LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT
OF
DAVID G. FISHER
12/11/09
I, DAVID G. FISHER, of Mechanicsburg, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania, make
this Will, hereby revoking all my former Wills and Codicils.
ARTICLE ONE
RESIDUE
§ 1.1 I devise and bequeath to my wife, TERRIE P. FISHER, if she survives me, an
amount equal to the elective share of a surviving spouse under and subject to the provisions
of 20 Pa. C.S.A. § 6201, et sec . I devise and bequeath the balance of my estate or all of
my estate if My Wife does not survive me, per stirpes to my issue.
ARTICLE TWO
APPOINTMENT OF FIDUCIARIES
§ 2.1 I appoint such of my daughters, KELLIE FISHER and MOLLIE ARTURI, as
are able and willing to serve, to serve as my Executrices or Executrix, as the case may be,
and 'rf neither is able or willing to serve, I appoint such individual(s) as they or the survivor of
them appoints as their or her successor, and if none, I appoint RICHARD W. STEVENSON
to serve in their place. All references herein to the "Executor" shall mean my originally
appointed Executrices or Executrix or my successor Executor or Executrix, as the case may
be.
§ 2.2 I appoint my Executor(s) then serving hereunder as Guardian of the estates
of any minor beneficiaries under this Will, including the proceeds of any I'rfe insurance on
my life payable to such minors and any other property, rights or claims with respect to which
I am entitled to appoint a guardian and have not otherwise specifically done so. The
Guardian shall have full authority to use such assets, both principal and income, in any
manner the Guardian shall deem advisable for the best interests of the minor, including
college and graduate education, and professional, vocational or technical training, without
securing a court order.
ARTICLE THREE
POWERS OF FIDUCIARIES
§ 3.1 No fiduciary under this Will shall be required to give bond or other security for
the faithful performance of the fiduciary's duties.
§ 3.2 Any such fiduciary shall have the following powers, in addition to those given
by law:
§ 3.2.1 To invest in, accept and retain any real or personal
property, including stock of a corporate fiduciary or its holding company,
without restriction to legal investments;
§ 3.2.2 To sell, exchange, partition or lease for any period of time
any real or personal property and to give options therefor for cash or credit,
with or without security;
§ 3.2.3 To borrow money from any person, including any fiduciary
acting hereunder, and to mortgage or pledge any real or personal property;
§ 3.2.4 To hold shares of stock or other securities in nominee
registration form, including that of a clearing corporation or depository, or in
book entry form or unregistered or in such other form as will pass by delivery;
§ 3.2.5 To engage in litigation and compromise, arbitrate or
abandon claims;
§ 3.2.6 To make distributions in cash, or in kind at current values,
or partly in each, allocating specific assets to particular distrbutees on a
-2-
non-pro rata basis, and for such purposes to make reasonable determinations
of current values;
§ 3.2.7 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;
§ 3.2.8 To join with My Wife or her personal representative in the
filing of a joint income tax return for any period for which such a return may
be permitted, without requiring her or her estate to indemnify my estate
against liability for the tax attributable to her income, and to consent, for
federal gift tax purposes, to having gifts made by My Wife during my lifetime
treated as having been made hall by me;
§ 3.2.9 To allocate, in the Executor's sole and absolute discretion,
any portion of my exemption under Section 2631(a) of the Internal Revenue
Code ("My GST Exemption"), to any property as to which I am the transferor,
including any property transferred by me during my lifetime as to which I did
not make an allocation prior to my death. Similarly, My Wife's Executor may
allocate a portion or all of My Wrfe's exemption ("My Wffe's GST Exemption")
from generation skipping transfer tax to property held hereunder of which My
W'rfe is deemed transferor. Any such election or allocation shall be binding
upon the Trustee and any beneficiary of any trust created hereunder. The
Trustee is directed to divide any trust created under this Will into two (2) or
more separate trusts, if necessary, to segregate the portion or portions of the
trust or trusts created hereunder over which My GST Exemption or My Wife's
GST Exemption has been allocated (the "GST Exempt Trusts") from the
portion or portions of the trust or trusts created hereunder over which neither
My GST Exemption nor My Wife's GST Exemption has been allocated (the
"Non-GST Exempt Trusts"); provided, however, that any such separated
trusts shall be held, administered and disposed of in accordance with the
terms hereunder as identical trusts in all other respects;
§ 3.2.10 To disclaim any interest I may have in any estate if the
Executor deems such disclaimer to be in the best interests of my estate and
the beneficiaries thereof.
