PLAINTIFF'S OBJECTION TO DEFENDANT'S FIRST SET OF INTERROGATORIES
AND NOW comes the above-named Plaintiff by her attorney, Samuel L. Andes, and
makes the following objections to Defendant's Interrogatories:
1. Plaintiff objects to all of Defendant's Interrogatories because they violate the
local Rules of the Court of Common Pleas of Cumberland County because they exceed in
number forty (40) Interrogatories, including subparts.
2. Plaintiff objects to Interrogatory 5 because it is over broad and burdensome. It
is not reasonable to have either party review all of the transactions involving personal
property owned by the parties for the entire length of their marriage in the detail
requested in that Interrogatory.
3. Plaintiff objects to Interrogatory 6 because it is burdensome and over broad in
that it requests information about all bank accounts and similar financial assets held by
the Plaintiff at any time during the parties' marriage and further because it will not
produce information which will lead to admissible evidence in this case.
4. Plaintiff objects to Interrogatory 7 for the same reasons set forth in her objection
to Interrogatory 6 and specifically because it would require information about investment
transactions and activity throughout the course of the parties' lengthy marriage and
would not led to the production of information which will help the parties or the court
resolve this matter.
5. Plaintiff objects to Interrogatory 10 for the same reasons she objects to
Interrogatories 6 and 7.
6. Plaintiff objects to Interrogatory 12 for the same reasons as set forth in the
objections to Interrogatories 6 and 7.
7. Plaintiff objects to Interrogatory 15 because it seeks information which is
confidential and private, seeks information which is protected by the attorney-client
privilege and is over broad and burdensome and seeks information which will not led to
the production of information useful to the party or the court in resolving this matter.
8. Plaintiff objects to Interrogatory 17 because it is over broad and burdensome
and seeks information which is not likely to produce evidence which will be admissible in
any proceedings in this matter or which will be helpful to the parties or the court in
resolving this matter.
10. Plaintiff objects to Interrogatory 19 for the reasons set forth in her objections
to Interrogatory 6 and 7.
1 1. Plaintiff objects to Interrogatory 25 because it is over broad and burdensome
in that it will require a listing of thousands of payments made to the business which is
owned by the parties and will not led to the production of any information which will be
useful to the parties, or to the court, in resolving the issues in this case.

Page 1 of 10 uo
NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereto, in consideration of the above recitals, the
mutually made and to be kept promises set forth hereinafter, and for other good and
valuable considerations, and intending to be legally bound and to legally bind their heirs,
successors, assigns, and personal representatives, do hereby covenant, promise, and agree
as follows:
1. YELLOW BREECHES, INC. The parties acknowledge that, during their
marriage, they formed a corporation under the laws of Pennsylvania known as Yellow
Breeches, Inc., in which each of them owned 500 shares of common stock. The parties
further acknowledge and represent that they operated a retail fishing and outdoor supply
business through that corporation for several years, after which Husband left the business
and ended all of his participation in the operation of the business. The parties agree that
Husband shall transfer to Wife all of his stock and other right, title, and interest in and to
that corporation and all of the assets and liabilities of the corporation, effective 1 January
2005, so that the corporation and all of its assets and liabilities shall be the sole and
separate property and responsibility of Wife from that day forward. The parties agree that
they shall make, execute, acknowledge and deliver any and all documents necessary to
complete the transfer of all ownership interests from Husband to Wife, and Wife agrees
that, in consideration of that transfer, she shall be solely responsible for any taxes or other
debts of obligations owed by either of the parties arising out of their ownership of or
operation of the corporation up to the date of this agreement and that she shall further
indemnify and save Husband harmless from any cost, loss, or expense caused to him by
her failure to properly and timely pay and satisfy such obligations.
2. ASSETS TO BE TRANSFERRED TO OR RETAINED BY WIFE. The parties
agree that Wife shall be the sole and separate owner of the following assets, whether those
assets are now held in joint names or the name of either of the parties individually:
A. The former marital residence at 206 Third Street in Boiling Springs,
Pennsylvania; and
B. A vacant lot adjacent to the residence at 206 Third Street in Boiling
Springs, Pennsylvania.
Page 2 of 10
C. A building lot and mobile home situate on High Street in Boiling
Springs, Pennsylvania.
D. A commercial building and real estate at which Yellow Breeches,
Inc., operates its business which is located at 2 First Street in Boiling Springs,
Pennsylvania.
E. The annuity contract 710351436, issued by Hartford Life Insurance.
The parties agree that they will make, execute, acknowledge and deliver, within thirty (30)
days after the date of this agreement, all documents necessary to transfer such items to
Wife's name alone and for Husband to waive any further claim to or interest in such assets
and Husband does hereby acknowledge those assets to be the sole and separate property
of Wife from and after the date of this agreement.
3. AUTOMOBILES. The parties will transfer to Husband the title to the 2000
Chevrolet Crew Cab 2500 Series pickup truck currently in Husband's possession. The
parties will transfer to Wife the title to the 1996 Chevrolet Tahoe currently in Wife's
possession, or the proceeds of the disposition of that vehicle if Wife has previously disposed
of it. The parties acknowledge that Wife has disposed of that vehicle and replaced it with a
2004 Ford Expedition which she purchased in September of 2007 and the parties
acknowledge the Ford Expedition is not marital property.
The parties will make, execute, acknowledge and deliver all certificates of title and
other documents necessary to transfer title to the vehicles or confirm ownership of the
above vehicles and the parties who are to receive them pursuant to this paragraph.
Further, each of the parties shall be responsible to pay any and all debts, obligations, and
liabilities arising out of their use or ownership of those vehicles, specifically including any
debts which encumber the title to the vehicles, from and after the date of the parties'
separation in April of 2001 and each party shall indemnify and save harmless the other
from any such costs, expenses or liabilities caused by the other by their failure to pay such
items for the vehicle to pass to them pursuant to this paragraph.
4. PERSONAL PROPERTY. The parties hereto mutually agree that they have
effected a satisfactory division of the furniture, household furnishings, appliances, and other
household and personal property between them and they mutually agree that each party
Page 3 of 10
shall, from and after the date hereof, be the sole and separate owner of all such tangible
personal property presently in his or her possession, whether said property was heretofore
owned jointly or individually by the parties hereto, and this agreement shall have the effect
of an assignment or receipt from each party to the other for such property as may be in the
individual possessions of each of the parties hereto, the effective date of said bill of sale to
be contemporaneous with the date of the execution of this Agreement.
5. DEBTS. The parties acknowledge that, during their marriage, they incurred
significant debts to M&T Bank or its corporate predecessor, the proceeds of which were
used to acquire many of the marital assets, including the corporation and the real estate,
and to operate the corporation and its business. The parties further agree that Wife has
undertaken to refinance those obligations so they are in her name alone. Finally, the
parties agree that Wife shall be responsible to pay and satisfy, in accordance with their
