LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT

C= o s � �
(Pour-Over Will) m
Of
William C. Zvarich Cz °
a o r� rn
r co Co
I, WILLIAM C. ZVARICH, a resident of the City of Shiremanstown, County r6t ''r
Cumberland, Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, which I declare to be my domicile, do
hereby make, publish, and declare this to be my LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT,
hereby revoking all Wills and Codicils at any time heretofore made by me.
FIRST: Declaration Concerning Family. I declare that I am married and that my wife's
name is Mildred M. Zvarich. I have two (2) children, namely: Kathleen I. Maeyer and
Susan E. Whaley.
SECOND: Nomination and Appointment of Executor. I hereby nominate and appoint
Mildred M. Zvarich to be my Executor hereunder, to serve without bond. In the event
my nominee fails to become or at any time ceases to be the duly appointed and acting
Executor hereunder, I nominate Kathleen I. Maeyer as Executor, to serve without bond.
In the event my nominee Kathleen I. Maeyer fails to become or at any time ceases to be
the duly appointed and acting Executor hereunder, I nominate Susan E. Whaley as
Executor, to serve without bond. The term "Executor" as used herein shall apply
regardless of gender.
THIRD: Debts, Taxes and Administration Expenses; Powers of Executor. I have
provided the payment of all of my debts, expenses of administration of property wherever
situated passing under the Last Will and Testament or otherwise, and estate, inheritance,
transfer, and succession taxes, other than any tax on a generation-skipping transfer that is
not a liability of my Estate (including interest and penalties, if any) that become due by
reason of my death, under The William C. Zvarich and Mildred M. Zvarich Revocable
Living Trust, signed earlier this day and bearing the same date as this Last Will and
Testament, (The "Revocable Trust") or if my wife predeceases me, under the TRUST A
created by said Revocable Trust. If the Revocable Trust assets should be insufficient for
these purposes, my Executor shall pay any unpaid items from the residue of my Estate
passing under this Last Will and Testament, without apportionment or reimbursement. In
the alternative, my Executor may demand in writing, addressed to the Trustee of the
Trust, an amount necessary to pay all or part of these items, plus claims, pecuniary

• legacies, and family allowances by court order. I authorize my Executor to receive and
retain any of my property; to sell at public or private sale, encumber or lease any property
of my estate without notice, at such prices and upon such terms as he/she deems best, and
without the giving of any bond, subject, however, to such confirmation as may be
required by law; to hold, manage and operate such property; to continue the operation of
any business of my estate, alone or in partnership with others, for such times and in such
manner as deemed advisable, or to sell or liquidate such business, and any such
operation, sale or liquidation shall be at risk of my estate and without liability on my
Executor for any losses resulting therefrom; to invest and reinvest surplus moneys in such
investments as he/she deems advisable; to determine what is principal and what is income
of my estate and to allocate and charge to either principal or income any debts, taxes and
expenses of administration.
FOURTH: Disposition of All Property, Exercise of Power of Appointment. It is my
intention by this Last Will and Testament to dispose of my separate property, if any, and
also my share of the held property of my wife, Mildred M. Zvarich, and myself. I do not
intend hereby to exercise any power of appointment which I may have arising from that
Trust Agreement described in Paragraph SIXTH.
FIFTH: Disposition of Personal Effects. Except as provided in any written instructions
to my Executor regarding the disposition of personal effects, I give any interest I have in
all personal automobiles, clothing,jewelry, china, silver, books, pictures, and other works
• of art, household furniture and furnishings and all other items of domestic, household or
personal use to wife, if she survives me. If my wife fails to survive me, I give such
property to the Trustee of that Trust Agreement described in paragraph SIXTH. The
bequests made by this paragraph shall be free and clear of estate and inheritance taxes,
which I direct my Executor to charge against the residue of my estate.
SIXTH: Disposition of Residue of Estate.
1. All the rest, residue and remainder of my estate, both real and personal and of
whatever kind and wherever situated, including all of my separate property, if any, and
my share of the jointly held property of my wife and myself, I give, devise and bequeath
to the individual or bank then acting as Trustee under the certain Trust Agreement
designated as The William C. Zvarich and Mildred M. Zvarich Revocable Living Trust,
signed earlier this day and bearing the same date as this Last Will and Testament, of
which my wife and I are Co-Trustors and Co-Trustees, to be combined with the other
assets of the trust and held, administered and distributed as a part of that trust, according
to the terms thereof and any amendments made to it prior to my death. It is my intent, if
it be permissible, not to create a separate trust by this Last Will and Testament and not to
subject, The William C. Zvarich and Mildred M. Zvarich Revocable Living Trust, or
property added to it by this Subparagraph (1) to the jurisdiction of probate court. Should
I be the Surviving Spouse, as defined by such Agreement, the distributions under this
Paragraph SIXTH shall be to TRUST A only.
The Last Will and Testament of William C. Zvarich
The William C. Zvarich Pour Over Will
• 2. If for any reason the disposition of Subparagraph (1) is not operative or is invalid, or if
the trust referred to in Subparagraph (1) fails or has been revoked, the I give the rest,
residue and remainder of my estate, including my share of the jointly held property, to the
individual(s) or bank which would have been Trustee of such trust had such trust been
operative, valid and unrevoked at the time of my death, to be held, administered and
distributed under the terms and conditions of The William C. Zvarich and Mildred M.
Zvarich Revocable Living Trust, signed earlier this day and bearing the same date as this
Last Will and Testament, which trust is incorporated herein by reference.
3. Anything else herein to the contrary notwithstanding, should any portion of such trust
be terminable upon my death, the disposition made in this paragraph SIXTH shall be
made directly to the beneficiaries for whom the outright disposition from the trust shall
be made, and the remainder which will remain in such trust, if any, shall pass into such
trust under the provisions of Paragraph SIXTH (1) or(2), as the case may be.
4. Should the Trustee of that Trust described in Paragraph SIXTH (1) or (2) elect not to
pay any or all of the estate, gift or inheritance taxes from such trust, then, to the extent
they are not so paid, all taxes levied by the United States or any state, district, territory or
possession thereof upon or because of any property passing under this Last Will and
Testament or any Codicil thereto or by reason of any transfer or gift made by me during
my lifetime or at my death, or which may be imposed by reason of my death, or the
acquisition of property of any person upon my death by succession, inheritance,
• survivorship or otherwise, shall be paid out of the residue of my estate as an expense of
administration. My Executor is authorized to accept any distributions from the Trustee of
that trust described in Paragraph SIXTH (1) or(2) for purposes of such payment.
SEVENTH: Omitted Heirs; Will Contests, Except as otherwise specified in this Will. I
have intentionally and with full knowledge omitted to provide for my heirs at the time of
my death. If any beneficiary under this Will attacks any of its provisions or the trust
described in Paragraph SIXTH herein, directly or indirectly, any share or interest in my
estate given to such person under this Will is hereby revoked, and such share or interest
shall be distributed in the same manner provided herein as if such person had predeceased
me.
EIGHTH: Partial Invalidity. Should any part, clause, provision or condition of this Will
be held to be void, invalid or inoperative, then I direct that such invalidity shall not affect
any other provision hereof, which shall be effective as though such invalid provisions had
not been made.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have signed and subscribed my name to this Will this
day of Vl.Nc-`rA , 200c
