distribution, maintenance and/or support, alimony, alimony pendente lite, counsel fees and costs;
and
WHEREAS, the parties acknowledge and agree that in entering into this Agreement,
including foregoing waivers, they are each relying on truth and completeness in all material
respects as to all information provided by the other party hereto regarding the assets of such
person.
NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises, covenants and
agreements hereinafter contained, each of the parties hereto intending to be legally bound hereby
promises, covenants and agrees as follows:
DIVORCE: The parties agree that their marriage is irretrievably broken and that they
mutually consent to a divorce and agree and have executed all necessary Affidavits of

FULL FORCE AND EFFECT: This Agreement shall continue in full force and
effect until such time of final Decree in Divorce is entered.
AGREEMENT TO CONTINUE IN EVENT OF DIVORCE: In the event that the
marriage of the parties hereto is terminated by divorce, this Agreement shall nevertheless
remain in full force and effect, and shall survive such decree and shall not in any way be
affected thereby, except as provided for herein.
INTERFERENCE: Each party shall be free from interference, authority, and contact by
the other, as fully as if he or she were single and unmarried except as may be necessary to
carry out the provisions of this Agreement. Neither party shall molest the other or
attempt to endeavor to molest the other, nor compel the other to cohabit with the other, or
in any way harass or malign the other, nor in any way interfere with the peaceful
existence, separate and apart from the other.
WIFE'S DEBTS: Wife represents and warrants to Husband that since the date the
divorce was filed, to wit, May 9, 2008, she has not and in the future she will not, contract
or incur any debt or liability for which Husband or his estate might be responsible and
shall indemnify and save harmless Husband from any and all claims or demands made
against him by reason of debts or obligations incurred by her.
6. HUSBAND'S DEBTS: Husband represents and warrants to Wife that since the divorce
was filed, to wit, May 9, 2008, he has not and in the future he will not, contract or incur
any debt or liability for which Wife or her estate might be responsible and shall indemnify
and save harmless Wife from any and all claims or demands made against her by reason
of debts or obligations incurred by him.
7. DISCOVERY/FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE: The parties agree and acknowledge that

claims for equitable distribution of marital property, support, alimony, alimony pendente

Agreement.

take under the Will of the other. This Agreement shall be binding on the respective heirs,
executors, administrators and assigns of the parties thereto.

parties. There are no representations, promises, agreements, conditions, or warranties
between the parties other than those set forth herein.

15. CHILD DEPENDANCY DEDUCTIONS: The parties agree that Wife shall claim their
child, Emma R. Lavender, as a dependent on her annual income tax returns and Husband
shall claim their child, Ryan W. Lavender as a dependent on his annual income tax
returns. This arrangement shall be effective throughout the filing of income taxes for tax

children has a college savings account which names Husband as the custodian. The
parties agree that they shall both be named as custodian of these college savings accounts.

sum payment as indicated in paragraph 14(a) herein.

acknowledge that they each waive their right to request alimony, alimony pendente lite,
spousal support, counsel fees, costs and expenses from the other unless otherwise

have the right, at his or her election, to sue for damages for such breach or seek such other

of this Agreement shall be effective only if made in writing and executed with the same

of any of the provisions of this Agreement shall not be construed as a waiver of any
subsequent default of the same or similar nature.

convenience only. They shall have no effect whatsoever in determining the rights or
obligations of the parties.

4. The parties were married on February 21, 1998, and separated on May 9, 2008.
5. The parties have raised claims of equitable distribution of marital property pursuant to
the Pennsylvania Divorce Code.
II. Method of Dividing Participant's Pension
Assignment of Benefit to Alternate Payee: The Alternate Payee is hereby assigned
a portion of the Participant's vested accrued benefit under the Plan. The Fund is to
make payment of the Alternate Payee's benefits directly to the Alternate Payee. The
Alternate Payee shall be entitled to 50% of the Participant's vested monthly benefit
accrued under the Plan from February 21, 1998, until May 9, 2008. In addition, the
Alternate Payee shall receive any postretirement cost-of-living adjustments or other
economic improvements associated with the Participant's vested accrued benefit
assigned to the Alternate Payee and made to the Participant's benefits on or after the
date of his retirement.
2. Form of Benefits: The Alternate Payee is entitled to a separate interest. This means
the benefit shall be paid by the Plan in the form of a single life annuity over the life
expectancy of the Alternate Payee determined on an actuarial basis. This form of
benefit includes a three-year certain feature. If the Alternate Payee should die prior to
receiving 36 months of benefits, the Plan shall pay benefits for the number of months
remaining in the three-year period to a beneficiary selected by the Alternate Payee on a
QDRO
Page 2
beneficiary form provided by the Fund office on request, or if no beneficiary is selected,
to the surviving spouse, or if none, to the Alternate Payee's estate. The death of the
Participant will not have an effect on the Alternate Payee's receipt of benefits.
3. Commencement of Payments to the Alternate Payee: The Plan may commence
payment to the Alternate Payee at the Participant's earliest retirement age. For
purposes of this Order, the Participant's earliest retirement age is the earlier of (i) the
date on which the Participant is entitled to a distribution under the Plan or (ii) the
later of (a) the date the Participant attains age 50 or (b) the earliest date on which the
Participant could begin receiving benefits under the Plan if the Participant separated
from service, regardless of whether the Participant has actually retired.
4. Early Retirement Subsidies: The Alternate Payee shall be entitled to a pro rata
share of any early retirement subsidy (including the CMMB and the Rule of 82-85) that
is payable to the Participant at retirement. If the Alternate Payee commences benefits
before the Participant retires, then the amounts payable to the Alternate Payee will be
increased, effective on the date the Participant commences receipt of benefits, on a
prospective basis.
5. If the Participant dies before the Alternate Payee commences receipt of her benefits,
the Alternate Payee's receipt of benefits shall not be affected. If the Alternate Payee
dies before she commences receipt of her benefits, then the Alternate Payee's share
shall revert to the Participant, if permitted under the terms of the Plan; otherwise, the
Alternate Payee's share shall revert to the Plan.
III. Other Provisions
1. This Order is not intended, and shall not be construed in such a manner as, to require
the Plan Administrator:
(a) to provide any form of benefit option not otherwise provided under the terms of
the Plan;
(b) to require the Plan to provide increased benefits determined on the basis of
actuarial value; or
(c) to require the payment of any benefits to the Alternate Payee under another order
which previously was deemed to be a Qualified Domestic Relations Order.
2. For federal income tax purposes, the Alternate Payee and not the Participant shall be
treated as the distributee for all benefits made by the Plan to the Alternate Payee
pursuant to this Order. The Fund will issue a Form 1099-R to the Alternate Payee
with respect to each calendar year in which the Alternate Payee receives benefits and
will report such income to the IRS under the Alternate Payee's name and Social
Security number.
3. It is recognized that the parties may need to provide certain information to the Fund
Office. If the Fund Office or the Alternate Payee so requests, the Participant will

cooperate with the Alternate Payee in substantiating a claim or application to the Fund
and shall provide any documentation or information reasonably necessary to establish
eligibility for benefits.

Section 206(d) of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended,
