IOUISE A. DIXON a � "' -°n
N
I, LOUISE A. DIXON, of Upper Allen Township, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania,
make this Will, hereby revoking all my former Wills and Codicils.
ARTICLE ONE
TANGIBLE PERSONAL PROPERTY
§ 1.1 I may leave a writing disposing of some or all of my tangible personal property,
signed and dated by me. If I do so, and the writing can be incorporated by reference into this
W ill or otherwise be legally binding, I direct that it be incorporated or followed and prevail over
the residual disposition below. If the writing is not legally binding, I request that my wishes be
foilowed. This provision shall apply whether the writing is executed before or after this W ill.
§ 1.2 I bequeath all my remaining tangible personal property, including by way of
illustration but not by way of limitation, my household furniture and furnishings, paintings,
books, automobiles, jewelry and personal effects, exclusive of any such property used in a
trade or business, to my husband, JOHN D. DIXON ("My Husband"), if he survives me. If My
Husband does not survive me, 1 bequeath such assets to my children (sons, RICHARD R.
DIXON and ROBERT J. DIXON) living at my death to be divided between them in as nearly
equal shares as they agree. In the event of irreconcilable disagreement between my children,
they shall take alternate turns selecting individual items with my oldest child making the first
selection. Any items not so selected shall be sold and the proceeds shall pass as a part of my
residuary estate.
§ 1.3 To the extent practicable in the Executor's sole discretion, I bequeath any
policies of insurance on such property to the beneficiary entitled to such property.
_
§ 1.4 I direct that the expenses of storing, packing, shipping, insuring and delivering
any such property to the beneficiary entitled thereto shall be paid by the Executor as an
administrative expense of my estate.
ARTICLE TWO
MARITAL TRUST
§ 2.1 If My Husband survives me, I devise and bequeath to my Trustee herein named,
an amount equal to the value of my probate estate (determined on the basis of the values
finally determined for federal estate tax purposes), other than property passing under the
foregoing provisions of this Will, reduced by an amount, if any, needed to increase my taxable
estate so that the federal estate tax as finally determined, after taking into consideration my
adjusted taxable gifts, will equal my unified credit, the credit for property previously taxed and
the state death tax credit(to the extent that the use of said credit does not result in an increase
in the state death taxes otherwise payable)avai►able against such tax, assuming that an
election were made to qualify all qualified terminable interest property, other than the trust
provided for under Article Three of this Will, for the federel estate tax marital deduction whether
or not such election is actually made. This trust, to be known as the Marital Trust, may be
composed of cash, of property in kind or partly of cash and partly of property in kind, and shall
be funded only with property which qualifies for the federal estate tax marital deduction in my
estate, valued at the date of distribution, and which, to the extent other property is available,
shall not include property for which a foreign death tax credit is available. The Marital Trust
shall be administered and distributed in accordance with the following provisions of this
ARicle Two:
§ 2.1.1 The Trustee shall hold, manage, invest and reinvest the trust
property, shall collect the income thereof and shall distribute the net income in
- 2 -

quarter-annual instaliments, or more frequently if the Trustee deems it advisable, to or
for the benefit of My Husband.
§ 2.1.2 The Trustee may also distribute to or for the benefit of My Husband

and support, taking into account other available funds, including his individual assets.
§ 2.1.3 Upon the death of My Husband, (a)the Trustee shall pay any accrued
or undistributed net income to My Husband's personal representative and shall also pay
to My Husband's personal representative or directly to the taxing authority from the
principal of the trust property the additional amount of estate taxes, inheritance taxes,
transfer taxes and other taxes of a similar nature, and all interest and penalties with
respect to any such taxes, attributable to the inclusion of the value of this trust in My
Husband's estate for such tax purposes; and (b)the Trustee shali then distribute the
balance of the trust property in accordance with the provisions of Article Four hereof.
ARTICLE THREE
RESIDUARY UNIFIED CREDIT TRUST
§ 3.1 If My Husband survives me, I devise and bequeath to my Trustee, herein named,
all of the rest, residue and remainder of my estate, to be held for the benefit of My Husband in
trust, in accordance with the following provisions of this Article Three:
§ 3.1.1 The Trustee shall hold, manage, invest and reinvest the trust
propeRy, shall collect the income thereof and, during the life of My Husband, the Trustee
shall distribute the net income in quarter-annual installments, or more frequently if the
Trustee deems it advisable, to or for the benefit of the group consisting of My Husband
and my issue, in such proportions as the Trustee (subject to Section 10.3 below) in its
sole discretion shall determine.

made by My Husband during my lifetime treated as having been made half by me;
§ 7.2.10 To allocate, in the Executor's sole and absolute discretion, any
portion of my exemption under Section 2631(a) of the Intemal Revenue Code ("My GST

(2) or more separate trusts, if necessary, to segregate the portion or portions of the trust
or trusts created hereunder over which My GST Exemption or My Husband's GST
Exemption has been allocated (the "GST Exempt Trusts")from the portion or portions of
the trust or trusts created hereunder over which neither My GST Exemption nor My

estate or generation skipping trensfer tax consequence;
§ 7.2.13 Following the death of My Husband, to terminate any trust created
herein, the principal of which is or becomes too small in the Trustee's discretion to make
the establishment or continuance of the trust advisable, and to make immediate
distribution of the then remaining trust property to the beneficiary then entitled to the
income of the trust property or, if there is more than one beneficiary, to the beneficiaries
then entitled to the income of the trust property, in proportion to their respective interests
therein or, if such interests are not defined, in equal shares to such beneficiaries. The
receipts and releases of the distributees will terminate absolutely the right of all persons
- 8 -

without notice to them and without the necessity of filing an account in any court; and
§ 7.2.14 To file the appropriate election in accordance with Section
2056(b)(7xB)(v)of the Internal Revenue Code to designate whatever portion of the trust

Executor is directed to consider the present and projected financial requirements of My
Husband, the expected period of survivorship of My Husband and the assets that have
passed to My Husband other than under the provisions of this Will. If the Executor does

conclusively presumed and this Will shall be construed as if such person had predeceased me.

§ 10.3 Whenever a discretionary distribution of net income or principal is permitted
pursuant to any trust created by this Will, if such distribution may be made in whole or in part to
a person who is then a Trustee of such trust, such person may not participate in any way in the

support a beneficiary of a trust created hereunder shall participate in the exercise of any
discretion granted to the Trustee of that trust to distribute net income or principal in discharge of
that legal obligation. Furthermore, no Trustee shall enter into any reciprocal arrangement with
any other trustee for the purpose of indirectiy exercising a power prohibited hereunder.
§ 10.4 Whenever a fiduciary is directed to distribute property to or for the benefit of any
beneficiary who is under(a)twenty-five (25)years of age, or(b) a legal disability or otherwise
