I hereby appoint my daughter, JANET YOUNG, to serve as the exec;utrix of my estate. If Janet Young is unwilling or unable to act as executrix, I hereby appoint m:y daughter, Kathleen Rittner as my executrix. If both of my above named daughters are unwilling or unable to act as executrix, I appoint my son-in-law, David L. Young, as my executor. If David L. Young is unable or unwilling to act as my executor, I appoint Community Banks of Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, or its successor, as my executor hereunder. 2. The fiduciaries herein named shall not be required to post bond or other security for the faithful performance of their duties. 3. I direct that all estate, inheritance, and succession taxes that may be assessed in consequence of my death, of whatsoever nature and by whatsoever jurisdiction impc-sed, shall be paid out of the principal of my general estate to the same effect as if said taxes were expenses of administration, and all property includible in my taxable estate, whether or not passing under this Will, shall be free and clear thereof. 4. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions, my personal representativf; may request the trustee under my Agreement of Trust dated November 26, 2003, to pay any debts, expenses, and taxes which cannot be paid out of my probate estate without necessitating (1) the abatement of any nonresiduary devise or bequest, or (2) the sale of assets which are not readily marketable. Page 1 of 7 S. I give and bequeath to such of my children who survive me by thirty (30) days all furniture, clothing, ornaments, jewelry, pictures, statuary, works of art, silver, plate, bric-a-brac, tapestry, household goods and supplies, books, linen, china, glass, and all implements, tools and plants that maybe in or upon our home or in any other residence used by me at the tame of my death, and all automobiles and other motor vehicles, boats and horses, together with all polices of insurance thereon, to be divided among them in as equal shares as practicable. Should such children be unable to agree upon a division of said property, alternative choices of items of such property shall be made by them until distribution is completed in the following manner: the first choice shall be made by the oldest of my children, the next choice shall be made by t:he next oldest of my children, and so on until distribution is completed. 6. All the rest of my property, of whatsoever nature and wheresoever situate, I bequeath and devise to JANET YOUNG ,trustee under an Agreement of Trust exec;uted by me on November 26, 2003, to be held by my trustee and added to and administered as part of the trusts established by said Agreement of Trust. The said trusts are in existence as of the time of execution of this Will. 7. No provision of this Will shall exercise any power of appointment I rrlay have. 8. No interest, whether in income or principal, of any beneficiary of my estate shall be subject to anticipation, pledge, assignment, sale or transfer in any manner; nor shall any such beneficiary have any power in any manner to charge or incumber his/her interest, whether in income or principal; nor shall the interest, whether in income or principal, of any such beneficiary be liable or subject in any manner while in the possession of my executrix or a trustee or guardian for any liabilities of such beneficiary, whether such liabilities arise from his/her death, debts, contracts, torts or engagements of any type. Page 2 of 7 9. In the administration of my estate, my fiduciaries shall have the following powers, in addition to such powers as they may have my law: (a) To invest and to retain any funds of my estate in any stock, bc-nds, notes or other securities or property, real or personal, including, without limitation, joint ventures or partnerships, notwithstanding that such investments may not be of a character allowed to fiduciaries by statute or general rule of law. (b) To sell or otherwise dispose of any property, real or personal, at any time forming a part of my estate, for cash or upon credit, in such manner and upon such terms and conditions as they may deem best, and no person dealing with them shall be bound to see to the application of any funds paid. (c) To manage, operate, repair, improve, mortgage or lease for an.y terms any real estate at any time held or owned by my estate. (d) To borrow money for the payment of taxes or for any other proper purposes in the administration of my estate from any source, including the executor or any trustee of any trust created by my wife, FRAI\fCES M.

(f) To carry on any business owned or controlled by me at my death for whatever period of time they shall think proper, subject however to other provisions and restrictions provided herein, and they shall have the power Page 3 of 7 to do any and all things they deem necessary or appropriate, including the power to incorporate any unincorporated business, the power to borrow and to pledge assets contained in my estate as security for such. a borrowing, the power to delegate all or any part of the supervision, management and operation of the business to such person or persons as they may select, and the power to close out, liquidate, or sell the business at such time and upon such terms as to them shall seem best. My fiduciaries shall not be held to personal liability for shrinkage of income or loss of capital value that may be incurred in the course of their operation of the business, except loss that may result from their willful misconduct. This general power to carry on and/or to sell my business interests shall, nevertheless, be subject to any and all restrictions that I have ;>et forth in Paragraph 8 herein. (g) In general, to exercise all powers in the management of my estate which any individual could exercise in the management of similar property owned in this own right, upon such terms and conditions as to them may seem best, and to execute and deliver all instruments and to do all acts which they may deem necessary or proper to carry out the purposes of this Will. 10. Any amounts, either of income or principal, which are payable to a minor under this Will may at the sole discretion of my executrix be paid either to a parent of such. minor, to a guardian or guardian over the property of such minor, or to the person who has custody of such minor, or directly to such minor, or may be applied for the use and benefit of such minor. The receipt by such parent, guardian, custodian or minor, or evidence of the application of such Page 4 of 7 amount, shall be a full and complete discharge of my executrix to the extent of such payment or application. 11. If any of my beneficiaries under my Will or under my Agreement of 'Trust dated November 26, 2003 shall contest either my Will or the aforesaid Agreement of Trust, that beneficiary shall forfeit his or her share of my estate and all income and principal due to him or her under my Agreement of Trust, to the extent that such forfeiture is permitted under the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
