.21- O~- I-j();l,.
OF
JOHN E. BURKE
I, JOHN E. BURKE, of 1101 Drexel Hills Boulevard, New Cumberland,
Pennsylvania 17070, do make, publish and declare this to be my Last Will and Testament, hereby
revoking all Wills and Codicils by me at any time made.
ITEM I: I direct that all inheritance and estate taxes becoming due
by reason of my death, whether such taxes may be payable by my estate or by any recipient of
any property, shall be paid by the Executor out of the property passing under ITEM V of this
Will, as an expense and cost of administration of my estate. The Executor shall have no duty
or obligation to obtain reimbursement for any such tax so paid, even though on proceeds of
insurance or other property not passing under this Will.
ITEM II: I direct the Executor to pay the expenses of my last illness
and funeral expenses from the property passing under this Will as an expense and cost of
administration of my estate.
ITEM III: If I predecease my wife, LOUISE J. BURKE, I give and
bequeath to her absolutely and in fee simple all of my household furniture and furnishings,
books, pictures, jewelry, silverware, automobiles, wearing apparel and all other articles of
household or personal use or adornment and all policies of insurance thereon, provided that if
my spouse dies before the thirtieth (30th) day following the day of my death, I make said bequest
to my children living at the time of my death, to be divided among them as they shall agree, the
Page 1
~~
'.
Executor to represent any minors in such division. Should there be no agreement, such property
shall be divided among them by the Executor in as nearly equal portions as is deemed practical
in the sole discretion of the Executor, having due regard to the personal preferences of such
children. Any other of such property to which a minor would thus become entitled which the
Executor thinks unsuitable for such minor's use shall be sold and the proceeds thereof added to
the share of my residuary estate held for the benefit of such minors. Any of such property to
which a minor becomes entitled and which is not sold may be delivered to the person with whom
the minor resides or who has the care or control of him without bond, and the receipt of such
person shall be a complete release of the Executor.
ITEM IV: The gift to my spouse in this Item is intended to give my
estate the marital deduction effective under the Internal Revenue Code to reduce Federal estate
tax. Any provisions in this Will which conflict with or fail of this intention shall be so
reconciled or amplified as to accomplish this objective.
If my spouse, LOUISE J. BURKE, survives me, I direct that my Trustees,
hereinafter named, hold, IN TRUST, an amount free of all taxes equal to the maximum marital
deduction allowable to my estate for Federal estate tax purposes, reduced by an amount, if any,
needed to increase my taxable estate to the largest amount that after allowing for the unified
credit and any other credits available to my estate, will result in no Federal estate tax, and pay
the net income therefrom not less frequently than quarterly to my spouse for life. All income
accrued but not paid to my spouse on the date of my spouse's death shall be paid by Trustee to
my spouse's estate.
My Trustee shall pay to her personal representatives from any unappointed
principal the difference between all taxes, interest and penalties which they must pay by reason
Page 2
rfd
of her death and those which would be payable by them if such unappointed principal were not
taxable in her estate and shall add the balance of such unappointed principal to my residuary Trust.
ITEM V: I give and devise the residue of my estate, real and personal,
to my Trustee hereinafter named, IN TRUST, as follows:
(a) The net income therefrom shall be paid to my spouse, LOUISE J. BURKE, for
life.
(b) My spouse shall have the power to appoint to herself up to the greater amount
of five percent (5%) or $5,000 annually from the principal of the residuary trust under this Item.
This power of appointment shall be noncumulative and may be exercised during my spouse's
lifetime only by her giving the Trustee written direction other than by her Will.
(c) Upon the death of the survivor of myself and my spouse, the principal shall be
held for the benefit of my son, SHAWN D. BURKE, as follows:
(i) During the lifetime of my son, SHAWN D. BURKE, Trustee shall pay to or
for the benefit of my said son all of the income of this Trust and so much of the principal
of this Trust as may be necessary, in the sole discretion of the Trustee, for the health,
maintenance, emergency and occupational, college or higher education of my son, son's wife,
and son's children, such payment being made for occupational, college or higher education
of grandchildren contingent on the achievement of passing grades. The invasion of principal
for health, emergency, and maintenance of my son, son's wife, and son's children shall only
be made after exhausting other income of my son available for such purposes.
