taxes that are attributable to such pension payments and the

1997 to the date that DuPont allocates the pension pursuant to

income tax returns all income received from the pension in 1997
and thereafter until the QDRO becomes effective. For 1997 and
thereafter, if HUSBAND has received more than 50% of the net
pension benefit under the above formula, then he shall make a
payment to WIFE in order to equalize the benefit. If WIFE has
received more than 50% of the benefit in 1997 or thereafter,
under the above formula, WIFE shall make a 'payment to HUSBAND in
order to equalize the benefit. In the event a dispute arises in
regard to such an accounting, either party may file a petition
for special relief with the court to obtain a court determination
as to whether any amount is owing to either of the parties with
respect to the pension benefits paid after January 1, 1997 until
the date the QDRO becomes effective under the guidelines set
forth in this paragraph.
