( , 0 &~ Or? \-( LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT OF MARY E. ALLYN I, MARY E. ALLYN, of 495 North 25th Street, Camp Hill, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania, do hereby make this my Last Will and Testament, revoking any former wills and Codicils made by me. FIRST: I am married to Russell E. Allyn, and all references to my husband in this will are to him. I have two children: Susan Jean Ratcliff (born March 2, 1944); and Linda Moore Lowrie (born May 7, 1949). These and any other children born to or adopted by my husband and me are described in this Will as "my children," or as "a child of mine." Any person born to or adopted by a child of mine is described in this Will as "my issue." Provided, however, no adopted person shall benefit hereunder unless the order or decree of adoption is entered before such adopted person attains the age of twenty-one (21) years. SECOND: I give my tangible personal property and all casualty insurance that I am carrying on said tangible personal property to my husband, Russell E. Allyn, or, if he does not survive me, I give said property to such of my children who are living at my death to be divided equitably among or between them as they may determine, or, if they are unable to agree, as my Executor shall determine, after considering the wishes of such children. I have complete confidence that my husband, my ?/Q ? /-) ~1- children or my Executor will honor any written instructions that I may leave with regard to said tangible personal property. Any such property not so distributed shall be sold, and the proceeds added to my residuary estate to pass as hereafter described. THIRD: If my husband, Russell E. Allyn, shall survive me, I bequeath to my Trustee, hereinafter named, IN TRUST NEVERTHELESS, cash, securities or other property in the amount specified below, to be known as the "Bypass Trust." (1) The bequest shall be $600,000, subject however, to Paragraphs (2) and (3) below. (2) The bequest shall increase or decrease, based upon the availability of my federal unified credit for estate and gift taxes and the maximum allowable federal estate tax credit for state death taxes (but only to the extent that the use of such state death tax credit does not increase the death tax payable to any state), whether due to statutory changes, lifetime gifts in excess of the federal unified estate and gift tax exemption- equivalent amounts, or any other transfer which affects the availability of my federal credits aforesaid. (3) The bequest shall decrease, even to zero, if necessary to reduce federal estate tax payable as a result of my death to zero (excluding, however, any federal estate tax due as a result of an excess retirement accumulation under section 4980A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or such similar section as may then be in effect), considering that my intention ~r " !'. /f~ -2- is to fund the Bypass Trust by using my available federal unified credit for estate and gift taxes and my federal estate tax credit for state death taxes and to eliminate federal estate tax on the balance of my federal taxable estate by using the federal estate tax unlimited marital deduction. FOURTH: I give, devise and bequeath the rest, residue and remainder of my estate, real and personal, to my husband. Should he not survive me, I give, devise and bequeath such rest, residue and remainder to my Trustee, hereinafter named, IN TRUST NEVER- THELESS, to be held, administered and distributed for all purposes as part of the Bypass Trust. FIFTH: The Bypass Trust shall be held, administered and distributed as follows: (1) My Trustee shall pay to or apply for the benefit of anyone or more of my said husband, my children and my issue, until division into shares pursuant to Paragraph (5), all of the net income from the Bypass Trust in convenient installments in such shares and proportions as my Trustee in its sole discretion shall determine primarily for the medical care, education, support and maintenance in reasonable comfort of my said husband, children and issue, taking into consideration to the extent my Trustee deems advisable, any other income or resources of my said husband, children and issue known to my Trustee, considering that my husband is the primary object of my bounty. ~z4- -3- (2) Prior to division into shares pursuant to Para- graph (5), my Trustee may pay to or apply for the benefit of any one or more of my said husband, children and issue such sums from the principal of the Bypass Trust in such shares and proportions as in its sole discretion shall be necessary or advisable from time to time for the medical care, education, support and mainte- nance in reasonable comfort of my said husband, children and issue, taking into consideration to the extent my Trustee deems advisable, any other income or resources of my said husband, children and issue known to my Trustee, considering that my husband is the primary object of my bounty. Any payment or application of benefits for a beneficiary pursuant to this Paragraph shall be charged against this Trust as a whole rather than against the ultimate distributive share of such beneficiary to whom or for whose benefit the payment is made. (3) In addition to the income and discretionary payments of principal from this Trust, there shall be paid to my said husband during his lifetime from the principal of this Trust upon his written request during the last month of each fiscal year of the Trust an amount not to exceed during such fiscal year the amount of Five Thousand Dollars ($5,000) or five percent (5%) of the aggregate value of the principal of the Bypass Trust on the last day of such fiscal year without reduction for the