(2) the judgment was obtained by fraud;
(3) the cause of action or claim for relief on which the judgment is based is repugnant to the public policy of this Commonwealth;
(4) the judgment conflicts with another final and conclusive judgment;
(5) the proceeding in the foreign court was contrary to an agreement between the parties under which the dispute in question was to be settled otherwise than by proceedings in that court; or
