STIPULATION FOR THE ENTRY
OF "DOMESTIC RELATIONS ORDER"
AND NOW, this 7'h day of May, 2003, the parties, Carol G. Ketner, Plaintiff, and
W. Raymond Ketner, Defendant, do hereby Agree and Stipulate as follows:
I. The Defendant, W. Raymond Ketner, (hereinafter referred to as
"Member") is a member of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, State Employees'
Retirement System (hereinafter referred to as "SERS")
2. SERS, as a creature of statute, is controlled by the State Employees'
Retirement Code, 71 PA C.S, SS 5101-5956 ("Retirement Code").
3. Member's date of birth is October 29,1944, and his Social Security
number is 171-36-9447.
4. The Plaintiff, Carol G. Ketner, (hereinafter referred to as "Alternate
Payee") is the former spouse of Member. Alternate Payee's date of birth is April 6, 1953,
and her Social Security number is 191-40-7862.
5. Member's last known mailing address is:
51 Drexel Place
New Cumberland, P A 17070
6. Alternate Payee's current mailing address is:
34 Kensington Drive
Camp Hill, PA 17011
It is the responsibility of Alternate Payee to keep a current mailing address on file with
SERS at all times.
7. (a) The marital property component of Member's retirement benefit
equals:
(I) The Coverture Fraction multiplied by (2) the Member's retirement benefit on
the effective date of Member's retirement calculated by using the Member's final average
salary on August 17,2002 instead of the Member's actual final average salary.
(b) The Coverture Fraction is a fraction with a value less than or equal to
one, The numerator is the amount of Member's service, as defined by SERS, for the
period oftime from October 21, 1975 to August 17,2002. The denominator is the total
amount of Member's service, as defined by SERS, on the effective date of Member's
retirement.
(c) Fifty percent (50%) of the marital property component of Member's
retirement benefit is to be allocated to the Alternate Payee as her equitable distribution
portion of this marital asset.
8. Member's retirement benefit is defined as all monies paid to or on behalf
of Member by SERS, including any lump sum withdrawals or scheduled or ad hoc
increases, but excluding the disability portion of any disability annuities paid to Member
by SERS as a result of a disability which occurs before the Member's marriage to
Alternate Payee or after the date of the Member and Alternate Payee's final separation.
Member's retirement benefit does not include any deferred compensation benefits paid to
Member by SERS, The equitable distribution portion of the marital property component
of Member's retirement benefit, as set forth in Paragraph Seven (7), shall be payable to
Alternate Payee and shall commence as soon as administratively feasible on or about the
date the Member actually enters pay status and SERS approves a Domestic Relations
Order incorporating this Stipulation and Agreement, whichever is later.
9, Member hereby nominates Alternate Payee as an irrevocable beneficiary
to the extent of Alternate Payee's equitable distribution portion of Member's retirement
benefit for any death benefits payable by SERS. This nomination shall become effective
upon approval by the Secretary of the Retirement Board, or his authorized representative,
of any Domestic Relations Order incorporating this Stipulation and Agreement. The
balance of any death benefit remaining after the allocation of Alternate Payee's equitable
distribution portion ("Balance") shall be paid to the beneficiaries named by Member on
the last Nomination of Beneficiaries Form field with the Retirement Board prior to
Member's death.
a, If the last Nomination of Beneficiaries Form field by
Member prior to Member's death (a) predates any approved Domestic
Relations Order incorporating this Stipulation and Agreement, and (b)
names Alternate Payee as a beneficiary, then: (I) the terms of the
Domestic Relations Order shall alone govern Alternate Payee's share of
any death benefit, and (2) for purposes of paying the Balance via the last
Nomination of Beneficiaries From field with the Retirement Board prior to
Member's death, Alternate Payee shall be treated as if Alternate Payee
predeceased Member. No portion of the Balance shall be payable to
Alternate Payee's estate,
b, In addition, Member shall execute and deliver to Alternate
Payee an authorization, in a form acceptable to SERS, which will
authorize SERS to release to Alternate Payee all relevant information
concerning Member's retirement account. Alternate Payee shall deliver the
authorization to SERS which will allow the Alternate Payee to check that
she has been and continues to be property nominated under this paragraph.
