i
C. Whenever property is to be distributed to the descendants of a person(the"ancestor"),
such property shall be divided into equal shares,one share for each then living descendant in the first
generation below the ancestor in which at least one descendant is living, and one share for each
deceased descendant in such generation who has a descendant then living. Each share created for a
living descendant shall be distributed to such descendant. Each share created for a deceased
descendant shall be divided and distributed according to the directions in the two preceding
sentences until no property remains undistributed.
D. A person who Chas a relationship by or through legal adoption shall take under this will
as if the person had the relationship by or through birth,except that a person adopted after reaching
age twenty-one and descendants of such a person shall not so take.
E. Any beneficiary or the legal representative of any deceased beneficiary shall have thn
right, within the time prescribed by law, to disclaim any benefit or power under my will and the
interest so'disclaimed shall be distributed as if such beneficiary predeceased me.
F. Gifts of specific items of property mentioned in this will or any separate writing that
is binding upon my Executor shall fail to the extent that I, or any duly authorized agent of mine,
dispose of such property prior to my death.My Executor shall not substitute cash or any other assets
for any such property.
ARTICLE II. PAYMENT OF EXPENSES AND OTHER CHARGES
I desire a traditional Christian burial. I direct my funeral expenses, including any and all
costs associated therewith, to be paid from my estate. The estate, inheritance and similar taxes
assessable on my death(including taxes on assets not passing under this will) shall also be paid as
a cost of administering my estate and my Executor shall not request any beneficiary to pay any part
of such tax.

Matters of Interpretation.For simplicity,I have expressed pronouns and other terms in one
number and gender,but where appropriate to the context these terms shall be deemed to include the
other number and genders.The bold headings are for convenience and shall not affect interpretation.
ARTICLE IV. APPOINTMENT OF FIDUCIARIES AND POWERS
A. I name Mark A.Mateya,Esquire, presently of Boiling Springs,Cumberland County,
Pennsylvania to be my Executor. If administration of my estate or trust should be necessary in any
jurisdiction where my Executor is unable to qualify, or if my Executor deems it necessary for any
other reason,I give to my Executor the power to designate any individual or corporation with trust
powers to serve with my Executor or in my Executor's stead. I request that no security be required
of any Executor, including an Executor named pursuant to the preceding sentence. References in
my will to my `Executor" are to the one or ones acting at the time, except where otherwise
specifically provided.
S
B. Any corporate Executor or Trustee shall receive for its services the compensation for
which it is willing to undertake similar services for others at the time such services are rendered,as
evidenced by its published fee schedule in effect from time to time,unless it is willing to agree upon
a fee that is less than its customary fee. Any individual who serves as Executor or Trustee shall be
entitled to receive reasonable compensation for his or her services and, whether or not such
individual receives compensation, shall be entitled to be reimbursed for expenses incurred for such
services.
C. I grant my Executor the powers set forth in 20 Pa.C.S. §§ 3311-3332 and 20 Pa.C.S.
§§ 7771-7780 respectively. In addition, my Trustee may merge any trust under this will with any
trust having the same trustee and substantially the same dispositive provisions. If at any time after
my death the size of any trust under this will is so small that,in the opinion of my Trustee,the trust
is uneconomical to administer, my Trustee may terminate the trust and distribute the assets to the
person or persons authorized to receive the trust income in such shares as my Trustee may deem
appropriate. No Trustee who is also an income beneficiary of the trust at issue shall exercise any
discretion granted in the preceding sentence. My Executor and my Trustee may distribute tangible
personal property passing to a minor to any adult person with whom the minor resides, and that
person's receipt shall be a sufficient voucher in the accounts of my Executor and my Trustee.
D. I request that my Executor confer with Mark A. Mateya,Esquire, in the handling of
my estate, he being familiar with my affairs.
ARTICLE V. DEFINITIONS
1. The use of the masculine shall include the feminine or neuter and the use of the
singular shall include the plural, and vice versa.
