I .j A DIVORCE SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT II THIS AGREEMENT is made this a? 1" day of 2000, by and between JOHN F. BARDOL, hereinafter called "Husband", and ANNE T. BARDOL, hereinafter called ItWife". W I T N E S S E T H: . WHEREAS, Husband and Wife were married on July 18, 1981; and WHEREAS, two (2) children were born of this marriage: LAURA ANNE BARDOL, born January 16, 1985; and AMY KATHRYN BARDOL, born May 2, 1987; and WHEREAS, differences have arisen between Husband and Wife as a consequence of which they have been living separate and apart from each other; and WHEREAS, Husband has commenced an action in divorce in the Court of Common Pleas of Cumberland County, Pennsylvania docketed to No. 99-4966 Civil ("Divorce Action") ; and WHEREAS, Husband and wife have reached an understanding to settle and determine all of their claims, disputes, rights and obligations, including all which have been or which could have been raised in the Divorce Action or which have been or could have been raised in any other proceeding arising out of or by virtue of the marital relationship; NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing recitals and intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties hereto agree as follows: A. . a 1. Separation. It shall be lawful for each party at all times hereafter to live separate and apart from each other at such place as he or she from time to time shall choose or deem fit. The foregoing provision shall not be taken as an admission on the part of either party of the lawfulness or unlawfulness of the causes leading to their living apart. 2. Interference. Each party shall be free from the interference, authority and control by the other, as fully as if he or she were single and unmarried, except as may be necessary to carry out the provisions of this Agreement. Neither party shall molest or attempt or endeavor to molest the other, nor in any way to harass or malign the other, nor in any other way interfere with the peaceful existence, separate and apart, of the other. Each of the parties hereto understands and agrees that neither shall do or say anything to the children of the parties at any time which might in any way influence the children adversely against the other party. 3. Marital Real Estate. Simultaneously with the execution hereof, Husband shall quitclaim, set over and assign to Wife by quitclaim deed all of his right, title and interest in and to the real property, together with all improvements erected thereon and known and numbered as 532 Ichabod Court, Mechanicsburg, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania. Wife shall hereafter be and remain solely and exclusively responsible for the payment of all costs and expenses of maintenance, repair and occupancy of such residence, 2 A. I d for the payment of all real estate taxes, insurance and other charges related thereto and for the payment of all mortgage payments or indebtedness secured by a lien upon the said real property. Wife hereby agrees to, does and shall hereafter indemnify and save Husband harmless of and from any and all claims, demands, suits, actions or causes of action arising from or out of, directly or indirectly, Wife's failure to pay each and every payment when and as due or Wife's failure to perform each and every obligation of the mortgagor under any mortgage loan for which Husband has been or may be jointly and/or severally liable to any third party with Wife secured by a lien of the said real property. Such indemnification shall include repayment or reimbursement to Husband of any and all reasonable costs of defense of any such claims which may be brought against Husband by any such third party or person, including Husband's reasonable attorneys' fees. Wife hereby covenants, agrees and promises to obtain a refinancing of all mortgage loan indebtedness currently secured by a mortgage on the marital residence, which loan or other obligation was created prior to the date hereof, or to obtain a release of Husband from any and all personal liability on any such mortgage loan or obligation and to conclude such refinancing and/or obtain a personal release of Husband on or before the date three (3) years from the date hereof. The parties acknowledge that the provisions of 23 Pa.C.S.A. Section 3502(e) apply to this Agreement and the remedies set forth therein shall be available in the event Wife 3 A e fails to meet the obligations set forth herein. Specifically, Wife's failure to conclude such refinancing or obtain such release of personal liability shall be deemed to be a breach of this Agreement for which Wife acknowledges Husband may have no adequate remedy at law and, therefore, Wife agrees that Husband shall be entitled, in addition to any other remedies set.forth herein or in the Pennsylvania Divorce Code, to seek an Order of specific performance of this term of the obligation or an Order requiring the said marital residence to be sold and, after paying the costs of such sale and the payoff of any liens and encumbrances, the net remaining proceeds of such sale to be distributed to Wife. 4. Personal Property. Except as provided in the Paragraph 4, the parties have heretofore divided between themselves to their mutual satisfaction all items of personal property, furniture, fixtures, furnishings and the like which were, during the course of the marriage, used by them in common. The property described on Exhibit "A" attached hereto shall be and become the sole and separate property of Husband. Those items so indicated on the Exhibit "A" shall be removed by Husband as soon as practicable and within thirty (30) days of the date of this Agreement and those not so indicated on the Exhibit "A" to be so removed shall remain in the marital residence until such time as Husband can arrange for removal to a home of his which will accommodate such items. Otherwise, each party waives, relinquishes and releases any claim 4 4 . e of any interest whatsoever in any item of personal property which, as of the date of execution of this Agreement, is in the possession of the other party. 