It-r
(Initials)
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises, set forth herein
and for other good and valuable considerations, Wife and Husband, each intending to be
legally bound hereby agrees as follows:
SECTION II
GENERAL PROVISIONS
1. DISCLOSURE AND WAIVER OF PROCEDURAL RIGHTS
Each party understands that he or she has the right: (1) to obtain from the other
party a complete inventory or list of the property that either or both parties own at this
time or owned as of the date of separation; (2) to have all such property valued by means
of appraisals or otherwise; (3) to compulsory discovery to assist in the discovery and
verification of facts relevant to their respective rights and obligations, including the right
to question the other party under oath; and (4) to have a Court hold hearings and make
decisions on the matters covered in this Agreement, which Court decision concerning the
parties' respective rights and obligations might be different from the provisions of this
Agreement. Given said understanding and acknowledgment, both parties hereby waive
the foregoing procedural rights.
2. SEPARATION
It shall be lawful for each party, at all times hereafter, to live separate and apart
from the other, at such place or places as he or she may, from time to time, choose or
deem fit. Each party shall be free from interference, authority, or contract by the other, as
fully as if he or she were single and unmarried, except as may be necessary to carry out
the provisions of this Agreement. Neither party shall molest the other or attempt to
endeavor to molest the other, nor compel the other to cohabit with the other, or in any
way harass or malign the other, nor in any way interfere with the peaceful existence,
separate and apart from the other.
Should a Decree, Judgment, or Order of separation or divorce be obtained by
either of the parties in this or any other state, country or jurisdiction, each of the parties
~/J. (}-
~
2
fir
(Initials)
hereby consents and agrees that this Agreement and all of its covenants shall not be
affected in any way by any such separation or divorce; and that nothing in any such
Decree, Judgment, Order or further modification or revision thereof shall alter, amend or
vary any term ofthis Agreement, whether or not either or both the parties shall remarry, it
being understood by and between the parties hereto, that this Agreement shall survive and
shall not be merged into any Decree, Judgment, or Order of divorce or separation. It is
specifically agreed however, that a copy of this Agreement or the substance of the
provisions thereof, may be incorporated by reference into any Order of divorce, Judgment
or Decree. This incorporation, however, shall not be regarded as a merger, it being the
specific intent of the parties to permit this Agreement to survive any Judgment and be
forever binding and conclusive upon the parties. This agreement shall survive any such
final decree of 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 complaint.
3. MUTUAL CONSENT DIVORCE
The parties intend to secure a no fault divorce pursuant to the provisions of
3301(d) of the Pennsylvania Divorce Code of 1980, as amended and will execute the
documents necessary to effectuate a divorce under those provisions.
4. 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.
5. DATE OF EXECUTION
The "date of execution" or "execution date" ofthis 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
~
3
Iff
(Initials)
this Agreement shall be defined as the date of execution by the party last executing this
Agreement.
6. ADVICE OF COUNSEL
The provisions of this Agreement and their legal effect have been fully explained
to Wife by her attorney, Debra R. Mehaffie, Esquire and to Husband by his attorney,
Ruth Slamon Borland, Esquire. The parties acknowledge that they fully understand the
facts and have been fully informed as to their legal rights and obligations, and they
acknowledge and accept that this Agreement is, in the circumstances, fair and equitable
and that it is being entered into freely and voluntarily, after having received such advice
and 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 collusion or improper or
illegal agreement or agreements.
7. FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE
The parties confirm that each has relied on the substantial accuracy of the
financial disclosure of the other as an inducement to the execution of this Agreement, and
each party acknowledges that there has been a full and fair disclosure of the parties'
marital assets and debts and the parties' respective incomes, which has been provided to
each party.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the rights of either party to pursue a claim for
equitable distribution, pursuant to the Pennsylvania Divorce Code, of any interest owed
by the other party in an asset of any nature at any time prior to the date of execution of
this Agreement that was not disclosed to the other party or his or her counsel prior to the
date of the within Agreement is expressly reserved. In the event that either party, at any
time hereafter, discovers such an undisclosed asset, the parties shall have the right to
petition the Court of Common Please of Cumberland County to make equitable
distribution of said asset.

(Initials)
8. TAX PROVISIONS
The parties believe and agree, and have been so advised, Wife by her counsel,
Husband by his counsel, that the division of property heretofore made by this Agreement
is a non-taxable division of property between co-owners rather than a taxable sale or
exchange of such property. Each party promises not take any position with respect to the
adjusted basis of the property assigned to him or her or with respect to any other issue
which is inconsistent with the position set for in the preceding sentence on his or her
federal or state income tax returns.
