2. If the Participant dies before the distribution of the Participant's interest has <br />begun pursuant to the Required Minimum Distributions subsection, above, the <br />Participant's entire interest will be distributed, or begin to be distributed, no later <br />than as follows: <br />a. If the Participant's surviving Spouse is the Participant's sole Designated <br />Beneficiary, then distributions to the surviving Spouse will begin by <br />December 31 of the calendar year immediately following the calendar <br />year in which the Participant died, or by December 31 of the calendar <br />year in which the Participant would have attained age seventy and <br />one-half (70-1/2), if later. The minimum amount that will be distributed <br />for each Distribution Calendar Year after the year of the Participant`s <br />death is the quotient obtained by dividing the Participant's Account <br />balance by the remaining life expectancy of the Participant's surviving <br />Spouse. <br />b. If the Participant's surviving Spouse is not the Participant's sole <br />Designated Beneficiary, then distributions to the Designated Beneficiary <br />will begin by December 31 of the calendar year immediately following <br />the calendar year in which the Participant died. The minimum amount <br />that will be distributed for each Distribution Calendar Year after the year <br />of the Participant's death is the quotient obtained by dividing the <br />Participant's Account Balance by the remaining life expectancy of the <br />Participant's Designated Beneficiary. <br />c. If there is no Designated Beneficiary as of September 30 of the year <br />following the year of the Participant's death, the Participant's entire <br />interest will be distributed by December 31 of the calendar year <br />containing the fifth (5th) anniversary of the Participant's death. <br />d. If the Participant's surviving Spouse is the Participant's sole Designated <br />Beneficiary and the surviving Spouse dies after the Participant but <br />before distributions to the surviving Spouse begin, this subsection will <br />apply as if the surviving Spouse were the Participant. <br />3. For purposes of this subsection, distributions are considered to begin on the <br />Participant's Required Beginning Date; provided, however, that if the <br />Participant's surviving Spouse is the Participant's sole Designated Beneficiary <br />and the surviving Spouse dies after the Participant but before distributions to <br />the surviving Spouse begin, distributions are considered to begin on the date <br />distributions are required to begin to the surviving Spouse under subparagraph <br />a of paragraph 2, above. <br />4. If the Participant dies before the distribution of the Participant's interest has <br />begun pursuant to the Required Minimum Distributions subsection, above, and <br />there is a Designated Beneficiary, the Participant or the Participant's <br />Beneficiaries may elect, on an individual basis, whether the five (5)-year rule or <br />the life expectancy rule set forth above applies to distributions after the death of <br />a Participant who has a Designated Beneficiary. The election must be made <br />no later than the earlier of (i) September 30 of the calendar year in which <br />distribution would be required to begin, or (ii) September 30 of the calendar <br />year which contains the fifth (5th} anniversary of the Participant's (or, if <br />applicable, surviving Spouse's) death.