principal payment for such fiscal year, whichever is greater. This right of withdrawal is noncumulative, so that if my said ft E/I- ---~- -4- husband does not withdraw, during such fiscal year, the full amount to which he is entitled under this Paragraph, his right to withdraw the amount not withdrawn shall lapse at the end of that fiscal year. (4) My husband shall have a special power to appoint all or any portion of the Bypass Trust during his lifetime by written document, delivered to my Trustee, referring expressly to this Article, or by will, validly executed and attested referring expressly to this Article, among such other person or persons hereinafter named or described absolutely or in trust, as he may indicate. This special power of appointment is exercisable only in favor of a child of mine as described in this will or to the issue of any such child. My aforesaid husband shall have no power to appoint the principal of this fund or income accumulated thereon to himself, to his estate, to his creditors, or to the creditors of his estate. My Trustee may rely upon an attested will probated in any state that otherwise meets the requirements of this Paragraph. (5) In default of the exercise of such power of appointment by my said husband, or insofar as any part of the Bypass Trust shall not be effectively appointed, then upon the death of my said husband, the entire remaining principal of the Bypass Trust, or the part of such trust not effectively appoint- ed, shall be divided into equal separate shares so as to provide one (1) share for each then-living child of mine and one (1) n ~. ~ - -5- share for each deceased child of mine who shall leave issue then living. The share provided for a living child of mine shall be distributed to such child. The share provided for a deceased child of mine who shall leave issue then living shall be distrib- uted per stirpes to such issue, but in default of issue, shall be distributed as follows: (a) Fifty percent (50%) to the husband of my deceased child in the event that he was living with my child at the time of her death and has not remarried; (b) Twenty-five percent (25%) to my surviving child; (c) Twelve and one-half percent (12~%) to Jefferson Medical College, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, without restriction as to use; and (d) Twelve and one-half percent (12~%) to Zion Lutheran Church, Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, without restriction as to use. Should any of the foregoing bequests fail, the effective bequests shall correspondingly increase. SIXTH: If any share hereunder becomes distributable to a beneficiary who has not attained the age of twenty-one (21) years, then such share shall immediately vest in such benefici- ary, but notwithstanding the provisions herein, my Trustee shall retain possession of such share in trust for such beneficiary until such beneficiary attains the age of twenty-one (21) years, jy;, ~, LJ --- -6- using so much of the net income and principal of such share as my Trustee deems necessary to provide for the proper medical care, education, support and maintenance in reasonable comfort of such beneficiary, taking into consideration to the extent my Trustee deems advisable any other income or resources of such beneficiary or his or her parents known to my Trustee. Any income not so paid or applied shall be accumulated and added to principal. Such beneficiary's share shall be paid over and distributed to such beneficiary upon attaining the age of twenty-one (21) years, or if he or she shall sooner die, to his or her executors or administrators. I recommend that my Trustee consider distrib- uting all income from such share to such beneficiary when such beneficiary attains the age of twenty-one (21) years. My Trustee shall have with respect to each share so retained all the powers and discretions had with respect to the trusts created herein generally. SEVENTH: Anything in this Will to the contrary notwith- standing, no trust created herein shall continue beyond twenty-one (21) years after the deaths of one, the last to die of my issue living at the time of my death; and two, all issue, living at the time of my death, of the individual serving as President of the united States at my death and all issue, living at the time of my death, of said individual's five (5) immediate predecessors in said office; upon the expiration of such period, all trusts shall terminate and all the assets thereof shall be jrl, 1:. ~~ -7- distributed to those beneficiaries (and in the same proportions) as are then entitled to receive the income therefrom. EIGHTH: If any beneficiary and I should die under such circumstances as would render it doubtful whether the beneficiary or I died first, then it shall be conclusively presumed for the purposes of this my will that said beneficiary predeceased me. NINTH: (1) I name as my Executor and as my Trustee (the singular gender to include the plural) my son-in-law, J. Kenneth Lowrie, Esquire, Alexandria, Virginia, and my accountant, Crystal Hackett, camp Hill, pennsylvania. If either is unable or unwill- ing to serve, I name my attorney, Heath L. Allen, Esquire, to replace that individual. If he is unable or unwilling to serve, his law firm shall designate an attorney to replace him. If both my son-in-law and my accountant are unable or unwilling to serve, Heath L. Allen and another attorney designated by his firm shall serve. If Heath L. Allen is unable or unwilling to serve, his firm shall designate two (2) attorneys to serve. It is my intention that two individuals serve at all times. I direct that my Executor and my Trustee serve without bond in any jurisdiction in which called upon to act. (2) If, for any