ry...,. --~'
§ 1.1 I bequeath all my tangible personal property, including by way of illustration but
not by way of limitation, my household furniture and furnishings, paintings, books, automobiles,
jewelry and personal effects, exclusive of any such property used in a trade or business, in
accordance with the terms of a signed and dated memorandum I may prepare. If no such
memorandum is received or located by my Executor within sixty (60) days after being appointed
as such, after a reasonable search for such memorandum, my Executor shall be held harmless
for distributing such assets as hereafter provided. I bequeath any such property not disposed
of by such memorandum, or all of such property if no such memorandum is so received or
located, to my husband, David G. Fleming("My Husband"), if My Husband survives me. If My
Husband does not survive me, I bequeath all such property to my children, Lamar David
Law, III, and Lisa L. Dunn (collectively/together, "My Children"), living at my death, to be
divided among them in as nearly equal shares as they agree. In the event of irreconcilable
disagreement among My Children, they shall take alternate turns selecting individual items with
my oldest Child making the first selection. Any items not so selected shall be sold and the
proceeds shall pass as a part of my residuary estate.
§ 1.2 To the extent practicable in the Executor's sole discretion, I bequeath any
policies of insurance on such property to the beneficiary entitled to such property.
§ 1.3 I direct that the expenses of storing, packing, shipping, insuring and delivering
any such property to the beneficiary entitled thereto shall be paid by the Executor as an
administrative expense of my estate.
ARTICLE TWO
RESIDUE
§ 2.1 If My Husband survives me, I devise and bequeath all the rest, residue and
remainder of my estate in equal one-third shares to My Husband and each of My Children, per
stirpes, subject to being held in trust in accordance with the provisions of Article Three hereof.
§ 2.2 If My Husband does not survive me, I devise and bequeath all the rest, residue
and remainder of my estate in equal shares to My Children, per stirpes, subject to being held in
trust in accordance with the provisions of Article Three hereof.

TRUST FOR BENEFICIARY UNDER FIFTY YEARS OF AGE
§ 3.1 Except as otherwise may be provided in this Will, if any beneficiary is entitled to
receive a mandatory distribution of property from my estate or from any trust created by this
Will and is under fifty (50) years of age, I devise and bequeath such property to my Trustee,
herein named, or I direct that such property be held by my Trustee in continued trust, as the
case may be, for the benefit of such beneficiary, in trust, in accordance with the following
provisions of this Article Three:
§ 3.1.1 While any such beneficiary is under twenty-one (21) years of
age, the Trustee shall hold, manage, invest and reinvest the trust property, shall
collect the income thereof and shall apply to or for the benefit of such beneficiary
so much of the net income and, if the net income is insufficient, so much of the
principal of the trust property as the Trustee shall from time to time deem
necessary or proper for such beneficiary's health, maintenance, support and
-2-
complete education, including preparatory, college and graduate education, and
professional, vocational or technical training. The Trustee shall annually
accumulate any net income not so distributed and add the same to the principal
of the trust property.
§ 3.1.2 After such beneficiary attains twenty-one (21) years of age, the
Trustee shall continue to hold, manage, invest and reinvest the trust property,
shall collect the income thereof and shall distribute the net income in quarter-
annual installments, or more frequently if the Trustee deems it advisable, to or
for the benefit of such beneficiary.
§ 3.1.3 In addition to the foregoing, after such beneficiary attains
twenty-one (21) years of age, the Trustee may distribute to or for the benefit of
such beneficiary so much of the principal of the trust property as the Trustee
shall from time to time deem necessary or proper for such beneficiary's health,
maintenance, support and complete education, including preparatory, college
and graduate education, and professional, vocational or technical training, and to
assist such beneficiary with his or her reasonable wedding expenses, in the
purchase of a principal residence and in the establishment of a profession or of a
business considered a good risk by the Trustee, taking into account other
available funds, including such beneficiary's assets.
§ 3.1.4 At any time after such beneficiary attains fifty (50) years of age,
such beneficiary may withdraw any or all of the principal of his or her trust.
§ 3.1.5 If such beneficiary dies before the complete termination of his or
her trust, the Trustee shall distribute the property then held in trust to the
beneficiary's issue then living, per stirpes, or, if none, to the issue then living of
the parent of such beneficiary who was a descendent of mine, per stirpes, or if
none, to my issue then living, per stirpes, and in all circumstances subject to
being held in continued trust in accordance with the provisions of this Article
Three.

