CANTONS Introductory Clause. I, LOUIS B. CANTONS, a resident of and domiciled in the Township of East Pennsboro, County of Cumberland and Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, do hereby make, publish and declare this to be my Last Will and Testament, hereby revoking all Wills and Codicils at any time heretofore made by me. I am married to ANN D. CANTONS. I have four living children: LOIS ANN GRIFFITHS; SADIE C. POUNDER; NICHOLAS T. CANTONS; and THOMAS L. CANTONS. ITEM 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. If at the time of my death any of the real property herein devised is subject to any mortgage, I direct that the devisee taking such mortgaged property shall take it subject to such mortgage and that the devisee shall not be entitled to have the obligation secured thereby paid out of my general estate. ITEM II Direction to Pay All 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 ~.'i11(~a~hich term wrlerever used herein shall include any Codicil hereto), or on any insurance upon my life or on any property held j ointly 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 charged 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. ITEM III General Bequest of Personal and Household Effects With a Precatory Memorandum. I give and bequeath all my personal and household effects of every kind including but not limited to furniture, appliances, furnishings, pictures, silverware, china, glass, Last Will and Testament of LOUIS B. CANTONS Page 1 books, jewelry, wearing apparel, boats, automobiles, and other vehicles, and all policies of fire, burglary, property damage, and other insurance on or in connection with the use of this property, to my wife, ANN D. CANTONS, if she shall survive me. If my wife shall not survive me, I give and bequeath all this property to my children surviving me, in approximately equal shares; provided, however, the issue of a deceased child surviving me shall take per stirpes the share their parent would have taken had he or she survived me. If my issue do not agree to the division of the property among themselves, my Executor shall make such division among them, the decision of my Executor to be in all respects binding upon my issue. I request that my wife, my Executor and my issue abide by any memorandum by me directing the disposition of this property or any part thereof. This request is precatory and not mandatory. If any beneficiary hereunder is a minor, my Executor may distribute such minor's share to such minor or for such minor's use to any person with whom such minor is residing or who has the care or control of such minor without further responsibility and the receipt of the person to whom it is distributed shall be a complete discharge of my Executor. The cost of packing and shipping such property shall be charged against my estate as an expense of administration. ITEM IV Outright Gift of All Property to Wife, Contingent Gift to Issue. I give, devise and bequeath all the rest, residue and remainder of my property of every kind and description (including lapsed legacies and devises) wherever situate and whether acquired before or after the execution of this Will, absolutely in fee simple to my wife, ANN D. CANTONS, if she shall survive me. If she shall not survive me, then I give, devise and bequeath all of the property to my surviving children in equal shares, provided, however, the then living issue of a deceased child of mine shall take per stirpes the share their parent would have taken had he or she survived me. ITEM V Naming the Executor, Executor Succession, Executor's Fees and Other Matters. The provisions for naming the Executor, Executor succession, Executor's fees and other matters are set forth below: (i } Naming an Individual Executor. I hereby norrlinate, constitute and appoint as Executor of this my Last Will and Testament ANN D. CANTONS and direct that she shall serve without bond. (2) Naming Individual Successor or Substitute Executor. If my individual Executor should fail to qualify as Executor hereunder, or for any reason should cease to act in such capacity, the successor or substitute Executor who shall also serve without bond shall be SADIE C. POUNDER. If SADIE C. POUNDER should fail to qualify as Executor hereunder, or for any reason should cease to act in such capacity, the successor or substitute Executor who shall also serve without bond shall be NICHOLAS T. CANTONS.. If NICHOLAS T. CANTONS should fail to qualify as Executor hereunder, or for any reason should cease to act in Last Will and Testament of LOU[S B. CANTONS Page 2 such capacity, the successor or substitute Executor who shall also serve without bond shall be LOIS ANN GRIFFITHS. (3) Final Succession If Individual Successor Executor Cannot Act. If my individual successor Executor should fail to qualify as Executor hereunder, or for any reason should cease to act in such capacity, then the successor or substitute Executor who shall also serve without bond shall be THOMAS L. CANTONS. (4) Fee Schedule for Individual Executor. For its services as Executor, the individual Executor shall receive reasonable compensation for the services rendered and reimbursement for reasonable expenses. ITEM VI Definition of Executor. Whenever the word "Executor" 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 Executor named herein and to any successor or substitute Executor acting hereunder, and such successor or substitute Executor shall possess all the rights, powers and duties, authority and responsibility conferred upon the Executor originally named