the children will spend any period of the vacation without a parent present, the custodial parent
must get permission from the other parent. When the Child begins attending school, neither

parents express written consent.
For the situation where Father proposes to take the children to the U.K., Father should give
Mother sixty days notice of the dates and basic itinerary of a proposed trip with the children.
Mother agrees to not unreasonably withhold consent to Father's suggested trip. If Mother
objects to the proposed trip, Mother must indicate that she objects to the proposed trip at least
forty-five days prior to the trip. Forty-Five days prior to the trip and assuming Mother's consent,
Mother shall release the children's passport to Father in order that he may make final
arrangements and travel plans for the trip with the children. Upon Father's return from the U.K.
J

outside of the U. S. and the U.K. must be approved by both parents.
The parties may modify this vacation clause by mutual agreement.

the U.K. shall also apply to Mother.
7. Education/Health: The children cannot miss school or other health/education
activities such as physicaUspeech/occupational therapy unless Mother and Father approve and/or
for reasons due to the child's health. Both parents agree that they will not unreasonably withhold
approval for either child to miss any of the noted activities under the appropriate circumstances.
8. Contact Information: The party with physical custody at the time shall keep the
other party notified of children's whereabouts including contact address and telephone number
whenever the whereabouts is not the normal home address.
9. Right of First Refusal: Both parties shall enjoy the right of first refusal to provide
care for the minor children in the event that the custodial parent is unavailable and must rely
upon a third party to take care of the children overnight. In such situations, the custodial parent
must contact the non-custodial parent first and offer the non-custodial parent the opportunity to
provide care for the children when the custodial parent is unavailable for one or more overnights.
Mother and Father agree to respect the rights of each other and neither party shall attempt to
influence the children not to love and respect the other parent. Mother and Father agree that they
shall exert reasonable effort to maintain access and unhampered contact between the children
and the other party, and each party shall endeavor to foster a feeling of affection between the
children and the other party, and neither party shall do anything which will or may tend to
estrange the children from the other party, or in any way impair the love the children have for the
other party.
Mother and Father agree to restrain himself or herself from prejudicing the children against the
other party. Both parents shall at times carry out their time with the children in a manner
conducive and respectful to the best interests of the children. Mother and Father further agree
that during the time the children are in their care they will not expose the children to any
environment or influence which could in any way be deemed to be detrimental to their health,
character, and development.
10. This Stipulation is entered pursuant to an agreement of the parties. The parties agree
that this Stipulation may be incorporated as an Order of Court and may be enforceable as an
Order of Court. The parties may modify the provisions of this Order by mutual consent. In the
absence of mutual consent, the terms of this agreement and Order shall control. In the event one
party desires a modification of the custody agreement and the parties are unable to reach an
agreement on any modification, either party may petition the Cumberland County Court to
request a modification of the order.

income, valued as of July 30, 2010, the date of separation of the parties, that they have been given ample
opportunity to identify, analyze and value the assets titled in the name of or held for the benefit of the
other party and that this Agreement was negotiated and entered into on the basis of those disclosures and
their substantial accuracy. The parties acknowledge that: (a) no formal appraisals have been conducted

different if other methods of valuation were utilized; (b) the parties assign very different values to many
of the assets; and (c) they are aware that, but for this Agreement, they might be entitled to additional

