SALLY ANN BRYAN , r �'' c'
�r, -�-a
I, SALLY ANN BRYAN, domiciled and residing in Westmareland County,
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, declare that this is my Will. I revoke all my other wills and
codicils.
I. IDENTITIES
I am married to Frank S. Bryan(herein "my Husband"). We have three children: Patricia
M. Bryan, David N. Bryan, and Bradley M. Bryan, whom I will refer to together herein as "my
Children."
II. APPOINTMENT OF EXECUTOR
A. I appoint Bradley M. Bryan as the Executor of my Estate. If he is or becomes
unable or unwilling to serve, I appoint Patricia M. Bryan to serve as my successor or alternate
Executor.
B. I d�rect that no Executor appointed in this Article will be required to execute or
file any bond, with or without sufficient surety, in any jurisdiction for the faithful performance of
his or her duties a� fiduciary.
III. PAYMENT OF EXPENSES AND TAXES
A. I direct my Executor to pay the medical, funeral and estate administration
expenses that are payable at or after my death before making a fia�al distribution of my estate.
B. I further direct that the federal and state estate, inY:eritance, transfer or succession
taxes, including any interest or penalties thereon (herein"death taxes"), that are imposed on the
property passing under any Article of this Will shall be paid out of the principal of my Residuary
Estate and charged in the same manner as a general administration expense. However, the death
taxes imposed on any property that passes outside of my Will, whether by beneficiary
designation, right of survivorship, or otherwise, shall not be the liability of my Residuary Estate
but of the transferee thereof. �f for any reason my Executor elects to pay any such death taxes
imposed on non-probate property from the assets of my estate, he or she shall then have the right

, � . i .
to compel contribution from such transferees for their pro rata share of such death taxes,
including the right to offset any such transferee's beneficial interest in my estate (if such
transferee is also a beneficiary hereunder)by the amount of such pro rata share.
IV. GIFT OF TANGIBLE PERSONAL PROPERTY
A. I give to my Husband if he survives me all the household goods and tangible
personal property that I may own at my death, including but not limited to my clothes, silver and
jewelry, furniture, and whatever automobile that I may own at my death, together with any
unused premiums on policies of homeowner's and automobile insurance, and any proceeds of
such policies that are undistributed at the time of my death.
B. If my Husband does not survive me, I give all my remaining tangible personal
property and household goods, as defined in Paragraph A above, to those of my Children who
survive me in such nearly equal shares as they may determine among themselves. In the
composition of such shares my Executor may represent any of my Children who survives me but
is under a legal divability at my death.
V. GIFT OF RESIDUARY ESTATE
A. My"Residuary Estate" is all the property I may own at my death and that remains
after payrnents are made under Article III and distributions are made under Article IV above,
whether such property is real,personal, or mixed, and whenever obtained and wherever situated.
B. I give my Residuary Estate to my Husband if he survives me.
C. If my Husband does not survive me, I direct my Executor to divide my Residuary
Estate into three equal shares and to distribute such shares, subject to Article VII below, as
follows:
1. One share shall be distributed to Patricia M. Bryan, if she survives me, or
to those of her Descendants who survive me if she does not survive me.
2. One share shall be distributed in trust to the Trustee of the Trust for David
N. Bryan created in Article VI below, if my son David survives me, to be held, administered and
distributed for his benefit under the terms of such Article.
3. One share shall be distributed to Bradley M. Bryan, if he survives me, or
to those of his Descendants who survive me if he does not survive me.
D. If any share described in subparagraphs 1 - 3 of Paragraph C above cannot take

