LAST SVILL AND TESTAMENT
OF
BRETT H. SRILLINCiER
I, Brett H. Brillinger, a resident of Springettsbury Township,
York County, Pennsylvania, being of sound mind and disposing
memory, and not acting under undue influence of any person
whomsoever, do make, publish and declare this my last will and
testament, hereby revoking any and all wills by me heretofore
made.

FIRST: I give, devise and bequeath all of my property, whether
real, personal or mixed, of which I shall die seized and
possessed, and to which I may be entitled at the time of my
decease, and wherever the same may be situated, unto my apouae,
Amy C. Brillinger, if she shall survive me by thirty (30) days;
provided, however, that if my apouae shall not survive me by
thirty (30) days, I give, devise and bequeath all of my property
referred to in this paragraph in accordance with Paragraph SECOND
hereof.
SECOND: If my spouse shall not survive me by thirty (30) days, I
give, devise and bequeath all of the rest, residue, and remainder
of my property referred to in Paragraph FIRST hereof, unto
Ruth W. Brillinger, my mother, hereinafter referred to as
"Trustee", in trust, nevertheless, under and subject to the
following terms and conditions and for the following uses and
purposes:
1. The principal of the trust shall be divided into as
many equal shares as there are children of mine then living and
children then dead, leaving issue then living. One share shall
be paid per stirpes to the living issue of each of my deceased
children; provided, however, that if any such beneficiary shall
not yet have attained the age of twenty-one (21) years, the
Trustee shall hold the same in accordance herewith. The term
children shall mean Autumn J. Brillinger. If I have any
additional children hereafter, the term children shall also
include such afterborn individuals.
2. Except as otherwise provided in this will, the
Trustee shall accumulate the income on such shares held in trust
until such children attain the age of twenty-one (21) years. As
each child becomes twenty-one (21) years old, the Trustee shall
pay over to such child such accumulated income. Thereafter, the
Trustee shall pay the income arising from the remainder of the
principal of each child's trust to the child, quarterly, until
such beneficiary shall attain the age of twenty-five (25) years,
at which time the Trustee shall pay over to such beneficiary the
principal of his or her trust.
3. In any instance where a share in my estate would be
distributable to a beneficiary of any trust when received by the
Trustee, my Personal Representative may make distribution
directly to such beneficiary.
4. If any child of mine shall die before final distri-
bution of the principal of his or her trust is made to the child,
any income and/or principal that may be payable to the child
under his or her trust shall be distributed to the issue then
living of such deceased child, per stirpes, and shall be held and
be distributed unto such issue in accordance herewith.
5. If any child shall die at any time before final
distribution of the principal of his or her trust is made to the
child, without the child's leaving any issue to survive him or
her to take under the paragraph immediately preceding this one,
any income and/or principal that may be payable to the child from
his or her trust shall be distributed to my other children
equally, or to the issue of such deceased children, if any, such
issue to take per stirpes, and such income and/or principal shall
2
be payable in the manner aforesaid as other payments of principal
and income are to be made to such persons.
6. If all the beneficiaries of such trust shall die
before final distribution is made to them, then any income and/or
principal that may be remaining unpaid or undistributed shall be
distributed one-half (~) to the persona who would have been
entitled to inherit it from me under the Pennsylvania intestate
law if I had died intestate at that time, domiciled in that
state, and possessed of such income and principal and one-half
(~) thereof to the persona who would have been entitled to
inherit it from my spouse under the same statute and similar
circumstances if my spouse had died at that time; provided,
however, that any share which would otherwise pass to the
Commonwealth shall instead be paid to a charity or charities
selected by the Trustee.
7. The Trustee may, however, in the Trustee's own
discretion, from time to time before final distribution of the
principal of his or her trust is distributed to any child, pay
and/or apply to or for the child's maintenance, support, care and
education, the accumulated and accruing net income from his or
her trust and so much of the principal of the trust, in whole or
in part, in such manner and to such extent as the Trustee shall
deem to be for the interest of such beneficiary. The Trustee is
authorized to make such payments of principal or income on behalf
of such beneficiary without the intervention or appointment of a
guardian for such beneficiary.
8. Any share of this trust, income or principal, which
becomes distributable to a beneficiary, other than my children,
shall be held in trust by my Trustee until such beneficiary be-
comes twenty-one (21) years of age. Subject to the provisions
herein contained, such share shall be distributed to such
beneficiary when he or she becomes twenty-one (21) years
3
of age. If such beneficiary should die before becoming
twenty-one (21) years of age, any property or principal or
accumulated income so held shall form part of the estate of such
beneficiary. My Trustee may apply such amounts of income and
principal as the Trustee, in the Trustee's sole discretion, shall
deem proper for the support, education and welfare of such
beneficiary and shall accumulate any unexpended balance of
income. Such amounts of income and principal may be applied
directly or may be paid to the person with whom such beneficiary
resides or who has the care and control of such beneficiary,
without the intervention of a guardian. My Trustee shall not be
obliged to supervise or inquire into the application of such
amounts by such person and the receipt of such person shall be a
complete release of my Trustee. Should the share of such
beneficiary, in the sole opinion of my Trustee, be or become too
small to warrant continuing such fund in trust, or should its
administration be or become impractical for any other reason, my
Trustee, in the Trustee's sole discretion, may pay such share
absolutely to the parent or other person maintaining the
beneficiary or may deposit such share in the beneficiary's name
in a savings account in a savings institution of the Trustee's
choosing, payable to the beneficiary when he or she attains
twenty-one (21) years of age.
