I, KATHERINE RITTER SEXTON, of the Township of Cooke, County of Cumberland and

publish this my last Will and Testament in the manner fo',.lowing,to wit:
FIRST: A. C'remati�n I direct that on my death my remains be cremated and half of
the ashes placed in an urn and taken to Bloomsburg, Pennsylvania, and that urn planted in the

("my Memorandum"). If my husband does not survive me, items of tangible personal
property not disposed of under my Memorandum, or if no such document exists, shall be
included in the remainder of my estate. Property not distributed may be sold, or if a sale
is not practical, donated to charity as selected by my Executor. All expenses of storing,
insuring, packing and shipping my tangible personal property shall be paid as an
administration expense of my estate.
g, �nP���c PecLriarv Re�►i�.st� If my husband H. Jay Sexten has
predeceased me, I give and devise the following specific pecuniary bequests to these
individuals who survive Me:
1. To Jacquie Hall (Chataigne)the sum of Five Thousand Dollars ($5000.00)
2. To Eric Scheuttig the sum of Five Thousand Dollars ($5000.00)
3. To Michael C. Dubbs the sum of Five Thousand Dollars ($5000.00)
THIRD: F�tatP nd Tnh .ritan .e Tax The payment of taxes that arise as a result of my
death and issues related to such taxes are dealt with in this Article THIRD as follows:
A. 4nur . . �f Pavment I direct that a11 estate, inheritance, transfer, legacy, succession and
other death taxes and duties, including interest and penalties if any, of any nature which may be
imposed upon, or with respect to property passing under this Will or otherwise, payable under the
laws of any jurisdiction by reason of my death ("Death Taxes"), whether or not the property
generating the Death Taxes passes under this Will or any Codicil, shall be paid and all related tax
2
credits allocated proportionately out of the property passing to the Family Trust under Article
FIFTH. No part of the Death Taxes shall be apportioned or prorated to any other beneficiary
receiving my probate or non probate property.
B. Alln ati�n� and F.lectic,n� My Executor has full authority to make all allocations and
elections permitted by the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 as amended and explicated by Internal
Revenue Service Regulations (the "Code") and applicable state law even if the election would
:ncrease my taxable estate. Such elections and allocations shall be made withaut regard to the
relative interest of the beneficiaries. No adjustments shall be made in the interests of the
beneficiaries to compensate for the effects of such elections and allocation. Any decision made by
my Executor in the exercise of any election, allocation, challenge to or payment of Death T�es
shall be conclusive and binding upon all persons interested in my estate and not subject to
question by any beneficiary or court, and my Executor shall have no liability as a result of any
such decision.
C, Flecti�n tn i�e nct Admini�trati�n Fxne�ses No adjustment shall be made between
income and principal either by reason of the fact that any deduction may have been taken and
allowed for income tax purposes rather than for federal estate tax purposes or by reason of any
election as to the date of valuation for my estate. The source of the payment of any administration
expenses allowed for income tax purposes shall be from the amount set aside and devised to the
trust established under Article FIFTH if to do otherwise would cause an increase in Federal estate
3
_ ___ _ _
taxes.
FOURTH: �nr�e�t t� HLShand if he shall survive me, I give and devise to my husband,
H. Jay Sexton, an amount equal to the difference between my gross estate as established for
federal estate tax purposes and the amount necessary to reduce to zero the federal estate tax
payable as a result of my death, or in the discretion of my Executor, to reduce to zero the New
Jersey estate ta�c payable as a result of my death. In determining this amount my Executor sha11
take into account my specific bequests and all non probate assets included in my estate for federal
taa� purposes that do not qualify for the marital or charitable deduction, the unified credit, i.e. the
applicable credit amount under Code Section 2010, available to my estate and the state death tax
credit (provided use of this credit does not require an increase in the state death taxes paid). The
applicable credit amount available to my estate shall reflect the unified credit applied to my
t�able gifts.
A. Fi'n�This bequest shall be funded with assets selected by my Executor and valued
for this purpose at their value on the date of transfer to my husband.
g, n;��laimer �f Reai�est If my husband executes a Code Section 2518 qualified
disclaimer of any portion of this Bequest, the portion so disclaimed, which may be the entire
bequest, shall be reduced by its proportionate share of all federal and state taxes imposed on my
estate due to the disclaimer. The balance of the disclaimed portion sha11 be transferred to the
Trustee of the Family Trust to be held and distributed according to its terms.
