separate and apart. Each shall be free from all control, restraint, interference and authority, direct or
indirect by the other. Each may reside at such place or places as he or she may select. Each may,
for his or her separate use or benefit, conduct, carry on or engage in any business, occupation,
profession or employment which to him or her may seem advisable. Husband and Wife shall not

or dwell by any means or in any manner whatsoever with him or her. Neither party will interfere
with the use, ownership, enjoyment or disposition of any property now owned by or hereafter
acquired by the other.
2. ADVICE OF COUNSEL. Each party acknowledges that he or she has had the
opportunity to receive independent legal advice from counsel of his or her selection. Husband has
secured legal advice from John 1. Connelly, Jr., Esquire, his counsel. Each party fully understands
the facts and his or her legal rights and obligations, and each party acknowledges and accepts that
this Agreement is, in the circumstances, fair and equitable, and that it is being entered into freely
and voluntarily, and that the execution of this Agreement is not the result of any duress or undue
influence, and that it is not the result of any improper or illegal agreement or agreements. In
addition, each party understands the impact of the Pennsylvania Divorce Code, whereby the court
has the right and duty to determine all marital rights of the parties including divorce, alimony,
alimony pendente lite, equitable distribution of all marital property or property owned or possessed
individually by the other, counsel fees and costs of litigation and, fully knowing the same, each
party hereto still desires to execute this Agreement acknowledging that the terms and conditions set
forth herein are fair, just and equitable to each of the parties, and waives his and her respective right
to have the Court of Common Pleas of Cumberland County, or any other court of competent
jurisdiction, make any determination or order affecting the respective parties' rights to alimony,
alimony pendente lite, support and maintenance, equitable distribution, counsel fees and costs of
litigation.
3. DISCLOSURE OF ASSETS. Each of the parties hereto acknowledges that he or
she is aware of his or her right to seek discovery including, but not limited to, written
interrogatories, motions for production of documents, the taking or oral depositions, the filing of
inventories and all other means of discovery pem1itted under the Pennsylvania Divorce Code or the
Pennsylvania Rules of Civil Procedure. Each of the parties further acknowledges that he or she has
had the opportunity to discuss with counsel the concept of marital property under Pennsylvania law

earnings and income of the other assessed or evaluated by the courts of this Commonwealth or any
other court of competent jurisdiction. The parties do hereby acknowledge that there has been full
and fair disclosure to the other of his or her respective income, assets and liabilities, whether such
are held jointly, in the name of one party alone or in the name of one of the parties and another
individual or individuals. Each party agrees that any right to further disclosure, valuation, appraisal
or enumeration or statement thereof in this Agreement is hereby specifically waived, and the parties
do not wish to make or append hereto any further enumeration or statement. Specifically, each
party waives the need for copies of bank statements, insurance policies, retirement plan statements
or any other documentation. Each party warrants that he or she is not aware of any marital asset
which is not identified in this Agreement. The parties hereby acknowledge and agree that the
division of assets as set forth in this Agreement is fair, reasonable and equitable, and is satisfactory
to them. Each of the parties hereto further covenants and agrees for himself and herself and his or
her heirs, executors, administrators or assigns, that he or she will never at any time hereafter sue the
other party or his or her heirs, executors, administrators or assigns in any action of contention,
direct or indirect, and allege therein that there was a denial of any rights to full disclosure, or that
there was any fraud, duress, undue influence or that there was a failure to have available full, proper
and independent representation by legal counsel.
4. MUTUAL CONSENT DIVORCE. It is the intention of the parties, and the
parties agree, that by this Agreement they have resolved all ancillary economic issues related to the
dissolution of their marriage and thus any divorce action with respect to these parties shall be
