both members agree, as a condition precedent to the Board permitting them to set aside jointly an amount which is less than 2 times the minimum sum, that in the event of the death of either member, the Board may transfer to the retirement account of the surviving member such amount in cash standing to the credit of the deceased member in the deceased member’s retirement account as he has nominated the surviving member to receive,
the Board may permit the members to set aside jointly such amount, being an amount which is less than 2 times the minimum sum, as the Board may specify.

pay to the surviving member the remainder, if any, of the amount that the deceased member has nominated the surviving member to receive.

(3)  Where the 2 members of the Fund wish to vary the amount already set aside by the first member under paragraph (2), the amount which the second member shall set aside under that paragraph shall be varied accordingly.
(4)  Where the Board permits 2 members of the Fund to set aside jointly an amount which is less than 2 times the minimum sum, both members shall ensure that there is no shortfall in that amount.
(5)  The amount which the 2 members of the Fund set aside jointly under this regulation shall include —
