FIRST: It is my wish, and I direct, that after my death, my body be buried in Allport Cemetery in Clearfield County. I further direct that the funeral arrangements be made through Dahlgren - Gilham Funeral Home, in Philipsburg, Centre County, Pennsylvania. SECOND: I give, devise, and bequeath all of my Estate, of whatever nature and f wherever situate, in equal shares, to my sons, WILLIAM JEREMIAH DENSHAM, of ~~ Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, and ALAN J. DENSHAM, of Greensburg, Pennsylvania, so long U as they each shall survive me by thirty (30) days. Should either of my sons fail to survive me ` ~ by thirty (30) days, but be represented by children then living, these children shall take, per stirpes, the share to which my son would have been entitled if then living. THIRD: Should neither of my sons nor any of my grandchildren survive me by thirty (30) days, I give, devise, and bequeath all of my Estate, of whatever nature and wherever situate, in equal shares, to my sister, DORIS ANN ROBERTS, of Greenbelt, Maryland, and to my other sister, MARLENE KAY DIVINEY, of Morrisdale, Pennsylvania. Should either of my sisters fail to survive me by thirty (30) days, but be represented by children then living, these children shall take, per stirpes, the share to which that sister would have been entitled if then living. FOURTH: All interests of any beneficiary in the income or principal of this Estate, while undistributed and in the possession of my Executor, even though vested and distributable, shall not be subject to attachment, execution or sequestration for any debt, contract, obligation or liability of any beneficiary and, furthermore, shall not be subject to pledge, assignment, conveyance, or anticipation. FIFTH: All inheritance, estate, and succession taxes (including interest and any penalties thereon) payable by reason of my death shall be paid out of and be charged generally against the principal of my residuary estate without reimbursement from any person. .~ SIXTH: In addition to all rights and powers conferred by law, I authorize and empower my Executor and his successors, in his absolute discretion and without necessity of obtaining court approval: A.

To sell at public or private sale for cash or credit or partly for each, to exchange, or to lease for any period of time, any real or personal property, and to give options for sales, exchanges, or leases. I. To exercise any option permitted by law which he believes to be advantageous from the viewpoint of overall tax reductions, including, without limitation of the foregoing, power and authority to claim administration or other expenses either as income tax deductions or inheritance or estate tax deductions, without regard to whether they were paid from principal or income and without requiring adjustments between principal and income for any resulting effect on income or estate taxes, and a deduction of such expenses for income tax purposes shall be given effect in computing the respective shares of all persons interested in my estate set forth herein, even though the effect is to increase the share of one beneficiary or class of beneficiaries hereunder at the expense of another; and to make such adjustments, if any, between beneficiaries with respect thereto as he shall deem appropriate in view of the nature of the transaction and the amounts involved. 1. To distribute in cash or in kind or partly in each. The powers granted hereunder shall be exercisable with respect to all real and personal ., ~ property, including, but not limited to, income and principal held for minors or disabled beneficiaries at any time, until the actual distribution of all property. All powers, authorities and discretion granted here shall be in addition to those granted by law and shall be exercisable without leave of court. However, nothing herein shall be interpreted or construed to encourage, authorize, empower, or permit the Executor to act or cause anyone to act in a manner contrary to or inconsistent with accepted standards of portfolio diversification and risk management. SEVENTH: I nominate, constitute, and appoint my sons, WILLIAM JEREMIAH DENSHAM and ALAN J. DENSHAM, as Co-Executors of this, my Last Will and Testament. In the event of the renunciation, death, resignation, or inability of either of my sons to act for whatever reason in this capacity, then I nominate, constitute, and appoint the other son to act as sole Executor. In the event of the renunciation, death, resignation, or inability of both of my sons to act for whatever reason in this capacity, then I nominate, constitute, and appoint my sister, MARLENE KAY DIVINEY, as Executrix of this, my Last Will and Testament.
