HESS, o Mechan csburg, Cumberlan d Count T Pennsylvania, make, publish and declare this as and for my Last Will and Testament, hereby revoking all other Wills and Codicils heretofore made by me.

SECOND: I devise and bequeath all the rest, residue and remainder of my estate of whatever nature and wherever situate, including any property over which I hold power of appointment and together with any insurance policies thereon, in equal shares, to my children, LINDA J. BENEDETTO, BARBARA A. HANNA, SUSAN C. CARDENAS, STEVEN M. HESS and GARY L. HESS, provided that should any of my children predecease me, I give and bequeath such child's share unto his or her issue per stirpes by representation, and if there be a failure of same, then give and ~equeath such deceased child's share, in equal shares, to my surviving children as provided herein. THIRD: Should any of my grandchildren not have at- tained the age of twenty-two (22) years at the time for dis- tribution to him or her, I give, devise and bequeath the share of each such grandchild to my hereinafter named Trustee or Trustees, IN SEPARATE TRUSTS, to hold, manage, invest and reinvest the shares so received, and to use and apply from time to time such portion of income and principal for the said grandchild's education (including college, trade school or other similar training or education), as my Trustee or Trustees, in their sole discretion, deem advisable. The Trustee or Trustees, in exercis- ing their discretionary authority with respect to the payment of income or principal of the within Trust to my grandchildren, shall take into consideration any income or other resources available to my grandchildren from sources outside this Trust. Any income or principal not so applied shall be dis- tributed to each grandchild when he or she attains the age of twenty-two (22) years. In the event any of my grandchildren die prior to the termination of this Trust established herein for their benefit, the interest of said grandchild in said Trust shall cease with any income and principal being divided evenly between or among that deceased grandchild's brothers or sisters or the separate Trusts established hereunder for their benefit and, in the absence of any brothers or sisters, or any Trusts established hereunder for their benefit, to my other grandchil- dren, or the Trusts established hereunder for their benefit, in equal shares. FOURTH: In addition to all powers granted to them by law and by other provisions of this Will, I give the fiduciaries acting hereunder the following powers, applicable to all proper- ty, exercisable without court approval and effective until actual distribution of all property: (A) To sell at public or private sale, or to lease, for any period of time, any real or personal property and to give options for sales, exchanges or leases, for such prices and upon such terms (including credit, with or without security) or conditions as are deemed proper. This includes the power to give legally sufficient instruments for transfer of the property and to receive the proceeds of any disposition of it. (B) To partition, subdivide, or improve real estate and to enter into agreements concerning the partition, subdivi- sion, improvement, zoning or management of real estate and to impose or extinguish restrictions on real estate. 2 (C) To compromise any claim or controversy and to abandon any property which is of little or no value. (D) To invest in all forms of property, including stocks, common trust funds and mortgage investment funds, without restriction to investments authorized for Pennsylvania fiduci- aries, as are deemed proper, without regard to any principle of diversification, risk or productivity. (E) To exercise any option, right or privilege granted in insurance policies or in other investments. (F) To exercise any election or privilege given by the Federal and other tax laws, including, but not necessarily being limited to, personal income, gift and estate or inheritance tax laws. (G) To make distributions to my herein named benefici- aries in cash or in kind or partly in each. (H) To borrow money from themselves or others in order to pay debts, taxes, or estate or trust administration expenses, to protect or improve any property held under my will, and for investment purposes. (I) To select a mode of payment under any qualified retirement plan (pension plan, profit sharing plan, employee stock ownership plan, or any other type of qualified plan) to the extent the plan or the law permits them to do so, and to exercise 'any other rights which they may have under the plan, in whatever manner they consider advisable.