4
8. EQUITABLE DISTRIBUTION OF ASSETS
8.1. Business:
A. Higher Lo i@ c• LLC:
Husband has an interest in Higher Logic, LLC. Husband owns 25 million units, representing 50%
ownership interest. Subject to Wife's interests as set forth below, Wife waives all right, title and interest
she has or may have in this business. Wife shall sign any documents that may be necessary to remove her
name from any ownership interest. For Wife's interest in the business, the parties agree that Husband will
transfer 10% of his units, or 2.5 million units, to Wife. These units shall be non-voting units only. Pursuant
to the Operating Agreement of Higher Logic, LLC, the transfer of units from Husband to Wife establishes
Wife as an assignee and not a member. Wife, as an assignee, has no voting rights but does retain the
economic benefits of the units.
Husband retains the right to purchase 80% of Wife's units, or 2 million units, at 10 cents per unit.
Husband elects to make his first purchase at the date of execution of this Agreement through the transfer of
a portion of his 401(k) account, which Wife accepts. Husband hereby elects to purchase 20% of Wife's
units for the price of FIFTY THOUSAND DOLLARS AND 00/100 ($50,000), which shall be paid through
the transfer of Husband's 401(k) account funds, more clearly specified in paragraph 8.4 below.
In the event that Husband's reported taxable income while he is a salaried employee of a Higher
Logic is greater than $225,000, Husband shall use 50% of the amount reported above $225,000 toward the
election to purchase Wife's remaining units of Higher Logic, LLC.
In addition, Husband shall transfer 10% of his units, or 2.5 million units to a Trust established for
benefit of the parties' minor children, William and Campbell. The Trust shall be managed by Husband and
Wife as joint trustees. The trust document shall be prepared by Wife's counsel and the parties shall execute
that document within 10 days of being requested to do so. Husband and Wife shall act in a manner
consistent with their fiduciary obligations as trustees.
5
Pursuant to the Operating Agreement of Higher Logic, LLC, the transfer of units from Husband to
the Trust establishes the Trust as an assignee and not a member of the LLC. The assignees have no voting
rights and no right to participate in the affairs of the company, but do retain economic benefits of the units.
The Trust, trustee and Assignees are obligated to sign and abide by the terms of the operating agreement.
These units of the trust can not be transferred or assigned to any other person or entity, without the express
written approval of the Board. Further, Wife, as trustee, can not transfer the units of the trust to full voting
units without Husband's consent. Wife and her counsel have reviewed the Operating Agreement of Higher
Logic, LLC.
As of immediately prior to this Settlement Agreement, Husband is the owner of 25 million Units
of Higher Logic, LLC. Immediately after giving effect to the transfers by Husband of an aggregate of 5
million Units to Wife and trusts for the benefit of Andrew and Fran's children, as contemplated by this
Settlement Agreement, (not contemplating the immediate buyback of 20% of Wife's shares upon
execution of this Agreement) (i) Husband will own 20 million Units, and (ii) Wife will own 2.5 million
Units. Subsequent to such transfers and for so long as Wife is the owner of all of the Units referenced in
clause (ii) of the preceding sentence, Husband agrees not to acquire any additional Units unless Wife is
provided the opportunity to acquire a proportionate number of additional Units (based upon the
respective number of Units then owned by each of Husband and Wife) upon substantially the same terms
and conditions as applicable to Husband. If Wife does not acquire such additional Units, Husband shall
be free to complete his Unit acquisition. The term "Units" has the same meaning given to such term in
the Operating Agreement of Higher Logic, LLC, dated January 1, 2010.
In the event Higher Logic, LLC is sold or there is a distribution of funds by Higher Logic, LLC
to unit holders, Wife and the trust for the minor children will receive a proportionate share of funds based
on the number of units Wife or the trust holds at the time of sale or distribution.
Wife shall execute any such document necessary as may be presented to her by Higher Logic
6
corporate counsel to effectuate the terms of these paragraphs.
In addition to the transfer of units from Husband to Wife and the Trust for the children, Wife and
the Trust also shall receive the benefit of any profit distribution in the same amount as their percentage
share would otherwise entitle them to receive as a unit holder. Wife and the Trust shall receive the profit
distributions in the same manner as other unit holders, at the same time and in the same form.

this business operated at a loss and has no value.
While the business continues to operate, Wife shall receive 10% of net profits distributed, after
payment of all taxes, liens, costs, etc. The parties' minor children shall receive 10% of net profits
distributed after payment of all taxes, liens, costs, etc. The profits for the children shall be distributed to the
Trust, as set forth below. At the time this LLC is sold, net profits shall be distributed so that Husband
receives his percentage of the profits, due to him as the owner, less the percentage due to Wife and the
children herein. Wife shall receive 10% of net profits, and the children of the minor parties shall receive
10% of the net profits. If the children are minors at the time this LLC is sold, the net profits for the children
shall be distributed to a Trust established for benefit of the minor children, William and Campbell. The
Trust shall be managed by Husband and Wife as joint trustees. The trust document shall be prepared by
Wife's counsel and the parties shall execute that document within 10 days of being requested to do so.

