3. Marital Residence. The parties acknowledge that they are the owners of the
property and lot situate at 135 Bryce Road, Camp Hill, PA (hereinafter "Marital Home").
Husband shall become the sole and exclusive owner of the Marital Home and shall be permitted
to take any action with respect thereto that he deems appropriate. Wife hereby waives,
relinquishes and releases any and all past, present or future right, title, claim and/or interest she
may have in and to the Marital Home. Wife shall, at Husband's request, execute a deed
transferring all of her right, title and interest in the Marital Home to Husband, which deed shall
be prepared by Husband's counsel. The parties acknowledge that Wife is not a borrower on the
note secured by the Marital Home and is not legally obligated to repay the existing debt. Wife
agrees that as of the date of execution of this Agreement, any and all title policies and any other
policies of insurance with respect to the Marital Home shall be endorsed to reflect Husband as
the sole owner thereof and further agrees that Husband shall be entitled to receive any payments
now or hereafter due under such insurance policies.
Until November 30, 2008, Husband was solely and exclusively responsible for all costs,
expenses and liabilities associated with or attributable to the Marital Home, including, but not
limited to, any mortgages, any and all home equity loans or lines of credit, taxes, insurance
premiums, maintenance and repairs, consistent with the terms of the parties' agreement and
actions since January 2007. Husband shall keep Wife and her successors, assigns, heirs,
executors and administrators indemnified and held harmless from any liability, costs or expense,
including actual attorneys fees, which may be incurred in connection with such liabilities and
expenses or resulting from Husband's ownership interest in the Marital Home.
Beginning on December 1, 2008, Husband shall be solely and exclusively responsible for
the mortgage, real estate taxes, homeowners insurance, home security system, sewer and water
expenses associated with or attributable to the Marital Home. Wife shall be solely and
exclusively responsible for any and all other expenses and liabilities associated with or
attributable to the Marital Home, including utility costs, for the entire time period during which
she resides in the Marital Home after November 30, 2008. Wife shall have the sole and
exclusive right to reside in the Marital Home from the date of execution of this Agreement until
February 28, 2009, or the date upon which Wife vacates the Marital Home, whichever first
occurs. Wife shall keep Husband and his successors, assigns, heirs, executors and administrators
indemnified and held harmless from any liability, costs or expense, including actual attorneys
fees, which may be incurred in connection with such liabilities and expenses or resulting from
Wife's ownership interest in the Marital Home.
Both parties acknowledge and agree that despite their intentions to implement this
February
Agreement prior to November 30, 2008, the Agreement was not executed until Tan 2009.
Husband and Wife agree that Husband paid certain expenses for Wife, for which Wife will
reimburse him, and Wife incurred certain expenses for which Husband will reimburse her.
Instead of making payments back and forth for reimbursement of expenses, the parties shall
6
determine the entire amount owed from Husband to Wife for expenses, the entire amount owed
from Wife to Husband for expenses, and offset that net amount against the alimony payments
owed to Wife by Husband pursuant to Paragraph 17 of this Agreement. As an example, if the
total reimbursement for expenses owed by Wife to Husband is three thousand ($3,000) dollars
and the total reimbursement for expenses owed by Husband to Wife is two thousand ($2,000)
dollars, the net amount of one thousand ($1,000) dollars owed by Wife to Husband will be offset
against the alimony payments owed to Wife by Husband for December 2008 and January 2009.
4. Gettysburg Road Property. The parties acknowledge that Husband is the owner
of the property and lot situate at 3600 Old Gettysburg Road, Camp Hill, PA (hereinafter
"Gettysburg Road Property"). Husband shall remain the sole and exclusive owner of the
Gettysburg Road Property and shall be permitted to take any action with respect thereto that he
deems appropriate. Wife hereby waives, relinquishes and releases any and all past, present or
future right, title, claim and/or interest she may have in and to the Gettysburg Road Property.
Wife agrees that as of the date of execution of this Agreement, any and all title policies and any
other policies of insurance with respect to the Gettysburg Road Property shall be endorsed to
reflect Husband as the sole owner thereof and further agrees that Husband shall be entitled to
receive any payments now or hereafter due under such insurance policies.