10. (a) The term and amounts of Member's retirement benefits payable
to the Alternate Payee after SERS approves a Domestic Relations Order
incorporating this Stipulation and Agreement is dependent upon which option is
selected by Member upon retirement. Member and Alternate Payee expressly
agree that:
Member shall select the following retirement option upon filing an
application for Retirement Allowance with SERS:
Special Option 4. - A joint and equitable distribution percent (or portion)
(as defined in paragraph 7) annuity payable during the lifetime of the
Member with an equitable distribution percent (or portion) (as defined in
paragraph 7) of such annuity payable thereafter to his survivor annuitant,
ifliving at his death, as set forth in 71 Pa, C.S. Section 5705(a)(4), or any
succeeding statute.
The Member shall designate the Alternate Payee as his irrevocable
survivor annuitant. The intent of this Special Option 4 selection is to maintain
levelized payments to the Alternate Payee for her life in the event of Member's
death and retirement. The Alternate Payee shall receive her equitable distribution
percentage (or portion) of the annuity which is payable to the Member during his
lifetime, so that she shall receive a percentage (or portion) of the Member's check
during his lifetime and the same amount, all other things being equal, if he
predeceases her after retirement.
(b) The Member and Alternate Payee acknowledge that if the Alternate
Payee predeceases the Member, the following will occur under this Special
Option 4 selection: (I) the same monthly benefit which had been paid or would
have been paid to the Alternate Payee during Alternate Payee's lifetime will be
paid to the Alternate Payee's estate for the duration of the life of the Member, and
(2) upon the Member's death, all payments to the Alternate Payee's estate shall
cease.
I I. Alternate Payee may not exercise any right, privilege or option offered by
SERS. SERS shall issue individual tax forms to Member and Alternate Payee for
amounts paid to each person,
12. In the event of the death of Alternate Payee prior to receipt of all of her
payments payable to her from SERS under this Order, any death benefit or retirement
benefit payable to Alternate Payee by SERS shall be paid to Alternate Payee's Estate to
the extent of Alternates Payee's equitable distribution portion of Member's retirement
benefit as set forth in Paragraphs Seven through Nine.
I3, In no event shall Alternate Payee have greater benefits or rights other than
those that are available to Member. Alternate Payee is not entitled to any benefit not
otherwise provided by SERS. The Alternate Payee is only entitled to the specific benefits
offered by SERS as provided in this Order. All other rights, privileges and options
offered by SERS not granted to Alternate Payee by this Order are preserved for Member.
14, It is specifically intended and agreed by the parties hereto that this Order:
(a) Does not require SERS to provide any type of benefit, or any option, not
otherwise provided under the Retirement Code;
(b) Does not require SERS to provide increased benefits (determined on the
basis of actuarial value) unless increased benefits are paid to Member based upon cost of
living or increases based on other than actuarial values,
15. The parties intend and agree that the terms of this Stipulation and
Agreement shall be approved, adopted and entered as a Domestic Relations Order.
16. The Court of Common Pleas of Cumberland County, Pennsylvania, shall
retain jurisdiction to amend any Domestic Relations Order incorporating this Stipulation
and Agreement, but only for the purpose of establishing it or maintaining it as a Domestic
Relations Order; provided, however, that no such amendment shall require SERS to
provide any type or form of benefit, or any option not otherwise provided by SERS, and
further provided that no such amendment or right of the Court to so amend will invalidate
this existing Order.
17, Upon entry as a Domestic Relations Order, a certified copy of the
Domestic Relations Order and this Stipulation and Agreement and any attendant
documents shall be served upon SERS immediately. The Domestic Relations Order shall
take effect immediately upon SERS approval and SERS approval of any attendant

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Wife or Husband may also
proceed with an action at law for redress of any of his or her rights under the terms of this
agreement. In the event that for any reason whatsoever either party is obliged to proceed
at law for redress of his or her rights under the terms of this agreement, then it is
specifically understood and agreed that for and in specific consideration of the other
provisions and convents of this agreement, each shall waive any right to jury trial so as to
expedite the hearing and disposition of such case and so as to avoid delay.
It is specifically understood and agreed by the parties that in the event of a default
under the terms of this agreement, the non-defaulting party shall have the right to file a
petition for contempt and request such relief and remedies as authorized by law of the
court.