9. The Trustee shall have the powers as set forth in
Paragraph THIRD of this my last will and testament.
10. All principal and income shall, until actual
distribution to the beneficiary, be free of the debts, contracts,
alienations and anticipations of any beneficiary of any trust
created by this will, and the same shall not be liable to any
levy, attachment, execution or sequestration while in the posses-
sion of the Trustee.
4
11. If Ruth W. Brillinger fails to qualify or ceases
to act as Trustee, I appoint Beth Ellen Brillinger, my sister, as
successor trustee.
THIRD: In addition to all rights and powers conferred by law, I
authorize and empower my Personal Representative and Trustee and
their successors, in their absolute discretion and without
necessity of obtaining court approval:
1. To retain any of the investments composing the
principal of this trust in the form in which the same shall have
been delivered to the Trustee whether or not the same be in the
nature and type legal for the investment of trust funds under the
laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, including the stock of
any corporate fiduciary acting hereunder.
2. To invest in all forma of property (including, but
not by way of limitation, real estate, all types of stocks and
bonds, and participations in common trust funds), without being
confined to inveatmenta prescribed by statute and without being
required to diversify.
3. To buy inveatmenta at a premium or discount.
4. To hold property unregistered or in the name of a
nominee.
5. To give proxies, both ministerial and
discretionary.
6. To compromise claims.
7. To join in any merger, consolidation, reorgani-
zation, voting trust plan, or any other concerted action of
security holders and to delegate discretionary duties with
respect thereto.
8. To lend to, and to buy from, my estate.
9. To borrow from the Trustee or from others and to
pledge real and personal property as security therefor.
10. To sell at public or private sale for cash or
credit or partly for each, to exchange, or to lease for any
period of time, any real or personal property, and to give
options for sales, exchanges, or leases.
il. To allocate any property received or charge
incurred to principal or income or partly to each, without being
obliged to apply the usual rules of trust accounting.
12. To exercise any option permitted by law which they
believe to be advantageous from the viewpoint of overall tax
reductions, including, without limitation of the foregoing, power
and authority to claim administration or other expenses either as
income tax deductions or inheritance or estate tax deductions,
without regard to whether they were paid from principal or income
and without requiring adjustments between principal and income
for any resulting effect on income or estate taxes, and a
deduction of such expenses for income tax purposes shall be given
5
effect in computing the respective shares of all persona
interested in my estate or the trusts set forth herein, even
though the effect is to increase the share of one beneficiary or
class of beneficiaries hereunder at the expense of another; and
to make such adjustments, if any, between beneficiaries with
respect thereto as they deem appropriate in view of the nature of
the transaction and the amounts involved.
13. When permitted under the internal revenue laws of
the United States, or of any state, to join with my spouse in
filing a joint income tax return without requiring my spouse to
indemnify my estate against liability for the tax attributable to
my spouse's income, and to consent to any gifts made by my spouse
during my lifetime being treated as having been made one-half by
me for the purpose of federal laws relating to gift tax.
14. To distribute in cash or in kind or partly in each.
15. To make appointment of and to pay to or for the
benefit of any beneficiary, out of the principal from which
income is paid to such beneficiary, such amounts of such
principal as the Trustee shall be of the opinion should be paid
and applied for the maintenance, care, support and education of
such beneficiary, the judgment of the Trustee to be conclusive in
each instance as to the advisability of making such payments.
The powers granted hereunder shall be exercisable with
respect to all real and personal property - including, but not
limited to, income and principal held for minors or disabled
beneficiaries at any time held by the Trustee and shall continue
in full force, even after the termination of the trust hereunder
until the actual distribution of all property. All powers,
authorities and discretion granted by this trust shall be in
addition to those granted by law and shall be exercisable without
leave of court.
FOURTH: In the event my spouse does not survive me, I appoint
Ruth W. Brillinger as Guardian of the person of any minor child
of mine. If Ruth W. Brillinger fails to qualify or ceases to act
in such capacity, I appoint Beth Ellen Brillinger as successor
Guardian.
FIFTH: S appoint my spouse, Amy C. Brillinger, as Personal
Representative of this my last will and testament. Should my
spouse fail to qualify or cease to act in such capacity, I
6
appoint Ruth W. Brillinger, or if she fails to qualify or ceases
to act in such capacity, Beth Ellen Brillinger, as Personal
Representative of this my last will and testament. No fiduciary
named herein shall be required to enter bond or furnish sureties
in any jurisdiction.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand and seal this
