FRANKLIN G.{MECK :- ' ~}~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~~ I, FRANKLIN G. MECK, of the City of Mechanicsburg, County of Cumberland,`and Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, declare this to be m~,~ Last Will, and revoke any Will previously made by me. 1. Debts and expenses I direct that all my debts which are not barred, funeral expenses and deductible pledges be fully paid as soon as conveniently maybe after my decrease. 2. Tangible Personal Property I give all my tangible personal property to my ;wife, LOIS G. MECK. Should my wife fail to survive me, then I give the same to such of my children who maybe living at the time of my death to be divided among them as they may agree ~~r in the absence of such agreement, to be divided among them by my Executors in shares as yearly equal in value as feasible with full power in my Executors to sell all or any portion of the same to facilitate such division and distribution. Any such sale proceeds not required to~ accomplish equalization shall be added to and pass as part of my residuary estate. 3. Marital Gift I give to my wife, LOIS G. MECK, if she sur<<ives me, an amount equal to the maximum marital deduction allowable in my estate for Federal Estate Tax purposes, reduced by (i) the value, for the purposes of that Tax, of any property interest which passes or has passed to my wife otherwise than under this Paragraph 3 to the ex~a~ent such interest is includable in my gross estate for Federal Estate Tax purposes and also qua'ifies for the marital deduction and further reduced by (ii) such additional amount, if any, which can pass free of Federal Estate Tax in my estate by making optimum use of any unused credit ~~vailable to offset such tax so long as such use does not thereby increase state death taxes. Unus:~d applicable credit amount shall consist of the portion thereof not required to offset Federal Estate or Gift Tax on other transfers by me not qualifying for a marital or charitable deduction and toy offset Federal Estate Tax on amount of my gross estate applied in payment of death taxes, dents and administration expenses either not deducted or not deductible in computing such tax. 4. Residuary Trust All the residue of my estate, plus any life iinsurance, annuity and retirement benefits payable to the Trustee under my Will, I give to and c~lirect that the same be held by the Trustee hereinafter named or her successors, IN TRUST NE~TERTHELESS, for the following uses and purposes: I PT 1 122577v 1 06/03/04 i 4.1. Distribution of Income and Principal The Trustee may pay to my wife, LUIS G. MECK, or use and expend for her benefit all or such portion of the net ~ income of the Trust as the Trustee, in her absolute discretion, deems advisable..Any income not paid or applied as aforesaid shall not be added to principal, but >;hall be accumulated and held as income, unless and until distributed. In addition, the Trustee may pay to m~~ wife, LOIS G. MECK, or use and expend for her benefit all or such amount of tYie principal of the trust estate as the Trustee in her absolute discretion, deems adv,~sable to provide for the health, education, maintenance, and support of my wife, LOIS G. MECK. In the exercise of the foregoing, the Trustee may take int~~ consideration, to the extent she deems proper, any independent means available to my wife, LOIS G. MECK and shall not be required to take into account the existence of or the exercise or non- exercise of any right of withdrawal gra,~ted to my wife, LOIS G. MECK. If a Trustee other than my wife, LOTS G. MECK, is serving as Trustee of the Trust, then that Trustee may pay such ~~dditional amounts of principal, to my wife, LOIS G. MECK, as the Trustee in its absolute discretion deems advisable taking into consideration, to the extent the Trustee deems proper, the respective income tax rates of the Trust and my wife, LO1S G. MECK, the potential to thus minimize income taxes, and the desirability or~ undesirability of making such additional distributions to my wife, LOIS G. MECK. 4.2. Withdrawal of Principal The Trustee shall also distribute to my wife, LOIS G. MECK, all or such amounts of the principal of the trust estate as any wife, LOIS G. MECK, in her absolute discretion, shall from time to time direct in writing delivered during her lifetime to the Trustee. In no event, however, shall the aggregate sum of such withdrawals by her for any one calendar year excee~3 the greater of the sum of $5,000, or if my wife, LOIS G. MECK, is living on the' last day of December of such year, 5% of the market value of the principal on ghat day. This annual right of withdrawal shall not be cumulative. ' 4.3. Early Trust Termination At any time during the life of my v~Tife, LOIS G. MECK, the Trustee in her absolute discretion, may terminate the trust estate created hereunder, in whole or in part, with distribution of the principal to be made to my wife, LOIS G. MECK, to the extent of such termination. This trust was created