THIS AGREEMENT made this ~ day of mFYn/&f12.. , 2005, by and
between ELAINE WHITE, (hereinafter referred to as "Wife"), and JAMES P. WHITE
(hereinafter referred to as "Husband"),
WITNESSETH:
WHEREAS, the parties hereto are husband and wife, having been lawfully
married on February 15,1969;
WHEREAS, the parties separated in 2002; and,
WHEREAS, 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 settling of all matters between them relating to the
ownership of real and personal property, and in general, the settling of any and all
claims and possible claims by one against the other or against their respective estates.
AND NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of these premises, and of the mutual
promises, covenants, and undertakings hereinafter set forth, and for other good and
valuable consideration, receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged by
each of the parties hereto, Husband and Wife, each intending to be legally bound
hereby, covenant and agree as follows:
1. ADVICE OF COUNSEL. The provisions of this Agreement and their legal
effect have been fully explained to the parties by their respective counsel, Debra D.
Cantor, Esquire, of McNees Wallace & Nurick LLC for Wife, and Linda Clotfelter, Esquire
for Husband. Each party acknowledges that he or she has received independent legal
advice from counsel of his or her selection, and that each fully understands the facts
and has been fully informed as to 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, after having received
such advice and with such knowledge, and that 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 hereto acknowledges that he
or she has been fully advised by his or her respective attorney of 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 and being fully
advised of his or her rights thereunder, 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 a
divorce, alimony, alimony pendente lite, equitable distribution of all marital property,
counsel fees and costs of litigation.
2. 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 of oral
-2-
depositions, the filing of inventories, and all other means of discovery permitted under
the Pennsylvania Divorce Code or the Pennsylvania Rules of Civil Procedure. Each of
the parties further acknowledges that he or she has discussed with counsel the concept
of marital property under Pennsylvania law and each is aware of his or her right to have
the real and/or personal property, estate and assets, earnings and income of the other
assessed or evaluated by the court of this Commonwealth or any other court of
competent jurisdiction. Husband and Wife represent and warrant that each has
disclosed to the other in full his or her respective assets, liabilities and income and that
this Agreement was negotiated and entered into on the basis of those disclosures. 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, The remedies
available to either party for breach or violation of this provision shall be those remedies
available pursuant to law and equity. Each party retains the right to assert a claim
against the other for failure to fully and fairly disclose his or her income, assets and
liabilities, if it is later determined that there has been a failure to disclose, including but
not limited to a claim of constructive trust.
3. PERSONAL RIGHTS. Husband and Wife may and shall, at all times
hereafter, live separate and apart. Each shall be free from all control, restraint,
interference and authority, direct or indirect, by the other in all respects as fully as if he
or she were unmarried. 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
-3-
advisable. This provision shall not be taken, however, to be an admission on the part of
either Husband or Wife of the lawfulness of the cause which led to, or resulted in, the
continuation of their living apart. Husband and Wife shall not molest, harass, disturb or
malign each other or the respective families of each other, nor compel or attempt to
compel the other to cohabit 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.
4. MUTUAL CONSENT DIVORCE. Husband has filed an action for divorce
in Cumberland County, Pennsylvania filed to No. 03-3563. Said action shall be limited
to divorce and neither party may assert any ancillary economic claims otherwise
authorized by the Divorce Code, which are specifically waived by the terms of this
Agreement. Counsel for each party shall execute a Praecipe withdrawing all such
ancillary claims now pending of record at or prior to the execution of this Agreement.
The parties agree that each shall sign and have duly acknowledged an Affidavit of
Consent to a divorce and a Waiver of Notice upon execution of this agreement. Said
Affidavits and Waivers shall be promptly transmitted to counsel for Husband who will
promptly file a Praecipe to Transmit Record and Vital Statistics form to precipitate the
prompt entry of a decree of divorce.
5. EQUITABLE DISTRIBUTION.
5.1. Marital Residence. The parties acknowledge that they are the joint
owners of that certain house and lot and all improvements thereupon situated at 3
Mayfair Court, Camp Hill, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania (the "marital residence").
-4-
The parties agree that the marital residence has a value of $110,000. The marital
residence shall be transferred from the joint ownership of the parties to Wife by a Deed
to be executed contemporaneously with this Agreement. The Deed shall be held in
escrow by Husband's counsel pending refinancing of the mortgage.
Wife shall refinance or otherwise assume the mortgage and home equity
line within six months of the entry of the Qualified Domestic Relations Order. If she is
unable to do so, she will continue to apply thereafter each three months until she is
eligible. If the refinance is not completed within one year of the entry of the Qualified
Domestic Relations Order, Wife shall pay to Husband a monthly fee of $200.00 until the
refinance is completed and Husband is released from liability for the first and second
mortgages on the marital residence.
Any and all homeowners policies, title policies and any other policy of
insurance with respect to the marital residence shall be deemed to be endorsed to
reflect Wife as sole owner thereof. The parties agree that Wife shall be entitled to
receive any payments now or hereafter due under such insurance policies.
Wife shall keep Husband and his assigns, heirs, executors and
administrators indemnified and held harmless from any liability, cost or expense,
including attorney's fees, which may be incurred in connection with the marital
residence.
The marital home is subject to two outstanding mortgages. The first is in the
amount of approximately $54,000 as well as a home equity line with a balance of
approximately $3,600. Wife shall refinance or otherwise assume the mortgage and
-5-
home equity line within six months of the entry of the QDR Order. If she is unable to do
so, she will continue to apply thereafter each three months until she is eligible and as
more specifically described in paragraph 5.1, above.
5.2 Husband shall be entitled to claim, as a tax deduction, all mortgage
payments made by him on the marital home until the entry of the decree. From the
entry of the decree going forward, Wife shall be solely responsible for the payment of
the mortgage and home equity line. Because the home equity line payment must be
paid as an electronic transfer from Husband's separate bank account, until Wife
refinances the mortgages, Husband's payment of the home equity line shall be treated
as a partial payment of alimony to Wife and the actual monthly payment of alimony from
Husband to Wife pursuant to paragraph 6.1 shall have the proper credit applied equal to
the sum paid by Husband on Wife's behalf for the home equity line payment.
5.3. Real Property. Husband is the owner of real property including a
hunting cabin in Meyersdale, Pennsylvania. Wife hereby sets over, transfers and
assigns to Husband all of her right, title, claim and interest in such property and shall

