WILL
OF
RICHARD J. MILLER
I, RICHARD J. MILLER, of Cumberland County, Pennsylvania, declare this
to be my will and hereby revoke all prior wills and codicils made by me.
1. Personalty. I bequeath 4€1 items of my tangible personal property
specifically itemi.:_.l ,on a list, if any, in my personal handwriting, signed
and dated by me-at the end thereof, and fastened to this my Will, to the
persons specifically named thereupon to receive such items, and the
remainder (or all, as' the case may be) of any items of tangible personal
property, together with all insurance relating thereto, to my wife,
Gretchen Z. Miller, if she survives me. If my wife does not survive me,
then I bequeath all said property, together with the insurance thereon, to
my daughter Heidi H. Miller.
2. Residue. I bequeath, devise, and appoint all the rest of my pro-
perty, of whatever nature and wherever situated, including property over
which I hold a power of appointment, except that I do not exercise any
power of appointment given to me by my wife, to the 'Trustee(s) hereinafter
named, for the following purposes:
(a) If my wife, Gretchen Z. Miller, survives me, then tbg
C} M
Trustee(s) shall establish Trust A hereunder, governta tby c,
w ro Cn n
paragraph 3 below, by allocation thereto, from the pf�)ptrp held ,
rxrn w ram
hereunder, an amount, if any, equal to (i) the minim ant o
kD.
cri CO
'++ CD
after taking into account all deductions other than the marital
deduction and applying all credits available, which is necessary
as the marital deduction to reduce to the lowest possible. amount
the federal estate tax payable by reason of my death and any
federal generation-skipping tax on any transfer with respect to
which I am the deemed transferor, less (ii) the value of all other
assets in my gross estate which qualify for the marital deduction
and which pass or have passed to my said wife under other provi-
sions of this will or otherwise. In determining such amount, all
assets involved in the calculation shall be valued at final i
federal estate tax values, but in funding Trust A, date of distri-
bution values shall be used and only assets that qualify for the
marital deduction shall be used. I intend that the interest of my
wife in Trust A shall qualify for the marital deduction, and any
provisions herein which may appear to conflict with or in any way
defeat my intention to obtain the marital deduction for the full
amount of Trust A shall be construed or applied to accomplish that
intention.
(b) The remainder of the property passing hereunder (or, if
my wife does not survive me, all the property passing hereunder)
shall be held as Trust B. (See paragraph 4 below.)
3. Trust A. The income and principal of Trust A (if established
hereunder) shall be distributed as follows:
2 -
person any part of the property passing under Trust A. To the
extent that my wife should fail to exercise effectively her power
of appointment over any part of the property in Trust A, the
Trustee(s) shall (except to the extent that my wife expressly
directs to the contrary in her last will or in a writing delivered
to the Trustee(s) during her lifetime) pay from the unappointed
portion of the principal of Trust A:
(i) the amount of any additional estate, inheri-
tance or other death taxes imposed on account of the
death of my wife by reason of her power of appointment
over and other rights in the unappointed portion of the
principal of Trust A (the amount of each such additional
tax to be equal to the excess if any of the tax, includ-
ing any interest thereon, payable by reason of her death
over the amount of such tax which would have been payable
if no such tax was payable by reason of her death with
respect to the unappointed principal of Trust A) , and
(ii) any expenses incurred in the administration of
her estate attributed to the determination of such taxes
(and the Trustee(s) may accept the written statement of
her personal representatives as to the amount of taxes
and expenses payable hereunder) ,
and the remaining balance of the principal held in Trust A at her
death shall be added to and considered part of Trust B and shall
4 -
be administered and distributed under the provisions herein
governing Trust B.
4. Trust B. The income and principal of Trust B shall be distributed
as follows:
(a) Income. The Trustee(s) shall pay the net income from
Trust B at least annually to or for the benefit of any or all of
my wife and issue in such proportions or amounts as in the discre-
tion of the Trustee(s) seems proper to provide for their support,
maintenance, and health care, for the education of my issue, and
for the maintenance by my wife of the standard of living main-
tained by her during my lifetime, taking into account such other
sources of income, support and estate that may be available to the
beneficiaries. Without intending to create any legal rights, I
state that I would approve distribution of income to those benefi-
ciaries in lower tax brackets, even if that would require invasion
of principal for other beneficiaries. No beneficiary of Trust B
shall participate as a co-Trustee in any decision under this sub-
paragraph (a) .
