ITEM 4 for the benefit of My Spouse and my issue (herein

securities owned, issued or underwritten by any
corporate Executor or Trustee or any of their
affiliates.

sufficient deeds or other instruments to the purchaser

nonexempt trust shall be held, administered and invested
as separate trusts, and my Trustee shall maintain
adequate accounting and records for both such trusts.

discretion with respect to the investment and
reinvestment of any or all of the assets held hereunder.
10.
EXCULPATORY CLAUSES.
In the settlement of my
estate:
(a) My Executor shall not be personally liable for
any loss to my estate or to any beneficiary of my estate
resulting from an election made in good faith to claim a
deduction as an income tax deduction or as an estate tax
deduction.
(b) In valuing property in my gross estate for the
purposes of any Death Tax, my Executor shall not be
personally liable for any loss to my estate or to any
Page 9 of 14 Pages
beneficiary of my estate resulting from my Executor's
decision made in good faith to use a particular
valuation date.
11.
TAX CLAUSE.
All inheritance, estate and similar
taxes becoming due by reason of my death, except any taxes
relating to generation skipping transfers imposed under Chapter 13
of Subtitle B of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended ("Death
Taxes"), whether such Death Taxes shall be payable by my estate or
by any recipient of any property, shall be paid by my Executor out
of the property passing under ITEM 2 of this Will as an expense
and cost of administration of my estate; provided, however, that
if any property held in any testamentary or inter vivos trust
created by My Spouse lS includable in my estate for purposes of
any Death Tax, then any Death Tax attributable to the inclusion of
any such property in my estate for the purposes of that Death Tax
shall be paid out of such property or by the recipients of such
property; and, if such Death Taxes are nevertheless paid by my
Executor, I direct my Executor to obtain reimbursement or
contribution for any such taxes paid by my Executor.
Except to
the extent above provided, my Executor shall have no duty or
obligation to obtain reimbursement for any Death Taxes paid by my
Executor, even though paid with respect to proceeds of insurance
or other property not passing under this Will.
Page 10 of 14 Pages
12.
CUSTODIAN OF ESTATES.
If at any time any
individual under the age of twenty-one shall be entitled to
recelve any assets free of trust by reason of my death, whether
payable hereunder, by operation of law, contract or otherwise, I
appoint My Trustee hereinafter named as Custodian for such
individual under the Pennsylvania Uniform Transfers to Minors Act.
13. TRUST TERMINATIONS.
(a) If there should be established by My Spouse,
either by Last Will and Testament or by inter vivos Deed
or Agreement, trusts similar to the trusts herein
established for the benefit of my issue, my Trustee
shall have the right and power to merge trusts herein
established with similar trusts for the same
beneficiaries established by My Spouse and to operate
each of the merged trusts as a single trust.
(b) If, in the opinion of my Trustee, at any time
any trust hereunder is or becomes too small to justify
its maintenance as a separate trust, my Trustee, in my
Trustee's sole discretion and without the necessity of
court approval, shall terminate such trust by
distributing all the income and principal of the trust
to the then income beneficiary of said trust. If any
additions to any such trust are received after its
termination under this ITEM, such trust shall be revived
and this provision shall continue to apply to it.
14.
EXECUTOR POWERS REGARDING BASIS ADJUSTMENT.
I
hereby authorize my Executor in my Executor's sole and absolute
discretion to allocate any adjustments to the income tax basis of
assets of my estate to such assets as my Executor deems to be
appropriate.
I recognize that this power gives my Executor broad
latitude which I wish my Executor to exercise while taking into
Page 11 of 14 Pages
account such factors as my Executor deems beneficial to all of the
beneficiaries of my estate.
My Executor shall not be liable for
any loss to my estate or to any beneficiary of my estate resulting
from such allocation made in good faith.
15.
EXECUTOR APPOINTMENT.
I hereby appoint My Spouse,
CAROLYN L. KUNKEL, as Executrix of this Will.
If for any reason
I~y Spouse should fail or cease to act, I appoint my son, PAUL A.
KUNKEL, and my daughter, DEBORAH K. FACINI, as Co-Executors. If
either of my said children should fail or cease to act, I name
JOHN C. KUNKEL, as Co-Executor in his or her place. All
references in this Will to my "Executor" shall refer to my
originally named Executrix, or to my successor Co-Executors, as
the case may be.
16.
TRUSTEE APPOINTMENT.
I hereby appoint My Spouse,
CAROLYN L. KUNKEL, and PAUL A. KUNKEL, as Co-Trustees of any trust
created hereunder.
If either My Spouse or my son should fail or
cease to act, I appoint my daughter, DEBORAH K. FACINI, as Co-
Trustee in his or her place, and if either of them should fail or
cease to act, I appoint my son, JOHN C. KUNKEL.
So long as a
Trustee or the issue of such Trustee is a beneficiary of any trust
hereunder, such Trustee shall not (i) participate in any
discretionary determination of the Trustee to distribute principal
or income of such trust to or for the benefit of such beneficiary