including but not necessarily limited to all furniture, furnishings, rugs, carpets, household
appliances and equipment, clothes, jewelry, personalty and other items of tangible
property of whatever nature currently located in the said residence, as well as other
jewelry and personal property in Husband's possession as of the date of this
Agreement.

status and Husband has elected option 1 for his retirement. Husband has also elected

50% of the PSERS pension, including the refund on contributions (plus interest), her
portion of the monthly benefit and COLA'S.

agrees to distribute to Wife one-half (1/2) of any and all PSERS pension payments he

-7-
the taxes withheld on each payment. For each monthly payment, Wife shall be liable for
$187.22 in taxes which shall be deducted at the time of payment. It is acknowledged by
the parties that Husband paid to Wife, by check number 98 dated August 29, 2005, the
sum of $7,622.75 which is Wife's 50% of the PSERS sums paid to Husband to through
July 30, 2005, minus Wife's 50% of the income taxes withheld. Wife shall be entitled to
any death benefit associated with the portion of the PSERS pension that she is to
receive pursuant to the QDRO for same. The QDRO is attached hereto as Exhibit "A"

into a 401 K. Husband shall prepare, or cause to be prepared, a QDRO transferring
Wife's marital interest, as defined above, into an account in her name. Said QDRO
does not provide for interest on said payment. The parties agree that Wife shall receive
4% interest on the marital share of the account from the date the refund of contributions
was transferred into Husband's 401 (k) to the date Wife's marital portion is transferred
into her individual account. Said payment shall occur directly between Husband and
Wife within 10 days of the transfer into Wife's account. Should there be an
administrative fee for this transfer, the parties shall equally divide such fees. Said
