SECTION I
GENERAL PROVISIONS
1. ADVICE OF COUNSEL
HUSBAND and WIFE declare that they have each had a full and fair opportunity to
obtain independent legal advice of counsel of their selection. WIFE has been independently
represented by Barbara Sumple-Sullivan, Esquire. HUSBAND had been independently
represented by James W. Abraham, Esquire. Each party acknowledges that this Agreement is
fair and equitable and is not the result of any fraud, coercion, duress, undue influence or
collusion.
Both parties further acknowledge and agree that each has fully disclosed their respective
financial situations to the other, including their assets, liabilities and income. Each of the parties
acknowledge and agree that, after having received such information and with such knowledge,
this Agreement is fair, reasonable and equitable and that it is being entered into freely,
voluntarily and in good faith and that the execution of this Agreement is not the result of any
duress, undue influence, coercion, collusion and/or improper or illegal Agreement.
06/18/2007 2
2. PERSONAL RIGHTS
HUSBAND and WIFE may and shall, at all times hereafter, live separate and apart. Each
shall be free from all control, restraint, interference or authority, direct or indirect, by the other in
all respects as if she or he were unmarried, except as may be necessary to carry out the provisions
of this Agreement. Each may reside at such place or places as she or he may select. Each may,
for his or her separate use or benefit, conduct, carry on and engage in any business, occupation,
profession or employment which to him or her may seem advisable. This provision shall not be
taken, however, to be an admission on the part of either HUSBAND or WIFE of the lawfulness
of the causes which led to, or resulted in, the continuation of their living apart. HUSBAND and
WIFE shall not molest, harass, or malign the other or the respective families of each other, nor
compel the other to cohabit or dwell in any manner with him or her, nor in any way interfere with
the peaceful existence, separate from each other.
3. FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE

liabilities, holdings and estate. Each party warrants that the information provided has fully and
accurately described the extent of his or her holdings. Each of the parties acknowledge that he or

interrogatories, motions for document production, depositions, and other means of discovery
available through the Pennsylvania Rules of Civil Procedure. The parties acknowledge that they
have had the right to have property fully appraised. Each party is fully satisfied that no additional
information is necessary for the execution of this Agreement.
06/18/2007 3
4. MUTUAL CONSENT DIVORCE
The parties intend to secure a mutual consent, no fault divorce pursuant to the provisions
of Section 3301(c) of the Divorce Code of 1980, as amended and will execute the documents
necessary to effectuate a divorce under those provisions concurrently with the execution of this
Agreement.
The parties agree that the Affidavits of Consent and the Waivers of Notice shall be signed
simultaneously with the execution of this Agreement.
5. SUBSEQUENT DIVORCE
A decree in divorce, entered by the court of Cumberland County, shall not suspend,
supersede or affect the terms of this Agreement. This Agreement, and the terms and conditions
contained herein, as well as the enforcement of said terms and conditions, shall not be contingent
upon the granting of a Divorce Decree to either party by the Court of Common Pleas of
Cumberland County, Pennsylvania, or any other Court of competent jurisdiction. This
Agreement shall remain in full force and effect even if the parties reconcile, cohabit as
HUSBAND and WIFE, or attempt a reconciliation. This Agreement shall continue in full force
and effect and there shall not be a modification or waiver of any of the terms hereof unless the
parties, in a writing signed by both parties, execute a statement declaring this Agreement or any
term of this Agreement to be null and void. Both parties hereto agree that this Agreement shall
be incorporated by reference but shall not be deemed merged into any judgment or decree for
06/18/2007 4
divorce obtained by either party.
6. OTHER DOCUMENTATION
HUSBAND and WIFE covenant and agree that upon request of the other party, they will
forthwith execute and deliver to the other party, any and all written instruments, assignments,
releases, satisfactions, deeds, notes or such other writings as may be necessary or desirable for
the proper effectuation of this Agreement.
7. MUTUAL RELEASES
Except as otherwise expressly provided by this Agreement,
A. 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 may have or at any time hereafter have 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 law of any other jurisdiction, 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 provision thereof. Neither party shall have
any obligation to the other not expressly set forth herein.
B. 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 or otherwise, 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, inheritances or liabilities or the other or by way of dower, curtesy, widow'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 or the United States, or any other
country. It is expressly understood, however, that neither the provisions of this release nor the
subsequent entry of a divorce decree are intended 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
06/18/2007
the beneficiary designation was made prior or subsequent to execution hereof), nor 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 or subsequent to this Agreement.
C. Except for any cause of action for divorce which either party may have or claim to
have, and 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.
8. SUCCESSOR'S RIGHTS AND LIABILITIES
This Agreement shall, except as otherwise provided herein, be binding upon and inure to
the benefit of the parties hereto, their respective heirs, executors, administrators, successors or
assigns.
9. SEVERABILITY
If any provision in this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be
invalid, void, or unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall nevertheless continue in full force
and effect without being impaired or invalidated in any way.
10. ENTIRE AGREEMENT
HUSBAND and WIFE do hereby covenant and warrant that this Agreement contains all
of the representations, promises and 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.
06/18/2007 6
11. BINDING EFFECT OF AGREEMENTIWAIVER
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 the provisions of this
Agreement shall not be construed as a waiver of any subsequent default of the same or similar
nature, nor shall such failure be construed as a waiver of any other term, condition, clause or
provision of this Agreement.
12. BREACH
If either parry breaches any provision of this Agreement, 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, and the party breaching this contract shall be responsible
for payment of reasonable legal fees and costs incurred by the other in enforcing their rights
under this Agreement.
13. CONTROLLING LAW
This Agreement shall be construed and governed in accordance with the laws of the
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
06/18/2007 7
14. TAX RETURNS
The parties agree that in the future if any penalties or interest or any liability for failure to
declare income or the wrongful claiming of any deduction shall be assessed by the United States
Internal Revenue Service or the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, or any other state as a
consequence of the parties' Federal and State income tax returns which were filed jointly by the
parties, said tax, penalties or interest shall be the sole responsibility of the party found to have
made the mistake. The parry responsible for the mistake shall suffer the consequences solely and
hold the opposite party harmless. Each party agrees to hold the other party harmless from any
penalty, interest or liability for such reason arising out of the filing or failure to file any past tax
return. If the liability is the result of a computation error or an error not attributable to the
intentional or grossly negligent conduct of either party, the parties shall share equally in all future
tax liability or tax assessment, penalties and interest.
SECTION II