(b) Principal. The Trustee(s) shall from time to time pay
such sums from the principal of Trust B to or for the benefit of
my wife and issue as may in the discretion of the Trustee(s) seem
necessary for their support, maintenance and health care, for the
maintenance by my wife of the standard of living maintained by her
during my lifetime, and for the education of my issue, taking into
- 5 -
r
account such other sources of income, support and estate that may
be available to the beneficiary and the needs and resources of all
the beneficiaries. Any of the foregoing distributions to or for
the benefit of my issue shall be based on their needs, rather
than on a desire to maintain absolute equality of payments among
them. My first priority for the income and principal of Trust B
taken together is the support, maintenance, and health care of my
wife for life and the support, maintenance, health care, and
education of my daughter until completion of her education (to
include post graduate) . In determining whether any invasion shall
be made for the benefit of my wife from the principal of Trust A
or from the principal of Trust B, such invasion shall be made from
Trust A as far as practical. No beneficiary of Trust B shall par-
ticipate as a co-Trustee in any decision under this subparagraph (b).
(c) Additional Principal Distributions. The Trustee(s) may
also pay from the principal of Trust B such sums as in the discre-
tion of the Trustee(s) seems proper for the establishment of my
daughter in a business or profession or towards the acquisition or
furnishing of a home for her, taking into account the other
resources of the child, the desirability of the transaction, and
the reasonably anticipated needs and resources of all the benefi-
ciaries hereunder. No beneficiary of Trust B shall participate as
a co-Trustee in any decision under this subparagraph (c).
6 -
I
I
(d) Legal Support Obligation. No payment shall be made
under subparagraphs (a) , (b), or (c) above which would discharge
to any extent the legal obligation of any person for the support
of the recipient of such payment.
(e) Wife's Rights of Withdrawal. In addition to the
foregoing, during any calendar year my wife shall have the
unqualified right in her sole discretion to demand in one or more
writings delivered by her to the Trustee(s) that she be paid from
the principal of Trust B an amount not in excess of the greater of
Five Thousand Dollars ($5,000.00) or five percent (5%) of the
aggregate market value of the assets of Trust B as of December 31
of the calendar year during which such demand is made. The right
permitted my wife under this subparagraph (e) must be exercised by
her as herein provided on or before December 31 of the calendar
year to which applicable, and any amount as to which such right is
not exercised for any given calendar year shall lapse and shall
not accumulate or carry over to any future calendar year.
(f) After Wife's Lifetime; Limited Power of Appointment by
Wife. Upon the death of the survivor of my wife and me, if she
survives me, the Trustee(s) shall pay the balance held in Trust B,
outright or in trust, in such amounts or proportions to or for the
benefit of any or all of my issue and their spouses or former
spouses and persons gifts to whom are then allowable as deductions
under Section 2055 of the Internal Revenue Code (or any successor
7 —
provision) , as my wife may direct in her will making specific
reference to Trust B hereunder. To the extent that my wife should
fail to exercise effectively her limited power of appointment over
Trust B, or if she should predecease me, then from and after the
death of the survivor of my wife and me, the provisions of sub-
paragraph (g) hereof shall control.
(g) Distribution of Trust B. When my wife is no longer
living, the principal remaining in Trust B shall be distributed
per stirpes to my issue, provided, however, that if any such issue
is then under the age of thirty-five (35) years, his share shall
be held for him in a separate trust hereunder under the terms of
paragraph 5 below, or, if no issue of mine are then living, the
same shall be subject to the terms of subparagraph (h) below.