reason, the two individuals identified above and their designated successors cease to act in such capacity, the successor or substitute Trustee shall be some bank or trust company with trust powers, which successor or substitute Trustee shall be designated in a written instrument filed with In /? a~ -8- the Court having jurisdiction over the probate of my estate and signed by my husband, or if he fails to act, signed by or on behalf of my daughters, or the survivor of them, or if they or she should fail to act, by the Court having jurisdiction over the Trust. The situs of the Trust may be transferred to the situs of such successor or substitute Trustee by designation in the written instrument aforesaid. (3) For services as Executor and Trustee, my Executor and my Trustee shall receive reasonable compensation. (4) Subject to the provisions of subparagraph (2) above, the situs of all trusts created herein shall be Cumberland County, Pennsylvania. TENTH: (l) I give to any Executor and to any Trustee named in this will or any Codicil hereto or to any successor or substitute Executor or Trustee all of the powers enumerated in this Will and all of the powers applicable by law to fiduciaries in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and in particular through the Pennsylvania Probate, Estates and Fiduciaries Code, as effective and as in effect on the date hereof, during the administration and until the completion of the distribution of my estate, and until the termination of all trusts created in this Will or any Codicil hereto and until the completion of the distribution of the assets of such trusts. I direct that all such powers shall be construed in the broadest possible manner and shall be exer- cisable without court authorization. M~~. ~~ -9- (2) In determining the federal estate and income tax liabilities of my estate, my Executor shall have discretion to select the valuation date and to determine whether any or all of the allowable administration expenses in my estate shall be used as federal estate tax deductions or as federal income tax deduc- tions and shall have the discretion to file a joint income tax return with my husband. (3) If at any time any trust created hereunder (or any share thereof if the trust shall have been divided into shares) shall be of such value that, in the opinion of my Trustee, the administration expense of holding the assets contained therein in trust is not justified, my Trustee, in its absolute discretion, may terminate such trust and distribute the trust property to the person or persons then entitled to receive or have the benefit of the income therefrom or the legal representative of such person. If there is more than one income beneficiary, my Trustee shall make such distribution to such income beneficiaries in the proportion in which they are beneficiaries or if no proportion is designated in equal shares to such beneficiaries. (4) My Executor and Trustee are authorized and empow- ered to acquire and to retain, either permanently or for such period of time as my Executor or Trustee may determine, any assets, including the capital stock of any closely held corporation, whether such assets are or are not of the character approved or authorized by law for investment by fiduciaries and /r). E. A - -10- whether such assets do or do not represent an overconcentration in one investment. (5) My Executor and my Trustee are authorized and empowered to disclaim any interest, in whole or in part, of which I, my Executor, or my Trustee, may be the beneficiary, devisee, or legatee, by executing an appropriate instrument (in accordance with section 2518 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or such similar section as may then be in effect). (6) My Executor and Trustee are authorized and empow- ered to sell at public or private sale, or exchange, and to encumber or lease, for any period of time, any real or personal property and to give options to buy or lease any such property. Additionally, my Executor and Trustee are authorized and em- powered to compromise claims, to borrow from anyone (including a fiduciary hereunder) and to pledge property as security therefor, to make loans to and to buy property from anyone (including a fiduciary or beneficiary hereunder); provided that any such loans shall be adequately secured and at a fair interest rate. (7) My Executor and Trustee are authorized and empow- ered to allocate property, charges on property, receipts and income among and between principal or income, or partly to each, without regard to any law defining principal and income. ELEVENTH: No person who at any time is acting as a co- trustee (if any) hereunder shall have any power or obligation to participate in or to exercise any discretionary authority that I h f?'.4 - -11- have given to my Trustee to pay principal or income to such person, or for his or her benefit or in relief of his or her legal obligations. Such discretionary authority shall be exer- cised solely by the disinterested co-trustee. TWELFTH: No interest of any beneficiary under this Will, any Codicil hereto, or any trust created herein, shall be subject to anticipation or to voluntary or involuntary alienation. THIRTEENTH: All estate, inheritance, succession and other death taxes imposed or payable by reason of my death and interest and penalties thereon with respect to all property comprising my gross estate for death tax purposes, whether or not such property passes under this Will, shall be paid out of the residue of my estate, as if such taxes were expenses of administration, without apportionment or right of reimbursement. I authorize my Executor and Trustee to pay all such taxes at such time or times as deemed advisable.