to provide an opportunity to shelter all or a part of the in m wife's estate. Without in an wa principal thereof from Federal Estate Tq~x y Y Y limiting the generality of the foregoin~~ power of termination, it is my precatory but not mandatory suggestion that the Trustee consider exercising the foregoing 2 PT 1 122577v 1 06/03/04 # i r power if and to the extent she deems it unlikely the trust will be required for such purpose. , 4.4. Trust Termination Upon the death of my wife, LOIS G. i/IECK, or upon my death should she fail to survive me, the trust herein created shall terminate, and the Trustee shall distribute the remaining principal of the trust, if any, to my then living issue, per stirpes and not per capita. In the absence of any such living issue,, the principal shall be distributed to such person or persons who would have been entitled to receive the same as my heirs at law and those of my wife, LOIS G. M~~CK, under the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania as though each of us ,had died at that time the owner of one-half thereof, unmarried, intestate and domiciled in that Commonwealth. Distribution hereunder, however, shall' be subject to the provisions of Paragraph 5 if any distributee has not then attained 30 years of age. 5. Young Beneficiary Trust If any beneficiary has not then attained 30 years of age at a time he or she is entitled to receive a share of my estate or income or principal of a trust created hereunder, the same shall be set aside and retained in a separate trust for his or hey' benefit by the Trustees hereinafter named. The Trustees may pay to that beneficiary or use ani expend for his or her benefit all or such portion of the received and earned income as well as -the principal of this trust estate as the Trustees, in their absolute discretion, deem advisable to provide for the health, education, maintenance, and support of that beneficiary, taking into account to the extent the Trustees deem proper, any independent means available to the beneficiary of which the Trustees have knowledge. Any income not paid or applied as aforesaid shall be added to principal. At any time after the beneficiary has attained ~5 years of age, the Trustees shall distribute to that beneficiary such portion or portions of the principal of his or her trust as that beneficiary shall from time to time direct in writing. In no event,, however, shall the aggregate sum of such withdrawals prior to that beneficiary's having attained 30 years of age, valued at the date of the withdrawal, exceed one-half of the value of the prin~;ipal of that beneficiary's trust estate at its mceptlon. Any principal of a trust for a beneficiary hereunder who dies before age 30 shall be distributed to such person or persons who would ha~re been entitled to receive the same as the heirs at law of the beneficiary under the laws of the commonwealth of Pennsylvania as though he or she had died at that time the owner thereof, unmarried, intestate, and domiciled in that Commonwealth excluding, however, any person wha~ is not related to me or my wife, LOIS G. MECK. Distribution hereunder shall also be sul~~ect, however, to the provisions of this Paragraph 5 if at that time, any such distributee has ~ZOt then attained 30 years of age. If more i 3 PT 1 122577v 1 06/03/04 .} t ___ than one trust is held hereunder for the same bene~ticiary, the Trustees may, in their absolute discretion, combine them into a single trust. a Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Trustees shall accelerate from age 30 to an earlier age the termination of a trust for any particular beneficiary hereunder if that acceleration is necessary to effect compliance with the rule against perpetuities, as measured by the lives of all beneficiaries named or described in this instrument and by actual rather than possible events. The Trustees may also thus accelerate such termination where, in the absolute discretion of the Trustees, the size of the trust is deemed too small to warrant continued retention in trust. In either case such distribution may be made to that beneficiary or to a Custodian appointed for his or her benefit as hereinafter provided. 6. Technical Provisions The following technical provisions shall prevail in the administration of my estate and trusts hereunder where applicable: 6.1. Marital Deduction Funding There shall not be allocated to any gift hereunder or any portion thereof otherwise intended to qualify for the marital deduction property not includable in my gross estate for Federal Estate Tax purposes or any property or the proceeds therefrom, which does not meet marital deduction requirements. Property that may be subject to a foreign death tax shall not be allocated to any such gift unless absolutely required to fully fund the same. If any such gift is a pecuniary amount, the property used to satisfy such a pecuniary gift shall be valued on or near the date of funding. 