The parties have heretofore filed joint federal and state tax returns. Both parties
agree that in the event any deficiency in federal, state or local income tax is proposed, or
any assessment of any such tax is made against either of them, each will indemnify and
hold harmless the other from and against any loss or liability for any such tax deficiency
or assessment and any interest, penalty and expense incurred in connection therewith.
Such tax, interest, penalty or expense shall be paid solely and entirely by the individual
who is finally determined to be the cause of the misrepresentation or failures to disclose
the nature and extent of his or her separate income on the aforesaid joint returns.
Husband and Wife hereby agree that Wife may claim Nicole E. Jolley, born
October 17, 1988, and Heather E. Jolley, born November 11, 1990, as dependents on her
2006 tax return and thereafter until they are no longer dependents.
9. MUTUAL RELEASE:
Husband and Wife do hereby mutually remise, release, quit-claim or forever
discharge the other and estate of such other, for all time to come, and for all purposes
whatsoever, from any and all rights, title and interest, or claims in or against the estate of
such other, or whatever nature and wherever situate, which he or she now has or at any
time hereafter may have against such other, the estate of such other or any party thereof,
whether arising out of any former acts, contracts, engagements, or liabilities of such other
or by way of dower or curtesy, of claims in the nature of dower or curtesy, or widow's or

(Initials)
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 or a surviving spouse to participate in a
deceased spouse's estate, whether arising under the United States, or any other country;
or any rights which either party may now have or at any time hereafter have for the past,
present, or future support or maintenance, alimony, alimony pendente lite, counsel fees,
costs or expenses, whether arising as a result of the marital relation or otherwise, except
all rights and agreements and obligations of whatsoever nature arising or which may arise
under this Agreement or for the breach of any provision thereof.
It is the intention of Husband and Wife to give to each other, by the execution of
this Agreement, a full, complete and general release with respect to any and all property
of any kind or nature, real, personal, or mixed, which the other now owns or may
hereafter acquire, except, and only except, all rights and agreements and obligations of
whatsoever nature arising or which may arise under this Agreement or for the breach of
any provision thereof.
10. PRESERVATION OF RECORD
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 tax audits.
11. 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.
12. REMEDIES IN THE EVENT OF A BREACH
Any party breaching this Agreement shall be liable to the other part of all costs,
including reasonable counsel fees incurred by the non-breaching party to enforce his or
(ytf
6
fiT
(Initials)
her rights under the provisions of this Agreement subsequent to the date of execution of
this Agreement, regardless of whether litigation is instituted. In the event of a default of
any provision of this Agreement by one of the parties, the remedies available to the other
are cumulative and include all remedies at law and in equity, including those for breach
of contact, under theories or equity, as if this Agreement had been an Order of Court, and
shall not be limited to those remedies specifically referred to in this Agreement.

and for other good and valuable considerations, Wife and Husband, each intending to be
legally bound hereby agrees as follows:
SECTION II
GENERAL PROVISIONS
1. DISCLOSURE AND WAIVER OF PROCEDURAL RIGHTS
Each party understands that he or she has the right: (1) to obtain from the other
party a complete inventory or list of the property that either or both parties own at this
time or owned as of the date of separation; (2) to have all such property valued by means
of appraisals or otherwise; (3) to compulsory discovery to assist in the discovery and
verification of facts relevant to their respective rights and obligations, including the right
to question the other party under oath; and (4) to have a Court hold hearings and make
decisions on the matters covered in this Agreement, which Court decision concerning the
parties' respective rights and obligations might be different from the provisions of this
Agreement. Given said understanding and acknowledgment, both parties hereby waive
the foregoing procedural rights.
2. SEPARATION
It shall be lawful for each party, at all times hereafter, to live separate and apart
from the other, at such place or places as he or she may, from time to time, choose or
deem fit. Each party shall be free from interference, authority, or contract by the other, as
fully as if he or she were single and unmarried, except as may be necessary to carry out
the provisions of this Agreement. Neither party shall molest the other or attempt to
endeavor to molest the other, nor compel the other to cohabit with the other, or in any
way harass or malign the other, nor in any way interfere with the peaceful existence,
separate and apart from the other.
Should a Decree, Judgment, or Order of separation or divorce be obtained by
either of the parties in this or any other state, country or jurisdiction, each of the parties
Ox/{ f1-
~
2
fff
(Initials)
hereby consents and agrees that this Agreement and all of its covenants shall not be
affected in any way by any such separation or divorce; and that nothing in any such
Decree, Judgment, Order or further modification or revision thereof shall alter, amend or
vary any term ofthis Agreement, whether or not either or both the parties shall remarry, it
being understood by and between the parties hereto, that this Agreement shall survive and
shall not be merged into any Decree, Judgment, or Order of divorce or separation. It is
specifically agreed however, that a copy of this Agreement or the substance of the
provisions thereof, may be incorporated by reference into any Order of divorce, Judgment
or Decree. This incorporation, however, shall not be regarded as a merger, it being the
specific intent of the parties to permit this Agreement to survive any Judgment and be
forever binding and conclusive upon the parties. This agreement shall survive any such
final decree of 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 complaint.