Husband shall be solely and exclusively responsible for all costs, expenses and liabilities
associated with or attributable to the Gettysburg Road Property, including, but not limited to, any
mortgages, any and all home equity loans or lines of credit, taxes, insurance premiums,
maintenance and repairs. Husband warrants that Wife is not an obligor or guarantor of any
7
i t
mortgages, lines of credit, business loans or equipment loans associated with the Gettysburg
Road Property or Beaudry Oral Surgery. Husband shall keep Wife and her successors, assigns,
heirs, executors and administrators indemnified and held harmless from any liability, costs or
expense, including actual attorneys fees, which may be incurred in connection with such
liabilities and expenses or resulting from Husband's ownership interest in the Gettysburg Road
Property.
5. Retirement Accounts. The parties acknowledge and agree that they intend to
divide their combined retirement assets, all of which are invested through Merrill Lynch, with
Wife receiving fifty five (55%) percent of the total value of the retirement assets and Husband
receiving forty five (45%) percent of the total value of the retirement assets. Husband shall
retain the IRA account #83730 and Roth IRA account #85038 titled in his name as his sole and
separate property and Wife shall retain the IRA account #86367 and Roth IRA account #85039
titled in her name as her sole and separate property. Husband shall also retain a certain portion of
the assets held in the 401(k) account #5009 titled in his name as his sole and separate property
according to the formula set forth in this Paragraph. Husband shall transfer a certain portion of
the assets held in the 401(k) account #5009 titled in his name to Wife's IRA account #86367
according to the formula set forth in this Paragraph.
The assets to be transferred from Husband's 401(k) account #5009 to Wife's IRA account
#86367 shall be calculated based on the balances of their respective IRA and Roth IRA accounts
on or as close as possible to the date of the 401(k) account transfer. The total value of the sum of
each party's respective IRA and Roth IRA accounts shall first be calculated. Given those values,
the assets held in Husband's 401(k) account shall be divided, in kind, to give Wife fifty five
(55%) percent of the total value of the retirement assets and to give Husband forty five (45%)
percent of the total value of the retirement assets.
As an example, if the total value of the combined retirement assets is six hundred
thousand ($600,000) dollars, Wife should receive total retirement assets valued at three hundred
thirty thousand ($330,000) dollars and Husband should receive total retirement assets valued at
two hundred seventy thousand ($270,000) dollars. If the combined balance of Husband's IRA
and Roth IRA accounts is two hundred thousand ($200,000) dollars, the combined balance of
Wife's IRA and Roth IRA accounts is one hundred thousand ($100,000) dollars and Husband's
401(k) account is valued at three hundred thousand ($300,000) dollars, Wife would receive an
additional two hundred thirty thousand ($230,000) dollars, transferred from Husband's 401(k)
account to Wife's IRA account. Reducing that amount to a percentage of the value of the 401(k)
account, Wife would receive seventy six and 67/100 (76.67%) percent ($230,000 divided by
$300,000) of the 401(k) assets, transferred in-kind, to her IRA account. The parties acknowledge
and agree that the figures used in this example are for illustrative purposes only.
The retirement assets shall be valued and all necessary transfers made as soon as
reasonably possible after the execution of this Agreement. Husband's counsel shall prepare any
necessary documents required by Merrill Lynch to facilitate the transfer of the parties' retirement
assets. The parties agree that this paragraph shall serve as notice to Merrill Lynch of their intent
and instructions to distribute their retirement accounts as specified herein.
6. Household Goods. The parties acknowledge and agree that they own various
9
l
household goods and items of personal property, which are located in the Marital Home. The
parties agree that the following method of dividing their household goods and personal property
is fair and equitable and that they will engage in the process of dividing their personal property in
good faith. Wife has made a list of the items of personal property from the Marital Home that
she would like to keep and provided a copy of that list to Husband. After Husband received a
copy of Wife's personal property list, he had full and fair access to the Marital Home for
purposes of inspecting and reviewing the household goods and personal property. Husband
prepared a list of the items of personal property from the Marital Home that he would like to
keep and provided a copy of that list to Wife. Each party shall keep the items specified only on
his or her respective list as his or her separate property. The parties shall divide the items
contained on both parties' lists in a manner which they both agree is fair and equitable. The
parties shall dispose of all remaining household goods and personal property (the items neither
party wants to keep) as they mutually agree.
