ELIZABETH A. MIZDAIL
I, ELIZABETH A. MIZDAIL, 819 Hogestown Road, Mechanicsburg, Cumberland
County, Pennsylvania 17055, do publish and declare this to be my Last Will and Testament,
hereby revoking all other prior wills and codicils made by me.
FIRST: Family Back~round and Appointment of Executor.
(A) Family and Back~round Information. I am married to EUGENE B. MIZDAIL.
I have not been previously married. The children of our marriage are CATHERINE M.
ATCHLEY, MARGARET M. REAM, MARY E. ALLINSON, THERESA A. HOCKER,
and EUGENE B. MIZDAIL, II. Throughout this Will, EUGENE B. MIZDAIL will be
referred to as "my husband" or "my spouse". The word "issue" will include my children as well
as my other descendants.
(B) Appointment of Executor. I appoint as my Executor and successor Executor (all
hereinafter referred to as Executor or Executor(s)) under this Will, the following named persons
or corporations to serve without bond and without being required to account to any Court:
Executor: My husband, EUGENE B. MIZDAIL.
Successor Executrix: My daughter, CATHERINE M. ATCHLEY.
Second Successor Executrix: My daughter, MARGARET M. REAM.

(B) Taxes. I direct my Executor to pay any and all estate, inheritance, succession,
legacy, transfer and other death taxes or duties, by whatever name called, including any and all
interest and penalties thereon, imposed under the laws of any jurisdiction by reason of my death,
upon or with respect to any and all property included in my gross estate for the purpose of such
taxes, whether such property passes under or outside of this Will, out of my residuary estate,
without being prorated or apportioned among or charged against the respective devises, legatees,
beneficiaries, transferees, or other recipients of any such property or charged against any property
passing or which may have passed to any of them. The Executor shall not be entitled to
reimbursement for any portion of any such taxes from any such person.
THIRD: Tan~ible Personal Property. Except for those items excluded below and
those items enumerated in the Letter of Instruction, I bequeath to my husband, EUGENE B.
MIZDAIL, all tangible personal property, including but not limited to clothing, jewelry,
heirlooms, furniture, personal effects, motor vehicles, and all other similar articles, which I own,
and the insurance thereon, if my husband survives me by sixty (60) days. Tangible personal
property shall not include: (I) any and all property used by me in any business, (2) cash on hand
or on deposit in banks, (3) stock or securities, (4) any type of evidence of indebtedness, and (5)
any life, health or accident insurance policies.
Ifmyhusband is not living on the sixty-first (61st) day after my death, I bequeath such
tangible personal property to my children living at the time of my death, to be divided among
them as they may select in as nearly equal shares as is practical. If my husband and my children
do not survive me, I leave such tangible personal property to the issue of my children, per stirpes.
If there is any disagreement as to distribution, I direct my Executor to make such distribution.
The decision of my Executor shall be final and binding. Any items not selected or any items
which my Executor considers unsuitable for my children may be distributed or sold in the sole
discretion of my Executor and, if sold, the net proceeds therefrom shall be added to the residue of
my estate. Any such article allocated to a minor may, as my Executor deems advisable, either be
delivered to the minor or to any person to safeguard on behalf of the minor.
Notwithstanding any other provisions in this Article THIRD, I may leave a separate,
dated and unsigned Letter of Instruction, which I shall place with my Will, containing directions
as to the ultimate disposition of certain of the property bequeathed under this Article THIRD, and
such Letter of Instruction shall determine the distribution of such items.W

corporate Trustee or issued by a parent or affiliate company of such Trustee; in the

on the business thereof, to join with other owners in adopting any form of management
for any business or property in which the Trusts or Estate may have an interest, to become
or remain a partner, general or limited, in regard to any such business or property and to
hold the stock or other securities as an investment, and to employ agents and confer on
them authority to manage and operate the business, property or corporation, without
liability for the acts of such agent or for any loss, liability or indebtedness of such
business if the management is selected or retained with reasonable care.
(9) To register any stock, bond or other security in the name of a nominee,

(B) Whenever the Trustee or Executor is directed to distribute any Trust principal or
Estate assets in fee simple to a person who is then under twenty-one (21) years of age, the
Trustee or Executor shall be authorized to hold such property in Trust for such person until
he/she becomes twenty-one (21) years of age, and in the meantime shall use such part of the
income and the principal of the Trusts or Estate as the Trustee or Executor, respectively, may
deem necessary to provide for the proper support and education of such person. If such person
should die before becoming twenty-one (21) years of age, the property then remaining in trust
shall be distributed to the personal representative of such person's estate.
(C) In making distributions from the Trusts or Estate to or for the benefit of any minor

