THIS AGREEMENT, made this 12A, day of 2005, by and between
MARY ANNE LAWLER, now of East Pennsboro Township, Cumberland County,
Pennsylvania, hereinafter referred to as "Wife",
-AND-
JOHN B. LAWLER, JR., now of East Pennsboro Township, Cumberland County,
Pennsylvania, hereinafter referred to as "Husband",
WITNESSETH:
WHEREAS, Husband and Wife were lawfully married on July 27, 1991, in Lewes,
Delaware: and
WHEREAS, diverse unhappy marital difficulties have arisen between the parties,
causing them to believe that their marriage is irretrievably broken, as a result of which the
parties intend to live separate and apart from one another hereafter, the parties being
estranged due to such marital difficulties with no reasonable expectation of reconciliation; and
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 by
specification: the settling of all matters between them relating to the ownership of real and
personal property; the settling of all matters between them relating to the past, present, or
future support and/or maintenance of Wife by Husband or of Husband by Wife; and in general,
the settling of any and all claims and possible claims by one against the other or against their
respective estate, particularly those responsibilities and rights growing out of the marriage
relationship; and
WHEREAS, Husband and Wife declare that each has had a full and fair opportunity to
obtain independent legal advice of counsel of his or her selection; that Wife has been
independently represented by counsel, CONSTANCE P. BRUNT, ESQUIRE, and that
Husband, cognizant of his right to legal representation, declares that it is his express,
voluntary, and knowing intention not to avail himself of his right to counsel and chooses
instead to represent himself with respect to the preparation and execution of this Agreement.
The parties acknowledge that they fully understand the facts and they acknowledge and
accept that this Agreement, is, in the circumstances, fair and equitable, and that it is being
entered into freely and voluntarily, with such knowledge and that 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 hereto acknowledges that he or she
has either been fully advised by his or her respective attorney or has voluntarily waived his or
her right to receive legal advice of the impact of the Pennsylvania Divorce Code, whereby the
Court has the power and duty to determine all marital rights of the parties including divorce,
alimony, alimony pendente lite, equitable distribution of all marital property owned or
possessed individually by either, counsel fees and costs of litigation. Nonetheless, 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' right to
a divorce, alimony, alimony pendente lite, equitable distribution of all marital property, counsel
fees and costs of litigation.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and of the promises, covenants
and undertakings hereinafter set forth, and for other good and valuable consideration, the
receipt 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. SEPARATION. It shall be lawful for Husband and Wife at all times hereafter to
2
live separate and apart from each other and to reside, from time to time, at such place or
places as they shall respectively deem fit, free from any control, restraint or interference, direct
or indirect, by each other. Neither party shall molest the other or compel or endeavor to
compel the other to cohabit or dwell with him or her by any legal or other proceedings.
2. SUBSEQUENT DIVORCE. The parties hereby agree that Wife will promptly
file a Complaint in Divorce in The Court Of Common Pleas of Cumberland County,
Pennsylvania, claiming that the marriage is irretrievably broken under the no-fault, mutual
consent provision of Section 3301(c) of the Pennsylvania Divorce Code. The parties hereby
express their agreement that the marriage is irretrievably broken and express their intent to
execute any and all affidavits or other documents necessary for the parties to obtain an
absolute divorce pursuant to Section 3301(c) of the Divorce Code as soon as practicable. The
parties hereby waive all rights to request Court-ordered counseling under the Divorce Code.
Neither party to such action shall seek alimony, alimony pendente lite, or support or
maintenance of any nature contrary to the provisions of this Agreement. It is further
specifically understood and agreed by the parties that the provisions of this Agreement relating
to equitable distribution of property of the parties are accepted by each party as a final
settlement for all purposes whatsoever, as contemplated by the Pennsylvania Divorce Code.
Should a decree, judgment or order of separation or divorce be obtained by
either of the parties in this or any other state, country or jurisdiction, each of the parties hereby
consents and agrees that this Agreement and all of its covenants shall not be affected in any
way by any such separation or divorce; and that nothing in any such decree, judgment, order
or further modification or revision thereof shall alter, amend or vary any term of this
Agreement, whether or not either or both of the parties shall remarry, it being understood by
and between the parties hereto that this Agreement shall survive and shall not be merged into
any decree, judgment, or order of divorce or separation. Notwithstanding the provisions of the
Pennsylvania Divorce Code or of any law to the contrary, none of the terms and provisions of
this Agreement shall be subject to modification by the Court or in any fashion other than as set
3
forth hereinafter. It is specifically agreed, however, that this Agreement shall be subject to
enforcement under the provisions of the Pennsylvania Divorce Code or, at the option at the
aggrieved party, by a suit against the alleged breaching party either in law or in equity.