party from any and all attorney's fees, costs and legal expenses that either may sustain, or
incur or become liable or answerable for, in any way whatsoever, or shall pay upon, or in
consequence of, any default or breach by the other of any of the terms or provisions of
this agreement by reason of which either party shall or shall be obliged to retain or
engage counsel to initiate or maintain or defend proceedings against the other at law or
equity or both or in any way whatsoever; provided that the party who seeks to recover
such attorney's fees, costs, and legal expenses and expenses must first be successful in
whole or in part, before there would be any liability for attorney fees,
11
All remedies provided by law and all remedies provided for in this agreement for
enforcement of this agreement shall be deemed to be cumulative and the exercise of one
remedy shall not bar or prevent the pursuit of any other remedy and either party may elect
to pursue such remedies simultaneously and the exercise of a remedy one or more times
shall not exhaust its use or prevent further pursuit of such remedy.
This agreement shall not be deemed to merge into the decree of divorce,
In witness whereof, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties hereto
have hereunto set their hands and seals the date and year first written above,

STIPULATION FOR THE ENTRY
OF "DOMESTIC RELATIONS ORDER"
AND NOW, this 7`h day of May, 2003, the parties, Carol G. Ketner, Plaintiff, and
W. Raymond Ketner, Defendant, do hereby Agree and Stipulate as follows:
1. The Defendant, W. Raymond Ketner, (hereinafter referred to as
"Member") is a member of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, State Employees'
Retirement System (hereinafter referred to as "SERS")
2. SERS, as a creature of statute, is controlled by the State Employees'
Retirement Code, 71 PA C.S. §§ 5101-5956 ("Retirement Code").
3. Member's date of birth is October 29, 1944, and his Social Security
number is 171-36-9447.
EXHIBIT
A
4. The Plaintiff, Carol G. Ketner, (hereinafter referred to as "Alternate
Payee") is the former spouse of Member. Alternate Payee's date of birth is April 6, 1953,
and her Social Security number is 191-40-7862.
5. Member's last. known mailing address is:
51 Drexel Place
New Cumberland, PA 17070
6. Alternate Payee's current mailing address is:
34 Kensington Drive
Camp Hill, PA 17011
It is the responsibility of Alternate Payee to keep a current mailing address on file with
SERS at all times.
7. (a) The marital property component of Member's retirement benefit
equals:
(1) The Coverture Fraction multiplied by (2) the Member's retirement benefit on
the effective date of Member's retirement calculated by using the Member's final average
salary on August 17, 2002 instead of the Member's actual final average salary.
(b) The Coverture Fraction is a fraction with a value less than or equal to
one. The numerator is the amount of Member's service, as defined by SERS, for the
period of time from October 21, 1975.to August 17, 2002. The denominator is the total
amount of Member's service, as defined by SERS, on the effective date of Member's
retirement.
(c) Fifty percent (50%) of the marital property component of Member's
retirement benefit is to be allocated to the Alternate Payee as her equitable distribution
portion of this marital asset.
8. Member's retirement benefit is defined as all monies paid to or on behalf
of Member by SERS, including any lump sum withdrawals or scheduled or ad hoc
increases, but excluding the disability portion of any disability annuities paid to Member
by SERS as a result of a disability which occurs before the Member's marriage to
Alternate Payee or after the date of the Member and Alternate Payee's final separation.
Member's retirement benefit does not include any deferred compensation benefits paid to
Member by SERS. The equitable distribution portion of the marital property component
of Member's retirement benefit, as set forth in Paragraph Seven (7), shall be payable to
Alternate Payee and shall commence as soon as administratively feasible on or about the
date the Member actually enters pay status and SERS approves a Domestic Relations
Order incorporating this Stipulation and Agreement, whichever is later.
9. Member hereby nominates Alternate Payee as an irrevocable beneficiary
to the extent of Alternate Payee's equitable distribution portion of Member's retirement
benefit for any death benefits payable by SERS. This nomination shall become effective
upon approval by the Secretary of the Retirement Board, or his authorized representative,
of any Domestic Relations Order incorporating this Stipulation and Agreement. The
balance of any death benefit remaining after the allocation of Alternate Payee's equitable
distribution portion ('Balance") shall be paid to the beneficiaries named by Member on
the last Nomination of Beneficiaries Form field with the Retirement Board prior to
Member's death:
a. If the last Nomination of Beneficiaries Form field by
Member prior to Member's death (a) predates any approved Domestic
Relations Order incorporating this Stipulation and Agreement, and (b)
names Alternate Payee as a beneficiary, then: (1) the terms of the
Domestic Relations Order shall alone govern Alternate Payee's share of
any death benefit, and (2) for purposes of paying the Balance via the last
Nomination of Beneficiaries From field with the Retirement Board prior to
Member's death, Alternate Payee shall be treated as if Alternate Payee
predeceased Member. No portion of the Balance shall be payable to
Alternate Payee's estate.
b. In addition, Member shall execute and deliver to Alternate
Payee an authorization, in a form acceptable to SERS, which will
authorize SERS to release to Alternate Payee all relevant information
concerning Member's retirement account. Alternate Payee shall deliver the
authorization to SERS which will allow the Alternate Payee to check that
she has been and continues to be property nominated under this paragraph.
