MARITAL SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT
THIS AGREEMENT is made this 3-?- day of '?-t rq 12011, by
and between. James D. Delbridge, of Cumberland County, Pennsylvania, and Julie A. Delbridge,
of Lebanon County, Pennsylvania;
WITNESSETH:
WHEREAS, James D. Delbridge (hereinafter referred to as "Husband"), presently resides
at 37 Willow Way Drive, Enola, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania 17025;
WHEREAS, Julie A. Delbridge (hereinafter referred to as "Wife"), presently resides at
217 South Harrison Street, Palmyra, Lebanon County, Pennsylvania 17078;
WHEREAS, the parties hereto are husband and wife, having been lawfully married on
February 13, 1992 in San Diego, California;
WHEREAS, the parties have lived separate and apart since on or about March 10, 2010;
WHEREAS, the parties are the parents of one minor child, namely, Hayden J. Delbridge,
who is four years of age (hereinafter referred to as "Hayden");
WHEREAS, the parties share custody of Hayden equally at the time of execution of this
Agreement;
WHEREAS, the parties hereto are desirous of settling fully and finally their respective
financial and property rights and obligations as between each other, including, without limitation,
the settling of all matters between them relating to the ownership of real and personal property,
the support and maintenance of one another and, in general, the settling of any and all claims and
possible claims by one against the other or against their respective estates.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of these premises, and of the mutual promises,
covenants and undertakings hereinafter set forth, and for other good and valuable consideration,
the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged by each of the parties hereto,
Husband and Wife, each intending to be legally bound hereby, covenant and agree as follows:
1. ADVICE OF COUNSEL. Each party acknowledges that he or she has
had the opportunity to receive independent legal advice from counsel of his or her selection
(Lesley J. Beam, Esquire for Husband and Melissa L. Van Eck, Esquire for Wife). Each party
fully understands the facts and his or her legal rights and obligations, and each party
acknowledges and accepts that this Agreement is, in the circumstances, fair and equitable, and
that it is being entered into freely and voluntarily, 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 improper or illegal
agreement or agreements. In addition, each party understands the impact of the Pennsylvania
Divorce Code, whereby the court has the right and duty to determine all marital rights of the
parties including divorce, alimony, alimony pendente lite, equitable distribution of all marital
property or property owned or possessed individually by the other, counsel fees and costs of
litigation and, fully knowing the same, each party hereto still desires to execute this Agreement,
acknowledging that the terms and conditions set forth herein are fair, just and equitable to each of
the parties, and waives his and her respective right to have the Court of Common Pleas of
Cumberland County, or any other court of competent jurisdiction, make any determination or
order affecting the respective parties' rights to alimony, alimony pendente lite, support and
maintenance, equitable distribution, counsel fees and costs of litigation.
2
2. DISCLOSURE OF ASSETS. Each of the parties hereto acknowledges
that he or she is aware of his or her right to seek discovery, including, but not limited to, written
interrogatories, motions for production of documents, the taking of oral depositions, the filing of
inventories, and all other means of discovery permitted under the Pennsylvania Divorce Code or
the Pennsylvania Rules of Civil Procedure. Each of the parties further acknowledges that he or
she has had the opportunity to discuss with counsel the concept of marital property under
Pennsylvania law and each is aware of his or her right to have the real and/or personal property,
estate and assets, earnings and income of the other assessed or evaluated by the courts of this
commonwealth or any other court of competent jurisdiction. The parties do hereby acknowledge
that there has been full and fair disclosure to the other of his or her respective income, assets and
liabilities, whether such are held jointly or in the name of one party alone. Each party agrees that
any right to further disclosure, valuation, enumeration or statement thereof in this Agreement is
hereby specifically waived, and the parties do not wish to make or append hereto any further
enumeration or statement. Each party warrants that he or she is not aware of any marital asset
which is not identified in this Agreement. The parties hereby acknowledge and agree that the
division of assets as set forth in this Agreement is fair, reasonable and equitable, and is
satisfactory to them. Each of the parties hereto further covenants and agrees for himself and
herself and his or her heirs, executors, administrators or assigns, that he or she will never at any
time hereafter sue the other party or his or her heirs, executors, administrators or assigns in any
action of contention, direct or indirect, and allege therein that there was a denial of any rights to
full disclosure, or that there was any fraud, duress, undue influence or that there was a failure to
have available full, proper and independent representation by legal counsel.