effect because non� nf the�er.efici«r��s named or referred to in such subparagraph survives me,
such share will be deemed canceled and of no effect, and I direct that my Residuary Estate shall
be distributed equally in the shares that do take effect above, or all of it under the one
subparagraph that takes effect if only one such subparagraph is effective.
E. If neither my Husband, my Children, nor any Descendant of my Children survives
me, I direct that one-half of my Residuary Estate shall be distributed to those persons who
survive me and who would have taken my estate and in the shares they would have taken it, and
the other one-half shall be distributed to those persons who survive me and who would have
taken my Husband's estate, and in the shares they would have taken it, under the intestate laws of
Pennsylvania in effect at my death.
VI. TRUST FOR DAVID N. BRYAN
A. The Trust created in this Article will be effective if my Husband does not survive
me but my son, David N. Bryan(whom I will refer to herein as the `Beneficiary"), does survives
me. The Trustee appointed in Paragraph G below will take receipt of all the property distributable
to this Trust under Article V above, and any other property that may be payable to this Trust from
any source apart from this Will, including all proceeds of retirement accounts, annuities, or
policies of life insurance of which the Trust has been designated as a beneficiary, and shall hold,
administer, and distribute all such property and the income therefrom as the Trust Property under
the terms of this Article.
B. Durir�g the term of this Trust, the Trustee may distribute to or on behalf of the
Beneficiary such amounts of the net income or principal or both, and at such times, as the Trustee
in his ar her sole discretion determines to be necessary ar advisable to provide for the
Beneficiary's comfort, happiness and welfare, including providing him with such goods and
services that will enrich his life and make it mare enjoyable. In making or withholding
distributions hereunder, I direct the Trustee to take into account all the assets, income, and other
resources that are available to the Beneficiary from time to time from all other sources, including
but not limited to benefits available to him under policies of health or medical insurance, and all
forms of assistance, benefits, income maintenance, or services that he may be eligible to receive
from time to time under any applicable state and/or federal government program. The Trustee
shall be authorized to investigate all potential sources of income, support, maintenance, and other
benefits that may be available to or on behalf of the Beneficiary from all such sources, and may
(but shall not be required to) apply for such benefits on the Beneficiary's behalf. Any net income
of the Trust that is not distributed by the end of the calendar year in which it was received shall
be accumulated and added to principal.
C. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Article to the contrary, in no event
shall any distribution be made fram this Trust for a purpose that would constitute the "health,"
"support," or"maintenance" of the Beneficiary, as such terms are defined under Pennsylvania
law.

D. In exercisiny�he dis�retionary powers conferred on the Trustee in this Article, the
Trustee shall be guided by the fact that the Beneficiary has a condition that will likely impair his
ability to maintain and support himself independently, and which may make him eligible for
public assistance benefits, such as Supplemental Security Income (S.S.I.), Medical Assistance,
Social Security Disability Insurance (S.S.D.I.), and other federal and state programs. As a result,
this Trust shall be administered so that it will only supplement all the public assistance benefits
that may be available to the Beneficiary during his lifetime, as well as any applicable medical or
health insurance covering the Beneficiary. In no event will any of the income or principal of the
Trust Property be used to supplant or have priority of payment over any such public assistance
benefits or private insurance.
E. The Trust created herein will terminate at the Beneficiary's death. The Trustee
shall divide all the Trust Property remaining at such time into two equal shares and shall
distribute such shares, subject to Article VII below, as follows:
1. One share shall be distributed to Patricia M. Bryan, if she survives the
Beneficiary or to those of her Descendants who survive him if she does not survive him.
2. One share shall be distributed to Bradley M. Bryan, if he survives the
Beneficiary, or to those of his Descendants who survive him if he does not survive him.
If either subparagraph l.or 2. above cannot take effect because none of the beneficiaries named
or referred to in such subparagraph survives the Beneficiary, such share will be deemed canceled
and of no effect, and all of the Trust Property shall pass under the subparagraph that does take
effect above. If neither subparagraph 1. or 2. above can take effect because none of the
beneficiaries named or referred to in either such subparagraph survives the Beneficiary, all of the
remaining Trust Property shall then be distributed in accordance with Paragraph E of Article V
above, the terms of which are incorporated herein by reference; provided, however, that for
purposes hereof any condition of survivorship contained in such Paragraph E will be deemed to
refer to the Beneficiar,y's death and not to my death.
F. Notwithstanding any provision of Paragraph E above to the contrary, the Trust
created in this Article will terminate at any time priar to the Beneficiary's death if all three of the
following conditions have occurred, as permitted under 20 Pa. Cons. Stat. § 7740.4 (a): (1) the
Trustee has concluded in good faith that the value of the Trust Property has become insufficient
to justify the cost of continuing the administration of the Trust, (2) the Trustee has given written
notice of the Trust's proposed termination to the Trust's "qualified beneficiaries," as defined in
20 Pa. Cons. Stat. § 7703, at least sixty(60) days before the proposed date of termination, and (3)
no such"qualified beneficiary"has provided the Trustee with a written objection to the proposed
termination by the date specified in the notice. Upon the occurrence of such conditions, the
Trustee shall be authorized to make an immediate distribution of all the Trust Property remaining
at such time to the Beneficiary or to his fiduciary, as provided for in Article IX below, in
complete termination af the Trust. The written receipt and release of the Beneficiary or his