(h) Alternate Ultimate Distribution. Any property stated in
subparagraphs (f) or (g) above or paragraph 5(c) below to be held
under the terms of this subparagraph (h) , and any other property held
in trust hereunder when no issue of mine are living which is not
effectively disposed of elsewhere herein, shall be distributed
free of trust to my intestate heirs as determined under the
intestate succession act then in effect in Pennsylvania.
5. Separate Trusts. The income and principal of a separate trust in
which a share in Trust B is held for a beneficiary pursuant to the terms of
paragraph 4(g) above shall be distributed as follows:
8 -
I Y
(a) Income. The income shall be distributed at least quart-
erly to or for the benefit of the beneficiary. No payment shall
be made under this subparagraph (a) which would discharge to any
extent the legal obligation of any person for the support of the
beneficiary.
(b) Principal. The Trustee(s) shall pay from the principal
such sums to or for any or all of the beneficiary and his issue as
in the discretion of the Trustee(s) seems proper for their
support, maintenance, health care, and education, and such sums to
or for the benefit of the beneficiary as in the discretion of the
Trustee(s) seems proper to help establish him in a business or
profession or acquire or furnish a home for him, taking into
account the other sources of income, support and estate that are
available to the distributee, the reasonably anticipated needs and
resources of the beneficiary and his issue, their income and
estate tax brackets, the desirability of the transaction (if any),
and the possible application of any generation-skipping tax. No
payment shall be made under this subparagaph (b) which would
discharge to any extent the legal obligation of any person for the
support of the distributee.
(c) Distribution of Separate Trust.
(i) When such beneficiary shall have attained the
age of twenty-five (25) years, the Trustee(s) shall dis-
tribute to him at his written request one third (1/3) of
- 9 -
the remaining principal balance then held in his separate
trust; when such beneficiary shall have attained the age
of thirty (30) years, the Trustee(s) shall distribute to
him at his written request one half (1/2) of the remain-
ing principal balance; and when such beneficiary shall
have attained the age of thirty—five (35) years, the
Trustee(s) shall distribute to him at his written
request the entire balance held in his separate trust.
(ii) If such beneficiary should die before making
proper request for the entire balance in his separate
trust, then the entire balance in his separate trust
shall at his death be distributed, outright or in trust,
in such sums or proportions as such beneficiary may
direct in his last will, expressly referring to his
separate trust hereunder, but only among my issue and
their spouses or former spouses and persons gifts to
whom are then allowable as deductions under Section 2055
of the Internal Revenue Code (or any successor provis-
ion) ; and to the extent that such beneficiary shall fail
to exercise effectively his limited power of appointment
hereunder, the aforementioned balance in his separate
trust shall then be distributed per stirpes to his
issue, or, if no such issue survive him, per stirpes to
the issue of his parent who was a child or more remote
10 —
descendant of mine, or, if no such issue survive him,
per stirpes to the issue of his grandparent who was a
child or more remote descendant of mine or, if no such
issue survive him, per stirpes to my issue, with the
share of any of such issue for whom property is then
held in or payable to a separate trust under this
paragraph 5 being added to such separate trust, or, if
no issue of mine are then living, said balance shall be
subject to the provisions of paragraph 4(h) above.
(d) Disposition Upon Application of Rule Against
Perpetuities. Notwithstanding subparagraph (c) above, if during
the lifetime of a person for whom a separate trust under this
paragraph 5 was established the interest of such person therein
becomes void under the applicable rule against perpetuities, then
the balance in such separate trust shall then be distributed
outright to such person.
6. Survival Clauses. If any beneficiary hereunder should die within
sixty (60) days after me or within sixty (60) days after any other person
the survival of whom determines his rights hereunder, then such beneficiary
shall be deemed to have predeceased me or such other person for all pur-
poses hereunder.
7. Powers. In addition to such other powers and duties as may be
granted elsewhere herein or which may be granted by law, the fiduciaries
hereunder shall have the following powers and duties, without the necessity
of notice to or consent by any Court:
- 11 -
(a) To retain all or any part of my property, real or per-
sonal, in the form in which it may be held at the time of its
receipt, including any closely held business in which I have an
interest and any stock of any corporate fiduciary hereunder, as
long as in the exercise of 'their discretion it may be advisable so
to do, notwithstanding that said property may not be of a
character authorized by law, provided, however, that upon written
request by my wife, they shall within a reasonable time make pro-
ductive of income any interest in property (however and whenever
acquired) held in Trust A hereunder.
