Rauch and Mary E. Matthews. ARTICLE I Direction to Pay Debts. I direct that all my legally enforceable debts, secured and unsecured, be paid as soon as practicable after my death. ARTICLE II Direction to Pa~AI] Taxes from Residuary Estate. I direct that all estate, inheritance, succession, death or similar taxes (except generation-skipping transfer taxes) assessed with respect to my estate herein disposed of, or any part thereof, or on any bequest or devise contained in this my Last Will (which term wherever used herein shall include any Codicil hereto), or on any insurance upon my life or on any property held jointly by me with another or on any transfer made by me during my lifetime or on any other property or interests in property included in my estate for such tax purposes be paid out of my residuary estate and shall not be chazged to or against any recipient, beneficiary, transferee or owner of any such property or interests in property included in my estate for such tax purposes.

Any such property not so -1- distributed shall be sold, and the proceeds added to my residuary estate to pass as hereafter described. ARTICLE IV Specific Devise of Residential Property. I give and devise to my daughters, Mary E. Matthews and Susan W.

ARTICLE VI Naming the Personal R~resentative Personal Representative Succession Personal Representative's Fees and Other Matters. The provisions for naming the Personal Representative, Personal Representative succession, Personal Representative's fees and other matters are set forth below: (1) Naming Individuals as Personal Representative. I hereby nominate, constitute and appoint as Personal Representatives of this my Last Wi11 and Testament Susan W. Rauch and Mary E. Matthews and direct that they shall serve without bond. (2) Individual Personal Representatives Succession. If any individual Personal Representative should fail to qualify as Personal Representative hereunder, or for any reason --~-=- -2- should cease to act in such capacity, the remaining individual Personal Representatives shall continue to serve without a successor or substitute. (3) Fee Schedule for Individual Personal Representative. For its services as Personal Representative, the individual Personal Representative shall receive no compensation but shall be entitled to reimbursement for reasonable expenses. ARTICLE VII Definition of Personal Representative. Whenever the word "Personal Representative" or any modifying or substituted pronoun therefor is used in this my Will, such words and respective pronouns shall include both the singular and the plural, the masculine, feminine and neuter gender thereof, and shall apply equally to the Personal Representative named herein and to any successor or substitute Personal Representative acting hereunder, and such successor or substitute Personal Representative shall possess all the rights, powers and duties, authority and responsibility conferred upon the Personal Representative originally named herein. ARTICLE VIII Powers for Personal Representative. I give to any Personal Representative named in this Will or any Codicil hereto or to any successor or substitute Personal Representative all of the powers enumerated in this Will and all of the powers applicable by law to fiduciazies in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and in particular through the Pennsylvania Probate, Estates and Fiduciaries Code, as effective and as in effect on the date of my death, during the administration and until the completion of the distribution of my estate. I direct that all such powers shall be construed in the broadest possible manner and shall be exercisable without court authorization. (1) Power to Acquire and Retain Assets. My Personal Representative is authorized and empowered to acquire and to retain, either permanently or for such period of time as my Personal Representative may determine, any assets, including the capital stock of any closely held corporation, whether such assets are or aze not of the character approved or authorized by law for investment by fiduciaries and whether such assets do or do not represent an overconcentration in one investment. (2) Power to Disclaim Interests. My Personal Representative is authorized and empowered to disclaim any interest, in whole or in part, of which I, or my Personal Representative, maybe the beneficiary, devisee, or legatee, by executing an appropriate instrument (in accordance with section 2518 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or such similar section as may then be in effect). ~. -3- (3) Power to Sell Assets and Borrow Funds. My Personal Representative is authorized and empowered to sell at public or private sale, or exchange, and to encumber or lease, for any period of time, any real or personal property and to give options to buy or lease any such property. Additionally, my Personal Representative is authorized and empowered to compromise claims, to borrow from anyone (including a fiduciary hereunder) and to pledge property as security therefor, to make loans to and to buy property from anyone (including a fiduciary or beneficiary hereunder); provided that any