            payments (not less frequently than annually) made for--
                    (I) the life or life expectancy of the recipient (or 
                the joint lives or joint life expectancies of the 
                recipient and the designated beneficiary of the 
                recipient), or
                    (II) a period of not less than 10 years, or

                (ii) is a payment received after termination of 
            employment and under a plan, program, or arrangement (to 
            which such employment relates) maintained solely for the

            apply.

    Such term includes any retired or retainer pay of a member or former 
    member of a uniform service computed under chapter 71 of title 10, 
    United States Code.
        (2) The term ``income tax'' has the meaning given such term by 
    section 110(c).