7. Taxes. The parties agree to jointly file their 2008 personal income tax return, as
prepared by William R. Kaufman, CPA, JD. Both parties shall sign the tax return within ten (10)
days of receiving notice from Mr. Kaufinan that it is prepared. Husband shall be solely and
exclusively responsible to pay any tax liability owed for the 2008 tax year. Husband shall
receive the entire amount of any tax refund for the 2008 tax year.
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 for any jointly filed
tax returns, each will indemnify and hold harmless the other from and against any loss or liability
10
S
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 misrepresentations or failures to
disclose the nature and extent of his or her separate income on the aforesaid joint returns.
8. Additional Documentation. The parties agree to execute any deeds,
assignments, titles or other instruments necessary and appropriate to accomplish the aforesaid
division of property.
9. Transfers Subject to Existing Liens. Except as set forth in this Agreement, all
property transferred hereunder is subject to the existing lien or liens set forth above. The
respective transferee of such property agrees to indemnify and save harmless the other party from
any claim or liability that such other party may suffer or may be required to pay on account of
such lien or encumbrance.
10. Representations and Warranties. The parties represent and warrant to each
other that the property described in this Agreement represents all of the property in which they
have any right, title and interest, and that such property is subject to no mortgage, pledge, lien,
security interest, encumbrance or charge except those which are disclosed herein.
11. Equitable Division. By this Agreement the parties have intended to effect an
equitable division of their jointly owned property. The parties have determined that an equitable
division of such property conforms to a just and right standard, with due regard to the rights of
each party. The division of existing marital property is not intended by the parties to constitute in
any way a sale or exchange of assets, and the division is being effected without the introduction
11
of outside funds or other property not constituting a part of the marital estate. It is the intention
of the parties to treat all transfers herein as non-taxable.
12. Relinquishment of Rights. Except as expressly provided herein, Husband
forever relinquishes any right, title or interest he may now or hereafter have in any tangible or
intangible assets now belonging to Wife, and Wife forever relinquishes any right, title or interest
she may now or hereafter have in any tangible or intangible assets now belonging to Husband.
13. After-Acquired Property. Each of the parties shall hereafter own and enjoy
independently of any claim or right of the other, all items of property, be they real, personal or
mixed, tangible or intangible, which are hereafter acquired by him or her, with full power in him
or her to dispose of the same as fully and effectively, in all respects and for all purposes as
though he or she were unmarried.
14. Debts. Husband shall be responsible for the joint debts of the parties.
Husband and Wife shall each be solely responsible for all debts in their respective names,
including but not limited to personal loans, charge accounts and credit cards. Both parties
represent and warrant to the other that as of the date of this Agreement they have not incurred,
and in the future will not contract or incur, any debt or liability for which the other or the estate
of the other might be responsible.
15. Liabilities. All debts, contracts, obligations or liabilities incurred at any time in
the past or future by either party will be paid promptly by said party, unless and except as
otherwise specifically set forth in this Agreement; and each of the parties hereto further promises,
covenants and agrees that each will now and at all times hereafter save harmless and keep the
12
other or his or her estate indemnified and save harmless from all debts or liabilities incurred by
him or her, as the case may be, and from all actions, claims and demands whatsoever with respect
thereto, and from all costs, legal or otherwise, and counsel fees whatsoever pertaining to such
actions, claims and demands. Neither party shall, as of the date of this Agreement, contract nor
incur any debt or liability for which the other or his or her property may be responsible, and shall
indemnify and save harmless the other from any and all claims or demands made against him or
her by reason of debts or obligations incurred by him or her and from all expenses, legal costs,
and counsel fees unless provided to the contrary herein.
16. Counsel Fees, Costs and Expenses. Each party shall be responsible for his or
her own legal fees, costs and expenses incurred in connection with their separation and/or the
dissolution of their marriage.
