BLANCHE M. DERICK r yV try
a co O
I, BLANCHE M. DERICK, of Enola, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania, being of
sound and disposing mind, memory, and understanding, do hereby make, publish, and declare
this to be my Last Will and Testament and hereby revoke all other Wills and Codicils, if any,
that I have made.
FIRST: I give and devise all of my personal jewelry to my daughter, SHERRY
LYNN SALLADA, of Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, so long as she shall survive me by thirty (30)
days.
SECOND: I give, devise, and bequeath all the rest, residue, and remainder of my
Estate, of whatever nature and wherever situate, to my beloved husband, GILBERT N.
DERICK, so long as he survives me by thirty (30) days.
THIRD: Should my husband fail to survive me by thirty (30) days or should he
J for any reason fail to take under this, my Last Will and Testament, then I give, devise, and
bequeath all the rest, residue, and remainder of my Estate, of whatever nature and wherever
situate, to my daughter, SHERRY LYNN SALLADA, so long as she shall survive me by
thirty (30) days.
FOURTH: Should my daughter fail to survive me by thirty (30) days, then I give,
devise, and bequeath all the rest, residue, and remainder of my Estate, of whatever nature and
wherever situate, to my grandson, CORY A. SALLADA, of Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, so
long as he shall survive me by thirty (30) days. Should my grandson fail to survive me by
thirty (30) days, but be represented by children then living, these children shall take,per
stirpes, the share to which my grandson would have been entitled if then living.
FIFTH: Should my grandson not have attained the age of twenty-five (25) years
at the time of my death,'I direct that my Estate as given to my grandson in part FOURTH of
this, my Last Will and Testament, be given to my Trustee, hereinafter named, in trust for the
following uses and purposes and upon the following terms:
A. The net income of the Trust shall be paid to and be applied for my
grandson's care, maintenance, education, or support at such times as my Trustee shall
determine in his absolute discretion. Should the income from this Trust be insufficient to
provide adequate maintenance, education, or support, my Trustee, in his sole discretion, may
invade the principal for this purpose.
B. In the administration of the Trust, the Trustee shall have the following
powers, deemed to be supplementary to and not exclusive of, the general powers of trustees
pursuant to law and including all powers necessary to carry the same into effect, all of which
shall be exercised in a fiduciary capacity:
1. To hold any or all of the Trust Estate in the form received.
2. To sell at public or private sale, to mortgage, pledge, or hypothecate
or to exchange or lease (including lease for a period extending beyond the term of this Trust),
any stocks, notes, securities, real estate, minerals, and other trust property, upon such terms,
cash or credit, or both, as he may deem advisable.
3. To invest and reinvest the Trust Estate in investments limited to real
or personal property, minerals, royalties, and leaseholds.
4. To construct, add to, repair, or demolish (in whole or in part) any
improvements upon any Trust property.
5. To participate in any reorganization, consolidation, merger, or
dissolution of any corporation, the stocks, bonds, or other securities of which may be held at
any time as part of the Trust Estate and to receive and continue to hold any property which
may be allocated or distributed to it by reason of participation in any such reorganization,
merger, or dissolution.
6. To make or hold investments or any part of the Trust Estate in
common or undivided interests with other persons, corporations, or trusts.
7. To demand, receive, receipt for, sue for, and collect any and all
rights, money, properties, or claims, to which this Trust may be entitled, and to compromise,
settle, arbitrate, or abandon any claim or demand in favor of or against this Trust.
8. To borrow funds for this Trust in such amounts and for such
purposes as he shall deem for the best interest of this Trust and the beneficiary thereof, and to
purchase property on the credit of this Trust, and, in connection with such borrowing or such
purchase, to execute and deliver promissory notes or other evidences of indebtedness of this
Trust and to mortgage or pledge all or any part of the Trust Estate to secure payment of such
c
indebtedness, and to repay such indebtedness out of the Trust Estate.
9. To employ agents, legal counsel, brokers, and assistants, and to pay
their fees and expenses as he may deem necessary or advisable to carry out the provisions of
this Trust.
10. To vote in person or by proxy any shares of stock which may form
part of this Trust.
11. To lend money to any person or persons upon such terms, but with
adequate interest and security, as he may deem advisable for the best interests of this Trust.
12. To elect, appoint, and remove directors of any corporation, the
stock of which shall constitute Trust property, and to act as a director and officer of any such
corporation.
13. Generally, and without limitation by any specific enumeration
herein, to manage, control, operate, reconvert, invest, reinvest, sell, exchange, lease,
mortgage, pledge, pool, or otherwise_encumber and deal with the property of this Trust, for
and in behalf of this Trust and the beneficiary thereof, to the same extent and with the same
powers that any individual would have in respect to his own property and funds.
14. To act freely under all or any of the powers by this agreement given
to the Trustee in all matters concerning this Trust, after forming his judgment based upon all
the circumstances of any particular situation as to the interest of this Trust and the beneficiary
hereunder, without the necessity of obtaining the consent or permission of any person
interested therein, or the consent or approval of any court, and notwithstanding that he may
also be acting individually, or as trustee of other trusts, or as agent for other persons or
corporations interested in the same matters, or may be interested in connection with the same
matters as stockholder, director, or otherwise, provided, however, that he shall exercise such
powers at all times in a fiduciary capacity primarily in the interest of the beneficiary
hereunder.
15. To invest trust funds in interests in any common trust fund or funds
now or hereafter established and being administered by the Trustee solely for the investment of
trust funds.
