provisions shall not be affected by the entry of such a decree, surviving any such
decree and remaining independent of any such decree. The terms of this Agreement

negotiate directly with Husband and Husband's counsel, notwithstanding the fact that
counsel for Husband has advised her that she has an absolute right to be represented
by counsel. Wife hereby acknowledges that she has done so willingly. Each party
represents that he or she understands that, in the absence of this Agreement and as a
matter of law: (1) as a surviving spouse, he or she might be entitled to a greater share in
the decedent's estate than is provided for in this Agreement; and (2) as a separated
and/or divorced spouse, he or she might be entitled to greater support, maintenance,
alimony pendente lite, counsel fees, costs, alimony, distribution of property, or other
5 of 39
financial benefits arising from the marital relationship than is provided for in this
Agreement.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties shall be bound by the terms of this
Agreement. Each of the parties further acknowledges and agrees that, with such
knowledge, and after having read this Agreement carefully and fully, this Agreement is
fair, reasonable and equitable, that it is being entered into freely, voluntarily, and in
good faith, and that its execution is not the result of any duress, undue influence,
coercion, collusion and/or improper or illegal agreement.
10. FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE
The parties confirm that each has relied on the substantial accuracy of the
financial disclosure of the other as an inducement to the execution of this Agreement,
and each party acknowledges that there has been disclosure of the parties' marital
assets and debts and the parties' respective incomes. The parties agree to, waive any
further disclosure and proceed with a settlement of all financial assets and/or debts.

party a complete inventory or list of all of the property that either or both parties own
at this time or owned as of the date of separation; (2) to have all such property valued
by means of appraisals or otherwise; (3) to compulsory discovery to assist in the
discovery and verification of facts relevant to their respective rights and obligations,
including the right to question the other party under oath; and (4) to have a Court
hold hearings and make decisions on the matters covered by this Agreement, which
Court decision concerning the parties' respective rights and obligations might be
different from the provisions of this Agreement. Given said understanding and
acknowledgment, both parties hereby waive the foregoing procedural rights.
6 of 39
12. BANKRUPTCY
The parties hereby agree that the provisions of this Agreement shall not be
dischargeable in bankruptcy and expressly agree to reaffirm any and all obligations
contained herein. In the event a party files such bankruptcy and pursuant thereto
obtains a discharge of any obligations assumed hereunder, the other party shall have
the right to declare this Agreement to be null and void and to terminate this Agreement
in which event the division of the parties' marital assets and all other rights determined
by this Agreement shall be subject to Court determination the same as if this

SECTION 11

The parties agree that the division of all property and debts set forth in this
Agreement is equitable and in the event an action in divorce has been or is hereafter

assets and debts in any manner not consistent with the terms set forth herein and
further waive and relinquish the right to have the Court equitably divide and distribute
their marital assets and debts. It is further the intent, understanding and agreement
of the parties that this Agreement is a full, final, complete and equitable property

