Liability: If you fail to withhold income as the Order/Notice directs, you are liable for both the accumulated amount you should have withheld from the employeelobligor's income and other penalties set by Pennsylvania State law.

Disposable income is the net income left after making mandatory deductions such as: State, Federal, local taxes, Social Security taxes, statutory pension contributions and Medicare taxes. The Federal limit is 50% of the disposable income if the obligor is supporting another family and 60% of the disposable income if the obligor is not supporting another family.However, that 50% limit is increased to 55% and that 60% limit is increased to 65% if the arrears are greater than 12 weeks. If permitted by the State, you may deduct a fee for administrative costs. The support amount and the fee may not exceed the limit indicated in this section. Arrears greater than 12 weeks : If the Order information does not indicate whether the arrears are greater than 12 weeks, then the employer should calculate the CCPA limit using the lower percentage. For Tribal orders, you may not withhold more than the amounts allowed under the law of the issuing Tribe. For Tribal employers who receive a State order, you may not withhold more than the lesser of the limit set by the law of the jurisdiction in which the employer is located or the maximum amount permitted under section 303(d) of the CCPA (15 U.S.C. 1673 (b)). Depending upon applicable State law, you may need to take into consideration the amounts paid for health care premiums in determining disposable income and applying appropriate withholding limits. 10. Additional info: *NOTE: If you or your agent are served with a copy of this order in the state that issued the order, you are to follow the law of the state that issued this order with respect to these items. 11.

If permitted by the State, you may deduct a fee for administrative costs. The support amount and the fee may not exceed the limit indicated in this section. Arrears greater than 12 weeks : If the Order Information does not indicate whether the arrears are greater than 12 weeks, then the employer should calculate the CCPA limit using the lower percentage. For Tribal orders, you may not withhold more than the amounts allowed under the law of the issuing Tribe. For Tribal employers who receive a State order, you may not withhold more than the lesser of the limit set by the law of the jurisdiction in which the employer is located or the maximum amount permitted under section 303(d) of the CCPA (15 U.S.C. 1673 (b)). Depending upon applicable State law, you may need to take into consideration the amounts paid for health care premiums in determining disposable income and applying appropriate withholding limits. 10.

This Order assigns to Alternate Payee an amount equal to $12,000.00. 8. The Alternate Payee shall be paid benefits as soon as administratively feasible following the date this Order is approved as a Qualifying Retirement Benefits Court Order by the Board. 9. Benefits are to be payable to the Alternate Payee in the form of a lump sum cash payment. 10. All payments made pursuant to this order shall be conditioned on the certification by the Alternate Payee and the Participant to the Board of such information as the Board may reasonably require from such parties. 11. This DRO does not require the Plan to provide any type or form of benefit the Plan does not otherwise provide. 12. This DRO does not require the Plan to provide increased benefits. 13. This DRO 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. 14. 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 DRO Page 3 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.

The Court of Common Pleas of Cumberland County, Pennsylvania shall retain jurisdiction to amend this Order, but only for the purpose of establishing it or maintaining it as a Domestic Relations Order, provided, however, that no such amendment shall require the Plan to provide any form of benefit or any option not otherwise provided by the Plan, and further provide that no such amendment or right of the Court to so amend will invalidate this Order.

If you have any questions about lump sum payments, contact the person or authority below. 7. Liability: If you fail to withhold income as the Order/Notice directs, you are liable for both the accumulated amount you should have withheld from the employee/obligor's income and other penalties set by Pennsylvania State law. Pennsylvania State law governs unless the obligor is employed in another State, in which case the law of the State in which he or she is employed governs. 8. Anti-discrimination: You are subject to a fine determined under State law for discharging an employee/obligor from employment, refusing to employ, or taking disciplinary action against any employee/obligor because of a support withholding. Pennsylvania State law governs unless the obligor is employed in another State, in which case the law of the State in which he or she is employed governs. 9.* Withholding Limits: You may not withhold more than the lesser of: 1) the amounts allowed by the Federal Consumer Credit Protection Act (CCPA) (15 U.S.C. 1673 (b)); or 2) the amounts allowed by the State or Tribe of the employee's/obligor's principal place of employment. Disposable income is the net income left after making mandatory deductions such as: State, Federal, local taxes, Social Security taxes, statutory pension contributions and Medicare taxes. The Federal limit is 50"1. of the disposable income if the obligor is supporting another family and 60% of the disposable income if the obligor is not supporting another family.However, that 50% limit is increased to 55% and that 60% limit is increased to 65% if the arrears are greater than 12 weeks. If permitted by the State, you may deduct a fee for administrative costs. The support amount and the fee may not exceed the limit indicated in this section. Arrears greater than 12 weeks : if the Order Information does not indicate whether the arrears are greater than 12 weeks, then the employer should calculate the CCPA limit using the lower percentage. For Tribal orders, you may not withhold more than the amounts allowed under the law of the issuing Tribe. For Tribal employers who receive a State order, you may not withhold more than the lesser of the limit set by the law of the jurisdiction in which the employer is located or the maximum amount permitted under section 303(d) of the CCPA (15 U.S.C. 1673 (b)). Depending upon applicable State law, you may need to take into consideration the amounts paid for health care premiums in determining disposable income and applying appropriate withholding limits. 10. Additional info: *NOTE: If you or your agent are served with a copy of this order in the state that issued the order, you are to follow the law of the state that issued this order with respect to these items. 11.