such loans shall be adequately secured and at a fair interest rate. (4) Power to Allocate Receints. My Personal Representative is authorized and empowered to allocate property, chazges on property, receipts and income among and between principal or income, or partly to each, without regazd to any law defining principal and income. ARTICLE IX Provision for Personal Representative to Name a Trustee for Beneficiarv Under Age Twenty-One. If any share or property hereunder becomes distributable to a beneficiary who has not attained the age of Twenty-one (21) years at the date of my death, then such share or property shall immediately vest in the beneficiary, but notwithstanding the provisions herein, my Personal Representative shall select a qualified person (which may include one or more adult individuals, attorneys, accountants, trust company or bank with trust powers) to act as Trustee. The Personal Representative shall designate the person named as Trustee in a writing filing with the court having jurisdiction over the administration of my estate. The Trustee so named shall retain possession of the share or properly in trust for the beneficiary until the beneficiary attains the age of Twenty-one (21), using so much of the net income and principal of the shaze or property as the Trustee deems necessary to provide for the medical care, education, support and maintenance in reasonable comfort of the beneficiary, taking into consideration to the extent the Trustee deems advisable any other income or resources of the beneficiary or his or her pazents known to the Trustee. Any income not so paid or applied shall be accumulated and added to principal. The beneficiary's share or property shall be paid over, distributed and conveyed to the beneficiary upon attaining age Twenty-one (21), or if he or she shall sooner die, to his or her personal representatives. Whenever the Trustee determines it appropriate to pay any money for the benefit of a beneficiary for whom a trust is created hereunder, then the amounts shall be paid out by the Trustee in such of the following ways as the Trustee deems best: (1) directly to the beneficiary; (2) to the legally appointed guardian of the beneficiary; (3) to soma relative or friend for the caze, support and education of the beneficiary; (4) using such amounts directly for the beneficiary's caze, support and education; (5) to a custodian for the beneficiary under the Uniform Gifts or Transfers to Minors Act; or (6) to an account established for the beneficiary in a Qualified State Tuition Program established under Internal Revenue Code Section 529. The ~~ -4- Trustee shall have with respect to each share or property so retained all the powers and discretions conferred upon my Personal Representative under this Will and by law. ARTICLE X Discretion Granted to Personal Representative in Reference to Tax Matters. My Personal Representative as the fiduciary of my estate shall have the discretion, but shall not be required when allocating receipts of my estate between income and principal, to make adjustments in the rights of any benefciazies, or among the principal and income accounts to compensate for the consequences of any tax decision or election, or of any investment or administrative decision, that my Personal Representative believes has had the effect, directly or indirectly, of preferring one beneficiary or group of beneficiaries over others; provided, however, my Personal Representative shall not exercise its discretion in a manner which would cause the loss or reduction of the mazital deduction as may be herein provided. In determining the state or federal estate and income tax liabilities of my estate, my Personal Representative shall have discretion to select the valuation date and to determine whether any or all of the allowable administration expenses in my estate shall be used as state or federal estate tax deductions or as state or federal income tax deductions. ARTICLE XI Definitions of Familv. The following definitions shall be used to define the family: (1) Definition of Children. For purposes of this Will, "children" means the blood descendants in the first degree of the parent designated; and "issue" and "descendants" mean the blood descendants in any degree of the ancestor designated. The terms "child," "children," "issue," "descendant" and "descendants" or those terms preceded by the terms "living" or "then living" shall include the blood descendant in the first degree of the pazent designated even though such descendant is born after the death of such parent. (2) Inclusion of Adopted Children. For purposes of this Will, if a person, who at the time of such legal adoption proceeding is commenced is then under the age of twenty-one (21) yeazs, has been adopted, that person shall be considered a child of such adopting parent and such adopted child and his or her issue shall be considered as issue of the adopting parent or pazents and of anyone who is by blood or adoption an ancestor of the adopting pazent or either of the adopting parents. _~~°~,~ -s- ARTICLE XII Simultaneous Death Provision Presuming_Beneficiary Predeceases Testator.