17. Alimony. Beginning on December 1, 2008, Husband shall pay to Wife the sum of
five thousand ($5,000) Dollars per month for her separate support and maintenance until his
death, her death or remarriage or until the first day of the month in which Wife attains 65 years of
age, whichever shall first occur. It is the intention of the parties that Wife's cohabitation with an
unrelated individual shall be the equivalent of her remarriage for purposes of this paragraph.
For purposes of this Agreement, cohabitation is defined as residing in the same household
for a continuous or cumulative period of ninety (90) days, regardless of whether Wife or the other
individual maintains a separate address or residence. For example, if Wife resides in the same
household with an unrelated individual for a continuous period of ninety (90) days, Husband's
alimony obligation shall end as of the last day of the month in which the ninety (90) day
13
requirement is met. By way of further example, if Wife resides in the same household with
another individual for a period of thirty (30) days, resides by herself for a period of time, then
resides with the same individual for another sixty (60) days, Husband's alimony obligation shall
end as of the last day of the month in which Wife and the other individual resided in the same
household for a cumulative period of ninety (90) days.
Both parties acknowledge and agree that they desire to live separate and apart from each
other, without undue involvement in the other's life. Wife does not want any scrutiny of her
living arrangements by Husband and Husband does not want to be obligated to keep track of
Wife's living arrangements. Therefore, the parties agree that Wife shall have the obligation to
make Husband aware of her living situation if it could reasonably lead to termination of
Husband's alimony obligation pursuant to this remarriage or cohabitation provision. Wife shall
promptly provide written notice to Husband's counsel to document time periods of cohabitation
or remarriage plans, giving Husband reasonable notice of the pending termination of his alimony
obligation. Both parties acknowledge their intent to comply with this remarriage or cohabitation
provision in good faith. In the event that Husband overpays his alimony obligation to Wife, Wife
shall promptly reimburse Husband in full for any and all alimony payments she received in
excess of Husband's required payments pursuant to this Paragraph.
The parties agree that none of their obligations under the terms of this Agreement are
intended to be a debt which is affected by a discharge in bankruptcy. They further specifically
intend that Husband's alimony obligations under the terms of this Agreement shall be non
dischargeable and not subject to discharge in bankruptcy because they acknowledge that, based
14
(. .
upon the respective incomes, assets and needs of the parties and their households, such are
necessary for Wife to meet her financial obligations and to support and maintain her standard of
living. Husband represents that there are no bankruptcy proceedings presently pending in which
he is involved. If Husband files for bankruptcy, this Agreement shall constitute conclusive
evidence of the parties' intent that the obligations of this paragraph are in the nature of
maintenance and support, and are not dischargeable under current bankruptcy law or under any
amendment thereto.
18. Tax Ramifications of Alimony. The parties agree that the entire amount being
paid to Wife pursuant to Paragraph 14 of this Agreement is a separate maintenance periodic
payment, included and intended to be included with the income of Wife within the meaning and
intent of Section 71 of the United States Internal Revenue Code-Qf 1954 and deductible from the
Husband's gross income pursuant to the provisions of Section 215 of the United States Internal
Revenue Code of 1954. Wife agrees that all said payments shall be included as income to Wife
in her applicable tax returns and that she shall pay such taxes as may be required by reason of
such inclusion. The parties acknowledge and agree that since they are filing a joint personal
income tax return for 2008, Husband's alimony payment to Wife for December 2008 will not be
deductible for Husband for tax purposes or included as income for Wife for tax purposes.
This Agreement has been negotiated and executed under the assumption that the
payments for alimony to Wife shall be deductible by Husband. If, as a result of a binding
determination to the contrary or because of some subsequent change in the governing law or its
authoritative interpretation, the payments or any part of the payments will no longer be
15
l ? i
deductible by Husband, then the sums payable by Husband to Wife under Paragraph 14 of this
Agreement shall be reduced by the amount of his increased tax obligation.