date of separation, the parties acknowledge this business existed in name only and was not an active
corporation.
D. Indemnification for Business Loans.

mentioned herein, including the furniture, household furnishings, appliances, tools and other household
personal property between them, and they mutually agree that each party shall from and after the date hereof
be the sole and separate owner of all such property presently in his or her possession whether said property
was heretofore owned jointly or individually by the parties hereto. This agreement shall have the effect of
an assignment or bill of sale from each party to the other for such property as may be in the individual
possession of each of the parties hereto.

designated the owner and/or beneficiary, all life insurance (including any cash value) identifying either
party as the insured and/or beneficiary, shall, at either party's sole discretion, be modified to identify

premiums. Wife shall be authorized to obtain information concerning the policy/policies insuring the
other party directly from the insurer upon her demand. If Husband does not have the required life
insurance in place at his death, then this shall be a claim against his estate that his estate shall not defend
against.
In addition to the above policy, Wife shall be entitled to obtain a policy on Husband's life at her
expense if she so desires. Husband shall cooperate with any examination that may be necessary for the
policy to be in effect, at Wife's expense, and shall sign documents necessary to authorize the policy. The
policy shall be maintained by Wife, at her expense.
The provisions for life insurance herein supercede any prior Agreement of the parties and
specifically supercede the Agreement and Order of Court dated August 20, 2010.
8.4 Retirement pension investments stocks bonds mutual accounts.

provided for, the transfer of assets pursuant to this Paragraph will be governed by the provisions of

recognition of any gain or loss upon the transfer by the transferor. It also is understood by the parties that

