construction or effect.
22. 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.
23. MARITAL DEBT: Each party hereby confirms they have not incurred any
additional debt since their separation that has in any way obligated the other party. Neither
party will take any action to incur additional debt of any nature whatsoever in the other party's
name from the date of execution of this Agreement forward.
24. EQUITABLE DISTRIBUTION: It is specifically understood and agreed that
this Agreement constitutes an equitable distribution of property, both real and personal, which
was legally and beneficially acquired by Husband and Wife or either of them during the marriage
as contemplated by The Act of April 2, 1980 (P.L. No. 63, No. 26), known as "The Divorce
Code," 23 P.S. 101 et seq. of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, and as amended.
25. SUMMARY OF EFFECT OF AGREEMENT: It is specifically understood
and agreed by and between the parties hereto, and each party accepts the provisions herein made
7
in lieu of and in full settlement and satisfaction of any and all of the said parties' rights against
the other for any past, present and future claims on account of support, maintenance, alimony,
alimony pendente lite, counsel fees, costs and expenses, equitable distribution of marital property
and any other claims of each party, including all claims raised by them in the divorce action
pending between the parties.
26. RECONCILIATION: The parties shall only effectuate a legal reconciliation
which supersedes this Agreement by their signed agreement containing a specific statement that
they have reconciled and that this Agreement shall be null and void; otherwise, this Agreement
shall remain in full force and effect. Further, the parties may attempt a reconciliation, which
action, if not consummated by the aforesaid agreement, shall not affect in any way the legal
affect of this Agreement or cause any new marital rights or obligations to accrue.
27. SEVERABILITY: If any term, condition, clause or provision of this Agreement
shall be determined or declared to be void or invalid in law or 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
exception of the satisfaction of the conditions precedent, shall in no way void or alter the
remaining obligations of the parties.
28. 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 it be construed as a waiver of strict performance of any other obligations
herein.
29. INTEGRATION: This Agreement constitutes the entire understanding of the
parties and supersedes any and all prior agreements and negotiations between them. There are
no representations or warranties other than those expressly set forth herein. This Agreement
shall survive integration by any court into any judgment for divorce and shall continue to have
independent legal significance as a written contract separate from such judgment for divorce and
may be enforced as an independent contract.
30. EFFECT OF DIVORCE DECREE: The parties agree that unless otherwise
specifically provided herein, this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect after such
time as a final Decree in Divorce may be entered with respect to the parties.
8
31. 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 of any breach hereof or default hereunder shall be deemed a waiver of any subsequent
default of the same or similar nature.
32. WAIVER OF CLAIMS. 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.
33. NOTICES: Any and all notices given hereunder shall be in writing and shall be
sent to:
a. To Husband in care of Debra R. Mehaffie, Esquire, 2000 Linglestown
Road, Suite 106, Harrisburg, PA 17110.

34. AGREEMENT BINDING ON HEIRS: This Agreement shall be binding and

administrators, successors and assigns.
35. This agreement shall become effective immediately upon its execution by both
parties.