C. I specifically direct that my Trustee shall not be required to segregate the
shares held in Trust in some separate accounts prior to the termination of any Trust created
hereunder. Should the Trust, in the sole opinion of my Trustee, be or become too small to
warrant continuing such fund in trust, or should its administration be or become impractical for
any other reason, my Trustee, in his sole discretion, may deposit the trust monies in a savings
account in a savings institution of the Trustee's choosing, payable to the beneficiary at
majority.
D. If the beneficiary of this trust is the beneficiary of any life insurance
policies, any pension plans, or other contracts, the proceeds of such policy, plan, or contract
may be added to such trust at the sole discretion of my Trustee. Should my beneficiary be a
minor at the time of my death, I direct that the proceeds of such policy, plan, or contract shall
be added to such trust and administered in accordance with the terms of the Trust as set forth
herein.
E. This Trust shall terminate, and the Trustee shall pay the accumulated and
undistributed principal and income then remaining in his hands at termination to my grandson
when my grandson has attained the age of twenty-five (25) years. If my grandson dies prior to
f attaining the age of twenty-five (25) years, then the Trust shall terminate upon my grandson's
death and shall be distributed in accordance with Paragraph FOURTH, as if no trust had been
created.
SIXTH: All interests of any beneficiary in the income or principal of this Estate,
while undistributed and in the possession of my Executor and Trustee, even though vested and
distributable, shall not be subject to attachment, execution or sequestration for any debt,
contract, obligation or liability of any beneficiary and, furthermore, shall not be subject to
pledge, assignment, conveyance, or anticipation.
SEVENTH: All inheritance, estate, and succession taxes (including interest and any
penalties thereon) payable by reason of my death shall be paid out of and be charged generally
against the principal of my residuary estate without reimbursement from any person.
EIGHTH: In addition to all rights and powers conferred by law, I authorize and
empower my Executor and Trustee and their successors, in their absolute discretion and
without necessity of obtaining court approval:
A. To retain any of the investments composing the principal of this trust in
the form in which the same shall have been delivered to the Trustee whether or not the same be
in the nature and type legal for the investment of trust funds under the laws of the
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, including the stock of any corporate fiduciary acting
hereunder.
B. To invest in all forms of property (including, but not by way of
limitation, real estate, all types of stocks and bonds, and participations in common trust funds),
without being confined to investments prescribed by statute.
C. To buy investments at a premium or discount.
D. To hold property unregistered or in the name of a nominee.

plan, or any other concerted action of security holders and to delegate discretionary duties with
respect thereto.
H. To lend to, and buy from, my estate.
I. To borrow and to pledge real and personal property as'security therefor.
J. To sell at public or private sale for cash or credit or partly for each, to
exchange, or to lease for any period of time, any real or personal property, and to give options
for sales, exchanges, or leases.
K. To allocate any property received or charge incurred to principal or
income or partly to each, without being obliged to apply the usual rules of trust accounting.
L. To exercise any option permitted by law which they believe to be
advantageous from the viewpoint of overall tax reductions, including, without limitation of the
foregoing, power and authority to claim administration or other expenses either as income tax
deductions or inheritance or estate tax deductions, without regard to whether they were paid
from principal or income and without requiring adjustments between principal and income for
any resulting effect on income or estate taxes, and a deduction of such expenses for income tax
purposes shall be given effect in computing the respective shares of all persons interested in
my estate or the trusts set forth herein, even though the effect is to increase the share of one
beneficiary or class of beneficiaries hereunder at the expense of another; and to make such
adjustments, if any, between beneficiaries with respect thereto as they deem appropriate in
view of the nature of the transaction and the amounts involved.
M. When permitted under the Internal Revenue laws of the United States, or
of any state, to join with my spouse in filing a joint income tax return without requiring my
spouse to indemnify my estate against liability for the tax attributable to my spouse's income,
and to consent to any gifts made by my spouse during my lifetime being treated as having been
made one-half by me for the purpose of federal laws relating to gift tax.
N. To distribute in cash or in kind or partly in each.
The powers granted hereunder shall be exercisable with respect to all real and personal
property, including, but not limited to, income and principal held for minors or disabled
beneficiaries at any time held by the Trustee and shall continue in full force, even after the
termination of any trust hereunder, until the actual distribution of all property. All powers,
authorities and discretion granted here shall be in addition to those granted by law and shall be
exercisable without leave of court. However, nothing herein shall be interpreted or construed
to encourage, authorize, empower, or permit the Trustee or Executor to act or cause anyone to
act in a manner contrary to or inconsistent with accepted standards of portfolio diversification
and risk management.
NINTH: I nominate, constitute, and appoint the following persons:
A. My husband, GILBERT N. DERICK, as Executor of this, my Last Will
and Testament. In the event of the renunciation, death, resignation, or inability of my husband
to act for whatever reason in this capacity, then I nominate, constitute, and appoint my
daughter, SHERRY LYNN SALLADA, as Executrix of this, my Last Will and Testament.
B. My son-in-law, DONALD SALLADA, of Harrisburg, Pennsylvania as
Trustee of the Trust described herein. In the event of the renunciation, death, resignation or
inability of my son-in-law to act for whatever reason in this capacity, then I nominate,
constitute, and appoint my nephew, BARRY DERICK, of Enola, Pennsylvania as Trustee.
I direct that no representative named above shall be required to post security for the
faithful performance of his duties in any jurisdiction insofar as I am able by law to relieve
him of such obligation. Any of my representatives shall be entitled to reasonable compensation
for the performance of the duties set forth here.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand and seal this 12%L day of
2001, on this, the ninth of nine typewritten pages. I have also signed the
left-hand margin of the first eight of these pages for purposes of identification only.