5. Custody. Husband and Wife also acknowledge that they are parties to a custody action docketed in the Court of Common Pleas of Cumberland County to No. 2000-2442 Civil (!'Custody Action"). Husband and Wife agree that, in such action, they are contemporaneously entering into a stipulation for an Order which shall award shared legal custody of the parties' minor children to both Husband and Wife and shall award primary custody of the minor children to wife subject to Husband's rights of temporary custody or visitation as therein specified. Each of the parties acknowledge that either party shall be free to seek a modification of such custodial arrangement by application to a court of competent jurisdiction at the time if either party believes that a modification is necessary for the best interest of the child or children in question. 6. Child Support/Alimony/Alimony Pendente Lite. Husband and Wife have also been parties to an action brought by Wife seeking spousal support/alimony pendente lite and child support, which said action has been docketed in the Court of Common Pleas of Cumberland County at Domestic Relations Section Docket No. 00203-S-2000 (PACSES Case No. 364102082) ("Support Action"). On November 9, 2000, the parties placed on record in front of Judge Edward Guido a stipulation which, inter alia, settled such support matters. 5 r Such agreement, which the parties hereby reaffirm, provides that the original Order as entered at the time of the Domestic Relations Office conference in June of 2000 would remain unmodified except only that such support amount as was ordered at that time would be deemed to be an unallocated Order of support for both Wife and children, it being the express intention of the parties that all such payments made heretofore and as hereinafter provided shall qualify as alimony under the Internal Revenue Code and, thus, be deemed to be tax deductible to Husband and to be includible as part of taxable income of Wife. Effective November 9, 2000, the parties have agreed that the support order shall be amended to require the payment by Husband of the total sum of $3,400.00 per month as a similarly unallocated Order for the same purpose that such payment shall hereafter remain and be deemed to be alimony as such term is defined under the Internal Revenue Code. Wife acknowledges that in the year ending December 31, 2000, Husband has paid to Wife the total sum of $33,710.35, which shall be claimed as alimony received on Wife's 2000 tax return and shall be deducted as alimony paid on Husband's 2000 tax return. Husband's obligation to make the payments of "alimony" as herein provided shall end and terminate upon the death of either Husband or Wife, or upon Wife's remarriage or cohabitation with a male not related to her by blood or marriage. Unless such termination of the alimony payments due to wife 6 s remarriage or cohabitation has occurred, however, the support Order or amount as herein provided and as incorporated in the stipulation in the Support Action shall not otherwise be modified or amended until June 30, 2005; and,if Wife shall nevertheless seek any increase in the amount of child support or otherwise seek a modification of such Order before the alimony obligation terminates as herein provided and before June 30, 2005, Wife agrees to and shall indemnify Husband of and from any and all amounts which Husband may be ordered to pay in the Support Action (or in any other proceeding Wife may commence in any other jurisdiction) which exceed the level of payments as herein provided. 7. Investment Assets. During the course of the marriage, the parties had acquired and maintain today certain investment accounts and other assets. The parties agree to a distribution of those assets as follows: (a) Those certain accounts currently maintained at Charles Schwab & Co., Inc. as trust accounts for the benefit of the parties' minor children, bearing Account Nos. 1344-4599 and 1344-4607, shall be maintained and managed by Husband who shall make no withdrawals from each such account without Wife's prior written consent until each child attains the age of eighteen (18). Husband shall provide periodic statements or reports as to the activity in such accounts approximately every six months. The parties agree that each account shall be 7 a , i made available for the use of each child for whom an account is currently maintained for purposes of post- secondary education expenses. If for any reason the funds are not used for that purpose, the balance of such funds shall be retained for the benefit of the children and shall be used in such manner as may be. agreed to by both Husband and Wife. (b) Wife shall retain as her sole and separate property individual retirement accounts currently maintained in Wife's name along at Charles Schwab & Co., Inc. bearing Account Nos. 1344-4606 and 1344-4608 and Husband hereby waives, relinquishes and releases any right, title, interest or claim he has or may have as to such accounts arising by virtue of the marital relationship or otherwise. (c) Husband shall retain as his sole and separate property individual retirement accounts currently maintained in Husband's name alone at