WHEREAS, Husband and Wife are residents of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and
have been so for at least the past six months;
WHEREAS, certain differences have arisen between the parties hereto which have made

WHEREAS, Husband and Wife desire to settle and determine certain of their marital
rights and obligations, and make an equitable distribution of their marital property, determine

WHEREAS, the parties hereto have mutually entered into an agreement for the division
of their jointly owned assets, the provisions for the liabilities they owe, and provisions for the
resolution of their mutual differences, after both have had full and ample opportunity to consult
with attorneys of their respective choice, the parties now wish to have that agreement reduced to
writing.
NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereto in consideration of the mutually made and to be

to be legally bound and to legally bind their heirs, successors, assigns, and personal
representatives, do hereby covenant, promise and agree as follows:
ARTICLE I
SEPARATION
1.1
It shall be lawful for Husband and Wife at all times hereafter to 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. The foregoing provisions shall not be taken to be
an admission on the part of either Husband or Wife of the lawfulness of the causes leading to
them living separate and apart.
ARTICLE II
DIVORCE
2.1
This Agreement is not predicated on divorce. It is specifically understood and agreed by
and between the parties hereto that each of the said parties does hereby warrant and represent to
--Page 2 of 17--
the other that the execution and delivery of this Agreement is not predicated upon nor made
subject to any agreement for institution, prosecution, defense, or for the non-prosecution or non-
defense of any action for divorce; provided, however, that nothing contained in this Agreement
shall prevent or preclude either of the parties hereto from commencing, instituting or prosecuting
any action or actions for divorce, either absolute or otherwise, upon just, legal and proper
grounds; not to prevent either party from defending any such action which has been, may, or shall
be instituted by the other party, or from making any just or proper defense thereto. It is
warranted, covenanted, and represented by Husband and Wife, each to the other, that this
Agreement is lawful and enforceable and this warranty, covenant, and representation is made for
the specific purpose of inducing Husband and Wife to execute the Agreement. Husband and
Wife each knowingly and understandingly hereby waive any and all possible claims that this
Agreement is, for any reason, illegal, or for any reason whatsoever of public policy,
unenforceable in whole or in part. Husband and Wife do each hereby warrant, covenant and
agree that, in any possible event, he and she are and shall forever be estopped from asserting any
illegality or unenforceability as to all or any part of this Agreement.
2.2
It is further specifically understood and agreed that the provision of this Agreement
relating to the equitable distribution of property of the parties are accepted by each party as a
final settlement for all purposes whatsoever. Should either of the parties obtain a decree,
judgment or order of separation or divorce in any other state, country, or jurisdiction, each of the
parties to this Agreement hereby consents and agrees that this Agreement and all its covenants
shall not be affected in any way by any such separation and divorce.
--Page 3 of 17--
2.3
This Agreement shall survive any decree in divorce and shall be forever binding and
conclusive on the parties. It is understood by and between the parties that this Agreement shall
be incorporated into any decree, divorce or separation, but it shall not be deemed merged in such

his appointment, Wife's attorney will file all the remaining documents necessary to secure the
entry of the Divorce Decree.

relief, he or she agrees that any such claims have been fully resolved by virtue of this Agreement,
and he or she shall withdraw any such claims and, if necessary, shall take such further steps as
may be necessary to allow for a prompt finalization of any divorce action between the parties.
