and entities released hereinafter being referred to individually and collectively as the "Releasees") from
any and all claims, demands, liabilities, actions, causes of action and suits of any kind of nature
whatsoever, including but not limited to claims for contribution or indemnity and to all claims for losses,
damages, injuries and death or property damage, known or unknown, which have resulted or may result
in the future from the accident which occurred on or about the 13th day of December, 1998, at or near
Carlisle. PA, without limiting the foregoing, it is expressly understood that the Releasees are released
from all liability direct, secondary, vicarious or otherwise for the acts or omissions of any and all other
alleged tortfeasors,
INJe further agree that any judgment entered against other alleged tortfeasors in any action instituted to
recover damages arising out of the above described accident, whether the liability of such other
tortfeasors is based upon negligence, strict liability, warranty or otherwise, shall be reduced by the
amount of consideration paid for this Release, or the full proportional amount of the shares of the
Releasees attributed by the Court or jury to the Releasees, whichevel of the amounts is greatest,
whether or not the Releasees was/were in fact a joint tortfeasor(s).
If it should appear or be adjudicated in any suit, action or proceeding, however, that the Releasees and
others caused injuries to me/us by liability producing conduct established on any legal theory, in order to
save the Releasees harmless, INJe, as further consideration for said payment, will satisfy any decree,
judgment, or award in which there is such finding of adjudication involving the Releasees on their behalf
and to the extent of their liability for contribution and/or indemnity. 1M! e reserve all claims against any
and every other person, association or corporation as a result of the occurrence mentioned above.
INJe understand that the Releasees hereby admit no liability of any kind by reason of said accident and
that said payment and settlement in compromise is made to avoid further inconvenience and expense of
litigation,
INJe further warrant hereby that I/We have not received heretofore any considelation whatever for, nor
have I fW e heretofore made any other prior settlement with or given any prior release to any other
alleged tortfeasor as a consequence of the above-described accident and I/We agree to hold harmless
and indemnify the Releasees from any loss, claim or liability for contribution or indemnity by any other
alleged tortfeasor.
This joint tortfeasor Reiease contains the entire agreement between the parties hereto, and the terms of
this Release are contractual and not a mere recital. In making this settlement and in giving this Release,

Re: Estate of Aaron Rhoades

Com't Number: Cumberland Civil 2000-1796
Cumberland Orphans 2199-0166
Dear Mr, McKnight:
The Department ofReveuue has received the Petition for Approval of Settlement Claim to be filed on
behalf of the above-referenced Estate in regard to a wrongful death and survival action. It has been forwarded to
this Bureau for the Commonwealth's approval of the allocation of the proceeds paid to settle the actions.
Pursuant to the Petition, the 22 year old decedent died as a result of a motor vehicle accident. Decedent is
survived by the decedent's parents, John M Rhoades and Donna M Rhoades. Note, John M Rhoades has deceased
since the death of his daughter.
Please be advised that, based upon these facts and for inheritance tax purposes only, this Department has no
objection to the proposed allocation of the gross proceeds of this action, $ 200,000.00 to the wrongful death claim
and $ 40,000.00 to the survival claim. Proceeds of a survival action are an asset included in the decedent's estate
and are subject to the imposition of Pennsylvania inheritance tax. 42 Pa.C.S,A. 98302; 72 P,S. 999106,9107. Costs
and fees must be deducted in the same percentages as the proceeds are allocated. In re Estate of Merrvman,
669 A.2d 1059 (Pa. Cmwlth. 1995).
I trust that this letter is a sufficient representation of the Department's position on this matter. As the
Department has no objections to the Petition, an attorney from the Department of Revenue will not be attending any
hearing regarding it. Please contact me if you or the Court has any questions or requires anything additional from
this Bureau. Finally, the approval of this allocation is limited to this estate and does not reflect the position that the
Department may take in any other proposed distribution of proceeds of a wrongful death / survival action.
