A. (1) At no time shall it be possible for the plan assets to be used for, or diverted to, any person other than for the exclusive benefit of the members and their beneficiaries, except that contributions made by the employer may be returned to the employer if the contribution was made due to a mistake of fact and the contribution is returned within six months of the mistaken payment of the contribution.
