Common use of Distribution Methods Clause in Contracts

Distribution Methods. Subject to Sections 5.05 and 5.11, the distribution methods available under the Plan are (a) a lump sum payment and (b) periodic installment payments. If a Participant or former Participant elects periodic installments payments, his Account balances shall be paid in substantially equal monthly, quarterly, semi-annual or annual periodic installments (as elected by him) for a specified number of years which may not exceed his life expectancy or the joint and last survivor life expectancy of him and his Beneficiary. Life expectancies will be determined, under Regulations issued under section 79 of the Code, as of the time payments commence. If installments are elected, the Committee may direct that the Participant’s or former Participant’s interest in the Plan be segregated and invested separately. Upon the death of a Participant or former Participant prior to the complete distribution of his Account balances, his Beneficiary may elect to receive the Beneficiary’s interest in the Account in (a) an immediate lump sum cash payment or (b) installment payments for any period not in excess of the period (if any) selected by the Participant or former Participant. Notwithstanding the foregoing, until July 1, 2001, the only distribution method available for a Participant who was a participant in the Temroc Plan is a lump sum payment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Participant is only eligible to participate in the Plan because he is employed by the Sponsor in connection with its Piper Impact division, the only distribution method available for such a Participant is a lump sum payment.
