MARRIAGE SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT
Between
Adam J. Hall
And
Joan D. Hall
THIS AGREEMENT is made and entered into this , day of December, 2010, by and
between ADAM J. HALL of RR 3, Box 354, Troy, Pennsylvania (hereinafter "Husband") and
JOAN D. HALL of 19 East Eppley Drive, Carlisle, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania

WITNESSETH:
WHEREAS, the Parties were Husband and Wife, having been married on May 28, 1999,
and;
WHEREAS, there were no children born of the marriage; and
WHEREAS, the parties intend to live separate and apart for the rest of their lives and are
desirous of settling completely and finally the economic and other rights and obligations between
each other;
NOW, THEREFORE, with the foregoing recitals being hereinafter incorporated by
reference and deemed an essential part hereof, and for other good and sufficient consideration,
the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties intending to be legally bound by this
Agreement, agree as follows:
A. GENERAL.
1. INTENTION WITH RESPECT TO A DIVORCE.
Husband filed a Divorce Complaint in the Court of Common Pleas of Cumberland
County, Pennsylvania at No. 2008-5473, wherein he requested a divorce pursuant to Section
3301(c) or 3301(d) of the Pennsylvania Divorce Code. On August 23, 2010, Husband filed an
Affidavit of Consent to the Divorce under Section 3301(d). Wife subsequently filed her Counter-
Affidavit under Section 3301(d) on September 7, 2010 in which she stated that she did not
oppose the entry of a Divorce Decree. The parties agree to conclude the divorce by the end of
December 2010.
2. EFFECT OF DIVORCE DECREE.
This Agreement shall continue to be effective after the entry of a final decree in
divorce between the parties.
3. AGREEMENT TO BE INCORPORATED IN DIVORCE DECREE.
This Agreement shall be incorporated into, but not merged with, the Divorce Decree to be entered in
this case, with the Court retaining continuing jurisdiction over the parties and the subject matter of
the Agreement for the purpose of enforcement of any of its provisions. This Agreement shall survive
the Decree in Divorce and shall be independent thereof, and the parties intend that all obligations
contained in this Agreement shall retain their contractual nature in any enforcement proceedings,
whether enforcement is sought in an action on the contract itself at law or in equity, or in any
enforcement action filed to the divorce caption, including Section 3105 of the Divorce Code.
-2-
4. EFFECTIVE DATE.
The Effective Date of this Agreement shall be the same as hereinabove specified
on the first page of this Agreement.
5. ADVICE OF COUNSEL.
a) This Agreement has been prepared by Steven S. Hurvitz, Esquire, who
serves solely as Husband's counsel. Wife has retained Samuel L. Andes, Esquire, as her legal
counsel and has been advised as to her legal rights and obligations arising out of the marriage and
impending divorce and in the negotiation of this Agreement. Each party confirms that he or she
fully understands the terms, conditions and provisions of this Agreement and believes them to be
fair and reasonable under the circumstances. The parties further confirm that each is entering
into this Agreement freely and voluntarily and that the execution of this Agreement is not the
result of any duress, undue influence, collusion, or improper or illegal agreement or agreements.
b) Each party hereby waives any and all claims- and/or demands upon his or
her attorney which may or might arise out of any lack of investigation and discovery in the
