THEODOSIA M. RABER ~- __ _ _., ; ~ ~ -~ --~ ,. ~l,j I, THEODOSIA M. RABER, of Cumberland County, Pennsylvania, declare this to be my Will and revoke all prior Wills. FIRST: Tangible Personal PropertX: I give all of my tangible personal property, including any automobiles, together with all insurance on such property, to GEORGE T. RABER, III and MARJORIE HILL, to be divided among them as they shall agree. If GEORGE T. RABER, III and MARJORIE HILL are unable to agree upon a division, each individual shall draw lots to determine the order of selection and shall alternate choice of articles until distribution is completed. My Executor shall pay, as an expense of settling my estate, the costs of packing, storage, shipping and insurance incurred in connection with the distribution of the gifts of tangible personal property made above. SECOND: Pecuniary Bequests: I make the following bequests: A. I give to my grandson, GEORGE RABER, the sum of One Thousand Dollars ($1,000.00), if he survives me; B. I give to my grandson, RODNEY RABER, the sum of One Thousand Dollars ($1,000.00); if he survives me; C. I give to my grandson, RYAN CASTORO, the sum of One Thousand Dollars ($1,000.00); if he survives me; and D. I give to my granddaughter, DIANE GLANTZ, the sum of One Thousand Dollars ($1,000.00); if she survives me. 14'7285.1 12/31/08 THIRD: Residue: I give, devise and bequeath all of the residue of my estate, of whatever nature and wherever situated, to the Trustee hereinafter named, and the Trustee shall divide such residue into two equal shares and distribute one share to GEORGE T. RABER, III and distribute one share to MARJORIE HILL. In the event that GEORGE T. RABER, III or MARJORIE HILL predecease me and have living issue, I direct that the share of such deceased individual be distributed to such deceased individual's living issue, per stirpes. To the extent that there is a failure of beneficiaries for either share, such share shall be added to other share for administration and distribution. FOURTH: Trust Provisions for Certain Beneficiaries: A. Any income or principal distributable to a beneficiary under the age of twenty-five or a beneficiary who, in the sole determination of the Executor or Trustee, is incapacitated, shall be held in a trust fund by the Executor during the administration of my estate and thereafter by the Trustee. The Executor or Trustee may apply such amounts of the income and principal otherwise distributable as the Executor or Trustee, in the sole discretion of the Executor or Trustee, deems proper for the support, health, education and welfare of such beneficiary, either by direct payment of bills, or by payments to such beneficiary, his or her duly appointed guardian of the estate or person, or any person (including the parent of a beneficiary under the age of twenty-five) who has the care or control of such beneficiary, as the Executor or Trustee selects. B. The Executor or Trustee shall distribute the balance of principal of any fund held in trust hereunder to such beneficiary when the beneficiary attains age twenty-five or, in the sole determination of the Executor or Trustee, is no longer incapacitated, whichever is 147285.1 12/31/08 -2- later. If such beneficiary dies before attaining age twenty-five or while incapacitated, distribution shall be made to the estate of the beneficiary. C. Whenever, in the sole determination of the Executor or Trustee, any fund held in trust under this Article FOURTH is or has become too small to warrant establishing or continuing such fund in trust, or its administration is or becomes impractical for any other reason, the Executor or Trustee, in the Executor or Trustee's sole discretion, may pay such fund, outright, to the guardian of the estate or person of the beneficiary of such fund, or to any person (including the parent of a beneficiary under the age of twenty-five) who has the care or control of such beneficiary. In the case of a beneficiary under the age of twenty-five, the Executor or Trustee may pay such fund, outright, to a custodian for such beneficiary under the age of twenty- five under a Uniform Transfers to Minors Act or Uniform Gifts to Minors Act or may deposit such fund in an interest-bearing account in a financial institution of the Executor or Trustee's choosing, payable to the beneficiary upon attaining age twenty-five. D. The Executor or Trustee shall not be obliged to supervise or inquire into the application of any distributions of income or principal made under this article and the receipt by a payee designated hereunder shall be a complete release of the Executor or Trustee. FIFTH: Protective Provision: All principal and income shall, until actual distribution to the beneficiary, be free of the debts, contracts, alienations and anticipations of any beneficiary, and shall not be liable to any levy, attachment, execution or sequestration while in the hands of my Executor or Trustee. SIXTH: Tax Clause: All estate, inheritance, succession and other death taxes, imposed or payable by reason of my death, and any penalties thereon, with respect to all property owned by me at the time of my death and passing under this Will or any Codicil (the 147285.1 12/31/08 -3- "Taxes"), shall be paid out of the principal of my residuary estate, as if the Taxes were administration expenses, without apportionment or right of reimbursement. The Taxes shall be paid at such time or times as my Executor may deem advisable. SEVENTH: Disinheritance: I have intentionally omitted ELIZABETH ANN GLANTZ and CAROL THORP from this my Last Will and Testament. It is my desire that ELIZABETH