made must be deferred to the later of: (i) five years from the date such payment would otherwise have been made, or (ii) the last payment date of the last installment with respect to that year’s deferrals. Participants who have elected payment in installments may make a subsequent election to change the number of such installment payments so long as no acceleration of distribution payments occurs, if payment of installments with respect to that year’s Compensation Deferrals has not yet commenced.
