                                         -  -3                                           
               first day of each month thereafter the sum of Twenty-                  
               Five Hundred ($2500.00) Dollars per month to and                       
               including April 1, 1991.  Said spousal support shall                   
               terminate following the forty-eight (48) payments to be                
               covered for the period May 1, 1987, to and including                   
               April 1, 1991.                                                         
                    Said spousal support shall be non-modifiable as to                
               term, that is the forty-eight (48) months, and the                     
               amount of Twenty-Five Hundred ($2500.00) Dollars per                   
               month, or the total sum of One Hundred and Twenty                      
               Thousand ($120,000.00) Dollars.  The marriage of Wife                  
               or death of Husband, or Wife shall not terminate the                   
               Respondent's obligation to pay support.  No Court shall                
               retain jurisdiction to modify any term pertaining to                   
               spousal support, including but not limited to amount,                  
               term, duration or termination or any matter pertaining                 
               thereto.                                                               

               Exhibit "A" attached to the settlement agreement                       
          incorporated into the agreement additional terms and provisions,            
          including the following:                                                    
                    The payments to be made by Husband to Wife are                    
               intended to be made by Husband to Wife tax-free to Wife                
               and non tax reportable since the payments are as and                   
               for the equal division of community property, except                   
               for spousal support payments which shall be reportable                 
               by Wife and deductible by Husband.                                     

               Petitioners deducted as alimony $30,000 and $35,000 for the            
          taxable years 1990 and 1991, respectively.  Respondent determined           
          in her notice of deficiency that the amounts petitioners deducted           
          were not alimony, because they did not terminate on the death of            
          the recipient.  Petitioners contend that the amounts were                   
          properly deductible because of the language in the settlement               
          agreement that the payments were reportable by wife and                     
          deductible by husband.
