If either party breaches any provision of this Agreement, the other party shall
have the right, at his or her election, either to sue for damages for such breach, in which
event the breaching party shall be responsible for payment for reasonable legal fees and
costs incurred by the other in enforcing their rights hereunder, or to seek such other
remedies or relief as may be available to him or her.
25. EQUITABLE DISTRIBUTION:
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 December 19, 1990 (P.L. No. 1240, No. 206) known as "The
Divorce Code," 23 P.S. 3501 et seq. of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, and as
amended.
26. SUMMARY OF EFFECT OF AGREEMENT:
It is specifically understood and agreed by and between the parties hereto, and
each party accepts the provisions herein made in lieu of and in full settlement and
satisfaction of any and all of said parties' rights against the other for any past, present and
future claims on account of support, maintenance, alimony, alimony pendente lite,
counsel fees, costs and expenses, equitable distribution of marital property and any other
claims of each party, including all claims raised by them in the divorce action pending
between the parties.
27. TAX CONSEQUENCES:
By this agreement, the parties have intended to effectuate and have equitably
divided their marital property. The parties have determined that such equitable division
conforms to a right and just standard with regard to the rights of each party. The division
of existing marital property is not, except as may be otherwise expressly provided herein,
intended by the parties to constitute in any way a sale or exchange of assets and the
division is being effected without the introduction of outside funds of other property not
constituting a part of the marital estate.
28. MUTUAL COOPERATION/DUTY TO EFFECTUATE AGREEMENT:
Each party shall, at any time and from time to time hereafter, take any and all
steps and execute, acknowledge, and deliver to the other party any and all further
instruments and/or documents that the other party may reasonably require for the purpose
of giving full force and effect to the provisions of this Agreement.
29. RECONCILIATION:
The parties shall only effect a legal reconciliation which supersedes this
agreement by their signed agreement containing a specific statement that they have
reconciled and that this agreement shall be null and void; otherwise, this agreement shall
remain in full force and effect. Further, the parties may attempt a reconciliation, which
action, if not consummated by the aforesaid agreement, shall not affect in any way the
legal effect or this agreement or cause any new marital rights or obligations to accrue.
30. SEVERABILITY:
The parties agree that the separate obligations contained in this Agreement shall
be deemed to be interdependent. If any term, clause, or provision of this Agreement shall
be determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or unenforceable, then
the parties agree that the Agreement may be reviewed and renegotiated in order to fulfill
as closely as possible the purpose of the invalid provision. Notwithstanding any release
contained herein, the parties intend that they may reinstate any and all economic claims
to the extent available under the Divorce Code of 1980. Further, any court of competent
jurisdiction may, under the equitable provisions and purposes of the Divorce Code,
reinstate any economic claim which was available at the time of the parties' separation or
avoid any waiver herein contained to renegotiate or effectuate as nearly as possible the
purpose of the unenforceable provision.
31. NO WAIVER OF DEFAULT:
This Agreement shall remain in full force and effect unless and until terminated
under and pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. The failure of either party to insist
upon strict performance of any of the provisions of this Agreement shall in no way affect
the right of such party hereafter to enforce the same, nor shall the waiver of any breach of
any provision hereof be construed as a waiver of any subsequent default of the same or
similar nature, nor shall it be construed as a waiver of strict performance of any other
obligations herein.
32. INTEGRATION:
This Agreement constitutes the entire understanding of the parties and supersedes
any and all prior agreements and negotiations between them. There are no
representations or warranties other than those expressly set forth herein. This Agreement
shall survive integration by any court into any judgment for divorce and shall continue to
have independent legal significance as written contract separate from such judgment for
divorce and may be enforced as an independent contract.
33. EFFECT OF DIVORCE DECREE:
The parties agree that unless otherwise specifically provided herein, this
Agreement shall continue in full force and effect after such time as a final decree in
divorce may be entered with respect to the parties.
34. NOTICES:
Any and all notices given hereunder shall be in writing and shall be sent
registered mail, return receipt requested:
A. To the Husband, in care of Hannah Herman-Snyder, 200 North
Hanover Street, Carlisle, Pennsylvania 17013.
B. To the Wife, at 6261 Mountain View Drive, Chambersburg,
Pennsylvania, 17201.
35. WAIVER OR MODIFICATION TO BE IN WRITING:
No modification or waiver of any of the terms hereof shall be valid unless in
writing and signed by both parties and no waiver of any breach hereof or default
hereunder shall be deemed a waiver of any subsequent default of the same or similar
nature.

36. CAPTIONS:

for reference and in no way define, limit or describe the scope and intent of this
Agreement, nor in any way effect this Agreement.
37. AGREEMENT BINDING ON HEIRS:
The Agreement shall be binding and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto
and their respective heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns.
38. LAW OF PENNSYLVANIA APPLICABLE:
This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
39. SUBSEQUENTLY DISCOVERED PROPERTY PENALTY FOR
NONDISCLOSURE:
Should either of the parties subsequently discover the existence of any marital
property not distributed by this Agreement, said property shall be divided in the same
proportion as this Agreement's equitable distribution of marital property (50150).
However, if the existence of said property was knowingly concealed or its value
misrepresented by one of the parties, said property shall be transferred in its entirety to
the non-concealing party and the concealing party shall pay all costs, fees, and attorney's
fees occasioned by the failure to disclose its existence or true value.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have set their hands and seals to two
