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

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

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. In the event the
Participant dies prior to the transfer anticipated by this QDRO, the amount of the
obligation instead of in paragraph 7 above shall be paid in lump sum to the Alternate

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. The Court shall retain jurisdiction with respect to this Order to the extent
required to maintain its qualified status and the original intent of the parties as stipulated
herein.