3. MUTUAL CONSENT DIVORCE
The parties intend to secure a no fault divorce pursuant to the provisions of
3301(d) of the Pennsylvania Divorce Code of 1980, as amended and will execute the
documents necessary to effectuate a divorce under those provisions.
4. 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.
5. 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
~
3
lif
(Initials)
this Agreement shall be defined as the date of execution by the party last executing this
Agreement.
6. ADVICE OF COUNSEL
The provisions of this Agreement and their legal effect have been fully explained
to Wife by her attorney, Debra R. Mehaffie, Esquire and to Husband by his attorney,
Ruth Slamon Borland, Esquire. The parties acknowledge that they fully understand the
facts and have been fully informed as to their legal rights and obligations, and they
acknowledge and accept that this Agreement is, in the circumstances, fair and equitable
and that it is being entered into freely and voluntarily, after having received such advice
and 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 collusion or improper or
illegal agreement or agreements.
7. FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE
The parties confirm that each has relied on the substantial accuracy of the
financial disclosure of the other as an inducement to the execution of this Agreement, and
each party acknowledges that there has been a full and fair disclosure of the parties'
marital assets and debts and the parties' respective incomes, which has been provided to
each party.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the rights of either party to pursue a claim for
equitable distribution, pursuant to the Pennsylvania Divorce Code, of any interest owed
by the other party in an asset of any nature at any time prior to the date of execution of
this Agreement that was not disclosed to the other party or his or her counsel prior to the
date of the within Agreement is expressly reserved. In the event that either party, at any
time hereafter, discovers such an undisclosed asset, the parties shall have the right to
petition the Court of Common Please of Cumberland County to make equitable
distribution of said asset.

(Initials)
8. TAX PROVISIONS
The parties believe and agree, and have been so advised, Wife by her counsel,
Husband by his counsel, that the division of property heretofore made by this Agreement
is a non-taxable division of property between co-owners rather than a taxable sale or
exchange of such property. Each party promises not take any position with respect to the
adjusted basis of the property assigned to him or her or with respect to any other issue
which is inconsistent with the position set for in the preceding sentence on his or her
federal or state income tax returns.
The parties have heretofore filed joint federal and state tax returns. Both parties
agree that in the event any deficiency in federal, state or local income tax is proposed, or
any assessment of any such tax is made against either of them, each will indemnify and
hold harmless the other from and against any loss or liability for any such tax deficiency
or assessment and any interest, penalty and expense incurred in connection therewith.
Such tax, interest, penalty or expense shall be paid solely and entirely by the individual
who is finally determined to be the cause of the misrepresentation or failures to disclose
the nature and extent of his or her separate income on the aforesaid joint returns.
Husband and Wife hereby agree that Wife may claim Nicole E. Jolley, born
October 17, 1988, and Heather E. Jolley, born November 11, 1990, as dependents on her
2006 tax return and thereafter until they are no longer dependents.
9. MUTUAL RELEASE:
Husband and Wife do hereby mutually remise, release, quit-claim or forever
discharge the other and estate of such other, for all time to come, and for all purposes
whatsoever, from any and all rights, title and interest, or claims in or against the estate of
such other, or whatever nature and wherever situate, which he or she now has or at any
time hereafter may have against such other, the estate of such other or any party thereof,
whether arising out of any former acts, contracts, engagements, or liabilities of such other
or by way of dower or curtesy, of claims in the nature of dower or curtesy, or 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 or a surviving spouse to participate in a
deceased spouse's estate, whether arising under the United States, or any other country;
or any rights which either party may now have or at any time hereafter have for the past,
present, or future support or maintenance, alimony, alimony pendente lite, counsel fees,
costs or expenses, whether arising as a result of the marital relation or otherwise, except
all rights and agreements and obligations of whatsoever nature arising or which may arise
under this Agreement or for the breach of any provision thereof.
It is the intention of Husband and Wife to give to each other, by the execution of
this Agreement, a full, complete and general release with respect to any and all property
of any kind or nature, real, personal, or mixed, which the other now owns or may
hereafter acquire, except, and only except, all rights and agreements and obligations of
whatsoever nature arising or which may arise under this Agreement or for the breach of
any provision thereof.
10. PRESERVATIONOFRECORD
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 tax audits.
11. 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
