Common use of Governing Provisions Clause in Contracts

Governing Provisions. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Plan, a Participant’s Account may be assigned in whole or in part pursuant to the provisions of a Qualified Domestic Relations Order (hereinafter “QDRO”). In such case, the following rules shall apply: (a) A separate account shall be established for any Alternate Payee who has been awarded Plan assets, unless a QDRO obligates the Plan to distribute, as soon as administratively practicable, all or part of a Participant’s Account to the Alternate Payee. In such cases, a pro rata portion of the amount payable to the Alternate Payee shall be withdrawn from each Fund in which the Participant, pursuant to Section 14.1, has invested. This pro rata withdrawal from each Fund shall be calculated according to the percentage of the Participant’s total Account, which the Participant has placed in each Fund. Thus, for example, if a Participant with an Account of $200,000 has invested fifty percent (50%) in the Balanced Fund and fifty percent (50%) in the Bond Fund, and a QDRO awards $100,000 to an Alternate Payee, fifty percent (50%) of the Alternate Payee’s award shall be deducted from the Bond Fund and fifty percent (50%) from the Balanced Fund. (b) All such payments pursuant to a QDRO shall be subject to reasonable rules and regulations promulgated by the Committee respecting the time of payment pursuant to such order and the valuation of the Participant’s Account from which payment is made, provided that all such payments are made in accordance with such order and Section 414(p) of the Code. (c) The balance of a Participant’s Account subject to any QDRO shall be reduced by the amount of any payment made pursuant to such order. An Alternate Payee for whom a separate Account is established pursuant to this Article XIII shall be entitled to file an election with regard to investment of that Account in the manner specified by Article XIV and subject to the terms of the QDRO. All such elections shall be subject to the same terms and conditions as Article XIV imposes upon Participant elections, and all such elections shall be carried out by the Administrator in accordance with Article XIV. Upon the death of an Alternate Payee, the Alternate Payee’s Beneficiaries shall be entitled to payment of benefits in an amount and in the manner provided by the Plan.
