of Cumberland County, Pennsylvania
WHEREAS, diverse unhappy differences, disputes and difficulties have arisen between
the parties and it is the intention of Wife and Husband to live separate and apart for the rest of
their natural lives, and the parties hereto are desirous of settling fully and finally their respective
financial and property rights and obligations as between each other including, without limitation:
the ownership and equitable distribution of marital property; the past, present and future support,
and/or maintenance of Wife by Husband; and, in general, any and all claims and possible claims
by one against the other or against their respective estates.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and of the mutual promises,
covenants and undertakings hereinafter set forth and for other good and valuable consideration,
receipt of which is hereby acknowledged by each of the parties hereto, Wife and Husband, each
intending to be legally bound hereby, covenant and agree as follows:
PERSONAL RIGHTS
Wife and Husband may and shall, at all times hereafter, live separate and apart. They
shall be free from any contact, restraint, interference or authority, direct or indirect, by the other
in all respects as fully as if they were unmarried. Each may, for his or her separate use or
benefit, conduct, carry on and engage in any business, occupation, profession or employment
which to him or her may seem advisable. Wife and Husband shall not molest, harass, disturb or
malign each other or the respective families of each other at all rimes and at all locations,
including but not limited to each party's place of work, nor compel or attempt to compel the
other to cohabit or dwell by any means whatsoever with him or her.
WAIVER OF RIGHTS AND MUTUAL RELEASES
Except as otherwise expressly provided by this Agreement:
(a) Each party hereby absolutely and unconditionally releases and forever discharges the
other and the estate of the other for all purposes from any and all rights and obligations which
either may have or at any time hereafter have for past, present or future support or maintenance,
alimony pendente lite, alimony, equitable distribution, counsel fees, costs, expenses and any
other right or obligation, economic or otherwise, whether arising out of the marital relationship
or otherwise, including all rights and benefits under the Pennsylvania Divorce Code of 1980, its
supplements and amendments, as well as under any other law of any other jurisdiction, except
and only except all rights, agreements and obligations of whatsoever nature arising or which may
arise under this Agreement or for the breach of any provision thereof. Neither party shall have
any obligation to the other not expressly set forth herein.
(b) Each party hereby absolutely and unconditionally releases and forever discharges the
other and his or her heirs, executors, administrators, assigns, property and estate from any and all
rights, claims, demands or obligations arising out of or by virtue of the marital relationship of the
parties or otherwise, whether now existing or hereafter arising. The above release shall be
effective regardless of whether such claims arise out of any former or future acts, contracts,
engagements or liabilities of the other or by way of dower, curtesy, widow's rights, family
exemption or similar allowance, or under the intestate laws, or the right to take against the
spouse's will, or the right to treat a lifetime conveyance by the other as testamentary, or all other
rights of a surviving spouse to participate in a deceased spouse's estate, whether arising under the
laws of Pennsylvania, any state, commonwealth or territory of the United States, or any other
country. It is expressly understood, however, that neither the provisions of this release nor the
subsequent entry of a divorce decree are intended to defeat the right of either party to receive any
insurance proceeds at the death of the other of which she or he is the named beneficiary (whether
the beneficiary designation was made prior or 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 executor if so named by the will of the
other, whether such will was executed prior or subsequent to this Agreement.
2

have, and except for the obligations of the parties contained in this Agreement and such rights as
are expressly reserved herein, each party gives to the other by the execution of this Agreement an
absolute and unconditional release and discharge from all causes of action, claims, rights or
demands whatsoever, in law or in equity, which either party ever had or now has against the
other.

divorce against the other in a court of competent jurisdiction, the provisions of this Agreement
may be incorporated by reference or in substance but shall not be deemed merged into such
judgment or decree. This agreement shall survive any such final judgment or decree of absolute
divorce, shall be entirely independent thereof, and the parties intend that all obligations
contained herein shall retain their contractual nature in any enforcement proceedings, whether
enforcement is sought in an action on the contract itself or in any enforcement action filed to the

parties by their respective counsel, Susan Kay Candiello, Esquire, for Wife. Husband has been
apprised of his need for counsel and has waived his right to counsel. (Please see Waiver of Right

selection and that they have been fully informed as to their legal rights and obligations, including

NO WAIVER OF DEFAULT
This Agreement shall remain in full force and effect unless and until terminated under
and pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. The failure of either party to insist upon strict
performance of any of the provisions of this Agreement shall in no way affect the right of such
party hereafter to enforce the same, nor shall the waiver of any breach of any provision hereof be
construed as a waiver of any subsequent default of the same or similar nature, nor shall the
waiver of any breach of any provision hereof be construed as a waiver of strict performance of
any other obligations herein.
SEVERABI LITY AND INDEPENDENT AND SEPARATE COVENANTS
The parties agree that each separate obligation contained in this Agreement shall be
deemed to be a separate and independent covenant and agreement. If any term, condition, clause
or provision of this Agreement shall be determined or declared to be void or invalid in law or
