THIS AGREEMENT, dated the 64tday of tib v ,&,t. , 2008, by and between

No. 165-54-4371, hereinafter called the "HUSBAND", who agree as follows:
WITNESSETH:
WHEREAS, the parties are Husband and Wife, having been married on May 12, 2001;
WHEREAS, diverse, unhappy and irreconcilable differences, disputes and difficulties have
arisen between the parties, and it is the intention of Wife and Husband to live separate and the parties
desire to enter into an Agreement settling fully and finally their respective financial and property
rights and obligations as between each other including, without limitation: ownership and equitable
distribution of real and personal property; past, present and future support, alimony and/or
maintenance of Wife by Husband or of Husband by Wife; and any and all claims and possible claims
by one against the other or against their respective estates;
NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the promises and of the mutual promises,
covenants and undertakings hereinafter set forth and for other good and valuable consideration,
receipt of which is hereby acknowledged by each of the parties hereto, Wife and Husband, each
intending to be legally bound hereby, mutually agree as follows:
1. AGREEMENT NOT A BAR TO DIVORCE PROCEEDINGS
This Agreement shall not be considered to affect or bar the right of Wife or Husband to a
limited or absolute divorce on lawful grounds if such grounds now exist or shall hereafter exist or to
such defense as may be available to either party. This Agreement is not intended to condone and
shall not be deemed to condone any act(s) of the other party which have occasioned the disputes or
unhappy differences whether occurring prior or subsequent to the date of this Agreement. Upon
initiation of an action in divorce by either party, the parties intend and agree to secure a mutual
consent, no-fault divorce pursuant to the terms of Section 3301(c) of the Divorce Code.
2. EFFECT OF DECREE, NO MERGER
The provisions of this Agreement relating to the equitable distribution of property of the
parties are accepted by each party as a final settlement for all purposes whatsoever. Should either of
the parties obtain a decree, judgment, or order of separation or divorce in any state, country, or
jurisdiction, each of the parties to this Agreement hereby consents and agrees that this Agreement
and all of its covenants shall not be affected in any way by any such separation or divorce; and that
nothing in any such decree, judgment, order or further modification or revision thereof shall alter,
amend or vary any term of this Agreement, whether or not either or both of the parties should
remarry, it being understood by and between the parties that this Agreement shall survive and shall
not be merged into any decree, judgment, or order of divorce or separation. The parties agree that
the terms of this Agreement may be incorporated into any divorce decree which may be entered with
respect to them for purposes of enforcement only of any provisions therein, but shall survive such
decree.
3. DISTRIBUTION DATE
The transfer of property, funds and/or documents provided for herein shall take place
simultaneously with the execution of this Agreement.
2
4. ADVICE OF COUNSEL
The parties acknowledge that they have had the opportunity to receive and have received
independent legal advice from counsel of their selection at their sole discretion and that they fully
understand the facts and have been fully informed as to their legal rights and obligations, and they
acknowledge and accept 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 the execution of this Agreement is not the result of any duress or undue influence and that it
is not the result of any collusion or improper or illegal agreements.
5. FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE
Wife and Husband represent and agree that they have made a full and complete disclosure to
the other of all information of financial nature requested by the other, and that no information of such
nature has been subject to distortion or in any manner misrepresented.
Each party acknowledges that they have been informed they may have the right, as provided
by statute and Pennsylvania Rules of Civil Procedure, to obtain information regarding the parties'
finances. Such information would include, without limitation, their present and past income; and the
identity and value of assets both presently owned and transferred previously.
6. FILING INVENTORIES AND APPRAISEMENT
The parties further acknowledge their understanding that they each have the right to file
Inventories and Appraisement with the Court and to require the other party to do so. Such
Inventories and Appraisement require a party to indicate, under oath, information regarding all
marital property in which either party has an interest as of the date the action was commenced.
Husband and Wife voluntarily and intelligently agree to waive any rights which they may have to
3
receive an inventory and appraisement of all property owned by them jointly or individually, at the
time of delivery of this Agreement or of the commencement of any action in divorce.
7. TAX LIABILITY
The parties believe and agree, and have been so advised, each at their sole discretion by their
attorneys that the division of property made by this Agreement is a non-taxable division of property
between co-owners rather than a taxable sale or exchange of property. Each party promises not to
take any position with respect to the property assigned to him or her or which is inconsistent with
this position on his or her Federal, State or local income tax returns.
8. PERSONAL RIGHTS
Wife and Husband may and shall, at all times hereafter, live separate and apart. They shall be
free from any control, restraint, interference or authority, direct or indirect, by the other in all
respects as fully as if they were unmarried. They may reside at such place or places as they may
select. Each may, for his or her separate use or benefit, conduct, carry on and engage in any
business, occupation, profession or employment which to him or her may seem advisable. Husband
and Wife shall not molest or interfere with each other, nor shall either of them attempt to compel the
other to cohabit or dwell with her or him, by any means whatsoever, nor in any way interfere with
the peaceful existence, separate and apart from the other. Neither party shall harass or be verbally or
physically abusive to the other.
