Through a voice response system (or other written or electronic means) approved by the Executive Vice President, Human Capital, the Participant may elect from time to time to change the form of payment for a specified portion of the Participant’s Account or to delay payment of a specified portion of the Participant’s Account. Each subsequent distribution election shall be effective as to the specified portion of the Participant’s Account. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any new distribution election shall be disregarded as if it had never been filed (and the prior distribution election shall be given effect) unless the distribution election:

 

  (a) is filed by a Participant while employed by the Employer or an Affiliate,

 

  (b) is filed with the Executive Vice President, Human Capital at least twelve (12) months before the Participant’s scheduled distribution date following the Participant’s Termination of Employment, Disability or death,

 

  (c) is filed at least twelve (12) months after the initial distribution election for the specified portion of the Participant’s Account (or, if one or more prior changes has been filed, at least twelve (12) months after the latest of such changes was filed),

 

  (d) has the effect of delaying payment of the lump sum (or, in the case of installments treated as a single payment, the first installment) under the prior election for at least five (5) years, and

 

  (e) shall not take effect until at least twelve (12) months after the date it is filed with the Executive Vice President, Human Capital.
