property. The division of property under this Agreement shall be in full satisfaction of all
marital rights of the parties.

claim or interest of Husband, all of the personalty and furnishings remaining in the home

opportunity to retain a few selected items from these locations.

between themselves, to their mutual satisfaction, all items of tangible and intangible
marital property. Neither party shall make any claim to any such items of marital property,
or of the separate personal property of either party, which are now in the possession
and/or under the control of the other. Should it become necessary, the parties each
agree to sign, upon request, any titles or documents necessary to give effect to this
paragraph. Property shall be deemed to be in the possession or under the control of
either party if, in the case of tangible personal property, the item is physically in the
possession or control of the party at the time of the signing of this Agreement and, in the
case of intangible personal property, if any physical or written evidence of ownership,
such as passbook, checkbook, policy or certificate of insurance or other similar writing is
in the possession or control of the party. Except as may be otherwise provided herein,
Husband and Wife shall each be deemed to be in the possession and control of his or her
own individual pension or other employee benefit plans or retirement benefits of any
-4-
.
nature with the exception of Social Security benefits to which either party may have a
vested or contingent right or interest at the time of the signing of this Agreement, and
neither will make any claim against the other for any interest in such benefits.

parties shall have complete freedom of disposition as to his/her separate property and
any property which is in their possession or control pursuant to this Agreement and may
mortgage, sell, grant, convey, or otherwise encumber or dispose of such property,
