22. Gift Making Powers. To make unlimited gifts, asset forth below, either outright or in trust,
revocable or irrevocable, or, in the case of minors, in accordance with the Uniform Gifts to Minors
Act and, for gifts made in trust, to persons, including my Agent, as original or successor trustees.
This power includes the right to make additions to an existing trust and does not require my Agent to
treat the donees equally or proportionately and may entirely exclude one or more permissible donees.
The pattern followed on the occasion of any such gift (or gifts) need not be followed on the occasion
of any other gift (or gifts). The gifts shall be restricted to the following: any trust(s) for my
benefit, specifically including, but not limited to, the Special Needs Trust for the Benefit of
Shirley Suro, and any amendments to the trust made hereafter; and any organization
described in IRC Section 501(c)(3). My Agent and the donee of the gift shall be responsible as
equity and justice may require to the extent that a gift made by my Agent is inconsistent with my
directions and planning of my probable intent with respect to the disposition of my estate. The
ability of my Agent to make gifts of my property shall be limited by and shall only be made in
conformity with my prenuptial agreement, if any such agreement exists. I do not restrict or limit the
amount of money or assets to be transferred and gifted, and direct the funds available for such gifts
or transfers include principal and income.
I specifically direct my Agent to make gifts to any and all persons listed in the above
paragraph who he/she deems appropriate, and further direct my Agent to make transfers including
gifts in order to accelerate or preserve my eligibility for public and private benefits, including
Medical Assistance and Supplemental Security Income, so to allow me and/or my spouse or any
family member to receive state, local, and federal benefits at the early possible time/date. It is my
intention and my direction that my Agent be hereby empowered to make gifts to anyone and to
transfer assets to anyone to obtain such benefits. Further, I consider transfers and gifting in order to
obtain such benefits to be in accordance with my estate planning, and I direct such action to be taken
-4-
to obtain said benefits for me. Any and all transfers and gifts are nQ inconsistent with my estate
planning and in fact reflect my intention and direction with respect to the disposition of my estate.
23. Create a Trust. To execute a deed of trust, designating one or more persons (including my
Agent) as original or successor trustee(s) and to transfer to the trust any or all property owned by me
as my Agents may decide. The income and principal of the trust may, but need not, be distributed to
me or to the guardian of my estate, or be applied for my benefit, and upon my death, any remaining
principal or unexpended income of the trust may, but need not, be distributed to my estate.
Furthermore, this trust ar deed of trust may be amenable or revocable at any time by me or my
Agents, or the trust or deed of trust may be irrevocable by me or my Agent. The establishment and
funding of a Trust, either revocable or irrevocable, is not inconsistent with my estate planning, and in
fact reflects my intention and direction with respect to the disposition of my estate.
24. Fund the Trust. To add at any time, any or all of the property owned by me to trust in
existence for my benefit when this power was created. The income and the principal of the trust
may, but need pat, be distributable to me or to the guardian of my estate or be applied for my benefit
during my lifetime and upon my death any remaining principal and unexpended income of the trust,
may, but need not, be distributed to my estate. The establishment and funding of a Trust, either
revocable or irrevocable, is not inconsistent with my estate planning, and in fact reflects my intention
and direction with respect to the disposition of my estate.
25. Guardianship. If incapacity proceedings are hereafter commenced, I nominate my Agent
designated herein to act as guardian over my estate and/or person.
2b. Substitution. I empower my Agent to make, constitute and appoint one or more persons as
substitute or substitutes in the place and stead of my said Agent and to revoke the same at pleasure,
giving and granting unto such substitute ar substitutes full power and authority to act hereunder in
the place and stead of my said Agent, but in my name and on my behalf.
27. General. To do, in addition, all other acts or things whatsoever, and to exercise all other
powers on my behalf, whether or not referred to herein, as fully as though herein specifically
expressed, which in the sole discretion of my Agent may be deemed advisable to be done for me and
in my name, as fully and completely as I might or could do personally, giving and granting to my
Agent for that purpose full and complete power and authority to have, use and take all lawful means
in my name for the purposes aforesaid. The enumeration of the specific powers conferred herein
shall not be deemed to exclude herein any other power, it being my purpose and intent to give my
Agent power to do any and all things on my behalf as fully as I could do myself. The descriptive
headings of this general power of attorney are inserted for convenience only and shall not be deemed
to affect the meaning or construction of any of the provision hereof or to limit in any way the
construction thereof in the broadest possible manner.
