Steere 22 Ashburn Drive, RM 105 Carlisle, Pennsylvania 17013 (717) 245-4940 LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT OF EILEEN M. KNOLL I, Eileen M. Knoll, a resident of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, make, publish and declare this to be my Last Will and Testament, revoking all wills and codicils at any time heretofore made by me. I live with my husband who retired from the military service of the United States. FIRST: I direct that the expenses of my last illness and funeral, the expenses of the administration of my estate, and all estate, inheritance and similar taxes payable with respect to property included in my estate, whether or not passing under this will, and any interest or penalties thereon, shall be paid out of my residuary estate, without apportionment and with no right of reimbursement from any recipient of any such property. SECOND: It is my desire that, upon my death, my body be cremated. I have not contracted for or paid for any funeral arrangements. THIRD: I give all real estate owned by me at the time of my death, and all rights that I have under any related insurance policies, to my husband Edward F. Knoll, if he survives me. If my husband shall not survive me, I give said real property to Gloria R. Knoll FOURTH: I give all the rest, residue and remainder of my property and estate, both real and personal, of whatever kind and wherever located, that I own or to which I shall be in any manner entitled at the time of my death (collectively referred to as my "residuary estate"), as follows: (a) If my husband Edward F. Knoll survives me, to my husband outright. (b) If my husband does not survive me, I devise of my residuary estate as follows: i. I give my home at 341 Evergreen Street, New Cumberland, Pennsylvania to Gloria R. Knoll outright, if she survives me. ii. I give the remainder of my residuary estate to those of my children Edward H. Knoll, James M. Knoll and John K. Knoll and my granddaughter Rachel M. Knoll who survive me in substantially equal shares and to the issue who survive me of those of Edward H. Knoll, James M. Knoll, John K. Knoll and Rachel M. Knoll who shall not survive me, per stirpes. (c) If my husband does not survive me and there shall be no issue of mine then living, I give my residuary estate to those who would take from me as if I were then to die without a will, unmarried and the absolute owner of my residuary estate, and a resident of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. FIFTH: If any property of my estate vests in absolute ownership in a minor or incompetent, my Executor, at any time and without court authorization, may: distribute the whole or any part of such property to the beneficiary; or use the whole or any part for the health, education, maintenance and support of the beneficiary; or distribute the whole or any part to a guardian, committee or other legal representative of the beneficiary, or to a custodian for the beneficiary under any gifts to minors or transfers to minors act, or to the person or persons with whom the beneficiary resides. Evidence of any such distribution or the receipt therefor executed by the person to whom the distribution is made shall be a full discharge of my Executor from any liability with respect thereto, even though my Executor may be such person. If such beneficiary is a minor, my Executor may defer the distribution of the whole or any part of such property until the beneficiary attains the age of eighteen (18) years, and may hold the same as a separate fund for the beneficiary with all of the powers described in Article SEVENTH hereof. If the beneficiary dies before attaining said age, any balance shall be paid and distributed to the estate of the beneficiary. SIXTH: I appoint Edward H. Knoll to be my Executor. I direct that no Executor shall be required to file or furnish any bond, surety or other security in any jurisdiction. SEVENTH: I grant to my Executor all powers conferred on executors under the Pennsylvania Probate, Estates and Fiduciaries Code, as amended, or any successor thereto, and all powers conferred upon executors wherever my Executor may act. I also grant to my Executor power to retain, sell at public or private sale, exchange, grant options on, invest and reinvest, and otherwise deal with any kind of property, real or personal, for cash or on credit; to borrow money and encumber or pledge any property to secure loans; to exercise all powers of an absolute owner of property; to compromise and release claims with or without consideration; and to employ attorneys, accountants and other persons for services or advice. The term 'Executor" wherever used herein shall mean the executors, executor, executrix or administrator in office from time to time. EIGHTH: I direct that for purposes of this will a beneficiary shall be deemed to predecease me unless such beneficiary survives me by more than thirty days. NINTH: My husband has served in the Armed Forces of the United States. I therefore request that my Executor make appropriate inquiries to ascertain whether there are any benefits to which 1, my dependents or my heirs may be entitled by virtue of any military affiliation. I specifically request that my Executor consult with a retired affairs officer at the nearest military installation, the Department of Veterans Affairs, and the Social Security Administration. 2 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I, Eileen M.
