HELMAN, JR., presently residing in Summerdal$;~~r~d ,~:: 0? ^ \0 County, PA, being of sound mind, memory and understanding, hereby mak!~~iSh~d .:r::J - declare this to be my Last Will and Testament, hereby revoking all prev~ Wills"1md o Codi~ils made by me. ~ (") S;o ARTICLE ONE Identity of Testator's Familv I declare that I am married to JACQUELINE M. HELMAN. All references in this Will to my "spouse" are references to her. I have eight children now living, whose names are MARIE ROBINSON, MIRIAM METZGER, JANE MAUST, KATHY KULP, RAMONA PALM, WALTER R. HELMAN, III, KENNETH HELMAN, and BETSY STILO. All references in this will to my IIchildren" are references to the above-named individuals. ARTICLE TWO Distribution of Estate (A) I give, devise and bequeath my entire estate, whether real, personal or mixed, wheresoever situate, to my spouse, provided she survives me by thirty (30) days. (B) In the event that my spouse should predecease me or fail to survive me by thirty (30) days, then and in that event: (1) I give and bequeath my cedar chest and my collection of music, including compact discs, eight-track tapes and cassettes, to my daughter, MIRIAM METZGER. (2) I give and bequeath all of my personal property (excluding any automobile which I may own) to my children to be divided amongst them. My children shall be entitled to take from my estate such items of personal property as they desire. It is my PAGE 1 OF 6 _..A._j , ,", ':- ) ;~ Cl7 ;'~.!.; intention that all of my children shall meet at my residence and decide amongst themselves which items each will receive, without regard to value. Any disagreement shall be decided in the sole discretion of my Executors. Any distribution of personal items to my children shall not be taken into account in the later division of my estate into equal shares. (3) My children shall be entitled to purchase any automobile which I may own on the date of my death at the Kelly Blue Book Value. If more than one of my children wishes to purchase said automobile, my Executors, in their sole discretion, shall make the final decision as to which child shall be entitled so to purchase. (4) My son, KENNETH HELMAN, shall be given the first option to purchase my residence at 107 Boyer Street, Summerdale, for the sum of Seventy-Five Thousand ($75,000.00) Dollars. In the event that my son, KENNETH, does not wish to exercise his option to purchase, my daughter, JANE MAUST, shall be given the second option to purchase the said house for the same Seventy-Five Thousand ($75,000.00) Dollars. In the event that my daughter, JANE, does not wish to exercise her option to purchase, anyone of my remaining children shall be given the option to purchase my said house for the same Seventy-Five Thousand ($75,000.00) Dollars. In the event that more than one of my remaining children wishes to exercise the option to purchase the house, my Executors, in their sole discretion, shall make the final decision as to which child shall be entitled so to purchase. My Executors shall notify in writing each one of my children of their option rights under this paragraph. My children shall have fifteen (15) days from the receipt of such notice to notify my Executors in writing of their intention to exercise the option. Settlement on the transfer of my residence to any child shall take place within six (6) months from receipt of notice of intention to exercise an option. Receipt and delivery of notice hereunder shall be measured from the date of mailing, via certified mail, return receipt requested, or the date of personal delivery. (5) Prior to any further distribution of my estate pursuant to Article Two (B)(6), I direct that all debts, fees and taxes of my estate, to include any estate and inheritance tax, are to be paid. PAGE20F6 . . (6) I give, devise and bequeath all the rest, residue and remainder of my estate, whether real, personal or mixed, wheresoever situate, to my children, to be distributed equally among them, or the issue of any such children who predecease me or fail to survive me by thirty (30) days, such issue to take per stirpes and not per capita. In the event that any of my children should predecease me or fail to survive me by thirty (30) days, leaving no issue surviving to such event of distribution, then the share of such predeceased child shall go over and be divided among the surviving children and the issue of any children who have predeceased me or failed to survive me by the said thirty (30) days, the latter to take per stirpes and not per capita. ARTICLE THREE EXECUTOR Aooointment (A) I appoint my spouse as the Executor of this Will. In the event of her death, resignation, renunciation or inability to act in that capacity, then I appoint my son, WALTER R. HELMAN, III, and my daughter, JANE MAUST, as Co-Executors of this Will in her place and stead. In the event of the death, resignation, renunciation or inability to act in that capacity of either one of the above-name Co-Executors, then and in that event I direct that the remaining one of them shall act as the sole Executor of this Will. No Bond Reauired (B) No bond or other security shall be required of any Executor appointed in this Will. Executor (C) My Executor(s) hereunder, whether original, substitute, successor or Co-Executors, are referred to herein as my Executor.

EmDlovment of Attornevs. Advisors. and Other Aaents (1) To employ any attorney, investment advisor, accountant, broker, tax specialist, or any other agent deemed necessary by my Executor; and to pay from my estate reasonable compensation for all services performed by any of them.

All of the above powers may be exercised, except as otherwise provided by law, from time to time in the discretion of my Executor without further court order or license. ARTICLE FOUR Will Contests If any beneficiary or remainderman under this Will in any manner, directly or indirectly, contests or attacks this Will or any of its provisions, any share or interest in my estate established by this Will given to that contesting beneficiary or remainderman under this Will is revoked and shall be disposed of in the same manner provided herein as if that contesting beneficiary or remainderman had predeceased me without issue. ARTICLE FIVE Funeral and Burial It is my wish that I be buried in the Rolling Green Cemetery and that the Neumyer Funeral Home, Inc. of Harrisburg, Pennsylvania handle the funeral and burial arrangements. ARTICLE SIX General (A) If any of the provisions of this Will or of any Codicils hereto are held to be inoperative, invalid, or illegal, it is my intention that all of the remaining provisions PAGE40F6 . . thereof shall continue to be fully operative and effective so far as is possible and reasonable.
