   5. They entered into this Agreement freely and under no duress or undue influence on their decision by the other Party.
      
9. The Parties acknowledge that this Agreement will continue upon termination of marriage whether by death, divorce, or otherwise.
   

NOW THEREFORE in consideration of the upcoming marriage, and in consideration of the mutual promises and covenants contained in this Agreement, the Parties agree as follows:

1. PROPERTY
   
1. The Parties acknowledge that this Agreement will govern any determination of ownership of property that may occur in the event of the Parties separating, or upon the death of a Party.
   
2. All jointly acquired or jointly held property and the property listed in the attached Schedule "A", however and whenever acquired, will remain the property of and be owned by both Parties and will be treated as shared property (the "Shared Property").
   
3. In the event of the Parties separating, or upon the death of a Party, all Shared Property will be deemed to be owned equally and each Party will be entitled to fifty percent (50%) of the net equity of the property, regardless of the initial or ongoing proportion of each Party's investment, unless the Parties have agreed otherwise in writing.
   
4. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, all property will be treated as property owned solely by either one of the Parties (the "Separate Property") except where:

   2. there is proof of shared legal ownership.
      
5. Nothing in this Agreement will prevent or invalidate any gift, or transfer for value, from one Party to the other of present or future property.

7. The Parties acknowledge that this Agreement will govern any determination of responsibility of debts that may occur in the event of the Parties separating, or upon the death of a Party.
   
8. All jointly acquired or jointly held debts, however and whenever acquired, will remain the debts of and be owed by both Parties and will be treated as shared debts (the "Shared Debts").
