HOCK, currently a resident of and domiciled in LemoYne Borough, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania, do hereby make, publish and declare~his tb be my Last Will and Testament, hereby revoking all Wills and Codicils at any time-' heretofore made by me. -1 t:~'.:J C-J , -, c:) , , - ,", -: ?:s rr::l en ITEM I: Personal Effects. I give and bequeath all of my tangible personal property, exclusive of any such property used in a trade or business, together with all policies of insurance thereon, to my daughter, CYNTHIA A. BLAUCH, or if she does not survive me, to her issue who survive me, per stirpes. If my daughter disclaims any portion of this bequest, the disclaimed portion shall be distributed as part of the bequest to my husband under Item II of this Will. I request that my daughter abide by any memorandum by me directing the disposition of this property or any part thereof. This request is precatory and not mandatory. ITEM II: Specific Bequest. If my husband, GORDON F. HOCK, survives me by one hundred fifty (150) days, I give, devise and bequeath to my husband cash, securities or other property of my estate having a value equal to the amount, if any, that my husband would be entitled to receive if my husband exercised his elective share rights as set forth in Section 2201 et seq. of the Pennsylvania Probate, Estates and Fiduciaries Code; provided, however, the amount of this bequest shall be reduced by the value of all property and interests in property passing to my husband as a result of my death other than pursuant to this bequest. My Executor shall have the sole discretion to select the assets which shall constitute this bequest. This bequest shall be distributed, in trust, to my hereinafter-named Trustee to be administered as provided in the following subparagraphs of this Item. Ifmy husband does not survive me by one hundred fifty (150) days, or in the event my husband (or his legal representative) disclaims any portion of this bequest, the same shall be distributed as part of the residue of my estate. (a) My Trustee may pay to or apply for the benefit of my husband during his lifetime such sums from the net income or principal of this trust as in its discretion shall be necessary or desirable from time to time for his medical care, support, and maintenance in reasonable comfort, or for any other reason my Trustee deems appropriate. Any net income not paid shall be accumulated and added to principal. Upon -1- the death of my husband prior to complete distribution of this trust, the then remaining principal and accrued income shall be distributed pursuant to Item III of this Will as if I had then died. (b) Whenever my Trustee makes a distribution, it may be paid out in such of the following ways as my Trustee deems best: (1) directly to my husband; (2) to my husband's legally appointed guardian or attorney-in-fact; (3) to some relative or friend for the care and support of my husband; (4) or by my Trustee using such amounts directly for my husband's care and support. My Trustee shall have no further responsibility for funds so paid. ITEM III: Residuary Bequest. I give, devise and bequeath all the rest, residue and remainder of my estate to my daughter, CYNTHIA A. BLAUCH, or if she does not survive me, to her issue who survive me, per stirpes. ITEM IV: Executor. I appoint my daughter, CYNTHIA A. BLAUCH, as Executrix of this Will. If she is unable or unwilling to serve or continue to serve, then I appoint my son-in-law, DENNIS D. BLAUCH, as Executor. ITEM V: Trustee. I appoint my daughter, CYNTHIA A. BLAUCH, as Trustee of the trusts created hereunder. If she is unable or unwilling to serve or continue to serve, then I appoint my son-in-law, DENNIS D. BLAUCH, as Trustee. (a) The then acting Trustee shall have the power to appoint at any time and from time to time any person or bank or trust company to act as successor Trustee in the event that the initial Trustees shall be unwilling or unable to serve or continue to serve as a Trustee. (b) Whenever a bank or trust company is serving as Trustee hereunder, the beneficiary of any such trust (or such beneficiary's authorized agent or legal representative) shall have the power to remove such Trustee and replace the same with some other bank or trust company to act as successor Trustee. The successor must be a bank or trust company related or subordinate to any trust beneficiary within the meaning of Section 672( c) of the Internal Revenue Code. The removal shall not be effective until a successor has accepted its appointment. (c) Any successor Trustee shall have the same powers, duties and authorities as though named hereunder as an original Trustee. Any successor Trustee shall be exempt from any liability in any way related to the prior actions or omissions of the Trustees -2- hereunder, and each shall