LAST WILL AND TEST AMENT
(Pour-Over Will)
OF
CHARLES E. SAWYER
'j
i,
IDENTITY
I, CHARLES E. SAWYER, residing in the County of Cumberland, Commonwealth of
Pennsylvania, being of sound mind and memory, and not acting under duress or undue influence of any
person whomsoever, hereby declare this to be my Last Will and Testament, and I do hereby revoke all
other former Wills and Codicils to Wills heretofore made by me. My Social Security Number is 197-07-
9892.
I have the following children: Charley W. Sawyer, born September 21, 1942, and Larry L.
Sawyer, born December 10, 1947.
DEBTS, TAXES AND ADMINISTRATION EXPENSES
I have provided for the payment of all my debts, expenses of administration of property wherever
situated passing under this Will or otherwise, and estate, inheritance, transfer, and succession taxes, other
than any tax on a generation-skipping transfer that is not a liability of my Estate (including interest and
penalties, if any) that become due by reason of my death, under THE CHARLES E. SAWYER
REVOCABLE LIVING TRUST executed on even date herewith (the "Revocable Trust"). If the
Revocable Trust assets should be insufficient for these purposes, my Executor shall pay any unpaid items
from the residue of my Estate passing under this Will, without any apportionment or reimbursement. In
the alternative, my Executor may demand in a writing addressed to the Trustee of the Trust an amount
necessary to pay all or part of these items, plus claims, pecuniary legacies, and family allowances by court
order.
PERSONAL AND HOUSEHOLD EFFECTS
It is my intent that all my personal and household effects were transferred to the Revocable Trust
as a result ofthe Declaration of Intent signed this date. If there are any questions regarding the ownership
or disposition of these assets, it is my desire that such assets pour into the Revocable Trust, signed by me
this date in accordance with the provisions ofthe section titled "Residue of Estate."
RESIDUE OF ESTATE
I give, devise and bequeath all the rest, residue and remainder of my property of every kind and
description (including lapsed legacies and devices), wherever situated and whether acquired before or
after the execution of this Will, to the Trustee under that certain Trust executed by me on the same date of
the execution of this Will. The Trustee shall add the property bequeathed and devised by this item to the
corpus of the above described Trust and shall hold, administer and distribute said property in accordance
with the provisions of the said Trust, including any amendments thereto made before my death.
POUR-OVER WILL
Page 1

./
Testator
If for any reason the said Trust shall not be in existence at the time of death, or if for any reason a
court of competent jurisdiction shall declare the foregoing testamentary disposition to the Trustee under
said Trust as it exists at the time of my death to be invalid, then I give all of my Estate including the
residue and remainder thereof to that person who would have been the Trustee under the Trust, as
Trustee, and to their substitutes and successors under the Trust, described herein above, to be held,
managed, invested, reinvested and distributed by the Trustee upon the terms and conditions pertaining to
the period beginning with the date of my death as are constituted in the Trust as at present constituted
giving effect to amendments, if any, hereafter made and for that purpose I do hereby incorporate such
Trust by reference into this my Will.
EXECUTOR
I hereby nominate and appoint Charley W. Sawyer and Larry L. Sawyer to serve without bond as
my Joint Executors.
In the event that one of the Joint Executors shall predecease me, or is unable or unwilling to act as
my Executor for any reason whatsoever, then and in the event I hereby nominate and appoint the
remaining Executor to serve without bond as my Independent Executor.
Whenever the word "Executor" or any modifying or substituted pronoun therefore is used in this
my Will, such words and respective pronouns shall be held and taken to include both the singular and the
plural, the masculine, feminine and neuter gender thereof, and shall apply equally to the Executor named
herein and to any successor to substitute Executor acting hereunder, and such successor or substitute
Executor shall possess all the rights, powers, duties, authority, and responsibility conferred upon the
Executor originally named herein.
EXECUTOR POWERS
By way of Illustration and not of limitation and in addition to any inherent, implied or statutory
powers granted to executors generally, my Executor is specifically authorized and empowered with
respect to any property, real or personal, at any time held under any provision of this my Will: to allot,
allocate between principal and income, assign, borrow, buy, care for, collect, compromise claims, contract
with respect to, continue any business of mine, convert, deal with, dispose of, enter into, exchange, hold,
:improve, incorporate any business of mine, invest, lease, manage, mortgage, grant and exercise options
with respect to, take possession of, pledge, receive, release, repair, sell, sue for, make distributions in cash
or in kind of partly in each without regard to the income tax basis of such asset and in general, exercise all
of the powers in the management of my Estate which any individual could exercise in the management of
similar property owned in its own right upon such terms and conditions as to my Executor may seem best,
and execute and deliver any and all instruments and do all acts which my Executor may deem proper or
n.ecessary to carry out the purpose of this my Will, without being limited in any way by the specific grants
or power made, and without the necessity of a court order.
My Executor shall have absolute discretion, but shall not be required, to make adjustments in the
rights of any Beneficiaries, or among the principal and income accounts to compensate for the
consequences of any tax decision or election, or of any investment or administrative decision, that my
executor believes has had the effect, directly or indirectly, of preferring one Beneficiary or group of
Beneficiaries over others. In determining the Federal Estate and Income Tax liabilities of my Estate, my
Executor shall have discretion to select the valuation date and to determine whether any or all of the
POUR-OVER WILL

allowable administration expenses in my Estate shall be used as Federal Estate Tax deductions or as
Federal Income Tax deductions.
