A. Tangible Personal Property
(1) I give my tangible personal property to my husband if he survives me.
(2) If my husband does not survive me, my Executor shall divide my tangible
pe°rsonal property into two shares. The first share shall consist of all tangible personal property mti~
Executor may deem appropriate for distribution to my children in kind, and I give this share equally
to my children. The second share shall consist of the balance of my tangible personal property, and
my Executor shall sell this share and add the net proceeds to my residuary estate.
B. Principal Residence. I give all my interest in my principal residence, including all
adjoining real property anal related casualty insurance, to my husband if he survives me. This gift
includes any interest in a condominium or cooperative apartment if it is my principal residence at
my death.
C. Residue of Estate. If my husband survives me, my Executor shall divide the residue
of my real anal personal. estate including my interests in all stocks, bonds and bank. deposits into the
Marital Share and the Credit Trust as directed in Article N. If my husband does not survive me,
all the residue shall constitute the Credit Trust. I give the Marital Share to my husband outright.
I give the Credit Trust to my Trustee to be administered as directed in Article II.
.Article II. Credit Trust
A. During.My Husband's Lifetime. My Trustee shall pay the net income of the Credit
'Trust to my husband during his lifetime in quarterly or more frequent installments and may pay to
him as much of the principal as my Trustee may deem necessary for his support and health.
B. Upon Survivor's Death. Upon the death of the survivor of m_y husband and me, my
"Trustee shall distribute the principal and any undistributed income of the Credit Trust to my then
living lineal descendants, as follows: one fifth is given to each of my children, SAMUEL C.
PvIILLER, III, LINDA M. WAGNER, DEBRA M. LATSHA and JOHN R. MILLER, (or in the event
the child predeceases the survivor of my husband and I, to that child's heirs). The remaining one
fifth part is to be divided equally among all my living lineal descendent grandchildren; provided,
the share that would pass to any grandchild of mine who has not reached age twenty-one shall be
retained in a separate trust to be administered as directed in the following paragraphs.
(1) Grandchild's Separate Trust. My Trustee may pay to or for the benefit of the
grandchild as much of the income and principal as my Trustee may deem necessary for the
g;randchild's support, health and education (including higher education).
(2 } Termination ofGrandchild's Trust. When the grandchild reaches age riventy-
one, my Trustee shall distribute the remaining principal and any undistributed income of the trust
to the grandchild. If the grandchild dies before reaching that age, my Trustee shall distribute the
principal and any undistributed income to the grandchild's then living lineal descendants, per
stirpes, or if there are none, to my then living lineal. descendants, per stirpes; provided, the share that
would pass to any other grandchild of mine who has not reached age twenty-one shall be added to
such grandchild's separate trust.

pursuant to either paragraph A or paragraph B below.

Trustee, to be held in trust, or my Trustee may continue to hold such interest in trust In either case,

(;including higher education). When the beneficiary reaches age twenty-one, my Trustee shall
distribute the trust assets to the beneficiary. if the beneficiary dies before reaching that age, my

