STROCK, of Mechanicsburg, Cumberland County, and Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, make this my Last Will and revoke any and all of my prior Wills. ARTICLE I. PAYMENT OF DEBTS AND FLTNERAL EXPENSES. I direct my Executor to pay all my just debts and funeral expenses from my estate. ARTICLE II. TRANSFER OF PERSONAL AND HOUSEHOLD ITEMS. My automobiles, clothing,jewelry, books, pictures, furniture, furnishings, and other personal or household items shall be transferred according to a list which I intend to attach to this Wi1L Mt primary intent in making this list is to provide a list of items which should pass to m;� son, BARRY L. STROCK so that they remain with the farm which he now owns. To the extent that any such items are not included on the list, then such personal and household items shall be paid over and transferred to my other children, ROSALIE A. GREEN, GEORGE N. STROCK, JUDY K. HOCH, and NANCY C. RYDER, according to their own arrangements. If they cannot agree or arrange for a division in a friendly way, then my Executor may distribute or dispose of those items in any way he deems to be fair, including private sales or a public sale. ARTICLE IIL RESIDUE AND REMAINDER. A. All the remainder of the property that I may own or that I may be entitled to dispose of or to appoint at the time of my death shall be divided into five (5) equal shares. I give, devise, bequeath, and appoint (1) equal share to each of my children, ROSALIE A. 1 , " ', , � , , � GREEN, GEORGE N. STROCK, JUDY K. HOCH, BARRY L. STROCK and NANCY C. RYDER. Any reference to my "child" or "children" shall refer to ROSALIE A. GREEN, GEORGE N. STROCK, JUDY K. HOCH, BARRY L. STROCK and NANCY C. RYDER, and any other natural or adopted children of mine who may be born or adopted after the date of this Will. Any reference to the masculine in my Will as it relates to my child or children shall also include the feminine wherever necessary. In the event that any child fails to survive me and leaves issue, then I give, devise, and bequeath that deceased child's share in equal parts to the issue of that deceased child, per stirpes. The share of any such issue under the age of twenty-one (21) years shall be paid over and transferred to a Trustee, IN TRUST, NEVERTHELESS, for such issue and that trust shall be administered as a separate trust for that issue according to the terms of Article III-B below. In the event that any child fails to survive me and leaves no issue, then I give, devise, and bequeath that deceased child's share in equal shares to my other children, per stirpes. B. The share of any issue of a deceased child shall be paid over and transferred to a Trustee, IN TRUST, NEVERTHELESS, for such issue if such issue is under the age of twenty-one (21) years at the time a distribution is to be made to such issue. The share of each such issue under the age of twenty-one (21) years shall be administered as a separate trust for such issue according to the following terms and provisions. The Trustee shall pay over or use, apply, and expend income or principal or both for such issue in such amounts as the Trustee, in his sole discretion, shall deem advisable in order to provide health, support, maintenance, and education far such issue. At the time when such issue attains the age of twenty-one (21) years, that issue shall have the right to withdraw all the accumulated income and the entire remaining principal, and the separate trust for such issue shall then terminate. 2 .� � �� , -► , , Should the principal of any such trust become too small, in the Trustee's sole discretion, so as to make the continuance of the trust inadvisable, the Trustee may terminate the trust and make immediate distribution of the then remaining principal and any accumulated income or undistributed income outright to such issue, and the rights of any other potential beneficiaries of such trust shall automatically cease and determine. The Trustee of each such trust for the issue of a deceased child of mine shall be appointed by the court that has jurisdiction of this type of matter at that time. ARTICLE IV. APPOINTMENT OF EXECUTOR. I appoint my sons, GEORGE N. STROCK and BARRY L. STROCK, to be co-Executors of this my Last WiIL In the event that either of them is unable or unwilling to act or to continue to act in said office, then the other may continue as sole Executor. Any reference to "Executor" in my Will shall be deemed and taken to include each and every person or party named or appointed to serve as the personal representative of my estate, whether there is one or more than one. Also, any reference to the masculine in my Will as it relates to my Executor shall also include the feminine and the neuter wherever necessary. In ARTICLE V. WAIVER OF BOND. To the extent that such requirements can legally be waived, I direct that no Executar named in my Will or an_y persons succeeding in that office, whether in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania or elsewhere, shall ever be required to post any bond or give any security in connection with his duties. ARTICLE VI. EXECUTOR'S POWERS. In addition to powers given him by law and by other provisions of my Will, my Executor shall have the following powers, applicable to all property held by him, and these powers shall be effective without court order and until actual distribution: 3 .. ,� � A. To sell at public or private sale, mortgage, exchange, transfer, or 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 or conditions as he deems proper. No purchaser shall be held liable to see to the application of any purchase money; B. To retain any and all of the assets of my estate, real or personal, in the sole discretion of my Executor, without being restricted to investments authorized for Pennsylvania fiduciaries and without regard to any principle of diversification or risk; C. To delegate discretionary powers to agents, remunerate them, and pay their expenses; D. To collect rents and other proceeds from real estate, paying all carrying charges and making such repairs as he may deem proper, all without the necessity of obtaining leave of any court; E. To carry on any business owned or controlled by me at the time of my death for whatever period of time he shall think proper, with full powers in the property, including the power to borrow and to pledge assets contained in my estate as security for said borrowings; F.

All the foregoing powers, together with those granted by law to executors, may be exercised by the Executor named in my Will and by all persons succeeding in said office, including administrators with Will annexed. 4 ARTICLE VII. APPOINTMENT OF GUARDIANS OF PROPERTY FOR MINORS. I appoint the Executor named in this Will as Guardian of any property which passes under this Will to a minor, if I have not otherwise specifically designated a Guardian. This appointment of a Guardian shall not apply to property distributed to a minor for whom I have already or otherwise made special provisions. This appointment of a Guardian shall not supersede the right of any fiduciary, in its discretion, to distribute estate assets or estate shares where possible to the minor directly or to another for the minor's benefit. Such Guardian shall have the power to use principal as well as income from time to time in the future for the minor's health, maintenance, support, and education, including undergraduate college education and vocational education, or to make payments directly for these purposes, without further responsibility, to the minor or to the minor's parent or to any person taking care of the minor.
