are incurred. Before a party can be expected to contribute to the Educational Costs, the parties will
consult with each other and jointly agree as to the expense to be incurred and the educational
institution to be selected for the Children. Since it is impossible 'to determine at the present time the
parties' respective financial condition or the ability of the Child~ren to perform satisfactorily in said
educational endeavors at the time or times the Educational Costs are to be incurred, the effectuation
of the parties' intent pertaining to the foregoing will be determi[ned from time to time based upon

Settlement Agreement. In the event, for whatever reason, either party fails or refuses to execute such
affidavit upon the other party's timely request, that party shall indemnify, defend and hold the other
harmless from any and all additional expenses, including actual counsel fees, resulting from any
action brought to compel the refusing party to consent. Each party hereby agrees that a legal or

not to file a bankruptcy action prior to the completion of their respective obligations pursuant to this
Agreement. Furthermore, any debt addressed in this Agreement shall not be discharged in a
bankruptcy action filed by or on behalf of one of the parties hereto. Also, if either party files for
bankruptcy, this Agreement shall constitute conclusive evidence of the parties' intent that the
obligations in the nature of maintenance and support are not dischargeable under current bankruptcy
law or under any amendment thereto. Further if either party institutes any action in bankruptcy or
any other bankruptcy proceeding is instituted in which a party's ~5ght to have payments made by the
other becomes a matter for judicial review, the parties agree to consent to any motion filed by the
other with the bankruptcy courts, wherein the party may request that the bankruptcy courts abstain
from deciding the dischargeability of said obligation and arty other obligations to said party
thereunder in order to allow the appropriate Court of Common Pleas to role upon this issue.

Agreement shall be defined as the date upon which it is executed by the parties if they have each