9. ALIMONY
9.1. Alimony Payments.
Husband and Wife stipulate and agree that they have exchanged earnings information, tax
records and records relating to their income, and that based upon same, it has been determined by and
between the parties hereto that Wife is a fit and proper person for an award of alimony. In determining
the nature, amount, and duration of said alimony, both parties hereto have made special reference to
Wife's present and future earning capacity, Wife's present state of employment, the relative contribution,
as well as the parties' respective medical conditions, all of which have been disclosed to each party
hereto by and through their respective counsel. In addition to considering each and every element set
forth in Section 3701 et seq. of Pennsylvania's Divorce Code in computing this alimony allocation, the
parties have also fixed and predicated the payment of alimony upon Husband's assumption of certain
ongoing debts and commitments.
Commencing on July 1, 2011 and for a period of 5 years ( 60 months) thereafter, Husband shall
pay to Wife as alimony for her support and maintenance the sum of TWO THOUSAND AND 00/100
Dollars ($2,000.00) per month, payable on the first business day of each month ["monthly payment"].
Such payments shall be made directly to Wife. After the 60`h payment, or commencing July 1, 2016, and
continuing for a period of 1 year (12 months) thereafter Husband shall pay to Wife as alimony for her
support and maintenance the sum of ONE THOUSAND AND 00/100 Dollars ($1000.00) per month,
payable on the first business day of each month ["monthly payment"]. Such payments shall be made
directly to Wife.
This determination of alimony is contractual in nature, and is based upon Wife's waiver of
interest in certain marital property rights together with Husband's assumption of the parties' former joint
13
debt. Said alimony is non-modifiable.
In the event the payments from Husband to Wife are not received by the 5"' day of the month for
two consecutive months, Wife has the option to file this Agreement as an Order to request a wage
attachment through the local Domestic Relations office, to which Husband will not object.
9.2 Termination of Alimony Payments.
Notwithstanding the provisions of subparagraphs 9. 1, the alimony payments provided for in this
Paragraph shall terminate upon the first to occur of (i) Wife's remarriage; (ii) Wife's death, (iii)
Husband's death, and in the case of alimony payments terminating upon Husband's death, there is no
liability to make any payments as a substitute for such alimony payments; or (iv) upon Wife's
cohabitation. The alimony payments provided for in this Paragraph shall be non-modifiable.
9.3 Tax Effect.
This Agreement has been negotiated on the assumption that the payments described in this
Paragraph shall be deductible by Husband and includible in the income of Wife. Therefore, it is the
intention, understanding and agreement of the parties that the payments described in this Paragraph to the
extent permitted by law shall constitute "alimony" as that term is defined in Section 71 of the Internal
Revenue Code and that, accordingly, all such payments shall be includible in Wife's gross income and
deductible by Husband for federal income tax purposes pursuant to Sections 71 and 215 of the Internal
Revenue Code. Wife must report payments received under this Paragraph in her gross income for federal
and, if applicable, for local and state income tax purposes. Wife shall be solely responsible for income
taxes with respect to those payments. If Wife should fail to report these payments on her tax returns as
required by this Paragraph, Wife shall exonerate and indemnify Husband against and hold Husband
harmless from any expenses and/or liability, including reasonable counsel and accountants' fees, arising
from that failure.
14
i 10. CHILD SUPPORT:
10.1 Financial Maintenance.
Husband is subject to an Agreement for support, requiring him to make a payment to Wife for the
support of the minor children and wife in the monthly amount of $4,000.00. This is allocated, $2000 to
Wife for spousal support and $2000 to for child support. On the date of execution of this Agreement, the
parties prior support agreement dated August 20, 2010 shall be terminated and Wife shall waive arrears
that are otherwise due to her, whether they had been collectible through Domestic Relations or some
other proceeding, in equitable distribution or otherwise. For Wife's support and for the support of the
minor children from the date of separation through June 30, 2011 that may not have otherwise been
collected through the parties' formal agreement, Husband shall pay to Wife the sum of FIFTEEN
THOUSAND DOLLARS AND 00/100 ($15,000.00). This sum shall be rolled over to Wife from
Husband's 401(k) to an account in Wife's name, and shall be transferred to Wife pursuant to a QDRO
prepared as referenced in paragraph 8.4 herein. The $15,000 shall not be taxable income to Wife. The
$2,000 allocated as spousal support to Wife for the months of January 2011 through June 2011 is taxable
income to Wife and tax deductible to Husband, pursuant to the spousal support Agreement of the parties
dated August 20, 2010.
For ongoing support, Husband shall pay to Wife for the support of their two minor children,
William Thomas Steggles, born June 7, 2005, and Campbell Grace Steggles, born December 28, 2007, a
payment of TWO THOUSAND DOLLARS AND 00/100 ($2,000.00) per month beginning in July 2011
and continuing for six years. This amount shall be non-modifiable by either party for any change of
circumstance that either may experience for the period from July 2011 through August 1, 2017, and is
based upon other agreements made by the parties included herein.
Beginning August 1, 2017, Husband shall pay to Wife for the support of their two minor
children, William and Campbell, a payment of TWO THOUSAND DOLLARS AND 00/100 ($2,000.00)
is
If
per month. This amount is subject to modification. This amount shall continue until the youngest child
turns 21 years of age.
In the event Husband dies, all child support herein terminates. Husband shall pay these amounts
directly to Wife on the first business day of each month. This Agreement supercedes the Support
Agreement and Order the parties entered into dated August 20, 2010.
10.2 Health Insurance.
In addition, Husband shall provide the health insurance coverage for the children's benefit, for
each child through his/her 18`h birthday or high school graduation, whichever is later. At the time of
execution of this Agreement, Husband provides health insurance through his employment. In the event
Husband becomes unemployed and health insurance is not available to him through employment, and
Wife also is unemployed without the ability to maintain health insurance coverage for the children
through employment, then the parties shall be equally responsible for the cost of insurance. If Husband
is unemployed but Wife is employed and has health insurance coverage through employment, Husband
shall share equally the cost of the health insurance coverage Wife pays out of pocket.
Wife shall pay the first $250 per year per child of unreimbursed medical expenses for the
