LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT
OF
CLARENCEE.FRAKER
I, CLARENCE E. FRAKER, of 846 Green Spring Road, Newville, North Newton
Township, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania, being of sound and disposing mind, memory and
understanding, do make, publish and declare this to be my Last Will and Testament, hereby revoking
and making void all previous Wills and Codicils heretofore made by me,
1
I order and direct my personal representative hereinafter named to pay all of my just debts,
funeral expenses and expenses involved or connected with the administration of my estate as soon
after my death as is reasonably possible. However, my personal representative need not accelerate
and pay those unmatured obligations which, in his, her or its opinion, it might be proper and more
advantageous to retain or renew and pay as they become due and payable. If! do not own a burial
plot or a grave marker at the time of my death, I authorize my personal representative, in his, her or
its sole discretion, to purchase a burial plot and to erect a suitable grave marker at my grave, and to
expend sums from my estate for this purpose.
2
I direct that the rest, residue and remainder of my estate, together with all insurance proceeds
thereon of whatever nature and wheresoever situate be sold and that the proceeds therefrom be
divided equally among my children, WADE D. FRAKER, of 1128 Green Spring Road, Newville,

Cumberland County, Pennsylvania, and EDWARD D. FRAKER, of 14 Sycamore Drive,
Mifflintown, Juniata County, Pennsylvania, providing that they survive me by sixty (60) days, per
stirpes.
3
I grant my personal representative the following powers in addition to and not in limitation
of such powers as my personal representative shall hold by law:
(a) To retain all property received including the stock of any corporate fiduciary acting
hereunder, provided such property remains productive.
(b) To join in any corporation, partnership, recapitalization, merger, reorganization or
voting trust plan; to delegate authority with respect thereto; to deposit investments
under agreements and pay assessments; and generally to exercise all rights of
investors, including but not limited to, the voting of shares.
(c) To manage, operate, repair, improve, mortgage or lease on any terms any real estate
held or owned by my estate.
(d) To operate any business that I may own at my death.
(e) To invest any funds of my estate in any stocks, bonds, notes or other securities or
property, real or personal, without regard to the principle of diversification or any
other statute or general rule of law in his, her or its absolute discretion, it being my
intention to give my personal representative the broadest investment powers possible,
providing such investments do not unnecessarily prevent the prompt settlement of my
estate.
(f) To sell or otherwise dispose of any property, real or personal, tangible or intangible,
at any time forming a part of my estate in any manner and on such terms and
Page 2 of 6
LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT OF CLARENCE E. FRAKER
conditions as my personal representative shall see fit in his, her, or its absolute
discretion.
(g) To borrow money for the payment of taxes or for any other proper purposes in the
administration of my estate, and to mortgage or pledge estate assets as security.
(h) To compromise claims without court approval including, but not limited to, any
controversies with the United States of America or the Commonwealth of
Pennsylvania concerning estate and inheritance taxes on any interests that may pass
under this my Last Will and Testament.
(i) To distribute in cash or in kind upon any division or distribution of my estate.
(j) To undertake any and all acts deemed necessary and proper by my personal
representative for the proper, advantageous and prompt management of the
settlement of my estate.
(k) In general, to exercise all powers in the management of my estate, which any
individual could exercise in the management of similar property owned in his own
right, upon such terms and conditions as to him, her or it may seem best and to
execute and deliver all instruments and to do all acts which she deems necessary or
proper to carry out the purposes ofthis, my Last Will and Testament.
4
No interest of any beneficiary of my estate, either in income or in principal, shall be subject
to anticipation or pledge, assignment, sale or transfer in any manner, nor shall any beneficiary have
the power in any manner to charge or encumber his interest either in income or principal, nor shall
the interest of any beneficiary be liable or subject in any manner while in the possession of my
personal representative for the liability of such beneficiary.
