acknowledges and accepts that this Agreement is, in the circumstances, fair and equitable; it is
being entered into freely and voluntarily; the execution of this Agreement is not the result of any
duress or undue influence; 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,

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

2
2. DISCLOSURE OF ASSETS. Each of the parties hereto acknowledges

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,

maintenance or other like benefits resulting from the parties' status as husband and wife. The
parties further release and waive any 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
15
final determination for all time of either party's obligation to contribute to the support and
maintenance of the other. Accordingly, Wife shall take the steps to withdraw with prejudice her
pending claim for spousal support, and she shall direct the court to enter an order terminating
said obligation as of March 31, 2007.
Notwithstanding the above, the parties do agree to the payment of limited alimony as set
forth herein. Wife shall receive, as and for alimony, a lump sum in the amount of Two Thousand
Two Hundred Thirty Dollars ($2,230.00) payable within thirty (30) days from execution of this
Agreement which sum is equivalent to one-half of the gross retroactive lump sum Husband
received from the Teamster's when his pension plan was activated to "pay status." In addition,
commencing April 1, 2007, until such time as the Qualified Domestic Relations Order called for
supra is implemented to afford Wife Husband's interest in his Teamster's Pension Plan, Husband
shall pay to Wife, as and for alimony, the monthly sum of Two Hundred Thirty Four Dollar s
($234.00), which payment shall be due on or before the fifteenth (15`'') of each month.
Husband's obligation to provide the alimony called for herein shall be non-modifiable in duration
or amount. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties agree Husband's alimony shall terminate
absolutely upon either Wife's death or Husband's death. But for the limited alimony called for
herein, neither party shall have any obligation to pay or to receive alimony, spousal support,
alimony pendente lite or other financial support payments.
7. MEDICAL INSURANCE COVERAGE. The parties acknowledge that,
following the entry of a divorce decree, neither party shall be obligated to provide medical
insurance coverage on the other party, and to the extent either party is providing said insurance
coverage for the other party, said coverage shall terminate upon the entry of a divorce decree.
16
8. COUNSEL FEES COSTS AND EXPENSES. Each party shall be
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.
9. WAIVER OF INHERITANCE RIGHTS. Unless otherwise specifically
provided in this Agreement, as of the execution date of this Agreement, Husband and Wife each
waives all rights of inheritance in the estate of the other, any right to elect to take against the will
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.
10. 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.
17
11. 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,
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
18
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
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.
19
12. PRESERVATION OF RECORDS. Each party will keep and preserve
for a period of four (4) 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

Agreement shall be effective unless in writing signed by each of the parties hereto.

shall nevertheless survive and continue in full force and effect without being impaired or
invalidated in any way.
15. 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.
16. 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.

benefits and will report such income to the IRS under the Alternate Payee's name and