children, after health insurance is applied. The parties shall divide the remaining balance of
unreimbursed medical expenses, so that Husband pays 80% of the balance and Wife pays 20% of the
balance. Wife shall submit claims for reimbursement of medical expenses to Husband every six months,
unless the claim for reimbursement exceeds $500.00. Unreimbursed medical expenses are expenses
which shall include but not be limited to, medical, counseling, psychiatric, and therapeutic expenses.
Mother and Father shall split costs of any unreimbursed dental, orthodontic, vision or eye care expense
for the children, so that Husband pays 50% of the balance and Wife pays 50% of the balance after health
insurance is applied.
10.3 Payments by Trust or Payments by Third Parties.
16
To the extent that either of the parties' obligations pursuant to this Paragraph are satisfied by
payments from trusts or other financial instruments established for the benefit of the children custodial or
similar accounts held on behalf of the children or by third parties, related to Wife or Husband or on
behalf of Wife or Husband, the party to whom the donor, trust, custodian, entity or individual is related
or on behalf of whom the donor, trust, entity or individual made the payment shall receive full credit
against that party's obligations pursuant to the terms of this Agreement to the extent of said payment and
to the extent allowed by applicable law.
10.4 Payments for College/Educational Expenses.
Each minor child has an established 529 account, for educational purposes. Husband agrees to
contribute to these accounts equally, in the amount of $2,000.00 to each account, for the years 2011
through 2017, only if his reported taxable income on his tax return is greater than $250,000 for that
calendar year.
11. HEALTH INSURANCE FOR WIFE
Husband shall provide health insurance for Wife through the date of the final divorce decree.
After the date of the final divorce decree, Wife is responsible for securing her own individual health
insurance coverage at her cost through COBRA or another plan she selects. If Wife determines to seek
the benefit of COBRA, Husband shall cooperate by providing and signing all documents necessary so
that Wife can elect that coverage separately.
From the date of separation forward, each party is individually responsible for any unreimbursed
medical expense he or she incurs.
12. CREDIT
Wife and Husband represent that they have taken all steps necessary to make sure that no credit
cards or similar accounts exist as of the date of execution of this Agreement which provide for joint
17
liability. From the date of execution of this Agreement, each party shall use only those credit cards and
accounts for which that party is individually liable.
13. DEBT:
13.1. Marital Debt: Husband and Wife acknowledge and agree that there are no outstanding
debts and obligations which are marital or for which the other might be liable incurred prior to the signing
of this Agreement. Each party shall pay for any debt listed in his or her name individually, from the date of
separation, forward.
In the event there are other marital debts not identified herein but discovered later, the parties
agree to divide the debt equally between them.
13.2 Post Separation Debt. In the event that either party contracted or incurred any debt since
the date of separation on July 1, 2009, the party who incurred said debt shall be responsible for the payment
thereof regardless of the name in which the debt may have been incurred.
13.3 Future Debt. From the date of this agreement neither party shall contract or incur any debt
or liability for which the other party or his or her property or estate might be responsible and shall
indemnify and save the other party harmless from any and all claims or demands made against him or her by
reason of debts or obligations incurred by the other party
14. INCOME TAX
14.1 Past Returns.
Each party represents that, to the best of his and her knowledge, all income tax returns and other
documents required to be filed with the Internal Revenue Service and any other taxing authority for
calendar year 2010 has been filed and that no notices have been received from the Internal Revenue
Service or any other taxing authority which remain unresolved. Each party further represents to the other
that, to the best of his or her knowledge, the information set forth in the joint tax returns filed for
calendar year 2010 was and remains accurate and acknowledges that the other party relied upon such
18
Lf ? ?
representations in signing those returns.
Therefore, if any deficiency in federal, state, or local income tax is proposed, or any assessment
of any such tax is made against either party by reason of her or his having joined in the filing of joint
federal, state or local income tax returns, each party shall indemnify the other and hold them harmless
from any tax, interest, penalty or expense resulting from any such tax deficiency, including reasonable
counsel and accounting fees, and such tax, interest, penalty or expense shall be divided equally, unless
said tax, interest, penalty or expense is finally determined to be attributable to one party's
misrepresentations or failures to disclose relevant information of income on the aforesaid joint income
tax returns. In that event, the party not determined to be at fault shall choose the counsel to represent the
parties or themselves individually in the matter and shall have the sole right to decide whether to contest
and/or to settle any such deficiency or claim. The party determined to be at fault shall be responsible for
making payment for all tax, interest, penalty or expense, and reasonable counsel and accounting fees.
14.2 Future Returns.
The parties agree that Husband shall be entitled to claim the parties' two minor children, William
and Campbell, as tax dependents and claim all available tax exemptions, including but not limited to:
head of household, dependency credit, earned income credit, dependent care assistance exclusion.
Husband shall be entitled to make these tax claims for federal and state tax purposes through and
including tax year 2017. Beginning with tax year 2018, the parties shall each claim one child, with
Husband claiming William and Wife claiming Campbell, respectively on their tax returns for all tax
dependent and tax exemption claims for so long as each child can be claimed on a return.
Husband reserves the right to elect to claim Campbell as a second dependent and tax exemption
on his tax return, beginning with tax year 2018. To effectuate the terms of this paragraph and to
determine if Husband shall make this election, Wife shall provide a copy of her W-2 to Husband no later
than March 10. Husband shall notify Wife of his intent to claim Campbell on his return for the prior tax
19
year. In the event Husband makes this election, Husband shall reimburse Wife the amount she would
have received in tax credits had claimed the child as a dependent and tax exemption for the tax year,
reimbursing her as of her filing status for that year.
15. COUNSEL FEES
Except as otherwise provided for in this Agreement, each party shall be responsible for his or her
own legal fees and expenses.

