PER CURIAM

Wife has filed a petition for reconsideration of our opinion in this marital dissolution case, requesting clarification of our disposition.  The dissolution judgment awarded wife an equalizing judgment of $25,777.  In our previous opinion, 235 Or App 17, ___ P3d ___ (2010), we ordered a modification of the property division to provide wife with an additional $140,800, as wife's just and proper share of the marital appreciation of husband's veterinary clinic.  Our disposition stated:  "Dissolution judgment modified to award wife an additional $140,800, to be paid in monthly installments over 10 years; otherwise affirmed."

In her petition for reconsideration, wife notes that, in his reply brief, husband conceded that wife was entitled an equal share of the after-tax balance of his profit-sharing account, $29,384, and that the judgment should be revised accordingly.  Wife inquires whether this court also intends for husband to pay that amount in addition to the original equalizing judgment of $25,777 and the additional $140,800 awarded in our disposition.  We conclude that the current disposition reflects a just and proper division of the marital property and adhere to it.  Thus, the total equalizing judgment is $166,577, to be paid in monthly installments over 10 years.

Reconsideration allowed; opinion clarified and adhered to as clarified.