4
C. ��ch�nc� Predece� If my husband does not survive me my Co-Executors shall
transfer that portion of the remainder of my estate necessary to fund any bequest under Sub
Paragraph D 2 of Article FIFTH to the Trustee of the Family Trust to be held and distributed
thereunder and to distribute the rest of the remainder of my estate directly to my children under
Sub Paragraph D 1 of Article FIFTH in as my Trustee shall instruct.
FIFTH• �rP.�;+ ChPltPr R�maee Fam1�V TTt1Ct I give and devise all the rest, residue and
remainder of my estate and property, real, personal and mixed, of whatsoever it may consist and
wheresoever it may be situate, whether now owned by me, or by me hereafter acquired, to my
Trustee, hereinafter named, of the Family Trust. The transfer to the Family Trust under this
devise,together with all property subsequently transferred to or acquired by the Trustee as income
or otherwise is referred to as "the Trust Estate" of this trust or any trust created hereunder.
A, P���en nf Tn �m fr�m FS ate n H��shand Until assets are transferred to the Trustee
of the Family Trust, my Executor may estimate and, out of my general estate, make payments of
the income to my husband as provided for in paragraph B of this Article FIFTH.
$, ��„�+Pnt nf Tnc�me frnm Familv Tn��t tn Hnchand Trustee shall pay to, or apply for
the benefit of, my husband during his lifetime all of the net income of the Family Trust no less
often than quarterly.
C, nistrih rti�n �f T �st FStatP t�Hu�hanc� My Co-Trustee, other than my husband who is
specifically excluded from any role in regard to the invasion or distribution of the Trust Estate
5
under this Paragraph, is authorized in Trustee's sole and absolute discretion,to pay to, or apply for
the benefit of my husband a part of the Trust Estate (even to the point of exhausting the same) in
such amounts and from time to time as the Trustee may deem advisable to provide adequately for
his health, support, and maintenance in his accustomed manner of living, bearing in mind that his
needs are my primary concern. This provision shall be construed in accordance with federal law
to retain estate tax advantages to my and my husband's estate. Further, Trustee may make a
partial or full distribution of the Trust Estate, or direct the distribution thereof by my Executor, to
take into account increases in the applicable credit amount that would cause the continuation of
the Family Trust to have no estate tax saving benefit.
D. T)ivi�i�n �f Tr►i�t F�tate tt�n�n Hii�hand'� neath Upon the death of my husband, or if
he has predeceased me, then upon my death, the Trust Estate shall be divided into a separate
equal share for each of our children, Christine Sexton Mudge and Daniel M. Sexton, who
survives and one share for the issue of a deceased child � sti�, subject to representation.
The separate share of any child who dies without issue shall be added in equal parts to the
shares of my surviving child or the issue of a deceased child � sti e�, subject to
representation. Each share shall be held as a separate trust. The Trustee shall have sole
discretion to determine which assets shall be included in the Trust Estate of each trust.
1. T)ictrihu ic,n�m Child The Trust Estate of each child's trust shall be distributed to him
or her at the time of the division of the Trust Estate under this Paragraph D if the child has by then
6
attained the age of thirty (30) years. Otherwise, one half of the Trust Estate shall be distributed
when heLor she attains the age of twenty-five (25) years, and the remainder of the Trust Estate
shall be distributed when heL�she attains the age of thirty(30)years. Prior to the full distribution
of the Trust Estate, the Trustee shall pay to, or apply for the benefit of, the child who is the
beneficiary of the trust a11 of the net income of the trust no less often than quarterly.
2, T)i�trihut;�ns tn Ts�ue The Trust Estate of the share held in trust for the issue of a
deceased child shall continue to be held in trust so long as any issue is under the age of twenty-one
(21). When all issue have attained the age of twenty-one (21) or have sooner died, Trustee sha11
distribute the Trust Estate to the issue in equal shares, �S�t�, subject to representation. Prior
to the full distribution of the Trust Estate, the Trustee in its sole discretion, may accumulate all or
part of the income of the Trust Estate or distribute or apply income for the benefit of any issue for
purposes of health, education, maintenance or support. In exercising its discretion, the Trustee
may treat issue unequally without being required to justify disparate treatment.