19. Non-Modification of Alimony. The parties agree that the alimony provision
takes into account the parties' overall economic circumstances including the equitable
distribution of property herein and so shall not be subject to modification by any court
20. Life Insurance. Wife shall be named as sole irrevocable beneficiary of life
insurance benefits insuring Husband's life in the amount of five hundred thousand ($500,000)
dollars until Husband's alimony commitment to Wife is terminated pursuant to the terms of
Paragraph 14 of this Agreement. Husband shall pay all required premiums to maintain the
insurance coverage on his life with Wife as the beneficiary as required by this Paragraph.
Husband shall pay all required premiums to maintain the life insurance coverage totaling
one million ($1,000,000) dollars on Wife's life until Husband's alimony commitment to Wife is
terminated pursuant to the terms of Paragraph 14 of this Agreement. Husband shall be named as
the sole irrevocable beneficiary of life insurance benefits insuring Wife's life in the amount of
five hundred thousand ($500,000) dollars until Husband's alimony commitment to Wife is
terminated pursuant to the terms of Paragraph 14 of this Agreement.
21. Full Disclosure. The respective parties do hereby warrant, represent and declare
and do acknowledge and agree that each is and has been fully and completely informed of and is
familiar with and cognizant of the wealth, real and/or personal property, estate and assets,
earnings and income of the other and that each has made a full and complete disclosure to the
other of his or her entire assets and liabilities and any further enumeration or statement thereof in
16
this Agreement is specifically waived.
The parties acknowledge and agree that during the course of their divorce proceedings,
Husband disclosed to Wife and her counsel documents and information regarding the financial
position of his oral surgery practice, including but not limited to, loan documents, financial
account information, retirement account information, accounting statements, balance sheets and
profit and loss statements. Husband and Wife agree that any documents and information
provided in the course of their divorce proceedings and mediation sessions shall not be divulged
or disclosed to any individuals or entities other than the parties, their counsel and the mediator
and shall be kept and maintained strictly confidential.
22. Releases. Each party does hereby remise, release, quitclaim and forever discharge
the other and the estate of the other from any and every claim that each other may now have, or
hereafter have or can have at any time, against the other, or in and to or against the other's estate,
or any part thereof, whether arising out of any former contracts, engagements or liabilities of the
other, or by way of dower or claim in the nature of dower, widow's rights, or under the intestate
laws, or the right to take against each other's will, or for support or maintenance, or of any other
nature whatsoever, except any rights accruing under this Agreement.
23. Indemnification. Each party represents and warrants to the other that he or she
has not incurred any debt, obligation, or other liability, other than described in this Agreement,
on which the other party is or may be liable. Each party covenants and agrees that if any claim,
action or proceeding is hereinafter initiated seeking to hold the other party liable for any other
debts, obligations, liability, act or omission of such party, such party will at his or her sole
17
expense, defend the other against any such claim or demand, whether or not well-founded, and
that he or she will indemnify and hold harmless the other party in respect of all damages as
resulting therefrom. Damages as used herein shall include any claim, action, demand, loss, cost,
expense, penalty, and other damage, including without limitation, counsel fees and other costs
and expenses reasonably incurred in investigating or attempting to avoid same or in opposing the
imposition thereof or enforcing this indemnity, resulting to Husband or Wife from any inaccurate
representation made by or on behalf of either Husband or Wife to the other in this Agreement,
any breach of any of the warranties made by Husband or Wife in this Agreement, or breach or
default in performance by Husband or Wife of any of the obligations to be performed by such
party hereunder. The Husband or Wife agrees to give the other prompt written notice of any
litigation threatened or instituted against either party which might constitute the basis for a claim
for indemnity pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.
24. General Provisions. 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.
25. Fair and Equitable Contents. The provisions of this Agreement and their legal
effect have been fully explained to the parties by their respective counsel. Each party
acknowledges that he or she has received independent legal advice from counsel of his or her
selection and that each fully understands the facts and has been fully informed as to his or her
legal rights and obligations. Each party acknowledges and accepts that this Agreement is, under
the circumstances, fair and equitable, and that it is being entered into freely and voluntarily after

L L ? y
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

of any of his or her material obligations under this Agreement, the other party shall have the
right, at his or her election, to sue for damages for breach thereof, to sue for specific
performance, or to seek any other legal remedies as may be available, and the defaulting party