discharged in bankruptcy.

represents, covenants and warrants that, to the best of his or her knowledge and except as specifically

such party to enforce those terms in the future.

QUALIFIED DOMESTIC RELATIONS ORDER
SOCIAL SECURITY COVER SHEET
For the preservation of privacy, it is the practice of this office not to disclose Social
Security Numbers in public court documents whenever possible, particularly where court
documents are more commonly becoming available to access on-line. Federal law has been
enacted to address some of these concerns, but State law has not yet brought historical
practice into accordance with recent financial and health information privacy laws.
Typically, Qualified Domestic Relations Orders require the inclusion of Social Security
Numbers in order to properly identify the Participants and Alternate Payees in a particular Plan.
This Qualified Domestic Relations Order will be circulated only among the parties and the Plan
Administrator, unless requested by the Court or otherwise directed by the parties or the Plan
Administrator.
Therefore, I request that the Qualified Domestic Relations Order attached hereto be
signed as an Order but not docketed for public viewing by the Prothonotary.

CIVIL ACTION - LAW
IN DIVORCE
AMENDED QUALIFIED DOMESTIC RELATIONS ORDER
This cause came before the Court for entry of a Qualified Domestic Relations Order as
that term is defined and applied under Section 414(p) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 or
any successor statute thereto (the "Code"). As the terms of this Order have been stipulated and
agreed to by the parties, and the Court has been fully advised thereof, IT IS HEREBY
ORDERED AS FOLLOWS:
1. Background. This Order pertains to the Risk and Insurance Management
Society, Inc. 401(k) Profit Sharing Plan (hereinafter referred to as the "Plan") with Fidelity; is
incorporated into the judgment order dissolving the marriage of the parties; and may be
amended if necessary to comply with the Code. The Court retains jurisdiction of the subject
matter hereof and the parties hereto to enforce the terms of this Order.
2. Applicable Law. This Order is intended to be a Qualified Domestic Relations
Order (hereinafter referred to as "QDRO") as that term is defined by Section 414(p) of the
Internal Revenue Code and Section 206(d)(3) of ERISA, as amended. This Order relates to the
2
equitable division of marital property as defined under the Pennsylvania Domestic Relations
Code of 1980, as amended.
3. Definitions. As used in this Order, the following terms shall apply:
a. "Participant" shall mean Andrew Steggles, whose current address is 4615
North Park Avenue, Apt. 1008, Chevy Chase, MD 20815, whose Social Security Number is
XXX-XX-XXX (deleted on original) and whose date of birth is 1/14/70. Attorney: Marylou Matas,
26 W. High Street, Carlisle, PA 17013.
b. "Alternate Payee" shall mean Frances E. Steggles Stewart, whose current
address is 365 Walnut Street, Carlisle, PA 17013, whose Social Security Number is XXX-XX-
XXX (deleted on original) and whose date of birth is 7/14/71. Attorney: Jennifer L. Spears,
Esquire, 10 E. High Street, Carlisle, PA 17013.
C. "Administrator" shall mean the Plan Administrator for retirement plan.
4. Assignment to Alternate Payee. The Alternate Payee (who is the former
spouse of the Participant) is awarded and assigned the following from Participant's plan account
(Account No. XXXXX; Plan No. 03981): $86,000.00. Any outstanding loans shall be treated or
allocated as follows: Participant shall continue to make payment on any outstanding loans and
such loans shall not in any way affect the Alternate Payee's monetary benefit as assigned in this
paragraph.
5. Commencement of Assigned Benefits to Alternate Payee. The Alternate
Payee shall receive the Alternate Payee's assigned benefit under the Plan as soon as
administratively practicable following the Administrator's determination that this Order is a
Qualified Domestic Relations Order.
6. Form of Payment. Upon Alternate Payee's request for an immediate
distribution, as soon as administratively feasible after the date this Order is determined to be a
QDRO by the Plan Administrator, the Plan shall distribute Alternate Payee's interest in a single
lump sum payment to Alternate Payee's Individual Retirement Account with Merrill Lynch:
3
Account No. XXXXXX. The Alternate Payee shall complete such distribution forms as may be
required under the terms of the Plan.
In the event Alternate Payee does not request an immediate distribution, as soon as
administratively feasible after this Order is determined to be a QDRO by the Plan Administrator,
the Alternate Payee's interest shall be separated from the Participant's interest in the account
and will be held by the Plan in a separate account for the Alternate Payee until Alternate
Payee's request for distribution. Such separate account will be credited with its allocable share
of the income and losses of the Plan but shall not be credited with any future contributions or
