net income decrease. Any such increase or decrease as provided for herein shall be deemed an
increase or decrease to alimony and not child support and shall modify the "threshold"
established herein. Until such time as the payments of alimony are tenninated as hereinafter

increased or deceased then Husband's payment of alimony to Wife shall be increased or deceased

as Bppropriate so that the total payment of child support and alimony never exceeds the
"threshold" established herein, For example, if Husband's net income through employment is
increased by $100,00 per month. then the "threshold" established herein shal1 be increased to
$1,725,00 per month with $800.00 per month attributable to child support and $925,00
attributable to alimony. Should thereafter children support be increased to $825,00 per month
than that sum would be attributable to child support and$900,OO per month would be attributable
to alimony,

shal1 be released from the obligation of any and all payments for alimony due under this
paragraph which shall fall due subsequent to the happening of any of the following enumerated
events:

first grade, with it understood that Morgan shall not be held back from starting first grade when
she nonnal1y would without a reasonable basis and without both parties agreement;
b) The death of Wife;
c) The death of Husband;
d) Wife's remarriage or her continued cohabitation with an unrelated member of the
opposite sex.

accordance with and as provided for in this agreement shall be tax deductible to Husband under
the provisions of the Internal Revenue Service Code and shall be considered as periodic
9
payments taxable to Wife under the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code during the tenn of
Husband obligations hereunder,
It is further understood and agreed by the parties hereto that at such time as alimony
payments tenninate as herein above provided that child support will or may be redetennined
based on the applicable laws relative to child support in effect at that time, At such time as the
alimony payment as set forth above is tenninated and the child support payment is redetennined
in accordance with this provision, Husband agrees that he will pay child support in an wnount
equal to $50.00 per month greater than the applicable laws relative to child support in effect at
that time if Husband's obligation is for the support of two children and $25.00 per month greater
than the applicable laws relative to child support in effect at that time if Husband's obligation is
for the support of one child.
16. As additional alimony taxable to Wife and deductible by Husband, Husband shall
pay to Wife one-half of Wife's health insurance premiums for three years following the date of
the execution of this agreement. Payment by Husband as provided for herein is contingent upon
wife obtaining health insurance benefits through Husband's cobra program at Husband's place of
employment. Should Wife become employed during this three year period and should Wife be
able to obtain health insurance through said employment, then and in that event, Husband shall
have no obligation to pay any sum whatsoever towards Wife's premiums for said health
insurance.
