LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT
OF
FAITHE M. LIGHT
I, FAITHE M. LIGHT, having my legal residence at Messiah Village, Cumberland County,
Pennsylvania, realizing the uncertainty of this life, but with confidence in God and trust in His Son,
my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, who died for my sins upon the cross and rose again to redeem
me and give me eternal life, do hereby make public and declare this to be my Last Will and
Testament, thereby revoking all other Wills and Codicils heretofore made by me.

ARTICLE THREE
I direct the payment from my estate of the expenses of my last illness and funeral as soon
after my death as conveniently may be done.
ARTICLE FOUR
I intend to leave a memorandum which will direct the distribution of certain items of
tangible personal property, and I request that my wishes as set forth in said memorandum be
followed. To the extent that my tangible personal property is not disposed of by memorandum, all
such items, including any household furniture and furnishings, automobiles, books, pictures,
jewelry, art objects, hobby equipment and collections, wearing appazel, and other articles of
~.
1 , ,/I
personal and household use, equipment and ornament, and all insurance thereon, shall be sold and
the proceeds distributed with the residue of my estate.

ELIZABETH WYRICK, and KRISTA ELYSE WYRICK, provided they survive me by thirty (30)
days. If any of the named beneficiaries fail to survive me by thirty (30) days, his or her share shall
be distributed to the remaining named beneficiaries, pro rata.
ARTICLE SIX
No beneficiary or remainderman under this Will or any codicil hereto or any trust created
hereunder shall have any right to alienate, encumber or hypothecate his or her interest in this Will
or any trust created hereunder in any manner, nor shall any interest of any beneficiary or
i~ ;,,;~ ,
2 % ( ~.
remaindennan be subject to claims of his or her creditors or liable to attachment, execution or other
process of law.
ARTICLE SEVEN
If any such descendant of mine has not reached legal age under the law of the jurisdiction in
which that descendant is domiciled at the time of distribution under this Will, then distribution of
his or her share shall be made instead to my Executor as custodian for that descendant under the
Pennsylvania Uniform Transfer to Minors Act, and all provisions of that Act as they exist at the
time of this my Last Will and Testament shall apply to the distribution. If necessary for legal
transfer to that custodian, my Executor shall convert the assets in that descendant's share to cash or
securities.
ARTICLE EIGHT
I appoint my niece and nephew, DONNA S. SALERNO and BRUCE LIGHT, or the
survivor ofthem, as Co-Executors of my Will. I give to my Co-Executors, in addition to and not in
limitation of the powers given by law or by other provisions of this Will, the following powers with
respect to settlement of my estate to be exercised from time to time in the discretion of my Co-
Executors, without further order or license of the Register of Wills or of any court:
1. To retain any property, pending distribution hereunder, to invest in or purchase any
property without restriction to legal investments for fiduciaries, to distribute property in kind, to
compromise claims, and to sell any property at public or private sale;
2. To borrow money from any person including any fiduciary acting hereunder, and to
mortgage or pledge any real or personal property;
3. To engage in litigation and compromise, arbitrate or abandon claims;
3 _-~ ~
~ ~
~~
~ ~i ' 1
4. To make distributions in cash, or in kind at current values, or partly in each, allocating
specific assets to particular distributees on a non-prorata basis, and for such purposes to make
reasonable determinations of current values;
5. To make elections, decisions, concessions and settlements in connection with all income,
estate, inheritance, gift or other tax returns and the payment of such taxes, without obligation to
adjust the distributive share of income or principal of any person affected thereby;
6. To invest and reinvest in every kind of property and investment which persons of
prudence, discretion and intelligence acquire for their own accounts;
7. To manage, control, repair and improve all real property;
8. To procure and carry at the expense of the estate insurance of the kinds, forms and
amounts deemed advisable by the Co-Executors to protect the Co-Executors and the estate against
any hazard;
9. To pay all taxes, assessments, fees of the Co-Executors and all other expenses incurred
in the collection, care, administration and protection of the estate;
10. To exercise such powers, herein conferred, after the termination of the trust estate until
final distribution of the estate assets; and
11. To do all the acts, to take all the proceedings, and to exercise all the rights, powers and
privileges which an absolute owner of the property would have, subject always to the discharge of
their fiduciary obligations; the enumeration of certain powers in this Will shall not limit the general
or implied powers of the Co-Executors; the Co-Executors shall have all additional powers that may
4
now or hereafter be conferred on them by law or that may be necessary to enable the Co-Executors
to administer the estate in accordance with the provisions of this Will, subject to any limitations
specified in this Will.
No bond shall be required of any fiduciary hereunder in any jurisdiction. No fiduciary
hereunder shall have any liability for any mistake or error of judgment made in good faith.
My Co-Executors shall receive reasonable compensation for their services performed as
determined by the court in which this Will is admitted to probate.
ARTICLE NINE
I realize that Executors are given discretion by law to make various elections which affect
the income and estate taxes payable by estates and beneficiaries, as well as the relative shares of
beneficiaries, such as taking administration expenses as deductions for either estate or income tax
purposes, selecting options for the payment of employee death benefits, electing to take a qualified
terminable interest as part of the marital deduction, selecting alternate valuation dates, postponing
the payment of taxes, filing joint income tax or gift tax returns and redeeming corporate stock. The
decisions made by my fiduciaries in any of these matters shall be binding upon, and not subject to
question by, any affected persons. I rely upon my fiduciaries to take into consideration the total
income and estate taxes payable by reason of their decisions including those payable by my
survivors, and they are authorized in their discretion, but not required, to make adjustments
between income and principal as a result thereof.
d '
5
ARTICLE TEN
I direct that all estate, inheritance and other taxes in the nature thereof, together with any
interest and penalties thereon, becoming payable because of my death with respect to the property
constituting my gross estate for death tax purposes, whether or not such property passes under this
my Last Will and Testament, shall be paid from the principal of my residuary estate, and no person
receiving or having a beneficial interest in any such property, whether under this my Last Will and
Testament or otherwise, shall at any time be required to contribute to or refund any part thereof;
PROVIDED, however, that this direction shall not apply to the taxes on any property included in
my estate solely because of a power of appointment thereover which I possess but have not
exercised or on any qualified terminable interest or to any generation-skipping transfer taxes.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have at Hershey, Pennsylvania, this ~ day of
c~~" , 2000, set my hand and seal to this my Last Will and Testament, consisting of
seven (7) pages.
