LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT
I, M. EUGENE MILLER, JR., of the Township of North Middleton, County of
Cumberland, Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, being of sound and disposing mind,
memory and understanding, do make, publish and declare this as and for my Last Will
and Testament, hereby revoking and making void all former wills and codicils by me at
anytime heretofore made.
FIRST. I order and direct that all my just debts and funeral expenses be paid by
my personal representative or representatives, hereinafter named, as soon as conveniently
may be done after my decease.
SECOND. If my wife, KATHRYN N. MILLER, should fail to survive me, I
authorize my personal representative or representatives hereinafter named to distribute, in
accordance with his or her discretion, items of tangible personal property from my Estate
in accordance with any of my wishes expressed in writing. Such tangible personal
property shall be restricted to common personal possessions and shall not include cash,
bank books, stock certificates, bonds or the like unless otherwise expressly stated in my
said written wishes. In the event of any conflict between my said written wishes and this
my Last Will and Testament, this shall control. In the event of any cash bequests in my
said wishes expressed in writing, I hereby authorize my personal representative or
representatives hereinafter named to distribute the bequests to any minor legatees by
WAYNEF. SHADE
Attorney at Law
53 West Pomfret Street
Carlisle, Pennsylvania
17013
making distribution directly to any parent or legal guardian of the minor legatee. In the
event of my failure to leave a list, I order and direct that all of my said tangible personal
property, other than as specifically bequeathed herein, be liquidated and distributed as
part of my residuary Estate. In the event of the failure of any of the legatees, designated
in any of my said written wishes, to survive me, I order and direct that their bequests be
idated and distributed as part of my residuary Estate. In the event of the failure of any
of the legatees to survive me, nothing herein shall be interpreted to prevent my personal
representative or representatives hereinafter named from selling any of the items, which
would have passed to those legatees, to my other legatees at fair market value. In the
event of a dispute as to any aspects of the list, I order and direct that any such disputed
tangible personal property be liquidated and distributed as part of my residuary Estate.
THIRD. In the event that my wife should fail to survive me, I give, devise and
bequeath the residue of my Estate, real, personal and mixed, whatsoever and wheresoever
situate unto such of my issue who shall survive me, in equal shares, by representation and
not per capita.
FOURTH. In the event that my wife should survive me, I give, devise and
bequeath assets from my residuary estate to my wife, valued as of the date allocated or
distributed, selected by the Trustee, equal in value to an amount which, when added to the
final estate tax value of all other property included in any gross estate which passes to my
wife and which qualifies for the federal estate tax marital deduction, will entitle my Estate
to the minimum federal estate tax marital deduction, allowable in determining the federal
WAYNEF. SHADE
Attorney at Law estate tax payable by reason of my death, necessary to reduce my taxable estate to an
53 West Pomfret Street
Carlisle, Pennsylvania
17013
-2-
. .
,
amount on which no federal estate tax is due and the federal unified credit available to my
Estate is fully utilized; provided that the aforesaid devise and bequest to my wife shall be
satisfied only from assets qualifying for the marital deduction.
I give, devise and bequeath the remaining portion of my residuary estate,
ereinafter referred to as the "Residuary Trust", to my wife, in trust, to be held,
administered and distributed by the Trustee, as follows:
A. PAYMENT AND DISTRIBUTION OF RESIDUARY TRUST
Payment of Income and Principal to Wife
(1) The Trustee shall pay to or apply for the benefit of my wife during her lifetime
all of the net income of the Residuary Trust in monthly or in other convenient
installments, but in no event less often than annually. If at anytime in the discretion of the
Trustee my wife should be in need of additional funds for her proper maintenance and
support, and if the trust estate of the Marital Trust, if any, is entirely exhausted, then the
Trustee, in addition to the income payments hereinabove provided, shall in the discretion
of the Trustee pay to or apply for the benefit of my wife such amounts from the principal
of the Residuary Trust, up to the whole thereof, as the Trustee from time to time may
deem advisable.
Division of Trust Estate
(2) On the death of my wife, the Trustee shall divide the trust estate of the
Residuary Trust into as many equal shares as there are children of mine then living and
WAYNEF. SHADE
Attorney at Law

