under the Plan, the Wife shall be entitled to all of the rights
and election privileges that are afforded to active Participants
and Beneficiaries, including, but not limited to, the rules
regarding the right to direct Plan investments, only to the
extent permitted under the provisions of the Plan.
e. Death of the Wife: In the event of the Wife's death prior

27. ALIMONY
Subject to the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, the
Husband shall pay, directly to the Wife, alimony in the monthly

with the first monthly payment being due on the first (1st) day of
Page 29 of 51
the month in the month following the month that a final decree of
divorce is entered between the parties, and payable on the same day
of each month thereafter for a period of one hundred eight (108)
consecutive months, at which time all paYments shall cease if they
have not been previously terminated or modified as provided herein.
The Husband's obligation to make payments pursuant to this
paragraph will end and he will be released from the obligation of
payment upon: the death of either party; upon the payment, in full,
of the Husband's obligation to make monthly alimony payments
hereunder; or upon any modification of this Agreement by the
parties or by Order of Court terminating such obligation. All
payments by the Husband pursuant to this paragraph will be made in
cash (as opposed to tangible property), but in the manner set forth
below.
28. MODIFICATION.
The parties expressly agree that no provision of this
Agreement regarding the payment of alimony by the Husband will be
subj ect to modification in any manner at the request of either
party, or upon petition to or suit brought by either party in a
court of competent jurisdiction, except that the Husband's alimony
obligation hereunder shall be subj ect to downward modification
only, at the Husband's election, in writing, in the event the
Husband's "gross earned income" (i.e., gross earned income before
Page 30 of 51
taxes) falls below $275,000.00 in any calendar year during the time
the Husband continues to be obligated to pay alimony to the Wife in
accordance with this Agreement.
The Husband's alimony obligation shall be subject to downward
modification only, upon the written election of the Husband, if the
Husband's "gross earned income" is at least 10% less than
$275,000.00 for any such calendar year. In the event that the
Husband's "gross earned income" is at least 10% less than
$275,000.00 for any calendar year, the Husband's monthly alimony
obligation shall be reduced by the same proportion as the Husband's
annual "gross earned income" bears to the sum of $275,000.00. Such
downward reduction in the Husband's alimony obligation shall take
place during the next 12-month period, beginning on April 15th,
following the calendar year in which the Husband's "gross earned
income" is less than $275,000.00.
If any annual downward modification of alimony does occur, as
set forth in the preceding paragraph, Husband's alimony obligation
may be subject to upward modification if his annual gross earned
income increases at least 10% from the previous year, based, again,
on the proportion of the Husband's annual "gross earned income" to
the sum of $275,000.00. (to a maximum of the original $3,250.00 a
month). Such upward reduction in the Husband's alimony obligation
shall take place during the next 12-month period, beginning on
April 15th,
Page 31 of 51
following the calendar year in which the Husband's "gross earned
income" increases from the previous year.
Irrespective of the foregoing provisions of this paragraph 28,
in the event Husband becomes completely or partially disabled,
either on a temporary or permanent basis, so that his "gross earned
income" is reduced below $275,000 on an annualized basis, then, in
that event, at Husband's election, his monthly alimony payment
shall be subject to downward modification in the manner set forth
above, provided that the computation of his "gross earned income"
shall be made on a quarterly basis. Thus, such downward
modification in the Husband's monthly alimony obligation shall take
place during any next 3-month period following the determination
that his "gross earned income" for the previous quarter is less
than $68,750.00 (i.e., $275,000.00 divided by 4).
If any quarterly downward modification of alimony does occur,
as set forth in the preceding paragraph, Husband's alimony
obligation may be subject to upward modification if his income for
a new quarter increases from the quarter when the alimony payment
was last modified, based, again, on the proportion of the Husband's
quarterly "gross earned income" to the sum of $68, 750.00. (to a
maximum of the original $3,250.00 a month). Such upward
modification in the Husband's alimony obligation shall take place
during the next 3-month period following the determination that his
Page 32 of 51
"gross earned income" for a new quarter is greater than the
previous quarter. Subject to any other provisions of this Agreement
providing for downward modification of Husband's alimony
obligation, the quarterly adjustment of such obligation shall cease
in the event Husband's temporary disability ceases.
The parties mutually agree that the determination of the
amount of Husband's annual or quarterly "gross earned income", for
purposes of this paragraph 28 of the Agreement, shall be made by
the accounting firm of Diana M. Reed & Associates, P.C.
29. TAX CONSEQUENCES.
The payments by the Husband to the Wife required by Paragraph
28 of this Agreement are "alimony" for purposes of the Internal
Revenue Code and are includable in the gross income of the Wife
under Section 71(b) (1) (B) and are deductible to the Husband under
Section 215 of the Internal Revenue Code.
30. FILING TAX RETURNS.
The parties agree that they shall file, in each year, federal
tax returns which are consistent with the terms of this Agreement.
31. JOINT RETURNS
The parties have heretofore filed certain joint income tax
returns for the years prior to 2006 (i.e., 2005 and before). To the
best of each party's knowledge, information and belief, the parties
Page 33 of 51
