molest the other, nor compel the other to cohabit with the other, or in any way harass or malign

and undertakings hereinafter set forth and for other good and valuable consideration, the 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. 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 control by the other,
as fully as if he or she were single and married, 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.
The foregoing provision shall not be an admission on the part of either party of the lawfulness or
unlawfulness of the causes leading to their separation. A reconciliation will not void the
provisions of this agreement.
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 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 teim of this Agreement, whether
or not either or both of the parties shall remarry, it being understood by and between the parties
hereto that this Agreement shall be incorporated in but 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
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 to
be forever binding and conclusive upon the parties.
2. EFFECTIVE DATE. The effective date of this Agreement shall be the "date of
execution" or "execution date", 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 d~fmed as the date of execution by the party last
executing this Agreement. Transfer of property, funds and/or documents shall occur on the
effective date unless otherwise specified herein.
3. AGREEMENT NOT A BAR TO DIVORCE This~Agreement shall not be
considered to affect or bar the right of either party to a divorce on lawful grounds as may be now
or hereafter available to either party. This Agreement is not intended to be and shall not be a
condonation on the part of either party of any act or acts of either party hereto. Both parties
hereto agree that the marriage is irretrievably broken and agree at the time of execution hereof to
execute any and all affidavits or other documents necessary for the parties to obtain an absolute
divorce pursuant to Section 3301(c) of the Divorce Code. Each party waives the right to request
Court ordered counseling.

of the debts identified to be paid by him or her. Each party hereto agrees to indemnify and hold

the parties, and there are no representations, warranties, covenants or undertakings other than
those expressly set forth herein.
15. DESCRIPTIVE HEADINGS. The descriptive headings used herein are for