execution" or "execution date", defined as the date upon which it is executed by the parties if

he has not, and in the future he will not, contract or incur any debt or liability for which Wife or

Divorce Code, and the mortgage balance. It is the intent of the parties that Wife shall retain
the said residence, and Husband and Wife shall contemporaneously with the execution of this

equity value of the said residence. As soon as practicable after the date of execution of this
Agreement, but no later than thirty (30) days thereafter, Wife shall refinance the existing VNB
mortgage and satisfy it in full to release Husband from any liability thereon. At that time, Wife
shall pay to Husband a partial payment in the amount of $37,640.00. Immediately upon
receipt of said payment, Husband shall vacate the residence. The balance of $5,000.00 due
to Husband shall be paid upon his prompt execution of an Affidavit of Consent and any other
documents necessary to finalize the mutual consent, no-fault divorce, which the parties intend
shall be executed as soon as possible after ninety (90) days have expired from the filing and
service of Wife's complaint in divorce. All such funds paid to him shall thereafter be
Husband's sole and separate property. Wife shall assume sole responsibility for any recording
fees, costs or expenses incident to the aforesaid transfer of the said marital home to Wife by
Husband.

shall retain as his or her sole and separate property, free and clear from any claim, right, title
or interest on the part of the other, any bank or depository account or cash assets of any
nature, now in his or her respective individual name.

Community Credit Union, designated as the "Whatever" account, (account S3). The parties

which has been deposited to this account. This account will be immediately closed, and the
balance shall be divided equally between the parties. From Husband's share of the account,
he shall reimburse Wife in the amount of $162.50 for one-half of the cost of the appraisal of
the marital residence which Wife paid.

vehicles on the part of Wife.

trailer and utility trailer, free and clear of any claim, right, title or interest in said boat and
trailers on the part of Wife.
The parties shall promptly cooperate in the execution and delivery of any
documents necessary to effectuate any required transfer of title or registration consistent with
this provision.

property any policies of life insurance of which he or she is now the owner.

her respective name, free of any claim by the other party.
12. DISTRIBUTION OF RETIREMENT ASSETS AND ACCOUNTS. The parties
acknowledge that the Husband is the owner of an Individual Retirement Account with Morgan
Stanley. Husband shall retain this account as his sole and separate property free of any
claims of any nature by Wife.
The parties further acknowledge that Wife is a participant in a pension/retirement
plan and a 401(k) plan through her retirement with Verizon. Wife shall retain as her sole and
separate property all rights of any nature in her pension/retirement plan and her 401(k) plan
account, free of any claims by Husband. Contemporaneously with the execution of this
Agreement, Husband shall execute any additional waivers or other documents that are
required by the Verizon plan administrators to effectuate the provisions of this paragraph and
8
to waive any claims he might now or hereafter have in Wife's said retirement assets.
13. TAXES. By this Agreement, the parties have intended to effectuate and by this
Agreement have equally divided their marital property. The parties have determined that such
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 or other property not
constituting a part of the marital estate. As a part of the equal division of the marital property
and the marital settlement herein contained, the parties agree to save and hold each other
harmless from all income taxes assessed against the other resulting from the division of the
property as herein provided.
The parties acknowledge that they have filed various joint income tax returns
during the course of their marriage. In filing each such return, each party has relied
exclusively upon the other party to provide truthful and accurate information relating to the
other party's employment income, business income or deductions, or income from any other
source. In the event that any additional taxes, penalties or interest are assessed as a result of
any such joint return, the party responsible for under-reporting income or claiming any
improper deduction shall indemnify and save the other party harmless from such tax liability,
penalties, interest, attorney's fees or accountant's fees.
14. PETS. Wife shall retain custody and ownership of the following pets: a parrot
named "Dell", a Bichon Frise dog named "Cassie", and a Bichon Frise/Wheaton Terrier dog
named "Lily".

the request of the other, execute, acknowledge and deliver to the other party any and all
further instruments or documents as may be reasonably required to give full force and effect to
the provisions of this Agreement.
9

provisions of this Agreement shall be effective only if made in writing and executed with the
same formality as this Agreement. The failure of either party to insist upon the 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.
17. ENTIRE AGREEMENT. This Agreement contains the entire, complete and
exclusive understanding of the parties, and there are no representations, warranties,
covenants or undertakings other than those expressly set forth herein.
18. DESCRIPTIVE HEADINGS. The descriptive headings used herein are for

obligations of the parties.