-5-
28. Conflicts oflnterest and Waiver a(ConTdentiality. I recognize that the Agent I have named
may be in a conflict of interest position either because of a business, professional, or other
relationship my Agent has with me. I waive any right I may have to object to my Agent acting,
notwithstanding the conflict, because I believe my Agent will act in accordance with my desires. I
recognize that the lawyer who represented me with regard to the execution of this Power ofAttomey
and possible other matters may be requested to represent my Agent as Fiduciary in acting pursuant to
this Power of Attorney. I acknowledged that the said lawyer, being familiar with me and. my
circumstances, may be an appropriate professional to represent my Agent in following the directions
set forth in this document. In light of this possibility, I hereby authorize my Agent to retain the
services of the lawyer who represented me in the execution of this Power of Attorney and I waive
any conflicts of interest that may exist for the lawyer in regard to the said representation of my
Agent. In addition, I authorize the lawyer to reveal such confidential information as may be
appropriate to assist my Agent in the performance of my Agent's duties under this document.
29. Consent to Disclosure. My Agent, by accepting appointment as such, consents to the
disclosure by any lawyer who is engaged to assist my Agent in matters relating to this Power of
Attorney, to me and members of my family or to the court, of any act or omission that might
constitute in the opinion of the lawyer a breach of Fiduciary duties by my Agent. This consent to
disclosure includes information obtained through disclosures made to the lawyer by my Agent.
30. Liabil' .Any person who is given instructions by my Agent in accordance with the terms of
the Power of Attorney shall comply with the instructions. Any person who without reasonable cause
fails to comply with these instructions shall be subject to civil liability for any damages resulting
from non-compliance. Reasonable cause under this subsection shall include, but shall not be limited
to, a good faith report having been made by the third party to the local protective services agency
regarding abuse, neglect, exploitation, or abandonment. However, I consider qualifying for medical
assistance benefits to be prudent planning. Any actions taken to hasten and facilitate my eligibility
for Medical Assistance shall not be challenged by a third party, including the .local protective
services agency. My Agent is authorized to proceed to obtain incidental and consequential damages,
including court costs and attorneys' fees, pursuant to 20 Pa.C.S.A. §5608, for any delay caused by a
third party's refusal to honor this Power of Attorney.
31. Third Party Immunity and Ratircation. Any person who acts in good faith, reliance on my
Power of Attorney shall incur no liability as a result of acting in accordance with the instructions of
my Agent. This power of attorney shall continue in full force and effect and may be accepted and
relied upon by anyone to whom it is presented despite my purported revocation of this power, the age
of this power, the issuance of a court decree declaring my incapacity or my death, until written notice
of such event is received by such person. For the purpose of inducing any bank, trust company,
savings bank, brokerage firm, or any other financial institution, and their respective successors and
assigns, to recognize this instrument, I hereby agree that any such bank, trust company, savings bank,
brokerage firm, or other financial institution shall be held harmless from any loss suffered or liability
-6-
incurred by it or them in acting hereunder until a certificate of death certifying to my death shall
issue and actual notice thereof be received by said bank, trust company, saving bank, brokerage firm,
or other financial institution, and their respective successors and assigns or until actual notice or
revocation or lawful termination according to law shall be received by it or them. I hereby ratify and
confirm all that my Agent or the substitute or substitutes therefore shalt lawfully do or cause to be
done by virtue hereof.
32. Comaensation and Reimbursementfor Expenses. My Agent shall be entitled to reasonable
compensat~o~ n based on the actual responsibilities assumed and performed. My Agent shall also be
entitled to reimbursement for actual expenses advanced on behalf of the Principal and to reasonable
expenses incurred in connection with the performance of my Agent's duty.
33. Effect of My Disability. This power of attorney shall survive and not be affected by my
future mental or physical incapacity, disability or incompetence if such should occur.
34. Severability. Should any of the provisions of this document be for any reason declared
invalid, such invalidity shall not affect any of the other provisions ofthis document and powers, and
all invalid provisions or powers shall be wholly disregarded in interpreting this document.

of Attorney be deemed an original and any person shall be authorized to act upon such a copy as if it