3. PERSONAL RIGHTS. Husband and Wife may, at all times hereafter,
live separate and apart. Each shall be free from all control, restraint, interference and authority,
direct or indirect, by the other. Each may reside at such place or places as he or she may select.
Each may, for his or her separate use or benefit, conduct, carry on or engage in any business,
occupation, profession or employment which to him or her may seem advisable. Husband and
Wife 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 or in any
manner whatsoever with him or her. Neither party will interfere with the use, ownership,
enjoyment or disposition of any property now owned by or hereafter acquired by the other.
4. MUTUAL CONSENT DIVORCE. It is the intention of the parties, and
the parties agree, that by this Agreement they have resolved all ancillary economic issues related
to the dissolution of their marriage and thus any divorce action with respect to these parties shall
be limited to a claim for divorce only. Husband has already commenced a divorce action
pursuant to §3301(c) of the Divorce Code in Cumberland County, docketed to Civil Action No.
2010-2465. The parties further acknowledge the ninety-day waiting period provided for under
§3301(c) of the Divorce Code has expired, and agree to finalize the divorce action pursuant to the
mutual consent no-fault provisions set forth within §3301(c) of the Divorce Code.
Simultaneously with the execution of this Agreement, both of the parties will execute Affidavits
of Consent and Waivers of Notice of Intention to Request Entry of Divorce Decree and deliver
same to counsel for Husband, who shall file them of record along with any and all other
necessary documents to ensure the prompt entry of a divorce decree.

hereafter incur it, and such party agrees to pay it as the same shall become due, and to indemnify
and hold the other party and his or her property harmless from any and all debts, obligations and
liabilities.
(1) Indemnification of Wife. If any claim, action or proceeding is
hereafter initiated seeking to hold Wife liable for the debts or obligations assumed by Husband

represents and warrants to the other that he or she will not at any time in the future incur or
contract any debt, charge or liability for which the other, the other's legal representatives,
property or estate may be responsible. From the date of execution of this Agreement, each party
shall use only those credit cards and accounts for which that party is individually liable and the
parties agree to cooperate in closing any remaining accounts which provide for joint liability.
Each party hereby agrees to indemnify, save and hold the other and his or her property harmless
from any liability, loss, cost or expense whatsoever, including actual attorneys' fees, incurred in
the event of breach hereof.

and claims which he or she may have now or hereafter by reason of the parties' marriage to
alimony, alimony pendente lite, spousal support and/or maintenance or other like benefits
resulting from the parties' status as husband and wife. The parties further release and waive any
11
rights they may have to seek modification of the terms of this paragraph in a court of law or
equity, it being understood that the foregoing constitutes a final determination for all time of
either party's obligation to contribute to the support and maintenance of the other.
7. TAX MATTERS. The parties agree that for the current tax year and all
tax years to come, the parties will file separate returns. In the event that any tax liability is owed

solely responsible for his or her own legal fees, costs and expenses incurred in connection with
their separation and/or the dissolution of their marriage, and the preparation and execution of this
Agreement.
11. WAIVER OF INHERITANCE RIGHTS. Unless otherwise specifically
provided in this Agreement, as of the execution date of this Agreement, Husband and Wife each
waive all rights of inheritance in the estate of the other, any right to elect to take against the will
12
or any trust of the other or in which the other has an interest, and each of the parties waives any
additional rights which said party has or may have by reason of their marriage, except the rights
saved or created by the terms of this Agreement. This waiver shall be construed generally and
shall include, but not be limited to, a waiver of all rights provided under the laws of
Pennsylvania, or any other jurisdiction.
