Qualified Election means a Participant's waiver of a Qualified Joint and Survivor Annuity or a Qualified Pre-Retirement Survivor Annuity. Any such waiver must be consented to in writing by the Participant's Spouse. The Spouse's consent must: designate a specific Beneficiary (including any class of Beneficiaries or any contingent Beneficiaries, which may not be changed without spousal consent) or expressly permits designations by the Participant without any further spousal consent; acknowledge the effect of the election; and be witnessed by a member of the Committee or a Notary Public. Additionally, a Participant's waiver of the Qualified Joint and Survivor Annuity shall not be effective unless the election designates a form of benefit payment which may not be changed without spousal consent (or the Spouse expressly permits designations by the Participant without any further spousal consent). Notwithstanding this consent requirement, if the Participant establishes to the satisfaction of a member of the Committee that there is no Spouse or the Spouse cannot be located, a waiver will be deemed a Qualified Election. Any spousal consent (or deemed spousal consent) obtained under this provision will be valid only with respect to such Spouse. A consent that permits designations by the Participant without further consent by such Spouse must acknowledge that the Spouse has the right to limit consent to a specific Beneficiary and, where applicable, a specific form of benefit, and that the Spouse voluntarily elects to relinquish either or both of such rights. A revocation of a prior waiver may be made by a Participant without the consent of the Spouse at any time before the commencement of benefits. The number of revocations shall not be limited.