herein. ITEM VII Powers for Executor. By way of illustration and not of limitation and in addition to any inherent, implied or statutory powers granted to Executors generally, my Executor is specifically authorized and empowered with respect to any property, real or personal, at any time held under any provision of this my Will: to allot, allocate between principal and income, assign, borrow, buy, care for, collect, compromise claims, contract with respect to, continue any business of mine, convey, convert, deal with, dispose of, enter into, exchange, hold, improve, incorporate any business of mine, invest, lease, manage, mortgage, grant and exercise options with respect to, take possession of, pledge, receive, release, repair, sell, sue for, to make distributions or divisions in cash or in kind or partly in each without regard to the income tax basis of such asset, and in general, to exercise all the powers in the management of my Estate which any individual could exercise in the management of similar property owned in his or her own right, upon such terms and conditions as to my Executor may seem best, and to execute and deliver any and all instruments and to do all acts which my Executor may deem proper or necessary to carry out the purposes of this my Will, without being limited in any way by the specific grants of power made, and without the necessity of a court order. ITEM VIII Provision for Executor to Act as Trustee for Beneficiary Under Age Twenty-five. If any share or property hereunder becomes distributable to a beneficiary who has not attained the age of Twenty-five (25) years or if any real property shall be devised to a person who has not Last Will and Testament of LOUIS B. CANTONS Page 3 attained the age of Twenty-five (25) years at the date of my death, then such share or property shall immediately vest in the beneficiary, but notwithstanding the provisions herein, my Executor acting as Trustee shall retain possession of the share or property in trust for the beneficiary until the beneficiary attains the age of Twenty-five (25), using so much of the net income and principal of the share or property as my Executor deems necessary to provide for the medical care, education, support and maintenance in reasonable comfort of the beneficiary, taking into consideration to the extent my Executor deems advisable any other income or resources of the beneficiary or his or her parents known to my Executor. 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-five (25), or if he or she shall sooner die, to his or her executors or administrators. Whenever my Executor 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 my Executor in such of the following ways as my Executor deems best: (1) directly to the beneficiary; (2) to the legally appointed guardian of the beneficiary; (3) to some relative or friend for the care, support and education of the beneficiary; (4) by my Executor using such amounts directly for the beneficiary's care, support and education; (5) to a custodian for the beneficiary under the Uniform Gifts or Transfers to Minors Act. My Executor as trustee shall have with respect to each share or property so retained all the powers and discretions conferred upon it as Executor. ITEM IX Discretion Granted to Executor in Reference to Tax Matters. My Executor 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 beneficiaries, 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 Executor believes has had the effect, directly or indirectly, of preferring one beneficiary or group of beneficiaries over others; provided, however, my Executor shall not exercise its discretion in a manner which would cause the loss or reduction of the marital deduction as maybe herein provided. In determining the state or federal estate and income tax liabilities of my estate, my Executor 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 and shall have the discretion to file a joint income tax return with my wife. ITEM X Definition of Children. For purposes of this Will, "children" means the lawful blood descendants in the first degree of the parent designated; and "issue" and "descendants" mean the lawful blood descendants in any degree of the ancestor designated; provided, however, that if a person 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 parents and of anyone who is by blood or adoption an ancestor of the adopting parent or either of the Last Will and Testament of LOUIS B. CANTONE Page 4 adopting parents. The terms "child," "children," "issue," "descendant" and "descendants" or those terms preceded by the terms "living" or "then living" shall include the lawful blood descendant in the first degree of the parent designated even though such descendant is born after the death of such parent. The term "per stirpes" as used herein has the identical meaning as the term "taking by representation" as defined in the Pennsylvania Probate Code. ITEM XI Simultaneous Death Provision Presuming Beneficiary Predeceases Testator. Reverse Presumption as to Wife. If any beneficiary and I should die under such circumstances as would make it doubtful whether the beneficiary or I died first, then it shall be conclusively presumed for the purposes of this Wili that the beneficiary predeceased me; provided, however, that if my wife shall die with me as aforesaid, I direct that she shall be conclusively presumed to have survived me. Testimonium Clause. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand and affixed my seal this ~_ day of July, 2002. ~~~~~~ LOUIS B. CANTONS (SEAL) Attestation Clause.