E. Re�idential Pm� If any residential property is held as part of the Trust Estate of the
Family Trust, Trustee sha11 permit my husband to occupy such real estate rent free. Upon my
husband's death, my Trustee may sell such real estate or retain it for the use of a beneficiary.
Trustee shall have the discretion to permit a beneficiary to occupy the property without payment of
rent or to charge rent. However, Trustee shall not require any beneficiary who is an occupant to
pay the property taxes or mortgage interest attributable to such property.
7
F, RPnPficiar;under ni�ah;lit; Any portion of the Trust Estate that may be distributable to
a child or issue (the "beneficiary") who is under a disability shall be subject to the following
provisions:
1. T)efini i�n nf l�i�ahilitv A beneficiary shall be considered to be under a disability when
the beneficiary, in the opinion of Trustee after consultation with competent professional authority,
shall be unable to properly manage his or her affairs by reason of alcohol or other substance abuse,
illness or physical handicap.
2. (�'nntimiatl(1T1 �f Tn�st Trustee may hold the portion of the Trust Estate otherwise
distributable to a beneficiary who is under a disability IN TRUST under the provisions of this trust
beyond the time at which distribution would otherwise be required. Alternatively, Trustee may
distribute beneficiary's share of the Trust Estate to the guardian, of the beneficiary. The receipt of
the guardian shall be a full acquittance and discharge to the Trustee for the property so distributed.
The Trust Estate held in trust for a beneficia.ry under this Paragraph may be distributed to or for
the benefit of the beneficiary as the Trustee in Trustee's sole discretion shall determine for the
beneficiary's health,maintenance, or support.
3. T rminatinn nf T�icahilitv_ The Trust Estate sha11 be distributed in accordance with the
provisions of this Article FIFTH to a beneficiary who becomes free of disability as determined by
Trustee as confirmed by Trustee's consultation with competent professional authority.
G, T i n� nd A��;�mPnt c,f Renefits The interest of any beneficiary in the Trust Estate of
8
any trust created under this Article FIFTH, shall be free from that beneficiary's debts and
liabilities. Thus, no beneficiary may assign or in any manner, anticipate, encumber or otherwise
alienate any portion of his or her interest in the Trust Estate nor shall such interest be subject to
execution or process for the enforcement of judgments or claims of any kind, including those
arising from contract or in tort, against such beneficiary.
H, R �nl��t;�n nf C�ntrc,versie� It is my wish that my Trustee shall settle any account or
question concerning the administration of any trust created under this Article FIFTH by a�rreement
with the beneficiary, or the guardian or representative of any incompetent beneficiary. Any
agreement under this Paragraph shall bind all persons who may ever have an interest in the
affected trust and shall effectively release and discharge the Trustee. Further, if any dispute arises
from an interpretation of the language of any provision of any trust created hereunder,the Trustee
is fully authorized to construe such provision and any determination by the Trustee shall be final
and binding upon a11 persons with an interest therein.
I, nTTP F.lectinn My Executor may make a QTIP election to qualify all, part or none of
the Family Trust as a Code Section 2056(b)(7) "qualifying income interest for life" if to make
such election would reduce the liability for payment of Pennsylvania estate tax or Federal estate
taac by my esta.te or my husband's estate. The elected portion of the Family Trust shall be a sub-
trust funded with assets selected by my Executor or Trustee that qualify for the marital
deduction measured in value at the time of funding as the fair market value of the assets so
9
selected.
SIXTH: F ilur �f i)i�trihnti�n If my properly is not fully distributed pursuant to the
bequests in my Will, it shall be divided into two shares. One share shall be distributed to those
individuals who would take from my estate assuming I had survived my husband and died
intestate, unmarried and a resident of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. The other share shall
be distributed to those individuals who would take from my husband's estate assuming he had
survived me,died intestate,unmarried and a resident of Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
SEVENTH: Trust.� I hereby nominate and appoint my husband, H. Jay Sexton and my
son, Daniel M. Sexton and my daughter Christine Sexton Mudge as Co-Trustees (referred to
herein as"Trustee")of the Family Trust and all trusts created hereunder.