disposition of which is intended as follows:

maintain said home and reside therein with the minor children. HUSBAND hereby agrees to
convey his interest in the real estate to WIFE upon the condition that WIFE refinances the
existing mortgage debt in her name alone. WIFE has been pre-approved for said refinance.

principal, interest, penalties and costs as well as any mortgages, loans, taxes, insurance and/or
any debts associated with the real estate and shall hold HUSBAND harmless and indemnify

HUSBAND as to any default by WIFE as to said debts and/or any obligations, financial or
otherwise, associated with the real estate. Notwithstanding the above, it is specifically agreed to
by the parties that HUSBAND shall pay to WIFE one-half (1/2) of the 2007-2008 school real
estate taxes. Simultaneously with the execution of this Agreement, HUSBAND agrees to

recorded upon the event of the successful completion of the refinancing of the mortgage debt.

parties agree to disposition of these assets as follows:

gift and/or inheritance and HUSBAND shall maintain sole ownership of said
vehicles. WIFE waives any claims to said vehicles.

a loan due and owing to M&T Credit Services. WIFE shall be the sole owner of

agrees to indemnify and hold HUSBAND harmless for any liability due and
owing on the vehicle loan. HUSBAND agrees to promptly coordinate and
cooperate in the transfer of title to WIFE as may be required.
c) The parties also owned a 2002 Polaris four wheeler and a 1996 Worthington Open
Trailer. Neither of these vehicles are encumbered. HUSBAND shall be the sole
owner of these vehicles and WIFE does hereby waive any and all claims of
ownership to these vehicles.

the time of separation have been liquidated and used to pay marital obligations with their joint
consent. The parties also agree that the Janis Account and the Vanguard Accounts (including the

satisfy marital debt. These accounts will be closed. The parties acknowledge the disposition of
these funds have been agreed to the full satisfaction of the parties. HUSBAND had withdrawn
post separation the sum of Eight Thousand Dollars ($8,000.00) from the Vanguard Funds. Said
funds shall be HUSBAND's sole property and WIFE waives any claim for any portion of these
assets.

policies. However, each party further agrees to name each child as beneficiary of a life insurance
with a minimum benefit value of One Hundred Sixty-six Thousand Six Hundred Sixty-seven
Dollars ($166,667.00) per child. Each policy shall be carried at the sole cost of the owner and
shall remain in full force and effect by each parent until the child reaches the age of twenty-one
(21) years, at which time this obligation for that child shall terminate. It is agreed that while the
child is less than twenty-one (21) years of age, the other party shall be named as trustee for the
benefits of the children up to designated minimum sum of One Hundred Sixty-six Thousand Six
Hundred Sixty-seven Dollars ($166,667.00) so that said parent can utilize this sum for the
06/18/2007 13
support and needs of the children upon the death of the other parent.
2. DEBTS
Each party represents that they have not contracted any debt or liability for the other for
which the estate of the other parry may be responsible or liable except as otherwise provided
herein, and that except only for the rights arising out of this Agreement, neither party will
hereafter incur any liability whatsoever for which the other parry or the estate of the other party
will be liable. Each party agrees to indemnify and hold harmless from and against all future
obligations of every kind incurred by them, including those for necessities.
