A person maintaining an old fund may elect to continue the old fund, but may not—

(1)

hold amounts in the old fund beyond the expiration date provided in the agreement under which the old fund is maintained (determined without regard to an extension or renewal made after April 14, 1970); or

(2)

(c)

Application of New Fund Agreement to Old Fund Amounts.—
