I, Marie A. Zierdt, of the Borough of Carlisle, Cumbe�and� �
County, Pennsylvania, declare this to be my Last Wil1"-and � � o
Testament and revoke all Wills and Codicils previously mad� ��
by me.
ITEM I: I direct that all my legally enforceable debts and
funeral expenses, including all expenses of my last illness,
shall be paid from my residuary estate as soon as practicable
after my decease as a part of the expense of the administration
of my estate.
ITEM II: I bequeath any automobiles or motor vehicles I may
own at my death, my personal effects, such household goods if any
as may be my individual property and not the property of my
husband or owned jointly by me with him, and other tangible
personal property of like nature (not including cash or
securities) , together with any existing insurance thereon, to my
husband, David K. Zierdt, providing he survives me by thirty (30)
days. Should my said husband predecease me or die on or before
the thirtieth day following my death, I bequeath such tangible
personal property and insurance thereon to such of my children as
are living on the tY�irty-first day after my death, to be divided
among them with due regard for their personal preferences in as
nearly equal shares as practical. I direct that any of the
foregoing articles not selected by such children shall be sold at
public or private sale by my personal representative(s) , and I
further direct that the net proceeds thereof shall be
administered and distributed as a part of the residue of my
estate.
� �
�"7�1��,.�r (..� _ �`,
��
ITEM III: If my said husband survives me (and for the
purpose of this Item III, I direct that my said husband shall be
presumed to have survived me unless it appears unmistakably that
he predeceased me) , and if the Federal Estate tax falling due
because of my death will be reduced by making this gift for his
benefit, I devise and bequeath to my said husband, absolutely,
the least amount of assets in my estate that qualify for the
marital deduction as will be sufficient to reduce the Federal
Estate tax to the lowest possible figure after taking into
account the unified credit and all other credits and deductions
available to my estate for Federal Estate tax purposes.
Accordingly, I direct:
A. If the marital deduction, or any similar benefit
available under the Federal Estate tax law in effect when I die,
is allowable with respect to any property, including property
held by the entireties, which my said husband has received prior
to my death or at my death will receive otherwise than pursuant
to this Item III, the value of such property shall be taken into
consideration in calculating the size of the gift under this
Item III.
B. No assets nor proceeds of any asset ineligible for
the marital deduction, or any similar benefit, and no assets nor
proceeds of any asset with respect to which any tax credit or
deduction shall be available because it shall be subject to both
Federal Estate and Federal Income taxes (except to the extent
that such allocation is necessary to reduce Federal Estate taxes
in my estate) shall be allocated to the gift under this Item III.
C. Cash, securities and other property, including real
estate and interests therein, may be allocated to the gift under
this Item III.
� ) � r-, ' 7.
��
D. Any property included in my estate at the time of
my death and allocated in kind under this Item III shall be
valued for that purpose at the value thereof as finally
determined for Federal Estate tax purposes; provided further,
that the aggregate fair market value of such property, including
cash, on the date or dates of allocation to the gift under this
Item III, plus the value as finally determined for Federal Estate
tax purposes of all other property qualifying for the marital
deduction, shall amount to no less than the value of the marital
deduction as finally determined for Federal Estate tax purposes.
E. If any provision of my last Will shall result in
depriving my estate of the marital deduction for Federal Estate
tax purposes, such provision is hereby revoked, and my last Will
shall be read as if any portion thereof inconsistent with the
allowance of the marital deduction for Federal Estate tax
purposes is null and void.
ITEM IV: I devise and bequeath the residue of my estate of
every nature and wherever situate to my Trustee hereinafter
named, IN TRUST, for the following uses and purposes and subject
to the following terms, conditions and provisions:
A. My Trustee shall pay all of the income therefrom to
my said husband during his lifetime in such periodic installments
as he and my Trustee shall find convenient, but not less
frequently than quarter-ani:ually.
B. My Trustee shall be fully authorized and shall have
the sole discretion during the lifetime of my said husband to pay
to him or to expend for his benefit so much of the principal of
this Trust as my Trustee shall deem necessary or advisable from
time to time for the support, health and medical care,
maintenance in reasonable comfort and general welfare of my said
husband, taking into consideration all other income and other
resources, including entitlement to Federal and State public
/^� � �\ � P
/ �
/
��
assistance benefits, available to him for such purposes from all
sources known to my Trustee.