be entitled to accept as conclusive any accounting and statement of assets furnished by any predecessor Trustee. (d) Any removal, resignation, appointment or acceptance of trusteeship shall be made by written instrument duly signed, acknowledged before a notary public and filed with the records of the Trust. Any Trustee may resign at any time without court approval; provided, however, if the resigning Trustee was serving as sole Trustee, such resignation shall not be effective until a successor has accepted an appointment as Trustee. (e) Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, no Trustee may participate in the exercise of any discretion to distribute principal to himself or herself other than for his or her health, education, support or maintenance, nor may any Trustee participate in the exercise of any discretion to distribute or expend principal or income to satisfy any of the trustee's personal legal obligations for support or other purposes. ITEM VI: Fiduciary Powers. All fiduciaries (which term whenever used herein shall include my Executors and Trustee and their successors) serving hereunder shall do so without bond or other security in any jurisdiction. In addition to powers given them by law, all fiduciaries acting under this, my Last Will and Testament, shall have the following powers, applicable to all property held by them, effective without court order and until actual distribution: (a) To retain any or all of the assets of my estate or trust, real or personal, without regard to any principle of diversification or risk; (b) To sell at public or private sale, to exchange, or to lease for any period of time, any real or personal property and to give options for sales, exchanges or leases, for such prices and upon such terms or conditions as they deem proper; (c) To invest in all forms of property (including stock, common trust funds and mortgage investment funds whether maintained by my corporate fiduciary, if any, or others) without restriction to investments authorized for Pennsylvania fiduciaries; (d) To make distribution in cash or in kind, or partly in cash and partly in kind, and in such manner as they may determine, and at valuations finally to be fixed by them; (e) To allocate receipts and expenses to principal or income or partly to each as they from time to time deem proper in their discretion; (t) To engage in litigation and compromise, arbitrate or abandon any claim; (g) To borrow money from any person or institution, and to mortgage or pledge any or all real or personal property as they in their discretion shall choose, without regard for the dispositive provisions of this instrument; (h) To continue and operate any business owned by me at my death for such time as my fiduciary shall deem advisable; -3- (i) Power in my executors to disclaim on my behalf any property or interest in property which would otherwise have passed to me by any means prior to my death. (j) Power in my Trustee to combine assets of two or more trusts (including trusts created by third parties) if the provisions of each are substantially identical, and to administer them as a single trust, if my Trustee reasonably deems it appropriate and the combination is consistent with my intent, and facilitates the trust's administration without defeating or impairing the interests of the beneficiaries. (k) In general, to exercise all of the powers in the management of my estate which any individual could exercise in the management of similar property owned in their own right, upon such terms and conditions as my fiduciaries may see best, and to execute and deliver any and all instruments and to do all acts which my fiduciaries may deem proper or necessary to carry out the purposes of this my Will, without being limited in any way by the specific grants of power made, and without necessity of a court order. ITEM VII: Spendthrift Clause. Except as otherwise provided herein, all payments of principal and income payable, or to become payable, to the beneficiary of any trust created hereunder shall not be subject to anticipation, assignment, pledge, sale or transfer in any manner, nor shall any said beneficiary have the power to anticipate or encumber such interest, nor shall such interest, while in the possession of my Executor or Trustee, be liable for, or subject to, the debts, contracts, obligations, liabilities or torts of the beneficiary. ITEM VIII: Beneficiaries Under 21. If any share of my estate becomes distributable to a beneficiary who has not attained the age of twenty-one (21) years, then the same shall be paid to a custodian for the beneficiary under the Pennsylvania Uniform Transfers to Minors Act. The custodian shall be selected by my Executor, and may be my Executor or the minor's parent. The receipt of the custodian shall be a full discharge of my Executor.
