NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises, set forth herein and for other
good and valuable considerations, Wife and Husband, each intending to be legally bound hereby agree
as follows:
SECTION H
GENERAL PROVISIONS
1. MUTUAL CONSENT DIVORCE
The parties intend to secure a mutual consent, no fault divorce pursuant to the provisions of

merged into any judgment or decree for divorce obtained by either party. This agreement shall

proceedings, whether enforcement is sought in an action on the contract itself or in any enforcement
action filed to the divorce complaint.

upon which it is executed by the parties if they have each executed the Agreement on the same date.

of execution by the party last executing this Agreement.
5. ADVICE OF COUNSEL

Agreement is not the result of any duress or undue influence and that it is not the result of any
collusion or improper or illegal agreement or agreements.
6. TAX PROVISIONS
The parties believe and agree, and have been so advised by their respective attorneys, that the
division of property heretofore made by this Agreement is a non-taxable division of property between
co-owners rather than a taxable sale or exchange of such property. Each party promises not to take
any position with respect to the adjusted basis of the property assigned to him or her or with respect
to any other issue which is inconsistent with the position set forth in the preceding sentence on his
or her federal or state income tax returns.

such tax is made against either of them, each will indemnify and hold harmless the other from and
against any loss or liability for any such tax deficiency or assessment and any interest, penalty and
expense incurred in connection therewith. Such tax, interest, penalty or expense shah be paid solely
and entirely by the individual who is finally determined to be the cause of the misrepresentations or
failures to disclose the nature and extent of his or her separate income on the aforesaid joint returns.

subsequent to execution hereof), nor to defeat the right of either party to receive any legacy, bequest
or residuary portion of the other's estate under his or her will, or to act as personal representative or

support. The alimony allocation shall be totally deductible by Husband and includable as income by

in accordance with Paragraph Five of this Section.
B. Variable Child Support Component. In addition to the fixed montMy
component set forth above, Husband shall pay additional support to Wife, upon his achieving annual
gross income in excess of $200,000.00. This additional child support shall be calculated as follows:
Determine Husband's annual gross income from his employment at
McNees Wallace & Nurick;
B. Subtract from Husband's annual gross income the amount of
$200,000.00;
C. Multiply this sum by forty percent (40%); and
Dividing the resulting sum by 12 to determine the additional montMy
support payment due Wife.
Wife.
In accordance with the above formula, Husband shall furnish a copy of his K-1 to
Twenty-five (25%) percent of the sums due pursuant to the variable rate calculation
shall be deemed alimony and the remainder shall be deemed child :support and shall not be deductible
by Husband or includable as income by Wife for tax purposes.
C. Additional Support Requirements. Under this agreement, Wife agrees to
assume full responsibility for all day care/child care expenses and pre-school tuition expenses for the
children.
11
4. TERMINATION OF APPLICATION OF THE FORMULA
The above contractual formula shall be applicable and in effect until the. parties' youngest
child, Daniel C. Williamson, reaches the age of eighteen (18) and graduates from high school.
Thereafter child support shall cease and Wife's right to alimony shall cease.
5. MODIFICATION OF SUPPORT
The above formula is contractual. It shall be non-modifiable except upon Husband's death
or Wife's death.