(d) Upon the death of my son, or upon my death if he predeceases me, the share
of principal from which he is eligible to receive income shall be divided into as many equal shares
as there are grandchildren of mine then living. Thereafter:
Page 3
~
(i) The net income may, in the absolute and sole discretion of Trustee, be paid
to or accumulated on behalf of each of my living grandchildren until they attain the age
of twenty-one (21) years, at which time the income shall be paid to each grandchild for
life, provided however, that each such grandchild shall have the right to withdraw
one-third (113) of his or her share of the principal and accumulated income when he or
she shall attain the age of twenty-five (25) years, one-half (112) of his or her remaining
share of the principal and accumulated income when he or she shall attain the age of
thirty (30) years, and the remaining balance of his or her share of the principal and
accumulated income when he or she shall attain the age of thirty-five (35) years. The
rights of withdrawal may be exercised from time to time in whole or in part and the said
rights of withdrawal shall be cumulative.
(ii) Upon the death of each of my grandchildren who survive my son, the share
of principal from which he is eligible to receive income shall be paid to his surviving
issue, per stirpes, or in default of such issue, shall be added to my remaining grandchild's
share or the then living issue of my deceased grandchild's share, per stirpes, to be held
in trust for my remaining grandchild as part of the share from which he receives income
or to be paid over to the issue of said deceased grandchild, per stirpes.
(iii) If no issue of my son survive the survivor of my said spouse and myself, the
remaining undistributed principal and accumulated income shall be divided into two equal shares
and one share shall be paid to my heirs who would be entitled thereto under the Intestate Laws
of Pennsylvania in effect at the death of the survivor of myself and my spouse; and the other
share shall be paid to my spouse's heirs who would be entitled thereto under the Intestate Laws
of Pennsylvania in effect at the death of the survivor of myself and my spouse as if my spouse
had then died Intestate.

~B.
ITEM VI: No part of the income or principal of the property held under
any Trust created by this Will shall be subject to attachment, levy or seizure by any creditor,
spouse, assignee or trustee or receiver in bankruptcy of any beneficiary prior to his or her actual
receipt thereof. The Trustee shall pay over the net income and the principal to the parties herein
designated, as their interests may appear, without regard to any attempted anticipation, pledging
or assignment by any beneficiary under a Trust, and without regard to any claim thereto or
attempted levy, attachment, seizure or other process against said beneficiary.
ITEM VII: In the settlement of my estate and during the continuance
of the foregoing Trusts, the Executor and the Trustee shall possess, among others, the following
powers:
(a) To retain all property received by them including the stock of any corporate
fiduciary acting hereunder, provided such property remains productive;
(b) To invest in all forms of property without restriction to investments authorized
to fiduciaries, so long as such investments are productive;
(c) To join in any incorporation, partnership, recapitalization, merger,
reorganization or voting trust plan; to delegate authority with respect thereto; to deposit
investments under agreements and pay assessments; and generally to exercise all rights
of investors;
(d) To compromise controversies;
(e) To exchange or sell for cash, property or credit, publicly or privately, or to
lease, even for a term exceeding five (5) years or the duration of the trusts hereunder,
Page 5
#-
without liability on the purchasers or lessees to see to application of the consideration,
and to give options for these purposes without obligation to repudiate them in favor of
a higher offer;
(f) With respect to my residuary trust under Item FIFTH hereof, to allocate items
of receipt or disbursement between income and principal as they deem equitable
regardless of the character given such items by law;
(g) To apply income or principal to which any beneficiary is entitled directly for
his or her maintenance and support should they deem such beneficiary incapable of
receiving the same by reason of age, illness or any infirmity or incapacity, or to pay the
same to such person as they select to disburse it, whose receipt shall be a complete
acquittance therefor, without the intervention of any guardian;
(h) To borrow money, including the right to borrow from any corporate fiduciary
acting hereunder, and mortgage or pledge as security;
(i) To hold investments in the name of a nominee;
