RECITALS: 1. This Order relates to the provisicn of marital property rights to the Alternate Payee pursuant to a Marital Settlement Agreement dated May 24, 2006. 2. This Order creates and recognizes the existence of an Alternate Payee's right to receive a portion of the Participant's benefits payable under an employee sponsored defined contribution plan which is intended to be qualified under Internal Revenue Code of 1985 ("Code") 9401 (a). The Court intends this Order to be a Qualified Domestic Relations Order ("QDRO") within the meaning of Code 9414(p). The Court enters this QDRO pursuant to its authority under the 23 P. C.S.A. 93502. II. STATEMENTS OF FACT PURSUANT TO CODE S414(p): 3. This QDRO applies to the Moffitt Heart & Vascular Group Profit Sharing Plan ("Plan"). Further, this OrdH shall apply to any 5uccessor pian to the Plan or any other plan(s) which liability for provision of the Participant's benefits described below is incurred. Any benefits accrued by the Participant under a predecessor plan of the employer or any other defined contribution plan sponsored by the Participant's employer, whereby liability for benefits accrued under such predecessor plan or other defined contribution plan has been transferred to the Plan, shall also be subject to the " ....., terms of this Order. Any changes in Plan Administrator, Plan sponsor, or name of the Plan shall not affect Alternate Payee's rights as stipulated under this Order. 4. Dennis E. Line ("Participant") is a participant in the Plan. Phyllis L. Line ("Alternate Payee") is the alternate payee for purposes of this QDRO. 5. The Participant's name, mailing address, social security number, and date of birth are: Dennis E. Line 8 Liberty Court Carlisle, PA 17013 S.S. No. 200-36-3280 Date of Birth: February 18, 1947 6. The Alternate Payee's name, mailing address, social security number, and date of birth are: Phyllis L. Line 440 Barnstable Road Carlisle, PA 17013 S.S. No. 185-38-8648 Date of Birth: July 13, 1949 The Alternate Payee shall have the duty to notify the Plan Administrator in writing of any changes in this mailing address subsequent to the entry of this Order. 7. The Plan Administrator shall segregate from the Participant's portion of the Plan $591,571.00 for the benefit of the Alternate Payee under this QDRO. That amount shall be rolled over into an IRA for the Alternate Payee, together with any gain or loss thereon from May 25,2006 until the date of the rollover. The rollover shall be accomplished without tax consequence to either party. II . . , 8. The Alternate Payee shall be a surviving spouse for the purposes of Code ~~401(a)(11) and 417, but the Alternate Payee shall receive, as surviving spouse, only the amount described in paragraph 7 of this QDRO. The amount payable shall be payable to the Alternate Payee, in lump sum, as provided under the distribution provisions of the Plan. In the event of the Alternate Payee's death prior to her receipt of the full amount of the obligation, the obligation of the Participant shall continue and Alternate Payee's share of the Plan shall be payable to her estate.

III. RECITALS PURSUANT TO CODE ~414(p)(3): 11. This QDRO does not require the Plan to provide any type or form of benefit the Plan does not otherwise provide. IV. GENERAL PROVISIONS: 12. This QDRO does not require the Plan to provide increased benefits. . .,.. ...."" . i V. PROCEDURE FOR PROCESSING THIS QDRO: 13. This aDRO does not require the Plan to pay any benefits which another order previously determined to be a qualified domestic relations order requires the Plan to pay to another alternate payee, as there is no prior alternate payee with a qualified domestic relations order. 14. All payments made pursuant to this order shall be conditioned on the certification by the Alternate Payee and the Participant to the Plan Administrator of such information as the Plan Administrator may reasonably require from such parties. 15. It is the intention of the parties that this aDRO continue to qualify as a aDRO under Code 9414(p), as it may be amended from time to time, and that the Plan Administrator shall reserve the right to reconfirm the qualified status of the order at the time benefits become payable hereunder. 16. In the event that the Plan inadvertently pays to the Participant any benefits that are assigned to the Alternate Payee pursuant to the terms of this Order, the Participant shall immediately reimburse the Alternate Payee to the extent that he has received such benefit payments and shall forthwith pay such amount so received directly to the Alternate Payee within ten (10) days of receipt. In the event that the Plan inadvertently pays to the Alternate Payee any benefits that are assigned to the Participant pursuant to the terms of this order, the Alternate Payee shall immediately reimburse the Participant to the extent that she has received such benefit payments and shall forthwith pay such amount so received directly to the Participant within ten (10) days of the receipt. ... 17. In the event that the Participant's benefits, or any portion thereof, become payable to the Participant as a result of termination or partial termination, then the Alternate Payee shall be entitled to commence her benefits immediately in accordance with the terms of this ODRO and in accordance with the termination procedures of the Plan. The parties may amend this ODRO to provide for the transfer of the rights and obligations hereunder to a qualified retirement plan to which the Participant's accounts may be transferred. 18. After payment of the amount required by this ODRO, the Alternate Payee shall have no further claim against the Participant's interest in the Plan. With respect to the Plan's obligations to perform tax reporting, the Alternate Payee assumes sole responsibility for the tax consequences of the distribution under this ODRO. Any arrangement for the Participant to bear the tax consequences for Plan distributions shall be outside of the terms of this Order. VI. PROCEDURE FOR PROCESSING THIS QDRO: 20. The Plan shall treat this ODRO in accordance with Code 9414(p)(7). While the Plan is determining whether this Order is a qualified domestic relations order, the Plan Administrator shall hold and not distribute the Participant's accounts. 21. The Plan Administrator promptly shall notify the Participant and the Alternate Payee of the receipt of this ODRO and shall notify the Participant and the Alternate Payee of the Plan's procedures for determining the qualified status of this ODRO. The Plan Administrator shall determine the qualified status of the ODRO and shall notify the Participant and the Alternate Payee of the determination within a reasonable period of tie after receipt of this ODRO. ...... . .' 22.
