                    (3) The taxpayer and the IRS desire to settle the                    
               disputed TAX SHELTER issues on the same basis as finally                  
               determined in the CONTROLLING CASE.                                       
                    NOW IT IS HEREBY DETERMINED AND AGREED for federal                   
               income tax purposes that;                                                 
                    (1) The above adjustment * * * shall be determined by                
               application of the same formula as that which resolved the                
               TAX SHELTER adjustment, whether litigated or settled, in the              
               CONTROLLING CASE, as set forth in the final decision, as                  
               defined by section 7481 in the CONTROLLING CASE.                          
                    (2) All issues involving the above adjustment shall be               
               resolved as if the taxpayer was the same as the petitioner                
               in the CONTROLLING CASE.                                                  
                    (a) If the Court finds that any additions to tax or the              
               section 6621(c) interest are applicable to the underpayment               
               attributable to the above-designated TAX SHELTER adjustment,              
               the resolution of the TAX SHELTER issue and the                           
               applicability of such additions to tax or interest to that                
               TAX SHELTER issue as determined in the CONTROLLING CASE,                  
               whether by litigation or settlement, shall apply to the                   
               taxpayer as if the taxpayer was the same as the petitioner                
               in the CONTROLLING CASE.  [Fn. refs. omitted.]                            
               The Provizer case referenced as the controlling case in the               
          agreement was decided adversely to the taxpayers by this Court.                
          The Court also sustained the additions to tax under sections                   
          6653(a)(1), (2), and 6659 and determined that the increased                    
          interest provisions of section 6621(c) were applicable.  See                   
          Provizer v. Commissioner, T.C. Memo. 1992-177, affd. without                   
          published opinion 996 F.2d 1216 (6th Cir. 1993).                               
               The facts concerning the transactions in Provizer may be                  
          summarized as follows.  Packaging Industries Group, Inc. (PI),                 
          manufactured and sold six Sentinel Recyclers (the recyclers) to                
          Ethynol Cogeneration, Inc. (ECI), for $981,000 each.  ECI, in