9. MUTUAL RELEASES
Husband and Wife each do hereby mutually remise, release, quitclaim and forever discharge
the other and the estate of such other, for all time to come, and for all purposes whatsoever, of and
from any and all rights, title and interest, or claims in or against the property (including income and
gain from property hereafter accruing) of the other or against the estate of such other, of whatever
4
nature and wheresoever situate, which he or she now has or at any time hereafter may have against
such other, the estate of such other or any part thereof, whether arising out of any former acts,
contracts, engagements or liabilities of such other or by way of dower or courtesy, or claims in the
nature of dower or courtesy or widow's or widower's rights, family exemption or similar allowance,
or under the intestate laws, or the right to take against the spouse's Will, or the right to treat a lifetime
conveyance by the other as testamentary, or all other rights of a surviving spouse to participate in a
deceased spouse's estate, whether arising under the laws of (a) Pennsylvania, (b) any State,
Commonwealth or territory of the United States, or (c) any other country, or any rights which either
party may have or at any time hereafter have for past, present or future support or maintenance,
alimony, alimony pendente lite, counsel fees, equitable distribution, costs or expenses, whether
arising as a result of the marital relation or otherwise, except, and only except, all rights and
agreements and obligations of whatsoever nature arising or which may arise under this Agreement or
for the breach of any thereof. It is the intention of Husband and Wife to give to each other by the
execution of this Agreement a full, complete and general release with respect to any and all property
of any kind or nature, real, personal or mixed, which the other now owns or may hereafter acquire,
except and only except all rights and agreements and obligations of whatsoever nature arising or
which may arise under this Agreement or for the breach of any thereof.
10. EQUITABLE DISTRIBUTION OF PROPERTY
It is specifically understood and agreed that this Agreement constitutes an equitable
distribution of property, both real and personal, which was legally and beneficially acquired by
Husband and Wife or either of them during the marriage, as contemplated by The Act of April 2,
1980 (P.L..63, No. 26) known as "The Divorce Code," 23 P. S. 3101 et. seq. of the Commonwealth of
Pennsylvania.
5
And further, that the parties have attempted to divide their marital property in a manner
which conforms to the criteria set forth in 3502 of the Pennsylvania Divorce Code, and taking into
account the following considerations: the length of the marriage, the prior marriages, if any, of the
parties; the age, the health, station, amount and sources of income, vocational skills, employability,
estate, liabilities and needs of each of the parties; the contribution of one party to the education,
training, or increased earning power of the other party; the opportunity of each party for future
acquisition of capital assets and income; the sources of income of both parties, including but not
limited to medical, retirement, insurance or other benefits; the contribution or dissipation of each
party in the acquisition, preservation, depreciation, or appreciation of marital property, including the
contribution of a party as a homemaker; the value of the property set apart to each party; the standard
of living of the parties established during the marriage; and the economic circumstances of each
party at the time the division of property is to become effective.
11. DISTRIBUTION OF PERSONAL PROPERTY
The parties hereto have divided between themselves, to their mutual satisfaction, all items of
tangible and intangible marital property, including but not limited to bank accounts, household
goods, furniture, furnishings and contents of the marital home. Neither party shall make any claim
to any such other items of marital property, or of their separate personal property, which are now
deemed in the respective possession and/or under the control of the other party. 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
6
personal property, if any physical or written certificate of insurance or other similar writing is in the
possession or control of the party.
Each of the parties, subject to the terms hereof, hereby specifically waives, releases,
renounces and forever abandons any claim which he or she may have with respect to those items of
personal property hereby assigned to the other, which such items shall hereafter be the sole and
exclusive property of the other. From and after the date of the signing of this Agreement both parties
shall have complete freedom of disposition as to their 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, whether real or personal, whether such property was
acquired before, during or after marriage, and neither Husband nor Wife need join in, consent to, or
acknowledge any deed, mortgage, or other instrument of the other pertaining to such disposition of
property. Each of the parties shall hereafter own and enjoy, independently of any claim or right of
the other, all items of personal property, tangible and intangible, subsequently acquired by a party.
A. VEHICLES
Distribution of the personal property is deemed to include motor vehicles previously owned
or leased by the parties, and any substitutions and replacements thereof. It is agreed that the 1998
Saturn Coupe, together with any substitutions or replacements thereof, with all right, title, possession
and interest therein, shall become and remain the sole and exclusive property of Wife. Wife agrees
to assume, indemnify and respectively hold the Husband harmless from any and all liability for any
and all liens, encumbrances, lease and other obligations with respect to such vehicle retained by

account shall become and remain the sole and exclusive property of Wife.
