all assets of any nature owned by each, all debts or obligations for which the other party may be
liable in whole or part, and all sources and amounts of income. The parties acknowledge that they
fully understand the facts, and they acknowledge and accept that this Agreement, is, under the
circumstances, fair and equitable, and tlJat 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.
1
NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and of the mutual promises,
covenants and undertakings hereinafter set forth and for other good and valuable consideration,
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. PERSONAL RIGHTS. It shall be lawful for each Husband and Wife at all times
hereafter to live separate and apart from the other party at such place as he or she may from time to
time choose or deem fit. The parties shall be free from any control, restraint, interference or
authority, direct or indirect, by the other in all respects as fully as if they were unmarried, except as
may be necessary to carry out the provisions of this Agreement.
2. MUTUAL RELEASE. Husband and Wife each do hereby mutually remise, release,
quitclaim and forever discharge the other, for all time to come, and for all purposes whatsoever, of
and from any and all rights, titles and interests, or claims against the other party whether arising as a
result of the marital relation or otherwise; except all rights and agreements and obligations of
whatsoever nature arising or which may arise under this Agreement or for breach of any provision
hereof.
It is further specifically understood and agreed by and between the parties hereto that each
accepts the provisions herein made by the other in lieu of and in full settlement and satisfaction of
any and all of their rights against the other or any past, present and future claims and it further
specifically agreed that each party is granting the other with a general release as to any and all claims
of any nature whatsoever.
3. RELEASE OF TESTAMENTARY CLAIMS. Except as provided for in this
Agreement, each of the parties hereto shall have the right to dispose of his or her property by last will
and testament or otherwise, and each of them agrees that the estate of the other, whether real,
personal or mixed, shall be and belong to the person or persons who would have become entitled
thereto as if the decedent had been the last to die. Except as set forth herein, this provision is
intended to constitute a mutual waiver by the parties of any rights to assert rights as a spause against
each other's estate whatsoever, and is intended to confer third-party beneficiary rights upon the other
heirs and beneficiaries of each.
2
4. FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE. The parties waive their rights to require the filing of
financial statements by the other, although the parties have been advised by their respective attorneys
that it is their legal right to have these disclosures made prior to entering into this Agreement and by
entering into this Agreement without reliance upan financial disclosure, the parties are forever
waiving their right to request or use that as a basis to overturn this Agreement or any part thereof.
5. INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS. The transfers of property pursuant to this
Agreement are transfers between Husband and Wife incident to their divorce and as such are
nontaxable, with no gain or loss recognized. The transferee's basis in the property shall be the
adjusted basis of the transferor immediately before the transfer. The transfers herein are an equal
division of marital property for full and adequate consideration and as such will not result in any gift
tax liability.
6. PENSION. PROFIT-SHARING. RETIREMENT. CREDIT UNION OR
OTHER EMPLOYMENT -RELATED PLANS. The parties hereto expressly waive and relinquish
any right, claim, title or interest in any pension, profit-sharing, retirement, credit union or other
employment-related plans in which the other has any interest by virtue of his or her past or present
employment, whether vested or unvested, matured or unmatured.
7. EQUITABLE DISTRIBUTION OF MARITAL PROPERTY. The parties have
attempted to distribute their marital property in a manner which conforms to the criteria set forth in
Section 3502 of the Pennsylvania Divorce Code.
The division of existing marital property is not intended by the parties to constitute in any
way a sale or exchange of assets, and the division is being affected without the introduction of
outside funds or other property not constituting marital property. The division of property under this
Agreement shall be in full satisfaction of all marital rights of the parties.
A. MOTOR VEHICLES. The parties agree that each shall have full and sole
possession of any vehicles that are presently in his or her possession. On or before the date
of the execution of this Agreement, the parties shall execute the titles to the said vehicles, if
appropriate, so as to effectuate the transfer as herein provided. Furthermore, each party shall
become solely responsible for the financial obligation associated with the vehicle he or she
is to retain pursuant to this Agreement and each party agrees to indemnify and hold harmless
3
the other party from any and all liability therefor. More specifically, Wife shall retain as her
sole and separate property the 2004 Jeep Liberty and she shall be solely responsible for any
and all liabilities related to the vehicle and she shall hold Husband harmless from same. The
parties specifically agree that Wife shall refinance the joint secured loan obligation for the
vehicle being retained by Wife within thirty (30) days of the effective date of this Agreement
such that Husband is released from any and all liability for same. In addition, Husband shall
retain as his sole and separate property the pick up truck within his passession and he shall be
solely responsible for any and all liabilities related to the truck and he shall hold Wife
harmless from same. The parties specifically acknowledge that Husband has previously
refinanced the secured loan for the truck he is to retain and Wife was released from any and
all liability for that loan obligation at the time of the refinance. Both parties agree to sign any
and all documentation to effectuate the terms of this provision immediately upon a request
for same by the other party.
B. DMSION OF HOUSEHOLD AND PERSONAL PROPERTY. The
parties hereto have divided between themselves, to their mutual satisfaction, all items of
tangible and intangible marital property and it is acknowledged by the parties that the
personal property within each party's possession or control shall be designated as that party's
sole and separate property and the other party waives any and all rights in same. Should it
become necessary, the parties each agree to sign, upon request, any titles or documents
necessary to give effect to this paragraph. Property shall be deemed to be in the possession
or under the control of either party if, in the case of tangible personal property, it is physically
in the possession or control of the party at the time of the signing of this Agreement, and in
the case of intangible personal property, if any physical or written evidence of ownership,
such as passbook, checkbook, policy or certificate of insurance or other similar writing is in
the possession or control of the party.
C. DISTRIBUTION OF CASH ASSETS. STOCKS AND BONDS. The
parties agree that they have distributed to each, to their mutual satisfaction, the sums
deposited in the marital bank accounts. The parties further agree that they shall retain as their
respective sole and separate property any other depository or brokerage accounts, stocks, or
bonds held in their respective individual names.
4
8. DEBTS. Husband represents and warrants to Wife that since the separation he has
not, and in the future he will not contract or incur any debt or liability for which Wife or her estate
might be responsible, and he shall indemnify and save Wife harmless from any and all claims or
demands made against her by reason of such debt or obligation incurred by him since the date of said