6.2. Exculpatory Provisions I recognize that there are or may be several options under income and death tax laws, the exercise of which can materially impact, and in some instances entirely eliminate, gifts or trust interests created or referred to hereunder and that these may be similarly affected by the timing of distributions and the intervening appreciation or depreciation of asset values. The Executrix and Trustee shall have absolute discretion to elect such options and select the time for distribution in such manner as they may perceive to be in the overall best interests of the persons having a beneficial interest in my estate and the trusts created hereunder, even though such decisions may have differing impacts on one or more of the beneficiaries, and without reimbursement or compensatory adjustments. The Executrix and Trustee shall not be required to favor recipients under this Will over those receiving gifts outside the Will, and they shall not be liable for any loss which occurs by reason of such election or timing of distributions. 4 PT 1 122577v1 06/03/04 6.3. Single or Severed Trusts The Trustee may, in her absolute discretion, continue any trust created hereunder as a single trust with appropriate identification of the respective portions having different tax or distributive characteristics or sever the same into as many separate trusts as she deems proper for the purpose of facilitating or implementing allocation of my generation-skipping tax exemption, qualification of the trusts to hold S corporation stock, or any other tax or distributive consideration the Trustee deems proper so long as the alternative selected and the manner of implementation thereof is not likely to result in the loss or denial of any tax exemption or other tax or distributive objective sought. If such severance involves a pecuniary amount rather than fractional shares, the pecuniary amount shall be entitled to a pro-rata share of the income earned to date by the estate or trust from which it is severed, and distributions in kind in satisfaction of such pecuniary amount shall be at current market value at time of distribution. 6.4. Beneficially Interested Fiduciary Irrespective of any contrary provision herein or any discretion granted by law, no Trustee acting hereunder shall have or enjoy any power or authority in that capacity, if the existence, exercise, lapse or disclaimer of such power or authority may be deemed to be or cause. the trust or any part thereof to be a taxable transfer by the Trustee for Federal Estate Tax, Gift Tax, or Generation-Skipping Tax purposes. In any such case, the power and discretion shall be vested exclusively in the other Trustee or Trustees, if any, then acting hereunder not also thus similarly disqualified. If all of the current Trustees are thus disqualified, that specific power and discretion shall be vested exclusively in the next succeeding Trustee or Trustees hereinafter designated or provided for not also disqualified. In the absence thereof, such specific power and discretion shall be vested exclusively in any Special Trustee appointed by me or the court for that specific limited purpose. 6.5. Stock Dividends In any trust hereunder, corporate distributions in shares of the distributing corporation, however described or designated by that corporation, shall be deemed principal. 6.6. Spendthrift Clause The interests of the beneficiaries in principal and income of my estate and any trust created herein shall be free from anticipation, assignment, pledge, or obligations of those beneficiaries and shall not be subject to any execution or attachment until actually distributed. This shall not preclude (i) a personal exercise by a beneficiary of a right of withdrawal granted hereunder, if any, (ii) a disclaimer by a beneficiary, in whole or in part, of any interest in income or principal hereunder, or (iii) a setoff against such interest of any indebtedness of the beneficiary to me, my estate or any trust described herein. 5 PT1 122577v1 06/03/04 6.7. Post-Death Income Unless otherwise provided, 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. 6.8. Allocation of Capital Gains Funds distributed in a discretionary application of principal or in response to an exercise of a right of withdrawal hereunder, if any, shall neither be deemed to nor actually include capital gains realized during the current tax year, except to the extent in the exercise of absolute discretion, the Executrix or Trustee expressly elect to allocate all or a part of such gains thereto. 6.9. Adopted and Related Persons References in my Will to children, grandchildren, issue, descendants, heirs, or persons related to others shall be deemed to include, in addition to blood relatives, persons who fall into that relationship solely by reason of adoption, so long as the adoption occurred during the minority of the adoptee. 6.10. Per Stirpes Gifts In any gift hereunder to the issue of any individual, per stirpes, the starting point in allotting shares shall always be the children of such individual, even though all of such children are then deceased, and no distribution at any lower generational level shall be determined on a per capita basis. 