AGREEMENT OF TRUST
JEFFREY J. BURDGE and MARY ELIZABETH BURDGE, his wife,
(hereinafter referred to as "Settlors") and DAUPHIN DEPOSIT BANK
AND TRUST COMPANY (hereinafter referred to as "corporate
Trustee") and JEFFREY J. BURDGE and JEREMY J. BURDGE (hereinafter
referred to as the "individual Trustees") (all of which Trustees
are sometimes collectively referred to hereinafter as the
Trustees) hereby agree that the Settlors have transferred to the
Trustees and the Trustees hold i.n trust, cash in the amount of
twenty thousand ($20,000.00) dollars, which shall constitute the
initial principal of the Trust hereunder and which shall be held,
managed and the principal and income distributed by the Trustees
as hereinafter provided.
I. IRREVOCABILITY
This Trust is irrevocable, and neither the Settlors, the
Trustees, nor any other person shall have the right, alone or
with any other person, to alter, amend, revoke, or terminate this
Trust or any of the terms of this Agreement of Trust.
II. ADDITIONAL PROPERTY
The Settlors reserve the right for either of them, or for
any other person, to increase the assets comprising the principal
of this Trust by bequests made by Will or by otherwise delivering
additional assets to the Trustees at any time.
However, the duties and liabilities of the Trustees
hereunder shall, under no circumstances, be substantially
increased with respect to any such additional assets, except with
Trustees' written consent.
III. ADMINISTRATION OF THE TRUST
(a) The corporate Trustee shall have custody of,
invest and manage the assets of the Trust, collect the income
therefrom and make the principal and net income available to the
individual Trustees for the purposes of the Trust, as provided
herein.
(b) The individual Trustees shall treat the entire
principal and net income of the Trust, in the individual
Trustees' absolute and uncontrolled discretion and as hereinafter
set forth, as being for the benefit of Eleanora Angela Burdge,
the Settlors' granddaughter, hereinafter referred to as the
Beneficiary.
(c) The Beneficiary shall have the absolute right,
exercisable in Beneficiary's sole discretion, to withdraw with
respect to each calendar year in which a contribution or transfer
is made to this Trust, an aggregate amount equal to the (lesser
of the) amount of the annual additions to this Trust during such
calendar year (or Ten Thousand Dollars ($10,000) multiplied by
the number of donors making addition(s) to this Trust during such
calendar year), and such right of withdrawal shall be non-
cumulative from year to year.
(d) The Corporate Trustee shall notify the Beneficiary
of any transfer or other contribution to the Trust, and of the
donor(s) thereof, as soon as is practical after the contribution
or transfer has been made, but not later than three months after
the end of the calendar year in which the contribution or
transfer has been made.
(e) All such withdrawals shall be made by written
demand signed by the Beneficiary and delivered to the corporate
Trustee not more than thirty (30) days after the date of the
corporate Trustee's notification to the Beneficiary of any
transfer or other contribution to the Trust. Withdrawals shall
be paid by the corporate Trustee not more than sixty (60) days
after the date of such written demand. For purposes of this
special right of withdrawal, assets transferred to this Trust
shall be deemed to be a contribution or transfer in the calendar
year in which the contribution or transfer occurs, rather than in
the year in which notice is sent to the Beneficiary.
(f) Such right of withdrawal shall constitute a first
charge against the principal of this Trust and during the
continuance of the Trust shall take precedence over all other
distributions and all other beneficial interests hereunder.
3
(g) In creating this power of withdrawal, it is the
intention of the Settlors to create an annual non-cumulative
power of invasion which will qualify any transfer of property
hereto as a transfer of a present interest under Section 2503(b)
of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and which will
not be treated as a release of such a power as that term is
defined in Section 2514(e) of said Code.
(h) Subject to the provisions of this Section, the net
income from the Trust shall be accumulated and added to the
principal of the Trust until the Beneficiary shall attain the age
of twenty-one (21) years; except that any taxes due with respect
to the Trust thereto shall be paid by the corporate Trustee from
the income of the Trust.
(i) Thereafter the individual Trustees shall pay the
net income from the Trust to or for the benefit of the
Beneficiary, but only in such amounts as the individual Trustees,
in their sole discretion, shall determine to be reasonably
necessary for the general comfort and welfare of the Beneficiary
or for improvement of the Beneficiary's station in life. To the
extent that the net income from the Trust is not distributed to
or for the benefit of the Beneficiary, the income shall be
accumulated and added to the principal of the Trust.
(j) Upon the Beneficiary's attaining the age of thirty
(30) years, all of the principal and all of the then accumulated
4
net income of the Trust shall be distributed to the Beneficiary;
(k) In addition to the payments of net income to or
for the benefit of the Beneficiary as aforesaid, the individual
Trustees shall have the authority, in their sole discretion, to
pay to or apply for the benefit of the Beneficiary such sum or
sums from the principal of the Trust as they may deem necessary
or advisable to provide for the general comfort and welfare of
the Beneficiary or to improve her station in life.
IV. DEATH OF BENEFICIARY

thirty (30) years, the principal of the Trust and any accumulated
net income shall be distributed to the Beneficiary's estate.
V. CORPORATE TRUSTEE'S POWERS

enable it to obtain the benefit of any such transaction.

