The method of distribution shall be either in a lump sum or as annual installments of over a period of years not to exceed fifteen (15). The Participant may elect to change the method of distribution for all or a portion of the Deferred Compensation benefit by written notice to the Funds. Such election to change method of distribution shall become effective one year from the date such election is made, provided the Participant remains an eligible participant during such period.