-d
~

LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT
OF
ELIZABETH A. MIZDAIL
PAGE 7
by the Trustee or Executor shall be binding and conclusive on all persons taking hereunder. The
Trustee or Executor may in making such distribution or division allot undivided interests in the
same property to several trusts or shares.
(E) The Trustee and Executor shall be authorized to lend or borrow, including the
right to lend to or borrow from my estate or the estate of my husband or any trusts which I or my
husband may have established during life or by will at an adequate rate of interest and with
adequate security, and upon such terms and conditions as the Trustee or Executor shall deem fair
and equitable.
(F) The Trustee and Executor shall be authorized to sell or purchase at the fair market
value as determined by the Trustee or Executor, any property to or from my estate, the estate of
my husband, or any trust created by me or my husband during life or by Will, even though the
same person or corporation may be acting as Executor of my estate or the estate of my husband
or as Trustee of any of my other trusts.
(G) The Trustee and Executor shall have discretion to determine whether items should
be charged or credited to income or principal or allocated between income and principal as the
Trustee or Executor may deem equitable and fair under all the circumstances, including the
power to amortize or fail to amortize any part or all of any premium or discount, to treat any part
or all of the profit resulting from the maturity or sale of any asset, whether purchased at a
premium or at a discount, as income or principal or apportion the same between income and
principal, to apportion the sales price of any asset between income and principal, to treat any
dividend or other distribution of any investment as income or principal, or apportion the same
between income and principal, to charge any expense against income or principal or apportion
the same, and to provide or fail to provide a reasonable reserve against depreciation or
obsolescence on any assets subject to depreciation or obsolescence, all as the Trustee and
Executor may reasonably deem equitable and just under all the circumstances.
(H) If at any time the total fair market value of the assets of any trust established or to
be established hereunder is so small that the corporate Trustee's annual fee for administering the
trust would be the minimum annual fee set forth in the Trustee's regularly published fee schedule
then, in effect, the Trustee in its discretion shall be authorized to terminate such trust or to decide
?d1?t l!m/
};;;J:A

not to establish such trust, and in such event the property then held in or to be distributed to such
trust shall be distributed to the persons who are then or would be entitled to the income of such
trust. If the amount of income to be received by such persons is to be determined in the
discretion of the Trustee, then the Trustee shall distribute the property among such of the persons
to whom the Trustee is authorized to distribute income, and in such proportions, as the Trustee in
its discretion shall determine.
(I) When the authority and power under this Will is vested in two (2) or more
Executors or Trustees, the authority and powers are to be held jointly by the Executors or
Trustees, respectively. A majority of the Executors or Trustees may exercise any authority or
power granted under this Will or granted by law, and may act under this Will. Any attempt by
one such Executor or Trustee to act under this Will on other than ministerial acts shall be void.
The action of one such Executor or Trustee under this Will may be validated by a subsequent
ratification of the act by a majority of the Executors or Trustees.
NINTH: Ri~ts and Liabilities of Executor and Trustee. No bond or other security
shall be required of any Executor. This instrument always shall be construed in favor ofthe
validity of any act or omission by any Executor or Trustee, and any Executor or Trustee shall not
be liable for any act or omission except in the case of gross negligence, bad faith or fraud.
Specifically, in assessing the propriety of any investment of a Trust, the overall performance of
the entire Trust shall be taken into account. Each Executor and Trustee shall be entitled to
receive reasonable compensation for services actually rendered to my estate or to my Trusts, in
an amount the Trustee or Executor normally and customarily charges for performing similar
services during the time which he/she performs the services.
TENTH: Tax Elections. In determining the estate, inheritance and income tax liability
relating to my Estate, the Executor's decision as to all available tax elections shall be conclusive
on all concerned. If the Executor joins with my husband in filing income tax returns, or
consenting for gift tax purposes to having gifts made by either of us during my life considered as
having been made one-half by each of us, any resulting liability shall be borne by my Estate and
my husband in such proportions as they may agree. In accordance with IRe Section 2632(a) and
without regard to whether a Federal estate tax return is actually filed, my Executor shall allocate
so much of the Federal Generation Skipping Transfer (GST) exemption amount as will fully

exempt any generation skipping transfer which may occur under this Will.
ELEVENTH: DeC"mitions and General Provisions.
(A) Survival. Any beneficiary, including my husband, who dies within sixty (60)
days after my death shall be considered not to have survived me.
(B) Trust Estate. "Trust Estate" means all assets, however and wherever acquired,
including income, which may belong to a Trust at any given time.
(C) Children. Except for discretionary distributions which may be made unequally
among a group of persons and distributions pursuant to a valid exercise of a Power of
Appointment, in making a distribution to the children of any person, the property to be
distributed shall be divided into as many shares as there are living children of the person and
deceased children ofthe person who left children who are then-living. Each living child shall
take one share and the share of each deceased child shall be divided among his then-living
descendants in the same manner. A posthumous child shall be considered as living at the death
of his parent.
(D) Code. Unless otherwise stated, all references in my Will to section and chapter
numbers are to those of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or the corresponding
provisions of any subsequent federal tax laws applicable to my estate.
(E) Other terms. The use of any gender includes the other genders, and the use of
either the singular or the plural includes the other.
(F) Captions. The captions set forth in this Will at the beginning of the various
divisions hereof are for convenience of reference only and shall not be deemed to define or limit
the provisions hereof or to affect in any way their construction and application.
(G) Powers of Appointment are Exercised. By this Will I exercise any Power of
Appointment which I may possess at my death.