nominees.

corporate Trustee of any money or other property paid or
delivered to it pursuant to the terms of any such instrument.

the administration of the Trust hereunder, all which shall be

L'NDER AGREEMENT DATED AUGLST 6, 1003
THE ELEANOR3~ ANGELA BURDGE TRUST
NOW, on August 6r~, 1993, JEFFREY J. BURDGE and
ELIZABETH BURDGE, his wife (collectively, the "Settlors"), of
Cumberland County, Pennsylvania, by this Agreement and desiring
to establish a Trust for the benefit of the Settlors' grandchild
named below, hereby assign to DAUPHIN DEPOSIT BANK AND TRUST
COMPANY ("Corporate Trustee"), of Cumberland County,
Pennsylvania, and the Settlors' son, JEREMY JOHN BURDGE
("Individual Trustee"), of Franklin County, Ohio, as Co-Trustees
(Individual Trustee and Corporate Trustee are collectively
referred to as "Trustee"), hereinafter referred to in the
singular neuter gender, the property described on Schedule A
attached hereto, to be held, together with such additional
property as may be transferred, devised or bequeathed hereto by
Settlors or any other person, upon the following terms of trust:
FIRST: DISPOSITIVE PROVISIONS
During the lifetime of Beneficiary:
1. Settlors' grandchild, ELEANORA ANGELA BURDGE,
(born: October 1, 1974) (SSN: 269-88-9652), hereinafter referred
to as "Beneficiary," during Beneficiary's lifetime, shall have
the absolute right (anything to the contrary appearing in Item
THIRD hereof notwithstanding), exercisable in Beneficiary's sole
discretion, to withdraw during each calendar year in which an
addition or additions are made to this Trust, an aggregate amount
equal to the lesser of the amount of the annual additions to this
Trust up to the date of such withdrawal or Ten Thousand Dollars
($10,000) multiplied by the number of donors making addition(s)
to this Trust during such calendar year, and such right of
withdrawal shall be non-cumulative from year to year.
2. Trustee shall notify Beneficiary of any transfer
or other contribution to the Trust, and of the donor(s) thereof,
as soon as is practical after the contribution or transfer has
been made, but not later than December 31 of the year in which
the contribution or transfer has been made.
3. All withdrawals shall be made by written demand
signed by Beneficiary (or by the natural parent or legal guardian
of Beneficiary if Beneficiary is under the age of eighteen (18)
years) and delivered to Trustee not more than thirty (30) days
after the date of Trustee's notification to Beneficiary of any
transfer or other contribution to the Trust. Withdrawals shall
be paid by Trustee not more than sixty (60) days after the date
of such written demand. For purposes of this special right of
withdrawal, assets originally transferred to this Trust shall be
deemed to be an addition in the year in which the transfer
occurs.
4. Such rights of withdrawal shall constitute a first
charge against the principal of this Trust and during the
continuance of this Trust shall take precedence over all other
distributions and all other beneficial interests hereunder.
5. In creating this power of withdrawal, it is the
intention of Settlors to create an annual non-cumulative power of
-2-
invasion which will qualify any transfer of property hereto as a
transfer of a present interest under Section 2503(b) of the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and which will not be
treated as a release of such a power as that term is defined in
Section 2514(e) of said Code.
6. Trustee shall pay to or apply for the benefit of
Beneficiary at such times as Trustee determines as much of the
net income and, if income shall be insufficient therefor, as much
of the principal, as Trustee, in its sole discretion both as to
income and principal, shall deem necessary for Beneficiary's
maintenance, support and education (including college and
graduate and professional studies); provided, however, that
before making any such payments of principal to Beneficiary,
Trustee shall take into account other property and income
available to Beneficiary, and in so doing the decision of Trustee
as to the amount of principal so used and the extent to which
other resources are considered shall be conclusive as to all
parties in interest. Any income not expended may be accumulated
and added to principal.
7. In addition to the discretionary distributions of
income and principal provided above, Trustee shall distribute, at
least annually, to Beneficiary (or to his natural parents or
legal guardian) funds sufficient for the payment of any and all
federal and state income taxes of Beneficiary which are
-3-
attributable to Beneficiary as a result of his interest in the
Trust.
8. When Beneficiary attains the age of thirty (30)
years, Trustee shall pay over and distribute to Beneficiary,
absolutely and free of all trusts, such share or the then-
remaining principal, together with any accumulated or
undistributed income of the Trust.
SECOND: DISPOSITIVE PROVISIONS UPON BENEFICIARY'S DEATH
In the event Beneficiary dies before the entire principal of
the Trust has been withdrawn or distributed, such share or the
then-remaining principal, together with any accumulated or
