WHEREAS, the Executive hereby elects to receive a lump sum distribution of the Grandfathered Benefit; and

Such result shall then be further reduced by subtracting the Executive’s Pre-2005 Accrued Benefit in accordance with Section 1.1A.
Notwithstanding the forgoing, in the event of the occurrence of any of the circumstances described in Section 1.17.2, the Vested Percentage shall not be adjusted pursuant to Section 1.17.2.
