NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises, set forth herein and for other
good and valuable considerations, Wife and Husband, each intending to be legally bound hereby agree
as follows:
SECTION H
GENERAL PROVISIONS
1. MUTUAL CONSENT DIVORCE
The parties intend to secure a mutual consent, no fault divorce pursuant to the provisions of

merged into any judgment or decree for divorce obtained by either party. This agreement shall
survive any such final decree of divorce, shall be entirely independent thereof, and the parties intend
that all obligations contained herein shall retain their contractual nature in any enforcement
proceedings, whether enforcement is sought in an action on the contract itself or in any enforcement
action filed to the divorce complaint.
4. DATE OF EXECUTION
The "date of execution" or "execution date" of this Agreement shall be defined as the date
upon which it is executed by the parties if they have each executed the Agreement on the same date.
Otherwise, the "date of execution" or "execution date" of this Agreement shall be defined as the date
of execution by the party last executing this Agreement.
5. ADVICE OF COUNSEL
The provisions of this Agreement and their legal effect have been fully explained to Wife by
her attorney, Cara A. Boyanowski, Esquire. Husband acknowledges that he has the right to legal
counsel, but aider acknowledgment of same has decided to sign this Agreement without the advice

Agreement is, in the circumstance, fair and equitable and that it is being entered into freely and
voluntarily, after having received such advice and with such knowledge and that execution &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 agreement or agreements.
6. TAX PROVISIONS
The parties believe and agree, and have been so advised by their respective attorneys, that the
division of property heretofore made by this Agreement is a non-taxable division of property between
co-owners rather than a taxable sale or exchange of such property. Each party promises not to take
any position with respect to the adjusted basis of the property assigned to him or her or with respect
to any other issue which is inconsistent with the position set forth in the preceding sentence on his
or her federal or state income tax returns.
The parties have heretofore filed joint federal and state tax returns. Both parties agree that
in the event any deficiency in federal, state or local income tax is proposed, or any assessment &any
such tax is made against either of them, each will indemnify and hold harmless the other from and
against any loss or liability for any such tax deficiency or assessment and any interest, penalty and
expense incurred in connection therewith. Such tax, interest, penalty or expense shall be paid solely
and entirely by the individual who is finally determined to be the cause of the misrepresentations or
failures to disclose the nature and extent of his or her separate income on the aforesaid joint returns.
7. 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.

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 his or her will, or to act as personal representative or
executor if so named by the will of the other, whether such will was executed prior or subsequent to
this Agreement.

substantially the same benefits as are now in effect, for so long as the children are eligible to receive
coverage under her present health care plan. In the event Wife's coverage should lapse, or the
children are no longer eligible to receive coverage under Wife's plan, the parties agree to cooperate
in providing health insurance for the children in the most advantageous manner possible.
The parties further agree that all out of pocket medical expenses for the children, i.e.,
orthodontia, dentist, prescription, doctor's visits, etc., shall be split equally between the parties.
5. COLLEGE EXPENSES
Both parties agree to financially support their children in the event they desire to enroll in a
curriculum of higher education. Atter the parties have taken full advantage of all student loans and
student financial aid programs, said expenses shall be paid 50% by Husband and 50% by Wife. The
amount of support for all college tuition and expenses shall be based upon the yearly expenses
incurred by a student attending the Pennsylvania State University with a full-time student status. It
is understood by both parties that the above expenses will be paid in the manner set forth above, as
long as, the enrolled child is a student in good academic standing.
