I, HELEN COTSARELIS, a resident of and domiciled in Camp Hill, County of Cumberland and Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, do hereby make, publish and declare this to be my Last Will and Testament, hereby revoking all Wills and Codicils at any time heretofore made by me. I am married to ELIAS N. COTSARELIS. I have three living children: NICK COTSARELIS of Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania, GEORGE COTSARELIS of Berwyn, Pennsylvania and FRAN (FRANCIS) COTSARELIS KANEALY of Louisville, Kentucky. ITEM I Direction to Pay Debts. I direct that all my legally enforceable debts, secured and unsecured, be paid as soon as practicable after my death. ITEM II Direction to Pay All Taxes from Residuary Estate. I direct that all estate, inheritance, succession, death or similar taxes (except generation-skipping transfer taxes) assessed with respect to my estate herein disposed of, or any part thereof, or on any bequest or devise contained in this my Last Will (which term wherever used herein shall include any Codicil hereto), or on any insurance upon my life or on any property held jointly by me with another or on any transfer made by me during my lifetime or on any other property or interests in property included in my estate for such tax purposes be paid out of my residuary estate and shall not be charged to or against any recipient, beneficiary, transferee or owner of any such property or interests in property included in my estate for such tax purposes. ITEM III Specific Devise of Residential Property. I give and devise to ELIAS N. COTSARELIS, if he shall survive me, any interest which I own at the time of my death real estate and dwelling in New Avorani and Agrinion, Greece. If he shall not survive me, then I give and bequeath said property to the surviving issue per stirpes of Elias N. Cotsarelis. Page 1 v~ ITEM IV Outright Gift of All Property to Husband. Contingent Gift to Issue. I give, devise and bequeath all the rest, residue and remainder of my property of every kind and description (including lapsed legacies and devises) wherever situate and whether acquired before or after the execution of this Will, absolutely in fee simple to my husband, ELIA5 N. COTSARELIS, if he shall survive me. If he shall not survive me, then I give, devise and bequeath all of the property to my surviving children in equal shares, provided, however, the then living issue of a deceased child of mine shall take per stirpes the share their parent would have taken had he or she survived me. ITEM V Naming the Personal Representative. Personal Representative Succession, Personal Representative's Fees and Other Matters. The provisions for naming the Personal Representative, Personal Representative succession, Personal Representative's fees and other matters are set forth below: (I) Naming; an Individual Personal Representative. I hereby nominate, constitute, and appoint as Personal Representative of this my Last Will and Testament ELIAS N. COTSARELIS and direct that he shall serve without bond. (2) Naming Individual Successor or Substitute Personal Representative. If my individual Personal Representative should fail to qualify as Personal Representative hereunder, or for any reason should cease to act in such capacity, the successor or substitute Personal Representative who shall also serve without bond shall be NICK COTSARELIS. (3) Fee Schedule for Individual Personal Representative. For its services as Personal Representative, the individual Personal Representative shall receive reasonable compensation for the services rendered and reimbursement for reasonable expenses. ITEM VI Definition of Personal ReQresentative. Whenever the word "Personal Representative" or any modifying or substituted pronoun therefor is used in this my Will, such words and respective pronouns shall include both the singular and the plural, the masculine, feminine and neuter gender thereof, and shall apply equally to the Personal Representative named herein and to any successor or substitute Personal Representative acting hereunder, and such successor or substitute Personal Representative shall possess Page 2 all the rights, powers and duties, authority and responsibility conferred upon the Personal Representative originally named herein. ITEM VII Powers for Personal Representative. By way of illustration and not of limitation and in addition to any inherent, implied or statutory powers granted to Personal Representatives generally, my Personal Representative is specifically authorized and empowered with respect to any property, real or personal, at any time held under aay 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, convey, 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, to make distributions or divisions in cash or in kind or partly in each without regard to the income tax basis of such asset, and in general, to exercise all the powers in the management of my Estate which any individual could exercise in the management of similar property owned in his or her own right, upon such terms and conditions as to my Personal Representative may seem best, and to execute and deliver any and all instruments and to do all acts which my Personal Representative may deem proper or necessary to carry out the purposes of this my Will, without being limited in any way by the specific grants of power made, and without the necessity of a court order. ITEM VIII Discretion Granted to Personal Representative in Reference to Tax Matters. My Personal Representative as the fiduciary of my estate shall have the discretion, but shall not be required when allocating receipts of my estate between income and principal, 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 Personal Representative believes has had the effect, directly or indirectly, of preferring one beneficiary or group of beneficiaries over others; provided, however, my Personal Representative shall not exercise its discretion in a manner which would cause the loss or reduction of the marital deduction as may be herein provided. In determining the state or federal estate and income tax liabilities of my estate, my Personal Representative shall have discretion to select the valuation date and to determine whether any or all of the allowable administration expenses in my estate shall be used as state or federal estate tax deductions or as state or federal income tax deductions and shall have the discretion to file a joint income tax return with my husband. Page 3 ITEM IX Definition of Children. For purposes of this Will, "children" means the lawful blood descendants in the first degree of the parent designated; and "issue" and "descendants" mean the lawful blood descendants in any degree of the ancestor designated; provided, however, that if a person has been adopted, that person shall be considered a child of such adopting parent and such adopted child and his or her issue shall be considered as issue of the adopting parent or parents and of anyone who is by blood or adoption an ancestor of the adopting parent or either of the adopting parents. The terms "child," "children;' "issue;' "descendant" and "descendants" or those terms preceded by the terms "living" or "then living" shall include the lawful blood descendant in the first degree of the parent designated even though such descendant is born after the death of such parent. The term "per stirpes" as used herein has the identical meaning as the term "taking by representation" as defined in the Pennsylvania Probate Code. ITEM X Definition of Words Relatin~Lto the Internal Revenue Code. As used herein, the words "gross estate," "adjusted gross estate," "taxable estate;' "unified credit;' "state death tax credit;' "maximum marital deduction;' "marital deduction;' "pass," and any other word or words which from the context in which it or they are used refer to the Internal Revenue Code shall have the same meaning as such words have for the purposes of applying the Internal Revenue Code to my estate. For purposes of this Will, my "available generation-skipping transfer exemption" means the generation~skipping transfer tax exemption provided in section 2631 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, in effect at the time of my death reduced by the aggregate of (1) the amount, if any, of my exemption allocated to lifetime transfers of mine by me or by operation of law, and (2) the amount, if any, I have specifically allocated to other property of my gross estate for federal estate tax purposes. For purposes of this Will if at the time of my death I have made gifts with an inclusion ratio of greater than zero for which the gift tax return due date has not expired (including extensions) and I have not yet filed a return, it shall be deemed that my generation-skipping transfer exemption has been allocated to these transfers to the extent necessary (and possible) to exempt the transfer(s) from generation-skipping transfer tax. Reference to sections of the Internal Revenue Code and to the Internal Revenue Code shall refer to the Internal Revenue Code amended to the date of my death. Page 4 ITEM XI Statement by Testatrix of Intent Not to Exercise Power of Appointment. I hereby refrain from exercising any power of appointment that I may have at the time of my death. ITEM XII Simultaneous Death Provision Presuming Beneficiary Predeceases Testatrix. If any beneficiary and I should die under such circumstances as would make it doubtful whether the beneficiary or I died first, then it shall be conclusively presumed for the purposes of this Will that the beneficiary predeceased me.
