§5.2 选举时间要求。 In order to elect to defer Compensation earned during a Plan Year or a fiscal year of the Company, an Eligible Executive shall file an
irrevocable Deferral Form with the Plan Administrator before the beginning of such Plan Year or fiscal year, as applicable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Committee or the Plan Administrator determines that the Annual Incentive Compensation or LTIP Award qualifies as “performance-based compensation” under Code section 409A, an Eligible Executive may elect to defer such Compensation by filing a Deferral Form at such later time up until the date six months before the end of the performance period as permitted by the Committee or the Plan Administrator.
An Eligible Executive’s election to defer Compensation shall be cancelled, in accordance with the regulations under Code section 409A, if the Eligible Executive obtains a hardship distribution from a Code section 401(k) plan pursuant to Reg. §1.401(k)-1(d)(3) or any successor thereto.
§5.3 Distribution Upon Separation. Unless otherwise elected under Section 5.4 or 5.5, a Participant's vested Account Balance shall be distributed in accordance with the Default Distribution Schedule on the Payment Date after such Participant’s Separation from Service. Notwithstanding the foregoing, distributions may not be made to a Key Employee upon a Separation from Service before the date which is six months after the date of the Key Employee’s Separation from Service (or, if earlier, the date of death of the Key Employee). Any payments that would otherwise be made during this period of delay shall be accumulated and paid in the seventh month following the Participant’s Separation from Service (or, if earlier, the month after the Participant's death). Each annual installment thereafter, if any, shall be paid on each successive anniversary of such Payment Date.
§5.4 Distribution Elections.
(a) Initial Distribution Election for Elective Contributions. In the case of the first year in which an Eligible Executive defers Compensation under the Plan, as determined by the Plan Administrator in its sole discretion, the Participant may make an Initial Distribution Election, in accordance with the requirements in Section 5.2 and the administrative rules and procedures established by the Plan Administrator, to receive that portion of his or her Account Balance attributable to Elective Contributions (and earnings thereon) in any permitted time or form of payment provided in Section 5.6.
(b) Special Transition Period Election. Notwithstanding any prior elections or Plan provisions to the contrary, during the transition period under Code section 409A and applicable guidance issued thereunder, certain Participants, designated by the Plan Administrator, may have made (1) an election to receive the portion of his or her Account Balance attributable to the Elective Contributions and Non-Elective Contributions in any permitted time or form of payment provided in Section 5.6; or (2) an election to receive his or her Account Balance in a lump sum upon death. Any such election must have become irrevocable on or before December 31, 2008 and must have been made in accordance with procedures and distribution rules established by the Plan Administrator.
§5.5 Subsequent Deferral Election. In accordance with the administrative rules and procedures established by the Plan Administrator, a Participant may make up to three subsequent
elections to change the time or form of payment (from among those available under Section 5.6) for all or the portion of his or her vested Account Balance (each, a “Subsequent Deferral Election”) attributable to Elective Contributions or Non-Elective Contributions (and earnings thereon) in accordance with this Section 5.5, but only if the following conditions are satisfied:
(a) The Subsequent Deferral Election may not take effect until at least twelve (12) months after the date on which such election is made;
(b) Such distribution may not be made earlier than at least five (5) years from the date the distribution would have otherwise been made; and

The Company may also accelerate and pay a portion of a Participant's benefits in a lump sum equal to the Federal Insurance Contributions Act (“FICA”) tax imposed and the income tax withholding related to such FICA amounts. The Company or other payor shall report Plan payments and other Plan-related information to the appropriate governmental agencies as required under applicable laws.
§11.5 Incapacity. If the Plan Administrator, in its sole discretion, deems a Participant or Beneficiary who is eligible to receive any payment hereunder to be incompetent to receive the same by reason of illness or any infirmity or incapacity of any kind, the Plan Administrator may direct the Company to apply such payment directly for the benefit of such person, or to make payment to any person selected by the Plan Administrator to disburse the same for the benefit of the Participant or Beneficiary. Payments made pursuant to this Section shall operate as a
discharge, to the extent thereof, of all liabilities of the Company, the Plan Administrator and the Plan to the person for whose benefit the payments are made.
§11.6 Unclaimed Benefits. Each Participant shall keep the Plan Administrator informed of his or her current address and the current address of his or her designated Beneficiary. The Plan Administrator shall not be obligated to search for the whereabouts of any person if the location of a person is not made known to the Plan Administrator.