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 taxes, penalties or interest. Notwithstanding any provision of this Article Six to the
contrary, the Executor shall not pay any such taxes, penalties or interest attributable to any
property included in my estate solely because of a power of appointment thereover that I
possess but have not exercised or any qualified terminable interest property.
ARTICLE SEVEN
PROVISION FOR DEBTS AND EXPENSES
§ 7.1 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 shall be paid from the
principal of that portion of my estate disposed of by Article Two of this Will.
ARTICLE EIGHT
BUSINESS INTERESTS
§ 8.1 In the event any business interest should be an asset of my estate, whether the
same involves a proprietary interest, a partnership interest, a membership interest or stock in a
-8-
closely held corporation, whether wholly owned, controlled by me or owned in substantial part
by me, I authorize the Executor and Trustee, as the case may be (hereinafter referred to as the
fiduciaries), subject to the terms of any agreement I may have made for the sale of my
interests, to continue said business until such time as the fiduciaries shall deem it advisable to
sell, to liquidate or to distribute the same in kind. With respect to any sale or exchange of the
stock of any such business interest and in the absence of any such agreement entered into by
me prior to my death, I direct the fiduciaries to consider and to determine the appropriateness
of a sale or redemption of such stock in accordance with Section 303 of the Internal Revenue
Code to the business entity and a possible deferral of federal estate tax payments under
Section 6166 of the Internal Revenue Code. It is my desire that to the extent possible any
business interest that I may own at the time of my death be continued or disposed of only in an
orderly manner so as to maximize the proceeds of any disposition. If an election under the
foregoing provisions will effect such desire, the fiduciaries are encouraged to pursue such
election if the fiduciaries deem such election also to be in the best interests of my estate and
the beneficiaries thereof. The fiduciaries shall have all rights and powers in connection with
such business as I had when living, including specifically the power at any time and from time to
time to operate or to join in the operation of the same as a going concern, to form or to reform a
general or limited partnership or limited liability company, to incorporate or to reincorporate and
to liquidate or to sell the same or any part thereof as the fiduciaries deem it advisable for the
best interests of my estate and of the beneficiaries thereof without the necessity of any order of
court and without any liability for loss resulting from the operation of said business except when
such loss is the result of gross negligence or fraud on the part of the fiduciaries.

ARTICLE NINE
MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS
§ 9.1 As used in this Will, the term "Internal Revenue Code" shall mean the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended from time to time, or the corresponding provision of
subsequent law.
§ 9.2 If My Husband 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 if My Husband had survived me. If any person other than My Husband 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 if such person had predeceased me.
§ 9.3 Whenever a discretionary distribution of net income or principal is permitted
pursuant to any trust created by this Will, if such distribution may be made in whole or in part to
a person who is then a trustee of such trust, such person may not participate in any way in the
decision whether to make such distribution. No trustee who is under a legal obligation to
support a beneficiary of a trust created hereunder shall participate in the exercise of any
discretion granted to the trustees of that trust to distribute net income or principal in discharge
of that legal obligation. Furthermore, no trustee shall enter into any reciprocal arrangement
with any other trustee for the purpose of indirectly exercising a power prohibited hereunder.
§ 9.4 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 such 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
-10-
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 or
Uniform Gifts to Minors Act to be held until such beneficiary reaches twenty-five (25) years of
age, 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.
§ 9.5 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.
§ 9.6 An individual fiduciary shall receive compensation in accordance with the law of
Pennsylvania in effect at the time of payment, unless the fiduciary waives compensation. A
corporate fiduciary shall be compensated by agreement with the individual fiduciary, or, in the
absence of such agreement, in accordance with its fee schedule as in effect at the time of
payment. I authorize a corporate fiduciary to charge additional fees for services it provides to
my estate or a trust hereunder that are not comprised within its duties as fiduciary, for example,
-11-
a fee charged by a mutual fund it administers in which my estate or a trust hereunder invests,
or a fee for providing an appraisal, or a fee for providing corporate finance or investment
banking services. I also recognize that a corporate fiduciary may charge separately for some
services comprised within its duties as such fiduciary, for example a separate fee for investing
cash balances or preparing tax returns. Such separate charges shall not be treated as
improper or excessive merely because they are added on to a basic fee in calculating total
compensation for service as fiduciary.
§ 9.7 Notwithstanding any other provision of this Will, but only to the extent that any
trust hereunder is subject to the Rule Against Perpetuities under applicable law, upon the
expiration of twenty-one (21) years after the death of the last survivor of My Husband and issue
living at my death, the trusts created hereunder shall forthwith terminate and the trust property
shall be distributed to the beneficiary then entitled to the income of the trust property or, if there
is more than one beneficiary, to the beneficiaries then entitled to the income of the trust
property in proportion to their respective interests therein or, if such interests are not defined, in
equal shares to such beneficiaries.
