DeROSA, of 1208 Pheasant Drive South, Carlislef~=Cumberhd u~ County, Pennsylvania, being of sound and disposing mind, memory and understanding, do make, publish and declare this to be my Last Will and Testament, hereby revoking and making void all previous Wills and Codicils heretofore made by me. FIRST I order and direct my Executor hereinafter named to pay all of my just debts, funeral expenses and expenses involved or connected with the administration of my estate, including all taxes that may be assessed in consequence of my death, as soon after my death as is reasonably possible from the proceeds and assets of my estate prior to any other distributions. However, my Executor need not accelerate and pay those unmatured obligations which, in his, her or its opinion, it might be proper and more advantageous to retain or renew and pay as they become due and payable. If I do not own a burial plot or a grave marker at the time of my death, I authorize my Executor/Executrix, in his, her or its sole discretion, to purchase a burial plot and to erect a suitable grave marker at my grave, and to expend sums from my estate for this purpose. i <~ G'RIFFIE & ASSOCIATES ATTnORpNEYS-AT-LAW 200 NORTH HANOVER STREETPage 1 Of 8 CARLISLE, PENNSYLVANIA 77013 CHAMBERSBURG PENNSYLVANIA SECOND I give, devise and bequeath my entire estate of whatsoever nature and wheresoever situate, together with all insurance proceeds thereon, in equal shares to my children, ANTHONY CARL DeROSA, VICTOR SCARO and GEORGE SCARO, who survive me by sixty (60) days, per stirpes. I direct my Executor/Executrix to divide among such beneficiaries all personal property of a sentimental or family nature (excluding cash, stocks, bonds and the like), including but not limited to jewelry, household goods, antiques, furniture and memorabilia, in accordance with a separate memorandum which I may place with my Will or deposit with my attorney. In the absence of such disposition by memorandum, I direct that the said tangible personal property be divided between my residual beneficiaries with due regard for their personal preferences in as nearly equal shares as practical, with the value of such dispositions being credited to the share of each respective recipient. If the said beneficiaries do not agree to the division of the personal property provided for hereunder, the decision of my Executor/Executrix, including the decision to sell the property at public or private sale and distribute the proceeds therefrom as provided hereinafter, shall be final and conclusive on all parties. THIRD I have specifically chosen to provide no distribution of my estate to my son, RAYMOND SCARO, not out of want of affection, but because I feel the I have provided 200 N. Hanover Street Carlisle, PA 17013 GRIFFIE & ASSOCIATES Attorneys At Law Page 2 of 8 38 N. Main Street Chambersburg, PA 17201 ~. for Raymond Scaro during my lifetime as I wished and do not want to have any distribution whatsoever from my estate to him. FOURTH I grant my Executor/Executrix the following powers in addition to and not in limitation of such powers as my Executor/Executrix shall hold by law: (a) To retain all property received including the stock of any corporate fiduciary acting hereunder, provided such property remains productive. (b) To join in any corporation, partnership, recapitalization, merger, reorganization or voting trust plan; to delegate authority with respect thereto; to deposit investments under agreements and pay assessments; and generally to exercise all rights of investors, including but not limited to, the voting of shares. (c) To manage, operate, repair, improve, mortgage or lease on any terms any real estate held or owned by my estate. (d) To operate any business that I may own at my death. (e) To invest any funds of my estate in any stocks, bonds, notes or other securities or property, real or personal, without regard to the principle of diversification or any other statute or general rule of law in his, her or its absolute discretion, it being my intention to give my Executor/Executrix the broadest investment powers possible, providing such investments do not unnecessarily prevent the prompt settlement of my estate. 200 N. Hanover Street Carlisle, PA 17013 GRIFFIE & ASSOCIATES Attorneys At Law Page 3 of 8 38 N. Main Street Chambersburg, PA 17201 (fj To sell or otherwise dispose of any property, real or personal, tangible or intangible, at any time forming a part of my estate in any manner and on such terms and conditions as my Executor/Executrix shall see fit in his, her or its absolute discretion. (g) To borrow money for the payment of taxes or for any other proper purposes in the administration of my estate, and to mortgage or pledge estate assets as security. (h) To compromise claims without court approval including, but not limited to, any controversies with the United States of America or the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania concerning estate and inheritance taxes on any interests that may pass under this my Last Will and Testament. (i) To distribute in cash or in kind upon any division or distribution of my estate. (j) To undertake any and all acts deemed necessary and proper by my Executor/Executrix for the proper, advantageous and prompt management of the settlement of my estate. (k) In general, to exercise all powers in the management of my estate which any individual could exercise in the management of similar property owned in his own right, upon such terms and conditions as to him, her or it may seem best and to execute and deliver all instruments and to do all acts which he, she or it deems necessary or proper to carry out the purposes of this, my Last Will and Testament.

Main Street Carlisle, PA 17013 Chambersburg, PA 17201 FIFTH No interest of any beneficiary of my estate, either in income or in principal, shall be subject to anticipation or pledge, assignment, sale or transfer in any manner, nor shall any beneficiary have the power in any manner to charge or encumber his interest either in income or principal, nor shall the interest of any beneficiary be liable or subject in any manner while in the possession of my Executor/Executrix for the liability of such beneficiary. SIXTH I nominate, constitute and appoint my son, ANTHONY CARL DeROSA, as Executor of this my Last Will and Testament. In the event my spouse is deceased, unable or unwilling to serve or shall cease to serve for any reason whatsoever, then I nominate, constitute and appoint my son, VICTOR SCARO, as Executor of this my Last Will and Testament. I direct that my Executor shall not be required to give or post bond for the faithful performance of his, her or its duties in this or any other jurisdiction. SEVENTH I hereby declare it to be my expressed desire that my Executor/Executrix employ the law firm of Griffie & Associates, of Carlisle, Pennsylvania, for legal advice and assistance regarding this my last Will and Testament, they having considerable knowledge of my affairs, views and wishes respecting any matters that may arise at the probate of this instrument, the administration of my estate, and the execution of the powers herein mentioned.