6.11. Trust Combination The Trustee may, in her absolute discretion, combine any trust created hereunder with any trust containing substantially similar provisions, notwithstanding the fact that the trusts may have been created by separate instruments or by different persons. If necessary to protect possibly different future interests or to facilitate later division of the trust, the assets shall be valued at the time of any such combination and a record made of the proportionate interest of each separate trust in the combined fund. 6.12. Retirement Accounts If my estate or a trust hereunder is a beneficiary of a retirement plan or retirement account (each of which is referred to herein as a "Retirement Account"), the Executrix or Trustee may elect installment distributions therefrom in lieu of a lump sum settlement, so long as those distributions are at least the minimum amount, if any, required to be distributed from the Retirement Account under applicable provisions of the Internal Revenue Code and the power and discretion to accelerate distribution from time to time is retained by the Executrix or Trustee. 6 PT 1 122577v 1 Obi03l04 7. Fiduciary Powers In the administration of my estate and any trust created under my Will, the Executrix and the Trustee shall have, in addition to and not in limitation of any authority given by law, and without necessity of obtaining the consent of any court, full and complete power and discretion as follows: to accept, retain, and hold in the estate or trusts any of my investments or property without duty to diversify; to invest and reinvest the assets of the estate or trusts in any kind of property, real or personal, or part interest therein, without being restricted to investments which are legal for trust funds; to sell, pledge, exchange, lease for any period of time, or mortgage any real or personal property, and to grant options for the sale, exchange, or lease of the same; to borrow money from themselves or others and pledge or encumber any property of the estate or trusts as security therefor, without liability on the part of the lender to see to the application of such funds; to compromise claims in favor of or against the estate or trusts; to exercise options to subscribe to or purchase securities; to join in, consent to, or oppose any voting trust and any plan of lease, mortgage, merger, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization, liquidation, foreclosure, or other readjustment of the financial structure of any firm or corporation in which the estate or trusts may have an interest; to deposit securities in a clearing corporation or carry the same in the name of a nominee or in book entry form; to maintain, repair, alter, improve, partition, subdivide, dedicate, and otherwise manage or deal with real estate; to decline to accept, disclaim, release, renounce, or abandon any interest in property and any power; to nominate themselves or another as Custodian under a Uniform Gifts or Transfers to Minors' Act and make transfers of a beneficiary's interest in all or part of the estate or trust to such Custodian to be held for the benefit of such beneficiary and select an age from 21 to 25 as to how long such custodianship shall last; to purchase from my estate and that of my spouse any assets thereof and to make loans to those estates to provide liquidity; to allot different kinds of interests in property to different beneficiaries of my estate or different trusts created hereunder; to retain investment advisors, professional advisors, custodians, and agents and to delegate to them any power or discretion vested in the Executrix and the Trustee; and to distribute the estate or trusts either in cash or in kind. 8. Payment of Death Taxes I direct that all estate, inheritance, and succession taxes, together with any interest and penalty thereon, on or against any item which may be included as part of my estate for tax purposes, whether passing under this my Last Will or otherwise, or assessed against any legatee, devisee, beneficiary, or recipient of the same, shall be paid out of the principal of my general estate in the same manner as an administration expense or out of the principal of any trust succeeding in interest thereto. I direct that none of such taxes shall be prorated or apportioned and that, except for such taxes imposed on qualified terminable interest property, there shall be no obligation upon any person to reimburse my Executrix or my residuary estate therefor. My Executrix or Trustee to whom my residuary estate has been distributed may elect to prepay or defer payment of all or any part of said death taxes and that election shall be binding on all parties concerned. 7 PT1 122577v1 06/03/04 _~ 9. Appointment of Trustees I appoint my wife, LOIS G. MECK, Trustee of the Trust in paragraph 4. In the event my wife, LOIS G.