transfer of Husband's truck payment at or about the time of separation of the parties, and Wife shall
hold Husband harmless therefore. The parties further acknowledge that there are no other marital
debts that need to be distributed between them.

responsible for their own attorney's fees and costs incurred with respect to the negotiation of this

divorce and the obligations of the parties to each other resulting therefrom shall not be dischargeable
in bankruptcy, should either party file for protection under the Bankruptcy Code at any time after the
date of execution of this Agreement.
The payments called for in this Agreement are not intended to be a debt which is affected by
a discharge in bankruptcy and the terms of this Agreement are not subject to discharge in bankruptcy
because the parties acknowledged that such are necessary for the parties to meet their financial
obligations and to support and maintain their standard ofliving as well as that of the parties' children.

not to file a bankruptcy action prior to the completion of their respective obligations pursuant to this

bankruptcy action filed by or on behalf of one of the parties hereto. Also, if either party files for
bankruptcy, this Agreement shall constitute conclusive evidence of the parties' intent that the
obligations in the nature of maintenance and support are not dischargeable under current bankruptcy
law or under any amendment thereto. Further if either party institutes any action in bankruptcy or
any other bankruptcy proceeding is instituted in which a party's right to have payments made by the
other becomes a matter for judicial review, the parties agree to consent to any motion filed by the
other with the bankruptcy courts, wherein the party may request that the bankruptcy courts abstain
from deciding the dischargeability of said obligation and any other obligations to said party
thereunder in order to allow the appropriate Court of Common Pleas to rule upon this issue.

and effect regardless of any change in the marital status of the parties. It is warranted, covenanted
