STRATFORD, having my legal residence at 27 E. Willow Terrace Drive, Mechanicsburg, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania, 17050, do hereby declare this to be my Last Will and Testament, revoking all other Wills and Codicils heretofore made by me. I declare that I am married to WALTRAUD M. STRATFORD and that all references to my wife are to her. I further declare the following two (2) children born to me, DaneRos Stratford and Danielle S. Kopcza, and that all references to my children are to them. ITEM ONE: I direct that all my valid debts and the expenses of my last illness and funeral be paid from my estate as soon as practicable after my death. ITEM TWO: SPECIFIC BEQUEST TO SUPPORT TRUST FOR SPOUSE If my spouse survives me by one hundred seventy (170) days, I give, devise, and bequeath to my Trustee, hereinafter named, for the benefit and support of my spouse, cash, securities, or other property of my estate, including, without limitation, personal property and effects, having a value equal to the amount, if any, that my spouse would be entitled to receive if my spouse exercised my spouse's elective share rights as set forth in section 2201, et seq. of the Pennsylvania Probate, Estates, and Fiduciaries Code (the "PEF Code"); provided that the amount of this bequest shall be reduced to the extent my spouse has waived the right to elect under PEF Code Section 2207 or forfeited the right to elect under PEF Code Section 2208. In determining the amount of this bequest, my spouse shall be deemed to have elected, pursuant to PEF Code Section 2204(c), to retain all beneficial interests in property that my spouse would otherwise be required to disclaim if my spouse exercised my spouse's elective share rights. Contingent upon my spouse surviving me by said one hundred seventy (170) days, it is my intention that, as a result of my death, my spouse shall receive property having a value equal to (but not more than) that which my spouse would receive if my spouse were to exercise my spouse's elective 1 share rights. My Personal Representative shall have the sole and exclusive discretion to select the assets that shall fund this bequest. If my spouse does not survive me by one hundred seventy (170) days, this bequest shall be distributed as part of the residuary estate. This bequest to my spouse shall be distributed, in trust, to my hereinafter-named Trustee to be held, administered, and distributed as follows: A. During the term of the trust, the Trustee shall pay to or apply for my spouse's benefit all of the net income and principal of the trust estate. In addition, upon request of my spouse, the Trustee shall terminate the trust and distribute all of the trust principal and accumulated income of the trust estate to my spouse. In the event that my spouse is incapacitated, the Trustee shall make all of the income and principal of the trust estate available to my spouse to provide for the support, maintenance, and health of my spouse. B. All principal and any accumulated income that remains in the trust estate upon the death of my spouse shall be paid as an addition to the shares of the beneficiaries of my residuary estate in proportion to their interests in my residuary estate. C. The purpose of this trust is to provide for investment and management of that portion of my estate that is distributed to my spouse due to my belief that my spouse may need the Trustee's assistance with said investment and management. ITEM THREE: I give, bequeath and devise all the rest, residue, and remainder of the property that I own at the time of my death, both real and personal, of every kind and description, wherever situated, to which I may be legally or equitably entitled at the time of my death (my "residuary estate"), to BYRON D. SHAFER, Trustee, or his successor in Trust, of the DaneRos Stratford Trust dated ~~~~ g ~ a0-a„ In the event that DaneRos Stratford fails to survive me, this gift shall lapse and I give his share to my friend, BYRON D. SHAFER. The residue shall include any leasehold interests that I may hold at the time of my death. I have made no provisions under this my Will for my daughter, DANIELLE S. KOPCZA, not for any lack of love or affection, but for reasons that are good and sufficient to me. 2 ITEM FOUR: Iappoint, my son, DANEROS STRATFORD, my personal representative of this my Will. In the event DaneRos Stratford is unable or unwilling to act or continue to act as my Personal Representative, Iappoint my friend, BYRON D. SHAFER, my Personal Representative. ITEM FIVE: Iappoint my son, DANEROS STRATFORD, Trustee(s) of the Trust(s) created pursuant to Item Two, above. Notwithstanding the foregoing, under no circumstances shall my wife, Waltraud M. Stratford, serve as a Trustee of any trust created under Item Two, above. ITEM SIX: No bond shall be required of any fiduciary hereunder in any jurisdiction. No fiduciary hereunder shall have any liability for any mistake or error of judgment made in good faith. ITEM SEVEN: I authorize my Personal Representative(s) and Trustee(s) to exercise the following powers in addition to those given by law, to be exercised in their sole discretion: A. To retain any or all of the assets of my estate, without regard to any principle of diversification, risk or productivity; B. To invest in all forms of property without restriction to investments authorized for any type of fiduciary; C. To compromise any claim or controversy; D. To loan money to or buy property from my estate; E. To borrow money from any person, including any