forfeitures. Alternate Payee shall have the same ability to designate the investment of the
amounts in the separate account as the Participant would otherwise have had with respect to
those amounts. In accordance with the Plan, as soon as administratively feasible after
Participant's Normal Retirement, death or termination of employment, or at such earlier time as
Alternate Payee may request in writing, the Plan shall distribute the amount in Alternate Payee's
separate account to Alternate Payee in a single lump sum payment directly or, at the direction of
the Alternate Payee, to an Individual Retirement Account. The Alternate Payee shall complete
such distribution forms as may be required under the terms of the Plan.
7. Death of Participant. The death of the Participant, either before or after the
Alternate Payee has received payment of the Alternate Payee's assigned benefit, shall neither
affect the Alternate Payee's right to payment of the assigned benefit nor entitle the Alternate
Payee to any additional benefits.
8. Death of Alternate Payee.
a. Before Commencement to Alternate Payee. If the Alternate Payee dies
prior to receiving payment of the benefits assigned under this Order, the benefits payable under
this Order shall be paid to Alternate Payee's beneficiary, or if no beneficiary has been
designated, then to his estate.
4
b. After Commencement to Alternate Payee. If the Alternate Payee dies
after receiving payment of the benefits assigned under this Order, no additional benefits shall be
payable under this Order.
9. Taxes. For purposes of Sections 402(a)(2) and 72 of the Internal Revenue
Code, any Alternate Payee who is the former spouse of the Participant shall be treated as the
distributee of any distribution or payments made to the Alternate Payee under the terms of this
Order, and as such, will be required to pay the appropriate federal income taxes on such
distribution. The Alternate Payee shall have the right to roll over the benefits distributed to him
pursuant to the terms and provisions of this Order to an eligible retirement plan such as an
Individual Retirement Account. Subject to the conditions imposed by ERISA and the Internal
Revenue Code, such transfer shall be considered a tax-free rollover of the benefits distributed.
10. Continuing Interests. From the date of this Order and thereafter, except as
provided herein, the Alternate Payee shall have no further right or interest in any portion of
Participant's Plan benefits. From the date of this Order and thereafter, except as provided
herein, the Participant shall have no further right or interest in any portion of the Plan benefits
which are assigned to the Alternate Payee pursuant to this Order.
11. Costs for Implementation. Any reasonable costs incurred by the Plan
Administrator to effectuate the terms and provisions of the Qualified Domestic Relations Order
shall be assessed against the parties such that the Alternate Payee pays 100% of the costs.
Any surrender charges incurred on the portion transferred to Alternate Payee shall be paid by
the Alternate Payee.
12. Plan Provisions to Govern. This Order shall not be construed to require the
Plan, the Administrator, or any trustee or other fiduciary with respect to the Plan to take any
action which is inconsistent with any provision of the Plan, as now or hereafter in effect. The
Participant and the Alternate Payee shall be subject to all of the provisions of the Plan and any
administrative rules as from time to time in effect under the Plan.
5
13. Limitations. This order shall not be construed to require the Plan, the
Administrator, or any trustee or other fiduciary with respect to the Plan to:
a. Make any payment or take any action which is inconsistent with any
federal law, rule, regulation, or applicable judicial decision;
b. Provide any type or form of benefit, or any option, which is not otherwise
provided under the provisions of the Plan;
C. Pay 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 in accordance with the provisions of Code Section 414(p) and Section 206(d) of
the Employee Retirement Income Security Act.
14. Mailing to Last Known Address. All appropriate payments, notices and other
communications shall be mailed to the Participant and the Alternate Payee at the respective
addresses set forth in Paragraph 3 above, until such time as the Participant or Alternate Payee
advises the Administrator in writing of the occurrence of a change of address. Any benefit
payment or communication to the Alternate Payee at the Alternate Payee's last known address
shall operate on a complete discharge of the obligations, with respect to such payment or
communication, of the Plan.
15. Parties to Cooperate. If the Administrator of the Plan does not agree that this is
a "Qualified" Domestic Relations Order under Code Section 414(p), each party shall cooperate
and do all things reasonably necessary to devise a form of Order acceptable to the
Administrator as a Qualified Domestic Relations Order.