22. DISTRIBUTION OF PROPERTY AND DEBTS
The parties' marital assets and debts shall be divided and distributed as follows:
A. Real Estate
1. 1763 Creekview Drive, New Cumberland. Pennsylvania 17070:
Husband and the parties' adult son ("Son") jointly own real estate,
specifically a house and lot known and numbered as 1763 Creekview
Drive, New Cumberland Pennsylvania 17070. Under the terms of the
Agreement, and as finalized by this divorce, Wife shall have no claim,
rights, interest and/or liability towards or in said real estate. Husband and
said third party shall maintain exclusive right and interest in said property.
2. 263 Fineview Road, Camp Hill, Pennsylvania 17011: Husband
and Wife jointly own real estate, specifically a house and lot known and
numbered as 263 Fineview Road, Camp Hill, Pennsylvania 17011
(hereinafter the "premises", the "residence" or the "marital residence"). As
regards their joint interest therein the parties agree as follows:
a. As of the date of execution of this Agreement, Wife shall
have the rights of sole possession of the marital residence, until
or unless Wife predeceases Husband, Wife chooses to relocate
(in which event, Wife must offer Husband the option of buying out
12 of 39
her portion of the property), or Wife wishes to cohabit with an
unrelated male and/or remarry (in which event, Wife must vacate
the residence and offer Husband the option of buying out her
portion of the property; should Husband opt not to buy out her
portion of the property, the property must be sold according to
Paragraph 22.A.2.r. below.)
b. The property shall remain in the names of both Husband
and Wife, as tenants in common with the right of survivorship,
until such time as Wife is able to buy out Husband's share of the
premises, Wife chooses to relocate and Husband opts to buy out
Wife's share of the premises, either party dies, or the parties
decide to sell the property.
C. In the event that Wife wishes to cohabit with an unrelated
male, or remarry, Wife shall immediately permit Husband to buy
out her share of the premises, and, if Husband is unable or
unwilling, the parties shall sell the premises pursuant to the
provisions of sub-subparagraph r below.
d. The term "buy out", "buying out" and "bought out", for the
purposes of this Paragraph, shall be defined as the practice
where one party pays the other party one-half (Y2) of the "value of
premises", and the deed is transferred into the sole name of the
party buying out the other.
e. The "value of the premises" shall be defined as the
appraised sale price of the premises less any outstanding debt
encumbered against the property, and less any costs that would
be associated with sale, including but not limited to anticipated
broker commissions, notary fees, document and deed
preparation costs, state transfer taxes, resale certification fees
and estimated repair costs. The appraised sale price and
13 of 39
anticipated costs would be determined by an appraisal
conducted on or about the time of the buy out, by an appraiser
chosen by both parties. In the event that the parties are unable
to agree upon an appraiser, the appraiser shall be chosen by
Husband.
f. Beginning on July 1, 2008, an account shall be made and
continue for all of the monies spent by Husband towards the
preservation, repair, improvement and/or maintenance of the
premises, including, but not limited to, payment for capital
improvements Husband chooses to make and the payment of
any and all real estate taxes paid by Husband. In the event that
Wife chooses to buy out Husband's share of the premises, Wife
shall have to reimburse Husband for the total monies spent in
this accounting. In the event that Husband shall buy out Wife's
share of the premises, her share shall be reduced by the total
monies spent by Husband in this accounting. In the event that
Husband and Wife choose to sell the premises, Husband's share
of the profits shall be credited dollar for dollar from the monies
spent per this accounting. [Ex. The parties sell the residence for
$400,000 less $20,000 in all costs. Husband has spent $20,000
in capital improvements and $10,000 in real estate taxes.
Husband would receive $220,000 from the sale. ($380,000 in
profit divided by 2 plus $30,000 in the accounting). Wife would
receive $160,000.] Capital improvements shall include, but shall
not be limited to, improvements such as the replacement of the
roof, replacement of the furnace and/or hot water tank, and
additions and/or modifications to the structure and substance of
the premises.
g. There is presently outstanding against this marital residence
14 of 39
a mortgage through PNC Bank, with an approximate balance of
fifty-six thousand dollars ($56,000) as of the date of execution of
this Agreement. Said mortgage is currently held under the name of
both parties. Commencing on the date of execution, and
understanding that Husband has heretofore made all payments on
said mortgage, Husband hereby agrees to make timely payments
on said mortgage until such time as the mortgage has been paid in
full. Husband's obligation under this subparagraph shall be
deemed satisfied under such circumstances where the house is
sold, in which instance the remaining mortgage balance would be
satisfied through the sale.
h. There is also presently outstanding against the marital
residence an equity line of credit in the amount of approximately
one hundred and forty-five thousand dollars ($145,000). The
parties agree that said debt was incurred in order to purchase the
residence referenced in Paragraph 22.A.1., which Son currently
occupies. Husband and Son will refinance this debt within six (6)
months of the date that the decree of divorce is signed by the
Court, into Husband and Son's name. Under no circumstances will
this debt remain as an encumbrance on the marital residence. Wife
hereby agrees that she will execute any and all documentation
required in order to effectuate this provision.
i. Husband also agrees to pay all taxes on said real estate and
Wife agrees to pay a portion of the taxes to the extent possible,
until Wife has bought out Husband's share of the premises,
Husband has bought out Wife's share of the premises, the
premises have been sold, or the mortgage has been fully satisfied.
After that time, Husband and Wife hereby agree to share equally, to
the extent possible, the payment of any and all real estate taxes
15 of 39
that are levied against the property by reason of federal, state or
local taxes.

Paragraph shall be deemed reduced from $52,800 to $25,300, and
Husband shall have no further obligation to make payments under this
Paragraph.

replaced in order to interpret properly the remaining provisions of the Agreement,
any such invalid provision shall be replaced by a valid provision which fulfills as
closely as possible the intent and purposes of the invalid provision. It is intended by
the parties that no additional rights be conferred on them other than as set forth in
this Agreement by the laws of any jurisdiction whatsoever.
29. SEVERABILITY: If any term, condition, clause or provision of this Agreement
shall be determined or declared to be void or invalid in law or otherwise, then only

all other respects this Agreement shall continue in full force, effect and operation.

