related to this Agreement. The parties shall divide equally any legal fees, cost and
related expenses incurred to effectuate the terms of this Agreement.
20. Survival Upon Divorce. This Agreement shall not be considered
to affect or bar the right of Wife or Husband to a limited or absolute divorce on lawful
grounds if such grounds now exist or shall hereafter exist or to such defense as may
be available. It is agreed that this Agreement shall not be impaired by any divorce
decree, which may be granted, but shall continue in full force and effect,
notwithstanding the granting of any such decree. This Agreement shall be
incorporated by reference but shall not be merged into any final decree in divorce.
21. Mutual Release. Wife and Husband each do hereby mutually
remise, release, quit-claim and forever discharge the other and the estate of such
other, for all time to come, and for all purposes whatsoever, of and from any and all
rights, titles and interests or claims in or against the property (including income and
gain from property hereafter accruing) of the other or against the estate of such other,
of whatever nature and wheresoever situate, which she or he has, or at any time
hereafter, may have against such other, the estate of such other or any part thereof,
whether arising out of any former acts, contracts, engagement or liabilities of such
other, or by way of dower or curtesy, or claims in the nature of dower or curtesy, or
widow's or widower's rights, family exemption or similar allowance, or under 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: (a)
Pennsylvania; (b) any State, Commonwealth or territory of the United States; or (c)
any other country, or any rights which Wife may have or at any time hereafter have for
past, present or future spousal support or maintenance, alimony, alimony pendente
14
lite, counsel fees, costs or expenses, except as provided herein, whether arising as a
result of the marital relation or otherwise, except, and only except, all rights and
agreements and obligations of whatsoever nature arising or which may arise under this
Agreement or for the breach of any provisions hereof. It is the intention of Wife and
Husband to give to each other by the execution of the Agreement a full, complete and
general release with respect to any and all property of any kind or nature, real,
personal or mixed, which the other now owns or may hereafter acquire, 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 thereof. It is expressly
understood, however, that neither the provision of this release nor any subsequent
entry of a divorce decree are intended (i) 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), or (Ii) 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 to or subsequent to this Agreement, or (Hi) to defeat the right of
either party to receive any benefits under the Social Security Act or other similar
federal or state laws.
22. Further Documents. Husband and Wife agree to execute any and
all written instruments, assignments, releases, deeds and other documents and
writings, which from time to time may become necessary to effectuate the intent of this
Agreement.
23. Entire Aoreement. Wife and Husband do hereby covenant and
warrant that this Agreement contains all of the representations, promises and
15
agreements made by either of them to the other for the purposes set forth in the
preamble hereinabove; that there are no claims, promises or representations not
herein contained, either oral or written, which shall or may be charged or enforced or
enforceable unless reduced to writing and signed by both of the parties hereto; and the
waiver of any term, condition, clause or provision of this Agreement shall in no way be
deemed to be considered a waiver of any other terms, conditions, clauses or
provisions of this Agreement. This agreement supersedes any and all prior written or
oral agreements between the parties. This Agreement may be amended by the
parties only by a written instrument signed by both parties hereto.
24. Nonwaiver of Performance. 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 not be construed as a waiver of any subsequent
default of the same or similar nature.
25. Invalidity. If any term, condition, clause or provision of this
Agreement shall be determined or declared to be void or invalid in law or otherwise,
then only that term, condition, clause or provision shall be stricken from this
Agreement, and in all other respects, this Agreement shall be valid and continue in full
force, effect and operation. Likewise, the failure of any party to meet her or his
obligations under anyone or more of the paragraphs herein, with the exception of the
satisfaction of the conditions precedent, shall in no way avoid or alter the remaining
obligations of the parties.
26. Breach. If either party breaches any provision of this Agreement,
the other party shall have the right, at his or her election, to sue for such breach at law
or in equity to enforce any rights and remedies which the party may have, and the
16
.

by the other in enforcing his or her rights under this Agreement.
27. Governina Law. This Agreement shall be construed in
accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.

CIVIL ACTION - LAW
IN DIVORCE
NOTICE OF INTENTION TO REQUEST ENTRY OF
~ 3301(d) DIVORCE DECREE
TO: Rana J. Oammen, Defendant
You have been sued in an action for divorce. You have failed to answer the
complaint or file a counter-affidavit to the 93301 (d) affidavit. Therefore, on or after
December 22, 2004, the other party can request the court to enter a final decree in
divorce.
If you do not file with the prothonotary of the court an answer with your signature
notarized or verified or a counter-affidavit by the above date, the court can enter a final
decree in divorce. A counter-affidavit which you may file with the prothonotary is attached
to this notice.
Unless you have already filed with the court a written claim for economic relief, you
must do so by the above date or the court may grant the divorce and you will lose forever
the right to ask for economic relief. The filing of the form counter-affidavit alone does not
protect your economic claims.
YOU SHOULD TAKE THIS PAPER TO YOUR LAWYER AT ONCE. IF
YOU DO NOT HAVE A LAWYER, GO TO OR TELEPHONE THE OFFICE
SET FORTH BELOW. THIS OFFICE CAN PROVIDE YOU WITH
INFORMATION ABOUT HIRING A LAWYER. IF YOU CANNOT AFFORD
TO HIRE A LAWYER, THIS OFFICE MAY BE ABLE TO HELP YOU WITH
INFORMATION ABOUT AGENCIES THAT MAY OFFER LEGAL
SERVICES TO ELIGIBLE PERSONS AT A REDUCED FEE OR NO FEE.