fiduciary will be a sufficient discharge of the Trustee's duty to distribute the Trust Property to the
Beneficiary under this Article, and shall terminate absolutely the rights of all persons who might
otherwise have had a future interest in the Trust, whether vested or contingent, without notice to
them and without the necessity of filing a fiduciary account with any court.
G. I appoint Bradley M. Bryan to serve as the Trustee of the Trust established in this
Article if it becomes effective after my death. If Bradley M. Bryan is initially unable or unwilling
to act as Trustee, or if he later ceases to serve, whether due to death, voluntary resignation, or
becoming incapable of properly exercising the duties of a trustee, as such incapacity shall be
determined by his primary care physician, I appoint Patricia M. Bryan to serve as the alternate or
successor Trustee. The then-serving Trustee will be authorized to appoint one or more additional
individuals or a corparate fiduciary to serve as successor Trustee if both of my children named
herein are or become unable or unwilling to serve, as described above.
H. Notwithstanding any provision in this Will to the contrary, the interests in the
Trust Property of all the beneficiaries named or referred to herein shall be held subject to a
spendthrift trust that restrains both the voluntary or involuntary transfer of their interests in the
Trust. No interest of any such beneficiary shall be subject ar liable in any manner to involuntary
transfer, including but not limited to attachment, garnishment, execution, sequestration, claims
for alimony, maintenance, or support, or other process, nor to any such beneficiary's own
voluntary anticipation, alienation, assignment, conveyance, sale, pledge, or other transfer. The
Trustee is empowered and directed to disregard and defeat any such involuntary or voluntary act
or attempt in any manner provided by law.
L The Trustee will be entitled to reasonable compensation annually, payable from
income, principal, or both, for the services that he or she performs as Trustee. If a corporate
fiduciary is appoir.ted to serve as an alternate or successor Trustee of the Trust, it will be entitled
to receive reasona�ale compensation in accordance with its standard schedule of fees in effect
from time to time, provided that such compensation shall not exceed the amount that would be
awarded the corporate fiduciary by the Court having jurisdiction over the Trust. The Trustee will
also be entitled to be reimbursed from the Trust Property for all expenses that are properly
incurred in the administration of the trust.
J. Upon executing a written acceptance of the office, a successor Trustee will be
authorized to exercise all the powers granted to the Trustee under this Will, without the necessity
of obtaining the appointment by any Court. A successor Trustee may take receipt and control of
the Trust Property in its condition when delivered to him ar her by the prior Trustee, and may
assume for all purposes that the assets so delivered constitute all the assets the successor is
entitled to hold hereunder.
K. The Trustee will not be required to file an accounting of the Trust with any Court.
However, the Trustee is not prohibited from obtaining Court approval of an account for any
purpose, including the discharge of a Trustee at the termination of the Trust or upon a Trustee's
ceasing to serve, and the Trustee or any other party in interest herein may request Court

instructions or submit a dispute to the Court at any time.
L. No Trustee appointed in this Article will be required to execute or file any bond,
with or without sufficient surety, in any jurisdiction for the faithful performance of his or her
duties as fiduciary.
VII. PROVISION FOR MINOR OR INCAPACITATED BENEFICIARIES
A. If at the time for distribution of any property under any Article of this Will there is
a beneficiary entitled to receive such property outright and free of trust but who has not yet
attained age twenty-one (21) or is under a legal disability, or who is, in the opinion of a qualified
physician or psychiatrist, unable to prudently manage his or her financial resources, such property
will vest in such beneficiary,but my Executor or the Trustee, as the case may be, will have the
power to distribute that beneficiary's property to his or her guardian, agent,parent, spouse, or
custodian under the Pennsylvania Uniform Transfers to Minors Act or the Uniform Gifts to
Minors Act or the Uniform Transfers to Minors Act as in effect in the state of such beneficiary's
domicile, or to any other responsible adult with whom the beneficiary resides, or to transfer such
property into trust with such trustee, including my Executor or the Trustee, all as my Executor or
the Trustee in his or her discretion may select. The receipt of such beneficiary's property by his
or her guardian, agent, parent, spouse, custodian, trustee, or the responsible adult will be a
sufficient discharge of my Executor's or the Trustee's duty to distribute such beneficiary's
property.
B. If such property is placed in trust under Paragraph A above, the trustee shall invest
the principal and sshall pay to or for the benefit of the beneficiary so much ar all of the net income
or principal, or both, as the trustee deems necessary or advisable from time to time for the
beneficiary's health, maintenance, complete education, and support. Net income not so paid will
be accumulated. The trust created herein will continue until the beneficiary attains age 21, or the
legal disability is removed, or the beneficiary becomes able to prudently manage his or her
financial resources, whichever event is the last to occur, at which time the remaining trust
property shall be distributed outright to the beneficiary, or if he dies prior to such time, then to
his or her estate.
VIII. ADMINISTRATIVE POWERS OF FIDUCIARIES
A. In the management, care, and disposition of my estate and the trusts created
above, my Executor and the Trustee of any Trust created in this Will (including any alternate or
successor fiduciaries)will have the power to do all things and to execute such instruments as
may be necessary or proper, including the following powers, all of which may be exercised
without order of or report to any court:
1. To take possession of my property or the trust property, to keep it safely,