(b) To invest and reinvest any funds held hereunder in any
property, real or personal, including, but not by way of limita-
tion, bonds, preferred stocks, common stocks, and other securities
of domestic or foreign corporations or investment trusts, mort-
gages or mortgage participations, and common trust funds, even
though such property would not be considered appropriate or legal
for a fiduciary apart from this provision.
(c) To sell, convey, exchange, partition, give options to
buy or lease upon, or otherwise dispose of any property, real or
personal, at any time held by them, with or without order of court
at their option, at public or private sale or otherwise, for cash
or other consideration or for such credit terms as they think
proper, and upon such terms and for such prices as they may deter-
mine, and to convey such property free of all trusts.
- 12 -
(d) To borrow money from any person, including any fiduciary
hereunder, for any purpose in connection with the administration
hereof, to execute promissory notes or other obligations for
amounts so borrowed, and to secure the payments of such amounts by
mortgages or pledges of any property, real or personal, which may
be held hereunder.
(e) To make loans, secured or unsecured, in such amounts,
upon such terms, at such rates of interest, and to such persons,
firms or corporations as they may deem advisable.
(f) To renew or extend the time for payment of any obliga-
tion, secured or unsecured, payable to or by them, for as long a
period of time and on such terms, as they may determine, and to
adjust, settle and arbitrate claims or demands in favor of or
against them.
(g) In dividing or distributing any property, real or per-
sonal, included herein, to divide or distribute in cash, in kind,
or partly in cash and partly in kind.
(h) To hold, manage, and develop any real estate which may
be held by them at any time, to mortgage any such property in such
amounts and on such terms as they may deem advisable, to lease any
such property for such term or terms, and upon such conditions and
rentals as they may deem advisable, whether or not the term of any
such lease shall exceed the period permitted by law or the pro-
bable period of retention under this instrument; to make repairs,
13 -
replacements and improvements, structural and otherwise, in con-
, nection with any such property, to abandon any such property which
they may deem to be worthless or not of sufficient value to
warrant keeping or protecting, and to permit any such property to
be lost by tax sale or any other proceedings.
M To employ such brokers, banks, custodians, investment
counsel, attorneys, and other agents, and to delegate to them such
duties, rights and powers as they may determine, and for such
periods as they think fit.
(j) To register any securities at any time in their names as
fiduciary, or in the names of nominees, with or without indicating
the trust character of the securities so registered.
(k) With respect to any securities held hereunder, to vote
upon any proposition or election at any meeting of the person or
entity issuing such securities, and to grant proxies, discre-
tionary or otherwise, to vote at any such meeting; to join or
become a party to any reorganization, readjustment, merger, voting
trust, consolidation or exchange, and to deposit any such securi-
ties with any committee, depository, trustee or otherwise, and to
pay out of the trust created herein, any fees, expenses, and
assessments incurred in connection therewith; to exercise conver-
sion, subscription or other rights, and to receive or hold any new
securities issued as a result of any such reorganization, read-
justment, merger, voting trust, consolidation, exchange or exercise
14 -
of conversion, subscription or other rights and generally to take
all action with respect to any such securities as could be taken
by the absolute owner thereof.
(1) To engage in sales, leases, loans, and other transac-
tions with my estate, the estate of my wife, or any trust
established by either of us, even if they are also fiduciaries or
beneficiaries thereof.
(m) To make all necessary proofs of death under the
insurance policies of which they are the beneficiary, to execute
any receipts for the proceeds and to institute any action to
collect said proceeds and to make adjustments of any claim
thereunder, provided, however, that they need not institute any
action unless they shall have been indemnified against all expen-
ses and liabilities to which they may become subject as a result
thereof. If, however, they desire to institute such action
without indemnification, they are hereby authorized to be reim-
bursed for all expenses and liabilities incurred as a result
thereof from any amounts which may be held in trust hereunder then
or thereafter.