undistributed income, of the Trust (as the case may be) shall be
distributed to or for the benefit of such person or persons or
corporation'~r corporations (including Beneficiary's estate,
Beneficiary's creditors or the creditors of Beneficiary's estate)
in such amounts or proportions and in such lawful interests or
estates, whether absolute or in trust, as Beneficiary may direct
by Beneficiary's Last Will, provided such Last Will contains a
specific reference to this general power of appointment, or in
default of such appointment, or to the extent it is not
effectively exercised, then, to Beneficiary's estate.
THIRD: TERMINATION OF TRUSTS
1. Notwithstanding any other provisions hereof,
Trustee may, in its sole discretion, at any time, terminate any
or all of the trusts created herein if the amount thereof would
-4-
make the continuing of said trust impractical. Upon such
termination, Trustee shall pay the principal and any accumulated
or undistributed income of any such trust share to the person or
persons entitled to receive the income therefrom in the
proportions to which they were then entitled to receive the
income. If no such fixed proportions then exist among
beneficiaries, payment shall be made in equal shares, per
stirpes, among the persons to whom the income may then be paid,
and upon such termination the rights of all other persons who
might otherwise have interests as succeeding life tenants or
remaindermen shall cease.
2. Any and all trusts created herein shall terminate
in any event, and every final distribution or payment of the
principal of the trust estate shall be made, not later than
twenty-one (21) years after the death of the last to die of
Settlors' issue living on the date hereof, in the event that this
Trust shall have not terminated previously in accordance with the
terms hereof. In the event of the termination of this Trust as
provided for in this paragraph, Trustee shall pay over and
deliver the principal, together with any accumulated or
undistributed income, free and discharged of any trust, to the
person or persons then entitled to receive the income thereof in
the proportions to which he, she or they were then entitled to
receive the income.
-5-
FOURTH: MINORITY AND DISABILITY PROVISIONS
Unless otherwise provided for herein, any income or
principal payable to any beneficiary who may be then a minor (for
all purposes of this Trust, a minor shall be deemed to be a
person who has not attained the age of twenty-one (21) years) or,
who may then be, in the opinion of Trustee, mentally or
physically disabled, shall be held in a separate trust by Trustee
during such minority or disability unless the trust share is
sooner terminated as otherwise provided herein; said net income
and/or principal may be accumulated or expended for the
maintenance, support and education (including college and
graduate and professional studies) of such beneficiary, as
Trustee, in its sole discretion, may determine. Trustee, in the
expenditure of income and/or principal for such purposes, may, in
its discretion, apply the same directly without intervention of a
guardian, or pay the same to any person having care or control of
said beneficiary, or with whom the beneficiary resides, without
the duty on the part of Trustee to see to or inquire into the
application of the funds by any person to whom any payment is so
made. The balance of such income and/or principal shall be paid
to said beneficiary when the disability or minority ceases, or to
said beneficiary's estate in the event of death prior thereto.
FIFTH: PROTECTIVE PROVISION
All principal and income shall, until actual distribution to
a beneficiary, be free of the debts, contracts, alienations,
-6-
torts and anticipations of any beneficiary, and the same shall
not be liable to any levy, attachment, execution or sequestration
while in the possession of Trustee.
SIXTH: INSURANCE POLICIES
1. Trustee shall not be under any obligation to pay
premiums on insurance policies held hereunder, if any, and shall
have no responsibility to see that such policies are kept in
force.
2. No life insurance company shall be responsible to
see to the execution or performance of any trust created herein
or to the application of any insurance proceeds paid to any such
trust.
3. Trustee may, without incurring liability,
compromise and settle any question~elating to any insurance
policy upon such terms as it deems wise. Trustee need not
institute litigation to collect the proceeds of any policy unless
it is reasonably indemnified for costs, counsel fees and other
expenses of such litigation.
SEVENTH: POWERS OF TRUSTEE
In addition to the powers hereinbefore provided and those
given by law, Trustee, and any additional or successor Trustee,
without any order of court and in its sole discretion, may
exercise the following powers, which shall be construed broadly:
1. Hold and retain the property now or hereafter
comprising a part of this Trust, for such length of time as in
-7-
its sole discretion it may deem wise, or sell any part thereof,
without liability of any kind by reason of such retention or sale
and invest and reinvest, alter, vary and change investments from
