L.:
PERSONAL RIGHTS
Wife and Husband may and shall, at all times hereafter, live separate and apart. They
shall be free from any contact, restraint, interference or authority, direct or indirect, by the other
in all respects as fully as if they were unmarried. 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. Wife and Husband shall not molest, harass, disturb or malign
each other or the respective families of each other nor compel or attempt to compel the other to
cohabit or dwell by any means whatsoever with him or her.
WAIVER OF RIGHTS AND MUTUAL RELEASES
Except as otherwise expressly provided by this Agreement:
(a) Each party hereby absolutely and unconditionally releases and forever discharges the
other and the estate of the other for all purposes from any and all rights and obligations which
either may have or at any time hereafter have for past, present or future support or maintenance,
alimony pendente lite, alimony, equitable distribution, counsel fees, costs, expenses and any
other right or obligation, economic or otherwise, whether arising out of the marital relationship
or otherwise, including all rights and benefits under the Pennsylvania Divorce Code of 1980, its
supplements and amendments, as well as under any other law of any other jurisdiction, except
and only except all rights, agreements and obligations of whatsoever nature arising or which may
arise under this Agreement or for the breach of any provision thereof. Neither party shall have
any obligation to the other not expressly set forth herein.
(b) Each party hereby absolutely and unconditionally releases and forever discharges the

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

subsequent entry of a divorce decree are intended to defeat the right of either party to receive any
insurance proceeds at the death of the other of which she or he is the named beneficiary (whether
the beneficiary designation was made prior or subsequent to execution hereof), nor to defeat the
right of either party to receive any legacy, bequest or residuary portion of the other's estate under

party hereafter to enforce the same, nor shall the waiver of any breach of any provision hereof be