(n) To exercise all elections which they may have with
respect to income, gift, estate, inheritance or other taxes,
including without limitation execution of joint income tax
returns, election to deduct expenses in computing one tax or
another, election to split gifts, and election to pay or to defer
- 15 -
r
payment of any tax, in all events without their being bound to
require contribution from any other person.
(o) To operate, own, or develop any business or property
held hereunder in any form, including without limitation sole
proprietorship, limited or general partnership, corporation,
association, tenancy in common, condominium, or any other, whether
or not they have restricted or no management rights, as they in
their discretion think best.
8. Spendthrift Clause. No interest (whether in income or principal,
whether or not a remainder interest, and whether vested or contingent) of
any beneficiary hereunder shall be subject to anticipation, pledge, assign-
ment, sale or transfer in any manner, nor shall any beneficiary have power
in any manner to charge or encumber his said interest, nor shall the said
interest of any beneficiary be liable or subject in any manner while in the
possession of the fiduciaries for any liability of such beneficiary,
whether such liability arises from his debts, contracts, torts, or other
engagements of any type.
4. Facility of Payments for Minors or Incompetents. Any amounts or
property which are payable or distributable hereunder to a minor or incom-
petent may, at the discretion of the fiduciaries, be paid to the parent or
guardian of such minor or incompetent, to the person with whom such minor
or incompetent resides, or directly to such minor or incompetent, or may be
applied for the use or benefit of such minor or incompetent.
- 16 -
10. Taxes. I direct that all estate, inheritance, and succession
taxes that may be assessed in consequence of my death, of whatever nature
and by whatever jurisdiction imposed, other than generation-skipping taxes,
shall be paid out of the principal of my general estate to the same effect
as if said taxes were expenses of administration, except that any such
additional taxes (and interest and penalties thereon) imposed on account of
my interest in or power over any trust established by my wife shall be paid
out of the property held in such trust, and all other property includable
in my taxable estate for federal or state tax purposes, whether or not
passing under this will, shall be free and clear thereof; provided,
however, that my executor(s) may in the discretion of the executor(s)
request that any portion or all of said taxes (to be paid out of the prin-
cipal of my general estate) shall instead be paid out of the principal of
any trust established by me in this will or otherwise, to the extent
expressly authorized under the terms of said trust. With the consent of
the Trustee(s) hereunder, said taxes may be paid out of the principal of
Trust B hereunder as if said taxes were expenses of administration thereof,
provided, however, that no such taxes shall be paid out of Trust A
hereunder or out of assets, such as payments received from a qualified pen-
sion or profit-sharing plan, that are not includible in my federal gross
estate.
11 . Fiduciaries. I appoint as executrix hereunder my wife, Gretchen
Z. Miller. If my said wife should be unable or unwilling to serve or to
complete the administration of my estate, then The Commonwealth National
17 -
4
Bank shall serve in her place. I appoint as Trustees hereunder my wife,
Gretchen Z. Miller, and The Commonwealth National Bank. If my said wife
should be unable or unwilling to serve or to complete the administration of
any trust hereunder, then Matthew D. Mackie, Jr. , presently of Clarks
Summit, Pennsylvania shall serve in her place, and should he be unable or
unwilling to serve or to complete the administration of any trust hereunder,
no successor shall be appointed to serve in his place. My personal repre-
sentative shall serve as guardian of the property of any minor benefi-
ciaries hereunder, under any instrument of trust executed by me, under any
policies of insurance on my life, and in any other situation in which the
power to make such appointment exists under the laws of Pennsylvania. If
(without regard to paragraph 6 above) my wife does not survive me, then I
appoint as guardian of the person of my daughter, if then a minor, my
wife's sister, Kay Z. White. No individual fiduciary shall be liable for
the acts, omissions or defaults of any agent appointed and retained with
due care or of any co-fiduciary. No fiduciary shall be required to furnish
bond or other security for the proper performance of his duties hereunder.
12. Gender. Unless the context indicates otherwise, any use of the
masculine gender herein shall also include the feminine gender.
