LAST WILL AND TEST AMENT
OF
GUY B. MULLEN, JR.
I, Guy B. Mullen, Jr., of 128 Leeds Road, Newville, 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.
First
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.
Second
I order and direct my personal representative to consult with the Trustee or Trustees of
the Mullen Family Trust in order to determine from among the property I have possession of at
the date of my death, which is owned by me, and which I only have the use and enjoyment of for
my lifetime. Only property owned by me shall pass via this, my Last Will and Testament.
Property that is held in the trust shall pass via the terms of the trust.

~

Third
I bequeath all of my personal possessions and vehicles, and any insurance policies
thereon, to my Wife, Nancy E. Mullen, if she survives me by thirty (30) days, otherwise to my
children to be divided equally among them, in cash or in kind, per stirpes as they agree. My
executors shall sell any property as to which there is no such agreement within sixty (60) days
after the admission of my Last Will and Testament to probate and shall add the proceeds to the
residue of my estate.
Fourth
I bequeath the rest and remainder of my estate, together with all insurance proceeds
thereon of whatsoever nature and wheresoever situate to my Wife, Nancy E. Mullen, if she
survives me by thirty (30) days, otherwise to my children to be divided equally among them, in
cash or in kind, per stirpes as they agree. My executors shall sell any property as to which there
is no such agreement within sixty (60) days after the admission of my Last Will and Testament to
probate and shall add the proceeds to the residue of my estate.
Fifth
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
Page 2 of7
~
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)
e)
To operate any business that I may own at my death;
To invest any funds of my estate in stocks, bonds, notes, or other securities or
property, real or personal, without regard to the principle of diversification 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 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,
unless sufficient funds were available in my bank accounts, from cash on my
person or at home, at the time of my death;
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;
Page 3 of7
cP.
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 ofthe
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 he, she, or it deems
necessary or proper to carry out the purposes ofthis, my Last Will and Testament.
Sixth
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.
Seventh
I nominate, constitute, and appoint my Wife, Nancy E. Mullen, and my Son, Gary John
Mullen, as Executors of this, my Last Will and Testament. I direct that my personal
representatives shall not be required to give or post bond for the faithful performance of his, her,
or its duties in this or any other jurisdiction.
