December 31 of the calendar year in which they were
incurred.
E. This Agreement has been negotiated on the assumption that
the payments described in this paragraph shall be
deductible by Husband and includable in the income of
Wife. Therefore, it is the intention, understanding and
agreement of the parties that the payments described in
this paragraph to the extent permitted by law shall
constitute "alimony" as that term is defined in section
71 of the Internal Revenue Code and that, accordingly,
all such payments shall be includable in Wife's gross
income and deductible by Husband for Federal Income Tax
purposes pursuant to sections 71 and 215 of the Internal
Revenue Code. Wife must report payments received under
this Paragraph in her gross income for federal and, if
applicable, for local and state income tax purposes.
Wife shall be solely responsible for income taxes with
respect to those payments. If Wife should fail to report

against and hold Husband harmless from any expenses
and/or liability, including reasonable counsel and
accountants' fees, arising from that failure.

additional rights which said party has or may have by reason of their
marriage, except the rights saved or created by the terms of this

and retirement plans of any sort or nature, deferred compensation plans,
life insurance policies, annuities, stock accounts, bank accounts, final
pay checks or any other post-death distribution scheme, and each party
expressly states that it is his and her intention to revoke by the terms of
this Agreement any beneficiary designations naming the other which are in
effect as of the date of execution of this Agreement. If and in the event
the other party continues to be named as beneficiary and no alternate
beneficiary is otherwise designated, the beneficiary shall be deemed to be
the estate of the deceased party; Notwithstanding the foregoing, however,
in the event that either party hereto specifically designates the other
party as a beneficiary after the date of execution of this Agreement, then
thia waiver provision shall not bar that party from qualifying as such
beneficiary.

administrators, assigns, property and estate from any and
all rights, claims, demands or obligations arising out of

whether now existing or hereafter arising. The above
release shall be effective regardless of whether such
