               Leave of Absence, or any claims for attorneys' fees.                   
               You agree that this also releases from liability IBM's                 
               agents, directors, officers, employees,                                
               representatives, successors and assigns (hereinafter                   
               "those associated with IBM").                                          
               You agree that you have voluntarily executed this                      
               Release on your own behalf, and also on behalf of any                  
               heirs, agents, representatives, successors and assigns                 
               that you may have now or in the future.  You also agree                
               that this Release covers, but is not limited to, claims                
               arising from the Age Discrimination in Employment Act                  
               of 1967, as amended, Title VII of the Civil Rights Act                 
               of 1964, as amended, and any other federal, state or                   
               local law dealing with discrimination in employment,                   
               including but not limited to discrimination based on                   
               sex, race, national origin, religion, disability,                      
               veteran status or age.  You also agree that this                       
               Release includes claims based on theories of contract                  
               or tort whether based on common law or otherwise.                      

          Petitioner husband was entitled to revoke his signature within 7            
          days of signing the Release; however, had he done so, he would              
          have been required to return his lump-sum payment and would have            
          become ineligible for the other NRTP benefits.  Petitioner                  
          husband received a lump-sum payment of $24,060.44 in connection             
          with his participation in NRTP.  Petitioner husband suffered no             
          injury or sickness at the time of his resignation.  Neither prior           
          nor subsequent to his resignation did petitioner husband file a             
          complaint or claim with IBM or against IBM regarding any type of            
          discrimination, personal injury, or wrongful termination.                   
               On their 1994 Federal income tax return, petitioners failed            
          to report as income the $24,060.44 received by petitioner husband
