RUEGG, of Perry County, Pennsylvania do hereby make, publish and declare this, my last Will and Testament, hereby revoking and making void any and all Wills and Codicils at any time heretofore made by me. FIRST: I direct that my debts, the expenses of my last illness and the expenses of my final services and burial be satisfied and fully paid out of my estate as soon as may be convenient after my decease. SECOND: I leave all funeral arrangements to my Executor hereinafter named. In the event I have not already purchased a burial lot for my family and me, I hereby authorize and empower my Executor to purchase such a lot, to erect a suitable memorial thereon, and to provide for the permanent upkeep of same out of my estate. THIRD: In as much as all items of household furniture and furnishings in our residence and other items of personal property have been transferred to the previously created revocable living trust described below, I make no disposition of the same in this, my Last Will and Testament, but rather certify that all of the same are the property of the just-referenced revocable living trust. FOURTH: I give, devise and bequeath the rest, residue, and remainder of my Estate, of every nature and wherever situate, unto my wife, NORMA E. RUEGG, as Trustee, to be added to and thereafter held in Trust as part of the Trust Estate pursuant to that certain Revocable Trust Agreement dated November 5, 1997, and executed by me and NORMA E. RUEGG prior to the execution of this, my Last Will and Testament, to have and to hold, IN TRUST NEVERTHELESS, for the uses and purposes, and subject to the terms and provisions thereof, including any alterations or amendments thereto, or any other Trust which may hereafter be substituted therefor. FIFTH: I hereby name, constitute and appoint my wife, NORMA E. RUEGG as Executrix of this, My Last Will and Testament. In the event my Wife, shall fail to qualify or cease to continue to qualify as Executrix by reason of death, disability, incapacity or otherwise, I hereby name, constitute and appoint Brenda Roland as Executrix. She is to serve without bond, and I direct that my fiduciaries shall not be required to enter security in any jurisdiction in which they may act. ~.~.z c~ ~ --- ~ c ~ ~ rn 2 © rn ~ ~ ~ _ ? ~ ~ ~ y~.

To retain any or all of the assets of my estate, real or personal, without restriction to investments authorized for Pennsylvania fiduciaries, as my Executor from time to time may deem proper, without regard to any principle of diversification or risk. 2. To invest in all forms of property without restriction to investments authorized for Pennsylvania fiduciaries, as my Executor from time to time may deem proper, without regard to any principle of diversification or risk. 3. 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, for such prices and upon such terms • or conditions as my Executor from time to time may deem proper. 4. To allocate receipts and expenses to principal or income or ' partly to each as my Executor from time to time may deem proper. 5. To borrow money from person or institution including my Executor and to mortgage or pledge any or all real or personal property as my Executor in my Executor's sole discretion shall choose, without regard to the dispositive provisions of this instrument. 6. To compromise any claim or controversy asserted by or against my estate. 7. To make distribution in cash or in kind or partly in cash and partly in kind, and in such manner as my Executor may determine, and at valuations finally to be fixed by my Executor. • 2 of 4 • SEVENTH: I direct my Executor to claim any expenses of administration of my estate as income tax deductions upon any income tax return or returns whenever in said Executor's sole judgment such action will achieve an overall reduction in the total income and death taxes. No compensating adjustments between income and principal shall be made as a result of such action. I also authorize my Executor to join my wife, or her personal representative in the filing of a joint income tax return for any period for which such a return may be permitted, without requiring the estate of my wife, to indemnify my estate against liability for the tax attributable to the income of my wife, and to consent for Federal gift tax purposes, to having gifts made by my wife, during my lifetime treated as having been made half by me. EIGHTH: I direct that all estate, inheritance and other taxes in the nature thereof, together with any interest or penalty thereon, becoming payable by reason of my death, with respect to property forming my gross estate for tax purposes, whether or not passing under this, my Last Will and Testament, shall be considered an expense of administration of my estate, and no legatee or devisee or any person having a beneficial interest in any such property, whether under this my Last Will and Testament, or any Codicil thereto, or otherwise shall at any time be required to refund any part of such taxes; provided, however, that such taxes may be paid from the Trust Estate, in accordance with the provisions set forth for the payment thereof in that certain Revocable Trust Agreement dated November 5, 1997. NINTH: Whenever used in this, my Last Will and Testament, the singular shall include the • plural, the plural the singular, and the use of any gender shall be applicable to all genders. As used herein, the terms "child", "children" and "issue" and similar terms shall include children adopted under the age of twenty-one (21) years, regardless of the date of adoption, with full effect as if they were the natural children of the adopting parents.