and to segregate it from other property.
2. To retain or invest during the period of estate or trust administration,
consistent with the principles of diversification, risk, and productivity, the assets of my estate or
a trust in real property and all interests in real property, including residential real estate; in bonds,

and in rights or obligations in property, real or personal, including shares or certificates of
participation issued by regulated investment companies or regulated investment trusts, shares or
units of participation in qualified common trust funds or in qualified pooled funds, or in

United States or a state, without regard as to whether such are legal uses or investments for a
fiduciary as may be defined by law.
3. To vote in person or by proxy any corporate stock or other security held by
my estate or a trust, and to agree to take any other action in regard to any reorganization, merger,
consolidation, liquidation,bankruptcy, or other procedure or proceeding affecting any such stock,

4. To sell and exchange, lease, rent, mortgage, pledge, give options upon, and
partition real and personal property, including undivided interests in real property, at public or
private sale, on whatever terms they find advisable, including the right to lease for any term

option for a period beyond the anticipated duration of my estate or a trust, without notice to or
order of court.
5. To render liquid my estate or a trust, in whole or in part, and to hold cash
or readily marketable securities of little or no yield for whatever period they find advisable.
6. To register any stock, bond, or other security in the name of a nominee,
without the addition of words indicating that such security is held in a fiduciary capacity, but
accurate records will be maintained showing that such security is an estate or a trust asset and my
fiduciaries will be responsible for the acts of such nominee.
7. To prosecute, compromise, or abandon claims held by my estate or a trust,
and to defend, pay, compromise, or abandon claims asserted against my estate or a trust, on
whatever terms my fiduciaries find advisable, without court authority.

B. I direct and authorize my Executor and the Trustee to make all elections available
to my estate or any trust created under this Will for purposes of estate, inheritance, and income
taxes. My fiduciaries will not be required to make adjustments between principal and income or
in the relative interests of the beneficiaries to compensate for the effect of any such election
made.
C. In the distribution of my estate or any trust created in this Will or in any division
into separate shares, my Executor and the Trustee are authorized to make the distribution and
division in money or in kind or in both, regardless of the basis for income tax purposes of any
property distributed or divided in kind, and the distribution and division made and the values
established by my fiduciaries will be binding and conclusive on all persons taking hereunder.
My fiduciaries, in making such distribution or division, may allot undivided interests in the same
property to several trusts or shares.
IX. DEFINITIONS
The following definitions will obtain in any use of the terms in this Will:
A. "Descendants" means the immediate and remote, lawful, lineal descendants of the
person referred to who are in being at the time they must be ascertained in order to give effect to
the reference to them, whether they are born before or after my death or the death of any other
person. Descendants will take by right of representation in accordance with the rule of per
stirpes distribution, and not under the rule of per capita distribution. "Descendants" includes
persons legally adopted by the person referred to.
B. "Survive" means that the person referred to must survive my death or any other
event referred to by thirty(30) days. If the person referred to dies within thirty(30) days of such
event, the reference to him or her will be construed as if he or her had predeceased the event.
C. Wl�erever the context so requires, references in this Will to the masculine,
feminine, or neuter gender, and the singular or plural number, shall each be deemed to include
the others.