17013
-3-
ri
WAYNEF. SHADE
Attorney at Law

children of mine then deceased but leaving issue then living. Each share shall constitute
and be held, administered and distributed by the Trustee as a separate Trust.
( a) One equal share shall be set aside for the benefit of each
of my children who may then be living and shall constitute the trust
estate of such child's Trust.
(b) One equal share shall be set aside for the benefit of the
issue of each of my deceased children who leave issue then living
and shall constitute the trust estate of the Trust for such issue.
Distribution of Trust Estate
(3) The Trustee shall apply and distribute the net income and principal of each of
the shares of the trust estate, as follows:
(a) Until a beneficiary shall reach the age of twenty-two (22)
years, the Trustee shall pay to or apply for the benefit of the
beneficiary in monthly or other convenient installments so much of
the net income from his or her share of the trust estate, up to the
whole thereof, as the Trustee in its discretion deems advisable for the
beneficiary's proper care, support, maintenance and education. At
the end of each year the Trustee shall accumulate and add to the
principal of each beneficiary's share of the trust estate the balance, if
any, of the said net income.
-4-
WAYNE F. SHADE
Attorney at Law
53 West Pomfret Street
Carlisle, Pennsylvania
17013
(b) If at anytime in the discretion of the Trustee, a beneficiary
shall be in need of funds for his or her proper care, support,
maintenance and education, the Trustee shall in its discretion, in
addition to the payments hereinabove provided, pay to or apply for
the benefit of such beneficiary such amounts from the principal of
his or her share of the trust estate, up to the whole thereof, as the
Trustee may from time to time deem advisable.
(c) When a beneficiary shall attain the age of twenty-two (22)
years, the Trustee shall distribute to such beneficiary all of the
balance of his or her share of the trust estate.
(d) If any beneficiary for whom a share of the trust estate has
been set aside should fail to survive to distribution of the full balance
of his or her trust estate, then on the death of such beneficiary, all of
the balance of such deceased beneficiary's share of the trust estate
shall be added equally to the shares and partial shares set aside for
the benefit of my other children and the issue of any deceased child
of mine. As to distribution to the share of a previously deceased
child, it shall be by representation and not per capita.
-5-
Maximum Duration of Trust
(4) All of the Trusts established herein shall in any event terminate on the
expiration of twenty-one (21) years after the death of the last survivor of all my children
in being at the time of my death.
Definitions
(5) The following terms, as used in this my Last Will and Testament, shall be
defined, as follows:
WAYNE F. SHADE
Attorney at Law
53 West Pomfret Street
Carlisle, Pennsylvania
17013
(a) The term "children" includes adopted children and any
who may hereafter be born.
(b) The term "issue" means lawful blood descendants in the
first, second or any other degree of consanguinity of the ancestor
designated, and includes legally adopted children.
( c) All references to the "Trust" or the "trust estate" unless
otherwise specifically provided herein, refer, in the event of separate
Trusts herein, to each of the separate Trusts herein provided,
respectively, and the trust estate of each Trust.
(d) The term "education" includes both college and post-
graduate study at any accredited institution of the beneficiary's
choice for any period of time that in the judgment of the Trustee is
advantageous to the beneficiary; the Trustee shall provide adequate
-6-
amounts for all related living and travel expenses of the beneficiary
within reasonable limits.
Beneficiaries' Other Means of Support
(6) The Trustee in exercising its discretionary authority with respect to the
payment of income or principal of the trust estate to any beneficiary shall take into
consideration any income or other resources available to such beneficiary from sources
outside of this Trust that may be known to the Trustee. The Trustee may accept as final
and conclusive the written statement of the beneficiary receiving payment as to other
available income or resources. The determination of the Trustee with respect to the
advisability of making payments out of income or principal to any beneficiary shall be
conclusive on all persons interested in the Trust.
Benefits to Guardian and Family
(7) The Trustee is hereby specifically authorized to distribute to any person
nominated in this my Last Will and Testament and serving as Guardian of the person of
any beneficiary of this Trust until the beneficiary shall reach the age of eighteen (18)
years to utilize such funds from this Trust as are reasonably necessary to offset any
economic burdens occasioned to the Guardian by virtue of acting in such capacity. By