Executor or Trustee, and to mortgage or pledge any real or personal property; F. To sell at public or private sale, to exchange or to lease for any period of time, any real or personal property, and to give options for sales, exchanges or leases, all for such prices and upon such terms and conditions as they deem proper; G. To allocate receipts and expenses to principal or income or partly to each as they deem proper; H. To repair, alter or improve any real or personal property; I. To distribute in cash or in kind or partly in each at valuations fixed by them; J. To keep reasonable amounts of cash in a bank uninvested if deemed advisable for the protection of the principal; 3 K. To subscribe for or to exercise options for stocks, bonds or other investments; to join in any plan of lease, mortgage, merger, consolidation, reorganization, foreclosure or voting trust and to deposit securities thereunder, and to generally exercise all the rights of security holders or employees of any corporation; L. To register securities in the name of a nominee or in such manner that title shall pass by delivery; M. To add to the principal of any trust created by this instrument any real or personal properly received from any person by Deed, Will or in any other manner; N. To exercise all power, authority and discretion given by this instrument after the termination of any trust created herein until the same is fully distributed; O. To use their sole discretion in deciding whether stock dividends on stock they hold in trust should be apportioned to principal or income, except stock dividends of regulated investment companies which shall be added to principal; P. To commingle the assets of any trust estate created by this Will in any one or more common funds for greater convenience and flexibility; Q. To employ agents, accountants, engineers and such other persons, professional or otherwise, as may be necessary for the proper administration of this estate or trust and to pay their compensation from such funds; and R. To disclaim all or any interest in a property passing to me or my estate ITEM EIGHT: I realize that Personal Representatives are given discretion by law to make various elections which affect the income and estate taxes payable by estates and beneficiaries, as well as the relative shares of beneficiaries, such as taking administration expenses as deductions for either estate or income tax purposes, selecting options for the payment of employee death benefits, electing to take a qualified terminable interest as part of the marital deduction, selecting alternate valuation dates, postponing the payment of taxes, filing joint income tax or gift tax returns and redeeming corporate stock. The decisions made by my fiduciaries in any of these matters shall be binding upon, and not subject to question by, any affected persons. I rely upon my fiduciaries to take into consideration the total income and estate taxes payable by reason of their decisions including those payable by my 4 survivors, and they are authorized in their discretion, but not required, to make adjustments between income and principal as a result thereof. ITEM NINE: I direct that all estate, inheritance and other taxes in the nature thereof, together with any interest and penalties thereon, becoming payable because of my death with respect to the property constituting my gross estate for death tax purposes, whether or not such property passes under this my Last Will and Testament, shall be paid from the principal of my residuary estate, and no person receiving or having a beneficial interest in any such property, whether under this my Last Will and Testament or otherwise, shall at any time be required to contribute to or refund any part thereof; PROVIDED, however, that this direction shall not apply to the taxes on any property included in my estate solely because of a power of appointment thereover which I possess but have not exercised or on any qualified terminable interest or to any generation- skipping transfer taxes. ITEM TEN: No gift or beneficial interest shall be subject to anticipation, assignment, pledge, obligation, or alienation of my beneficiazy(s), whether voluntary or involuntary, and the income and principal thereof shall not be subject to any execution or attachment. ITEM ELEVEN: If any beneficiary, person or entity in any manner, directly or indirectly, contests or attacks this Will or any of its provisions, or objects to the accounts or actions of my fiduciaries, without probable cause, such beneficiary, person or entity shall pay all costs, including but not limited to attorneys' fees, arising in connection with such contest, attack or objection incurred by my estate, such trust or such fiduciary personally. In the event that such beneficiary, person or entity does not prevail in such action, any share or interest in my estate or such trust which would otherwise pass to such beneficiary, person, entity or remainderman under this Will shall be revoked and the property consisting of such shaze shall be disposed of in the manner provided herein as if that contesting person or entity had predeceased me without surviving issue. ITEM TWELVE: Should any of the provisions of my Will be for any reason declared invalid, such invalidity shall not affect any of the other provisions of this Will and all invalid provisions shall be wholly disregazded in interpreting this Will. 5 ITEM THIRTEEN: This Will shall be construed, regulated and governed by and in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