Charles Schwab & Co., Inc. bearing Account Nos. 1344-4604 and 1344-4605; provided, however, that Husband shall, as soon as practicable hereafter, cause a "rollover" from Account No. 1344-4604 to be deposited into Wife's IRA Account No. 1344-4606, in an amount of $125,000.00. Husband shall cause the transfer of not less than $62,500.00 from such accounts within ten (10) days of the date hereof and 8 the balance within one hundred eighty (180) days of the date hereof. Such rollover(s) is/are intended to be accomplished so as to have no tax consequences to either party at the time of the rollover. (d) Husband has paid to Wife, on or about November 9, 2000, a cash distribution of $25,000.00 from a certain Schwab One account heretofore maintained in joint names and bearing Account No. 1344-4602. Contemporaneously with the execution hereof, Husband shall pay to Wife an additional sum of $25,000.00 from such account. Wife hereby waives, relinquishes and releases to Husband any and all other right, title, interest or claim she has, has had or may have had in such Schwab One Account No, 1344-4602 or the assets therein, whether arising by the virtue of the marital relationship or otherwise. It is the intention of the parties that the remaining balance in such Schwab One account shall be and hereafter remains the sole and separate property of Husband, free and clear of any claim of Wife. 9. Insurance Obligation. Husband agrees that, so long as he is obligated to make the payments as provided in Section 6 hereof, Husband shall maintain insurance on his life in a face amount of not less than $200,000.00 and shall cause Wife to be named the beneficiary of the proceeds in an amount not less than $200,000.00. 9 Husband shall provide reasonable proof of the continued maintenance of such insurance and the beneficiary designation thereof to Wife upon Wife's reasonable request which shall not be more frequently than annually hereafter. 10. Legal Representation: Attorneys' Fees. Etc. Husband and Wife acknowledge that Husband has been represented by Bruce F. Bratton, Esquire and Wife has been represented by Kathleen Carey Daley, Esquire; each has had the opportunity to review this document with the attorney of his or her choosing or has waived such right to do so; and each acknowledges that he or she fully understands the legal impact of this Agreement and further intends to be legally bound by the terms of this Agreement. Simultaneously with the execution of this Agreement and the simultaneous execution of all documents, including Affidavits of Consent, Waivers of Notice and other such documents as may be reasonably required to conclude the Divorce Action and to obtain a Decree in Divorce, Husband shall pay to Wife the total sum of $7,500.00 which, together with a $5,000.00 contribution Husband had made to Wife heretofore, shall constitute Husband's sole and exclusive contribution toward Wife's attorneys' fees, costs and expenses. 11. Action in Divorce. The parties shall, simultaneously with the execution of this Agreement, execute any and all documents reasonably requested by Husband's attorney in order to conclude the Divorce Action and to obtain a valid Decree in Divorce therein. Husband's attorney shall forthwith submit such documentation to the 10 Court of Common Pleas of Cumberland County in order to promptly obtain a Decree in Divorce, which said Decree shall incorporate the terms of this Divorce Settlement Agreement which shall not, however, be merged in such Decree. Wife hereby instructs Wife's attorney to execute any and all documents which Wife's attorney may be required to execute and to cause same to be.filed in order to withdraw any and all claims which Wife raised in the Divorce Action in order to permit the entry of a Decree in Divorce and to otherwise cooperate in the prompt conclusion of the Divorce Action and obtaining of a Decree in Divorce. 12. Full Disclosure and Waiver of Rights and Claims. Husband and Wife each represent and warrant to the other that he and she has made a full and complete disclosure to the other of all assets of any nature whatsoever in which such party has an interest, of all liabilities, of the source and amount of the income of such party of every type whatsoever, and of all other facts relating to the subject matter of this Agreement.

Robert Elicker, II, Esquire Divorce Master Office of Divorce Master 9 North Hanover Street Carlisle, PA 17013 RE: Bardol v. Bardol No. 994966 Civil In Divorce Dear Mr. Elicker: I received a Certification request date August 1, 2000, in the above captioned matter. The parties have not been separated two years and my client is not planning on executing a consent to the divorce at the present time. I do not believe there is any other basis for the Plaintiff to proceed with this divorce. Your Certification requires us to provide an outline of the information that is incomplete in order to prepare this case for trial and to indicate whether there are outstanding interrogatories or discovery motions. I do not have any outstanding interrogatories or discovery motions in place at this time, in that at or about the time of separation Mr. Bardol started his own business which he continues to operate. I have representations from counsel that he may be pursuing new employment. Since I don't intend to try the case for quite a while, I think any additional interrogatories or discovery would be premature in that I will want current information at the time of trial and we are at least a year from that date. If further information is required, please contact me. truly yours, Carey Daley ? \ rp KCD:ksm cc: Anne T. Bardol Thomas J.
