TODD EMANUEL
WITNESSETH:
WHEREAS, Husband and Wife were lawfully married on January 1,1995; and
WHEREAS, there are no children born of this marriage; 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 represented
in this proceeding by Linda A. Clotfelter, Esquire and Husband has been unrepresented, but
understands that he has the right to have independent legal representation in this matter.
Husband has knowingly and willingly decided not to seek independent legal counsel in this
matter, despite Wife's encouragement to do so. The parties represent and warrant that they have
fully disclosed to each other all assets of any nature owned by each, all debts or obligations for
which the other party may be liable in whole or in part, and all sources and amounts of income.
WHEREAS, 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
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.
WHEREAS, diverse unhappy differences, disputes and difficulties have arisen between
the parties and it is the intention of Wife and Husband to live separate and apart for the rest of
their natural lives, 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:
the ownership and equitable distribution of marital property; the past, present and future support,
and/or maintenance of Wife by Husband; and, in general, any and all claims and possible claims
by one against the other or against their respective estates.
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-
1. PERSONAL RIGHTS:
Wife and Husband may and shall, at all times hereafter, live separate and apart. They
shall be free from any contact, restraint, interference or authority, direct or indirect, by the other
in all respects as fully as if they were unmarried. Each may, for his or her separate use or benefit,
conduct, carryon and engage in any business, occupation, profession or employment which to
him or her may seem advisable. Wife and Husband shall not molest, harass, disturb or malign
each other or the respective families of each other nor compel or attempt to compel the other to
cohabit or dwell by any means whatsoever with him or her.
2. WAIVER OF RIGHTS AND 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 arnendments, 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 or liabilities of 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 of 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
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
2
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.

The parties have disclosed to each other and they are each aware of the extent of each
other's income, assets, liabilities, holdings and estate.

DIVORCE DECREE:
In the event that either of the parties shall recover a final judgment or decree of absolute
divorce against the other in a court of competent jurisdiction, the provisions of this Agreement
may be incorporated by reference or in substance but shall not be deemed merged into such
judgment or decree. This agreement shall survive any such final judgment or decree of absolute
divorce, shall be entirely independent thereof, and the parties intend that all obligations
contained herein shall retain their contractual nature in any enforcement proceedings, whether
enforcement is sought in an action on the contract itself or in any enforcement action filed to the
divorce caption.

subject to modification by the court.
Concurrently with the execution of this Agreement, the parties shall sign Affidavits of
Consent and Waivers of Notice of Intention to Request Entry of Final Divorce Decree. Wife
shall be responsible for filing these documents and finalizing the divorce.
6. DATE OF EXECUTION:
The "date of execution" or "execution date" of this Agreement shall be defined as the date
upon which it is executed by the parties if they have each executed the Agreement on the same
date. Otherwise, the "date of execution" or "execution date" of this Agreement shall be defined
as the date of execution by the party last executing this Agreement.

The provisions of this Agreement and their legal effect have been fully explained to the
parties by their respective counsel, Linda A. Clotfelter, Esquire, for Wife. Husband has been
apprised of his need for counsel and has waived his right to counsel. The parties acknowledge
that each has been advised of their right to obtain independent legal advice from counsel of their
selection and that they have been fully informed as to their legal rights and obligations, including
3
all rights available to them under the Pennsylvania Divorce Code of 1980, as amended, and other
applicable laws. Each party confirms that he or she fully understands the terms, conditions and
provisions of this Agreement and believes them to be fair, just, adequate and reasonable under
the existing circumstances.

that the Agreement is fair and equitable. The parties have reached this Agreement freely and
voluntarily, without any duress, undue influence, collusion or improper or illegal agreements.
9. WAIVER OR MODIFICATION TO BE IN WRITING:
No modification or waiver of any of the terms hereof shall be valid unless in writing and
signed by both parties and no waiver or any breach hereof or default hereunder shall be deemed a
waiver of any subsequent default of the same or similar nature. Notwithstanding this provision,

relating to child support or to custody shall be subject to modification by the Court upon a
showing of changed circumstances.

effectuation of this Agreement.

14. NO WAIVER OF DEFAULT:
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 any of the provisions of this Agreement shall in no way affect the right of such
party hereafter to enforce the same, nor shall the waiver of any breach of any provision hereof be
construed as a waiver of any subsequent default of the same or similar nature, nor shall the
waiver of any breach of any provision hereof be construed as a waiver of strict performance of
any other obligations herein.
15. SEVERABILITY AND INDEPENDENT AND SEPARATE COVENANTS:
The parties agree that each separate obligation contained in this Agreement shall be
deemed to be a separate and independent covenant and agreement. If any term, condition, clause

otherwise, then only that term, condition, clause or provision shall be stricken from this
Agreement and in all other respects this Agreement shall be valid and continue in full force,
effect and operation. Likewise, the failure of any party to meet her or his obligations under any
one or more of the paragraphs herein, with the exception of the satisfaction of any conditions
