Common use of No Alienation Clause in Contracts

No Alienation. The benefits provided hereunder shall not be subject to alienation, assignment, garnishment, attachment, execution or levy of any kind, and any attempt to cause such benefits to be so subjected shall not be recognized, except as provided in Section 12.4 or in accordance with a Qualified Domestic Relations Order. The Plan Administrator shall determine whether a domestic relations order is qualified in accordance with written procedures adopted by the Plan Administrator. Notwithstanding the foregoing, an order shall not fail to be a Qualified Domestic Relations Order merely because it requires a distribution to an alternate payee (or the segregation of accounts pending distribution to an alternate payee) before the Participant is otherwise entitled to a distribution under the Plan.
