The amount awarded to the Alternate Payee shall be adjusted for investment gains and/or losses from the date of this Order to the Distribution Date. § 2.2. Form of Payment. Distribution from the Account to the Alternate Payee shall be made in a single lump sum payment in cash.

Upon the completion of this distribution to the Alternate Payee, the Plan shall have no further obligation to make any further distributions from the Account to the Alternate Payee. § 2.3. Limitation Rules. The value of the Participant's Account as of the Distribution Date shall be determined excluding: (I) any portion which has been, before such Distribution Date, distributed from the Plan to (or with respect to) the Participant, and (ii) any portion which has been awarded to any other alternate payee under any other domestic relations order which was determined to be a qualified domestic relations order before the date this domestic relations order is determined to be a qualified domestic relations order. The value of the Participant's Account shall be determined as of the Distribution Date including all amounts which are then accrued for contribution to the Account (whether from contributions of the Participant or a sponsor of the Plan) under generally accepted accounting principles (whether or not such contributions have in fact been received by the trustee of the Plan as of such Distribution Date). § 3.

The Plan Administrator may, but shall not be required to, cause the trustee of the Plan to segregate in a separate account under the Plan the amount awarded to the Alternate Payee under this domestic relations order pending its actual distribution to the Alternate Payee. To the extent that the Account of the Participant consists of monies coming from different sources or monies that have been divided for investment purposes into different classes or categories of investments, the Plan Administrator shall cause the trustee to withdraw the monies for distribution to the Alternate Payee in reasonable proportion to such sources and investments as they exist on the Distribution Date (if the amount awarded to the Alternate Payee has not been previously segregated).

For all purposes of the Plan, the Participant's Account (and all benefits payable under the Plan which are derived in whole or in part by reference to the Participant's Account) shall be permanently diminished by the portion of the Participant's Account which is awarded to the Alternate Payee. § 4.

The Alternate Payee shall file all elections, applications or other forms required by the Plan Administrator in connection with the distribution contemplated by this domestic relations order. The Participant shall cooperate fully with the Ptan and the Alternate Payee in executing such documents and taking all other actions which may be necessary or required by the Plan Administrator for the purpose of causing the distribution to the Alternate Payee which is contemplated by this domestic relations order. The Participant and the Alternate Payee may notify the Plan Administrator in writing that copies of notices to the Participant or the Alternate Payee, as the case may be, should be sent to a designated representative. Upon receipt of such notice, the Plan Administrator shall give copies of notices sent by the Plan Administrator to the Participant or Alternate Payee, as the case may be, to that representative. To the extent the Plan makes a reasonable and good faith effort to observe the terms of this domestic relations order in making the distribution to the Alternate Payee contemplated by this domestic relations order, the Plan, the Plan Administrator and every fiduciary of the Plan shall be deemed to have fully satisfied their obligations to the Participant and the Alternate Payee (and their successors and assigns) and shall be fully discharged from any further liability to the Participant and the Alternate Payee (and their successors and assigns) with respect to such distribution.
