Distributions upon Vesting. In the case of any Award providing for a distribution upon the lapse of a risk of forfeiture, if the timing of such distribution is not otherwise specified in the Plan or an Award Agreement or other governing document, the distribution shall be made not later than March 15 of the year following the year in which the risk of forfeiture lapsed, and if a determination is to be made promptly following the end of a Performance Period (as in the case of Performance Awards), then the determination of the level of achievement of the applicable Performance Measures and the distribution shall be made between January 1 and March 15 of the year following the end of such Performance Period. In all cases, the Participant shall have no right to designate the tax year in which distribution will be made (other than pursuant to an election that satisfies the requirements of [Section 10(e)(i)(E)]).
Timing of Distributions.

In the case of any distribution of any other Award subject to Code section 409A, if the timing of such distribution is not otherwise specified in the Plan, Award agreement or other governing document, the distribution shall be made not later than the end of the calendar year during which the settlement of such Award is specified to occur, or if later, two and half months after the settlement of such Award is specified to occur.
