(b)	subject to subclause (9) prior to the date determined by the Council in terms of this clause.

(6)

In the event of an eligible employee's death, all amounts to his credit in the Holiday Fund shall be paid to his duly appointed nominee, if any.

(9)

In the event of the Council being wound up or dissolved, the Holiday Fund shall continue to be administered by the MBA Groter-Boland before the winding up of the Council. In the event of the MBA Groter-Boland being unable to fulfil its duties for any reason, the parties shall appoint a trustee or trustees to carry out their duties, and for this purpose such trustee or trustees shall have the same powers as the committee,

(10)	In the event of there being no Council in existence at the time of the expiry of this Agreement, the Holiday Fund shall be liquidated by the MBA Groter-Boland or trustees appointed in terms of subclause (9) above.

(11)

In the event of liquidation of the Holiday Fund in terms of subclause (9) or subclause (10) above, the balance of the moneys remaining after payment of all claims against the Holiday Fund, including administration and liquidation expenses shall be paid into the fund of the MBA Groter-Boland.