ficiary's interest to a custodian under the Uniform Transfers to Minors Act (21).
C. Vesting Not Postponed. The provisions of this Article shall not postpone vesting of
any interest in the beneficiary.
Article 1V. Division into Credit Trust and Marital Share.
A. Division of Residue. If my husband survives me my Executor shall divide the
principal of the residue of my estate into the Credit Trust and the Marital Share in the manner
described in this Article.
B. Credit Trust Fractional Share. The Credit Trust shall consist of a fractional share of
the residue. The numerator of the fraction shall equal the largest value of the residue that can pass
free of federal estate tax by reason of the unified credit and the credit for state death taxes (to the
extent the use of such credit does not increase state death taxes} allowable to my estate, after
reduction by reason of (1) my adjusted taxable gifts, (2}other dispositions of property included in
my gross estate for which no marital, charitable or other deduction is allowed in computing my
:Federal estate tax and (3) administration expenses and other charges to principal that are not claimed
and allowed as federal estate tax deductions. The denominator ofthe fraction shall equal the value
of the residue based upon values as finally determined for federal estate tax purposes.
C. Marital Share Fractional Share. The Marital Share shall consist of the remaining
fractional share of the residue.
D. Tax Elections. Any portion of the Marital Share for which the marital deduction is
not allowed in computing my federal estate tax by reason of a qualified disclaimer shall not be
deemed "other dispositions of property" under clause (2) of paragraph B. I realize that the
fractional shares of the Credit Trust and Marital Share may otherwise be affected by the exercise
of certain tax elections.
E. Assets Not Subject to Division. My Executor shall segregate and add to the Credit
Trust all assets that are not included in my gross estate, and such assets shall not be subject to the
fractional division described in this Article.
F. Allocation of Assets. My Executor shall not allocate to the Marital Share anv
property or proceeds of property that cannot qualify for the marital deduction. To the extent
:possible, my Executor shall not allocate to the Marital Share any assets upon which a foreign death
tax is payable. In other respects my Executor may allocate assets as my Executor may deem to be
yin the best interests of the beneficiaries, valuing each asset on the date of allocation.
G. Allocation of Income. Income earned on the residue before the division (and income
on assets used to make the payments under Article V) shall retain its character as income and shall
be allocated in the same fractions. Income earned on assets that are not included in my gross estate
shall retain its character as income in the Credit Trust.
Article V. Debts, Taxes and Other Charges
A. Debts and Funeral Expenses. My Executor shall pay or provide for the payment of
my debts and the expenses of my funeral and burial (including the cost of a headstone or marker).
My Executor shall not seek contribution from my husband on our joint debts. However, if my
husband wishes to retain any residence or other real property subject to a mortgage or similar indebt-
edness, my Executor may elect not to pay the indebtedness.
B. Taxes. My Executor shall pay or provide for the payment of all estate, inheritance
and similar taxes payable by reason of my death, including taxes on assets not passing under this
Will and interest on taxes. Except as otherwise provided with respect to certain disclaimed
property, the taxes and interest shall be paid as a cost of administering my estate and without
apportionment.
Article VI. Fiduciaries.
A. Executors and Trustees. l name my son SAMUEL C. MILLER, III to be m~
:Executor and my Trustee. If he fails to qualify or ceases to serve, I name my son JOHN R. MILLF,R
to be my Executor and my Trustee. I request that no security be required of my Executor or my
Trustee. I direct that my Trustee shall not be required to file annual accounts with any court as
otherwise required by the laws of Pennsylvania or any other jurisdiction.
B. Compensation. Any individual serving as Executor or Trustee shall be entitled to
receive reasonable compensation for fiduciary services.
C. Fiduciary Powers. I give my Executor and Trustee the following powers, which are
to be construed in the broadest manner consistent with the validity and with their duties as
fiduciaries. I give the powers stated here in addition to those granted by law and I give them to
fiduciaries who succeed the fiduciaries I have appointed.
a. To retain any and all of the assets of my estate, real or personal, without
regard to any principle of diversification or risk.
b. To invest in all forms of property, including stocks, common trust funds and

rnent of interest due on such installments to be a charge against principal.
k To make distribution in cash and in kind, and in such manner as they may
determine, and at valuation finally to be fixed by them.

exercise any power in a manner that would infringe upon any legal reQuirement for the allowance
of the marital deduction.
E. Merger. My Trustee may merge or consolidate for administrative purposes any trust
under my Will with any other trust made by me or my husband having the same Trustee and suh-
stantially the same dispositive provisions.
F. Termination of Small Trusts. If at any time the size of any trust under my Will is so
small that, in the opinion of my Trustee other than any income beneficiary of the trust, the trust
uneconomical to administer, my Trustee may terminate the trust and distribute the assets among the
~aersons then authorized to receive trust income in such shares as my Trustee may deem appropriate.
G. Allocation of Assets. Assets allocated to one trust or share may be of different
character or have different income tax bases than. assets allocated to another trust or share.
H. Fiduciary Discretion. The powers and discretion granted to my Executor and my
Trustee are exercisable only in a fiduciary capacity and may not be used to enlarge or shift any
beneficial interest except as an incidental consequence of the discharge of fiduciary duties. My
Trustee may make discretionary payments to the beneficiaries of any trust in unequal shares and
rnay, but shall not be required to, consider other resources available to any beneficiary. My Executor
<<nd my Trustee may make tax elections without regard to the relative interests of anv beneficiaries
and may, but shall not be required to, make equitable adjustments among beneficiaries.
Restrictions on Individual Trustees. No individual serving as Trustee shall have
voice in any discretionary decision to distribute incame or principal of any trust in order to discharge
a~ legal obligation of the individual or for the individual's pecuniary benefit unless necessary for the

B. Survivorship. I shall be deemed to have survived my husband if we die
simultaneously or if, in the opinion of my Executor, there is no sufficient evidence we have died

Trust}. Any additional estate or inheritance taxes attributable to any disclaimer ofthe Marital Share
~or other property qualifying for the marital deduction shall. be paid from the disclaimed property.
