LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT
OF
FRANK D. ARMSTRONG
I, FRANK D. ARMSTRONG, of Cumberland County, Pennsylvania, make this Will,
hereby revoking all my former Wills and Codicils.
~-~
-~
ARTICLE ONE
DEFINITIONS - , ~ ~ \
§ 1.1 As used herein, the following terms shall have the following meanings:~~
§ 1.1.1 "My Wife" shall mean BARBARA H. ARMSTRONG.
§ 1.1.2 "My Children" shall mean My Wife's daughter, WENDY
MERCHANT, and my children, PATRICIA ARMSTRONG, WILLIAM P.
ARMSTRONG and FRANK D. ARMSTRONG, JR.
§ 1.1.3 "My issue" shall mean My Children, as defined in § 1.1.2
above, and the descendants of My Children.
ARTICLE TWO
TANGIBLE PERSONAL PROPERTY
.,
..,
§ 2.1 I bequeath all my tangible personal property, including by way of illustration but
not by way of limitation, my household furniture and furnishings, paintings, books, automobiles,
jewelry and personal effects, exclusive of any such property used in a trade or business, in
accordance with the terms of a signed and dated memorandum I may prepare. If no such
memorandum is located or received by the Executor within sixty (60) days after being appointed
as such, after conducting a reasonable search for such memorandum, the Executor shall be held
harmless for distributing such property as hereinafter provided.
§ 2.2 I bequeath any such property not disposed of by such memorandum, or all of such
property if no such memorandum is so located or received, to My Wife, if she survives me. If
My Wife does not survive me, I bequeath such assets to My Children living at my death to be
divided among them in as nearly equal shares as they agree. In the event of irreconcilable
disagreement among My Children, they shall take alternate turns selecting individual items with
my oldest Child making the first selection. Any items not so selected shall be sold and the
proceeds shall pass as a part of my residuary estate.
§ 2.3 To the extent practicable in the Executor's sole discretion, I bequeath any policies
of insurance on such property to the beneficiary entitled to such property.
§ 2.4 I direct that the expenses of storing, packing, shipping, insuring and delivering
any such property to the beneficiary entitled thereto shall be paid by the Executor as an
administrative expense of my estate.
ARTICLE THREE
MARITAL TRUST
§ 3.1 If My Wife survives me, I devise and bequeath to my Trustee herein named, an
amount equal to the value of my probate estate (determined on the basis of the values finally
determined for federal estate tax purposes), other than property passing under the foregoing
provisions of this Will, reduced by an amount, if any, needed to increase my taxable estate so that
the federal estate tax as finally determined, after taking into consideration my adjusted taxable
gifts, will equal my unified credit, the credit for property previously taxed and the state death tax
credit (to the extent that the use of said credit does not result in an increase in the state death
taxes otherwise payable) available against such tax, assuming that an election were made to
-2-
qualify all qualified terminable interest property, other than the trust provided for under
.Article Four of this Will, for the federal estate tax marital deduction whether or not such election
is actually made. This trust, to be known as the Marital Trust, maybe composed of cash, of
property in kind or partly of cash and partly of property in kind, and shall be funded only with
property which qualifies for the federal estate tax marital deduction in my estate, valued at the
date of distribution, and which, to the extent other property is available, shall not include
property for which a foreign death tax credit is available. The Marital Trust shall be
administered and distributed in accordance with the following provisions of this Article Three:
§ 3.1.1 The Trustee shall hold, manage, invest and reinvest the trust
property, shall collect the income thereof and shall distribute the net income in
quarter-annual installments, or more frequently if the Trustee deems it advisable,
to or for the benefit of My Wife.
§ 3.1.2 The Trustee may also distribute to or for the benefit of My
Wife so much of the principal of the trust property as the Trustee shall from time
to time deem necessary or proper for My Wife's health, maintenance and support,
taking into account other available funds, including her individual assets.