A, �„c�P���r Tn�stee If there is only one Trustee and no alternates remain, he or she is
hereby given the right to appoint a Co-Trustee or a Successor Trustee that is an individual or a
corporate Trustee. The Trustee shall have the authority to amend the Family Trust with respect to
fees or other matters as may be reasonably required to permit the acceptance or retention of
Trusteeship. Each Successor Trustee shall have the powers and discretion herein granted to their
predecessor. No individual Trustee shall be subject to any liability for his or her own actions
under the authority granted hereunder taken in gooci faith. No Trustee shall be liable for any
action or omission of a predecessor Trustee.
g, l��cumentati�n �f ('hange in Tn�stee Any appointment, removal, substitution or
10
resignation of a Trustee shall be made by written instrument duly signed, acknowledged before a
notary public and filed with the records of the trust. Any such instrument may be changed in like
manner by the person or persons making the same before it takes effect, need not take effect
immediately,and may be contingent upon the occurrence or non-occurrence of any event.
C, p�wer� nf Tr►istee
1. ('Teneral P�wer� I authorize and empower the Trustee to convert, reconvert, invest,
reinvest and keep safely invested any of the funds, property and estate coming into the Trust
Estate of any trust created under this, my Last Will and Testament, in such securities and
investments as Trustee shall deem proper. However, this power shall be exercised under the
authorities and limitations contained in New Jersey Statutes Annotated 3B:20-1 et. seq.; 3B:14-
23 et. seq. and other applicable laws of the State of New Jersey regarding investments and the
administration of trusts as they may from time to time be promulgated or amended.
2. P�wer t� Terminate Tn�st Subject to the other provisions of my Will, if the Trustee
determines that the corpus of any trust established hereunder is so small as to make the
administration of that trust impractical, the Trustee may distribute the Trust Estate to those
beneficiaries then entitled to receive such distribution had the Trust continued for its normal term.
3, niStrih rti�n t� Cnstndian If the distribution would otherwise be to a person who has
not reached the age of twenty one (21) years the distribution shall be made to a person chosen by
the Trustee to serve as a custodian of an account established for the beneficiary that is subject to
t1
the Uniform Transfer to Minors Act.
EIGHTH: F�ut.�I hereby nominate and appoint my husband, H. Jay Sexton, Executor
of this,my Last Will and Testament.
A. R�nlacement f�r F.xec��tc,r If my husband predeceases me, fails to qualify or at any
time ceases to act as Executor, I appoint my son, Daniel M. Sexton and my daughter Christine
Sexton Mudge to act in his place as Alternate Co-Executors.
B, p�wers �f F,xecutnr Subject to this Paragraph, my Executor shall have the authority
and be subject to the limitations contained in New Jersey Statutes Annotated 3B:20-1 et. seq.;
3B:14-23 et. seq. and other applicable laws of the State of New Jersey as they may from time to
time be promulgated or amended. I give my Executor full power and authority to sell, either at
public or private sale, any and all real estate whereof I may die seized, and to make good and
sufFcient conveyance thereof, I further authorize my said Executor, in his sole discretion, to
convert any or all of the assets of my estate to cash. However, the investment of such funds shall
be limited to obligations issued by the United States Treasury or any federal agency, or certificates
of deposit, money market accounts or savings accounts in any banking institution insured under
federal laws.
1vINTH: Mi� ellane�us Pmvi�i�ns
A. P��mnt;�n c,f�nrvival If my husband and I die under circumstances which preclude
a determination of which of us died first it is presumed that I survived my husband for all purposes
12
under this Will and with respect to the disposition of non probate assets.
B. BQnd No bond or other security shall be required in any jurisdiction of any fiduciary
named hereunder.
C. Acc�imtino My fiduciaries are not required to prepare an informal accounting but may
do so in their discretion from time to time, or as required by a regulatory authority, unless
otherwise required by law to submit a formal accounting to a Court. However, if a sole corporate
Trustee ceases to serve, an informal accounting sha11 be prepared from the time of the last prior
accounting through the end of the period of service. Trustee shall deliver a copy of such
accounting to each beneficiary of any trust created hereunder. The approval by all of the persons
to whom a copy of such accounting must be delivered shall be final and binding with respect to its
contents on all such beneficiaries or future beneficiaries.
D, Tsa�tv nf Fiduciarv Any fiduciary, in accepting the appointment hereunder agrees

governed by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 and the regulations
issued thereunder.
E. Termin�l�a As used in my Will, the terms referring to my fiduciaries, "beneficiary"

otherwise shall include any child or issue claiming not only by blood but also by adoption if such
adoption occurred before the person reached age twenty one (21)years.
Headings are descriptive in use only and shall not be construed to alter the meaning of any
part of my Will.