10. (a) The term and amounts of Member's retirement benefits payable
to the Alternate Payee after SERS approves a Domestic Relations Order
incorporating this Stipulation and Agreement is dependent upon which option is
selected by Member upon retirement. Member and Alternate Payee expressly
agree that:
Member shall select the following retirement option upon filing an
application for Retirement Allowance with SERS:
Special Option 4. - A joint and equitable distribution percent (or portion)
(as defined in paragraph 7) annuity payable during the lifetime of the
Member with an equitable distribution percent (or portion) (as defined in
paragraph 7) of such annuity payable thereafter to his survivor annuitant,
if living at his death, as set forth in 71 Pa. C.S. Section 5705(a)(4), or any
succeeding statute.
The Member shall designate the Alternate Payee as his irrevocable
survivor annuitant. The intent of this Special Option 4 selection is to maintain
levelized payments to the Alternate Payee for her life in the event of Member's
death and retirement. The Alternate Payee shall receive her equitable distribution
percentage (or portion) of the annuity which is payable to the Member during his
lifetime, so that she shall receive a percentage (or portion) of the Member's check
during his lifetime and the same amount, all other things being equal, if he
predeceases her after retirement.
(b) The Member and Alternate Payee acknowledge that if the Alternate
Payee predeceases the Member, the following will occur under this Special
Option 4 selection: (1) the same monthly benefit which had been paid or would
have been paid to the Alternate Payee during Alternate Payee's lifetime will be
paid to the Alternate Payee's estate for the duration of the life of the Member, and
(2) upon the Member's death, all payments to the Alternate Payee's estate shall
cease.
11. Alternate Payee may not exercise any right, privilege or option offered by
SERS. SERS shall issue individual tax forms to Member and Alternate Payee for
amounts paid to each person.
12. In the event of the death of Alternate Payee prior to receipt of all of her
payments payable to her from SERS under this Order, any death benefit or retirement
benefit payable to Alternate Payee by SERS shall be paid to Alternate Payee's Estate to
the extent of Alternates Payee's equitable distribution portion of Member's retirement
benefit as set forth in Paragraphs Seven through Nine.
13. In no event shall Alternate Payee have greater benefits or rights other than
those that are available to Member. Alternate Payee is not entitled to any benefit not
otherwise provided by SERS. The Alternate Payee is only entitled to the specific benefits
offered by SERS as provided in this Order. All other rights, privileges and options
offered by SERS not granted to Alternate Payee by this Order are preserved for Member.
14. It is specifically intended and agreed by the parties hereto that this Order:
(a) Does not require SERS to provide any type of benefit, or any option, not
otherwise provided under the Retirement Code;
(b) Does not require SERS to provide increased benefits (determined on the
basis of actuarial value) unless increased benefits are paid to Member based upon cost of
living or increases based on other than actuarial values.
15. The parties intend and agree that the terms of this Stipulation and
Agreement shall be approved, adopted and entered as a Domestic Relations Order.
16. The Court of Common Pleas of Cumberland County, Pennsylvania, shall
retain jurisdiction to amend any Domestic Relations Order incorporating this Stipulation
and Agreement, but only for the purpose of establishing it or maintaining it as a Domestic
Relations Order; provided, however, that no such amendment shall require SERS to
provide any type or form of benefit, or any option not otherwise provided by SERS, and
further provided that no such amendment or right of the Court to so amend will invalidate
this existing Order.
17. Upon entry as a Domestic Relations Order, a certified copy of the
Domestic Relations Order and this Stipulation and Agreement and any attendant
documents shall be served upon SERS immediately. The Domestic Relations Order shall
take effect immediately upon SERS approval and SERS approval of any attendant
documents and then shall remain in effect until further Order of Court.
WHEREFORE, the parties, intending to be legally bound by the terms of this
Stipulation and Agreement, do hereunto place their hands and seals.