§ 3.1.3 Upon the death of My Wife, (a) the Trustee shall pay any
accrued or undistributed net income to My Wife's personal representative and
shall also pay to My Wife's personal representative or directly to the taxing
authority from the principal of the trust property the additional amount of estate
taxes, inheritance taxes, transfer taxes and other taxes of a similar nature, and all
interest and penalties with respect to any such taxes, attributable to the inclusion
of the value of this trust in My Wife's estate for such tax purposes; and (b) the
Trustee shall then distribute the balance of the trust property in accordance with
the provisions of Article Five hereof.
ARTICLE FOUR
RESIDUARY UNIFIED CREDIT TRUST
§ 4.1 If My Wife survives me, I devise and bequeath to my Trustee, herein named, all of
the rest, residue and remainder of my estate, to be held for the benefit of My Wife in trust, in
accordance with the following provisions of this Article Four:
-3-
§ 4.1.1 The Trustee shall hold, manage, invest and reinvest the trust
property, shall collect the income thereof and, during the life of My Wife, the
Trustee shall distribute the net income in quarter-annual installments, or more
frequently if the Trustee deems it advisable, to or for the benefit of My Wife.
§ 4.1.2 The Trustee may also distribute to or for the benefit of My
Wife, so much of the principal of the trust property as the Trustee shall from time
to time deem necessary or proper to adequately provide for My Wife's health,
maintenance and support, taking into account other available funds, including her
assets; provided, however, no such distribution shall be made until all assets held
in the trust created by Article Three of this Will are first expended or exhausted.
§ 4.1.3 Upon the death of My Wife, the Trustee shall distribute the
balance of the trust property in accordance with the provisions of Article Five
hereof.
ARTICLE FIVE
UPON THE DEATH OF THE SURVIVOR OF MY WIFE AND ME
§ 5.1 Upon my death, if My Wife does not survive me or to the extent she is deemed to
have predeceased me as a result of a valid disclaimer, or if My Wife survives me, then upon My
Wife's death, all assets not otherwise disposed of by this Will or to be distributed in accordance
with this Article Five shall be distributed to my issue then living, per stirpes, subject to being
held in trust in accordance with the provisions of Article Six hereof.
ARTICLE SIX
TRUST FOR BENEFICIARY UNDER 30 YEARS OF AGE
§ 6.1 Except as otherwise may be provided in this Will, if any beneficiary, other than a
Child of mine, is entitled to receive a mandatory distribution of property from my estate or from
any trust created by this Will and is under thirty (30) years of age, I devise and bequeath such
property to my Trustee, herein named, or I direct that such property be held by my Trustee in
continued trust, as the case maybe, for the benefit of such beneficiary, in trust, in accordance
with the following provisions of this Article Six:
-4-
§ 6.1.1 While each such beneficiary is under twenty-one (21) years of
age, the Trustee shall hold, manage, invest and reinvest the trust property, shall
collect the income thereof and shall apply to or for the benefit of such beneficiary
so much of the net income and, if the net income is insufficient, so much of the
principal of the trust property as the Trustee, in the Trustee's discretion, shall from
time to time deem necessary or proper for such beneficiary's health, maintenance,
support and complete education. The Trustee shall annually accumulate any net
income not so distributed and add the same to the principal of the trust property.
§ 6.1.2 After such beneficiary attains twenty-one (21) years of age, the
Trustee shall continue to hold, manage, invest and reinvest the trust property, shall
collect the income thereof and shall distribute the net income in quarter-annual
installments, or more frequently if the Trustee deems it advisable, to or for the
benefit of such beneficiary.
§ 6.1.3 In addition to the foregoing, after such beneficiary attains
twenty-one (21) years of age, the Trustee may distribute to or for the benefit of
such beneficiary so much of the principal of the trust property as the Trustee, in
the Trustee's discretion, shall from time to time deem necessary or proper for such
beneficiary's health, maintenance, support and complete education, including
college and graduate education, and professional, vocational or technical training,
and to assist such beneficiary with his or her reasonable wedding expenses, in the
purchase of a principal residence and in the establishment of a profession or of a
business considered a good risk by the Trustee, taking into account other available
funds, including such beneficiary's assets.
