LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT OF
DORA K. KANARR
I, DORA K. KANARR, of Upper Allen Township, Cumberland
County, Pennsylvania, do hereby make this my Last Will and
Testament, revoking any former wills and Codicils made by me.
FIRST:
I give my tangible personal property and all
casualty insurance that I am carrying on said tangible personal
property to such of my children, Charlotte L. James and Richard
W. Kanarr, 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 children and 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.
SECOND:
I give, devise and bequeath all the rest, residue
and remainder of my property of every kind and description
(including lapsed legacies and devises), wherever situate and
whether acquired before or after the execution of this Will, to
Wachovia Bank, National Association, or to its successors in

trust, as Trustee under that certain Trust Agreement, as amended,
between William R. Kanarr and Dora K. Kanarr as Settlors and
Hamilton Bank (corporate predecessor of Wachovia Bank, National
Association, CoreStates Bank, N.A. and First Union National Bank)
as Trustee, which Trust Agreement was originally executed on
October 26, 1990. My Trustee shall add the property bequeathed
and devised by this Article to the principal of the above Trust
and shall hold, administer and distribute the property in
accordance with the provisions of the Trust Agreement, including
any amendments thereto made before my death.
THIRD: In the event for any reason the bequest and devise
above is ineffective and invalid, then I hereby give, devise and
bequeath the rest, residue and remainder of my property of every
kind and description (including lapsed legacies and devises),
wherever situate and whether acquired before or after the
execution of this Will, to Wachovia Bank, National Association,
or to its successors, as Trustee, with the same to be held,
administered and distributed in accordance with the provisions of
that certain Trust Agreement between William R. Kanarr and Dora
K. Kanarr as Settlors and Hamilton Bank dated October 26, 1990,
as amended, which Trust Agreement is hereby fully incorporated
herein by this reference and made a part hereof the same as if
the entire Trust Agreement were set forth herein. If for any
dS)tyl'C1- 10( 1\1 CUt--~,,~
-2-
reason Wachovia Bank, National Association, is unable or
unwilling to serve then I hereby nominate, constitute and appoint
as successor or substitute Trustee a bank or trust company
qualified to do business in the state of my domicile at the time
of my death, which successor or substitute Trustee shall be
designated in a written instrument filed with the court having
jurisdiction over the probate of my estate and signed by or on
behalf of my oldest living child or if he or she fails to act, by
the court having jurisdiction over the probate of my estate.
FOURTH: 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.
FIFTH: I hereby nominate, constitute and appoint as
Executor of this my Last Will and Testament Charlotte L. James
and direct that she shall serve without bond in any jurisdiction
in which called upon to act. If she should fail to qualify as
Executor hereunder, or for any reason should cease to act in such
capacity, the successor or substitute Executor who shall also
serve without bond shall be Richard W. Kanarr. My Executor shall
receive no compensation but shall be entitled to reimbursement
for reasonable expenses.

Whenever the word "Executor" or any modifying or substituted
pronoun therefor is used in this my Will, such words and
respective pronouns shall include both the singular and the
plural, the masculine, feminine and neuter gender thereof, and
shall apply equally to the Executor named herein and to any
successor or substitute Executor acting hereunder, and such
successor or substitute Executor shall possess all the rights,
powers and duties, authority and responsibility conferred upon
the Executor originally named herein.
SIXTH: (1) I give to any Executor named in this Will or
any Codicil hereto or to any successor or substitute Executor all

vania and in particular through the Pennsylvania Probate, Estates
and Fiduciaries Code, as effective and as in effect on the date
of my death, during the administration and until the completion
of the distribution of my estate. I direct that all such powers
shall be construed in the broadest possible manner and shall be
exercisable without court authorization.
(2) My Executor is authorized and empowered to acquire
and to retain, either permanently or for such period of time as
my Executor may determine, any assets, including the capital
stock of any closely held corporation, whether such assets are or
~d- k'f~~.~
-4-
are not of the character approved or authorized by law for
investment by fiduciaries and whether such assets do or do not
represent an overconcentration in one investment.
(3) My Executor is authorized and empowered to dis-
claim any interest, in whole or in part, of which I, or my
Executor, may be the beneficiary, devisee, or legatee, by execut-
ing 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) .
(4) My Executor is authorized and empowered 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 is authorized and empowered 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) i provided that any such loans shall be adequately
secured and at a fair interest rate.
(5) My Executor is authorized and empowered to allo-
cate 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. (insert powers section)

EIGHTH: 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.