12. WAIVER OF BENEFICIARY DESIGNATION. Unless otherwise
specifically set forth in this Agreement, each party hereto specifically waives any and all
beneficiary rights and any and all rights as a surviving spouse in and to any asset, benefit or like
program carrying a beneficiary designation which belongs to the other party under the terms of
this Agreement, including, but not limited to, pensions and retirement plans of any sort or nature,
deferred compensation plans, life insurance policies, annuities, stock accounts, bank accounts,
final pay checks or any other post-death distribution scheme, and each party expressly states that
it is his and her intention to revoke by the terms of this Agreement any beneficiary designations
naming the other which are in effect as of the date of execution of this Agreement. If and in the
event the other party continues to be named as beneficiary and no alternate beneficiary is
otherwise designated, the beneficiary shall be deemed to be the estate of the deceased party.
13. RELEASE OF CLAIMS.
(a) Wife and Husband acknowledge and agree that the property
dispositions provided for herein constitute an equitable distribution of their assets and liabilities
pursuant to §3502 of the Divorce Code, and Wife and Husband hereby waive any right to
division of their property except as provided for in this Agreement. Furthermore, except as
otherwise provided for in this Agreement, each of the parties hereby specifically waives, releases,
13
renounces and forever abandons any claim, right, title or interest whatsoever he or she may have
in property transferred to the other party pursuant to this Agreement or identified in this
Agreement as belonging to the other party, and each party agrees never to assert any claim to said
property or proceeds in the future. However, neither party is released or discharged from any
obligation under this Agreement or any instrument or document executed pursuant to this
Agreement. Husband and Wife shall hereafter own and enjoy independently of any claim or right
of the other, all items of personal property, tangible or intangible, acquired by him or her from
the execution date of this Agreement with full power in him or her to dispose of the same fully
and effectively for all purposes.
(b) 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 party may have or at any time hereafter has 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 and obligations arising under this
Agreement or for the breach of any of its provisions. Neither party shall have any obligation to
the other not expressly set forth herein.
(c) Except as set forth in this Agreement, each party hereby absolutely
and unconditionally releases and forever discharges the other and his or her heirs, executors,
administrators, assigns, property and estate from any and all rights, claims, demands or
14
obligations arising out of or by virtue of the marital relationship of the parties whether now
existing or hereafter arising. The above release shall be effective regardless of whether such
claims arise out of any former or future acts, contracts, engagements or liabilities of the other or
by way of dower, courtesy, 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 Pennsylvania, any
state, commonwealth or territory of the United States, or any other country.
(d) Except for the obligations of the parties contained in this
Agreement and such rights as are expressly reserved herein, each party gives to the other by the
execution of this Agreement an absolute and unconditional release and discharge from all causes
of action, claims, rights or demands whatsoever in law or in equity, which either party ever had
or now has against the other.
14. PRESERVATION OF RECORDS. Each party will keep and preserve
for a period of two (2) years from the date of their divorce decree all financial records relating to
the marital estate, and each party will allow the other party access to those records in the event of
tax audits.
15. MODIFICATION. No modification, rescission, or amendment to this
Agreement shall be effective unless in writing signed by each of the parties hereto.
16. SEVERABILITY. If any provision of this Agreement is held by a court
of competent jurisdiction to be void, invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions hereof
shall nevertheless survive and continue in full force and effect without being impaired or
invalidated in any way.
15
17. BREACH. If either party hereto breaches any provision hereof, the other
party shall have the right, at his or her election, to sue for damages for such breach, or seek such
other remedies or relief as may be available to him or her. The non-breaching party shall be
entitled to recover from the breaching party all costs, expenses and legal fees actually incurred in
the enforcement of the rights of the non-breaching party.
18. WAIVER OF BREACH. The waiver by one party of any breach of this
Agreement by the other party will not be deemed a waiver of any other breach or any provision of
this Agreement.
19. NOTICE. Any notice to be given under this Agreement by either party to
the other shall be in writing and may be effected by registered or certified mail, return receipt
requested. Notice to Husband will be sufficient if made or addressed to the following:
James D. Delbridge
37 Willow Way Drive
Enola, Pennsylvania 17025
and to Wife, if made or addressed to the following:
Julie A. Delbridge
217 South Harrison Street

Notice shall be deemed to have occurred upon the date received by the recipient. Each party may
change the address for notice to him or her by giving notice of that change in accordance with the
provisions of this paragraph.
