Section 11 <br />Amendment and Termination <br />11.01 The Board of Trustees reserves the right to amend or terminate the Fund, subject to <br />the provisions and requirements of the Act. <br />a. An amendment or other change adopted shall not deprive a Firefighter of the <br />Fund of a right to receive a vested benefit unless that Firefighter gives his <br />written consent or unless the reduction in benefits is made in accordance with <br />Section 16 of the Act. <br />b. All amendments to the Fund shall be made under the procedures prescribed by <br />the Act. <br />C. The Board has the power to make any amendment to the Fund to insure the <br />Fund is and remains qualified for purposes of Code §401 and to obtain a <br />favorable determination letter from the IRS. <br />d. In the event of termination of the Plan, the rights of all Firefighters to the <br />benefits accrued to the date of such termination (to the extent funded as of <br />such date) shall be non -forfeitable. In such event, the Plan assets will be <br />allocated and paid in accordance with applicable law. No such termination shall <br />cause any part of the corpus or income of the Plan to be used for or diverted <br />to purposes other than the exclusive benefit of Firefighters or their <br />beneficiaries. <br />►W <br />
