CARL SHEAFFER, JR.,
Defendant
IN THE COURT OF COMMON PLEAS OF
CUMBERLAND COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA
NO. 08-4870
CIVIL ACTION -LAW
IN DIVORCE
QUALIFIED DOMESTIC RELATIONS ORDER
This matter having come before the court on the stipulation of the parties as set forth below,
and the Court finding that the parties have agreed on the terms under which certain retirement
benefits of CARL SHEAFFER, JR., shall be divided, then this Order is entered pursuant to the
court's authority under the applicable domestic relations laws of the state of Pennsylvania.
IT IS ORDERED:
1. Nature of this Order: This Order assigns and recognizes the existence of an
alternate payee's right to receive a portion of a participant's benefits payable in a defined
contribution plan, and authorizes the administrator of such plan to pay such portion to the alternate
payee. This order is intended to be a qualified domestic relations order ("QDRO") within the
meaning of §414(p) of the Internal Revenue Code ("Code").
Statements of Fact
2. Participant Information: The name and address of the plan participant to which
this Order applies are:
Name: Carl Sheaffer, Jr.
I~/
J
Address: 141 West Big Spring Avenue, Newville, PA 17241
.. 4.
3. Alternate Payee Information: The name and address of the alternate payee to
which this Order applies are:
Name: Sherrie Sheaffer
Address: 16 Parsonage Street, Newville, PA 17241
4. Plan Name: The name of the plan to which this Order applies is the Fry
Communications Retirement Plan ("Plan"). This Order shall also apply to any successor plan to the
Plan, or to any other plan that incurs liability for payment of the Participant's benefits in the Plan.
5. Benefits Assigned to the Alternate Payee: The portion of the Participant's account
balance in the Plan payable to the Alternate Payee is $25,000.00.
6. If the investments of the Participant's account include one or more loans to the Plan
Participant, the Participant's account balance shill be determined as if the loan(s) were fully repaid
as of the date the account balance is determined. However, the Alternate Payee's account shall be
funded exclusively with assets other than the participant loan(s).
Time and Manner of Payment
7. If the Plan permits an immediate distribution of the benefit described in Paragraph
5 of this Order, the Alternate Payee may request a distribution of the benefit as soon as
administratively feasible following the date that the Plan Administrator determines that this order
is a QDRO. If the Plan does not permit an immediate distribution, the Alternate Payee may elect to
have the Plan distribute the benefit designated in Paragraph 5 of this Order at the Participant's
earliest retirement age as defined by Code §414(p)(4).
8. The Alternate Payee may elect to receive the benefit described in Paragraph 5 of this
Order in any form of distribution that the Plan permits, except in the form of a joint and survivor
annuity with a subsequent spouse as the beneficiary.
9. T'he applicable fee for administering this order shall be deducted from the
Participant's account.
10. The Alternate Payee assumes sole responsibility for the tax consequences of any
distribution under this Order.
11. The Plan shall permit the Alternate Payee to designate a death beneficiary for the
benefit described in Paragraph 5 of this Order to the full extent permissible under the Plan. If the
Alternate Payee dies before all of the benefit has been distributed, the Plan shall distribute any
.. ..~ .
unpaid benefits to the Alternate Payee's designated beneficiary. If the Alternate Payee dies without
having designated a beneficiary, the Plan shall distribute any unpaid assigned benefits to the
Alternate Payee's estate as soon as administratively feasible following the date that the Plan
Administrator receives adequate notice of the Alternate Payee's death.
12. Should the Participant die before the terms of this order are completely carried out,
the Alternate Payee shall be treated as the surviving spouse of the Participant to the extent of the
benefit described in Paragraph 5 of this order. The sole purpose of this paragraph is to ensure
payment to the Alternate Payee in case of the Participant's death prior to payment of the Plan of the
benefit described in Paragraph 5 of this Order.
13. The Alternate Payee shall provide the Plan with any subsequent changes in the
Alternate Payee's mailing address until such time as the Plan has distributed all of the assigned
benefits. The Alternate Payee and the Participant shall provide such other information and shall
complete such forms as the Plan may reasonably require from one or the other to administer the
Order.
Savings Clause Pursuant to Code §414(p)(3)
14. This Order is not intended and shall not be construed in such a manner as to require
the Plan to provide any type or form of benefit, or any option the Plan does not otherwise provide;
to require the Plan to provide increased benefits; or to require the Plan to pay any benefits to the
Alternate Payee that are required to be paid to another alternate payee under another order previously
determined to be a qualified domestic relations order.
The Court retains jurisdiction with respect to this Order to the extent required to establish or
to maintain its qualified status.
