the appointment of the Executor. The appraised fair
market value shall be determined by a real estate appraiser doing
business in Cumberland County and appraisal shall be arranged for by
the Executor and the fee shall be paid as an expense of my estate. A
copy of the appraisal shall be provided to my son within thirty (30)
days of the Executor's appointment. The other one-half value of the
\\\).~At' 1),. Vtrd;"~
-2-
property shall be deemed to be the distribution value to my son of his
interest in the house as it constitutes part of the residue of my estate.
The one-half value, ifpaid to my daughter, as outlined shall be deemed
to be the distribution to her of her interest in the house as it constitutes
part of the residue of my estate.
My son may waive this option in writing during the ninety (90) day
period after appointment of the Executor. If he does not waive the
option in writing, but fails to pay the one-half interest to my daughter
within ninety (90) days of the appointment of my Executor, the option
shall expire and my Executor may proceed, as he chooses, to sell or
lease the property as set forth above.
B. Retain/Invest. To retain and to invest in all forms of real and
personal property, including common trust funds, mutual funds and
money market deposit accounts regardless of any limitations imposed
by law on investments by executors, or any principle of law
concerning investment diversification.
C. Title to Property. To cause any security or other property which
may constitute a portion of my Estate to be issued, held or registered in
his own name, or in the name of a nominee, or in such form that title
will pass by delivery.
D. Capital changes. To consent to the reorganization, consolidation,
readjustment of the financial structure, or sale of the assets of any
corporation or other organization, the securities of which constitute a
portion of my Estate, and to take any action with reference to such
securities which, in the opinion of the Executor is necessary to obtain
the benefit of any such reorganization, consolidation, readjustment or
sale; to exercise any conversion privilege or subscription right given to
him as the owner of any securities constituting a portion of my Estate;
to accept and hold as a portion of my Estate securities resulting from
any reorganization, consolidation, readjustment, sale, conversion or
subscription.
E. Expense of Estate. To pay all costs, taxes, charges and expenses
in connection with the administration of my Estate.
F. Allocate. To determine what is "income" and what is "principal"
hereunder, and his decision thereon shall be final; and to purchase
securities at a premium discount, and to apply or charge said premium
or discount against income or principal as the Executor may
determine.
.~ d~e"" 11~. +( ~;J

G. Borrow. To borrow money from any person, firm or corporation,
for the purpose of protecting and preserving or improving my Estate
hereunder; to execute promissory notes or other obligations for
amounts so borrowed.
H. Employ. To employ legal counsel, accountants, brokers,
investment advisors, custodians, managers and other agents and
employees and to pay them reasonable compensation out of the funds
held hereunder to which said compensation is attributable.
TAX PROVISIONS
IX. Death Taxes. I direct that all transfer and inheritance taxes, state or Federal
assessed because of my death, whether the funds, property or insurance proceeds to which such
taxes are attributable pass under this Will or not, shall be paid out of my residuary estate; that my
Executor pay, or provide for payment of all such taxes at such time or times, and in such manner
as my Executor deems best.
X. Tax Options. I authorize my Executor:
A. Death Taxes. To exercise any options available in determining and
paying death taxes in my estate;
B. Income Taxes. To join with my husband in filing a joint income tax
return; and
c. Gift Taxes. To consent to any gifts made by my husband being treated
as having been made one-half by me for the purpose of laws relating to gift
tax.