have duly paid all income taxes, if any, due as a result of filing
such returns; there are no interest or penal ties with respect
thereto; no tax deficiency is pending or anticipated; and no audit
is pending with respect to any such return. If any notice from any
taxing or enforcement authority or agency regarding any jointly
filed tax returns is received by either party, such party shall
promptly give the other party timely written notice thereof. In the
event any additional taxes, interest or penalties are determined to
be due, the Husband and the Wife shall each pay the amount
ultimately determined to be due, together with interest and
penalties, if any, in the same proportion as each party's income
for the taxable year in question bears to the total taxable incomes
of the parties, provided that neither party shall be responsible
for any taxes, interest or penalties attributable to the failure of
the other party to report taxable income from any source or to such
party's claiming a deduction or other tax reduction benefit that is
disallowed by the taxing authority. Beginning with the taxable
calendar year 2006, and thereafter, it is understood and agreed
that the parties shall file individual federal and state income tax
returns on other than a joint basis with each other.
Any refunds payable as a result of the filing of any joint
federal or state tax return shall be divided equally between the
parties regardless of the amount of the taxable income reported by
each party. Each party shall be responsible for cooperating in the
Page 34 of 51
endorsing and cashing of any refund check and dividing the proceeds
equally.
32 . MEDICAL INSURANCE; PREMIUMS; DENTAL SERVICES.
Except as hereinafter provided (with regard to the Wife's
dental expenses), each party shall be solely responsible for all
medical, dental, optical and other types of expenses normally
covered, in whole or in part, by medical insurance policies and
plans, incurred by him or her.
So long as the Husband continues to practice dentistry, the
Husband shall provide free professional dental services to the
Wife. For purposes of this paragraph, such free dental services
shall consist of the portion of such charge attributable to the
Husband's fee for professional services. Any of the Husband's costs
(except overhead), lab fees, etc. shall be paid by the Wife.
33. UNREIMBURSED MEDICAL EXPENSES.
In addition, neither party shall be obligated to reimburse
the other for all or any portion of such party's unreimbursed
medical expenses incurred and paid by him or her after the date
of execution of this Agreement. For all purposes of this
Agreement, the term "unreimbursed medical expenses" shall be
defined in the manner such term is defined in the applicable
Page 35 of 51
statutes, rules of court and case law pertaining to spousal
support in effect as of the date of execution of this Agreement.
34. COUNSEL FEES AND EXPENSES
Husband agreed to reimburse Wife for her counsel fees incurred
through finalization of the divorce.
35. EXISTING AND FUTURE PERSONAL OBLIGATIONS
The parties hereby agree that all existing personal
liabilities, debts and obligations of every description (i. e. ,
mortgage debts, line of credit and other such liabilities, etc. for
which the other party is not liable, either directly or
contingently, to a creditor) that have been incurred by either of
them shall be paid in a timely fashion by the party who has
incurred such liability, etc. The Husband and the Wife each hereby
indemnify the other and guarantee to defend and hold each other
harmless for any and all payments, charges or penalties due on
account of any liability which is made the sole responsibility of
the Husband or the Wife by the provisions of this Agreement.
Further, the Wife and the Husband each covenant, warrant,
represent and agree that neither has heretofore contracted for any
debt, liability or obligation for which the other or the estate of
the other may be responsible or liable, except as specifically
Page 36 of 51
disclosed and provided for by the terms of this Agreement. The
parties further covenant, warrant, represent and agree that each
will now and at all times hereafter defend, save harmless and
indemnify the other and the estate of the other from all debts,
charges and liabilities incurred after the execution date hereof,
except as may be otherwise specifically provided herein, as well as
from all debts, liabilities or obligations of every kind which have
been incurred heretofore by either party, including those for
necessities, except for obligations arising out of this Agreement.
Except as may be otherwise expressly provided herein, the
parties agree that all joint credit and/or charge accounts shall be
terminated immediately, if they have not already been terminated,
and that no charges shall be incurred by either party against any
joint account from the date of execution hereof.
36. NOTE TO HELEN F. BROWN TRUST; INCOME
The Wife shall assume and be solely responsible for any debt
owed to the Helen F. Brown trust estate. The Husband shall not be
obligated to reimburse the Wife or the trustee (es) of the Helen F.
Brown revocable trust for any debts owed by the Husband and/or the
Wife to such trust estate. The Wife shall indemnify, defend and
hold the Husband harmless from any liability of the Husband in
connection with any debts owed, or debts repaid, to the Helen F.
Brown trust estate.

income was reported on the j oint federal and state income tax
returns of the parties for the calendar years 2003 through 2005.
Such reimbursements shall be payable within fifteen (15) days after
the Husband files his income tax return. The parties agree to be
bound by the determination of Diana M. Reed & Associates, CPA, with
regard to the calculation of the amount of income tax paid by
Husband attributable to the Helen Brown income distributions.
37. RECORDS PERTAINING TO BASIS
Each party agrees to supply the other with all records in his
or her possession pertaining to the cost basis, adjusted basis,
holding period and potential tax recapture liability of any asset

total combined gross annual earned incomes of the Husband and the
Wife.