C. In addition to the above provisions, my said
husband shall have the power to direct my Trustee to pay to him
or to apply out of the principal of this Trust in each year,
including the year of my death, an amount not in excess of the
greater of Five Thousand ($5, 000. 00) Dollars or five (5�) percent
of the then aggregate value of the principal of this Trust. This
power shall be noncumulative and may be exercised only by an
instrument in writing signed by him and delivered to my Trustee.
D. In addition, my Trustee shall be fully authorized
and shall have the sole discretion during the lifetime of my said
husband and with his written consent, unless he shall be
incapable of giving such consent, to pay to my children, or to
expend directly for their benefit, so much of the principal of
this Trust as my Trustee shall deem necessary or desirable from
time to time for their support, health and medical care,
education, maintenance in reasonable comfort and general welfare,
taking into consideration the size and nature of this Trust and
all other income and other resources, including entitlement to
Federal and State public assistance benefits, available to the
child or children for whom any such payment or expenditure may be
made for such purposes from all sources known to my Trustee. Any
such expenditure for the b��nefit of any of my children shall not
be treated as an advancement and shall not diminish the
proportionate share or shares of this Trust to which such child
or children may eventually become entitled.
E. Upon the death of my said husband or upon my death
if he predeceases me, this Trust shall terminate, and the then
remaining principal and any accrued or undistributed income
^�// C .
� / � �•..

therefrom shall be paid over, conveyed and distributed,
discharged of the trust, in equal shares to my children, provided
that the share of any child who shall not be then living shall be
distributed to his or her then living issue, per stirpes, and in
default of any such then living issue, such share shall be added
to the share or shares for my other children, or their then
living issue, per stirpes.
F. Should any person entitled to a share of my estate
not have attained thp age of twenty-one (21) years at the time of
distribution to him or her, the share of each such person shall
be retained by my Trustee, IN SEPARATE TRUST, to hold, manage,
invest and reinvest the share so retained and the accumulation of
income thereon, and to use and apply the income and principal or
so much thereof as, in the sole discretion of my Trustee, may be
necessary or appropriate for such beneficiary's support, health
and medical care, education (including college education) ,
maintenance in reasonable comfort and general welfare until each
such beneficiary, in turn, attains the age of twenty-one (21)
years, at which time the then remaining balance of the principal
and accumulated income of each such beneficiary's share shall be
paid over, transferred, conveyed and distributed to him or to
her, discharged of the trust. If such beneficiary dies before
attaining the age of twenty-one (21) years, such share shall be
distributed to his or her personal representative(s) or estate,
discharged of the trust.
G. If upon the happening of some event during the
continuation of any of the trusts held hereunder, my Trustee
shall hold some portion of this Trust which is not effectively
disposed of under the foregoing dispositive provisions, then my
Trustee shall distribute such portion, discharged of the trust,
to MMI Prep School, of 154 Centre Street, P.O. Box 89, Freeland,
Pennsylvania 18224.
^ � � �

ITEM V: The following provisions shall apply to the
Residuary Trust created under Item IV hereof and to each share
thereof:
A. In case the income or any discretionary payments of
principal become payable to a minor, or to a person under legal
disability or to a person not adjudicated incompetent, but who,
by reason of illness or mental or physical disability, is in the
opinion of my Trustee unable properly to administer such amounts,
then such amounts shall be paid out by my Trustee in such of the
following ways as my Trustee shall deem best:
(1) Directly to such beneficiary;
(2) To the legally appointed guardian or trustee
of such beneficiary;
(3) To some relative or friend for the support,
health and medical care, education,
maintenance in reasonable comfort and
general welfare of such beneficiary; or
(4) By my Trustee, using such amounts directly
for such beneficiary's support, health and
medical care, education, maintenance in
in reasonable comfort and general welfare.
B. No beneficial interest under the Residuary Trust,
whether in income or principal, shall be subject to anticipation,
assignment, pledge, sale or transfer in any manner, nor shall any
beneficiary have the power to anticipate, encumber or charge such
interest, nor shall such interest, while in the possession of my
Trustee, be liable for or subject to the debts, contracts,
obligations, liabilities or torts of any beneficiary.
C. Any income, accrued or undistributed at the
termination of any estate or interest, shall be paid by my
Trustee as income to the persons entitled to the next successive
interest in the same proportions in which they take such
interest.