Payee to any additional benefits.
8. Death of Alternate Payee.

Order, and as such, will be required to pay the appropriate federal income taxes on such
distribution. The Alternate Payee shall have the right to roll over the benefits distributed to him

the Alternate Payee.

Participant and the Alternate Payee shall be subject to all of the provisions of the Plan and any
administrative rules as from time to time in effect under the Plan.

federal law, rule, regulation, or applicable judicial decision;
b. Provide any type or form of benefit, or any option, which is not otherwise
provided under the provisions of the Plan;
C. Pay 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 in accordance with the provisions of Code Section 414(p) and Section 206(d) of
the Employee Retirement Income Security Act.
. 14. Mailing to Last Known Address. All appropriate payments, notices and other
communications shall be mailed to the Participant and the Alternate Payee at the respective
addresses set forth in Paragraph 3 above, until such time as the Participant or Alternate Payee
advises the Administrator in writing of the occurrence of a change of address. Any benefit
payment or communication to the Alternate Payee at the Alternate Payee's last known address
shall operate on a complete discharge of the obligations, with respect to such payment or
communication, of the Plan.
15. Parties to Cooperate. If the Administrator of the Plan does not agree that this is
a "Qualified" Domestic Relations Order under Code Section 414(p), each party shall cooperate
and do all things reasonably necessary to devise a form of Order acceptable to the
Administrator as a Qualified Domestic Relations Order. f1%