way of illustration and not of limitation, I expressly authorize expenditure of funds from
this Trust to expand, enlarge or remodel the existing home of the Guardian or to purchase
a larger home, if reasonably required, in order to permit all of the beneficiaries of this
WAYNEF. SHADE
Attorney at Law Trust while they are under the age of eighteen (18) years to reside with such Guardian in
53 West Pomfret Street
Carlisle, Pennsylvania
17013
-7-
comfort. The reasonableness of the need to enlarge the Guardian's present home or to
purchase a larger one, as the case may be, shall depend in part on the number and ages of
children for whom the Guardian of the person is required to care (including his or her
own children) and the amount of the principal of this Trust. Funds from this Trust may
so be utilized to pay any increases in living expenses occasioned by such Guardianship,
including, but not limited to, increases in homeowners' fire and casualty insurance,
property taxes incurred by remodeling or expansion of said Guardian's home or the
purchase of a new home, utility bills and food bills. It is my intention that the foregoing
powers may be exercised by the said Trustee without prior Court approval and without
further responsibility to the beneficiaries, their parents or to any other person or persons
taking care of the minor beneficiaries.
Incapacity of Beneficiary
(8) If at anytime any beneficiary entitled to receive income or principal from the
trust estate shall be a minor or an incapacitated person or a person whom the Trustee shall
deem unable to handle funds properly or wisely ifpaid directly to the beneficiary, the
Trustee in its discretion may make payments in anyone or more of the following ways:
(a) Directly to the beneficiary;
(b) To the natural guardian or legally appointed guardian of
the person or estate of the beneficiary; or
( c) By making expenditures directly for the care, support,
WAYNEF. SHADE
Attorney at Law
53 West Pomfret Street
Carlisle, Pennsylvania
17013
maintenance or education of the beneficiary.
-8-
The Trustee shall not be required to see to the application of any funds paid or
applied in any of the aforementioned ways and the receipt of the payee shall be full
acquittance to the Trustee. The decision of the Trustee as to which of the aforementioned
thods should be used in making payments shall be conclusive and binding on all
parties concerned.
Undistributed Payments to Succeeding Beneficiary
(9) Upon termination of the right of any beneficiary to receive payments from net
income or principal hereunder, all such payments accrued or undistributed by the Trustee
at the date of such termination shall be distributed to the beneficiary next entitled to the
successive interest by the terms of this my Last Will and Testament.
Conflicting Claims
(10) Whenever there are conflicting claims as to the person entitled to any
payment or distribution from the trust estate, the Trustee may in its discretion withhold
without payment of interest all or any part of any disputed payment or distribution until
the matter has been finally adjudicated by the appropriate court.
Alienation and Attachment of Beneficiary's Interest
(11) No beneficiary or remainderman of any Trust shall have any right or power,
except as otherwise specified, to sell, transfer, assign, pledge, mortgage, alienate or
hypothecate his or her interest in the principal or income of the trust estate in any manner
whatsoever. To the fullest extent of the law, the interest of each and every beneficiary
WAYNE F. SHADE
Attorney at Law and remainderman shall not be subject to the claims of any of his or her creditors or liable
53 West Pomfret Street
Carlisle, Pennsylvania

-9-
o attachment, execution, bankruptcy proceedings or any other legal process. The Trustee
shall pay, disburse and distribute principal and income of the trust estate only in the
, manner provided for in this my Last Will and Testament and not on any attempted
transfer or assignment, whether oral or written, of any beneficiary or remainderman or by
Distribution of Trust Assets by Executor
(12) If on termination of the administration of my probate estate there has been no
distribution in trust to the Trustee and events have occurred which would require the
Trustee under the terms of this my Last Will and Testament to make immediate
distribution of my entire estate, my personal representative shall perform all of the acts
necessary to complete such distribution and for that purpose shall have all the powers
granted herein to the Trustee.
B. GENERAL ADMINISTRATIVE POWERS OF THE TRUSTEE

Testament, the Trustee, in addition to all other powers and discretions granted herein or

allocations.

be deemed to have predeceased my wife, notwithstanding any provision of law to the
contrary, and that the provisions of my Will shall be construed on such presumption. If
any legatee, devisee or beneficiary of any Trust, other than my wife, shall die