ARTICLE FOUR
PROVISION FOR TAXES
§ 4.1 All estate taxes, inheritance taxes, transfer taxes and other taxes of a similar
nature payable by reason of my death to any government or subdivision thereof upon or
with respect to any property subject to any such tax (solely for the purposes of this Article,
-3-
"Death Taxes"), and any penalties thereon, shall be paid by the Executor as follows: (a) if
My Wife survives me, all such Death Taxes and penalties shall be paid out of the principal
of the property, if any, disclaimed by My Wife and, if none or to the extent such disclaimed
property is insufficient, from the principal of that portion of my estate disposed of by Article
One of this Will; and (b) if My Wife does not survive me, all such Death Taxes and penalties
shall be paid from the principal of that portion of my estate disposed of by Article One of this
Will. All interest with respect to any such Death Taxes and penalties shall be paid by the
Executor out of the income or principal or partly out of the income and partly out of the
principal of such portion of my estate, in the absolute discretion of the Executor. My
Executor shall not make apportionment among or seek reimbursement from the
beneficiaries, recipients or owners of such property for any such Death Taxes, penalties or
interest. Notwithstanding any provision of this Article to the contrary, the Executor shall not
pay any such Death Taxes, penalties or interest attributable to any property included in my
estate solely because of a power of appointment thereover which I possess but have not
exercised or any qualified terminable interest property.
ARTICLE FIVE
PROVISION FOR DEBTS AND EXPENSES
§ 5.1 I direct that any of my legally enforceable debts, any expenses of my last
illness, funeral and burial, and any of the administrative expenses of my estate (solely for
the purpose of this Article, "Debts and Expenses"), shall be paid as follows: (a) if My Wife
survives me, all such Debts and Expenses shall be paid out of the principal of the property,
if any, disclaimed by My W ife and, if none or to the extent such disclaimed property is
insufficient, from the principal of that portion of my estate disposed of by Article One of this
-4-
Will; and (b) if My Wife does not survive me, all such Debts and Expenses shall be paid
from the principal of that portion of my estate disposed of by Article One of this Will.
ARTICLE SIX
MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS
§ 6.1 As used in this Will, the term "Intemal Revenue Code" shall mean the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended from time to time, or the corresponding provision of
subsequent law.
§ 6.2 If My Wife and I die under such circumstances that it is impossible to
determine which of us survived, it shall be conclusively presumed and this Will shall be
construed as 'rf My Wife had predeceased me. If any person, other than My Wife, and I die
under such circumstances that it is impossible to determine which of us survived, it shall be
conclusively presumed and this Will shall be construed as ff such person had predeceased
me.
§ 6.3 Whenever a fiduciary is directed to distribute property to or for the benefit of
any beneficiary who is under (a) twenty-five (25) years of age, or (b) a legal disability or
otherwise suffers from an illness or mental or physical disability that would make distribution
directly to such beneficiary inappropriate (as determined in the fiduciary's sole discretion
exercised in good faith), the fiduciary may distribute such property to the person who has
custody of such beneficiary, may apply such property for the benefit of such beneficiary,
may distribute such property to a custodian for such beneficiary, whether then serving or
selected and appointed by the fiduciary (including the fiduciary), under any applicable
Uniform Transfers to Minors Act (to include making the election under Section 5321 of the
-5-
Pennsylvania Probate, Estates and Fiduciaries Code to increase the termination date to age
twenty-five [25]) or Uniform Gifts to Minors Act, may distribute such property to the guardian
of such beneficiary's estate, may distribute such property directly to such beneficiary's
estate, or may distribute such property directly to such beneficiary (except if any of the
conditions hereinbefore described in (b) apply), without liability on the part of the fiduciary to
see to the application of such property. This provision shall not in any way operate to
suspend such beneficiary's absolute ownership of such property or to prevent the absolute
vesting thereof in such beneficiary.
§ 6.4 Except as otherwise may be provided in this Will, during the continuance of
any of the trusts created under the provisions of this Will, and thereafter until the property is
distributed to and received by any beneficiary hereunder, the principal sums thus held in
trust for any beneficiary, respectively, and the income thereof shall not be subject to or
liable for any contracts, debts, engagements, liabilities or torts of such beneficiary now or
hereafter made, contracted, incurred or committed, but shall be absolutely free from the
same, and such beneficiary shall have no power to sell, assign or encumber all or any part
of the principal sums or such beneficiary's interest therein, respectively, or the income
thereof, or to anticipate the income.
§ 6.5 A corporate fiduciary shall be entitled to receive compensation for its services
hereunder in accordance with its schedule in effect when the services are performed, but
not in excess of such compensation as would be approved by a court of competent
jurisdiction. An individual fiduciary shall be entitled to receive reasonable compensation for
such fiduciary's services hereunder.