§ 6.1.4 At any time after such beneficiary attains thirty (30) years of
age, such beneficiary may withdraw any or all of the principal of his or her trust.
§ 6.1.5 If such beneficiary dies before the complete termination of his
or her trust, the Trustee shall distribute the property then held in trust as follows:
§ 6.1.5.1 If the beneficiary's trust is a Non-GST
Exempt Trust as defined in § 8.2.9 herein, the Trustee shall
distribute the property then held in trust for such
beneficiary to such persons or entities (including the
beneficiary's estate), in such amounts and upon such trusts,
terms and conditions as the beneficiary by his or her last
Will may appoint by specific reference to this general
power of appointment. Any property not so appointed shall
be divided into shares for the beneficiary's issue then
living, per stirpes, or if none, for the issue then living of the
parent of the beneficiary who was a descendant of mine, per
stirpes, or if none, for my issue then living, per stirpes, and
in all circumstances subject to being held in continued trust
in accordance with the provisions of this Article Six.
-5-
§ 6.1.5.2 If the beneficiary's trust is a GST
Exempt Trust as defined in § 8.2.9 herein, the Trustee shall
distribute the property then held in trust for such
beneficiary to such of my issue other than the beneficiary in
such amounts and upon such trusts, terms and conditions as
the beneficiary by his or her last Will may appoint by
specific reference to this special power of appointment.
Before exercising such special power of appointment, I
request that the beneficiary seek counsel regarding the
generation skipping transfer tax effects of such exercise.
Any property not so appointed shall be divided into shares
for the beneficiary's then living issue, per stirpes, or if
none, for the issue then living of the parent of the
beneficiary who was a descendant of mine, per stirpes, or if
none, for my then living issue, per stirpes, and in all
circumstances subject to being held in continued trust in
accordance with the provisions of this Article Six.

has been allocated (the "GST Exempt Trusts") from the portion or portions of the
trust or trusts created hereunder over which neither My GST Exemption nor My
Wife's GST Exemption has been allocated (the "Non-GST Exempt Trusts");
provided, however, that any such separated trusts shall be held, administered and
disposed of in accordance with the terms hereunder as identical trusts in all other
respects, except as provided in § 6.1.5 above;
§ 8.2.10 To disclaim any interest I may have in any estate if the
Executor deems such disclaimer to be in the best interests of my estate and the
beneficiaries thereof;
§ 8.2.11 To merge, after the death of My Wife, any trust created
hereunder with any other trust or trusts created by me or My Wife, under will or
deed, if the terms of any such trust are substantially similar and are held for the
primary benefit of the same persons, and if such merger shall not cause any
adverse income, estate or generation skipping transfer tax consequence;
§ 8.2.12 Following the death of My Wife, to terminate any trust created
herein, the principal of which is or becomes too small in the Trustee's discretion
to make the establishment or continuance of the trust advisable, and to make
immediate distribution of the then remaining trust property to the beneficiary then
entitled to the income of the trust property or, if there is more than one
beneficiary, to the beneficiaries then entitled to the income of the trust property, in
proportion to their respective interests therein or, if such interests are not defined,
in equal shares to such beneficiaries. The receipts and releases of the distributees
will terminate absolutely the right of all persons who might otherwise have a
future interest in the trust, whether vested or contingent, without notice to them
and without the necessity of filing an account in any court; and
§ 8.2.13 To file the appropriate election in accordance with Section
2056(b)(7)(B)(v) of the Internal Revenue Code to designate whatever portion of
the trust established in Article Three of this Will that the Executor, in the
Executor's sole discretion, determines should qualify for the marital deduction. In
making this determination, the Executor is directed to consider the present and
projected financial requirements of My Wife, the expected period of survivorship
of My Wife and the assets that have passed to My Wife other than under the
provisions of this Will. If the Executor does not make an election pursuant to
Internal Revenue Code Section 2056(b)(7)(B)(v) with respect to all of the assets
held in trust under Article Three hereof, the respective trust estates thereunder
maybe divided into separate trusts pursuant to the terms of the election and such
division shall be based upon the fair market value of the assets comprising the
respective trusts at the time of the division.

