| (iii) | Window Election Deadline. The “Window Election Deadline” means the earlier of (i) the date that is 60 days after an Eligible Individual initiates the process of commencing benefits under this Section, or (ii) such administrative date as the Retirement Committee may establish in its sole discretion, which shall be no later than the Final Distribution Date. |

17
| (ii) | Non-Retirement-Eligible Individual. An Eligible Individual who, as of the Final Distribution Date, is otherwise not eligible to commence his benefit as of the Final Distribution Date even if he or she terminated employment, may elect to receive his or her Plan benefit in the form of: |
(A) a lump-sum payment pursuant to this Section,