20. APPLICABLE LAW. All acts contemplated by this Agreement shall be
construed and enforced under the substantive laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania
(without regard to the conflict of law rules applicable in Pennsylvania) in effect as of the date of
execution of this Agreement.
16
21. DATE OF EXECUTION. The "date of execution" or "execution date" of
this Agreement shall be defined as the date upon which the parties signed the Agreement if they
do so on the same date, or if not on the same date, then the date on which the Agreement was
signed by the last party to execute this Agreement.
22. EFFECTIVE DATE. This Agreement shall become effective and
binding upon both parties on the execution date.
23. EFFECT OF RECONCILIATION, COHABITATION OR
DIVORCE. This Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and shall not be abrogated
even if the parties effect a reconciliation, cohabit as husband and wife or attempt to effect a
reconciliation. This Agreement also shall continue in full force and effect in the event of the
parties' divorce. There shall be no modification or waiver of any of the terms hereof unless the
parties in writing execute a statement declaring this Agreement or any term of this Agreement to
be null and void.
24. HEADINGS NOT PART OF AGREEMENT. Any headings preceding
the text of the several paragraphs and subparagraphs hereof are inserted solely for convenience of
reference and shall not constitute a part of this Agreement nor shall they affect its meaning,
construction or effect.
25. AGREEMENT BINDING ON PARTIES AND HEIRS. This
Agreement shall bind the parties hereto and their respective heirs, executors, administrators, legal
representatives, assigns, and successors in any interest of the parties.
17
26. ENTIRE AGREEMENT. Each party acknowledges that he or she has
carefully read this Agreement; that he or she has discussed its provisions with an attorney of his
or her own choice, and has executed it voluntarily and in reliance upon his or her own attorney;
and that this instrument expresses the entire agreement between the parties concerning the
subjects it purports to cover and supersedes any and all prior agreements between the parties.
This Agreement should be interpreted fairly and simply, and not strictly for or against either of
the parties.
27. MUTUAL COOPERATION. Each party shall, on demand, execute and
deliver to the other any deeds, bills of sale, assignments, consents to change of beneficiary
designations, tax returns, and other documents, and shall do or cause to be done every other act
or thing that may be necessary or desirable to effectuate the provisions and purposes of this
Agreement. If either party unreasonably fails on demand to comply with these provisions, that
party shall pay to the other party all attorney's fees, costs, and other expenses actually incurred as
a result of such failure.
28. AGREEMENT NOT TO BE MERGED. This Agreement may be
incorporated into a decree of divorce for purposes of enforcement only, but otherwise shall not be
merged into said decree. The parties shall have the right to enforce this Agreement under the
Divorce Code of 1980, as amended, and in addition, shall retain any remedies in law or in equity
under this Agreement as an independent contract. Such remedies in law or equity are specifically
not waived or released.

UNSECURED PROMISSORY NOTE
The undersigned, Julie Ann Delbridge ("Borrower"), hereby acknowledges herself
indebted to James P. and Donna C. Delbridge ("Lenders"), for money received prior to the date
of execution of this promissory note. The Lenders obligated themselves on a line of credit,
account no. 689116233, at Sovereign Bank, the current balance of which is for money received
by the Borrower, on the promise that the Borrower would be solely responsible for repayment of
this line of credit directly to Sovereign Bank under the terms and conditions of this line of credit.
The Borrower must make all minimum payments when due, and shall be fully obligated for
repayment of this line of credit as if she were the original obligor. In the event that the Lenders
so require for whatever reason, the Borrower shall pay off the remaining principal of this line of
credit within sixty (60) days of written demand. In the event of default by Borrow in payment of
any amount of principal or interest or other fees or expenses under this Promissory Note, the
entire remaining principal sum and all interest accrued shall, at the option of the Lender, become
immediately due and payable without notice or demand. The Borrower shall indemnify and
defend Lenders against any liability for this line of credit and shall reimburse the Lenders for any
attorney fees incurred in the event of a default of the Borrower.
The Lender may assign all of its right, title, and interest in, to and under this Promissory
Note. All payments required to be made hereunder shall be made by the Borrower without any
right of set off or counterclaim.