ANN GLANTZ and CAROL THORP not receive any benefit from my Estate. EIGHTH: Children and Adopted Persons: For the purposes of this Will, persons adopted during minority shall be considered as children of their adoptive parents, and they and their descendants shall be considered as descendants of their adoptive parents. NINTH: Powers of Executor and Trustee: In addition to the powers given by law, my Executor and Trustee, and any successors, without any order of court and in the sole discretion of the Executor and Trustee, may: a. Retain any real or personal property, as long as deemed advisable. b. Invest in any real or personal property in accordance with the prudent investor rule. c. Subscribe for stocks, bonds or other investments; join in any plan of lease, mortgage, merger, consolidation, exchange, reorganization, foreclosure or voting trust and deposit securities thereunder; and generally exercise all the rights of security holders or employees of any corporation. d. Register securities in the name of a nominee or in such manner that title will pass by delivery. e. Vote securities in person or by proxy, and in such connection delegate discretionary powers. £ Repair, alter, improve or lease, for any period of time, any real or personal property, and give options for leases. g. Sell at public or private sale, for cash or credit, with or without security, exchange or partition any real or personal property, and give options for sales or exchanges. 14728 S. I 12/31 /08 -4- h. Borrow money from any person, including any fiduciary, and mortgage or pledge any real or personal property. i. Disclaim any interest or power granted to me under any instrument or by operation of law. j. Employ investment and legal counsel, accountants, brokers and other specialists, and, whenever there shall be no corporate fiduciary in office, a corporate custodian, and compensate them and reimburse their expenses out of income or principal or both (in addition to fiduciary commissions), and delegate to investment counsel (including an account executive at a securities firm) discretion with respect to the investment and reinvestment of any or all of the assets held hereunder. k. Pay administration expenses, including, without limitation, interest on death taxes ("administration expenses") from principal or income, including income otherwise payable to charity; provided, however, that no allocation of administration expenses to income shall be made that would prevent any assets from otherwise qualifying for the federal estate tax charitable deduction. 1. Use administration expenses as deductions for federal estate tax purposes or fiduciary income tax purposes or partly for each, without making adjustments between principal and income in consequence of the exercise of such discretionary power. m. File joint income tax returns with my [spouse] and pay a portion of such tax, and consent to gifts made by my [spouse] and pay a portion of any gift tax thereon. n. Compromise claims. o. Divide any trust hereunder, which division may be made on a non- pro rata basis, into two or more separate and independent trusts and make any principal distributions otherwise authorized hereunder from the trusts on a non-pro rata basis. p. Add to the principal of any trust created hereby any property received from any person by Deed, Will or in any other manner. q. At any time merge any trust hereunder with any other trust held by my Executor and Trustee, whether created by me or by any other person by Will or Deed, if the terms of the trust are then substantially similar and held for the primary benefit of the same person or persons. r. Make distributions without the consent of any beneficiary, in cash or in specific property, real or personal, or an undivided interest therein, or partly in cash and partly in such property and do so, except as otherwise specifically provided elsewhere herein, without regard to the income tax basis of specific property allocated to any beneficiary (including any trust) and without making pro rata distribution of specific assets. 147285.1 12/31/08 -5- s. Allocate basis pursuant to Section 1022 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or successor provisions (the "Code"); provided, however, that such allocation shall be made in a fair and equitable manner among the beneficiaries of my estate, as my Executor, in my Executor's sole discretion, shall determine. t. Exercise all power, authority and discretion given hereby, after the termination of any trust created herein until the same is fully distributed. My Executor and Trustee may make, but shall not be required to make, any adjustment of the amount distributed to any beneficiary who would have received a greater or lesser amount if my Executor and Trustee had made a different or contrary decision in reference to any of the above matters. I exonerate my Executor and Trustee from any liability arising from any exercise or failure to exercise these powers, provided the actions (or inactions) of my Executor and Trustee are taken in good faith. TENTH: Appointment of Fiduciaries: I appoint GEORGE T. RABER, III Executor of and Trustee under this Will. Should GEORGE T. RABER, III, for any reason, fail to qualify or cease to act as such during the administration of my estate or any trust, I appoint MARJORIE HILL Executor of and Trustee under this Will. No Executor or Trustee appointed herein shall be required to give bond or furnish sureties in any jurisdiction. Each successor Executor and Trustee appointed as provided herein shall have the same duties, powers and discretion as if originally appointed.
