EPPINGER I, Russell E. Eppinger, having my legal residence at 6201 Wallingford Way, Mechanicsburg, Cumberland County, Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, hereby declare this to be my Last Will and Testament, revoking all other Wills and Codicils heretofore made by me. ITEM ONE: I direct that the expenses of my last illness and funeral be paid from my estate as soon as practicable after my death. ITEM TWO: I am presently the owner of a 2006 Ford Pony Mustang automobile. If I own that automobile at the time of my death, I give and bequeath the said automobile to Garrett B. Quigley if he survives me. ITEM THREE: I intend to give and bequeath certain items of my tangible personal property to specific individuals as set forth in a letter or memorandum which I shall place with this my Last Will and Testament. I direct that my Executor follow my instructions contained in the said letter or memorandum as to distribution of the items as set forth therein. ITEM FOUR: All of the residue of my estate I give to my wife, Karen L. Eppinger, if she survives me for a period of thirty (30) days. ITEM FIVE: If my wife, Karen L. Eppinger, fails to survive my death by thirty (30) days, then I devise and bequeath all of the residue of my estate as follows: A. I give and bequeath one-third ('/s) of the said residue to my sister, Margaret J. Merritt, of Hershey, Pennsylvania. If Margaret fails to survive my death, this share shall be paid to her issue, per stirpes. B. I give one-third ('/s) of the said residue to Garrett B. Quigley provided, however, that if he has not attained the age ofthirty-five (35) as of the date of my death, this share shall be held by my Trustee as the "Garrett B. Quigley Trust" subject to the provisions of ITEM SIX of this Will. C. I give one-third ('/s) of the said residue to Kellen M. Quigley provided, however, that if she has not attained the age ofthirty-five (3 5) as of the date of my death, this share shall be held by my Trustee as the "Kellen M. Quigley Trust" subject to the provisions of ITEM SIX of this Will. ITEM SIX: The share of the residue of my estate distributable to my Trustee for the benefit of Garrett B. Quigley and/or Kellen M. Quigley shall be paid to Hershey Trust Company to hold in trust in the manner as set forth below: A. The Trustee shall pay the income therefrom quarter-annually to or for the benefit of the said beneficiary and may expend in addition such sums from principal as it considers advisable, in view of other readily available funds of which it has knowledge, to provide for the welfare and comfortable support of the beneficiary, including educational and funeral expenses; provided, however, that the beneficiary shall have the right to withdraw 2 portions of the principal in accordance with the following schedule: after his or her twenty- fifth (25th) birthday, one-half of the principal; after his orherthirty-fifth (35th) birthday, any or all principal. If the Trustee at any time considers the principal to be insufficient to warrant continuing the trust, it may pay the remaining principal to the beneficiary free of trust. If the beneficiary dies before the complete termination of the trust, the principal shall be distributed outright to my issue, per stirpes. B. During the minority of any beneficiary to whom the Trustee is authorized or directed to pay income, the Trustee may pay the same to the person having custody of said minor, without liability on the part of the Trustee to see to the application thereof, to the guardian of his or her estate, or to a custodian for him or her under the Uniform Transfers to Minors Act, or may deposit the same in an interest bearing account in the minor's name in any bank and trust company or national banking association of its choosing. C. The interest of any beneficiary hereunder, including a remainderman, in income or principal, shall not be subject to assignment, alienation, pledge, attachment or claims of creditors until after payment has actually been made by the Trustee as hereinbefore provided. D. Upon the death of any Income beneficiary, any Income accrued or received by the Trustee subsequent to the last Income payment date shall be paid to the person or persons for whose benefit the principal producing such Income is continued in trust or to whom such principal is distributed under the terms hereof. E. Corporate distributions received in shares of the distributing corporation shall be allocated to principal, regardless of the number of shares and however described or 3 designated by the distributing corporation. F. If any person under the age of twenty-one (21) years is entitled to a share of principal upon the termination of any foregoing trust, such share shall be paid to a custodian for said beneficiary under the provisions of the Pennsylvania Uniform Transfer to Minors Act. I hereby authorize my Trustee to select and appoint any person or trust company including the Trustee as custodian to receive payment of such share. ITEM SEVEN: The Trustee hereunder shall have the following powers, in addition to and not in limitation of those granted bylaw: A. To take, hold or retain all or any part of the Trust Estate hereby created in the form acquired as long as it deems advisable and to receive all the income, increments, rents and profits therefrom.

D. To cause securities which may from time to time comprise any part of this Trust Estate to be registered in its name as Trustee or in the name of any nominee or to take and keep the same unregistered and retain them or any part thereof in such condition that they will pass by delivery without disclosing the fact that the property is held in a fiduciary capacity.

O. To exercise in addition all powers granted the Trustee by the Uniform Trust Act, 20 Pa. C.S.A. Chapter 77.

I authorize my legal representatives to pay all such taxes at such time or times as maybe deemed advisable. ITEM NINE: I appoint my wife, Karen L. Eppinger, Executrix of this my Last Will and direct that she be permitted to serve without bond and without any intervention of any court except as required by law.
