J�Zgister of Wills? Form RW-02 rev.10/11/2011 �'` L3XIPI Page 2 of 2 till anj� �votument OF LARRY W. DIEHL I, LARRY W. DIEHL, of Silver Spring Township, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania, being of sound and disposing mind,memory and understanding,do make,publish and declare this to be my Last Will and Testament, hereby revoking and making void all previous Wills and Codicils heretofore made by me. FIRST I order and direct my personal representative hereinafter named to pay,to the extent possible out of my residuary estate,all of my just debts,funeral expenses and expenses involved or connected with the administration of my estate,including all estate,inheritance or other death taxes(other than generation-skipping taxes)and all interest and penalties thereon imposed,as soon after my death as reasonably possible. However, my personal representative need not accelerate and pay those unmatured obligations which;in his opinion,it might be proper and more advantageous to retain or renew and pay as they become due and payable. If I do not own a burial plot or a grave marker at the time of my death,I authorize my personal representative,in his sole discretion,to purchase a burial plot and to erect a suitable grave marker at my grave, and to expend sums from my estate for this purpose. rn C' , rr- M 'rri M -v -m -n ' : ry r~ M -- r° 0 LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT OF LARRY W.DIEHL SECOND I give, devise and bequeath the rest, residue and remainder of my estate together with all insurance proceeds thereon of whatsoever nature and wheresoever situate in equal shares to my children,DARIN W.DIEHL,LANCE E.DIEHL,and BRANDON J.DIEHL,who survive me by thirty(30)days,per stirpes. It is further my desire that my personal representative,after consultation with any heir or heirs of mine who survive me,and in his own discretion,choose such articles from my tangible personal property(exclusive of cash, stock certificates, bonds, and all other tangible evidences of intangible personal property) as he believes will be useful to such heir or heirs or desirable for him or her or them to have,either from a sentimental point of view or otherwise,and to deliver such articles to such heir or heirs or among such heirs in equal or unequal shares as determined by the further exercise of his discretion,provided no other heir obj ects to the distribution. All tangible personal property not so distributed is to be sold, either publicly or privately, by my personal representative, adding the proceeds of such sale or sales to my residuary estate and to be disposed of in equal shares among my surviving heirs after payment of my estate debts,taking into account the tangible personal property otherwise provided to them. THIRD Any devise or distribution under this Last Will and Testament which is payable to any beneficiary who may be under twenty-five (25) years of age, or, in the judgment of the Trustee, mentally disabled, shall be held in a separate trust by BRANDON J.DIEHL as Trustee until such beneficiary reaches twenty-five(25)years of age or during such period of disability. In the case of a beneficiary under twenty-five (25)years of age, the Trustee may distribute up to one-third(1/3) of Page 2of8 LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT OF LARRY W.DIEHL the then remaining principal and accumulated income on the request of the said beneficiary, at or after attaining eighteen (18) years of age; up to one-half(1/2) of the then remaining principal and accumulated income on the request of the said beneficiary,at or after attaining twenty-one(2 1)years of age; and up to the entire remaining balance of principal and accumulated interest at or after attaining twenty-five (25) years of age. During the term of any trust created pursuant to this Paragraph,the Trustee is authorized to expend and apply so much of the net income and principal of each such trust as the Trustee shall consider advisable for the health, maintenance, support, and education(including college education,undergraduate and graduate)of each such beneficiary until he or she attains twenty-five(25)years of age,or until all such amounts are paid out of trust. I direct that no Trustee shall be required to give or post bond for the faithful performance of the Trustee's duties in this or any other jurisdiction. FOURTH My personal representative and any trustee appointed hereunder shall have the following powers in addition to and not in limitation of such powers as my personal representative and trustee shall hold by law, applicable to all property, real, personal and mixed, and wheresoever situate, including property held for minors,whether principal or income,exercisable without court approval, and effective, with respect to each item of said property, until actual distribution thereof. (a) To retain all property received including the stock of any corporate fiduciary acting hereunder, provided such property remains productive. (b) To join in any corporation, partnership, recapitalization, merger, reorganization or voting trust plan; to delegate authority with respect thereto; to deposit investments Page 3 of 8 LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT OF LARRY W.DIEHL under agreements and pay assessments; and generally to exercise all rights of investors, including but not limited to, the voting of shares. (c) To manage,operate,repair,improve,mortgage or lease on any terms any real estate held or owned by my estate. (d) To operate any business that I may own at my death. (e) To invest any funds of my estate in any stocks, bonds, notes or other securities or property, real or personal, without regard to the principle of diversification or any other statute or general rule of law in his absolute discretion,it being my intention to give my personal representative the broadest investment powers possible,providing such investments do not unnecessarily prevent the prompt settlement of my estate. (f) To sell or otherwise dispose of any property,real or personal,tangible or intangible, at any time forming a part of my estate in any manner and on such terms and conditions as my personal representative shall see fit in his absolute discretion. (g) To borrow money for the payment of taxes or for any other proper purposes in the administration of my estate, and to mortgage or pledge estate assets as security. (h) To compromise claims without court approval including, but not limited to, any controversies with the United States of America or the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania concerning estate and inheritance taxes on any interests that may pass under this my Last Will and Testament. (i) To make distributions in cash or in kind, or partly in each, and; to allot different kinds of property to different shares without regard to differences in the income tax Page 4 of 8 LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT OF LARRY W.DIEHL basis of such property. Any such designation,division,allocation,apportionment or valuation of property shall be binding and conclusive on all parties. (j) In any instance where property would be immediately distributable to a beneficiary of a trust created hereunder when received by Trustee,distribution may be made directly to such beneficiary without funding such trust. The receipt of any such distribution by any such beneficiary shall be a full acquittance of the fiduciary making such distribution as to any amounts so distributed. (k) To undertake any and all acts deemed necessary and proper by my personal representative for the proper, advantageous and prompt management of the settlement of my estate. (1) In general, to exercise all powers in the management of my estate which any individual could exercise in the management of similar property owned in his own right, upon such terms and conditions as to him may seem best and to execute and deliver all instruments and to do all acts which he deem necessary or proper to carry out the purposes of this, my Last Will and Testament. FIFTH No interest of any beneficiary of my estate, either in income or in principal, shall be subject to anticipation or pledge, assignment, sale or transfer in any manner,nor shall any beneficiary have the power in any manner to charge or encumber his or her interest either in income or principal,nor shall the interest of any beneficiary be liable or subject in any manner while in the possession of my personal representative for the liability of such beneficiary. Page 5 of 8 LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT OF LARRY W.DIEHL SIXTH I nominate,constitute and appoint BRANDON J.DIEHL as personal representative of this my Last Will and Testament. In the event BRANDON J.DIEHL is deceased,unable or unwilling to serve or shall cease to serve for any reason whatsoever, then I nominate, constitute and appoint LANCE E.DIEHL as personal representative of this my Last Will and Testament.
