The amount of plan assets includes amounts contributed by the employer, and by plan participants for a contributory plan, and amounts earned from investing the contributions, less benefits, income taxes, and other expenses incurred. Plan assets ordinarily cannot be withdrawn by the employer except under certain circumstances when a plan has assets in excess of obligations and the employer has taken certain steps to satisfy existing obligations. Securities of the employer held by the plan are includable in plan assets provided they are transferable. Assets not segregated in a trust, or otherwise effectively restricted, so that they cannot be used by the employer for other purposes are not plan assets, even though the employer may intend that those assets be used to provide health and welfare benefits, which may include postretirement benefits. Those assets shall be accounted for in the same manner as other employer assets of a similar nature and with similar restrictions. If a plan has liabilities other than for benefits, those nonbenefit obligations are considered as reductions of plan assets. Amounts accrued by the employer but not yet paid to the plan are not plan assets. If a trust arrangement explicitly provides that segregated assets are available to satisfy claims of creditors in bankruptcy, such a provision would effectively permit those assets to be used for other purposes at the discretion of the employer. It is not necessary to determine that a trust is bankruptcy-proof for the assets of the trust to qualify as plan assets. However, assets held in a trust that explicitly provides that such assets are available to the general creditors of the employer in the event of the employer's bankruptcy would not qualify as plan assets.\"><span>plan assets</span></a> </span></span></div></li><li class=\"li-norm\"><span class=\"linum\">i</span><div class=\"p\"><span class=\"sfragment\"