ARTICLE NINE
PROVISION FOR TAXES
§ 9.1 All estate taxes, inheritance taxes, transfer taxes and other taxes of a similar
nature payable by reason of my death to any government or subdivision thereof upon or with
respect to any property subject to any such tax (solely for the purposes of this Article, "Death
Taxes"), and any penalties thereon, shall be paid by the Executor as follows: (a) if My Wife
survives me, all such Death Taxes and penalties shall be paid out of the principal of the property,
if any, disclaimed by My Wife and, if none or to the extent such disclaimed property is
insufficient, from the principal of that portion of my estate disposed of by Article Four of this
Will; and (b) if My Wife does not survive me, all such Death Taxes and penalties shall be paid
from the principal of that portion of my estate disposed of by Article Five of this Will. All
interest with respect to any such Death Taxes and penalties shall be paid by the Executor out of
the income or principal or partly out of the income and partly out of the principal of such portion
of my estate, in the absolute discretion of the Executor. My Executor shall not make
apportionment among or seek reimbursement from the beneficiaries, recipients or owners of such
property for any such Death Taxes, penalties or interest. Notwithstanding any provision of this
Article to the contrary, the Executor shall not pay any such Death Taxes, penalties or interest
attributable to any property included in my estate solely because of a power of appointment
thereover which I possess but have not exercised or any qualified terminable interest property.
ARTICLE TEN
PROVISION FOR DEBTS AND EXPENSES
§ 10.1 I direct that any of my legally enforceable debts, any expenses of my last illness,
funeral and burial, and any of the administrative expenses of my estate (solely for the purpose of
-10-
this Article, "Debts and Expenses"), shall be paid as follows: (a) if My Wife survives me, all
such Debts and Expenses shall be paid out of the principal of the property, if any, disclaimed by
My Wife and, if none or to the extent such disclaimed property is insufficient, from the principal
of that portion of my estate disposed of by Article Four of this Will; and (b) if My Wife does not
survive me, all such Debts and Expenses shall be paid from the principal of that portion of my
estate disposed of by Article Five of this Will.
ARTICLE ELEVEN
BUSINESS INTERESTS
§ 11.1 In the event any business interests should be an asset of my estate, whether the
same involves a proprietary interest, a partnership interest or stock in a closely held corporation,
whether wholly owned, controlled by me or owned in substantial part by me, I authorize the
Executor and Trustee, as the case maybe (hereinafter referred to as the fiduciaries), subject to the
terms of any agreement I may have made for the sale of my interests, to continue said business
until such time as the fiduciaries shall deem it advisable to sell, to liquidate or to distribute the
same in kind. With respect to any sale or exchange of the stock of any such business interest and
in the absence of any such agreement entered into by me prior to my death, I direct the fiduciaries
to consider and to determine the appropriateness of a sale or redemption of such stock in
accordance with Section 303 of the Internal Revenue Code to the business entity and a possible
deferral of federal estate tax payments under Section 6166 of the Internal Revenue Code. It is my
desire that to the extent possible any business interest which I may own at the time of my death
be continued or disposed of only in an orderly manner so as to maximize the proceeds of any
disposition. If an election under the foregoing provisions will effect such desire, the fiduciaries
are encouraged to pursue such election if the fiduciaries deem such election also to be in the best
-11-
interests of my estate and the beneficiaries thereof. The fiduciaries shall have all rights and
powers in connection with such business as I had when living, including specifically the power at
any time and from time to time to operate or to join in the operation of the same as a going
concern, to form or to reform a general or limited partnership, to incorporate or to reincorporate
and to liquidate or to sell the same or any part thereof as the fiduciaries deem it advisable for the
best interests of my estate and of the beneficiaries thereof without the necessity of any order of
court and without any liability for loss resulting from the operation of said business except when
such loss is the result of gross negligence or fraud on the part of the fiduciaries.