IN DIVORCE
STIPULATION AND AGREEMENT
FOR THE ENTRY OF MILITARY COURT ORDER
AND NOW, this 1st day of June, 2010, Donato Mark Dinello, Sr. and Estelle
Marie Dinello, do hereby stipulate and agree that the following shall be ORDERED,
ADJUDGED and DECREED:
1. The parties hereto were husband and wife, and a divorce action has been
completed in this Court at Docket Number 07-6863. This Court has jurisdiction over the
parties in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania by reason of
the residence and domicile of both parties in the territorial jurisdiction of the court, other
than because of military assignment. No party has objected to this Court's jurisdiction.
The parties were married on November 24, 1973, and were divorced by decree
docketed at the above number on ~ lb , 2009.
2. PARTICIPANT NAME -The Participant is Donato Mark Dinello, Sr.,
whose date of birth is November 22, 1950 and whose Social Security Number is 192-
38-2636 (hereinafter referred to as "Participant"). Participant has served in the United
States Army and is a participant in the Military Retirement System, alternately known as
the Armed Forces Retirement System and the US Military Annuitant Plan (hereinafter
referred to as the "Plan") The Defense Finance and Accounting Service is the current
designated agent for the Plan .
3. Participant has performed more than ten (10) years of creditable service in
the U.S. Army during his marriage to the below-named Alternate Payee.
4. The current and last known mailing address of Participant is 6122 Sligo
Mill Road N.E. Washington, DC 20011.
5. ALTERNATE PAYEE -The former spouse of Participant is Estelle Marie
Dinello, whose date of birth is October 22, 1951 and whose Social Security Number is
197-42-1771 (hereinafter referred to as "Altemate Payee"). Altemate Payee has raised
claims for, inter alia, equitable distribution of marital property under applicable state law.
6. The current and last known mailing address of Alternate Payee is 236
Fineview Road, Camp Hill, Pennsylvania 17011
BENEFITS AND BENEFIT ADJUSTMENTS
7. Participant's interest in the Plan is marital property subject to distribution
by this Court, including any Special Separation Benefit (SSB) and any Voluntary
Separation Incentive (VSI) benefits.
8. The monthly benefit to be awarded to the Altemate Payee is 50% of the
Participant's monthly disposable retired pay the Participant would have received had the
Participant retired with a retired pay base of $8,000 and with 20 years of creditable
service. It is understood that, by law of the military, the award to the Alternate Payee
shall not exceed fifty percent (50%) of Participant's actual disposable retired pay.
TIMING OF BENEFITS TO FORMER SPOUSE AND COST OF LIVING ADJUSTMENT
9. The benefit specified in Paragraph 8 shall be payable to Alternate Payee
and shall commence as soon as administratively feasible on or about the date
Participant actually retires or otherwise enters retirement/pension/retired pay status for
whatever reason, subject to any required actuarial adjustments. Alternate Payee shall
share in any scheduled and/or ad hoc increases to pensioners in proportion to the
retired pay awarded to her by this Order, so that Alternate Payee will continue to receive
50% of Participant's retired pay. In the event of the diminution of Participant's
disposable retired pay by reason of his federal employment, if same shall occur, any
amount payable to Alternate Payee under this Order shall be reduced in proportion to
the monies awarded to her by Order.
DISABILITY
10. It is understood that pursuant to applicable law, Alternate Payee may not
receive any portion of Participant's disability pay. In the event that Participants
disposable retired pay is diminished as a result of Participant's receipt of disability pay,
Alternate Payee's percentage of said disposable retired pay shall remain unchanged.
DURATION AND TERMINATION OF BENEFITS TO FORMER SPOUSE
11. Participant has not elected the Survivor Benefit Plan (hereinafter "SBP"),
and no such election shall be made. Alternate Payee is only entitled to the specific
benefits under the Plan as provided for in this Order. All other rights, privileges and
options under the Plan not granted to Alternate Payee are preserved for Participant.
12. The regular monthly payments awarded to Alternate Payee by this Order
cease at the first to die of either party. As Participant has not elected SBP, and shall
not do so per agreement of the parties, Alternate Payee's payments under this Order
shall cease. After benefits commence, if Alternate Payee shall predecease Participant,
then Participant's retired pay shall be restored, for future payments only, to the amount
it would have been as if there were no Alternate Payee.
13. The Plan to which this Order applies is stated in Paragraph 2 above, or
any successor plan thereto. The Plan shall issue individual tax forms to each recipient
for amounts paid to each such person.
14. The parties to this Order shall promptly notify the Plan Administrator of
any change in their addresses from those set forth in this Order.
15. Neither party designates an attorney to act as his or her representative for
receipt of copies of all notices pertaining to this Order. Instead, all notices shall be sent
directly to Participator and Alternate Payee.
16. It is intended that this Order shall qualify under the Uniformed Services
Former Spouse's Protection Act, P.L. 97-252, 10 U.S.C. Sec. 1408. The Court retains
jurisdiction to amend this Order as might be necessary to establish or maintain its
status. Unless ordered by a court of competent jurisdiction, or otherwise addressed
herein, this Order shall not be affected by any change in circumstances of either party,
including but not limited to remarriage, cohabitation, or support concerning a dependant
child. It is hereby cert~ed that this Order has not been amended or suspended.
17. The parties intend and agree that the terms of this Stipulation and
Agreement shall be approved, adopted and entered as a Military Court Order.
WHEREFORE, the parties, intending to be legally bound by the terms of this
Stipulation and Agreement, do hereunto place their hands and seals.