�"l �' _
% ! h.,f �/� �
i,�
D. For convenience of administration and investment,
my Trustee is authorized to hold the several shares of the
Residuary Trust as a common fund, dividing the income
proportionately among them, to assign undivided interests to the
several shares thereof, and to make joint investments of the
funds belonging to my Trustee. For such purposes and insofar as
may be practicable, my Trustee may consolidate the Residuary
Trust, or any separate share thereof, with any other trust or
trusts created by me or any member of my family by will or
agreement, and may hold, administer and invest the several trusts
as one or more common fund or funds and make joint or several
distributions of income and principal therefrom, whichever my
Trustee shall deem advisable.
E. My Trustee shall have the power, but not the duty,
to make such expenditures out of the assets of the Residuary
Trust as it, in its uncontrolled discretion, may consider
desirable in order to facilitate the settlement of my estate;
provided that in no event shall any payment be made for or on
account of any increase in Federal Estate tax resulting from
excess retirement accumulation under Section 4981A(d) of the
Internal Revenue Code. In exercising such power, my Trustee may
pay, in whole or in part, any or all taxes and administration
expenses in connection with the settlement of my estate,
including but not limited to the death taxes on any or all
property included in my gross estate for tax purposes, except as
herein otherwise provided. Any such items may be paid directly
by my Trustee or the funds for their payment may be transferred
by my Trustee to my personal representative(s) ; and neither my
personal representative(s) nor any beneficiary of my estate shall
be required to reimburse my Trustee for any funds so paid or
transferred.
.
t,.
ITEM VI: Al1 Federal, State and other death taxes payable
because of my death with respect to the property forming my gross
estate for tax purposes, whether passing under this Will or
otherwise, including any interest or penalty imposed in
connection with such taxes, but not including any increase in
Federal Estate tax resulting from excess retirement accumulation
under Section 4981A(d) of the Internal Revenue Code, shall be
considered a part of the expense of the administration of my
estate and shall be paid out of the principal of my residuary
estate under Item IV hereof without apportionment or right of
reimbursement; provided that the funding of all or such portion
of the marital deduction gift under Item III hereof as my estate
shall be inadequate to fund may be paid from the assets of my
residuary estate under Item IV hereof without deduction for any
death taxes; and provided further, that any or all taxes and
administration expenses in connection with the settlement of my
estate may be paid from the assets of the Residuary Trust created
under Item IV hereof as provided in Item V(E) hereof. I direct
that any increase in Federal Estate tax resulting from the
application of Section 4981A(d) of the Internal Revenue Code
shall be paid by the recipient(s) of such distribution(s) .
ZTEM VII: All fiduciaries acting under this Will, whether
or not named herein, shall have the following powers in addition
to those vested in them by the common law, by statute or by the
other provisions hereof, all of which shall be exercised in a
fiduciary capacity, primarily in the interests of the
beneficiaries, applicable to all property, including property
held for minors, whether principal or income, exercisable without
court approval and effective until actual distribution of all
property:
�;�1� � � ` �

A. To retain and to hold any securities or other
property, real, personal or mixed, including stock of my Trustee
or an affiliate, received from my estate without regard to any
principle of diversification or risk.
B. To invest and reinvest in all forms of property,
including stocks, bonds, funds and other securities, whether
operated by my Trustee, an affiliate or others, without
restriction to investments authorized for Pennsylvania
fiduciaries, as they shall deem proper without regard to any
principle of diversification or risk.
C. To sell at public or private sale, to exchange, or
to lease for any period of time any real or personal property,
and to give options for sales, exchanges or leases for such
prices and upon such terms and conditions as they shall deem
proper.
D. To hold property in the name of the Residuary Trust
created hereunder, or in the name of my Trustee without
designation of any fiduciary capacity, or in the name of a
nominee, or unregistered.
E. To allocate receipts and expenses to principal or
income, or partly to each, as they from time to time, in their
sole discretion, shall think proper.
F. To vote in person or by proxy all securities, and
to become a party to any stockholders' agreements deemed
advisable by them in connection with such securities.
G. To borrow money from any person or institution,
including my Trustee or an affiliate, upon their bond or
promissory note, and to secure the repayment thereof by
mortgaging, creating a security interest in, pledging or