ARTICLE TWELVE
MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS
§ 12.1 As used in this Will, the term "Internal Revenue Code" shall mean the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended from time to time, or the corresponding provision of
subsequent law.
§ 12.2 If My Wife and I die under such circumstances that it is impossible to determine
which of us survived, it shall be conclusively presumed and this Will shall be construed as if My
Wife had survived me. If any person, other than My Wife, and I die under such circumstances
that it is impossible to determine which of us survived, it shall be conclusively presumed and this
Will shall be construed as if such person had predeceased me.
§ 12.3 No Trustee who is under a legal obligation to support a beneficiary of a trust
created hereunder shall participate in the exercise of any discretion granted to the Trustee of that
trust to distribute net income or principal in discharge of that legal obligation. Furthermore, no
-12-
Trustee shall enter into any reciprocal arrangement with any other trustee for the purpose of
indirectly exercising a power prohibited hereunder.
§ 12.4 Whenever a fiduciary is directed to distribute property to or for the benefit of any
beneficiary who is under (a) twenty-one (21) years of age, or (b) a legal disability or otherwise
suffers from an illness or mental or physical disability that would make distribution directly to
such beneficiary inappropriate (as determined in the fiduciary's sole discretion exercised in good
faith), the fiduciary may distribute such property to the person who has custody of such
beneficiary, may apply such property for the benefit of such beneficiary, may distribute such
property to a custodian for such beneficiary, whether then serving or selected and appointed by
the fiduciary (including the fiduciary}, under any applicable Uniform Transfers to Minors Act or
Uniform Gifts to Minors Act, may distribute such property to the guardian of such beneficiary's
estate, may distribute such property directly to such beneficiary's estate, or may distribute such
property directly to such beneficiary (except if any of the conditions hereinbefore described in (b)
apply), without liability on the part of the fiduciary to see to the application of such property.
This provision shall not in any way operate to suspend such beneficiary's absolute ownership of
such property or to prevent the absolute vesting thereof in such beneficiary.
§ 12.5 Except as otherwise maybe provided in this Will, during the continuance of any
of the trusts created under the provisions of this Will, and thereafter until the property is
distributed to and received by any beneficiary hereunder, the principal sums thus held in trust for
any beneficiary, respectively, and the income thereof shall not be subject to or liable for any
contracts, debts, engagements, liabilities or torts of such beneficiary now or hereafter made,
contracted, incurred or committed, but shall be absolutely free from the same, and such
-13-
beneficiary shall have no power to sell, assign or encumber all or any part of the principal sums
or such beneficiary's interest therein, respectively, or the income thereof, or to anticipate the
income.
§ 12.6 A corporate fiduciary shall be entitled to receive compensation for its services
hereunder in accordance with its schedule in effect when the services are performed, but not in
excess of such compensation as would be approved by a court of competent jurisdiction. An
individual fiduciary shall be entitled to receive reasonable compensation for such fiduciary's
services hereunder.
§ 12.7 Notwithstanding any other provision of this Will, upon the expiration of
twenty-one (21) years after the death of the last survivor of My Wife and my issue living at my
death, the trusts created by this Will shall forthwith terminate and the trust property shall be
distributed to the beneficiary then entitled to the income of the trust property or, if there is more
than one beneficiary, to the beneficiaries then entitled to the income of the trust property in
proportion to their respective interests therein or, if such interests are not defined, in equal shares
to such beneficiaries.
